55KRC Wednesday Show - Jack Atherton, AFP, Congressman Massie

for that one. Americans for Prosperity donaldil joins the program at seven thirty, as he is inclined to do on Wednesdays. At seven thirty one Small step campaign. We'll learn about what that is and what it means and what we can do to help, and we'll get an update on de Wine's vetos. Americans for Prosperity working hard to override the property tax related vetos from Governor to Wine. Anyhow, go ahead and try to make some sense out of

Governor to Wine. Good luck on that one. Congressman Thomas Massey was the return of Congressman Massy eight oh five or Thomas Massey will talk primat we'll talk prep Repeal Act and Epstein Transparency Act. Yeah, he's pushing to get the Epstein files released and exactly working with Representative Rocanna California.

Not exactly a conservative amount of Guy Rocanna. Anyway, they introduced a bipartisan bill that would require the release of all the files related to Jeffrey Epstein within thirty days, and there was a procedural vote the other day on that one. It got shot down. We'll talk with Congressom Massy on why he wants those released and what he believes might be in them. A lot of swirling controversy about that, so it should be a good conversation with

Congress Massy. Sadly no Judge ended Apolitana today because he is on vacation. That's okay, we'll get it back in a week from next Wednesday. Five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two three talko with Pound five fifty on eighteen and T phones.

If you like to hear the direction of the conversation or have something you want to comment on, please feel free I talked to yesterday with Nick Gilberts and Capitol Hill reporter, and I talked a little bit about how this Biden Autopen issue might actually make its way into the court. So my suggestion was, you know, at first, you need a justiciable controversy to be in a court.

So how does one get a case in front of a court who would then get to determine whether or not Joe biden executive orders signed by Autopen were actually legitimate or they can be thrown out. Now, the swirling controversy is that Joe Biden did not personally approve specific pardons or commutations, most notably in connection with doctor Anthony

Fauci for example. Now if he had no knowledge of it, the outo him was used, then you know, obviously you can make a good argument that the pardon, the waiver, whatever you want to call it, is invalid. It doesn't meet the criteria for the presidential pardon. Understood, But how do you get that in front of a court? Well, and I suggest that Rand Paul could do it because he wants to prosecute Anthony Fauci for lying to Congress. Now, if he brings that back up, which he apparently is

going to do. Then it seems logical and reasonable that Fauci would hold up his pardon and say, I've got a peremptory pardon here. I'm free of all the responsibility liability for anything I did or did not do during my tenure as the Grand poobab all things medical. And then the retort will be no, that is in an invalid pardon, and then you present evidence to the court on why it isn't valid. There's your mechanism right there.

And Senator Paul now doubling down in his effort to hold National Institute Allergy and Infectious Diseases Chief Anthony Fauci accountable, renewing his referral of doctor Fauci to the Department of Justice that will could result in potential criminal prosecution should

the Department of Justice take up this cause. The release from the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs earlier this week Monday specifically detailed this update, which follows the revelation that Fauci was given a presidential pardon by former President Joe Biden via auto pen. There's your controversy. It's unknown if Biden actually authorized the pardon. Then if he didn't,

it maybe invalid. Now this on the heels of the New York Times revelation that he did not individually review many of the pardons issued. Question is whether he specifically authorized that. So we don't know, but that has to be found out, and it would presumably be found out during discovery or some other investigation which are currently going on behind the scenes, looking at emails, looking at discussions, looking at records times meetings were had when the executive

autopen was used, that kind of thing. So the evidentiary trail currently being accumulated. Paul's original criminal referral centered around his accusation that Fauci lied about the National Institute of Health funding gain of function research in Wuhan. Paul wrote in a letter in response to my question at the eleven one hearing, doctor Fauci testified quote the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain of funtion

research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology close quote. And a subsequent hearing and Fauci the criminal implications of ying to Congress offered him an opportunity to recant his previous statements. In response, stated that he had quote never lied before to the Congress close quote end quote did not retract

this statement. July thirteen, twenty three, House Select Committee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released and emails sent by Fauci in February of twenty regard a conference call concerning the origins of COVID nineteen, which included doctor Fauci, doctor Francis Colin, and several scientific researches. In the email, doctor Fauci acknowledges concerns that COVID nineteen may have been genetically engineered due to the fact that gain of function research was occurring

in Wuhan before the pandemic. Doctor Fauci wrote, quote his words his email, scientists in Wuhan University you are known to have been working on gain of function experiments to determine that molecular mechanisms associated with bat viruses adapting to human infection and the outbreak originated in Wuhan. Close quote Now can you reconcile that statement with his lies to Congress that they were not doing and did not do, gain of function research. This email was sent a year

before his first testimony. Paul's letter says new information has revealed that these pardons were executed via autopen with no documented confirmation that the President personally reviewed or approved each individual grant of clemency. According to reports, White House staff authorized the use of autopen to issue the clemency documents. This raises serious constitutional and legal concerns about the legitimacy

of doctor Fauci's pardon. There's your mechanism. No, if Paul moves forward, the Department of Justice under the current administration probably more likely to move forward with criminal allegations against doctor Fauci for lying to Congress. It is very likely that we will have a justicial controversy regarding the autopen. Now. I think it would only involve the decision or maybe

lack thereof, of Biden to pardon Fauci peremptorily. It wouldn't extend out to all of the other areas of pardons because we're only talking about doctor Fauci and the pardon related to doctor Fauci. Now. I don't know how you get the other auto pen uses in front of a court. There could be other mechanisms. I grant you that maybe the Department of Justice on its own goes after some of these released folks. I don't know, but at least this one would cause the whole issue to see the

light of day and a court decision. So keep your popcorn out on that. It should be rather interesting and how much could be. One of my listeners, Marines keeps going back and forth about the presidency being stolen, twenty twenty election was rigged, And we've gone back and forth

on this since the controversy first arose. That would of course been the twenty twenty election, and she kept suggesting that it will be overturned, and we've had this continuing dialogue back and forth, and you know, now she's suggesting that all these executive actions and other auto pen uses would result in them being overturned. How can you unring the bell? Has been my ongoing question of four years

of a presidency that's already coming past. I mean, if you believe the idea that the election was stolen and that was proven, let's just say it made it into the courts or was otherwise proven, that twenty twenty was stolen, Donald Trump actually won, how do you account for that? Can you unring the bell of four years of a presidency? Would you void all legislation that was passed during that? For example, Inflation Reduction Act, which was nothing but the

new Deal. Can you unring that bell? It's already in place, It's in law. We've been living with it now since what twenty twenty one. It's just I just can't see it ever happening. But insofar as individual pardons are concerned, if it doesn't meet it doesn't pass the smell test. If Joe Biden didn't actually sign or authorize the pardon, then that will be the easy fix. It's as if it didn't exist. Those people are no longer pardon, their

sentences are no longer commuted. The world can move on, and we can bring doctor Fauci in court for lying to Congress. Oh, feel free to call. I got plenty to talk about this morning, Just a hodgepodge of different things and the twenty worst jobs to have during the heat wave that we're experiencing right now. That's one topic of your conversation which will allow us to springboard over into the wonderful reality of being a Los Angeles lifeguard.

Your mind will be blown on this one, five sixteen right now, be right back after these brief words.

of demands as well known. Joking with Daniel Davis about that he drew a poker analogy where you have like a like a pair of twos in your hand, and you believe the guy across the table's got at least two face guards, and you keep betting more and more and more, endeavoring to bluff that the Ukraine. I said, no, the analogy is morekin to having a poker hand like that, except that the cards are up and both sides can

see what the other side's got. Russia has a list of demands it wants, specific things, that has never wavered or backed off from what it wants in order to bring about a settlement of that bloody conflict. Ukraine kind of living in a state of denial. The armed forces are reduced in overall numbers. They don't have people to fire the weapons anymore. They lose more and more land. They're victims and attacked by these like hundreds and hundreds

of drone strikes Russia's seemingly endless supply of weapons. Anyway, Just Tracker found a list of the twenty worst jobs to have during a heat wave. Since we're experiencing a heat wave, lucky you BEU. Number one my future son in law, Eric on the roofing repair work you need. They do great work. I'm not biased. I've been book for Fast and prolong before Eric joined their employe. But he's a good kid, knows what he's doing. He's been the roofing business since his college days. But it sucks

to be a roofer, obviously. I always ask him when he comes in the house because he stops almost every day since Fast and Pro Roofing is located in Loveland, very close to where we live, and he always drops off through dog Dahlly so we can grand puppy sit. So how was it out there today? God so roof for Number one. Construction worker, roadpaver, landscaper, grounds keeper coming. Number five farm worker long hours and direct sunlight firefighter yes,

warehouse worker in a non climate controlled environment. Delivery driver with no air conditioning. Does that exist? Garbage collector? You know, God bless the garbage collector, an opportunity for me to sing their praises. What would we do without our garbage collectors? Don't that asphalt wine painter, theme park worker in a costume,

they'd be like a mascot. Yeah, that would suck. Mover chef in an on air conditioned kitchen, window washer and a high rise building with the sunlight reflecting off the glass that apparently is hot mail carrier, amen, bike courier, roof top, HVAC installer fixing other people's ac and the blazing sun. Traffic cop, lifeguard no umbrella, and a roadkill

removal technician coming in at number twenty. The lifeguard one, though, allows me to springboard over into the bat crap and sandy going on in Los Angeles specifically these salaries, according to Open the Books watchdog group found the total compensation for one hundred and thirty four of the county's fifteen hundred lifeguards seventy point eight million dollars last year. Of that total, thirty four of the lifeguards. Lifeguards earned three

hundre thousand dollars or more. Lifeguard chief Fernando bug Hu top earner five hundred and twenty three thousand, three hundred and fifty one dollars in compensation, a significant increase from twenty twenty one. When opened the books. To the study of this finding, ninety eight lifeguards earn at least two hundred thousand dollars including benefits, base pay, time off, healthcare benefits. Overtime pay happens to be the major contributor to the

lifeguard's compensation package. Open the Books found that forty five of the one hundred and thirty four lifeguards collected between fifty and one hundred and seventy one thousand dollars in overtime payments alone. That's on top of the already overpaid salary. A top overtime earner guy named Remy Smith, received one hundred and seventy one thousand dollars in overtime, earning a total of four hundred and sixty eight thousand, five hundred

plus dollars in compensation. They also get a generous pension plan allowing them to retire after thirty years and receive more than seventy percent of their annual pay. And if you're making four hundred thousand dollars. That's a healthy pension plan, wouldn't you say? Compared to the rest of the country, Like you look at Miami Beach, for example, the average lifeguard theyre earned sixty five thousand and change annually. Highest

reported salary only ninety six thousand dollars in Miami. And of course the Los Angeles County ocean lifeguards earn more than other lifeguards. Lake and pool lifeguards employed by the cities Parking Recreation Department make a lot less, accord to open the books, the highest paid pool lifeguard sixty five thousand dollars fifty three thousand total play plus thirteen thousand in benefits. Can you imagine that? I mean, I was

a lifeguard at you know, at the club pool. I mean, I know it's just a swimming pool, but it's really not that difficult a job. They do save a lot of people. Apparently, seventy eight nine and fifty one people across the country were saved, according to the US Life Saving Association. That's across the entire country. I'm not quite sure how many times the beach lifeguards in California have to get out of their chair and stop flirting with

women to rescue someone. But I'll tell you what, I'd be willing to take that job for five hundred and thirty twenty three thousand dollars. That's just not right. Five twenty sixty five K see the talk station local stories or phone calls. Either way you want to go, be right back after these words.

it that can really make a day. One little tiny gesture like that, no skin off your back, but it's a beautiful thing to do and consider. So look for life's little miracles wherever you have to find him. Anyhow, we go over to the local stories here. You got a woman from Hamilton, Ohio, died on Monday in an afternoon crash happened to Ripley County, Indiana. Darla Tabor, sixty eight, from Hamilton, died in the Cincinni area hospital following the wreck,

according to the Indiana State Police. State Police trooper said Tabor was eastbound on I seventy four lost control of her Mercury at around two thirty pm. Car went off the road and overturned. She was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead by the Hamilton County Corner's Office. While the wreck's still an investigations, State police say a medical condition man played a role in the crash. Apparently, this woman was also not to properly restrained in the in

the vehicle, which likely contributed to the injuries. That's according to the release from the police buckle up. Missing autistic child was found dead in Dayton, leading to the rest of the child's mom and another man in connection with the case, accorded Daton Police Chief Cameron Afzol. In a statement on Monday, Chief Avsall said Ashley Johnson and Herschel creach Baum's biological mom, and a man named Michael Kendrick booked into the Montgomery County jail and facing several charges.

Records show the Johnson's facing charges of obstruction of justice and failure to report death, Kendrick facing tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse. Chiefs said these are preliminary charges. Chief said that on Saturday, officers are called in around three point thirty in the morning to his Xenia Avenue for reports of a missing child. Investigation unfolded folded later

determined that Creachbaum had been missing for weeks. Chief said at that point investigation turned into a potential homicide investigation. It was then determined that Creechbomb was not missing, but in fact had been dead for weeks. Chief Avsou said investigators were led a few blocks from Xenia Avenue to McClure and US thirty five, where the remains were located. Cause of death still under investigation. Jeyes adults in Ohio are going to need more driving training to get a

driver's license. WCPO reporting Morgan trou again doing the reporting on this one. They looked at ten driving schools in the area. Each one had a price tag more than four hundred dollars for the classes. That's not a problem for government, Wine said, the cost of the classes that you will now have to take are worth it. On Ohio, sixteen and seventeen year olds have to complete twenty four

hours in a classroom eight with a driving instructor. Must also complete fifty hours of driving practice monitored by an adult over twenty one, and now folks over eighteen are going to have to do the same thing. So under current law, eighteen year olds and older. All they have to do is simply apply for a license and don't have to go through the training requirements. But in this beginning in September, at the end of September, drivers under twenty one are now going to be required to complete

the same training that miners do. Governor Win said, we have so many young people turning eighteen never taking drivers training, and they go in and ultimately, sometimes after many failures, pass not acceptable. Now some members in the Ohio Chamber of Commerce concerned that, well, this is going to be a difficult thing for eighteen to twenty year olds. They

could be bumped out of the job market. Chamber of Commerce, as Tony Long said, one of the hardest things for the workforce is finding adequate transportations, so this adds to that. So we're trying to fight as much workforce as we can. You start to thinking about certain industries, these folks that need summer jobs. You think about restaurants, it's about hospitality, and I think this is a trickle down kind of

effect on the economy. In other words, you're putting a roadblock in the way of an eighteen to twenty year old getting into work. Well, if the eighteen to twenty year old can't drive a car, it could be a danger to society. Lord knows, got enough problems on the roads are already, So I'm not much for mandates, edicts and dick todds from government. Y'all know that, But has anybody else noted it seems to be the roadways are a hell of a lot more dangerous than they used

to be. A fun thirty five fifty five care see the talk station, stick around more to come, stack as stupid Unless I get phone calls either way you want to go, it'say, okay with me, I'll be right back.

Chuck Ingram on fifty five krs deep talk station.

of course podcasts there. Kevin Farmer. I really enjoyed talking with Kevin. He's running for SINCEI City Council. What an contagiously enthusiastic guy. Well you can't help but like him, Uh say, we want substantially what he was substantively about what he had to say. Uh, he politics transformed his life.

I think that was rather amazing. A bit of a troubled youth, but turn things around, doing really well as an independent businessman and as running as a Republican, which is unusual in the city of Cincinnati, as a black man running as a Republican. I've embraced the idea and encourage more and more folks to consider the conservative side of the political argument. Over to the local stories, craze driver in downtown Los Angeles realized it was a bad

idea taking machete to a gunfight. Local news KABC reported that officers on Sunday morning responded to Figiora Street after hearing reports of an assault with a deadly weapon. Police said, the man flashing a huge machete and people at people and chanting. Once the police showed up, man decided to charge at the police. They showed some restraint. Witnesses captured

video was showing what happened next. The man got into a black Dodge Challenger, led the police on a short chase, then started driving around the officers in a circles and actually ran into one of the patrol vehicles before coming to a stop. The guy then got out of the car, holding the machete and charges toward the police officers. Police officers did not exercise restraint as the man ran toward them. Two officers fired their weapons in self defense, bringing the

man down. LAPD Detective Megan Aguilar, speaking with local news about the incident, revealed the man was sent to the hospital and he is in critical condition. Quote. He was still armed with the machete and charged toward officers again, this time resulting in an officer involved shooting. The suspect was struck by gunfire taking the local hospital where he's in critical condition of receiving medical care. She defended the officer's common sense actions, pointing out how dangerous the suspect's

weapon was. You can only give so many warnings, and each officer has to make a decision based upon their training and their experience when they constitute using deadly force in regards to whether it's a handgun or an edged weapon. Again, this was a very large machete. The behaviors of the individual were very aggressive and violent.

This during a how are you doing that? At three o'clock in the morning domestic confrontation plead, A no contest a battery sentenced to complete a twenty nine week quote Batter's Intervention program close quote during a change of plea hearing it from earlier in the month, Alison Swan agreed to withdraw her previous not guilty plead and enter domestic violence diversion program that, if successfully completed, can result in

the dismissal the misdemeanor case. Swan, described as a thirty nine year old nurse, also ordered to pay eight hundred and seventy five bucks in costs. Judge at barred Swan from hav any contact with the forty year old victim, who Swan filed to divorce a week after the May third arrest. Defendant is also prohibited from possessing firearms, ammunition,

or controlled substances please say. Swan's wife, who's also a nurse, was quote making nachos with nacho cheese in the kitchen close qual at about three am, when Swan told her she shouldn't be eating this late and made a comment about her weight. Uh, it's going downhill from there right. An argument followed. Swan approached her wife, grabbed a handful of cheesy nachos and shoved them down the back of

the victim's leggings. She also allegedly slammed the victim's head on the floor and shoved her fingers into either side of her mouth and hooked them like a fish. That's a quote from the arrest report. When officers showed up at Port Saint Lucian resident, they spotted the two yellow smears resembling nacho cheese on a wall. An examination of the victims leggings revealed what appeared to be nacho cheese on the interior backside, consistent with her story. Oh, you

say that ruins the perfectly good nachos. Apparently ruined the marriage too.

Official said the pedestrian was a forty one year old from Bronson who was lying in a dark part of the parking lot. Why are you doing that? I had no idea. As the deputy drove through the parking lot, he didn't see the man lying on the ground and hit him. Nearby residence said homeless people often sleep near the bank at night. Resident Jeff Johnson quoted a saying it's hard to believe. It's truly hard to believe that a man was lying there, passed out and the cop

runs him over. I don't understand that. How did he do that? Well, it's because the guy's laying in the middle of a parking lot where he shouldn't be laying Who he expects somebody to be laying in the middle of a parking lot in the middle of the night, He asked.

wouldn't it. Florida Highway troopers are investigating the cause of the crash, and we go to Germany, where customs authorities recently made a discovery finding about fifteen hundred young tarantulas in a shipment of sponge cake boxes. Packets should have a Germany's clowned on airport three weeks ago from Vietnam. Weighed more than fifteen pounds, and they say had a

noticeable smell, which is what tipped off officials. According to Josh Ashland, spokesperson for the Clone Customs Office, my colleagues at the airport are regularly surprised by the contents of prohibited packages from all over the world, but the fact they found around fifteen hundred small plastic containers containing young tarantulas in this package left even the most experienced among them speechless.

about that together. Willlso to get an update on the efforts to overturn Mike DeWine's vetos related to the property tax issues in the budget eighth five couple hours from now, Congressman Thomas Massey talk about the Prime Act, the prep Repetal Act, and the Epstein Transparency Act. Of course, the floria of activity related to the efforts to release the

Epstein files. Representative Rocanna out of California, along with Congressman Massy, introduced a bipartisan bill that will require releasing all files related to Epstein within thirty days, resolutions that the files cannot be withheld, delayed, or redacted should they cause embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including any government official, public official official, or foreign dignitary. So no hiding behind that

the records must be released. Question is whether there'll be a bipartisan agreement with that effort. I know they forced the Floria vote just yesterday and releasing the Epstein files. It was voted down along party lines twenty eleven to twenty ten Republicans with the exception of one uniformly against that effort. This is a separate one, I do believe. So I don't know what you think about the Epstein files.

I'm starting to kind of believe there's probably much ado about nothing in the final analysis, which in my mind suggests you should just go ahead and release them now. Interestingly enough, timing couldn't be better. Alan Dershowitz wrote an open letter in the Wall Street Journal the Inside Scoop

on Jeffrey Epstein, subtitled I was his lawyer. I know things that court orders won't allow me to disclose, And in this he provides a coherent analysis of why he really doesn't think anything's there, but ultimately that you and I should determine whether or not there is anything. He said. I was Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer. I know the facts, some of which I can't disclose because it's privileged or subject to court imposed sealing orders. But what I can disclose

makes several important things clear. Epstein never created a quote client list close quote. The FBI interviewed alleged victims whose name who named several clients. These names have been redacted. They should be disclosed, but the courts have ordered them sealed. I know who they are. They don't include any current office holders. We don't know whether the accusations are true. The courts have also sealed negative information about some of

the accusers to protect them. Neither the Justice Department nor private defense lawyers are free to disregard court sealing orders. The media can and should petition the courts for the release of all names and information so the public can draw its own conclusions. There also has been speculation about incriminating videos taken by hidden cameras in Epstein's guest bedrooms.

There are videotapes, but they are of public areas of his Palm Beach, Florida home, Epstein reported the theft of money in a licensed firearm from a drawer in his living room. So the police have sought a video camera. I Alan Derschwitz am not aware of video cameras in guest bedrooms. Open records show an acquaintance between Epstein and mister Trump many years ago. That relationship ended when Trump reportedly banned Epstein from marl Lago, long before becoming president.

I have seen nothing that would suggest anything improper or even questionable by mister Trump. It's clear from the evidence that Epstein committed suicide. What isn't clear is whether he was assisted by jail personnel. That seems likely to me based on the evidence of allegedly broken cameras, transfer of his cellmate, and the absence of guards during relevant time periods. That's interesting, isn't it. I have absolutely no doubt that Epstein never worked for any intelligence agency. This is one

of the more interesting components I know. A Tucker Carlson has claimed that maybe he was a most sad operative, So he's trying to Drschwitz, trying to burst that bubble. If he had work for an intelligen legence agency, he would surely have told me and his other lawyers, who

would have used that information to get him a better deal. Parenthetical, he wasn't satisfied with the so called sweetheart deal he got, which required him to spend one and a half years in a local jail and register as a sex offender. Close Brent my Alan Dershwood sources in Israel have confirmed to me that he had no connection to Israeli intelligence.

That false story reportedly pedaled by Tucker Carlson probably emanated from credible allegations that Robert Maxwell, who died in nineteen ninety one, the father of Epstein's former girlfriend is Lane Maxwell, worked with the Masade. That's how the I guess dots were connected to suggest that somehow, she, Islane Maxwell, or perhaps my Epstein had worked with the Masad. It's a plausible explanation for that from Dershwood's Conspiracy stories attract reader's,

viewers and listeners. They are also fodder for political attacks. The Epstein cases generated more than a share of such theories, and there is nothing more annoying to gossipmongers than when stubborn facts or the absence of facts, gets in the way of juicy theory. Sorry to disappoint you, but there is really nothing much to see here. We are and what's already been disclosed again Alan Drshchwitzeityer attorney for Epstein

at some point now obviously plausible explanations for everything. But in the final analysis, what does he really conclude that you and I should be able to evaluate this for ourselves. We have been lied to over and over and over again. You don't have to go very far to remember the lies against Donald Trump. I mean, they are just so

blatant and obvious. Whole Russian collusion is just one of a multitude of lies that we were told by our elected officials and people behind the scenes in the deep state. We have no longer any trust in these previously trustworthy institutions, the FBI, the Department of Justice, weaponization of those departments to go after Trump and others that were aligned with

Trump's interest. I mean, this is why the conservative side of the Ledger, this is why everyone's screaming and clamoring to give us these Epstein files, Because Donald Trump and others on that side of the Ledger have been claiming for a long time some of the conspiracy theories that epps are that Dershowitz addressed in his points this morning. Many times it's on my desk referring to the so called client list. We heard that from Bonding in Wait a second, how can you say that and then come

back later and say there is no client list. Obviously we're gonna have some concerns. It's right there, so go ahead and give us the damn information. I'm not talking about videos of child porn. Nobody wants to see that. If you do want to see it, then you need some serious help. And I hope you end up in jail if you're viewing that kind of thing. But in so far as people who interactions with Epstein, I mean, this is reality, you know, lifestyles of the rich and famous.

Sometimes you're gonna get good pressed and sometimes you're gonna get bad. You'll have an opportunity to explain yourself. And if there's nothing, there's no there there, then there's no there there. You have nothing to worry about. But there are so many victims who've been alluded to and identified the young girls that Epstein abused and that others abused that has been often reported. We are aware of at

least the allegations. Where are the prosecutions for that? We're entitled to see justice on behalf of those young ladies, are we not? So let's just put a stake in the heart of this whole thing. Let's just go ahead and give us the information subject to whatever you know restrictions that are gonna be subject to, and then we can move away from this. Would you be happy with that?

So anything depicting, it depicts, or contains images of death, physical abuse, or injury of any person, all these can be withheld

under the legislation. So, uh, not a concern there. Actually they've dealt with that us something completely unrelated. You know me, no fan of EV's now. I'm a fan of EV's in a general sense. I don't want to own one. I don't believe in them. I hate edicts and mandates. They try to dangle carrot and have incentive to get you to do something you otherwise wouldn't do. I believe

in the idea of choice. If I can value the EV and weigh it's against the internal combustion engine car, and an EV comes out on top because of a amazing technology, Because I want a car that drives itself as opposed to one that I drive. Whatever the reason, then I'll pick it. Choice. Isn't it a beautiful thing? But because of the Cafe standards and California is getting a waiver from them and shoving the ridiculous mandates for electric vehicles by a certain date randomly selected, we all

end up getting pushed in that direction. But no more new administration, new sheriff in town, and of course eyes are being opened in the automobile manufacturing world. Why because internal combustion engines are still available and they're still far more popular than electric vehicles. So, ignoring California, ignoring Cafe standards, manufacturers have to give people what they want in order to maintain profitability. They're losing tons of money on electric

vehicles because no one really wants them. And another domino following, General Motors has announced plans to expand, not reduce, expand production of gas powered vehicles and SUVs in Michigan, as

well as manufacturing pickup trucks. Jim said in Stavin yesterday that it will begin production of the Cadillac Escalate as well as the Chevrolet Silverado no small ones there and the Gmcerra light duty pickup trucks at Orion Assembly as early as twenty twenty seven, in their words, to help meet continued strong customer demand Escalae producing Arlington, Texas, Silverado

and the Sierra Fort Wayne, Indiana American manufacturers. This move builds on GM's plan to invest four billion dollars in US facilities after Trump earlier this year implemented a twenty five percent tarifun imported vehicle and a twenty five percent studio of many autoparts imported into the United States. Now is Trump accomplishing something there? I keep hearing tariff's evil. But if a way to get around a tariff is to increase American manufacturing, isn't that something that is a

desired result. That's something he campaigned on and it's actually working this move. This announcement builds also on the a GM's gas powered vehicle production now Back in twenty twenty, once GM CEO Mary Barrow said that the company would exclusively offer evs by twenty twenty three, citing carbon emissions for general motors. Our most significant carbon impact comes from trial pale pipe emissions of the vehicles that we sell.

In our case, it's seventy five percent. That's why it's so important that we accelerate toward a future in which every vehicle we sell is zero missions vehicle fast Already yesterday, that's not the direction they're going. Dane Parker's chief sustainability officer, also in twenty twenty one, when I Guess green was all still in vogue, we feel this is going to

be the successful business model in the future. We know they're hurdles, we know their technology challenges, but we're confident that with the resources we have and the expertise we have, that will overcome those challenges, and this will be the business model that we'll be able to thrive in the future. And the hype is dwindling, CNBC reported now the hype

is dwindling. Companies again cheering consumer choice. Automakers from Ford Motor, General Motors, Mercedes, Benz, Volkswagen, Jaguar, Land Rover, and Aston Martin scaling back or delaying their electric vehicle plans.

Do we really need to have cars like that? So that kind of pushed the industry to start considering alternatives to the massive vehicles we used to drive. But we don't need it. Why because people are looking out for the bottom line. The price of gas lean's gotten so expensive. You're gonna want to look for a car that gets better mileage. That's a decision.

He was a multi multi millionaire worth hundreds of millions of dollars. How to get all this money? He great boief is he was blackmailing very very wealthy people. And the story again, thank you for everything you do.

of him. Whatever, I'm going to use it to extore money. No, maybe there wasn't maybe it's just people with whom he interacted that he did arrange for and provide ah services from these abused women. Now you don't have to put it all in one single list to create a list or otherwise have a list of people who were involved in those activities. I mean it's a semantical argument, really, But because of all the swirling controversy, the multitude of conspiracy theories, how did he get to become so rich?

How is it that he hopknobbed all these wealthy people and all these well connected people. What's the story on pedophile Island? The guy was a convicted pedophile, for God's sake. So there's so much fuel for the conspiracy fire out there that the only way to put it out is to just release the damned documents to the extent that don't include child porn. Eric, Yeah, that's in that bill,

the row Conna Thomas Massey resolution. It would end it and maybe we would all sit back and go, you know what, after all that discussion, Actually there is no there there. It was a twisted pervert. They hooked up with the multimillionaires. Maybe we'll get that that provided by way of explanation, I don't know. I don't know what's in the documents, but I do know this controversy doesn't

need to be out there. That the very people who fed the fuel of these conspiracy theories are now the people that are saying there isn't anything there to release other than child porn them, And I can release that. That's really troubling right there. Six forty fifty five krc

the talk station lookstation. Very Happy Wednesday to you. Big picture with Jack Atherton, subject matter a history of useful idiots that'll be after the top of the air news. I love hearing from Jack. Also, Americans for Prosperity Donovan, and Neil returns as he does every Wednesday, at seven thirty today, what is the one small Step campaign? Finally, and also I will get an update on AFP's efforts, along with others' efforts to get Dwin's vetos overridden, most notably

on the ones regarding property tax relief. Small steps but in the right direction. Why did Dwine veto them after this had been studied extensively. No one knows. And regarding the the swirling conspiracy theory is continuing a theme here. But Ron Paul had some interesting words on this. I think they're very healthy. You don't trust government, right shouldn't? You should not trust government, this all seeing, all knowing entity that lords over every aspect of our lives more

and more every single day. I reject that as a concept. I want to live my life as I see fit without someone telling me how to live it. But Ron Paul to the point mistrusting government about Epstein and more, he writes via the Ron Paul Institute, healthy suspicion is good. Ultimately, last week, the Department of Justice, he writes, announced that Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a quote client list close quote of prominent individuals who may have broken the law

at Epstein's private island. These individuals could be blackmailed by Epstein and whatever intelligence agencies were working with him. In February, in response to the questions about when Epstein client lists would be made public, Attorney General pan Bondi said that she had it on her desk and would soon release it. She now says she meant she had a file related

to Epstein, not the Epstein client list. The Justice Department also claimed it did a full investigation of the circumstances surrounded Epstein's death and can definitively say that Epstein committed suicide, even though an autopsy paid for by Epstein's brother concluded that Epstein was likely murdered. The Justice Department's announcement last week was met with outrage, much of it coming from some of the president's most prominent allies like Tucker Carlson,

Megan Kelly, and Bennie Johnson. The willingness of so many Trump allies to openly criticize the Epstein announcement and other actions like the bombing of Iran is a positive development. Advancing liberty requires that more people refuse to automatically trust government officials, whether concerning Epstein's wars, the economy, or other important matters. Widespread questioning of government presents an opportunity for

the liberty movement. Those who understand the philosophy, history, and economics of liberty can explain that is not just that some government officials lie. Instead, all governments lie, and the more important issue, the bigger the lie, the fact that the modern state is built on a series of lies, including and he provides a nice list, that the moral prohibitions against murder and theft do not apply to the government. See that's where I chime in. I'm not in favor

of the death penalty. I don't believe any government, corruptor otherwise, should be able to take a life, because quite often they are corrupt and they screw up anyway. Second point, that government regulations protect consumers, workers, and small businesses from greedy corporations. That the best way to help the poorest through government bureaucracies, not private charities. That government bureaucrats know it child's educational needs better than do the child's parents.

That the US government has justified in intervening in countries around the world because the US is an exceptional force for justice and liberty, and its crusade for global democracy

is worth the ending of many innocent lives. That the government has the moral authority to override personal health and lifestyle choices such as whether to drink raw milk for our own good, That foreign aid takes money from wealthy Americans to give to poor people in other countries, and goos, that a government created central bank can print the way to prosperity while prosperity while enabling welfare to welfare state without causing a boom bust business cycle, and continuously reducing

the average American standard of living through eroding the dollars purchasing power. Amen on that one, that gun control, mass surveillance, and airport harassment keep us safe. And finally, that the government is the source of our rights, so government can restrict or modify our rights at will. Exposing such lies is key for restoring liberty. The good news is that the more mistrust of government grows, the easier it will be to find people receptive to our message. Ron Paul, exactly,

I admit to being jaded and cynical. I felt like I have been lied to so many times by this point in my life that there is no foundation for trust. Who knows more about you, your life, your living situation, your family, your values, your morals, your ethics, your religion, your family than you.

are scholars. They're all useful idiots. A real life useful idiot helped bring the Nazis to power, a Dutch communist, Marinus Vandaluby. This beauty was unemployed, nearly blind, mentally challenged, and he burned down the parliament in Berlin, the Reichstag in nineteen thirty three. Vandaluby insisted he acted alone, but Hitler, who may have set up Vandaluby, insisted he was part

of a communist conspiracy to destroy the Weimar Republic. That claim helped Hitler get elected democratically and then turn Germany's democracy into a dictatorship. Turning from history to the attacks who're experiencing almost every day right now, Look closely at the mounth shots of the terrorists who ambushed the Ice facility. In Alvarado, Texas, shooting a police officer in the neck. Angry, resentful misfits, apparently used by people with money, by handlers

who funded their travel, their uniforms, and their weapons. We can see the month shots of these murders idiots, but we cannot see the phases of thousands of students, faculty rabble rousers on so called elite college campuses. Because these useful idiots often wear masks, the same masks that Democrats condemn when they're worn by ice agents who don't want to be identified by drug cartels and other enemies of

America because they have families. Useful idiots increasingly have become the tools of America's enemies because these idiots they don't want to work. Brian, they accuse Republicans of being killers, of destroying Medicaid because the Big Beautiful Bill requires that in order to receive free i mean paid for by taxpayers, healthcare, able bodied younger adults without dependents must work or volunteer or just receive training to work for a whole twenty

hours a week. That's what the idiots call tyranny in fairness, Democrats call maga. Republicans useful idiots. They say MAGA is being hoodwinked by Donald Trump. But folks, Trump is not lying to his supporters. He really did secure the border from drug dealers, human traffickers, illegal workers who undercut wages. Trump really is bringing manufacturing jobs back to America. Look at his high tech conference yesterday in Pennsylvania. I hope we get one of those soon. He really is bringing peace.

Useful idiots are not supporters as someone you just don't happen to like. They're supporters of someone who are some party that's how to destroy them. When men and women on assembly lines support Democrats, they're backing a party that ships their jobs overseas. When Jewish students on Ivy League campuses support Palestine from the river to the sea, they are supporting the genocide of Jews. Idiots who consider themselves smart think they'll escape punishment. That trader Eflatti's thought the

Persians would protect him. Guess what they didn't. Labor union bosses think they'll keep their jobs even after members lose theirs, although some bosses are now getting the message. Teamsters president Shwan O'Brien did not endorse Trump, but he spoke at last year's Republican Convention amid reports that truckloads of teamsters

were turning Maga. Sean O'Brien is not a useful idiot. Finally, I suspect the majority of communists, nihilists, and other useful idiots now turning America into a war zone simply do not want to work as their grandparents did. They reject capitalism, They reject families. They are squalling infants who want to be nursed all through life at the breast of big government, including Kami Mamdani, New York Democrat mayoral candidate, who is a useful idiot, even though he wants to be on top.

He wants to run big government. The armed attack on that ice facility came all the rest of us were celebrating America's independence on July fourth. Our founders, Brian were not nihilists. They were farmers, lawyers, business people, and even before July fourth, seventeen seventy six, they had a long tradition of self governments, starting with the Plymouth Charter and

New England town halls. They laid the foundation for a nation where all can be free, even useful idiots, as long as they follow the law.

we're going to have this socials. You tell you failing to appreciate that the capitalist system creates the very dollars that they're after, the dollars that they want redistributed to the poor and needy, the people who don't want to work. As you point out, I mean, absent capitalism, those dollars wouldn't even be there. Look at all the other socialist countries and the failed reality of what bring what socialism

brings about Jack, which is sloth and lethargy. Why lift a finger and engage in extra effort at work if you're not going to be compensated better than the guy next to you, from each according to the ability, to each according to his need is a recipe for economic disaster and collapse, along with all the other programs of those evil capitalist dollars of fund like medicare you know, are medicaid. It's backcrap insane. They harness greed and envy and they justify it to create a concept of what

I call legalized theft. And I've said it many times. You know, the income tax itself, it's slavery, jack. You got to pay federal income tax dollars based on your earnings that is that is created by your labor, That is taking your labored What I mean, isn't that the very definition of slaveries taking from you and not compensating you for something, just outright stealing it from you based upon a law. It's Marxism, it is.

even if it grinds slowly. Look how many Supreme Court decisions are going Trump's way, from deportations to firing federal workers and so much else we can act lawfully because we know eighty percent of the country opposes anarchy, opposes these new ultra left democrats. And Trump's real aim is to make so many Americans so successful they won't have the patience to support young, able bodied losers.

tenet of Marxism. And you're right, the better Donald Trump makes.

they lived under, people were generally against it. In the United States, the police aren't viewed as enemies to the large swath of American people. People enjoy the police department. They want safe, comfortable neighborhoods they can walk in. And that's why it doesn't happen here these these when when police do attack, I mean, they're like they're clamoring for another George Floyd. I mean, they blew that so far out of proportion, But look, it gave rise to several

years worth of street riots and activism. One guy. That's what they want. They want a poster child to go after the state. But thankfully we live in a country where there aren't that many poster children out there, and we have a built in a preciation for law enforcement and law and order generally speaking.

social media to back up and push that narrative. And you've also got foreign foes out there in the world, China's of the world that also perpetuate the division in our country and foment that idea. I mean, it's I mean, the odds aren't stacked against us from what the average guy in the street believes and embraces by way of politics or relative to the perception of the police department.

But when you've got that spotlight focused on the crazies out there, these useful idiots, it really does give them a perception or gives people the perception that they are the ones that have the majority opinion, and that's just so far from the truth.

save money, and I love saving money. And I saved the heaplow of money because I had the last several of my CT scans at Affordable Imaging Services and I got good news because on Monday I went and saw my cancer doctor. My last CT scan from Affordable Imaging Services showed my lymph notes got smaller, and that was wonderful news because I thought it was gonna have to go back in treatment. So nope, kicking it off. We're

gonna we're in maintenance mode. But CT scan. Everybody's gonna have to get a CT scan, an ultra sound and MRI and echo cartogram at some point. It's gonna cost you thousands of dollars. At a hospital imaging department. You probably pay extra for the board's certified radiologist report. None of the images here, not one is above. I think the most expensive one is like six hundred and fifty bucks. Yeah, not thousands, because the CT scan at the hospital will

cost you five grand. I paid six hundred because I needed a contrast four to fifty without a contrast and include that price includes the board. Certified radiologists report MRIs could be thirty five hundred at hospital, How about four hundred and ninety five without a contrast At Affordable Imaging Services.

six hundred million dollars going to the Browns. Yeah, anyway, real quick here, I I met you know, you heard me maybe comment when I was doing my affordable imaging services commercial the CT scan I just had most recently, I guess several weeks ago. But I've finally gotten to see my doctor. My love nodes are smaller, which is great. I do have lymphoma. I've given people updates on my cancer, and I only bring it up to raise awareness about cancer.

I truly appreciate all the prayers and the kind words people have passed along to me. But I only bring this up right now because the only thing I've changed, and I don't know if this was the reason my lymph notes got smaller because they were growing. The only thing I've changed since last October is my diet. That's it. And I'd read many articles and you can find them yourself there. There are lots and lots of published articles

and studies out there about the connection between sugar and cancer. Now, I had never seen one saying if you reduce your sugar or reduce your sugar intake, it can help with lymphoma, but it does help with solid cancers. And if you eliminate sugar for your diet, apparently cancer absolutely craves, feeds off of and loves the stuff. So I have eliminated

almost completely added sugar in my diet. Now I do get some sugars in the form of fruit, but those are harder to digest, and that's a critical point here. You want something it's more difficult to digest, not processed sugars, which I guess cancer grabs onto immediately. But if you're interested in all your way of living, not that I'm like, I could point to a lot of directions where I

don't necessarily live a healthy life. But since last October, the elimination of sugar in my diet and an elimination of a lot of the carbs has really helped me. I feel a lot better than I did. I lost twenty pounds just by doing those two things, and after a little while you don't even think about it anymore. Don't buy the stuff when you're at the grocery store. It's not in the house for you to eat and maybe you'll get a corollary benefit. So if you're dealing

with cancer, why not consider that as a path. So I've got nothing else again to point to for the reason why they got smaller. I'm not a cancer expert. I just know that I'm dealing with it and it was great news for me because I don't have to have treatment now. So just a thought, just a thought, and thanks again for all the kind words out there over the years, because this has been an issue for me now for more than five or six years, seven to twenty five.

And we've set out a challenge we're launching today that is every AFP chapter, every state in the country, we're gonna be looking to mobilize two hundred and fifty thousands actions, two hundred and fifty thousand small steps, if you will, to make a difference in the run up to next July fourth, America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday.

It's a big cary on Dasis School, Brian, but it's one that we think we're well positioned to do and we think can help reignite the American dream for so many folks from coast to Coast.

People don't pay attention to how terrible things are in other countries, so they more fully appreciate the freedoms and liberties that are well quick while quickly eroding, we still enjoy here in America. We've lost sight of something that I think is so truly and fundamentally important. It's like basically embodied in the Bill of Rights.

at generally speaking. You know, inventors, for example, they create something that's wonderful, you know, maybe a vaccine or a cure for something, or you know, somebody created the Internet at one point. How transformational was that? But I hope that at some point in an AFP and I know you're giving your goals and your mission statement, you will be focusing on this. But what drove these people to

do that? And I would point out, and you know, on the heels of Jack Avan in my conversation, that is the opportunity for wealth to make something that people want to make, something that will go out into the world, that people will buy. So you become wealthy and then you can employ other people and keep this great American dream going, I mean, and share that by employing people. And that's one of the great things about you know, capitalism.

We're going to be challenging folks to take action along the way, right because, as you know, we know that for those freedom and liberties are are fleeting, and we have so much red tape and regulation in this kind and in this state, we have so much taxation, right, government coming in taking money out of one person's pocket and trying to put it in someone else's. It makes it hard for entrepreneurs, innovators, creators to be successful, let alone hardworking blue collar americ Ohioans.

And so it is an important sort of rallying effort, and there's an opportunity for grassroots to have an outsized impact, which is what our team's doing in events and rallying folks up in telephone town hall is one of the things we've been hosting around the state this week.

the advantage over the taxpayer right now. They don't want to change that. At the legislature through the budget, was going to change some of the rules, and the governor to wine vetoed some of those changes that would have been to the benefit of the property taxpayer here in the state of Ohio is the same. That's why we're so happy to see July twenty first, the House comeback for a veto override session.

provide benefit to Democrats as well as Republicans. I mean, I suppose I was just going to think. The only thing that I would think that who would be arguing against it is maybe the teachers unions because somehow it might impact the amount of money that the schools get. But beyond that, is there any organized effort to oppose the vetos?

always at play here. Yeah, and so the Democrat minority has while they understand the property tax issue and they I think which support should support these issues these items because they've been part of those conversations, politics is at play right Beyond that, we see this play out on

the federal level. We even got Republicans, Brian who use this as an opportunity to'll try to leverage or parlay influence or power at the quite frankly at the costs of the property tax payer here in the state of Ohio.

And so, just like we see on the federal level with Lisa Mkowski and others who play games on recisions packages that should be slammed dunks for Republicans exact spending restraint, we've got Republicans in Ohio too who try to play those similar games and disrupt an opportunity to really one let Governor de Wine know he's wrong in his vetos, but two begin to deliver some relief for Ohioans when it comes to their property tax bills.

of which actually made it into the legislation. I don't. I just don't get it, Donovan, I guess I never will. But then again, Mike de Wine has remained a mystery to me for a lot of reasons.

Chuck Ingram on fifty five KRC the talk station.

his principles. You knew damn well how he was going to vote and why he was going to vote the way he votes, and he's he's a strict construction as constitutional as the foundation. It's the highest law of the Lamb, and he sticks to it. You're going to vote for a bill that's going to increase our deficit by five trillion dollars. It's crazy, I get it. But at least we have Massy to keep those discussions alive because without him,

you know, you don't have the discussion. So that will be we will definitely be talking about the Prime Act, prep Repeal Act, what are those? Plus the Epstein Transparency Act he is pushing for the release of those documents, and why not, let's just get it over with. If there's no there there, let us see the documents and draw our own conclusions, and we'll move on from this pesky topic which is feeding more and more conspiracy theories

every single day, and justify it. So fifty six to fifty five krs the talk station to stick around for Congressman Massy still be called the Twelve Day War. I suppose that's what we were nicknaming it already.

against because I'm I can mobilize people in Congress. I can build coalitions and that's what I did yesterday. I put in a bill that will force the release of the Epstein files. Yeah, this is legislation, and I used a method that I learned from the Rules Committee and some people there about how to do a discharge petition. Now, this is going to get a little bit wonky, but you know, the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson's not going to bring a bill to release the Epstein files

to the floor. If he was going to do that, he would.

way to do it in seven days. So in seven legislative days, you'all are going to find out who wants the Epstein files released and who doesn't among the four hundred and thirty five members of Congress, because they can either sign this petition to bring the bill to the floor or not sign it.

it now? Maybe it'll be a big bubble burst for all the conspiracy theorists out there, But fine, let the bubbles burst. Here's the documents we told you, and there's nothing here. Or alternatively, let us draw our own conclusions about those who interacted with Epstein. Were entitled to.

It's part of what we all voted for to drain the swamp. And so that's what my resolution will do. It'll fulfill that promise. And uh, you know, I you know, my personal opinion is he probably wasn't, you know, reporting to a cubicle at some intelligence agency, and he probably wasn't on a W two paying you know, withholding on on his salary from an intelligence agency. But I think that he was wrapped up in a collection of information

about high profile individuals. Was there blackmail involved, I don't know, but I certainly think that he was part of this. He was probably associated with Massad, the Israeli intelligence agency. And you know, we've got proof of that. There are court records back when they first declined to really prosecute him, they said in the in the court records that he was associated with intelligence collection.

Apparently the one and a half years he agreed to serve in a local jail did not resonate well with Epstein, So having information along those lines would have been presented to the court. Perhaps, I don't know, but that's the argument that Dershowitz made. But it's either true or it's not,

and we should be able to know that. What the hell do you make, Congressman Massey of Trump now make arguing that this is along the lines of Russian collusion of these documents and these these arguments and these conspiracy theories were whole cloth made up, because that flies in the face of a lot of things that he said

prior to now. It just doesn't make any sense to me, because, of course, he says that knowing full well that something like what you're doing, which is passed potentially passing a bill to get these documents out there, that could end up flying if his face flying in his face.

still going to try to hold on to. But my provision, my legislation has the force of law, and so people are saying, oh, well, they'll use this or that to keep from giving it to you, And we do grant them certain exceptions. If there's something in there that would compromise our national security, Okay, don't disclose that. But everything else, it's this resolution which brings forward legislation has the force of law.

up this morning. Now, Jesus close as you can get to the President and Maga, she talks to President every week, and so she signed onto it. That's a big step. I think. You know, all it takes is every Democrat plus four Republicans, and there's two of us already, so

I think it's going to get a vote. Here's but here's what's going to happen the leadership once once I start getting momentum on this, they want to probably deprive me of the victory, so they may introduce their own legislation or take some other action to try to pre empty what I'm doing. And by the way, it'll be seven legislative days before anybody can actually sign the discharge petition.

They can co sponsor my resolution to bring up the bill, but to force it around the speaker, it takes the seven days to legislative days to get to that point. So it might we might go into the August recess without two hundred and eighteen signatures. But that'll be a great time for people to contact their congressmen and tell them when they get back in September signed the Dagon Discharge petition to get the Epstein files out.

heat index. Overnight lows seventy two with more showers likely and continued muggy conditions and another muggy day on Friday with chance of storms and downpours. Friday's high eighty three seventy five. Right now, let's get a traffic update from.

that shields everybody from liability during a pandemic. If the President declares a pandemic, as he did in during COVID, but we've still got like multiple pandemics, they never undeclare the pandemic right, So what happens, for instance, during COVID is not only are the vaccine manufacturers not liable for harm they cause to know their users or citizens, neither

are the people who make the masks. So if you somebody made a mask that had cancer particles on it and you inhaled those the particles for six months, too bad. They're covered by the prep BacT. The prep BacT says that during a pandemic declared by the president, nobody who makes anything to deal with the pandemic can be sued even if they cause harm to people.

by his profits and making a dollar. So you need to have this these these injury laws for better or worse, and it's actually for better, and almost all of them are state laws. So here's why I call it the PREP BacT medical Malpractice martial law. It's a federal law that says none of the state laws apply. And I think it's a violation of the tenth Amendment. There's nowhere in the Constitution that lets the federal government say that all state laws dealing with liability are null and void.

Because when the founder set up this country, they intended liability issues to be at the state level, and that's where they are. So anyways, my bill would repeal the PREP Act. It's been around since two thousand, thousand and five. We got along just fine before two thousand and five, and I mean, it's just crazy the way that the PREP Pact has been employed by corporations to shield themselves from the dangers and harms they've caused individuals.

It was over prescribed, killed a lot of healthy people who would have recovered from COVID without it, that would be subject to liability.

You've been working on this one for a while. I know you're a self sufficient farmer yourself, and you raise your own cattle and you have it slaughtered and appreciate the uh, the opportunity to enjoy some of that beef thanks to my your your your your gift to my son when he was out of your place. But what's the prime act and does it have any chance of moving through?

all the meat. And so what the Prime Act does is it says that as long as you're complying with state law and local health authorities, and you're not crossing state lines, that you don't need the USDA to come in and send a full time inspector with their own office and their own bathroom in your small mom and pop facility in order to process meat for your friends and family and neighbors in the community. And I've got

some exciting news. Not only am I reintroducing the Prime Act, which would allow it to be sold in local restaurants, in local grocery stores, but I've got a pilot program for the Prime Act that's in the base text of the Farm Bill. I convinced the Chairman to last Congress to allow this, and so it actually passed through the Ag Committee and was in the BaseX of the Farm Bill. Unfortunately, the Farm Bill did not pass. They haven't brought it up. But if the Farm Bill passes, we've got a pilot

program for the Prime Act. Now, it wouldn't allow you to sell it in restaurants or grocery stores, but it would allow you to sell beef by the cut. This is the key, beef by the cut and pork by the cut from a local process or directly to consumers. Right now, you have to buy half the cow to do this.

and regulate it. That's a preposterous bastardization of the reality of the constitution. This prime act involves beef that is not sent out of state, locally processed, locally raised, locally grown, locally slaughtered, and sold within the state. So you're not even engaged in interstate commerce.

make up for the prices that are coming. It's already twenty dollars a pound at Kroger's I've seen. And what's happening, Brian, is people when you know, when you have a calf, it can be a heifer, it can be a bull, and a bull usually becomes a steer and goes into the meat part side of it, and a heifer is sometimes put into meat and sometimes saves to be a cow to raise more other cows. Well, the heifers are getting processed right now as beef, like almost all of them,

so the the inventory of cows is decreasing. So it's a self perpetuating thing. Cattle, you know, running cycles, but we're an extremely long, extremely deep cycle where people are selling their broodstock into the meat industry, which is just gonna make prices more expensive. We got to get the Primac Pass. That's why I'm introducing it again.
