Happy Tuesday.

Speaker 1

They had to take the top of my head off a couple of times. See if you had a brain, where'd you find that one? It's an old I'm surprised you haven't run that one more often. Joe's Tracker Brian Thomas, happy to be here and very happy Tuesday to the listeners. And thank you to Joe Tracker for, as he typically does, kick off the morning with a funny SoundBite. Uh, and for lining up the show. I always give you Joe credit for the lineup, and of course he deserves credit

for the lineup because he's responsible for putting it together. Today, Todd's Endser returns. He'll be in studios about his op ed piece not published in the online edition of the Sinsinni Inquirer. That's a frustrating thing for me, because you know, I've got an online subscription to the Inquirer, and say what you want, I like to follow local news. But the idea that you know what you get online is

not all there. It's absent from the mean that the paper has information in it that the online edition has and I think in many cases the converse is true, how come it all isn't available in the exact same place. Maybe someday we can ask that question answered anyway, Toddleby instudied to talk about why the council. Since a city council has to deal with the pension liability about a lot more aggressively, and there is a substantial outstanding pension liability,

don't think they've ever out loud addressed it. So Todd's ends are always doing a great, great job looking out for matters of significant local importance. So seven oh five with Todden Studio looking forward to having him back. Tim Rivers.

We've had Tim on quite a few times the American ghulagg chronicles, and now that Hunter Biden's pardon are the January sixth prisoners next to deal with that in an op ed piece of William mcgerrn here in a moment, at least to a small degree, he touches upon that just briefly, but his pros is brilliant as we deal with the aftermath and the realities of what Joe Biden's pardon of his son actually means. Inside Scoop it is Tuesday.

We do the inside Scoop with bright Barton News Today eighth five political reporter Wendell Hughes abo on, Yes, Hunter Biden. And finally, Daniel will not finally find Daniel Davis Deep Dive every Tuesday at A eight thirty. Today, the retired lieutenant colonel will discuss Russia, Belarus and Georgia might even have to throw at him the whole idea of russ is ruble currency deteriorating and see if that has any implication and impact. And finally, my friends from OHC, the

cancer specialists, today we will talk about blood cancers. Oh what a coincidence since I have a lymphoma diagnosis. Anyway, That'll be at eight forty five, and I'm looking forward to that. Always very interesting with OHC and actually uplifting from my perspective, learning about the new treatments that are out there and the progress we were making and getting closer and closer to I think a broader cure for cancer.

It's something I look forward to. So having OHC back on the program at the tail end of the program in eight forty five, I hope you can be around for that. Remember when you can't be around for it, always your code of fifty five carec dot com, get

your podcasts and get your iHeart media apps. You can stream the audio wherever you happen to be, and you can always feel free to call five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones. Is I like to always call it standing on the shoulder of giants? And there are so many op ed pieces and houses and discussions of the wise, the wherefores and what will this mean? In connection with Joe Biden's

well seemingly last minute decision to change his mind. Now, maybe it had been planned for a long time. It's good to be Hunter Biden, headlined today in the op ed piece by William mcgern. As he points out, no one was surprised Sunday evening when Joe Biden wanted officially he was pardoning his son. Surprised was the statement that the President issued along with a pardon. He blamed his political opponents in Congress for the woes facing Hunter Biden.

Mcgern observes that some will empathize with the father doing what he can keep his son out of prison. Maybe, but fast forwarding in the op ed. But what is striking about the President's statement is that it speaks of writing a wrong done to Hunter, not extending mercy to a man who suffered enough with his own wrongdoing. It'd be illuminating to see if similar empathy is extended to those imprisoned for actions at the Capitol on January sixth,

twenty twenty one. Going back to Tim Rivers, American Gulag chronicles joining the program later, if Donald Trump issues pardons, some of them committed violent acts, but some were given sentences that were excessive. To repurpose Joe Biden's words about his son quote, no reasonable person who looks at the facts could reach any other conclusion close quote true. How different the conversation today is from a few months ago when Biden calculated that even talking about a pardon might

cost him the reelection. Remember, folks, Joe Biden was still running for president when he uttered the statements that he would not pardon his son. Right, he was still a well some would argue, a viable candidate. That wasn't me, And props to the listener who gave me credit for calling it in advance that Joe Biden would not be the presidential nominee. I called the date wrong when I first made that pronouncement, I said they pulled the plug

on Joe Biden before December of last year. Well, okay, it took a lot longer than that, but they still pulled the plug on. So I guess I can chalk one up in the at least partial win category for my ta leaf reading. Ignoring that though, but remember he was a candidate at the time, he said he would not pardon his son. Interview on ABC News in June while Hunter's trial was going on, David, you're, as the president if he would accept the jury's outcome, their verdict,

no matter what it is. Biden. Yes. The follow up by mirror and have you ruled out a pardon for your son? Biden response yes. One week later, after the jury found Hunter guilty, the president was again asked by reporters, this is the Group of Seven summit nintally quote. I said, I'd abide by the jury to decision, and I will do that. I will not pardon him. That's a quote.

Miss mcgerrn observes. All that was missing was I give you my word as a Biden and no one believed him as mcgarn points out everyone knew the promise was meant only to bury the issue through election day. The idea that he came up with a decision to pardon Hunter for Thanksgiving holiday doesn't pass the smell test. It was always going to happen if Hunter face the real prospect of jail time, and everybody knew it, especially Hunter.

President Biden's promised not to pardon his son was the only wasn't the only whopper He's told He denied meeting Hunter overseas business associates, when in fact he did. He also insisted during the twenty twenty presidential debate that when with mister Trump, that Hunter had taken no money from China, something Hunter later admitted to doing in federal court. Many were happy to joined the president in the Hunter falsehood.

Most notorious the fifty one former intelligence officials, mostly veterans of the Obama administration, who tried to ward off honest reporting about Hunter's laptop. They jumped in right after The New York Posts verified the laptop's providence in twenty twenty. The paper had reported the incriminating emails amount Hunter's sordid business dealings in Ukraine counts in weasel words that they

knew would be lost in the reporting. The fifty one declared the email's head quote all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation. Wells quote we now know. The statement was ginned up at the suggestion of Anthony Blncoln, the future Secretary of State, who was then working for the Biden campaign. The stated is dated October nineteenth, twenty twenty, and it worked during his final presidential debate three days later, Biden's side of the fifty one without caveats when Trump

brought up what he called the Laptop from Hell. Biden's response said, the former national intelligence folks that said the laptop emails were a bunch of garbage Biden's words. This was less than two weeks before the election, by the time the truth finally caught up with the story Biden's president. Same goes for Biden's claim that the justice system has been infected by raw politics. In Hunter, Biden's case, the president is right, but not in the way he pretends.

Attorney General Mary Garland presided over a Justice department that at every turn gave Hunter kid glove treatment, including letting the statute limitations expire for the most serious tax evasion charges against Hunter, also including a sweetheart plea deal designed to bury the whole affair until Judge Marilyn Norieka asked some basic questions in court that the prosecution just couldn't answer. Then mister Garland elevated the man who orchestrated this sweetheart

deal to special counsel. The pardon is the only the latest the Biden promises broken. It was timed to present Hunter Biden's sentencing scheduled for December twelfth on the gun charges and December sixteenth on the tax charges. The expansive breadth of the pardon, which lets Hunter skate not only on the crimes he was convicted of, but on any he may have committed in the past almost eleven years, indicates the President may be worried about other Hunter criminal

activities coming to light. President likes to say, especially when moralizing about Trump, no one is above the law. When asked Monday about the president's clearly broken promises not to pardon Hunter, I love this. White House Press Secretary Kreeen Jean Pierre said her boss has all always believed in being, in her words, truthful to the American people. That is perhaps the biggest live all and the most fitting end

to the Biden presidency, well stated William mcgarden. One of just like a multitude of brilliantly written op ed pieces that serve as a wonderful springboard for conversation today, which I will enjoy having with you if you're going to give me a call five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty eight hundred eight two to three talk found five fifty on eight and t phones hang around with me. Right back, honey Field, and time for the nine first

warning weather forecasts. What do we got going today? Partly cloudy start of the day, changing the mostly sunny skies. I have thirty four of a night with twenty three or the few clouds Tomorrow mostly cloudy, windy and high forty two overnight wintery mix snow twenty for the low. And on Thursday very sunny day took a high at

twenty seven, which it's twenty two right now. Ififty five KRCD talk station, Oh, looking forward to six o'clock hour, hires some bread, weinstrip and the Wuhan you know, just the panel that's been investigating the coronavirus pandemic. They released their summer it's a five hundred and twenty page Repoard Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus pandemic makes me embarrassed to be a citizen of the United States of America. I think that's the first time I ever said those words

out loud. We have been lied to and cheated and stolen from and it's just absolutely appalling, and it continues. Let me look at this one, Hunter Biden Thing five three seven fifty y two three talk listener lunch tomorrow, Price Chili Hoop to see you there. Last one of the year, going to be during our Christmas celebration. Bob Wetter the of course, the man behind the Wish Tree program. He's going to be there addressed as Santa Claus, or

you can call him Santa Claus. I don't think he wants me to reveal his true identity tomorrow, So Santa Claus will be there, Wish Tree will be there. You can get an ornament and help out someone in need. Easy to do at price Heal Chili. Always enjoy the fellowship and looking forward to that, so put it down on your calendar. It's also, you know, interestingly enough, my how time flies. This is the forty fifth anniversary of

the Who Concert tragedy forty five years. I had a friend who was there, older brother of a good friend of mine at the time, and I remember him talking about it. It was just the the intensity of the crowd and the pushing. He said, I could pick my feet up off the ground and the crowd would hold me up in the air. They were packed in so tightly, and of course if you had the misfortune of falling, it was impossible to get back up, which is how

many people lost their lives. Basically suffocation, just terrible, terrible tragedy and the end of festival seating. Anyhow, I was thinking about more of these, the analysis of this Hunter Biden pardon on the heels of him saying over and over and over again that he wouldn't pardon his son. His son had been treated differently by the Justice Department and singled out because he was my son, and that is wrong that in the statement. But you were called

the I R. S. Whistleblowers. This is really a profound point. You know that treated differently, Your damn right, Hunter Biden was treated differently. Whistleblowers. Gary Shapley h and others. They were there in front of the House Oversight Committee talking about how federal officials prevented the Agents and IRS whistleblower Gary Shapely from even interviewing Hunter Biden. They wouldn't let

them follow up on their investigation. The point, but if Joe Biden thought the prosecution of his sons was unjust, why has he never uttered those words until now at the when he issued the pardon. Not once. I will not interfere with the judge. I will not interfere with the wheels of justice. I am not going to, you know, interfere. I'm going to honor whatever the jury determines. He never once said that this it was he was being treated poorly or singled out for prosecution, because all the facts

suggest Hunter Biden got the pass of a lifetime. They let the statute limitations just expire on the most egregious offenses, the literally millions and millions of dollars that flowed into the Biden family. And that's why most people behind the scenes and people have been paying attention to this thing realized that this pardon was coming for miles and miles away.

It's just the setting for the pardon doesn't match up with what Joe Biden said when he issued the pardon, he had a multitude of opportunities to say his son was being singled out. But but wait a second, Joe Biden, ers,

what do you mean your son's being singled out? How is it that the irs was prevented from moving forward with its investigation of the millions of dollars that were flowing into all of these you know, corporations and sub corporations and LLC's and millions of dollars, the giant diamond that the former mayor of what was it Moscow or something gave him, the Chinese Communist Party money that flowed right into his pockets, and the coffers of the Biden family,

all of that he had an opportunity to speak to about being unjustly targeted. But well, there's the facts and the evidence. I may as well keep my damn mouth shut and say, nope, it's never gonna happen. I'm not going to pardon if he did something wrong, I'm gonna, you know, just follow the law. Just this past center, after he was convicted a trial, Joe Biden rejected the idea of the pardon. I will accept the outcome of

this case and will continue to respect the judicial process. Then, of course the statement on Sunday when he issued the pardon made it obvious that he well did not accept i'll come or respect the process. I like this observation and tried to James Freeman. What really was wrong was the way Joe Biden, his vice president, facilitated his family's foreign in Richmond schemes and then repeatedly made false claims

about him. Maybe future memoirs will explain how the shady Biden cast collection ventures ever made it past the Obama White House General Counsel's office. The question that's remained unanswered for all these years and still remains unanswered what the various foreign oligarchs got in return for the millions of dollars they sent to the Biden family. It's an interesting question to ponder. Maybe you have an answer for that.

We'll probably be waiting around for a long time before well, some book is written and we get a clear, definitive response. About twenty seven and fifty five Karsten Talk Station local stories coming up, Feel free to call got to stack a stupid coming up as well. Be right back after these brief words.

Closing out the year and celebrating some fellowship and continuing the holiday spirit, which full holiday spirit following Thanksgiving last week. So let us see here before we get the local stories. It's like I got Tom on the phone. Tom, welcome to the program, Thanks for calling this morning. Good to have you on the show.

Speaker 5

Hey, good, good morning, opportunity.

Speaker 1

To damn Tom. Hold on here, Yes, I just it's Tom. It's Democrat Tom. I haven't heard from you in so long. I didn't connect Tom on the call. Scream with you.

Speaker 5

I'm auri forgotten first time.

Speaker 1

No, miss your brother, it's been too long. Are you back on your old shift or is this just a no?

Speaker 5

No, I'm actually ja gonna take the day off today. But I went in and got the crew going and uh handed it over to everybody else said I'm out of here. I'm not dealing with this today.

Speaker 1

Well thanks for calling, man. I miss your voice.

Speaker 5

I missed calling in.

Speaker 6

Trust me.

Speaker 5

Uh everybody everybody else gets to hear it. They're going to hear it regardless of whether I call it anyway. So I did want to throw my two cents. And I know we're like a month late, you know, after the election, but uh, I was nauseously relieved for the results. And I'm gonna keep hammering this point to everybody that I talked to. Uh, it's not time to let off the gas. It's not time to celebrate spike the football. Nothing. We If you just pay attention to the reactions of

a lot of Democrats and liberals. They're not giving up. No, they're they're not quitting. I mean, what was that guy, David Jolly the other day he was on I don't forget what show he's on. I saw the clip of him.

Speaker 7

Uh.

Speaker 5

They're gonna double and triple down.

Speaker 8

Uh.

Speaker 5

They they're convinced that they're right, uh, and that their way of doing things is correct, and they're convinced that everything about Trump is wrong. And so there's no reason to let up. There's no reason for them to stop. So therefore, we got to stay at our game, and we got to make sure that we're talking to people and continue to And I think one of the biggest factors that helped with the election is people just more aware of the bs that's going on from the Democrats

and how much their policies are ruining the country. It's not racism, it's not sexism, it's their policies suck. It's just that that that's just what it comes down to. And more and more people are realizing it, and they're fed up with it, and they want to change, and they want they want Hey, look, maybe we don't like the way this guy talks or his personality. But come on, we cannot keep giving our money away. We cannot keep letting people steal our money and and taking away our

freedoms and rights and all that. We can't keep letting that happen. So we got to keep it up. We got to, you know, continue to talk, share with people the information that we have, and keep revealing all the crap that these Democrats are pulling on everybody. And we got to make sure we tell everybody continually, all the time, every time, especially when elections coming up. Hey, it's less

than two years. We got a very razor thin margin in the House, so we got to make sure we tell everybody, don't vote Democrats.

Speaker 1

Have a great day, Tom, fantastic hearing from you. And Yes, another observation you are channeling, I think the opinions of many people who are paying attention to the fact that the GOP barely won the House. Yes, going back to another editorial, another message is that the GOP is about a year to get anything done. If midterm history is any guide, the party is likely to lose the House in twenty twenty six, and the partisan Senate map is

challenging the GOP. A better pass legislation at once in twenty twenty five, before member attention turns to political survival in twenty twenty six. Yes, the elections barely even over, and we're talking about that. It's going to require House Republicans in particular to stick together as they haven't in years,

and will that happen? And I turned back to yesterday and my observations about the Green New Deal, which Donald Trump campaigned on getting rid of the multi, multi, multi trillion dollar boon doggle that so many Republican states are also benefiting from. So oh gosh, darn it. No, no, no, no, no, we here was in North Dakota. We can't get rid of that. We want to do carbon capture and our state's going to make two hundred plus million dollars over

overstoring carbon carbon dioxide, folks. And that's going to happen, and it's going to piss me off the no end. I'll be bold enough to say that in the five o'clock hour, I am already upset and angry over what I know is going to be the political reality. The money is too big and too fat, The boon doggles are in place, and those Republicans who ran on getting rid of all this nonsense are going to backpedal as

soon as they realize. Oh no, oh, my state's going to suffer financial because I don't buy this crap that we have been selling. As a matter of principle, I refuse to abide by the idea that I'm breathing our our globe into into oblivion. But no, I want to do carbon capture in my state because we're gonna get a lot of taxpayer dollars. So we're just we're just

not going to repeal that provision. We're gonna continue to burn corn in our gas tanks for reasons completely unknown, but all predicated on that lie that I just mentioned. But no, because my state's gonna suffer, and the farmers in my state are gonna hurt because we won't subsidize their growth of food, which the globe needs anyway. Oh, can you hear the anger in my voice? Don't go away, be right back. Got to stack of stupid coming.

Speaker 3

Out as we embrace the end of an eraor the outcome of this election is not what we want.

Speaker 1

To defeat, does not mean we are defeated. There's plenty to celebrate this season I'm mixed at it. Hopefully this isn't the last time I call in feeling this good. I'm happy about everything.

Speaker 6

Yeah, I think he's got a great game of people around him.

Speaker 1

I just want the man protected.

Speaker 9

I am so excited about the potential to change his government.

Speaker 7

And the conversation's happening here, it's really exciting.

Speaker 1

On fifty five KRC, the talk station, what's up, y'all is Cam Jordan from the nine first Ony weatherfork as says, We've got a partly cloudy start of the day, It'll be mostly sunny at some point thirty four for the high overnight low at twenty three tomorrow, mostly cloudy, windy and forty two wintery mix overnight, maybe some snow dropping to twenty and uh sunny skies on Thursday with the

higher twenty seven twenty two degrees. Right now, if you've got Karra City talk station, time for first traffic.

Speaker 10

From the UCUP Traumphics Center uc elth Weight bas Center offers comprehensive Obcity caaren advanced surgical expertise called five one three, nine three, nine to two sixty three. That's nine twenty two sixty three. Wait traffic, that's in great shape to start off your morning. No accidents there or problems to worry about. Harvey is shut down and King the intersection is completely blocked due to an accident. Chuck Ingram on fifty five KR see the talk station.

Speaker 1

Five forty one on a Tuesday and a halfy one to you if I went three seven, four nine fifty five hundred and eighty two to three talk Tom f I fifty on AT and T phones. Man, I have to see tomorrow at listener lunch price soal Chili, where I will probably lose again. Cribbage Mike, my Summarine her friend. Good to hear from you this morning, Coy Brian. Nice hearing from brother Tom. What a nice early Christmas present was cool? It's been too long. I can't believe I well,

I just saw Tom on the screen. It's been so long since he called in like it was his allocated spot. I mean self appointed that as it was. I always enjoyed hearing from and of course his message always resonates wonderfully with my listening audience.

Speaker 11

And yes, uh myself and my lovely Brian will be there and if you have difficulty finding me, I'll be the one in the holiday Blazer, So I know that Blazer.

Speaker 1

I look forward to seeing it at Christmas time every year. So and you know you and I are going to have to get that game in because apparently the listener lunch is on the same day as the iHeartMedia Christmas Party, which starts at three o'clock here in the studio areas, and I have promised to be there, so I may be late in getting here because it is all the way across town. But whatever, my problem's not yours. At any event, We're going to play, and I'm going to

try to kick your butt. I'll promise you I'll try absolutely as we all do.

Speaker 11

Before I get to my point real quick, when you mentioned the Who tragedy, Yeah, my younger sister, who was eighteen at the time, was one of the thousand people that went in on the opposite side of the arena,

So no idea what had taken place. And if you can and may have plans to go out after the concert, so you can imagine that like my parents went through, as well as one hundred of other parents when my sister finally got home at like one two in the morning, and just the relief because the genesis was they were late starting their warm upset and when the people outside heard the music, they thought the concert had start exactly.

Speaker 1

Just unbelievable.

Speaker 11

I can't believe it's been forty five years already. Getting to Hunter once again to emphasize what you said about the special treatment, that yes, he did get special treatment, but not in the way Uncle Joe wanted us to believe yesterday. Working in the casino industry, we deal with suspicious activity reports almost on a daily basis, because the magic threshold is ten thousand dollars either in or out.

You got to have your name, address, and social Security number, and there's a lot of ways in the casino industry if you are actually laundering money to try and circumvent that. So we like banks, have to submit suspicious activity reports to what is called FINSEN, what is the Financial Crime Enforcement Network of the US government. He had hundreds, if not thousands of those because of the sloppy money laundering that the grind of Biden crime family did throughout the

world and all these transactions. So, yes, uncle Joe, he was treated properly because he should be behind bars.

Speaker 5

But do the pardon.

Speaker 11

But to throw that narrative on yesterday was just once again.

Speaker 1

Ridiculous, ridiculous and insulting to any human being who's paid even a measure of attention to the facts as they've unfolded over the past couple of years. Absolutely, it's and I even I think I said this out a lot to someone yesterday on the program or is after it. I mean that they have the audacity he or the people who wrote this statement, have the audacity to suggest that somehow he was picked on because.

Speaker 2

Of who he is.

Speaker 1

And when you see how the kid gloves that they that they treated him with throughout the entire process, the slow walking of the investigation, everything, and then to come out and say that he was picked on, I'm I'm just appalled. And is that them telling us like you, specifically Mike and and others who have paid attention and remember these facts, that we're all idiots, We're all we are so dumb. They assume that we are so dumb that we don't remember any of this. That's the audacity

that they have. And I'm just I am so insulted by it. I don't know how other I don't know how else to put.

Speaker 11

It, But there are so millions of voters this year, we're able to connect the dots once again of how they treat us and talk down to us, and I hope this will be once again another piece of the puzzle in two years. As Tom mentioned, how critical the House is to once again reaffirm once again that elite status. Just vote for us, don't just believe what we tell you, and what you're going to emphasize here in this Wuhan report once again to just affect the how not only bending the truth, but just.

Speaker 1

Flat out lying to the flat out lying. It's just it's it's that's why I said them earlier in this segment that I'm almost in arras to say, I'm a United States citizen. I just am appalled by the lies, absolute outright lies. I've always been appalled by the fraud, waste, and abuse. And there's a whole bunch that I've got to go over with. You mentioned that Wuhan report that

came out. I'm gonna get into the details on that aft top of the hour, but literally billions and billions and billions of dollars completely unaccounted for, and you kind of wonder, I wonder whose pockets that money landed in. Hmmm. Appreciate the call, my friend, look forward to seeing tomorrow. I got to take a break. It is five forty six. Get back with a call. Got Bobby online? You can feel free to call and also have a stack of stupid that I haven't touched yet. I'll be right back.

Do you hear a lot of voices on the radio? Sum are happy?

Speaker 9

So I'm not happy with you right now?

Speaker 1

How many are angry?

Speaker 7

So very angry?

Speaker 1

And discuss it at all are heard? Will yours be one of them? Fifty five drs the talk station start of the day, changing the mostly sunny skies, later high on thirty four, down a twenty three overnight with clowns, mostly cloudy and wendy. Tomorrow with a high four, wintery mix overnight dropping to twenty and sunny skies on Thursday with a high of twenty seven twenty two degrees.

Speaker 10

Right now traffic time from the UCF Traffics Center, you see helped wait while center offers comprehensive of BCD care and advanced searge of co expertise called five one three, nine three nine two two sixty three. It's ninety three nine twenty two sixty three. Highways are in great shape early on this Tuesday morning. No accidents to deal with they're as of yet, but there is we're wrecked with injuries on Harvey at King. That intersection is completely blocked off.

Chuck Ingram on fifty five KRC, the talk station.

Speaker 1

Five fifty one fifty five kr CD talk station. I'm gonna go straight to the phones. Forget the stack's too. I've got Bobby on the line, who's kind of enough to hold over the break. Bobby, Happy Tuesday to you, Happy Tuesday, my brother. Good to speak with you. A yeah, always good to hear from you. What's on your mind today, my friend?

Speaker 6

Well, we all know about the forty five years with the WHO, but yeah, we won't have any more festival seating, you know because of that.

Speaker 1

One thing that is correct.

Speaker 6

And next thing is Falci. You know you got the new Wuhan report came out. I'm just wondering why he still has a six thousand, excuse me, six million dollar security detail on it. I have to leave an office for a couple.

Speaker 1

Of years, probably because they knew the details that came out yesterday would be revealed at some point.

Speaker 6

The next thing is the best one. Did you have a good Thanksgiving weekend.

Speaker 1

Kidding me, Bobby, I had. I was like a pig, and you know what, just enjoyed the hell out of it and the highlight. Not to discount my family and the love and the embracing of all things holiday related. But taking a break from that blankety blank keto diet and fully enjoying a full spread on Thanksgiving was like manna from heaven. Oh my god, it was so awesome. I swear I got stoned off off the pump carfee pecan pie. It was amazing.

Speaker 6

I got stoned also, my brother. I tell you I went to a party. It was multicultural, multi political. But I tell you what, I've spent the best thirty eight dollars there spent in my life.

Speaker 1

I'm glad.

Speaker 6

There's nothing better than dust and open a bottle of Trump wine in front of a bunch of livers.

Speaker 1

Well, you engaged in a little politicking. I think one of the nice things about the celebration on Thanksgiving for us not an utterance. Not a single syllable was said about politics, and we all had plenty to talk about. We all smiled, enjoyed each other's company, told stories, and no words. No that the t word, The Trump word was never mentioned, the E word, the election word was never mentioned. Nothing of Republicans or Democrats. Just enjoyable conversation, Bobby.

Great hearing from you today, brother, Always pleasure anyhow, and we'll get to that. All props to my son. I will not mention names except to note that my son did the right thing and bit his tongue. One person at the table mentioned they were going to get their multiple vaccines, one of which was you can get a flu vaccine, get a COVID vaccine, you can get a

shingles vaccine. It was the trifecta of vaccines that one person mentioned that they were going to get, and my son wisely bit his tongue and did not say anything in reference to the COVID vaccine. We've got a lot to talk about at the top of the outer news on that, and let's get to a stack of stupid real quick here. After allegedly swiping a van, which she later sold for scrap, the Minnesota woman made it incriminating

entry into a personal journal. Police charge. Quote Vanessa Guerrera in her journal personal journal, totally stole a car today exclamation points something I've never thought of doing. F wording super freaking out about it. Close quote investigator's alleged at the thirty year old Guerrera made that written admission of guilt on the same August day that a Brown County man reported his two thousand and four to four two thousand and four Ford Free Star was stolen. Idiots doing

idiot things because they're idiots. That'd be a statement against interest if I recall my criminal law classes. Van where two grand later sold for scrap and salvage business at a neighborhood Blue Earth County, where Guerrera resides. Witnesses at the auto salvage business stated that Guerrera had bought, brought the van in, and then sold it to him, according

to the criminal complaint. During the audit theft pro Brown County Sheriff's Office, investigator was able to locate a journal belonging to Guerrera containing her written exclamation that she totally stole the car. Today. When contacted by the investigator, she denied knowing that the vehicle was stolen. Recently worked at as a door dash driver and now been charged with

a paraphilon who's receiving stolen property in theft. Previously been convicted of driving with a suspended license and driving without insurance. In June, she pleaded guilty to misdemeanor theft, sentenced to a brief stand in the County Joe and placed on unsupervised probation for a year. Not much of a criminal record on that one, but you know it is a statement against interest. Most people are not inclined to make those. Coming up on five efty sixty five Kirsteve Talks Station,

the report is out. It is a damning indictment of all things COVID related. That the final report from the Select Subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic. Thank you, Congressman Brad Winster, while you're still Congressman for putting it all together and issuing the statement. We've got some details to dive on into, some of which you will find absolutely appalling. I'll be right back after the top of the air news There we got again another US updates.

Speaker 12

We're going to get all the.

Break it down fast fifty five krs the talk station. What's up? Yup to Welcome Wagan. I want to welcome you, especially if you think differently weekdays at nine krs. It's six oh six. Here a fifty five kr CD talk station. Bran Thomas wishing you're very happy Tuesday. Looking for tomorrow listener, lunch Price Hill chilling, and it is, believe it or not, I've been for it has been forty five years since the Hoop Concert tragedy, so everybody's got their own recollection.

And that's kind of the Beverly Hill Supper Club. Obviously a far more tragic event, if you want to know way tragedy, but wow, to me, it's the passage of time that is really truly mind blowing. Anywall also mind blowing.

And I mentioned I wanted to get into this and thank God for summaries because since we just came out yesterday a five hundred and twenty page final report from the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus pandemic titled After Action Review of the COVID nineteen Pandemic, Lessons Earned and a Path Forward. Concresson wentz Orbusius the state, and they'll give

you that in just a moment. They looked at more than one hundred They issued more than one hundred investigative letters, thirty transcribed interviews and depositions, twenty five hearings, in meetings, more than one million pages of documents reviewed, and came

up with some unbelievably damning conclusions. Concresson wentzriup in a letter to Congress, the work will help the United States and the world predict the next pandemic, prepare for the next pandemic, protect ourselves from the next pandemic, and hopefully prevent the next pandemic. Hold on sneeze button. That time. Members of the one hundred nineteenth Congress should continue to build off this work. There is more information to find and honest actions to be taken. The COVID nineteen pandemic

highlighted a disttrust in leadership. Trust is earned. Accountability, Transparency, honesty, and integrity will regain this trust. A future pandemic requires a whole of America response, managed by those without personal benefit or bias. We can always do better, and for the sake of future generations of Americans, we must. It can be done. Okay, here we go. The origins. Remember doctor Fauci came from a bat cave or whatever. A wet market note wrong report concludes likely emerged from the

Wuhan Instituti Virology and five reasons for that. One, the virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature. Data shows that all COVID nineteen cases stem from a single introduction into humans running contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events. Wuhan home to China's foremost Stars research lab, which has a history of conducting gain

of function research and at inadequate biosafety levels. Wuhan Institudivirology researchers were sick with COVID like virus in the fall of twenty nineteen, months before COVID nineteen was discovered at the wet market, and finally, by nearly all measures of science, there was evidence of a natural origin. It would have

already surfaced and it never has. There was a proximal origin publication used primarily and repeatedly by public health officials in the media to discredit the lab leak theory, and that was prompted by doctor Fauci to profos his preferred narrative, in other words, trying to get away from the idea that we funded gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute Verrology that unleashed this pandemic on the planet, and they concluded it was most likely yes, the origin of

COVID nineteen gain of function research. Current government mechanisms for overseeing this dangerous research are incomplete, severely convoluted, and lack

global applicability, lacks standards. Do you remember EcoHealth wiance Yeah, out of leadership with doctor Peter D. Day's act using your earnings in the form of tax payer dollars to facilitate dangerous gain a function rehearch research at the Wuhont Institute of Virology, and after selects, the subcommittee released evidence of EcoHealth violating the terms of its National Institutes of

Health grant, which said you can't do this. The US Department of Health and Human Services commenced official disbar or debarment proceedings and suspended all funding of eco Health. That's rather danding, isn't it. The Department of Justice apparently is open an investigation the Ecohealth's pandemic era activities also, so maybe there'll be a prosecution down the road. One can

only pray for that accountability. National Institute for Health failures NIH procedures for funding and overseeing potentially dangerous research are deficient, unreliable, posing serious health threats to public and national security. Further, the report conclude the NIH fostered an environment that promoted evading federal record keeping laws, as seen through the actions of doctor David Morrins, among others. Apologies for my voice

this morning, folks, I truly apologize for that. And then you get into the response the COVID nineteen funding and all of the fraud, waste and abuse and just outright criminal activity related to that. Federal and states governments had significant lapses in coordination, were unprepared to oversee the allocation of COVID nineteen relief funds, failed to sufficiently identified waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars during the pandemic on multiple layers.

I might point out, for example, the Paycheck of Protection program purportedly offering a central relief to Americans in the form of loans that could be forgiven if the funds were used to offset pandemic era hardship. The committee concluded it was rife with fraud claims resulting in at least sixty four billion, with a bee of taxpayer dollars loss

to fraudsters and criminals. Unemployment, claims fraudsters cost the American taxpayer more than one hundred and ninety one billion dollars by taking advantage of the federal government's unemployment system and exploiting individuals personally identifiable information. The SBA, the Small Business Administration failures two hundred million taxpayer dollars lost as a result of the SBA's inability to conduct proper oversight, implement

internal controls, and ensure fraud protection measures were enacted. And see that's this is something that you can just really conclude at the outset of any massive government program. Let me interject my thoughts on that if you've got a multimillion dollar, multi billion dollar program, there is no way in God's green earth that our government can keep track of the dollars and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse. Its just impossible. And here's a multitude of illustrations here just

relating to COVID nineteen spending. They concluded at least half a taxpayer dollars lost in COVID nineteen relief programs were stolen, stolen outright by international fraudsters. COVID nineteen relief funding oversight, the expanding relief programs that lacked proper oversight functions exposed severe vulnerabilities in the system, paving the way for fraudsters, international criminals, and foreign adversaries to take advantage of you,

the American tax payer. Turning to the World Health Organization, Health Organization's response to COVID nineteen pandemic, they described as an abject failure because it came, oh all, this is shocking. It caved a pressure from the Chinese Communist Party in

placed China's political interest ahead of its international duties. Report also concludes the World Health Organization's effort to solve the problems were exacerbated by the COVID nineteen pamic via a Pandemic Treaty, the newest effort anyway, and concluded it may harm the United States of America. Social distancing. Yeah, we all remember standing six feet apart. In fact, it was at doctor's office, not that long ago. They still have the tape on the floor at six foot increments. I've

even asked them about that. You guys ever going to remove the tape? Oh oh, we forgot that was there six foot apart Social Distancing recommendation, which literally shut down schools and small businesses everywhere. They conclude it was arbitrary, not based in science, and during closed door testimony, doctor Fauci testified that the guidance quote sort of just appeared close quote, and I imagine it just appeared right out of his own personal sphincter mask mandates. I've been harping

on that since the whole thing came out. They concluded there was no conclusive evidence that ask effectively protecting Americans from COVID nineteen public health officials flip flopped on the efficacy of mass without providing American scientific data, causing a massive uptick in public distrust. Rightfully, so you got lied

to lockdowns. Prolonged lockdowns cause immeasurable harm not only do the American economy, but also the mental and physical health of Americans, with a particularly negative effect on younger citizens. Rather than prioritizing the protection of the most vulnerable populations, federal and state government's policies forced millions of Americans to fore go crucial elements of a healthy and financially sound life.

That's just scratching the surface. Folks got plenty more to mention on this one, including what I would conclude is actual outright criminal murder in New York City in New York State six fifteen fifty five KZO see the talk station QC kinetics got pain. So many people living in pain. I remember my father complaining about it's pain so much, and he could not wait to go under the knife

Fifty krc DE talk station Happy Tuesday, Todd Zendzer in studio. We're not at piece of the since I inquire about the pension liability that the cities Cincinnati's dealing with. We're gonna get the details from him again after top of the our news the meantime, back to the five hundred and twenty page report issued. Actually it's coming out officially today, but summary was issued yesterday regarding the Select Senates or

the Select sub Committee on the coronavirus pandemic. They've been doing an investigation after two years on this and the conclusions they have reached are again damning. Going over to New York and this is I think call it outright criminal. Now, remember the COVID virus itself. The most likely people to succumb to the virus were what co morbid conditions, the elderly,

the morbidly OBEs, those with cardiac problems. Right. Former New York Governor Andrew Crooma's March twenty fifth order forced nursing homes to accept COVID nineteen positive patients. The report concludes it was medical malpractice. Evidence shows that Cuoma and his administration worked to cover up the tragic aftermath of that

decision in an effort to shield themselves from accountability. Evidence suggests Quomo knowingly and willfully their words, made false statements to the Select Subcommittee on numerous occasions about material aspects of New York's COVID nineteen nursing home disaster and the ensuing cover up. Select Subcommittee referred Quomo to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution, and I can only hope that that happens. Travel restrictions, remember Donald Trump issued international

travel restrictions. You know, we're going to keep this thing at bay. We're going to be importing people from you know, China. What do they call that? What do the Democrats call that at the time, do you remember it? Xenophobic? Doctor Fouci, in his transcribed interview under the questioning of this subcommittee,

unequivocally agreed with every travel restriction that the Trump administration issued. Yes, it was the right thing to do, in spite of what you heard from the mainstream media and all the Democrats said, Oh mygad, Donald Trump's it's xena faed Why is he getting out? Yeah?

Speaker 7

Right.

Speaker 1

As far as COVID misinformation, public officials often spread misinformation through conflicting messaging, lack of transparency, and they say in the most egregious examples of pervasive misinformation campaign, off label drug use and the lab lak theory were unjustly demonized

by the federal government. In fact, the Biden administration even employed und democratic and, as the subcommittee concludes, likely unconstitutional methods, including pressuring social media companies to censor certain COVID nineteen content to fight what it deemed misinformation, which really wasn't. Contrary to what was promised, COVID nineteen vaccine did not stop this thread or transmission of the virus. That was

an easy conclusion. The FDA rushed approval of the COVID nineteen vaccine in order to meet the Biden administration's arbitrary mandate timeline. Two leading FDA scientists warned their colleagues about the dangers of rushing the vaccine approval process and the likelihood of adverse events. They were ignored, and days later, the Biden administration mandated the vaccine over to the vaccine mandates, they were not supported by science and caused more harm

than good. The subcommittee concluded the Biden administration coursed healthy Americans in a compliance with the COVID nineteen vaccine mandates that trampled individual freedoms, harmed military readiness, and disregarded medical freedom to force a novel vaccine on millions of Americans

without sufficient evidence to support its policy decisions. Public officials also engaged in a coordinated effort to ignore the reality the biological reality of natural immunity acquired through previous COVID nineteen infection, which I have that ignored when they were developing their vaccine guidance and mandates. No, no, we're not going to consider the idea that you could even get

vaccinatural immunity. Vaccine injury reporting systems created confusion failed to popularly inform the American public about vaccine injuries and deteriorated public trusts in vaccine safety during the COVID nineteen pandemic. Yeah, that'll be people. Well, I guess like teenagers dropping dead from myocarditis. Yeah, well, we're not going to pay attention to that. Business impact, federal and state governments imposed mandatory lockdowns that were the primary cause of temporary and permanent

business closures. This is sad. More than one hundred and sixty thousand businesses closed due to the pandemic, sixty percent of those closures classified as permanent. For the businesses that stayed or reopened, the lack of supply chain diversity exacerbated pandemic era challenges and deepened existing disparities. About halfway through with the summary of the conclusions, folks five three, seven, four, nine fifty five, eight hundred eight two to three talk

not five fifty on AT and T phones. Care to comment? I will entertain these phone calls, but first, a strong recommendation to save money. Got a car that needs to be fixed? Is it from a traditional imported manufacturer from Asia or Europe? Or a tesla? Talking foreign exchange? Foreign Exchange,

No La Tesla repair facility as well. And the great thing about Foreign Exchange and you know, getting your Tesla re faired, you'll enjoy the same benefits as folks that take their car there to get the imported cars fixed. With a full warranty on parts and service from an a S certified Master technician, you will save money. That's the point. Bottom line is your bottom line at Foreign Exchange. They're great people. You love working with them. You'd be

glad they're worked on your car. You happily and confidently heading on home with a full warranty and more money in your pocket that had you taking it to the dealers. So for all things imported or Tesla's Foreign Exchange, Westchester, that's the location that I'm strongly recommending you go too. Just take the Tyler's little exit right off of seventy five, go east two streets, just a short jog hanging right on Kingland driving you are there and tell Austin the

Chuck Ingram on fifty five krs the talk station thirty one, Happy Tuesday to you listener, lunch tomorrow, price little chili hoop to see you there. Last one of the year and our Christmas celebration. Bob Wetter with the Wish Tree will be there dressed to Santa Claus. And I'm just looking forward to seeing everybody as we get closer and

closer to Christmas. I'm going to take a phone call here before i do that, though, real quick, Jamie, let me just interject, because it is the forty fifth anniversary of the Who concert tragedy, and I brought that up earlier, and my buddy Jeff, and hello to the crew at mar Con Tool this morning. Jeff noted that one of the callers had pointed out the band was doing a late warm up and everybody outside thought the concert had started, and that's what sort of started the shoving and the

pushing and resulted in all the tragedy. Jeff said, I was not at the entrance where the tragedy has occurred, but a high school friend of mine, Walt Tony, was there. He was one of the eleven that died that night. That's a sad, sad, sad story. Anyhow, Jeff, appreciate the anecdote and condolences on your loss forty five years ago. And even Jeff pointed out, I cannot believe it was that long ago, Jamie. Thanks for holding and welcome to the program.

Speaker 13

Hey, good morning, Brian. I just had a comment about the lovely COVID report you were reading from. I don't know if people understand that schools have adjusted their standards and grading scales and indicators for learning, and so the children are still feeling the effects of what happened during COVID. Yeah, and what it seems like is happening. They're wiping the slate, pretending like it didn't happen and pushing kids through when they are not learning what they need to be learning.

Speaker 1

Well, clearly, you know, it's an interesting way you put that, because it's almost as if COVID is a justification for allowing children to advance to the next grade when they haven't demonstrated sufficient learning skills to manage the material in the grade they're in. I mean, that's that's insane, And people justify this because of equity or whatever. And I'm thinking, how much possible good can you be doing a child by advancing them to the next grade level when they're

failing at the one they're in. Oh well, COVID or equity or whatever, it doesn't make a witsworth of sense. It doesn't pass the smell test for a logic and reason standpoint, but it's a valid point.

Speaker 13

It's astounding, and I think, you know, I know in my local district the COVID money was spent on administrator positions, so the money did not go to directly support the kids.

And second, they I don't understand how. I actually don't understand how the teachers are not pulling their hair out because they're the ones to keep getting the kids in their classrooms, say, in fourth grade, and their kids have not learned second and third grade content, and so it's so overwhelming that I don't think they can face it. They just they can't face the challenge of it all. And of course the children are that the ones who.

Speaker 1

Are suffering, absolutely, period, end of the story. There in lines the problem the children are suffering. And I've heard people defend the idea of allowing a child to advance from let's say third to fourth grade even though they haven't mastered the third grade level materials. Well, you don't know what it's like from a peer pressure standpoint for a child to deal with being held back. Well, you

don't know what it's like. I mean, you know, it's the old John Wayne saying, you know, life is hard, it's harder if you're stupid. I mean, Lord Almighty, deal with the momentary lapse of you know, respector or or

peer pressure whatever. Learn the materials and then build the building block foundation that allows you to move forward and advance and cope with and deal with life and it's challenges because you know reading, you know you're writing, and you know you're arithmetic, other subject matters that you gotta deal with. If you don't know them and you continue to move on, you will only fall further and further behind, obviously leading you to a life hooked up to the

umbilical court of some social welfare program. Ah, drive me crazy. I don't understand the world we find ourselves in. I really don't, And you're right, it harms the children. There in lies the challenge which harms America in extraordinary ways. Six point thirty five. If you five KCD talk station more from that five hundred and twenty page report summary, and Mike is on the funnel, be happy to take

Mike's calls. Well, but before I do any of that, I want to save you a lot of money and recommend you go to Affordable Medical Imaging or Affordable Imaging Services rather than get your imaging mrict scans that co cartograms, ultra sounds, lung screenings, and cardiac scorings all a literal tiny fraction of what the hospitals charge you. Hell, you can get a cardiac scoring or a lung screening for ninety nine dollars. I don't think you can even walk

into a hospital for ninety nine dollars. And here you get a scan that your doctor's ordered for ninety nine bucks, no ops, no extras, and the board certified radiologists report included in every scan they do. So, rather than pay five thousand plus or more dollars with a separate bill for a radiologist report, go to Affordable Imaging Services and get a CT scan without a contrast for four hundred and fifty with a contrast six hundred huge price difference. Right,

it's like ten percent of what a hospital charge. And it's still amazing. Because Affordable Imaging Services is a for profit entity, they're still making money and charging a fraction that gives you a great illustration of how much money the hospitals make on their imaging departments. You have a choice. You don't have to go to the hospital, go where

you want. That's why I recommend Affordable Imaging Services. Been there myself, got a CT scan from them five on three seven five three eight thousand, five one three seven five three eight thousand. You can learn more online just go to Affordable Medimaging dot com.

Speaker 7

Hi, Brian talk.

Speaker 14

About the vaccine report saying that the were they're saying the vaccine where the code reports that the vaccine wasn't effective and they shouldn't have made a mandatory. That kind of helps Bobby Kennedy with his with everything. That's the one thing they're pointing like he was against the vaccine, like well, the reports against.

Speaker 1

The vaccine yep, and people who were against the vaccines were silenced. Facebook would pull your posts. Everybody in social media couldn't hear your voice, womb voice in the wilderness. I mean, you know, I didn't get the vaccine. I struggled with COVID. Mightily could have been because I was on cancer treatments at the time that I got such a bad case of it. Many people who have pointed to that one of the comorbid conditions, it would lead you having a more problematic episode of COVID.

Speaker 2

That was me.

Speaker 1

I ended up with more antibodies and you could shake a stick at After a year, I had myself tested and it was still like, no, you're immune. You know, okay, natural immunity is and was a thing back then, but you couldn't talk about that. Get your stick and get your jab because you know the pharmaceutical companies. You'll be able to hold them accountable if they go, oh no, you couldn't. That's right because of the Emergency Use authorization.

Sorry sucks to be you anyway. Healthcare impacts. Over to the report and more of the conclusions I'm diving on into. Thank you again to Congressman Brad Weinschervin someone going through five hundred and twenty pages and pulling out the key points on it. The summary America's health care systems severely damaged by the pandemic. Patients experienced a decreas quality of care, longer waytime, shorter medical appointments, and misdiagnosis. Some people didn't

go to the doctor. They were freaked out. Why would I go into a doctor's office where, oh my god, someone might breathe on me here only get in a

fetal position and hide to my living room. Unemployment rates surged to levels not seen since the Great Depression because of well the lockdowns, overly broad mitigation measures, including the now debunked six feet apart guidance, which doctor Fauci admitted in closed door testimony he pulled out of his personal sphincter my conclusion, but effectively what he said disproportionately impacted

work sectors with low wage earners. Federal reserves. Aggressive early and unprecedented response to the COVID nineteen pandemic prevented a severe economic downturn. This continued approach also contributed to stagger inflation. Still living all of results of that and then pile on top of it. After all, the trillions of dollars of COVID nineteen money that float into the system, watering

down the value of your dollar. Follow up with the Inflation Reduction Act, which wasn't you're still paying for that one. And I also remember there's still COVID nineteen money floating around out there. The cities are using to, oh, I don't know, plug budget gaps cities. Cincinnati school closures. The quote unquote science never justified prolonged school closures. Children were unlikely to contribute to the spread of COVID nineteen or

even suffer severe illness or mortality. Instead, as a result of the school closures, children experience historic learning losses, higher rates of psychological distress, and decreased physical well being. The ripple of fat on that one. Anybody who's a parent out there that went through this with younger age children,

probably you're still feeling it. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention influence Biden Administration's CDC broke precedent providing a political provided a political teachers organization with access to its scientific school reopening guidance. You remember this one. I had forgotten. Former CDC Director Rochelle Wolenski asked the American Federation of Teachers to provide specific language for the guidance, and even once so far as to accept numerous edits made by

the American Federation of Teachers. The CDC director deferred reopening guidance to the teachers union. How many doctors do you think are over at the American Federation for Teachers? How many doctors with any connection to pandemic or pandemic related science were involved in providing the specific language? Yeah, I think you know the answer to that question. Schools remain closed longer than necessary because the American Federation of Teachers

political interference in the CDC school reopening guidance. It's a political union, not a scientific organization. It's a political union that advocated for mitigation efforts that prolonged school closures, including an automatic closure quote unquote trigger. Testimony revealed, according to the report, that eight AFT president Winingarten had a direct telephone line to contact former CDC Director Wolenski. Standardized test scores show that children lost decades worth of academic progress

as a consequence of COVID nineteen school closures. Mental and physical health concerns also skyrocketed, and here you go with suicide attempts by twelve the seventeen year age girls rising fifty one percent. I got a few more conclusory points on the report again, you can find it online. Five hundred and twenty pages worth of damning indictments of our elected officials. And oh my god, the walk on water doctor Fauci six forty seven fifty five k see the

talk station. Wonder if anybody out there is embarrassed for having listened to and attentively followed every utterance that came out of doctor Fauci's mouth. Emory Federal Credit Union moving away to something negative is something extremely positive. It's a better, better way to bank over at Emory Federal Credit Union. Been banking with them for more than a decade and always always happy with the service there because folks are extremely friendly. They'll help you deal with you know, things

like loans and also fienom loans. The rates are always fantastic and Emory right now up until the end of this month. You have until December thirty first, if you remember, you can get one point eighty five percent off your holiday loan. That's what they're calling it's a personal loan. Call it a holiday loan, it's a holiday time call it whatever you want. It's one point eighty five percent off the already low rate. All you need to do is contact any Emory Federal Credit Union branch or even

apply online. And I recommend going online because you can

Chuck Ingram on fifty five KR SEED the talk station. It is six fifty one here fifty five kr c DE talk station, and a very happy Tuesday to you. Coming up after Top of the Air News, Todd Zenzer comes in studio talking about since at Council dealing with the pension liability and his op ed piece of the Cincinnia inquire how it needs to be dealt with more aggressively. You can't find that on the online edition of the Enquirer, and you got to read it in the actual paper version.

I think Todd'll probably give us a full insight into his analysis. And after the Top of the Air News follow by Tim Rivers American Gulag Chronicle. I've had him on a whole bunch of times, and since Hunter Biden's been pardoned. How about the January sixth prisoners, But the seventy two year old ladies locked behind bars were wandering around the Capitol building. Yeah, I talk about disparate treatment inside scoop But bright Bart News at eight oh five

and Daniel Davis Deep Dive at eight thirty. Final conclusory points from the five and twenty page long summary or the report coming out of today Senate's a subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic. The report is titled After Action Review of the COVID nineteen pandemic, the Lessons Learned and a

Path Forward. So not only do they do a post mortan on all of the lies that we were told, it also is supposed to provide a guidance for the future, so the government credibility isn't torched like it has been as a consequence of what they told us over COVID. Anyway, go over to the Health and Human Services Department and the title of the subject heading on this one obstruction.

Biden Administration's HHS engaged in a multi year campaign of delay, confusion, and non response in this in an attempt to obstruct this select subcommittee's investigation and hide evidence that could incriminate or embarrass senior public visuals doctor Fauji. It appears that HHS even intentionally under resourced its component that responds to legislative oversight requests. So it's like when you're issued a Foyer request, there's specific laws governing responding to a Foyer request,

and you just ignore it. Senate Subcommittee sends you request pursuing to their guidelines. Well, we're going to just defund or under resources department that is supposed to respond in a timely fashion to the investigation of the Committee's requests

for information. Screw those guys. Basically eco Health obstruction going back to eco Health and one that was behind funding the Wuhan Institute of Virologies gain a function Research President Peter Dazak obstructed the Select Subcommittee's investigation by providing publicly available information, instructing his staff to reduce the scope and pace of productions of documents, and doctoring documents before releasing them to the public. He also provided false statements to Congress.

Doctor David Morenz deliberately obstructed the Select sub Committee's investigation, likely lied to Congress on multiple occasions, unlawfully deleted federal COVID nineteen records and shared non public information about NIH grant processes with Eco Health president doctor Peter Daizac. It's rather incestuous group of relations going on here, isn't it.

And then finally New York obstruction. New York's Executive Chamber, led presently by Governor Kathy Hockel, redacted documents, offered numerous illegitimate privileged claims, and withheld thousands of documents without an apparent legal basis to obstruct the Select Subcommittee's investigation into former Governor Cuomo's pandemic era failures. Those failures I mentioned earlier, which really should be the he's referred to the Department

of Justice for criminal prosecution. I mean the fact that he knowingly and wilfully made false statements to the Select Subcommittee on numerous occasions, and his order forced COVID nineteen positive elderly people into nursing homes where they would obviously go and infect the clearly more vulnerable elderly folks in nursing homes. I wonder if there's a final accounting of the death toll brought about by that directive. Six fifty five krs. The talk station Local stuff coming up with

Todd's enders since at Council. Specifically, we'll hear about American Gulag Chronicles, Tim Rivers and whether he thinks it's any hope for the January sixth prisoners, A whole lot more coming up. I hope you can stick around.

He'll be on at seven forty now that Hunter Biden has been pardoning because of course they were all just picking on him and had nothing to do with his criminal reality. How about the January sixth prisoners,

what's in store for them? We've got the inside scoop of bright Bart News political reporter Wendell Huza bow is going to join us in an hour talk about guess Hunter Biden, and then Daniel Davis deep dive on Russia, Belarus, Georgia, and then my friends at OHC the Cancer Special it's going to be talking about blood cancers. That'll happen at the end of the next hour. In the meantime, Welcome back.

Always a real distinct pleasure to have men's studio. Todd Zen's are a recently pendent op ed piece which appeared in the paper version of the Cinsai inquir He is a West Price so Resident retired inspector generally the United States Department of Commerce. After thirty one years of conducting audits and investigations of federal officials, programs and operations, he remains a certified fraud examiner and he knows things financial clearly.

Todd Zenz are welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show, tackling the problem of well City of Cincinnati finances, most notably the still ongoing and yet to ever be resolved pension problem. Welcome back, my friend. I love having you in studio. Thank you, Brian, good morning, and I certainly appreciate you taking the laboring or and staying up on what is really a very very challenging financial situation. You and I can talk all day long about the

problems facing the City of Cincinnati. I mean we were talking off air most notably about the backlog of just simple, fundamental, basic things like road repairs.

Speaker 9

That's right.

Speaker 1

It's scoot that mic up and get closer to it a little bit. It's just a simple core service, something that acts as a financial draw because people are inclined to want to move into cities with good infrastructure. You let your roads deteriorate over deckage, you end up with a four hundred million dollar backlog. They're supposed to do X number of millions of dollars of road repairs each year, and every year they kick the damn can down the road. Well, welcome to the pension program.

Speaker 9

That's exactly right, Brian. They're doing the same thing. They're kicking the can down the road. And even when they get surplus my like they did this year sixty five million dollars, instead of applying that to the pension liability, which is an eight hundred million dollars shortfall.

Speaker 1

Eight hundred million, they decide to.

Speaker 9

Put four million of that sixty five million towards the pension liability, and they spend the rest. I think there's about five hundred thousand dollars left of that sixty five million that they haven't applied yet.

Speaker 1

And where does that money go off to. It's a random decision by the mayor that I'm going to spend it over here. I mean, this isn't the power of the purse resting in the hands of Congress type situation. With that money, it's like we've got a dictator who can just decide on his own terms where the money's going to be spent.

Speaker 9

Well, the way it was reported is that they broke they broke it down into three different buckets. The mayor got to recommend spending, the city council got to recommend spending. In the city manager got to recommend spending. But I must say that the money that the city manager spent all went towards not all, but most went towards public safety. The other things were all what we call pet projects. The mayor wanted to spend three hundred thousand dollars renovating City Hall and you know things.

Speaker 1

Like that, real important stuff, very important, like the Bengals getting new locker rooms for the players. It in yours to everyone's benefit when that kind of thing happens, doesn't it. That's right, great, great expenditure at taxpayer dollars. They're per ball. So in order to tackle this challenge, which, as you point out in your op ed piece, and I applaud you for it, CINCINNTI Council must attack pension liability more aggressively.

The Cincinnati Futures Commission, Now, they remember when they rolled out the report all the things that the city needs to be doing or the things that they should be looking at by way of righting this ship. And weren't they the ones that said this was the most concerning threat facing the City of Cincinnati or pension liability.

Speaker 9

Yeah, that's right if you read the report. Unfortunately, this was towards the back of the report. The report's very difficult to read in the first place. But they identified three threats, they call them threats. The most concerning is the pension liability. And basically the issue is that eventually

it's going to eat the general fund alive. That by the time we get down the road ten, fifteen, twenty years, the pension liability, if it's not fixed, is going to eat into the general fund to the point where we can't afford basic operations. In addition, they're going to be they're going to have to reduce benefits even more than they have already.

Speaker 1

Well, can a parallel be drawn to our national debt of thirty seven trillion dollars because more and more of that goes to debt service, eating into the rest of the revenue that's supposed to fund things like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc.

Speaker 9

Right, Well, we already borrow money to the point where we spend one hundred and forty million dollars a year servicing our debt on our bonds. So this that is even beyond that. This eight hundred million dollars is even beyond that. And they're just contributing pennies to the thing every year compared to what is required to make it solvent.

Speaker 1

Pennies directed at the most concerning threat facing the city.

Speaker 9

Yeah, there's definitely a disconnected futures Commission. Their solution, the only solution they came up with, was to take the pension fund and get it to a point. Right now, it's sixty eight percent funded. They want to get it

up to eighty percent funded. And if they feel that they do that, they can negotiate with the Ohio Retirement System Public Employee Retirement System opers OPERS and therefore offload the pension fund to the state now it's very complicated, very controversial because you don't you don't know how the two plans compare at this point, but that's their only solution.

And in order to do that, they want to raise four hundred million dollars three hundred and ninety million dollars to bring that pension fund up to eighty percent funded.

Speaker 1

And they and had that been paying into the pension fund on an appropriate level in the previous couple of decades, we wouldn't have this challenge to start with, and we wouldn't have to worry about unloading it on the rest of the Ohio tax payers.

Speaker 9

Right What's interesting is that right now, the pension system is governed by a federal lawsuit settlement called the Collaborative Settlement Agreement from twenty fifteen, where the city agreed to bring the pension system to full funding one hundred percent funding by twenty forty five. They gave them thirty years to get there, and we already know, Brian, that they're not going to make it. They're not going to come anywhere close.

Speaker 1

It's a pre existing function of government. It's like, you know, you got X number of things you gotta pay for every year and that pension is one of them, just ignore the hell out of it, and then they have to go to federal court and enter into a settlement agreement that gives them an additional thirty plus years to get to write this ship. And yet they haven't lifted a finger in an effort to even comply with that.

Speaker 9

Yeah, they're not gonna make it.

Speaker 1

And are we governed by idiots? Is that what this comes down to? Are they all just financial illiterates? Or if I was under that pension program, I would be screaming bloody murder about this. What I mean, those who have to rely on this pension system? Where are they? Where's the revolt? Yeah?

Speaker 9

Might Well, that's where this collaborative settlement agreement came from twelve years ago. Is that people got so upset, like they asked me union's individual retirement retirees. So that's where the collaborative settlement agreement came from in the first place. And based on the agreement, it looks like the people could come at them again for not complying or not living up to their agreement. They could probably reopen the thing, I would like to think, so, so we'll see what happens.

Speaker 1

It's like, I don't know what the terms of conditions of the collaborative agreement are, but if you've been given X number of years, it seems to me there are probably certain benchmarks that you must accomplish along the way, because you can't just wait till the thirtieth year and then say, well, oh, that's right, we should have been paying into this pension thing because we were obligated to do it thirty five years ago or whatever.

Speaker 9

Yeah, the agreement doesn't really specify specific amounts that need to be devoted.

Speaker 1

There is a failure in terms of entering into the agreement.

Speaker 9

Yeah, but it does allow certain things to reopen negotiations or reopen the settlement agreement you know that the judge can approve. And this failure to be on track for one hundred percent by twenty forty five I think falls into that category.

Speaker 1

I would make that argument. It seems like a winner. I'm not going to call it a no brainer given the complex to the situation Todd, but I think the reason that this happens is I don't know that their financial illiterates. I think that's probably part of it, but I think they just spend money on their constituents. They spend all these these things on their constituents. But aren't the pensioners their constituents.

Speaker 9

Yeah, but that's a smaller number, I think.

Speaker 1

But screw them. They're retired, basically, isn't that the attitude? Well, let's just look at the last few weeks. All right, let's pause on that note. We have a nice foray or entry to start off hitting the ground running when we bring back Todd Zenzer again, check out the op ed piece, since any council must attack pension liability more aggressively. Actually, I think I would have been a little more aggressive in the wording of the op ed piece. Todd stick

Speaker 1

Seven twenty and Happy Tuesday too. Brian Thomas in studio with Todd Zenzer. He knows his stuff when it comes to audits and things financial of us a Department of Commerce. Thirty one years as the Inspector General, he still remains a certified fraud examiner. And basically it sounds to me like what we're dealing with is a bunch of financial fraud or at least massive incompetence on the part of

the City of Cincinnati. Pension liability outstanding total in the whole six hundred and eighty million dollars, right, something like that.

Speaker 9

Actually, the pension liability is up over eight hundred million.

Speaker 1

Oh h here, I am misplacing a couple one hundred million dollars, But that's what the City of Cincinnati does. You're getting ready to walk in through some extraditional points on this when we took a break, Todd, So let's talk about it, because you and I were engaging in this discussion on the break, and in spite of the fact that the pension is just woefully underfunded and it is under the subject matter of a federal settlement agreement

that's right, and we're not compliance. Apparently they still ignore it.

Speaker 9

Well, they are ignoring it. That's that's the issue. They're continuing to kick kick the problem down the road. You know, they just spent sixty five million dollars of the surplus. So but over the last three weeks they've come in for a proposal of three hundred and twenty five thousand dollars for a program a base in California. It's probably got probably got a handful of cities that are participating for to try to attack youth violence, youth gun violence.

And the idea is to actually pay certain youthh to not commit crime, to behave that's right. So that's three great, that's three hundred and twenty five thousand dollars.

Speaker 1

It's just an insane societal regression.

Speaker 9

And then we've got half a million dollars that the city council wants to spend on mental health, mental health program for transgender youth. They've got there was the Vice mayor was on the radio just the other day about historic preservation of North Avondale and she's suggesting that the city council can pay for stained glass windows for homes in North Assondale. I mean, it's you're making this. I'm

not making that up. No, I heard it myself. So the idea is that there's a lot of things to spend money on.

Speaker 1

That silence was me just in a state of absolute disbelief. I apologize.

Speaker 9

There's a lot of worthwhile things to spend money on. It's never ending. But the point is that dispensional liability is a threat to the city and they're not doing anything about it.

Speaker 1

Well, and you just mentioned I'm not having to go with transgender youth and their mental challenges. I can certainly acknowledge it. They probably do. But I just got done going through the Congressional the summary of the COVID nineteen Select Subcommittee report, and it talked about one of the consequences of the lockdowns and the lack of education was a fifty one percent increase in girls twelve to seventeen

committing suicide. Wow. Yeah, you know, that is a broad much broader than the challenges of the transgender youth, which don't make up a sizable chunk of the population. That challenge, in and of itself alone sounds like a more justifiable thing to try to take a stab at. But you know, this is the city of Cincinnati. What are they supposed to What do they think they could possibly do?

Speaker 9

Yeah, like four million dollars a year to the Green Cincinnati plan, It's like, is that really, is that really going to do anything for the environment?

Speaker 1

Absolutely not, absolutely.

Speaker 9

Not, But they keep spending. They just dedicated what is it, five hundred thousand dollars for a green bank.

Speaker 1

And that's the girl's a green bank.

Speaker 9

The green bank is another kind of quasi agency that the city's going to set up in order to be a clearing house for money devoted to climate change.

Speaker 1

Okay, and to everyone who might think that's a great idea, again to the Wall Street Journal, Bjorn Lomburg's abed piece, climate change colonialism keeps poor countries impoverished, And his point is a brilliant one. You know, if you even want to look at the weather related deaths that have gone on, even if you want to draw a parallel between climate change and weather, extreme weather took an average of nine

thousand lives each year over the past decade globally. Yet they are spending literally billions of billions of dollars in programs that do absolutely nothing for the impoverished countries that they claim their saving through their green projects. This is a global level talks here. Now we're moving down to the Cincinnati city area level. As if what our carbon emissions are collectively in the city have anything to do with anything that's right.

Speaker 9

I agree with you, Brian.

Speaker 1

Todds ins are hold on. We're going to continue this conversation one more segment. First, they'll word for my great friends at Fast and Pro Roofing. Outstanding folks they are. They cannot be beaten in terms of the beautiful work that they do. Fast and Pro Roofing known for the excellence and quality of their work. It is truly superior. But before the work comes comes the free roof inspection.

And that's where you got to worry. If you're working with some of the roofing company, I doubt you're going to get better quality roofing work. But in the bottom line is you're probably going to get ripped off because there's so many ripoff artists in the roofing business. They want to sell you something. They're going to say something you don't know anything about getting on roofs and looking for things that are wrong or problematic. They do that and they come down they tell you got it to

get a new roof. Well maybe not Fast and Pro will never try to say you anything. You do not need your roof's in okay shape. They'll come down to say, hey, it's an okay shape, call me in a couple of years. Because you've at least got what it looks like that much life less and left in it. That's a valuable, valuable piece of advice you're going to get. And of course Fast and Pro move on their way and go do another inspection elsewhere. Tell Eric I said, hi, if

he comes over and does your roof inspection. My daughter's fiance. I'm so happy to say that he's been with Fast and Pro for a number of years now, and he's been in the roofing business i think since high school. Good kid, Well it's not a kid, but you get the idea. One of the wonderful employees in Fast and Pro. Ry and Amanda have hired only the finest in roofing contractors, or rather roofing employees. That's why they enjoy a plus

with the better business peer. You get the automatic upgrade to the certainty landmark Pro fifty years shingle, so don't have to worry about making a choice about going with a twenty five year shingle. That's a freebee on them. The upgrade metal roof if you want to sub out the swap out the shingle for a metal. They'll do that for you. They do custom metal work like copper work around bay windows and that kind of thing. Literally everything,

plus a lot of exterior projects. So check them out online. The beauty of their work will unfold as you go to the website. Fastenpro roofing dot com, Faste and proroofing dot com.

Speaker 1

Seven thirty fifty fifth KRC Detalk station. We can talk to him for hours. Todd's enzer form Inspector Jenn of the Oast Department of Commerce. He knows what he's talking about when it comes to fraud examinations. He also knows what he's talking about when it comes to bud it comes to allocating and properly budgeting. The City of Cincinnati well, as revealed this morning in the brief amount of time we've been talking, has an epic failure in this regard.

The pension system is woefully underfunded and I want to go back just briefly Todd to the idea the since Any Futures Commission put out, which again the Sinceni Futures Commission said, this is the biggest gravest threat the city is facing, this pension liability. In an effort to deal with that, if they write the pension a little bit, they bring this hole down to four hundred million, then

somehow OPERHS would be willing to take it over. Well, like, ohiopech and as an Ohio tax payer and I don't live in the city Cincinnati, I'm like, this is the hole you dug yourself in. Don't put that liability on me. Why would OPERHS even agree to take it?

Speaker 9

Yeah, well, I'm not really sure why they would take it, But I don't know that the Futures Commission was all that confident because they think that just getting to that amount would get them to the negotiating table. It's not that it would seal the deal or anything like that. That's just to get talks going with the pension, the state pension system.

Speaker 1

But that would also bring them closer to compliance with the consent decree they entered into the federal government, which is supposed to be doing anyway, that's right.

Speaker 9

So they should probably go ahead and try to reopen that agreement if they give themselves a little more time and be more aggressive about bringing that bringing that up.

Speaker 1

But then we wouldn't be able to buy a new stained glass windows for the folks in Avondel. Yeah.

Speaker 9

The the the other issue though is this is regionalizing the waterworks and whether that is even a possibility.

Speaker 1

How would that help because so far as you've explained, and we've been over this before, with the sale of the railroad, they're just selling literally everything that's not nailed down to make to meet their obligations presently, right right, and that goes with the pension because right now the pension's paying out more than it is taking in.

Speaker 9

That's right. They've got four thousand people taking out or beneficiaries that are using the using the retirement system, and they've got three thousand people paying in. In addition, they the pension Board, which is an agency of the city. The pension Board has to sell its assets. It's reported to the city that it has to sell its assets

in order to even pay bennet fits and expenses. So they're eating away their investment of portfolio in order to actually pay their bills, and so that reduces their investment income. And they right now, according to their financial report, they're one of the highest pension systems in the country I think, who are using their investments to pay their their bills or eating into their investments to pay their bills.

Speaker 1

Which obvious stating the obvious imperils their ability, I mean, more rapidly each year because the city clearly is not replenishing what is being paid out. They haven't prioritized even maintaining some even a level of status qual It sounds.

Speaker 9

Like, right, And even their projections that went into that collaborative agreement said that they were going to earn seven and a quarter percent on their investments. Well down below seven percent. They're not even hitting that target. So they've got a lot of issues. It's kind of a downward spiral, and nobody's really worried about it.

Speaker 1

I guess, all right, let us just paint a somewhat bleak scenario which looks like the trajectory we were on while the council people and the city manager and the mayor all fiddle. What happens when the pension runs out of money?

Speaker 9

Well, I don't know that it's going to run out of money.

Speaker 1

It's going to have to Well, they're they're eating principle up as we talk apparently, So I what is it? What is the future for the city sense? Any look like if this problem is not.

Speaker 9

Fixed, well, they're going to start reducing benefits fairly early, earlier than failure. And I don't really know the answer

to that, Brian. I think they're going to have to find some way to shore up the liability, to reduce the liability, and they're going to to have to reopen their collaborative settlement agreement to give themselves more time to get there if they can, if they can, and I really think that the city just has to start putting money into that pension liability to ward off what we're talking about, instead of spending it on stupid things, on all these pet projects and all this social welfare spending.

And they've got to start prioritizing their spending. It's as simple as that. And yeah, I think it's a real problem for the for the people that have to rely on that pension system.

Speaker 1

Clearly I would want to be there. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be there either. So anyhow, well, You've shed a huge bright spotlight on a problem that every one of the cities should be talking about, certainly those in elected capacity, and they should prioritize this as

numero una, just like the Cincinnati Futures Commission did. Boy, they thought the sun shined out that since if you could future Commission's bottom until you get to this particular component in their chapter in the report and you realize that, no, we are on a downward spiral that doesn't look like it's going to be fixed.

Speaker 9

Their recommendation was for the mayor to appoint a task force to even look into this issue. He hasn't even done that.

Speaker 1

Todd Zenzer, you're a brilliant man. I appreciate what you're doing on behalf of the citizens of the city of Cincinnati, whether they appreciate or not, and hopefully more competent people will be elected to deal with the problem.

Speaker 1

It is seven forty one here for about airc Detalk Station. A very happy Tuesday to it could be. It could be happier if we didn't have people locked up for maybe just engaging in what I've always described as a sort of drunken fraturning party gotten slightly out of hand. Of course, January sixth is what I'm referring to. Now.

Some people did engage in violence, but seems to me the vast majority of people who have been convicted were convicted merely of wandering around in the building, having at first been invited to enter the building by members of law enforcement. Someone who knows all about this returned, and I love having them on the programme. The collaborator and the person responsible for putting together the two volumes, the American gulag Chronicles Letters from Prison and the American gulog

Chronicles Volume two, which is the Art of Confinement. Welcome back to the Morning Show, Tim Rivers. It's a real pleasure to have you back on today.

Speaker 7

Oh thanks, Brian, appreciate you having me back on.

Speaker 1

You're yac.

Speaker 7

Yeah.

Speaker 1

Now, first off, since it's kind of a springboard, everyone

keeps bringing it up. The absurdity behind Joe Biden's pardoning of his son, not that that comes as a surprise to anybody, but the idea that he had the audacity in the face of all the evidence that we all know about, at those of us who've taken the time to remember, like the slow walk of the IRS investigation, allowing the statute limitations to blow by, that somehow he was the victim of an abusive justice system, and that nobody out there, if it wasn't for the fact that

he was Hunter Biden and the son of Joe Biden, would have been gone after from a legal perspective, despite of the fact that he pled guilty to tax evasion and was found guilty of the FFL violation. What was your reaction to that, knowing all that you know about how ill treated and desperately treated these January six folks were.

Speaker 7

I can't say that on the air.

Speaker 1

Thank you for honoring the sec guidance that I must follow every day. Trust me, I understand how difficult it can be.

Speaker 7

Yeah. I mean, I'm going to read it right after he got this book. In the throes of addiction, I squandered opportunities and advantages, and in recovery, we can be given the opportunity to make amends and rebuild our lives. If we never take for granted the mercy we have

been afforded, give me a freaking break. I mean, if you were some poor guy who had been victimized for showing up and protesting one day, thrown into a jail for three years and nine months, never given a trial, beaten abused, I can't really tell you the things that might happen to you in that environment, but they're really horrible, and you can read about them in the book. And then you want to, you know, you want to play like I'm the victim. How democrat is this? I'm just

going to come right out and say it. The Democrats are victimized all the time. They've they've inculcated a culture of victimization in order to split America into the halves and the haves not. And I think it's very important to realize that this wasn't like a blanket pardon this back to ten years Yeah, why did it go back ten years? Well, guess who started working in Ukraine just a little bit after ten years, Hunter Biden. This is a cover. This is Joe Biden's pardon. This is not Hunter's pardon.

Speaker 1

Yeah, very excellent point, and that is one that cannot be overlooked. You are at absolutely right. This is a pardon for Joe Biden and the Biden what we'll call crime family, if we may be so bold, and I think we can, I mean, Lord almighty, how many suspicious activity reports did financial institutions turn in on the multitude of Biden family members and friends over a short period of time. If that was you or I we'd be locked up right now.

Speaker 7

Yeah, well, you don't have to do that to get locked up in this country anymore. Well, and I'm hoping it's Brian. I'm just gonna say it. I think I think all of us have seen enough truth exposed. If you haven't seen enough, I can take where to go to find it because it's right out there in the open. Mainstream media only show it to you, but we've shown it to you for almost three years now, and I think that's all going to come out. I think now this the curtain is going to get ripped back. How

did that say it? And when it gets too expensive to maintain the illusion, we'll just pull the curtain back, turn off the stage lights, move the furniture, the actor to leave, and you'll see that brick wall. Well, and I think that's what we're looking at. We're looking at the brick wall. All the truth. Now, all of these things have been exposed. The result was a landslide on this election for President Trump, and I think they're scared to death of his appointments, and rightly so. We're entering

a new era. But I want to compare the pardon for a hunter should absolutely eliminate any opposition anybody ever had about pardoning the Jay stationery because they've done nothing compared to what this man has done, not to mention stealing, helping to steal the election, hiding the perfidity of that laptop and all the horrible information that's on it, sex traffic miners across state lines. Oh my god. I just don't have enough time to go through this criminal record.

And yet you've got people who were not violent, who have been sitting in prison for years, and people who weren't even there that Day sentenced to twenty two years. Come on, I mean, where is justice in America? Now?

Speaker 1

It's justice, well, and certainly the truth in tim I just I think about the non violent I just put aside. You know, I know there's someone screaming going, well, but what about that one guy who beat the crap out

of a police officer. Okay, let's put that guy aside, and let's talk about the person who just randomly strolled through the Capitol building and yet was imprisoned for that, had to defend themselves in court, retain a lawyer at significant expense if they could, or forced to cop a plea because they couldn't afford a lawyer forcing him in prison for something as minor as infraction in that And then look at all of the violence and the and the and the property damage done by the ANTIFA types

and the Black Lives Matter folks that were out there absolute criminal activity, distinct observable documentable property destruction, and also people that were severely injured in some cases killed as a consequence of their violence. Do you imagine the amount of resources, the money, and effort that the FBI spent tracking down the old lady who they now have in

prison because she wandered around. I mean that they they use valuable resources and dollars going after non violent folks when the crime, when the streets are just laden with violent criminals, that even if they pick them up, they just let them out.

Speaker 7

All right, I am wow. You know, there's there's a there's a there's a problem with living long enough that you can see major changes in culture like I have. But I can see the difference in America. I can see and feel the difference in our cultural belief and the qualities of America and the promises of America. And that's all come about because everybody has been so uh so intent on creating this uh this false reality that

that you got more than I got. Therefore you're evil and I'm good, and let's pay let's tay a really good attention. I can say you're bad and we can have a conversation, right, I can say you're evil, and we no longer have anything to talk about. And that's what's happened here there. There's been a vilification that it's been almost irreversible killed any kind of dialogue that we might have had to come to some conclusions. And now we're a split America, and we have such a huge

task ahead of us. The first thing you need to do is bind up the nation's wounds. Who said that, Oh yeah, somebody else said that I stole. Bind up the nation wound and started by getting all the ja sisers out of jail. Those who really did something wrong

that day can be tried for those things separately. All you have to do is, you know, basically, dismiss those charges without prejudice, unlike Hunter's pardon, which is with prejudice, which means you can never go after this man for anything that he did or anything that he was involved in. Pay attention to that one for ten years back, ten

years back. How about we just go back five years and just give the I'll take half of that, go back five and give all the Jay six ers a pass and then pay them back for the destructions of their lives.

Speaker 1

Well, one can only help that some justice does happen along those lines. And you know what, all I can observe, Tim the Republicans have a huge, huge, huge task in front of them, and if they don't get their act together and actually accomplish something over a very short window of opportunity, we're going to be back having the same damn conversation a couple of years from that.

Speaker 2

Tim, We are.

Speaker 7

But you know what, your listeners have to be part of this. All of us have to be part of this. I mean, that's the why I got involved. I realized that I didn't get part. If I didn't take some action, things are just going to keep going the way they were. Everybody's got this capability. You can call your congressman, you can get involved in local politics, you can support the people who are fighting on the front line. Everybody can do something. And I got news for you. The politicians

are not going to say this. It's we, the people who have the responsibility within the constitution and within our form of government to make sure that we preserve the goodness of America for future generations.

Speaker 1

And we have failed.

Speaker 7

And now I tell everybody who's listening to this, you have a chance to fix it. All you got to do is get off your butt and do something. Go to J six patriotnews dot com, read about the truth, buy our books at Letters from Prison dot us. You will be joining the glog army and helping save these families and these men and support them until we get them free. There are so many things you can do that there are just a little tiny drop in the water. Is all it takes, is all of us do it.

We have a tsunami. If you sit in walk, nothing happens. And so I call you to action, America. It's time to wake up. We got it, like you said, like Brian said, We've got a huge job ahead of us, and it will take every single one of us doing our part to restore this country and to give our children what we do it. And so I call on you, America, get off your butt.

Speaker 1

Joe. Put the links up to your site on my blog page forty five Carcy dot com so my listeners can contribute. Every little bit counts, as demonstrated by my guest today, Tim Rivers, has been a real pleasure having you back on the program. And I'll encourage my listeners to get both copies of the American Gulag Chronicles. Tim. I hope we get to talk again, and I hope in our next conversation is some great news. And I appreciate all of your efforts to save America. My friend.

Happy Tuesday, great time to be tuned into the fifty five KRC Morning Show, but you can find the podcast as always at fifty five

KRC dot com. Welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show from Breitbart b R E I T B A r T dot com, Bright Bart book It political reporter Wendell Husabo. Good to have you on the program, and a happy Tuesday to you, sir. Good morning, Brian from a cold Washington. That's cold here too, so you can't look on the city of Cincinnati had twenty one degrees with any envy this morning. Although it may be colder where you are, it sucks to be in winter time period of the story.

Speaker 3

Uh.

Speaker 1

Joe Biden in his statement pardoning his son, which I think most people believe was gonna happen, but he said his son had been treated differently by the Justice Department and was singing only because he is my son, and that is wrong. Well, you know, you and I might look at that statement and say, actually, that's accurate. He was singled out and actually was singled out for soft treatment.

He was treated differently than any other human being in the United States who would be prosecuted for all the financial transactions he engaged in let's face it, prior to them being barred by the statute limitations.

Speaker 7

Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 8

I think Marco Paulo has done some good work and they've put out a spreadsheet of about one hundred and forty statutes that Hunter, you know, may have violated. And that just speaks to why Joe Biden, you know, extended this pardon to Hunter over the course of ten years because I think, you know, there was maybe some fear that some justice would be coming over the next four years.

Speaker 1

Well, let me ask you this, is it possible that justice could still becoming now? I know, Joe Biden's got more pardons up his sleeve, and you know, the whole Biden family is probably going to be given a partner for the same period of time. But what of the receipt of all this money, the fact that he was received from foreign governments. Aren't there like FIA charges that

could be brought here to other against other people. I mean, he received millions from the Chinese Communist Party, he received millions from the Russians, he received millions from the Abarissma holdings in Ukraine, I mean, and a lot of that money got distributed to a variety of different Biden family members and friends. So is this all dead and over with with Hunter Biden's broad pardon.

Speaker 8

I think Hunter Biden was just the front man for the Biden crime family. And so when you when you look at these wire transfers that Oversight Chairman James Comer has dug up, it shows a whole web of of money flowing to and from Biden family members that originated from overseas business. And so Joe Biden has not issued a pardon. James Biden, which is Joe Biden's brother, Hunter Biden's uncle, James Biden, is probably more corrupt than Hunter Biden.

He just didn't have a laptop that he abandoned at a New York repair shop.

Speaker 1

Apparent probably didn't have as bad of a drug problem either, I'm sorry.

Speaker 8

Probably probably not, although I think there was some images of him, maybe that was the other his Joe Biden's other brother, of him taking you know, a naked shot of him in the bathroom. The whole family is gross. Yeah, and I think America is going to be very happy when they get a real president back in the White House.

Speaker 1

Well, and I think, you know it's this type of thing. The the the the treatment of Hunter Biden, and again the fact that they slow walk the original investigation. You have these irs whistleblowers talking about me. They had damning information on him. They had the Hunter Biden laptop information in the form of that. That was the the FBI investigation form form was it two twenty three year or something. Anyway, it was all corroborated independently by their investigation. It shows

up on a laptop. You got fifty one people from the Obama administration stepping up saying the laptop is a bunch of Russian hoaxes just enough to get Biden through the election. We all saw it with our own eyes. We all witnessed it. We've all been listening to this nonsense. And for the past four years, Donald Trump beat the living hell out of Kamala Harris in spite of eight years of constant drum beat of evil orange man, zeemophobe, ho of foe races, misogynist, blah blah blah. You couldn't

get away from that. And yet he bludgeoned her like a baby harp seal. That's the American people knowing what's going on, isn't it.

Speaker 8

I think what this election proved is that the American people are very smart and we should trust the American people on who they believe is best to lead this and the people who have been leading this country are i have not done a good job, and the people who have helped them stay in power have totally lost credibility, such as the media. You have the media going out there saying for months that, oh, Joe Biden's not going

to part in Hunter because Joe Biden said so. Well, Joe Biden's word isn't worth a flip, and so the media has egg on their face today. And that's why you're saying the media, you know, tiptoeing around saying, oh wow, gee, Joe just lied to us, or you know, Joe's not making us look very nice. Well, Joe is not a very nice guy. He's an angry old man, and when he leaves office, I think he'll be remembered as the most corrupt president in American history.

Speaker 1

Yeah, it's an excellent and astute observation. Another stute observation I saw this morning from James Freeman speaking about this pardon. Also a question of who authored the statement that came out Joe Biden clearly didn't. He reminded them, the readers that you know, it was only ten months ago the Justice Department special counsel said Joe Biden was too forgetful to prosecute even though there was, you know, indictable information there. And more than four months after, they pulled the plug

on his presidential campaign because of his mental infirmities. And and here we go. I mean, who art have you ever concluded, my friend Wendell, who the puppet masters are? I mean, most of my listeners believe it to be the Biden, the former Obama administration and those that are still around, because Barack Obama didn't go far go very far away after he left office. So is that new's behind all this quote unquote strategy if you can even call this a strategy.

Speaker 8

I think that Joe Biden has some loyalists, and I think the chief loyalist is Joe Biden. I think Joe Biden, you know, really wants power, really wants to be in

the spotlight. I think that you know, she has a lot of influence with Joe Biden's thinking, maybe as the enforcer behind the scenes with Joe Biden's you know, top deputies, But the bottom line is they have covered up Joe Biden's mental infirmities for four years and that came to the forefront in such a way that he had to drop out of the presidential race, and they installed Kamala Harris, which you know, was a terrible candidate, but Joe Biden was also a terrible candidate.

Speaker 2

And so I guess what we get is.

Speaker 8

Another more four years of a terrific President Trump.

Speaker 1

Well, let's hope that the Republicans hurry up and get a whole lot done before the midterm elections, because you know, if history is any guy, the party in power typically loses seats and we back to square one and do nothing. Congress going back.

Speaker 8

If I could interject, if I could, oh yeah, please, I think I think one thing that happens when Republicans at powers, they don't use their voters give them the power to make changes, and they in the past have done very little. Yes, And so the hope is in the next four years that Donald Trump installs the men and women that he would like to help him change government. We need to drain the swamp, we need to fire

people in these federal bureaucracies. And without doing that, we're just going to be trying to tread water for the next four years, and then you're right, we're going to have no results because guess what, Donald Trump promised for four years that he would drain the swamp. And so if he delivers on that promise, I think Americans are going to be very happy they elected Donald Trump to do so.

Speaker 1

Well. Indeed they did now and something I'm a little disheartened by but kind of expecting is along the lines of the Republicans not you know, using the power that the voters have given them by giving them a majority. They gave We got the Exacts, kid, we got the House, got the Senate. Fine, it's time to get something done.

I saw an op ed piece just the other day on the Inflation Reduction Act, the Green New Deal, and you got all these Republican states that are giving getting a lot of green money to keep carbon out of the environment, even though it's a naturally occurring plant food, and they're going, well, WHOA, Well, maybe not so fast.

I don't know that we're gonna backpedal and completely get rid of the Inflation Reduction Act because he Hey, look I'm in Nebraska, and you know, we get a lot of money in corn subsidies, so we can burn food in our gas tank and it would really hurt our farmers if we take away that, and we're gonna make a whole lot of money on carbon capture. It's all a fiction. It's created out a whole cloth for through legislation,

has no binding a connection with reality. And yet I'm worried the Republicans are going to be defending this stuff just because, well, it's in their backyard.

Speaker 8

Under Donald Trump's leadership, there has been a political realignment occurring in this country, and that political realignment has not yet been completed. The next four years, hopefully we can

get a little bit further. But the reason why Republicans are so weak is because we have a lot of Republicans who are actually just establishment Democrats who vote with the Democrats, who want everything that the Democrats want, and who go to cocktail parties and you know, drink the same drinks and cheers each other when they get their huge paydays.

Speaker 5

And so.

Speaker 1

I think.

Speaker 8

The continuing, the continuing cleaving of these essentially establishment Democrats from Congress will make a difference over.

Speaker 1

The long haul.

Speaker 8

It's very difficult to make changes without a party who has cohesion and right now the Republican Party is the party that is the reform party, and we just have some stragglers that we need to remove from office like Collins, mrcau ski, McConnell. These people are snakes and they're holding the Republican Party.

Speaker 1

Back words that certainly resonate with my listening audience. Now before I would like you to either support my enthusiasm Wendel or burst the bubble of my enthusiasts, or perhaps somewhere in between. I love the idea of this DOE Department of Government efficiency. It's not part of government. It's like two brilliant guys sitting in a room just going through line by line the ridiculous spending in all areas of government and cutting them and giving these recommendations to Congress,

who can then act on them. Vv A Grahma swimming and of course Elon Musk. Neither of them need the money that might come with a paying position. They are brilliant at business and they've been down this road before in terms of the challenges of businesses and making a profitable entity. Do you think they can actually bring about effective change and cut the size and scope of government or am I smoking something?

Speaker 8

Were going to give them an opportunity. I don't see why they could not follow through on it unless they're just lying to us. But the good news is that Donald Trump has nominated a man named Russe Vote to be OMB director. That's the Office of Management and Budget. And the Office of Management and Budget is a significant department because it oversees in the implementation of Trump's vision across the executive branch through acting funding that different agencies request.

And so my understanding is that Vivic and Musk are going to be working with Vote on how to actually acts this waste. And Vote was in there before as acting O and B director during Trump's first administration and if you remember when Trump said okay, no more funding for Ukraine and they tried to impeach Donald Trump over at RUSS Vote was at the nucleus of that. And so I think we have a strong team going into going into the next four years. I will hopefully follow through on their promises.

Speaker 1

Well, supporting my enthusiasm to a certain degree, tempering it a little bit, which is what you're well, what's hear about all about Wenda? Who's both been great having you on Political Reporter from over at Breitbart again b R E I T B A RT dot com. You're going to enjoy what you read there. If you're not already bookmark Bookmarket. I'll look forward to another segment with the folks from Breitbart next week. Have a wonderful week, and thanks for the time you spend my listeners and I

Tomorrow a windy day as well, with a high forty two down to twenty overnight with a wintery nix and Thursday sunny sky is high at twenty seven twenty one degrees. Right now, it's time for a traffic update. Chuck Ingram from the UCL Traffic Center.

Speaker 10

You see how White Boss Center offers comprehensive obesity care and advanced sergic coal expertise called five one three, nine three, nine two two sixty three. It's nine three nine twenty two sixty three. Crews continue to work with them. Reck west found seventy four is ramp to northbound two seventy five, but the coal ringe split. I'm not seeing a huge delay to get by. King remains blocked between Writing and

Burnett due to the early morning accident at Harvey. Chuck Ingram on fifty five care has seen the talk station.

Speaker 1

It is a thirty to fifty five kerc DE talk station Tuesdays. At this time, I mean it is time for the Daniel Davis Deep dive. Retired haired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis providing thoughtful and insightful analysis about well feel the battlefields and the various battlefields we discussed every week, and today we're back to Russia, Ukraine. We'll talk a little Belarus as well as Georgia. Daniel Davis. Always a pleasure to have you on my program, my friend. Good

to see you again. Always a pleasure to be here, Brian. So we have saboteurs in Russia. We've had saboteurs really all over the place. There's been a lot of this stuff going on for quite some time in Russia. There's a growing amount of saboteurs in Europe as well. They're starting to real concerned about that.

Speaker 15

Honestly, it's it's warfare, and it takes all the different places, from the front lines of the battle, to the diplomatic calls, and to the economic in the in the various places where war material are made. So this is certainly no surprise, and it's just another ugly part of war.

Speaker 3

It is.

Speaker 1

And I try to start off normally on a more intelligent basis, the springboard to enter into our conversations. But I just was observing during this whole discussion we've had weeks in and now years. I guess about the Russia Ukraine situation. Russia typically is presented as or at least appears to have sort of a unified front. It's people are all behind Vladimir Putin, everybody's on his side. You know, They've got the troops, they've got the the the armaments,

and they're making inroads into Ukraine. Ukraine's divide to Ukraine's filled with a bunch of Russians who don't want to be a part of Ukraine. All they're trying to do is liberate. I mean, yeah, that's the fog of war. We talk about it a lot, but didn't realize that Putin himself was having problems domestically, which I can't say that I'm disappointed about. I'm no fan of Vladimir Putin, even I know he's probably gonna end up winning this war with Ukraine.

Speaker 15

Yeah, I mean, he is gonna end up winning it. I mean, the fundamentals are really irreversible. They're so far in Russia's favor, and the biggest issue is manpower. Ukraine is suffering by Ukrainian reports, Western reports up to one hundred thousand desertions.

Speaker 4

When that number is just skyrocketing, you just can't I.

Speaker 1

Fought like that I didn't have any chance to win.

Speaker 15

But I'd be careful a little bit about some of these reports coming out of Rush about dissent or whatnot, because it's comparatively small. We'll see if it develops into anything, but I honestly think it's gonna be too little, too late, and it's unclear just how widespread it actually is.

Speaker 1

Well it seems, and I'm not sure if the election of Donald Trump had an impact on this, but I hear Zelonsky now talking about maybe some sort of negotiating a peace deal. I see that maybe there was a ceasfire negotiating between Israel and Lebanon. I mean, is Trump gonna be is Trump consequential in these seemingly like baby steps toward can I I don't know if I dare use the word peace in this conversation, but some sort of settlement agreements or some resolution of these conflicts, well.

Speaker 15

Without question, there was a major, major impact on the Russia Ukraine War, or far more than anything in Israel, though I'll talk about that separately.

Speaker 4

The issue with the Ukraine side is.

Speaker 15

That buzz Valinski, vlodimers Zelensky is doing everything he can to try to avoid the Trump effect.

Speaker 4

I mean, he still wants weapons, he still wants all these things.

Speaker 15

He's trying to get people still, even in this eleventh hour, to try to give him more weapons and more ammunition so he can have a better negotiating position. But then when in this sky News interview you're talking about here a few days back, when you listen to him.

Speaker 4

He still doesn't want to give up anything.

Speaker 15

He still says, well, it's illegal for me to give up any territory for peace, but we're going to have to for you know, to get the hot phase over. But then we'll get it back later as long as we have NATO. That's the reason why Russia went to war in the first place. So that's a complete non starter. So look, Trump is coming in and he has unequivocally said he's going to end the fighting.

Speaker 4

He's not going to keep supporting it.

Speaker 15

So I think that Zelensky should probably recognize what's happening and move into a direction that makes some sense.

Speaker 4

Is the one he's going is not gonna work well.

Speaker 1

And let's go back to the point you made early on, and I read the same information. The desertion level in the Ukrainian forces is really high. And you can have all the weapons in the world laying around, but if you have somebody to use them, it's not gonna do you. Witsworth a good it's become some big ammo dump that that computin's gonna come in and take advantage of himself when he runs over the territory.

Speaker 15

Well, and you know when there was another really peculiar thing he said in an interviewed. So remember in the context here back in May, we finally passed that sixty one billion dollar deal that everybody at the time said was decisive and was going to make a difference or whatever.

Speaker 4

We didn't see it make any difference at all.

Speaker 15

But now then that Biden is trying to get those last I think eight billion dollars out the door before January twentieth, you know, to just surge the zone. As Jake Sullivan said in an interview, you had Zelensky saying, we have ten brigades and we've been trying for a year to get them outfitted, and we've only got two and a half. So then the question is where did all that money go and what did it Bob, Because you're telling me you have seven and a half brigades with no equipment.

Speaker 4

And you don't have enough people, and they're deserting, et cetera. Everywhere you look. This thing has just fallowed apart.

Speaker 1

Well, I think most of my listening audiences aware that Ukraine and not exactly the most upright country in terms of, you know, lack of corruption. It has been a long time problem with corruption. Goes back to you know, Biden withholding a billion dollars of aid because well they had a little problem there with the prosecutors in Barisima holdings. Interesting connection there. So it doesn't shock me that maybe some of the resources we've sent to that country have

gone missing. We can't even do our own accounting of our own American military here with our own resources dead.

Speaker 4

Well, there's true, Yeah, we can't. Even the Pentagon has never passed to an audience.

Speaker 15

So I don't know why we think Ukraine's going to be able to but you see on the battlefield that it has an impact, Yes it does. And unlessa we haven't talked about the situation in Israel for a while, so let's get your an update on your current position relatives. I know it looks like Lebanon's might be settling down a little bit, and there's always breaches of the ceasefire agreements, but where are we visa the Lebanon, Israel and I guess Goz as well, Yeah, there's a couple of different

factors in some positive, some not so positive. For Israel, you got to admit and can see that the militarily they have been really devastating to the entire Hezbela organization, from the top all the way down to that pager and walkie talkie attack. The decapitation of all the leadership and then the physical incursion there has had an absolute devastating effect on Hisbola and that was one of the reasons why they.

Speaker 4

Agreed to the ceasefire.

Speaker 15

Israel agreed to the ceas far because they were having real problems with casualties and their reserve forces have been on duty so long. I think we're into the fourteenth now, heading toward the fifteenth month of overall conflict, and they need a breather as well.

Speaker 4

But then you also see that Iran had.

Speaker 15

Been promising after the last Israeli attack that they would retaliating responding kind. But now then they were the first ones to get behind the ceasefire against Hezbola, so they're also licking their wounds. So bossom line is it's kind of put a lull on things and give people a chance to breathe. But the problem is none of the underlying conditions that led to war in the first place or even being addressed, and you had this whole problem

still raging in Gaza. So you know, we're not out of the woods yet, but there is at least a breather on a couple of fronts. And before we part company. Daniel Davison, I always enjoy these conversations. I wanna jump over back to Russia. I've read reports that they're han't been a problem with their currency. The ruble is not doing real well. And if the backbone of your system of government, obviously the ruble is collapsing, that causes you

real long term problems and even short term problems. Is there any truth or connection with what's going on in terms of the war situation, the relationship with the Iranians or anybody else over there, that the ruble is causing or impacting.

Speaker 1

Yeah, it has.

Speaker 4

It has spiked of late.

Speaker 15

It also spiked in the first part of the war, like really, really high, and of course that's what everybody first thought. The sanctions we're going to have their crippling effect, and then their you know, their institutions, their financial institutions took action at the government level and brought it back.

Speaker 4

Down to a stable area. Now it's seeing another.

Speaker 15

Spiked It's a little bit surprising in that it's coming, you know, a month or so after month and a half now after the Bricks meeting, which was to solidify their economic base or so. It's it's still a little early to see if this is a blip or if it's going to be an indication of something more serious, because if it keeps going in that direction, it will cause ripple effects across their entire economy. But of course they're going to do whatever they can to try and

get that back under control. We'll have to wait and see whether they succeed or whether this is just an indicator of more trouble to come.

Speaker 1

Well, our popcorn will stay out in the meantime. I'll look forward to another discussion next Tuesday, Deep Die with Daniel Davis. Find them online the end of day with Deep Dive search for the podcast. You're gonna love what he has to say.
