55KRC Tuesday Morning Show -- 4/15/25

We'll see what happens next year, but my taxes will be on their way as soon as I'm done with this show today, we'll go home and make the final few key strokes on the keyboard and send that bad boy off into the abyss, and we'll see what happens. See if I get audited this year. I don't think

I will, but you never know. Got a letter one time from the I R. I went it, went out and opened the mailbox and you see that, see that logo on there, that I R S logo, And that feeling is if you've ever if you've ever opened your mailbox and seen a letter from the I R S, you know what that feeling is. It's it's the wave of dread that comes over you at that very moment. Is I'm not gonna say it's life changing, but it it is. It is a feeling you don't forget. Hard

to describe. And I went in and I put it on the table and I stared at it for a second. I'm thinking, what on earth could this be? And my wife walked in and she looked at it, and she and then we looked at each other for a little bit. You know which one of us is going to open it? She was. She was the braver of the two of us, and she's the one that that opened it up. It wasn't an audit. It was some some technicality, I don't know some it was some minor thing. But they don't

tell you that on the outside of the envelope. You have to look in there and see what it is that that is it is. It is, without a doubt, one of the most unmistakable and most unpleasant feelings you can possibly have. If you get a letter from the I R. S in your mailbox, and I pray that that does not happen to anyone listening to this station this morning. And if it has, maybe you can tell me your experience. Uh five one three seven fifty five hundred,

Dan Carolyn for b Thomas. I was in yesterday. I get to do today and then tomorrow and Thursday, so I am looking forward to that. Kevin Gordon, I believe, is going to be here on Friday, so that'll be big. Later on a little bit later on this morning in the seven o'clock hour, going to talk to James Bogan and he's a guy that he's a legal analyst, local attorney, and we're talking about some issues that he is and mostly the Title nine stuff with President Trump and these

different states and universities and what is going. It's getting a little confusing.

number of men playing sports. Let's say you had two hundred. Just for the sake of argument, let's say you had two hundred men who were involved in your sports programs at a particular university. Then if you had that many men, then you had to have I don't know, a corresponding number of women who were participating in sports. Let's say

let's say that number is one hundred and fifty. Well, you could offer programs for women's sports, and there would be in excess of two hundred positions, right, volleyball, rowing, field, hockey, gymnastics, swimming, track and field, all these different sports, tennis, golf, all these different sports, volleyball, It goes on and on and on, and you could offer all these positions for women to

play sports. But Title nine, the way it was constructed, was that even if you offered those positions and for whatever reason, you couldn't get enough women to fulfill those positions, well, then you had to reduce the number of men who were involved in sports. And over the years, how many men's programs suffered because of that and disappear. How many colleges over the years lost men's golf programs men's swimming programs, men's wrestling programs, and it goes on and on and on.

So Title nine did some good things for women. I don't think there's any question about that. But you've got, you know, an entire society now, an entire class of people who looked at Title nine and are willing to throw all that away, everything good that Title nine did on you know, all on the alter of wokeness or political correctness or a dehi transgenderism, all that kind of stuff, just saying that I would throw it all the way.

So now we have a course of the specter of men, grown men who want to pretend to be women and want to play in women's sports. The Trump administration has said no to that, and there are still a few places that want to openly defy Trump. And this is a subject that James Bogan and I have talked about many different times, and he'll be here to give us an update on all of that. Cheryl Tumley will be

here from the Washington Times. She is the online opinion editor and just has great insight into all things that are happening political and otherwise. And then Steve Gorham is going to be here. He of the Climate Science Institute, and Steve Gorham is just fantastic on issues of environmentalism and all the rest of it. So totally entertaining. Always love having that guy on, and so that's going to

be in the eight o'clock hours. So until then, it's just me and you and all kinds of different things. You know. Here we are now in the the wake, Sean McMahon, were you able to observe the historic space flight yesterday? I did not catch that six women in the Blue Origin. Come on, what's wrong with you? We we live in historic times. Six women were able to board a spaceship rocket to outer space and return to

Earth in the span of eleven minutes. A historic, a historic all women mission, and somehow you and I are better off for it. This morning we have audio from inside the space capsule. The the the amount of that CBS was exhibiting yesterday was really off the charts, and I've got some some audio of that that we will

roll a little bit later on. And look, I am not I am not looking askance at the danger that is associated with climbing on border rocket, rocketing up to the edge or the I guess actually into outer space. I don't know the technicality of it, but anytime you do that, there is an inherent danger that goes along with it. I am not belittling that or looking askance

at that in any way, shape or form. What I am questioning, though, is this notion that somehow this was a historically significant moment of six women Katy Perry, Gail King. I guess one of these women is the fiance of Jeff Bezos. I don't know who the other ones are, that somehow there's something significant and historic and memorable that these six women were on board that spacecraft for a total of eleven minutes. It takes most of us longer to drive to work than it did for this space

flight to go up and come back down. I've sat in fast food drive through lines that take longer than eleven minutes. I'm sure most of you can relate something that takes longer than eleven minutes to do in your life almost every single day. But somehow there are those who are going to be telling us that this space flight yesterday with these women who went up in the

Jeff Bezos rocket was a significant and important event. I will wait to see how that manifests itself, and we'll have some more thoughts on that as the show goes along. Today it is five sixteen. We've got to get to a little break here, and I want to thank you for tuning in and listening the great Brian Thomas audience as we roll on till nine o'clock this morning on fifty five krc the talk station.

five deadline for twenty twenty four tax returns. This says May first, Okay, yeah, it's automatic, So it goes to this is April fifteenth, then if you have until May first in nine states that were affected by FEMA disaster declarations from twenty twenty four, so this includes taxpayers from the entire state of Alabama, all of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The extended deadline remains. The extended deadline for the remaining four states applied only two specific areas,

including the city and borough of Juneo in Alaska. The other affected areas are Chavez County, New Mexico, several counties in Tennessee and Virginia. The states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina. Several counties in Tennessee and Virginia had their tax deadlines extended to May first due to

devastation calls by Hurricane Helene. According to the IRS. In October of twenty four, it was announced that individuals and businesses in the Juno area of Alaska would have until May first to file their taxes because of flooding that began in August of twenty four. In addition to the nited states who had automatic deadline extensions, other states have

later deadlines for individuals and businesses their taxpayers. In Los Angeles County, California, deadline has been extended to October fifteenth because of the wildfires. The fires were contained after more than three weeks, causing twenty nine deaths and destroying tens

of thousands of acres. I gotta look at an update on I haven't looked at an update on that in a while, but I did want a couple of weeks ago and a couple as of a couple of weeks ago, they were talking about the I found a story that was looking at the permits that had been issued in California so people could rebuild their homes, and as of a couple of weeks ago, there had been a total of four permits issued, four for people who are looking

to rebuild four. I mean the bureaucracy and the run around and the red tape in Los Angeles is just astonishing. I saw a video there was the mayor of Los Angeles did this video talking about how if you want to come in and get a permit and do all the paperwork required to rebuild your home after it was destroyed by the wildfires, you can come to the Wonderful Day. They set up a one stop government shop. You can go in there and bring your paperwork or bring whatever

you have, and you can visit. I think she said, there's fifteen different government agencies all in this one location you give. We have fifteen different government agencies, and you can walk around and get your approvals from all these different agencies. Can you imagine that? Maybee like going to the convention center downtown and you want to get a permit to one clean up your property and two start

to rebuild. Come on down one stop shopping. Very convenient and in here you will find people working very hard from fifteen different And this was just for the city of Los Angeles. Never mind the county or the state stuff. We've got fifteen different government agencies. Get all your approvals in one spot. Isn't that great? Can you imagine that? What kind of day would that be? Trapes in around?

Oh no, you were supposed to go to that agency first, come back later, Go see those folks over there first, then come back to me, on and on and on, fifteen different government agencies. Some taxpayers in Kentucky have had their deadlines extended to November three because of the severe storms that rolled through in February. This is according to the IRS, So check your location if you think you might be affected by that. Wise get those taxes in today five twenty five at fifty five KRC, the talk

station fifty five KRC. When your sump pump is no longer. Summer fifty five KRCD talk station Dan Carroll hanging out for Brian Thomas. The video has come out of the shooting on Short Vine from over the weekend. Fox nineteen put it like this. New video shows the moments a twenty five year old father of two was shot and killed over the weekend in Coryville. Kyle Merrick, twenty five, shot at East University Avenue Avenue and Short Vine around

ten pm April twelve, according to Cincinnati Police. Video shows Merrick standing outside a liquor store, and you look at the video, he's standing there looking at his cell phone, apparently minding his own business. The video, two mass people are seen near Merrick. One of the mass people walks up to him, pulls a gun, pulls out a gun

and sticks it right in his midsection. That gunman is fifteen years old, and information started coming out yesterday that this fifteen year old has been in the Hamilton County Juvenile court system on what could be as many as twenty one felonies. Twenty one felonies, and yet this kid was out on the street and able to get his hands on a gun. The video I've seen it a few times and you've probably seen it as well. Walks up to the victim, sticks a gun in his midsection.

Merrick starts running away down the street. It turned out he also was armed. The fifteen year old runs after him, gun in hand. Mirrick pulls his own weapon, turns and shoots. Apparently misses or I don't know if he missed or not. I think he may have hit the kid, but the fifteen year old shot back and Mirrick was fatally wounded.

His family wants the fifteen year old to be charged as an adult, but we may be looking at and I was texting with Ken Kober yesterday afternoon about this information that was coming out and trying to check on the on how valid this information is. Peers that it may very well be valid that this kid, fifteen years old, has had all these contacts with the juvenile system here in Hamilton County, but yet is able to be out

on the streets. And so we'll see what develops on this today and Ken Kober is going to be here either Thursday or Friday, and we'll get the very latest on that. The family of Merrick is hoping the fifteen year old will be tried as an adult. This kid is fifteen years old, said Kyle Merrick's dad. Bryant needs to be charged as an adult. He was sitting outside the liquor store as an adult. He had a gun as an adult. He should be charged as an adult

and we will see what happens. As you know, there's here in Hamilton County, there's not not a lot of reasons to have faith in our juvenile court judges that they will take this seriously or they will do anything to step up and do what needs to be done to protect the community. In any way, here's another teenager who yesterday admitted to the shooting that took place. This was near again, another one near the campus of the

University of Cincinnati last March. Justin Dugan seventeen years old when he shot and killed twenty one year old Benjamin Addison. Dugan took a plea deal would that would send him the prison for twenty one years, and we miss him every second of every day, said Benjamin Addison's father. Benjamin was our world. Our son will never come back, said his mother. After our of deliberation, prosecutors and defense reaching

in a plea agreement twenty one years in prison. Before Dugan was escorted out of the courtroom, he addressed the UC students' parents for the first time. I'll never be able to take back what I did, Dugan said, truly, I'm sorry, especially to the good people over there. Even if he had gotten what he wanted, as far as judgment goes in the courts, it won't stop the nightmare because he's not here, said said the family of the victim. Benjamin Addison would have been in his final weeks of

classes at U see. Instead his parents are Morning and Future where that will not happen. He'd be graduating from UC, maybe a couple of years, getting married, Joseph Addison said, then maybe three or four years from now, having some babies, and just hor horrible for that family. So this seventeen

year old goes away for twenty one years. So two instances right there of innocent victims being taken away at the hands of juveniles, and you know, the juvenile court system, the juvenile court judges here in Hamilton County act as if there's little or nothing they can do about it.

crash involving a semi Monday in Turtle Creek Township. David will sixty nine, Franklin, Ohio died at the scene and the wreck on State Route seven forty one, according to the State Highway Patrol and the troopers say that the twenty eighteen Kenworth was going north on seven forty one when the driver went off the road, over correcting and then into the path of Willis and his two thousand and Ford two thousand and one Ford f one fifty. The driver of the semi taken to the hospital is

expected to be okay. In Brown County youth football program facing an uncertain future. It's president former president accused of stealing thousands of dollars from it. How many times do we see stories like this? You've got a youth sports league, whether it's football or softball, or any you named the sport.

How many times do we see this where you have individuals who are in charge of handling the money for these youth football or youth sports leagues and they wind up stealing the money and are embezzling the money or doing things with it they shouldn't be doing. It's a nonprofit organization. We just sit We just kind of set it up because we didn't have a program for our school out there, said Jesse Parker, Southern Ohio Warriors football president.

The organization used to be known as a Southern Buckeye Youth Football Program, gives kids as young as kindergarten up through high school a chance to put on a helmet and take to the field. He was going to take care of the paperwork side. I was going to take care of the boots on the ground, like the labor and the work, said Parker. They set up a bank account I Rube was supposed to get him a debit card.

Months went by, Partner said that never happened. Ended up going to the bank to get access to the account. There was supposed to be eleven five hundred dollars in there somewhere and he got there there was only eleven hundred. So guy apparently at least is accused of stealing about ten grand ten thousand dollars and and you screw these kids over in the process. That is a you know,

of course, if you know, innocent until found guilty. But if all this is true, I mean that really that's that's a that's a certain level of depravity, isn't not. You got a youth sports program. Money is supposed to help the kids, and really it's not that much money, and you can face I would imagine you can face

some very serious consequence for that. But even with a little bit of money that you have access to, and you wind up using it for your own purposes and a lot of families and kids get screwed over in the process. That's terrible. Hamilton County Church, been around for two hundred and twenty two years, is going to have its last day of service in May. Located at the corner of Wayne and Gain Street in Elizabethtown of the Elizabethtown United Methodist Church, faint red brick building with a

concrete walkway. Church has been around since eighteen oh three remains the cornerstone of the community. We are deeply grateful for the two and twenty two years of ministry and the service to church has provided, said Pastor Glenn Lash of the Elizabethtown United Methodist Church. It's with heavy hearts that we make this decision. We know the spirit of the church will live on in the lives of the thoseho been part of it. Final services everyone's invited well Sunday,

May eighteenth, and that's the end of that church. So God blessed them, and good luck to them, and good luck to that community. The Elizabethtown the United Methodist Church. Two and twenty two years, that's a pretty good run. Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas on fifty five KRS DE Talk.

week off as well. Great piece. Andrea Whidberg is just a terrific writer over an American thinker, and she's been taking a look at what's happening with Harvard and the taxpayer money that is being withheld from Harvard, and Andrea writes, at last count Harvard's endowment was a little above fifty three billion dollars. The Harvard endowment fifty three billion dollars. Looking at the GDP of the world's countries, that means

Harvard is richer than almost one hundred nations around the world. Nevertheless, last year, Harvard received six hundred eighty six million dollars from American taxpayers. Six hundred eighty six million dollars to Harvard from you and me and Sean McMahon, Shawn McMann. You pay taxes, don't you? I do. He've been so Sean McMahon got his share of taxes in there went to Harvard. That's not even counting the benefits flowing in

the heart from federally guaranteed student loans. In return for that money, all Donald Trump is asking from Harvard is that Harvard abide by the Civil Rights Act in terms of its Jewish students who have been on the receiving end of vile and violent campus wide discrimination, and allow the federal government to make sure that Harvard is properly accounting for that over half billion dollars in taxpayer money

that it receives every year. So the Trump you know, the Donald Trumpster, is saying, look, Harvard, do you want to keep getting this six hundred and eighty six million, watch out for the Jewish students and give us a little accounting. Tell us what you're doing with all that money. To that, Harvard is saying, kna babina, insisting that it has the right to unfettered use of tax payer money.

Harvard's response to the Trump administration and the administration's demands is that it stop violating the law, and that came via a letter from its lawyers. The letter doesn't explicitly address the audit. Instead, it focuses entirely on the contention that Harvard is violating Jewish students civil rights, and the first part of the letter, Harvard insists that it has done everything possible and necessary to protect Jewish students and claims that the campus is way better for Jews than

it was a year ago. Widburg says she cannot address that claim because she hasn't followed closely what's been going on at Harvard for the past year. But what she can address is the really stunning argument that Harvard makes about federal moneys. It receives that those of us lowly taxpayers tend to believe that free speech is an inherent

right and that the government cannot take it from us. However, we also believe that the government doesn't have to fund our speech instead, or indeed, that we believe that once we start taking money from someone, an employer, a government relative, then that person or entity begins to have us say in how we use the money, including what we say while we are on that person's dime. If we want unfettered speech, then we need to say no to the money.

But again that's not Harvard's view. Instead, the Harvard view is that the American taxpayer must fund Harvard's First Amendment rights, and that withdrawing the funding is tantamount to censorship. It is unfortunate, then, that your letter disregards Harvard's efforts and instead presents demands that, in contravention of the First Amendment, invade university freedom long recognized by the Supreme Court. So, Harvard, if you look at this, they want to have their

cake and eat it too. They want to take they want to take all this government money and not have to account for any of it. And now they're hiding behind the First Amendment. And we've seen story after story about how Jewish students on these campuses feel threatened, can't go to class, are blocked at every turn. And Harvard is putting all this under the First Amendment, saying you don't have any right to stop sending us taxpayer dollars, and all the while they've got fifty three billion in

the tank or in the bank. I should say, I don't think so, and I don't think Harvard's going to win this one. So we'll see what happens. Think about that, they've got fifty three billion, and they want even more from all of us, to taxpayers, as if they're entitled to it. Five point fifty five Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty five kr S he talks station fifty five KRC, the talk station six h five on this Tuesday morning. I'm Dan Carroll and for Brian Thomas, got to get

those taxes in Today. Today is it. Today is the deadline unless you've lived in one of the places where the IRS has extended the deadlines, if you've been hit by a natural disaster or something like that. But for most of us, today is the day. Well, it's a very historic. Guess, yesterday was a very historic day. I missed it. I didn't Sean McMahon, did you get to see any of this this Blue Origin rocket? Didn't watch a second? Think you didn't see one second of it?

I mean it only lasted eleven eleven mites. And again, I am not belittling the dangerous of spaceflight in any way, shape or form. Is it is a very dangerous undertaking. But we had the six women on the Blue Origin. You got Lauren Sanchez. Let's see who are let me see if I can Okay, we got okay, Katy Perry, she's a pop star, she's a singer. Then got Gail King, who is Oprah's buddy, who's a morning show host on CBS.

Then you got Aisha bo who was apparently a NASA rocket scientist, Amanda Wynn who was a civil rights active, Carrie Anne Flynn who is a film producer, and then Lauren Sanchez, who is apparently a journalist. I guess Sanchez is the fiance of Jeff Bezos. And so she got the six women together and up into space they went, and CBS News was making a big you know, with Gail King going along for the ride. CBS News was making a big deal about this. Oprah was out there.

You know, she's best buddy for the Oprah and the virtue signaling and the wokeness and the political correctness was just off the charts. They were doing an interview with the doctor ma je Emison, who was the first black

woman in space. And I've got a little cut of this, this interview they were doing, and the one of the co hosts of the CBS Morning News is of lad do others and even he wants, you know, trying to be as woke as possible, but you know, in close proximity to doctor Maye Jamison wound up stepping in it. And here's what that sounded like. And Sean McMahon, if we could please let's hear cut number four.

And that includes Mae Jemison and all the women who wrote up on the Blue Origin or Blood the Yeah, the Blue Origin rocket no longer supports our life form. I'm not sure she's right about that, all right, keep.

eleven minutes. I don't know, but apparently there were some science experiment and we've got some some audio from inside the capsule, and you can judge for yourself. But let's finish this interview. Go ahead. Shohn's six women. Well, that's what I mean. That women's right, right, right, right.

and seventy one hours. That was the first woman into space. Look, these women went up, and God bless them, it was a dangerous thing. There's all kinds of things that can whenever you do anything like this, there's all kinds of things that can go wrong. But spare me this notion that this was historic and somehow these six women floating around the capsule for about a minute or so is going to span my horizons or expand my perspective or

my understanding of space or space travel. And somehow this is going to accrue to the larger benefit of us as and for God's sake, we can no longer say mankind, but humankind isn't mankind and all encompassing term that refers to everyone on this planet. Not good enough, Not good enough for the ultra woke astronaut, Doctor maeje Emison going to continue to correct a little slight correction there for the host of MSNBC. So here's the little audio of

the women. And this is this audio. This video actually starts from the moment that they get into witlessness. They unstrap from their seats and they're starting to float around the capsule, and you'll hear the conversation. I really wasn't able to pick up on the part where the science experiments were being carried out, But you listen for yourself, and you tell me and Sean, let's hear cut number five. Please got it?

holding that up for the camera to see. Katy Perry had a little flower in her hand and then uh, like a little cardboard butterfly that she was able to, you know, make weightless for a few moments. So there you go. Today we are all better off because of what those women did in space. And if you weren't able to see it yesterday, well I'm glad I was able to provide that coverage for you here on fifty five krc DE Talk Station fifty.

first parachute jump with a local aba club. Her enthusiasm for skydiving brought her to the attention of the Soviet space program, which sought to put a woman in space in the early nineteen sixties. So, you know, there's so many people here in the United States who want to pat themselves on the back for being forward thinking and inclusive and all that. But here's the Soviets in the nineteen sixties had the idea to put women in space.

They wanted to do this mainly because you know, the early nineteen sixties, that's when the space race was on and the Soviets were kicking our butts and they wanted to achieve another first before the United States, and so they wanted to put a woman up there. Tereshkova, who was an accomplished parachutist, was well equipped to handle one

of the most challenging procedures of a Vostok spaceflight. I guess they really hadn't figured out how to return their space capsules to Earth, and I guess with Russia having so little access to the open oceans, they have and I think they still do today. They land their spaceships on the ground, just like this one did yesterday. But one of the most challenging procedures of the Vostok spaceflight is a mandatory ejection from the capsule at about twenty

thousand feet. So you come in for re entry, you're plummeting into the atmosphere. You get to about twenty thousand feet and you have to jump out. That's how you do it. That's how you do it in the Russia. That's a Svitia union twenty thousand feet. You open the capsule and you jump out, pulled the pool the court of the pedisutes. So that's what this gal had to do. So in nineteen sixty three, Terraskova was chosen to take part in the second dual flight in the Vostok program,

so it involved two spacecraft. The Vostok five launched on June fourteenth, nineteen sixty three, and Valerie Baikovski was the astronaut on board that one. So he went up, he's orbiting the Earth and Terraskova launches two days later. The two spacecraft had different orbits, but at one point came within three miles of each other, and so that allowed for a brief exchange of communications. Terraskova spacecraft was guided

by automatic controls. She never took manual control. Just after three days in space again seventy one orbits, three days in space, she re entered the atmosphere and then parachuted to Earth, jumping out at twenty thousand feet. That was a his historic space flight. For that, Teryskober received the

Order of Lenin Hero of the Soviet Union award. In November of sixty three, she married a fellow cosmonaut, reportedly under pressure from the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, who wanted to take full advantage of the propaganda advantages of putting those two together. The couple made goodwill trips abroad, had a daughter. Separated in nineteen sixty six, Terashova became a member of the Supreme Soviet National Parliament, served as a

Soviet representative to numerous international women's organizations. Never entered space again, and hers was the last space flight by a female cosmonaut until the nineteen eighties. So you talk about someone who was way ahead of the curve, way ahead of her time, Valentina Terroskober someon. I don't know if there's I'm gonna have to look and see if there's a documentary or a movie about about this woman. I think I think that would be a most interesting movie. Forty

eight orbits seventy one hours. And I did not know that until just today that when upon returning to Earth, you had to eject from the capsule, the Vostok capsule and parachute twenty thousand feet. Imagine that. How about that, Sean McMahon, anything sound dangerous about that? Sounds perfectly fine to me, perfectly fine. Five one three seven four nine, seven thousand and one eight. I'll give them the wrong number. Five one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred if

you want to get on board. Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, fifty five KRCV.

those women going up in space. I'm glad they did it. I think this is a bigger achievement. A female soldier becomes the first woman to compete in the Army Ranger contest from the Associated Press. Female Army Ranger for the first time competed in the annual Best Ranger competition and her two soldier team team finished the grueling three day

event over the weekend came in fourteenth overall. First Lieutenant Gabrielle White and her teammate, Captain Seth del Entree were among sixteen teams that made it through the final events. Ranger teams compete for accolades as the best of the elite military force. Altogether, fifty two teams competed. All the

others were made up of only male soldiers. The two rangers on the winning team were both members of the seventy fifth Ranger Regiment, White and del Entree were based at the are based at the Army Center of Excellence in Fort Benning, Georgia. Female soldiers were not allowed to be Army Rangers until twenty fifteen, when the Army opened Ranger School to women. In August of twenty fifteen, two female soldiers completed Armed Ranger course for the first time.

Later that year, the Defense Department opened combat jobs to all women. Petexseth may have some different views on this. According to the competition, soldiers must move more than sixty miles during the three days with little rest. It includes a helicopter mission, physical fitness test, land navigation, weapons qualification,

obstacle course, and other tests. While in previous years the Army would likely have noticed the historic first in a story or a press release, that didn't happen this time. Under the President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary of Pete Hegseth, the Department has banned anything that touts diversity, equity and inclusion. Well, you know this doesn't have to go down that line.

You've got a woman who competed in this contest and met all the qualifications, all the parameters that any mail had to meet and was able to complete the test. I finished out the out of side of fifteen groups that finished it. She was her and her partner were fourteenth. I think that's pretty good. I think that stands on its own. You know that there was no special favors given. You want to come and compete, come and compete, but you know they don't ask for special favors along the way.

And apparently that did not happen here. And I would imagine under Pete Hegseth that nothing like that would ever happen. So I think that's pretty good. So I say congratulations to Captain Seth Delentree and First Lieutenant Gabrielle White. Joe's in Fairfield and Joe, you're on fifty five krs C. Good morning. How are you Dan? I'm fantastic. Her are you, sir? I'm good. What's up? Well?

you there you go. Joe's having a little fun with that as well. He should. That's good stuff. Six thirty five Dan Carroll in for Brian Thomas. Fifty five KRC the talk station.

Brian Thomas. Doge is continuing to do great work. Now, if you have a grievance with the federal government and how the government is spending your tax money, if you have a complaint about wasteful practices or bureaucracy, you can now go to the Department of Government Efficiency, which has an Internet portal where you can take your complaint directly to them. The Department of Government Efficiency launched a website where Americans can directly report and suggest how to deregulate

policies within the federal government. Your voice in federal decision making. Reads the website regulations dot gov. Impacted by an existing rule of regulation, share your ideas for deregulation by completing this form. That's a great idea. They are certainly according to red State, they're opening the floodgates to all this. But now we don't have to wait around to let the government know how we feel about the money that

DOGE worked with the Government Services Administration, independent agency task with helping support the function of other federal agencies, and the Office of Management and Budget, which is the federal office frequently charged with overseeing deregulation efforts. Doges combining the administration goals of adding transparency and slashing waste, fraud, and abuse by offering the American people the unique opportunity to recommend more deregulatory actions.

The Doge led effort highlights Trump's priority to put the first of the people first, and government bureaucrats last, said White House spokesperson or a spokeswoman, Taylor Rogers. That's pretty cool though. So if you have a complaint about the government, maybe you work for the government. I mean, anyone can do this you can go to the government portal. I have not tried this yet, so if you want to

try it, it's called regulations dot gov. Let's see. I mean, there's a link on this story here deregulation or regulations dot gov. Then it's got deregulation suggestions and if you have an idea for cutting existing rules of regulations, we want to hear from you. And they've got some boxes you fill out here and just scroll down the form and away you go. So you can now go directly to the government thanks to Doge to deregulate stuff. And Doge and the Dog's website continues to rock and roll.

They continue to put stuff out that I like, stuff that they are cutting. Here's what Doge wrote last night. Agencies terminated one hundred and eighty wasteful contracts with a ceiling value of three point three billion dollars and savings of two point six billion, including I love this one eighty five and a half thousand dollars. This was an EPA contract for live plant maintenance services. Live plant maintenance services. What do you think that means? Live plant maintenance services.

That's a contract that costs the EPA eighty five thousand dollars. Now, it's been a while since I've been in an EPA building. The last one I was in, I don't remember a lot of flowers. I don't remember a lot of plants being there. They might have been fake that I saw. I guess I haven't. I don't think we have, Sean McMann do. We don't have any plants around here, do we?

But at the EPA, I guess they have plants. And the contract to water those plants costs eighty five grand. Well Doge looked at that and said, nah, bah bah nah. And now the EPA team, the internal EPA team, will handle the watering of the plants while saving US eighty five thousand dollars. Anyone opposed to that. Anyone think that's

not a good thing. Here's another two hundred and sixty five thousand dollars Health and Human Services contract for social media monitoring, subscription, training and platforms set up so for Health and Human Services to monitor social media and you you buy a subscription for that for whatever reason, cost two hundred and sixty five thousand dollars a year. Maybe there's someone who's better versed in the Internet than I am.

I believe there are some companies that, for very good reasons, monitor social media to see what's being said about them, see if there's anything they need to get ahead of, see if you know they're they're you know, on top of the latest trends, or whatever the case may be. I'm sure there's plenty of companies that find that sort of service invaluable, and maybe you do it in house.

I don't know. But to spend two hundred and sixty five thousand dollars on it for that contract, maybe it's just me that seems a little excessive, and I'm glad they took it out. Six forty six Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, I'm fifty five KRCD talk station.

he was avoiding the flood there. Bill Maher has been the last couple of days he's been out talking about and he made a lengthy video talking about the dinner that he had with Donald Trump. And look, I am not a Bill Maher devote I am not a Bill Maher fan. I think I don't watch his show on What is It on HBO. I see some clips of the stuff he does once in a while. I think the I think there are times when he can be spot on. I think there are times when he can

be brutally honest. I think he has done the Democrat Party a huge favor by calling a spade a spade and calling out in a manner that everyone can understand the difficulties Democrat Party is having. And so over the weekend, he got invited to the White House with Kid Rock to have dinner with Donald Trump. And at first he was kind of blown away about it, not sure if he wanted to do it, but then thought better of it and said, you know what, this could wind up

being a good thing. And so he has come back now after his dinner and he's talking about his experience with Donald Trump and being honest about it, and he he said essentially that his mind was blown that he came to the realization that Trump is much more self aware and personable than he ever imagined. He said, everything I never liked about him was I swear to God absent,

mar said. And so he talked about and you know, he went there with Kid Rock, and I think Dana White was there and a couple of others, and he tells us to go look at the video. The video was actually pretty compelling of Bill Maher telling the story about his dinner with Trump. But now there are certain journalists out there who are looking at this and they're firing at Bill Maher talking about how he's been caught

up in the in the Trump propaganda. They are suggesting now that he is nothing more than a useful idiot for Trump, part of a publicity stunt. And Bill Maher, to his credit, is defending himself and and he's telling, you know, these people that they are wrong, you know. And it is beyond me why some people just cannot abuid that people of different political outlooks can get together and then have and have an honest conversation there. I mean, there are plenty of things of Bill Maher if you

listen to what he said. There are plenty of things that he brought up the Trump that that were in a disagreement with the Trump policy. And he talks about Trump Trump's reaction to that, and you know how honest and genuine he thought Trump was. But you know, the notion that you can't have people at different outlooks break bread together and then have an honest conversation about it, who's the one who's being short sighted? There?

This report is sponsored by Generate fifty five KRS the talk station Good Tuesday Morning, Dan Carroll in for Brian Thomas. I get to be here Wednesday and Thursday as well. Sean McMahon running the big board in the fifty five KRC command center. So when you call in, make sure you say hay him. Five one, three nine fifty five

hundred is the number to call. Attorney James Bogan joins us at the bottom of the hour, and we've got some subjects. We'll be kicking around with him. Big deal at the White House yesterday, and I must say the the way Trump is running things at the White House is thoroughly entertaining to me. It is anyway, you know, I like all this political stuff, like the I like to set up. I like the fact that when he meets with these different world leaders, it's not just a

little bit of a photo op. And then, you know, like Biden did you the reporters would throw questions at him and he would just stand there with that just sit there with that look on his face and really just proving what what a jerk he really is. Trump is. You know, he's got the reporters in there, they're all over the place. They're loud, they're yelling, they're boisterous. Yeah, he's got cabinet members there too. And yesterday he was with the President of Al Salvador Naive Bukayley, b u

k e l e Bukayley. I guess that is how you say his name. I apologize for f Iro'm mispronouncing it. But he was there, and he declined to ask the l Salvadoran president to return this dude that got mistakenly deported to El Salvador. Trump didn't want to bother the the President of Al Salvador with it, but some of the reporters did. And so when the President of Al Salvador was asked about that, I believe it was Caitlyn Collins from CNN who asked the who asked the question.

The President of Al Salvador just gave it right back to her. And Sean mcmanon, let's hear cut number one please.

terrorist into the United States. But this wasn't good enough for Caitlin Collins, the CNN reporter who was there, who loves to give Trump and his cabinet at our time whenever she gets the chance. And so there's a you're you're going to hear in this next SoundBite, you're going

to hear a couple of different people. You're going to hear Marco Rubio, and then you're going to hear Steven Miller, and they are laying out for this reporter and all the reporters in the room, exactly how foreign policy is supposed to work. And this is the kind of give and take that we never saw from the Biden administration. We never saw it from the Obama administration. I don't think we I really don't think we ever saw it

during the any of the Bush administrations. This is the kind, to my way of thinking, this is the way things ought to be. It's the United States of America, for God's sake. Let the reporters in there. When when you had Joe Biden in office, all he could do was it on that fake set. It kind of looked loud on that time. Remember the tiny little desk. He would

sit over there and there'd be monitors all around. I guess they put that together because of the Wuhan, And they still I saw I don't know what it was. It was say it with some cabinet members and they were doing some sort of event, and I think they were on that that set that Biden would use. There's no way I can I cannot imagine that Trump will ever go on there or set foot on that. He's

going to do his stuff from the Oval office. But here's here's the the way this this went down when they were And this is what I love about Trump. He's got his cabinet members there. He says, you guys handle this question. He let says, he lets his people talk in their area of expertise. And I thought this was great. And with that, Sean McMann, let's hear cut number two.

Rubio was really good on this. I understand.

been deported and kicked out of the country. How many more are there, We'll trust me. If there were more, and they could find more. It'd be all over the news. They would love nothing more than to suggest and they still there is still plenty of leftist commentators out there who are suggesting that Trump is going to go after

American citizens that he doesn't like. And if you're a citizen of America and you say something that Trump doesn't like, you do something that he doesn't like, then he's going to deport you out of the country. They're still trying to go after that. No, they are going after the dangerous criminals, like Steven Miller said, people who want to rape, people who want to murder, people who want to to steal, bring in drugs, human trafficking, sex trafficking, all the rest

of it. Those are the kind of people that we want out. But yet there are certain courts in this country and certain journalists in this country who want these kind of people in the country. And so that you know that that is why when Trump look normally, when a foreign visitor comes to the White House in the Oval Office, they sit there in those yellow chairs. I guess you know there's fireplace in the background. They take

a picture of them and shaking hands. They as far as Biden was concerned, they would recite a couple of prepared remarks. Obama certainly did that as well. There's nothing genuine there, nothing that is really newsworthy. But look at what Trump. What Trump is doing, He's having He's having a legitimate exchange, a real life back and forth. You've got these reporters trying to throw Trump and his people off their game, and they're and they're saying, bring it,

we are ready for you. You tell me. Are they trying to cover something up, they trying to act, you know, are they acting as if they're doing something that they shouldn't be doing. I don't think so. So this is why when whenever you've got an event like this in the White House, to my way of thinking, I'm going to watch it. I'm going to look at it as much as I can, And at least when I'm doing a show like this, I get to bring it to your attention to So that's a double bonus. Seven sixteen

to sink President Donald Trump's first term. In retrospect, the party's leaders have often gone soft on Russia when it wanted to reap financial or political benefits for themselves or allies from the Obama era Russian reset, the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton so Kolkovo investment project to honor Biden's business in Moscow, and Joe Biden's waiving the sanctions against the Russian pipeline. Key Democrat figures reaped political and financial

benefits from going soft on Moscow. Newly declassified documents produced by the FBI and Department of Justice Crossfire Hurricane investigation into allegations that then candidate Trump or members of his campaign coordinated with Russia to influence the twenty sixteen election wholly discredit the probe. For example, one key informant's account was deemed unreliable and official disputed. A key media narrative and some key source, Christopher Steele, leaked his infamous dossier

to the media. Last week, FBI Director Cash Mattel transmitted to Congress hundreds of pages declassified documents from that investigation, following a declassification executive order from President Trump. Just The News made all seven hundred pages from the declassified binder available to the public. Despite several years with a focus on the allegations from the Democrats in Congress and investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller did not establish any criminal

Trump Russian collusion. Special Council John Durham appointed to review the probe and ultimately ultimately concluded that neither US law enforcement nor the intelligence community community appears to have possessed

any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings. At the commencement of Crossfire Hurricane investigation, after Russia's two invasions of Ukraine, first in twenty fourteen then again in twenty twenty two, senior Democrat leaders routinely or roundly called out Russia and as President Vladimir Putin's aggressive behavior primarily targeted at the

country smaller neighbor Ukraine. But in years before the Moscow invasion, or before Moscow's invasion, Democrats enriched themselves politically and personally from Russia oligarchs, oligarchs. I thought Democrats were against oligarchs, maybe just oligarchs in America, but the Russian ones, those are fine, man. They enriched themselves politically and personally from Russian oligarchs and businesses in the region while empowering Putin

with energy and technology deals. So, I mean, this piece goes on and on and on, and it kind of outlines a lot of the ways different deals that were in place for the pipeline of money to flow back to the Democrats. Hunter Biden has talked about in here.

Hunter Biden and his partner's pursuit of Russia riches began as early as twenty ten, when the Reset was entering the full swing with payments from a Moscow based machinery firm and it's patriarch, and they antestified a few years later at a time when Joe Biden's son was actually still serving in the US Navy. How about that, So this was going on with Russia while Hunter was still

in the Navy. But yeah, it made this goes on all these documents and talking about how the Democrats were cashing in, so all this stuff and again that old saying holds true. All this stuff that they accused Trump of doing, it turns out that they were doing themselves. Jim, what's up this morning? How you doing?

And we need to have standards. We need to have you know, these these tests in these bars that need to be passed and accomplished before someone can move on in the military. And you know, excuse making doesn't do anyone any favors. When you're on the battlefield and you need to know that your partner in combat has your.

that was Jim and he's right on the money. We got to get to a break and then we'll be talking with James Bogan on the other side as we roll on here on the fifty five krc Morning Show, fifty five KRCV Talks, They fifty five the Talk Station, A Minute of Hope, fifty five krc DE Talk Station. Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas. So glad to be here and always glad to welcome in my my next guest, local attorney and legal analyst and James Bogan. Great to have you back on the show. How are you today?

gonna dissect it. We're gonna do a segment on the radio and and talk about that and talk about what's in it, what's not what's not in it? Uh, how those you know, we're going to break those things down. And then of course, you know the release was delayed, that it never happened, And here we are, and this feels like it was a couple of months ago, and I've not seen hide her hair of the Epstein files. Have you seen any unication at all that those things will ever see the light of day.

Short Vine a couple of days ago. And the video came out, yes the video was released yesterday of how this happened. And you see this guy standing in front of that liquor store on Short Vine. He's got his nose in his cell phone, he's minding his own business. This kid walks up to him, pulls out a gun and sticks it in his midsection. And information started coming out leaked yesterday that this guy has been in the juvenile system before various judges, I guess in Hamilton County

Juvenile Court with twenty one felonies. And maybe it's just me, but twenty one when you're at the age of fifteen, sounds like a lot. And yet this kid was still It seems to me like this is a kid who should not have been on the street, should not have had any access to a gun. Is this and I mean in a general sense, if you have a kid that has is fifteen years old, has that many felonies, that much contact with the court, how is this kid able to be out on the street.

women's sports. The Secretary of Education is telling these these different universities the NCAA that their policies need to get in line with what the Trump administration is saying about this. You've got main schools who are saying they are not going to not going to change their transgender policies as it relates to sports. What kind of ground do these places have to stand on in order to stand in defiance of what's coming out of the White House. They have absolutely zero ground.

from that to number one among college women. Now men's and women's times performances is about a ten to twelve percent different. Thomas's time only dropped by two point sixty six percent or regressed by two point six six percent from the hormones and splockers and so on. It's and when women girls, when they take steroids, they don't become as good as men. I mean, you saw that we've

talked about this. There's that Yale swimmer who she was one of the top women in the country actually compete against Leah Thomas the next year swam for Yale as a guy and wasn't even competitive.

to compete on a fair and level playing field. You know, these women who have sacrificed mightily, who have given up all sorts of things, and then you know, when it's time for them, you know, for the rubber to hit the road, well, then they have to face another unfair challenge in the form of some dude that's been through puberty and now wants to they have long hair and wear dresses and call themself a woman. Yeah.

Are we going to be subject to more federal rulings and federal court judges trying to direct the Trump administration to do this, that and the other thing.

replacement badge after retiring from the force. And there seems to be some so I don't know if it's a misunderstanding or some sort of complication as to this officer getting a replacement badge, And you know, the way the argument was laid out for me, this just sounds to me like something that doesn't really need to get to the level that this thing is getting to already.

not like anyone can use it. And people I've talked to with CPD say it's not unpreceded for a retired officer to get a replacement retirement badge either now, Baldwin, she lost her badge. She went to police supply to inquire about the process, you know, to get this replacement badge that she earned through thirty years of service. And

it's something they pay out a pocket for too. And she was told she had to make a report and write a letter her and it had to go to the chief, who's the one person who approves and disapproves these for some strange reason now, and the chief said no and doubled down on it when FOP President Ken Kober intervened, and she said, one retirement badge to each officer period. To hell with bad things happening like you're

getting stolen. And the thing is, she retired in good standing, filed the appropriate report when she lost her badge and jumped her all the hoops, and this is what she gets. And Cober he confirmed me the under CPD policy, this is the chief's prerogative. And here's the funny part. Another retired CPD officer, I'm not going to bring his name into this, he started posting about this on Facebook to

support Baldwin. Guess what CPD's public information officer decides to call him and advise him to stop discussing on social media. And this officer, he's the kind of guy who doesn't take highly to bullying. But memo to CPD administrators, there's a little thing called the First Amendment and any first year laws and can tell you government agencies are bound

by it. Hello, And what's funny is apparently when this part blew up, my understanding is this public relations officer may have claimed that she called this retired officer who was speaking up not to try to get them to stop posting that online, but to try to help I don't obviously I'd have more questions about that conversation. But here's the thing. If you want to be an effective leader,

you need to make your officers feel appreciated. You need to make your retirees feel appreciated, instead of having your current officers feel that you see them as disposable and that when they retire they'll be thrown out like yesterday's garbage. Not announce the respect. I mean, is that the kind of leadership message you want to send.

this guy that set fire to Josh Shapiro's house. The governor of Pennsylvania, thirty eight year old Cody Balmer Harrisburg arrested charge with multiple felonies, including attempted homicide terrorism aggravated at Arson Burglary. This was the early morning attack on the governor's residence yesterday morning, about one three in the morning. Security footage obtained by law enforcement shows this guy breaking in to the piano room on the south side, igniting

it with molotov cocktails. Are what they're saying. Molotov cocktails. And trust me, if this guy had any connection to Trump whatsoever, his name and his picture would be all over the news today. Of course, I can't why. I don't know if it is right now. I can't watch the news in here. If we have one. Let me see one, two, three, four, five big TVs in here. Not one of them is connected. So I'm I'm cut off. Sean mcmahonm cut off from the outside world. I love

the technology here totally. I'm on an island all to myself here. All I have. My only connection to the outside world is this microphone and this computer in front of me. But this dude I heard this morning, he's throwing molotov cocktails, a favorite tool of the left, and I really could have wound up killing people, but thank god he didn't. But look at a picture of this dude. I mean he looks like he looks like something out of a str very one of those goth kind of

horror movies. And this guy just has a very unusual appearance and an appearance you won't soon forget. Coming up after the news here here at the top of the hour, we will be joined by one really one of the great guests I have on my show, Cheryl Chumley, who is the online opinion editor at the Washington Times. And she's an author and a speaker, and Christian and a mother and just a great guest. And we will kick around a whole bunch of different stuff with her, so

I certainly hope you can stick around for that. It's Dan Carroll in for Brian Thomas on fifty five KRC, the talk station covering Trump's first one hundred days day, every day.

the online opinion editor and a commentary writer. She's an also an author, a speaker, a Christian mother and just an all round great guest and always want my pleasure to welcome Cheryl Chumley to the show. And Cheryl Chumley, well, welcome to Tax Day twenty twenty five. I'm sure you're you're you're feeling chipper ready to write that giant check to the federal.

that was not good. That was not good at all. But as I mentioned, she is the online opinion editor at the Washington Times. She's a Christian, a writer, and just a fantastic person to talk to. And I think let's see if we got a better connection this time. And Cheryl Chumley, there you are, and we were talking about tax Day and yeah, and I always find it

interesting this time of year. There's always those who suggest that election day should always be on on this day, on the fifteenth, so we're reminded of you know, people that were electing and how much money we're send into the government at the same time.

of the tariffs. But I think one of the things I find interesting about this is that there is such a difference of opinion, especially not just between the right and the left on this, but those who are on the right those There are so many people who support Trump that have come out with honest disagreements about his approach to tariffs, the way he's rolling this out, whether

or not it's going to be successful. The opinions on this really run the entire spectrum, and I think that is a testament to at least the attempt honest debate that those of us on the right one a half. And it's to my way of thinking, it's refreshing in a way, because when it comes to the left, no matter what it is, we constantly see them circle the

wagons and protect and recite the exact same narrative. But at least, you know, those of us on the right can honestly and openly state our disagreements with a particular policy, and and then you know, at the end of the day, move on and try and do it with you with with the ultimate goal being what's best for the country.

as if you know, these are the kind of jobs that are beneath Americans and really don't you know, equate to their definition of the dignity of work, and that Donald Trump wants to belittle American people by having, you know, these types of factory jobs available for the American people. I don't know if they're going to get much traction on that, on that narrative, but they certainly we were trying that out over the last couple of days.

paying jobs. And with the also comes the sort of skilled craftsmanship that we used to have in America.

situation right now. Trump hasn't even been in office three months yet, and you've got all these moving parts that are going on, and Trump has set all these different things in motion, and things look like they're going one hundred different directions. But yet when you listen to the national media, they are of the opinion that none of this is working because we don't have any results yet. And when you talk about a giant ship that needs to be turned around, you don't get a more giant

ship than the United States economy. And turning that around is going to take, I would suggest a lot, a lot longer than three months. And it is beyond ridiculous to sit there and try to convince people that we should be seeing bottom line results in such a short span of time.

hid every which way they can. And you have those in America who are worried about their own financial their own financial soundness, very valid, right, But they also have to understand that the media is purposely hyping the hysteria over what Donald Trump is doing and purposely ignoring the long term gains that his strategy will bring for political reasons simply to destroy this administration, destroy MAGA, and to go back to a time in America where it was

a Chinese system of communist capitalism that was being steamrolled at the bequest of the World Economic Form through the White House, into America's economy.

stay right there. We've got to get a quick break in here, and we will be back with you momentarily. So let's go ahead and do that, and we will continue on fifty five KRC, the Talk Station. Fifty five KRC, the Talk station. Are you looking for a Peaceful Place? For eight nineteen on this Tuesday morning, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas, continuing our conversation with Cheryl Chumley, the online

opinion editor of The Washington Times. And Cheryl Chumley, did you happen to see the meeting in the Oval Office yesterday with the President of Al Salvador and Donald Trump is there? You know, he's got all the media in there, He's fielding questions and you know they're talking about this dude that got deported and all the rest of it.

And Caitlin Collins is you know, trying to pin down Trump and I just thought it was great because you've got Marco Rubio in there, You've got Pambody in there, You've got Steven Miller in there, and Jay eve Ans was there, and Donald Trump is not afraid to toss it out to someone who may have more expertise than him to handle these different questions. And I thought the way Marco Rubio laid it out was just fantastic. And if you look at Marco Rubio, I think that guy's just been doing a great job.

It's just it really speaks so high lee of both Donald Trump and Marco Rubio and many in the Republican Party itself who are able to push aside petty politics to come together for the greater good of America first.

That's the bottom line, no ifs ands or butts. And I mean, he really is acquitting himself quite well and making the trumpet really I think making you know, it's like this. When Reagan was president, Reagan always talked about how it was important to surround yourself with people who are smarter than you in different areas because you can't be an expert on everything. And I think Trump, once he finally got that message, has really put a lot of good people around himself this time around.

seems very statesmanlike. And it's just it is refreshing. It's not just Marco Rubio. Donald Trump has really take some great people to surround himself with this time. And I think this is why he's having such great success, because the opposition sure hasn't turned down, right, the opposition is still as present and as vigorous as it was from his first administration.

is like. And I find it interesting that a couple of days after, you know, he know, he talked about his revelations and his time his conversations with Donald Trump, that he's being criticized from those on the left who are calling him a sellout or a useful idiot for Trump and a propaganda's for Trump because he's giving his honest assessment of what his time in the White House

with Trump is. And I think this is, you know, even more of a reveal of what the left is really like when it comes to people being honest and trying to have an honest you know, they're always the ones to talk about we have to have an honest discussion or an honest conversation about these sorts of things. But when you try to do that, they're the ones that always do everything they can to shut it down, Yes.

You know, Trump has an exactly changed. What happened is that he was willing right that Bill Maher himself was willing to give the guy a chance and to move past his own internal biases and step outside his own pro like bubble that has become the Democrat Party, a bunch of marching Marxists, all beating the same drum. Right, he was willing finally to give this president a chance. But had he been willing to do that in you know, twenty sixteen to twenty twenty, then he may have been

seeing a different tune back then as well. So it's sort of like, yay, you know, good for you, but where have you been?

He's got over one hundred thousand copies in print. His latest book is The Green Breakdown Becoming Renewable Energy Failure. And Steve gorm it is great once again to welcome you to the radio and fifty five KRC. How are you today, sir?

the audio of what they were doing up there. But before the before the rocket took off, CBS was doing an interview with a former astronaut, doctor May Jamison, and one of the comments she made talking about the importance of this historic space flight was that that she claimed, and I don't know how the spaceflight figures into this. But she claimed that the Earth already no longer has

an atmosphere that supports our life form. And I'm looking at that and I'm thinking about that, Well, if the Earth is not supporting our life form, how is it that you and I are here in order to have this this discussion today, and that she's out there still drawing breath.

by itself. So we're pretty small in terms of what's going on with the atmosphere. So I don't really understand her comments there.

the budget that's associated anyway with climate change. At NASA. So there's just some huge, huge policy changes in process.

or may not be unconstitutional, preempted by federal law, or otherwise unenforceable, within sixty days, and to recommend actions to change this. So we're actually going to have the federal government that are suing the states for their climate laws. This has not happened to my knowledge, to any extent over the last years. Really a huge change, and we haven't heard much about it in the press.

want to negotiate. They've just retaliated with terraffs, and so now China and the US both have terrors over one hundred percent on imports and exports, I think, And this is really, as you say, this is going to hammer a renewable energy equipment. Eighty percent of the world's solar cells and panels are made by China or they are

using components from China. Also, these big grid scale batteries that California and New York and some other states want to put in place to back up wind and solar, most of those batteries or at least the metals for the batteries come from China. And so these prices are going to skyrocket. It's going to have a huge impact and just another problem with green equipment, green energy. It's just going to stop stop by green energy and its tracks.

of these solar panels because I guess they're necessarily going to have to go into a landfill. But there's so many toxic chemicals that are involved in producing these solar panels that eventually these things leach out into the ground and calls all sorts of other problems as well well.

twenty years. Now in California, for example, our federal agencies have said it costs about twenty to twenty five dollars to try and recycle materials from a solar panel, but you only get about four dollars worth of useful metals out of it, and if you were to send it to the landfill and only cost one or two dollars. So nobody's going to recycle these things unless there's huge state or federal subsidies to do so, they're going to

send them to landfills. And so as we put more and more of these in, we send them to landfills. And you know, I sent you a little image of this picture in New York, which is also in my last book, Green Breakdown. There's a congressman standing next to this huge pile of wind turbine blades, which is thirty forty feet high in New York. And when the wind turbines blades we're out, they have to top them up

or burn them. They're too big for landfills. It's it's really a significant problem that is getting bigger and bigger as we put more of these things in.

they did for the climates. And one of them was studying climate change in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam with the government of Vietnam. This is a Navy project. Another one was a California organic recycling and composting Another one was a partnership with the Armed Forces of Ghana to combat vector born diseases. This is the United States Navy

putting money out for these things. None of these things improved Navy military readiness in any way, of course, And this is just and you know, I just found this. Look at online that stuff that the Navy was publishing. There's this, there's this analyst amounts of this government money that's going into stuff that doesn't do anything really useful as far as military purposes.

climate change. And I love this chart you put out of US military emissions by service and equipment type, and you know, you've got the Air Force has got fifty six percent of emissions, and then you know, different aircraft than the Navy. And then you got a little small sliver down there with the Marine Corps only puts out five percent of our emissions. That would figure that. You know, they're probably the most efficient out of all the military services.

And they've got you know, the I guess, the smallest carbon footprint you can possibly have.

or two at a time. I mean, this stuff is fantasy. It does nothing for our military capability. It's just there for climates. And uh and Pete higgstuff is cutting all this stuff out.

a good idea. And you know, Steve Gornam, I mean that that's the thing to me, with so much of this stuff that in a practical sense and when you know, when you talk about the economics of it, and you you know, and everything else that goes into all the you know, the different wind turbines and the solar panels and green energy this and the biofuels and everything else that and on on an economic sense. You know, none

of this stuff exists but for government subsidies. And once you wipe those out, well, these these things they fold like a chief suit.

was expensive. Well, anyway, lies eld In, the shuttle it down. The Federal Energy Management Agency is shutting down their climate programs as well. And if you have anything, any research project that says climate on it, that is going away in the federal government. Mister Trump is completely transforming at top to bottom.

conserve energy. But you know, these are the crazy things that are going on. But the book captures all this funny stuff and gives people the real background they need to see the crazy state the world is in and how it's going to change.

the people are just jaded with his climate stuff. He thinks more than half the population over there doesn't believe what leaders is telling him anymore. So I think we're about to see a big revolution. People are going to get out of the climate business. We're going to get back to sensible energy policy. But it is going to take quite a bit more for this to occur.

waste you have. And we really need a lean government. We need to get back to the markets and let companies do their sorts of thing. And these these programs that forced everybody to do certain things to try and save the climate are really very foolish.

around with Ken Cober tomorrow. But I want to thanks James, James Bogan, Cheryl Chumley from the Washington Times, and then Steve warm from the Climate Coalition of America. Just always great to have those fox with those folks on Sean McMahon, Thank you for everything. We will see you tomorrow, bright and early, five am. And until then, have a great day.
