Introduction and New Year Recap
00:00:12
Speaker
Hello and welcome back to the Crooked Rivercast. I am Robert and joining me, of course, every week is Tom. who are we? We're just two guys from Northeast Ohio just trying to figure out what's going on in our state.
00:00:23
Speaker
Oh my goodness, this is show 43. Recorded on January 10th, 2026. A few weeks have gone by. Holy crap, we've got some stuff to discuss. Let's go. Let's go.
00:00:43
Speaker
In the morning, Rob. In the morning. ready?
00:00:47
Speaker
I think so. I had a little bit of a break here, but I think I'm ready.
00:00:56
Speaker
don't do that
00:01:00
Speaker
it's little too early for that right yeah i'm wondering why i look so much louder than you and the thing but okay um we'll figure that out later uh so uh welcome back happy new year everybody happy new year tom Happy New Year.
00:01:16
Speaker
We ah we'd normally spend New Year's together, ah you know, mostly most years, right? used to have a party and everything, and this year i was gone. So what'd you do on New Year's?
00:01:30
Speaker
ah We didn't do anything really fun. Oh, I didn't either. i was just I just happened to be in Arizona at the time. but ah we Actually, we we ah cooked dinner for my in-laws. Oh, you did Good.
00:01:44
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. We cooked early dinner and then um because you know they're old. Yeah, blame it on them. Yeah, and well, yeah, I know. Four o'clock is like my time I want to eat. But ah we we had dinner. we We got out of there or before the lefty side of the family showed up. Oh, perfect timing. Perfect timing. And I was in bed by like 11 o'clock.
00:02:09
Speaker
Well, I think you beat me though. i think, well, I don't know. It depends on what time zone you're talking about. Cause I think I was in, did make it up for East coast New Year's? Stay up. I'm not even sure if I made it that long. They're two hours behind in Arizona. So.
00:02:22
Speaker
Right. I think I made it till 10. I definitely don't remember actually. And you know what? Not a, not one ounce of liquor or beer. Yeah. I just had, I just had some wine with much way too much to record the show. I think that's part of it. No, kidding.
00:02:39
Speaker
I don't know, i you know i was on vacation and I think I was doing, it just didn't feel like it. You know, it's just, ah yeah. Eating way too much, that's for sure. i Oh, it's gotta be that poor horse that we took horse riding, back horseback riding on a tour on. I feel sorry for that, buddy.
00:02:56
Speaker
ah But yeah, I thought um but thought a couple of interesting observations as I was traveling.
Travel Experiences and Preferences
00:03:05
Speaker
We took Frontier down there. First time i ever rode Frontier Airlines. They weren't bad, actually.
00:03:10
Speaker
I was expecting, had a low bar, very low bar. That's why they weren't bad. Right. well i um i know Well, after the first leg and we came back, I started. You're grading on a curve. Right. But then I started grading. I'm like, well, what if they were Delta? Yeah.
00:03:25
Speaker
What if they were American? And it was about the same. I think, you know, seats don't recline. Not that I ever used them anyway, because they barely recline anyway. And all it does is the person in front you just pisses you off by reclining in your face.
00:03:38
Speaker
So the seats don't recline. They were generally more comfortable. I thought the pads seemed to be sitting on Were they newer? haven't flown in Frontier. yeah. I think most of their planes are newer, but the seat, you could tell the seats are
00:03:53
Speaker
cheaper. Sort of like they don't seem, they seem a little like the arms don't slide up. The seats don't recline. The backs don't go back. You know, they're all these things. There's a budget, a budget model, but they actually have like extra leg room seats and all this. They don't have first class, but they have two, the first two rows, they blocked the center seat to make it quasi first class.
00:04:14
Speaker
But I, you know, for me, if if I get on a plane and ah if I do a trip without having to share my seat with a big fat fatty next to me, I'm thinking it's a win. That's what I'm always worried about. Like when I'm sitting at the airport gate, I'm going look around. I all right, who's the biggest person here? And hope, let's see how, when they get on. So they don't sit next to me because it, f yeah.
00:04:39
Speaker
I was just going to say flying is not fun anymore. I, I, I, it flying. I never liked it. but I never liked it, but it you know, now it's just, so is it is it the flying part you don't like?
00:04:53
Speaker
Like the actual. Yeah. I don't, I don't really, really like that. I just don't like the process. and That's the thing I don't like, you know, that's why i tell everybody I don't like flying. They're like, Oh, you're scared of flying. No, the flying part doesn't bother me. I mean, I'd like to actually be flying the plane, but then, you know besides that, uh,
00:05:10
Speaker
Well, yeah yeah, yeah, I don't, I don't care for it, but it doesn't scare me. It's just, yeah, whatever. Yeah, not being in control. and go I'm in I'm in a cylinder here. Tube. With wings. Very thin tube, pressurized tube. ah Yeah, it's really the people and the process. And speaking of the process, wasn't even going to bring this up, but it just dawned on me.
00:05:31
Speaker
We get through, and this is not the first time that kids have taken up a plane. It's probably the first time in, well, a couple of years, maybe. So my oldest daughter is a little older now.
00:05:42
Speaker
So we get through in Cleveland, we get through TSA. And here i'm I'm putting my belt back on and I'm trying to get my of my watch on and all this stuff as I wait for them to come out. and she comes out, walks her out to him me and goes, dad, I hate the TSA.
00:05:58
Speaker
You're older. And inside I went. Yeah. yeah And I was like, hold, hold. was like, what? She goes, oh, this is so still. I had to take my shoe. I go, I go, I understand. I thought the, I thought the shoe thing ended. And there's a, here's a pro tip.
00:06:16
Speaker
Depends on the machine. So there's a machine that there, there's a small, more rounded machine that you have to take your shoes, ah take a, I mean, you take your shoes off, but take your laptop out.
00:06:29
Speaker
And iPads you to take out, or I think, I think iPads and laptops, maybe just laptops, but, and then there's, so at at Cleveland, they have one of each at the, at most gates, I think, or at most checkpoints. And then there's another one that says like Smith detection on it. It's a little bit bigger, more rectangle, more squared off.
00:06:45
Speaker
That one, you don't have to take your laptop out of your bag. But you don't have to take your shoes off as long as you go into that super scanner thing that swirls around you, takes your picture of you like basically naked.
00:07:02
Speaker
Then you don't take your shoes off. So this is, yeah. So she, was I'm like, okay, I go, I get it. I go, I don't disagree with you at all. I go, but just remember one thing. She's like, what? I go, always be nice to the TSA agent because they can make your life hell for about 10, 15 minutes or just long enough to miss your flight. I said, just keep that in mind.
00:07:20
Speaker
They were doing a job and to be honest with you, oh ah who I wouldn't want that job and they don't, they don't, ah they don't get paid much.
00:07:32
Speaker
They're rummaging through people's crap all day long. That's, ugh. Have they stopped terrorist attacks yet? No, but usually what they find is about 90% of the tests that that when they test the system or something like that, like three quarters of when they do a test like that, you know, when they send somebody through, they usually get right through.
00:07:49
Speaker
yeah and And maybe here's... All I know is they got they got my $40 pocket rifles. Well, you know what? Speaking of that, yes. So when i before I go on a plane, I have to... I go on this de-weaponizing kick where I go look through all my like my briefcase everything. Well, bag, whatever it's called.
00:08:06
Speaker
Get all the weapons out because I've had that same happen before. But here's maybe here's why they tend to leak through some of these tests that they do. ah Going to Cleveland...
00:08:18
Speaker
I went, made through TSA check with my carry-on, which has all my bathroom goods in it, you know, toothpaste, all the other stuff. Going back from Arizona, my, going through TSA, going through the checkpoint, my carry-on luggage suitcase gets flagged to be pulled aside. I was like, okay, its it happens every once in a while. So he starts going through it and he goes, well and he he pulls out the,
00:08:45
Speaker
the little bathroom, the man bag I have for my bathroom stuff, I guess you call it. And he goes, you got toothpaste in here? And I was like, or lotion. When he grabs it, I go, oh, it's probably the the lotion I got in there.
00:08:56
Speaker
I just realized it's, you know, he goes, oh yeah. Yeah. So you want to check your bag? and I'm like, no, i'll throw it away. He goes, well, the toothpaste is kind of a little bit, but I'll let it slide. said, do you know, I flew here with that in my bag, used it.
00:09:11
Speaker
So it took some out and flew back. And you guys caught it, but Cleveland didn't. And he goes, yeah. he goes, yeah, some places make our life a little harder.
00:09:22
Speaker
i was like, well, so there's there's like inconsistency that they, that they go, ah, it's just lotion. Let it go through. Maybe, I may be actually accidentally giving somebody an idea, but I don't know. I think, um and it's the same here. And here's, here's where I was going to touch. It's the same traveling with a gun.
00:09:41
Speaker
have ever ever flown with a gun? I haven't, no. So case you haven't, or you haven't, but for listeners, case they haven't either, this process is not that difficult. You have to check a bag. You cannot carry it on, obviously, because, whoa, what's going to go? You know, who who knows what might happen?
00:09:59
Speaker
So you have to check a bag. So you go up to the ticket counter and say, I got to check a bag, and I to declare a firearm. And in Cleveland, they go, if they don't give you attitude to like they did me a couple years ago, they go, okay, here, is it properly secured in a lockbox? Yes. And they say, is blah, blah, blah. I say, yes. And they have you fill out this card, check box. Then I'm the only one with a code, blah, blah, blah. Check a couple things. You sign it. You put the card in the box, buy the gun case.
00:10:25
Speaker
And then they send it through. in Arizona, and I knew this because at this is many times I've gone to see my dad. And in the past,
00:10:36
Speaker
They escort me to a room upstairs, open my bag, have me open the lock box, they inspect the firearm, lock it back up, and then the bag gets put on the plane.
00:10:51
Speaker
Why the difference? This year it was very similar, but little bit easier. You just walk upstairs, they have a special machine that x-rays your bag to make sure that, I guess to make sure the firearm's properly stored, I don't know.
00:11:05
Speaker
But that was even easier because the guy didn't have to open and all that stuff and into a lot quicker. Right. So why, does that happen in Cleveland? Behind the scenes? But what happens if, you know, it's like, ah why the difference at every, air at different airports?
00:11:18
Speaker
So I was, I thought that I'd bring that thought was pretty ah interesting. One airport to the next. I'd much rather have the Cleveland one. much easier. i don't have to try to do a small talk with a TSA guy in the elevator.
00:11:30
Speaker
I try to avoid airports at all costs. Yeah, me too. Me too. When we first got out of COVID lockdowns for work, I traveled to Nebraska and I drove.
00:11:43
Speaker
That's how much I don't want to fly. I thought I was nuts. 12 hours. 12 hours isn't that bad. No, it's not. Um, I mean, if you if you take into account the time you're going to wait to get on board, to board the plane, and to get your luggage and all that stuff, it's not that much different.
00:12:02
Speaker
Right. That's what I say. it is. Six to eight hours. If you've got a five-hour, if you've got a five or six-hour drive, it's basically what you'd spend in an airport, in and out, plus the flight.
00:12:13
Speaker
If you were like if you're going to... I don't know, Kentucky or St. Louis, which is probably about, well, no, four hour flight is basically to I'm thinking like Tennessee, Nashville or something. Or Florida is like a four hour. four hours was to Arizona for my flight. Just over four hours. Oh, okay. On the way back, it was like three and a half.
00:12:34
Speaker
It was almost like a 30 or 40 minute difference. So what's a four hour drive? Four hour drive gets you Cincinnati, gets you to a little bit longer, it gets you Lexington, Kentucky. If you go. You could literally drive to Chicago in five hours, five and a half hours. And the it it's not that much more time than fine. Exactly.
00:12:51
Speaker
exactly where going. I've done that. I've flown, I've driven to Chicago five or six hours and I've flown to Chicago for work and the flight there was fine. On the way back, it got delayed.
00:13:03
Speaker
i picked another flight, which got delayed. i got back. It would have taken me, would have saved two hours driving. Right, right. But I a got i got it to build an extra meal at the airport on the on the company. So i guess there's that.
00:13:17
Speaker
It's not really worth it. But anywho, let's see. What else do have? Yeah. Oh, I want get me started on the, what I'm calling them, personal person dollies that they have at the airport.
00:13:33
Speaker
And the, you've never seen the person dolly I'm calling them. They don't have wheelchairs. They have people dollies. Oh, for fatties? Yeah, for fat fatties. And old people, right? Yeah, or mostly fatties. Generally for anybody who can't walk a long distance and stuff like that.
00:13:50
Speaker
Yeah, okay. I mean, I don't mind that for the seniors. so so And then you were there for two hours, and then our flight was delayed going out, so it's people watching time for me, and I'm watching these people. Okay, they were probably in their mid to late 50s, maybe pushing 60.
00:14:06
Speaker
Heavily overweight. He's pushing her. They were probably like 30. I was going to say, it's hard to tell sometimes because when you're, when you do that your body, it ages you. But anyway, they may have been in their, definitely in their fifties. I think he's pushing her right.
00:14:21
Speaker
And gets up to the gate, pushes her towards the front, you know, pushes her over to an area where she can sit. And then he goes and walks off and, and I'm, I'm like, do people who are almost retarded have a certain look?
00:14:34
Speaker
Because they do I think they do. And these people were, I don't think they were actually retarded. And I'm not to, I'm not trying to bad bad mouth the retarded people because we love those people. You know, the actual mentally handicapped people.
00:14:45
Speaker
and And so they, that, and now here's how I know they were almost retarded. <unk>s Here's a good sign. If your t-shirt shows the bottom of your big fat belly, you're almost retarded.
00:15:01
Speaker
i just started a whole new skit, Tom.
00:15:05
Speaker
so So he walks away. half I'm half retard and human. And he walks away. he's you know He's pigeon-toed, stumbling over through the airport, walking i mean walking like a retard, but i don't know what that means. but so you maybe He's walking like he's barely... His arms got on you because he's so fat. ah So then what he was doing was going to get another people dolly to pullt push over so he could sit in it.
00:15:32
Speaker
Why?
00:15:35
Speaker
Just did that. Why is he doing that? Well, he couldn't fit in the other seat? No, that's so they can get on the plane first. ah Well, that sounds so retarded then. um Yeah, no, actually, good good good point. Good point. They actually had put some thought into it, but you know not into their dress or how much they eat or anything else. Just how fast can we get on the freaking plane?
00:15:58
Speaker
Yeah. But... it but Well, he probably wants to get his wife on the, or whatever, on the plane so they don't have to fight the... I mean, they're huge, right? They were not that big.
00:16:11
Speaker
No, they were not, they were not like, oh needed a... They weren't even to the... I don't think they were even... Well, he might have needed a seatbelt extension because he had a big gut, but she I don't think she would have. She probably would have spilled over into the seat, but that' those seats are small, so i don't...
00:16:24
Speaker
No, here's... Oh, they're just playing the system. Yes, because here's the... I almost forgot to mention this. During all this, she gets up and walks to the bathroom. And she walked better than he did.
00:16:37
Speaker
yeah So as they're getting on, I'm like... Oh, your your sister was na not happy with me. As they're getting out, I'm like oh man, that's a great scam.
00:16:48
Speaker
She's like, what are you talking about? And i'm I'm purposely talking loud. I'm like, that's a great scam. should we talk I'm like, next time, can you push me up to the to the gate? And that way we can get on first.
00:16:58
Speaker
And she's going, oh, stop it. I'm like, no, there's the thing. If you don't shame them, if you don't publicly shame them, this is why people do it. Cause they know nobody's going to say anything. Nobody's going to give them any grief about it. Definitely not the gate agent.
00:17:12
Speaker
Cause then, you know, there's hope, but, but what made me feel made it all better was they get off the plane last. They didn't think it all the way through. Cause I'd much rather get off the plane first than last.
00:17:26
Speaker
That's like the way after a four hour flight, get off this thing. No.
00:17:32
Speaker
anyway so that was good That's why I start up my car and drive to wherever I need to go. Arizona's a bit too far even for me. it's far It's too far for a week-long trip. you You know, if I was going to stay there for a couple of weeks, i would I'd drive. i'd I'd stop at a... Well, I drove to California in 48 hours.
00:17:54
Speaker
Stop at not many stops. Like you stopped sleep. No, no. yeah you You stopped one time to sleep. Actually, it might have been 36 hours now that I think of it.
00:18:05
Speaker
So when I moved to LA, my father drove with me. He drove, he drove, i'm trying to think. We slept in
00:18:16
Speaker
shoot, I think we slept in Texas. Oh. I forget now. That's a long time. That's a long time. Oh, I drove, i've the longest drive I did by myself was from Houston to ah home, Cleveland.
00:18:30
Speaker
And that was 22 hours, if I remember right. That was a hell of a drive. Yeah, i well, I'm trying to, I think we've thought about driving Arizona. I think we might do it one day.
00:18:43
Speaker
excuse me but you need Well, there's there's plenty of things to stop and see. I mean, if you're going to make like You need a week to drive down. Or you need three or four days to drive down and three or four days to drive back. Drive back, you need two days. life Yeah, I guess. It depends on how hard you're goingnna want to stop in the way how hard you're pushing it, you know? Yeah, twenty it's 24. It depends if you want to see things. Yeah, it's 24 hours. Because like I love Texas planning your route. you Yeah, you could plan a pretty cool yeah road trip, you know.
00:19:12
Speaker
I think a du maybe we would do just do the cannonball run. it's just hard to yeah It's just hard to do that if you're there for like a you know six days or whatever. No, wait, you can't. You can't. Because you're driving for two and a half, three days, two and a half days, and then you're driving but you driving for five days.
00:19:29
Speaker
Because it's like 24, 26 hours running around there. something Maybe it's a little bit less. but and Like the one thing I still want to do with my wife, and it's just... You know, we just got to do it.
00:19:40
Speaker
But just to, to you know, ah'll take four weeks and drive, you know, toward the U.S., s you know? Yeah. Yeah. I really, i that is like one, and not retirement. I'd like to do that, any you know, soon, actually. I'd like to get on 80, just head west, you know, and just hit yeah and it hit hit, you know, go south or, you know, something like that when you get far enough. There's a couple different ways you could do it I mean, like,
00:20:07
Speaker
You could head to towards Chicago and then move your way up to ah South Dakota, North Dakota, hit the Devil's Tower and Mount Rushmore. South Dakota's awesome. Yeah, it's I love it. you know I've been there a bunch of times for with with the band. And then... um We, ah then I would like to hit, you know, you could head down to, you could do this, go down to Yellowstone and spend a you know few days in Yellowstone, especially if you're into photography, it would be amazing. Or anything, nature, yeah.
00:20:38
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Anything you're into, like with nature, or you could just um go through Montana and head towards Seattle. But nowadays, I don't know if I would want to do that. But that Pacific coast is beautiful. And the Pacific coast highway one, you know, uh, just take that all the way to l LA. It's just a tremendous, uh, drive. It's beautiful. Like I said, Cannonball Run sounds like they, you could, they still do the Cannonball Run, you know, people are still doing it. Yeah. I just, I just thought somebody do it. don't Give me a car and try to do with, a give me money. They're trying to do it with the electric, be the electric record now.
00:21:12
Speaker
Oh, really? Electric record can't compete with the gas record because all the charging you have to do. Not much sightseeing when you're doing that. it's, yeah, you're looking for cops and that's about it. That's about it. But it's, yeah, they're still doing it every in Everybody's trying to do it. And ah now the big thing is how fast can you do an electric car? So I've watched somebody try to do a Rivian where they just try to pack the the bed with batteries and all this other stuff. It's so complicated.
00:21:36
Speaker
They've tried twice and haven't been able to do it yet. so And not because, it's just because of the battery charging and all this. and Oh, crap. I won't go on that rant, but you know, charging your car batteries sucks. So by the way, it's, it still sucks. This was the rat hole I got down one day.
00:21:52
Speaker
Anyway, anyway, way too much crap for us to keep droning on about our personal lives because, uh, wow. Wow. We take two weeks off and it's like, Oh my gosh, what just happened?
00:22:07
Speaker
um it It was funny because ah you're you're in Arizona and I'm like watching the news unfold and I'm like, really? Around Christmas? Right. Around New Year's and all that? It's like, oh my God. Okay.
00:22:22
Speaker
Wow. So one of the first things was, I think, Venezuela, right? ah I'm watching on the news early on. We took another tanker and then...
00:22:33
Speaker
I wake up or I don't know, pulled up my phone. i don't remember. i think it was in the morning. I saw it and I was like, wait, what? What did we That was New Year's day was or Christmas, Christmas day. Wasn't it? It was Christmas day or Christmas Eve. I think they did it. It came out. Yes.
00:22:48
Speaker
Cause I went to my dad's house and and i was like, we're talking about, you know, like, no, nonchalant. Oh yeah. So what's going on? Well, a little surprise this morning. he just starts laughing. and He goes, yeah. What?
00:22:58
Speaker
No kidding. kidding. ah okay Well, um that's funny that you say that, Tom, but ah I thought maybe we'd get into ah you know our thoughts on the matter and and what what and why a little bit.
International Politics and Media Coverage
00:23:14
Speaker
Or we can start with this. You want to start with my clip from this? just Let's start with the clip because I'm thinking, wow, this is Maduro. He's kind of a bad guy, huh? No, apparently not. There's Maduro for president.
00:23:30
Speaker
Would you trade Trump for Maduro? Yeah, one number I mean, i think trump I think Maduro was democratically elected. Probably, yeah, sure. More than likely, yes, of course. If there's a Nicolas Maduro out here who's going to bring us to revolution, I will support that movement. I would rather have a bus driver in charge than than a billionaire, okay? Let's put it that way. last one is best. Nicolas Maduro could come be our president? yeah Oh, any day.
00:24:00
Speaker
Look, he said all the check marks are there. He's not white. He's a minority. ok But he looks a little too much like Saddam Hussein, though.
00:24:13
Speaker
ah The guy was kidding, right? I don't think so. No. and Man, you know what? I was concerned about the Somali IQ average, and this this concerns me more, I think.
00:24:25
Speaker
Gosh. That last one. oh he's He checks all the boxes, but he looks a little too much like Saddam Hussein to me. no if you saw that he's not why did see that video at all did you see that before oh no i didn't uh i don't think he was joking he just he looked like a really old hippie who homeless guy actually looked like to me which is was like oh that makes sense for you know for the left uh i don't know those clips those clips sound good to you
00:24:58
Speaker
ah That sounded all right to me. yeah so Are they coming through? They're coming through. I just want to make sure I'm looking at the feed and they look a little low, but we can fix that. No problem. As long as you can hear I'm thinking you're... you're're I'm loud. You're louder than usual. so I'll bring that back just a little bit, but there we maybe leave That's right. Just leave it there. I'll adjust it. Just in post. Just in post, Tom.
00:25:18
Speaker
i'll ah For the next show, adjust it. Yeah, yeah i got a new new equipment. Not new equipment, but next show I'll talk about. Replaced. Yeah, we'll talk about next show because that's actually a good... Good thing to talk about a company that did you, did me well, did me good, did me right. Something anyway. So Venezuela, geez, what the heck? um What's your thoughts?
00:25:40
Speaker
what what What was your, it was really the story I have for us is, ah is kill a commie for mommy. President Trump says his voters loved the Venezuela attack. Here's what they think.
00:25:51
Speaker
Channel 19 news. And you know, they basically, most people were like, yeah, i guess yeah. Yeah. I'm on board. Yeah.
00:26:02
Speaker
I'm good. As long as it doesn't turn into some kind of weird, uh, uh, forever thing. i was a little skeptical for, I'm not a big fan of let's go in and just take somebody out. Uh, Oh, and but when you look at the case in this particular case, if you look at the situation with a rational and objective mind, uh, if we'd taken care of this about 10 years ago, it wouldn't have gotten to this point.
00:26:28
Speaker
Yeah, it was too too new to do 10 years ago, right? Well, when Chavez nationalized all of our oil crap, maybe we should have done something about it then. And it wouldn't have been such a problem. Probably, but it was probably too new to do that. Right, well... You you you you have to let it Yeah, point. I mean, I guess you do, unless you... I mean, unless you have somebody who can come out and articulate why we're doing this in a proper way. Right, and and you can't articulate that to most people.
00:26:53
Speaker
but Yeah, back to the almost retarded people, yeah, on the plane. Yeah, well... Yeah. I'm okay with this happening mainly because, I mean, like, I wouldn't want, I don't want to do this in the Middle East anywhere.
00:27:06
Speaker
It's because it's not, it's not because of, a I don't think it's justified. I think it's because ah you can't do that in a Muslim country. as Well, we've proven that you can't really do that. Yeah. Proven it for 20 years and a couple trillion dollars. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But if you're doing it in the Americas and it's mostly Christian and the, I don't know, vlas Venezuelan people seem pretty darn cool to me. Well, and that's what kind of, that's why I'm not a i always a big fan of this because what happens after
00:27:41
Speaker
is very important and how we handle it and what, and what's in place and all that stuff. And is it going to turn in, and sometimes it's out of control, out your control. it It becomes worse before it gets better. But I, I just, I think it's, it's a little bit more,
00:27:58
Speaker
um how can I say it? It's, it's a little bit more probable you're going to have success in a, in a country such as. Oh yeah. Yeah. Your point is valid. Yeah, absolutely. It's, it's much better chance. They, that was always, that was the problem. That's the problem. At least they don't understand personal, individual freedom like we do. over Right. Right.
00:28:17
Speaker
Yeah. And i think i think you're right. i I'm not sure. have you had heard anything lately? of What's going on? I heard that they're having some issues or maybe some gangs and stuff. I haven't heard that.
00:28:28
Speaker
All I know is that there's this news cycle has been... freaking and insane. So yes it's it's hard to stay on ah on one thing. i think i think we're going to talk about it this week and then probably dig in a little deeper next week, I hope. and you know um Unless there's something else to themselves out. because we can go into, before before we get into the big, big, big, big story,
00:28:50
Speaker
Iran. Nobody's talking about Iran. Iran's going through, i mean, i as of last night or yesterday, late yesterday, they were so they were in the streets again. Their internet was cut off. think I have a story too, don't I?
00:29:02
Speaker
Yeah. Internet was cut off and... ah Oh, they're starting to kill people. They're starting to shoot protesters from reports. don't know. Allegedly, allegedly all that fun shit. but Well, I mean, there there are people there that have, ah what is it? Starlink? Starlink VPNs and all. Yeah, Starlink. Yeah. yeah So there people are sharing things, but it's hard, it's hard to come by. This uh, what is, what site is this? This is Iran international.
00:29:31
Speaker
i don't know. i've I don't know their credibility at all, except they're putting in live updates on their, to the story that we have that I put in there. Not the BBC one, the other one.
00:29:42
Speaker
BBC one was not updated. So 24 minutes ago, they just updated it. And this is Saturday the 10th.
00:29:52
Speaker
Internet remains out. more More protests and they're starting to burn things. This is maybe this is maybe a good time to burn your city.
00:30:03
Speaker
and when you're Not when
00:30:07
Speaker
a drug addict dies in the hands police. So there's that. So there's Iran. Nobody's talking. This is a huge story. When they're protesting en masse in Tehran, that's news.
00:30:20
Speaker
that's news But from some of the reports I've seen, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of protests or all around Iran going on in all the little towns. Yeah, but they're not reporting on it because it doesn't cause click ah rage bait.
00:30:33
Speaker
It's not rage bait. So that that's why the other stories are... a little bit more prevalent. Yes. i In my opinion. i and I think there's, it's also a little, me for me, it's a little more sinister than that. And I think, yes, it's definitely not as clickbaity as, um as the next one we'll touch on the ice incident, but also it does kind of magnify foreign, policy the current foreign policy we have might be actually working, might actually be working. Well, we don't flood the Iranian government with billions of dollars.
00:31:09
Speaker
This is what happens. they're they're they're Their currency is inflating beyond belief and the people are pissed off and they're getting to the point when you can't afford food, you really start getting pissed off enough to where you don't really care. when your When your kids can't eat, your life is not as important. youre You'll put yourself on the street.
00:31:30
Speaker
I mean, what what a segue this could be. and I mean, unless you're a white liberal woman, then you leave your kids to go follow ICE protesters and or ICE ice protesters as ah as a protesting ICE and following them around Minneapolis.
00:31:45
Speaker
But in this case, I think i think we need to keep an eye on this and everybody should be watching this and... i I believe in the background we're doing something. I believe Trump is doing something in the background. and I think it's going to come out soon.
00:31:58
Speaker
that That we've got people on the ground there, that he's going to start helping. Because he said, hey, you start shooting protesters and you're in big trouble. So let's see what he says. couple bombs perfectly placed could propel this revolution a little further.
00:32:16
Speaker
Yeah. So there's that. Now, speaking of white liberal women, white progressives, excuse me, don do you want I don't want to don want to frame liberal women as mostly crazy progressives that we're talking about here. ICE. ICE had a small incident over the last couple, last week. A couple small incidents.
00:32:32
Speaker
With a couple of dykes.
00:32:35
Speaker
Yeah, that's true. That is true. They are lesbians. And stupid ones on top of that. Arrogant idiots. I just... I'm not sure what what they expected.
00:32:46
Speaker
I'm not sure what they expected, but we'll start with... with Oh, they they were LARPs. Yes. They weren't expecting anything. and and that's where we get And that's where I was going to touch on. the The American media is such trash. I i i really think i really they i think they're at the point now where civil war will they think Civil War will increase their clicks.
00:33:08
Speaker
um And J.D. Vance is not having it. He was quite pissed. He was quite pissed. I got a, did you hear his press card? when he He stepped into the press briefing room and took over the podium. Did you hear Let's, let's, let's take it. Cause he, yeah, he's not happy. So here you go.
00:33:25
Speaker
JD Vance. this couple days ago. When I was actually walking out here, um somebody sent me a photo of a CNN headline about what happened in Minneapolis. And this is the headline, I'm just gonna read it.
00:33:39
Speaker
Outrage after ICE officer kills US citizen in Minneapolis. Well, That's one way to put it. And that is the way that many people in the corporate media have put this attack over the last 24 hours. And I say attack very, very intentionally because this was an attack on federal law enforcement. This was an attack on law and order. This was an attack on the American people. The way that the media...
00:34:03
Speaker
by and large, has reported this story has been an absolute disgrace, and it puts our law enforcement officers at risk every single day. What that headline leaves out is the fact that that very awful ICE officer nearly had his life ended, dragged by a car six months ago, 33 stitches in his leg. So you think maybe he's a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him with an automobile? What that headline leaves out- is that that woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation in the United States of America. What that headline leaves out is that that woman has, as part of a broader left-wing network, to attack, to dox, to assault, and to make it impossible for our ICE officers. to do their job. If the media wants to tell the truth, they ought to tell the truth that a group of left wing radicals have been working tirelessly, sometimes using domestic terror techniques to try to make it impossible for the president of the United States to do what the American people elected him to do, which is enforce our immigration laws. The president stands with ICE. I stand with ICE. We stand with all of our law enforcement officers.
00:35:10
Speaker
And part of that is recognizing that you people in the media, not everybody in this room, but many people in this room have been lying about this attack. She was trying to ram this guy with his with her car. He shot back. He defended himself. He's already been seriously wounded in law enforcement operations before. And everybody who's been repeating the lie that this is some innocent woman who was out for a drive in Minneapolis when a law enforcement officer shot at her, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
00:35:39
Speaker
Every single one. Give me a hell yeah. Hell yeah. That's the next president. you could i could you could That was genuine in my opinion. And i i was I'll say that because a lot of times he he was he was over he had a stop to swallow.
00:35:57
Speaker
And he was you could tell he was pissed. That's one of those, like your your broad pressure is getting up and you you could tell he was amped up. i've seen and I've seen him get pretty fired up before. Yeah. he's It's genuine. and He's great at it.
00:36:13
Speaker
I think he's going to be the next president. I mean, he has a really good chance. Rubio needs a break, so he might be the next president. Rubio needs a break. He's just got so much stuff going on. He's working so damn hard. Maybe he doesn't want to break. He's one of those guys. He just wants to work. And yeah, he's doing outstanding. I'm just kidding because he's so busy that a presidency might be a little easier. Well, vice presidency would be a lot easier because it's usually like a lot of sitting around with them. But Vance has been... Man, he's...
00:36:41
Speaker
and he's He is a as you talk about on a no agenda, he's a great translator for the president. There's other parts of that where the, where they've taken on questions and he is just, he is such a, he's masterful at explaining, explaining the fine, finer points of what the president's policies are.
00:37:01
Speaker
Yeah. He's great at that. He's perfect for that. Perfect for that. And yes, it's perfect that he used to be, and he used to be a, a, not a, not a fan of Trump because, you know, I respect that because neither was I. So.
00:37:13
Speaker
and this you know So I think ah
00:37:18
Speaker
think the media is horrible. I think the government of men Minneapolis, as far as nobody's tamping down the rhetoric. Nobody. they're They're amping the rhetoric.
00:37:30
Speaker
So it let's let's pull away from Minneapolis. what what ah What are some law enforcement saying? I kind of got sucked in the rat hole on X and I got a couple of clips.
00:37:41
Speaker
Here is, um here's a couple, let's show a little bit of a difference in this, in cities and regions of where you go and kind of what the reaction to this incident is. So as everybody's probably seen, i guess we'll start here maybe before I hit the clips. Everybody's probably seen the the videos of the the protests, the stalking of the ICE agents in Minneapolis and what happened.
00:38:08
Speaker
I mean, He got run over. He got hit. If if there were no ice, i'm I'm watching Tim pull. I think he's got a good point. If there was no ice on the road, he would have been run over.
00:38:22
Speaker
Or at least more severely injured.
00:38:26
Speaker
Did you see the ah footage that came out yesterday? Yep. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. He definitely got hit. I mean, and when you watch it in slow motion, he would, he would have been run over or, um,
00:38:40
Speaker
I don't know about run over. See, I don't, I'm not convinced she was trying to run him over. I'm, I'm thinking she's a woman, which makes her a bad driver. And she was, ah she, um, floundered or, or, uh, panicked, you know? And the thing is, uh, there's, there's some, there is footage of,
00:39:00
Speaker
her her her wife or whatever yelling, drive, baby, drive. Right. When she punched it. So i think she i think she didn't even know where her wheel was pointed.
00:39:12
Speaker
And i don't i don't think she was trying to run him over. I think she was just trying to get the out of there. That's an easy assessment, Tom, because most women don't know where their wheels are pointed. yeah that Yeah, yeah.
00:39:24
Speaker
yeah No, you're right. I'm i'm i'm just saying, like, i think i think there's a ah little... um I think there's a little bit of blame to go on, a lot of blame to go on the liberal left, you know, the far left side. But there's a little bit of blame too. I don't think she was really trying to run him over. I think she, did I'm not defending her No. i mean, she she was LARPing and she um it was a Fafo moment.
00:39:53
Speaker
But when you're told by every outlet, every influencer that you watch, that there's the Scott there, the coststapo they are Nazis.
00:40:04
Speaker
They want to kill you. Um, and then the guy walks up to your car to pull you out. You're going to start panicking. But I think why, my question is after I saw the cell phone video is her girlfriend, whatever. don i don't think they're actually married, but whatever. De facto wife, her wife, see i guess the wife. And they're not even, they're not even from They just moved there.
00:40:29
Speaker
Oh, they moved. Or came there or they move there or were, they were there for the. Yeah, I think you're right. ah At first I thought they had said, we just moved here. We don't have anybody. Like she was trying to, there was somebody to call to help.
00:40:40
Speaker
Like something that affected, we don't have anybody here. We just got here or something. So you might be, I don't, I don't know. You, regardless, they're not really from the area. Even if they did move there, they just moved there like very recently. But I think you might be right. I think they they just came. I think they were there to.
00:40:53
Speaker
They were there to LARP and live action role playing for the people that don't know what that is. But um they were there to LARP and they were just like, it wasn't even a protest. They were just trying to... they were following them around and and the and the vehicle got stuck.
00:41:13
Speaker
And as other ICE agents pulled up to try to help, then the protesters got out of the car. They started filming and the LARPers. ah The question I have is, The wife is grabbing the door to try to open it, and it's locked.
00:41:27
Speaker
And she's saying... it Was it locked? I thought she opened it for a second and closed it. I had to watch it again, maybe. But she grabs the handle and says, drive, baby, drive. Right. And then she hits the gas. like The chick's not even in the car yet. I i don't only think i don't think the door even opened. but she's not Regardless, she wasn't in the car. She wasn't even close to in the car. And and all she heard was, drive, baby, drive. So she slams on the gas.
00:41:49
Speaker
Yep. Why, though? Okay, drive, baby, drive. When I get in the car...
00:41:56
Speaker
No, no. i I think she was just telling her to get out of there. and and she and she And she's... um And she's videoing this or you know for for ah TikTok or who who knows what.
00:42:09
Speaker
So, I mean, they were very, very arrogant throughout this, story especially when you watch the, ah we don't have the link here, but it it just. It's out there. Google, lab it's it's not a body cam. He's holding a cell phone.
00:42:23
Speaker
Is he holding it? if you the other videos that came out. did he shoot and hold it? He gets hit, and i think he drops it as she hits him, and he pulls his gun out and shoots that quick, which credit to him because that was pretty quick draw. I don't see the, I don't, okay. Watch the original footage, like from the back, from the back corner from the sidewalk.
00:42:42
Speaker
where you there's the one you That's the first one that came out. You could hardly see him in front of the car, but you could see, I think you could see him drop the cell phone at some point or something like that, but he's holding a cell phone, yeah. I was thinking he had some kind of ah but maybe pouch or so you something that he attaches to him to hold the no as far hold the camera. yeah okay pretty easy I think he's hand-holding his cell phone.
00:43:04
Speaker
he's trying to he's trying Why don't they have body cams? Good question. Because that's what I originally thought it was. And I was like, damn, that's good footage for a body cam. and but ah As you say, she's like, we're filming too. We're filming we're not going to switch our our thing. He's gathering evidence because they're about to arrest him.
00:43:23
Speaker
Right. Okay. And so i so let's, and then of course the mayor comes out and says, get the F out of Minneapolis. ah Tim Waltz comes out and says, i actually call him Harry Balls.
00:43:38
Speaker
He, well, no, that's only when Harris is involved. Okay. And I can't, dang it. this's So Waltz comes out and says, ah I'm, I'm mobilizing the national guard. For what?
00:43:50
Speaker
did you Could you explain why? is it because you're you're expecting to have protests? Or are you going to spin up the National Guard to do what?
00:44:00
Speaker
And the other thing that I think people should really pay attention to, as far as national stuff goes, watch the media start to astroturf this fray guy.
00:44:15
Speaker
Frey guy? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The mayor or whatever. Is it Frey or Frey? Yeah, yeah. Couldn't think of who, yeah. um Oh, the guy who, that's the guy who, i remember, if nobody knows, remembers, if you haven't seen the footage, because people keep bringing it back up, he was the one crying, bawling in front of George Floyd's casket at her funeral.
00:44:34
Speaker
I think was literally one of the only white people invited to this thing, maybe. I'm sure I'm wrong, but only a few ones I saw, but he's bawling, course, with his mask on.
00:44:46
Speaker
for George Floyd dancing with Somalians. you Look at their, look at their state flag. Have you seen their state flag? It highly resembles the Somali flag. Same color, similar star.
00:44:59
Speaker
Yep. So I get caught up in this little, little thing on, on X and it all started with what I'm affectionately calling kind of affectionately calling a sheriff McFaddy.
00:45:14
Speaker
But I think, and I want to play a couple of these clips and this one's a little bit long. We could start and stop it or could cut it off anytime, but I i couldn't clip because it was just too much, too much there. And I think I may need your help on this first one, but I want to show a couple different, you know, a couple of different regions and how do these sheriffs and law enforcement react?
00:45:32
Speaker
How did they react to this? And here's one, again, please, right at the beginning, first of all, she's very brave. You can tell because he she comes out to applause. and But I may need to help figuring out what city she's from because I couldn't quite understand. I Googled it, but I couldn't find it. Maybe you can help. Here you go This is a Sheriff McFaddy.
00:45:56
Speaker
Very brave. Very brave. Good afternoon. I'm Rochelle Bilal, the sheriff of the city and county of Philadelphia. And I say her name, Renee Good.
00:46:08
Speaker
Rene Rene Good. Rene Good. Rene Good. Whoa, that sounds racist. This should not have happened, but we're here today. Let know that law enforcement professionals, real ones, hu not the fake made up ICE probably Trump's new army to attack citizens of the United States.
00:46:31
Speaker
Did you hear what I said? We did, but we couldn't understand. law enforcement professional wears a mask. None. None.
00:46:43
Speaker
Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime, I thank God for our district attorney, Larry Krasnick, who said he's going to lock them up.
00:46:54
Speaker
And I'm saying now, are not going to whisk you away for them to hide your identity. w Because when you do it there, you're getting arrested there.
00:47:05
Speaker
No whisk away. No whisk. For them to hide you. None of that here. None of that here. None of that. Law enforcement professionals do not shoot at moving vehicles. Listen.
00:47:20
Speaker
not saying fleeing because she wasn't fleeing. She was getting out of the way. Law enforcement professionals do not stand in front of moving vehicles invoking an action that is illegal. It wasn't moving.
00:47:35
Speaker
No, we don't. And so we stand here today with all those who stand against the made up fake, what you can call ice ah the professional law enforcement. I call them none of that.
00:47:49
Speaker
I call them made up fake wannabe law enforcement because what they do enforcement is against not only legal law, but the moral law. Oh, it's against the moral law, too. okay So I'm with the DA. We will work with them. If any of them want to come in this city and commit a crime, you will not be able to hide.
00:48:10
Speaker
Nobody will wish you off. You don't want this smoke. Because we will bring it. Are people laughing? No, they're, mm-hmm, girl. And the fake, whatever, listen they call them.
00:48:23
Speaker
Because I can't. but I can't say the name, but the criminal in the White House would not be able to keep you from going to jail. So? Renee Good should be here today.
00:48:36
Speaker
And to her family, we are saying law enforcement professionals are not the ones here in this city that would do that. So they're not they're the professionals are not in the city. that Is that what you're saying? mix Mary McFaddy or Sheriff McFaddy?
00:48:53
Speaker
Oh my God. So many things to say about that. Why is it fake? How is ice? Is ice fake?
00:49:00
Speaker
is Are they fake? Cause I, I mean, if they were fake, how did this woman get involved in this shooting with them?
00:49:08
Speaker
I, I just, I just can't say his name, but you you just said it two seconds earlier. No, she literally can't say his name. She can't say a lot, let alone the the city she works for.
00:49:20
Speaker
So that is the sheriff of Philadelphia, not Philillia. And she is a disgrace. She is a DEI hire. There's no way in hell that big fat slob was a competent police officer. Sorry, i could be wrong.
00:49:38
Speaker
Please prove me wrong. why Why are there so many women sheriffs now? And why are they all fat? Because we could talk about the Cleveland or kind ah cleveland police um ah ah chief.
00:49:52
Speaker
She's a big, fat white woman. say Same with the one in Cincinnati. The one in Cincinnati, big, fat white woman, right? Yeah. Pretty sure. Or am I thinking the same one? I may be thinking same one. But no, the Cleveland police chief. No, because we didn't pull it. The one in Cincinnati isn't like, she's not huge. She's just thick then. She's thick. That's what you want to call it.
00:50:15
Speaker
but the one I know that's the one in Cleveland because I just saw some stories about another shooting with the police department and the safety patrol. um So yeah, DEI hires.
00:50:26
Speaker
So here you go. So I thought we contrast this.
00:50:31
Speaker
and You remember Sheriff Grady Judd um from Old Polk County, Florida? Oh, yeah, yeah. This one's shorter, but here's a little clip. he He had, people had asked him to come out and say something. So he decided, yeah, I'll come out and say something. Here you go.
00:50:47
Speaker
Hello, everyone. Sheriff Grady Jett here. I've been asked by media outlets and several people to comment on the event that occurred in Minneapolis yesterday.
00:50:58
Speaker
Now let's look at the event. The investigation is not complete. I am giving you context on the video clip that I saw.
00:51:10
Speaker
Law enforcement officers, federal law enforcement officers, ICE agents were trying to take the occupant of the car out of the vehicle. During this encounter, the vehicle backed up and then drove directly at the ICE agent.
00:51:31
Speaker
That is a deadly weapon. a two-ton deadly weapon. So what what did the occupant expect? They should have expected to be shot when you commit a deadly assault on a law enforcement officer.
00:51:48
Speaker
So let's do this. Let's send out the message loud and clear, and it should start with the mayor, the police chief, the local sheriff,
00:52:01
Speaker
and the governor of Minnesota. yeah Cooperate with law enforcement officers. Don't resist them. Don't violently resist them.
00:52:12
Speaker
If you do violently resist them, if you do felonious assaults with two-ton weapons, expect to be shot.
00:52:24
Speaker
Expect to be shot is what but Grady Judd said. I think maybe, you know, they've got some bills in the Ohio legislature about abortion and, you know, watching this video and that video and how the documents we should be able putting up in the school. I think we should have a bill that every kid in well we'll figure out what grade, but maybe high school probably proper, maybe eighth grade, ninth grade.
00:52:45
Speaker
They should watch ah Tim Rock. what's What's the comedian's name? the Black comedian Rock. ah Chris Rock. Chris Rock's skit on how not to get your ass put beat by the police.
00:53:01
Speaker
that that yeah In that documentary, we used to be a comedy comedy skit. and Now it's actually a documentary, I'm told.
00:53:07
Speaker
ah Because here's a good way. When they tell you get out of your car, you're done. You're getting arrested, most likely. Just accept it, and you may survive the encounter and not get your ass beat. It's hilarious.
00:53:19
Speaker
My ah ah wife was visiting her parents, and they're... Broken English immigrants from Italy. The first question they asked was, why didn't she get out of the car? Why
00:53:34
Speaker
didn't she just get out of the Oh my gosh, they had to drive her daughter crazy. Her other daughter. Well, yeah, no, not my wife. she My wife laughed, just like you did. It's like there's more critical thinking in that moment than...
00:53:50
Speaker
ever occurs in any, you know, radical left liberal, whatever you want to call it woman. it' It's, it's, it's insane.
00:54:02
Speaker
A man, men. Yes. I, I, I asked the question on, on X a couple of times. When they decided to leave their kids, now I think there's some new information. Maybe they actually don't have custody their kids.
00:54:15
Speaker
I heard this, what little read a little bit and heard a little bit yesterday or this morning that the wife supposedly has some domestic abuse charges. mean they got Maybe they got their kids removed. I'm not sure. But regardless, under the the original idea I had was they left their kids behind to go do this.
00:54:37
Speaker
They have three kids, right? at i Reports where they have two or three kids. I don't know. i i know they said they left. At least one. they had Rachel had kids, or at least one. They said all I heard was that she's a mother. I thought it three. But I mean, she's not. She's not. She's not. Well, I guess the question I had is, what did they do with their kids? She gave birth, maybe. What did they with their kids?
00:54:59
Speaker
they put them in a Somali daycare in Minnesota? was wondering. ah but But they chose protesting over their kids. And the reason I bring this up, because I've been invited to a lot of these type of things, you know, for but literally January 6th, I was invited by many people to go with them.
00:55:16
Speaker
And I just said, i so i you know, as much as I wanted to go, i i just, I looked at the situation. like, I need, I can't, I can't. That's a I'm going into a place I can't carry, Washington, dc So B, I'm like, ah, that's something didn't feel right to me.
00:55:33
Speaker
But this is a similar, why i i i I look at it through different different lenses because it's not just me I worry about. So i it don't seem that they cared that much about it.
00:55:45
Speaker
And the evidence is they left their kids behind to go stalk ICE agents. They didn't go to an organized protest. They left their kid, they put their kids in in somebody else's care, allegedly, I don't know for sure, but to go stalk ICE agents.
00:56:03
Speaker
That's what they were doing when They were following them around. They think they're... I don't know how they look at it, but they actually think they're LARPing. They, I mean, they are LARPing. I don't know what they think they're doing, but they don't think any, you know, like they don't think they're that there's anything can happen.
00:56:20
Speaker
That's really what they're doing. They're, they're just dumb. Right. People. Because they're in their bubble and they think that the majority of the world believes in their cause because that's all they listen to. Because every mainstream media, um almost every media outlet is at least in some ways,
00:56:38
Speaker
Giving them, telling them what they want to hear. Well, I mean, that, uh, uh, ice officers footage, it just tells you everything about them. They're arrogant, condescending.
00:56:53
Speaker
They're, they really think that they're Nazis. They're better. Well, yeah yeah, they do believe I will give them that they do believe in what treat a Nazi or somebody like that. Whatever.
00:57:08
Speaker
it's just It's just low IQ, though. it's It's very low IQ, these people. Yeah, I agree in some ways. But I think very intelligent people, intelligent, can definitely get caught up in it. Because you see it you see it all the time on the left.
00:57:25
Speaker
Professors, economists. go you know and on the Yeah, but they're not they're not LARPing. Oh, this part, yeah. But I mean, as far as buying into the narrative. Yeah, yeah.
00:57:37
Speaker
You could buy into the narrative, but I mean, you got to have some sense to not actually go LARPing like Antifa does and stuff like that. it's that's ah That's another level.
00:57:48
Speaker
Yeah. Going to a protest is one thing, but following ICE agents around in your car is completely another the level. Good point, actually. yeah Yeah, like yeah you you can not have all the, you think you have all the information, but you don't have It doesn't really make you low IQ. It just makes you, you don't have the knowledge that you need to critically think about this.
00:58:10
Speaker
i guess there is something there, like, I don't know if it's a low IQ thing, but it's a... they some of those people don't really critically think. Yeah, they don't have any street smarts. It would be part of why look at it. Right.
00:58:23
Speaker
Okay, that's ah that's one way to look at it. It's not a bad way. But these people that are actually going on on the streets and doing this, that this is another that's another level of dumb.
00:58:35
Speaker
I got one more. I want to contrast those two clips with another one. So this one is Larry Snelling. the superintendent of the Chicago PD. got any guess on where he's going land?
00:58:48
Speaker
Let's find out. Say that again. This next clip. This is Larry Snow from Chicago, superintendent of of the Chicago police department. Well, that's ah that's obvious. Okay. I hope, I hope I'm wrong.
00:59:02
Speaker
Federal agents, ICE, HSI are officers. They are agents of law enforcement.
00:59:15
Speaker
Nice. If you box them in with vehicles, it is reasonable for them to believe that they are being ambushed and that this could end in a deadly situation.
00:59:32
Speaker
And it's reasonable for them to use force based on those conditions. Do not box in any law enforcement officer.
00:59:46
Speaker
You are breaking the law when you do that. Yep. And you are putting yourself in danger. What else? Following oh law enforcement agents around.
01:00:01
Speaker
The question is why? Why? What do you plan on doing? it's also reasonable for them to believe that you're eventually going to do harm to them.
01:00:12
Speaker
Yes. I was surprised by that too. Yeah. That's, that's, ah that's good to hear. I think in contrast with, with his mayor, I'm sure in Chicago.
01:00:23
Speaker
Yeah. So good on them. But I mean, they're, they're the ones on the front lines dealing with these, these, these crazy people. So you would think you would hope, but so is, so is a sheriff McFaddy.
01:00:35
Speaker
see So, and and to their to her point, so if, man, please, I want it. I want Antifa in Philly and see what she does.
01:00:47
Speaker
Because she said specifically, if you come into Philly to do a crime, masked to do a crime, now she was speaking to ICE.
01:00:56
Speaker
But it's okay for Antifa to do it. It's okay for these protesters to put masks on. let's see Let's see what happens when ah with if that happens in your state. I mean, if if I'm Trump, I'm like, how many agents we got? You got any extra agents? Can we send them over to Philly? Come on.
01:01:09
Speaker
put Peel a few from here and there. let's Let's send some to Philly. Make sure they got masks on.
01:01:16
Speaker
I mean, it sounds like a challenge. I don't... Let's just get this over with already, Tom. Let's just get this over with already. I don't want this to escalate, but I don't know how we can coexist with people like Sheriff McFaddy.
01:01:32
Speaker
and You can't. I know what civil war means, you know. You know, i'm I'm surprised about this guy in Chicago. I mean, Chicago's got one of the ah most corrupt police departments in the world, I would
Societal Divisions and Cultural Commentary
01:01:47
Speaker
say. One of them, ah yeah. in in the In the country, maybe. Yeah, not in the world. So I'm surprised he's saying this.
01:01:55
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know. maybe Maybe things are straightening out with a with the police department there. don't know. It's not the Civil War that's frustrating to me. It's all this waiting. I just want to talk. I don't, actually. I know what it means. I mean, I tell i talked talked like this to some of my friends, and they're Well, you must you don't know what civil war means. No, I know what it means it means. It means our lovely lifestyle that we all have, no matter where you are, what social economic standard you are in America, you are rich and you've got it good and you were born at the best time in the world. It's ever been it's never been better than right now with all the problems we have. So I know what civil war means. It means all that shit goes away.
01:02:31
Speaker
But what I don't want, why would I would leave this crap for my kids? Let's get it out of the way. Let's get it of the way. I don't want it. I really don't. I'm i'm half being facetious, but it kind of pisses me off that as I get older and and we don't handle these situations, we got to keep coexisting with these crazy people who, they don't, we're we're both watching the same screen and seeing two different movies.
01:02:56
Speaker
Well, I think we've taken the first step. Yes. it's To eradicating it. And it's moving in the right direction. we i you know It's not something that happens overnight.
01:03:07
Speaker
yeah so And and i I really, I do, a lot of what's happened over last year has pulled me away from the black pills, but I keep i keep grabbing them and shoveling them in by the by the handful. Well, it's hard. It's It's hard not to. Right. and i But I really look at it. I go, well, shoot, going to leave this ever-increasing snowball for my kids to to fight. No, I want to do it. i want to i don't want it to do I don't want to actually do it. But if we're if it's going to happen, but let it be on our watch and not not the next generation.
01:03:38
Speaker
A large snowball doesn't melt away quick. Wow. That was awesome. Wow. but That was great. That was one of the dumbest things I've ever said. It is. it's It's one of the last things to go if when you've got the big snowball in your yard. Well, right. you you You make a snowman. There's no snow on the ground. And there's a couple of... A couple of balls? Blobs of snow. Snowy balls. Ice, basically. we ball So, ah yeah.
01:04:03
Speaker
And... On to that. So i that's why that was my my question. Let me try to segue again into the next thing, which is, ah did they leave their kids in a Somali daycare?
01:04:14
Speaker
Just wondering. And they went to LARP on the... Nobody wants to answer the question. I don't know. the They must not know. Speaking of Somali daycares, that was the next explosion. and Like a few days later, or but this is before the ICE, this all popped. us Trump is a felon.
01:04:28
Speaker
He's a fraudster. Somali fraud is just propaganda. Good point. Yes. Yes, I mean, it's it's great how you can ah you can get the left to defend fraud and criminals.
01:04:43
Speaker
And criminals that came here illegally and are current, well, temporary protective status. They actually were flown here.
01:04:54
Speaker
I don't think the lie these people, did a these people come over the border or were they flown here? don't know, they're Somalians. but I think they were flown here back in the 90s. Yeah, it was, oh no, it was dis-Obama.
01:05:06
Speaker
No, I think back in the 90s is when it started. i think Yeah, I think the spike, though, when you see this mini-up was early 2000, I think. but yeah it' i'll I'll tell you what. You know, i was on business in in Minneapolis, and i was it was 2017, and I was taken aback on the makeup of the city.
01:05:31
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, i you know, I was i was doing... um I was doing a ah commercial photography yeah ah thing in a ah foundry, play a casting place.
01:05:45
Speaker
There was about 10 white people there. Everybody else was from Somali. And the 10 white people were whereta where they're the ones in charge. Yeah. It was it was bizarre. Yeah.
01:05:57
Speaker
And, you know, some of the locals that I did ask, are like, how do they feel about this? Because I i was unaware. yeah you Back then, I wasn't paying attention. I was totally unaware. And, you know, they're not, they weren't too happy. They didn't want to say it in so many words, but they weren't too happy about it.
01:06:14
Speaker
ah that i What makes this different? And I think I know the answer, but I'm going to ask anyway. What makes this different than, let's say, Little Italy? places like that or or well if i there are some some places some shops you may know of that have been similarly like this with different ethnic groups in the past where like 90 of the shop was of one ethnic group or another so what's my what makes this different
01:06:45
Speaker
they're not assimilating yep i don't think they're assimilating yeah like The kids aren't either. like i know like there's a Little Italy. you you know and yeah You could go find Polish neighborhoods. You could go find you know rock Ukrainian and whatever type of... Little China, whatever.
01:07:03
Speaker
You could find all those kind of communities. But usually they if the parents aren't assimilating too much, because they're living in that neighborhood, they're they're able to speak their language to their neighbor.
01:07:14
Speaker
But the kids are. Trying to, at least. And in the in the parents, like, I know parents, immigrant parents that were like, no, when you're in the house, speak English.
01:07:26
Speaker
Yeah. Because I want to learn too. You know, they would have their own language. They could they could speak to each other in their you know native native tongue. They did tell their kids to, no, no, no, no. Speak English to us so we can learn.
01:07:41
Speaker
I think um many did. I don't think everyone did. The vast majority did. Well, because it came here for, it feels like, I know that what they didn't come here to extract the riches of the U S they came here to make a living.
01:07:56
Speaker
but i would say a lot of the simoleons did the same thing. I'm not going to, i like I'm not going to condemn the entire population simoleons or anybody really. No, you can't do that. You can't that. thought, my first thought when all started going down as I'm on vacation, just casually scrolling as as little as possible, actually.
01:08:15
Speaker
But what ah what I thought was, And it kind of went back to the Trump's comments. Somalia is garbage country, at least a large portion of it. And that's because of corruption.
01:08:26
Speaker
lot of it's because of corruption. They cannot form government. They can't keep a government because they are so it's so corrupt. It's so gang related. There's so many factions and all this other stuff. So when they come here, they do the same thing because they're not assimilated.
01:08:40
Speaker
and they get away And they're a allowed to get away with it because of friends in high places. Yeah, i I can kind of blame the community.
01:08:52
Speaker
not Not everybody in the, you know, but in a way I can. It's kind of this, like, they know yeah the ones that are trying to make a better life for themselves through, exactly, the ones that are trying to make a better life for themselves through hard work and rising through the ashes, basically. They're not calling out the scam.
01:09:14
Speaker
And there's probably a pua legitimate reason for that because i I could tie it in with the same thing, you know, for years we talked about ah islam Islam and radical Islam and, you know, justifiably so, you can't look at Iran or, you know, Saddam Hussein or those people, not that he was really Muslim, but, or Muslim leader or anything, but you can't look at those radicals and apply it to the whole Muslim population.
01:09:39
Speaker
But, like, to your point, what what I've said over the years is yeah, but what about the rational Muslims? How come they're not how come they're not speaking out? That's the problem. I feel that yes, that's a good point and we should keep it on it. Keep on that point.
01:09:54
Speaker
I'm just saying they're probably cause they're afraid of their life, afraid for their life and for their family, especially in the tight knit community like that. Cause remember the clip we played, i I almost pulled it, but I have way too many clips already. Well, a couple of weeks ago or ah early in December, maybe we played a clip from,
01:10:10
Speaker
The lady in Columbus who talked about the fraud, the fraud and stuff. And then the next clip was they were knocking on her window and stuff like that. And we weren' we were like, well, it could be true. it couldn't be true. It could be true at this point. But she was afraid because they're they're a very tight-knit group and they will come after you.
01:10:27
Speaker
if if you I've seen enough footage of reporters going into some of these daycares and health service places, and and they're they are being intimidated. Oh, yeah. we' get got I got clips. Let's start let's start with them. Here's something that why the country is so Somalia is a shittle.
01:10:45
Speaker
the The average IQ in Somalia is 68 to 84. That's like the range. So you're... you're They're being driven by emotion and not logic.
01:11:00
Speaker
These are dumb people. Oh, arrogant too. Yes. Highly, highly arrogant and in a lot of cases. And that's some of the stuff. The ones that are over 84 are highly arrogant. The other ones that are under that are very just emotionally driven. I mean, it's just crazy.
01:11:18
Speaker
How they react. You could see their emotions get the best of them as they talk to you. Yeah. Not me, but to the reporter. And we got a couple of those. We'll get into it. So let's start with where this all come from. We got a little clip from my buddy, Nick. Remember Nick Shirley? We brought him up on the show couple times.
01:11:36
Speaker
Yeah. like Yeah, he's good. he for I first saw him during the l LA riots where the National Guard came in and he was going around. you know, just his his shtick was very similar to a lot of other people.
01:11:47
Speaker
Just go in there and ask questions. Why do you support this? Why you not support that? And there was no left or right lean. It was just a very straight. He didn't hide the fact somebody, yeah, I support ah Donald Trump or whatever, but i'm I'm not, that doesn't matter. I'm just, he's not giving his opinion. He just, why this, why that, you know, kind of asking follow-up questions and, and,
01:12:09
Speaker
but You see this time and time again from these kind of protests on the left. They don't like that. when you When you push their point, they get really mad because they've never thought of it past the headline, basically. When you go to a Trump rally, you'll get no conversation with people from what I've seen.
01:12:22
Speaker
You'll ask questions. it may They may have dumb answers. I'm not saying they're all good answers. There's plenty of dumb answers from a MAGA fan. ah you know rally but but they don't get i they don't get get angry at you and then try to beat you know or surround you and make noises so you can't record and all this other stuff um but here's Nick here's a little clip from some of Nick's stuff I thought this was one of my favorites i i've got so I've got it titled this is not a Joey spot my name's that Nick we're doing a little documentary trying to find a little Joey a spot to put himself in one of these centers here why are you asking us about
01:13:00
Speaker
The fraud? Yeah, because we want to make sure we're going to legit business if we're going to bring our little boy Joey here. This is not a Joey's fraud. But that's her number on the other side. But this is our problem. We can't let you guys see. Okay. Thank you. So once again, little Joey, he can't even go to daycare and now they won't even accept him if he has autism.
01:13:21
Speaker
Poor Joey. And again, no kids. Couldn't tell you how many kids they serve. After being able to provide no evidence of them actually being an autism center in a place where a child could go, they shut the door and we headed to the next fraudulent daycare center that was just around the corner.
01:13:39
Speaker
So i I thought, wow, that's and that's how this all started. And he went to it it Basically, he put out, I forget why he put out a tweet about bo fraud or something like that. And this guy, David, that he's been working with DM'd him, according to the interview I saw, say, I've got it all documented. And this guy's been watching for like 10 years or five, something like that. Right. I think he's a retired guy. I think this is, it sounds like it's what he does.
01:14:03
Speaker
um There's a, I don't know if you probably didn't catch it, but ah Sean Ryan does an interview with Nick Shirley. He's not a brilliant guy or anything like that. I think he's just a good guy doing, you know, some good reporting and he's young. So he's still a little naive about things, but he's learning. he he's learning Yeah.
01:14:21
Speaker
Yes. And he like every, you know, people that are interested in this should check out that interview because it gives you a good ah perspective of what he's doing. I couple of at least clips from interviews where he was explaining it.
01:14:34
Speaker
So I know. don't think it was that one though, but so he goes on and exposes all this stuff and people are flipping out. ah the ah Again, the media, the media. So they, and here's X, I guess we'll get into our media. Cause then it started rolling over into Ohio.
01:14:51
Speaker
And because why? And this will, we'll say this in the, ah in the next clip. Well, everybody started realizing Columbus has the second largest Somalian population in the country. So we went, huh, let's check out Columbus.
01:15:04
Speaker
And let's see what, this is a clip from News Channel 5. Our friend Morgan.
01:15:11
Speaker
Oh, Morgan, you've really, you really disappointed me in this one. um At some point, she kind of sounds like a ah jealous little twat, but ah let's, let's, let's, you make a decision. It's a story taking over social media. Online outrage from Republicans over alleged daycare fraud in Minnesota and now in Columbus, Ohio, scrutinizing the state's Somali community. The Somalians are ripping off our country. But Governor Mike DeWine is pushing back against it, holding a press conference to dispute the viral claims. and We are as vigilant as we can about fraud. Right wing social media accounts have alleged that Somali owned daycare centers in Columbus have been receiving public dollars without providing services to kids. This led Dayton area Republican Tom Young and 40 state lawmakers to send a letter to DeWine's administration urging it to investigate. Morgan, we we have every right to ask any question ah in regards to how taxpayers dollars are spent. DeWine explains that the state has extensive steps to prevent fraud, like paying by attendance of children, not the initial enrollment number, audits, and surprise visits. Does fraud occur? Yes, fraud occurs.
01:16:20
Speaker
Our job is to do everything we can. No fraud is acceptable. I would hope that the governor provides data that's legitimate. Still, some citizen investigators have claimed fraud since they're being denied entry when trying to film inside a daycare center. So there shouldn't be a shock when someone, you see something on social media and someone is going, I can't get into this place. No one will let me in.
01:16:45
Speaker
Well, hell no. No one should let them in. You're twat too. protect the children in these daycare centers, Ohio requires facilities to have safety and security plans in place. So what is the connection between Minnesota and Ohio? Well, census data shows that after Minneapolis, Columbus has the second largest Somali population in the country. Do you see these claims as being from anti-Somali sentiment?
01:17:12
Speaker
Well, i look, the vast majority of Somalians have been here for a long time. ah Many of them are citizens. um Many of them run businesses. um We need to just not fixate on any population. And DeWine warns not to believe everything you read on social media. At the Ohio State House, I'm Morgan Trout reporting.
01:17:33
Speaker
Thank you, guys. Bye, though. Thanks for letting me know that. By the way, Trump put out a list of percentages of what communities are, how like how much of ah of them are on benefits, welfare.
01:17:49
Speaker
And Somalian communities are over 70%. I believe it was 73% of the community, or or ora I should say of the immigrants that have come here from Somalia, are on government benefits.
01:18:04
Speaker
Well, I think we showed, Morgan showed a little bit of her colors in this interview. Oh, yeah. A citizen investigator. oh you little... She's a twat. You couldn't. She's got great boobs. wow yeah Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I guess, I guess she she has, she has, yeah, she's, you know, but she is a, she is acting like a twat right here because she's, ah no, he's a citizen journalist. He's an investigative journalism. He's an independent journalist, but you don't want to call him that. Cause you're, you're just, cause you don't want to him, you know, bring him into your circle.
01:18:35
Speaker
Let's close the door and to let anybody else in Morgan. Yeah. yeah And then, oh, is this about Somali, anti-Somali? You know, nobody nobody has said anything about only c check the Somali daycares. No, check all the freaking daycares, every single one.
01:18:50
Speaker
You know, I look at Morgan Tron. How old do you think she is? In her late 20s? Oh, no, I think she's in her 30s, definitely. Okay, 30s, but she's ah she's attractive enough. She can, but but you know what? She's this leftist that went to college and got brainwashed into...
01:19:07
Speaker
you know being a leftist, basically. But she's got a she's got enough presence on camera if she's twenty seven that she could twenty seven she can she can do what Nick Shirley does and probably be very successful if she was honest.
01:19:24
Speaker
And she's stuck in this um working for ABC. or five yeah And ah yeah you know she's mainly a Columbus reporter. She's a state-ass reporter, yep.
01:19:36
Speaker
It's like, man, i look i look at her and I'm like, you know, if she was honest about what, you know, really being a good reporter, she could really kick ass on social media and make a living that way. Start a podcast.
01:19:51
Speaker
She's got a little bit of recognition already, but no, she's an activist working for ABC. That's all she is. When you type in how old is Morgan Trowell, it says her name and gives her phone number.
01:20:02
Speaker
I thought it was odd. I'm not sure. If it actually is her phone. I'm not going to say it. Probably shouldn't have said that. I mean, why is it on there? It's fastpeoplesearch.com. It's probably not. her It's probably like her work. I'm sure it's not her number. Maybe, but I was going to say at at this point. I still can't get order of i still can't get over the fact her favorite food is sumo orange. That alone makes her like a twat, but.
01:20:27
Speaker
a commie or something at this point in her career with the connection she's made, she could go independent and probably kill it. If she, if she's probably wouldn't have the access she does now, but it doesn't matter. i think she ah depends, but, uh, she already, she already has the phone numbers, right? Maybe she won't. Yeah. Maybe she won't get exactly access at first, but I think, uh, you know, something like Nick Shirley, who had to start from nothing and just start, you know, I think she could, she could probably do even better, but, uh, you know,
01:20:56
Speaker
So she basically they're saying what fraud, but fraud. And some of the reports I've heard is this was, i think Ohio dot news reported this, that in the first hours of ah fraud, the DeWine administration found $20 million dollars in fraud, take care fraud.
01:21:17
Speaker
And so so far, and those are reports, those are leaked, that's a leaked report. It's not an actual official one, but ah ah of course they're not going to come out with that right off the bat. You know, they're going to try to find some way to cover it up. But, and I thought, let's start looking at a this daycare fraud in Ohio.
01:21:34
Speaker
And I found this next report. Let's just, this is like a little bumper, like a little bit of advertisement for the, for the news. And this is what they're saying about the fraud. thursday Daycare centers making millions in taxpayer dollars. Clubs claiming they watched kids who may not have even been there. There's something seriously wrong here. 10 Investigates uncovers big trouble in daycare attendance tracking. I just want to ask you some questions about whether there's fraud going on. There there' is no fraud going on. And a state agency denying the problem. We've been telling them, you know, it shouldn't take it ending up on television before they take it serious. 10 Investigates. Double dealing daycare. Thursday at 11 on 10 TV News.
01:22:15
Speaker
That's 10 news out of Columbus. And I pulled this up and I was like, wow, wow. Okay. Let me look up this article so I can put it in the rundown. Oh, that I can't. That clip was for 10 years ago. 10 years ago. i went, okay, okay, okay. 10 years ago. It's been 10 years.
01:22:31
Speaker
I started looking into how Ohio deals with ah you know publicly funded daycares. And it's way better than in Minnesota. Way better than Minnesota. I think, well, they've got to, they've I'm sure they've cleaned it up.
01:22:44
Speaker
No, I saw another report from seven years ago, another report from four years ago, all the same kind of deal. It's different levels of fraud. but and to DeWine's point, there is always fraud. you I don't think you can eliminate fraud completely.
01:22:58
Speaker
So to his point, I guess he's he's kind of right in that sense, but Ohio is I don't think it's going to be, when they come down to it, not going anywhere near as bad as Minnesota. And one of those, ah couple of those reasons,
01:23:13
Speaker
well, just flew right past all my notes here and ah and my list of stories. So i got we got backtrack. But anyway, there is a lot of things that they do now in Ohio that Minnesota doesn't do.
01:23:29
Speaker
Let me see if I can pull this up. Here it is right here. They have random checks. They have yearly checks. They have has concept comprehensive review process.
01:23:42
Speaker
And every time, if you, and so some reports have said usually every inspection usually takes most of the day. They go through every piece of paper. They look at every in and out.
01:23:53
Speaker
And, you know, when you compare it to Minnesota, It's way better. Minnesota basically did. Minnesota was, as far as I can see it, is based on enrollment, not attendance.
01:24:12
Speaker
And i think part of the reason is There was a a something passed during the Biden administration. i think by the end of 2026, they required all daycares taking federal funds to to to go by enrollment and not attendance.
01:24:31
Speaker
The thing is, I think, yeah, I agree. It's better than Minneapolis, but it's not... It's not foolproof. here's here's here's the Here's the caveat to that. Like you can, maybe maybe it's easier there, but when you have an entire community doing this, it's easy to for commit fraud.
01:24:55
Speaker
ah we're We're going to get an inspection today or next week. let's Make sure everybody's here. I don't know. They do random inspections as well. There's a how-to-new story. This guy, I don't know if you, I put this in late, so didn't really expect you to get it. I read it, and this guy's a joke. Well, yeah, he comes off with it. It's a swipe on the face. No, screw. Well, he's an honest guy. He's an honest guy. I get you.
01:25:20
Speaker
But he's not smart enough to realize that people are committing fraud. impossible to commit fraud, he says. Right. No, it's impossible because he's honest. There was one great line in his thing here. Hang on one second. I think you're trying to find this. Go ahead.
01:25:36
Speaker
Towards the end, ah my accountants would bust me before anybody. Well, yeah, no shit. Well, no, that's not the quote. Because you're honest. That's not the quote. Here's quote me.
01:25:46
Speaker
ahead. He's looking at it like they've got the same accountants. It's like, no, they got accountants that are helping them. That's what, that's, you know, this guy's, this guy's like not really...
01:26:00
Speaker
seeing the big picture. It kind of proves your point. And if if you continue on during that quote, because the last part of that quote says, I don't see how it's possible without a blind eye being turned somewhere. No shit. Right. are you No kidding, you freaking idiots. That's exactly what we're talking about.
01:26:15
Speaker
Well, it can't happen to unless somebody's on the inside. Yes. Yes, exactly. yeah Yeah. When you have a whole team, but when you have a whole community doing this, it's not hard.
01:26:26
Speaker
Yes. And it's not just daycare. And I'm not saying every Somalian person is doing this, but every Somalian person that's ah signed up at a fraudulent... dayca They are all doing it. Yes. And, and, and here's the other thing.
01:26:42
Speaker
Why the hell do they need so many daycares? These women don't work. Well, there you go. And that's, uh, okay. Uh, you know why? Because they're signing up for this. The, the place that's running it is saying, well, you could sign up for it. We're organic're going to, we're going to get this much money a month and have, you know, you step in once a month and we'll give you I've got multiple wives. Yeah.
01:27:05
Speaker
yeah ah Some can work and some can stay home with the kids and then you could charge daycare and all those other stuff. so they um they So people are going out in Ohio. I mean, Tom, it's 71% on welfare from the Somalian community. They're not working. It's not all Somalians who are doing this, but most of people doing this.
01:27:27
Speaker
so What do say? What do you say? How dare are you? Are they like... Do they need daycare because they need to go clickily clack somewhere? i don't understand why they need so much daycare.
01:27:41
Speaker
Not every Somalian is committing fraud, but the evidence is showing that most of the fraud committed is in this case in daycares, at least in Minnesota, is by Somalians.
01:27:52
Speaker
right so And the other thing is a Somalian child, a little Somalian child, you could put him, have him stare at a wall. He won't know. Eight hours later, you just turn him around. He doesn't even know eight hours went by. okay ah that was good They just like rock back and forth staring at a wallpaper. Here, we just painted this wall. Watch it dry. And you have to sit there all day. Yeah, with lead. Lick it.
01:28:18
Speaker
No, yeah after it's dry, then you then you could peel it off and eat it like chips. And as we dig a little further, it's gotten so bad, Tom, that John Rocker is in Ohio. yeah it' it's John Rocker has decided to come to Ohio and investigate child daycares, which I thought was kind of weird. him in I love John Rocker. He's hilarious and he's he's a great troll. He's going around ah with, what's his name? Jack Windsor.
01:28:47
Speaker
Yeah, Jack Windsor. He was knocking on places and I think we got to ah play some of the clips next week from him. Yeah. Because he's he's putting them out. he put He only put one out, I think, since the other day. So far. We'll save a little bit. But he, um that's, how I mean, that's how bad it is. We need John Rocker to come in here. And so speaking of daycare after daycare. Sorry, go ahead.
01:29:11
Speaker
I was going to say, I don't know what his shtick is. I like John Rocker, and he's a pretty good troll on X. He's bored. don't know if you caught him on Timcast IRL. When was that?
01:29:25
Speaker
Oh, it's been over a year. He was on there. he He was a good guest, but he he he doesn't have the... oh he's ah What I'm lacking right now. He's kind of a dumb jock. He doesn't have... dumb chuck Kind of. he He comes across that way, even though I even though i i think he's smarter than he comes across. yeah How he articulates things is not that, but it's it's also part of his charm. Yeah.
01:29:53
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I guess so. it's But i like is he trying to like develop a career here by doing this, or is it just a shtick, or he's doing it for fun? don't think he needs he's money. He's an retired millionaire. He's got an analysis to, I don't know, i have no idea. Is he to have any ti to hes from Ohio? I don't know. Maybe he's from Ohio.
01:30:11
Speaker
I think he played here for a little bit, Didn't Indians. He played here. We got him from Atlanta. I think he played for one or two seasons. I think, yeah. And just watching him run out of the bullpen was the best. I mean, he's our generation ah oh shitt from ah Major League.
01:30:27
Speaker
Oh, a Major League. of that some um Yeah. I'm winning. Yeah, both of those names. i The character's name and the Charlie Sheen character. I forget the character's name. That's him.
01:30:40
Speaker
That was always John Rocker. Hard throwing, big mouth. is He was great. A little crazy. little crazy, right. But speaking of daycare. i don't want to be in front of him. No, no, Daycare after daycare. So here's another one from this guy named Walter Kurt.
01:30:53
Speaker
And he's been going around with a couple people. They've been kind of visiting daycares. And I didn't look too far into Walter Kurt because i'm ah I don't think he's from Ohio, this and that. But here he found a pattern that I thought was interesting. So here, I'll let him tell you.
01:31:07
Speaker
they're So they're in Columbus driving down what they call, i think, daycare row or something like that, where there's just tons of daycares. and But they they saw a pattern they thought was interesting.
01:31:18
Speaker
We got a special surprise for you because it goes daycare, daycare, daycare, adult daycare, daycare, daycare, daycare strip club.
01:31:32
Speaker
You can't make it up if you wanted to. but You really can't. Not even if you try. Is there like a Somali club? Buckeye is in full force. I leave that last part in. He calls it Operation Somali Buckeye.

01:32:43
Speaker
So they're there's not it's not just daycare fraud.
01:32:48
Speaker
It's something we've talked about in the show. i think I think it was your representative or one of the representatives from Ohio who was digging into healthcare fraud, Medicaid fraud in Ohio. They found possible billions of dollars in fraud.
01:33:04
Speaker
So that kind of got roped into this too, because what Nick Shirley's finding in Minnesota is it's not just daycare. There's also like medical transportation, medical center fraud, Medicaid fraud.
01:33:15
Speaker
And one of the, it's actually came up when I was on my trip, but yuke if you if you have a sick parent or even brother or something like that, and they're on Medicare, Medicaid, they can put you as caregiver and you'll get a check.
01:33:32
Speaker
And there's this attorney I've never, i don't think I've ever seen her before. Mahek? Mahek? Cook? Cook? No, we've, we've talked about her. Yeah. So she's been, yeah i think we've used her as a source. Okay. We've, she's bringing, been bringing this up for a while. Why don't, know, what's with this healthcare fraud and it's just way too easy. There's not enough oversight.
01:33:56
Speaker
So she's been going around now with this new, I think, new story, bringing it back up to light. She's been going around and checking it a little bit more and trying to figure out, hey, what's going on? Let's bring this to bring this to light along with the daycare fraud.
01:34:08
Speaker
and And some of the things that I've seen you know and with Nick Shirley and and a bunch of other people, it's not just here, it's everybody around the country starting to do it now.
01:34:17
Speaker
it if you want to If you want to look innocent, there's there's there's a way to handle a situation and a way not to handle situations. I get into DeWine's point.
01:34:28
Speaker
I understand that you're not just going to be let into any daycare. The doors should probably be locked in most cases, unless they have a foyer or something where they can lock a second door, so on and so forth. No one's asking Morgan to come in and film children.
01:34:41
Speaker
Nobody was asking to come in and film children. So shame on you for that. They are asking questions when the doors are locked. It's during business hours, during school. And the doors are locked. The windows are all blocked off with like paper, some cases, and whatever else.
01:35:01
Speaker
No one's answering the phone. No one's answering the door. Oh, yeah. And the sign's misspelled. You know. We're leaning. we're We're the leering center.
01:35:12
Speaker
Yeah, they missed it. They forgot the N. Leaning center? They called it the leering center. no i Oh, okay. The leering center. It was a quality leering center. it was the one that that really hit. That when you get that else, the other thing, when you I saw videos later on, like days later of ah ah rappers going over there to do to do a concert for the kids.
01:35:34
Speaker
And they couldn't get in because there's nobody those oh kids there. And so they started rapping and doing some stuff outside the door, you know, where the layering center is. It was pretty funny. But, uh, so nobody's going in and asking to see the kids and it was, Oh, this pervert, Nick Shirley. No, we're asking questions and, and it's calling them perverts. Like calling them a racist. It's in my opinion, you're, you're just deflecting.
01:35:56
Speaker
You're trying to be, you know, trying to, uh, spin up your, your lefty friends, I guess. But me, heck, she's going on She's going to daycares, but she's also going to healthcare providers. So I think this is where the fraud, you're going to find the fraud, is the healthcare care providers.
01:36:12
Speaker
Not as much, are you're going to find lots of fraud in the daycare, but I think it's going to be, I think it's harder to do it there than it is in the healthcare. But again, here's how not to handle it. When someone comes to your door, someone comes to your door, so they show up at this building. It's just a plain old office building.
01:36:31
Speaker
and And I think their numbers they throw out are like 30 healthcare providers in this one building. And as you walk down there, they so the the clip will start, they're in a hallway knocking on a door and it's just got a, it's just got a name plate on it and a piece of paper with some healthcare name of a healthcare company taped to the door. And that's like a lot of them i saw were like that. it was just like this,
01:36:54
Speaker
cheap, they literally printed a piece of paper, taped it to the door. So they're knocking on doors trying to ask questions. And I think Nick did this too in Minnesota, like, Hey, I need some healthcare. You know, how do I sign up for some healthcare care costs pricing? And they would, Nope, Nope. Can't fill. it No, any paper to fill out? No. So it's not just daycares.
01:37:11
Speaker
So is he still a pervert when he goes to a healthcare center asking to get his 90 year old grandmother signed up for Medicaid? I don't think so. So that's what my heck is doing. And I, I don't think they have an actual,
01:37:23
Speaker
camera and their hand it looks like it's mounted to somebody one of the people's which is with two other gentlemen two or three i can't can't remember um so i don't think it's but the guy does point out like oh you've got a camera or something so so i think i think it's pretty evident that there's a camera there it's just not in his hand it sounds like so so i say and i say that because i mean if someone comes to the door with a camera in their hand i'm going to be a little a little bit standoffish right so here's But here's how not to handle it.
01:37:54
Speaker
I'll start with this. This is Mehek, and there again, you're knocking on the someone comes in and goes, hey, what are you doing? and And you'll see her reaction, and then what happens after that? How may I help you? Oh, are you with this? What's going I was just going to ask a couple questions about home health care for somebody in their 90s. We're not ready to answer questions.
01:38:12
Speaker
Okay. You're not taking patients? No, we're not taking patients. Okay. All right. Thank you very much. All right. I just want to point out, stop it for a second. She asked a question.
01:38:24
Speaker
He said, i'm not answering questions. She said, you're not taking any more patients? No, you have to go. What does she do? Okay. Goodbye. They go to leave. Bye.
01:38:36
Speaker
Bye.
01:38:40
Speaker
What are you guys doing here? I'm asking about home health care services. Look, you're not a home health care service. I know you. I know you. I don't think you know me. but I know you. Okay, I'm a heck? No, no, I'm not going to shake hands. That's okay.
01:38:54
Speaker
That's fine. You can record whatever you want. Oh, I know. We're recording because was assaulted. Because I know you. I just spread a lot of bunch of BS. What's the BS? You're talking about some others. I've seen you so many times in there in the in in Fox News.
01:39:06
Speaker
I've spoken about the issue in Minnesota, or Minneapolis in particular. Listen. Listen. I'm listening. Listen. I'm listening. You're from India. You're not a white person. I wasn't trying to pretend I was. Listen.
01:39:19
Speaker
Get out of our house. You're not supposed to be here. This isn't private property. It's a private property. It's not. It's a private property. We've got every right to be here. No, no, you don't have right to be here. We have every right to be here. We're spreading lies. We're not spreading any lies. Yeah, you guys are not supposed to be here. Because your last night in school doesn't mean that you're white. You are from India, and you have just spent a lot of bunch of years. It's not a bunch of years. Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are? Why are you coming to our ass? Why are you coming to our ass? We're not coming to our ass. You guys, you guys, you guys, you guys, you guys, the next 20 minutes of the video is basically that right there. They're just talking over each other. Yeah. That's well. And the arrogance in this video is listen, listen, and the low IQ. Listen, this is what you have to do.
01:40:08
Speaker
I said, you have to do this and this, and you have to go down you have to do this. And she goes, and the guy goes, this later on the video. The guy goes, cause the one guy, the the guy who's calling her which the question I had, I wrote down is that does Somali and India have a beef or something? like What's, what's this problem with India?
01:40:24
Speaker
Average IQ. You're Indian. You're not, if you're not white. what If she was white, would it, would it have been better? You called her a racist because you, cause you're, cause you're Brown. Uh, but, uh,
01:40:37
Speaker
but So he's this guy that's talking talking about Indian and white and all this other stuff. she She's like, eventually she's like, I'm not even talking you She's talking to the other guy that, that originally was with this guy. And he's saying, no, you have to go and you should go and check the inspections. Yeah.
01:40:53
Speaker
you know, you should go check the inspections and how they do them. And that they show that even if we have a little, he he's saying something like we have one missing timesheet or something, we get a violation. She goes, we've done that.
01:41:04
Speaker
we've We've got, we've gone down there. No, you haven't. Stop lying. Stop lying. And she's like, well, what the, like the area, like, no, this is what you need to do. Well, we did that. No, you're not. No, you didn't. Well, what the, he's in the, why do you think there's a hundred percent fraud here? She goes, I never said there was fraud here. Why you, why are you saying there's fraud here?
01:41:23
Speaker
Guilty. Here's how not to handle it. Maybe, but they sure do look guilty when you when you get so mad. i Guilty. going to be standoffish and the guy's got a camera and all other stuff. so you You want to be careful what you say because blah, blah, blah. You don't know who this is, this and that. Apparently he does.
01:41:39
Speaker
But this is not, here's how to handle it. Here's the, here's the next one. Here's how to handle it. This is another daycare that I don't, I don't think it was Mehek. I think it was some, i think it might've been that Walter Kurt. Now think about it, but, oh no, it's, it's Chad Canton.
01:41:52
Speaker
Canton. Canton. Um, And he, they they're going to a couple daycares and, and they get, they get in a conversation with this guy at a, at a date. Now they've got their windows blacked out at this daycare, but they have it black. They have them covered with like, like a blue film with like birds on it and stuff like that. Not just paper from the inside, like some of the ones that's Minnesota and some of the other ones. And, but there are people, it people there, they had just done an OAN or OAN interview in front of the daycare.
01:42:19
Speaker
We'll bring up like, they saw kids going in and out. So they, they think it's a legit, but so, but here's how to handle it.
01:42:26
Speaker
So that is our concern, and we appreciate you guys for you doing it. Anything that is fraud, we are against you too. Perfect. But we are not only like um saying why it's going this way.
01:42:39
Speaker
It has to go. Which is something good you guys are doing it. It has to go. But the only thing I'm requesting, tell the truth. Yeah, that's what we're doing. If anybody that you guys find it, that they are not open their daycares, they don't have no kids, they are doing something wrong, turn it in. I agree with you. During our interview with OAN, we saw multiple kids going out of here. We weren't saying anything about this one. It's just the time we had to do it. Anytime, anytime. We are not against this. Anytime. Anything that is true, anything that is true, I'm with you I appreciate you. And as far as the window, I don't want to see kids. I just want to see if it's actually, you know, is it not an empty building? Because some these places, we don't even know there's anything in there.
01:43:20
Speaker
That's how you should handle it. slightly higher IQ of 84, but still, even if you're committing fraud, you probably should. I mean, you look really bad.
01:43:32
Speaker
i mean, you're kind of pointing yourself out. So that is, ah
01:43:38
Speaker
that's that. I mean, that's what we've been talking about this for what? Holy shh. Oh my gosh. We got to move. Uh, So DeWine says no fraud, but I think he's going to eat those words, especially when it starts to come to healthcare care fraud.
01:43:53
Speaker
um Anything else you want to add to that, Tom? I think we've talked about it enough.
01:44:00
Speaker
No, we talked about it enough. i The healthcare fraud, i don't look at that as a community thing. this This is a community. Just one more thing. And in end i I don't even think it's only Somalians. Oh, no it's definitely not only Somalians. It may be a lot of people in their community, but it's not just Somalians. And that's what the the book report from 10 years ago, it wasn't just Somalians. It was, it's...
01:44:22
Speaker
It's fraud. If you make it easy and it's even all Somalians in Minnesota either. Um, one last point on this is what we found out during all this is the former, a former Ohio healthcare care administrator. They have his name on here.
01:44:37
Speaker
I probably couldn't pronounce it anyway. Oh yeah. Abu Kar Tahari Osman um has been exposed. He is our current United ah Nations ambassador Somali. He was an Ohio healthcare administrator tied up in some healthcare fraud.
01:44:56
Speaker
And he is the UN ambassador. Came out, ah ah Elon Musk brought him up. That's one the tweet I saw. I think it Elon Musk said, got to fire him. Arrest him. Yeah.
01:45:06
Speaker
Arrest him. but How did he he become, he's, oh he's He's Somalis. You an ambassador. oh yeah. Somalis. You an ambassador. Not, I thought he was our ambassador to Somalia, but no, he's, he went back to Somalia, become ambassador.
01:45:21
Speaker
So yeah that guy needs to be kicked out, but moving on because the other big story, you normally this might've been a lead story if it wasn't for the other three or four.
01:45:33
Speaker
Um, um, some Yeah, this got washed away pretty quick, right? I don't know if it's as in as big as I originally thought it was. i ah So here's the story.
01:45:45
Speaker
some Some adult child, as they're calling him, attacked. like it I haven't seen that. That's in the ah in the police, the Channel 5, I think they're calling him that.
01:45:56
Speaker
ah and And I think we're finding out why. So the this kid, this person is not a kid. He's 27 years old. ah This man who is... 26. Has mental illnesses, is what they're bringing up, attacked J.D. Vance's home in where ah in the Cincinnati area or wherever um and with a hammer.
Mental Health and Security Incidents
01:46:17
Speaker
I mean, seems... Seems crazy because i think he is a little nuts. He's he's got some issues. And he jumped, up hopped the fence, ran across the yard, and started hitting windows with a hammer.
01:46:32
Speaker
Now, good question was brought up during all this Minnesota stuff. If the Vance family was not there, so it's good for him, I think, the Vance family was not there. Because the question was asked at some point in here, I heard it or read it. if If the Vance family was there, would they have shot him?
01:46:50
Speaker
Well, this um ah Secret Service. sort of i I think if he had gotten up to that point, maybe. But my my feeling is they wouldn't have got there. the The only reason he got there that far is because Vance wasn't there.
01:47:04
Speaker
If JD, they had one guy at the gate. That's basically it. And and cameras. They used digital surveillance and then put one person on. But if he had gotten up to hitting the. yeah they would have shot him. Yeah, and they've been and they would have had every right to shoot him.
01:47:17
Speaker
ah so It's funny how this originally was being recorded as a trans. Yes. ah Attacking his home, and then it that disappeared. Then it became mentally ill, which is that's very um redundant. anymore on Yeah. i think they You don't see too many. like This guy called himself Jane or Jamie. Right, Jamie? I think so, yeah.
01:47:39
Speaker
Something like that, right? Julie, Jamie. For a while, so And comes from a very wealthy family. ah Dad's a doctor or surgeon. Supposedly. So it makes you wonder what kind of drugs he's taking. Supposedly large Democratic donor, I've heard multiple times.
01:47:55
Speaker
Right. Let's see. I'm trying to find. Jamie. Jamie. Jamie's creepy. Oh yeah. Look at those eyes. Can you imagine him? Like he's in front of the mirror. No, like he's like puts on a short screen. How do you like my skirt?
01:48:11
Speaker
Is it sexy? Is it too short? Like if I bend over, do you see my balls? The odd thing is he sounds like he has mental illness. He's a straight A student.
01:48:23
Speaker
Which I generally does. Yeah. I mean, it's not, it's not that hard to be a straight age student. Depending on your mental illness. But a lot of times mental illness will pull you away from that. But if you got there a certain, you know, if you're 80 or. um Oh yeah. I got family members that are retarded that are straight age students were. Yeah.
01:48:41
Speaker
um ever Read, memorize, take a test. fliing through You don't have any critical thinking to do. Just do that. I'm currently flipping through family memories in my head, figuring out who that is. ah That's an easy one.
01:48:54
Speaker
I know. Okay. So I'm just trying to find out where they call them a man child or adult child. I have a master's. oh Oh, actually, I have a few of those too. Yeah. Okay.
01:49:08
Speaker
But the thing is, so, and I can't find it, but they did call him an adult child, of numerous reports I heard. And he's done this before. So my question is. Yeah, he didn't, didn't he beat the crap out of some, ah was it a car dealership or something? ah That was one thing, but recently, but point is when he took, when he went to court for this one, he went to court for two things because in the last couple of weeks he did this to another business somewhere.
01:49:35
Speaker
Like a, I can't remember. I saw an interview with a woman saying, yeah, I couldn't believe it when I saw the news that this is the same guy who did it to my business something. just went randomly up to some some place and started breaking the windows with a hammer. Oh, a crowbar this time wasn't a hammer.
01:49:48
Speaker
So when he when he went when he got arraigned, he went to court for two file for two cases, both about the same thing. So i start looking at it going, um hello, parents, where you been?
01:50:01
Speaker
starts at some point, it starts becoming your fault. Like you need to be held accountable because you're not controlling your mentally ill kid. And if he keeps getting out office meds and vandalizing places or assaulting people in some cases, maybe you should start looking at because apparently he can't take care of himself and you need to take care of him and maybe you should be held accountable at some point. You know what? I bet you this kid was taking some kind of... ah Pills.
01:50:27
Speaker
Drugs. Pretty sure they even mentioned that somewhere. Yeah, I didn't read into this too much, but ah yeah is he even their responsibility anymore, though? is with them
01:50:42
Speaker
I don't know. I guess at a certain point, if if he's that mentally ill, yes. but I don't know if... He was sentenced to a mental hospital. So... mental facility, I guess it's called mental health facility for two years.
01:50:59
Speaker
and And if anyone has the chance to catch the mom speaking, his mom speaking, and she did a pretty good job except she she said a prayer for everybody involved, including the Vance family.
01:51:12
Speaker
i don't want to, don't want to go too much, but She really was struggling with the with the part of the prayer about the Vance family. She was really struggling, it looked like. But I could be wrong. They're probably triggered. she's got She's got many issues. And even she was saying, i she even said in the prayer, i up until now, I didn't realize the challenges of raising a family or having a family in the spotlight.
01:51:37
Speaker
But there's a couple times she she does this like little, like almost like she's getting the chills by saying, and the Vance family. family so but i mean her lawyer her her lawyer probably said you probably should do that so can't imagine uh anyway why this kid's messed up anywho yeah i can i can i know i know so that's that one jd vance is attacked by he she that was quickly under the rug and the next big story we had is the teams have been announced tom
01:52:12
Speaker
So but within a day of each other, same day, basically, Vivek and Amy announced their Lieutenant Governor Picks.
Political Strategies and Technological Initiatives
01:52:21
Speaker
And let's hear from Morgan, which does, ah she does a better job. but She's much more, seems a little bit more fair at this. You know, she does a better job. as Well, there's nothing to be really, could be, activist about here.
01:52:35
Speaker
So, where am I at? How, here I am. Morgan, Lieutenant Governor Picks.
01:52:42
Speaker
The teams have been decided. Both front runners in Ohio's 2026 governor's race have chosen their running mates. Republican Vivek Ramaswamy has chosen Senate President Rob McCauley, an attorney from Northwest Ohio, as his lieutenant governor pick. We need ah leadership that's going to lead boldly, leadership that's going to lead um unapologetically in many in many ways, to make a lot of very tough decisions to get us to that next level. McCauley has held leadership positions in state government for years with a main focus on cutting taxes. He was instrumental in getting Ohio's new flat income tax passed, something Ramaswamy supported. Ramaswamy has previously told us that he wanted someone to work well with the legislature to push his policy ideas.
01:53:27
Speaker
That's the type of leadership we need to build upon the foundation that we've already set in this state to make us not just the best in the Midwest, but the best in the entire country. After the pick, Governor Mike DeWine officially endorsed the pair, citing McCauley as a reason.
01:53:41
Speaker
And Democrat Dr. Amy Acton has picked her second in command, former party leader and attorney David Pepper. There's an excitement of joining such a great leader, but there's also a seriousness of joining at a time where there are major problems. It's time for some serious people to get in to solve them. Pepper was the expected choice. From Cincinnati, he served in local government for years and focused on affordability. Acton's campaign has prioritized working people and lessening the rising costs. I was looking for somebody who was a true leader in their own right, who cares passionately about the people of this state. Pepper is known as an outspoken advocate for democratic causes, amassing more than a hundred thousand followers online as he fights for policies. He's also a major political donor.
01:54:26
Speaker
Ah, there we go. There we go. Wait.
01:54:31
Speaker
How do you get into lieutenant governor? Become a major political donor is one way. Um, I think though, before I rip too much on, on Amy and, and Mr. Pepper, Dr. Pepper, ill like to call him The, uh, there's one, one thing missing from this report.
01:54:48
Speaker
Um, where's Vivek?
01:54:53
Speaker
Vivek, sorry. Where's Wamaswamy? He's waiting for you to pronounce him his name right. No, he's not because nobody does. She has 17,000 followers and he has 100. I wonder why she picked him. ah that's And it's a good thing to point it out, but where's Wamaswamy at? Why didn't we hear from him?
01:55:11
Speaker
We heard from Amy, Pepper, and Macaulay. Good point. that's a that That could be an editor's choice Maybe. I'm thinking it's because he's not in Ohio.
01:55:23
Speaker
currently yeah yeah i mean yeah so that to me that's you know i kind of kind of stuck out stood up stood out to me as like oh we heard from everybody but the vague think about that but yes yes morgan the teams thanks thanks for pointing out and pushing that team politics things because it's working so well for us teams have been picked Anything else to say about this? ah It doesn't seem like Pepper has done a whole lot. And McCauley, you know, he's been a legislator for years, which could go, could be for or against him, depending how you look at it.
01:56:00
Speaker
ah But the only thing that Pepper has done is, I think, lose.
01:56:05
Speaker
the only thing Amy's done is quit. So, perfect.
01:56:11
Speaker
And hey, Vivek, where you at, buddy? Can you come to Ohio and...
01:56:17
Speaker
Show us how it's done. he was talking somewhere. he was putting out a lot of stuff lately. I forget where it was from. He was in Ohio for the meeting or for the announcement. So why didn't, maybe to your point, maybe they just cut off. I think it's an editing thing.
01:56:32
Speaker
ah It's always that. who knows Who knows if and our Morgan even went to ask him. And yeah but secondly, she might if she did, Channel 5 could take that out. Good point. She may not even have even gone.
01:56:48
Speaker
with should say...
01:56:54
Speaker
ah say
01:56:56
Speaker
she probably she couldt She easily could have gotten McCulley's comment while she was at the statehouse. She's usually at the statehouse every day. so Right, right. and That's true, too. But what about the other guy?
01:57:07
Speaker
Oh, yeah I see. but yeah yeah Yeah, you're right. Yeah, peppers and Pepper lives here. That's kind of my point to all this. But um does Vivek live here? I don't think he does. i mean, he has a house here, but does he live here? ah where I was going to put in... What did I?
01:57:23
Speaker
did I put in the, Oh no, it was in my X feed. So, so at, she had an event at some restaurant somewhere. Let me see if I can pull it up here. And so there was like 15 people they'd look like at this restaurant.
01:57:38
Speaker
And yeah. And so I'm looking at it going, wow, that's, that's odd. And then I'm on X and the, uh, this, left wing poster.
01:57:50
Speaker
I'll leave his name out of it because he's kind of a douche, but he he brought up a good point. And in the background of the meeting, hanging on the wall of merch at this restaurant, this little, it'll look like a little local restaurant.
01:58:04
Speaker
It says there's a shirt hanging, there a red shirt hanging in the background. It's it's a merch wall. So there's cups and stuff around it. It says, eat more balls. ah Sorry, left pancakes.
01:58:16
Speaker
ah Eat more pancake balls. So he put, this guy puts, posts a ah picture of it going, um ideally speaking, and this is ah a guy who's, ah supporting Amy. That seems like his choice.
01:58:31
Speaker
Ideally speaking, when you roll out your state's gubernatorial ticket to the masses, the advanced team ensures that it's impossible for the leading candidate, quote unquote, I put that in there, to get caught in a picture featuring the phrase, eat more balls.
01:58:46
Speaker
And he shows the picture of Amy shaking hands with the pancake on the shirt crossed out. It says, eat more balls. Yeah. But that was funny. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That'd give you a good sign that maybe they're not, they're not doing their due diligence, but probably would have taken that down.
01:59:01
Speaker
But pancake balls sound delicious. Clip that. Uh, so is that anything else you want to say about that?
01:59:14

No. um While you're at it, while we're, while we had a little break, subscribe to the show, tell your friends about the show. Really appreciate you listening. We're having such a good time doing this. Really, really getting into the nitty gritty of these, these stories and, and trying to bring out what, what we feel is the important part.

01:59:58
Speaker
Next on our list, Ohio lawmakers think that, well, speaking of low IQ, I should say, ah ah speaking of low IQ Ohio lawmakers, they think um blimps are still a thing.
02:00:11
Speaker
yeah But when you see who's involved, you kind of figure it makes sense to you. You see who these people... So there's a U.S. representatives, Amelia Sykes and Dave Joyce, reinstate the Airship Improvement Research for Safety and Humanitarian Innovation Project Act.
02:00:33
Speaker
Now, what I didn't do... So that's... Let me get a piece of paper here. Actual paper. So it is the airship, that's A, improvement i research R, the four is not capitalized, so we'll go skip that. S for safety, H for humanitarian, I, P, A. It spells airship-a.
02:01:00
Speaker
i didn' I didn't think it would spell anything, but it actually spells air, A-I-R-S-H-I-P-A, airship-a. The Airship Act, I'm sure is what they're going to call it. ah Because the quote I pulled this story was from, oh, our wonderful Miss Sykes.
02:01:18
Speaker
Speaking a low IQ, airships are not just a part of our history. They're a part of our future.
02:01:27
Speaker
What the
02:01:32
Speaker
How are they part of our future? We've had them in Ohio for, I don't know, 100 years? 60, 70? How long is a Goodyear blimp been up? And before then we had And what do we use them for now?
02:01:45
Speaker
ah it's It's a floating banner. Yeah, that's... I think. So what will this project, what will this thing do? here's here's Here's the key. Launder money.
02:01:56
Speaker
The bill would allow NASA to launch research initiatives exploring how airships can improve safety, reduce noise, and environmental impact and enhance resiliency in hard to reach areas.
02:02:13
Speaker
Hey, I need some food. I'm in a hard to reach area. no problem. We're going to send airship. To get a crew of like 40 people, a huge field, no trees around, and low winds. but We're fine. We're fine.
02:02:25
Speaker
Great. We can get anywhere with those with those ah low crap. At first, I was like... That was fail, Tom.
02:02:37
Speaker
Sorry, I have to put it out there. Yeah, I was... Yeah, I failed on that. What were you going to say? i ah I... At first, I was thinking... um
02:02:50
Speaker
This was just a way to bribe NASA's stay. I think it's- Or get them to move here. ah I should say the main office, because we talked about that early on last year. Yeah. You know, we're trying to get them to Ohio, but the more I think about it, this is just- This is Sykes trying to get money for her district, because that's her district is where the blimps are parked at in her district. So she's the Ohio 13th District, which Sykes represents is the home of the world famous Goodyear blimp.
02:03:19
Speaker
And like one of the few blimps that fly anymore. Why? Because they suck. They're a horrible way to travel. Horrible way to travel. They're quiet though. They're quiet.
02:03:31
Speaker
They're slow. They don't hold a lot of people. the the The ones we have now hold like five. And, uh, and when, where and when you land, you literally need like 40 people to, to land, ah tight to grab it and tie it down. And then, uh, it's,
02:03:48
Speaker
Interestingly enough, you know why they had the spire on the the Empire State Building was supposed to be a port for Zeppelins coming from Europe. Nice. But they figured out maybe it wouldn't be a great idea to moor it, ah you know, a thousand, you know, whatever, however tall the Empire State Building is, six, seven hundred feet in the air or whatever. little windy there. Yeah, and then you got to climb out and go down into this. Yeah, no, they thought after they think about this it, they said wasn't a good idea. They never actually did it because blimps suck.
02:04:17
Speaker
Anyway. Moving on. It is nice to get the that footage from above the stadiums. Yes. But now you can just do it with a drone, right?
02:04:29
Speaker
Wow. I think you just stumbled upon the whole point of this. Why does Goodyear need blimps anymore when they can just, you know how much money, could how much cheaper can our tires be if they get rid of the blimp program?
02:04:43
Speaker
four or five thousandths of a cent. I don't know, something like that. But you could say imagine Goodyear to like, they really got to keep these stupid freaking blimps in the air. What a waste of money.
02:04:54
Speaker
But I mean, they are, um when you got big events, they do get a lot of coverage. So yeah, it's, but you know, that's about all they're good for. I mean, I wouldn't say get rid of them. I just wouldn't i wouldn't say to they study. They are not, they are part of our past. They are definitely not part of our future. You crazy moron.
02:05:12
Speaker
Yeah. ah Speaking of crazy morons, ah AI in our and Ohio schools. the This is a quick one we'll just touch on because I'm sure we're gonna talk about this. The end is nigh. definitely is. it's It's definitely the end.
02:05:24
Speaker
The Ohio State Legislature is putting out guidelines, new guidelines about ah and incorporating artificial intelligence into the classrooms. So they're basically just putting out a a model policy is what they call it to encourage public schools. Like this is how you should incorporate it or what you should incorporate, you know, what to what extent.
02:05:47
Speaker
And um I guess it's a good thing. and We got to put some guidelines on it to a certain extent, but I'm thinking I'm torn on this because At one point I go, how about no AI in the classroom? But then on the other part, I mean, it it is a thing that exists. I know you have to have to learn something. It's like the struggle I had with my kids and devices and computers. I don't want them to be on it all the time, but I also don't want them to go into 17, 18 years old, not knowing how to use it of a phone or an iPad or or a computer, you know, over the internet or that kind of stuff. So it's a balance.
02:06:22
Speaker
I know so i know there's there are kids in my daughter's school, old oldest and youngest for sure, but oldest daughter that they still don't have phones. There's only a couple. But i think I think you have to bring it in. It it is going to be, we could discuss whether it's actually AI or not, but machine learning, whatever, it's it's it's a thing.
02:06:42
Speaker
It's a tool. We're still trying to figure out what it's actually good for. few things, but I think this is generally okay. ah I don't know. There's not a whole lot of details of what they're actually saying, but here, use AI, train your replacement.
02:07:00
Speaker
that but Not in the report. If you listen to the report, they say, oh, well, AI i can't replace a teacher. Really? You don't think so? Really? that's like That's a good one. Considering how good the teachers are nowadays. Yeah, it could replace them in a second. It could replace a lot of what teachers do.
02:07:18
Speaker
i think I think in like a lot of cases, it could limit how many teachers you have, but I think you eventually you still need it some human. Well. I don't think you can replace a great teacher, but i yeah but i but I don't think there's many great teachers.
02:07:30
Speaker
if few Overall, I should say. Yeah, just like everything else. So we're going to keep eye on that and see, you know, again, it's just a model. ah Pay attention, more importantly, pay attention to what's going on with your kids' schools because, you know, for example, I think my daughter's French teacher.
02:07:48
Speaker
hasn't given homework for 10 years. And, or more, she said for a long time, and and this is a few years ago. And the reason is because they can take it home and just translate it.
02:08:00
Speaker
So all the work is done in class because she can't trust the kids aren't going to cheat. It's so easy to cheat. she And she, I remember this a couple of years ago, she goes, and I'm sure one day they're going to have it so that you could just point your phone at the paper and it'll translate And I've raised my hand like, like I was in class. I said, Oh, actually that's already, Google's had that for like five years.
02:08:19
Speaker
Like Google had Google goggles years ago where you can go traveling, point your phone, your camera app, not even ah take a picture, just point the app at a sign and live translate it right there for you. It actually changed the words on the sign to show what it, what in um in English or or a lot of things. So, um so that's, that's, and they've already been doing this for years just with the internet and computers and stuff. So it's just kind of more of that. And and check that one off.
02:08:47
Speaker
Oh my gosh. Next measles. Oh my gosh. The measles are back, Tom. Measles are back. And there was, there there's a story that we actually didn't, i would, I would have gone along with this. Have you pulled?
02:09:02
Speaker
Is it in, I don't, you know what, I don't even know if I pulled it. might've bookmarked it on Twitter, but ah RFK changed the vaccination schedule for kids. did We talked a little bit about that, didn't we?
02:09:12
Speaker
couple. No, no, that just happened. no He went, he went from, he went from, so Yeah, but you only have to get 11 now. Yeah. Oh. But if you want to get all the ones that they... Yeah.
02:09:24
Speaker
No, no, no. Which good because it's going down from like 60 or whatever. They took away that much. That's like half, basically. I think it was in the 20s. I think little bit more than half. And ah you can you can still get the other ones if you want, but you're they're only recommending...
02:09:39
Speaker
not recommending, but ah requiring 11. Yeah. And which which is a pretty but big story. CDC's recommended vaccine for your children. It's, I don't think it's, yeah, it's recommendations, but like he said,
02:09:56
Speaker
a couple of years ago, probably oh when he was running for president, I think when he was on Joe Rogan's, like um what he's seen is when you get on the recommended child vaccine list, it's literally like printing $1 billion dollars a year.
02:10:08
Speaker
right and that's the advantage and that's why when i got it vaccinated it was like seven shots my kids got a vaccine it was well over almost 20 think i don't know if it was over 20 or not but shots but they have more than one even shots yeah you're right it's not 20 shots it's 20 vaccines because a lot of them do they're doing two or three at a time you do one they lot of times they would go in and do uh two or three shots but each shot was like two or three vaccines And don't they, don't they, um I mean, I don't know, I don't have kids, but aren't some of those shots, like, you get it again a few years later with the same vaccine? Yeah, there's a couple of them, there's two or three, ah you have to do it two or three times to, you know, because it works so well, you have to give it two and two or three times to, I, I, I'm, this kind of pisses me off because, not obviously to JFK or anything like that, but, ah because if I had kids now, I, if I had kids four or five years ago, I don't think I would have
02:11:04
Speaker
They would not have been as vaccinated at the at least. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I work with people that say the same thing that if they would haveve known more at the time. Yeah. With their younger children, they've been able, you know, they have yeah ah four kids. So like their oldest ones are, you know, got all the vaccines, but...
02:11:21
Speaker
Younger ones aren't yeah getting all the shots. And talked to more and more moms that are coming out and with with glee saying, nope, my kids aren't getting being vaccinated. At least not as much. I remember when ah i remember when a lot of people were taking this silly woman, ah Jenny McCarthy.
02:11:39
Speaker
they were you know A lot of people were making fun of her. And you know look back at it. She she was onto something back. And that's back in the I think. Early 2000s. Yep.
02:11:51
Speaker
Yeah, and basically ruined her career. Yeah, but you know yeah. mean, wasn't like here, but she still had a career. I don't think she has one anymore. She did have a career. she could had it it could have been ah It could have been a bigger career. I think she's kind of talented.
02:12:04
Speaker
She's hot, too. Yeah. was she She was. i mean, she's still in her elevated age. A little bit too much plastic surgery. Yeah, you have that. She's have that.
02:12:17
Speaker
So careful, there's measles. I did, there's a couple of cases, more than a couple, mostly from one family. And then I did a quick search. How many cases does Ohio average in up in measles cases? And they average a few a year.
02:12:35
Speaker
Yeah. years are some years are lower. It's nothing new. They do try to attach it to... low vaccine rates. But again, we're, I'd like to ask, you know, if you're vaccinated, how can you get it? Well, it's not an immunity.
02:12:50
Speaker
The other thing is ah they're, they're not like, not that they should, but it does make you wonder, are these migrants that got are we sick? You know what I mean? Are they illegal migrant migrants? like that Like that just got sent over to some random ah community? i don't I don't know. Maybe a couple years ago, you know, when the when they were flying yeah people from the border all around the country.
02:13:13
Speaker
ah Exactly. Yep. That's a good question. I think, but is the measles as bad as the super flu?
02:13:25
Speaker
Super flu now. Go ahead. No, no. Channel 3 says they have the answers on why this flu is so bad.
02:13:38
Speaker
So let's hear what the other thing. We're continuing to follow the latest numbers from health officials as flu cases across Ohio continue to surge. Hospitalizations have jumped from 745 to over 1,400 in the last week alone. In Cuyahoga County, the most recent data shows ER visits are at 479. That's up from 440 the year prior. Health experts say they are ah seeing more complications from the flu in children.
02:14:03
Speaker
So we're seeing kids with bacterial pneumonia, um kids needing chest tubes. But right now being in the trenches, it definitely feels bad.
02:14:14
Speaker
Like it just feels like there's a lot. Well, many have dubbed it the super flu. So to find out what makes this year's season so different and what can we do about it? Let's go to senior health correspondent Monica Robbins over Studio b because you have a person that has the answers. Yeah, I do actually. Yeah, this is becoming one of the worst flu seasons we've seen in a very long time. And a new variant is pushing this spread. And to learn more about what we're dealing with and what we need to do about it is Dr. Joseph Cabaza, a critical care pulmonologist at Cleveland Clinic.
02:14:46
Speaker
Thank you so much for being here. Is it the stream? It's nice for having me. Everybody's on the edge of their seat. They want to know, first of all, let's talk about this super flu thing that they're calling it now. Is this flu different from other flus we've seen in the past? and What really makes this flu different that's getting all the attention and label is that it's kind of mismatched and not fully, not as protected with the vaccine that we have going on. And it just seems to be more contagious than other flus we've had in the past. So that combination of more contagious and not as much protection, at least from infection with the current vaccine, it's getting a lot of attention and deservedly so. So it's not the variant. It's the crap a flu shot that you guys keep pushing on everybody. Get vaccinated.
02:15:30
Speaker
My body, my body. No, it's not. Wear a mask, Tom. I went for the trifecta. Wear a mask. But he's got the answers. So I'm going like, okay. So I didn't hear any answer. What he basically said is, no, it's not the it's not the variant. It's not the strain. It's not the variant of the flu. It's the fact that the flu shot sucks.
02:15:48
Speaker
And as we talked about, you know, a few shows ago, he's from the Cleveland Clinic. Yet he doesn't he doesn't bring up the whole fact of, you know, actually you're actually, you might be more likely to get the flu if you had the shot.
02:16:00
Speaker
But let's see, let's go a little bit further and see if he has any more answers. um Probably about over 90% of our flu A isolates or even more are this H3N2 subtype or subclade K, while there's a small percentage of the other influenza A as well as influenza B right now. oh So, you know, we know vaccination rates right now are hovering at 40%, which is typically kind of low and if not less. And a lot of people are hesitant to get vaccinated. Does it make a difference if they do so now?
02:16:31
Speaker
Of course it does. So getting vaccinated now still can help you in this flu season. I don't think we're anywhere near our peak, but it's not going to help you within the next two weeks. You know, it'll it's going to take about a couple of weeks for the immune system to kind of build up the defenses and the army specific to the ah to the vaccine when you get it. But after those two weeks, there's still going to be a lot of flu in late January, February, and even, you know, tailing into March. So there still is a lot of protection that can be ah obtained. And even with the mismatch, I think a lot of Patients are asking me well, since because of this mismatch and not having protection against this new variant, does that mean the vaccine is not effective? It means it's just not as effective at preventing infection altogether. But definitely when we look at studies from the UK and other countries, um there are signals that suggest it's going to help keep people out of hospitals or at least minimize the severity of illness. And that's really extremely important.
02:17:23
Speaker
There's evidence that it's, that suggests it might lessen your, wow, that flu shot really sucks this year.
02:17:33
Speaker
Talk to your doctor, people. That's, that's, that's the key here. You know you know what? Stay healthy and take some vitamin D. Just lose some weight. You'll get healthier. The flu won't hurt you. You know, the biggest comorbidities are flu and COVID and all stuff.
Health and Lifestyle Discussions
02:17:49
Speaker
Fat asses. Weight, right? oh Fat asses. Which most of us are, including myself. Oof, I think I added like 20 pounds. You know, I mean, yeah we do have a problem with that in this country, but and work out a little bit. Take a walk.
02:18:05
Speaker
Lose some weight. Touch grass. Take a walk. ah Take some vitamin D3, K2, whatever that's called, and... And you know what? If you're freaking sick, stay home.
02:18:18
Speaker
Well, as we've proven in the past, only if you test positive for COVID. If it's not COVID, you can go spread it to everybody else. Yeah. All right. And um wrapping up the show here, because we're going, ooh, a long one

Now, that's not really, that's that's a cool story. But really, if you go down, Medina has been involved in four movie films, filming of four different movies in the last year, I think it says.
02:19:01

02:19:24
Speaker
ah Manzeer, which is somebody, maybe, don't know it says it really in a thing, but he said the film was the fourth movie within the last year to have scenes filmed in Medina, which is kind of cool.
