Nick Reed 09.04.26 - Politics with Tom Martz

0:00Her home is well over 100 years old. The garage door is 18 foot wide and I don't know, seven or eight feet tall. It is a massive door. And I mean, it's obviously not the biggest in the world, but it's just a little larger than traditional. And so it's been a great going through the experience of her getting the estimates and working with the folks to set up a new garage door. And I'm just a big believer in customer service. I think that if you are treated well by the people in a interpersonal relationship, then they're probably going to do. They're more likely to do better work, better craftsmanship, as opposed to if they treat you really rudely and are indifferent to you and your needs and somewhat dismissive. They may also that they may translate to the way that they work when it comes to installing things and follow ups and so forth.

1:00And it's a big purchase if you are making one, but it has so much more than just the aesthetics of your home. There's safety components in there. There is the extreme temperatures in the winter versus the summer. And what impact you can have would believe it or not frozen pipes can be something that are impacted or the lack of because of a garage door and the level of insulation. There's just a lot more to it than you know, Brooklyn. And I know this having gone through the process of buying a new garage door. And so you, you know, want to keep that in mind. I suggest and Brooklyn door works. They have been experts at this for a very, very long time. And so it's one of the reasons when it comes to the need for a new garage door. Maybe you're building a new home and the contractor, they're just going to throw in the entry level. I recommend you reach out to Brooklyn door works and find out what's available because it is a long term purchase. And I'm pretty big into spending wisely, not cheaply because oftentimes cheaply ends up long term being more expensive ironically enough.

2:05Brooklyn door works dot com also under Nixon dorsness at ksgf dot com latest news update. I'm Mike Landis and the Ozarks first newsroom. So major news out of Jefferson City on Thursday, the Missouri Supreme Court unanimously blocked new congressional districts backed by President Donald Trump from being used during the New York Times. The court, which is made up of five Republicans and two Democrats also ordered a statewide vote on whether to uphold a reject the new map. The decision on Thursday marks a setback for Republicans in a national redistricting battle. Republicans were hoping Missouri's new congressional boundaries could help them win one additional seat and hold on to their slim house majority in the midterms. The ruling could still be appealed to the US Supreme Court. The court also deciding that amendment six will be appearing on the November ballot. If it's approved, it would make it hard for state lawmakers to overturn measures passed by voters at the polls. I'm Mike Landis, Ozarks first news Springfield. And the first alert forecast from Ozarks first meteorologist Tom Schmidt sponsored by JNS automotive a heated advisory remains an effect for the entire listening area until Sunday.

3:17Today we'll see sunny skies with a high near 98 heat index values as high as 104 tonight, mostly clear with a low around 74 for your Saturday sunny with a high near 98 heat index values as high as 105 and for Sunday sunny with a high near 99. Tom, I'm sorry, everyone. I had this funny thought. I'm not increasingly people in our society want to lay blame on people who aren't really necessarily responsible for certain things because they aren't going the way that they like it. People always want to blame someone. They want to hold someone accountable. I wonder if in this day and age given the pretty significant portion of the population that's very susceptible to that which hunt if you will. If you could legitimately start a movement to turn people against weather people because of the weather be like, either is protesting outside, you know, color 10 and you know, yelling and throwing things at the weather.

4:19Men or women as they come in or out because they keep giving us these really hot temperatures. It sounds funny, but I think you could convince people to do that. I think in reality that there is a way that you can convince anyone to pretty much do anything and agree depending on whether or not it was their hot button issue. Oh, sure. Yeah. And oftentimes you can make it that because I don't even listen. I don't even listen to local news anymore. I always kind of wait for either max velocity or Ryan Hall to come on YouTube. And I will listen to what it is that they tell me the forecast. They're more in depth. They're more to me. They. And maybe it's just because of me and my kind of low isn't of mine. No, they're not like max velocity isn't Florida. I don't know why and halls that both weather is that. Yeah, they're strictly weather. They're on YouTube. They are a lot more accurate in my opinion or they're a lot more. They explain the weather in a way that the common everyday man can explain it and they also explain why it is that it's 115 degrees outside and here's why instead of you tuning into a show and some guy in a pair of shorts goes it's going to be 112 degrees today. It's going to be hot.

5:39And part of that I do understand that it's a different audience. The their audience is one that really wants that information as opposed to TV where increasingly people short attention span and you got to just put it in these little digestible bites. You know, in order for them not to tune out, but I'm you know, do you follow Ted Keller? No, so he, of course, he was who he is. Yeah, he was a meteorologist with was he with color 10 was that who he was with, I think so. And then he was with us for a while. Because we did, would you rather Wednesdays with the killer. And you know, it's funny because he did the meteorology reports for all of our stations and he once told me he said when he's out in public. For all of the radio stuff he was doing that was the only thing he really got significant feedback on was the would you rather with Ted Keller, not the reports, but he does he does a degree of that. I think particularly when there's weather changes coming or he used to because I'm friends with him on Facebook. Now that being said, I he apparently also is a musician.

6:48And I think I knew that because the new scratch and co that so scratch and co is a restaurant, but I think they always they have a bar in the plaza tower there on sunshine and stone. All right. Oh, yeah, I drove past. Yeah, they asked the wife what scratch and co was. Yeah. And so on the upper level, there's an open bar area. I haven't been there yet. It looks really, really cool. He is going to be performing there tonight. I saw you had a posting about it. Singing and those he plays. Tickets. I don't know. I just picture him being a guy like Bill Clinton's brother. I see. Roger. Well, whichever one. Oh, it was Bill of the plate sacks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Why do you picture? Sure. I don't know. It's just something about a weatherman and playing saxophone. It just it seems like that's the way it should be. Yeah, let's see if it says. Although I could also picture him playing keyboard keyboard. Oh, yeah. So, yeah, he's out in John without the big glasses event by weather weather and the homosexuality without that part too.

7:58I don't know that for positive facts. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure. I think he's a very devoted husband. He's a really, really nice guy. But yeah, so he's going to be there starting at seven o'clock today. They're live at Scratch and Coast. I'm so worried about if I see you flying the flag behind him. Well, I was doing what he's doing. What flag? What the hell? What? You know, that's what are you making these suggestions about poor Ted Keller for it? What did he do? Not that there's anything wrong with you brought it up. So I just I had to play all of them. I did not bring sexuality in this conversation. You did. I brought up that he might fix sacks. This has gotten way out of control. I've lost control of this. I was trying to get poor Ted Keller a little bit of a plug here. Now we're arguing over sexuality over the airwaves. Oh, man. Hey, save this so we can submit it to the Missouri Broadcasters Association nominations for.

8:58Go to traffic that way we can do these day. Good call traffic update. I'm as an anti communist mob attacked departing concert goers. That was back in 1949. Never heard of it. I know. In 1781 Los Angeles was founded by Spanish settlers under the leadership of governor Felipe Day Niev. In 1944 during war war two British troops liberated and torped Belgium. In 1957, Arkansas, governor, orville. That's the perfect name for something. Yeah, I felt so. And his last name is F bus FAU BUS order Arkansas National guardsmen to prevent nine black students from entering all white center high school in Little Rock. One of my heroes when I was growing up marks spits became the first to win seven medals at a single Olympic Games winning a seventh gold medal at the Munich Olympics in the 400 meter relay.

10:061972 the longest running game show in history. Do you know what that was? What year did it start? 1972 prices right. The prices right debuted on CBS. 1974. By the way, I just wanted to make sure that I was correct on this that governor that tried to stop the integration was a Democrat. Of course you are. I made an assumption based off the historical racism of the Democrat party, but I didn't want to go based off that until I looked it up. And yes, he was in line with his party. I think if you research the governors of Arkansas, I don't there's a long duration of it was nothing but Democrat Democrat. That's why Missouri for the longest time was controlled by Democrats and then people go, well, why are we kind of a perplish state? Well, for the longest time, they were Democrats and then they had to transfer to Republicans to get elected.

11:08We're trans party. I now call them trans conservatives and trans Republicans. Yeah, I think there's some arguments for that. In 1998, and I think this is a misleading today's date in history because they forgot one agency. And I'll tell you what it was. In 1998, Google was found it by Stanford University PhD students, Sergey Brenn and Larry Page. They forgot to mention the CIA. Okay. Because there was a lot of governmental money and governmental resources involved in that in 2016, elevating the saints of the gutters to one of the Catholic churches highest honors. So Francis canonized Mother Teresa, praising her radical dedication to societies outcast and her courage and shaming world leaders for the crimes of poverty they themselves created. And in 2018, the Senate Judiciary Committee began confirmation hearings for future Supreme Court, just just Brett Kavanaugh on a day that saw rancorous exchanges between Democrats and Republicans.

12:21And that is today's date in history. All right, that was good. Now let me read a section of the state constitution. To you. This is Article 3 section 49 and this goes right along with what's happening today in the state. Well, actually yesterday in the state when the justices opined in the manner that they opined in. This is section 49 of Article 3. It actually comes from Article 4 section 57 of the 1875 Constitution. So they brought it forward. The people notice it says the people reserve power to propose and enact or reject laws and amendments to the Constitution by the initiative independent of the General Assembly and also reserve power to approve or reject by referendum any act, any act of the General Assembly except as here in after provided.

13:29And then you got section 50 goes to us about the signatures required. Section 51 discusses the appropriations by initiatives. And then section 52 a is referendum section 52 is veto power 53 is the basis of computation for this signature is required. So when the Supreme or when the justices brought forth their opinion just today. I saw a host of individuals who were screaming bloody murder that the justices dare opine in a way that they were going to be in the state. So it's a whole pine in a manner that it specifically says within the confines of the Constitution that the people reserve the power to enact just like an article one. I think it's section one that discusses that all power is derived from the people. So create the essence that the people control government why is it when the justices determine that the people control government. It's the people who are in the government that get all upset about it.

14:40Remember we were for you. Yeah, we do. That's the way that it always is. I mean you're almost always have. Yeah, yeah, them. It's correct. When ever it's on your side. In saying that however, I am adamantly opposed to amendment six. That thing is a freaking nightmare train wreck of a piece of an amendment that hopefully will fail. But basically within the confines of amendment six, they're trying to make the case that if the people pass and a law that the legislative authority cannot override that kind of like the one where they're discussing the where the pay. The pay was to increase on the minimum wage and then also the sick leave and then the legislative branch went in and changed the sick leave portion. They want to make it so that if if the people pass that then it's the people that have to defeat that.

15:46Well, when it comes to my rights as a business owner, don't tell me that you can use the ballot box to supersede my rights as a business owner. If I don't want to contractually obligate myself or my employees don't want to contract contractually obligate themselves to sick leave. That's our business. It is no business of the people of the state of Missouri that they can force me to make the good. I mean, I'm not a business that survives off of government contracts. I have no government contracts. I don't even bid government work. So don't give me this crap that your right supersede mine and you can force me to do this. Well, you go back because I don't know the answer to this. The weather constitutionally when you have these legislative districts drawn up, the argument being made, hey, which is what spring court said that people have the right to just say, no, we don't like that or whatever.

16:52Well, you reread that because there's one word in the part that you read regarding what it is that people are allowed to weigh in on. The people reserve power to propose and enact or reject laws and amendments to the constitution by the initiative independent of the general assembly and also reserve power to approve or reject by referendum. So I'm not going to give you any of the general assembly except as here in after provided because in Article 3 section 1, it specifically says that the all legislative authority is vested in the general assembly. So I'm going to give you a section where I get my belief that in reality any county, unless they're a charter county or a charter city, they don't have legislative authority because the people have vested it in the general assembly.

17:56Now, granted, we elect county commissioners and we elect city councilman, but we didn't give them legislative authority. We gave that to the general assembly for them to pass laws. The reason that because I'm trying to figure out, I don't know the detailed legal presentation that is being argued and that apparently the attorney general, Catherine, Hanover is going to argue that the constitution does not allow for the people to, you know, vote regarding the drawing of the districts, right. The word act there, I find it. So to me, you've got two potential meanings and this may be easily answered. This is just when I first heard, I think, oh, act is an action, right. Like anything that they do. And okay, the state legislature drew up. So that was an action they took. So the constitution allows for the people to vote regarding that. So I wonder if their argument is no, it doesn't mean act is an action, but act is in, you know, the such and such act, the, you know, what I mean, like certain laws are referred to as an act you've got treaties, you have acts, you have legislative efforts.

19:06And if they're saying no, that act isn't action, but is a, that specific reference to passing some form of an act and drawing up districts isn't a law, it isn't an act. It is the drawing up of legislative districts. I don't know, I don't know the answer to that. In order to redraw legislative district or congressional districts, the legislative assembly had to create the manner in which it is that led to so it's an act. Well, but so if that is the verbiage, then I could see the argument that the people have a right to vote and undo the way that it's set up. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the results of the way it's set up. If that makes sense. I don't know, this is all fresh to me, this is all me, you know, trying to figure this, I will say this, I don't think that it is beneficial regardless of what is constitutionally allowed for it to work this way.

20:12I don't, because you can end up having no finality almost ever. And I think that the system should be remedied if it does allow for this to make it more finite in which, you know, it is the legislative and then there is no way in and by referendum petition. That's what my gut tells me right now. See what ends up happening is it is, it is a constitutional mandate that the general assembly create congressional districts. However, if they should create a congressional district that they agree to that based on my reading of what I just read that the people do not agree with the people then can go and say, well, no, we don't like the way those districts are drawn. We want them redrawn at no point in time do the people ever get to redraw those districts that's always up to the general assembly. I don't think this would be an issue if it wasn't for the half decade redistricting that they did if they would have came forth with the seven to one map when parsing was still governor and brought it forth.

21:26I don't think there would that be that much because I think a lot of this has to do with because Trump asked for them to do it. They did a mid decade redraw which kind of wasn't even in the cards until Trump said, hey, I want this read on you. And then that kind of ticked a lot of people off you should have just allowed it to go the decade continue to keep the super majorities by actually doing things that are conservative. And then in the next redraw redraw the districts in the manner that you want because in reality we have set a president not only the state of Missouri but every state that if you're in area that's predominantly Hispanic or predominantly black or never predominantly white. Because we've been predominantly white forever in a day. But if you're predominantly black we will try to figure out a way to gerrymand or that district to make it so that you Mr. Blackman or you Mr. Mexican guy or woman or whatever.

22:30We want to make it so that your elected representative is of the same nationality that you are. So where are we going to end this or are we going to end this to the point where the congressional district in Minnesota where they have a predominantly Somali population where they get a Somali congressional district. There was that Supreme Court decision regarding Louisiana that I think answered that because there was a district drawn up specifically for what they called the minority majority rule. And it was that Louisiana case that the blue spring course and now you can't do that you cannot draw up. But that was what they stated they were doing. They're like, oh no, we need this minority to be a majority in the district and the court said, no, you can't do that. Now of course, perhaps part of the problem in that scenario was that they stated that's what they were doing. You could certainly still do it. But claim that's not what you were doing.

23:30Well, see what I find dangerous and disingenuous and this is not directed at you. It's directed at everyone who talks about these topics is that people who do not go and read the opinions. Now, granted, I will, I will flat out tell you I have not read the answer. I have not read the opinions of the court yet. It was just last night. But when you start, I think there's an inference, efforts, whatever that word is inference, that when the journalism mainstream media get ahold of this, they want to tell you what it is that not only the justice is said, but also their thought process in it. When in reality, you start going down, you start reading the opinion, you go, wait a minute, that's not what they said at all. It's what you've implied. They said, but it's clear that by the opinion and how it's written, they're thinking this way, but you now have a whole bunch of people who, so when you bring that up, the opinion says this, not this ago. Well, that's your opinion. No, it's actually in the opinion.

24:34Yeah, it's not my opinion of the opinion. It's the opinion. It's a ruling. No, it's an opinion. It's so in very beginnings. I will also say here that we're running late, but your point regarding the redrawing mid 10 year mid census, which hasn't been done in the past. I think it has, but not in Missouri. Not in Missouri. Right. Yeah. I do think that there's a fair argument to be made that while the courts have ruled, there's nothing that says that the courts have been done. No, the courts have been done. Oppined. I'm going to get you changed that way. They'll find that there wasn't anything that prevented that. I think that there's a legitimate argument to be made that perhaps there should be something that says it has to be done within a year of the census, or within this window of time, and it can only be done once every 10 years. I don't think that's necessarily a bad idea. I think when the, oh, that's right. We're late. Yeah, let's go ahead and do this later. We'll probably just merge into traffic here if we can.

25:42All right. So for Tom arts as we continue the Friday road show live from scramblers. I'm Nick. A heated advisory remains in effect for the entire listening area until Sunday. Today we'll see sunny skies with a high near 98 heat index values as high as 104 tonight, mostly clear with the low around 74 for your Saturday sunny with a high near 98 heat index values as high as 105 and for Sunday sunny with a high near 99. What up Tom arts? You know, just discussing what we were discussing before the break. If, if the people, how do I word this? If the people want to make changes to the constitution and the people want to make changes to legislative acts that have been put forth by the general assembly. I think in all sincerity, a, the people need to be better and more informed about what rights are, which is quite lacking in society or even slightly informed. The, uh, the general assembly needs to understand what laws are for as in there has to actually be a criminal element in order for a law to come into existence.

27:01Matter of fact, I think it was criminal that these governmental agencies have these ALPR readers up on all the red light areas to track your license plate from here to there to here to there to here to there to there to here to there to there. But yet when that element is brought forth, you never hear anyone who's elected gone. Yeah, we're kind of infringing upon your rights. Yeah, there's some, but not most. And, and then you've got like the, I was listening to an interview. These are flocks. You're talking flock, right? Well, ALPR's because there's more than just flock got automatic license plate readers. Okay. There's like three or four different companies. And I find it quite odd that all these CEOs of these companies are trying to proclaim how well, they're a, they're a businessman. They're an entrepreneur. They're a this. They're a that. And I'm thinking, no, you're not. You have a government contract. If it wasn't for the government, these things wouldn't exist.

28:03Because nobody in their right mind, except for maybe lows, is going to put up an automatic license plate reader at the end of their parking lots to track people going in and out of their parking lots like lows. By the way, as you can tell, I no longer go to lows. I've seen, yeah, they have. And I'm sure I don't even know what they're for unless maybe they're trying to proclaim that it's so that is somebody steals something that. But then then why did you get rid of all the people up front? Well, I also wonder in a situation like that if it wasn't something requested by government. That could be two. And here's why I wonder, I don't know whether or not it's a coincidence that because it's. I don't. Okay. The lows. There's been a lot of chatter about this online. It is the lows on the north side. Correct. Both of us at both of them. Yes. Well, both of them potentially. So my friends. So my first thought was that is a lows on an on the ramps. Yeah, but it's right there in the interstate. And a lot of times. Those are meeting places for legal activities because they're right off interstates. And so I thought, well, maybe there's a lot of illegal activity that happens like meeting place illegal activity that happens in that parking lot that are involving people that don't even go into the store because I noticed people like, why are they facing out?

29:28They're facing the store. And so that's what got me think, well, maybe maybe highway, you know, Modat or the highway patrol. I guess it would be highway patrol. You know, said, hey, do you want, when you put these up, you know, we've got a human trafficking element or a drug trade trafficking element. They're using your parking lot in order for these exchanges. And we really need to be able to capture. Now I have no idea. I'm just, you know, I just try to think of all the different angles and reasons why some of these things may may be there. You know, there are a few of the arguments that I really reject. And listen, I'm against them. I believe that some people who are for them, they do give articulated arguments as to reasons that they think they're okay. I just disagree with with them on that. And one of the arguments I hear is, well, you know, yeah, people are complaining about being tracked. But then they're on their phones and they're being tracked. And I'm thinking, yes, but that's not what I'm saying. Yes, but that's voluntary. Correct. And just because I use my phone voluntarily knowing full well, because I could have a flip phone if I wanted that I'm being tracked. That doesn't mean I surrender all of my rights to government to track me. That's not how that works. So I completely reject that argument. And anyway, that's a big one I wanted to mention.

30:51I don't know about this before, but I increasingly hear that will you be in track anyway, but that doesn't mean I have to surrender all my and be like, okay, what government has the right to track me to. Yeah, because I think there's a huge difference. I mean, in reality, Apple or whoever it is that you have as a cell phone provider or Verizon or AT&T or T-Mobile, they could actually make it so that they don't track you as well. It's, they could probably flip a switch and not do that anyhow. But they have chosen to make it so that you are, you're now the commodity. We're going to sell Nick because we know that Nick goes into all these different hardware stores. So we're going to start popping ads up into his phone that are nothing but hardware stores or it took me a while when I first got this Apple to figure out why it is while I was driving down the road. But ads would pop up on my phone from hardware stores and I have just passed. I went, what do they know? And here's a perspective on it that I think a lot of people don't think about is because I always see it from almost this predatory perspective.

31:56But in reality, there's an argument that there is a benefit for the user because if I'm interested in hardware things, it's catering to what my interest worked. And so part of the reason they do it is because they benefit because it is an interest. I mean, it is a benefit. So there is a mutual benefit there. Again, people can argue over the way it's done, it shouldn't be done that way. But it's so often just viewed as completely one-sided in predatory when it isn't necessarily that way. And in reality, you and I have obligated ourselves to that because of that. I did not give the government permission to obligate me. And Mike, I sue that. Simply because I choose, and you can let's hit the critical I disagree, simply because I choose to, I have an industry allow a degree of tracking. It doesn't mean I surrender all of my rights to be tracked by government in some sort of surveillance state. The other, there's another big argument that I really reject. And I hear this from some conservatives. In fact, they were talking about this on the five the other day, which interestingly enough, Harold Ford Jr. was the almost the lone voice against flocks as the Democrats, while the Republicans were all for it.

33:13And it was, well, yes, this is technology getting ahead of the law, which does happen. And so there, there just need to be safeguards putting in place. They're safeguards put in place of the Patriot Act. Like, they're, they're already some safeguards in place. Like, for example, you can't use it to track your ex-girlfriend. They do that. So this idea that the people that we recognize, we can't trust. Well, we just need to put some safeguards in place to protect us from, from them when they're the, like, what makes you think that's going to work? Are you kidding me? We literally have a law in the state of Missouri that says that you can't have 19 different topics in a single sub-tank bill. And yet it to protect us. Yeah, to protect us. It's ignored. It's violated. And I hear people going, now, hey, that's what we need in Congress. We need a single subject bill. And I'm thinking, if you're from Missouri, and you're trying to make the case, that's what we need in Washington, DC. It's obviously you're not paying attention in Missouri.

34:13Yeah, check out how that works here. We'll show you. We got Tom Arts here with us. We continue the Friday road show from scramble. Apparently there are three at lows as well. And now I do believe I remember seeing people in Republic chiming in about the fact that lows has them there as well. See in the day in the danger. And it's not directed at you. The danger of saying flock cameras is because there are other APL. It's like when you Google something. Okay, that's a search engine. Yeah, clean X is an actual brand as a but there are tons of other tissues out there. I always do you ever see the movie or it was based off of a dystopian cartoon on I want to say MTV called Ian flux. And then there was a movie made. Sherees they were on they were on played he on flux, but it was in a dystopian future. That was a surveillance state where and if I recall correctly a lot of the surveilling was done from these blimps or these orbs that flew over and constantly were surveying everything.

35:19And it was it was just this surveillance state in which you know as long as you're not doing anything you don't have to a thing to worry about and the argument was hey you know well it catches the bad guys and yet that storyline was something I want to say it was late 80s early 90s that the anime version was being broadcast and then it was well after that the live action version came out. But it was just sort of universally accepted that man that would be horrible that would be an awful dystopian future and it just and that particularly in this country that has always prided itself on being separate and we don't have stossy we don't have this constant surveillance of us as citizens that so many people are like well but it catches the bad guys I'm like well. Yeah, sometimes but still you know putting cameras in everyone homes will stop child abuse or at least catch child abusers are we going to do that if that's your argument if that means that that makes it okay then there is no limit you can't say as a justification for it stops bad things from happening that means it's okay but then argue against putting them in your homes.

36:38You can't say well but no no because you have said your argument is it stops bad things from happening that means we should do it. You know there's a country over in Asia called North Korea that loves that mindset go there and live if you believe that we should be under surveillance twenty fires a day seven days a week by the government I'm not talking the voluntary surveillance that we've done to ourselves. Then North Korea would love you go there but I'm getting sick and tired of people go all but it catches the bad guys well the crime has already been committed kind of like when people say well we policing we have to have policing because it prevents crime no it doesn't the crime has been committed predominantly police are there to do the paperwork after the crime has been committed because if if crimes were prevented then we wouldn't need laws against killing people.

37:39To that point as we head into traffic the broader picture when you pull back and like what is the ultimate purpose we're told it is for public safety catching criminals or the inability to catch criminals is not why we have a crime problem in this country in areas that we do. It is the knowledge amongst the criminals that getting caught is largely irrelevant because that's how you end up with these stories of somebody being shoved in front of a subway or stabbed on public transit and inevitably the criminal has been arrested and released out of prison eighty seven different times. So cap if if there was evidence that the problem we had the reason that we have the crime problems that we do was because of nothing other than or primarily the inability to catch these criminals then we could talk about that you know okay we at least know that it works but that's clearly not the issue.

38:43In fact some could argue we have an abundance of capturing these people that's why these individuals oftentimes have our app sheets with eighty seven different arrests on them so that argument that this somehow is going to address or diminish the crime problem we have in this country it that is non applicable. Hey but we did get rid of that criminal Milo Unopolis. Yeah I know. You know he was a we had him on the show once he was our author of the week once I do remember that yeah yeah he was quite enjoyable for people that don't know the references making Milo was he used to be a left winger is a very very flamboyant social media guy he ended up becoming conservative yeah. And I said we had a money add some book well he apparently at overstate of these are something he's from Europe and so he was deported what I thought was weird was Laura Lumer she took credit for getting them deported did you see that Lord a Lumer taste credit for all kind of she I know she is I don't follow her she's a basket but what she she said that now she is I have like I said don't know I just saw a brief article on it she is telling the Justice Department to look at

39:56Marjorie Taylor green claiming that Marjorie Taylor green had has employed him for like five years knowing that he was in this country legally and so pointing the finger at her knowingly paying and hiring an illegal immigrant or somebody who's in the country illegally I it's all sort of background inside baseball stuff but I thought that that was an interesting component to it the one thing that is a potential take away is see it's not just brown people here is a conservative white guy that the administration is also deporting Tom arts with us here is we continue the Friday road show from scramble I'm curious on that whole issue however this is the reason I wanted the reasons why I have for decades said we need to eliminate the freaking primary off of the mallet now granite weather or not the the the committees would have chosen him or not don't know it's it's not my concern it's not an election it's a selection process for a political party and for those people who don't comprehend that political parties are private organizations what we're doing when we do the primary is is we're subsidizing the republican party the Democrat party rarely ever do you see a libertarian in a primary they choose their candidates within the realm of the party and that is the way it should be set up

41:23because this fact of the matter of subsidizing political party should just be as wrong as subsidizing corporations or by the way they are a corporation it's a well it's really no different than if you know the elks lodge right they have their annual board members or whatever they vote on having the government the taxpayers pay for that and setting up you know election districts for the not even a member of the elks but you get your say yeah as long as I go do you want an elks club or alliance club ballot today that that's how Missouri function ever people don't know his referencing it was yeah yesterday I think it came to light or I believe it was yesterday morning there's a primary the job an area state rep race and the guy who won by just a couple dozen votes or so 37 he was indicted and let he's alleged to have and the indictment says they have audio recordings and everything a text messages backing this up his getting his campaign manager to plant cocaine and had a role I don't it's not funny but I don't know what in his opponents purse and uh oh is that what the charges are yeah

42:37because the last thing I read there was they had no clue yeah yeah yeah so the the it was cocaine and like adder all pills or something that they were going to plant in her purse while he was away and so but apparently what the indictment says is his campaign manager went joplin PD joplin PD contact to the FBI the FBI put a wire on him in which there's communication about this and text messages back and forth and so that's where it stands now I think it'll be interesting if he's says because Peter Kendr head of the Missouri Republican Party and the Jess County Republican Party they've all said you need to drop out it'll be interesting to see if he does maybe he'll say no I'm not going to oh from him I wouldn't yeah I mean you took my you took my money therefore you allowed me to run as a Republican and now they could argue we didn't know you were going to do this doesn't make a difference as soon as you take their money you have obligated yourself to have me have one to ballot under your political party it's gonna be interesting to see because I've kept wondering well what happens if he does and but not well what if maybe he does stay on time

43:43arts thanks sir for the side we got this weird precedent that's considered innocent until proven guilty news in 60 seconds is weird
