00:00 I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 00:23 O B 00:27 For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties, 00:59 share his grace on thee. 01:13 America is back. we are certainly trying, sir. Let's go to the WRD talk line. We'll talk to Ken and Nebo. Ken, how you doing? I'm doing fine today. Hope you are. Yes, sir. Taking a call. Yeah. Really quick. Is an unaffiliated voter? There's no there's no other radio stations to call. There's not a Democratic. 01:42 call in show, of course, for obvious reasons. And, uh, you know, I don't never call in to uh aim or arm or disarm or anything. It's so cool to call in with my independent opinion.

Who the airlines or the airports supply their own security. And I think they, the airlines. 02:10 are big enough to support that kind of change. And while it has been a topic of discussion through the years on whether we fund anything. And I know after 9-11 is when the TSA started. That's when they became federalized. Okay. But now we don't have it on the rail system where the Ukrainian woman got stabbed by a monster that got on the train down there. don't have it on, we don't have a federal agent at bus stations. 02:38 for a possible terrorist activity. And we don't have it on cruise ships. imagine cruise ships and other, like does the rail system, the, starts with the A, it's national. Do they have Amtrak? Yes. I don't know. That's a good question. That's good question. don't know. In the future, that would be something that would really make my day is to see me not paying for... 03:08 I never fly and I probably never will. It's just one of those kind of questions that all different lines and points of view try to make it to the middle to where their ideas and thoughts can be considered that I don't want to be paying for other people's security when you and Mike Gallagher and Joey Hudson fly and don't take that personal.
