weapons to Ukraine. Any possibility that's going to do any good? Some say, most say no, absolutely not. Did he sign under the Massy Epstein bill. Talked to Congress from Massy yesterday about that a bill to just well, let everybody

have the Epstein documents. Why not Donald Trump screaming and yelling about it, seeing everybody's falling for some sort of conspiracy on the heels of many Republicans for years, claiming that there was a whole bunch going on behind the scenes and that we need to find out about it. I don't think it bothered, hurts anything to let us have the documents and move on with our lives. And Congress from Massy's bill protects the child pornography from going

out any of the sensitive information. There's exceptions to what needs to be produced in there. Anyway, I made a sound argument for you yesterday at least I thought you can pull the podcast up at fifty five cares dot com if you didn't have an opportunity to listen to Congressman Thomas Massey yesterday live.

discussions we'll have with Steve. If it's proven Biden's people use the auto pen, and of course using the auto pen without the express approval of and behest of President Biden at the time, are his pardons and executive orders null and void? And I raise that specter in the context of how do you get it before the court. And it seems that at least from my perspective right now.

There could be other legal challenges out there in the world that I'm not aware of, But from a theoretical standpoint, I thought Senator ran Paul had the best opportunity to do it by going after and trying to prosecute Anthony Fauci,

who was given a preemptory pardon. Doctor Fauci is exempting free from all liability and connection with his work and his role in the Biden administration goes back years all swirrels around gain of function research, and Senator ran Paul seems to have him dead to rights on his claimed

that Fauci lied to Congress. You've got emails saying Wuhan Institute of Rology was doing gain of function research, an email from doctor Fauci prior to several years prior to him testifying, and he goes in front of the committee and he testifies that no, there was no gain of function research being done at the will On Instudi of Rology.

I mean, obviously, poll are opposite statements from the same guy entered Joe Biden's pardon or was it Joe Biden's pardon which doctor Fauci of course will wave around in any effort to prosecute him. I'm free from prosecution. I've been given a preemptory pardon by the Biden administration. You can't go after me. At which time Senator Paul can say no, that pardon is null and void. That presents

the legal argument before a court. An evidentiary issue becomes important in that particular case, So one opportunity to get in front of a court. I don't know how a court would rule. This is completely uncharted waters, and as far as the evidence concerned, it's going to be difficult to show one way or another. Joe Biden could pop his head up and say, I specifically approve that I

told them that. While that was not documented elsewhere in the emails or other communications, it would be Joe Biden's word against anybody else's. But the other people to whom he communicated the approval for the use of the autopen they'd have to testify as well. Did they get that specific instruction? Did Joe Biden specifically know that doctor Fauci was getting a peremptory pardon? Did he order that peremptory

pardon to be signed by Autopen? Right now, all we have our questions swirling about, which is why you need the evidence. So it's going to be interesting. Steve good will elaborate on that much better than I can. I'm sure Jay Ratliff. It is Thursday, Jay Ratliffe. Passenger punches

United gate agent, knocking the gate agent unconscious. Delta Airline lands the plane using artificial intelligence to establish more of its ticket price I Delta Airlines plans on using AI to establish more of its ticket prices for the purpose of maximizing profits. Of course, the initial Air India crash

report is out, and it raises even more questions. An interesting op ed on that by Homan Jenkins Junior in The Wall Street Journal, which dovetails interestingly to the artificial intelligence use, but also an ongoing discussion we've had with Jay Ratliff over the years, do we need pilotless airplanes? And a rather disturbing account of quite a few of

the air disasters that have happened by Homan Jenkins. Now he points out, in so far as the initial investigation, the initial report on the Air India crash contains no detailed timeline of actions, no verbatim cockpit transcript. Rather, they did release information that the fuel supply switches for the planes to engines were manu turned off about one second apart, and of course seconds after the plane left the runway. And in the Wall Street Journal they have a separate

article showing how these switches work. I mean, you have to pull them out and push them down, so there's there's several little actions you have to take to get these switches to go into the off position. You just can't bump into them, and I'm glad they're designed that way. So they were turned off one second apart, and without identifying who was speaking to whom in the cockpit, the report says, the voice recording one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cut off the

fuel supply switches. The other pilot responded that he did not cut off the fuel supply switches, and Holman's upines rights, it's impossible wherever the Indian investigators weren't aware of the certain history here. And this is where the disturbing stuff comes in, making me not want to fly even more

than I don't want to fly anyway. It's been twenty five years since the Egyptian government rejected a US finding that the crash of Egypt Are in ninety ninety off a long Island was deliberate by its pilot, described as an active mass murder that killed two hudred and seventeen people. Aviation expert William Langwishing later wrote on that one the

feeling in Egypt was that all Arabs runner attack. In other words, we don't want to say that it was intentional conduct on the part of the pilot, even though we kind of know it was, because we don't want the microscope of global opinion to focus on some crazy cockpit Arab guy. Likewise, he writes, Indonesia issued no finding about a nineteen ninety nine silk Are seven thirty seven crash that the US National Transportation Safety Board called pilot suicide.

China Eastern Flight fifty seven thirty five no finding by the Chinese government, despite leaked evidence showing the twenty twenty two crash was intentional. The notorious disappearance of MH three seventy and twenty fourteen no conclusion from the Malaysian government in a report left out that left out evidence that the pilot had practiced on his home computer, departing from the flight plan in nearly identical fashion. Exhausting his fuel

and crashing into the sea. Well, it's a little tasty piece of evidence you might expect to be in the final report, is it? I just reading those in a row, you go to these crazy people that are intentionally they're committing suicide and murder at the same time. By contrast, French and German authorities concluded very quickly that the twenty fifteen crash of German Wings flight ninety five twenty five

was a deliberate act by its first officer. That's regarding Air France four forty seven, A three thirty smashed into the South Atlantic at high speed in two thousand and nine. The crew blame for that one. Likewise, US and French investigators in the separate reports in twenty twenty two took lead investigator Ethiopia a task for pretending away the critical role of pilot error in the twenty nineteen crash of

Ethiopian Airlines Boeing seven thirty seven. Max. Now, reading those all in a row, and I know they happened over a period of decades, does it kind of give you some concern? Live in a world filled with folks that have mental health problems. I don't want my pilot to be one of those folks. But that's when he pivots

over to maybe some solutions for this. If our investigators are trying to protect their flags and their country and from people analyzing it through the lens of race or something, we're not going to get the truth of the facts on this. So Holand's asked what sort of rhetorically, I guess, does it even make sense to keep trying and eventually failing to place two highly skilled pilots in the cockpit when the job consists of letting the plane fly itself

while they're expensively acquired to maintain skills simply atrophy. And why is the potential for active control from the ground not being pursued, as well as the full advantages of satellite based navigation and continuous data transfer to make it impossible. Mysteries like the Malaysian Airlines disappearance, remember the Malaysia flight. They didn't even know where in the hell it crashed into the ocean. They couldn't find it. There was no radar or there was no connectivity over the swath of

ocean where that plane disappeared. And that always struck me as odd in a day of modern technology like this, you'd think that these planes would be tracked twenty four to seven every moment that they're in the air. It's legitimate question to ask many points that should should. It seem strange that the driverless car will likely be commonplace before the public is invited to the necessary conversation about

the pilotless airliner. Never mind that vehicles on the ground deal with dense traffic second by second, radical changes in direction and speed, and infinitely more opportunities for a collision. Those are all very valid points, But also, autobiles don't hold two hundred three hundred plus people at the same time. They're not going hundreds of miles an hour. At least

they shouldn't be. Airbus and Boeing have been done by aviation fans for LED's lack of technological verve in producing replacements for the seven, thirty seventh and A three twenties. Yet he writes silence reigns of the most important question whether the next generation jet should continue to be designed around a pilot and a pilot's snail like information absorption.

Did the air crash Airfrance and Ethiopian crashes perfectly airworthy planes destroyed after minor indicator failures forced apparently befuddled pilots to take over flying by hand. It says perhaps an AI voice might have explained to each the readings that they were badly misinterpreting, might have an unciated a simple airmanship solution, largely consistent instruction, instructing the pilots to stop doing the wrong thing. You think about the that seven

thirty seven Max crash where they changed the software. It didn't bother explaining to pilots how to react to the plane. When this software kicked in, the pilots ad the exact opposite of what they were supposed to do under those circumstances, and we lost two jets full of people. Artificial intelligence it's everywhere these days. Is that an option? Could we not have artificial intelligence screening at the pilots to do what they're supposed to do when the software shows that

something is going wrong. That sounds like a reasonable solution. So anyway, food for thought on that one. I am, and I'm in agreement with Jay Ratlers prior conclusions that a pilotless airplane does not sound comfortable, at least in

so far you know, psychologically speaking. Are computers better can they do the job better than humans who are obviously prone to not just error, but to becoming to turning batcrap insane and desirous of killing themselves and other people because of some psychological problem they got going on in the world. Maybe it's something to learn from all this.

the county. Hamilton County w the Hamilton County taxpayer more than one point one billion over twenty one years for a stadium. The proposed new lease that was released calls for the county to pay up to one hundred thirty and thirty four million for the capital repairs. And then here where the fun part comes in. Because we don't have the money laying around in a pile, the county's going to issue bonds to pay for its three hundred and

fifty million dollar contribution. Bonds mean interest payments. Interest payments mean you're gonna pay a lot more than the borrowed money. Right, Uh, Thomas, you'r mann'splaining, And according to wcpo's number crunchers, that's a two hundred and ten million dollars in new interest expense over fifteen years, bringing that total to five hundred and

sixty million dollars. Finally, they kind of reversed an earlier stance, agreeing now to cover stadium operating expenses on the same terms as the old terrible poorly negotiated one side of the table wins the Bengals lease, which they say could add up to four hundred and eighteen million additional dollars for the Hamilton County taxpayers to pay Bengals in the NFL, contributing one hundred and twenty million dollars toward the renovation project and up to up to forty five million to

more rent if the deal ends up being extended for twenty one years. But in the end, apparently the county is going to be covering eighty seven percent of total expenses the team covering thirteen CPO interviewed Joe Cobbs, professor and chair at Sports Business Program at North Kentucky University, who also reviewed their analysis at their request. He said, I'm not in the negotiation. One of the challenges in the county side is it doesn't seem like they're willing

to risk losing the Bengals and any negotiation. If you're not willing to walk away from it, Dan, you have pretty limited power, which I guess is why we collectively are going to end up on the hook for about one point one billion dollars.

And of course I am certain that there are illegal immigrants who across the border who have a white colored skin, and maybe some Ukrainians struck over the border.

I think Russians predominantly, although not exclusively. You can't pay with a broad wash when it comes to a country's you know, the view, the visual look of any given human being in any given country. Since we have a well, and particularly here in the United States, sort of a melting pot reality going on. We have people of all shapes and colors and stripes and religions and ethnicities and everything. So I believe it a bit racist to suggest that

our ice officials are only going after people of color. Now, they're going after people who are here illegally, most notably the ones that have committed crimes here illegally, regardless of the color of their skin. Just frustrating, very frustrating. Anyway, crazy story here locally, getting the local stories. A road rage incident turned into a lot more Clima County Sheriff's Office reporting that a man decided to follow the other

driver in this road range incident to her home. Thirty year old Seth Schloter at a Wayne township, now facing numerous charges. His first encounter with the victim July eleventh on State Route seven to twenty seven near Stonewak Park. Dam Witnesses said he stopped his vehicle, which his children were in, which is another weird layer on this on the road, and a woman honked her vehicle's horn and drove around him. Right, No big deal, just walk away, right.

Joe Schluder, though, followed the woman to her home on Lair Road, confronted a man at the home on the front porch while his fearful wife ran behind the house. I guess the man confronted was the husband trying to de escalate the situation with this crazy guy. The Sheriff's office said the man went to get his wife from behind the home. Schluter, though, then decided to get his kids, all of whom five years old or younger, out of his vehicle and go into the victim's home while the

husband and wife were still out back. While in the home, he damaged it and when the homeowners found him in their house. The thirty year old the husband apparently, I'm sorry, no, the Schluter guy hit the husband in the face. According to Claremont Sheriff's Office report, Chief Deputy Mike White from Clemont County Sheriff's Department. When they came back from behind the residence, he entered the home and at that point the mail inside ended up striking him. Schluder then grabbed

his kids and fled the scene. Round five point thirty pm July eleventh, Clamaut County Sheriff's Office said deputies respond to the lair Rode home and started investigating. They located Schluoter following an arrangement with his following an arrangement with his wife, and took him into custody at a convenience store on State Route seven twenty seven. He wouldn't make

a statement corner Sheriff's Office. Schlooter now facing the following charges aggravated battery, aggravated menacing, assault, burglary, endangering children, and operating a mownor vehicle while under the influence.

a joke. Detectives looking into several reports involving a suspect on what has been described as a peg style electric dirt bike.

Suspect described as white guy wearing dark clothing often all black, and gloves been seen wearing a ski mask resembling either the call of duty ghost skull or a venom style design,

neither of which I know what looked like. So not a call duty guy, and I don't know what a venom looks like. Looks like Spider Man. Joe says, Okay, black instead of red.

Here's the County Sheriff's office says, Edwin Gooseman, twenty three years old, arrested in charge with felony poisoning ves get to say was attempting to poison his ex girlfriend by putting bleach in her vodka bottle and cosmetics. Body camera video shared by the Sheriff's Office shows deputies questioning the ex girlfriend

and her family about the situation. Woman can be heard telling deputies he my ex boyfriend put bleach into the Teeto's bottle that I had, and my uncle nearly took a shot out of me, almost swallowed it, but he realized there was bleach in there. Ex girlfriend can be seen showing the vodka bottle in question to the deputy. She said she poured it out, but it still smelled

like et bleach. Woman explained the deputies that she and Gooseman had just broken up and when she got off work, she went to pick up her things, but Goozman had already put all of her items in the driveway. According to the Sheriff's office, Gooseman also admitted to using the bleach in his ex's skin care products. In the Sheriff's office post, their quota of saying, this is not how

you break up idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. Sleep. Really, it's just so puzzling to me to just like to every day go through this decond stupid and realize the epics stupidity of people and their refusal to just let go. You broke up, it's over. Walk away, forget about them, don't go visit them, don't go driving around their street, don't pull up in their driveway, don't put bleach in their food and and their cosmetics.

a concept. Yes, walk the hell away. You got the rest of your life ahead of you. You're gonna dwell in the past on what is over and done with? Boohoo? Well is me? The world's an imperfect place. Relationships sometimes don't work out. God Almighty. Sorry, had to get that out of my system. Don't know why I put me over the edge of this morning. But it's always always baffling to me, something not baffling, something always that I

embraced saving money. And actually, when you save heap loads of money and I'm gonna tell you how you can do that, it puts a big smile on my face. I like saving thousands of dollars if you got two things in front of you. They're exactly the same, except one just looks prettier than the other. But they perform the same function, they provide the same result. One costs you four thousand dollars more than the other one, and you gotta get it done. I'm talking about imaging, echo, cardigram, MRI,

ST scan, ultrasound. We all have to get them. It's been through Affordable Imaging Services images a whole bunch of times. They always are fine. My doctor has never had a problem with them. It's the same equipment hospitals use. It just costs a fraction of the hospital price is going to be like five grand for a CT scan five

thousand dollars. Now, how is it that Affordable Imaging Services can do the same thing without a contrast for four hundred and fifty bucks six hundred dollars worth a contrast. That price includes the board certified radiologist report, and yet they still are a profitable company. That's a reflection of how much money the hospital imaging departments are making on your images. So don't do that. You have a choice.

got out to Seattle. Seattle judge ordered a popular beach now closed because of public sex and nudity ongoing King Kennedy Spirit Court Judge Samuel Chung gave the city Seattle two weeks to handle the ongoing inappropriate behavior at Denny

Blaine Park, commonly known as a Newdiest Spot. It's been that way for like fifty years and apparently according to the reporting Daily Mail, Martha Williams, popular among the LGBTQ community, says it's not specificallysated by Seattle Parks and Recreation as a clothing optional park, but apparently it's been dominated by

clothing optional people. Residents in the area of the park reported an escalation of what they describe as aggressive sexual behaviors over the past several years, so they organized a group called Danny Blaine Park for All to try to address the challenges of people engaging in lude behavior. So part of the lawsuit that the group filed, they provided video evidence of people pleasuring themselves openly in the park.

Dear what the hell? In an open letter of the community detailing some of the troubling incidents, including a man exposing himself to a female neighbor while making sexually aggressive remarks. And here's an interesting one, Joe maybe setting a record in the video showing another nude man pleasuring himself on the hood of his car for over six hours. How long is the penalty in NHL? Joe? And in like three minutes or something like that the most it's five.

My friends in the listening audience, to our fans of slapshot know exactly where I'm going with that one. Anyway. Four of public masturbation incidents occurred in a single week this March, according to the open letter of the community, has been plagued my ongoing trespassing, indecent exposures, and what they describe as menacing behavior. Judge ruled it sexual behavior

and nudity at the park constitutes a public nuisance. In his preliminary injunction issued on Monday, spokesperson for the group the Eat Any Plane Park for All who said, at minimum, we need the law upheld, giving us a give us a city an opportunity for fourteen days to get a plan together. So that's what the judge is asking for. These sexual misconducts, lout activity, masturbation, and public sex acts need to stop. However the city wants to do that,

that's up to them, they said. They said they brought the lawsuit out of exasperation. They apparently exhausted every possibility of trying to get the city to step in and handle the issue. But it's not clear now how they're going to address the problem. Mayor Bruce Harrald, we recognize the historical significance of that park. I've also made it clear that some of the unacceptable behaviors, some of the lewd behaviors, there's no place for that in any park.

We'll see what the city attorney's office how they proceed. Nudity considered generally speaking legal in Seattle, but according to the judge, nudity must be addressed as part of the city's planning to combat nuisances at the park. Now there's an opposing group, of course, that is in favor of I guess the nudity Denny Blaine Park for all. They claim that the judge is rolling erroneously links harassment and other misconducts to the general nude usage of the park.

In their statement is that an enormously overwhelming majority of nude usage of the beach by thousands of satellites each year, is friendly, legal, and positive. Our aim is to ensure the case and the city's response focuses solely on actual criminal activity, public masturbation, and sexual harassment, which cannot be conflated with mere nudity. They also claim that non sexual

nudity is protected free expression expression under the First Amendment. Well, we'll let Judge Chung and the city work that one out. Six hours though six hours on the hood of his car by fifty five five K see the talk station now not by SEPs strong by sept figures. Got you you see the dominant hand Joe right or left?

Reporter right does great legal analysis here on the Morning Show, breaking things

down and easily understandable terms conditions. If it's proven Biden's people use the auto pen without his specific authority and authorization, are his pardons and executive orders null and void. This is a bridge that has not been crossed before, so speculations to some degree on the part of Steve Gooden, and I will also talk about his run for Cincinny City Council as a charter right and I wish him all the best in the world on that he would

be a great councilman. He was in that role at one point, didn't get elected though after he was appointed, but a demonstrably good man and smart man. Jay Ratliffe, iHeart media aviation expert, joining us to talk about a passenger punching a United Airlines gate agent knocking him unconscious artificial intelligence. Delta Airline is going to be using it to maximize profits. The initial India air crash report is out mentioned that in the last hour raising more questions

than providing answers and finally hub delays. Let just go back to that Holman Jenkins Junior article about all the planes that have been intentionally crashed by crazy pilots, suicide and murder flights. Just when you read one after another, you kind of get well, it freaks me out. Anyway, a lot of control in the hands of a pilot. Question whether modern technology should be incorporated into modern aircraft that would allow perhaps remote control operation from the ground.

I like the idea of having sort of a universal tracking system, so we know, and planes disappear, we don't know where they crashed, that we might have some understanding of where they did disappear and where they crashed. Anyhow, let us see here Senate passed the you know, it's nine billion dollars. It's a drop in the water. I don't understand whether this is such a big deal when we're talking about trillions and trillions of dollars being spent

by federal government. But the Senate did pass the plan to cancel nine billion dollars in federal funding for foreign aid programs. In public media, this a lot of the Doge type of recommendations. Fifty one, forty eight vote to thirty this morning. They were up at two thirty this morning, and of course along party lines, and of course Republicans Susan Collins and main Lisa Murkowski of Alaska jumping on board with the Democrats in opposition to the bill, which

has almost become the norm these days. Now it's going over the House must pass by Friday or the executive branch is supposed to release the funding. So we got a bit of a deadline there. Republican senators apparently defeated a bunch of revisions that the Democrats sought. Some Republicans wanted to restore funding to cuts identified by Trump's Department of Government Efficiency Report. Effectively, the bill asked lawmakers to claw back funding previously doled out, including seven point nine

billion dollars from foreign aid programs. And they've identified previously some of these foreign aid programs, and when you read them, you're like, wait, we actually this money was actually approved previously. How could that possibly happen? Much like everything else DOGE is identified, Like wait a minute, we're paying for that. It's almost as if you're put in a room and you're asked to do a creative writing project and come up with the most batcrap insane program that you can

absolutely think of in your wildest imagination. And that's the kind of programs we actually allocated money for. No It's not going to be the end of the world when this money does not go out into the world. Plan also is going to rescind one point one billion dollars from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Oh my god, We're all going to die. How is it? The United States of America, with the First Amendment right and a free

exercise right is funding media. Corporation of Public Broadcasting created under the Johnson administration back in nineteen sixty seven. Johnson had a statement issue at the time it was approved. It will get to part of its support from our government, but it will be carefully guarded from government or from party control. It will be free, and it will be independent, and it will be long to all of our people. Right.

But the people that run public broadcasting as this quote unquote seemingly independent agency free of government control, they know where the money's coming from. They're peddling a big government narrative because they know they're Well, if we don't con pedal the big government narrative where funding is going to get cut off. Look, the funding is being cut off, huh,

not going to harm them. They get most of the vast majority of their money from donations from corporations and you the people anyway you think the end of the world was coming. Of course, Republicans have long criticized MPRE and PBS because of its liberal bias. Anyhow, Murkowski and Collins, the ones that voted with the Democrats, couldn't salvage most

of the funding, although they tried it. An amendment they proposed which would reduce the cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting from one point billion down to eight point three million, shot down forty seven to fifty one. Of course, Murkowski Collins the only Republicans voting yes on that amendment. Senate majority of Leader John Thune said the Senate was doing it's part to cut Waiste out of the budget, calling it a small but important step toward fiscal sanity.

I'll agree with him. It's small, it's symbolic. At least, it's a cut, putting some flesh on the bones of how much this cut amounts to nine billion in cuts one tenth of one percent of the roughly seven trillion dollar federal budget annual federal budget, which seven trillion is not enough. They always go into the hole and put us further in debt to cover the nut on all the additional spending they engage in, including spending that was cut yesterday by the Senate or will be cut if

the House passes it. Vast majority of that spending social Security, Medicare, and related health programs, as well as the trillion dollars interest on the growing debt that we hold now. They did reach an agreement earlier to save four hundred million dollars for funding for the pepfar HIV AIDS relief program

and funding from Eternal Health. Malaria and tuberculosis also will be explicitly protected by new language, according to people familiar with the verbiage and the language in the Senate proposal. So all this angst and concern over a mere nine billion dollars just unbelievable and kind of a related point over the State Department where they're trying to cut the agency.

After the Supreme Court gave the green light for the trub administration to cut jobs, State Department officials set out to trim the agency what they call the biggest reorganization since the Cold War. It took them months to try to figure out the total number of people that even work in the State Department. One senior State Department official speaking with reporters and a briefing, it took us three months to get a list of the people that actually

work in the building. They couldn't tell you how many people work there. Official said, it's sort of scary as a taxpayer, as a public servant to think that we don't even know how many employees we have. This is a national security agency, you know, who are these people? Great rhetorical question. Apparently we're going to trimp about three thousand people from the State Department. Half already took a voluntary buy out, the other half given reduction enforced riff notices,

meaning you're fired. The idea, official said, was to put a maximum of twelve clearances on any piece of paper, meaning documents would have to go through twelve layers approval instead of the ready forty to fifty layers that they currently have to go through now. Departments apparently had dozens of different offices handling human resources, and when a new employee was hired, they were accepting fax records on their

past work with other agencies. Official said, it's crazy that an apartment that tasked with so many critical diplomatic national security functions with a fifty dollars a fifty billion dollar plus budget is running its affairs this way. Official said. Some of these regional offices with this sort of functional Civil liberties, civil society, Bureaus of Democracy, human rights, labor, population, refugees,

and migration each had their own regional offices. In addition to the country desk regional bureau, every independent bureau and office had its own executive director, its own HR department, its own payments. We were making payments out of like sixty plus different offices. Apparently, the officials shuttered a diplomat's in resident program, determining it to be, in their words,

a cushy jobs or cushy job. Official said, State Department employees are getting paid to go hang out at Georgetown and sort of recruit for the foreign Service without any sort of metrics or accountability. Unbelievable. Critics warning the cuts of the diplomatic cor could damage US presence globally and seed soft power to China. However, one official replied saying, hey, a climate change office is not countering China. Amen, that office was not doing that was countering China or serving

the national interest. China has overtaken the US and a number of those countries. So I would argue growth that the State Department has not coincided with growth of outcomes for American taxpayers. Right Eric wants to know have they ever done a mandatory fire drill at that building? Don't you need a roster? I'm gonna go with no, and you should, but apparently they didn't six sixteen.

So we got a floodwatch picking at two pm today

Eighty six will feel like more lower nineties with a heat index. We are high today eighty six, seventy three overnight isolated chance of storms, partly cloudy. Tomorrow very muggy.

of what happened just yesterday. Anthony Bernhal don't know if you know who that person is, described as Jill Biden's work husband. He was an aide to Jill Biden during the Biden administration. He refused to answer questions yesterday from how House lawmakers that are investigating the cover up of Biden's mental decline. He invoked his Fifth Amendment right to us avoid self incrimination. Number two in the long list

of people who are going to be doing this. Nothing to see here subpoena to appear in part of the House investigation into biden aides who covered up his mental decline and who also may have actually acted as the president he, along with Jill Biden, making decisions that the President was supposed to be making oversight. Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer called it, well, unfortunately, that was quick.

This is the second witness that we brought in via subpoena for a deposition that has pleaded the Fifth and they've stated they're not going to answer any questions before the interview. Commerce told reporters the committee wanted to understand who authorized the use of the auto pen. They've been arguing that some pardons and executive order as signed by

the autopenans that of Biden could be void. Again. Steve Gooden on that topic later in the program, He said, we want to understand why it was used so many times? Why was it used when Joe Biden was even in the White House. Did Joe Biden know who is using the auto pen? He asked good questions questions you can't get the answer to. When people assert their Fifth Amendment right to be free of self incrimination? How could an assistant to Jill Biden face criminal prosecution? Maybe we should

ask Steve Gooden about that as well. What crime are they fearful of? Is it a crime to not tell the American public that Joe Biden was in a mental taym Is it a crime? I guess it would be forgery to sign Joe Biden's name when Joe Biden didn't specifically approve it. I guess maybe that's what it would hinge on Comer asked him specifically, was mister Biden fit to exercise the duties of the president and did any unelected official or family member exercise the duties of the presidency,

Commerce said, We're going to continue our investigation. I think the American people are concerned. They're concerned that there were people making decisions in the White House are not only unelected, but no one to this day knows who they were. These are the puppet masters that you and I have been talking about now for years and years. Who are the puppet masters? Who's the one actually deciding things? Clearly

it wasn't Joe Biden. Representative Brian Byron Donald's Florida Republican in the room for the interview, said, the two witnesses hiding behind the Fifth Amendment, it's not just shocking, it's stunning, and it demonstrates the level of corruption that was going

on in that administration. The chairman is being nice. I don't have to be this corruption at the highest level, because if you cannot say, answer a simple question about Joe Biden's capabilities, then that further demonstrates that he was not in charge of his administration. Now, I know what the law says about that. You know, you can't assume or conclude that assertion of the Fifth Amendment is an

admission that you did something wrong. But under these circumstances, most notably the doctor who asserted his Fifth Amendment right. They had what was that guy's name? Doctor Kevin O'Connor asked simple questions that seemed to implicate no one and seemed to be related to nothing that would involve criminal allegations of resulting against Doctor Kevin O'Connor still asserted his Fifth Amendment right questions unrelated to the physician patient relationship.

I might point out because he hid behind that as well, I can't talk about that physician patient relationship, and argument that I would say is null and void because Joe Biden authorized the release of his medical records to the public. Medical records which did not include any reference to a cognitive exam done by the aforementioned doctor. That was a suspicious absence. But since he gave us all the other informations blood pressures, fine, this is that's fine. How could

he assert the physician patient relationship? No idea. But that was the corollary objection to answering the questions. One was fifth Amendment. When I asked how the investigation has got to proceed if the witnesses continue invoking their Fifth Amendment right, comer said that there were other options on the table didn't elaborate on what those options might be. One of

them would be to give them immunity from prosecution. Ah, because if you give them immunity from prosecution, they cannot assert their Fifth Amendment right to be free well of incriminating themselves. Sorry, sucks to be you. You're not in charge. You're not in jeopardy of getting charged with anything. See this document. You're immune, So open up your mouth and answer the damn questions. I'd be willing to go down that road.

Davidson's doing a fine job. Congressman ascy on yesterday, if you didn't get a chance to listen, I highly recommend the podcast on that talked about the Epstein Bill asking to release all the Epstein documents, and it's certainly irking Donald Trump, who compares this as he calls it a hoax, Jeffrey Epstein hoax, blasting people who are claiming that there's something there. Donald Trump pivoting away from prior well statements related to Jeffrey Epstein. Anyway, it's not as bad as

you see. I regularly point out that you see these protests in the street, they're just a small slice of humanity. So when you got people attacking ice agents, that is not the dominant position in the American people. Most of the American people are in face of getting rid of most notably the criminal illegal elements in this country. But then you see protesters in the street and you're like, wait a second, have I missed the bandwagon on this?

And it's not just ice protests, it's really any kind of protest left wingers mostly you know, you got George George Floyd type protest, Black Lives Matter type protests, your anti file type protests. And where are all these people coming from? It's been widely reported many of them are paid protesters and people they didn't left denies that, no, no, no, these are not paid people.

up when you write them a check. Now, apparently there's a there's some protests that are supposed to be taking place today organized by a group called Good Trouble Lives on Today's Day. Although Adam Swartz said not interested in helping out so much so that he was willing to turn down a contract that would have been worth about twenty million dollars had he helped them recruit people to

show up in protest in return for payment. He said, interest align with the organizers of July seventeenth movement have approached us, and in fact we rejected an offer that probably is worth around twenty million dollars. These protests are apparently planned to protest against Trump. They call us off a peaceful and non violent protests and social change organization. This Good Trouble lives on planning to oppose Trump and what they call on their website quote the most brazen

rollback of civil rights in generation. Close quote. I'll leave it to you to decide what exactly they're talking about, Joe, do you feel like your civil rights have been taken away from you? Every Day Right protests planning today on the fifth anniversary of the death of former Representative John Lewis of Georgia Democrat, described as a civil rights leader who routinely referred to protests as good trouble. Now, I doubt this organization. The CEO Swartz organization Crowds on Demand

is the only organization providing these services out there. I would love to see a list of how many companies or organizations there are that do provide fake protesters when you write them a check. And how many people that have to be paid to show up at any given protests really truly embrace what they're protesting rather than just view it as an opportunity for some easy money. You mean, all I gotta do is stand around with a sign. You're gonna give me what fifteen twenty bucks an hour,

But I'll sign up for that. I don't care. Give me a sign, whatever it says, I'll take the money. I'm not doing anything. Let me just get up out of my parents' basement and show up. Oh, you provide transportation too, making it even easier. Now. This CEO's Swart guy regarding crowds on demand company based in California specializing in providing on demand crowds for protests, rejected the offer because they didn't think the protest like the ones Good

Trouble Lives on would be effective. He's actually got some concern over the effectiveness of the protest. He's protecting his crowds on demand business reputation. We don't want to be affiliated with something that's not going to bear fruit, Soart said, I mean, this is a nationwide thing.

It's not going to make us, It's going to make rather us all look bad. So again, his company's business reputation has been kept in mind here. But do you think he could have actually paid enough people to show up twenty million dollars worth of checks going out? I'm guarantee you he would. He would gotten some slice of that action, a pretty sizeable amount of money, but just the fact that it exists. Going back to my point,

so you see a whole bunch of people protesting. Did anybody, let me ask you this rhetorical question, did anybody in my listening audience who showed up at a Trump rally get paid to go there. People would show up hours in advance, standing around the corner waiting in line to get into a Trump event. I don't think they were getting a check. Donald Trump, of course, won the popular vote and the Electoral College vote last November. Remember that.

Of course, that's because a majority of the people voted for him and the policies and platforms he ran on, including enforcing immigration laws. Enter ice queue. The protesters paid for by maybe crowds on demand or one of the other organizations. I can only presume exists out there that hire people to do work that nobody really wants to do. By way of making a political statement alone. Six forty seven fifty five KRC the talk station. Let's exhale, pause,

Crowds on Demand a company that provides actors and demonstrators for various events, charges varying hourly rates depending on the type of service. For basic tasks like staffing and telephone banks or letter writing campaigns. Rates can range from twenty five dollars to thirty dollars per hour. This according to information gleaned from the San Diego Union Tribunes reporting on this company, they say had more complex events like protests or flash mobs. How did that group just magically appear?

one hundred bucks an hour. Joe, would you show up someplace with a sign for one hundred dollars an hour? Where's the line start? Fake paparazzi six hundred dollars for a specific event. That's current of information from an entityl called Pointer. They gleaned it from week long political demonstrations. Ten thousand dollars. Something called prolonged protest campaign can cast

you between twenty five and fifty thousand dollars. Crowds for marketing or pr stunts fifteen dollars per person per hour, fifty dollars per person per gig. All right, they say factors that influence the pricing of the type of the event, whether it's stage demonstration, duration of the event, location, and cost of living. I guess that various city by city based upon how much how expensive it is to protest

there or buy like food as well as lodging. I suppose with the multi day event they got to cover that as well, plus the skill and experience of the participant, pointing out that highly specialized or experienced actors may command higher rates. So you're being lied to. It's an optical thing. It's staged. It's not real. And I always point out even if a T shirt that says it, great ideas or good ideas do not require force, They do not

require coercion, they do not require being bribed. Great ideas have a way of attracting people simply because it's a great idea. But if you got to pay somebody to show up, because no one's going to show up, maybe it's a bad idea you're embracing. And you got to commend the guy who started the pro the company though, right, that's a true capitalist right there. Six point fifty five fifty five k se DE talk station.

Welcome back, Congressman Davidson. It's a pleasure having you on my program.

politics was like junior year in high school. What's your take on just the the pace at which we're going here.

was a different president. We still haven't passed a really good border security law, but with the Big beautiful Bill, we gave lots of funding so that they can keep the pace they're going at and frankly intensify the efforts. So we're going to have a secure border. And with a secure border, that I give us a lot of options on how do we deal with the rest of these problems. And you know, I'm excited about that. I'm excited about our strong, focused military. I just met with

the Secretary of the Army this week. We're working on, you know, getting the military laser focus readiness wise, I mean cutting out the bloat and waste. I mean, I'm talking about bureaucratic inefficiencies we've known about for decades. And because Congress generally just does omnibus bills and just you know, status quo, keep it going, they don't really do the major reforms. And they're getting after it in the executive branch.

Hopefully Congress will move somewhere alongs in line with that and we'll get some of those reforms documented into law. But the pace is exciting well.

thousand for the army. So you know, they've got, you know, ambitious goals to shrink that and bring the technology up to speed. Part of the reason that some of this stuff is so broken. I mean, X small business with quick books has probably got more tech than a lot of our government agencies in terms of just accounting controls. You know, who authorized this spending? Did you really receive the part that you're about to pay for things like that that you just kind of take for granted that

they're in place. There's a reason they can't pass a quote audit and provide accountability there. The other thing is this idea of the audit that they're doing it's like, you know, they're not focused on details like that. You get all these you know, big accounting firms coming in and they want to go, well, how do you value the nuclear waste. You're like, yeah, we get some nuclear waste. We're not putting a price on it. I mean, we're just we're just trying to find out what to do

with it. And they're flag in stuf like that, and we're like, no, No, where did the money go that we sent to Ukraine?

income taxes. To find out that it's going to like Sesame Street in Israel or Afghanistan or something, I mean, the list of absurd and insane programs, it's mind boggling, and it's angering to folks like me and other people who pay attention to this. It's the same question who authorized the funding of this ridiculous program and what did the non governmental organization who said they were going to fix whatever problem was identified actually do with the money.

There seems to be no follow up or accounting along those lines.

places fixed? Did you spend the money fixing the place? Well, it gave it to the contractor, Yeah, but did they fix the place? You know stuff that's crazy, and it's no, it isn't getting fixed. That's why you have half of the housing units that the people are paying for not livable. They can't even use them.

know who I admit to have some good programming. I like some of their programming. But if you look at the Macro agenda. It's his way left of center, and they don't need tax dollars to do it. But only because jd Vance cast the tiebreaking vote, could they do that? We're going to vote on it, I think later today. I mean, they have to go to rules committee here probably as we speak, and I think we're supposed to start a debate on the floor on defense appropriations again

at nine. We did a little bit of it overnight last night.

But like you said, where's the money actually going? Is it accomplishing anything or has it been misspent or otherwise stolen?

equipment in the world. Even when you do it. One of the things I'm going to speak on is this whole thing called a latoral class you know ship. Oh sure, the inland waterways and everything else. These things are non usable for the purpose. Over half of them aren't even seaworthy right now, and they want to keep funding the program. And instead of just saying, look, man, we're just throwing bad money, throwing good money after bad here, and it's just sort of the sunk cost ballacy. Well, you know,

we've already spent this much. We have to No, it's not fixable. Stop well, and I just.

So are we going to move away from funding you know, these billion dollar manned aircraft in favor of allocating more resources and money to drone type technology.

Part of it was some of those were older. But then you get, well, okay, what's the rate that we can produce new stuff, and that again through the procurer process, isn't keeping pace with what we would like and what we what we want to build out for a future surge capability if we ever really needed to, you know, we wouldn't say I was ever one of the biggest fans of Donald Rumsfeld, but he had a decent saying I kind of co opted about the supply chain is

you know, you go to war with the supply chain you have, not with the supply chain you wish you had, right And we're trying to fix that. And that's a big part of what Trump's doing with tariffs. It's a big part about, you know, what we're doing with the Defense Production Act, and it is trying to get the whole country focused instead of just used to spending money on giant programs and not caring about the outcome.

And you've got six hundred plus drones flying into any given target area at a time. You can knock those down with Patriot missiles.

The cost benefit analysis just collapses in the face of how cheap drones are. Congressman Davidson, where are you on arm shipments to Ukraine?

both yes, the Ukrainian military and the Russian military. But if you look at Ukraine, they've been decimated with their population base. They're doing, you know, really indefensible things to get more bodies to go out to the front and push, pushing people out into into the combat zone. And look, they're trying to save and defend their country. You understand it. It's a terrible war, but they're also not rationally negotiating.

So Trump's done a lot to get Zelenski there. But in the meantime, you know, the weakness no matter how much money you have, no matter how many munitions you have, you still need manpower. And the critical weakness for Ukraine as this has gone on and on and on is manpower. So when they had manpower early, they weren't rational in their negotiating position. So you know, I hope they haven't missed a moment to get a better piece than what they're going to wind up with. But you know, this

is part of how bad Biden was. I mean, I never voted for a dime to go to Ukraine because they would never define what are you trying to accomplish? And then they would say crazy things like well work regime change in Russia and war crimes tribunals for Putin. I'm not saying that would be a completely unjust outcome, but Ukraine isn't going to accomplish that no matter how

manys we send them. That's World War three, you know, And I'm out on World War three if we can avoid it, right, and uh, there's a complete disconnect here with a lot of the resources under the Bide administration, Trump has really still got it right and saying, look, this also isn't our war to fight or fund, so we'll sell NATO member countries the weapons and the sort of caveat there is. I mean, we fund over half of NATO, so you know, in a way, yes, our

dollars are still going to it. But he's trying to get an outcome, and I hope he does, but you know, the I think the odds are long at this point of getting put In to the negotiating table. If anyone could do it, I think Donald Trump.

with Russia. So since then he's been emboldened by all the NATO countries and then the you know the war path. First people that are like no, no, we'll keep cutting you unlimited checks and at some level. I'm not sure all those checks made it to the front, but there there. To your point, a lot of innovation has come out of this war. The United States has learned a ton.

The drone developments come a long way, and you have you have lightweight drones with you know, vision systems, UH, some of which can be controlled not one drone by one operator, but little swarms of these things, and they can target vehicle, they could target humans, they can discriminate amongst targets, and they're they're they're getting pretty good at the supply chain for for small, very effective drones, so they're there, they are multiplying their combat power and over time,

I think the drones have done a lot to uh to dissuade Russia and the Russian troops on the battlefield, and they're definitely out competing on the supply chain because they've got Western civilization essentially funneling the supply chain UH and Russia has got you know, China, which is you know, pretty big industrial base obviously, but the level of innovation isn't matching the drums. I mean, we've picked up battlefield

drums and you know, held them in our hands. For the small ones and looked at them in other ways for for bigger ones and looking at you know, what's the state of play for technology on either side, and uh, you know, look there's some encouraging things there. Any wars tragic and pieces of better outcome. So hopefully we resolve it.

bunch of child porn that he downloaded. But beyond that, a lot of questions, a lot of conspiracies swirling out there, and they only seem to be fed more by Trump's position now that there's nothing there that this is somehow Russian collusion or Russian hoax along the lines of the Steele dossier. That seems to be a position change for the president. But Massey's trying to fast track this bill to get those documents released. Where are you, Congressman Davidson, relative to that subject matter?

prosecutions is what I want to know. But I do find it troubling when you know, Pam Bondi comes out and says, I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, you remember the binders and the files that you were had on your desk, like what So the messaging on this has just been atrocious, and I think that's the part, like what the heck are you talking about? And unfortunately, when you look at the public statements that the president's made,

normally he's on message boom boom boom. So you know, the one thing I know about President Trump, though, I mean, one of the things that's defined him is promises made, promises kept. So I'm certainly hopeful that we're going to see this promise kept and where it's really going to be accountability for the people that were trafficking kids and the clients that were you.

He then followed that woman to her home on Lair Road. He confronted a man at the home. It was her husband on the front porch while his wife ran behind

the house. That was the woman he was after. Claarmont County Sheriff's officer said, trying to de escalate the situation with Schulter, The Sheriff's office said, the man went to get his wife from behind the home. That's when Schuilter decided to get his kids out of the car five years old or younger and go into this woman's home while the husband and wife were still out back. He damaged the inside of the home. When the homeowners found him in their house, the husband hit the man in

the face. Sarafa's Chief Deputy Mike White said when he came back from behind the residents, he entered the home and that point the mail inside ended up striking him. Childer grabbed his kids, fled the scene, and ended up getting arrested.

can have a say and getting better candidates. And his retort this morning was why do we even have Central Committee? Aren't we capable of making these choices ourselves? And isn't this just another power play and grab that puts the power in the hands of a small select group of people.

public and they are elected by the grassroots. They get one delegate I call them delegates, one delegate from each neighborhood. They call it a precinct, and they sit on the committee. They vet candidates, and then they endorse them. That's all they do. They can't get they can't, you.

or not. Like newspapers, bloggers, you know, you name it, podcasts, everybody that mentions a candidate or a policy is a pack, and we have to compete in that. We have to you know, just like in military combat, you have to run, you have to charge to the sound of the guns. That's where the battle is. And so like we can wish it was some other way, we can wish it was, you know, that people would just everybody would come out and vote and we'd all vote end mass and decide

who was going to be what. But the battle is in this advertising space where if you want to call it an endorsement, that's that's all an endorsement is. Is that is an ad.

Warren Davidson on. You know why he's our congressman, a congressman of far in Butler County instead of John Banner is because of the Butler County Central Committee was going to endorse Warren Davidson. Banner got a window of it and decided not to run. He said, oh, I got better things to do with my time.

He won our endorsement on the first ballot. And that's because we spent decades, you know, teaching people about Central Committee and getting them on the committee so that they could be there on that one day every two years when the endorsements are made, and so we've seen real impact all across the country, not just here in Ohio.

calling about. But stuff like that ticks me off to no end. Yeah, because they're they're absolute useless people. Absolutely, So I don't have any roosters out here. The neighbors now that I'm on the deck and the water's trickling in the fountain. The neighbor behind me, they've got a lot of land. They have two horses. I give them apples all the time, because you know, Kroger's got to give away fruits and veggies, and we always buy apples.

And these horses they don't make any noise, but they come right to the corner of my yard and just absolutely stare at me. And it breaks your heart.

And he said no, And I said, so it's kind of like firefighters when they have to do the physical to get the job and then they're a firefighter for twenty years and they're very heavy and they couldn't they couldn't pass the physical test again, no recurring training on that. He goes, it's like that, he said. They counted on. Like if you flew with somebody in the cockpit and you thought they were a bit off, you would tell Delta, hey, I'd rather not fly with this person again. They seem,

you know whatever. And I guess if the person got a couple of reports on them, maybe they would pull them in. But they just count on co workers identifying somebody with the problems for what it's worth, but maybe some recurring psychological evaluations would be good. I want pilots in the cockpit. I do not want to not have somebody there. And if somebody on the ground is controlling the airplane, they could have a problem too. And in fact,

they wouldn't kill themselves. They could just murder a bunch of people without committing suicide.

Boeing seven thirty seven max. If they failed to instruct pilots how after the software change. So you know, there are some technological advances that wouldn't require human intervention that might provide an extra measure of safety. But I share

your concerns about the pilotless airplane. That's one of the things he talked about in his articles, like, well, we've got driverless cars and there's far more opportunities for someone to you know, you know, circumstances where you're involved in so much more traffic and so many more opportunities to get into an accident. But we driverless cars, seems logical

that we might be able to have a pilotless airplane. Again, that's not a road I want to go down yet, but I do embrace the idea of maybe incorporating some automatic technology. And his other comment about having some sort of system where we know where all the planes are all the time. That Malaysian airline was a big red flag because there's no tracking ability out in the middle of the ocean where it ultimately crashed. So anyhow, we'll talk about that with Jay Ratliff coming up at the

bottom of the next hour. Hope you can stick around for that, But first the man Steve Gooden, our legal expert on Biden's auto pen use as well as his run for SINCEI City Council. I hope you can stick around for that. Hus happens fast, Stay up to date, at the top of the hour. Not going to be complicated. It's going to go very fast. Fifty five krs the talks your summer backpack of information.

on today. Likewise, you're boring, Brian, and we'll get to the we'll get to it the next subject matter. But congratulations. I heard you are running as a charter right for since a city council in the upcoming election. I thought that was a great development, sir. I know you've been in that role before and I wish you all the best. But we'll touch touch upon the details of that and why you're running next. But let's start with the auto pen.

There's obviously a lot of concern going around. Joe Biden's cognitive deterioration was known by everybody, and it was a big cover up. I don't think anybody can argue against that, although Summer in a state of denial. But how the use of the auto pen I mean, he pardoned or commuted the sentence of literally thousands of people. And as it's been reported by the New York Times, the lists changed.

My takeaway from the reporting on that was he set a set of criteria for people who could qualify to be pardoned, like you know, they're in jail for crack cocaine or whatever, and if you met that that sort of checklist, then you were added to the list. But those lists changed from time to time. He did not personally approve of all the people on any given list, and the and the list and the pardons were sent over.

The autopen was used, and it appears as though Joe Biden authorized it, But question mark, if he didn't specifically authorize it, does that render the pardon null and void? Where are we on this, Steve Gooden?

so that issue specifically did not come up. And really, auto pins really have only existed, you know, for the last like, you know, thirty forty years, really in a way that we're meaningfully used. All we know is this the Constitution says, and you know this as a lawyer, how important the word shall can be. It shall sign, the president shall sign. Now, this issue has never been

to the Supreme Court. There have just been a little legal precedent dealing with autopin use by governors where state courts have found that auto pins as long as there's some evidence that the criteria was directed by the governor, that an autopin signature can be okay, it could be an actual delegation of authority. There needs to be some evidence that they were aware of it. So really it does boiled down to what did Biden know and when

did he know it? Now, our problem. The problem here that the Trump people and James Comer in Congress, who was also trying to review and actually have hold hearings on this matter, what they're going to probably run into is the twenty fifth Amendment, which really is the only constitutional mechanism to challenge the president's line state and potential dementia and things of that nature. It's pretty clear from the limited case law around the twenty fifth Amendment that

it's not retroactive. Was really means that the frankly, Congress should have gone after Biden's mental state while he was still in office, and they might have been able to make some hay out of it. There's a very specific procedure for removing the president under the twenty fifth Amendment, and I swear you know it may well have been there.

just common sense questions to the public. But I mean, look, he partnered forty two I've got for what I found in the New York Times four two hundred and eighty five individuals plusted a mass parton for for folks with certain marijuana offenses in federal prison, and they still can't tell exactly how many people were pardoned there. So he in all likelihood pardon more people than any president in history, including his own son, at the very you know, at

the very end. So it's it's going to be a tough one to History is going to be very hard on him. Whether we can unravel it now is a big question.

a crime, he could be prosecuted for that. Department of Justice takes up the case, his defense will be immediately to hold up the pardon and say, you can't go after me for this some subject to a pardon, at which time you could try to enter into evidence or discover whether or not Biden actually specifically authorized that peremptory pardon, and then it will become an issue for the court. I mean, have I got that writer? Is that a possible avenue to get this in front of a court?

but it's not a true pardon. So there's always it's always dont with things that have actually happened, the idea that there might have been some mistake in the process, or there were selective prosecution, or the person has truly turned their life around and rehabilitated themselves. And it was like an error they made and youth and most presidents have a very you know, robust process for applying for a pardon, and it's you know, and it's a big deal.

The idea of pardoning someone, you know, prospectively or retroactively for conduct that hasn't even been charged. We're in new territory there, and I think Rand Paul's absolutely right. If there's going to be any challenge here, that's where it would be. I will say though, that we haven't dug into this a little bit. This cold concept of.

went through. But then actually Trump, in fairness, did something very similar with the January sixth dependence. It looks like he partoned about sixteen hundreds of those folks just based purely on the fact that they had been arrested that day. So we've been kind of the courts have been sitting on their hands and letting the presidents sort of expand the power. But that doesn't mean it's right, and it doesn't mean it's not right for a challenge.

a justiciable controversy. But in the case of let's say the Vietnam Broad Vietnam Power pardon or the January sixth, who could challenge that, I mean, who would have standing to go in a court and say, no, this is not lawful, this is beyond the power of the president to do.

really happened. Uh, and to bring some people really before Congress to justify about what happened. I will note that Comber, congress Man Comber is sort of going that direction. But there have been some pretty early indications that the Biden people are going to be fighting back in a pretty big way. Including you know, I think there've been an effort already to setina. One of Biden's doctors, guess who was also basically saying, Okay, these conversations are protected. Yeah,

you know, HIPPA and other privileges. So I think they're really going.

do a cognitive exam, everything else is great. His blood pressure is fine, he's healthy. We got no problem. I mean, that's a waiver, right there, is it not?

that being said, it's really hard to say. I mean, there is such a thing as waiver. He would be opening the door. If it were a traditional piece of litigation, cherry picking that information absolutely would constitute a waiver. But you know, in this setting, it's really hard to say. But it definitely was done with with an attempt to sort of mislead and create a false impression. As we all saw at that debate that night.

I appreciate his legal analysis as

always thoughtful and insightful. It is moving over. You're going to start, you're going to run for Since a city council, I saw the charter committee endorse you and four other folks to run for the election. So far, I think twelve people already qualify, which means they've handed in their signatures. You need five hundred signatures. Eight of them are currently incumbents. Victoria Parks is not going to be re running, and so there are some other candidates out there. You are

now among them. First, let's start with have you got your signatures yet? Are you in the process of gathering the signatures? Give until August twenty first to do that.

you know, has run some incredible candidates. Everyone from Ted Airy was the first a American mayor in the late fifties, you know, up through you know, folks like Kevin Flynn, Devin Barbel. It's always been the kind of common sense, good government party that doesn't get involved in national issues, focuses solely on municipal issues, public safety, infrastructure, and the things that people are really crying out for now and Charter. I've always been involved with the Charter Party for the

last twenty years. They've endorsed me every time i've run. It's kind of taken a back seat in the last couple of cycles because of the emphasis, even in local elections on national issues. But our feeling this year was that this is the time when purely Cincinnati issues have come to the forefront. The folks that are running sat Hall right now, from the administration to the mayor to the city council members, they think they're running San Francisco,

and they're not. They're running Cincinnati. And really a lot of the folks involved in the Charter movement are what we used to call blue dog democrats. They're common sense democrats. They're people who just just can't take it anymore. They're sick about the spiraling crime rates and over the run in downtown and in most of our neighborhoods. They're sick about this connected communities nonsense, which is just a total

attack on single family home ownership. They're sick about the state of the roads, and they're really just sick about

City Hall not listening. So this is we feel this is the time to bring the Charter party back and to just absolutely pull the focus back on the common sense Cincinnati specific issues, fixing our police staffing problem, fixing our police morale problem, fixing our fire department, and putting the money we do have into things that people care about, like public safety and fixing our roads.

dorm door knocking. You come on the five Cadcy Morning Show will spread the word on that.

Hyde Park. They gave this well connected developer a waiver for the very program they foisted on everybody, so they could completely transform the dynamic of High Park Square in the face of the vast majority of folks that live in Hyde Parks opposition to that.

cut the fuel to the engines. Now you may want to explain the reason why those even exist, but there's it's I guess fairly well confirmed that the flight data recorder indicates that those switches were turned off shortly after takeoff. One of the pilots asked the other one why he did that, and he claimed he did not do that. There was an effort to turn the switches back on, but by then it was too late. What this I mean?

It's sounding intentional, Jay, And this wouldn't be the first intentional murder slash suicide that's happened on aircraft before it would not.

Left to right is typically how the flight crew would do it, but hero is a situation where you don't know why it took place. Now, a lot of times, as a matter of procedure, if you're flying the airplane, when you get to the gate, one of the last things you'll do is cut the fuel to the engines. It's just a precautionary measure. Stop the float to the

aircraft engine, just part of the protocol. There might be times in flight where you've got a problem with an engine and you need to cut one or even both off at a specific time, but Brian, you.

officer was one that was flying the airplane. His hands were full. You've got the captain that was monitoring, because the pilot and command at that point in time of the aircraft was the first officer, and apparently it was him that looked to the captain and said, why do you turn those offs, to which he responded he did not. Now, could it be something where he did something where he was.

a team effort in everything. So sadly, this latest revelation and the one from the initial report could suggest that we could go through this entire year long investigation.

Scream at the pilots you're doing it? Wrong, or do this rather than what you're doing, or stop what you are doing. I mean that seems like an easy extension of the intelligence we already had.

All these things are there to help the pilots who may have a lot of things going on to remember to do specific things, but something like that, you know, to not you know, plus the engines are humming and you at that point of rotation, they're mum room.

initially detected. So there's a lot of questions here, and we're gonna have to wait and see where things go.

in the conversations this morning with listeners. Do they ever do any follow up mental health screenings of pilots like throughout their career, like hey, every year you got to come in and do a psych check or something like that.

He could have faced ten years in prison, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars fine, as these always are, it's flea dealed down where I think he had to pay fifteen thousand to the gate agent he knocked out. He will face the fine from the FAA, be banned from flying United Airlines ever again. But you know he can fly Delta tomorrow, Yes, the next day, all these other US carriers. A man who's proven to be a threat to fellow passengers and other crew members, perhaps it's allowed

to fly. And I just I think that's wrong. Now, if it's a situation where they get in an argument, disagreement, you know, blah blah. Okay, I get that, we don't want to ban somebody like that. To me, here's a very clear case. You can't put them on the terror watch list, but a clear case of where okay, you've

lost your flying privileges, which is what it is. It is for a year, for two years something where there's some significance with regards to consequences, and Brian, it just doesn't exist because airlines aren't willing to create something like that because it's at a cost for them to create that kind of database, manage that database to keep these individuals off the fly.

eighty right now. Final traffic check from the uc up Tramfhing Center.

Now they're saying, we're doing this because it gives the customer the price they're willing to pay. So it's they're saying it's a good thing for consumers. Now, this is also the same airline that was caught charging more for a single traveler than for a couple traveling on the same route, so sometimes up to seventy percent more So, am I going to necessarily believe that this increase in

AI pricing is for my benefit? No, it's it's for profit and Delta right now is planning as much as twenty percent of their fares to be based on artificial intelligence pricing. And obviously Delta right now is leading the pack with regards to the revenue their performance. They're just a very very well ran airline and they will be setting the pace for other airlines because they'll follow this
