Anyhow, I love hearing from you, whether you've got a call or not, so feel free to call the Morning Show today five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two three talk down five fifty on AT and T phones, and of course, as always, remember fifty five care Sea dot com. When you cannot listen

live you want to hear it again. Judge Nita Polaitano Biden's lust for war yesterday A nice sort of continuing conversation from the conversation I had with Daniel Davis the prior day, which you can also find a fifty five care sea dot com on the deteriorating situation going on in Ukraine and Russia. I State Representative Jennifer Groszer in the program yesterday. She returned to talk about the Ohio vote for news Speaker, which we've got now apparently unanimous decision.

what was then I guess, Paul Brown Stadium. And you're all promised, and oh, we swear to God up and down, you're gonna get a property tax roll back.

as I damn well feel like it anyhow. Fifty five Casey dot com for all the details, and remember tonight's

tonight for the Elvis thing. Empower Youamerica dot org is where you log in for that a show with two twenty five North and Boulevard and enjoy a nice conversation, some more dervs, some food and entertainment from a live band featuring in Elvis impersonator if you are so inclined, that's going on tonight starting at six point thirty, and you can get details again empower Youoamerica dot org or fifty five cars dot com. I think there's a link up there on my blog page for that one as well.

Whatever coming up in the fifty five cars see Morning Show, The Return of Donovan and Neo Americans, Prosperity, High State Senate Leader and Speaker. Again we're talking about that looks like the dust is settled in No Blue twenty two things going on at least thus far, although I understand there's another step in the process which could lead them out to some weird results, but it's unlikely to happen now. Bob wetter or mister Humanitarian and Solf returns at seven

fifty to talk about the wish Tree. It's that time of year. Wish trees are up all over the place. Get yourself one of the ornaments off the wish tree and make some under well someone living on life's margins, someone who is.

first Wednesday of December at Pricel Chili. I feel very confident I'll find out today if Bob's going to be there dressed as Santa Claus, which he does every single year, of course, to promote.

Southwest Airlines playing in Dallas struck by gunfire. I brought that up the other day because to scare the living hell out of me. It's one thing if it happens in Haiti, where there is like constant civil unrest. It has been a deplorable state of reality in Haiti for as long as my lifetime and longer. Go ahead and blame colonization or whatever. They have never been able to get their act together in Haiti, and it continues to be a deteriorating situation, overrun by gangs and mob rule.

Literally anarchy, at least a form of it. So I can understand on some level that a plane might get shot, but when it happens to Dallas, that really worries me. Flight canceled and out of service for days after one hundred and thirty hamsters escape. That's coming up at eight to thirty. You got to wait around for that. If you can't listen live, remember to go to fifty five KRCI dot com where they'll get your heart media app.

I don't know nothing about Richard Gere in the little summary that I have on my rundown Joe perhaps having something to do with the flight cancelation. Oh you mean the Hamster. There's a connection with the hamsters. Oh, oh yeah, I do remember something about that when I was a young person. I wonder how many people might listening audience have any idea what you just brought up, Joe, you think most of them do?

proposals from the county administration. However, taxpayers could get even more. Two of the three Hemilton County commissioners expressed the desire to give back the full amount promised thirty years ago. Wow, wait for it, it may come. Commissioners apparently going to be voting today on what we the property tax owners

in Hamilton County are going to get. We could, or rather would get a rebate of sixty two dollars and fifty cents per one hundred thousand dollars of property, which is a one hundred and fifteen percent increase from this year when we actually got thirty one dollars and forty

five cents per one hundred thousand. Increased property values, of course, led to the higher proposal, cording of the Hamilton County spokes when bridget A Daugherty against speaking with the Inquirer, with the county commissioners in twenty twenty three approved this year's rebate, they estimated the value would be forty three dollars and seventy cents per one hundred thous actually amount ended up being less because of the soaring property values,

which seems counterintuitive to me. Property tax rebate percentages based on the total sales tax revenue, meaning the larger the overall property value, the smaller amount for each property owner, which to me just translated to this is a promise that was made thirty decades ago. Whatever the amount is, how come we don't get it all back as we

were promised originally? Anyway, we should get one hundred and six dollars almost one hundred and seven dollars per one hundred grand if the commissioners gave the full stadium sales tax rebate that was promised thirty years ago. And thank you Scott Wartman from the EDGUAR for reminding your readers that prior to voters approving the half cent sales tax that paid for that monstrosity that is paying now pay Course Stadium, and of course the Great American Ballpark, which

I approve of more than pay Corpse Stadium. Beyond that, heven kind of commissioners pledged the rebate to taxpayers thirty percent of the sales tax proceeds every year, but it was not written down. It was just a promise from politicians. So sucks to be you. That's why we haven't gotten

the full rebate as originally promised. Don't vote for something unless it's written down and in writing, formalized and guaranteed, so le action can be brought if they fail to make good on the promises that they've made to us. Any year, let's see year sales tax revenue from the first thirteen years between nineteen ninety seven and twenty ten made enough money to give back the full amount and

cover the obligations on the two stadiums. However, we've only received the full thirty percent back three times since twenty eleven. Now here's the only reason I kind of want to dwell on this. And folks outside Hamlin County area like, wait, we don't care about this, Yeah you do. You know why.

It's the point that's brought up in the article. So that this budget hearing earlier this week was on Tuesday, Commissioner Stephanie Summer Dumas and Alisha Reese, we're talking about giving back the full thirty percent, which, of course, again it was promised to us thirty years ago. She apparently Alisha Reese has been advocating for a long time for a full thirty percent, and good for her plans on

introducing this resolution today for the full rebate. Now she's done this before and again props to her, Well you haven't gotten at least she's made the effort now for her part, Stephanie Dumas asked the administration to look at using are you ready people outside of Hamilton County as well as in using federal pandemic relief dollars that the county still has to give back the full thirty percent, saying and I quote, it would be really I would be really excited about that. It has said many times

people are struggling and everything is going up. What the hell see, I've gone back to this COVID relief money that just literally trillions that I have chucked out into

the world. You know, what it was was a simple ability for cities all around the United States to take taxpayer dollars from the four core owners of the United States, people that had nothing to do with running up massive deficits, massive pension liabilities, massive promises from government, massive huge holes in fiscal budgets that these left wing Democrat cities, with all their promises and all their showering of gifts down on literally everybody, they dug themselves a hole they could

never get out of. And lo and behold, COVID comes along. Oh my god, We've got to throw money at literally everything under the sun. Magically, all these different projects get funded. We're using COVID relief money, We're using COVID relief money, We're using pandemic relief money. Federal pandemic relief dollars are going to give the Hamilton County voters who paid for a damned stadium on the promise that we get the

money back from local government. No, it took somebody in Poughkeepsie, Iowa, as I pick as a random city in America, taxpayer dollars from them through the federal government, through the creation of pandemic relief dollars that flowed down like a man of from heaven on every city to pay off the damn stadium and give us the credit that we were

promised decades ago. That should piss everyone off. It clearly does me, and I wonder if they'd even be having this discussion today, the Hamilin County commissioners if there weren't federal pandemic dollars left over five nineteen right now, if you five krcity talk station, feel free to call chime in. You can feel free to vent your splining this morning. I'm open for it regardless, So hope you can stick around. Be right back.

along the road. Tomorrow, winter remix in the morning, light rain afterwards, and I have forty three overnight down to thirty seven with mostly cloudy skies and on Saturday, mostly clouds during the day in a high up fifty Right now, it's forty degrees. If you give out a KERCB talk.

Not a huge fan, and what an idiot, but you know, you open your mouth and say what you wanted your own when you're all right whatever. Anyway, Ellen DeGeneres has left. She has fled to England as a consequence of the presidential electional there's some said she was already there anyway, kicked out of show business basically for being a pretty much genuine jerk in terms of her workplace environment on her prior television shoe. She and her wife Portia de

Rossi have moved to rural England. So there's one down and then moving over. Jaguar, Jaguar struggling mightily, you know, in terms of the world of automobiles. I always kind of liked the look of Jags, but they came along with a pretty terrible reputation. Catching on fire was one of them. I had a friend who's actually a fraternity brother Order for Brother, owned a couple of Jaguars. Both

of them burned up completely internal combustion other spontaneous combustion. Anyway, they debuted a brand new advertising, failing to learn from the mistakes of bud Light and getting a lot of backlash on social media under the slogan copy nothing to thirty second video featuring androgynist models, including a guy in a skirt, promoting the next generation of electric vehicles. Maybe it goes hand in hand with EVS. You draw your own conclusions on that men wearing skirts drive evs. That's

a takeaway. Is that the target market?

idiot running around telling you nothing about the product they're selling. Okay, now you've got a bunch of I don't know, transgender, androgyness whatever I mean. You can't even draw a conclusion to whether the men or women dressed in these bright, flowing colors trying to push you to call up or go to your Jaguar dealership to get one of their brand new evs. How does this work? Am I that

old that I don't understand marketing these days? Or am I just maybe too common sense to think if you're trying to sell a product, you might want to point to its features. It's the blessings of owning one why it's important that you might want to choose a Jackaguar electric vehicle over one of the multitude of other ones that exist out in the world. Now we got half a dozen weird looking people just in flowing robes, waving at the camera telling you, well, create exuberant, live, vivid,

delete ordinary break molds. I'm gonna guess this won't work out very well for Jaguar. Not my problem wasn't in the market for one in the first place. But I gotta say, over the years at least from the body and the look of the cars. They've made some pretty cool cars over the years. Six six Cam is on the line. Hang on, Cam, I'd love to talk to you, but I'm out of time in this segment. Just looked up at the clock as I am a little late. I'll be right back though.

at pointing things out. So I'm glad you're in good health and you have a good day, sir.

take you to your house built? You you get a hurricane that comes through, wipes everything out, it's gone history, and you're in a rural environment, and you're surrounded by other homeowners, well former homeowners, people who've been impacted by disaster. Everything's wiped out. How many contractors will it take to address the needs of those people, and how many of those people actually have the financial means to have their homes repaired?

How many people had flood insurance. I mean in the mountains of around ash North Carolina, some of those beautiful country in the United States of America. I did one of my favorite memories in my life, the motorcycle trips. My uncle and I used to take.

flood insurance. Now, look how high up you are, man, Well, I'll tell you it happens. Those people are without. And that's where FEMA is supposed to step up to the plate and really help provide for disaster where disaster hits, in disaster in a way that you really can't imagine planning ahead.

so many people were and ignored. I mean, how many reports we read about Femis showing up with a seven hundred and fifty dollars check. Meanwhile, with twenty million illegal immigrants having stormed the gates of our southern end, even northern borders of the past four, five, six, seven, eight and years, they get to live in luxury hotels, they get snap cards or whatever. They're fed their clothes, they're sheltered.

These schools are overwhelmed with brand new kids that come in and overwhelm resources that your taxpayer dollars are covering. They can't speak English, meaning that while we're all directed at trying to manage that dealing with the volume of children alone, trying to manage trying to teach them, while your kids are like sending in the corner going well, wait a minute, what about me? I thought I was

supposed to be learning mathematics today or something. I mean, the world's upside down, it's turned on top of its head. Please don't forget about those folks, the extent you can help out, because clearly this is the time when you have to realize and I think it's an important point to make here, most notably with regard to FEMA. There's a finite amount that government can accomplish on any subject matter.

But if you're thinking that government is going to be the one provider for you, that is the fail safe that exists out there, that will just cover you in all times, will satisfy your needs in the worst possible times. I got a bridge. I want to sell you five point thirty six fifty five krs. The talk stations stick around plenty more talking about stack. It's stupid coming up Otherwise,

phone calls. I'd love to hear from you if you have a comment, so feel free to do that, but stick around right back after the news.

tough on crime. Just trek are print out like five pages of arraignments in bond hearings, and all these liberal judges strangle somebody and get an own recognizance, bond, possessing of weapons on a disability, felonious assault, breaking and entering own recognizance, unrecognizance, own recognizance. Unrecognizance therein lives one of the problems inherent in the system. Yes, you voted for that. Thank you for calling this morning. Welcome in the Morning Show.

believe crazy things because nobody dares challenge them. Here's the fundamental problem, boiled down for your particular point is everybody in the media has just embraced this nonsense. Going back to you, if it walks like a duck, if it looks like a duck, it's a damn duck. Look down. Is there a male genitalia present right there?

enabled this. The loudest, squeakiest wheels get the grease, and my friend and we have been dominated by the loudest, squeaky wheels from the farthest left corners of the political and I might underscore social spectrum for so long now that nobody will challenge it. You, sir, just challenged it. And as far as I'm concerned, you make a valid point. Now do I care that that elected official believes that

he is as she? No, I don't care. But you see what's happened because of her his individual belief systems. We now have a fundamental problem that's intersected with normal social reality, which is X and Y chromosomes and acts and X. You have well, see this is the time

when I run into sec compliance problems. You have the concept and Christopher Smithman brought this up, believe because he's concerned about his daughter and maybe illegal rants murdering our You have the idea that an eight year old it's going to be in a bathroom and some forty five year old man who believes that he is a woman.

I understand and believe in chromosomal reality. But I also understand we live in a world filled with a diverse group of different people. That's the beauty of living in America. Judy Carre, fireplace stove, got to take care of right now, your safety, think safety. Ah, today's a day wintertime descending upon us. We're gonna get some snow, it's gonna be slick out there, it's gonna be cold. You're gonna want to light a fire, and you're gonna want to enjoy

the beautiful warmth and glow of the fire. But did you take care of your safety yet? That's what chimney Care, fireplace and stove it was all about comfort and safety is to think safety first before you enjoy the comfort, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind knowing that you don't have a carbon monoxide problem. You don't have a well, my chimney is on fire problem because you failed to get your chimney swept on a regular basis,

get it inspected from the professionals. A chimney Care fireplace and still the best in the business, been around since nineteen eighty eight award winners across the board, A plus the Better Business Bureau and well maybe even prevented my house from burning to the ground. I would like to point that out. I got the inspection many years ago. Found out the old firebox I got when I built the house was a builder spsil, cheap garbage thing, and he had the event problem, meaning heat was building up

behind it whenever I used it. Gas it is, but it's still represented a fire hazard. So out with the old, in with the new. Architecturally much more beautiful ties the room together quite nicely and technologically off the charts advance. I absolutely love it. Maybe you've got a wood burner. They have in search for wood burners. You can get

a self feeding wood waste pellet stove installed. Have it installed now, enjoy it all winter long, but at least have the inspection, and while they're there, have your dryer event cleaned out. Ask yourself a question, when's the last time my dry event was cleaned out? If you can't answer that question, I guarantee you it needs to be cleaned out. You're paying too much to dry your clothes.

It takes longer to do it when the dryer's clogged, and you also have that carbon monoxide and potential fire hazard issues, so haven't take care of that as well.

have a problem with that conceptually. The broader problem exists when we are there operating the arms and the armaments and launching offensive action into the invading country that makes us a party to the war, and when that other side, in this case Russia, has nuclear weapons, it creates a

bit of an existential problem for the United States. I like to have an outlining policy up front, But the biggest problem I see with this escalation going on in Ukraine is that we're there in country on the ground, operating these longer range missiles and dropping them into a nuclear power country or a nuclear weapons owning country. Somebody can figure out the reality on the ground over there and come up with a solution.

loose cannon when it comes to those things. You really don't know quite what Donald Trump's gonna do, and that seemed to have worked for him during the four years he was president of the United States. We'll see what the next four brings us New Hampshire, Gary, Hang on, brother, if you don't mind holding over the break. I'm looking forward to having you back on the show. I got a break though.

Get an ornament off of one of the wist trees are at located, They're at businesses and all over town. Thanks to the efforts of Bob and those involved in the Wist Tree. There are folks out there on life's margins that would really truly enjoy a nice little gift, and many of them just kind of regular items that

you and I take for granted. So find an ornament, grab it by the gift and bring it back to wherever you got the ornament from, or get in touch with the Wis Tree.

so they think. Second second thing is I was on listening to your Ukraine gentleman, who was talking about Ukraine and the missiles and it's just so happened. I pulled up Thomas Massey on x and it seems like just yesterday the Biden administration proposed HJ Resolution two twenty four, which they're trying to gift four point six five billion dollars worth of debt to the Ukraine. So that's taxpayer. So it's the first entry on Thomas Matsey on his ex on Twitter.

In other words, one of our enemies, either from an economic standpoint or literally from a war standpoint, selling weaponry to that particular country might be a good thing, and why not allow them to defend themselves, Like I believe in the Second Amendment. Right, I don't care whether Republican or Democrat, is a communist or whatever. You should have the right to buy and keep and bear arms for your own personal defense whatever.

And go back even further and ask yourself, wait a second, what's the point of this exercise?

in San Francisco and a bunch of left wing, nonsensical policies. Please, Dear God, let me out. Fortunately, we have the bit in freedom to travel in this country. But I imagine there's so many impoverished Ukrainians out there that still sympathize with the Russians. They can't get out. They are where they are, They've been their generation after generation, and yet their whole political climate has changed over the years. World

War two have to kick in. You had World War One to deal with you, the division of all those different countries into at Yalta, where FDR sold out much of Eastern Europe. I mean, the world's a complicated place. There are no simple solutions, But I want to know what our goal? What is our policy objective? What in the hell are we hoping to accomplish by throwing billions of dollars of American taxpayer money when we're already thirty four trillion dollars in the hall at a war?

made a decision about JD. Van's replacement? See what I'm saying. I'm concerned about my own state right now, and we can't even take care of it.

going on in Columbus, Ohio for years now. You think it'll be simple to solve the problems along a more conservative, you know philosophy, which is what Republicans typically offer, you know, smaller government, cracking down on illegal behavior, dealing with these challenges, you'd expect the craziness from left wingers, but that's not

what we've elected in Ohio. We've been a red state for a long time, and yet, as you point out, we are faced with multiple problems that they should and could be dealing with, and yet they don't know.

could be dealt with. However, you have a challenge of the federal government and the challenge of woke blue cities who refuse to cooperate with our federal authorities to get rid of people who are not here legally. Challenged by and interrupted by the reality that federal law governs immigration, meaning states have little control over what the federal government does.

And when Joe Biden implements a policy to literally fly people from their home countries into our countries with the stamp of legality attached with it, they're no longer in the country illegally. Ergo, you have no ability to eject them from the country because they have been declared here legally, maybe extra extra legally or beyond the legitimacy of the power that they have to do that. But nonetheless, that's

the reality that we have facing us right now. States have tried and tried and tried year after year to deal with the immigration problem, always to be met by the reality that shows up in courts, which is, hey, immigration is a federal issue. You got no control over it. It's not a state governed issue. It's like abortion. It's a state issue now. It was a federal thing under Roe v. Wade, but now it's a state issue. Pissing off always half of the people and appeasing the other

half of the people. I mean, it's easy to just identify the problems, but when you run into the realities we face, legally, technically, politically, it becomes a hell of a lot bigger issue and a hell of a lot more complicated, so much so that well, naming a replacement for jd Vance is not going to solve the problem. I hear your frustration, and I share it. That's one

of the problems of living in this republic. It takes time, and quite often our elected officials are not interested in solving what you and I see in front of our faces as real time, easily fixable problems. Six seventeen I fifty five K see the talk station. Your hip pain, You any pain you're joint pain, maybe not easily fixable.

You've been probably dealing with doctors if you have hip, knee and chronic pain from arthritis or injury, and you know you've been down the road to steroids, and you've been down the road to pain pills, and then your doctor says, hey, how about surgery, and you're going, man, I don't want to deal with that the recovery time, the idea of getting a replacement. Is there anything I can possibly do?

Find out if you are a good candidate. Avoid the surgery. At least give it a shot. Call them up for a free consultation.

secure world. Our military is ill equipped to even deal with its own issues like protecting Americans from threats both foreign and abroad. I mean, the litany in the list is long, and the suffering of people is huge, and the incompetence of government has been demonstrated over and over again over the last several years. So it's a great

springboard for Trump to actually accomplish something really great. That's why I keep looking with just perhaps overwhelming and ridiculous positivity that this independent DOGE agency is going to be able to accomplish something like getting rid of so much of the bloat and fraud, wasted abuse in government. The stage has been set to get it done thanks to the last three and a half, coming on four years, you and.

things were pretty darn good. But if you had gotten Harris Walls, they managed to go through more than one billion dollars of campaign money in a little more than one hundred days, so we know that money was going to be being spent hand over fist was in office, so that was just a little sampling of what you might get. Massive spending. Apparently her campaign, even though they espouse man made climate change, they were flying private jets

all around. I mean, you don't want to get on a commercial jet where you have to, you know, sit with ordinary people, and you know, why not put an airplane in the sky that was sitting on the ground so you can dump more carbon in the atmosphere so they you know, plus you get celebrity endorsements and we find out apparently, like if I was running for office and I wanted Brian Thomas to endorse me, and you did, and it turned out I was paying you for that endorsement.

That's really kind of shallow and kind of dirty, isn't it unethical?

it's not being controlled by government. I mean that we're aware of that. That's what this election was all about. That's why with the call her earlier, I said. Read the op ed piece from John Masco in Today's journal. Shy conservatives keep the left in its bubble. Otherwise, reasonable people believe crazy things because nobody dares challenge them.

You can't change my world, can't change the world around me, but you can believe it. I'll let you believe it. Go ahead, But otherwise, reasonable people don't want to see, you know, Haerrol said a penis in the women's restroom for a multitude of reasons. That's a reasonable position to have.

Where have all the reasonable people been for the last four plus years, challenging this ridiculous left wing notion that we're supposed to accept that that person with a penis is a woman?

And here we are bending over backwards, cutting our own throats, making your own electricity bills go through the roof, limiting our opportunities and our financial abilities by well just embracing it because some dude set it. Ah, it's frustrating some days and I bet I've lost a lot of people that otherwise would have been friends with me over the years because

I say what's on my mind. I say what I believe, and I welcome the opportunity to engage in a discussion about it. I just don't want to talk to someone who's simply gonna yell at me and call me name because that's not debate, folks, and I will not cower before someone who wants to yell at me and call me names. Is not going to change my opinion. That's not debate. Debate may bring about a change in mindset, or a change in thought, or a change in philosophy.

we polluted the world. We have benzene dumped into the ground directly by manufacturing facilities that didn't have a concept about how to take care of the environment. We need to clean this up. We got hot spots, we got

brown fields. We need to clean this up. The only way you can clean it up is because, well, you've got money, and plus technology has evolved over the years where you don't have to have a city surrounded by all that pollution, which is where these global warming advocates are so well, that's why wealthy countries need to sacrifice themselves.

They need to cut back on their spending and their consumption and give the money to these third world countries so they don't have to live in an environment that you can't see three feet in front of their face. Although after saying all of that, I remember flying into Oakland Airport out in California to go to a legal seminar with my wife. I couldn't see across the street. And that was within my lifetime. So you know, there are areas of the world where that just does happen.

Energy's gone

through the roof. Hey, look we're talking about global warming again and sacrifice and raising the price of energy for the whatever reason. It's going up. You are not going to avoid that reality. The price of energy has gone through the roof and it continues to go up. So how about getting in front of that. Getting your home insulated with the USA's premium phone and at only ninety nine dollars a month with no interest, that's interest free. You can cover the nut and it's like maybe sacrifice

When your home is under insulated. You're just paying too much to heat and air conditioning. So let's move away from that. Get the phone in the exterior walls. It's the highest r value on the market.

event at the alleged event. How Ethics Committee yesterday said they will not release the report on this alleged misconduct by Gates. But you know, many observing that given the accusations and the gravity of the accusations, it's going to continue. And these rumors, allegations in any wind who are going to continue to swirl and the Senate who's going to be responsible for approving or not, has the right to demand to see the report before confirming his nomination. Now,

the ethics media yesterday held in private. Everybody's waiting around to find out what there was, and the chairman, Michael Guest Republicans, there was no agreement by the committee to release the report. Susan Wilde, on behalf of the Democrats, said there was no consensus, but that the committee agreed to reconvene in a.

rolled out and given to everybody's attention. Law and behold, after all that time, we finally found out it was filled with lies. It took some time, but the truth ultimately came out. Now, Gates quit Congress immediately after Trump announced his nomination, so that normally you know when someone quits the idea is that, well, they quit in the face of these, you know, damning allegations, and so we're not going to release them. They're out of our way,

they're out of office, they have moved on. So this is sort of different. He quit because he's being elevated, and then the Senate must must do its due diligence and consider whether this person is qualified and appropriate to do the job.

the background on this. Allegations come out of the woodwork about elected officials and other popular celebrities only for the benefit of that individual's salacious details. Oh my god, get a payoff and move away. Happened to Trump at gazillion time. Some of it may be true, some not. It's all lost in the blur, and there's an opportunity here for lawyers and for individuals to make claims. It may not be true, but this was investigated behind the scenes, of course,

and that's what this report is all about. And wouldn't you want it. The other one testified the according to the attorney, that in twenty seventeen, at this house party, that she was walking out of the pool area, she looked to her right and saw Gates having sex with her friend, who was seventeen. The news reports say this is corroborated by the then minor in an account. So there's something to see here, and whether or not it's been true and it was him or not is worth

looking into. We're talking about a high level appointment here. Now he's denied it and he's entitled to do process. Of course, Justice Department looked into it, but didn't bring criminal charges. Trump of course standing by them calling these allegations baseless. But an ethics inquiry is not a witch hunt, is the journal observe, and I agree with that is the normal process when a lawmaker is accused of misconduct and the attorney general is the nation's highest law enforcement official.

We're making responsible for making tough calls on all kinds of things, and you don't want someone saddle with a bunch of baggage. It might come out later if he is indeed appointed, that find out, well, this is real, this is true. That is going to be a dark stain on the Trump administration right out of the gate.

So maybe he wasn't the best possible choice here, but I like the sun a disinfectant, and the Senate's going to ultimately end up, you know, releasing this now flipping over to this somebody who sort of kind of agrees with me on some level on this, Marjorie Taylor Green screaming at her GOP colleagues yesterday for having asking for this report to be put out posted on X. Colleagues in the House and Senate, we're going to release ethics support and rip apart people from their party that President

elect Donald Trump is selected to be in his cabinet. They are, then they should put it all out there. Quote from my Republican colleagues in the House and Senate. If we are going to release the ethics report and rip apart our own that Trump is appointed, then put

it all out there for the American people to see. Yes, all the ethics reports and claims, including the one that I filed, all your sexual harassment and assault claims that were secretly settled paying off victim with taxpayer money, the entire Jeffrey Epstein files, tapes, recordings, witness interviews.

straight from the horse's mouth. And one of the reasons I'm excited about Trump's election a variety of reasons, not the least of which it isn't Kamala Harris running our country or reporting to It's this whole doge thing. I'm excited about this. This to reduce the size of the scope of government would being brought to you by Elon Musk and Viva Gramma swimming open letter on why and what they're going to do, and you can report yourself.

Elon Musk and Vive Gramaswami, the doge plan to reform government, and they both write together an open lid to you, telling you what they're planning on doing. And this is why I'm excited. And I sure as hell hope that I don't look back and say my excitement and my positivity has been misplaced. Our nation was found on the basic idea that the people we elect run the government.

That isn't how America functions today. Most legal edicts aren't laws enacted by Congress, but rules and regulations promulgated by unelected bureaucrats, tens of thousands of them each year. Most government enforcement decisions and discretionary expenditures are into made by the democratically elected president or even his political appointees, but by millions of unelected, unappointed civil servants with government agencies who view themselves as immune from firing thanks to civil

service protections. This is anti democratic and antithetical to the founder's vision. It imposes massive direct and indirect costs on taxpayers, and thankfully, we have a historic opportunity to solve the problem. On November fifth, voters decisively elected Donald Trump with a mandate for sweeping change, and they deserve to get it. President Trump has asked the two of US to lead the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE, to

cut the federal government down to size. The entrenched and ever growing bureaucracy represents an existential threat to our Republican politicians have abtedit for too long. That's why we're doing things differently. We are entrepreneurs, not politicians. We will serve as outside volunteers, not federal officials or employees, and unlike government commissions or advisory committees, we won't just write reports

or cut ribbons, will cut costs. We are assisting the Trump transition seem to identify and hire a lean team of small government crusaders, including some of the sharpest technical and legal minds in America. This team will work in the new administration closely with the White House Office of Management and Budget. The two of US will advise DOGE at every step to pursue the three major kinds of

reform regulatory recisions, administrative reductions, and cost savings. We will focus particularly on driving change through executive action based on existing legislation, rather than bypassing new laws. Our north star for reform will be the US Constitution, with a focus on two critical Supreme Court rulings issued during Biden's tenure.

One of my favorites personally, in West Virginia versus Environmental Protection Agency, the justices hells that agencies can't impose regulations dealing with major economic or policy questions unless Congress specifically authorizes them to do so. The other great case in Loper Bright versus Riamanda, the Court overturned the Chevron doctrine and how that federal courts should no longer defer to

federal agencies interpretations of law or their own rulemaking authority. Together, these cases suggest a plethora of current federal regulations exceed the authority that Congress is granted under the law. That is so true, Dose will work with legal experts embedded in government agencies, aided by advanced technology, to apply these

rulings to federal regulations enacted by such agencies. Doge will present this list of regulations of President Trump, who can, by executive action, immediately applause or pause the enforcement of those regulations, and initiated process for review and recision. This would liberate individuals and businesses from illicit regulations never passed

by Congress and stimulate the US economy. When the President nullifies thousands of such regulations, critics will will argue or allege executive overreachs.

the Supreme Court's recent mandates. And after those regulations are fully rescinded, a future president couldn't simply flip the switch and revive them, but would instead have to ask Congress to do so. A drastic reduction in federal regulations provide sound industrial logic for mass head count reductions across the

federal bureaucracy. DOGE intends to work with embedded appointees and agencies to identify the minimum number of employees required an agency for it to perform its constitutionally permissible and statutorily mandated functions. The number of federal employees to cut should be at least proportionate to the number of federal regulations that are nullified. Not only are fewer employees required to enforce fewer regulations, but the agency would produce fewer regulations

once its scope of authority is properly limited. Employees whose positions are eliminated deserve to be treated with respect and dog's goals. To help support their transition into the private sector, the president can use existing laws to give them incentives for early retirement to make voluntary severance payments to facilitate a graceful exit. Conventional wisdom holds that statutory civil service protections stop the president or even his political appointees from

firing federal workers. The purpose of these protections is to protect employees from partitical political retaliation, but the statute allows for quote reductions in force close quote that don't target specific employees. The statute further empowers the president too, in their words of the statute, prescribe rules governing the competitive service.

That power is broad. Previous presidents have used it to amend the civil service rules by executive order, and the Supreme Court has held in its cases Franklin versus Massachusetts that they weren't constrained by the Administrative Procedures Act when

they did so. With this authority, mister Trump can implement any number of rules governing the competitive service that would curtail administrative overgrowth, from brought from large scale firings to relocation of federal agencies outside of the Washington area.

They point to the nineteen seventy four Impoundment Control LAC, which stops the president from ceasing expenditures that were authorized by Congress. Trump has previously suggested this statute is unconstitutional, and we believe the current Supreme Court would likely side with him on this.

million to progressive groups like UH Planned Parenthood. The federal griments procurement process has also badly broken. Many federal contracts have gone unexamined for years. Large scale audits conducted during a temporary suspension of payments would yield significant savings. The Pentagon recently failed its seventh consecutive audit, suggesting that the agency's leadership has a little idea how its annual budget

of more than eight hundred billion dollars is spent. Now, critic claims, we can't immediately close the federal devils without taking aim and entitlement programs like Medicare and Medicaid, which require Congress to shrink, But this deflects attention from the sheer magnitude of waste fraud in abuse that nearly all taxpayers wish to end, and the Doe James to address by identifying pinpoint executive actions that will result in immediate

savings for taxpayers. With the decisive electoral mandate in the sixty three conservative majority of the Supreme Court, dog has an historic opportunity for structural reductions in the federal government. We are prepared for the onslaught from entrench interest in Washington. We expect to prevail. Now is the moment for decisive action. Our top goal for DOS is to eliminate the need for its existence by July fourth, twenty twenty six, the

expiration date we have set for our project. There is no better birthday gift to our nation on its two hundred and fiftieth anniversary than to deliver a federal government that would make our founders proud.

But think about saving three thousand dollars from your own pocket by getting your scan. Your CT scan, for example, at Affordable Imaging Services, where the most expensive CT scan you can get six hundred bucks. That's one with a contrast. If you don't need a contrast, it's only four point fifty.

Talk to my friend Jeff about that. He personally saved three thousand dollars from his own pocket going to Affordable Imaging Services. Yes, the overhead is quite low, not a whole lot of bells and whistles, but they have the same equipment that hospitals use and the same professionals operating in Every scan you get, whether it's an MRIT CT, Echo cardigram, ULTRASCROUN lungs screening, or cardiacs CORN comes with

That's why I'm kind of really really irked

and pissed off about the reality where we are. Why did Biden sit around and wait till after the election before selling them and giving them these weapons along with the military personnel to operate them. Ask yourself the question, and then, of course it invites conspiracy theories and concerns along the lines of what my last college is brought up martial law?

Can I just ask you real quick, unrelated to the topics we're talking about today, which are the Ohio Senate leader and the speaker. I'm I'm perhaps overly enthused about this Elon Musk Vivik Ramaswimmi doge outside entity looking to reform government. Are you do you have optimism in this regard? Do you think they will actually be able to accomplish something along the lines of what they're promising to do.

in a few weeks. Once once we get into the new year, new Congress, president's sworn in, and there's some exciting opportunities next year to do things folks were really desiring.

any money for it. They're outside of government. They're just offering these solutions which can easily be embraced that America will be able to look at, read, consume for themselves, draw their own conclusions, and then stare at their elected officials when they don't do anything about it, and say,

what the hell are you doing? Look at these great ideas that have been presented to you to pair back this ridiculous, overbloated intrusive government that has been unleashed on Americans to the expense of thirty four trillion dollars every moment, growing exponentially, and the debt service we got to take along with it. It's time to do something about it. We are killing ourselves. Look the doctors are in office. Look at they're making a diagnosis. They're giving you opportunities

to change your lifestyle. Smack upside the face with everything that comes out of this Doge Committee, I just think it's a great idea at least give us the information and AMMO to talk to our elected officials about it head on.

Ohio I've been talking about for a while. And so we see some really great opportunities in the next session with those folks at the helm of both chambers to be able to introduce legislation, well, encourage their colleagues' interduce legislation right and help shepherd that through the process and ultimately hopefully get some really big transformative pieces of legislation to the Governor's desk as we go through go through the one hundred and thirty six the General Assembly next year.

was reform minded. That'll help America. But no, they're on the wrong side of the political ledger or their party is, and they can't vote for it, so they'll have to vote against it. So why don't we just deny the American public the opportunity for them to vote on it so we can see what they're voting on and the way they vote, so maybe we can throw them out of office or support their decision making. It's got to be brought up and presented for a vote for that

to happen. That's the importance of these roles.

you've got to take. You know, if you're the speaker of Ohio House right now with the majority caucuses sixty five members, or the Senate President with a CAUCUSUS twenty some members, that's a lot of folks, and you've got to be able to pecular articulate a clear vision for what your chamber needs to get done in the two short years that it has to do its work, and more importantly, the six months where the budget process happens, which happens to be the biggest policy making season for

the state. There's really six months from January through June thirtieth, where a lot gets done and you need effective leadership, effective vision casting, and whether it's you know, Rob mccaully or Matt Huffman, both of these individuals as leaders have cast a vision that is raining and spending, empowering families, rolling back taxes, and ultimately getting Ohio into a place where it's going to be more prosperous. And you know, that's I think what they're going to be able to

do in why we had a fol hire. It's so excited about what twenty twenty five can hold for us here in Columbus because these folks at a record are getting it done and now they're leading their respective chambers to do just that.

but opportunity to send them elsewhere. But everyone should have that flexibility regardless of where you know, regardless of their of their economics system, our positioned and by allowing those tax dollars to flow to a family for the decision making, to me is a neither a Republican nor Democrat thing. Go to the public schools if you choose, go to a private school, if you choose, you have the flexibility under this type of education system. Now certain people don't

have any flexibility whatsoever. So I embrace that that seems to be something that could be easily accomplished. But also I understand they're looking at maybe eliminating any income tax here in the state of Ohio, which would make us far more competitive. If you look at where all of these businesses who have fled the Blue states over the past four or five years have gone, Texas is a big number one because they don't have any income tax.

to do it even overnight. You just need to set that trajectory right, phase it out over a number of years. Make sure we're not putting ourselves in a situation where we can't make sure we're providing the central government services through a potential economic downturn that could happen. But you can set the trajectory to get Ohio a zero percent income tax. The legislation is out there. We've had the

Buckeye Institute do the research. Folks know it's possible. What's going to take is leadership that will restrain the spending. Just don't grow it as much as they have by an by anium and then put those put those constraints on on themselves on government, because say we're gonna we're just not going to depend on that source of revenue any longer, and we're going to put that money back in the harder money back in your pockets. As Ohio wins.

It's phenomenal and yeah, we have the opportunity to do it, and I think we've got the leadership team now in the House and the Senate that can help get that done and build a package in the budget process to send to the governor and accomplish that in the next six months, the first six months the next.

burdensome and restrictive. So there's a genuine opportunity right there to get that kind of reform in place, as well as energy reform, going all in on all types of energy and creating different energy generation mechanisms, like allowing brown field sites to have these small, common packed gas powered energy generation facilities. You can put them all over the place. They won't bother people, but it would make us more competitive and might even provide an additional amount of electricity.

Not only do would act as a lure for folks out in the world looking for a state that has inexpensive energy, but something that's a salable product. If we generate too much, there's always somebody out there that's willing to buy your extra energy.

government to grow too large. There's there's a multitude of opportunities here, not just in a large part because of the folks who the caucuses in both the House and the Chamber have selected to get a lot of really good things done. But there's opportunities because we have a number of members who care about these kinds of things, who care about unleashing prosperity here in the Buckeye State that you know, there's work to be done, but we

can get it done, and there's a multitude ideas. The grassroots is fired up, the thing takes like Buckeye Institute are fired up, and there's a fresh group members coming to the state House next year are going to be sworn in who want to see things get better. It's a really exciting time to be a conservative, to be Ohioland and to be here in Columbus working to make those things happen.

Donovan and el keep up the great work. You're always welcome here to give us an update on things happening here.

His works appeared in My Favorite Place, The Wall Street Journal, among others, including The Washington Post, Reason, USA Today, National Review, numerous other publications, and he's been a feature on Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Soon to Be Demised, NPR, ABC, World News Tonight, and other outlets. Welcome to the fifty five Catsey Morning Show, David Harsining to talk about your book, The Rise of Bluing on how the Democrats became a party of conspiracy theorists.

our very eyes. It's something a deflection. They literally will do things that they then accuse the Republicans of doing. And I have always just sort of out loud wondered, how is it that they think they can get away with it? Or maybe as this most recent election has shown maybe they aren't getting away with it and more smarter than they take us to be.

younger because Republicans might take over. And then the next sentence they'll say, but yeah, so we need to pack the court, you know, we need the sense of misinformation, we need to get rid of the electoral college. I think maybe you know, their version of democracy is just something that you know, is just Democratic party policies, not

actually the constitutional order. So yeah, they do that with a ton of stuff, and they get away with it because a lot of our institutions are run by people who agree with them, media, higher education, and you know, many government agencies and so on.

seems to me that they want more power. They want to confiscate more of our wealth, they want to dictate the terms of conditions, more of our lives, all in the name of it, mostly predicated these these days on the underlying religion that they have been teaching to our young people now for about two decades. Is global warming crap, Like my exhalation while feeding the plants is wonderful, but it's also killing the globe. Literally everything hinges on. Oh

my god, we're all going to die airgo. We need to confiscate and regulate. That's the antithesis of the freedoms and liberties that are founding fathers placed in the Constitution.

so there's this apocalypse always coming. And because there's the apocalypse coming, we have to do a B and C now that you know, the Green New Deal whatever, it's always something new.

the vote. Telling a whole oh yeah, you know, telling Black Americans, you know, voting buck that they are stripted agency, that they cannot vote, that people want to stop them, you know, from being wealthy, or that people want or that cops are hunting them in the streets now obviously, or a racist out there not saying every shooting is is not doesn't have racial component to it, but many of them don't.

are smarter than that. They've moved away from the msnbcs and the CNNs and even the NBC's ABC's of the world. They've gone out into the world and they start consuming contact like content like the podcast Joe Rogan, He'll have long, engaging conversations with people of all political stripes, doing a more deep dive. People really consume that and are interested in it because it's informative. It offers greater insight in what people really think and believe, and it provides an

opportunity for a back and forth. It reveals again what you've laid out in your book. A lot of nonsense and garbage. We can find that now with the Internet in these days.

make things up for the most part. You know, you could have the CIA director come on the to our former CIA director would come on the TV and he'd say something. You'd probably believe it because he wouldn't lie to you about it. But that is no longer the case. Things have become so politicized in media that they made up the Russia collusion hoax. I mean, either they made it up or they were too stupid not to know it was it was true, and either way they shouldn't

be journalists. And then there was no reckoning. They went on and they hid Joe Biden's you know, acuity decline in his physical decline. Then they turned you know on a dime when it was you know, the sled us, and then they turned down time. So they're not even journalists,

their activists. But here's the thing, if we need there are a lot of boring Like Joe Rogan's conversations are great, but there's a lot of boring journalistic work that needs to be done, and that takes a lot of money, and the big media has that money and they're not doing their job. So if tomorrow Donald Trump actually did something terrible and they told us that about it, no one would believe them. No one would believe them. And we need a media that is and does look at

the powerful, and we don't have that. So that's bad for America. It's good that we stop listening to them because they've been lying to us, but it's bad that they don't do the right thing.

I know that there are some newspapers out there who are on all in sad, sad, desperate shape to even stay afloat, didn't offer a political support for Kamala Harris, took a lot of hits from the left wingers, but sort of maybe engaging in a shift to more responsible journalism. Do you think it's too late for them to do

that or can we might find it? Maybe this might be an opportunity for a renaissance where we can actually start counting on media to provide us with maybe an unbiased assessment of the facts and not offer any commentary.

not representing the readership of your paper or America. There are people in this country are more than have voted for Donald Trump. Me, you know what I mean, And no one knows or understands what that is about. Is this guy Scott Jennings on CNN who does a very good job. He's a conservative, but what makes me laugh is that he brings up topics and these other people don't even like. It's like they never even heard the arguments.

They don't understand what the other side's all about. So, but the problem isn't that you can just have an owner who changes things. The entire culture going down into journalism school all the way up. I mean, you have assistant editorial people revolting against the New York Times op at page editor, and who gets fired The op at page guy gets fired for running something they didn't like.

Young people today are coming out of journalism school, not all young people, but especially them, They cannot abide by a differing opinion because they don't see it as an opposing opinion. They see it as an immoral evil, you know, thing that needs not to be heard. They don't debate. I mean, I got to say, I've been around a while and I don't think I had a real policy a debate with a liberal or a left winger in a long time, and certainly not in this election. It

was all just you are a Russian spoof. Yeah you call it, you know, bought by big this and big that. Your NRA owns you, you know whatever.

not debate. And them screaming at you know, Donald Trump nazi, Donald Trump nazi not only is absolutely ridiculous from a factual standpoint, they're not supporting their cause by offering thoughtful logic and reason in support for what they're advocating.

mean history in that way. So you push people actually to defend Donald Trump, who might not.

he is Hitler. He is a fascist. It's just insane, and they undermine their own credibility. And they also well it's basically are admitting to their own ignorance about factual definitions. But moving over, you mentioned something about the money that is required to run a new use outlet, whether it's biased or not, it does take money. I've been saying

this for years and years. Aren't they not? Are they not undermining their own business model when they continue to attack free markets and business generally speaking, they are advocating for putting themselves out of business because what advertisers are going to support that kind of thing.

You know, you're digging in, You're you're you know, you're just doing your job. You're not going to get a million followers. The person who has a million followers is the one who sat Donald Trump's going to you know, make American, to Handmaid's tail or whatever. That's the person who gets all the attention. So all the incentives for these people are to be over the top and to talk that way. So until all of that changes, I'm not sure you know that they can change. And yeah,

I mean maybe they'll be hurt, maybe not. I mean the New York Times actually just pretty well. But the Washington Post I think lost like seventy million dollars or something last year. Yes, so they have they have these sugar daddies who back them, and that's fine. I mean, listening had happened, but it's not a good business model, as you point out. So I don't know, I don't know if they're going to come to their senses anymore.

with nothing but left winging professors. They're the ones that are teaching these new journalists to be this bias and this insane and this well conspiratorially oriented, in spite of the fact that if anybody stepped outside of themselves and looked at their viewpoint from a ten thousand foot level and actually took into consideration the other side's point of view, they wouldn't be sadam brainwashed. But they're surrounded by this

liberal echo chamber. You can't get away from it. And I've heard from folks that are you know, in college or you know, I know professors that are still of

conservative mindset that are still teaching in colleges. Pretty much got to keep your conservative point of view to yourself or you're going to run the risk of getting a bad grade or alienated and ostracized by your fellow students, which as a young person I think you probably take that a little bit more seriously than someone who's my age, who couldn't give a flying rip about what someone an opinion,

someone formulates based upon my viewpoints or outlooks. But I'm willing to discuss mine with you and engage in a thoughtful conversation. But you know, you start boiling it down to name calling. That's when I just say, you know, I got two words for you. It ain't happy birthday and move away. But more to the point, do you have to have a journalism degree to actually be a journalist? We have a right to the free press. What does it mean to be part of the press. The Internet's

right in front of you. I can sit down and write a scribe and a home even and publish it immediately online for all to read. Do I need a journalism degree to have that have any credibility?

Your message is then broadcasts around the world for all who choose to consume it. Are you not really part of the press in that capacity even though you lack a journalism degree from some left wing college institution. That's an interesting thought experience experience. I don't know that that has ever been tested in court. You know, what does it mean to be a journalist? And you're right? Joe Rogan is an a journalist. He is a comedian and

a thought full interviewer. He has skills that are obviously on full open for full view for anyone at any time. He does a really good job and a whole variety of topics. I say he is every bit as much of a journalist as anybody who comes out of school with a degree in journalism, except he's been free of the brainwashing component.

It's simply just from a consumer standpoint, it didn't make sense because the two things that would happen would be you'd have airports that would be less served because you'd have two airlines now just down to one. And if combined they operated nine flights a day into a specific airport, A combined airlines is not going to operate nine, They're going to operate four or five. You're going to have fewer employees, and the fewer number of low cost seats

that you have, the higher the fare. So just all around was never anything I like now when initially when Spirit and Frontier were going to get together, you lay those route maps down and they were perfect. They compliment each other perfectly, And that's the one I wanted because I thought the two of these combined could really create a stronger low cost carrier. The problem was Jet Blue, Like you know, some rich suitor steps in and says, let me pay more. And that's when you know, Spirit

count told Frontier see you later, and left. And the funny part was after the merger with Jet Blue was denied, Spirit went limping back to Frontier and Frontier said, no, we don't want to merge now, of course, And you know, you and I have talked because for the last three months, four months, I've had people email. Let me say, Jay, Spirit Airlines, my gosh, their stock is done eighty five percent this year. It's got to be a screaming buy.

I said, Well, part of that's right, screaming is accurate. Please do not buy it. Because it was at two fifty.

And you just got to be careful. Now, look, if a lot of people that have Spirit Airlines and their cities listen to us, I know because they email me if I've got a reservation on Spirit, I'm not worried they're going to continue business as usual. The Chapter eleven process is something that is core to prove mandated overseeing, and it's what American Airlines has gone through, it's what

United Airlines has gone through. So many of these carriers have So from our side of the ticket counter, we're probably not going to notice much of a change.

to stay a team. They're doing a great job. And Brian, the stuff they do behind the scenes to get existing carriers to give us more flights and to bring in new carriers to give us more options is just incredible. They are the envy of the country. They continue to be. And I'm asked about Cincinnati when I'm on the West coast talking in New England. They're like, my gosh, you know, Cincinnati's really turned it around. How did they do it?

And I said, because the community is now supporting low cost carriers and they're flooding in here and taking advantage of it.

me a little bit puzzled. And air traffic controller orders an American Airline flight to expedite a climb to avoid mountains.

in mind that they weren't at that point. But the headlines around the country, all I read was you know this aircraft narrowly missed the mountain, and you know it wasn't really the case, but you know, heats off to the air traffic controller who was monitoring it and saw what was going on and told them to do it, and the flight crew immediately complied. And right now they're looking at somethings trying to figure out, Okay, was the

reason for this. Was it a pilot air was it some sort of a maintenance issue with some of the components on the aircraft? Miscommunication? Yeah, I mean, they're gonna have to look at exactly what caused it. But Brian, one of the things that to me, I'm the most thankful for in this kind of a situation is that a mistake was made and we can learn from that and we can make commercial aviation safer as a result,

and no one got hurt or killed. Far too often these lessons have to come at the expense of injuries or fatalities. So anytime that we can learn a lesson about something that's going to make aviation even safer than it is, then I'm thrilled, because we just you know, made a mistake, Yes, but whatever happened is going to be communicated to airlines and flight crews around the entire world. So we're all going to learn from it, and we're

all going to see commercial aviation improve as a result. Well, even if it was a dumb mistake, it's going to be something highlighted that we can avoid in.

out how we can catch air bus. And he's really trying to change the culture, the mindset, the just the thought process of the employees there, saying look, we've got one hundred thousand people that we've got to be pointed in the right direction, and if we're not, we're gonna have problems. And his hands are full and he's doing

everything that he can. But look, they just gave their employees a massive, massive pay raise, and to think that that wasn't going to come at the cost of some jobs, I mean, please hello, I mean, of course they're going to have to figure out a way to do it because Bowen's losing money right now. They're not going to get paid till those aircraft get delivered. You got to make them before they can deliver them.

night down to thirty seven. Saturday is going to be a high of fifty with mostly cloudy skies closing down at thirty five.

I'm concerned about potential tarist cells all that, and I'm familiar enough with ballistics and firearms and rifles to know that, yeah, pretty much anybody could hit an airplane if that's what they want to do. Now, it happened in Haiti, where there's so much disruption and political discord and they haven't had their act together for decades and decades they got gangs from the place. It's basically anarchy. So it happens

in Haiti, I can kind of get it. But a Southwest Airline plane in Dallas got hit by a gun by gunfire prior to departure, and that's got me a little freaked out. Do we know exactly anything behind the details on this jay We do not yet.

bullet hole in the side of the aircraft. Passengers were simply re routed, most of them totally unaware of what had happened, not till the news came out later in the day, and then law enforcement got involved so that they could try to determine, Okay, was this a targeted event where somebody was specifically aiming at this Southwest Airline seven thirty seven, or was it someone a mile away or whatever that just an errant shot that just happened to hit the aircraft. You had the FBI as well

as the Dallas Police that are working together. They're going through some neighborhoods talking to some people and trying to see if they can get a little bit more information on how this can happen, because obviously what we want is it to be some drunk guy in the backyard the discharge as a firearm and that happens to hit an aircraft, versus somebody that would think about doing something like that. So I still suspect it's going to be

the latter, not the former. But you know, we're gonna have to wait and see where the investigation goes, because you know, as you know, they can look at how far it penetrated, they can look at the type of bullet, and they can get an idea at the speed at which it struck the aircraft, which you can give them an idea of the distance, and they can reverse engineer it and back it up to try to answer a lot of questions, right now that we do not have, but hopefully in the next few weeks that we will,

because any sort of attack on commercial aviation is a game changer for every airport in the country. So that's one of the reasons when this kind of thing happens, gets a lot of people's attention real quick.

That's his next level stuff, all right, flight canceled. Joe Strecker mentioned Richard gear In connects with this next story earlier in the program. Not quite sure where he was coming from, but the story involves hamsters.

a pet store. It came open, so they popped that cargo thing and all of a sudden, you've got hamsters everywhere, jumping out on the ground, taking off runt around the inside of the aircraft and you know, cue the Mission

Impossible music. Now you've got to collect them because when this kind of thing happens, and it happens from time to time, you have to make sure you collect every single one of those little guys, because if you have any that are unaccounted for, you need to know where they're at because they'd like to chew through little things like wires and wires keep airplanes in the sky. So this aircraft sat in Portugal for four days as they

were searching for one hundred and thirty hamsters. Now they got most of them pretty quick, but there were eighteen or nineteen stragglers that they had to go after, and by the time they do collect them, Brandon. They've got to also do just kind of a maintenance sweep of the aircraft, knows to tail, just to make sure that there's not any components that might have been accessed and maybe compromised by one of these hamsters. So it's a

funny story. Nobody got hurt, I mean funny. We weren't over there waiting to catch the flight that was canceled for the hamers.

was opened to undo the cargo. So it happens, and they took their time trying to find all these answers.
