You're twenty twenty four election headquarters.
Your wrong economic nighte mare will very soon be over.
It's going to be over fifty five krs the talk station.
Good morning. Before we look ahead and look back at significant events and people tied to this particular date in history October seventh, including but not limited to these, and certainly including the small town boy from Seymour, Indiana, John Mellencamp, who's seventy three in.
Small town, small town, having mountaown commute, my Friensis small town.
The small towns like Chimney Rock, North Carolina, East Palestine, Ohio, home of thousands, even millions have forgotten Americans thirty days until decision day in the twenty twenty four election. But anyway, some historical notes from this particular day. Seventeen sixty five. The Stamp Act Congress, a forerunner of our representative form of government before we were a country, convened in New York to drop colonial grievances against England. Nineteen thirteen. It's very,
very important. The first moving assembly line began operation at the Ford Motor Company in Highland Park, Michigan, the forerunner of all kinds of manufacturing in this country. Ford rolled it out first this day. In nineteen eighty five, Palestinian gunman hijacked the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro in the Mediterranean. They shot and killed Leon Klinghoffer, a Jewish American tourist in a wheelchair, and pushed him overboard before if were
surrendering a couple of days later. Isn't it funny how history repeats itself? Nineteen ninety two, on this date, trade representatives in the US, Canada, and Mexico initialed the North American Free Trade Agreement NAFTA during a ceremony in Texas in the presence of then President George H. W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Brian mulrooney, and Mexican President Carlos Selinas Digatory.
This still debate over what kind of advancement that was or what kind of damage it did to the American economy. NAFTA this date. In nineteen ninety eight, Matthew Shepard, a gay college student, beaten and left tied to a wooden fence post outside of Laramie, Wyoming. He died five days later. The two who were serving life sentences for Shepherd's murderer
still there. I guess But the Shepherd case was interesting because it initiated a lot of these hate crime legislations because the narrative at the time was that Shepherd was beaten and killed because he was gay, and that meant there needed to be enhanced charges and punishments for the two men who were convicted of beating Matthew Shepherd to death. The fact of the matter was it was a lie. Matthew Shepherd was beaten to death because of a bad drug deal, a drug deal gone bad, not because he
was gay. I mean, I think if you murder someone in cold blood, it's a hate crime, don't get me wrong. But there were all kinds of laws that popped up all over the country after that with enhance punishments for hate crimes because you killed him because he was black, because he was gay. Interesting how that resonates when you understand the actual truth behind it. Matthew Shepherd's just as dead. But all of these hate crime laws, do we really need those on the books when we can't enforce the
laws that are already there. The War in Afghanistan began as the United States and Britain launched air attacks against military targets in Osama Bin Lan's training camps in the wake of September eleventh, That, of course, was two thousand and one. Two years later, California voters recalled Governor Gray Davis and elected Arnold Schwarzenegger their new governor. And this
is the big one. October seventh, last year, Hamas led militants launched air and ground attacks on Israel, killing almost twelve hundred taking more than two hundred and fifty hostages. The attacks, followed hours later by Israeli counterattacks, marked the beginning of the current war, the one that now only involves Israel and Jamas, a terrorist organization funded by Iran, but also has Bala in southern Lebanon, a terrorist organization funded by Iran, and the Uti rebels in Yemen, a
terror organization funded by Iran. There need to be some some answers given to us, not just to the Israelis, but to the world about why we are helping fund Iran's terrorist funding in the Middle East. We've been doing it ever since Joe Biden took the oath of office in twenty twenty one with his vice president Kamala Harris, who's now running for president. In twenty twenty four, there
need to be some serious answers and accountability. They talk about accountability a lot in official Washington these days, although we find very little of it actually at play. Need to hold Iran in their feet to the fire. I ran, by the way, a country which has officially been at war with our country. You could take Israel out of the equation with our country since nineteen seventy nine when
they took our embassy over and took hostage Americans. Those hostages were there being humiliated, being incarcerated, being imprisoned by the Iranians and the IATOLA for four hundred and forty four days before they were released. With the inauguration of Ronald Reagan as our president. We act like we're not at war with Iran, but they are certainly at war with us, and have been for forty five years now.
Never really did anything about it, got our hostages back, didn't get American sovereign soil back at embassy in Tehran, and the Iranian people have been subject to the totalitarian terrorist regime ever since. There has to be some accountability and in the years since Israel was a tact basically by Iran under the banner of hamas Americans in this country inexplicedly, and it's unexplainable that Americans have blamed Israel.
Of course, the money and the power behind those protests is well in lockstep with Iran, because Israel should be punished simply because it exists. Besides Mellencamp today, on this October seventh, the birthday list includes comedian talk show host Joy Behar. Oh my god, I'd hate to share a birthday with that horrid woman. Tiko Torres, who is in Banjo heb seventy one, Cellus Yo yo Ma has a birthday today sixty nine, Simon Cowell off You Go is
sixty five. Tony Braxton has a birthday tom Yorke who was in Radio Head, Nicole Aery Parker, football Hall of Famer Charles Woodson, and MLB outfielder Mooky Betts is thirty two. Let's hear it from Mooky. We'll be remembering what happened, what occurred a year ago, all morning long, and along the way, several guests here in the morning show. Our thoughts with Brian Thomas, who's not here today. I hope
all is going well with him. Coming up on five point fifteen on a Monday, getting you started, and by the way, you want to chime in at any time on any topic. Five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty five hundred is the phone number. I'm Gary Jeff Walker filling in on fifty five KRC the talk station and five eighteen and a Monday morning, we remember October seventh. On October seventh, Gary jeffan for Brian this morning on
fifty five KRC. The other major issue in our focus today has to be the rescue and relief efforts still ongoing in North Carolina and South Carolina, in Georgia, in Florida, little pieces of Tennessee as another hurricane Milton is now barreling towards Tampa, Florida, with its eye on the sunshine stay once again, just two weeks after Helene created such carnage. And before getting into the political side of this, let's
talk about the human side of this. The stories continue to pour in as relief has been hard to get to some of the people affected by the aftermath of Helene because of many things, mostly geographical issues, but there were also issues as we now know, at the top of official Washington and FEMA and the current presidential administration,
which of course includes Kamala Harris. But that being said, there are many agencies doing miraculous work, as you probably know, and you may have already donated to help that work continue to get the aid to people that need it so desperately, who have lost literally everything. Matthew twenty five ministries here locally, Samaritan Purse, Franklin Graham's Charity, and of course the American Red Cross, who are always on the front lines of disaster relief. They're all great organizations that
truly do help people. And my wife and I will make our second donation later on today to Samaritans Purse after donating some money to the American Red Cross. And it doesn't have to be a whole lot of cash, if you got ten or twenty bucks, whatever you can
do to help your fellow American citizens. One of the stories from Chimney Rock, North Carolina, from a volunteer firefighter, John Payne, who was responding to a possible gas leak when he noticed water spilling over US sixty four seventy four, the main road into that small town in rural North Carolina, just after seven o'clock in the morning. He said the actual hurricane hadn't even come through and hit. Yet he's
lived in this valley his entire life. He said. He forgot about the call about a possible gas leak and went back up the hild of the fire station, which was moved to higher ground following a flood in nineteen ninety six, and the former fire chief, a guy named Buck Malisky, who'd worked that flood in ninety six, said there's no way it's hitting that early. But when Payne showed him a video that he'd just taken of water topping the bridge at the Hickory Nut Falls Family Campground,
that's when the old man's jaw dropped. He said, We're in it for it, boys, We're in for it. Suddenly the ground beneath them began to shake, like you know what happens occasionally when tremors come through the valley, but a lot stronger than that. By then, muddy water was seeping under the back wall of that firehouse where they are standing talking about the fact that this is going
to be very bad. John Payne looked down and saw what he askedmated to be a thirty foot high wall of water, tossing car sized boulders as it raced towards the town. He said it looked like the wave was just eating the houses and spitting them out. He observed, it's not water at that point, it's mud, concrete like material, and whatever it hits, it takes with it. A house hit the bridge where he'd been filming just twenty minutes earlier, he said, the span imploded. He later found the steel
beams bent in the horseshoe shapes around boulders. Back at the firehouse, some business owners among the group that were there began crying hysterically. Others just stood in disbelief. They liked so many lost communications during the storm. But when the winds finally began to quiet down around eleven o'clock that morning, this is a span of four hours in Chimney Rock, North Carolina, the radios began blowing up with calls.
The pieces of what had been Chimney Rock Village were now on their way to the neighboring town of Lake Lure. Tracy Stevens, a bartender at Hickory Nutt, took refuge at the Lake Lure Inn, where she also worked. She watched as what was left of chimney Rock and beyond came pouring into the marina, tossing boats around like they were toys, and thrusting metal sections of the floating town center walkway upward like the folds on a map. It looked like
a toilet bowl flushing. I could see cars, tops of houses. It was absolutely the craziest thing I'd seen. And that's just two stories from two little towns in North Carolina. And those are the people that we must focus on. We're thirty days and away from an election, but really the focus has to be there. Kamala Harras finally visited on Saturday. Too little, too late, maybe, but when a natural disaster hits like this, you can put the blame anywhere you want, but it's a natural disaster. It's how
you deal with it in the aftermath. And the federal government, the people that work for us, have failed miserably to this point. Seven hundred and fifty dollars a person, well, billions are being spent on I legal immigrants and a war in Ukraine that we should have no part in to begin with. It is absolutely disgusting, but it's on us. We've got to take it on so again. American Red Cross Samaritan's Purse Matthew twenty five Ministries five twenty six.
On this Monday morning, October seventh, Gary Jeffen from Bryan on fifty five KRC, the talk station.
What's the Best.
Joe and I were speaking before the show. I'm just glad he's still speaking to me. But we were talking about trying to watch a football game or any kind of television, especially the last couple of weeks. And again we're thirty days out from the election day yet early
voting begins in Ohio tomorrow. But he's talking about watching the Bengals game, and he noticed two spots, two commercials for Shared Brown back to back, and then two commercials for Bernie Marino, ha sentate opponent in Ohio, back to back, and then another Shared Brown commercial, all in the space of a few minutes. Overload. We're all experienced it, and especially the presidential election, which has actually been going. They
keep on talking about it. It's the start of the longest running presidential election in American history or American memory. This presidential election began that this season, This campaign began the minute that they announced the winner of the last presidential election, who was debatable, Joe Biden. We've been living through campaign hell in this country now for almost four years.
It just it's relentless, it doesn't stop. And I truly believe that this presidential election, it certainly shouldn't be close at all. But I don't think it's going to be close. If you actually count the votes of living people and people who are actual citizens of this country, it should be an overwhelming landslide for Donald Trump if you compare the two who administration's records on important issues that people say they care about the economy and they always care
about the economy. Immigration, illegal immigration, which had slowed down to a trickle under Trump, and then the floodgates opened, almost like a hurricane, pouring in through our southern border, and now our northern borders being compromised like never before
in this country. Anyway, back to my point, I think truly an overwhelming majority of American voters, citizen voters, are going to vote for Donald Trump and to not the anointed undemocrat, undemocratic democrat, leftist Kamala Harris, who stands for
nothing and will tell you anything. Back to my point, though it has to be close, we have to be told over and over again by the pollsters, by the media that this is a razor thin margin, don't be complacent, And I agree you shouldn't be complacent, but I don't
think it's that close. The reason they're telling us this and it's plain and simple, and it's the oldest reason that you get money in power, money from both parties, and believe me, millions upon millions, but billions of dollars if you count all the campaigns together, have flowed into the coffers of both Republican and Democrat candidates in this election and will continue to do so right up till
election day. They don't want to miss out on those donations because if it's a foregone conclusion, one of the other is running away with it. All that money book
drives up, it's not there anymore. And the media, of which I'm not proud to say I'm a member at this point right now, the media is complicit in this gas lighting and in this little dog and pony show that's called the twenty twenty four election because they get the benefit of all the money, or much of the money that is flowing into the conference of the Republican and the Democrat parties. The media is a benefactor and
has an interest in claiming this is so close. Keep that money coming in, keep that ad money coming in. We need it, we need it, we want it. We'll tell him anything just so the money keeps flowing in. Pretty disgusting, really if you take time to think about it. But I guess it's nothing new. It's just more intense than ever seemingly. We have Chris Mithman with us around seven thirty this morning for his regular rant. We have
a guy named Russell Mock. Judge Mock, you're probably familiar with, talking about the local race, particularly the Melissa Powers prosecutor race,
representing the Republican Party. And we'll also have a couple of other guests along the way, including Mark Mix's president of National Right to Work talk about the just ended or at least paused dock workers strike, long shortman strike and whether this is over yet, and also Jennifer Breeman talking about candidate Bernie Marine, know who was in that battle with the Shared Brown we were just speaking of
with all those darn TV ads. Five point thirty six coming up on a Monday morning, October seventh, Gary jeff In for Brian Thomas on fifty five KRC, the talk station.
You know, the big wireless companies want you to overpay for data.
Obviously, it's a clean slate on the interstates. We'll check back in in just a few coming up on well twenty minutes till the top of the hour and Gary jeff in for Brian. This morning, I was noticing that there was a well, this is from over the weekend. Actually leave. Initially the report came from Channel nine CPO
out of Springfield, Ohio. A court has referred to County prosecutors criminal case brought to you by a citizens group against Donald Trump and JD Vance over their comments about Haitian immigrants, but the court did reject the groups called issue arrest warrants or misdemeanor summons. The Clark County Municipal Court found no probable cost to issue warrants or summons on misdemeanor charges against former President Donald Trump and his running mate Jade Vance. The matter then referred to the
Clark County Prosecutor's office for further investigation. The problem is a group that represents the fifteen to twenty thousand Haitian immigrants who have flooded Springfield in the last three years, legally under a temporary protective order issued by the Biden administration.
The Haitian Bridge Alliance, a nonprofit group representing the Haitian community, last month invoked a private city and right to file charges over the chaos and threats experience since Trump first spread false claims about illegal immigrants there during a presidential debate. Have you been to Springfield, Ohio lately? I'm just curious, have you. I was in Urbana, which is not far from sits right down the road from Springfield, a couple
of weeks ago. It's been about three weeks, and what the guy told me, and that guy being a friend that I trust who lives in the area, was that the chaos has been caused by the temporarily legal Haitian immigrants who were in Springfield, and not by Donald Trump or JD. Vance. The chaos happens anytime you bring an extra twenty thousand people and drop them in a town of you know, fifty five thousand or whatever. You just brought in a third of what is there now in
just a few years. But anyway, the Haitian Bridge Alliance wants them to be prosecuted Donald Trump and JD. Vance for things that they said. The persistence and rest relentlessness, even the face of the governor and the mayor saying this is false, That shows intent, it's knowing, wilful flouting
of criminal law. Meanwhile, the Trump Advance campaign said the former president was rightfully highlighting the failed immigration system that Vice President Kamala Harris has overseen, bringing thousands of illegal immigrants pouring into communities like Springfield and many others across the country. Fifteen to twenty thousand. What would happen if in just a few years time, fifteen to twenty thousand people who don't know your culture, don't know your language,
we're just dumped in your town. Say you say you live in Batavia, for example, and all of a sudden, the government, through these NGOs, a nonprofit organization, arranges to have a massive population just dumped into your town, using your services, all of a sudden. That's what happened in Springfield. Now, the whole emphasis has been on Donald Trump or JD. Vance talk about them, the Haitian immigrants eating people's house pets and dogs and cats and the like, which may
not have happened. I don't know. They'd say, there's no evidence that this is this has occurred but I have seen and talked to people. I'm not personally seen, but I've talked to people who who have witnessed them illegal goose hunting and duck hunting in Springfield, Ohio. You know, if you're a if you're a hunter, you know that there are the geese are off the table completely, but there's a duck hunting season. The Haitians aren't paying attention
to that. They're just going to and grabbing themselves some ducks. When when people who are not citizens of the country have more pull and sway and more rights than American citizens, we got to rethink the policy, don't we and not imprison somebody or try and accuse somebody of committing a crime for pointing it out. Other people behind this are obviously anti free speech. It's five forty five five one
three seven nine fifty five hundred. If you'd like to get in touch, we'll take a break and come back on fifty five krc DE Talk station. Hey Bengals fans, when you line up sevenix o'clock, Poudy carry Jeff in for Brian Thomas and on the line our first caller of the morning, Bobby, you know, talking about immigration. Hello, Bobby, good morning, How are you and what are you doing up so early? We're up early every day, my brother.
We got to maintain Almighty God's America.
God bless you so uh so, anyway, your your thoughts on this immigrant you know, they all the argument is always we're a country of immigrants. We all came from somewhere else. But this is so different, This is so organically different than how America was formed. What's going on that? Because it's not the great melting pot. The melting pot is being thrown in with all these ingredients that don't work with the rest of the ingredients already there. Would you say that's a fair assessment.
Well, with this migrant inplux that we're having, I'm just wondering, how do we recreate ladies and gentlemen from Sweden, Norway and Scandinavia. How can we mix it up a little bit? You know, I don't understand why it's just all one culture instead of you know, well, you know, an influx of different people.
I'll tell you. I'll tell you why we don't get that influx of people from Scandinavia. Their government has already given them all kinds of freebies. Our government is dangling the freebies, i e. The billions of dollars that have already been spent on illegal immigrants to this country who came into this country illegally and as being flown into America. And they're not coming for freedom. They're not coming because they're so oppressed in the places that they're coming from.
They're coming for the goodies that they can get out of American taxpayer's pockets. That's why they're coming here now, because they've been guaranteed a phone, a debit card, a free place to stay. In fact, we'll give you transportation anywhere you want into the country, just to get you off of our border and off of the radar. That's why they're coming now. They're coming because of the giant welcome that that the current administration has laid out, subverting
all of our immigration laws. This is the other thing. Kamala Harris and other Democrats blamed Donald Trump for the for the failed immigration bill that was bipartisan and it was going to help solve the problem. The bipartisan immigration bill that they're talking about only made it easier for many illegal immigrants to come in at a certain level a well, only it's only two million a year, only
two million a year or five million a year. You're going to slow this, slow the uh slow the spread so to speak and COVID parlance to only five million a year illegal immigrants being allowed. And then they wanted to make them citizens, subverting and circumventing all of the mechanisms that are already in place. When you come here from another country and you want to be a citizen of the USA, I mean, and then the issue is racism. You're racist because you don't want people who don't look
like you into the country. And it's black and brown people. It's you, white people afraid of being replaced by black and brown people. There are people coming here by the thousands from communists China, and that government is pushing them to come here. They're directing them to come here because they want to infiltrate this country and turn it into a Marxist cesspool so they can be the dominant country
on the face of the earth. The terrorists are coming in since in the last fifteen years, it's really really hyped up in the last three and a half years. Don't get me wrong, in the last fifteen years. Even Ice says over four hundred and fifty thousand people with serious criminal charges have been let into the country and nobody knows where they are because there's no vetting. There's not an orderly process, which is already It's already on our books. Congress doesn't need to act to pass a
new law. There are already plenty of laws and statutes that say the president has power to stem the flow of all these illegals coming in. And this president isn't doing it. The one we had before was and he will again. We don't need new laws. The laws are already there. Follow the law. And now Donald Trump, God bless him. If he's elected, his first task on day one will be working with Ice to deport these illegal
criminals from our country. I hope he gets the job because may Orcus and the rest of these numbskull incompetence need to be fired. We're not just firing Kamala Harris from the Vice presidency and keeping her out of the Oval office. We're also firing may Orcus, Buddhaje Edge Romundo. That chick is a nightmare the Secretary of Commerce. Have you listened to some of her comments. It's time that
they all got fired. From this apprentice show, but his job one on day one will be to figure out what to do with all of the world's riff raft that have been allowed in Thanks to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Five point fifty six at fifty five krs, the talk station the.
Latest on the election minutes away at the top of the OLM. You got a vote. The future of our country depends on it. Fifty five krs the talk station Discover.
Rec October seventh, twenty twenty four. Happy birthday to Tico Torres.
A song full of the brooking hot.
A bon Jovi, who is seventy one today. I couldn't set one year since the worst terrorist attack in Israel, perhaps ever by proportion by percentage. Nearly twelve hundred killed in the attack by the Mos terrorist network, which is right next door in the Gaza Strip. There's a lot less of them now, thank God, and thank the IDF.
It's hard to believe that it's been a year already, and it's just been a week since devastation came via Mother Nature and Hurricane Helene to places like Asheville, North Carolina. They're calling it there, Katrina. Donald Trump is calling it Kamala Harris's Katrina moment because she is the one in office. It's a report from the scene that's been updated this morning. This is from the Epoch Times. Tunnel Road a major thoroughfare between Ashville and the Swanna Noah Valley in western
North Carolina. Before Hurricane Helen, hundreds of cars would cross that bridge and route to downtown Ashville. Cottages in the Blue Ridge Mountains are Interstate forty headed east to west. That bridge is now blocked by an entire house on top of it, deposited by the flooding. A US Army for Position Alan Queen, who's an Assistant Incident commander of military personnel deployed for disaster relief, said, you see a house on top of a bridge, that peak picture speaks
a thousand words. That's his hometown too. He wasn't just flown in there for the disaster. He lives there in Ashville. He said that the floods caused by Hurricane Helen were the worst in more than one hundred years. Even the Great Flood of nineteen sixteen, which killed eighty not as bad as what they've experienced in the aftermath of Helene. Storefronts blasted open like there was an explode, like a bomb went off. Cars overturned in ditches of muddy water,
Tractor trailers mangled across roads and highways. This storm dumped forty trillion gallons of water on these states between September twenty fourth and twenty ninth, with the wind again inland, reaching one hundred and forty miles an hour. The death count is more than two hundred. There are still hundreds of people missing. And again my issue this morning with you, and I know Bryan's listeners, I know Kes listeners. You're people with a conscience, You're people who care about your
fellow citizens. And I'm sure you've already done this, but if you haven't yet, I encourage you to give whatever you can towards these relief efforts, because we found out in the last week that the federal government is not the answer. It's never the answer. They tell us that they're there working for us in Washington, or in Columbus, or in Frankfurt, but more and more the evidence is
clear they're working for somebody else. It ain't you and me, mostly themselves, is who they're working for, and they're working for agendas that don't have the best interest of the average American citizen in mind. Give to the American Red Claw, a Cross, Samaritans Purse, Franklin Graham's incredible charity, and Matthew twenty five ministries here in town. Forty trillion gallons of water.
The floodwater's gone most places, but the suffering continues. The greatest iron of Helene is that forty trillions gallons of water dumped into these states. There's no water. There's no water to drink, there's no water to wash. The water shortage is maybe the most critical part of the aftermath of this. Water mains, underground pipes swept away. I mean the ground itself moved like it was an earthquake. Not one single building in Asheville, North Carolina, which is no
small town, can access running water. And people are alive right now in Ashville and other places because of the thousands of gallons of water being shipped in every day. And that's where Samaritans Purse, in the Red Cross, all these other relief efforts come in. You can't flush your toilet, can't take a shower, can't do laundry, no water to drink.
The infrastructure for that water has been totally destroyed. According to a primary care physician, I mean Asheville is known as a very kind of leftist, progressive place, but that doesn't matter at a time like this. These are American citizens, and with the election just thirty days away, North Carolina is a crucial state, for example, in the presidential election
and in Senate races. In places like Asheville, the larger cities which tend to vote Democrat, they're probably going to be able to vote in these rural outback towns and mountain towns and valleys, Big Trump Country. Will these people, I mean, they don't have water to drink. How are they going to vote? Ryan Austin, a Nashville Ashville local and disaster relief work says there's no running water in all of Ashville. Plenty of people bringing in bottled water
for drinking. There's no way to use that for anything else, And especially at hospitals. Can you imagine being a nurse or a doctor, or a patient more importantly, in a hospital and there's no water and the shelters where many of the injured and homeless are taking refuge. A Level two trauma center Nashville called Mission Hospital twelve hundred beds reportedly digging wells to find water for essential services. Feces piled up in the toilets. People had buckets next to
their rooms. They were flushing their toilets that way. Doctors could not do important necessary procedures because there was no way to clean their utensils. Yep, everybody says water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink in Ashville or so many other places. Again, Kamala Harris was there over the weekend. You know, too little, too late. Donald Trump has called
this Kamali's Katrina since she's in office. Donald Trump, on the other hand, has as you know, enlisted Elon Musk, his good friend, to bring communications to these areas with his Starlink and initially the Starlinks stations. We're being denied access to be installed where there's no cell phone service, there's no power, there's no water, there's no way to find out if somebody's alive or not. Really, really a
dire situation. So American Red Cross Samaritan's Purse, Matthew twenty five, get off my horse here and take a break, Gary Jeff and for Brian Thomas this morning. It's coming up on six fifteen at fifty five KRC the talk station. Yes, about eighteen minutes after six o'clock on a Monday morning, Gary Jampin for Brian on fifty five KRC the Talk station, Good morning, Great to be with you five one, three, seven,
four nine fifty five hundred to get in touch. We're talking about Hurricane Helene relief, which I think is the most important issue. Even though we're only thirty days from the election, early voting starts in Ohio tomorrow, and for the first time I think ever, Republicans, Conservatives, people you might be voting for, are imploring you to get out and vote early if you can. I'm going to save my vote for election day because I don't want the other side to know how many votes they need to
steal to win another presidential election. That's why. Figure if they see all these votes for Donald Trump or whatever conservative candidate you may be voting for in your situation, in your state or your community, if they know how many they've got to steal, well, I don't want to give them any help. But early votings start tomorrow, and I'm sure that'll be part of what is on Chris
Smitherman's mind. It certainly will be on Judge Russell Mock's mind, who was head of a Republican party and is of course talking about Melissa Powers for the prosecutor here in Hamilton County. But anyway, we'll be talking with him in just a few moments. The other issue in my mind that is predominant a year later is what is going on in
the Middle East. Why should we care? Well, we should care because Israel is the United States basically in that it's the only thing like the United States as far as a government and democrat see in freedom for the average individual. You don't have to be a Jew to live in Israel. There are many people who are not Jewish who live in Israel. But the whole focus of Hamas Hesbala and Iran is getting rid of the Jews.
This is nothing new. It's been going on for thousands of years, reared at sugly head when Hitler was in power, and the pro Hamas protesters in this country are nothing more than a throwback to Adolf Hitler because all about hatred of Jews. And here we are a year later. The IDF will not be and should not be handcuffed by our administration or anyone else. It is their business and we need to help them. Ukraine, I'm not so
sure of. We have Gary, we have Gary on the line. Gary, good morning, how are you and what's on your mind?
Good morning Gary, Jeff. I heard you talking about these these great fundraisers and Donald Trump has a go fund me that right now has raised six million, eight hundred and thirteen dollars and six million, eight hundred and thirteen thousand, seven and twenty three dollars right.
Now, and for the relief for the for the relief effort.
Yes, sir, you go to go fund me Trump author I support kan Leen victims. It's six million, eight hundred and thirteen, seven and twenty three dollars.
God bless him, God bless anybody who has donated to that. Gary, I mean to me, to me, this is the only issue that matters. I know people are all fired up about the election and how important and consequential it is. Uh And and Trump even said it himself over the weekend. I'm not here for votes. I'm here for to save lives. And and that's who he is at his core, that's who he is, I believe. Yeah, I.
Didn't hear a lot about the go fund me and until the other day popped up on a radio show and I donated, And it's pretty quick and simple. Everybody wants to do that.
What is what is the what is the title of the GoFundMe page? Is it just Hurricane Helene or what?
What?

I know your government tells you that they're going to take care of certain things for you, and I'm watching all of this unfold. I am stunned that they're telling you that everything's fine. And we talked to Governor DeSantis on this program and Governor Brian Kemp on this program. To their credit, they prepositioned utility trucks and emergency supplies to everyone knew a Cat three likely Cat four hurricane
was coming. Joe and Kamala didn't do a thing because now we know they had given the money, they squandered it. They took it out of the FEMA fund to give to their unvenited illegal immigrants.

Paid for by Gold Co Chairman of the Hamilton County Republican Party, Judge Russell Mock, joining us for a few minutes this morning. Early voting begins in Ohio tomorrow and of course pointing towards that November fifth election day, and Judge Mock, it's pleasure to have you. How are you.
Doing Garry Jeff, Good morning, sir, for early Monday morning. I'm doing fantastic, but you're absolutely right. Tomorrow tomorrow is a big day, October eight, voting starts. But I do want to remind all of your listeners that the last day to register to vote and this election cycle is today. So go to the Hamilton County Board of Elections which is Hamilton Vote Hamilton County, Ohio dot gov and make sure that you're registered or you got your change or address.
Very important. We have everybody registered and ready to go.
Well, I mean how many how many dead people do the Democrats have registered already? I mean, should should you get should you get grandma involved? If grandma's not around.
I got to tell you from from mile my short time of being counting chairman and watching the folks on the Board of Elections on both sides, that can tell you they are there on top of this, they are completely going through those voter roles.
And I will tell you I had one of.
My good friends parents passed away over the summertime and they told me that they've already received a letter that they.
Were taken off the voter role.
So well, I think the BOE is doing a good job. I think the changes that they made up in Columbus in the last couple of years, I think we're going to have a secure and safe election, and I think we're going to win from the top all the way down to the bottom.
Well from from you know what we saw in twenty twenty with all of the chaos that the COVID pandemic led into, and the mail in ballots and the absentee ballots and ballot boxes. I'm not a big fan of ballot boxes myself, but your thoughts on ballot drop off boxes, Russell, well.
You know, it's against one of those things it's necessary to have. I know that there's a pending loss that's going on the folks filed claiming the Americans of disabilities violation. I think having one box the way that they do under twenty four hour surveillance, I think that's a reasonable accommodation. And I think again the safeguards is the legislatures taken and the Board of Elections. I think it's okay to vote that way. I think people dropping off ballots for
an infirm friend or family's fine. Obviously, ballot harvesting and bundling what they do is not.
And I think the way that they have the voter box set up, I think they'll they'll catch those issues. So I feel confident this year.
I feel you know, as you know, twenty twenty was a crazy year all the way around, and there was a lot that went on, and I think it's going to be a lot better here in twenty twenty four.
So let's talk about these local races. Judge Melissa Powers for Hamilton County Prosecutor, I know she has a stellar record as a judge. What are what are County Pillages qualifications to be prosecutor of Hamilton County? Can you filled me in on the opposition?
Absolutely?
Well, I guess I'll kind of start out with a little bit of a metaphor. You know, are you going to let your friends or family get on a commercial airline go on a flight when you have a pilot who's never landed a plane. You know, County Village is dangerously unqualified the whole the position of prostenic attorney, which is the most important elected county office for a number of reasons which I don't need to get in with you today, but you know, County Pillage has never prosecuted
a single case in her life. And I think about it, So we're going to hire somebody to somebody to run the most important office, tried to keep our community safe. And she's never handled a single criminal prosecution in her life. You know, she hasn't been in a courtroom in over twenty years. You know, a lot has changed at the crack cocaine days back in the early two thousands when she was you know, was a practicing attorney for a
short period of time. And I think the most telling about whether she's unqualified is she actually had she had let her law license lapse, and last year she had to actually re up her law license. You know, I'm a lawyer, and so I know how you know, you've I put a lot of work into getting that license, and it takes a lot of work to keep that license. She actually let that law license lapse and she had to re up her law license as she would even
be eligible to run this year. So, you know, and Melissa Powers had been a practicing attorney, she's been a prosecutor. She was a judge for some teen years in two different courts. She's heard thousands and thousands of cases, and there's no one better for this position and Melitsa Powers.
What are what are you being told about how this is going? I mean I have seen, I guess I've seen ads for both candidates on television. I'm a Kentucky voter, so obviously the BOE they're doing such a good job. I could never vote in your election. I don't want to. But so tell me what's the read you're getting Because you said you were positive at the start of this, and it's been Hamilton County has been like the city
of Cincinnati. I mean, at least Hamilton County is still kind of purple according to the last few elections, but Cincinnati has just died in the wool blue right now according to the most recent election results, and it's just been going that way more and more. So what is the source of your optimism?
Source of often is people see what's going on in the community, the lack of public safety. You know, they're reading in the paper and on social media about soft on crime, liberal judges that you know are not holding people with appropriate bailments, for not sending people to prison.
And you know, Melissa Powers is the one.
That's been fighting back against that. So you know, I talked a little bit about Melissa's record. Let's talk about the record that we know about connic pillage. You know, the only thing you can really go look at is when she was in the state she represented to the state rep and if you go up and if you dig into some of her voting, you know she she sided with the liberal politicians and judges every time she's up there. You know, she voted repeatedly against funding programs
that woul would support victims of crime. She sponsored a bill to make it harder for the police to investigate juveniles who commit violent crimes. And as we know locally, you know what's going on in juvenile court and the amount of violence going on there, she made that easier and more difficult for law enforcement to proscate this cas is. She actually also is a state representative, voted against legislation
that would have increased penalties for sex traffickers. And I could go on and on, but she's had a liberal agenda which has made our community less safe.
And Melissa's campaign is pointing that out.
You know, she's going to be on television, she's going to be on radio.
She has incredible endorsements.
People that have worked with her for many many years, and they know she's the right person to keep us safe and Connie Pillage is dangerous.
Well, let's talk since you were the Hamilton County Republican chairman, let's talk about the District one race for the House of Representatives, mister Orlandos Tanza.
Well, hopefully if any if you or any of your listeners watched the last two debates with Orlando, you know it was absolutely clear who is the better person to lead us in H one and.
That's Orlando Santa. You know, I don't know if you had the opportunity to meet Orlando, but everybody that does. And he absolutely likes up a room.
You know, top ten in his class at West Point military officer went on to get his CPA.
He's an attorney.
Uh, he was an assistant prosecuty attorney. He now runs the victims to sit there. I mean he he is a guy who is going to need.
Our country.
Uh.
You know, he's dedicated his life of service to military post family and if you watch that, you watch that debate, you will know that he's ready to lead us.
Well. Fantastic, Uh, and just your thoughts, Russell Locke, if any on our federal presidential election, and how do we turn things around in Cincinnati and Hamilton County? And do you do you think that is that is beginning to happen. I know that there have been chinks in the Democrats armor many places that have been pointed out out in this presidential election. I mean, there's even talk that Donald
Trump may win New York. I think that's probably not going to happen, but there's still it's for the first time in a long time, it's a possibility, at least in some people's minds. What about Cincinnati and Hamilton County and the presidential election?
Russell Well, I know what the You know again, look at the demographics of Hamilton County and you know it's been it's been challenging.
But I truly believe that when people are.
In that polling place, which hopefully they go and vote early this year, are doing their mail and ballot, I mean, they have.
To ask themselves whose policies are going to be better for the country.
You know, we absolutely just cannot take four more years of this, Harris Biden. You know, we're thirty four trillion dollars in debt, we have open borders, we have twenty five million illegal immigrants that have come in that is affecting the economy, public safety, and I think people are going to just look and say, we can't.
Do this anymore.
We can having a few more, you know, four more years of this and I think you know, people know that President Trump, with Shade Vans to the side, are going to return us to prosperity. And I think they're going to really be ready to support President Trump. And again, if you watch the debate with Senator Vance last week, I mean it was clear. I mean Senator Advance is ready to lead, He is ready to support the president and you know not still a line from the Democrats,
but it is time. You know, they were talking about turning the page. Well we need to turn the page on them and put President Trump and Advance back into the White House.
Any final thoughts, Judge Mark on Uh before we before we have to part ways here. I know, like you said, today is the last day to get registered. If you're not a registered voter or you're not sure in Ohio, today is the day, right.
Absolutely, and again don't forget no one.
Issue one, no one issue one.
You know, again, we can we can talk on and on and out that but you know, well.
Let's let's let's let's go ahead and bring back what an Issue one is for people.
Absolutely Issue one is as labeled as the anti jerrymandering. Again, we have outside special winterest groups coming into Ohio spending millions of dollars trying to monkey with our constitution again. You know, the voters of Ohio and.
Twenty fifteen and I think twenty eighteen voted.
Overwhelmingly by seventy percent protect us against anti jerimandering provisions.
And you know, here we go again.
You know, the Democrats can't win at the ballot box, and so now they're trying to change the rules statewide to give them.
An advantage they want to be able to take.
You know, have retired judges pick a group of unelected bureaucrats to draw these lines. You know, and even now, you know, the Secretary of State labeled it actually Issue one would put jerrymandering into our constitution, not take it out, not protect us, or put it in. And just last week the highest Supreme Court ruled that they agreed with that on the ballot language. And so this is bad
for Ohio. This is just an absolute power power grab, you know, fueled by foreign especially winterest groups you know that just want to rig our elections, and so we have to make sure that everybody votes.
Know on issue one.
Judge Russell Mock, thank you so much for your time this morning. Joe's mad at me because I've blown past the break, so I guess I better go take care. It's six forty one at fifty five KRCV talk station. Are you dreaming of? A Civil Rights Act? In nineteen sixty four bars sexual discrimination in the workplace? Sex discrimination rel A trial court in the sixth US Circuit Court of Appeals have ruled against this woman who is claiming she lost her job because she is straight. The Supreme
Court is taking up that case Marlene Ames. The Justice's last Friday, agreed to review an appellate ruling that upheld the dismissal of the discrimination lawsuit filed by Marlene against the Ohio Department of Youth Services. Arguments will probably take place early next year. This is another one of those big landmark cases that the Supreme Court will be hearing
in this new session about to begin. Ames worked for the department for twenty years, contend she was passed over for a promotion and then demoted because she is heterosexual. Both the jobs she sought and the one she held given to LGBTQ EI EIO people. The question for the justices is that the Sixth Circuit and several other appeals courts apply a higher standard when members of a majority group make discrimination claims. In other words, because there were
more straight people than gay or lesbian people. The standards higher. People alleging workplace bias have to show background circumstances, including that LGBTQ people made the decisions affecting aims, or statistical evidence showing a pattern of discrimination against members of the majority group, and the Appeals Court said that she didn't provide any such circumstances. I don't know if this is
true or not. I don't know if she lost her job with an Ohio agency, Department of Youth Services because she was not gay, but she's making that contention, and the Supreme Court has decided to take up the case the dismissal of that discrimination suit to find out. And also the other story which we kind of mentioned earlier. And you may have heard about a court in Clark County.
I guess the county court there has referred a case against Donald Trump and JD Vance by a citizens group to prosecutors for comments they made, supposedly wrong comments or untrue comments they made about the Haitian immigrants in Springfield. The Bridge Alliance, the Haitian Bridge Alliance, are making us trying to make us citizens arrest. They're like Gomer on
Andy Griffith trying to make a citizens arrest. But they because of the chaos and the threats that occurred after Donald Trump and JD Vance's statements about the Haitian immigrants in Springfield. And again, you drop fifteen to twenty thousand people who don't know the culture, don't know the language, don't care pretty much about any kind of assimilation into a new location, and you're gonna have issues. I don't
know if they were eating dogs and cats. That's been the one sticking point here is that there were stories being related and then retold by Donald Trump and Jade Vance about the Haitian immigrants in Springfield stealing people's pets and eating them. What I have heard someone witness firsthand is some of these Haitian immigrants, not all of them, stealing and harvesting geese and ducks. Geese are illegal anytime and the ducks. There's a hunting season for that. And
do they have hunting license? Oh wait, do they have driver's licenses while they're out driving cars illegally in Springfield causing accidents. I mean, you have to be on the
ground to actually know what's happening. And because the mayor of Springfield and the governor of Ohio say that these are untrue, that doesn't mean Diddley squat because the mayor of Springfield is probably just trying to keep his head above water with the influx of all these people who don't speak the language and don't know how to drive into his community and hoping he I guess they're getting
patting money from the government. I know the NGOs that help sponsor them and bring them in and get them temporary productive status, which doesn't expire I think till twenty twenty six, these fifteen to twenty thousand Haitians that were shipped into Springfield over the last few years. But I understand why the mayor would say, no, that's not true. He's got a town to run, and he's got a reputation to uphold and put the best face on. And the governor of Ohio, we know what a prize Mike
Dowine is. Do you remember COVID? Do you remember the lockdowns? Do you remember the spacey chick who was his COVID advisor, Jody what was her name? Yes, Amy Acton, that weirdo who had about as much credibility as all of the rest of the lockdown oriented people during the pandemic or
what I call the scamdemic. So, I mean, I wouldn't trust a word Mike DeWine says about anything because he's the head of a large political machine and got reelected in spite of his bungling of the COVID pandemic, like so many politicians and people that supposedly work for us, and the mayor of Springfield, I mean, he's going to put the best face on the town. He's a mare of so of course they're not going to cop to any kind of chaos calls by the immigrants themselves. It's
the chaos of Donald Trump and JD. Vance talking about the immigrants in Springfield that's the problem. But again we will see where that goes. I would say, like a lot of the other legal burning arrows that have been flung Donald Trump's way, it will end in nothing because there's nothing there. And then the claims that FEMA diverted funds to immigration efforts instead of for American citizens who are suffering right now by the thousands in North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. That's on the docket as we continue on this Monday morning, October seventh, the Somber anniversary of the attack on Israel by Iran and Homas coming up on six fifty five. Again, we'll take that break. Chris Mitherman will be with us about seven to twenty this morning. And so it goes the morning show on fifty five krs the talk station, the.
Latest on the election minutes away at the top of the album, because you got to stay informed and up to date. Fifty five krs the talk station. It is their votes stame Weird America.
First, we call it news staying updated on the election.
Fifty five krs the talk.
Station, thirty days until that election day. Early voting begins in Ohio tomorrow, and as Chairman Mox said, if you're not registered to vote in Ohio, today's the last day to do it. So get busy, register to vote and then vote period. In the story six minutes past the hour seven oh six Eastern time, Gary Jeff in for Brian Thomas. Five one, three, seven fifty five hundred is
the number to get in touch. And Jay had some comments on my comments back on the back of my comments about Governor de Wine before the top of the hour, Jay, how are you hey? Good morning, Gary Jeff, How are you going fine? Thank you very much. Hey.
There is a twenty nineteen inquirer Are article on Mike DeWine working with the Trump administration to settle refugees in Springfield from Haiti, and he has deep connections into Haiti with his school down there was named after his daughter, and he volunteered this without it making it public, so they sort of trickled in during the Trump administration. One thing I wanted to clear the record on is a lot of the folks that are there from Haiti in
Springfield are not here illegally. They came through the border, just like the people that are coming from Middle Eastern countries and China, so they haven't gone through the refugee settlement program, so they're technically illegally here and there, but.
They but they do have they do have temporary protected status. Don't they as a blank.
If they've gone through the process. I'm sure a lot of them have just dropped in and settled into life and haven't done those So there is a share of them. There is a share of them that are not legally present in the country. But all the rumors that swirl around about them having massive amounts of money on their debit cards, all that stuff, I can't even imagine living in Springfield. That city's been beaten up since you know, the International Harvester.
Days, and.
It's it's never gotten back from having that happen. And to have twenty thousand people that don't know the culture, whether they're good or bad people, that mix is just going to be toxic. And that to know that the Wine worked with the Biden administration for that settlement without announcing anything or making a public or even having his fingerprints on it just ticks me off.
So it's been about five years. You said that Donald Trump may have been involved with the first the first trickle of the Haitian immigrants coming to Springfield.
Correct, it was after a hurricane that happened down there. Yeah, they did a lot of destruction. They brought in maybe three or fourth outdo three or four thousand from what I remember from that article. But after Biden took office and they had the massive surge across the border, that's when the rest of them came in, and that was cooperation with the wind.
Well, you know what that that sounds very similar to the rest of the illegal immigration problem that we are dealing with right now. Under Trump, it was a trickle, and under Biden it's been just an onslaught. It's been like a hurricane, like in gorgement into the country, and it's just it's it's obvious to anyone with eyes to see who was the better commander in chief when it came to dealing with illegal immigration. I don't think there's.
Any time else. I don't think it's a matter of enforcement on the Biden administration. I think this was on purpose. They opened the floodgates, they let it happen. They did it on purpose. It's not a matter of being inept or not able to do your job, may orcus as a demon. And this all happened for a reason for them, I think, partially to build up a voter base when they get all these people legalized.
Well, sure, and like I said earlier, you're not just firing the Democrat in charge in the White House, whoever that may be. But you're firing may Orcus, You're firing Buddhage Edge, You're firing Gina Romando, who is totally incompetent as college it doesn't know she I mean, she has asked a direct question about something that is supposed to be her purview and she has no idea. Oh, refer to the White House on this. So if you vote for Donald Trump and he wins, all these people go away,
go bye bye. All these incompetent DEI hires and everything else that has been associated with the Biden administration goes away, and people just think they're hiring a president. But what they're doing is they're hiring a new president who are we already have a track record of what he can do and did as President of the United States. But you're also hiring a whole new set of these department heads and secretaries for the Washington bureaucracy who may actually
know what they're doing, don't you think? Yeah?
Absolutely, I can't remember the name of the gentleman was there. Was Trump's last secretary of State. He was absolutely amazing. He was the best diplomat that I've seen in that role since probably the Clinton administration, even calling back all the way to Reagan. He kept the world at peace. He was strong, he was decisive, he didn't waiver, and he put America's interests first, and the world was calm. And look what we have now. The world's on fire.
We're in World War three. It's just getting started. Well, you're getting rid of all those those current administration.
Folks.
Is going to be great.
It's the only hope we have.
I mean, Pete Buddha Judge has spent most of his time in office learning how to breastfeed his adopted Thank you, appreciate your thanks for listening. Another JA, we got dueling. Jay's on the phone. Jay, you're on the air. What's going on? Jay? Yeah, that's you. We went from one, We went from one JA to another. J Great.
Hey, I just want to build on the previous day he got.
I think, unless there's a couple of articles, I think he got something a little bit wrong. In twenty nineteen, Trump reached out to each of the governors in each of the fifty states and through an executive order and said, we're going to push the decision to immigration back to the States, which I agree with. And he went to all of the governors via Mike Pompeo and said do you want to do you want more immigration or do you want to shut it down? And Mike DeWine said, absolutely,
we want more immigration. And if you just do a search on the Wine immigration Pompeo, you'll find it all over the place. I'm looking at an article right now from Idea Stream Public Media says dew Wine pushes back on White House immigration policy and the gentleman is right.
The Wine has had.
Decades of relationships of talks. In this article, He's been to Haiti over a couple hundred times, has a school that is now defunct called the Becky DeWine School down there in Haiti, was working with the Catholic Church down there in Haiti. And with there being over three hundred countries around the globe, I find that it is statistically off the charts significant that Springfield is overrun with Haitians.
At the same time, when we have a governor who has this close tie with Catholic charities of some sort down in Haiti, and I think it's way past time for answers. So so Trump The only thing that the previous Jay got wrong was Trump wasn't pushing for immigration. Trump was trying to shut it down. And Trump was asking the governors and let the governors choose, and unfortunately thirty out of the fifty governors said no, we're good,
let them. You know, we want more immigration. Only twenty said no, thanks, appreciate to help, mister pres and it shut it down. We're good, we don't want any more in our state.
Well, it's you know what, and Jay, it's similar to Trump's real stand on the abortion issue, he says, and rightly so, because the Supreme Court ruled it that this is an issue that is a state's issue, not the federal government. And yet he's being tagged with being someone who wants a federal abortion man. Trump Trump knows the Constitution, and he has been trying to follow it. Uh, you know, directly in opposition with what the Democrats and Kamala Harris are saying about him.
Right right, Well, what I do think, and I do applaud the previous Jay. We do need to get more word out, Derek, because it is silent about the Wine's culpability with all of this that he was given the opportunity with a president in the White House saying, okay,
it's your ball, what do you want to do? And his answer was and you read the article, it talks about how Ohio has a rich heritage, We've got excellent systems in place, we've been extremely successful with controlling immigration, and there was no reason to change anything.
So why doesn't he step.
Up to a microphone or why doesn't somebody put a microphone in front of him and say explain yourself? But again he sits there quietly with his hands in his pockets, and everybody points to the what's going on down in DC. We don't have to go any further than Columbus.
All we need is.
Journalists who have some backbone and can get off their ass and go ask tough questions up into Columbus. But it seems to be that the silence is deafening.
Well, Jay, thank you very much, and I think that's excellent, excellent advice. But will anyone follow it real quickly? West side? Jim, how you doing, my brother?
Good morning, mister Walker.
How I'm going fine?
I'll make it quick because mister Smitherman is coming on in about fifteen minutes and there's nothing better than mister Smith.
It's actually coming on early today, so please.
Well, I'll make this quick when we vote this time, Remember this is a local go down the whole ballot. Our judges are probably one of the most besides Melissa Powers,
who basically controls the judges to an extent. That is the most important part of this election because we learned through the last one without two hundred and seventy five years to three on as far as capabilities and experience, that we've got a serious problem in Hamilton County with these inexperienced judges and the lack of the quorum in their courtrooms. So I'm imploring everybody to make sure you
go down that whole ballot. Just don't skip it at Donald Trumps and walk off or even Sonza, which you've got to vote for both of them. Go down with gop dot com on the judges, learn who they are, and make sure that you vote for the Republicans.
And that's all I got, buddy, Well, and.
That's all we need. But you're right, there is nothing more important, especially on a grassroots local level, than making sure our judicial system has confident people who will follow the law. Thank you, sir, Chris Smitherman coming up next on fifty five KRC, the Talk Station.
Inexperienced prosecutors across the country.
At seven twenty one, earlier than usual, we get Christopher Smitherman live prime time on fifty five KRC the Talk Station. Hello, Chris, how are you?
Oh?
Thank you so much for having you on a little early, No problem, I very much appreciate it. And I've been listening to your show this morning. A great lineup already. I heard the Republican Party chairman Judge Mack come on and given update. Here's what I want to touch on, brother, and why I wanted a little extra time. One. I want to just acknowledge Breast Cancer Awareness Month. That's happening, Amen right now.
Since I'm since I am living with a breast cancer survivor. Chris, Amen again, Well.
First, congratulations to your to your spouse who is a survivor. And that's what we're in the game to do. We want to meet and talk and have survivors. My wife unfortunately did not survive breast cancer, but but we look to women like in your life who are survivors. I sit on a board, the Karen Wellington Board, and our job is just to put fun on the calendar for women who are fighting breast cancer. So as they're going through their treatments, we send them on trips, we have
them have spaw days. We just love on them to just make their moments normal. And I know you know that having a woman in your life that has gone through treatment, so I just want to acknowledge that this is breast cancer awareness. We love seeing the ribbons, we love seeing the pink shirts, we love seeing the pink hats, we love seeing men involved with this, like yourself, and
we just want to love on those. And if there's a woman listening to you and I today, we want them to know that they're going to make it, that their treatment is going to be successful, and that we care very deeply for them. So thank you very much for allowing me to start off by just talking about breast cancer awareness.
Mine, Chris, I got to tell you, and hearing you speak about it, I know how passionate you are because of your own personal experience and once you went through with your wife. But we were so blessed by the fact that the cancer had not spread at the time
it was caught. And I still say that that early real screening is the best thing that anyone can do when it comes to treating breast cancer because the earlier, you know, the more they can do and the more they can work to keep it from, you know, becoming a life ending kind of situation. But we were so blessed. We walked into doctor Gunther's office for the consultation after they had found the mass, and he is the picture
of it as we're in the office. First thing, they were still doing some COVID protocols with masks at the time, and we got in the room and he said, you guys want to wear these masks? No, is it good? And we all took our masks off. That was that was strike one in the right direction. The second thing is he has the sonic sonic image of the cancer, the little white dot there. He said, you know, I got to tell you I like this. He said, I like this tumor. And we're like, look, you like this tumor?
He said, because it's it's what I call a wimpy tumor. And they were able to get it all. They took a lymph note out of course, to make sure that there was no cancer surrounding where they had taken the wimpy tumor from and and then it was radiation and no chemo. So we were very very lucky, very blessed that it was caught early and we had the kind of quality of care. But the story is different for everyone, and then there's always the danger of recurrence once you.
Have That's all very true, you know, But I want to say to you first First, your story is just a heartwarming for me. And again I can't stress and those who have who have had breast cancer and survived, whether there is a widower who's listening, we love to hear those success stories like yours, that wimpy tumor that was treated, and your wife is a survivor because she can spread the word and give so many other women hope right that there is a cure and that there
is a way to treat. And I will again stress that anyone listening who would like to nominate someone for the Karen Wellington Gift, just go to our website at www dot Karenwellington dot com. We were mean Pamela, my wife, Pamela and I benefited from the Karen Wellington Foundation where they put fun on our calendar, end of life, four stage and it was a beautiful weekend downtown with our
entire immediate family and Pamela's mother. And it's something that my daughter, who is now sixteen at the time she with ten, still reflects on, still remembers that trip and the fun that we had with pam. So that's what makes the Karen Wellington Foundation so wonderful and so beautiful because we're not there to deal with more treatment. We're there to put fun on the calendar for those women.
Oh, it's such a great, great way to help. Chris, I'll tell you what. We got plenty more of time together if if you will allow us more time, and we're going to take a quick break and come back. Okay, thank you, brother, you got it. Chris Smitheman with us on the Morning Show at seven twenty seven fifty five KRC, the Talk station. A minute of Hope is nice. Day to day. We're starting out cool around fifty two right now, on our way to a high of seventy. Here's Chuck Ingram.

Once again we are speaking with Chris Smitherman, as is the habit on Mondays. Garry Jampan for Brian Thomas with mister Smitherman, and again he wanted to highlight in the last segment again Carrington Karen Wellington Foundation to put fun on the calendar for people who are women who are and their families who are dealing with breast cancer during Breast Cancer Awareness Month October. Chris, so, a couple of things, A couple of things on the table. What else was?
What else was you know buzzing around your brain this morning that you want to do address anything?
Well, let me tell you, brother, this hurricane situation has so many tentacles to it. But let me just like the rest of the United States of America, if you're an American, your heart has to go out to those who live in Florida, Georgia, and specifically North Carolina. Today we have Americans who are suffering. They're not in Ukraine, right, They're not in Taiwan, right, they are right here in the United States of America, in the hills hills of
North Carolina. And we still have You have a death toll of two hundred and twenty five Gary, Jeff, You and I know that that death toll by the time we get back next Monday is going to spike dramatically because there are people right now who do not know where their children are, They don't know where their spouses are, they don't know where their grandmothers are because they were swept away in the water, houses and structures. People that
were on top of their roofs were swept away. The tragedy in all of this, Brother, is that we have an organization DHS and FEMA, who, in my opinion, has failed Georgia and North Carolina. See, the reason Florida does well is their governor is prepared organized. He has it because so many hurricanes like Milton, who's building right now and most likely will hit Florida in the next two days. But they are a state that they deal with it.
Not that they don't have death and destruction Gary Jeff, But the reality of it is they have a governor and a team that are prepared. We didn't know what was going to hit Georgia. We didn't know what was going to hit South Carolina because it hasn't happened there in a thousand years. So the reality of it is, this is when you need your government the most and to wait up and here a sending money to Lebanon
saying we're going to take care of them. We're gonna send hundreds of millions of dollars there when we can't find a helicopter to go into the hills of North Carolina and bring Americans home. Here's the reality, preach. You have people there, you have preachers, There'll be preachers. You have people there, brother who have high blood pressure, who needed their blood pressure medication over the last eleven days, and because they didn't get it, they're dying. They're people
that need oxygen, they're dying. See the reality of it is is we could prevent these things if we had a government that was prepared. Whether it's incompetence, whether it is political, I have no idea. All I'm saying is when you listen to the people on the ground, not FEMA, not the talking kids they're telling you, I don't know where the hell FEMA is. The people that are supporting us are our churches. The people that are supporting us
are our neighbors. The people that are supporting us are people who are coming here and volunteering and bringing their private helicopters and lifting us out of the hill. Now we know that the military and the Guard have arrived there in the last forty eight hours and they're lifting people out, but that's not what was happening over the last nine days, and people lost their lives because our
government wasn't prepared. And we have a White House that's still sending money to Lebanon, still sending money to Ukraine. Now listen, brother, those of you who support Ukraine. I'm not pooh pooing on you. Here's what I'm saying, Americans. First, we've got to be able to take care of our own people before we start taking care of the whole damn world.
Amen, and you know and Mike Johnson addressed the issue of the claims that FEMA diverted funds to immigration efforts, and he said, I understand why American people are disgusting, so breaking that down. And you brought this up, Chris in your diatribe. Here he said on Fox News on Sunday. The streams of funding are different. That is not an
untrue statement, of course, but here's here's what happened. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, whose mission is to help people in times like this, a natural disaster, and not to be engaged in using any pool of funding from any account for resettling illegal aliens have come across the border. This is what the Biden administration, Kamala Harris and Secretary Mayorcus of the DHS have been engaged in. Now. He also said that when may Orcus said they were out
of money, that's not necessarily true. So uh but but the entire administration, including their press secretary. You want to talk about a level, a level of incompetence, you need to look no farther than the White House Press Secretary Kareeine John Pierre, because in twenty twenty two, she said FEMA Regional administrators have been meeting with city officials on site to coordinate to coordinate available federal support from FEMA
and other federal agencies. Funding is also available through FEMA's Emergency Food and Shelter Program to eligible local governments and not for profit organizations upon request to support humanitarian relief for migrants. That's not what FEMA's that's not what they're supposed to be doing with any of our taxpayer money. Chris will take a quick break and come back for
one more segment. All right, brother, Yes, sir, bro you got a Chris Smithman with us on the morning show on fifty five KRCV talk station Steve Air with USA Installation. It's getting time to get your home ready for the fall and winter heating season. Our premium falling year walls is the end ye ever since they have started construction on the four seventy one, the Big Mac Bridge. Any kind of little hiccup like the accident this morning is going to throw your way off on your schedule, So
leave early if you got to. We continue our conversation with Christopher Smitherman on this Monday morning, October seventh, and Chris, today is the last day to register to vote in Ohio tomorrow the voting begins. Would you encourage people to vote early?
Brother, you couldn't have tieved me up any better. Look, there are sixty year olds listening to us right now, fifty year old, seventy year olds across this great state and any state that's listening all the way down to Florida. Millions of people who have never registered and never voted in their life. I want to encourage them listening to their brother right now, and you their brother right now, to do something different in this election and understand that
we need you. And today is the last day to get to your board of elections and register to vote. These races that are going to happen are going to come down to thousands of votes, even though millions of them.
Are going to be cast.
So if you're listening to me right now and you think that your vote doesn't count, it really counts. In this upcoming election, states will move by ten thousand votes even though millions of votes have been cast. Our friend, your friend, Jim Keeper, is right that when you do show up and vote, don't just vote for president, vote
down the entire ticket. Go prepared, meaning think about what you're going to do before you get there, because there are some positions that do not have designations, meaning of their political party, So you have to go in thinking, Hey, who do I want to vote for and what do I want to have happen here? Today is the last day to vote. I heard I heard the chairman mock say, this is a last day to register. Well, that means that thousands of people could listen to you and I
right now. Thousands of people who are not registered never vote if they're a seventeen year old. I register somebody on Friday or Thursday of last week who is going to turn seventeen next week, but they'll be seven, they'll be eighteen, I mean eighteen. Excuse me, they'll be eighteen next week, Gary, Jeff. But they weren't registered to vote. I could register them, which I did, and then they
can vote on November the fifth. So there's somebody around listening right now, going, man, I didn't even know my seventeen year old who's going to be eighteen by the time they get to the election, could actually register to vote and participate in this in this process. I love people like Jim Neal, specifically in our county. I want to make sure that we get a share that we can trust. Jim Neil I like him. I like Melissa Powers. It's very important. The only person out there. I really
trust her to take on criminals head on. And it doesn't matter here whether you're a Democrat or you're a Republican or like me and independent. I want my community safe. I'm going to vote my girl's safety. I have a sixteen year old daughter. I'm voting for safety, meaning if she gets in trouble, I want a Melissa Powers in the chair. That has nothing to do with what your political power is, whether the political position is, whether you're
a Democrat and an independent or Republican. I'm letting you know Melissa Powers is the best candidate there in the race. Orlando Sonza I support him. He's running for Congress. He's a west Point graduate, his wife's a west Point graduate. This is a lawyer, a prosecutor, good guy, very smart. Why wouldn't we elevate him to Congress to represent the great state of Ohio. It doesn't matter whether you're a
Democrat or Republican. If you're a veteran out there writing, you're thinking about who do I want to vote for? If you don't do the research and know that Orlando Sanza is a military veteran who went to West Point, served his country. Now is a lawyer and accountant, all of those things with a wonderful family man, with a beautiful wife and beautiful children. You might not go in and vote for him because you're a Democrat and he's not.
It doesn't matter. We're voting for the people. We want to make sure that we get a strong government on the At the other side of this election, which goes beyond what your political party is and who the President of the United States is, that you're voting for. Judge Shanahan is out there. I really like her. Joe Dieters, I really like him. I can go on and on and on. Just listen to what Jim Keeper said, Vote down the entire ticket, vote for every single race that's
on your ballot. That's a part of my spleensent that you set me up so wonderful for Gary jeff As. Today is ground zero, the last day to register to vote. The Super Bowl starts tomorrow. And don't be a talker. Don't just go to a bar with a T shirt on saying this is who you support and you're not a regis your voter, or you don't get out there and vote. The last thing I'll say to you is vote early. The game in this now has changed. Voting is thirty days in Ohio. Vote early, bank your vote now.
The reason you do that is that candidates can tell Gary Jeff whether you voted or not. And so if you get out of the way, meaning you vote and get out of the way, they can focus on those high risk voters who aren't participating, so they can knock on their door and say where are you are you going? Oh, I'm a traditionalist. I'm only going to vote on election day, Okay, but I want to make sure you show up on November the fifth. I know where you are. I'm going
to vote early. I'm encouraging others to vote early because the game has changed, and in order for your candidate to win, we've got to make sure we get a high voter turnout and that we are diligent. In my opinion about voting early.
When you mentioned Chris about the voter who was going to turn eighteen before election day and getting them registered to vote, I remember I got to vote in the first residential election in nineteen eighty where eighteen year olds were allowed to vote, and I was so thrilled that they were intrusting me with this piece of democracy, American democracy. I couldn't wait to go and vote, and I have
voted in every election since then. I consider it not only not only a privilege, but I considered it an honor to let my voice be heard because you know, and you made a good point about going to a bar with a T shirt on for who you support, but you're not registered to vote, and T shirts don't vote, and T shirts aren't going to get your candidate over
the hump. But you can. And this is so important because there were so many places around the world to this day, Chris, where you don't have any voice, and the people who are governing you you don't have any choice in what you are you having to live with and deal with. In America, you have that choice, You have that voice, and to let that voice remain silent is just a damn shame, I think, And so it really is.
And look, Gary, Jeff. The purpose of government, in my opinion, the number one purpose is safety of its people, period, whether that's the military, whether that's the police, whether that's the fire Department. Those are examples of that, whether that's sanitation collection, that's a part of safety, meaning the government is in the business of safety. Listen to the candidates who are saying they're into safety and making sure that you're safe. I mean, I'm not interested in the next program.
I want to be able to walk outside my door and knocket shot. I want to make sure that China isn't knocking on our door and dropping bombs or having an experience like pearl Hart, which means that we have to have a strong military. I don't want to face our enemies with a broomstick. I want to face them with a shotgun. And so the reality of it is you have got to vote your safety. You also have to vote your economics. I'm telling everybody just go to
your neighborhood grocery store. Look at what it costs to buy a steak. Look at what it costs to buy chicken. Look at what it costs to buy eggs, look at what it costs to buy milk. Vote your economics, meaning why would you do the same, Why would you go in and vote in a way that's going to destroy your own home. That doesn't make any sense to me.
And so what happens is what politicians try to do is they try to distract you with shiny objects, make you talk and discuss about things that really don't impact your daily life. Talk to people in North Carolina right now, Talk to people in Georgia right now, talk to people in Florida right now, and ask yourself, what do you think they care about right now? They care about their safety.
They care about their grandmothers and their sisters and their daughters, and their churches that have been washed away, and a government that cannot come and save them but can send money to Ukraine. Now I'm not saying I don't care about Ukraine. I'm saying I care about America. And if my mother was stranded in the hills a dog on North Carolina, I'd be saying, government, where are you? Stop getting on Twitter? And FEMA director saying, oh, we're doing
a great job. When you talk to the churches and you talk to the volunteers and they say, we don't know where they are, we haven't seen them, they should be leading the effort and organizing the rescues, not having some guy with a private helicopter flying into the hills and bringing out grandma who doesn't have oxygen. This is the stuff that insenses me. And I'm listening to voters out here who are focused on things that don't make
any damn sense. Vote your security, vote your economics, can unities, and your children. I don't want my daughter to be raped by anybody, but let me tell you, having somebody in this country that shouldn't be here, that rapes her and murders her, that has my undivided attention and Georgia experience that so many of our states experience, that I'm voting my daughter's safety. That's what I'm voting when I go into this election, because I don't want to wake up and be a hypocrite.
Precisely why I'm voting for the America First candidate. Uh great, Christopher Smitherman, Thank you so much, as always.
Thank you, nice good night. Follow me at vote Smitherman. At Vote Smitherman. Follow me. I will do my very best to educate you. I'm not going to tell you who to vote for, but I'm certainly going to provide you information on my ex account, on my Twitter account that will walk you through the process. Think for yourself.
God bless and God bless this Flea event. All right, it's seven fifty fifty five krs the talk station times. Voting in Ohio starts tomorrow. It also begins in Dearborn County, Indiana tomorrow, Tuesday, October eighth, today the last date to registered to vote in the state of Ohio. So that out of the way, Gary jeffn for Brian Thomas on this Monday, October seventh, twenty twenty four and ushering in
a new hour, let's talk to Mark Mix. Mark, of course, is the president of the National Right to Work Committee, has a two point eight million members in their policy organization, public policy organization. He also serves as president of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation. And when we scheduled this, Good morning.
Mark, Good morning, Gary Jeff.
When we scheduled this, it was on the premise of the dock workers going on strike on the East Coast and Gulf Coast that has at least temporarily been resolved since we first wanted to talk to you. But tell me, tell me what you know about the situation where the negotiations are and could this blow up at any time?
Well, it's certainly Kenn, Gary Jeff, and I'm reminded of that great line from Animal House by John Belushi, it's not over until we say it's over.
And was it.
Over when the Germans bomb for Harvard? I think that's how the dialogue went, or something like that. Yeah, But anyway, you know, this is basically a political issue now, Gary Jeff, as you might imagine, the politics of the supply chain shutting down the East Coast was way too much for the Biden Harris Harris Biden administration to take, and so I think there probably was a finger on the scale to get them to agree to basically put it aside,
put it on after the election. And I mean, obviously, the one thing the union's got for doing that was a sixty two percent increase in their wages that was above what the United States Maritime Alliance had offered to you know, their last negotiation with a fifty percent pay increase, a triple the employee retirement contributions, strengthen the healthcare options, and maintain the current language about automation. But this is not over, Gary Jeff, as you said, you know it was.
I think you said inside my quotation marks over. It's not over until the union says it's over.
Right, exactly, and now there was there was a possibility of Biden invoking the Taft Hartley Act to end this. Should he have or is that? Is that overreached by the federal government?
Mark Well, I mean, it's not an overreach. It's not something that's mandatory. The Taft Hartly Act allows the President of the United States to basically say there's going to be an eighty day cooling off period in any strike that affects national security, the economic safety of the country. Those are the kind of the criteria. I know that sounds pretty vague and pretty general, but there's no requirement.
Unlike the Railroad Labor Act, which has specific rules about how a strike occurs in the railway or airline industry, there was no mandatory requirement for the president say hey, we need a cooling off period. It was purely political.
They could have done it, but I think in this case, after the railroad strike, when the Biden administration crammed down a contract on the railway unions, there was real anger by the union officials there, and I don't think Harris were well, I don't know what Biden wanted, but I don't think Harris wanted that. As we head into what four weeks to go to the election, so he didn't have to do it. Basically, what he's done to Facto
by getting this agreement is he pushed it out. And you know what, Harold Daggett, the president of the International Longshoremans Association, which controls the porch from May all the way around to Houston, what he said is, yeah, go ahead and vote tap Hartley. You think my men will go back on the pier and they'll make what eight moves an hour as opposed to thirty or thirty five moves an hour? He said, the employers will still have
to pass, but we won't do any work. So that's his response to the Taft Harley implementation.
And what's some background on this? On this guy was a dagget you.
Said, Harold Gaggett.
Yeah. He is not the most savory of characters, is he.
Mark Well, he's.
Been investigated by federal prosecutors for being involved with organized crime, and several of his associates at the International Longshoreman's Association have been convicted of various operations with organized crime and gambling and other things.
That that are.
I mean, you just do this stuff on the port, Gary Jack you. You know, there's a there's a poker room there in a gambling room and a booky room. I suspect I don't know these things. But yeah, he's been the president of the union for a long time. And I think another part of this whole settlement, Gary Jeff, was the fact that he became a central focal port part of the debate over the labor dispute. I mean, this guy's making nine hundred thousand dollars a year living
in a seven thousand plus square foot home with Beley convertible. Yeah, Bentley convertible in a five car garage. Now, most of the common folk out to be like.
You and me.
You know, we enjoy our homes and are in your case here, I think your dog you spoke about a little bit earlier, But I don't know. Bentley convertible sounds pretty nice, and that's not the common man's mode of transportation.
It's in my.
View, I mean, all unions are not created equal, and I think you'd be the first to admit that mark. But it just seems like, I mean, and that knowing his nine hundred thousand dollars salary and all the things you just mentioned, made me reminisce back to the lovely days of Yasser Arafat. And here's where the analogy is apt because Yasser Arafat, who was chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization for years before he died, always claimed that
the poor oppressed Palestinians he needed to help them. When he died, they found nine billion dollars in a secret bank account in Switzerland and the poor Palestinians were still starving. So I mean, oh my gosh, daggot sounds just like Yasser Arafat to me in that respect. What is the National Right to Work Legal Foundation working on these days?
Mark, Yeah, Well, we're interested in this because I think one of the elements of the contract area Jeff, is going to be a drive to get the United States Maritime Association, which is the forty kind of shipping members. These are people from Europe and the Far East and Asia in those places that are negotiating with the unions over the use of the ports in the United States of America. So these ports, as I mentioned, from Maine
to Houston. We're worried that one of the conditions that they're going to negotiate is that there can be no non union employees on the docks anywhere on the East coast right now. South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia all have what's called a hybrid labor model, which allows non union employees to work side by side with union employees.
And so I think one of the things they're going to demand is that those non union employees be fired and or have to take a demotion and time served and end up in the hiring hall with zero experience. And we're worried about that. We put out a notice to port workers around the country that could they have rights and they can talk to us about their rights. But that's a pretty important part of all of this
as it relates to the ports. On other issues we're helping and being October seventh, I will tell you we've got a lot of work on behalf of Jewish graduate students around the country at various universities like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who are Gary Jeff who are forced to associate with unions that are fomenting this Palestinian hamas has unrest on the campuses. They're forced to pay dues or fees to that union. They're forced to associate with
that union. That's literally calling for the end of the Israel state and the boycott, divest, sanctioned agenda, all of that. So we're working with them, and then were working with employees all across the country to exercise their rights, not to get out of unions or beat up on unions at all, but to exercise basic individual employee rights in the workplace. And there's a lot of work to do, fortunately or unfortunately, I guess, Gary Jeff.
What do you think about the non endorsement of Kamala Harris from the Teamsters and also the International Brotherhood of Firefighters.
Yeah, well, that's a very interesting story and one that it comes with really a very simple solution. That is that, unfortunately for the Teamsters, they pulled their membership on who they supported for president, and I think in two polls they've almost sixty percent of the teams were said they supported Donald Trump. And for Sean O'Brien, the president of the Teams for the last year and a half or two years, to come out and say, yeah, our wholehearted
support goes to Kamala Harris. He's a politician. To Gary Jeff, he has to run for office. And I think what he did, as he said look, if we just endorse no one will probably not cause as much trouble if we endorse Trump when it came to the rest of the union, the labor union movement, because those two I think both those unions, the firefighter or the police unions, excuse me, and the firefighters union and the Teamsters, they understand if their membership is supportive of Canada. That the
union officials. And there's the point. There's the rugguary, Jeff. That disconnect between union officials and rank and file workers is growing wider and wider all the time because of the radical positions that many union officials are taking on political issues and political candidates.
Have you got about five more minutes, Mark, I do? All right, fantastic, take a quick break and come back with Mark mix the president of the National Right to Work Committee and also president of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, on the doc workers strike or not strike and everything else revolving your right to work in America. It's eight fifteen fifty five krs the talk station.
There are two types of pain in the world.
Chuster, it's eight nineteen or so on this Monday, October seventh, twenty twenty four. I'm Gary Jenny in for Brian Thomas on fifty five KRC, the talk station, and we're talking to Mark Mix for the next few minutes again for the National Right to Work Committee and the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation. Mark, tell me a little bit about what you do, because I mentioned in the previous segment and you agreed with me. All unions are
not created equal. Old unions are evil or compulsory. But what exactly are you working on these days?
Yeah, Jary j that's important. I mean, the ability to exercise your rights in the American workplace is not anti union or pro union. We believe that every worker should have the right to join a union. They choose to
do so and choose that voluntarily. But unfortunately, for from federal labor law going back to the nineteen thirties, union officials have a unique position in between employers and workers in that they can force workers that never ask for, never wanted, never vote for a union to basically give up their rights to association and ced it to a
private organization. And then, in the states that don't have right to work laws twenty six states do have, twenty four don't, you can be forced to pay as a condition of employment in order to get or keep a job. So our job at the National Right to Work Committee from a legislative standpoint is to help promote right to work laws and states, protect the right to work laws that around the books, and basically keep track of the legislation at the state level that gives union officials more
power over workers. So that's a really important part of
the legislative side. On the litigation side, we have nineteen staff attorneys who represent employees for free, helping them exercise their rights in the workplace when it comes to the compulsion and the force that exists in federal law, and also about issues like these Jewish students at MIT and Dartmouth and the University of Chicago and New York University and the City University of New York who are forced to associate with the union that's really contrary to who
they are, their religious beliefs, their ideological beliefs, their philosophical beliefs. So helping employees navigate that labor policy that is almost what we're getting close to one hundred years old now in a different time, in a different place in the United States. We're trying to help employees understand their rights and protect their rights in the workplace. And those rights do include under federal law the ability to join together
collectively to amplify their voice in the workplace. And we're not trying to unsettle that at all. But what we're trying to do is eliminate the compulsion and the force that exists in federal law and in state laws in some cases.
Yeah, it's so often misstated that if you have if you're a right to work person, that you're anti union, and is simply not the case. But it's made just to it's more of a strong arm union tactic. And it is incomprehensible to me that a student at MIT would be forced to join a union basically that is supporting people that thinks that that Jewish student should be dead. It just I can't believe it in America, how that's could happen. I know that, I know you've worked on
many cases in Ohio with your organization and others. We've discussed that in the past. And didn't Joe Biden come out and say that he was in favor of ending all these right to work laws in those twenty six states you mentioned, isn't that true?
Yeah?
He absolutely did, and so did Kamala Harris. You know, Joe Biden said there he said, and I'm trying to quote here Gary Jef because I can't deal without a small cause she's he said, let me be clear, there should be no right to work anywhere in America.
Not a joke.
Not a joke.
So that was his framing.
I don't know whether he knew what he was talking about or not at the time. And Kamala Harris says, look, we need to stop, we need to debates, the overturn all the right to work.
Well was in the country.
That's her position on the right to work.
So they believe that the secret to the American enterprise and the American experiment and self government is to force people into unions, force them to pay union dues, and then everything will be just honky dory. So we disagree.
I think the American people disagree. We did a poll with Scott rasp Musen, a very well respected polster with the Rescumusion media group that showed that eighty two percent of all Americans believe it's wrong to force workers to pay union dues or fees to get to keep a job.
Union households people with union union members in their households, seventy nine percent agree with us that no one should be forced and that there's a reason for that, Gary jef it's people that join unions voluntarily that want to be in the un they're inherently stronger members of the union. They love what the union does for them, and unions
have done good things for workers. The one thing they won't do is good for workers is continue to allow union officials and continue to demand that every worker pay them dues in order to work in America. It doesn't make any sense. I mean, when you compel people and force people to do something, they're not as enthusiastic as those that would do it voluntarily. And that's a message
for labor union officials. If they want to grow their ranks, go out and represent the workers that want your representation. Help them focus on the shop floor instead of politics, and you will be just fine.
A lot of our listeners think that the federal government is coercive. You've got to have somewhere to turn where you're not being forced to do something and enjoy your life liberty and pursuit of happiness. And I think you guys do great work and I always glad to have you on any show that I'm doing. Any last word for anybody here in the last minute or so, Mark Mix.
Well, i'll reemphasize what you talked about it in the segment before mine is people need to go vote. This is a grand experiment in self government. If we don't exercise that right, we get what we deserve. And you know we complain about government, just look in the mirror because it's we the people. We're the ones that actually make these decisions. And so as we close out here, Gary Jeff, and I assure you will remind people more as the site show goes on. But they've got to
get out and vote. They've got to cast their vote, they've got to let their views be known, obviously by secret ballot. But and to your previous guest, I mean this election will be decided by maybe tens of thousands of people across the entire country, right across the entire country, Gary Jeff. So that's what I encourage people to do. Go vote, make sure your voice is part of what this will look what our government will look.
Like going forward.
All right, Mark Mix from the National Right to Work Committee, thank you so much for your time as always, my friend, and with that will break. It's eight twenty five at fifty five KRC, the talk station. The Simply Money Minute is sponsored by Emory Federal Credit Union.
This is this Simply Money Minute with Amy Wagner from all.
Rations to Chuck Ingram just found under after this weekend. He's a grandfather for the third time, and this time it's a boy. Congrats Chuck, Gary Jeff, and for Brian Thomas. On this Monday, October seventh, and coming up on eight twenty nine, Our next guest is the deputy executive director of the Institute for Legislative Action. We'll find out what that is and why she's here right now. Jennifer Breeman, Good morning, and welcome to the show.
Good morning, Gary Jeff, thanks for having me on this morning.
Well, thanks for agreeing to be on. It's great to have you. The Institute for Legislative Action is supporting one Berning Marino for the US Senate seat currently held by Shared Brown, and I'd like for you to explain why.
Well, you know, o Himans have a long of respect in valuing our Second Amendment freedom that continues today, but Shared Brown is out of step with the citizens of
Ohio when it comes to gun rights. He's been voting for extreme gun control measures for over three decades in Washington, and now we have a great opportunity while binding gun owners in Ohio have a great opportunity to fire shared Brown this election and ENTERI endorse Bernie Marino would be a champion of the Second Amendment and our right to self defense in the US Senate.
Right what kind of things, as Sharon Brown suggested, in the way of gun control, that you find in definite conflict with the Second Amendment, which says for anybody that doesn't know, and many people who are anti gun rights in this country, politicians wise anyway, say that there are limits. I don't see any limits in the Constitution to the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights. It says the right to own and bear firearms shall not be infringed upon.
And I think that anything that comes close to gun control is an infringement, is it not.
I couldn't agree with you more. And you know in Washington, Senator Brown he is consistently voted with gun control extremists like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi to ban lawfully own firearms magazines. He has voted to fund red flag confiscation laws and opposed right to carry reciprocity. And you know, when it comes to judges and confirming of judicial nominees, Senator Brown consistently backs the liberal judges that don't even value the Second Amendment as an individual right.
Well, it's kind of odd that the same people who are claiming that Donald Trump is a threat to the Constitution, the constitutionality of the United States, the threat to the oath he took to defend the Constitution, are seemingly wobbly need when it comes to both the First and Second Amendment. And that's the other thing that a lot of people don't particularly understand, Jennifer Breeman, is that the Second Amendment is the reason that we still have a first amendment
in this country, the right to freedom of speech. But Tim Wall's, a current vice presidential candidate on the Democrat side, you know, says there's limits to freedom of speech in this country, freedom of thought, much less your right to own in bear firearms, even though he's a gun owner himself,
you know, and cast as in every man. But back to the Ohio race, what has Bernie Marino said specifically that would differ and is it just as plain and simple as what we're talking about and the right to own in bear firearms as an American citizen, or is there even a greater difference or distance between them.
Yeah, Bernie Marino has entery end has the full endorsement of the National Rifle Association. He has pledged his support to confirm progun judges to the court if elected to the US Senate. He has expressed his supportive right to carry and right to carry reciprocity legislation. He opposes government bands and confiscation. You know, when he takes an oath hopefully when elected to the US Senate, you'll pull the constitution. He will do just that when he gets there.
He has our full backing.
I know, I know, we'll probably get to this in a minute, but you know, our our pack is fully behind him and has expressed that through our huge ad buy. Last week we went up on the air in Ohio with commercials uh counting our our endorsement of him and backing his election to the US Senate.
Well fantastic. I know that this is such a crucial election in so many ways, in so many races, and you guys are focusing on Ohio and getting Burning Marino elect to you do understand the uphill battle you're you're facing here And I don't say you're tilting at windmills at all, Jennifer, but you understand how hard it is to unseat a sitting senator. I pray that this time
it's going to happen. But you know what the odds are, right, you know what you're up against and all the dark money you're up against that's supporting Shared Brown.
Surely we do know.
But you know this US Senate race and Ohio is shaping up to be one of the closest in the country. Our recent polling is showing that the race is tightening. We expected to continue to tighten. That's why we have put our full backing behind Bernie Marino and why we have released a seven figure ad buy that will run through election day, highlighting the dismal record of Shared Brown and with early in person voting starting tomorrow, as you know,
we are encouraging tomorrow actual eight. We are encouraging every freedom loving Ohioan to get out and vote Bernie Marino for US Senate.
How can people find out more about your organization.
Jennifer Sure, so I encourage them to go to NRA PVF Political Victory Fund and r APVF dot org. There you can find out more about Shared Brown's, like I said, dismal record on the Second Amendment, and to learn more about Bernie Marino and his commitment to upholding your Second Amendment.
Right. Thank you so much for your time this morning, and good luck to you.
Thanks for having us.
Take care you bet good one.
Eight thirty five. I'm a Kentucky resident, but I'm I'm rooting full bore for that cause and that man, because what I'm hearing is exactly what you need to know. Eight thirty five at fifty five KRC the talk station. Men, if you're suffering for still three and a half four years seems like it. But early voting in Ohio begins tomorrow October eighth, as it does I know in Dearborn County, Indiana, because Michael emailed me and let me know that there's
early voting going on there tomorrow as well. Today as the last day to get registered to vote in the state of Ohio. So if you're not registered to vote, what the heck are you waiting on? I don't know if you saw any of the Sunday morning programs, I'll confess I did not. But on MSNBC yesterday, Andrea Mitchell, who's been a commie as long as as she's been on TV, said yesterday that Kamala Harris is struggling to
resonate with white and black male voters. No kidding, I think she's failing to resonate with almost anyone but your lefty suburban housewives clutching their pearls and praying that Donald Trump doesn't get near the White House. But she said yesterday on the Press that Harris needs to show up more in the media because she's not being seen as a heavyweight end quote. There is nothing about Kamala Harris that suggests that she is a quote heavyweight, end quote.
She's been one of the most lightweight politicians. Now, how she's ascended to this level is up for discussion, and there are many people that suggest that heals up. Harris had a whole lot to do with Kamala's rise in political circles, starting with Willie Brown and San Francisco going up to now. I don't know about that because I wasn't there. But Mitchell went on she's got such a big problem with men. She proceeded to also blame misogyny as one of the reasons Harris wasn't being taken seriously
among both Republican and Democrat men. But she needs to show up in the media more. Well, the more she actually shows up in the media, and I'm not talking about teleprompter's speeches and commercials. She needs to show up. The more she shows up answering questions that aren't preen pre screened, she's gonna look even more and more like the lightweight she is. I think there's misogynation in all of this. Black and white men, it's a big problem.
But also the business world, they don't think she's serious. Well, she's cackling like a hyena after being asked serious questions. She has a history of that. Why would you ever think she was serious about anything. She's not a serious person. We all know this. People aren't planning on voting for They're planning on voting against Donald Trump. They don't think she's a heavyweight. A lot of this is gender has nothing to do with her sex, absolutely zero to do
with Kamala Harris's sex. While black and white men, according to Andrea Mitchell are rejecting her since becoming the Democrat nominee seventy something days ago. You have to hold a single official press conference, and she stepped up interviews. This week, she'll make appearances on the View. I don't think that's gonna move the needle in getting respect from black and white men. The Howard Stern Show and that's another and
the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. These are not the venues that are gonna get her more respect or support from men. Howard Stern, what a nightmare he's become. Huh, the guy who used to be all about taking down the man has earned so much money and becomes such a leftist elite that he is the man, and he's preaching to us about Donald Trump and this election. Uh God, the same thing with Bruce Springsteen. Did you see that endorsement.
It's like he's at some diner somewhere. He looks like he just rolled off a homeless assembly line, and he's talking Donald talking Donald Trump as a threat to democracy in our country. And you know, you can, like, you can like the Boss's music, but I don't think anybody is going to be taken a cue from Bruce Springsteen as to who to vote for, or Taylor Swift for
that matter. But Andrea Mitchell says that people don't look at Kamala Harris as a heavyweight because she's not the Pennsylvania came under fire over the weekend, and they put the fire out, thank goodness, because they they scheduled their voter registration site to go dark on Saturday when Donald
Trump went back to Butler. Conservatives were blasting Pennsylvania's Department of State earlier this month for scheduling a system maintenance update to its voter registration website the very same day that President Trump was coming back to Butler, where he survived the assassination attempt in July. It would have taken the site offline for several hours, during the same timeframe
that the Trump campaign expected to register voters. The department did move the window of time for maintenance to later in the night because of the outcry. The official quote is the PA State Department voter registration website will be unavailable on Saturday, October fifth, the day that President Trump will be triumphantly returning to the site of the assassination attempt in Butler County, with all eyes on Pa. The
site will be down coincidence. This is according to a GOP activist, and they changed it because of this outcry in this uprising here. The website will undergo scheduled system maintenance and be unavailable Saturday, October fifth from six pm
until twelve am. But they changed it then to I guess ten pm until four am Sunday in Pennsylvania, so the Trump campaign could then register voters for the early voting that is going on right now in Pennsylvania, as it will be going on in Ohio, as I mentioned at the top of this Tomorrow eight forty six and some change. Gary jeff In for Brian Thomas this morning on fifty five KRCV talk station put the wraps on this one on his Monday October seventh, twenty twenty four.
This story out of North New Jersey a lawsuit, and this is the third one filed against the American Dream Mega Mall by a visitor saying she was struck and seriously injured by one of the waist high motorized stuffed animals that people can ride around parts of the mall.
This lawsuit filed back in September the twenty third. A resident Milbourne resident Jaya Lee alleges she was walking through the mall while holding her baby when she was suddenly and violently struck from behind by a person operating a motorized version of an animal. She and her husband are seeking damages for medical costs and court costs. Again this is the third lawsuit. I never knew that you could
go and ride stuffed animals in them all. I never think that that would be something I would want to do, and yet the American dream Megamol has the visitors have to be at least four feet high in height to use the ride ons by themselves. Only one writer is allowed at a time, but exceptions are made for small children who can ride with a parent or caretaker. The animals can hold up to two hundred They're not animals, they're dressed up as animals. Can hold up to two
hundred and fifty pounds. Standing on foot rest not permitted, and eating and drinking while on the ride is discouraged. According to the website at the American dream Megamol, our animals are easy to maneuver and move at walking speed. Bumping into persons or other animal writers is strictly not permitted. Well apparently was permitted in this particular occasion, according to
this lawsuit. There was a lawsuit filed July nineteenth. In the March suit, a New York resident alleged she was struck by one of the motorized stuffed animals and suffered injuries to her spine that required surgery. If you're an adult, why would you be writing a stuffed animal at a mall? Anyway? There was a lawsuit that was filed this summer. A West New York resident alleges that he was hit in twenty twenty two by one of the motorized animals as
it was being ridden by an unsupervised child. Unsupervised children will be sold. I love those signs. But all three lawsuits alleged that the mall, its owners and dream writers operated the right ons in an area meant for pedestrians and mall patrons and say while they're listed as walking speed,
they can travel faster than somebody can walk. This is according to one of the complainants who fied the lawsuit, and a law professor at Seaton Hall said the suits raise a question about whether this idea is just dangerously or dangerous inherently that the idea of having vehicles that can travel that fast in a crowded mole space and being ridden by children is just a dangerous situation. This is an East Rutherford, New Jersey where the Giants and
the Jets play the American Dream. Mega Mall doesn't sound like a place I want to go. Do it, But I don't want to go to any more, and I am not the only one. That's why they're closing all over the country, including here in Cincinnati, and been turning
into something else. One more time. The most important thing you can do, and if you're in Ohio, i'd put voting right up there, because the people you vote for will ultimately be making decisions on the public, public safety, and the public's well being because we give them the keys to that for us in this country. Whether that's a good idea or not, I'm not sure. It depends on who you vote for. But today is the last day to register to vote in Ohio. Tomorrow the voting begins.
Go vote, make sure you're registered to vote, and the other thing. And this is how I started this morning. There's probably nothing more important right now, at this moment than taking time and finding some way to help the residents of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida who have been absolutely devastated, especially in the mountains in North Carolina and Appalachia, by the remnants of Hurricane Helene and the flooding and the muck. Have no water, no way
to get anywhere. The hospitals don't have the ability to take care of people who are sick. But do whatever you can. President Trump has a GoFundMe. Paige. You can find that the American Red Cross, Samaritans, Purse Matthew twenty five ministries are all excellent choices. And as my wife, who is a breast cancer survivor, says, during October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, women get your mammograms. She
had an enhanced mammogram. It detected something and thankfully, thanks to Almighty God and the fine doctors at Saint e she is now cancer free eight fifty five. That does it for me. Glenn Beck. On the other side, I'm Gary Jeffen for Ryan Thomas until the next time on fifty five KRC the talk station.
The twenty twenty four election, I was going to get to ba Kamala Harris and now President Trump's going to get into debater.
I've kind of picked off about that on fifty five KRC, the talk station.
