55KRC Wednesday Show - Ken Blackwell, Rick Robinson

Funds this morning, kind of a weird sound coming through them. Apologies for that and Happy Wednesday, nonetheless, Brian Thomas right here in finding phone calls five one three, seven, four, nine fifty five eight two three talk Joe Dereker, executive producer, Thank you for lining up Ken Blackwell. Love Ken. He's a board member of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, among other things. Impressive resume Ken has. We're gonna get his thoughts on the Biden

Kamala Harris situation and his thoughts on picking JD. Vans and the Vice President Shohn nominee, among other topics with Ken Blackwell. That's coming up at seven oh five. Rick Robinson of his book nineteen sixty eight. This should be a good conversation primer for understanding baby boomers, comparing the Democrats nineteen sixty eight convention to the Democrats of twenty twenty four convention. Of course, coming up. Sixty eight wasn't a great day. It was not a banner day for

the Democrats back then. So anyway, parallels can be drawn and we will work through those with Rick Robinson at eight oh five. And I meantime, got to give props a guy Benson as we watch the well, the just amazing groundsfoo of support for Kamala Harris after she was anointed, after they chucked Joe Biden out the door, a little bit of coup to ta going on, and of course the money's rolling in and the groundswallow support and polling.

Oh my god, Reuter's zipsos poll Harris leads Trump by two points. Huh, and that's bound to happen. Democrats are so damn relieved that Joe Biden is no longer a drag on the ticket, considering how poorly he has been polling. This is just sort of like, oh my god, thank god he's gone. But what do they have in return? Kamala Harris is why I turned a guy Benson. I would just go ahead and read his opinion piece, which is directed at you by Republican and independent leaning friends, and

what we need to do about it. The Biden campaign was bleeding out holed by weeks of fratricital attacks from within the Democratic Party from its top appendage, the news media. Finally, the president hit the threshold for political pain, relented, announcing his withdrawal from the race, and a letter posted online shortly thereafter, he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him in the role as Democratic nominee. Many in the party were anxious about this choice too, but

the painful era of internal warring had to end. Dislodging Biden had been ugly enough. Also, trying to jettison Harris would have been a giant risk. Even a completely fresh ticket is what many elite Democrats ardently wanted, some still do. Prolonging the drama and introducing a new acrimony was disposed of as an option, so that coalesce was rapid coalescence rather was rapid doubts and concerns aside. They're with her, stuck with her, perhaps, but they're with her.

How should Republicans respond to all this? Again, this is Guy Benson. Allow me to make a few points before getting my thoughts on how to prosecute the most effective case against Harris. First, it's a bit ridiculous sing

some people pretending that Republicans are panicked about Biden's ouster and Harris's ascension. It's true that there has been something of a volcanic reaction to these unprecedented maacinations, but that's natural expect For months the Trump campaign has been running against Democrats incumbent and presumptive nominee who dominated his party's primary process. Joe Biden jump built a

stable lead over him with the general election well underway. The Democrats sustained lie about Biden's condition, replete with the indignant gas lighting about cheap fakes, and fell apart during the open minutes of the far earlier than usual presidential debate. Caught in their extremely damaging lie, Democrats decided they need to do over.

The election. Results of the primary would be discarded. In the man their voters selected to stand for another term was relentlessly hounded out of the race. They lied to protect him for the cause, and when the utility of that lie abruptly expired, they tossed him overboard against his will. For the same cause they nullified their own election. It's entirely reasonable for Republicans to react negatively to all of this. It's not a freak out or a melt down.

It's an objection yet more ruthless dirty power above all, behindhavior by the Democrats, who fancy themselves the civic minded, pro democracy party. They're frauds. Pointing that out is accurate and fair. Democratic voters likely won't care that their entire primary simply was disregarded after the fact, because they're on board for the cause. But the maneuvering should serve. Let me underscore this to further motivate

Republican voters. The other side will do anything massive turnout is required to defeat them. I also think democrats eager rejection of their own democratic process, hurling fourteen point four million ballots into the sea because they were no longer seen as helpful to the party's desired outcome undercuts the apocalyptic democracy messaging that proved rather effective with independent voters in the twenty twenty two staving off of a red wave.

There's some political upside for Republicans to make this case, but belly aching about it too strenuously for too long isn't productive. Make the argument, Let it hit with those with whom it might be effective, then move on. Biden's out Harris is in adjust. Secondly, over confidence is the enemy. Kamala Harris can win the selection. I also thought Biden could still win. For

what it's worth. Trump's strong polling position arose from widespread unhappiness with the performance of the Harris biden administration and the direction of the country, as well as pervasive doubts about to have a deteriorating eighty one year old president's ability to do the job now, let alone for another four years. The former vulnerability policy applies to Harris in spades. The latter does not. The deflation of enthusiasm

and fundraising that accompanied Biden's dissent and subsequent infighting will largely be reversed. Let me pause there and point out that's what's happening right now. The polling is leaning toward Harris and the money is flowing into her campaign. Harris will pull in powers of cash with megadowners back in the fold two. Much of this is partisan catharsis and relief after weeks of acrimony and fear, but Biden's politically

lethal softness among Democrats may no longer be the emergency that it was. Democrats are going to will themselves into a state of unity and enthusiasm. That's what's going on now. This matters in the polling. As some disaffective and demoralized party faithful and aligned Democrat demographic groups come back into the fold, a polling bounce is possible, and I note that Reuter's poll, if not probable, it matters more for fall turnout. The advantage of Democrats already held on ballot

operations have not disappeared. Neither have corresponding Republican weaknesses. Despite his base aderation and clear uptick and favorability and retrospective job approval ratings, Donald Trump is not a broadly popular figure. Harris can win, but she shouldn't. It's true that Kamala Harris is famously toxic to work for, resulting in an exceptionally high

turnover within her political operation. Columnist George will once describe her cringe worthy words solid as redolent of the student trying to offer a book report on a book she hadn't read. By political standards, She's not a talented BS or perhaps the hype machine going on into overdrive around her well with imbue Harris with a new sense of confidence, and she'll manage to take her game to another level. But her awkward behavior, meandering answers and anecdotes like this suggests she shares

critics doubts about her own abilities. I don't think it's smart for Republicans to repeat gossip about her sexual history within the realm of California politics, or to hammer on the theme that she's a DEI candidate, which now is a bad word. By the way, it's true that Biden spoke publicly about selecting a woman of colin or a woman of color, and then later made those identity

factors literal requirements for any Supreme Court nomination he might name. It's also true that Harris is an underwhelming intellectual figure, having failed the bar exam on her first try. But it's not as if Biden was some sort of brilliant leading light. Either focusing too much on such things, mocking her signature, laugh painting her as a lightweight, and noting her previous political failures won't be sufficient.

But it does happen to be true that Harris was so off putting and uncompelling as a presidential candidate that her twenty twenty roun didn't even make it to twenty twenty. A judgment was rendered by her own parties voters in her own only real statewide run against the Republican she barely won in California, the GP almost beat her in twenty ten because of her awful records, she ran away with behind the rest of the Democratic ticket once again, that approach holds the

key to defeating her nationally, this time for all the marbles. Democrats rallied Biden into twenty twenty because they became gripped by the fear that a left wing nominee like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren would lose to Trump once elected, Rather than governing as a moderate, unifying agency agent of normalcy, that he presented a voter's Biden or the people calling the shots at the White House raced leftward.

He's been lurching to the left even the last few weeks, embracing insane notion of national rent control and SCOTUS reforms in a failed effort to save as presidential candidate or campaign rather from Democratic vultures. In short, Biden governed more like Harris campaigned before her bid came to a premature and inglorious end. She was just worse and less appealing in the hard left wane than santers of Warren,

so her support collapsed in twenty nineteen. But thanks to that race, she's on record in favor of defunding the police and empowering criminals, ending private health insurance for one hundred million Americans, forcing taxpayers to fund illegal immigrants health care plan, decriminalizing illegal immigration, destroying the filibuster to pass the radical ninety three trillion dollars Green New Deal, and requiring taxpayers to fund elective abortions through

all nine months of pregnancy. She demanded a conversation about whether terrorists like the Boston Marathon bomber should have the right to vote. If there was a hardcore left wing idea in her basis bloodstream, she ingested it. She is far to Biden's left. His failed policies would have been even worse If she'd gotten her way, the administration would have been more openly hostile to Israel. And

then there's the border crisis. Harris owns a big chunk of Americans inflation plan and had in hand in all the other Bid Harris messes, including on foreign policy. But Biden's most egregious disaster has been the border, and she was his designated borders are years of deflections, lives and excuses led to ten million illegal crossings on border Harris's watch, including many violent criminals, gang members,

cartel figures, and suspected terrorists. The recent spate of violent crimes committed against American citizen biollegal immigrants, and alarming ISIS and terrorism related threats of the border lands at the doorstep of Kamala Harris. She was also among the most central figures in the conspiracy of silence cover up about Biden's national security threatening frailty and disorientation. She is one of Biden's most prominent and therefore dishonest validators on this

front. Kamala Harris will lie about anything for political purposes. She was second in command of the failed Biden Harris administration, which resembled Harris's twenty nineteen vision for the presidency more than it did Biden's twenty twenty pitch to voters, and she's much too extreme for average voters. Lies about Biden, ownership of Harris, Biden failures, and ideological extremism. Republicans should overwhelmingly focus on these themesmes

of which there are damning trails of recent video footage. Her talent deficiencies and wins inducing blatherings will speak for themselves. I' llevi you with Harris receiving hosannas from her natural political habitat as well as baseline Trump versus Harris poll taken before Biden dropped out by a generally Democrat friendly polster. It looks similar to Biden's

general standing. Perhaps the shit huge shake up at the top of the ticket will reshape the race as voters adjust to what's happened, or maybe not. In the police sites the Quinnipiac poll which showed Trump at forty five, Harris at forty one, and among independents, Trump at forty six and Harris at

thirty two. So this ground swell of fundraising and maybe a tip towards Harris direction in the polls, I think, personally is a temporary phenomenon, and I think Guy Benson's hit the nail on the head, focus on policy, and continue to do so. You're in the winning side of the argument. Five eighteen five KRC the talk station, feel free to call. First of

all, let me tell you about Zimmer Heating and air Conditioning. For more than seventy five years, Zimmer family and an operaated third generation taking care of its folks and doing a great job of it.

It's by twenty three Happy Wednesday, fifty hundred two three to found five fifty on eight and T phone. Yes, Maureen, I saw that Trump filed an FEC complained over the efforts to transfer Biden's ninety one million dollars

into Harris's campaign, A brazen money grabs what they called it. There are rules regarding the transfer of those ones. We'll see whether he's successful on that one. Something I think that is pointless and a wasted exercise and political posturing. We now have a articles of impeachment filed against President Vice President Kamala Harris, which are supposed to be filed today by Representative Andy Ogla's Republican out of

Tennessee. He is accusing Harris of breaching public trust and of willfully refusing to uphold US immigration law, and two impeachment articles. Former article on public trust accused Harris of having knowingly misled the public of the United States and Congress of the United States, principally to obfuscate the physical and cognitive well being of the

President Joe Biden. Let us see here what are the grounds for impeachment of a federal official According to the Constitution, it's treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors. I don't think negligence is a high crime, misdemeanor or treason or bribery. Political posturing and obfuscation and making up stories about Joe Biden is just politics. This, this to me, is a wasted exercise. Don't go down this road. Let's stay on track, going back to

the comments that I just read. You got issues and policy you can focus on all day long. We are on the winning side of the equation across the board. Kamala Harris is an absolute as far to the left of the Democratic Party leftist as she can possibly be, and yes, demonstrably a liar. Her record speaks for itself. We don't need to get down this impeachment road, which is not going to go anywhere considering the number of votes you

need to get an impeachment, considering the Senate is run by Democrats. Don't make a circus side show out of this exercise. Five point twenty five.

Daniel Davis Deep Diamond of comment on that because it was the comment about Kamala Harris, Joe Biden and the that unfolding situation, but as it relates potentially to foreign policy, and we'll get to that after the top of the air news. Considering that she is not going to attend the Beating Net and Yahoo speech, Wow, that is revealing right

there. Let's go to finds too. What Mark Scott, Hey, Mark, thanks for calling this morning. Happy Wednesday, you sir, Good morning, Brian. Everything that you've been talking about with her and what the Republicans need to do and specifically Donald Trump, just let her talk. Well, yeah, like they did with Biden in the debate. You know, just

let her talk. She'll she'll even hang herself even more. I mean, she's that's funny, said and he had an excuse, Mark, I was thinking, as soon as you're done making your comments, I was gonna say, just give her the rope. She'll hang herself. Something I've learned a lot over the years of being on radio. Man, just let people talk, Yeah, yeah, Yeah, she was on a sportcard I heard last night of one hundred of the senators, she was number one hundred for she

was left of Bernie Sanders. Yeah, I brought that up yesterday. That was the scorecard from twenty nineteen, and they rate the senators on political perspective or political spec rman of one hundred, she was one hundred with right right behind Bernie Sanders are in front of as you depending on how you're looking at the poll. But yeah, demonstrably left one record. I mean it's coming

out all over. Her record speaks for itself. Well, I think the Democrats are going to actually do something that's convention, and I don't think she is going to be the nominee. I think they're going to have somebody another team step forward that they nominate for somebody else that they nominate, and that way they can say, well, you know it's not us, the delegates, did their hands be clean of it, and they can insert somebody else. I'm not convinced that she's going to be the nominee. Well, she's

just Forrtant go ahead. She just she's she's not qualmost she's been playing dress up for four years as vice president. And now you know he's got this piece trying to put forward, this this uh persona that you know, I'll bring on Donald Trump. I'll debate him any time he couldn't debate an eighth grader. Well, I know, let's just we'll let it play out. But in the meantime, we have actual a background, a record. She's been in politics, she was a senator, she was going to prosecutor on

California. We got a big record to run on and her own people. It wasn't that long ago. She didn't even make it to the debate stage because within the Democrat Party when she was running for president, no one wanted her. I mean, you are you're witnessing the the the reality of hiring someone based upon their physical attributes, not the qualifications for office. And this is a product of their own doing this virtue signaling by selecting a black woman.

And you know, people are pointing out, you know, I don't know what the definition of black anymore is She's Asian and jamaicanda whatever she is meddling in. God, it's such a childish, childish perception to go through life looking at physical attributes and characteristics over oh I'm sorry, merits. Let it play out, folks, let it play out. I think we're on solid ground as long as we stick to issues. Man sentence for deadly shooting

happening in Hamilton twenty twenty three. Romelo Devonte Matthews of Hamilton sentenced to twenty to twenty five and a half years in prison after pleting guilty to involuntary manslaughter with a firearm specification and filonious assault corner. The Butler County court records go back to junea last year. Officers responded to Dayton Street near Dayton Lane Pub about quarter till three in the morning for a port of a person's shot.

They found thirty four year old Tracy Miller with a gunshot wound and unconscious. He died at ec Medical Center and Romelo Devonte Matthews is now being held accountable. That's actually a pretty good sentence, considering well it is Butler County. I guess you can look to Butler County for a little bit more harsh on justice treatment of criminals as opposed to Hamilton County vote bless of powers. Let's

see here. Oh, this is a comical headline. School fees increasing for Lakota schools as pandemic money running money runs out, How in the hell do we survive before pandemic money? Thousands of students at Lakota High School or Lakota School is going to return into classroom in a few weeks here, But with

a new school year comes higher fees. Thanks Fox nineteen reporting Butler in Butler County, Lacuta High School District recently finalized his plan for the return of instructional fees, higher breakfast and lunch prices, and an increase for pay to participate Corner to the treasurer Adam Zinc. We've been picking up fees through the esser funds for the last four years. We initially planned on doing that for three

years, but we stretched it for a fourth. As the funding the federal pandemic relief money, which recently came to an end, districts across Ohio got nearly six and a half billion dollars. LA Cota got over twenty million of that. Treasuresting said the money has allowed them to pick up the cost of school supplies issuing identical kids for all students over the past few years. Depending on gray level, parents will be asked to foot the bill with a return

of the instructional fees ranging anywhere from forty five to seventy nine dollars. Additionally, fees to participate in extracurricular activity sports marching, band, color guard also increasing, going from one hundred and fifty to two hundred and twenty five bucks for students in junior high two hundred to three hundred for high schoolers, with a cap for families, school breakfast now dollars seventy five instead of a dollar

fifty lunches going to three dollars across the board. Zing said there is help available for families facing financial hardship with free and reduced meals and school fee waivers five thirty six and fifty five k C detok station. Huh the return of the fees. I guess we're able to get along with the fees previously anyhow. Plumb tight plumbing, it's always plumbing done right. Call them seven forty

Do you ever do the ding dong ditch when you're a kid, Joe, you go to the neighbor's door and you ring the doorbone and you run away. You don't know what that is. That's a yes. I will admit that I, as a very young child, did that, So

did everybody else in the neighborhood. Good Harrison, mame, we got a main man arrested after you allegedly shot at a group of teenagers playing ding Dong ditch, injuring one of them. Deputies responded to Harrison about one am Saturday, numerous reports of gunshots and screaming. They got there to find blood on the roadway as a teen walk into the hospital with a gunshot wound. Forty say a group of team playing a prank ding Dong ditch at several houses in

the area. At the fourth house, the homeowner allegedly opened fire with a nine millimeter handgun, firing about fourteen rounds, hitting one of the teams in the leg. The team went to the hospital non life threatening injuries. Thankfully, according to Cumberland County Sheriff Kevin Joyce said, in my mind, the kids should not have been doing what they were doing. However, the individual bringing a firearm and shooting at kids while they're fleeing is obviously a problem as

well. I would say that's an understatement. Aerien. The biggest douche of the years. Douche thirty year old Vincent Martin, all the galaxies, There's no bigger douche than you. He's facing multiple charges, including assault and reckless conduct with a firearm. Joyce said, people are considering the fact that they can defend the residents, their family, et cetera, and maybe taking it a little over the limit in this particular case. Why is he filled with

understatement? He's were living in a world where it just seems like everybody is on edge. True, which is why I'm making so much fun of this idiot lighting up Frescos. Thank you, Joe Strecker. Ding Dong ditch is not illegal. Sheriff says, there's still a lesson to be learned. The innocent prank needs to be put on a shelf somewhere and never visited again.

Thirty year old Martin's baille said it five thousand dollars. A judge order not to use or purchase firearms or ammunition and not have any contact with the teens involved in the incident. Deadly force it You don't use deadly force unless you're faced with it, or, as the case may be, if your state has the Castle doctrine, you're entitled to use deadly force as someone breaks into your home because it's a presumption that they're there to do you harm, grievous

bodily harm, or otherwise kill you. That justifies it. Someone is running away, you have ended the threat. It no longer exists. You cannot use deadly force. God, let's get that through our collective minds, folks. Let's see what Mike's got this morning. Mike, thanks for indulging me while I went on that tear to have you on the show. Brian about the school fees in Lakota School District, Yeah, a couple of things about that. You mentioned that it's also going to help. They had to cut

funding for marching band. They got to pay their fees again again, Lakota East and West. What's the Hawaii on a marching band trip last year? Really? Yeah? It was like thirty five hundred bucks a kid. Well,

it's just record pointed. I'm thinking that's either going to come at the cost of the family whose child is going, or, as Joe pointed out, because I think he's been down this road before, they do fundraisers to fund the cost of the trip, right, But I mean that was on top of their regular fees, which sounds like the pandemic money paid for their regular fee. Well, you can certainly make that argument when the pandemic money was paying for their fees. Yeah, right, no, no argument that

money is fungible right right now. The thing about the three lunches and stuff, the free lunches have always been there. That kind a friend that works in the school is just the biggest problem of religion. Parents are they're embarrassed to fill out this form because they feel it like a stigma, even though nobody's gonna nobody it except for you and the office that is. Yes, I understand that. I understand that, and that's only been a problem for

a long time. You know, the stigma associated with well, it used to be a stigma associated with receiving welfare benefices. There was a time in the world where you know, people had a they would never take charity under any circumstances. There was a question of pride and I think that's gone the

way of the Dodo quite honestly. But that's just me anyhow. But pandemic money comes in and the fees that otherwise would have been paid by the families are waived, and then you have to bring them back, and then probably people are protesting the fact that there are any fees whatsoever.

John Pittman, thirty four years old, according to authorities, attacked his seventy year old mother with a chainsaw. Woman called police after fleeing to a relatives home more than three miles away. Not clear how she made it that far in her condition. Neighbors said what happened will stick

with them. Officers located Pittman during the encounter. Two officers sustained mild to moderate injuries, according to the police. Details of those injuries or how they were sustained not disclosed public information. Offer rese Harper speak with News it's a very unfortunate incident when you look at it, when you have anybody that's injured in that manner or seriously cut, that sounds like somebody with a mental issue for one to do harm to your mom. You know that's your mom.

Well true. She was taken to the hospital and critical conditioners. Officers were also taken to the hospital for treatment. Pittman arrested, booked for aggravated assault by cutting and resisting arress, bond three hundred thousand dollars.

Yeah, jin and jeuice of course, rolling downtown, smoking indoughs, sipping on gin and juice. He put the weed ahead of the gin and jews. So I mean, obviously weed is his priority. I think it always has been. Isn't he on record like having smoked?

It doesn't even normally smoke like eighty five joints or something a day. I also read at one point I think he quits smoking weed. Either way, Snoop Dogg equals weed in the hearts and minds of the vast majority of people. Do you think he's qualified to carry the Olympic torch in the opening ceremony?

Sheila Man, thirty one years old, now standing one count each of strangulation in the first degree, first degree criminal abuse involving a child under twelve, first degree unlawful imprisonment, first degree wanton endangerment, third degree terroristic threatening, and failure to appear.

This accord of the Madison Kind of Detention Center records. Please seed abuse in Madison County occurred during the several months spanning January first through early March of this year. Police Chief Rodney Richardson, speaking with local news, the child, who was under twelve years of age, had discussed to disclosed rather to investigators than ms. Mann had locked her inside a dog kennel type cage for two to three days at a time that would only allow her to exit that

cage just to use the bathroom. Defendant allegedly used her hands to briefly strangle her daughter around the neck, the girl told police during a forensic bat examination. Girl also said Man threatened to slit her throat. After the alleged strangulation incident, The girl said she had trouble breathing in her throat hurt for several days. Man also accused of throwing the girl face down unto the kitchen floor

and sitting on the child's back ledge. Abuse would continue for several minutes until the mother tried the girl, tied the girl's hands together behind her back with twine. Twine also used to keep the dog cage locked on occasion, according to the girl. The alleged victim said she attempted to escape on several occasions, but was never able to do so. Accused mother appears intent on telling

her story. During an interview with WKYT, Man denied the allegations against her, said the claim comes from a misunderstanding about the situation where she herself was actually the victim. Defendant said the incident occur. Incidents occurred in near Right, Georgetown. According to Man speaking with the TV, that's not that, No, that's not true. That's not true at all. I have never done anything like that. I've always had a job with caretaking. Man's daughter

now being cared for by foster parents. Man booked on Monday, being held on a fifty thousand dollars bond. We'll just let that one sit there, Joe, not going to repeat your comments in my ear five sixty five KR. See the talk station Blennymore coming up at the top of the hour.

Ken's gonna join the program in one hour, seven o five. He's a member of the Public Interest Legal Foundation. He will offer his thoughts on the Biden Kamala Harris situation and his thoughts on picking JD. Vance Rick Robinson with the book nineteen sixty eight, a Primer for Understanding baby Boomers. He's joining us at eight oh five and sadly saw an article yesterday in the Wall Street Journal about it's the end of the baby Boomers. They're starting to all

retire. U baby boom went to sixty four, and that means the whole bulk of the baby boomers now reached retirement age. And the sad reality of the article, it's not necessarily important relative just to the the idea that they're all retiring, is that a huge, huge percentage of baby boomers don't have anything saved by way of retirement, so they're going to be relying exclusively on

Social Security. If you're looking into your future and finding yourself in that situation, I would change trajectory and start putting away something for your retirement because we all know sois Security is going to run out of money at some point, and it was never intended to provide one hundred percent of your retirement needs. Check the amount of money that you're scheduled to receive and recognize that you're probably not even going to get that five three seven, eight hundred and eight two

three Taco Time, five fifty on at and t phones. Oh, and I just have to note that is it? Is it common hella Kamala? I don't want to be accused of of like being a racist or something like that, because apparently pronouncing her name incorrectly is part of a hate campaign being waged by the right wing, so say at MSNBC's Morning Joe co host Mika

Brazinski. She claims that the conservative folks out there in the world have initiated what she described as, in her words, a hate campaign against the presumptive presidential nominee. Hmm, I've heard from inside Republican circles and right wing media that they hate campaign against Kamala Harris. Is the gun You'll notice they purposely pronounce her name wrong. They say, you know, I don't know how to pronounce her name. Honestly, I don't have any hatreds or Kamala Harris.

Is it Kamala or Kamala? I don't know, Joe, do you know? No, thank you, You've made me feel better anyway. I'm sorry. Apologies to miss Harris. Let's call it that, and then we can move on assume me, thank you, Okay. Attacks DEI attacks on Harris are the equivalent of the N word. Representative Maxwell Frost, Democrat out of Florida, said that yesterday CNN's newsroom, some say Kamal Harris, whatever name is, miss Harris a DEI hire, which in his words, is

offensive. Frost said, he's going to continue to use all these racist dog whizzles throughout the campaign. We're gonna see it from Trump, We're gonna see it from JD. Van, So we're gonna hear see it from a lot of their surrogates. In fact, here we go to our local state senator. Just yesterday, one of the surrogates was saying, if we don't win, we're gonna have a civil war to get our agenda through a civil war.

So this is ouranization. This is a right wing campaign that's going to be racist, misogynistic against the vice president, and we're going to stand on the issues. Good, you go ahead and stand on the issues, and you go ahead and throw these ridiculous assertions against us, much in the same way you can't say Donald Trump's name without using yes, racist and misogynist.

Now, it's everybody. If you are a Donald Trump supporter, mainly because you believe in his policies like, for example, a secure border, there's one that makes you a racist and misogynist. Whenever you hear DEI, I want you to think about the N word. I want you to think about racial slurs. That's what they actually mean, he said. And here's the fun part. FROs said, I have a good relationship with the congressman.

I think sometimes though he does use rhetoric as that is racist. Ready for this, and whether people know it's racist or not, I'm here to tell them that it's racist, and I hope they won't use that rhetoric anymore. So your intent doesn't matter. That's obviously what he's saying. Moving over MSNBC. It's always MSNBC, isn't it. They come up with the strangest conclusions.

Joy Reid, who's famous for her crazy accusations and assertions. Quote, given just the stratospheric entrance of Vice President Kamala Harris whatever name is into the presidential campaign and she has now secured enough delegates to become the nominee, you

are going to look real crazy. Being on the other side of that line, particularly as a person of color, but really, as anyone who claims to have any connection to the culture, You're gonna look really weird and real lonely on that side, she said, You're gonna look crazy being on that side. Given the cultural phenomenon of Vice President Kamala Debbie A, she's about to make history. She's about to become the first woman president. The door

needs to close behind amber Rose, and she looked crazy over there. Referring to amber Rose. I mean, I don't even know who amber Rose is. He to look her up. Amber Rose does not subscribe to the moniker black. She is a person of color. She refers to herself as biracial, which term would apply to Kamala Harris, and is Kamala Harris black? I'm confused on this. This is not Brian Thomas being racist. This is me confused by the rhetoric. Isn't she Asian in Jamaican? Maybe that qualifies

as black. I don't know. I know out in the world, you can be a white person to behead of the NAACP by walking around and spending your whole life saying that you're black, even though objectively you don't look like a person of color. That confused me. That was coming back a few years. But joy Read goes on, she's racially ambiguous, referring again back to Amber Rose. She's racially ambiguous. I don't want to say that she's

black, because she said she's not. I don't want to say she's to say this black woman, this woman who is of whatever race that she has claimed. She said she's not black. But the RNC brought somebody whose career is based on black culture. Her whole culture came from black culture, even though she said she's not a black person herself. Well, you know what the word I'm reading every time joy Read out does the word black, I'm referring to of course Democrats. You heard it from Joe Biden's mouth. If

you don't vote Democrat, you ain't black. So it is not a color thing. This is what I'm reading here. This is the only conclusion I can draw. You have a woman who claims be biracial is in fact part black, but she doesn't identify or say that she is black out loud. She chooses to identify herself by a more specific terminology. Barack Obama could have very well have done that correct having a white mother and a black father, he chose to take on black as his identity. Joy Reid doesn't go down

that road, obviously not choosing to go with the racial identity politics. But you see, Joy Reid won't acknowledge that she is basically concluding because Joy reed, because amber Rose rather has gone Republican, that she no longer can be black? Is this not just absolutely batcrap insane? And for her part, amber Rose replied, Hey, Joy Reid, I've never said I wasn't black. I said I identify as by Rachel. I'm not going to invalid my quotes. A little sick should be there. I'm not going to invoid my

white father to make you feel more comfortable. Stop being a race baiter. Your president does enough race bating after all. Ooh, going back to my point about Joe Biden saying what he said out loud, I'm sorry, just bring all this up to illustrate the just absolute abhorrent nature of this allocating us into these different columns. You're black, air go, you must be Democrat? Really? Humh, who's the racist? Six fifteen fifty five KCD talk

station. And of course, if you are black, by all objective standards, and you say you're a Republican or that you're not a democrat. Of course you are no longer in the bucket that has black people in it. You're over in. I guess I don't know what they call you. Then you just persona on grata answer the question for me.

If you need work, fast and pro is not going to tell you, I'll give you a quote. If your roof's firing, they'll come down and say, hey, your roofs fine for the time being, and you have maybe X number of years left plan Accordingly, that's a peace of mind knowing how long

it's going to be. You can take care of the financing up front, maybe put a little money away to do the roof replacement when it ultimately is needed. But if you do need work, here in the best possible hands. First off, honesty, they give you an honest assessment. Second of all, they have just they just do wonderful work, just craftsman level work. That's why I always recommend checking their website out and look at some of

the projects they've done, custom metal work, slate and adobe. They do commercial roofs, residential rous, any kind of roof you know, like metal roofs. But if you need a new shingled roof, they're going to upgrade you automatically to the certaintyed, certified pro fifty year shingle that comes included fifty years.

They're calling on the Democratic National Convention to create a process that allows for public participation in the nomination process, not just a nomination by party delegates. Ooh, you'd think that black lives matter be all in. Why because

Kamala Harris identifies as black, not so says black lives matter? They wanted to say in the matter. Maybe because the situation and our foreign relations. I don't know, that's an important thing. Talked about that yesterday with Daniel Davis on The Deep Dive. You can get the podcast if you have KC dot Comics allows me to pivot over to Walter Russell Meade on that point.

This whole campaign's got to be about issues. Yesterday's journally wrote when Prime Minister Benjamin Yahuo addressed to the Joint System of Congress today, Kamala Harris not going to be there despite having become the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. This is a

great this is a great illustration of decision making folks. She decided that an earlier commitment to the Zeta Phi Beta Sororities Convention in Indianapolis mattered more than a speech by the leader of one of America's closest allies at a time of conflict and crisis in a region involving vital US interests. Harris expected to meet in net Yahoo during his visit to Washington, but the snub is unmistakable, fueling rumors of a rift between the Harris and Biden approaches to the Middle East.

On March fourth, NBC News report of the National Security Council officials toned down their words a draft of remarks from Miss Harris that she was going to give on the humanitarian situation in Gaza this week on the Journal reported Wall Street Journal report that other Fishers could appear. Observers focus on any signs of Biden Harris tension as the election approaches. This scrutiny comes in an awkward moment, so

ugly truths are beginning to make themselves felt in Washington. The dangers of American involvement in a wider war across the Middle East is dangerously high. Iran has never been closer to a nuclear weapon than it is today, and American officials are worrying that Vladimir Putin, as part of his anti Western campaign, might help Iran across the nuclear finish line faster than US or Israeli officials thought even

possible. Despite repeated warnings, Iran hasn't rained in its hoothy proteges in Yemen, and Washington's patients is wearing thin. The closing months of the Biden administration could see US forces engage in direct attacks on Iranian naval vessels or against Iran itself. People in government, former officials, and informed deservers tell me that the pressure inside the US government for military strikes against Iran is building. Further

hoofy provocations are likely to prompt dramatic lea stronger response team. Biden's approach the Middle East hasn't satisfied many Republican critics, but it represents a significant evolution from former President Obama's approach. In the Obama years, the goal of American Middle East policy was to achieve regional stability through daytunt with Iran. Iran optimists hope the nuclear deal would be the first of a series of agreements that would gradually

ease hostilities between Washington and Tehran and reduce conflict across the region. Team Biden no longer sees this as viable. Iran's rejection of President Biden's offer to re enter the nuclear deal was sobering. Iran's expansion of support for proxies and tarifts across the region hammered the message home. Iran wants a hostile relationship with both the US and Israel. However, often Charlie Brown takes a run at the football. Lucy's going to snatch it away. This, I think is reflective

of a demonstrative of a weak US foreign policy. The realization led t Biden to re examine its attitude towards both Saudi Arabia and Israel. If Iran is a reconcile albough, the only route to stability the Middle East involves a partnership between Israel and conservative Arab states like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. I love this point he makes, embarrassing as it may be for Biden Knights to follow a policy akin to Donald Trump's Abraham Accords, the US needed to

work with regional players who agreed with us on the basics. Promoting strategic reconciliation between Israel and Saudi Arabia and enshrining that cooperation and a security treaty between Washington and Riod became the principal goal of Biden era Middle East policy aka Donald Trump's policy extended dave forma tarattack on Israel. Team Biden believed that the goal was

within reach. Since then, the administration's objective in the region has been to insulate progress on a new security architecture from the political fallout of the guys of war. While many pro Israel observers wish that mister Biden's support for arm battled ally had gone further, the effort to safeguard the Saudi negotiation has been largely successful. Key Arab states believed that their own economic security interest depend on strategic

alignment with both Israel and the US. As one senior Saudi observed to an American interlocateur. Ever, even a coalition of all the other countries in the world couldn't offer Saudis the economic, technological and security benefits they can gain through deep cooperation with the United States. That's good news. The chief political obstacles

of this realignment are not the Middle East. They are in America, a loose coalition of pro Palestinian activists, Muslim Brotherhood supporters, Iron sympathizers, Arab democracy advocates, proponents of Obama style Iran First Middle East policy, and isolationists opposed the US Saudi security treaty that would anchor the alignment. Since treaties require two thirds majority in Cenate for ratification, minority opposition must be taken seriously without

the president's strong support. No US Saudi treaty would pass president strong support.

That's a suggestion you might want to think forward to Kamala Harris being president can be higher disrupting the US, Arab, Israeli and Tante is Iran's objective and also important to Russia and China. All the revisionist powers loth The idea of the US led Alliance system stabilizing the Middle East, a long term partner of the Gulf Arab and their financial muscle with America and Israeli capitalism and technology would

tilt the global balance of power against the revisionists. This is where the Vice President's fealty to Zeta phive Beta matters, rightly or wrongly. Key Arab leaders may interpret her snub of mister Mettanahu at Netnyahu is evidence that Harris sympathizes with the opponents of a Saudi treaty and that her Middle East policy would differ significantly

from mister Biden's. That in turn would make it harder for Biden negotiators to get it yes, either about Gaza ceasefire or in the final details of the Saudi deal. It may also encourage the Iradians, sensing weakness and division within the administration, to turn up heat on mister Biden, increasing the chance of his shooting war in the Gulf. What a vice presidents do doesn't normally matter, But Kamala Harris is playing in the big leagues now. The whole world

is watching, and she needs to get it right. And I don't think snubbing that in Yahoo was the right decision to make. Again, she's dissing the leader of one of our greatest Middle East allies for a sorority party. Six twenty eight fifty five kre Se detalk station, chimney care, fireplace and stove.

I was told it was like a comma in a sentence. You know, Kamamala kamala right, not kamala not

kamala right. That's the difference that they're talking. Okay, right now, I'll tell you what. Now, every time I read it, my eyes looking at it, I pronounce it rome. See. But I agree with that. All right, let me finish this. Let me finish this now when I've learned to pronounce it when i'm speaking it, but everything I read my mind pronounce it Rome. And it's also the same way with the one down in Georgia. Her name is Funny Willis instead of Fanny. The same

way when I read it I read fantasy. Yeah, you know, I've learned to accept it. It's funny. It seems odd because I don't know another name like that. You know, I'm with you all day long. I have mispronounced so many names over my lifetime, and either on or off radio. If I had a dollar for every time, I could retire. And I never mean anything by it. Quite often, James, I will joke about it. I'm reading some foreign name from some foreign land. It's

got nine thousand consonants in one vowel. I'm like, I'm giving it my best shot, and somewhere in that foreign land they're mispronouncing Brian Thomas. I don't take it personally, how could I. That's what the joke is about, someone saying mispronouncing your name is racist. You're a man of color, You're a black man. I've met you, Mississippi. James. You don't mean anything racist by your mispronunciation of her name, and neither do I until

today. You're the one that confirmed for me it is indeed Kamala, not Kamala. But I've read it both ways, I've said it both ways, and I never intended anything by it whatsoever. It has nothing to do with racism, and that's the point I was trying to drive home earlier on And the fact that some people are saying it is racist is to me an absolute ridiculous suggestion.

So thoughts on Kamal Harris and Joe Biden and that one too. If you have Curiously dot com over the phones, I go, let's get CJ's call. CJ. Thanks

for calling this morning. Good to hear from you today. Oh, thank you. You know a couple of things about Kamela. My family's been in California since the eighteen thirties, in fact, in the northern part. I always say him so California. And my great grandmother was born on not very farm when it was still working very far. Wow. This woman, she did not even identify Hardley as being black until she ran for attorney general. She identified as being Indian and now and then once you be kat and started

running for attorney general, she wanted to get that identification out there. But in rules of radicals, the first rule of a radical is you make your opponent live by their own rules. So she wants to make us live by the rules of race and how we deal with race. She has a record of racism that goes tremendously deep. You taught you know, Tolci Gabbert in twenty nineteen took a B two to her campaign when she talked about all the

people that she put in jail who were black for smoking marijuana. Yeah. Well, she also put a mom in jail due to truancy because her daughter had sickle celeninia and had to miss a lot of school. And even though it was a documented case with sickle celeninia, I believe she had a five little four plan to excuse those absences. She went ahead with the prosecution and

put this mom in jail for her daughter having sickle seleninia. That needs to be shown all the time, because if she wants to make us live by this rule of racism, make her own that. Yeah, I think that's fine. Absolutely. I mean, her record speaks for itself, and it is not a record that I personally didn't necessarily be proud of. And of course her left wing policies and everything, and this is part of it. This whole this racial baiting that goes on incessantly. You also point out the

fluidity the whole idea. It's like gender fluidity, isn't it CJ. At any given moment in time, depending on your circumstances, you can declare that you were one thing or another. I mean, isn't she really if I can coin a term Jamasian? Right, she's Asian and Jamaican. And this is where my part of my confusion comes to. Barack Obama was a head, had a mom who was white and a father was black, and he

always professed to he is a black man. I don't care necessarily how you label yourself, but at least that Amber Rose woman is being honest when she says she's biracial, because she's given credit to having one white parent and one black parent. That seems to be definitionally accurate anyway. But then again, I'm not somebody who wants to put people in buckets based upon their racial identity. And it is identity racism. It's not actual sort of objective decision making

that goes on. I don't know this absolutely. And my children are biracial, and let me tell you something. I tell them they're biracial. You're biracial. You're not necessarily this or that. You are you. And that is something that we as Americans have to understand, is that we are more of a biracial nation today than we are of any other race. And we

need to accept that and own it. And I let my kids know, like, hey, Barack Obaba. I may not agree with him politically, but you know what, it can show you that you can be successful as a biracial individual in this country. Yes you can. You can be successful regardless of your race, creed, racial identity, gender identity. Even you can be successful. Look at all the Biden administration appointees. You can be

across the entire spectrum, the entire spectrum. Appreciate it. I mean, I just you know, I guess I'm more concerned or wondering about the content of your character. Gee, can I go back to Martin Luther King Junior? Content of character, which would include your political affiliation, your ideology, how you treat other people. Maybe your religion might factor into that, but you know what, we don't live in a theocracy, so that shouldn't matter

to anybody. The religion someone practices. They can't in the United States of America, shove it down your throat. So what ultimately matters when considering a politician where they stand on the issues, period, end of story. What they're going to do, what's the direction of the country, that's the important

thing. What are they going to be voting on? Doesn't matter what they look like, damn it, because you know what, some of the biggest socialists out there are a bunch of white people, and I don't want anything to do with them. There you go, isn't that the truth? All these you know, I guess wearing their heart on their sleeve. Woke a white suburban college educated women out there in the world. Anyhow, appreciate your comments, CJ. I certainly do, just on a bit of a tear

this morning, because this kind of stuff just really irks me. And you know, that's what's dominating the news this morning. I'm staring at all this important stuff going on in the world, and I bring this up because I find it so utterly preposterous, absolutely preposterous, and it is a major distraction, but major distraction away from the stuff that should really matter to everybody. Going back to the contented character the issues, A read guy Benson's analysis,

don't ever think it. Republicans, The case against Kamala Harris is straightforward. His point is none of us should be dwelling on this kind of stuff. We should be focusing on the issues. And her record speaks for itself.

Defunding the police, empowering criminals, ending private health insurance, forcing taxpayers to fund illegal immigrant healthcare plans, decriminalizing illegal immigration, destroying the Senate filibuster to pass the gazillion dollar Green New Deal, requiring taxpayers to fund elective abortion through the nine to all nine months of pregnancy, Whether terrorists like the Boston Marathon bombers should have a right to vote, vote, It's all hardcore, harder

core left than Biden was ever manipulated into getting into. These are her positions on her own. This isn't Barack Obama whispering her ear telling her she needs to go far left on this. This preceded her occupying the vice presidential residents. This is when she was out in California, this is when she was a senator. It's her record. Let's run against it.

And it's closer we get to campaign or the election, rather, the more likely it is folks running for office are going to show up. U S Secret Service

Director Kimberly Chetter resigned finally yesterday see Bob Menendez, Joe Finally. I think we're there. Was probably Vegas odds on who was going to step down first. Chidler Menendez anyway. Quote, I take full responsibility for the security lapse in a lot of recent events. It is with a heavy heart that I have made the difficult decision to step down as your director. Well, it

shouldn't have been difficult. If history's any guide, any human being who's been in that position, he's had a breakdown like that, quits right away out of embarrassment, out of respect for the office, in an effort to rehabilitate the office that you embarrassed, which is hilarious. Get a load of this. The Secret Service is hiring Wall Street journalists. How will the Secret Service rebuild in the wake of this catastrophic failure. The agency might argue that it's

striving to bulk up, adding personnel needed to thwart assassins. On Monday, however, the Secret Service advertised to openings. The position can be found in the US government's employment portal. If you're looking for a job, it's USA Jobs Joe. Those hired, we've paid one hundred and thirty nine three hundred ninety five dollars annually. Why is it for concounter sniping, evasive driving?

Nope, lead public affairs specialist. Here's what they do. Public affairs specialists monitor print and broadcast media for both positive and negative news coverage that translate the basic communication intent of the Secret Service leadership into methods and techniques that could be applied in standard and non standard public affairs programs. You got that, Joe,

I think you're qualified. Well, there you go, prioritizing the obviously the role in the role of public service over the actual work that the Secret Service should be doing, which is protecting lives. Salaries for agents who do protect lives and put their own lives on the line. You're ready. You start at sixty three three and eighty one bucks, which is left than less than half of what public affairs specialists get paid. The journal point gasoline on

the fire. Although the Secret Service opened itself up to that criticism because they just posted the two jobs available there and in other Secret Service related news, they have advised Donald Trump to stop holding or hold fewer outdoor rallies. That's the answer to the problem and the breakdown of the Secret Service. Wellday, what just don't hold any rallies? Donald Trump's get some huge crowds. Partly there was one hundred thousand people at a May event in Wildwood, New Jersey,

which is amazing considering it's New Jersey. Fifty thousand to fifty five thousand at the July second rallying pick in South Carolina, obviously a huge turnout in the one which almost resulted in Donald Trump losing his life. And of course, indoor events a lot safer because you got to go through a limited number of doorways where you can have magnetometers and checking people out. That all makes sense, and I understand it, but I guess this is an acknowledgment.

The Secret Service is incapable of providing sufficient coverage for large crowds of people outdoors, and obviously that translates over to the higher offices as well. Six point fifty five fifty five KRCY Talk station cannot wait till after the top of the our News the return of Ken Blackwell, a voice of common sense and reason. We're gonna get his thoughts on Biden, Kamala Harris and his thoughts about JD Vance being picked for the vice presidential choice for Donald Trump. That's Ken

Blackwell, after the top of the UR News. I sure if you can stick around. There we go again, another news update. We're gonna get all the facts. An ear full of information at the top of the hour, I'm gonna break it down fast fifty five krs the talk station this report is Soto six fifty five KRC Talk Station. A very happy Wednesday to you

made extra special. You know him. He was the mayor of Cincinnati, he was a treasurer for the State of Ohio, and he was Secretary of State for the State of Ohio. He's got more hats on his head than you can check a stick at, including a board member of the Public Interest Legal Foundation. Welcome back to the fifty five KRSE Morning Show. Ken Blackwell, it is a distinct pleasure to have you on the program. Brian is always good to be with you, sir. Remind my listeners about the Public

Interest Legal Foundation what it is you do there real quick. Well, we just fight for election intiquity, and we've won a lot of cases that deal with voted voting roles. We have, in fact, you know, we've made it fight to make it easy to vote, hard to cheat. Love hearing that and further the points we're talking about today. Let's start with Kamala Harris. It looks like a little bit of cup to Taz going on there. President Biden fought to keep his spot. He of course got the votes

in the primaries. There's fourteen point four million Democrats out there that went for Joe Biden. They don't get what they wanted. This is and for the party that attacks Donald Trump as being the anti democratic guy and someone who's a threat to the very foundation of our being. It looks as if though the Democrats doing it again, because it happened before. To Bernie Sanders ask him

about it, they do whatever the hell they want. What's your reaction to this, Well, I've been up close and personally I know that the cabal that runs the DNC our masters at green lighting. Okay, they will in fact use projection, They will project on us what they are actually doing. And so you know, I think there's a little bit more transparency than they want it. But they accomplished their go to sort of kick Joe to the curb and appoint the queen. Well, I love the way you phrase that.

A little bit more transparent than they wanted anyhow, but she is Do you believe that she was? Like if you were in the Democrats side of the camp, and I know that's tough for you to do, to put yourself in that position. But is she their best bet? I know they're stuck with her. We get the whole female, black woman of color, whatever arguments, and they can't get rid of her because it's going to make them look like what they accuse the Republicans of being. But she is as

far left as anybody in the Democrat A Party. Well, yeah she is. I mean she is the most radical presidential candidate that we've seen in my lifetime. The other thing that is hard for them to escape is that she is tied at the hip to all of the bad Biden Harris policies that American voters are going to come out and push against, whether it's our open border, whether it's voters without borders, whether it's prices or groceries and gas.

I mean, she just can't untangle herself from those bad, unpopular policies. But they will, in fact try to again change the mix of voters who turn out. They're going to lean in. They're going to try to plug up the holes among minorities and the young people that Biden was experiencing. But our job is to make sure that folks understand that she was the borders are and therefore she owns, the failed policies, the open borders, the influx

of not only bad drugs, but bad people. And that is not saying that every every alien who came across the border illegally as a innately bad person. But I can tell you what, there have been a lot of bad people who have crossed the border. Yes, were in fact doing ready to break havoc in our American constitutional republic without question. And you can't point to a better political argument for the Republican side because the Republicans obviously are campaigning on

a secure border. Donald Trump at least has four years of demonstrating the border can be far more secure than it has been for the past three and a half. It's Blue Democrat cities constituents that are pulling their hair out over the living the reality of this influx. They are running out of resources. The things that they seek from government, these Blue Democrat voters are being taken away from them because there's only a finite amount of dollars and it's all going to

service the immigrant community. That's a losing argument for them. You're absolutely right, right, Let me just put on my political analysts had Yeah, I go into Fox and your show and others to give a political perspective. I talk to a lot of the leading posters in the country and whether it's McLaughlin, Resmusin and others. What we do know and we can't change this reality is that President Trump has a high floor and a low and a low siling.

What she has is a high floor and her ceiling because of all of the apparatus she has on her side, is not quite as low as as the US as President Trump's. So, you know, I tried to concient folks on our side to say this is not going to be an eighty four Reagan light blowout and where we went out, this is going to be a hand to hand political battle in five to seventh states at the precinct level,

and so we can't lose. You know, we had a successful convention, we have great candidates, but we're still in a very big fight where where it really turns on uh turnout and make ensure that we have eyeballs in every precinct across the country, but particularly in the five to seven states and the key nineteen counties where this election can be won or lost within very tight margins. So advice to my Republican listeners. Obviously is get out and vote and

spread the word that everyone needs to get out and vote. But in terms of arguing over the politics of this, over the benefits of Trump, over Harris, we need to focus on the issues. We need not focus on the giggling and the word sounds that she comes up with. That's got some milogy and it's demonstras of who she is as a human being in her ability to actually speak on the issues on the fly, but more fundamentally her record. We can run on her record. Oh absolutely, Again, I will

repeat she is tied to the hip of the filling economic policies. She is, in fact the green new deal of the mountains of red tape. Uh. The regulations that they want to put on on enterprise and and and stifled growth. Uh. And when you stifle growth and job creation of meaningful, well paying jobs. You heard the working middle class in America. Uh. And I would just say uh to anybody who is uh embraced as America as an opportunity society. Uh. Vice President Harris Uh, the running mate uh,

the co palate of the Biden mess. It's not your friend. Amen to that? And can you imagine a Harris sort of Pritzker type tick and what that would mean to America. Lord Almighty Ken Blackwell, I used to live in Chicago, Man, I know about the Pritzker family. Uh well, let me know. Yeah, let me let me visit. Pivot up real quickly here to jd vance. Now he was selected as the vice presidential running for Trump under different circumstances. Now the circumstances changed and it's president or

Harris running for president. Does that change the dynamic in the race? Is it? Does that make Levance a lesser of choices? Or could there be somebody better? Or we still we're still on solid ground. I think we're I think we're still on solid, solid solid ground. Uh. You know, one, he can prosecute the case against her and the Biden Harris uh policy mess. Uh as well as anybody uh in in in the country. Uh. He in fact, is a particularly effective candidate uh in uh Michigan,

Wisconsin. Uh And Uh, I think he's very effective out in Arizona. But you know, Pennsylvania. We he's going to be the guy making making the case. It's going to be fascinating. I Mean, the the one pick up that they might have is that I just think he would have blown hairs out of the water and a vice presidential debate. They probably will, They probably will improve their their their competitor. But I still think he's He's bright, he's energetic, he's articulate. He comes with a life experience

that a lot of folks can relate to. Amen that and Ken Blackwell, very briefly, I know you're out of time before we part company. Today, the Democrats keep bringing up on a federal election level the issue of abortion, and everybody's outspoken on it. But I keep screaming at the top of my lungs. The Supreme Court has said this is not within the confines of the Constitution. It is extra constitutional. It's Tenth Amendment stuff. It belongs

to the states. Now, shouldn't federal level candidates keep throwing that back in anybody's face who talks about a federal ban, because the Supreme Court would find that unconstitutional based on this the ruling over turning Roe v. Wade. Yeah, the way I've placed it in the in arguments, if that one, we have to understand that now it's the time to embrace the hearts at the

precinct, the local level, the community level, with the family. At the state level, we in fact have to understand that we spent over fifty years fighting to make sure that we got a Supreme Court that could give us a decision like the one that we got. So now let's not wring our hands and waste our time that's engaged. And what happens, Brian, is that making this case at the state and county level plays into our strategy of

winning this at the precinc and county and state level. There you go at the state level, Ken Blackwell, God bless you, surf to spending time my listeners. Keep up the great work, my friend. I'll look forward to him at back on the fifty five Carosee Morning Show as soon as possible, Sir, God bless you, brother and you seven seventeen at five kre ce DE talk station.

It would be worth watching the opening ceremoniy yeh, yes, yes it is. Thank you to Ken Blackwell for joining the program and giving us some sound political advice. It's the issues. It's the issues. It's the issues. It's the

economy stupid. Are you better off now than you were four years ago? The answer, according to CNN is no. Got. A new CNN pull indicated that nearly forty This is an insane figure. Forty percent of the United States adults are constantly or frequently worried that their family's income will not cover their expenses, described as a notable rise from December twenty one, when only twenty

eight percent of adults had the same concerns. That will be the inflation problem we're all facing right now, they said a copa financial pressures, Americans are reducing their spending on entertainment, food, gas, increasingly relying on credit cards, and of course with the credit cards comes the insanity of the interest rate

you're paying with that also up precipitously. Among sixty nine percent Center respondents reporting cutting back on extras and entertainment, sixty eight percent have altered their grocery purchases to afford essentials, thirty seven percent of Americans have resorted to taking on credit card debt to cover necessities, and thirty five percent of taken extra work or

a second job. Are those numbers good for Democrats? I know it's always easy to blame any given administration for the problems of the country facing on an economic level. Quite often over the years, at least, it's been my experience that you really can't point to any single or thing any given administration has done. But in this particular case, you can. Coming off the pandemic. The Democrats poured gasoline on the inflationary fire by pumping in additional trillions of

dollars into the economy. Running the printing press is inflationary. It's simple, absolute economic fact. This is not debatable. It's fact. We've got a million illustrations over the world's history of countries who have tried doing that running the printing press and have run themselves out of existence. But one of the problems you face before you run yourself out of existence is inflation. You know,

like one hundred thousand percent inflation. You know, the Zimbabwean currency with billion dollar notes to buy a loaf of bread, and even that won't cut it. You know, it seems like it's an impossibility. Oh my god. The United States fiat currency, it's the most reliable. Blah blah blah. Yeah it may be, but it's the best looking ugly person in the group. Just because we're perceived is better and more reliable doesn't mean we're on a

trajectory that's sustainable. We clearly are not. But in the meantime, we're living the inflationary realities brought to you. In large part, I would argue by the Biden administrations pouring again gasoline on an inflationary fire. Use that as an argument against folks who might want to continue down the same path a lah Kamala Harris seven twenty five fifty five kres of the talk station. Affordable imaging can be affordable speaking of the economy and things that are expensive. Imaging at

a hospital is by definition expensive. I think you can say objectively, five thousand dollars for any procedure at a hospital seems outrageous, doesn't it. But when you're talking about a CT scan, I mean seriously five grand. No, it's four hundred and fifty dollars. A CT scan with a contrast is six hundred dollars. That's if you go to Affordable Imaging Services MRIs with the

contrast are six hundred and forty five. You may pay thirty five hundred dollars or even more at a hospital, and you know what, You may get more than one bill. You get the imaging bill, You get a separate bill for the Board Certified radiologist report. You may get a separate bill for something else. One price, low includes all, every includes everything. In other words, no ups, no extras, Like Earl Shib used to say so. Six hundred dollars gets you the imaging with the with the contrast and

the board certified radiologist report for a CT scan. I have listeners who let me know they have saved literally thousands of dollars out of their own pockets. So call them up. You have a choice when it comes to your medical care.

here fifty five ker ce De talk station. Very happy Wednesday too. You got some local stories to dive on INTI, but if you prefer, feel free to call. Got some topic it's on your mind? Maybe the US Secret Service director finally bowing out it. See it's hilarious. Bob Menendez beat her to the punch. Anyway, I didn't drag it out much longer. The well, the end was obviously in everyone's headlights, so drug it out a little bit too long, reducing her credibility to zero. Over to the

local stories. One thousands of students at Lakota High School. Well, they're facing higher fees this year. Apparently the COVID money's run out. And Butler kind of code the local school district recently finalized as plan for the return of instructional fees, higher breakfast than lunch prices, and an increase for pay to participate things like band and sports cord to their treasurer quota by Fox nineteen. We've been picking up the fees through ESSER funds, which are the federal pandemic

relief money that came to an end. Anyway, them passing along. Those are passing along the benefit of these ser funds for the last four years, he said. We initially planned doing that three years, but stretched it into the fourth year. That was because they got a sizable chunk of cash from these SER funds. Districts got six point five billion dollars across the Ohio, which, going back to my comment earlier about throwing cash at a problem lit

inflationary reality. Anyway, La Coda got just over twenty million dollars treasures zincs to the money had allowed them to pick up the cost of all school supplies issuing identical kids for all students over the past few years, depending on grade level. Parents now going to be asked to foot the bill with return of instructional fees ranging anywhere between forty five and seventy nine dollars. Also, fees to participate in extracurricular activities sports marching, band, color guard, et cetera.

Those are increasing, going from one fifty to two hundred and twenty five dollars for students in junior high and from two hundred to three hundred dollars for high schoolers with cap for families zinc again talking to Fox nineteen's part of this, part of that has become kind of the demand for the level of performance we have within all our programs. The cost of supplemental contracts have gone up with inflation. Oh there's that pesky word again. That's made us take a

harder look at how much is going into this. So here you go. As far as the school breakfast is concerned, now a bucks seventy five instead of the previous dollar fifty, lunches going up to three dollars across the board. They didn't report on what it used to be. Treasurers think said there is help available for families facing financial hardship with free and reduced meals and school

fee waivers, but without the pandemic money to cushion the budget. These fee increases are the best solutions so the taxpayers are not forced to foot the bill. So say at ZINC, we spend every day diligently trying to manage every penny that we have coming into the district to try to maximize the dollars. We have more information on the school website. If you're a Lakota parent and you want more information, head on over there. Got Springfield Police Department announcing

yesterday that a seven year old boy was killed on July sixteenth. He had been shot by another child inside the residences. Seven year old boy died from his injuries, according to police. Corner identified the boy as Justice Jenkins. Police said the child who fired the gun was playing with what was thought to be an unloaded firearm. Hear the disgust in my voice for my firearm owner

friends out there. After consulting with the Hamiltuty Prosecutors, always, police said was determined that no laws had been broken during the shooting, which police said as accidental accidents can be prevented. Jenkins shot in Springfield Township. According to police. The Hamilton County Corner's Office is also called the scene. They said someone in a home in Arvin Avenue in Springfield Township called nine one one about

two to eighteen pm Tuesday. Jenkins pronounced dead at the scene of the shooting, despite life saving efforts by paramedics and officers of Springfield Township. Police reported, that's a heartbreaker. Man sentenced for a deadly shooting and habit in Hamilton

He's from Hamilton, sentenced to twenty to twenty five and a half years in prison after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter with a firearms specification as well as Filonius saw the corner the Butler County court records. I think twenty to twenty five years is because

it's in Butler County, not Hamilton County. June twenty three, officers refined to Dayton Street near Dayton Wayne Pub about quarter to three in the morning for report of a person shot.

Invitation to call in, chime in on anything you'd like five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three talk with Pound five fifty on eight and t funds and you're invited to listen to lunch and be trying to spread the word on that because we're two weeks away and we're gonna bet Jim and Jackson the River, and so I'm hopefully

I got my fingers crossed that I know Christopher Smithman is going to show up, because he confirmed that during this Smither event on Monday. I was kind of hoping as we approach the election, more and more candidates would show up. I was thinking Adam Kaylor might be there because he's been to listening to Lunch a whole bunch. Someone get the word out to Hamlin. They prosecuted

a list of powers. She's been listening to lunch is quite a few times, and I think it would be important for her to get out there, get her name out there. Of Course, anybody else that wants to show up is invited, but those are just two that came to mind. And of course Jim Neil. Jim Neil demonstrably better than what we're dealing with right now. He's got a record to run on too, and a really solid and good man. If you've never met Jim Neil, I strongly encourage you

to just walk up to him and shake hands. He is easily approachable and a genuinely quality human being, and someone who I think has a really good firm grasp for the job and how it's supposed to be done. And somebody who's probably not going to get their firearms stolen from them. Just saying anyway, you know, it seems like that, you know, everybody's embracing Kamala Harris. You look at the numbers, the amount of money that float in

in a moment's time, It is truly amazing. I got to give her credit what one hundred million dollars over the course of two days, and you think, oh my god, we're up against tough odds. Elon Musk now saying it was widely, that wide report about him donating forty five million dollars every month between now and the election of the Republicans. He said, that's wrong. No, I did not commit to do that. I'm not quite

sure where that backpedaling comes from, but apparently it was misreported. So that looks concerning by way of contrast to the money that Kamala Harris has brought in. But I kind of look at it maybe in a slightly different way. It looks like wonderful, wild enthusiasm and oh my god, thank god, we've got Kamala Harris running now, it's awesome. What maybe when you're only considering compared to Joe Biden, who everyone is now painfully aware of is cognitively

impaired. So gee, I can understand that they are free of the burden of Joe Biden, but they got the burden of Kamala Harris. But they haven't yet fully appreciated that. And that's why I keep talking this morning about we need to run on issues, issues, issues issues. Her record is so far left and so horrific for the country if these policies continue. Going back to my comment about inflation, he's got a program and plan to ease

everybody suffering across the board. Ah, free education, free stipend every month, free this healthcare for every single man, woman, and child. Even know what these policies would cost if they actually were implemented. I mean, the CBO has crunched the numbers on these. The figures are mind boggling. They were already at this moment in time on an unsustainable trajectory. We know that the pumping of trillions of dollars into the economy had an inflationary impact that

everyone is reeling with. Going back to the CNN analysis on how people can't even pay their bills, and she's going to double down on that or at least continue down that path. But their enthusiasm because they got rid of Biden is what we're experiencing right now. And you see the posts on Facebook. Oh my god, I'm with her and all this. Listen, you're only with her because she's not Joe Biden, but you're with her now and her policies, and you're going to have to run on them and defend them and

justify them. Couple of polls now out, Oh my god, Reuter's zipso's poll. Harris leads Trump by two points. Yeah, that's true, but look behind the veneer of that one single poll that has her out front. Harris leads Trump forty four to forty two in the national poll three percent margin of error. Yet the sampling four hundred and twenty six Democrats, three hundred and seventy six Republicans and three hundred and forty one independence m a little bit

lopsided. So you can take that one with a grain of salt and then, oh my god, don't pivot over to the other pole that we got out. Quinnipiac poll published Monday finds it forty five percent of registered voters back Trump over the broad field. Now that's if you include Kennedy and the Green candidate and the and the Libertarian candidate. That's forty five over Harris's forty one. Although she leads Biden or she leads Trump by a point just with the

head to head race. But when you look down further behind the veneer of that, look at the independence poll, Trump has a considerable lead over Harris in that field of independence of respondence. In the eighteen to thirty four demographic, forty seven go with Trump, twenty nine for Harris, also beating Harris by fifteen points in the thirty five to forty nine age group. Harris has a ten point lead with voters aged aged fifty five or fifty to sixty four,

and among those sixty five and older. So I find that figure hard to believe as well. And maybe that's because the lie that Donald Trump wants to end or get rid of socis Security has come home to roost. I don't know, but any politician who denies that Social Security or any of the other enttitement programs need to be well dealt with because they are running out of

money. You've got to do something. At some point. We elect our officials to manage affairs properly, not just for the moment in time, but for the future as well. And every single administration since I've been alive has let down the American people in so far as at least social Security has concerned. You know, there's poll after poll after poll out there. Economically speaking,

there are so many seniors. It was a poll I read even yesterday about baby boomers who have all reached now retirement age are getting very close to it, and what a huge percentage of them have nothing to run on, nothing to live on. Except social security. Now you get a poll that comes out and says seniors are going to lean Harris. Maybe that's because they see the well the problem facing them and oh my god, evil Orange man is going to take my social security away from me. I don't think he

said that. He's one of the politicians that says he's not going to touch the third rail of politics. Well, what's going to be done about it? Don what's going to be done about it? Kamala some forty six. Joe, I take your call, and that's not just Chrekker, that's Joe on the phones. Your phone calls are welcome. We got a couple other callers lined up as well.

Can you hear me over? Yes, I

can continue prayers for the Thomas family. Thank you, brother. Maybe you can help me out with this as usual, I don't understand why certain people even get a modicum of popularity. The Obamas, both of them, Paris and Biden will throw them in. They're, you know, saying something idiotic once in a while, God knows I do it. But when you do things that bear your soul and your lack of intellectual capacity, those are the things I look for when I vote. You know, I guess you can

sum it up in a thing called integrity. And I didn't like Joe Biden way back in the day with the Clarence Thomas things, so we would never see eyed eye when he was healthy. I didn't like him. Just your thoughts agreed, Well, isn't it the culture personality. I mean, we elevate people, we elect people, and then you know, like if you're part of the left wing cabal, then the media elevates you to this lofty status of you know, wonderful and you know, bulletproof and I know pun

intended there, but it's a culture personality. They're willing to overlook all the flaws. They will not illustrate or highlight the points that you were looking for, integrity, content of character, in favor of just continuing to elevate someone who is in their political camp. I mean, you know, we all elevated Ronald Reagan to a level of culture personality, but we had good reason

to do it because he was successful at what he did. He turned the country around from the train wreck that Carter had left us, demonstrated that character and that quality that's you know, he's the tef line guy. He was a wonderful public speaker, he was inspirational, He had all the qualities of a politician and a leader that we're looking for. You don't find that in a lot of these candidates, in these individuals, even on the right wing side of the Ledger. Of course, we've got those as well. But

once they've been elevated, it's that name recognition. We're all willing to blindly just continue to support them and continue to vote them back into office. Why well, because they got the party nomination, because well, they're that guy or that gal that has the name recognition. They're the ones that people have been talking about for so long. Oh I recognize that name here. Let me vote for that person. Culture personality, that's all I can come up

with. Doesn't stop you or me from doing a thoughtful, critical analysis, and that's extraordinarily important. It's one of the things they're not teaching children in school these days, is that critical thinking skill that so many of my listeners thankfully have. We see who's next, Joe. That's Jay. Thanks for calling this morning and for holding there. Welcome to the program. Hey, thanks Brian. Hey, I'm scared that we may have been at a tipping

point. That happened about four years ago when Trump lost to Biden and everybody said, can never happen. Biden's a full he's a bumbling idiot, he's can't possibly win this election, and then he won. And I know there was a lot of I believe that there was a lot of indiscretion on how

they counted the votes in the election process and everything else. But when fifty percent of the country doesn't pay income tax, I think the generation after generation has always been concerned that there will come a day in this country where there would be enough people that would be bought by the Democrat Party that they would no longer be thinking about what's the policy or the direction required, who's the

best candidate based on policy direction and what they're going to do for this country. Instead it gets into what does it mean to me in my pocketbook? What do you like Rushland boggers to say? What you're going to give me? It doesn't and we used to think that it was, you know, just social welfare programs and things like that, which are certainly don't help.

But you know, I've talked to people that were farmers in Arkansas who were Hillary Clinton supporters, deep red state, but because of the Farm Bill, they're willing to vote Democrat. PPP handouts that came to business owners that didn't need it, on and on and on you go down the line. I think we may be to the point where Kamala can go into the to go

into the basement, just like Joe did, just like Hillary did. Remember the debates no longer matter where they're becoming less and less about a candidate getting up and talking about where they're going to go. They've learned it's best just to shut up and disappear. And that started with Hillary, that started before Joe. And they will still get elected. So we can talk about she's

a bumbling idiot and nobody likes her. That can all be true, and she could still get elected because we've hit the tipping point in this country where people are more concerned about getting a check in the mailbox or the abortion. It's either legalized stuff from fellow American citizens that I can take what you made to put it into my pocket. For the abortion issue, it's one of

those two. And I think we may have reached a point where we're over that fifty percent threshold, which means we have a completely different American and reality on our hands. Well, I put aside real quick, I'm out of time. I put aside the abortion issue because more than fifty percent of Americans believe in some form of abortion, so ignoring that social issue and recognizing it is a state issue now not a federal issue. It is because we are

shortsighted, and we are self interested. We are immediately we are an instant gratification society, and we apparently collectively no longer care about the future of the country, which is why I keep going back to the reckless spending. Not only as an inflation and it has a real time effect on us now, but it is going to destroy the country in the long run. Most people are just like, well, screw it. By the time the destrength of

country's destroyed from our overspending. Because I have my hand in the cookie jar, I'm going to be dead. So give me mine now. The hell with my children, grandchildren, et cetera. Appreciate the call. Jay gotta run some fifty seven we're gonna hear from Rick Robinson his book nineteen sixty eight Primer for Understanding Baby Boomers. That's next.

News Link. I could go on, including the North Kentucky Tribune. Welcome to the fifty five Carssee Morning Show to talk about his book nineteen sixty eight premer for Understanding Baby Boomers. Rick Robinson, It's great to have you on the fifty five Parsee Morning Show this morning. Hey Brian, great, great to hear hear from you again. I'm here in the beautiful confines of New Mexico in the Albuquerque Airport. Maybe the first interview you've ever done the company

by MW Zach. There we go. It is a first. I hope you are not having to deal with crowdstrikes, lasting issues for delayed flights, Rick and safe travels. To you, it is amazing, Brian, But it is still happening. Oh no, happening today. Oh no. Well we'll have I Heart media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe on Thursday to talk about that rack. Nineteen sixty eight a really, really pivotal year for United States.

I mean I immediately gravitate to gravitate to the nineteen sixty eight convention, of course, because it was a major league disaster for the Democrats, police and riot gears, skulls getting crack protesters everywhere. But your book is I guess

described as a deep dive into the whole entire year. You do it month by month, correct, do it month by month, but it is pivotal to take a look at what's going on right now, Brian, and understand the similarities that are going on between what you just mentioned the Democratic Convention in nineteen sixty eight in Chicago as it will be again and what's happening now, because you're looking at a convention where side the convention the people were chanting,

as you said, Hebburg getting batched in Chicago, and people were standing outside shouting the whole world's watching. I'm wondering this year whether or not the whole world will be watching, or the whole world will be searching Netflix to see what's on besides the convention. You know, that's a really valid point because one of the points I wrote down on my notes that been talking to talk with you. We live in a completely different universe than nineteen sixty eight.

For if for no other reason, then we've got the Internet. And I say that because organizing people in nineteen sixty eight required you know, mailing and flyers and the normal kind of pre Internet outreach that you think of making telephone

call. So if you remember the free speech movement, the Students for Democrat Society, or Vietnam anti Vietnam groups of ones for not, if you want your people to show up at a convention, you're going to have to reach out to them, let them know where to be, when to be. But you have a do it manually. Now you can do a blast text to the entire world, and you can communicate with the entire world instantaneously.

It's going to be interesting to see if that actually happens in Chicago this time, because there are still lingering issues very similar to nineteen sixty eight that can could galvanize people to come to the convention, not the least of which you know. Linda Johnson got out of the presidential race in nineteen sixty eight for numerous reasons, however, the most important one being his party not liking the way he was handling the Vietnam War. But you have a very similar situation

happening right here. As the Democratic Party is split on how President Biden has handled Gaza. You have a very big wing of the Democratic Party that is pro Palestinian. You have, you know, I don't know if it's split down the middle, but there is certainly a pro Israel pulp pro Palestine divide in the Democratic Party. Will that lead to any student protest outside? Hard

to tell you, Well, it sounds likely that it will. But again taking the wind out of the protesters' sales, Lyndon Johnson, I choose not to accept the nomination of the party. It turned into an open convention, so there was a legitimate, at least on its face, a legitimate reason to get out there and make an argument for your side of the case.

If you're anti Vietnam, you're going to be in favor of an anti Vietnam candidate on the other side of the legend, and there may have been a pro Vietnam candidate, and they obviously there's something to buy a debate and fight about. Kamala Harris has been anointed and if things continue down this path, and the screams and cries of even among folks like Black Lives Matter, who are very upset with the process, but you're going in with Kamala Harris as

the nominee. The delegates have already said we're in favor of her. She's got enough. She's got twenty nine hundred of them as of yesterday, which is enough to secure the nomination. So she's effectively taken the wind out of the open convention sales, leading really to nothing to protest about. Perhaps well, one of the things to remember here, Brian, is that Hubert Humphrey and Kamala Harris have one very important thing in common, and that is neither

of them won a primary. Now, Humphrey went into the process with a whole bunch of delegates, but all of those delegates were through the old coronation process of the parties. Republicans of them press both where they would have caucuses as opposed to primaries to determine delegate counts. Humphrey, because of it being the old party rule, got his delegates by going to conventions and caucuses and closed doors, smoke filled rooms. He did not win a single not a

single primary needed it. Harris. Now, the interesting thing is both parties are the one thing that ties it together to is in sixty eight and in twenty four, both candidates both parties have to deal with some guy named Robert Kennedy. In sixty eight it was the convention was the ghost of Robert Kennedy and where the anti war movement went, And this time it's with Robert Kennedy Junior, and where the anti vax movement goes ah see anti vaxx movement.

I don't didn't ever perceive it as being that large in terms of a movement like that's going to get people off the couch. You know, Robert F. Kennedy and his being anti vax. Do you think there's going to be a contingent of anti vax folks in Chicago this year? I think Robert Kennedy Junior pulls people from both sides of the aisle and pulls them into this personal

privacy stage that both parties have an interest in. And I think whether it's ten percent, whether it's fifteen percent, when you get down to the bottom of it, it's still going to have an impact, huh. And that's because people are more in favor of Robert of Kennedy Jenner than they are of Kamala Harris from maybe Donald Trump. But he's not going to be on the ballot anywhere is he he is He is on several ballots as in several of

the states. And that's one of the big differences between sixty eight and twenty four is that in sixty eight you had a third party candidate in George Wallace. But George Wallace actually had a strategy to try and win the presidency.

Wallace's strategy was hoped hoping that all of the segregationist Democrats who were very, very pissed off at Linda Johnson for the Civil Rights Act and the Fair Housing Act, that they would vote for him and that he would get enough delegates to be able to throw it into the House of Representatives where the anti segregationist Democrats would throw it them to Wallace to be president. Now, the one thing that happened in that case was that Wallace's own ego kept him from doing

that because he thought he could win the country. But you look at Robert Kennedy. He's only on ballot and a couple of a handful of states. Yeah, and he really doesn't have a plan to become president, just a plan to become a thorn in the side. Well, that may be his best role, at least as of right now. It's relegated to that role. Apparently there are some discussions going on between he and the Trump campaign as to whether or not there is a place for him in the Trump administration.

Well, I guess do you think that many in the Democrats would be that he would be the secretary of brain eating worms? Fair enough? Rick is known for his humor. By the way, folks and read his books. Well what if Kamala Harris? Though? Do you think there are many within the Democrat Party? Again? I looked up and point to the Black Lives Matter posts and they are really irked at this coronation of Kamala Harris. They want a democratic process, They tell the Democratic Party they look like a party

of hypocrites. Do you think there are many within Democrat camp who feel that way about this railroad job that we seem to be facing right now. Again, I would point to history if you take a look at when in sixty eight they went through a democratic process but still coronated at Hubert Humphrey, yeah, the vice president, to become the nominee. They came out of convention with no chance whatsoever for Hubert Humphort to be President of the United States.

None. It was in such disarray, such disarray that in sixty eight they change the rules of the convention to what is very similar to what is taking place right now. And I think the Democrats the only chance for having a chance is to go into convention with the candidate and to move forward that way. Would a lot of the Democrats like to see a democratic process, I

believe they would. But the fact of the matter is if you get into a floor fight and you showed disarray, you're going to have another nineteen sixty eight, a suber country coming out and not having a chance in in a blue state to win well. And I guess the larger looming question is can

Kamal Harris run on her well on her policies. She has a record that we can all point to, and she was previously identified as the most liberal senator that was elected, I mean, and a whole slew of very very left leaning, large social programs that cost literally billions, if not trillions of dollars. I mean, that's her record, That's who she is as a candidate. I'm just wondering whether the greater population can abide this continued further further

left wing shift in the country. You're exactly on point, Brian, in that I think, much like nineteen sixty eight, this is going to go much more toward policies than personalities. Let's face it, if Richard Nixon would have had to run on his personality, he would have ended up like he did in the rate for governor. And it's not having him to kick around anymore, understood. But it went to policies against Humphrey, who you know.

I thought it was interesting at the time, and going back and doing the research, Humphrey actually didn't even have the support of the progressive side of his party. They didn't think he was liberal enough. Yeah, And which is interesting because at the time I thought you were Humphy were probably the most liberal person that had ever been nominated for president, and that is, you know, leads you to a position of going you know, you're right,

this could be more about policy than it is personality. Well, the cutoff for baby members is nineteen sixty four, which means they were four years old the youngest of them in nineteen sixty eight for the convention. We have a different landscape now. The youngest of the baby boomers are now turning sixty this year, getting closer to retirement. As we move forward, this huge bubble of baby boomers and their aging population. How do you think that's going to

impact the election? Because I know social security is a real problem for America generally, and people who are on Social Security don't want any of it cut in any way, shape or form. So that represents a sizeable voting block in so far as that one issue is concerned. Absolutely, the number one issue is going to be the election. We you and I need more handicapped lines at the voting booths because we're all going to be going there in walkers

and wheelchairs, all of us shimmers. But the thing that will be happening is you're right. The whole idea of if you're going to cut spending, you have to cut entitlements. Oh you know what, I'm a lot less for that now that I'm entitlement age. Yeah, and I was when I who was twenty five. Yeah. My mom is sixty or eighty four, and she sees the writing on the at least she perceives the demise of our country down the road because of the direction we're going, and she's like,

well, at least I won't be around to live through it. And I think that's the attitude of a lot of baby boomers in so far as social security is concerned. Yeah, Barry Goldwater wrote the Coming Breakpoint, and it might have been around sixty eight where she projected that cecial security was donno tate it could not be maintained throughout the history of the country. And it turns

out he was right. Of course, there's never been any change to it, never, and only confirmed over and over and over again with every CBO report on the status of social security since his observations way back in sixty eight.

Jeff, you are a true patriot. Patriot, you're second line behind Nick,

who's been on hold. Nick, thanks for calling this morning, Welcome to the program. Hi, Brian, how are you doing. I am doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances, which are interesting times. Well, thank you for having me on your show. And I was on a few months ago when I was talking about my book Our God Given Freedom. But one of the drum beats that was going on in nineteen sixty eight is still going on today. It's the drum beat against the Second Amendment

and against people like you who support the Second Amendment and the Democrats. After all the violence that was going on in nineteen sixty eight, what they did was they passed a gun control bill, and they talked about what a great thing that was passing this gun control. Well, now Democrats are talking about what's being done in violent language. Just a few days before Trump was shot that Joe Biden said, it's time to stop talking about the debate. It's

time to put a bulls eye on Donald Trump. Yes, sir, and and low and behold, Yes, they just they they want to they want to stop gun rights. They want to stop having having us have our rights to hold a gun. And and and you know they're using this everything that they're using, everything they're doing, they're using this as an excuse. Well, in order to achieve that objective, they're going to have to change the

current state of the law, which is that is an individual right. The second one belongs to us as individuals, and we are entitled to exercise it. So say at the Supreme Court. It was a different legal landscape back then, and they could get away with passing bans and gun control. Now they've got to survive Supreme Court scrutiny under the current test, which is a massive challenge for them. Frustrated they may be, but they're going to have

to ultimately change the law for that. I don't see that happening anytime soon. But that doesn't mean they're not going to continue to fight for that. That's one of the reasons why they want to pack the Supreme Court. After swearing an oath to uphold the United States Constitution, including the Second Amendment, they don't ever qualify when they're swearing allegiance to the Constitution when they're sworn in, now do they? But as soon as they're sworn in, they immediately

attack the Constitution. Well, you got a bit more of a challenge these days. It's like I keep going back to the abortion issue. They're going to scream about it, but it's no longer a federal question. It's in the hands of voters in the various states. A twenty six patriot, Jeff, hang on, brother, I'll get you right out of the gate. As soon as they come back. After mentioning Colin Electric, Andrew Cullen and

them great electricians, at Color Electric. They are, of course journeyman electricians taking care of all your residential electric needs like they have been for the last twenty five years. And congratulations on twenty five years of successful operation of that business. Taking great care of my listeners, I know, just like they take great care of me with my electric projects over the years. Everything they

do for you comes with a ten year wiring warranty. They're awesome at customer service, and they will do then knob and tube wiring replacement, the illumined wiring replacement. I would call those big jobs, but they'll also do very small projects like installing a can light or multiple outlet installations. When it comes to wiring and electric projects, count on my friends at cull And Electric, which you can find online Cullen CU l E and Cullen Electriccincinnati dot com.

When we say what happens next? Happens here we interrupt this price. It is because your guests is as good as ours well what's the prognosis for this country when things like this happened? What's happening? What happens next? Man, I don't even know what to say. What's happening in

our in our country anymore? Expects un believable, the unexpected, expect what is happening? And how the people have been to see her? Whose country? Fifty five krs the talk station. This is the Hey thirty one, but you I have kr C the talk station. Well today, I'm thank you got here in the day nine nice captain. If you're never behind a showdown for Joves dream and we got some wildfires out in California going out,

Joe, I thought this is our wildfire theme song anyway. Enjoying the variations in the popper music this morning, thanks to Joe Strekers that can producer and always enjoy hearing from Jeff and thank you for holding over the break there, Jeff, welcome back. Hey Brian, As always you and Joe are true patriots, Buddy. Always love hearing that my friend. Thanks. Yeah,

I just I don't know. I don't want to take anything for granted, but as far as I know, every one of my Democrat friends are way light in the wallet, and that's the one place you never hit a Democrat. So I am just phenomenally surprised by any of these supposed, you know, election surveys and stuff that say that, you know, any that Trump

is not ahead in almost every field. And and I think that with the craziness that's going on now, with the border and and our wallets shrinking and shrinking and shrinking, I'm just amazed that anyone can say that Trump is going to win. Well, okay, And this goes back to, you know,

don't don't take anything for granted. Now I agree with you there, and what I observe, and I think others have observed, you know, this quick influx of one hundred million dollars into the Kamala Harris coffers, and oh the online support and oh my god, there's a couple of polls out that shows she's ahead by a point or two. That's post you know,

shift over away from Biden exuberance. I think that's the vast majority of Democrats sort of the exhaling that they're relieve that they don't have the baggage Joe Briden had and the obvious outcome of the election, which is we all know, Joe Biden is toast. He is not going to be president. That makes Kamala Harris automatically the next president by voting for Biden. That's a terrible place

to be. Oh look, that's not an issue for us anymore. Exhale collective sigh of relief and oh my god, here I'll write a check. And because I hate Trump, never overlooked the fact that there's that built in over seven years, give or take hatred, so many people literally hate him. The name sends shivers down their spine and evokes, you know, red faces and anger that's still there. That's one thing you cannot deny. Left

wing media has a built in reaction mechanism. So many people, including some Republicans, that as soon as you utter the word Trump, you're like,

no, no, no, So Kamal Harris sounds better. Yeah, until you look at the issues and exactly what you're talking about, and then you go to vote, You're like, wait a second, my hatred for Trump the man, in spite of the fact that I was doing better under his administration and he has a record that he's running on, in spite of that, I'm going to vote against my best interest and vote for a president who's more liberal than Joe Biden by far, and who's already on record as building

and expanding these massive entitlement programs and thus running the printing press without fixing the problem of our outrageous spending already, which is going to have an even further inflationary pressure. If people would think about it, rather than reacting to evil Orange Man with that built in Pavlovian response thank you media, then they would think, no, this will be a really bad idea of voting for her.

It would be against my best interest, right, And I just hope that I'm glad that everybody votes individually, because again, I will be so happy if enough of these people in their own little world, when they're at that marking down that ballot, if they say, well, no, one's gonna know that I voted for Trump, so let's keep our fingers crossed.

But to all my conservative leaning folks, folks who even aren't even a huge fan of Donald Trump, but understand that the policies of this current administration, what will obviously be the policies of the Harris administration, will suck. We'll stink on ice. So yeah, go in and go ahead and vote for Trump. As much as it hurts you, nobody's gonna know you did it, but at least get in and vote and prevent a colossal existential train wreck

Let's see what Fred's gott Hey Fred, thanks for holding over the break, my friend. Welcome to the show. Good morning, long time listener.

Thank you. Uh, let me just start off center. I am a black Democrat, but I don't think either party Democras Crats our Republicans is looking for my best interests. And I say that because, well, let me just say it, the national president, whoever become president, is not going to speck me one way or another. Uh, the local races,

it's gonna affect me. My biggest thing is I live in a black neighborhood and my problem is basically police seem and also the city of Cincinnati is for the things they do, and my neighbors that I'm around only can see the black neighbors I'm around have a problem with forrest, The police been in our neighborhood. Trash been picked up, Our streets is not paved like other streets, right, you know, basically having the same thing done as other streets.

When we can go to another neighborhood, basically they streets get tore up and they get paid then within a week where our streets get tore up. And this was like, Uh, you out in the country somewhere, that's the problem. When you you can't have the same thing as somebody else,

but you paying taxes. That's what a problem comes in for us as I'm stop saying for us, For me as a black man, that that when I go down the street and walk out my door, I don't have the luxury of having my trash picked up on time, or they throw trash on the ground, they don't pick it up. The streets is not done, poles been hit? Are they leaning over? Yeah, that's my thing. It's local understood, not more of the president. And I understand what people

are saying about who's going to be running for presidents. Every time I was up and down the street and down the highway. There are more hotels getting built, there are more roles getting done, there are more houses being sold. There is money out there. But the whole thing is it's not doing and gloom, like everybody said, is well man, And I appreciate you that sometimes you call the call in and say some crazy stuff and you, you know, direct them in the right direction. And I appreciate you for

doing that. That's the only reason I listen to you, because I get eighty percent of one and twenty per cent of the other one. But it balances out with you, and I appreciate that more than anything. Well, I appreciate that friend, because that's the how, that's where I operate from. You know, you are being failed by your local government, There's no question about it. You go throughout the city of Cincinnati, many people in

a variety of different neighborhoods, it's as if they've been completely forgotten. Yes, the roads are in terrible shape. Yes, there is infrastructure problems all over the place. It has been a collective failure of priority on a local level because they're responsible for allocating the finite amount of resources they have, and they have overlooked your neighborhood. I guess I would feel stung myself. Fred,

you're right, But why do they build as Fred? You've got potholes, you got a crappy neighborhood, you got garbage and needs to be collected. Why do they build a streetcar? Fred? Five million dollars a year in maintenance and upkey. Yet no, they overlooked your neighborhood, and you, specifically, Fred, in favor of a glory, you know, shining object that did nothing for the City of Cincinnati except keep us in further debt.

That's it, then, whatsoever? And like I said once again, and and I know that it's time before election and their out have or their meeting and they're around walking around. But you know, I as soon as the election is over with this call to the same thing all over again once again, and my whole thing once again. You get all these people that's been elected, you got all the people under them, and they can't go out and survey the areas that they are supposed to be representing. Yeah,

that's my whole thing. You represent my area and I have never seen or talked to you. You never came to a resident council media, you never did anything like that. But yes, you want my vote. It's a good point for no Fred. That's what the morning show is for. You get it out of your system and maybe draw the attention of some elected official that might look a little bit harder before they start going down the road of some shiny object that's going to benefit no One and start thinking about Fred in

his neighborhood and fixing the damn roads and getting the garbage picked up. I think you're on solid ground, man. You're always welcome to call in. Fred. Keep up again, all right, thanks you you have a great day. You do the same man. Eight forty six fifty five KR. See the talk station and you got a friend in Maureen Fred.

Fifty five k tight fifty two segue into a little tool here. Closing out of

the program with a great day of bumper music. Thanks Joe Strecker. It's been fun. Ah And you know, Fred, I feel for you man, and I don't kind of sort of improve my point. You know, if you have to, if you're going to rely on the government, then you're setting yourself up for a failure. It says, you know, I go back to Social Security. You know you're on Social Security you're relying on the government to keep things sowed together and running smoothly and solvent. They have

failed you. I wouldn't want to be in that position. Who's been running the city of Cincinnati now for decades, who has prioritized stupid projects over just taking care of what they owned and were responsible for already, You've got multiple administrations. The infrastructure needs in the city of Cincinnati are unbelievable in terms of how backlog they are, how many road miles are supposed to do versus what they actually did every year. Why, well, we're too busy doing something

else. We don't bother picking up the trash because we're too busy doing something else. Oh look, let's build another leg of the streetcar. Have you worked the math on that yet? I just really wonder what goes through politicians mind, is that the need that they think they need to go out and do even more when they have failed us on what they brought us in the first place, key government services, roads, infrastructure, public safety, creating

a welcome environment in all the areas of the city. So it is a drawing point for more investment, more investment, which leads, of course to more tax dollars. You live in a beautiful environment. It's like a whole broken windows things. If you clean the place up and you take good care of it, it looks really nice. People perceive it to be a welcome environment, and they might be inclined to live there. Meantime they go chasing, you know, but oh god, I don't know. I hear in

Fred's voice and I understand where he's coming from. Then again, I try to do the I want to put as little confidence in government as possible, as little of my wife to have anything in any connection whatsoever, because every time they get involved, they seem to just create a colossal train wreck out of the situation. Oh my god, we've got to regulate this. We got to regulate that. We got to do this, We got to do that. No, you really don't, you really don't. How about fixing

the damn roads. How about bringing the police force up the line so Fred's neighborhood is a little bit safer. How About let's embrace the police and let's ask politicians support them and their mission, which is to provide a safe environment, as opposed to running around demonizing them all day long and micromanaging and scrutinizing every little movement that a police officer makes. It's terrible for morale and the

demonization of police that hasn't rampant in this country of late. You know, it's terrible for recruiting HM much in the same way DEI is terrible for recruiting. In the American military, you are not helping our country. You're not protecting us from threats both foreign and domestic, when you're focusing on the only oh my god, what color skin is it by person? Who do they like to sleep with. That's not a cohesive military. That's a recipe for

disaster. And oh look, we're living the reality of that, putting us in a worse position. Why well, because they feel they had to get in, intervene, micromanage and change the direction of the thinking. No, you didn't have to spend any time doing that. It was working out just

fine. Fix Fred's roads.
