6-28-23 Dan Carroll in for Willie

And this Wednesday afternoon and Stan Carroll in for the great American Bill Cunningham, who was in Columbus today doing God Knows One. And I get to be here at three o'clock this afternoon, certainly looking forward to that. And between now and then, I've got a couple of great guests. Hopefully take some

of your phone calls. Joe Biden doesn't know where Putin is waging war right now, I could probably give I could probably pick any listener at random to this radio station and to this show, and you could tell me where a Putin is waging war at this moment where we're sending billions and billions of dollars.

But before we get into that, I was getting ready for the show today, and you may have heard Scott Sloan talking about this issue just a little while ago here on seven hundred WLW, and it's Issue one and Ohioans are going to go to the polls on August eighth and vote on Issue one.

And so I'm looking around at the various websites as I normally do, getting ready for getting ready for the show, and I see this line on the WCPO website, and the headline is this answering viewer questions about Ohio's Issue one. And when I think of WCPO, a place where I used to work several years ago. We not several years ago, but it's been it's been more than a few years now. When I look at WCPO, when think of WCPO, I think of that as a legitimate news organization. Do

you not? Can you? Cam? We all join together and say w CPO is a legitimate news outlet. I think it is. And I look at the piece that they put on their website, cut and pasted from their friends in Columbus, Ohio. So this is a piece answering your questions of your questions about Ohio's Issue one. But it wasn't written locally. It was written by a Morgan Trow who works for a news five, which I'm guessing is a script station or a station they're affiliated within Columbus, Ohio. And

the first question is this. The first question comes from Stephen in Cleveland, and he asked this question, why haven't I seen anything about this? And the reply is this, Well, Steven, if you haven't seen our stories, you're about to see a lot more about Issue one on television. The one Person, One Vote campaign released its first statewide TV AD Tuesday morning. A constitutional amendment this August called Issue one would permanently remove our rights from the

Ohio Constitution. The ad declares Issue one ends the majority rule in Ohio, undermining the sacred principle of one person, one vote. So this again the answer refers to an AD that's obviously being run by an advocate group. But this is in the context and it doesn't go on to really explain any more than that. And I'm not claiming that I know all the ins and outs of Issue one, but someone who does is my first guest today, and that is Rachel's Tach. And Rachel C. Tach is a local attorney.

Rachel C. Tach is the president of Cincinnati Right to Life. And Rachel C. Tach Welcome again to seven hundred WLW and Rachel, great to talk to you this afternoon. How are you great? How are you Dan? I'm great, I'm glad you are here. So were you surprised? Like me? As I said, you got to look at this article on the WCPO website. And when someone asks a legitimate question, why haven't I seen

anything about this? The response that they get Is this from an advocacy group that is saying Issue one ends majority rule, undermines the sacred principle of one person, one vote. Were you surprised to see that as a as an answer from a legitimate news outlet. Absolutely, And the way that the article was framed as well was just so disappointing because they take this question and they

respond to it with a quote from that organization that distends their position. And when they say when they go to the other side, what they quote is an email talking about where they're canvassing. They're campusing in all eighty eight counties. There's nothing about why or what the position is that other side. It's

not a balance overview or even a response to the question at all. So it really it fails the test if you ask me about balance, right because because they're giving this response as if that is a straight down the middle answer to this question. And what I what I like about your website, Cincinnati Right to Life, is the moment you go there, you get and you are you are an advocate for vote yes on this issue, for vote yes on Issue one on August eighth. I'm looking at your website right now and

h and it pops up there that preborn lives depend on. You tell me about why why you're supporting this position. Absolutely, Um, you know, Dan, it really is something that is it's so much broader than abortion at stake here. We do have dangerous late term, unfettered abortion that's at stake here. And I'm sure we'll get a chance to touch on the November Amendment, but really this relates to absolutely everything that is at stake in the constitution

that is constitutionally protected right now in Ohio. And we wouldn't have such diverse groups coming together on each side of this issue if it wasn't broader than a support or an opposition to abortion. You know, on the support side, we have gun owners, we have Second Amendment advocates, restaurant owners, business owners, Chamber of Commerce, and pro life groups that are all in support of Issue one. And the are groups that have ever before come together on

an issue. We don't have the same page on social issues, so it's not an abortion issue. On the opposition side, however, we do have quite an interesting group there as well. We have one person, one vote that opposes Issue one. Their donations pass through Act Blue. They are registered and paid for with the pack that has the ACOU on the steering committee. This opposition to Issue one is also supported by Common Cause, which donates to

the DNC and Democrats with congressional campaign committees. If you go to vote no in August dot org, you'll see their coalition members supported by Planned Parenthood, the Ohio Democratic Party, the Council on American Islamic Relations, which is care pro Choice, Ohio, Ohio Environmental Council, Action for Climate Feminist Leadership, and then as we've seen from the media so far, we also have media outlets like the Columbus Dispatch and the Cleveland Plane Dealer that have weighed in opposing

Issue one as well. When we get down to the brass tacks of what this amendment is about, it's about elevating the standards that it takes for these special interests from out of state to come in and change the Ohio Constitution. This is our founding document and right now we require five percent of eligible voters from half of the counties to sign a petition and then once it's on the ballot, it has to pass with a fifty one fifty plus one of threshold.

What we're looking to elevate this too, is requiring voters from all eighty eight counties five percent of those eligible voters from all eighty eight counties, not just half, not just the rural, not just the cities, not just the Democrats strongholds, all eighty eight counties need to have a say on what ends up on the ballot. And once it's on the ballot, we're raising that threshold to sixty percent so that we see that this is amendments that are

passing with wide spread support. If you look at just if you take just maybe the past few amendments that we've had, we see that there is a pattern of fifteen as the past twenty amendments has passed with over sixty percent of the vote. The last three have had over seventy five percent of the vote.

You know, things like opposing Obamacare that was a sixty six percent, Marcy's Law, eighty three percent, bail issue one which we just had seventy six percent, So that that this is really an elevated standard which is going

to reflect what has widespread consensus in Ohio. Well, I agree with that, and I have long been of the notion that and I feel the same way about the federal Constitution is that in the And I think the framers of the Constitution, the founders of this country, wanted it to be a difficult process to amend the Constitution because it should be something that a vast majority, the overwhelming majority that people are in favor of, I think, and going

from fifty percent plus one here in Ohio to a majority of sixty percent of voters approving a constitutional amendment, to me, on the face of it, does not sound like a bad idea. It should be difficult, and just rephrasing what you said, if whatever the idea is to change constitution, it should be so overwhelmingly positive, It should be so overwhelmingly on its face apparent to the good citizens of Ohio that this needs to be done. It should

get well over sixty percent of support the change of constitution. And so that notion that it should be difficult, I think, to me is the overwhelming thing when I look at this issue. Now we've already talked about abortion, but how is it? And I think this is where a lot of people get confused on this issue, because issue one is changing the requirement that we have sixty percent vote on the Constitution. And I was listening to Scott Sloan

talk to Frank Leros, a Secretary of State, about this. He said that the Ohio Constitution is seventy thousand words and the Constitution of the United States is only seven thousand words. And so, I mean, you talk about things to get complicated. I don't want to sit down and leave through a seventy thousand page document. I mean, you're a lawyer, you probably do

it all the time, but I don't want you go ahead. You know that that is a great point, is to the point that we have so many amendments that you almost have to hire an attorney to read it, to understand it and to know how to pursue your constitution, all right, And it ought not be that way. You know, we look at the United States Constitution, as you pointed out, we have only twenty seven amendments on the United States Constitution, twenty five twenty five of those are active because we

take away, you know, prohibition. But then we have twenty five there that are active. And why does Ohio then have a hundred and seventy two. I think it's the total right now, if I'm not mistaken, it's because we're so vulnerable to these out of state interests with just a fifty plus

one majority. And you know what's also important to see is that when we decide to make all of these changes to the law and enshrine business plans down to the very parcel and address into our Ohio Constitution, you know, that is a situation where it's almost it's almost impossible to repeal. We rewrite laws

all the time, but repeal of an amendment is rare. And when I was in law school, there was a professor who said very coarsely that if someone writes a law or is a corrupt politician, you vote the bastards out. That is what you do when someone from the legislative branch does something that

you don't agree with or is evolved in corruption. But when you have an amendment that is brought into being by groups that are from out of state, that are cutting corners and selling deceptive lives and bringing in out of state interests, then that's when you see that our fundamental founding document to our nation is

really really at risk. Care it's very vulnerable to these deceptive interests. So the way this is and you correct me if I'm wrong, but the way this is connected to the abortion issue is that there are pro abortion forces we're seeking to amend the Ohio Constitution that would enshrine abortion on demand, abortion at any time up to and including the ninth month. Is that correct? You

know? I would say that the way it's connected to the abortion issue is that there is opposition from pro abortion groups in Ohio that are opposed to issue one. Which is funny because if you look at one of the supporters of this, one of the supporters of the opposition to issue one, which is the Ohio Democrat Party, their own party constitution requires a sixty vote like we're asking, so hearing their messaging that's caused us a supermajority is a little bit

of a misnomer. It's less than the federal requirement of sixty six percent and two thirds. It's ratifying. It's the same as the Democrat Party platform requirement to amend their own constitution. We've got four other states that require that sixty six vote Arizona, California, Nevada, and Louisiana. And then we've got three other states that require sixty percent vote, Mississippi and Oregon and Delaware.

How that I think we look at how this is going to affect abortion in Ohio is that when we get past this August special election, we are looking down the road in November at a very, very scary and serious threat to parental rights in Ohio because what's coming down the pike is just an unprecedented assault on parental rights and unfettered abortion in Ohio through all nine months. It's a

collusion with big Pharma that is going to obliterate parential consent. It's going to allow painful, dangerous late term abortion, life altering sex change surgeries and hormone therapies. And when we have parents that are going to want to get involved and are going to want to walk with their children through these kinds of decisions, they are not going to be allowed to interfere. All right, well, Rachel Seatach, We're gonna have to leave it right there. We're up

against the clock. Thank you for being here. If people want to find out more about you, where can they go? I would love for them to join me on Instagram at at Attorney Advocate, or you can go to our website Cincinnati since you Right to Life dot org and we would love to have you be informed and become a volunteer to make sure that voters are informed on issue one in the November election. All right, Rachel Seatach, thank you, and we'll talk again before August eighth. All right, thank you.

All right, there you go, Rachel Setach, attorney at law and the president of Cincinnati Right to Life. Twelve twenty six. Got to get to a break news coming up. Bottom of the hour, Dan Carol for Bill Cunningham on seven hundred WULW try state fireworks. He's ready to make your party foolw. Dan Carroll in for Bill Cunningham as we rock and roll till three o'clock this afternoon. And one of the websites that I go to on a regular basis is hotair dot com. And one of the great writers,

the associate editor there is my buddy David Strom. I've had him on the program numerous times, and he joins me once again this afternoon, and David Strom, how are you today? Well, I'm on the Dan Carroll Show. Well I'm great. They don't get much better than that. I would imagine you're better than president. By Let let me you know, let me start, let me start this way. Let me just give you a little pop quiz. Right here, A couple of couple of really tough questions.

Where is it in the world that Vladimir Putin is waging a war of aggression right now? Well, everyone knows it's a rat. On top of that, where has the United States been sending billions upon billions of harder and taxpayer dollars to support which is And it's clearly a mistake because President Biden is telling us that it's a rat. Well, yeah, I mean, for God's sake, I mean, if you're going to fight Russia, at least send

the weapons to the right country. Wouldn't it be helpful if we had a chief executive, a commander in chief who knew where, you know, some some sort of large issues like this were taking place. And for those who don't know what the heck we're talking about, David Strong, let me just play a quick SoundBite here. Joe Biden was heading out to Marine one,

I guess a little bit earlier today. He was stopped by reporters outside the White House and he was asked about his buddy Vladimir Putin remaining in power after the attempted coup or whatever the heck that was that took place over the weekend in the last few days, Dave let's hear cut number one card to tell. But he was clearly moving to war in Iraq. He's moving to war at home, and he is h come up with him a briar around the world. Uh hoot, test NATO. It's not just singers in Union Japan.

It's really so David Strom. There, you have it right there. He's clearly losing the war in Iraq. Everybody knows it. And I guess you and I are just not not up with the program right now. Well, I mean, it's hard to keep up with Joe Biden. I think it was yesterday he admitted that he was selling out the United States and today he's telling us that we're in the midst of a war in Iraq against Russia. Uh, you know, I mean it's hard to keep up. I

mean, this guy is a genius and we're just normals. Why why isn't

there more coverage on that? When he sat there and said I've sold I've sold top secrets, I've sold secrets, Well the media just looks at that and yawns as if and there's zero coverage on that except that there's you know, there's a little bit in hot air, and there's a little bit on some of the other websites, but ABC, NBCCBS, You've got the President of the United States sitting there with the leader of India saying that I've sold States and and and it's it's as if as part of the course, nothing

ever happens. Well, you know, I mean, we are now in the midst of a world driven entirely by narrative. The left truly believes that reality is defined by words and everything has to be sort of mushed around. I mean, this is everywhere. I mean, you know, the Canadian government a month ago just reshuffled the alphabet for the alphabet people and now it's two slg BT. And then the CBC just yesterday reshuffled the alphabet again and

they've dropped lesbian, gays and bisexuals completely out of it. And I think what they're trying to do is just keep us always on our back foot because they believe reality is defined by whatever they tell us. We're living in Orwell's world. It is really out of control. And then we had a series of gay Pride events over the weekend, and of course, and everyone knows if you go to a gay Pride event, you're encouraged to bring the kids.

It's family friendly where you get to see naked men walking around waving flags and banners, riding bicycles and all such manner of things. And then you have in New York City where they were chanting that we're here, we're queer, we're coming or your children, and we're just supposed to look at NBC did us all a favor today by reporting that it's it's really you're just mistake you really, you know, you regular you know, middle aged white guys,

straight people really have no idea what this is about. It's all perfectly fine. Well, and I think that they believe it. I mean, we're really moving into a world where they genuinely are coming for their children. They even tell you that they're coming for the children. And it's not just

the chance. Uh. You know, in Montgomery County, they're you know, they're shutting out parents out of school board meetings because they're objecting to the fact that now you don't even get to opt out of this ideological grooming that's going on. They're just saying, we're going to shove it down your kid's throats, and there's nothing that you can do. About it. You know,

I mean, it's just perfectly clear that they're coming for children. And you know, I mean in London, the police department is actually partnering up with a pedophile activist who justifies older men having sex with kids as young as eight and saying it's good for them, and he's one of their outreach coordinators. It's you know, anyone who says that they're not trying to sexualize children

is just lying. I mean they are. And you know, I mean they've they've pretty much admitted it. I mean here in Minnesota and in Connecticut they have actually included now pedophiles under their protected class, you know, as if it's a sexual orientation. Both states explicitly excluded pedophiles and they took that

out of the laws. Now they have not yet legalized pedophilia, but if you're a pedophile who hasn't been caught, but you say that you like to have sexual children, you are now a legitimate sexual orientation in those states. Now, see a lot of people are going to hear you say stuff like that and say, oh, this is just another one of Dan's right wing kookie guests and who just puts out all this false information out there and they

don't. It's just that's how all this stuff gets left off. And so you know, when we see these things and we and we people tell us who they are and what they are doing, we should believe them. But but then they keep but the national media keeps covering up, just like they cover up for the Bidens and everybody else who supports the agenda. Oh yeah, well, the AP actually set to check that and said it was false. I mean, I could show you the law. You can actually watch

the debate at the Minnesota House of Representatives. It's online. I have an article on it, and I can show you. I mean, they literally struck out the language that was in the law that excluded pedophilia as a sexual orientation. And you know, there is absolutely no debate that they did it. Now they're claiming that they're not legalizing pedophilia, which is true. They have yet to legalize it, but they have made it a sexual orientation that

is protected under human rights law here in the state of Minnesota. And they call these particular pedophiles virtuous pedophiles, ones who are not which means not yet caught having sex with children, right, I mean, the people who write

about why this is a good thing and good for children. And they're psychologists and psychiatrists you can find online who are arguing this it's a good thing, you know, and they will talk about tribes in Africa where it's accepted, or the Greeks, uh, you know, practice this in the fourth century BC, and explain how this is genuinely good for the maturation of children. You, as a landlord can say, well, I don't want to rent to you. You know, are just such rooms and so backwards. It

really is disgusting, it really is. We're yeah, well that is really exactly what they argue. Uh. And uh, you know, it's pretty hard to argue that the elite does not at least tolerate this. I mean, you've got Jeffrey Epstein who did this for years, got convicted of pedophilic acts and you know, had her office at Harvard after he got out of prison, is bringing people to his island on the Lolita Express all. I

mean, you can see lists of people who were on his aircraft. Uh. You had Roman Polanski who got an oscar after he was convicted of raping a thirteen year old girl, and pretty much every celebrity out there signed a partial to let him come to the United States to get his oscar, despite the fact that he was still a convicted pedophile who had not served his sentence in the United States. So they clearly think it's no big deal. So David, look up the case of Romanians. I mean, it's right there.

Yeah, So David strama in other news, isn't an interesting that we have all these whistleblowers coming out now from the IRS talking about the interference that they got from the Department of Justice into the Hunter Biden investigation. Just some of the most damning evidence that we've ever seen that outlays and identifies the corruption

within this family and within this administration. And then at the same time, we get this leak from I don't know where it came from, but if the prosecution against Donald Trump, and we have this audio tape come out, this audio recording that has Trump talking about some documents and said he wanted to go to Warreth the Rock and all this and CBS News in what Russia Limbaugh used to call a random act of journalism actually looked into this and you had

if you watched MSNBC and CNN earlier this week, they were besides themselves because finally they had an audio. This was the smoking gun that was going to do him in. But CBS came out and said, you know what, this wasn't even in the documents that he was indicted for. So yeah, well, you know, where are the journalistic standards and the ethics, because how many times have we heard, you know, there's a piece of audio that comes out they couldn't verify the Hunter Biden laptop, and they just aren't

going to disclose that information until they can go ahead and verify it. But yet the moment, the instant that something comes out and looks like it might be bad for Trump, well that goes on the air right away. So yeah, So the journalistic ethics that all these different organizations have, it seems

that they are They're quite pliable when it suits their needs. Hey, I've got another example for you yesterday, buried in paragraph twenty one of a story on the Irs whistleblowers, the New York Times drops the tidbit, which is they have independently verified some of the claims, so and somehow, I mean, it just sort of drops in their paragraph twenty one and then they move

on to other things. And it's like Hey, wait a second, You've independently verified that Merrick Garland lied to Congress and that is not the headline. There's a phrase we use in the business called burying the lead, and that's, yes, exactly what that is. Yeah, that is about it. Mary, did you get I mean paragraph twenty one? And uh, you know I wrote about it this morning, and you know it's nowhere in the

mainstream media. It's like, well, wait a second, I mean, we now have absolute proof, according to the New York Times, that Merrick Garland lied, that they interfered with the investigation. And everybody's shrugging, you know, no big deal, And it goes how do you live in a

world where you know, everybody in charge of everything is just corrupt? It is, and the thoroughness of the corruption just goes on and on and on, and before we go, why is it the bud light is just getting around us saying now that they've finally fired the top two advertising executives the marketing you got Daniel Blake, the marketing VP, and Melissa heinrich side that they are no longer with the company and they were put on a leave of absence.

I guess months ago when this thing first happened, But now they I guess they've lost so much money. There's no way they're coming back. And to my way of thinking, David Strom, all these advertising campaigns, the CEO said he was going to go out and do a listening campaign and all the rest of this, they have yet to actually own what happened. And I don't know how they're going to get better unless they do that. We

got about twenty seconds left. Well, Budbart is dead, and I think that they didn't say that they were fired for so long because they're afraid of lawsu. I mean, it's the rule of HR. You know, human resources actually run companies. All right, Well, David Strom, with that, we got to let it go. Great talking to you again. If people want to find out more about you, where can they go bair dot com and I am an accept writer and a guest on radio. David Strom,

Great talking to you, buddy. Thanks for the thanks for chiming in, and we'll do it again soon. All right, it's a blast. All right. There you go David stromhotair dot com and you can check out his work there. The guy is just a terrific writer. Twelve fifty five got to get to a break news coming up top of the hour as we roll on till three This afternoon, Dan Carol for Bill Cunningham on seven hundred www dot com. Four hour twenty twenty three. I heard radio Music Festival

coming back to Las Vegan clock this afternoon. Joe Biden is out talking about what he calls biden Omics, the great economic record of Joseph Robin at Biden, and I guess that's going to be one of his the main planks and his campaign platform as he rolls on to twenty twenty four. Here to talk about that and much much more is my buddy from Power the Future, one of the great websites that I look at all the time, My buddy,

Dan Turner and Daniel Turner welcome again to seven hundred WLW. How's it going, Oh, it's great to be on your program. Thanks for having me. Do you find it interesting that Joe Biden is going to campaign on his powerful economic record. It's remarkable when you listen to whoever this this deputy Press

secretary is. I guess they're rolling her out. I've never seen her face and don't know the name, but she just blatantly said, well, this is you know, a record that we're proud of, because if you ask any Americans, they'll tell you how happy they are with the state of the economy. All the White House Press Corps, Yeah, they almost have scratched their head and said, well, every piece of pulling says the exact opposite.

The overwhelming majority of Americans are very concerned about their personal finances in the overall state of the economy. So I guess you can run on the record of Biden umics if you're Joe Biden, if you just lie about what it is. Well, you know, when we have a commander in chief who goes out there in a couple of days ago, talked about how he stole, he sold a lot of state secrets, and then today he said, it's it's clear as a bell Daniel Turner that Putin is obviously losing the war

in Iraq. You can't help but really want to go to the polls and vote for that guy again. Yeah, I mean, I think he's absolutely right that when I look at the war in Iraq stands a chance. So we're sending all those billions and billions of dollars, we've been sending it to the wrong country. We got to start. We gotta, you know, I wonder if I wonder if Ukraine will give us a rebate now so we can send all that stuff to Iraq where you know where they're just they need

all that that weaponry and money. It's just insanity on a regular basis. And it's frustrating because if you do ask the average American and you ask about their state of finances, and they know what it costs to fill up their gas tank and how much food costs. And yes, prices have come down, I'm not ignoring that, and that's great. They have come down,

but they are still considerably higher than where they were two years ago. If you ask average America those questions, they're so frustrated and just disappointed with things, things being expensive when they don't have to be. And that's why this administration has really struggled to explain inflation. They've been blamed inflation on everything from corporate greed, to the COVID pandemic, to supply chain issues, to Putin's

invasion of Ukraine. They will not admit that inflation is driven by their own disastrous monetary policies and their war on fossil fuels. Yeah, and I think that's an important thing that you just said, that things are the way they are and they don't have to be this way, and there's just so many reasons why we can't have nice things. And you know, I don't know about you. I don't I've never asked you where you're from. Are you from the New York somewhere? In that I do detect a little bit of

an accent there. Oh. Yes, born and raised in New York City, and my family is still all here. But I haven't lived in New York since I graduated high school in nineteen ninety two, so I am now a proud Virginia country boy. Have you ever felt threatened though, by wood fired pizza stoves in New York City? Have you ever felt felt that somehow that was endangering your your life or your ability to breathe? Cleaning? Why

do you think I left? I mean, it was absolutely horrifying to know that in the city of eight and a half million people, there are one hundred and forty Yeah, there are one hundred and forty wood fired pizza oven And I'm actually in New York right now visiting my parents, and it's remarkable to see the overwhelming state of decline of this city. It does make me very sad, and even though I don't live here anymore, I will always

consider myself in New Yorker. But you look at the comfort level of lawlessness that this city has embraced, that you can walk into a store and just steal anything you want and walk out. The carjacking, the pushing people in front of the subway. You look at the overwhelming send the just defecating on the on the street, and the homelessness and shooting up heroin on the street. All of that is fine. But this is where the mayor is focusing

his attention on pizzeria ovens. And it's that level of disdain for what your citizens feel. It's that level of aloofness that you can clutch your pearls and say, I'm so worried about climate change. We need to go after the pizza ovens where the irregular New Yorkers are afraid to walk down the street. But the mayor doesn't have to worry about walking down the street. He has drivers so he can he can afford the luxury of the climate change. And

climate change is a luxury cause. It is the cause of rich elite predominantly white. Um, but it is the greatest first world cause going. Most people have other issues by their mind. Well, how does someone get to that point where thinking that, uh, Mom and pop pizzerias that use that burn wood to cook their pizza with are somehow going to be able to afford

at a minimum twenty grand to install an air filtration system. And when you talk about the maintenance and the upkeep, and that bill is going to go even higher. How many of these these small shops will be driven out of business by this notion. So it's perfectly fine for him to go around with

as big a carbon footprint as he wants. But yet his administration, his EPA there the New York City Department of Environmental Production is getting ready to hammer these small businesses and saying you have to comply or you can't sell pizza and sorry about your luck. Yeah, And I hate to sound like such a cynic, because we all know that big government would never collude with big business

for pernicious reasons. Right, but if you go back and look at the COVID nonsense, big businesses did get exemptions what's from the government to stay open? And so if you owned a private hardware store, you were shut down because of the pandemic, But if you were home depot, you're lobbyists ensure that you were allowed to stay open. And everyone skis in their head and said, well, what's the difference and the differences? We're big and powerful

and we have lobbyists, and you don't. I hate to think that big Pizza would do this with big government and say, how can we put these guys? Who's our number one competition? If we're a major industrial pizzeria in New York City? The mom and pop shops which New York has hundreds of thousands of them, because that's where you get your good pa thousands of them, but that's where you get good pizza. How do I get rid of

all of those stores? Maybe I've tried to get regulations passed under the guise of COVID or under the guise of climate change that will put them all out of business. Isn't it terrible that that's where my mind is going? But this is not about climate change. Nothing about climate change is about climate change.

It's always about money, and it's all is about power. So why would you target pizzeria's There's got to be a reason why, and that's where my money is going, that this is a plan to get rid of competition. Well, and I'm reading I'm reading an article right here, and the headline it's from Popular Mechanics, is that giant wind turbines keep mysteriously falling over

And then they talk about how this shouldn't be happening. And you've got wind turbines from Oklahoma to Sweden to Colorado, in Germany and all over the place. And I'm looking at a video right now where a big chunk of wind turbine blade goes flying into the air. These things are the very definition of unreliability. Yet we're supposed to look at these things and talk about this is the future. Wind and sun is going to power us into a glorious future.

Yeah, And the green cultists will tell you that the wind and the sun are free, and therefore this technology is free, and the wind and the sun are forever, and therefore these are renewable technologies. And that's just that's insulting your intelligence, and that's just playing fast and loose with the truth. The fact of the matter is that these products don't work, and they don't work with the reliability and the affordability that we need to maintain our current

lifestyle, and that's the problem that we're having. There was an article that just came out yesterday from the National Energy at whatever that said that sixty six percent of American households or at risk the summer for experiencing a blackout because of

the unreliability of the grid. Why. Because we're taking reliable, fossil fault fuels out of the equation and we're replacing them with the wind and solar, which takes years to build, which take years to come online, and even when they are online, they're really offline because they only work about fifteen percent of the time. So if you are comfortable with being one of those sixty six percent of the households that will have a blockout, that's what it means

to go green. This is not free. This is the actual trade off. Sixty six percent, and that numbers up from I think last year. I remember reading about that and I think it was fifty four or fifty five percent. So we really aren't making progress in that area. And I'm looking at an article that's on Power of the Future right now, and Ford is laying off thirty eight hundred people and workforce. They expect to lose three billion

dollars this year. Looking at electric vehicle companies that are going bankrupt right and left, there has been at least a dozen or more electric vehicle companies that have had us. Imagine that they get all this money from the United States government and all these subsidies from the government to do their business. And even with that, you've got electric vehicle companies that are going belly up all over the place. Yeah, you can't force markets faster than the markets will allow.

You can force products online, and you can try to bribe customers and you can mandate that they take it, but that does not mean the product itself is going to survive. And that's the problem with what's happening in the EV market and with wind and solar as well. Government is deciding that this is what we're doing and you have to do it whether you like it or not. When it comes to evs, they're giving you huge tax credits.

When it comes to evs, they're giving the company's enormous subsidies to push this type of manufacturing. But you can't force markets no matter how hard you try. Ask the Soviet Union and and so we're going to experience the hardware. There's gonna be a lot of hardships when this catches up to reality, because it will catch up, right, we can't float this industry in perpetuity. Eventually the siphon will get turned off and this industry will absolutely go belly up

because we've seen it before. Yeah, And I was on the radio yesterday and the day before I had heard a story about a brand new start up here in Ohio company that's going to recycle batteries from cars, the electric car batteries, going to recycle those, and I thought to myself, I wonder if they're getting a government subsidy, And sure enough, I looked it up, and about half of the startup costs for building that factory is coming from

the taxpayers of the United States. And so the subsidies. You get a subsidy to buy the car, you get a subsidy to make the car, you get a subsidy for this that, for plugging it in, you get a subsidy for everything else. And in the end it doesn't work. And to me, that is just par for the course when it comes to government

deciding to pick the winners and the losers. Absolutely. And that's why when people say this administration and these policies will be the end of America, it won't be the end of America. Will continue as a country, but we're going to look a lot more like France. And I don't want to be France, right, I don't want that sort of European quasi socialist big government

where you pay seventy percent of your income in taxes. And and sure they brag about how healthcare is free, and this is free, but any entrepreneur in France tries to get the heck out of France and they come to America. And if they don't come to America, where else are they going to go. They used to go to Hong Kong, but we gave that back to the communists. So there aren't a lot of places left in the world for those class of people to live. There's a reason why Elon musk who

is South African, he didn't stay in South Africa. And it's not because South Africans are not as smart. It's not because they're not as creative. They're not as free, and he had to go to a place that was free to make all of these things that we talk about Tesla, SpaceX, the Loop, all of these genius ideas he has. If America is no longer that country, then then I don't know what will happen next. Let's start a plot of land. We can go and start our own country,

because I know I'd be there soon as possible. Who's gonna win that glue? Who's gonna win that cagemac between Elon Musk and I guess Zuckerberg. Apparently they're going to tee it up and I guess have an FCC match against each other. Who's gonna wind up winning that? I saw some video today where they're both apparently in training now to go ahead and have at each other. Are you gonna put your money behind on that one? I gotta put my

money behind weight because neither of them are really trained fighters. But Elon seems to be bigger and heavier, and I'm pretty sure Mark Zugerberg looked like he's about five six and a buck fifty, So I'm gonna go with Elon just because I think Elon's around six two and probably two twenty five, So I'm gonna go Elon. It's all, well, we didn't neither want of us have a dog in that fight. But it'll be interesting that now, that would be must CTV. If if those guys tee it up in the cage,

that'll be that'll be terrific, Daniel Turner. If people want to find out more about you, where can they go how or the feature dot com. It is always as great to be on your program. Thanks Daniel Turner, thanks for being on and we we'll talk again soon, my friend. I really appreciate it, all right, all right, Daniel Turner, A power of the future, one of the great websites that I look at all the time. Check it out for yourself. Coming up on news here at

the bottom of the hour. I'll tell you what. Between twelve thirty and one, I'm sorry, make that one thirty and two, we don't have any guests, so you want to pick up the phone. Five one three, seven four nine, seven thousand, one eight hundred the Big One, Dan Carroll for Bill Cunningham on seven hundred WLW Liberals Sham phone lines are open right now. Five one three, seven four nine, seven thousand and one, eight hundred the Big One. Earlier today, the Commander in Chief,

Joe Biden, said that Putin was clearly losing the war in Iraq. The other day he said something that I wonder why hasn't gotten more coverage? And you know, we all know that Joe Biden tries to be the funny man. Joe Biden's always making jokes. Tom, Did you all think I'm joking? Don't you? How many times have we heard Joe Biden say that? Well, here's what he said at a meeting with the Prime Minister of India just a couple of days ago. Hit that cut number two? Do we

have cut number two? I was just thinking, anyway, I started off without you, and I sold a lot of state secrets and a lot of very important things that we shared. I sold a lot of state secrets and a lot of very important things that we shared. I sold a lot of state secret Is that the kind of joke at a guy who is under suspicion of having sold out American foreign policy should be making? And to my way of thinking, this suspicion has been around since we've known about the Hunter Biden

laptop. The official White House transcript of this event reads, I was just thinking the anyway, I started off without you. I sold a lot of state secrets and a lot of very important things that we shared laughter in commas, and then he says, all kidding aside, and he goes on to

talk about whatever they were talking about. So is that the kind of joke that that Joe Biden should be making right now when you have all this stuff that's going on with him and his son and another What's App a text message has come out related to Joe Biden, and the New York Post has a story. First son Hunter Hunter Biden was at Joe's Wilmington, Delaware home the same day he used the future president as leverage in a text message into a

Chinese business associate to close the deal. Photos found on his abandoned laptop show and other evidence suggests the elder Biden was around as well. They talk about the picture of Hunter Biden there in the in the corvette. Hours earlier, Hunterson a threatening What'sapp message to translator Raymond Zal of the CEFC whatever that is

some Chinese company. He says, tell the director, I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight, and Zee, if I get a call or a text from anyone involved in us other than you, Zang or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows, and my ability to forever hold a grudge, that you will regret not following my direction. So that's the original one that came out, and now there's another one

that came out just yesterday. House Republicans released another what'sapp message on Tuesday written by Hunter Biden on a business deal with the Chinese energy company, and the message is this. The message was Guan to Guanan Dong of CEFC China Energy associate, who used the nickname Kevin, which I guess is a lot easier to say than gone when Dong and Hunter Biden writes this, I'm tired of this, Kevin. I can make five million dollars salary from any law firm

in America. And if you run a law firm, would you, Hunter, would you hire Hunter Biden as an associate at a salary of five million dollars? Just curious. I know there's a lot of lawyers who listen to this show, but Hunter Bien, he can make five million dollars, a five million dollars salary from any law firm in America. And then he goes on to write this. If you think it's about money, it's not. The Bidens are the best at doing exactly what the chairman wants from this partnership.

Please let's not quibble over peanuts. The next day, one of Hunter Shell companies was given a ten million I'm sorry, a ten thousand dollars. This says ten thousand, but I think it's a ten million dollar payment that went to one of the Biden Shell companies. And I was thinking to myself, you know, I haven't really I haven't done a lot of international business. I haven't done a lot of business, you know, with overseas partners.

In fact, I haven't really done any I haven't done any business at all out of the United States. So maybe I'm stupid, maybe I'm naive, Maybe I don't know the way that regular business has done, because that's what we're told that this is just Look, it's just he was just Hunter Biden, just doing his own business, didn't have anything to do with Joe Biden, just just regular everyday business dealings between Hunter Biden the business man and

his associates and China. And maybe you've done some international business, and if you have, maybe you can tell me Is this the normal way of doing business if there's a question about payment or moneies that need to change hands. Is this the typical language that you use when, Hey, I can get five million dollars from any any law firm in America. When you talk about how the ten million dollars needs to be invested annually into the joint venture,

I'm tired of this. The bidens are the best at doing exactly what the chairman wants from this partnership. Is that the kind of language you use when you're dealing with an international business partner? Is it to talk about how don't overlook my ability to hold a grudge or what the man sitting next to me right now is capable of doing. Is if there's a dispute over an issue,

whether it's payment or anything else. I'm just curious if that's the typical way that individuals talk to each other when they're doing international business at this level. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand hundred. The bigger one, John is on seventy five north heading somewhere, and John wants to chime in. John seven hundred WLW what's going on? So I've long wondered if the national media is going to make Joe Biden campaign and

if he does, will they cover it? Because if they do both of those, you're gonna not eat any more material for your show, because well, I am, I've got Fox News on to the left of me right now, and Joe Biden just made a campaign speech where apparently I didn't I'm the sound is down, so I didn't get to hear exactly what he said.

But apparently he's out there campaigning right now talking about the great Biden economy, and so I guess we're going to hear how wonderful things are under the Biden economy, and that's one of the main reasons why you should re elect him to four more years in office. And then my second question is will he debate or will he especially if Trump gets the nomination on the GOP side, Well, he's come up with a reason as to why he cannot debate.

Well, they've already made it clear that he's not going to debate during the primary, although there is some talk now about how did you see those pictures over the weekend of JFK Jr. Bumping around with no shirt on and he's doing some pushups and working out with his personal trainer and all that. I mean, the guys sixty nine years old and he's in terrific shape. And so there's some there was some talk that there may be a matchup between

those two, although I sort of doubt it. My understanding is is that income at presidents typically don't get involved in primary debates, and and look if that, if that's the standard, that I'm fine with that. But when it comes to debating on a stage with Trump, Trump can take no prisoners and he's got it. He's got a hammer. Biden with a series of a very quick questions, it's going to be tough. So will they Will they take that risk and put him on a stage? I have no idea,

but it'll be interesting to see it if it does happen. If you were on team Biden and you were the campaign manager, would you put him out on the trail and would you put him in front of a debate? You know what? You know what his last team didn't. His last team knew that he was incapable of doing something like that, and that's why they kept him in debate. You know. Oh yeah, well we have the Wuhan going on. Okay, Well, that's fine. But everything come up

to this time around too. Yeah, and it's gonna be well, Trump can't win presidency because he's indicted. There's gonna be an excuse as to why he cannot get out there and fulfill a campaign, uh you know, you know, or campaign or debate of it or anything like that. There's there's gonna have to be well, we'll see what. We'll see what happens. We haven't crossed that bridge yet, but if they do, I just hope there's some legitimate reporting that happens on it. And look, Biden said today

the Putin was clearly losing the war in Iraq. If that doesn't show you that he's slipping, I don't. I don't know what does. But John, thank you very much for the call. You'd be careful out there. Let's go to Mason and talk to Jim. Jim seven hundred ww yeah, Danna, thanks for taking my call. Um you cutting him, Hannity, Um, all the talk show guys. You guys do a great job of

bringing all this stuff out and the truth to the American people. And now we're here, we're starting to hear some investigations that are going somewhere with the Congress. But when are they ever going to close the deal? When are they gonna do what the Democrats do? Why doesn't the Republican Party find a Republican attorney general that will issue a special prosecutor thing on some of these things where where Biden did these deals at and go after him. I just don't

understand why it never closes a deal. The Republicans need a victory badly. Oh, Jim, you make a good point. And this is something I've talked about time and time again, is you've got these Republicans in office who It reminds me when John Bayner was the Speaker. I mean, he talked a good game, but never did anything to hold anyone accountable, probably because he was guilty of some of the things that he accused his Democrat colleagues of

being guilty of him. I think there's there's a lot of blame to go around, whether you're Republican or Democrat when you talk about what's going on in Washington, DC, and for too long now, the Republicans in Congress, Republicans, even when they have the power, they are too afraid of their own shadow, and they tuck tail and run at the first sign of pushback or criticism from the media or something that that may they think may harm them

in terms of getting votes. And on that score, I think that's where Trump really put the template out there for doing, for going with your gut, not being afraid to say what's on the top of your mind, not being afraid to point out what's wrong and what's right, and what's good and what's not good. And we have too many Republicans. Look, Jim Jordan

is great. All these hearings are terrific. And I'm reminded of the Durham when Durham testified on Capitol Hill last week and you had Matt Gates of Florida saying, why didn't you windict? How come there's no charges related to this. We had one mid level FBI guy who got a slap on the wrist, and he's he's already been welcome back to he was disbarred, he's already welcome back to the bar association. And Matt Gates said, you're part of

the problem. And so it's great to have all these hearings, but at some point, I'm with you, we need to see some action on this, and until that happens, I don't think any of us are going to be satisfied. We got time to get one more in here. Let's go to a Randy in Cincinnati. Randy seven hundred wlw Ahi, Dan, how you doing. I'm good, Randy, thanks for calling in. Hey, thank you for accepting that call off. Yeah. I think both parties of

both presidential candidates Trump find who are there are? They stay stupid and they scared people. And as a Democrat, I'm scared to Donald Trump is Yeah, he thinks he can temporarily suspend the constitution. Now see, you're wrong about that. You're reading from the Democrat talking points and the way that that story was spun on national media and what Trump was talking we got to get

to a break, Randy. But I'll thank you for calling him. But what what Trump was talking about was the way that things unfolded was a reflection of the notion that you can suspend the Constitution and you can go after a president, you can spy on a president, you can do all this stuff. You can fiddle around with with a with an election and not be held accountable. That's what he was talking about. And if you did more than just read the DNC talking points, and listen to what you hear on MSNBC

or CNN, then you might know that and understand it. It's one fifty four. We got to get to a break news coming up top of the hour, but I'm gonna be talking with an expert from the Heritage Foundation and E. J. N. Toni has written an excellent piece on Joe Biden's economic falsehoods. And the timing couldn't be better because Joe Biden is can't as

we speak, talking about the greatness of the Biden economy. And we'll get the complete breakdown on that as we march on till three o'clock this afternoon. Dan Carol for Bill Cunningham on seven hundred WLW number twenty nine. J. Greetle swings and lines at right center field in the gap. Nobody's gonna get it. Umber thirty seven Tyler Stephen over Bee pill out one by the rind

number sixteen dixends that home run nixons LL number six shot. He comes into the round third and the red fucking all the six Nati Reds play I'm the home of the Red. The Reds are coming and they are coming like wild five. Seven hundred w l W Landmark Church that I was bad of the

bowl, bad of the bowls the pole. You know, I've been watching with great interest the spin that comes out of this White House when they talk about Joe Biden and his economic policies, and he's hitting the campaign trail in

Chicago today talking about the greatness of the Biden economy. The White House spokesperson who was up there yesterday, who was a new one, and her name is Dalton, and she was talking about she's the Deputy Press Secretary, Olivia Dalton, and she was talking about how Joe Biden's economic policies are incredibly popular. As we Americans here here in fly Over Country begin to feel the impact of the Biden agenda, Well, isn't that just dandy here to talk about?

That is a guy who writes about the economy all the time. Ej Antoni is a research fellow with the Heritage Foundation and he is my guest this afternoon. And ej Antoni, welcome to seven hundred. Ww's great to talk to you, sir. How are you today, Oh, it's great to be here. Thank you for having me. Well, thanks for being here. You know you you wrote a piece a few days ago entitled The President of Economic Falsehoods. And now we hey are here from the White House that

Joe Biden is going to be extolling the virtues of biden Omics. And I ask myself, under under what criteria is this guy saying that he has an economy that's good enough to run run a campaign on for reelection the president of the United States? Can you lay out some of that for me? Uh no, No, I really can't. I don't know what economic record this president possibly has to run on that would justify his reelection. You know,

people are demonstrably poorer today than when he took office. Just look at the average American family for a second. Here. Prices have risen so much faster than wages that the average American family has essentially lost fifty six hundred dollars in annual pay. That's how much less they can buy today than when Biden took office, because inflation has risen so much faster than wages. But on top of that, interest rates have had to rise to try to combat that inflation.

And now that is increasing borrowing costs on everything from student loans to mortgages, from auto loans to credit cards, and that adds another sixteen hundred dollars on top of that. So the average family in America essentially feels like they're about seventy two hundred dollars poorer today then when Biden took office. I mean, that's just devastating. You have heard a lot of American families that's the

equivalent of like a month's pay. So the idea that somehow Biden's policies are popular, as I think it was the Deputy Press Secretary was saying, I would love to know among whom these policies are popular, besides maybe the political donor class and those different organizations through which Biden has been laundering money for years. Well, the one thing that Joe Biden loves to claim whenever he goes out and speaks is talking about the millions and millions of jobs, more than

any other president in history, that his administration has created. And I have always been of the opinion that people were already starting to return to work during the last months of the Trump administration after being shut down for the Wuhan virus, and more people started going back to work, and I really I still don't think that we're fully recovered from that yet as far as people going back

to work. But for him to sit there and take credit for all these people that were going to go back to work yesterday or not yesterday, but going to go back to work after the pandemic was over, and sit there and take credit for that is one of the biggest falsehoods that I can think of, because these people were going to go back to work anyway, and I think that was even slowed because of all the mail box money that was

coming Americans who essentially got paid for doing nothing and got lawed into that false sense of security that that government money was us going to keep rolling in with no end in sight. Well absolutely, and you know, the mental gymnastics here are just appalling. Quite frankly, none of this stuff actually helps the American people when you're just espousing this kind of rhetoric. At the end of

the day, it makes no sense to count as job creation. When you allow people to go back to work after you forcibly shut down their businesses and made it illegal for them to go out and earn a living. That's literally what we did. You can't call that job creation. I mean, if you really want to go down that rabbit hole, and this shows you how

little Biden's handlers have thought this issue through. If you really want to go down that rabbit hole, then Trump actually looks even better than Biden does, because in the recovery under Trump, the economy averaged one point for million new jobs a month. Again, this is according to Biden's logic here, but that compares to an average of only about five hundred thousand jobs in other words, about a third under Biden. And so the job growth, again using

growth loosely, has slowed under Biden, not increase. And furthermore, if you want to look at where the labor market was before the pandemic, we still haven't recovered to that pre pandemic trend. In fact, if we had a labor force participation rate, if we had an employment to population ratio that was similar to what we had before the pandemic, if we had that today,

we'd have an additional more than two million jobs. So this idea that somehow biden nomics has been a success, that it has somehow boosted the labor market, I mean, these things they may sound good, but they just don't stand up for the facts. And the government spending I think that we have seen has been at levels that I've never seen before, and we just keep dolling out billions and billions of dollars, and we pay a little lip

service to the to the debt. They cut this deal to keep the United States paying its bills and to not default, which I guess in the as you look at it can be spun as a good thing. But to say that we're on you know that as we look at it, we're on our way to thirty five trillion dollars in debt right now, rocketing towards forty trillion, and who knows how far it's going to go. Do you ever see a time when this is going to be dealt with in a serious manner?

Oh goodness, I don't think there's any chance that the people currently in charge have any intention of ever dealing with this in a serious manner, which is, unfortunately, unfortunately, because we are, we are hurdling fast to a point of no returning. I know that sounds hyperbolic, but oftentimes schederal finance is overly complicated, and it helps to think of this in terms of a

family budget instead of the federal budget. Imagine you are constantly spending more than you take in, and you are having to put that spending on a credit card. What happens over time as your credit card balance keeps growing, and not only that, but as you're not even able to afford the finance charges every month. That's what we're getting to with the federal budget. By the end of the year, it's very likely that interest on the national debt is

going to exceed medicare spending. We are eclipsing major categories here, We've already exceeded defense. This is a path to insolvency. As you look at this, are you able to find any positives at all from this Biden from this Joe Biden economy and the things that he's done. No, No, I'm not, I'm really not. Unfortunately, I can't think of a single policy that Biden has put into place that has in any way really helped things along. Now, he has done a tremendous amount to hurt, to damage the

economy. He has put a lot of weights around the necks of the American people in the American economy, but he just hasn't done anything that has helped. And it's such a shame because he had the benefit of hindsight, right, he was able to look back at Donald Trump and see everything Trump did that was good and everything Trump did that was bad. And trust me,

there was plenty of both. This is not a partisan point here, right, This is about policymatics, and the fact is that Biden was able to see the things that Trump did that worked, the things that Trump did that didn't work, and Biden, for some reason has chosen to double down on the failures and ignore the successes. And that's how we've wound up in the

situation which we are in today. It stands in stark contrast to what Bill Clinton, another Democrat, did in the nineteen nineties, where he decided to rebuff a lot of these failed policies that Biden is currently implementing and instead shifted towards policies that included balancing the budget and having a surplus not a deficit. Earlier this year, the Biden administration kept ducking and dodging and refused to acknowledge

what had been the longtime definition of a recession. And you could and I remember I went and I looked it up and it was what was it at three quarters in a row of economic zero growth or negative growth? And now you've got a piece out that the Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, by her own definition, we are back in a recession. How do you manage to spend that one? Oh dear goodness, Well, don't forget. These are the same people who have basically made it a habit, if you will, of

redefining words. They look at what they do with redefining what a woman is. I mean, it shouldn't come as a surprise to us that they want to redefine what a recession is. And it's amazing how now that their redefinition has come back to bite them, they've suddenly abandoned it. It's so shockingly like George Orwell's nineteen eighty four where the giant government Oceania, right, it's

at war with East Asia, and then it's at war with Eurasia. And every time it switches, they tell the people, no, no, no, you're remembering, right, it has always been this way. We're at war with East Asia. We've always been at war with East Asia. And

that's essentially what we're doing here today. And once again I go back to the fact that playing these Orwellian word games doesn't actually help the American people in this very difficult time, and instead, what it does is it belittles their plight by essentially implying, if not outright stating, that your concerns mean less to us than scoring political points. It's two nineteen and we're talking with EJ.

Antony of the Heritage Foundation talking about the economy. Joe Biden is out, he's out campaigning on the great biden Omics that we're all experiencing, and the White House is saying that the American people are starting to feel the impact of the Biden economy. Out of my way of thinking, I've been feeling

this impact for a long time. And when I go every time I go to the grocery store, every time I fill up one of my vehicles, every time I look at my utility bills, every time, you know, I write a check and pay for my telephone or pay for my internet service or whatever else it may be. Is that the kind of impact that they're talking about, that we're supposed to be feeling that is so popular with the American people, you know, I quite frankly, I have no idea what

they're talking about at this point anymore, because everything they're saying just slides in the face of the data and it's not even a SI. These are my numbers. This is the administration's own data. We're talking about here, real weekly earnings in other words, what your weekly earnings, your weekly pay can actually buy you. That has dropped five point one percent under Joe Biden. Find me someone who's happy about working more and being able to afford less.

I just can't. So maybe they have some magic focus group that we just don't know about. Quite frankly, and I don't need to sound flippant here, because these are very serious issues, right. The fact that we have had anemic economic growth of only one percent over the last five quarters, I mean that's really devastating because it is economic growth that drives higher standards of living, that drives innovation, that drives life saving technologies and things that genuinely make

people's lives better. And these things are essentially all stagnating under this president. So again, I don't need to sound flippant. I know these are serious issues, but the ridiculousness of the statement out of this White House a beggar belief and frankly, just deserve mockery. So on the other hand, you're gonna we're gonna have Trump out there and Trump is out. He's campaigning hard as well, and he talks about the economic policies that he had that he

claims were so good for this country. And when you talk about the kind of things that Trump is talking about, having a bringing back energy not just independence, but energy dominance, when you talk about reinvigorating the manufacturing sector, when you talk about all these things he wants to do, making real cuts

and government spending. Can that get this ship turned around eventually? If we ad here, not just talk about doing stuff like that, but actually implement stuff like that and adhere to those kind of policies, That's exactly the direction that we need to go. Now. The problem is that heading in the

opposite direction today. The other problem is that you do get to a point as a nation state where your momentum is just going to take you over the falls, and no matter how hard you turn, you try to turn that big old battleship around, it's going over the falls. Right now, we

don't know where exactly that point of no return is. It has proven different for different countries around the world at different periods of time, so it should be particularly scary for us that we don't know where that again, that point of no return is so we need to as quick as we can again turn things around and start moving away from it. Again, looking at it in terms of family finance, you can't perpetually spend more than you take in and

expect that that is going to end. Well, when we reach that point of no return? Will we know it when we get there? You know? If you again, if you go back to history, there's no indication

that nations ever realized when they have hit that point of no return. In fact, very often, as they're going over the falls, if you will, they seem to think that things are improving, right because initially as that final descent, if you will, as that begins, the government is very often able to paper over things and make things seem as if they're actually improving, and then it very very quickly spirals out of control. That's precisely what

we saw in Greece, for example, during the global financial crisis. That's also what we've seen with in numerous South American countries at different times in the last one hundred and fifty years. It's what we saw in the Weimar Republic in Germany in the nineteen thirties. All right, Well, e j Antony, We're gonna have to leave it there. Our time has gone, but

I want to thank you for your time this afternoon. I always love having people on from the Heritage Foundation, and I can't thank you enough for being here this afternoon, and I certainly hope we get a chance to do it on down the road. Well, thank you for having me. I really

appreciate it and be pleasure to join you again, all right. D j an Tony from the Heritage Foundation talking about Biden nomics where we have decades high inflation, gas prices that are totally out of reach, lower paychecks, less money for you to spend, and just uncertainty that we have not experienced in

America in a long, long time. Time for a break news coming up bottom of the hour, Dan Carroll for Bill Cunningham, seven hundred WLW, Zeroes Carpet and Erduck Cleaning's Hottest Summer Sale is now going on fifty back on the Big one seven hundred w LW Dan Carroll for Bill Cunningham and phone lines are open five one three, seven, four nine seven. Thought we actually took a couple of callers earlier in the show. Five one three, seven, four nine seven, eight hundred, the big one. Those are the

numbers the call. An increasing number of registered voters are anxious about President Joe Biden's mental and physical fitness to be president. Results of a new NBC survey reveal two thirds sixty eight percent sixty eight percent of US registered voters are concerned that Biden doesn't have the necessary mental and physical health to run the country. That's according to a national poll that was conducted to June sixteenth to twentieth.

That represents a seventeen seventeen point increase from three years earlier. In October twenty twenty, a poll conducted just a month before the election, fifty one percent of registered voters were at least moderately concerned about Biden's capability to run the country, including thirty eight percent who said it was a major concern. Biden would be eighty six at the end of his second term if re elected. He has regularly spurred concerns in the media about his state of health after he fell

over on the bicycle. Their course was that video that went viral when that happened. But beyond the physical fitness, there's also been concerns about his mental health. While delivering a speech to introduce Supreme Court Justice Katangi Brown Jackson, Biden attempted to define the America, or to find America in one word. In fact, I think, Dave, do we have that cut? Let's

hear, let's all remember this together. When Joe Biden said America is a nation that can be defined in a single word, I was, and we And just today we heard Joe Biden say that Vladimir Putin was clearly losing the war in I Rock. So this is starting to become an issue as they talk about how great the economy is under Joseph Robin and Biden. The American people, according to the White House, just starting to feel the impact of the Biden economy. And I want to thank e j Antony from the Heritage

Foundation for being on with me to talk about that. You know, I was a little upset yesterday when I saw this story about the city council here in Cincinnati decided to vote unanimously to make Cincinnati a sanctuary for gender affirming care. So that means that the city of Cincinnati wants to welcome kids who want to have hormone blockers, who want to have cross gender therapies. We don't do the surgeries here in the state of Ohio, but I imagine if we

were able to do that, we would do that as well. And that comes right on the heels of universal income, as Cincinnati approved universal income, giving monthly payments to some who are to some people who are low income. And this is a notion that this universal income notion has been around for quite some time. There have been another of other cities and states that have adopted

something similar. So I was getting ready for the show today and I came across the headline that read this defying the state, Kansas City would be a sanctuary for people seeking gender affirming healthcare. And I thought to myself, I wonder if there's other cities across the country that are doing the same thing, just like we did here in Cincinnati. And so I looked it up, and here's just some of what I found when it comes to cities and this

notion about gender affirming care. Let's see, of course we had the city of we had Kansas City, Missouri. Here's another one. Wisconsin County considers sanctuary status for transgender kids. West Hollywood City Council adopts resolution declaring the city of West Hollywood a sanctuary city for transgenders. Rally to make Tallahassee a LGBTQ sanctuary city. Defendini. I guess that's a council member in Ithaca, New

York, wants the city to become a sanctuary. Washington, Minnesota becomes transgender and abortion sanctuaries. Maybe we can add abortion to it here in Cincinnati before too long, New Jersey governor declares state a safe haven for gender affirming care. California becomes first sanctuary state for transgender youth seeking medical care. And the problem is, at least to my way of thinking, that this just shows how utterly uninformed the members of council are when it comes to this issue.

This isn't doing anything wonderful or good or uplifting. It is virtue signaling at its worst, the worst kind. If you ask me, virtue signaling, it's flavor of the month. It's not leadership. It's pandering for votes. It's not leadership. This is not leadership. And when you vote for members of city council or members of any government body, these are the kind of

things that you should look for. Is this something that is in the best interest of the City of Cincinnati to pass a resolution like this that may or may not pass muster if the if the state winds up banning these types of procedures and medical experimentation on kids. It's not really what's doing what's best for the city. It's promoting an agenda, a personal agenda or a group agenda that I don't recall them running on. And maybe I'm wrong about that,

but I don't care. This is the kind of stuff again, it's not leadership, it's virtue signaling. It's pandering, and it's the worst kind there is. Let's go to Mason and talk to Ken. Ken seven hundred ww what's up, Hey, Danna, how are you today? Good? Thanks for calling in. Well. I hope your listeners are beginning to understand whenever their lips are moving their line. We have clear examples today. Abiden is trying to tell what the economy is doing, how good it is, and

your guests dispelled every single thing they said. Mary Garland claimed that the US attorney wife hit complete autonomy on the hundred Biden case. We now that's a complete lie. We've been listening to a head of Homeland Security. Myocis for a year and a half lie about the state of the border. People need to understand it's one hundred percent propaganda. They're doing it on purpose. They know exactly what they're saying. Dans. Today you talked about the economy.

They know the state of the economy, and they continue to lie about it no matter what. It's like this on everything they do. Everything they're saying is a lot ken. The White House says that the American people that the Biden omics is exceedingly popular, and that now that you and I are just beginning to feel the impacts of the Biden economy, that we are going to be full steam ahead with seeing to it that this man gets another four years

in office. Well, Dan, every time I go to the grocery store, it's cost to me about forty percent more for items i'd buy I've been buying for twenty years, just since your guest talked about the average loss of incomes around fifty eight hundred dollars for most American families. You know, I'm seeing that. I mean, that's the truth. See, you don't see,

you don't understand. Your wages have gone up though under Joe Biden, you are bringing more money now than you've ever brought home before because of these wonderful economic policies. Come on, Ken, you don't understand that you're better, You're better than that. That's exactly what they want us to believe, you know. And unfortunately, Dan, millions of people are buying this craft

book glynd and Sinker. I was talking to an elderly man who's a Democrat, and it was so obvious he really didn't understand what was going on. I said, sir, with all respect, these are not Democrats that you were fifty years ago. They don't believe in the Democratic party that you grew up in. This is not a democratic party. These the Marxist Party. Mark Levin has been calling it to Mark this party for five years now, you know, and it's all coming to fruition. If people need to understand

this. You know, he talked about the buymar comedy economy in Germany, how Greece collapsed, you know, in that potential can happen in America if it's not stopped soon. Well he at least he did say that that when we get there, we'll recognize it. So I guess that's something. But if this thing doesn't, you got to start at least to slow it down. At least slow it down. But the foot's been on the accelerator for

the last two plus years and I don't see anything good coming up. I don't see anything changing either, you know, as long as what we have you know, Dan, right now, we need to make sure that we're we're checking the voting process as as close as we can, and we've got to get involved in do exactly what the Democrats have been doing with voting. That's the most important thing. We don't need to worry about campaigns and anything

else. We just need to know that the vote is securious we can get it becase problems will be staring us right in the face, Dan, if we don't change something there. Well, Ken, I like to think that the vote here in Ohio is pretty secure, but in other places around the country, I'm not so sure about that. Ken, always great talking to you. Thanks for the call. All right, Dan, have a great

one. All right, there you go, Ken and Mason, And just to follow up if you missed any of that conversation, here's what my guest ej Antony wrote about Joe Biden. The job's numbers that mister Biden has been breaking about show strong evidence of double counting, such as when a person has to get a second or a third job just to make ends meet. Raise your hand, how many listening to this show right now have that second or

third job. Not because you're buying a lake house, not because you need to get some work done on the boat, not because that you're planning that bucket list vacation to Scotland. No, because you need to make ends meet, and that has goosed up the job numbers, but it doesn't mean that more people are employed. The second big fabrication is mister Biden's oft repeated line about reducing the deficit. After massive government spending in the name of COVID nineteen

relief I call it Wuhan relief. In twenty twenty, the deficit balloon to three point three trillion dollars. But with that expiration of trillions in one time spending, the deficit in twenty twenty one was set to fall dramatically. In fact, if mister Biden lets spending fall back to pre pandemic levels, there

would have been a surplus. Instead, Biden pushed for trillions in new spending and the deficits that came in at two point six trillion for twenty twenty one and to fight and despite federal tax receipts a four point seven trillion in twenty twenty two, thirty nine percent higher than pre pandemic levels, Biden added spending to help fuel a one point four trillion dollar deficit last year. So all he had to do was just let it go back to pre pandemic levels,

and he could have claimed an even better economy than he's claiming. Now, let's go ahead and get to a break, and we'll do that, and we'll come back to wrap things up as we get ready for Eddie and Rocky at three o'clock on the Home of the Rents seven hundred WLW. He's there on the air on the stream on the podcast. I'm talking g O O D Baby with Breen's charm and a voice bestown to him during a sacred service on Mount Olympus. It's true.

So we're looking forward to that. Of course, the dj came out with the report talking about the death of Jeffrey Epstein, and I don't know how many years after the fact is this. This has been around. His death has been around for a long time, and now that the Inspector General at the DOJ is just coming out with a report on this, and my

buddy Daniel Greenfield rights in Front Page magazine. How did Jeffrey Epstein, who'd already tried to commit suicide and was supposed to be on suicide watch, manage to kill himself in one of the most secured attention facilities in the country, much like how he was he able to evade sex offender registration in three states. It's a mystery wrapped in an enigma and locked up in a black box. The DOJ report on Epstein's death blames an inexplicable series of airs. No

one at the facility did what they were supposed to do. It's the bottom line. Not only did they not monitor Epstein, but they gave him plenty of bed linens with which to hang himself. For some mysterious reason, Epstein was inappropriately taken off suicide watch. The guards lied about conducting rounds they didn't conduct for some reason, he wasn't housed with a cell mate. And then

there was the malfunction of the video recording system. Recorded evidence recorded video evidence for August ninth and tenth in the area where Epstein was housed was only available from one prison security camera due to a malfunction of the digital video recorder system

that occurred on July twenty nineteen. Nothing suspicious here. The combination of these and other failures led to Epstein being unmonitored and alone in his cell, which contained an excessive amount of bed linens, for approximately ten forty pm on August nine, until he was discovered hanged in his locked cell the following day. Maybe we need linen control. So nothing suspicious there in the death of Jeffrey

Epstein. Thanks to a report from the dj and according to Trent Rosecrans, He's reporting that the Reds may have lost one hundred Green until August now, and he's got that hit problem. Cincinnati's unlike to put unlikely to put an official timeline on Green's return, so we'll see what happens with that and so

much more. But it's time for me to get out of here. I get to come back tomorrow night nine to midnight for what I like to call the Midweek Races, and that'll be the Thursday night edition, So I hope you can join me then from nine to midnight. Until then, thanks for listening. Have a great day.

broad daylight. Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa feetg almost one month ago, after three children and an adult man were injured by gunfire from a car driving along Mcmcinavenue near the Grant Park playground. Responding officers had dozens of evidence markers in the street with lots of promises to find those responsible. A sixteen year old has now been arrested for that shooting. The arrest happened a week ago.
