But really just made Landsman look like he was just absolutely way out of his element, and he was Donovan and the Americans were prosperit he's going to talk about the long shoreman strike and how it's going to affect Ohioans eight oh five their return and please please please vote for hamilin County prosecutabilists of powers and all the reasons why you should vote for her. That's eight oh five, and of

course it's Thursday slash Friday Eve. We get to hear from my heart media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe, as we do every Thursday. At eight thirty, we got flight crew reports yet another laser strike called an elt Airlines over a problem gets in his word, weird. Going back to the vice presidential debate, the real id Act could be delayed once more if the TSA has their way, and

we always end on hub delays. I got another story to throw at them too, And as I usually do, I always enjoy hearing from you five one, three, seven fifty, eight hundred eighty two to three talk doown FI fifty on eighteen and T phones. Yes, they're still fighting going on in the Middle East. Yes we still are struggling with the election, but there's other things going on.

very few, have flood insurance. According to the reporting on this, dozens of counties Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina flo body to buy holeyne less than one percent of households have flood insurance to the federal program that Well sells almost one hundred percent of the nation's flood policies one percent. Accord to Jimmy Isaac's fire chief of Boing, North Carolina, said, people never thought they'd have a problem with flooding. It's

going to be a difficult recovery. We're talking about mountain towns. You think water rolls downhill. Flooding might not enter into the equation if you've never had a flood before. I certainly understand that, because Well it costs money to buy flood insurance. Flood insurance is sold separately from homeowners insurance, So check your policy. There's something else need to do and check your policy was a completely different and unrelated article.

You have homeowners insurance isn't enough to rebuild your house. Things you need to consider, like talking to your insurance agent. If you haven't talked with your house insurance agent for a while, replacement costs, the price of that has changed dramatically might not even cover the contents of your home, and inflationary pressures have brought a new reality to what an insurance policy actually do in the aftermath of something

like well, having your house burned to the ground. That's separate story here, But as for the flood insurance again, Federal Emergency Management Agency's National Flood Insurance Program covering about four point six million homes in businesses nationwide, that's basically

the only place you can get flood insurance. Overwhelmingly, people who don't live on the coast do not purchase coverage, either because they aren't required to and there are rules for that, or they can't afford to, or they don't think they're at risk. State flooded by hailingen exemplify the problem. North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Only two percent of households in counties that are declared a federal disaster have

this female flood insurance. South Carolina point five percent of the seven hundred and seventy thousand households in disaster counties out of this insurance zero point eight percent. In North Carolina. Georgia has a higher number, but it's really because of Chatham County, which includes Savannah. There's a yes struggled with hurricanes and flooding in the past. So Georgia comes in at eight and a half percent. But if you take out that one county, the state of Georgia basically has

zero point seven percent covered by a flood insurance. Florida highest rates of FEMA coverage twenty four percent. What about the other seventy five percent?

I don't know if that's part of the FEMA covered area, but it's a great illustration of how bad the devastation can get. Now, if you have these FEMA policies, you get a quarter of a million for rebuilding and one hundred thousand dollars to repair or replace furniture, clothing, and other personal property three p fifty total. That's considering the cost of rebuilding a home these days, and the shortage of building supplies and of course laborers to do it,

therein lies a massive challenge. Now you can get some emergency aid from FEMA. Get a load of this. Residents without insurance at all, you can get some emergency FEMA aid after disaster. FEMA typically gives households only, although it's something a few thousand dollars for emergency expenses and minor home repairs. Moving over to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, they occasionally, apparently, according to the reporting, make

billions of dollars of disaster eight available to homeowners. Let typical government program get a load of.

margins without that option. So, yeah, you look at the devastation and you I just always immediately think of the logistics. How in the hell do you scrape out all the muck, clean everything up, and then rebuild. How long does that take? How do you navigate the supply chain issues related to getting all these homes rebuilt in any given area. Yeah, that's a fundamental challenge in and of itself, and that's just someone standing around with a pile of money waiting

to pay a contractor to rebuild the house. Now you look at the math on this. There are a lot of lower income communities that got devastated by this hurricane, and they don't have insurance. It's pointed out historically when this happened before, quite often people literally lose everything and abandon their properties or have to sell the plot of land that it's.

to be very good. Five to sixteen Right now, fifty five K City Talk Station stick around, play more to talk about I'll be right back.

were impacted by the hurricane have flood insurance. There was a serve by the American Property Casualty Insurance Association to trade Group. They found that a majority of insured homeowners had not taken steps to ensure their coverage was keeping pace with inflation and those increased building costs. It is mentioned meaning you're gonna be under insured if catastrophe strikes.

According to survey, only thirty percent of insured homeowners had increased their coverage to compensate for these rising building costs. In less than half forty percent updated their insurance after completing renovations or a remodel. Have you done improvements to your home? Have you let your insurance company know about that? Well, if not, they're going to take it at base value that your home is the same home that they looked at and issued a policy of insurance with that set

premium based upon the old house. This is the case with my wife and I. I mean, our home is are like our favorite hobby. It's our pet project, and so you know, we do little things for the house throughout the year. And over the twenty five plus years we've been living there, it's a dramatically different place than it was when we bought it. We bought a builder. You know, we were trying to keep our costs down.

We minimize the price of building the home, didn't put special amenities or anything in it, you know, minimize the you know, the standard hollow white doors, and we got the you know, the standard white trim. And over the years we've changed a lot of that. It's time to talk to your insurance agent if that applies to you. Apparently they use computer models to arrive at a replacement cost estimate because a lot of people have replacement cost

insurance and set the policy limits accordingly. Those models may not reflect upgrades in the home that would cost more to build, such as imported custom cabinetry or just new cabinetry. Maybe you got those marble countertops put in or top of the line appliances. If they don't know about it,

it ain't going to be covered. While insurance policies include inflation guard protection automatically increasing the coverage every year, usually seven to ten percent annually, that still might not be enough to rebuild due to fluctuations and replacement costs, supply chain issues. Oh maybe the entire East Coast ports being shut down, which could ady have an impact on home rebuilding.

So if your policy won't pay enough to rebuild your home from the ground up at today's cost, as well as replace your personal property furniture, clothing, et cetera, you

are considered under insured. So they say it's essential to meet with your agent at least once a year, and I'm behind the eight ball on that one to update your limits and notify the agent if you have done any remodeling or updates and completed any other projects that would increase the rebuilding costs and may require an adjustment in your policy limits. So there are other factors to

take into consideration. But you know, I'm just bringing this to your attention because I don't want anyone to get called with their parents down and here I am talking about it. I think after the program today I'm going to make an appointment with my insurance agent to talk about property insurance. Paul Out if you listening, help make a note of it and remind me to get Bob a call.

and rescue mode. It sounds like some residents in these you know, these impacted communities are telling us they feel like local and federal government was caught flat footed. I want to get your reaction to some of what we're hearing, and I guess she rolled some audio from one of those North Carolina residents, guy named Ricky Brown.

and we're executing on that Accordingly. We have been speaking about the fact that the frequency and gravity of extreme weather events have only been increasing. This Hurricane Helen in an unprecedented in the amount of terrain. It is devastated, and we are responding accordingly. People should rest assured that we will be there for them. Really, we've been speaking about the frequency and gravity of extreme weather. So he's going to parlay this into a global warming climate change

kind of thing. Hey, we've been telling everybody about this. How come you didn't get FEMA flood insurance? Well, you know, going back to the FEMA guidelines. FEMA in its old guidelines is the one to determine the areas where if you've got a government back mortgage, you must buy FEMA flood insurance. And most of the areas that got wiped out are not a part of those areas, or at least many of them go to the mountains of North Carolina.

Probably not the FEMA flood map. Well, if you've been speaking about the fact in frequency and gravity of extreme weather, the government is you in this particular case, and the concern about the events increasing, Why doesn't FEMA change its flood map requirements and let people become more aware that they too are at risk of a flood. The information is critical, blaming the residents for not paying attention. Five twenty six fifty five KRC de talk station. Local stories

trustees hosted the meeting. Elected leaders were there and public health officials to address residence concerns about the leak off US fifty to HIO one twenty eight prompted an evacuation more than two hundred homes, shelter and placeholders in effect at the time. Trustee Doug King apologized for the whole situation and personally for myself, I'm sorry for what happened to the residents that had to evacuate and leave their homes. I'm one of them. Styrene is toxic and highly flammable.

When it's in gas form, it can be hard to contain. Dangerous officials feared the railcar might explode. Residents and passing motorists smelled the styrene reported at nine to one one, resulting in several first responders and agencies shown up, as well as the high EPA fire crew's got this leak stop remained on the scene throughout the nine continued putting water on the railcar to monitor it's temperature to make sure it didn't blow up, because thankfully it didn't. Ultimately

detached that railcar removed it from the rail yard. Official said last week one of many news conferences, the probable cause of the week was the additive stabilizer in the car became ineffective. Anyway, I haven't. Undy Commissioner Greg Kestman gave a lengthy presentation at the meeting on Tuesday about styrene, shared air quality data that showed no danger levels of the chemical were detected. What was released into the air

was well below the legal limit. Said, that's styrene coming out of the railcard looks scary and it's not pleasant, but styrene gas is used in all kinds of products that we all come into an exposure with every single day.

one resident. So the vice president of the Central Railroad, Brian Stussy, so that they told the Enos that they're no longer permitted to store parked railcards in the railroad. They must go right to ins. Ineos has kept the railcard and others attached it to the rail rail yard because they didn't have room for them at their site near the Ohio River. Five lawsuits have been filed eleven plaintiffs filed at the federal court, four of which moved

there from state court. Ineos one of the companies named in the lawsuit, along with Central Railroad of Indiana. SO lawsuits of course are going to happen. I just I'm glad to see the levels are about, you know, in check and hopefully no one will suffer from that. Currently, I've got to Brookville, Indiana, currently cost twenty five bucks to sign your child out to be a Girl Scout.

National board proposing a big increase. Girls Scouts at USA considering increasing the annual membership fee to eighty five dollars in twenty twenty six. Troop leader Sally Betterman from Dearborn County I said that would be a huge mistake that the future of Girl Scouts could be at risk. I just feel like a triple jump on numbers is going to dissolve the Girl Scouts in Southeast Indiana. People out here do not pay that kind of money. Sally Betterman

been a Girl Scout troop leader for thirty years. He was the leader for her daughter's troupe, now for her granddaughters. So that's why she's pushing back in the proposal raise the membership dues to eighty five dollars for girls and forty five dollars for adult volunteers. She thinks that the price is too high for many families. Said registration fees give them nothing. She wants to know how the funds are being used. Where does it go. Who's getting the

twenty five bucks. It's not buying our uniforms and not buying our badges, says the risk registration fees don't cover the troops books and materials either, all of it coming out of the parents pockets, she said. Girl Scouts of the USSA said the increase necessary to address rising costs inflationary pressures hitting Girl Scouts the USA. Do you think rising the salaries, Joe?

About a week later, some of the skin on the end of the newly constructed unit began to die due to lack of oxygenated blood flow aka necrosis. Doctors, though, successfully treated the condition and reversed the damage. Despite these efforts, the men to continue to experience hallucinations and even attempted

to escape from the hospital at one point. He was then moved placed under psychiatric care and his treatment included antipsychotic medications to help control his delusions. Doctors at one point discovered that the man had smuggled magic mushrooms into the hospital, dashing them on his bedside table, which they believe caused his ongoing hallucinations. After stabilizing his mental health in one week's passes, he has moved back to the

Eurology department to continue recovery. Despite the drastically reduced size, apparently function returned and he was able to at least urinate on his arm. Theoregra I'm gonna go ahead and finish this story. Yes, there are even more details. Surgeons offered to circumcise the penis, which would have given the chef a longer appearance. Anyway, the man said no, he was currently satisfied with the current situation and doesn't wish further surgery at this time.

That's okay, we go back to the stack of Stupe who got An Italian woman who earned a Guinness World Booker Record. Her tongue was confirmed to have the largest circumference ever measured for a woman, larger than a ping pong ball in circumference. Ambro Kaleena, thirty seven years old, told Ginness

Her tongue measured three times by a doctor average five point four to four inches, taking away the female record from Oregon resident Jenny Duvander, who's was warded the title earlier this year with a measurement of five inches as to the male version currently held by Belgian Sasha Finer, his tongue

First incident reported happened in July or January rather twenty three. The sky Luccio Eppina accused her of cheating and forced her into the basement, where he had a bucket on the floor in a rope hung on a ceiling beam. He made her stand atop the bucket, she testified, and then he put the rope around my neck. At one point she

slipped off the bucket and hung in the air. She reportedly said, only for her husband to take her down. Then, about two months later, during another argument about infidelity, he began to look her down took her down to the basement again, where he forced her into a children's swing hanging from a ceiling. She testified. He tied me up with the rope with a metal wire around my arms and threw my back. I couldn't get up if I wanted to, she said.

Four mentions of incidents undoubtedly torture. According to Kemp, County Prosecutor Angela Curtis, his intent was to inflict as much pain and suffering as possible, the prosecutor argued, the end of the first day opening statements, Luccio Opina had apparently seem enough. He pleaded no contest the two counts of torture and witness interference. No contest plea is not an omission of gil, but is treated such during sentencing, which is schedule for October twenty eighth.

One of the parents, thirty four year old Jonah Harrington from Palm Coast, showed up and immediately confronting the confronted law enforcement, he ran up to a deputy and shoved him. When two other deputies tried to detain him, Harrington struck one officer on the hand and resisted the efforts of a third deputy to

Local Sheriff Ricky stally commenting, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

he is every Monday. This smith event talking about how this is going to or already is, in his perspective, wrecked the economy, and it's really going to cause some serious supply issues, and I suspect the Long showmen are

ultimately going to get their their deal. We were talking literally billions and billions of dollars in shipping containers not being unloaded, not being processed, sitting on the otherwise, sitting on a ship because they can't be unloaded, and of course anything in there that is perishable, you can write that off. Gerd your loins on getting your car fixed too. Anyhow, we had a local news report on that in how it's going to impact our local economy real quick.

America's system. Apparently, reports of this outage we're flowing into down Detector, which is an online site where they report outages. Thousands of customers complained that they were unable to access their online accounts. Those customers Bank of America customers who did gain access were met with z zero dollars posted on their balance and comparently by one PM the number of reported out just up to eighteen thousand. It tapered off by five PM. Many the reports coming from major

cities Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Seattle. Bank of America Fritz part had this to say, some clients are experiencing an issue and accessing their accounts and balances information. Today, these issues are being addressed and have largely been resolved. We apologize for the inconvenience. Fine, so let's say they resolved it and your balance is accurate. Now, isn't this a frightening sort of reality? We really so much on computer technology and ones and zeros. It's not like the

bank has your money in the vault. It exists online in a some nefarious entity, maybe something from the Chinese Communist Party perhaps were to gain access and get in there.

They are a constant nuisance to the Israelis. Israelis have been sort of keeping their powder dry and stomaching and dealing with without a major retaliation, the incessant bombardment from both of those terrorist organizations with their indiscriminate rocket attacks into Israel. Well, October seventh was the enough is enough day. By ignoring Joe Biden and his advisors and not keeping their powder dry, what do they do? They went into Gaza and wiped the place out. Now I know there

were civilian casualties. Thus is a that is a consequence of war. You can never eliminate all of them. But people aren't giving Israel enough props for letting everybody in advance know they're coming to the neighborhood. You might want to get out because the bombs are going to be flying. And of course keep in mind that these murderers, these terrorist organizations designated by the United States as terrorist organizations

brought it on themselves. So now the options are being weighed because the massive ballistic missiles barrage that Iran through at Israel is going to warrant a response, and of course Israel said they will respond. What will be the size of the response. Some are saying, this is the ideal time to go after the nuke program. Go ahead, get in there, do it now. You got Jimas on the run, You got the Hisbola folks on the run.

They don't represent that challenge that they did before when their membership was intact, when their leadership hadn't been eradicated. Start launching into Iran. Many are saying, former Israeli Prime Minister and and if Tali Bennett had this to say, Hasbal and Himas are paralyzed temporarily and Iran is exposed right now, they're naked. They don't have the ability to protect themselves. Israel has the greatest opportunity in fifty years to change the face of the Middle East. Some are

suggesting maybe regime change. Prior to nineteen seventy nine, and the Iran was actually a playful neighbor with Israel, they got along quite nicely. So with Hamasa viscerated as a fighting force given the Israeli year long campaign in Gaza, blowing up all the tunnels, getting rid of their infrastructure, getting rid of their attack and command. You got his Bala now described as in disarray after a series of Israeli blows, decapitating its leadership and destroying a significant part

of its weapons stock file. So those threats don't exist to your own people. They're the ones that butt up against Israel, right Lebanon in Gaza. That's you know, at one point even were part of Israel. Look back at your history of the series of conflicts and wars Israel has been in over the years. Hell, they one time owned had the entire Sinai peninsula part of Egypt.

people that Iran killed in their missile strike. I don't understand that logic, honestly, folks, but that's the argument that's being made. So ultimately, Iran now facing potentially devastating blow to its own military, civilian infrastructure because they don't have the strong Hazbala and Hamas terrorist organizations to keep the Israelis busy and threaten their people. When it's pointed out, Israel is five hundred and fifty miles away from Iran.

at some point. Iran doesn't have the defense industrial capability to churn out missiles at the rate that would be needed to keep the war going, and it won't be able to buy these missiles elsewhere because the only country that might transfer them, Russia, is using them up in

it's war with Ukraine. Interesting point, so, he said, due to this in balance, if there's a significant Israeli response coming up, well it's Iran's interest to just absorb the blow rather than escalate the fight further, because they will be blown off the map. Biden has different perspectives. When I asked yesterday if he'd supported an Israeli strike on Iron's nuclear facilities, he had one word to say.

or peace. President engaged already in public lobbying aimed to block the Israelis and the government there from defending itself and what its best response might be to the military attack the multiple hundreds of rockets flying into Israel. Wall Street Journal notes this is the thinking that has led to the collapse of the US deterrence on Biden's watch. Enemies rely on him to come to their defense while

restraining allies from responding to aggression. Mister Biden didn't even wait to keep Iran guessing where he is bomb the new facilities, No, says Biden. Well, that options off the table, thinks Iran. Oh, they probably don't though, because they've been paying attention to international affairs. They've been paying attention to Israel, not heeding the Biden administration's strong demands to enter into a cease fire, formerly over in Gaza and now in Lebanon.

it has by attacking has Balah in Lebanon. Options abound, and I think Israel's going to do whatever the hell Israel thinks is in Israel's best interests, believing probably that

the relationship between US and Israel will will continue. Coping up with six eighteen fifty five ker Ced Talks day, Yeah, I mentioned that local reporting on the ports shut down and in that Relotior report and they interviewed some independent garage owner who talked about COVID and the problems that COVID brought about with supply chain and that some cars were sitting in his you know, repair a lot three four or five months waiting for parts to come in.

I don't want that to happen to you. But with the ports being shut down now, maybe be the best possible time to get it. Get into Foreign Exchange, get your car serviced, or you know, just bump up the timing and get it ready for winter earlier. Because if you need parts or service, you want to get them well. Well supply chains haven't been completely exhausted yet and I hope they work that out, and I hope this doesn't

become a problem, but you know, just planning ahead. Foreign Exchange is the place to go for your imported car. The best thing about Foreign Exchange you get great mechanics there, a SE's certified, They have your manufacturers technical information, they know how to fix your car. You will get a

full warranty on parts and service. But the difference between Foreign Exchange and the dealer is, yes, the money it'll cost you less to get your car serviced at Foreign Exchange, So schedule appointment.

It is amazing what we can do on our own. Of course, if you have health conditions, make sure you look at the labels and also consult with your primary doctor to get the right advice, but healthy people can get rid of despite quoteam like

It's up to us to pick up the baton and not vote for people like Sharon Brown, who voted for the mandate for COVID nineteen and also is continuing to vote for a legislation called Cure Us Act. If you read the Course Act, you will never vote for a Democrat again. Because what's happening with the Course that is adding to national debt. It's paying the doctors and facilities and pharmacies to do

what they should be doing. And it's a medicaid and now the twenty million people they're brought in, they're paying them too. So it's amazing how ignorant we've been ourselves. It's our fault. It's not the politician's fault. It's not anybody else is. We need to run up our sleeve and spend some time away from football games and stuff and catch up.

Exemptions are allowed in certain circumstances, like religious exemptions or medical exemptions, but United States and territories require children attending childcare centers and schools devaccinated against a number of diseases measles, monthfolio, tetanus, will be cough in,

chicken pox. All states they'll allow for exemption for children with medical conditions preventing them from receiving certain virus, and most also permit exemptions for religious or non medical reasons. That's the area where the number of people requesting exemptions has increased. In the post COVID world, people are becoming more skeptical because of all the information and in some

cases misinformation that's been floating around around that. Let us see here local stories in terms of the strike which is going to impact our region. Wcpo's Shondalaney as talking to Janet Harris. She's an economist with Northern Kentucky University's Hail College business, so it doesn't matter where people live

in Extended strikes, she said, will impact us in multiple ways. Quote, you care about because fifty percent of the imports and exports from the United States go in and out of those sixteen ports from Maine to Texas, she said, even though inflation is cooled significantly, well, there's this significant risk

as at least enjoyable as I did. The Department of Homeland Securities Office of Intelligence and Analysis issued it's twenty twenty five Homeland Threat Assessment this week. The same in the United States, facing threats such as physical and cyber attacks to its critical infrastructure, terrorism also through in climate change, of course they did. And threats to the twenty twenty

four election. Hmmm, if your vote is already in and recorded, if there is a subsequent threat to the twenty twenty four election, or is the problem with your polling plays, your vot's already been tabulated anyhow, court to the report, the twenty twenty four election cycle will be an attractive

target for many adversaries. Some domestic violent extremists likely view a wide range of targets indirectly and directly associated with elections as viable targets for violence, with the intenements stealing fear among voters, candidates, and election workers, as well as disrupting election processes leading up to and after the November election.

However, the report did note while fiscal year twenty twenty four, year to date, overall migrant encounters at the US Mexico Board remain high compared to pre pandemic historical trends and the Trump administration, the numbers have declined. It's called closing the barn door after the cows run out in the field,

isn't it. And we got twenty million. You think that's enough, fellas? Yeah, I go ahead and closed the door, at least symbolically. Do We'll just reduce the numbers in an effort to well, we'll make us look better before the campaign. But what about the twenty million people we let in and the six hundred and fifty thousand people with criminal records, including thirteen thousand murderers. Paying no attention that the mainstream media will not echo that figure in spite of the fact

that it came from our own governance figures. Just lay low for a while and prompt the and keep propping up the idea that the numbers are down, Yeah, down from the insanity that we had about a moment in

time ago. They also noted in the report that most of the migrants coming in of the US illegally are not from the Western hemisphere, so is now our border personnel encounter individuals from around the world from all parts of the world, include conflict zones and other areas where individuals may have links or can support ties to extremists or terrorist organizations that we have a long we have

long standing concerns about. Ah, that's comforting. Well, you know, I hope we never have to say I told you so, And in many cases we already have to say I told you so. With all the crime, and I know crime is rampant generally speaking, and that much of the crime in the United States is criminal is well done

by US citizens. But if you have an open border and you could have kept people out, knowing full well that countries like Venezuela were hemorrhaging the population and emptying their prisons out, you might want to have a few more controls at the border to prevent those folks from coming in because apparently a lot of them are criminal already, and a lot of them have already committed crimes here in the United States, including rapes of children and murder.

So something really hits the van. I just want everybody remember who's responsible for this. Kamala Harris, Joe Biden six forty seven fifty five krc DE talk station. And of course they're puppet masters, but we never do particular note prid specifically who they are. We're just left to guess.

USA Installation Premium fom an awesome thing to do for your home, for yourself comfort, all year long comfort without your HVAC system fighting an uphill battle at One of the added benefits of USA premium foam in your walls is your equipment will last longer. As think about the commercial presummer, the AC unit will last longer with the premium phone because it doesn't have to run as hard.

Makes perfect sense, doesn't it. But USA's phone is designed to provide you with immediate noticeable comfort the day it's installed, and then every single month you're using your HVAC system, you will save money guaranteed savings from USA. I just opened my energy bill the other day.

and Neil Longshorman strike. He's Americans for Prosperity speaking about the strike and how it's going to affect us, Hamill kind and prosecute a list of powers to eight oh five and then Acramedia aviation expert Jay Rattliffe at a thirty real quick here Kyrson Massey was on the program here yesterday. I start going to encourage you to listen

to the podcast of that. He didn't get a chance because he was been pestering Attorney General Merrick Garland and threatening consequences that they didn't do their damn job and handover the report on the FBI agents involved. In January sixth, Massey sent a letter along with ten other members of

the House Judihiary Committee. He mentioned this the other day after testimony by the Department of Dog's Inspector General suggesting that the FBI had confidential human sources on the Capitol grounds that day, and as congress from Massey pointed out, these folks were involved with a lot of these so called protesters way in advance of January sixth Congress of Massey.

Under the impression, as are many of my listeners, that the FBI was egging people on and check this out, Trump was on law, going on record yesterday, you know, blasting the Justice Department for well disobeying their own long held rule in favor of complete and total election interference. This after a special filing from special counsel Ax Smith's election case against them was unsealed right ahead of the election. With all these salacious allegations, allegations which include I love this.

They say Donald Trump he lied to state officials, induced them to ignore true vote counts, manufactured fraudulent electoral votes, on and on and on and then and when all else had failed, the report states, on January sixth, twenty twenty one, Donald Trump directed an angry crowd of supporters to the United States Capital to obstruct the congressional certification.

include information in that regard. I'm not in a position to say that, both because it's in draft form and we have not gone through the classification reviews, so I need to be careful.

Congress will hold you accountable. That's going to happen down the road if, of course, Donald Trump gets elected, because Massey pointed out, if Harris gets elected, this report will disappear and never see the light of day. But he did get a bit of admission from Horowitz asked him about reimbursements of federal agents. Hey, did you reimburse federal agents for travel to get.

cchs's were reimbursed for travel for January. Horowitz replies, as I sit here, I don't recall the number, and if I did know it, I wouldn't be in a position to tell you that a tacit admission that at least some of those FBI agents were in fact reimbursed for travel to get to the January sixth.

high school girl and sounded like one. Welcome back, my friend.

of just faith and confidence in government. And that's telling, and it's telling, especially when all you can say is, oh, no, that's a lie. Yeah lie, that's like, well, we'll prove it's a lie. In fact, the American people would really just appreciate if you said, that's exactly how I voted. Here's why it's the best interest in the American people, and what we saw last night from our opponent was exactly what people are tired of. They don't want politicians

that say one thing and do the complete opposite. They want results, They want these problems fixed, and that's exactly what we're going to do when win this election.

of Israel through Lebanon. You got to ask the question, how are these terrorist groups of Hesbela and Hamas and the Huthis getting the resources, the armament, the money that they need in order to conduct these horrible attacks on innocent civilian life, whether it's Israeli, Lebanese, Palestinian, Well, it's from nation states like Iran who are held bent on destroying not just the peace and the infrastructure of the Middle East, destroying the nation of Israel.

through American money that we sent. Well, listen, Greg Landsman had the opportunity as a US congressman for the first Congressional district to vote not once, but twice for an appropriations bill that would have stopped US taxpayer dollars from going to Iran. Literally, those bills explicitly called for that, and he votes no not once, but twice in a bipartisan bill at that both of those had Democratic support

and Republicans reached across the out. Guess what Greg Lansman did not only just vote no, It was telling that he didn't even know what I was talking about. And this is a pattern, Brian, because just last week, right we checked the reports that for a comments and these are common sense bills we're talking about. They're not rocket science. US taxpayer dollars should not go to countries whose interests

are adverse to US. Okay, here's another common sense bill where just last week there was a bill that was put on the House floor that would have held accountable illegal immigrants that committed domestic violence or sex crimes against women, to deport them. There are legal immigrants, they're committing these heinous crimes. They should be deported. Greg Lansman votes know on that bill. Okay, national news reports here are the list of Democrats that vote know on this common sense

bill to hold illegal immigrant criminals accountable. And what does he do. He says, no, actually that was an accident. It was an error, and then submits a retraction to the recorders of the clerk. Of course that says, actually I meant to vote yes, and then calls me out for highlighting it and basically just retweeting that national news report of him voting no. That raises more questions than

it gives answers. Do you even read the bills that come before you in Congress as you're representing the people in southwest Ohio? So it's no surprise to me he didn't know what I was talking about. Clearly he didn't know the bill that I was referring to last week when he said he voted an error. And this is a pattern, Brian, It's a pattern of just wrong leadership,

failed leadership, a leadership that does not lead. Instead, it heard follows whatever the top of my party says, whatever Hakeem Jefferies tells me to do, I'm going to do instead of actually having a backbone and standing up for all of the constituents in Southwest Ohio.

open border. We can blame Greg Landsman in part for that. Now, our border personnel encounter individuals from around the world, from all parts of the world, including conflict zones and other areas where individuals may have links or can support ties to extremists or terrorist organizations that we have long standing

concerns about. That's the kind of people who might very well have come across the southern border, either because even after an encounter with an immigration customs official or as a known god away. We have about two million of those.

thousand of them are for homicides. I mean, that is just that's crazy to think that we have allowed this problem to continue to persist and persist, and again when you look for leadership that's actually going to solve the problem and not help create it or allow it to continue to perpetuate its policies offered by my opponent that

actually do not solve the problem. He had the opportunity multiple times in Congress to not just renounce and hold accountable the administration for its failed border policies.

the number of five thousand per day. Come on, Brian. That lacked all common sense. That's not a fix that continues to precipitate this problem. And the thing that I wanted to make it abundantly clear that night is that I am not only a product of legal immigration system. I'm going to be the biggest proponent for immigration in this country because I have lived it. I've lived the

American dream. I know what it's like where you are born in another country, you come into the greatest country in the world, the United States of America, to pursue opportunity and advance your life and the life of your family through your own hard work and grit and work ethic. But there's a legal way to do it. And we've got to make sure that we certainly don't want to send a message out there that we don't want people

to come in. We absolutely want you to come in, but we want you to do it the legal way, the way that's going to be best for you, best for your family, best for the American people. My dad, Brian, had to wait five years to be a naturalized citizen. He had to take a test, he had to raise his right hand, and he did it proudly. And what we're seeing right now across this country with over fifteen million legal immigrants, that's just stressing our economy. It's stressing

our labor force. Are hard working American citizens that now are paying in some states for illegal immigrants healthcare, their right to get a driver's license. Now, Greg Lansman again the common sense bill that would have in short protection so that non citizens do not get the right to vote. He votes no for that as well. I mean, these are common sense policies that we just are desperate to see, especially now with all these problems and issues. We want

to actually see leadership, substance policy. We will get it done when we win this election.

Are going to do to help write to this ship of our economy.

congressional seat. And here's the thing. When it comes to the economy again, these are common sense solutions that my opponent has just not been for because instead he just wants to advance the agenda of his party. When we've got over thirty four trillion dollars in national debt, you do not take positions like my opponent did. And we highlighted this from the get go in the debate. Is when we face impending government shutdown last year, what did

my opponent do. He sided with every member of his party signed a discharged position, a petition that said, let's raise the national debt, dealing with zero cuts and government spending, zero cuts, in government spending. How in the world are we going to fix this trillions and dollars of debt problem? If you're taking positions like that, no, we've got to cut government spending. And Mike Dartis, the moderator, was correct to follow up and say, well, how would you do that?

Where would you start? Look, we don't need to do the homework. This is already a lot of this research and analysis has been done, and it's done every year. The Government Accountability Office, the Federal Government of Accountability, does a report every year that they give to Congress and they recommend a number of places that you can start in government where you have redundancy duplication in government spending.

And the last report that was published just this past summer shows over one hundred and twelve recommendations that the GAO gave to Congress and said you could start here to the tunes of millions, if not billions of dollars. Now, I'm not going to agree with everything in that report, but you can at least start there, because it's clear that our federal government has identified where there's weaknesses in

its spending. But also highlight here, Brian, is that it's the fraud, waste and abuse that we know as going on in federal government that we've got to hold people accountable, hold leadership accountable, and it starts at the top. That's how you fix this problem. Now, I'll let you follow up with the tax question because you know with that I can talk for hours on tax but I think you know where I stand on common sense tax policy.

the program, Donovan, Brian, happy to be here. Well, let us talk about this long shortman strike. I think they've got the administration by the short and curly. To be quite candid with you, this is literally every single week, multiple billions of dollars of commerce that are being shut down at our ports, and I keep reading reports about a lot of produce comes in, like bananas was one of the number one things. It's going to be a problem.

We consume more bananas than anybody in the world. It's the most the largest consumed fruit in the United States, and yet it doesn't have a very long shell for shipping life, Meaning these bananas are going to rot in the ports. That's just the tip of the iceberg, though, Donovan.

And you know what crazier time to have this happen in about thirty days out from an election, going into the holiday season, where you've got the entire longshoreman's union in Bolden to shut down their operations and go on strike because they're not happy with their six figure paying jobs. It's outrageous. And you know, again, the Biden administration could fix this very easily by invoking Taft Hartley. But right now we've got longshoreman on strike.

invoked half Hartly. You can't really get around that, can you, Donovan?

employers and those investing in businesses, and so we need to rebalance these things. But what we can't do is allow these folks to cripple our economy. And that's what the union leader had said. He see, you know, the quote from him was, in today's world, I'll break you to the American people. You can't these are folks.

you have that argument, I guess the coin. The other side of the coin on that is, though, well, for the vast majority of the West Coast, which is mostly made up of California, it's a hell of a lot more expensive to live there, so we have to pay them that much so they can afford to even have a place to live after the work days. Over most of the East Coast has areas that are in fact affordable, at least by comparison.

But I think here's another thing that you know, I think folks, as they begin to get connected to what this what's going on in our ports and some of the challenges we have with bringing goods in and out of our country, these aren't efficient operations either, and that's one of the things that the unions are fighting back against. The long shoremen are fighting back against. And really we need is we need to improve our efficiency automation to hear it, Yeah, bring a lot more automation, audition.

using semi tractor trailers. No, but what makes us less competitive as a destination for shipping If we are not as efficient as places elsewhere, then that's where the jobs are going to go, and that's where the shipping is going to go, ultimately reducing the number of long shoremen needed in.

export them. Right when President Trump talks about trade a lot. If we have inefficient ports that are bogged down and aren't able to run as twenty four to seven cycles the way the world operates now, we're not going to be able to get back to being that global leader in manufacturing. Here's so many of our elected officials talk about, and that's that's a bigger part of it, beyond just the immediate effect of a strike and what someone's getting

paid in their job. It's thinking about the larger American economy and positioning us for success in the future.

of Trump. So how does he navigate this message? We got problems on the with the longshoreman. They obviously want a whole lot of money. Many of us might find it a ridiculous demand, but they won't even sit down to the table unless they get their seventy seven percent salary increase. And then come demands related to automation and

other you know, sub sub points. But where is Trump on this and how does he delicately navigate this difficult challenge knowing we need these ports open, but not wanting to concede these perhaps ridiculous demands from the longshoremen.

their union workforce alongside them. And I think what you've found as workers have recognized that, hey, maybe the union, the union bosses don't always have my best interests or my values in mind when making those demands. And so I think we're, you know, with something We've seen that with President Trump. He is a willingness to talk to unions and sort of understands and be able to communicate well with with folks who, you know, come from a manufacturing,

blue collar background where traditionally Republicans have struggled there. But but I think part of what we see in this right is is the symptom of the larger challenges that we've seen in the last three and a half years, where you have an executive agency that, rather than calling balls and strikes and making sure it's fair for everybody, is sort of putting an imbalance on the in the equation and putting putting union bosses in a in a

stronger position rather than having an even playing fill, which is the idea behind all of this in the first place. So it's an it's an interesting thing to navigate.

and than they've ever been. And the main thing we're hearing out there right is, you know, they there are folks who have been who have voted for Shared Brown in the past, because he's been one of those folks who has who has presented himself as somebody who's here for working Ohio in But what they've realized is that as we've talked about his thirty year record, we've talked about his cozy enough to folks like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and others in the progressive wing of the

Democrat Party, he's not the person in DC that he presents himself as here in Ohio, and they're looking for another option. And that's what our job is is to help connect folks to Burning Loreno's positive vision for our country that's going to unleash prosperity, an opportunity, lower energy costs, secure our border, and get this country back to the

American Cancer Society reporting on this breast cancer statistics. Mortality rate, though, has declined since nineteen eighty nine. This is great news in terms of breast cancer. The mortality rate has declined by forty four percent. The only problem is diagnosises of breast cancer have been rising one percent every year between twenty twelve and twenty twenty one, so significant increase in

the percentage. Biggest spike seen among women younger than fifty that's averaging one point four percent per year increase, with Asian American and Pacific Islander women seeing a two point seven per year percent per year increase.

You know, it was just absolutely fortuitous that I found out I had at But as the doctor from HC pointed out, regular breast exams, your annual mimographies, paying attention to changes in the brass like dimples and maybe discharge from the nipple of that kind of thing. Early detection is the key to survival. So it's wonderful, wonderful that the number of fatalities has decreased so significantly, and God bless those involving cancer researcher and you know, getting closer

and closer to finding a cure. But the key obviously is early detection. So younger women, you of course definitely need to pay attention to this, and so just passing along that information for your knowledge and enlightenment. Knowledgeable, enlightened and an excellent prosecutor. We need to keep Melissa Powers in the job here in Hamilton County. She'll join the program after the news filled by iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Ratliff at eight thirty.

that's important. You're Hamilton County Prosecutor. And I'm always scratching the surface on this, but you have so much experience in this role and a demonstrably successful record in your role as Hamilton County Prosecutor, so we normally focus on you. You're a co pomplishments and your record. Let us pivot over and look at what Connie Pileage is and what she certainly is not, which is qualified for the job.

Go to Connie Pillage dot com, look at Meet Connie Pillach and find me something in her background that qualifies her to be Hamilton County Prosecutor. Let us begin with the fact that she's never prosecuted a single case in her life.

an abuse, neglect or dependent child case. These are all cases that my office handles, that I have experienced in over thirty two years in handling these types of cases, and we have to make sure that we get it right this November.

knew about the rules of civil procedure. To start practicing law after so much time would be a bit of an uphill challenge, I'll admit it. I'm not planning on doing it, but you do tend to lose touch with what the law is now versus what it was the last time you were in a courtroom.

bodycam war and cameras. I mean, it is just an immense amount of information that's just on the evidence side. But then you look at all the rule changes and the case wall changes. She's the date on any of this. She has not been practicing, she's not current. And when you try a murder case, you've got one shot at handling it properly. And if you make the mistake, the responsibility as a prosecutor, you're letting that person who when there is overwhelming guilt, to go free because you made

a mistake. And we just can't afford to have that happen here. And if you think also, if you had to and to relate this to another area, if you need to open heart surgery, would you go to a surgeon that has performed a surgeery in over twenty years? I mean, can you imagine. I mean, that's what we're dealing with here. The stakes are so high and the voters and your listeners, we need to get it right.

am so qualified for this job. There has never been a prosecutor with my qualifications where they have experienced and from every aspect from defense work, civil work, criminal law, and then also being a judge.

You want victims of crime, don't care if you're a Republican or a Democrat. They want red resolution and what we have here, and especially on victims of sexual abuse.

She's not qualified. She didn't

even maintain her law license. She said, such a little interest and being a lawyer that she didn't even maintain her law license, had to re enact it when she was co chair of the Democratic Party and decided that since they couldn't find anyone to run against me, she would throw her hat in the ring on this race. This is not a position that she's looking that she wants to do. I have a passion. I have served

our community in this capacity. I have a passionate a lot for our county, and I want to make sure that the future of our county is not just next week. It's for future generations to come.

heels of the vice presidential debate where JD. Vance was being called out loft and right ver wait wait wait, wait, all right, but how about the story with housing immigration related housing costs? You know, vamsplained Kamala Harris border policies for, in his words, allowing twenty five million illegal aliens into the US during her tenure in the Biden Harris administration. He claimed the surge of migrants has contributed to higher

housing prices. Competing with Americans for scarce homes is one of the most significant drivers of home prices in the country, he said. It's why we have massive increases in home prices that have happened right alongside massive increases in illegal aliens alien populations under Kamala Harris's leadership. Moderator pok Advance, Well, Senator, on that point, I'd like for you to clarify that there are many contributing factors to high housing costs. What

evidence do you have that migrants are part of this problem? Said, Oh, there's studies out there. Federal Reserve studies I happy to give you after the debate, because I don't have it in my hand.

of Housing Economics from back in twenty seventeen. They found, back then before the massive influx, that immigration inflows into a particular metropolitan statistical area is associated with increase in rents and with housing prices in that area, while also

driving up rents and prices and neighboring statistical areas. Day and a July reports from the Congressional Budget Office, which said, in the CBO's words, research literature has generally found that increases in immigration raise state and local government spending, particularly on education, healthcare, and housing, more than their revenues.

people who want roofs over their head, after all. Bringing the discussion back to Springfield, Ohio, this report rights where advance started. Housing prices have increased as more Haitian migrants have moved in. According to REDFN, the median sell price of a single family home sold there increase from seventy eight five hundred dollars in August twenty nineteen to one hundred and fifty eight thousand dollars in August twenty four

a one hundred and one percent increase in nominal terms. Now, for those who say, well, COVID, COVID, COVID change the housing market, you're right, but the nationwide increase was forty six percent of the Catos Institute. That has made renters and first time home buyers worse off in Springfield and

homeowners who are mostly native born better off. Why because they already have a house and the amount of money it's worth has increase, so to their economic advantage, but to the disadvantage of some young person in the Springfield area who might want to acquire a home. Finally, there was a House Oversight committee hearing the Center for Immigration

Studies director of research, a guy named Stephen Camarata. His analysis said, quote, a five percentage point increase in recent immigrant sheriff Metro's areas population is associated with a twelve percent increase in the average US born household's rent relative to their income. So jd Vance had it right. I mean,

let's face it. Facts, you have a certain number of homes in an given environment, you have twenty million new people adding to the three hundred and forty plus or mind is folks that live there already obviously supplying to man, it's going to be impacted. Eight twenty five right now, the man, the myth, the legend is. I heard media aviation expert Jay Ratlo coming up next. We'll have some fun with Jay, as we always do, at least I hope, so I love these these segments we do.

Would be like a laboratory that's having some issues. But yeah, and they're going to err on the side of caution each time because when they start having that take place, you're worried about other passengers. But again, and I hate to always have to say this, but you know what, from a legal standpoint, when they're made aware of something that could be a potential problem, you are then measured by your response to that situation that you know could

be an issue for your passengers. How did you respond, you were where something was going on, what did you do next? And you know that's one of the other reasons that from the law side of things, you want to do everything you can to show that you are

responding to the event as it's taking place. And that's why they air on the side of caution and normally try to get that aircraft on the ground as soon as they can to make sure that whoever's been impacted can be treated, and also to make sure that they can remove the passengers from the cabin before anybody else starts to show any sort of reaction to the conditions.

off sometimes in affect other passengers. And it's not an easy one to have because like telling somebody they're too big to fit into a single seat and they need to buy two.

face of the flight crew. They are momentarily distractive. Now keep in mind they'ret a critical time of flight. They're on normally on takeoff or landing. Most time landing is they're coming in low and the last thing you want to do is distract the pilots. Now, we've had some pilots that have actually incurred eye damage because of this, Some have been forced to stop flying because of it.

And I think from what I remember from that report Brian in Boston, this was we've had more than eight thousand of these this year.

That they're placing the lives of everybody on that aircraft at risk when they do that kind of crap, and the idea that it continues and continues and continues, and some of these numbers have escalated big time over the years. I mean, we've got to catch them so we can start making examples out of people, because I mean, throw them in jail, do something that sends the message that this kind of activity is absolutely well dangerous in your endangerable lives of many people, and it's.

and b it impacts our nation's economy. Why aviation has been and continua will be target, whether it be airports or aircraft.

this awkward call, wondering what the world's going on. But what's the odds of calling somewhere and your ex girlfriend, which apparently may not have ended on the best of terms, answers the phone, and she's the one that's gonna try to save the day for you.

Every Brian, it's what you act like. It has to do with aviation security or something. You sound alarmed. What's the big deal, right?

There's a lot of things that they'll use. You'll have to go through some extra screening, get ready for that enhanced pat down. But the point is there's ways to work. The TSA is easy to work with in a lot of ways as long as you give them advanced notice. But the problem with this real id act is it's almost going to be twenty years after it was the deadline.

But is that a government situation or what? It just it blows my mind because I'm thinking this is a security related issue and we're okay, well a twenty year delay over when it's just well nineteen excuse me, don't send me an email.

Fake ID is possible, and it's currently being done. A lot of people get in touch with our partners over in China and have you know young people who looking for a fake ID can have those made and sent home to your front door.

You know, our faces scan within three seconds they're starting the process checking our bags. We don't have to pull out our ID. We go to the TSA checkpoint. Instead of that, the facial recognition boom away you go, and even at the gate, the same sort of situation that

allows us to then bord our airplane. The thought is to make it more seamless as we travel now, a lot of people that don't like government being too big, too intrusive, or saying I don't want that, and they're saying, okay, that's fine.

way you go. So they're trying all kinds of different avenues with advanced technology to try to make things easier and faster.

end of the air traffic middle of December on. If this strike goes on for weeks, we could see some issues that start to impact flights next year, and we don't want that because if parts cannot be delivered, that means certain airplanes can't be used. Now, airlines might have a few extra aircraft they can substitute into the fleet in the aircraft rotation, but you can only do that from a flow control standpoint for so long, and then all of a sudden, you're gonna have to start canceling flights.

That means fewer flights in the air, That means higher fares. We don't want that, which is one of the reasons that we need to get it resolved soon, the same reason we want the Boeing strike to be resolved soon. Boeing has like forty eight hundred back orders of planes and it's causing the airlines to get fewer aircraft, and they want more because they want to introduce more airplanes, more seats into their schedule, and look, more seats means

cheaper fares. So we want all this stuff to end quickly. And I'm sorry that Boeing striking workers. A thirty percent increase wasn't enough. They wanted forty percent. You know, when they went through this sixteen years ago, Brian Bowing was coming off their best year ever in profits, and the people that were striking wanted a piece of the pie.
