55KRC Thursday Show - AFP, Sen Rand Paul, Jay Ratliff

the program today. Donald Neo Americans for Prosperity. We talk about supporting Trump's tax cuts for Ohio families, and of course Trump's tax cuts set to expire, and if they do expire, I read some fun facts the other day. Million plus people are going to lose their jobs and six jillion dollars or something like that worth our billion or something I don't know taken out of the economy. Well,

that's your confiscatory tax policy. The more money you take away from US government, the less money we have to spend on what we think we want to buy, making our own choices with the money we earned from our labor. And you know, just think about it. In the flip of a switch. You know, the Trump tax cuts hadn't built in expiration date. That always just frankly in the five o'clock ur pisses me off. Why don't they ever

do anything permanent. Well, that's because they got what they want to have a fight down the road, a new administration will be in place. You know, they think the one side who doesn't want the tax cuts thinks they're going to be empower when they expire, and of course they will take more of your money from you. Random

and arbitrary as it may seem, it is. I mean, how do you arrive at any given percentage of what you're taking from someone thirty six percent or whatever tax rate you find your fault you fell in based upon I don't know, somebody behind the scenes deciding that at X number of dollars earned we are going to start taking a certain random, seemingly random percentage from the dollars

earned thereafter. So your tax the one rate to x amount, and then over x amount your tax at a different rate higher, and then over another amount they take even more money. Where do they come up with these numbers? You know, the sausage making that goes on behind the scenes. I have never laid witness to. But in the final analysis, when you sta what comes out, it's like, Okay, why and why can't they just take a flat percentage from all businesses and individuals, which I'm in favor of, just

fifteen percent. Period into story. Get rid of the entire tax code. No more ride offs, no more incentives, no more dangling carrots as I like to call them, from the federal government to do something throughout the year so that you can lower your tax exposure. What a manipulative evil force. That tax code is an entire industry is built around people and not understanding it. I mean, think about accountants. I don't have a go to accountants. I

mean you provide a valuable function in a world. We have a tax code that's what fifteen thousand pages long or something like that. Who in the hell has the time to go through all that and understand it. Well, vast majority of that doesn't apply to regular everyday Americans like you and me. All those Daniel and Carrerotts have incentive, I mean, with the exception of the child tax credit you know, are built in therefore to manipulate business and industry.

So anyhow, sorry, we didn't go down that road, but started with Donovan and Eil Americans for Prosperity at seven o five. Senator Ran Paul returns at seven thirty got a topic, a whole bunch of topics talk about with Senator doctor James Thorpe gonna be on the program at eight oh five talk about the book Sacrifice, which documents the the true story of what is described as a very respected doctor of maternal fetal medicine who in twenty twenty found his profession and again, in their words, lost

its mind and soul. It's colleagues argue around him to take take bribe money. Thorpe one of the few obi Jins to bear witness and broadcast the multiple pregnancy complications including miscarriage, stillbirths, and many others resulting from Yes, the COVID nineteen shot. He stood in defiance against others in his medical profession sacrifice. I wonder if he lost his license at some point it was threatened with his license, losing his license probably, And it is Thursday, so we

could hear from my heart media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe. Yeah. As to Kamala Harris's statement about being patient, one person observes what she's trying to express here with this confusing word salad is that it's super important for LA residents to be patient with the bungling incompetence and appalling stupidity of California Democrats and not to link the ongoing disaster to their woke civilization destroying policies deviney from American greatness.

I thought that one summed it up as well as any of the other criticisms Kamala Harris got online anyway, I got an Israeli jimas ces fire. Biden said the it's in phases while Trump and Biden wrestle over who gets credit for it. And I don't think anyone can deny that the election of Donald Trump probably had a lot to do with this. I know that's what the

Israeli Times concluded. Accordingly, reporting from The Israeli Times, a tense weekend meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin not in Yahoo and incoming Mid East Envoy Steve Whitcoff incoming Mideast that'd be one of Trump's guys, led to a breakthrough in the hostage negotiations, with the top aid to US President elect Donald Trump doing more to sway the premier in a single sit down than outgoing President Joe Biden did

all year. According to two Arab officials speaking with the Times of Israel on Tuesday, well, okay, they've at least concluded Donald Trump was largely responsible for this, But regardless of who's taking credit, it's in phases. As I mentioned Biden to, the first phase will last six weeks and includes a full and complete cease fire withdrawal of Israeli forces from all the populated areas of Gaza, and the release of a number of hostages held by Hamas, including

women and elderly and the wounded. They're doing it in order of most important to release first, and that group is first. So I'm proud to say Americans will be part of that hostage release in phase one as well, and the Vice president, and I cannot wait to welcome them home after. Of course, they're out of office now.

In exchanges are released hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, Biden said, and Palestinians can return to their neighborhoods in all areas of Gaza, and a surge of humanitarian assistance into Gaza will begin. He said. During the next six weeks, Israel will negotiate the necessary arrangements to get Phase two. Uh huh, that'd be profits Phase three. Phase two. You know, I knew you had that on by handy Joe. You read the news anyway, Phase two, which is described as a

permanent end of the war, he said. Let me say this again, a permanent end of the war. In case you didn't hear him the first time, he said, there's a number of details the negotiating to move from Phase one to Phase two, but the plan says if negotiations take longer than six weeks, the ceasefire will continue as long as the negotiations continue, So any side can walk

away from this and the fighting will begin immediately. I think we all need to keep that in the back of our mind because that is a very, very very possible scenario. Senior Hamas official confirmed to in reporting on this one Fox News that the deal was reached as well. There was some rumors around that they hadn't agreed to it, but it's widely circulated. Everybody's on board on this at

least right now. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nett and Yaho's office set in their statement that the final details were still on resolve, but it'd hope that details will be finalized tonight. They will be yesterday. Trump, who threatened last week of the deal was not struck before inauguration day, remember the words all hell will break out in the

Middle East quickly and well. He praised that the epics ceasefire agreement could have only been happened as a result, could have only happened as a result of our historic victory in November, as it signaled to the entire world that my administration would seek peace and negotiate deals to ensure the safety of all Americans and our allies. I'm thrilled American and Israeli hostages will be returning home to be reunited with their families and loved ones. And again.

Steve Whitcoff, Trump's envoy to the Middle East Many sources confirming that he was pivotal in the role of negotiating the peace deal. Okay. The agreement calls for the release of three high hostages on the first day, followed by weekly batches. Again, women, children, men of were fifty prioritized initially, younger men and humanitarian cases included. Later updates on the hostages. Statuses will alternate between announcements of survivors and confirmation of

those who did not survive captivity. And it's interesting because in some reporting it said that most of them are still alive and another reporting that they say half of them are dead. So the fog of war, the fog of well not knowing the status of the health and well being of the hostages or in some cave someplace. On the sixteenth day, okay, the second phase begins a dressing the release of younger men soldiers in return of remains.

Speaking to the dead hostages, Netanyahu assured hostage fami families that every captive is accounted for in the deal. Only one thousand Palestinian prisoners will be freed in exchange, with murder convicts barred from returning to the West Bank. Instead, they'll be sent to Gaza cutter or Turkey, And you got to wonder out loud, you know, did anybody ask Gaza Cutter or Turkey if they were interested in getting

the murderers back or deported to their countries? They say, to ceasefire also is negotiated in some humanitarian aid to Gaza. Up to six hundred trucks of supplies entering daily by the twenty second day. Keep dwelling on where do they came up with these specific days This placed residents will be allowed to return to northern Gaza.

The Trump effect may have had an impact on the Israeli Jimasies fire hostage deal, and I think the Trump effect is also having an impact on the FDA, which in the last moment of the Biden administration, is busily

churning out new rules. For example, the the the the rules curbing the levels of nicotine in cigarettes. You know, I'm I'm of the mind that FBA could completely ban cigarettes right there. Aren't good for you. They cause cancer, they cause insurance claims to go up. Because they are responsible and connected to direct correlation between smoking cigarettes and cancer and other diseases, you know, blood pressure, cardiovascular problems.

They could just outright ban them. Remember the Biden administration was going to ban menthol cigarettes outright, but oh oh, and they can't do that. Apparently black people and a higher percentage smoke menthol cigarettes, and they found that to be a political minefield, so they backed off of that. So now they're just going to go after the nicotine levels. And it's been observed by folks who've studied this that if you lower the nicotine and cigarettes, they're still going

to have some in there. It's just going to be reduced to a certain amount. But that's going to cause people who are already addicted to smoking and the nicotine that the cigarettes provide to smoke more cigarettes. You're not getting the same nicotine infusion into your body, so you make up with it by smoking more. It makes perfect sense, but you ask yourself. The question, why don't they just ban them outright? If there's such an evil and a danger.

And we've all known this since nineteen sixty four Surgeon General report came out in spite of the tobacco companies fighting against it. They ended up paying dearly for that effort. That was the tobacco litigation. But I mean, if the FDA's job is to protect us, then why why not just say I'm sorry, they're illegal, They're banned, you cannot have them because of all the damage they do. Well.

US Food and Drug Administration officially banned red dye anyway, red number three erythrazine, and it's been banned from foods, dietary supplements, and ingested medicine. According to release yesterday from the Associated Press, food manufacturers must remove the dye from their products by drummer LL Maestro random date January twenty twenty seven. Drug manufacturers, on the other hand, have until January twenty twenty eight to remove the red dye from

their products. Now, I don't think red dye has any connection with solving or curing any particular disease state or pain or symptom. The red dyece is for color. So what's the problem with pharmaceutical is just pulling it out of their products in advance of January twenty twenty eight. Why do they get an extra year. I'm just asking for friends. Any foods imported in the United States and

other countries also be sub to the new regulation. According to Jim Jones, FDA's DEW Commissioner for Human Foods, they have a division. The FDI is taking action that remove the authorization for the use of fd and c RED number three in the food, ingestin and drugs. Evidence shows cancer and laboratory mail rats expose the high levels of fd and c red number three. Importantly, the way that fdn c red number three causes cancer and mail rats does not occur in humans. So is this being done

to protect rats? Joe is, because it causes cancer and rats, but it doesn't cause it in humans. Yeah. As Fox News reports, it's us as a color additive in food and ingested drugs to give them a quote bright cherry

red color. Close quote. Now, I guess I will I will nod and acknowledge that in terms of drugs that we are all used to the pills that we take and the color helps us desire to determine which pill it is, and some some people I suppose, are eating like dozens of different pharmaceuticals every day and they just identify by, oh, the red pill. I need to take the red pill. And if they take it out, the red pill is no longer going to be red, It's

going to be white or something. So maybe that's in an effort to stay the confusion that some consumers and drug takers might have. But I have a feeling that this has largely to do with something that RFK Junior had commented on previously, because he's huge, huge, huge against all the additives that are going into our foods generally speaking. So there you go. But they won't ban cigarettes, So ban FD and see red number three five twenty six.

It's five KCD talk station. Not that I'm advocating that they ban them. You have the right to abuse yourself. I suppose that's part of being a human being. Stick around. We've got more to talk about local stories coming up, and phone calls are quite welcome to stick around. Place fifty five The talk station Monster BTK, the latest installment of The Critical Joe is deciding that he wants to have a bet On when Hamas is going to fire

the first rocket? How many days into the ceasefire deal, Willy Well just randomly start chucking rockets and missiles into Israel. What day did you pick Joe the twenty first? You said that they don't work on Martin Luther King Junior day. I will acknowledge Joe cracksby up all time anyhow. And this is a sad thing. I mean, it's positive on a lot of levels, but it's really sad going to local stories, I've got so many fond memories of Morgan's

canoe livery and canoe rental. It's called Morgan's Canoe and Outdoor Adventures. It's closing the Little Miami River location after sixty years. And I know the Morgan family. I knew Rob Morgan was one of my fraternity brothers. He's a great guy, and his mom and dad started this. They

were just really, really wonderful advocates for the environment. And when they opened up the canoe delivery, the idea was that the canoes would be sort of rented, but they didn't cost any money as long as you brought back garbage. And there was a ton of garbage all over the place. People used to dump things into the Little Miamay River all the time, and that's how it all got started. They cared so much about the environment they were going to put their resources to getting people to just help

clean it up. So it's been a great success. Rented canoes from Morgan's a bunch of times over the years. And then when I met Rob in college and we went up to the delivery and got kayaks and we went down the river together. So anyway, Rob were out there, I had great time doing that. Anyway, Kayak and Canoe Delivery announced the closure on social media on Wednesday, calling

it a bittersweet could buy. The livery in Fort h And, Ohio, first open in nineteen sixty four, also had several cabins in a campground area along the alongside the canoe rental area. Morgan family wrote in a statement, this is a perfectly beautiful ending to our lifelong stewardship of the river, the legacy of this river and its importance to the people and wildlife we live on through so many conservation efforts.

And they announced that over twenty five acres at the Warren County location we protected land through a collaborative effort between the Little Miami Conservancy and the Hot Department Natural Resources and the Susan Gare Peters Foundation. The statement read to our loyal customers and community, thank you for sixty amazing years together we've created memories of a lasted lifetime and helping sure the Little Miami River remains a treasure

for future generations. Now, for their part, Morgan's are still going to keep the location in Brookville, Indiana one and twenty. Location sits in the Whitewater River and offers canoe, kayak, rafting, tubing trips as well as camping options. So morgan Rental will continue in part, but the famous Fort Ancient, Ohio area location and well, I guess a park. Now we'll see what the terms of conditions of that and whether we'll be able to use those facilities ourselves and enjoy nature.

Thirty three year old man dead after a rollover crash having an I two seventy five early yesterday morning. According to the Coraine Police Department, happened in the westbound lanes of I two seventy five near I seventy five just before four to a m. A driver in a single vehicle rolled over multiple times, appearing to have landed at its top on the just off the road, please said. The driver and the passenger were critically injured, both taking

a UC medical center. Robert Anthony Simmons was pronounced dead there, according to police. Not clear if he was the driver or the passenger. Police also did not say the current condition of the other person in the vehicle. Crash apparently resulted in the hire entire highway being closed during the morning commute while Cruise worked to clean up. The interstate reopened at eight am. Police are investigating alcohol as a factor and it does remain under investigation by Coraine's police

traffic unit. But if you have information, the cole Ran Travick you know, would love to hear from you five one three three two one, twenty six seventy seven and House Speaker Matt Huffman here in Ohio just a month ago, city wanted to drastically change the state's marijuana WA. Marijuana

Morgantrowe WCPO reporting these backtrack on at least some of his proposed restrictions after meetings with state House was resident marijuana enthusiast back in twenty twenty three November election, we overwhelmingly passed issue too, allowing adults twenty one and over to smoke, vape and ingest weed. Individual highlands are now able to

grow six plants with up to twelve per household. Dispensaries now can sell recreationally and they have been since August, the last year. Aja Carabello with amplified dispensary said to Morgan Trowe, it was a front row seat for history on that day back in August. Great to see new customers coming in over the month after month into the regulated market here in Ohio, he said. Store location have

roughly fifty two thousand unique customers since the launch. He said the state reports more than two hundred and sixty five million dollars in adult use sales since January eleven. How about that, you said. Smoke shops, though, are stealing buyers from the well licensed marijuana stores with Delta eight

products that are not regulated or tested. He noted the folks should be looking for the green DCC sticker on their dispensary doors so they know they're entering into a license facility with saved products at Delta eight, described by many as not safe let's see here. According to Huffman last month, there were some fundamental flaws in the initiative that was introduced and passed by the voters, which you will usually have when there's not a vetting from all sides.

The build that the Senate passed last December addressed many of those things. They passed the build a restrict marijuana, decrease the THC content, and raise costs, among dozens of other restrictions and changes to what the voters shows. It would ban the vast majority of vapes. It would also limit homegrown marijuana from twelve plants down to six. Upan said, the amount of home growth it's happening, of course, is far beyond the use for one or two people who

may be growing it at home. The only reason that someone will be growing that much weed is to resell it. Oh yeah, let's see. But he has backpedaled apparently recently. Upman said, it seems that folks are kind of take talking a lot about that home growth thing. I just don't think it's really that big a deal in terms of this issue. Oh, I don't think anybody realistically is suggesting that we're going to repeal the legislation or legalization

of marijuana. He said, I'm not for it. I wasn't for the casinos coming Intohio either, But there's lots of stuff that's parts of our constitution in the law that I don't like. So backpedal.

manslaughter case that happened there last July. Logan Diaz Lopardo Logan is twenty one Abigail Whipple. She's twenty arrested earlier in the week, stemming from an investigation began back in July when twenty four year old Kevin Gangle was struck and killed on Clearview Avenue, struck by an automobile. Police claimed that this Diaz Lopardo guy was driving the car and Whipple was his passenger. The girl court to the

police support Whipple and Gangle. The victim dated for over a year, and the night before the crash, Gangle and Whipple, the dead guy and the gal got into an argument. Next morning, the girl, Whipple found Gangle had blocked her phone number, which angered her, according to police, so she reached out to her friend, this Diaz Lopardo guy. Ah, Yes, Joe Streckery hit the nail on the head on that one.

She told police that she was not interested romantically in Diaz Lopardo, but he was obsessed with her and would do anything for her. Don't be that guy, she tell it told troopers, but I kind of let him on a little bit sometimes. I didn't want to hurt him, you know what I mean, like I would always say. One day, state police told Whipple they wanted to take

her phone in for the investigation. She said out loud, I mean, maybe I've threatened Gangle, but I didn't mean nothing, And I said everything I say is out of impulsivity. After connecting collecting snapchack snapchack chat text between Diaz, Lopardo and Whipple. Police, of course got them the morning of the crash. Police noted in messages Whipple asked this Dias Lopardo guy, can we beat his ass please? And you

I want him hurt. She also sent a message to her former boyfriend Gangle, the dead guy, minutes before the crash, saying I warned you. That's when Diaz and Whipple hit Gangle with DIA's Lopardo's car. According to state police, Gangle thrown seventy feet and died. As a consequence. DIA's Laparto charge with manslaughter in the first degree with intent to injure, manslaughter in the first degree with grave risk of death,

was arrested in December in Lake Wells, Florida. Document reports a police said they got a call about alleged sexual activities involving an animal. Cops say the unnamed witness told him that she saw a man pleasuring himself next to the head of a twenty eight year old horse named Raven, which is also alleged The man was well, yeah, yeah, endeavoring to use the horse's nose. I can't. I know. I'm struggling with fec compliance in some measure of decency,

which is impossible at this juncture. Cops also say witness claims that this man continue to pleasure himself while touching the horse. Cops say they received a video from the witness showing exactly what she described to them. Obviously say the video doesn't actually show Callaway actually in, you know, completing the nose effort, but they did add that his actions then movements make it seem like he is certainly

trying to police confront of Callaway. According to the document, they say, Calloway called the decision domb, adding I have had any sex in probably two months, and maybe it was just a sexually frustrated moment. Rested and booked on one kind of sexual contact with animals. According to online records, he was still in jail as of the time of

the reporting. Hey look at this karma, poetic justice. Black Lives Matter co founder Patrese Colors said she had apparently two of her luxurious mansions go up in flames in the Los Angeles wildfires. Triesce Colors came to prominence and I underscore the word wealth amid fiery protests and riots that swept across America advocating for social justice and change.

She's well now in for some her own change these mansions. Obviously, in these very upscale neighborhoods, symbols of success funded by the donations meant to support a movement against systemic inequal an organization that was founded on Marxism. It's my main criticism with Marxism man that people in power always live like lords and kings. Anyhow, witnesses report that is the fire and gulf one of the spranging estates, a crowd gathered not in an effort to put the flames out,

but to watch it unfold. So I'm suggesting that they were there for the return on their investment. One onlooker reported saying, it's like watching all that BLM money go up and smoke. Guess this is why what they mean by burning down the system. Oh that's rich, isn't it. Go to Pittsburgh, where a woman there is accused of getting two underage boys drunk and then trying to sexually assault one of them after police say they came to her house asking to show or walk away for money.

What police said the two boys were walking along a wind gap avenue asking residents that they needed their walkways or driveways. Shovel Rochelle Stuart allegedly gave him alcohol. Officers showed up to the department building about nine pm Wednesday, where they found the two boys, who looked to be around age twelve or thirteen, and the police described highly intoxicated.

Boys told officers they've been asking residents along the road about getting the driveway shoveled, and they say Stuart agreed to pay them five dollars to shovel her front walkway. Documents for fourth that Stuart allegedly invited them inside for

hot chocolate. Then was when the alcohol was offered. Courd to police, Stewart gave the boys multiple drinks consisting of vodka and wine until they were drunk, and then one of the boys told police that when he was drunk, Stuart sat down next to him and put her leg over his and then touched him inappropriately. Do what the hell. Boys immediately left, but they had to go back after realizing one of them forgot their coat. That's when police

showed up. Stuart denied letting the boys in, but police found the victim's coat on her couch, along with half a gown of uh well a vodka half empty. One of the boys also took a video of Stuart sitting with the other rubbing his shoulder and arm. See there's always a video out there, folks. Stuart was arrested.

This is crazy stuff going on in the world. But Lord Almighty, you'd think in this day and age that the adults would wake up to the fact that someone's going to talk, someone's going to have video or photographs of what you're doing, the illegal, immoral, inexcusable conduct that you're engaged in. And the idea that an adult would actually tend, not in this case, but any other adult would actually text a minor and document and verify that they are grooming or otherwise engage in some sort of

sexual activity with them is beyond my comprehension. It's also beyond my comprehension that would happen in the first place, but incriminating. You're dealing with children here. They're going to talk amongst themselves and share the information with their friends. You are going to get caught and thank God for it. Five fifty six fifty five kr see the talk station.

not taking it. Government's two bigs taking on too much responsibilities and it isn't ever satisfied with the money it takes from us. Look how much is overspending has been going on? And Biden has patting himself on the back last night and a rather rambling and confusing speech under his watch. I think eight trillion dollars in additional debt has been racked up, eight trillion dollars. Never satisfied with the taxes that go into government. Senator Ran Paul hit

me on at seven thirty. He got a whole bunch of things to talk about with the Senator. Eight toh five with doctor James Thorpe, the book Sacrifice. He bucked the system in connection with the COVID nineteen vaccine, and uh well he went through hell to do it, and he's going to be talking about that sacrife, how the deadliest vaccine in history targeted the most vulnerable. Sit on the edge of your seat waiting for that one. I

certainly am. And then Jay Ratliffe at eight thirty I heard media aviation expert Jay ratlt we'll talk about Southwest Airline pilots reporting to work, drunk, Department of Transportation suing Jet Blue over chronically delayed flights and now Frontier in Southwest apparently next plus hub delays and anything else that Jay and I decide we want to talk about. I enjoy my conversation with Jay, and I sure hope you

do too. I've enjoyed my conversation with you too, encourage people to call up you've got something you want to talk about five one three seven, eight hundred eight two three talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones. The numbers keep changing. It's like the fog of war. How much is it going to cost? How much damage

has been done out in Los Angeles? What is the destructive the dollar amount of the destruction described as the worst fire disaster in history, now apparently courted at ACI Weather, who does crunching of numbers like this, with new damage economic loss now estimated between two hundred and fifty and two hundred and seventy five billion dollars. Accuather pointed out that that amount of money in losses is more than the inflation adjusted damages of two hundred billion dollars from

Hurricane Katrina. It's amazing, isn't it. It was just last week the ACU Weather's figure for this total economic damage one hundred and fifty billion dollars. Insured losses believed to be around twenty billion. That number has gone up a little bit since then. But remember insured losses or the losses that are actually covered by insurance companies because there is an insurance policy and there's a whole lot of

folks in this mix that do not have insurance. We'll get to some details on that in a moment, but I just this is kind of mind blowing. I do do not know how people manage. According to IRS data data analyzed by JPM, the average home in the area and you've heard this figure before, the Pacific Palisades area, right, you know what it is? Three point five million dollars average. But JPM reports that more than half of the tax returns in that area alone report an adjusted gross income

of under two hundred thousand dollars. How do you make a mortgage payment on a three and a half million dollar home when you only make something less than two hundred thousand dollars. In Altadena, by contrast, the average home there is still in excess of one point two million dollars, but more than eighty percent of the tax filings show incomes below two hundred thousand dollars, with more than sixty percent in the Altadena era area reporting less than one

hundred thousand dollars. I don't that, Oh question mark, why would you live there? How could you live there? But you got to remember a lot of those folks have been in these houses for decades and their value went up. Of course, the mortgage tied to what your mortgage, and you know it was at the time you bought the house something less than probably the current or former market value of the homes in those areas. So they were sitting on millions of dollars and untapped equity, I guess

unearned gains. But as to the insurance market, the reason so few people have insurance out there is because of well, California's owner's insurance regulations, which prohibit insurance companies from adjusting premiums that actually reflect what the risk is. Many insurance

companies left the state of California because of that. And guess what, you know, who's going to be paying for the damages on this I know you're going to say you you probably will be because the federal government would come in with, I don't know, something more than the seven hundred and seventy five dollar check that Joe Biden was handing out to people who've been displaced by the fires.

But they're in for a real wake up call. California's Fair Plan described as the insurer of last resort there, which sells fire policies, fire damaged policies to homeowners who can't find an insurance company out there in the world or can't afford the insurance of the premium for the insurance if they can even find it. And there's been some changes to the California Fair Plan rules advocated by

the insurance companies. They were previously on the hook, all right, So you go to the insurer last resort fair and Fair has x number of dollars to cover the cost of claims. If the number of dollars to cover the cost of claims is exceeded, then the insurance companies have to bail them out. The insurance companies did this and agreed to this as a consequence or for the right

to do business in californ there's your law on the books. Listen, if you want to sell insurance policies in state of California, you have to agree to pro rate your your share of the market to cover anything that Fair can't cover. The new rules allow insurance companies to build their customers if they're forced to bail out the plan. So guess who's going to get the bill for this. It's going to show up on your premium. So, for its part, Fair has an estimated two hundred million dollars in cash.

Remember the figure I just gave you a two hundred and fifty billion dollars in damage. They have two hundred million in cash. There is reinsurance, but it only amounts to two point five billion dollars. So there's your total pool of money in the fair plan to cover what losses there are. Accordingly, the insurance companies are going to be asked for a distribution unbelievable, and they point out that

fairs business. In other words, people turning to the insurer of last resort balloon after private insurers pulled back to the state because the state wouldn't less them adjust premiums to well deal with the risk models that they were looking at which warned of likely massive fires. Insurance companies are good at figuring out where the natural disasters are coming and considering that California has had a multitude of fires over the years, Yeah, you have to rate for that.

Analystic morning Star DBRs now forecast insured insured losses of up to thirty billion dollars. So that's the only amount out there in the insurance world. That's the highest for any fire world in recent times. But thirty billion dollars is for homes that actually had insurance policies, and they point out as reading this journal article, the Fair Plan wasn't set up as a typical insurer. Of course, it's a state run thing, so it doesn't work right. It

operates with very little care in the bank. Two hundred million dollars again for the purpose of keeping rates down, so policyholders can actually afford to pay for the Fair policy. But if they don't have enough to cover the losses, huh. Fair Plan required to take all comers, meaning it has customers heavily concentrated in fire prone areas and apparently with very wealthy or expensive homes alta Dinas zip code alone.

Fair ensured almost one billion dollars of properties at the end of September last year, and that's up forty seven percent from the prior year. So if they run out of their financial resources over at Fair, the state can call on the commercial home insurers to pay the rest of the claims by opposing imposing the an assessment, an assessment roughly proportionate to each insurer's share of the home

insurance market. And if the Fair Plan blows through the two hundred million which it clearly will, and the two point five billion dollars it has in reinsurance, it's going to need more money because of the rule change late last year of the state's insurance commissioner, Ricardo Laras said by the insurance Commissioner, I don't know if he waived his pen and change it or was a legislative change,

but it was changed. The companies can now add to their customers bills fifty percent of the first one billion dollars of an assessment and one hundred percent of any amounts over that, subject to his agreement. Of course, since the insurance rates are already going through the roof out

in California, it's going to really, really, really sting. They set up this fair plan, they say back in the nineteen sixties when the Watts riots led to a bunch of fire damage in La prompting commercial insurance to pull out. And they did not just then, but they continue to pull out. Seven of the twelve biggest home insurers in the state stopped or restricted sales of new policies, saying rates allowed by regulators are insufficient to compensate for wildfires

and other losses. Again, you know, this is the puppets. String masters in government don't get insurance. Apparently, you can't tell an insurance company it can't rate for the risk. The insurance company will either leave or go out of business because they don't have enough money on hand to cover the cost of a catastrophic fire. That's just the natural order of things. So I guess the point being is only going to get a lot worse than California.

From an insurance perspective, you should let market forces dictate the terms of condition. This will allow people and force people to make responsible choices. This is the point that was brought up the other day. Let's see here, I'm going to buy a three point five million dollar home, and my insurance is going to cost me some un godly amount every single year just to cover for the case of fire. And there's a huge fire risk around here, which is why the insurance company is charging me an

ungodly amount for premiums. They have to be able to cover the losses HM is insurance that much down there where there's not a fire risk. Let me check. Oh no, maybe I should buy down there where the houses are cheaper and the fire risk is in as bad and my insurance won't cost it damn much. Matt to get you called a second, just looked up and saw you were there on the line. I want to mention foreign exchange first. For traditional import manufactured cars from Asia and Europe,

all that stuff. Clearing it out is one thing. What you do with it along your lines is a different story. But you got to clear it out first. So getting the work done has never been done, or has been has fallen behind unbelievably. So in spite of the efforts and the money that's been allocated to do it, so you still have the challenge of actually engaging in the gathering. And if you can't gather, you can't do anything with it. So I mean, they are theories are the worst enemies

themselves out in California along those lines. So I guess I can't argue that it wouldn't be a good idea if it works as you describe. But considering the I mean, think about it. If fifty thousand acres have been burned, that is a huge amount of land, and I just I'm trying to imagine the amount of workforce and labor that would be necessary to do that gathering and to do that clearing, And where do you start. I mean,

I think of my daughter in Eric or fiance. They are trying to they're in the process of and over time, I guess it will ultimately be done and getting rid of all the invasive honeysuckle that's on their property. Fortunately it's around the perimeter. Most of their land is open and farmable, but there are so many of those things. I mean, they spent days and they only ended up

getting out the tiniest fraction. I know, it's just one, you know, a couple of people working, but when you expand the amount of gathering that needs to be done over countless acres across an entire state. Because they've got this problem elsewhere in California, it just seems like a Sissifian challenge. I don't know. If they do the gathering, maybe there's something there that can be done with it along the lines of what you're saying, Bobby, hang on

They're just they were the best people, his mom and dad who started the canoe operation because they cared about the environment. Little Miami was just absolutely polluted. It was a dumping ground.

I am convinced personally that it's John Houston. If you heard my conversation with Alex Trantefilo about that, Well, here's a new one. I have not heard this before, but Maureen said and sent me a little mean thing breaking. Trump wants to Ramaswamy for JD's Senate seat. Dwine wants to appoint himself that I had not heard. I'm not

saying it's true. I don't know that would take some Huevos, though, wouldn't it Anyways, talking earlier about the sanity that is California in terms of an insurance market with the vast majority of the home the the fire insurers, the homeowners insure insurance companies pulling out of the state within the last several years, and I was talking about it in the context of that insurer of last Resort, that FAIR program they have in California, and so all these folks

who couldn't afford insurance or couldn't find an insurer for their homes that were surrounded by Kindling end up getting a policy through Fair. Fair is underfunded substantially, so basically have two point seven million dollars to play with or billion dollars to play with, and you're talking about tens of billions, if not hundreds of billions of dollars in

total losses here. Fair is going to be on the hook for a lot of that, since it was only a small percentage of the people there are insured if not through Fair, and a point that I think it's worth making. Insurance US companies aren't dumb, and since they knew by doing business in California, they were going to be responsible for paying for any uninsured or non covered losses under the Fair plan. So you've got let's say,

fifty hundred billion dollars in losses. Fair has got a total of two point seven billion dollars to play with. That gets exhausted, they still have to pay for the damage done, so they turn to the insurance companies in pro rate, and the insurance companies have to write them a check to cover everything else. That, of course now is going to be passed along to the currently insured

people in California. But at my point on insurance companies leaving the state, they knew damn well that this Fair program wasn't funded fully, and they knew damn well that they were going to be on the hook for the liability. And prior to this recent rule change which now allows the insurance companies to pass it along to the policyholders, they knew they were going to be on the hook for it that could put companies out of business, so

they left the state. California set this up up. This is why I did the lead into this batcrap in Sanity Representative Sydney Kalmingder. You probably never heard of her. I hadn't before reading this article from Fox Democratic California was on CNN the other day talking with Sarah Snyder.

We need to find out the facts, a full scale investigation on what went wrong, and the CBC, the Congressional Black Caucus, for example, are curious about who decided to sacrifice Alta Dina, a historically black community in the La County area. Now there's your conspiracy theory right there. But

I'm not done yet. Going back to the insurance, she says, there's no reason why only two fifths of the folks who had their houses burned down were insured, and why companies are leaving California in droves as well as other disaster prone states. What do you mean you need an investigation?

Your insurance commissioner won't allow insurance companies to rate the risk that they are insuring, capping any increases in premium by a I think like ten percent, But even that has to receive approval from the insurance commissioner, which is hard to get. Insurance companies realize they're staring at a massive potential liabilities, so they left there. I answered your question, idiot.

Los Angeles fire insurance expert Richard Giller, also on function, is that the state policies to blame for these canceled policies. Lawmakers refused to allow insurance companies increase premium costs for residents in the wake of ever more destructive fires. Consequently, insurance companies are written fewer claims, canceled claims, or even

left California entirely. He said. So, the insurance companies tried to seek approval for rate increases in the California Apartment of Insurance, and the Insurance Commissioner decided, you know, they didn't want homeowners to pay more money. It all came to a head with seven of the twelve largest insurance companies pulling out of the state again, question answered, going back to the conspiracy theory, though I got a new one for you today. So question was Altadena's sacrifice. This

goes to the whole kind of Lahina. They did it on intentionally thing. So you can couple that general conspiracy theory that's been floating or out there for a while along with the one that I got this morning, which I don't again necessarily believe. But they set houses on fire using their electric smart meters. Yes, it was an intentionally done thing, and they burned houses down by I guess overloading the smart meter with electricity sparking fires. So

again i'm not I'm not aligned with that theory. But you see how quickly these things crop up. Six forty six if you have KC detalk station, if you didn't see that one coming a mile away, USA Insulation, get your home insulated. It's the right thing to do. You'd be more comfortable day one.

the reach of the average human being. California State of Emergency that was declared by Governor Gavin Newsom on Tuesday bans price gouging for a whole bunch of different things, goods and services, including rental and according to the I Guess the state of emergency, any rent increase above ten percent since the start of the state of the emergency

is illegal until the crisis is over. But it's been widely reported that some landlords and agents have been raising prices by far more than the ten percent allowed by California. Get a load of this five bedroom rental and Santa Monica listed for twelve thousand, five hundred dollars a month back in February of last year, up to twenty eight thousand dollars a month, described to one hundred and twenty four percent increase. Joey at twenty thousand dollars a month,

you manage that butt, brother, huh. Inside editions, Lisa Guerrero posted on some social media site. Clients of our friend were trying to Lisa house with their home being renovated before the fire. The lease eighteen thousand dollars a month. They were going to sign the papers the day of the fire. Now the people renting want thirty thousand dollars

a month. One real estate agent, talking to New York Times, I'm Samir Tapia, said to review more than four hundred listings, revealed nearly one hundred properties that had raised rents above the ten percent. North Hollywood listing went from eight hundred dollars a month to five thousand, seven hundred dollars per month. This is mind boggling. Well furnished Beller home on Zillo twenty nine thousand, five hundred dollars a month, just a month. A few months ago, it was only only fifteen to nine.

Why would any wood move there? One listing twenty was previously twenty nine thousand, five hundred dollars month. Now, granted it's a nine thousand, six hundred square foot tutor mansion at bell Air, but it's up to thirty nine thousand dollars per month. Well, if you've got a piece of standing property out in La I'm guessing that if you ignore Gavin Newsom and his cap at ten percent, you can make yourself a heaplow to money. People in times

of desperation end up having to do desperate things. And it is you know, I have to say, I know the laws of supply and demand. Are the laws of supply and demand? The housing stock supply has dropped dramatically if you haven't noticed, which means whatever standing in the general area well is going to be under significant demand.

Is it unethical and immoral or either to at least look out for your own best interests as a property owner and just put it out there and see what you can get, see what the market will support in terms of the rental rate? Is it illegal or immoral for the governor to just arbitrarily I would say, come up with ten percent as a cap on rent increases. Talk amongst yourselves, stick around, Donald and Neil.

friend's good to hear from you today, Brian. Great to be here with you, and I'm telling you these expiring trunk tax cuts. I don't know if you saw the reporting. I got a They was widely reported, but I got it out of Fox News. Ernstin Young did a study

on behalf of the American National Associate of Manufacturing. They figured if Congress does not act by the end of this year to preserve the tax cuts and Jobs Acts that they call the Trump tax Cuts, we will lose an estimated five point nine million American jobs and it

will impact the economy profoundly. They say the manufacturing sector alone five hundred and forty billion dollars in lost wages of one point eight nine trillion GDP swortfall the manufacturing jobs one point one three seven million manufacturing jobs at one sector alone will be lost if these tax cuts don't remain in place. That's just that's that's some serious numbers. Donovan.

launched this Protect Prosperity campaign. It's a twenty million dollar, fifty state campaign that is designed to help raise awareness and apply necessary pressure on Congress to make sure they act, because you're really dealing with two things here, right, We're coming out of four years of Bidenomics, where folks have experienced massive increases in inflation that many folks call a hit in tax and then what the number two punch if Congress fails to act, as you sort of as

you outlined there very well, is if the Trump tax cuts from twenty seventeen are allowed to expire, now you're going to see an actual increase, a visible tax increase on your bill, on your paycheck you get every two weeks. And that's why we need to get Congress to act protect Prosperity and make the Trump tax cuts permanent as soon as possible this year.

the effort gonna work? Yeah, I mean, it's what we do best, right.

They mean the fundamental point being our government never ever cuts, It just continues to expand and get more expensive, and fewer tax dollars going into the Washington makes it impossible to overcome the challenge of the deficit.

not Washington's. Well, of the best ways to keep them from spending more money is to make sure they don't get it every two weeks out of your paycheck by letting the Trump tax cuts expire.

Thank you doctor Daniel Wang for bursting another bubble. Persistent professor of medicine and at the Bring Them in Women's

Hospital at Harvard Medical School. His team report that people who eat more processed red meat had a fourteen percent higher risk of developing dementia over more than four decades, and those who consumed minimal amounts so red meat bad. Not the first person to suggest that that's the case, that this is focusing on process and apparently very little meat. According to their studies, they said they analyzed data for more than one hundred and thirty thousand health professionals enrolled

in two major studies. Every two to four years. People filled out detailed dietary surveys asking about their intake of more than one hundred and fifty foods. Also collected health data and dementia diagnosis, and asked people to brief questions about their memory. I got a John Asia scept this

on this how accurate that could actually be.

the Russ Vaught officer management and budget. And he has interesting perception which I think is probably an accurate one, although it did rub some of the Democrats the wrong way. He said that he does not have to spend or the Trump does not have to spend money that has been allocated by Congress, authorized by Congress. He's got no obligation to do that. Presidents have the ability to spend less than an appropriation if they can do it for less. And on that topic, welcome back to the fifty five

Caursessey Morning Show, Senator Ran Paul. It's always a pleasure to have you on my program, Sir, glad to be with you, good morning. My understanding is I know Christy Noam's Department of Homeland Security hearing is on the agenda for us to talk about and we can. I just saw that it got kicked for a day. It's supposed to have They're supposed to have that tomorrow. Is that is that correct?

of parameters of how we would use that. That's something that his team would have to consider in the confirm That obviously rubbed Democrats the wrong way, including Richard Blumenthal, who expressed astonishment that someone would even say that.

against him doing that. But there is another possibility of an impoundment that's absolutely legal and no question on that's called recision. The President could simply ship the two hundred billion dollars back to Congress. It gets an expedited vote, and the expedited vote can be fifty percent vote, so there's no filibuster, meaning that Republicans alone could cut that two hundred billion. So I think there it's a tool

that has never been fully utilized. Trump tried it once in the previous administration for only fifteen billion, and two Republicans is deserted and voted with the Democrat and we lost even a fifteen billion car recision. I'm hoping they will try again, and it's one of those things they have to understand. They're going to have to come and lobby. Not people like me who are for cutting, but there are

some of the bigger government Republicans. They're just have to come over and lobby them and try to convince them to vote for us and convince them really that the circumstances of our debt are pretty dire and growing more dire. Interest rates aren't coming down, and that's you know, not only is that the debt was accumulated, but with interest rates twice what they were ten years ago. You know, we're paying off the debt at two percent. Now we're

paying off the debt at four percent. Yeah, that's a big deal.

having a conversation with Congressman Massy Bud. He says, you know, it was the Omnibus bill and of course the Reconciliation Bill, and I said, you know, you guys are in charge now, you can just deliver on cutting and he just kind of chuckled, and you said, well, you know, when you're talking about cutting projects in a Republican's home state, they're a little they're wary to do, you know, not going to do it because it's their stuff and it's there,

it's their pet project. And even if it's something ridiculous, like the F thirty five. You know they won't cut. I said, well, why don't you start naming names. Let's spread the word on who's doing that kind of thing so we cannot make the same mistake next time around. And he said, well, you know, I got to work with these people. I just got to I wasn't comforted by that statement.

do it. But it's just not far and wide enough and it's not out there. And you know, the internet has so much information, but you rarely come across, you know, rating systems that have prominence which show how how your congressman voted. You know, if you know, I pointed out in Festivus report this year that there was a four hundred thousand dollars grant to study whether or not lonely rats use more cocaine than group social rats and load ball.

When you're lonely, you tap the cocaine button more. And anyway, the thing is is what kind of grief would the public give if they knew that their congressman not only voted for this, but voted to double the amount of money given to this agency. It's called the National Science Foundation. And we had a bill which was to subsidize billion dollar chip companies and also double the size the National Science Foundation, and every Democrat voted for it, and have

the Republicans voted for it. But you're right, somebody's got to point it out. Somebody's got to point out who's voting for these things.

Our hearing is called Remain in Mexico. We're going to have the previous director of Homeland Security under previous Trump administration, Ken Kuchinelli, talented lawyer, constitutional lawyer from Virginia, and he's going to talk about does the existing law already give the president the power to control the border. This is the debate we had with the Democrats. They're like, oh, well, we'd love to control the border, but we just need to give Biden the power to do it. We don't

think that's true. We think the power already gives great latitude to how any kind of asylum program is created. We frankly think that the president has the power to simply make people who come across the border illegally in eligi for asylum. Then you wouldn't start these four year long processes applying people all over the US waiting for

their when they'll be detained. We also think the president, for the couple million people that came in last year, unattended young males coming into our country, I think the President could move their detainment date the next month and say your detainment trial you're hearing is next month. But this is what the ones that already got here that buy let d and if you don't show up, you're a felon. And then when we find you, you'll be kicked out and never come back. And so I think

there's a lot of things that can be done. They're dramatic. I think Trump's going to use a lot of these dramatic things that he already has the power for. We wanted to make sure the public knew that the law actually supports quite a bit of latitude for the president.

another CT scan in April. I've already made the appointment at Affordable Medical Imaging. In fact, you know, it's kind of funny. When I saw I have them on that point with my doctor, she said, are you going to go to the same place she went last time? I said yeah, I thought well, I said, just print me out of script. I'll take care of it. By the time I got home, I got a call from Affordable Imaging Services. They'd already got in touch with them, so

it's scheduled the MRI. I'm ready to go. It's going to or the the CT scan rather and it's not going to cost me nearly what it would cost that the hospital always like to point that out. I'm in a new calendar year with insurance too. We got a massive out of pocket liability. I don't want to write a check for five grand or whatever for the CT scan and pay extra for the contrast and the radiologists report. That's CT scan with my contrast six hundred dollars. That's right,

six hundred to Affordable Medical Imaging. And it includes the price of the board certified radiologist report, which was fine with my doctor the last time she got one. So they have the same equipment with medical professionals, just like the hospital, but they don't have the overhead. It is

low overhead. But when you can save so much money, and you got so much out of pocket liability, why wouldn't you go where it's going to be less and it's all things are equal beyond that five one three seven, five three eight thousands, and I'm gonna call you do have a choice when it comes to your medical care.

I did not get a vaccine. Early in the program, I was talking about this screwed up insurance market. I'll get your colleges. That's Nick on the phone there. The insurance market, it's all screwed up in California. A lot of insurers left for a multitude of reason, and not the least of which they weren't even be able to price premiums to deal with the risk that they were facing. And everybody knew about this risk. We've been talking about

it for years and years years, the fire risk. And of course, you know, one day the match gets lit and the whole place burns of the ground, which is what we're dealing with right now. And God bless the people out there. And I don't have any ill will toward them, but they live in a completely screwed up state. So Governor knew some issues this emergency order. And I was talking about the rental prices. Any rent increases above ten percent since the start of the state of emergency

is illegal for the duration of the crisis. And I gave you a couple of illustrations. There are listings in this article I saw on I guess it was zero Hedge, you know, pulled a bunch of these different listings, different articles from different sources and talk to different real estate agents, and you know what, the North Hollywood property was over one night, eight hundred dollars and then the fires let up, and the next day they are asking fifty seven hundred

dollars per month. I thought, wow, well, that clearly is in violation of the ten percent cap, but maybe it's not. The lawyer brain and mind kicked in a moment ago and I thought, wait a second, you can't raise rent more than ten percent. That suggests to me that there's already a rental agreement in place. So if you're already renting a place, the landlord can't come in and say, oh, by the way, it's not eight hundred, it's now fifty

seven hundred dollars you owe me per month. But if it's not rented again, you got to go back to market conditions. Is someone willing to pay fifty seven hundred dollars per month for this one North Hollywood property that previously was only eight hundred dollars a month. Maybe there is someone out in the world that'll do that, or maybe they'll try to haggle with the owner of the property and negotiate down to something like four thousand, seven

hundred or what. But if you don't have a rental agreement in place, I think some of these can be justified simply based upon the law of economics. And since we're talking about with Senator Rampaul about illegal immigrants, guess what They arrested an illegal immigrant the other day, Los Angeles who was trying to start fires with a blow

sheet and has a really significant rap sheet. Juan Manuel Sierra, thirty three years old, caught, they point out, not by law enforcement, by a group of residents in the Calabasas area of San Fernando Valley. They tackled him and his blowtorch. He was near their houses. Viral video neighbor captured shows that well, the neighbors grabbed him and held him down until this police showed up. He was arrested for violating probation. Has not been charged with arson. I was supposed, you say, yes,

they probably need some proof of that. But he's got several misdemeanors on his rap sheet as well as at least one felony, and you got to wonder why they didn't do anything about this. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement said in a statement on Tuesday this week they have placed

a detainer on this former Mexican national. Sierra has multiple encounters with law enforcement from November twenty sixteen to present for a variety of charges, and was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon on October tenth, twenty twenty three, in Van Nuys, California. Arrested by the Los Angeles Police

Department January tenth on felony probation violation. Apparently has multiple monikers aliases, but he was arrested with for assault with a deadly weapon causing great bodily injury in twenty twenty three, according to the police records, convicted in October, and here you go. The court ordered his release citing time served. Two months later, he's booked again for vil and domestic

violence restraining order, only to be released in January. Early January, So I thought they cared about women out in California. His latest arrest has passed October possession of narcotics paraphernalia, which is a misdemeanor California, release without bail three days later with a court date schedule for November. His booking docket, however, does not show a court proceeding for that date. Interesting, and they also caught a couple of more arsonists. Two

men charged with felony arson in Los Angeles. Not related cases, but they happened in different parts of Los Angeles County over this past weekend. A court of the DA's office Jamie Mota, thirty seven in jail on a three hundred and fifty thousand dollars bail for allegedly lighting a stack of wooden pallettes on fire behind a shipping yard Saturday afternoon spring Flames spread to a tractor trailer and surrounding bushes.

He could be at a seven years in prison of convicted, and add to that in Irwindale, Reuben Michael Montez, twenty seven years old, one hundred, four hundred thousand dollars bail for him for lighting a fire under I six OZHO five overpass in River Grade Road. It does sound familiar, doesn't it, Joe. He was already on probation at the time of the incident and faces up to fourteen years

in prison if convicted. And only Tuesday, District Attorney Todd Spitzer, Orange County, along with one other elected official, asked Governor Newsom to make looting a felony. And you wonder why it isn't already? Why wasn't looting a felony already on the books in the state of California? I wrote, loll after that, because this is the state that of course decriminalized stealing less than nine hundred and fifty bucks, or at least made it a misdemeanor which sparked a crime

wave in various cities in California. As you all know, seven fifty five right now, fifty five KOSTY talk station, doctor James Thorpe saying no to the powers that be and well suffering for it. He wrote a book about it. We're going to talk after the top of the own news about sacrifice, how the deadliest vaccine in history targeted the most vulnerable.

The book Sacrifice, How the Deadliest facts in the history target of the most vulnerable. He is, He's got an amazing background. Joe called the publicist to see if he could reach him because the number just went into voicemail. Two hundred and seventy five publications. He's got seventy on COVID nineteen related problems that he witnessed himself, and he was one of the few people that was running around screaming about how COVID shots should never be given to

pregnant women. The quote for the book by early twenty twenty one was clear that not one pregnant woman should have ever been given a COVID nineteen vaccine. Every mother in the United States should be outraged, yet the silence is deafening due to medical censorship. So but I subscribed. He's witnessed the carnage that was doing two fetuses on a daily basis first and documented in a bunch of

published papers that I mentioned a moment ago. Spoke with media platforms and insentate hearings, got fired, got fired for speaking the truth without any cause. So he's been on a tirade and he wrote a book about all of the problems that he faced and what he discovered about COVID nineteen. But I think he was physician for like forty years, but obstetric obstetrician gynecologists and maternal fetal medicine physicians.

So just because he didn't show up on the program doesn't mean I'm not going to recommend the book to you. It's they called Sacrifice, How the deadliest vaccine in history targeted the most vulnerable. Joe Strecker and I were having to laugh there at the top of the hour news because in the morning, when I started out the program, you know, I guess I was happy that Israel Hamas had entered into some form of agreement, some cease fire deal,

get the hostages back. I know, the Palestinians, a lot of them are going to be released under the terms of the deal. And Joe and I both expressed some well cynicism, little maybe lack of a belief that this would actually work, and that Joe predicted that Hamas would probably launch a rocket probably by Tuesday. He said, they take Martin Luther King day off. But we didn't really have a whole lot of faith that this thing was

going to last. And lo and behold you heard at the top of the ur news Hamas is already backing away from some of the terms and conditions. So, whether Trump was influential and instrumental, as it was widely reported he was in negotiating this deal, it seems to be

falling apart before the ink is even dry. So I can laugh sort of kind of on that sort of anyway, we're talking with Senator A and Paul earlier about whether or not funds allocated by the federal government need actually be spent in the context of hearing the other day on one of Trump's cabinet picks, who was of the mind that no, Trump needn't spend the money even if it's allocated, for example, if he can find a cheaper source to perform whatever work that money was allocated for.

So we followed through an outline that during my conversation with Senator ram public you can find a fifty five krse dot com. That's but all in the name of not spending as much. You know, we're in kind of desperate times here with the runaway spending in Congress, and you know, lo and beholders. A report released by the House Oversight and Accountability Committee just yesterday about federal telework policies, and here's another place where we can cut some expenses.

They accused the Biden administration of prioritizing union demands over taxpayer interest, wasting billions of dollars on under utilized office space. Now, the federal government already owned so much property it couldn't even keep track of. But before remember there are maintenance and upkeep obligations that go along with that, and that's

part of the line items in our budget every year. Now, I don't know if they actually do the work to maintain and upkeep all these buildings, much in the same way we know the City of Cincinnati doesn't do the work to maintain and upkeep the roads, and yet there's still funds allocated for But beyond that thirty page report slamming the continuation of all this work for home arrangements, leaving the offices completely endy empty, yet in the of

maintenance and upkeep. Obviously, COVID nineteen caused this and justified, or at least on paper, allowing people to work from home. But according to the report that Biden Harrison administration has seated too much authority to federal union bosses, allowing their preference to work from home to take precedence over fulfilling agencies,

mission and serving American people. The report shows of the two point two eight million federal civilian employees, get your head around that number, two hundred and twenty eight thousand of them are never required to report to the office. One point one million are eligible for telework. They spent an average only three days per week in the office. Healthy Human Services Remote for workforce group from only two percent twenty nineteen to twenty nine percent. Last year, GSA

remote workforce jump from six percent to fifty percent. Department of Education, you know they never go to go to work, right when from two people were two percent working remotely up to fifty five percent. I think those are the ones that wanted school closures to continued because of COVID long after the threat was passed, and in spite of the fact that it didn't pose a big threat to children in the first place. So in the highlight INDUS

report all this unused office space. The Government Accountability Office study from twenty twenty three found that seventeen of the twenty four federal agencies used, on average, an estimated twenty five percent or less of the capacity of their headquarter buildings. That's a lot of empty space. Some agencies report occupancy rates of their buildings as low as nine percent, while the federal government spends approximately seven billion annually to lease

and maintain office spaces. So if you're looking for places to cut and you're looking for some sensibility, if they're going to continue working remotely and I doubt that they're actually getting their job done, let's just assume for the sake of argument that whatever it is they've been hired to do is actually getting done at home. How about you start consolidating some of these various office buildings. You're only using nine percent of one and the other one's

only using twenty five percent. Seems to me you can take the nine percent of the one building and consolidated with the other one, freeing up the need to lease and pay for maintenance and upkeep, sell the property. Come up with another arrangement. There's a better way of doing business. And I know Trump is all about moving a lot of these these agencies out of Washington, d C. And bully for him. Get them away from the pollution, get

them away the lobbying pollution. I'm talking about the political pollution that is just rampant in Washington, d C. Thus, Swamp make a move out into rural areas or places where the population isn't so batcrap leftists. Now, I doubt that they would pack their bags and move to any area of the country, the flyover country that they so loathe. But at least it give us a great opportunity to try the experiment. There's no reason all these agencies need to be stacked up on top of each other in

that well what I could characterize as infected community. Let's see what Edwin's got this morning. Edwin, thanks for calling the morning show. Good to hear from you.

of what he did to a woman. But it almost seems like it's a prerequisite to get into government or something on their side of course, So what I'm to just show him the secret handshake and let him in. I mean, he's done a straightened things out once he gets in there, and I see nothing but good things coming with this new administration coming in.

He seems to have worked things out. But see, they think they can get away with it. But this is twenty twenty five. Our societal norms have changed dramatically over the past twenty thirty years. Where Republicans used to, you know, sort of have this evangelical superiority about him. You know, we're better than that. We're not sinful, and you know, we believe in God and the Bible and wave it

around and make accusations about people who were unfaithful. But you know that always comes back to bite you, because, let's face it, people are well capable of failure. They do make mistakes, and it does happen. And just because you stand behind this high and mighty approach doesn't mean you're all united in actually walking the walk while you're

talking to talk. So the Democrats would get away with it, as you know, pointing the finger saying you guys are a bunch of hypocrites, look at this and hold you out as an example. But again, fast forward to twenty twenty five. None of this comes as a surprise to anybody, and it's well documented. Over the course of our nation's history,

presidents have not always been really that faithful either. John F. Kennedy widely regarded as a swinging you know what, I think LBJ was too, But I mean, you can go on and on Bill Clinton. I mean he got caught sort of red handed, if you want to call it that way, and it ended up resulting in an impeachment because he lied to the FBI. He lied to us about marital infidelity. And look, he's still married to Hillary Clinton. And as so far as getting drunk, what are the drunken? Say?

I mean, wow, double standard, double standard five point three seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight to two three ta pound five fifty on AT and T phones.

And I just I don't get. I just I don't did you feel like when you watch a replay? I mean, I don't think he fully grasped the fact that A he wasn't the candidate anymore, and B even though he wasn't the candidate, his ideas and his administration through Kamala

was completely rejected by the voters and they lost. And he was still spreading the same bs during the speech, seventeen million new jobs. You know, need we dissect that further.

like to, but sometimes you can. And if you are a pilot and you and I are, you know, tooling down the runway and we're about to take off and we hit something, Well, then the first thing that we need to do if we can, is stop the aircraft and get it back so that the mechanics can look at it, because you know, if you hit anything, it

could cause problems structurally damaging the aircraft. But you're also worried about were there were anythings there that might have impacted the hydraulics that would have interfered with their ability to control the airplane. So it happens, and we have about three hundred thousand reports of wildlife strakes a year or I'm sorry, that would be between I think the last several decades, nineteen ninety in present. So it happens

all the time. Most of the birds that you can't control where they're at most, Yeah, but sometimes you have wildlife that makes its way onto you know, we frequently had alligators coming out and stunning themselves on runways.

just knew to shut the airport down. And it was and I'm like, wait a minute, it's like these person got to watch or something and every day and it pretty much was. And so it's stuff that impacts commercial aviation on pretty much an ongoing basis.

measures of investing. In other words, you got to go with companies that pursue this environmental Social governments governance, and that ultimately resulted in harm to the pension fund because those things weren't giving a good return on investments, so they violated their fiduciary obligation. Big win for the employees there and for common sense.

to be losing money instead of making money. So I finally get to the point where it's like, yes, we want to help save the planet any way we can, but our primary obligation is to make money. So it's a lot like these companies that establish these woke policies thinking this is going to help define us, show the world who we are, and kind of help push us in this direction. When you turn and then find out that the majority of your consumers are not for that.

They want equal opportunity. They want the best person in whatever job it might happen to be, regardless of what's going on, and they go elsewhere. And how many companies have we seen back off of those those policies because they just blew up in their face. If it's a Budweiser, if it's a Disney, whoever it might happen to be, it doesn't matter the ideas they play, follow the leader in that kind of direction, and then they find out, you know, the rest of the country is not really

following us here. Yeah, well we never were. But somebody convinced these the people at leadership, that this was going to be a good idea because this is really going

to establish things. It's a lot like in the European Union a number of years ago they polled individuals, would you pay an extra amount of money every time you fly to help offset the carbon imprint that the airline industry has on commercial aviation which around the world, which is again single digits, It's minuscule compared to other industries.

But yo, yeah, seventy eight eighty percent. Absolutely. I will and Brian when they were given that opportunity to do so, less than three percent actually did pay more.

If you're a pilot and you hear someone that you know went to a great amount of effort to become a pilot, it's normally a great expense or time to achieve that, and then to have it thrown away by a decision like that is you know, it's unfortunate. I thank god it was caught before you know, the airplane took off. I don't know if it was reported by the TSA, which happens a lot. The TSA officers, even though we call them officers, they have no law enforcement,

you know, powers at all. So what happens is when they observe someone that appears to be under the influence it's a crew member, they will quietly notify airport police who'll investigate to see if anything's going on. It maybe somebody's having a reaction to some medication that just got changed or something like that that it causes them to appear to be maybe a bit ineberator intoxicated to a

be allowed to do that. And I can tell you, Brian, no other industry or no other administration has applied this kind of pressure. And it reminded me of the passing of Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter was looked at as an absolute failure as president, but he was also the man of fact. If you go back and look at his January nineteen seventy eight State of the Union, you would think it's a Republican president talking when you hear him say there's too much government in business.

glad Joe Biden is on his way out. I did not want that administration at all, but I do wish other administrations would take this kind of lead and hold airlines accountable, because for the first time in a long time, they've been doing it and making the airlines pay when they do these kinds of things such as chronically delayed flights.
