  Speaker 1: Brian Ibold from the Help Squad on the program last week.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I had him on quite a few times over the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: years and he's been really just trying to fulfill his
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Christian mission by helping people who really need help. So
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: they're having a fundraiser and it just reminded me I

  Speaker 1: have always wanted to go there, so that's what we did.

  Speaker 1: My wife and I went to the American Sign Museum
• 1:13

• 1:22
  Speaker 1: historic and fun places to go that I haven't been.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: That place has been around for a long time. My
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: mom reminded me my dad did a PM magazine back
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: when he was on television. We're going back a long
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: time from the Sign Museum, so that's how long it's
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: been around. Anyway, thank you to those folks for putting
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a smile on my face on a Saturday, and a
• 1:38

• 1:43
  Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three talk
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: or pound five fifty on AT and T phones. What

  Speaker 1: do we got coming up? Of course, it's Monday. Christopher
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Smitheman at seven twenty with a Smith event. Don't know

• 1:56
  Speaker 1: much as I do. Plus Money Monday, It's Monday. It's
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: money Day, of course, Money Money with Brian James every
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Monday at eight oh five and Gasoline. Yeah, I just
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: checked looking at four eighty roughly as the regular gallon
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: of gasoline price in the just generally speaking, you'll find
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: a little bit lower, and of course you can find
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: it more depending on where you're buying your gasoline. Just
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: stay stay away from the marathon on Camargo. Sorry to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: those folks, you would have had extra buck. I've just
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: guessed that it's probably seven dollars a gallon of that place. Anyway,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it's expensive, of course, we're all struggling with that. Got
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: a story on that here in Ohio. D Wine not
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: interested in rolling back the UHM gasoline tax to provide
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: us some temporary relief anyway, How gas prices the biggest
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: douche of the universe, in all the galaxies, there's no
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: bigger douche than you. I hope you can appreciate how
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: much off guard that struck me. Ju Just Tracker, thank
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: you for the comedy this morning. Wow. Okay, while I
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: try to recover money money with Brian Jayson. How gas
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: prices affect inflation. Gas prices go up, transportation costs increase.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: That increase has passed along to you, the consumer, in
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the form of increased prices. Well, I guess we'd handled
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: that topic. The fifty million dollars social Security screw up
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: topic number two with Brian James. Apparently it costs widows
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and widowers over fifty million dollars. And finally Trump's new
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: retirement plan order order. So we'll deal with that, Brian James.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I at he at eight to five, and it is tomorrow.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I can tell by my rundown. Thank you, Joe's director
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to remind people vote or die. Remember that campaign that
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: was back when Obama was running for president, wasn't it.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow is primary day and Wednesday is listener lunch day.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: One more item of housekeeping. Next Monday and Tuesday, I
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: will not be here. I'm getting my cancer treatments this
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday, which means I'm going to be a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: total train wreck come Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. So who's covering
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: for me? Said Dan Carroll? Joe Dan Carroll, thank you Dan,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: if you're out there in a wake, I appreciate you
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: covering for me, all right, since he's the award winner.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: And it really didn't wasn't really quite sure where I
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: wanted to start this morning, but several stories seem to align.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: What do you think at least one House representative here
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: in the state of Ohio is interested in rolling back
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the gas tax provide us a break because the price
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of gasoline has gone through the roof temporary, though it
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: may be. Our gas tax in the state of Ohio
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: thirty eight point five cents per gallon forty cents per
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: gallon of diesel. So apparently House Representative Toy Matthews has
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: talked to Governor de Wine about rolling back the gas
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: tax for a temporary relief. Temporary relief which means, I
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: suppose at four eighty we would be paying four forty.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: He expressed hope that the crisis in iron will end quickly,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: hopefully soon. He said, this temporary band aid for a
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: little relief for you and I for the time being.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Dwine in opposition to the plan, netting him the biggest
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: duche of the universe ward as determined by the sole judge.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Joe Strecker, executiroducer of the fifty five KRSE Morning Show.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Why because the tax money is essential to maintain and
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: construct roads, Dwine said, quote, we like to have good roads,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and we like to be able to drive. We also
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: know that when we have huge holes in our roads,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: we can have a real impact. That can have a
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: real impact rather on your car. Hey, Joe, did this
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: memo reach the City of Cincinnati limits? I know the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: city is within the state of Ohio right now. Governor
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Dewain's expressed some major concern over the roads, and clearly
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: state funding of roads is generated from the gasoline tax.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Does that gasoling time not make it into the city's
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: coffers in any way, shape or form. Is the City
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati alone in the wilderness when it comes to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: repairing roads?
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Hmmm?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Speaking of the sign museum, we're driving over Norwood Lateral.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: You know, this is stretch of Norwood looks And my
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: wife even noticed that. She goes, it's very look at
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: all that there's no garbage here until you got to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: it one point in time where there's all kinds of
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: garbage all over the place. And she said, oh, I
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: guess we entered the City of Cincinnati limits here. I
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: don't know. She was speculating that maybe the city was
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: responsible for only a portion of the Norwood Lateral. I
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: don't know. I just know that the roads themselves a
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: lot of places in the city here, check me if
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Are in terrible shape. That's a city issue.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's city government that's the problem on that one. Obviously,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: it's not a question of generating the tax revenue, because
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you and I are both paying the roughly forty cents
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: a gallon in taxes. Anyway, Representative mass you said it. Obviously,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the governor said no, or isn't interested in doing this,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: suggesting even if they passed this, he'd probably veto the rollback. Well,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: this at least, Matthew said, we'll show the people of
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Ohio that we are trying to do something for them.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Pivoting over, how do you feel about this? Amid the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: inflation reality we're dealing with the costs of gasoline through
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the roof. I understand you can blame Trump if you want.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: That's entirely you. It will be temporary. At some point,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the conflict with Iran Iranians will be over straight afoord
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: moves will open, and only those cities and states that
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: have adopted these radical left wing agenda green New Deal
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: types proposals will deal with really expensive energy. Beyond that,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: It's okay, you and I here in Hamilton County anyway
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: are paying for the demolition of the pay Course Stadium. Scoreboard.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Hamilton County Commissioners approved it five point seven million dollars
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: last Thursdays when we got the green light on this,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the demolition of the scoreboard. It's a stadium, folks. Anybody
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: check the financial situation of the Brown family are they doing? Okay?
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I know the the Bengals family, that is the Brown family.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: You can go up to Cleveland where the Browns are
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: getting six hundred million dollars of the state taxpayers, You're
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: not going to get any relief in terms of the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: gas tax. Not that I'm necessarily advocating for it. I'm
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: just showing you questions of priority Cleveland. Brown's family multi billionaires.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: They are going to get six hundred million dollars and locally,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the Brown family is going to get a five point
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: seven million dollars pay for the destruction of the pay
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Corp Stadium scoreboard. Oh what's more, don't worry about it.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: We're getting a new one too, six point nine million
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: dollars for the new scoreboard. So they allocate a payment
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: to destroy the current one five point seven and we'll
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: soon be approving an additional multi million dollar payment for
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the building of the new scoreboard. Joe how many times
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: you've been to a Bengals game been a long time?
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Uh huh yeah, might cut into your budget a little
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: bit going to that game, wouldn't it.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Hm.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Now, I realize we have a contract, a relationship with
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the Browns and we have to do this. But these
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: are decisions made by government. So go to work, pay
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: for the Browns six hundred million dollars. Go to work,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Pay for the destruction of the paid court stadium sign.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Go to work, pay for the building of a new sign.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Why so really wealthy families can have their teams perform
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: a sporting event and make even more money pivoting over
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: one more. We go to New York City, Zorhan Mamdami
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the all this guy's backcrap and saying, I'm sorry. This
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: is a reflection of the deterioration of the American society.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I just and it's the best illustration or example of it.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Where are they with their massive deficit budget five point
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: four billion dollars? New York City is and that's their deficit.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: What's important for Zorhan Mundami same thing it's important to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: so many left wing administrations, maybe even some conservative right
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: wing administrations, call them red Republicans whatever, paying outside entities
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: with taxpayer dollars to do virtually nothing and support them.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Mandami has allocated it's only five hundred thousand dollars, and
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I realize that's a drop in the bucket when you
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: got a five point four billion dollar deficit. What's he
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: paying for five hundred thousand dollars to fund community discussions?
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: The topic reparations, It could be any topic. If something
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: is important to you, do you need to be paid
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: to have a discussion? Apparently in New York City you do.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Described as an internal message dated earlier this year, detailed
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: how more than two dozen groups would be given tens
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars each to participate in quote conversations
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: to discuss the development of a reparation study. WHOA what? Yes?
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: You heard that? Correctly, pay outside entities to talk about
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the development of a reparation study. This isn't paying for
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a study. This is paying to have people discuss a
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: forthcoming or soon to be Actually, I suppose solidified study
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: to look at whether or not reparation is a good idea.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Also to gather input on the early development of the
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: citywide Truth Hearing and Reconciliation plan, don't ask me. It's
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: an initial cap I have no idea what that means.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: According to document the funding in the documents, very words,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: because it's a quote allows for each community member to
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: receive an incentive for their time and also covering the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: cost to provide the participants with refreshments. This is where
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: we have got. If something is so important that you
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: think there needs to be a discussion on it, If
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: something is so important like this outlandish reality that black
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: people are facing the history of slavery, that they have
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: not been able to overcome the challenges presented by the
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: evil that was slavery, that this country has not done
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: enough for black people to overcome that. Don't you think
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: that's a compelling thing that you might want to talk
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: about and not get paid to talk about it. Does
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the need for a cash infusion to engage in a
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: discussion perhaps suggest that maybe there aren't a whole lot
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: of people out there that even want to have a
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: discussion on it. I don't know. My perception of government
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: is it should be using your money or my money,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: our labor to pay people to sit around and hrumph
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: over something. Wow. Oh, also to fund sports stadiums I've
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: reached my boiling point on that one. If you haven't
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: been able to get that feeling this morning, five eighteen,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: feel free to chime in. I'm sorry a little beside myself.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Don't go away, be right back after these brief words.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: This was your weekend.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: R J Security Checkpoint Fraudry's in Miniat five twenty two.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: On a Monday. Thank you, Mike. I'm gonna get to
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the phones here, got tow Hampshire Garrey on the line.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: You can feel free to call to and love to
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: hear from you. Thank you, Mike. Though I was talking
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: about the Sign Museum, a wonderful weekend, he said, instead
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: of demo demolishing the Bengels scoreboard, donated to the American
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Sign Museum.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I think they may have a difficult time squeezing it
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: in there. Although you know the Frish's Mainliner sign is there.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: It is currently being rehabilitated. It's kind of really in
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: a state of disarray. But if you miss the Mainliner sign,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to see it. It's all glory
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: after it's been rehabilitated. At the since a sign are
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the American signed New Hampshire, Gary, Thank you, for calling
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: this morning, and happy Monday to you.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Next time I make it to Cincinnati, I'm gonna have
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: to make a point because I know they got a
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: holiday inside. Yes, and that's a child I used to
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: stay at places like that, very nostalgic.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, I had a sense of nostalgia
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: for some of those signs. I remember seeing them. There's
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: a Howard Johnson sign there. It's full neon from the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: like mid nineteen sixties, and I remember driving past signs
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: like that, and a lot of them precede me. There's
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of you know, nineteen early nineteen hundred
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: signs of hand painted kind of signs. It's literally signs
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: all of all types, so not just neon, although the
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: neon ones are most impressive. But yeah, you should stop then.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm giving them a big shout out this morning.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I had always wanted to go and it was it
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: was just really cool, nice thing to do. Go ahead,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: New Hampshire, Gary.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Okay. I think one of the things that I'm going
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: to read this just for batim, but I think one
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: of the things that you're really targeted on. And I
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: heard a speech by Michael Walsh for the Daily Wire,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: and he was calling this there is a it's a
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: political system. It's called the Curly effect, and it's named
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: after James Curley, who was the mayor of Boston twice,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: a Senator for Massachusetts, and the governor of the state
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: in politic for almost fifty years, basically destroying the state
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: into a left leaning lack. And basically the mechanism is
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: usually the political incumbence policies that penalize the wealthy tax
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: specific regulations in their own favor, driving political opposition to
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: leave targeted redistribution of benefits to loyal, often poor constituents
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: who become dependent on the leaders biblical activity. It is
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: exactly what you're talking about. By the way, it was
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: the same policy used by Detroit mayor in the early seventies,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: all the way from seventies to ninety three. Who is
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Detroit mayor Coleman Young who said I will destroy Detroit
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: and rule over the Ashes, who, by the way, stayed
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: in power for almost twelve years. And I believe this
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: is almost verbatim, like your mayor and probably the mayor
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: of most major cities, that they're destroying their own their city.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: But yet they have all these NGOs. They have the
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: you know what was that that that lines that Mary
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: go around that big non expensive streetcar since you guys
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: got going on, you know, you know it just it's
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: an amusement ride basically that nobody rides and.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: They're making money off.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Fortunately, Gary, we have the freedom of travel in this
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: country and people are leaving that that's the beauty of it.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: And you know, more and more people leave because of course,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: after COVID, we all realize that many of us can
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: work from wherever we want, given we can no longer
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: need to commute to work. Cities across this land are
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: experiencing the realities of high taxation.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Is there something that I, as a corporation or individual
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: can do to flee this outrageous taxation where the money

  Speaker 1: of what we're dealing with here.

  Speaker 1: over the break there, Welcome back to the program. Good
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: to hear from you.
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: M Morning Bron sent you a link to an article.
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: A guy who lives about a mile from me recently
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: got arrested for not tapping into the new newly installed
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: city water line that they ran out into the country
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: to a little town.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: And it just struck me.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: Of all the things people get arrested for, I didn't
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: think that was a crime.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: No muck shot posted.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Wait a second, arrested for not taking advantage of the
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: water line?
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: Correct?
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: I live out in the country.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: He does, two? We have he wrong?
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: Well, we have our own sewer. I live where I
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: live because I don't want to pay right for the water.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: You know, I don't want to pay for the city
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: sewer right. And anyway, about two years ago they decided
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: to run this water line out and force everybody to
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: tap into it, and he refused to tap into it,
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: so they had him arrested.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Wow, I might my litigation brain's trying to struggle around
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: that one. Corey. I find that really hard to swallow.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: So I somewhere in there, there's got to be something missing.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I need to see an article or some breakdown of
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: how this guy can get arrested for not taking advantage
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: of perhaps something that a lot of people would love
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to have access to, which is public water. But if
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: you've got your own water supply, why would you bother
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: to do that? Pointing a doubling down on your port, Corey, Corey, man,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: forward me the info on that. We don't have to
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: go independently search on it. Jeez. That okay? Even if
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: that reminds me of is that Seinfeld episode where Kramer
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: refused the United States postal system he didn't want to
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: have mail delivered anymore. Postmaster General had to wood shed
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: him on that and frighten him into keeping mail service whatever.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: That's crazy, man. I wish I could digest that a
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: little bit better than I can on a Monday morning.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: But that's about all I can do is react and say,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I find that really really hard to believe, and we'll
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: suggest that he probably has a legal defense to that.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Appreciate a brother, Tom, Welcome to the show, and a
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: very happy Monday to you, sir.
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, good morning. Joe's just throwing awards out like
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: me this morning. You know, it's like he's like one
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: of the guys on the float on Foray, just throwing
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: beads out there. That's well, the wine deserves it.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: Why not.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: You?
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I'm so anytime you mentioned the wine, that song is
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: gonna play.
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna again.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: But if if the Wine was ever up for election again,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Joe would not vote for him. I'm just gonna. I'm
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: just gonna go out on a on a limb.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: And guess that just said he never voted for him anyway,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: you know what, I was hitting that button when you
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: mentioned DWI. It reminds me of a young Frankenstein. For
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: those can remember the movie from mel Brooks, every time
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: fraud Blucher's name was mentioned, the horse, the sound of
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the horse rearing and winnying in response and revulsion to
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: her name being mentioned. Yeah, the wine and new song
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: shows up. That's good.
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: And it's like every time that in The Big Lebowski,
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: at anytime that Dodd went over to his mouth, that
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: John Goodman character was, yeah, I'm going to have my
• 22:09
  Speaker 8: yearly complaint about these foreigners that have invaded our country
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: and taken over the streets and in the parking lots.
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: And and whatever, and and the whole family of them
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: crossed went like diagonally across Cole Raine Avenue in a
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: major intercession over in our part of town. Joe knows
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: that Cole Raid in Springdale, major intersection. And they just
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: there was a mom and a dad and six or
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: seven of them just just nonchalantly walking across this intercession.
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: All traffic had to stop. And uh, it's it's it's outrageous.
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: We we got to do something about it to get
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: these Canadian geese out of our out of our country.
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: Nothing but there's nothing but a menace. And and maybe yeah,
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: they look cute and they just they have babies here,
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: so they got like their anchor babies so they can stay.
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: But it's it's it's ridiculous. The whole is the whole,
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: the whole racism and and uh, switching over to the
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: topic you brought up about about Dobby. The Democrats have
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: to keep racism and reparations in the news in front
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: of everybody's mind at all times because they don't really
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: have much else. Really that really isn't anything really to
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: run on. If people understand that it's it's a farce.
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: But they that's that's there, Like golden ticket. They think
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: to keep people voting for them. If we let people
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: think that we really care about them, we want them
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: to get reparations for all the evil that was done
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: to their ancestors, then you know they'll.
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: Keep voting for us.
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: That's all this is about. Just keep keep voting for us.
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: We're going to throw out crap out there and we're
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: going to make you believe that we care about you
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: and all that. It's garbage, it's absolute garbage, and anybody,
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: it doesn't matter what race you are. Right now, if
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: you really feel that that that black people, as you mentioned,
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: have not had a lot done for them to help
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: make up for that and give them the opportunity to
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: achieve what everybody else has, then you're you're you got
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: your head stuck in the same you're not paying attention,
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: So please start paying attention to what's going on. Oh
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: and yeah, tomorrow, tomorrow's voting day. Make sure you vote
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: and don't vote Democrats. Have a great, great break.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Thanks Tom. Appreciate the calls always five three seven fifty
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: two to three pound five fifty on AT and T phone,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: and thank you Corey for sending me the link. Actually
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I did run across that, and that link, although it
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: does describe the guy that got arrested for not hooking
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: up to the water line, doesn't provide any support or
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: extra detail on the offense itself. It is a minimalist link,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: and I understand that's all you got, but that leaves
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: us all completely in a swirling mystery as to how
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: someone could get cited for not hooking up to the
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: public water line five thirty seven. Right now, if you
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: FI have KCD talk station, this is no more meaningful
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: than you can do for yourself and your family and
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: your friends and to get rid of your own pain.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Five forty two. If I do you have kc DE
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: talk station every Monday to you, if I went three
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: seven y two three talk found five fifty on AT
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: and T phones, I'll get you to the stack as
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: stupid right there on top. It's not the Canada geese,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: apparently it's Bigfoot. Yes, that's in the stack of stupid. Carl,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the program, Thanks for calling this morning.
• 25:17
  Speaker 9: Good morning, Brian say, as we have been discussing tomorrow's
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: primary day and a very few group, a very few
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: group of people are going to be making some important
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: decisions here in the ninth district.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: UH.
• 25:33
  Speaker 9: The Republicans didn't have anybody on the ballot to run
• 25:37
  Speaker 9: for the Senate seat here in Ohio, but they have
• 25:40
  Speaker 9: found a write in candidate. The other thing, UH, that
• 25:44
  Speaker 9: we're going to be voting on that is the Republicans
• 25:47
  Speaker 9: is a Supreme Court justice. There are four people running
• 25:51
  Speaker 9: for uh, the Supreme Court here in Ohio, and about
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: several weeks ago, I called your radio show not knowing
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: where to find information about these candidates. And after going
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: on the internet, I found that some of the smaller
• 26:08
  Speaker 9: newspapers in Ohio had written articles about these candidates. And
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: also my precinct executive, who happened to be pretty good,
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: sent me a letter and notified me about the websites
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: that these candidates had put out there. They are all
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: experienced candidates, so there was nothing really to give me
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: an edge. I finally, after a lot of research, was
• 26:34
  Speaker 9: able to pick a candidate. But here in Ohio, you know,
• 26:37
  Speaker 9: the Supreme Court is very important. These candidates are looking
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: at ousting Supreme Court Justice Jennifer Berner, and that would
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: mean that the Republicans control the Supreme Court here in Ohio,
• 26:54
  Speaker 9: and as you know, the big issue with Supreme Court
• 26:58
  Speaker 9: cases around the country is redistricting jerry mandering. We saw
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: that in New Jersey and some of the other states.
• 27:09
  Speaker 9: I would like to commend you and Joe for running
• 27:11
  Speaker 9: such a great radio show, because, like I said, after
• 27:14
  Speaker 9: listening to your radio show for the past couple of
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: weeks and your guests and your callers, I was able
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: to fill out my absentee ballot and Cuningham had some
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: good guests on also.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I appreciate the kind words, Carl, and to
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: the extent I've helped anyone over the last several weeks
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: or even years, I'm honored to be in a position
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: to make some recommendations along those lines. And I appreciate you, Carl,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: going out into the world and doing some research on
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: your own. Judicial racis is some of the most difficult
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: races for people to vote in because you know, most
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: people aren't involved in the court system. People don't run
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: under under the party affiliation. They're not listed as R
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: or D on the ballot, and ultimately you have to
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: rely on here we go with some people out there
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: that get a little feathers a little rougher Central Committee,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: the endorsement of the Republican Party, so that judge shows
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: up on the pink slip. So, but I applaud your
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: efforts and looking and investigating. That's what more people need
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: to do. And if more people were like you, Carl,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I think this whole country would be in a much
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: better position, much better. Appreciate the call, my friend, and
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: thank you very much again for the kind words. Hank
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: is next, Hank, I'm out of time. It's five forty
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: five with you five care seat the talk station, five
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: fifty to fifty five KRCD talk station. I'm very happy
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Monday to you. Five one three, seven, four nine fifty
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: five hundred eight day two three talk. Good day for
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the call. It's got a lot of folks calling in
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: which I thoroughly enjoyed. We're going to start in the
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: order in which they receive, which means Hank is first.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Pall hold on your next, Hank, Welcome to the show Man.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Happy Monday.
• 28:43
  Speaker 10: Happy Monday to you too, Brian. So I told Joe
• 28:47
  Speaker 10: I was gonna call about supporting reparations, but it has
• 28:51
  Speaker 10: to be under the correct circumstances. First off, look, I'll
• 28:56
  Speaker 10: be labor a little history. I know your listeners don't
• 28:58
  Speaker 10: need it, but I'm going to do it quick, just
• 29:00
  Speaker 10: in case. So, the Democrat Party was the party of slavery.
• 29:04
  Speaker 10: The Democrat Party was the party of Jim Crow. The
• 29:07
  Speaker 10: Democrat Party was the party of the klu Klux Klan.
• 29:10
  Speaker 10: The Democrat Party was the party of Lyndon Johnson, who,
• 29:14
  Speaker 10: as you have probably heard, there's a story going around
• 29:18
  Speaker 10: that when he signed the Welfare Act he said, those
• 29:21
  Speaker 10: N words will be supporting us for the next two
• 29:23
  Speaker 10: hundred years.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's notorious for using the N word, Lennon Johnson was.
• 29:29
  Speaker 10: Yeah, well he was notorious for liking to sleep in
• 29:33
  Speaker 10: with them too, from what I heard too. But anyway,
• 29:37
  Speaker 10: off of that, so, it seems fair to me that
• 29:40
  Speaker 10: if we're going to have reparations, the Democrat Party should
• 29:43
  Speaker 10: be the ones that pay for them, because the Republicans
• 29:47
  Speaker 10: were the ones that actually lost a lot of lives
• 29:50
  Speaker 10: fighting to change that, which is something we'll.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Celebrate on June teenth, Yes, sir. But the other side.
• 29:57
  Speaker 10: Of the coin too, is that a lot of people
• 29:59
  Speaker 10: don't think about what are guys like Barack Obama. He
• 30:03
  Speaker 10: had a white mom and a black dad. Incidentally, the
• 30:06
  Speaker 10: black dad was from Africa, so he was never related
• 30:09
  Speaker 10: to any slaves in the US, so it seems fair
• 30:13
  Speaker 10: to me that he should have to pay himself.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Fair enough. The retort from those demanding reparations is, though,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: that's fine, they didn't have any ancestral history of the
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: United States and therefore did not himself or his family
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: lineage struggle with the issue of slavery. But the concept
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: of slavery is baked into the equation here in the
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: United States. Therefore, if you are a person of color,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: you are looked down upon. So the argument goes and
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: that there's this inherent bias against people of color in
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: this country and they have therefore been denied opportunities because
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: of this inherent bias, and therefore everyone who is of
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: color is entitled to a paycheck. I know that's just
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: their argument, it's not mine, but that's it. Our country
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: is irreparably sorry. It's born of original sin and therefore
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: must be brought down. It's just one element of this
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: whole idea of the United States is just absolutely irredeemable, period,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: end of story. Socialists are behind this, Marxist are behind this,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Globalists are behind this. It's not my argument, it's their argument.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to articulate the best I'm capable of
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: in spite of the fact that it flies in the
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: face of my logic and reason aed anyway over the phone.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: So let's see, let's get one more call. We got
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Paul on the line. Paul, thanks for calling this morning.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Happy Monday to you.
• 31:28
  Speaker 10: The same to you.
• 31:29
  Speaker 11: Hey, I wanted to call about your recent interview with
• 31:31
  Speaker 11: Rand Paul. I have a little bit of an affinity
• 31:33
  Speaker 11: for him, particularly for his father. His father's historical battles
• 31:38
  Speaker 11: against the Fed, against all the money printing, all the overspending,
• 31:44
  Speaker 11: and Rand Paul. You know, it reminds me a little
• 31:46
  Speaker 11: bit of like John the Baptist, a lone voice crying
• 31:49
  Speaker 11: in the littleness, and I think you've got a little
• 31:52
  Speaker 11: bit affinity for him as well. Well. The thing is
• 31:57
  Speaker 11: is that I really am glad to see that he's
• 32:00
  Speaker 11: pushing the White House ballroom bill. We need to get
• 32:02
  Speaker 11: that done. One thing I'd like to ask him, if
• 32:06
  Speaker 11: you happen to think about this your next time you
• 32:08
  Speaker 11: do have a chance to talk with him, I'd like
• 32:10
  Speaker 11: to see him take advantage of this opportunity of the
• 32:12
  Speaker 11: current administration in these precious two years we have, especially
• 32:15
  Speaker 11: coming up from November elections, to kind of form consensus
• 32:18
  Speaker 11: and work with Republicans where he can while still reminding
• 32:22
  Speaker 11: them of budget concerns.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I wish more Republicans would well follow the party platform
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: and worry about budget concerns. No one seems to be
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: a fiscal hawk anymore, my friend. And that is the
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: biggest You can argue about the Chinese Communist Party, the
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Russian you can talk about terrorism, you talk about global threats,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: and go on and on and on. Oh my god,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: we're all going to die. We're gonna die as a
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: consequence of the printing press running. We have forty trillion
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: dollars in debt. We got to pay a trillion dollars
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: a year for the credit card bill interest, and it's
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: just getting worse and worse every day. Members of both
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: parties are responsible for it. No one seems to care
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: as we just basically go over a cliff period. I
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm at a loss about that one,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: my friend, I really am. Yeah. More people should listen
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: to Senator Paul More. People should embrace his concepts of
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: reversing the train wreck that we are going to invariably
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: or inevitably feel that light at the end of the
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: tunnel is not daylight. It's the other train coming our way.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Scary stuff. Man, All right, Happy Monday, cdcalk Station, Happy Monday,

• 34:03
  Speaker 1: says Jeuge Jreker. Tomorrow's day primary, Get out and vote
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: your vote will mean a whole lot more tomorrow than
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: it will in November. Sadly, the number of people actually
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: going to vote in November won't even be as much
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: as it should be. Moving over instead of political discourse
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: pegging in a run anap at PC the other day,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: and I was reminded of it yesterday. This de evolution.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: My friends. We have a Pennsylvania Democrat Senate candidate, guy
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: named Raymond Chandler bat crap and saying he is has
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: been arrested for threatening to kill President Trump. This idiot
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: left threatening voicemails to members of Congress, including the following quote, Sir,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: I'm calling this morning because I want you to imagine
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: a scenario. I want you to imagine a scenario where
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: all the twelve hundred billionaires in this country, all their
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: properties are surrounded simultaneously by a thousand people. So imagine
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: your house, your daughter's house, everyone you know and love
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: who is also rich. Imagine every single one of those
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: homes being surrounded by a thousand people. Then imagine them
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: all getting a text and then then suddenly taking out
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: their pocket knives, walking slowly towards your house with ten
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: You got your ten guards or whatever, against a thousand people.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: And then they come and they pull you out of
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: your house, and they slit your throat, and they slit
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: your daughter's throat, and they slit everyone's throat. That you know, sir,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: that is the future. And according to the affidavit his
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: arrest affidavit, he left another voicemail message to what is
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: described as an unidentified member of Congress. Quote, I want
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: you to put that firearm to the President's head, and
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: I want you to pull the trigger, and I want
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: you to kill him. Pluse quote welcome to the state
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: of political discourse. Pivoting over to Beggy Noonan how not
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: to respond to political violence, and she writes, I don't
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: think we fully appreciate how much the country is descending
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: into political violence. We aren't seeing the speed and pitch
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: of the dissent. It's an amazing and little noted fact
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: that at least four cabinet secretaries in the second Trump administration,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: including the heads of the State and Defense part departments,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: have reportedly had to live on military basis because the
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: number and severity of the threats against them. One top
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: stafford the president is known to be so situated, as
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: is the army secretary and one unnamed official. This is
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: all unprecedented in scale. People who work for presidents have
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: always lived in houses in northern Virginia, the District of Columbia.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: They haven't had to live surrounded by US troops. None
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: of this is normal. But then the appearance at the
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: home of a Supreme Court justice of a man with
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: a gun is abnormal, Member Brett Kavanaugh on June at
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, as is the campus assassination of a
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: prominent conservative activist, Ie Charlie Kirk September of last year,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: or the three known attempts on the life of President Trump.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: We've entered a new dark time, and we have to
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: think more about how we publicly handle assassinations and attempted assassinations.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: There's no reason to believe we're going to see fewer
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: of them. We are a country with a long history
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: of political violence, a country with three hundred and thirty
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: million people and more than that many guns, and mental
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: health crisis, and thinking very much of what we show
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: on our screens as we act out our roles in
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: the drama. In terrible moments, we should keep in our
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: minds these thoughts don't inflame things don't make them hotter
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: and more dramatic. This gets us the last Saturday Night
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: and the would be assassin at the White House correspondence dinner.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: The security failures surrounding that evening have been covered elsewhere.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Those immediately guarding the presidents seem to be hardy and quick,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: but the peripheries of such events are a continuing problem.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: My Beggy Newton, my concern is how we react publicly
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: what's on the screens. Granted that everyone was at least
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: a little shaken and such circumstances, people often suffer from
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: what Tom Wolfe called information compulsion. You can't stop talking. Still,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: the president should have held his news should not have
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: held the news conference after almost being shot, because he
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: never knows what he's going to say, and members of
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: the media never know what they're going to ask. Also,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: there are lots of young reporters covering the White House,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: and they have energy and ambition, but lack deep judgment
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: and wisdom, and they don't know history in a way
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: that prompts them to see its healthier templates. Questions were
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: asking the news conference in the roughly twenty four hours
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: after it did no good to ask, quote, why do
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: you think this keeps happening to you. I'm no longer
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and trader to coat
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: my hands with his crimes. What's your reaction to that? Guys,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: you can't immediately after the evan ask an American president
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: to praise and consider the or parse rather and consider
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: the rants of his would be killer to chatter about
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: why someone would want to shoot him. Part of the
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: reason is any future would be shoot or watching will
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: be thinking like this. I can try to kill a
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: president and then my thoughts can fill his minds, and
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: everyone considers my historically important opinions. Everyone talks about me
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: and my genius, and I am a somebody. I move mountains,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: I shoot presidents, and this is worth it. I am
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: finally understood as a world historic figure. That's an interesting paragraph,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: isn't it. Assassin Assassins are delusional. Delusional people think they're
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: extremely significant and should be item one in the national consciousness.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: We are losing our judgment about what should be said
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: and can't be said. We need to go back to
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: a little terseness. Imagine it like this, late evening April fifteenth,
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: eighteen sixty five, and Abraham Lincoln has survived an assassination attempt,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: the bullet aimed by John Wilkes Booth having merely nicked
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: his now banded skullp Lincoln meets with the press in
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: the Red Room. Horace Greeley, the old war Horse, the
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: New York Tribune bores in, Mister President, this is the
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: second known time that someone has tried to shoot you.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Why do people keep trying to kill you? Booth is
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: reported to have screened six semper tyrannus as he jumped
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: from the balcony. Mister President, why do people think you're
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: a tyrant? The unflappable Lincoln might have been a little
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: non pulse plus. Rather some questions would have constituted a
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: serious breach in human decorum. But then again, really wouldn't
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: have asked them, and Lincoln wouldn't have called a news
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: conference because he'd have known. Sometimes reporters asked the kind
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: of questions that scene inane, but are an excitement to
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: the unstable. All that is needed in such circumstances. Does
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: a leader to a four minute taped or live statement
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: saying He's fine, everyone's fine. Law enforcement apprehended the shooter.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: The Secret Service, we're brave life continues apace after such
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: a terrible moment. The congressional leadership of both parties should
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: appear on screen together in a simple terms, reject violence.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Make one thing clear. Political assassination is a particularly grave
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: crime because it is an attempt to kill democracy itself.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: The people elect their representatives, but the assassin says, no,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: only my vote counts. I annul your collective choice. That
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: is an assault on the constitutional order. We will not
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: have it. Something like the correspondence dinner happens. Everyone goes
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: into his corner and points a finger outward. The violence
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: is coming from the left. No, it's coming from the right.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: It isn't a pointless argument. But those engage that it
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: tend to be on one side or another and getting
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: hate mail and threats from the opposite side, and that
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: tells them it's the other side that is the devil.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Sense is that in recent years both sides threatened violence,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: but the left is now more likely to act on it.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: And truly, all now should be aware of a rising
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: spirit of Luigi Mangioniism, of the belief that the system
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: is so vicious and corrupt that violence is justifiable, and
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: those who rise to the top in spheres such as
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: business and politics. Well, they have it coming just about
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: every major CEO in America now as private security. They
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: didn't used to. Even ten years ago, they didn't. It
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: is sick and terrible that they do now. I end
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: with this thought. Since at least the turn of the century,
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: our young people have been told endlessly in school and
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: in media that they will never have a nice life.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: The rising seas will drown them, a racist, misogynistic culture
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: will abuse them. The economy can no longer make a
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: place for them. If it is relentlessly drilled into you
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: that you'll never have a satisfying and constructive life. When
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: you're twenty two years old, your brain isn't even fully
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: developed yet, you just might think it holy legitimate that
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: you indulge your fury and strike at those who have
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: thwarted you. Maybe you want to change the emphasis to
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: there are reasons to live, and you are not doomed,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: and you have a place here. Amen. Peggy noonan Well stated,
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: I can only pray that maybe people suggest or follow
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: her suggestions. I'm not holding my breath sadly six sixteen
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: fifty five KR see the talk station. Feel free to
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: give me a call more obviously on the play here
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: the TWRNY here fifty five krc DE talk station. Happy Monday,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: Marion Thomas inviting phone calls if you'd like to call
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Chime in love, hear from you five one, three, seven
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: talk T five fifty on AT and T phones. As
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: it is Primary election eve, strongly encouraging to get out
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: and vote tomorrow. You have choices, and elections do have
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: serious cons on. This is a big one in November
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: with Shared Brown trying to well become a senator again.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: And get to that in a second, but real quick
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: invitation to lunch on Wednesday. The venue snows Lakeside Tavern,
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: which if you want to check out the menu and
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: information about it, it's Snowslikeside Tavern dot net. Anyway. Real
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: it's easy to get to if you know where the
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Coleraine Avenue exit is off two seventy five. You're like
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: five hundred feet from the place dry Ridge Road, but
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Colraine Avenue North and you take a while, you turn
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: onto dry Ridge and just jog a little bit near there.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: So simple to get from two seventy five I look
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: forward to seeing you. I love the fellowship at listener lunch,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: and looking forward to seeing my buddy cribbage Mike and
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: probably losing to him anyway. Christopher Smithman at seven to
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: twenty money Monday, with Brian James coming up at eight
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: oh five. All right, who said this quote, I support
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: closing the border to people so they can't cross the
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: border at will, but I also say, we, of course
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: should be deporting people that have committed a crime. Surely
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: close quote. Stop calling me Shirley who said that I
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: bet Shared Brown wasn't on your short list. See, with
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: short attention spans, people forget that Shared Brown was an
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: open borders guy. So, when you're contemplating who you want
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: to be your next senator, if you think that the
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: nefarious reality of Biden's open border policy was something beyond
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: just having to deal with our immigration reform efforts here
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: in the country, I got a bridge I want to
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: sell you.
• 45:40
  Speaker 8: You.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: See, you got to contemplate Joe Biden's open border policies
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: and the literal millions of people that came into our
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: country without vetting was not because we don't have a
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: pathway to citizenship or something whatever. Argument that they were
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: making during the time. We just need immigration reform to
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: stop this flow of humanity. No, you need a new administration,
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: new sheriff in town. The border immediately shuts. Look at
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: the statistics. It is undeniable that the open border under
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: the Bide administration was an intentional act by the Biden
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: administration to flood our country with a whole bunch of
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: people from around the four corners of the globe. Bah
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: Now Brown shared Brown back to his quote, He's a
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: strong on border security kind of guy. I guess no,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: not really. His voting record negates every single word that
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: came out of his mouth last month when he had
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: the nerve to say that in an interview. Twenty seven
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: to twenty twenty five, he was a senator nearly two
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: full decades. He lost to Senator Bernie Morino. Remember him.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Brown has been on the side of well doing anything
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: he can against Donald Trump's border security enforcement. While he
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: was a senator, he voted at least ten times to
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: protect federal funding for sanctuary cities.
• 46:51
  Speaker 9: Hmmmm.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: From his time in the House in two thousand and
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: one through his third Senate term in twenty twenty four.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Fox News for summon it all up, co
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: sponsor of the twenty nineteen and Mass Deportation Act that
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: sought to rescind Trump's executive order to prioritize deporting criminal
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: illegals who he now says need to be deported from
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: our country. What's with the vote? Brown voted against ensuring
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: ICE has sufficient resources to detain a deport higher number
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: of illegal aliens who have been convicted of a crime.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Voted against funding to stop criminal aliens from securing amnesty.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: Voted to stop funding for deportation for criminal aliens back
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: in two thousand and one. Hmmm, he opposed the board
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: of the wall construction, which I will point out Trump
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: administration has been able to stop the flow of humanity
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: on the southern border without much additional wall creation, so
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: big advocates for one big, beautiful wall from coast to coast,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: or from the Gulf all the way to the Pacific
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: didn't really seem to be necessary when you look back
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: on Trump's ability to just slam the door shut without
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: any additional building. But he did vote to cancel Trump's
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: border wall projects in twenty twenty one against restarted the
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: wall construction in twenty twenty three. He was against three
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: hundred million dollars for US Customs and Border protection for
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: opioid and narcotic detection at the southern border, and against
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: funding relocating illevo aliens to Democrat sanctuary cities and states, which,
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: upon hindsight, I will acknowledge maybe that's something they wanted.
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Why might Democrats cities and states have wanted to have
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: the illegal immigrants rerouted to their communities see Minneapolis, Minnesota.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: More illegal aliens, more programs, more non governmental organizations. We
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: need these NGOs to help us deal with the massive
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: humanity and the disappearance of the whole concept from the
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: left of separation of church and state. If you like,
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: many Catholic organizations were in the business and industry of
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: helping resettle or otherwise acclimate illegal immigrants in any given
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: community you were the recipient of government funding. Where was
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: the left outrage on that? I could go on and
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: on and on. Anyway, just reminding you what reality, what
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: is versus what shared Brown's trying to sell you today?
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: Six twenty six. Politicians never do that, do they? Thankfully
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: we have a record talk station six point thirty I
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRCD talk station Happy Unday. Anybody disturbed by
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: the Iranians using dolphins to plant mines on boats. When
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: I was eight years old, the movie Day of the
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Dolphin came out. Some older people remember that one. It
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: was a political assassination to try to kill the President
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: of the United States of America. The premise of the
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: movie using a magnetic limpet mind that was attached to
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: the boat that the president was on, attached by a
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: dolphin with a limpitt mine on its back. So this
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: has been going on for years and years and years.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: I think we were behind the original use of animals.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: That could be wrong, could have been the Soviet Union.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: But this is not anything new. It's new for a
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: new generation of folks, though not new. Started out the
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: morning show talking about this. One discussed I was now
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily advocating for the suspension of the gas tax.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: Governor Wine said, hell, no, house Uppers, listen to five
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: o'clock hour podcast. If you don't know what I was
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: still laughter is it was a comical, comical thing going
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: on at five o'clock. Anyway, Thank you, Jos Trecker. Representative
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Toy Matthews proposing rolling back the roughly thirty nine cent
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: per gallon tax we have in Ohio for gasoline forty
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: seven cents on diesel, pointing out that we're all feeling it.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: Governor de Win though, says no, no, no roads. We
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: have to worry about roads, opposing the plan because the
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: tax money is essential to maintain and construct roads. According
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: to the Wine in his statement, we like to have
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: good roads, we like to be able to drive, and
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: we also know that when we have huge holes in
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: our roads that can have a real impact on your car.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: I just read it again because maybe Cincinnai City council
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: members and the mayor, maybe the city managers responsible for
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: the sorry state of affairs on Cincinnati city roads. I
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: guess the money hasn't quite made it back into Cincinnati anyway,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: just saying oh, and then here's this other one while
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: we all struggle to fill the gas tank up. Rest
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: assured your taxpayer dollars are doing some real good here
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: in Hamilton County. Yes, I know, it's a consequence of
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: a contract we entered into many years ago. Bad contract
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: it was, But the county commissioners just to prove you
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: here in Hamilton County paying for five point seven million
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: dollars to demolish pay Course Stadium's scoreboard. It costs five
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: point seven million dollars to demolish it. Next step phase two,
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: Phase three is profit parenthetically an additional sum about the
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: same six point nine million dollars to build a new scoreboard,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: which commissioners apparently are set to approve in phase two.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Commissioner Dreehouse, It's part of the project is improvement to
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: the technologies and the scoreboard, and so it's going to
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: be a larger and improve the fan experience. Basically, grammatically
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: incorrect as that statement may have been. It's all about
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: the fan experience inside pay Course Stadium. How many times
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: have you been there? I don't know how scoreboard's gonna
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: improve the fan experience, Joe, I don't know how the
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: locker improvements additional upgrades. Thank you to wlwt's Brian Hammrick
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: for reporting or reminding us that we already have improvements
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: to the visitor's locker room that were approved as well. Joe,
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: the visitors locker room that can enhance the fan experience.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: At what's the average salary of a football player NFL
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: football player? I know too much, but you don't have
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: that figure on the top of your head, neither do I.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: Do you think they're going to get a disco ball
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: in the locker room, because you know every NFL team
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: needs a disco ball. The Steelers need to be warm
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: when they kick our butts. Thank you, Joe. That's a great,
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: great observation right there. A semi driver died in a
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: single vehicle crash and closed multiple roads downtown Cincinnati. Happened
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: at ten till seven last night. Officers showed up at
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: Fort Washington Away in East Second Street report of a

  Speaker 1: crash involving a semi. Since I fired, Apartment Assistant Chief
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: Matt Flagler announced in press conference that the driver the
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: semi died after being trapped in the semi. He said
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: the semi and the tractor trailer both heavily involved in
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: the fire. Firefighters were able to remove the driver from
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: the semi, but again died from the injuries. Expected northbound
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: seventy one to be closed for several hours, but apparently
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: I think it has reopened. Thankfully, not interrupting your morning commute.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: And finally, go to Covington. Sadly, thirteen year old dead
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: after his shooting occurred on Friday, Court to Captain Justin

  Speaker 1: for just over a week. Happened on April twenty fourth.
• 53:56

  Speaker 1: facing charges of assault in the shooting of the thirteen
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: year old. If you have any information, though, you need
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: to get in touch with the Coming To Police Department.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: They would love to hear from you, or just go
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: straight to Crime Stoppers, which also handles Northern Kentucky five one, three, three, five,
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: two thirty forty six point thirty six or fifty five
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: ker CD talk station don't go away planning to talk
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: about it coming up and.
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: I see the talk station.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: Six forty on a Monday five three seven nine fifty
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three taco a ton
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: five fifty. If you have an AT and T, punk
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: kind of feel like I need to jump into the
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: stack is stupid. We had a bunch of callers in
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: the five o'clock yard didn't even do one stack of stupid.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: I know there's a lot going on in the world, still,
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: it's Monday, so let me just start with this one.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: It's not a stack of stupid, but uh I no
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: fan of cruises, am I? I know a lot people
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: love cruises. I am. I just psychologically just feel trapped
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: in one because one of the one cruise that I
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: went on and it was beautiful, did the inside passage
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: to alask And my feeling the whole time I was
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: on the boat is I want to go over there,
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: and it's out of your control. You can't get off
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: the boat. It's a weird feeling. Especially it's weird if
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: there's some sort of horrific outbreak. It's a giant Petrie
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: dish and the boats just keep getting bigger and bigger
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: and bigger. It's like a floating city out there, and
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: you have hantavirus to have to concern yourself with. Now
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: three people are dead, multiple others have apparently come down
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: with this hantovirus a court to the World Health Organization,
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: they said one case of Hannah virus infection has been
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: laboratory confirmed, five initial suspected cases pending. Of the six
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: people affected, three again dead, others in intensive care in
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: South Africa. It's a cruise ship floating in the Atlantic Ocean.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: Huh how did that happen? This hanavirus infection is typically
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: linked to the exposure to infected rodent urine or feces.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: I just leave you with that. Can I get off
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: the boat? Please? Uh?
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: Here in Ohio, I guess people are bat crapping staying
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: up in the Greater Toledo area. Does anybody in the
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: listening audience believe in Bigfoot? I didn't get a hand
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: from Jus Tracker, so the we don't have any votes
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: in favor of Bigfoot. Are you a member of the
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: Ohio Nightstalkers Bigfoot Research Group? That's a thing. I'm just
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: wondering whether the Ohio Nightstalker's Bigfoot Research Group got a
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: handout from the government to haramth like Zorhan Mom, Doabby
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: handing out five hundred thousand dollars amid a multi billion
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: dollar budget crisis in New York so people can get
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: together and are encouraged to sit down and begin a
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: discussion on reparations. Now you heard that, right, incentive to
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: get people to talk about it, and also providing refreshments.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: So does a bigfoot organization get handed the cookie jarm?
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: Just leave that as a side note. But there are
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: actually people believe in Bigfoot. Now. We live in a
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: society where we have literally phones everywhere. If you haven't
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: got the memo on that everything is recorded by somebody
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: with a cell phone. We got photograph, not like the
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: old days where you get a grainy image of bigfoot.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: You think, well, that's kind of normal. Who walks around
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: with cameras and and well there was no video. Who
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: walks around with movie camera and takes random videos out
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: in the wilderness. Nobody. That's why video as a hoax,
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: the original one, you know, the one I'm talking about. Well,
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: the Ohio nightstalk or Bigfoot Research Group says, well, there's
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: a bunch of new evidence now, and you know why,
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: It's because we had a bad winter. According to the
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: New York Post, reporting on this, Yes, because we had
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: a bad winter, and they roll back the clock to
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy eight when we had the worst winter on record,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: and apparently the number of sightings of Bigfoot jumped after
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: that very cold winter. So the folks over to Hio
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: nightstalkers will saying that's what it is. But what evidence
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: do you have? Literally nothing but random people who are
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: taking pictures of footprints. Do you think the footprints are
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: real or do you think someone manufactured them? I bet
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: you don't even have to fake a footprint, you know,
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: like pushing snow down or drawing one on the ground
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: to take a picture of it. You probably Joe chat
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: GPT have it, create a Bigfoot footprint and then post
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: it online so folks up in the Portage County can
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: look at it and say, look, more evidence of Bigfoot.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: One guy captured recordings of apparent howls, which he says
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: didn't match any known animal in North America, apparently an
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: expert on all things animals in North America, saying some
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: of those screams pegged higher than a bad moon on
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: the spectrograph, and that is evidence shaky at best, And
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: as the post points out, no one. Not a single
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: human being, not even the diehard Bigfoot spotters, have managed
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: to take a photograph or video or anything that suggests
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: the existence of Bigfoot. I think they live in a
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: colony right over there, next to the chupacabra and the
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: lizard people. Six forty five ifty five krsit the talk station.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: It's a Monday, give me a break. Galaxy concrete coatings,
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: six fifty fifty five karsite talk stations. Okay, I'm convinced.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: Try to have a little fun on the Monday morning.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: We're going back to that sasquatch story. Hey, just guess what,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: Joe Jrekker went to chat GPT and created footprints in
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: the snow. Those are sasquatch footprints. I can see it.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: There's no there's no animal in North America, Joe that
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: could make a footprint like that. That must be a sasquatch.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: Put that up on the blog page if you have
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: Casey dot com, Joe, so you can convince every every
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: other non believer out in the world that they're well,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: there exists sasquatches. Let's see what Todd's got. Todd, thanks
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: for calling an adultomy there for a moment. Welcome to
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: the Morning Show.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Brian. I think I can end this old
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 4: swatchquatch sasquatch thing. I'm from south to the River and
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 4: have worked with and hang around with a lot of
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: blue collar I don't want to use the redneck term,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: so I'll just call them good old boys. Do you
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 4: know any Do you know any self respecting good old
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: boy that would not want a bigfoothead our sasquatch had
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: mounted on his wall?
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not everyone.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 4: If they, if they were out there, they would have
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: got one, right all I'm.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: Saying, right, you can charge ten you know, it's like
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: fifty cents to get in.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: Hey, look it's a scotsquatch head.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: If you had one, you'd make millions and billions of
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: dollars because people around the globe would pay you to
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: take a look at it. You good, good point, thought Todd.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you, where do sasquatch go to die?
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: How come there have been no found dead sasquatches in
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: the wilderness.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 4: That's been my question to any sasquatch hunter. I mean,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 4: if they're that good, they would have found.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 9: Some remains somewhere, somewhere, and.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 4: On and on a slightly more serious note, I've neglected
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 4: to say this the last few times I called in.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 4: It's an answer to a lot of most of our local, statewide,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 4: and even national problems. Very serious here, So pay attention.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 4: Oh vote Democrats, Thank you very much, Thank.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: You, Todd. Question, did Noah gather two of the sasquatch
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: and put them on the arc asking for my religious friends?
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: Ah?
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: You noticed having a bit of a time here on
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: the Monday morning. All right, I do want to go
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: back to this stack is stupid, springing from a loosely
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: related springing from the reality that, given the ubiquitous nature
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: of photographs and video these days, somebody would have had
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: a picture of it. The sad reality is the ubiquitous
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: nature of well recording devices these days. We go to
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: the stack is stupid, and we go to a DoorDash
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: driver from New York, Olivia Henderson. She's twenty three now
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: facing charges of unlawful surveillance in the second degree as
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: well as dissemination of an unlawful surveillance image in the
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: first degree. Those are both felonies in New York. Led
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: not guilty this past Friday morning, each count carrying a
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: maximum of four years in prison. We rewind to Octoe
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: October twelfth of last year, when Henderson made a doorn
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: ash food delivery to a person in Oswego. Oswego Police
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: Department said she recorded this guy who was passed out
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: on his couch. The door was slightly ajar. Apparently the
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: guy got drunk and passed out. Sadly for him and
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: ultimately for her, his pants and underwear were pulled down
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: around his ankles as he was passed out on the couch.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: So I'm sure you can come up with a mental
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: image of that. So she opens the door a little
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: bit and decided to take film of him, recording taken
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: without his consent. Henderson later posted on the video on
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: TikTok quickly quickly amassed millions of views. Of course it did.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: Henderson accusing court documents of degrading the victim by filming
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: intimate parts of his person in a place in time
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: where he he had reasonable expectation of his privacy without
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: that person's knowledge or consent. Now, her initial response was
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: her that her TikTok post that she actually got sexually
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: harassed during the delivery. Well, the Oswego Police Department looked
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: into that and decided sorry honey, sucks to be you.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: There's no evidence to support that claim, and the customer
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: cooperated with authorities and was determined that he simply passed
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: out from alcohol consumption in the privacy of his own home.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: Her door Dash account was in fact deactivated and she
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: scheduled to be back in court in jim Also, yet
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: another report of a physician recording people in the bathroom.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: Kind of makes you wonder when you go to some
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: private place where the eyes are and if eyes are
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: upon you, doesn't it six fifty five ifty five kc
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: de talxation don't go away.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 12: We'll figure.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: Seven oh six at fifty five KR. See the talk station.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas right here. Glad to be Glad to have

• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe he'll chime in on you and

  Speaker 1: I paying for a new teardown and creation of a
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: brand new scoreboard at pay Corpse Stadium twelve million dollars.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: For that, just I find it particularly insulting to have
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: to deal with this concept that you and I work
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: so that we can provide upgrades for the Brown family.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: How many times have you personally set foot in pay
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: Course Stadium and thank you for a cribbage Mike, my
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: submariner friend who I hopefully will be playing cribbage with
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: on a listener to lunch this coming Wednesday, snows Lakeside Tavern,
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: real close to the two seventy five corad Avenue exit.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: But he chimed in on this topic, and so it's
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: a total of like twelve million dollars. They're going to
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: tear down the pay Corpse Stadium sign the scoreboard at
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: a cost of five point seven million dollars, which is
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: approved by the County commissioners the other day, and then
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: an additional sum roughly six million dollars to put a
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: new one in oh and also upgrade the visitor's locker room,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: which at least according to count commissioners, will enhance the
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: fan experience. So Mike did some quick math. Twelve million
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: dollars the county's going to spend on the scoreboard rip
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: out an install divided by the nine Bengals games that
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: comes in at a price tag of one point three
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: three million dollars per game. Now, if you want to say, well,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: if they play fifteen games, okay, that is a clues
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: away game. So he did the numbers for fifteen, eight
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars per game. Will you be enjoying a
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: greater fan experience? I don't think that I need one,
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: because I have a better fan experience than it would
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: if I went to the Bengals game because I can
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: watch it on TV. I got my own beer, it
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: doesn't cost twelve dollars. I have better food, and I
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: have better bathroom accommodations. And I have to pay a
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of money for parking.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: I did pay six dollars a gallon for premium the
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: other day. And I know that has nothing to do
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: with this, but you know, it's when all these other
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: financial pressures show up and then you realize as I do,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: and I hope you take this into account. Like I
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: regularly point out, I worked for that. There are elected
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: officials that decided in their infinite wisdom that you and
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: I are supposed to pay for this stuff, and I
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: think it's insulting and going back to guvernor to Wine,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think that we need to get rid
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: of the gasoline tax because gasoline's gone through the roof.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: He rejected it out of hand. It was proposed by
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: one of our elected officials here in OHI well, just
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: roll back the gas tank. That'll say a gas tax,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: say forty cents a gown for people who are being
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: harmed and are feeling the pain of the gasoline increase,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: you know. And that was that article was underneath the
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: article about Hamilton County approving basically twelve million dollars to
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: tear out a sign and put in a new one
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: to enhance the fan experience. Governor of Wine rejected giving
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: you and I some relief at the pomp. Fine. There
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: are arguments to be made for why that shouldn't have
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: It shouldn't happen, and he's not gonna let it happen.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: He says the roads will fall apart if we don't
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: have the gas tax. I wonder if since they got
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: the memo on that, because the roads are falling apart,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: in the city of Cincinnati, again elected officials deciding that
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: there are other priorities for you and I. But this
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: is the same governor apparently said it was aoka to
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: give the Cleveland Browns family six hundred million dollars for
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: their stadium.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: Hmm.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: And then there's the whole concept of the death spiral. Fortunately,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: people can leave if you're not happy with the taxation system.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: Thank God for the freedom of travel we enjoy in
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: this country. I mentioned Zorhan Mandabia proving five hundred thousand
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: dollars in it's paltry sum, but for the purpose of
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: taking taxpayer dollars to get people to sit down and
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: talk about reparations. And it's as simple as that. Yes,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: here's money to get to see the concept of people
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: getting together to create a reparation's plan. So it's like
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: two steps removed from even a proposal coming out, so
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: they don't have one. So he's paying people who are
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: involved in the concept of reparations to sit down together
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: on some fashion and discuss discuss putting together a proposal.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: They need incentive for that. I guess there aren't enough
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: people out there that are willing to engage in a
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: debate because it's something they truly want and are willing
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: to spend some time to get it accomplished. Fortunately, people
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: can leave New York City And isn't Zorhamandami a reflection
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: of how unbelievably crazy our country has become that a
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: socialist slash communist could get elect did this should be?
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: It's a canary in the coal mine, folks, And it's
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: way beyond that. Someone running as a socialist and getting
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: a sizeable percentage of people interested in voting for him
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: is just a frightening concept. But this guy won and
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: he is now running the largest one of the largest
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: cities in the world, and his concepts and his ideas
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: for the taxpayer dollars are bat crap, insane, and obviously
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: cost the New York City a tremendous amount of money
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: because people are leaving. They've lost about a quarter of
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: a million residents since twenty twenty one. Reportedly six thousand
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: businesses have closed or relocated out of New York in
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: the past couple of years. Wealth decline is escalating, and
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: of course, when you can't pay for what you've promised already,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: you got to tax people more. And that's the proposal
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: coming from Mondami. We're just going to tax people more,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: not fully appreciating that more people will leave. This happens
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: everywhere it's been tried. Seattle is another great illustration. Net
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: loss of thirteen thousand jobs last year downtown area alone.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: People have left, corporations have left. Starbucks of all places,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: moved over into operations into Nashville, Tennessee, out of Seattle.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: Why well, in a city that has one of the
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: highest business failure rates in the entire nation. Apparently taxation
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: is a problem. And I think of the global tax
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: that the UN proposes. You know, there shall be nothing
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: less than at least a fifteen percent tax on all
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: corporations in the globe. Why is that? Well, they know
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: you can leave. See, this is the problem for the
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: United States. When you enter our country, the reason you
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: come here is probably because your country sucks on some level.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: We are a country that has a social welfare safety
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: net that literally any human being in the world that
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: actually gets into our country can hook themselves up to
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: how long is that going to last? But they fled
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: the misery that whatever form of government brought them and
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: come here because obviously we have it a lot better here.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: No one in the planet lives on a higher standard
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: than Americans generally speaking, that is, people of all socioeconomic
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: incomes right across the spectrum. And what's happening in those
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: other countries? Collapse? Financial collapse. What's happening in the cities
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: where they have adopted socialism slash communism? Economic collapse? New
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: York City? What five point four billion dollar deficit city?
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati also struggling with his own deficit? Where's the money going?
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: Have they prioritized things properly? Are they using your tax
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: payer dollars in a way that benefits everyone equally? Or
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: are they well handing out money to their friends? Right?
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: You know the answer to that question, it's a rhetortal one.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: So a little bit myffed about this this morning, folks,
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: and I go back to the funding of stadiums, question
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: of priorities, in a question of our taxpayer dollars, our
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: labor being used in ways that I truly do not
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: personally believe, and I'd like to think the vast majority
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: of people don't believe, are benefiting the taxpayers equally across
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: the board in ways that we well again could all
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: benefit like roads. Going back to governor to one. I'm
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: not rolling back the gas tax. You're gonna you're stuck
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: with the pain. Go ahead and blame Donald Trump or
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: whoever you want to blame for it. But we need
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: our roads taken care of. That's a good argument. We
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: can all benefit from good roads.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 3: City.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: Since he hasn't gotten that memo either. Five on three
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: two three talk seven nineteen coming up a seven twenty
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: fifty by pair see the talk station. Thank God, it's
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: Monday and God Christopher smitheman's on the phone. I'm a
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: vice mayor of the city of Cincenia and a little
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: thing we call Monday Morning smither Vent in honor of
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: my father and the spleen vent he used to do
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: before he passed. Welcome back, Christopher. I hope you had
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: a wonderful weekend.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: It's good to have you on the show as always.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 6: Man, Thank you man. Nobody fills the shoes of your father.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 6: Nobody I listened to nobody, nobody did we just we
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 6: just sent hump we just we just sit humbly at
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 6: his feet. Yeah, as he watches.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: You say that, man, I just go right back to
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: the dinner table growing up, man, Dad. That's right, Dad
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: was the king of the dinner table. We had so
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: many awesome conversations about politics growing up. Man. I just
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: have such fond memories of my father and those dinners
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: and those family dinners.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 12: Man.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: I know you have great fond memories of family dinners
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: as well, Christopher.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 6: I do. But you know, again, we're in your we're
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 6: in your father's zone, and as your mother listens to this,
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 6: we just hope that we're doing him any little service
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 6: as she watches and listens to her own son do
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 6: the show and me trying to fill his shoes. So
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 6: it's just that's just reality, buddy. It is as we
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 6: as we approach Mother's Day, Happy Mother's Day, Early Mother's
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 6: Day to your your mom, and happy early Mother's Day
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 6: to your wife.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: So thank you for that.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, let me say thank you, brother. Let me say this.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 6: You know this administrative hearing, so again staying on what's
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 6: going on with Chief Fiji, our police chief who was
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 6: wrongfully fired without cause? The reason I can say that,
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 6: so the public is listening, say how can smitham and
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 6: just say that because there's nothing in her file. There's
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 6: no written reprimands, and there are two law firms that
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 6: couldn't come up with a reason. So not only could
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 6: the city manager not come up with something, but the
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 6: law firms hired didn't come back with anything.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, going back to me feeling insulted about how they
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: spend taxpayer dollars. Fortunately, I don't spend taxpayer dollars in
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati. But there's another insult right there.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: One hundred thousand dollars or a couple of law firms
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: to try to find a reason to justify post a
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: Hawk her being placed on administrative leaving and fired. Man,
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: that's insulting to the tax if they took a moment
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: in time to even contemplate it. But go ahead, Christopher,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry to interject.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 6: No, but but no, no, no, but no, no. I
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 6: like it when you interject because I know that you're
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 6: listening audience. As they're listening, they're wanting to interject, right,
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 6: because so here's the reality of it is. On the
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 6: backstop of what you just said is they know that
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 6: we have a thirty million dollar deficity, right, and so
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 6: they're spending money in one hand, and on the other hand,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 6: they're telling us we're about to raise your income tax
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 6: because we need more money and we can't figure it out.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: And going back to my point about New York City
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: and Seattle, that that means more people are going to
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: leave the city of Cincinnati, Right, Christopher, can't you anticipate.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 6: That one hundred percent? You're going to see businesses saying
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 6: I'm out of here because they're going to say it's
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 6: just cheaper and safer. Those two things. Maybe not in
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 6: that order. They might say safer and cheaper. Listen, let
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 6: me remind everybody that Procter Gamble has a Mason campus
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 6: that is massive. I guarantee you they're thinking about moving
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 6: employees who are downtown that will say, listen, I don't
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 6: want to walk outside at six o'clock or seven o'clock
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 6: in the middle of the winter when they change the
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 6: time and it's dark. I'm not comfortable. Okay, we don't
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 6: want to lose you. You're going to Mason. Matter of fact,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 6: it's closer to where you live. The reality of it is,
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 6: it's already happening. It's just slowly and quietly because companies
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 6: like Procer Gambo don't like to rock the boat. But
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 6: going back to Chief Fiji. Here's what's happening. Their lawyer said,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 6: we are going to do it administrative hearing, the one
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 6: we had with Kangaroo Court. We want a real one.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 6: And what I see politically the lawyer's doing you're a lawyer,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 6: your wife's a lawyer. Is they want to go to
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 6: the judge and say, we did everything, we followed the
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 6: city's process. We've bent over backwards to try to get
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 6: the city to do the right thing, meaning we went there,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 6: we had an administrative hearing, and they still said with
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 6: no cause, you're fired and you cannot have your job
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 6: at Yes. So now they go to the judge and say, listen, hey,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 6: we fired her. The judge is, why did you fire this?
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 8: Pull a file out.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 6: There's nothing any here, It's a blank piece of paper.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 6: You just can't go into the courtroom like that. My
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 6: point is that watching Fiji's lawyer go to work, they
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 6: are just following the process and they're asking the city listen,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 6: I want a real hearing. I want my client to
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 6: come in. I want you to tell her what all
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 6: the charges are. I want you to tell her to
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 6: her face and give her an opportunity in front of
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 6: a neutral arbitrator say yes or no to what the
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 6: city is saying. The city doesn't want that hearing, because
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 6: if that happens in the and the officer, the hearing
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 6: officer says she gets her job back, what does the
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 6: city then do?
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: Good point, there we are she's exhausted that she can
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: walk in the straight face after having to file suit
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: because presumably that administrative hearing to the extendate happens is
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: going to end up the same way. Then she goes
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: into court and files a wrongful termination lawsuit. Can say
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: with a straight phrase, we have exhausted all non judicial remedies.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: We tried. We went through the entire process, even though
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: we knew it was a waste of time. But there
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: you have it. Now it's time to have a day
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: in court. It's good point, Christopher, I understand exactly what
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: her lawyer's doing.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 6: Twelve in the box, and everybody should continue to watch
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 6: this because on the other side of this, she mean
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 6: while I can and hearing, meaning he had a three
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 6: panel hearing, that decision is probably going to come back
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 6: in June, and most likely there's going to be a
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 6: trial this summer. With twelve in the box, they have
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 6: nothing of why they fire Chief Washington, and they most
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 6: likely are going to pay something massive at the end
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 6: of this lawsuit period for the fire chief. So I
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 6: want everybody to realize, we've got two things going on
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 6: at the same time. We've got a fire chief wrongfully fired.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 6: We've got a police chief wrongfully fired, and we have
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 6: a city manager that seems like she doesn't know what
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 6: she's doing.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: And what's the whole that we've got here for the
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: City of sin saying budget Christopher thirty million, Well, you
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: can add a little bit more of that after a
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: five six million dollars payout in each of those lawsuits.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: If you just want to pull a random figure from
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: your sphincter, why not. There's a large, sizeable chunk of
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: the deficit. It's going to increase by that much. And
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: that's just the only two of the lawsuits.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 6: And it's really hard to tell the judge you don't
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 6: have that kind of money when you just gave a
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 6: point one million to people who were downtown rioting, and
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 6: you gave them a point one million in a smoky
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 6: room away from the public, you settled the case instead
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 6: of saying, why don't we take this to trial? We
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 6: should have put twelve in the box and see if
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 6: you could find a jury that would say we agree
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 6: with this. No, you settled it. You gave eight point
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 6: one million. So the police chief and fire chief lawyer
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 6: are going to say, and the judge Hey says, you've
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 6: got eight point one million for this. You've got eight
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 6: million over here for the music that you Why don't
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 6: you have eight million for her? Why don't you have
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 6: eight million for him? Does you have the money?
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: Let's keep it rolling.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not smart.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 6: They're just not smart.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: No, they're not. Let's bring Christopher back. Got a couple
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: more segments with Christopher Smitheman and the smither Vent. Now
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: that spring gets you a roof and your gutters and
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: your sighting and your soft it's inspected by my friends
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: at Fasten Pro Roof into the best. Fatially thirty one
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: on a Monday, talking with Christopher Smitheman for the smither Vent.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: Christopher Smitheman, more on your mind. I'm certain good to
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: have you on the show this morning. What else?
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 6: Look, brother, we have an election tomorrow. Lots of voters
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 6: are casting votes, and very appreciate, appreciative of people who
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 6: go out and engage the political process. Vek Ramaswami is
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 6: running for a governor for the state of Ohio and
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 6: he is the candidate that I'm endorsing as that money
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 6: must thank you. We must have this candidate, common sense
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 6: businessman in the chair in November. Too many of our
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 6: cities are breaking in the wrong direction. Okay, we lose
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 6: the governorship, and I the state of Ohio is in
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 6: trouble based on what I see with crime, education, budget,
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 6: all of those things. So this is a consequential race.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 6: And what is so frustrating is to watch the Democrats
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 6: listen to this pivot attempt to paint the veak Ramaswami
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 6: as an outsider. Let me just let them know. I
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 6: know that President Lincoln figned in an executive order called
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 6: the Emancipation Proclamation, and I know clearly who voted for
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 6: every amendment that free plays. He said, smithman, why are
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 6: you talking about that? Because the Republican Party is the
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 6: party of freedom. The Republican Party is that party. It's
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 6: the Dixiecrats that we're worried about. And they're the ones
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 6: taking the VEC and putting him in a cowboy hat
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 6: and sending him out on the internet. By the way,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 6: David Pepper, the Democrat who wants to try to paint
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 6: him like he's some outsider, here's what he doesn't get.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 6: We understand and are much smarter than that. We're operating
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 6: at a big and higher level. Our connection with the
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 6: VEC is his values. We want a governor in there
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 6: that will look issues in the face like crime and
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 6: say we've got to solve this, no matter who's committing
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 6: the crime. Right, We've got to deal with education in
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 6: our state. We cannot have third graders not being able
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 6: to read and think it's okay. We have a culture
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 6: right now. Brian Thomason says it's okay everything. No child
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 6: left behind. Children are being left behind, and the super
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 6: majority of those children that are being left behind are
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 6: black and brown kids and Appalachian children across this great state.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 6: And we have a man that's coming in saying I
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 6: don't want to do the status quo because I understand
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 6: that getting a good education is one of the top
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 6: ways for someone to get into the middle class. We
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 6: just cannot continue to turn out students that cannot read
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 6: and do arithmetic and think this state is going to
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 6: compete because when the jobs come here, we need people
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 6: to feel those jobs, who are ready to feel those jobs.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 6: And the last thing I'll say about it is, I
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 6: like when the ve talks a lot of space for
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 6: vocational work, he understands, Look, dude, that the future of
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 6: our country is vocational, meaning those men and women out
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 6: there who are iron workers, who are out there who
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 6: are carpenters, those workers that are electricians and plumbers and
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 6: pipe fitters, and they make a lot of money. That
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 6: is what he's focused on. And so this notion that
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 6: the administrative administration of a lot of these school districts
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 6: are saying we want to protect what we have, and
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 6: we've got a governor that's coming in and saying, listen,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 6: we got to change things. I want some results. I
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 6: want to pay you for results. He doesn't know exactly
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 6: every single detail, because when you become the governor, you're
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 6: going to be faced with a lot of different challenges.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 6: The fact that he's willing to take it on is
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 6: absolutely a great reason to cast a vote for our children,
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 6: for a future for the state of Ohio. And that
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 6: is why I'm supporting the vak Aramaswami for the next
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 6: governor of the state of Ohio.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you got to remember, whoever we vote to
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: run as the Republican side of the Ledger in primary
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: tomorrow is the one that's going to be battling against
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: Amy Lockdown Actin. Ask yourself a question, who is a
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: better person to argue in a debate with Amy Acton?
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: And I could take out Amy Acting and to put
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: who's a better person arguing a debate with literally any
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: human being? And I think vivig romiswa I'm going to
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: be right up on top of most people's list if
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: you learn, if you listen to them, and you appreciate
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: his unbelievable intellect and his ability to talk on the
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: fly about all the issues that we find so important.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: One more with Christopher Smitheman. It's seven thirty six right now,
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRSD talk station seven forty at fifty five
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: CARSD talk station Bright the time with Christopher Smitheman, and
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: a shout out to you, Christopher, from Jeff and me
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: to Jeff and the crew at Mark Contol. They're doing
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: work that you're talking about. That's uh, you know, trade work.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: They make stuff, it's machine tool stuff. They listen every
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: morning and he always chimes in. He accuses you of
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: making too much sense this morning as usual, Christopher Smitheman,
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: So good morning to the crew at mark Con and Jeff,
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: my dear friend who listens to my recommendations. I think
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: these are a lot of my recordations. Almost every sponsor
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: that I recommend always chiming in when I speak of them.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: So good morning to those guys, and welcome back, Christopher.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: What else is on your mind?
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 6: I usually don't talk about national issues, but this one
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 6: plays in to local. Okay, we have a president that
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 6: has decided to do something about Iran, and all of
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 6: us have been watching this unfold. Every president, Democrat or
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 6: Republican prior to this president President Trump say they wanted
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 6: to do something about Iran. We had a president that's
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 6: sent a flab of cash. We've had presidents that have
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 6: sent money. We've had presidents that have negotiated terms while
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 6: they continue to build a nuclear weapon and literally telling
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 6: us when we get one, we're going to blow blow
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 6: up Israel, We're gonna blow up Europe, and we're gonna
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 6: blow up the United States States of America. So we
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 6: elect a president that actually believes that what they're saying
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 6: is true. I'm sure if satellites out over there are
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 6: showing these guys are over here trying to really get
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 6: this nuclear bomb. And every single president, Democrat or Republican,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 6: every senator like a shoot like Schumer, Senator Schumer, we
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 6: can see their speeches where they said Iran cannot get
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 6: a weapon, a nuclear weapon. What is it about us
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 6: that we our memories are so short as voters that
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 6: we can't see the hypocrisy of what these people are
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 6: talking about. President Trump isn't doing anything different than what
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 6: every single president and United States senator and congressional members
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 6: said they wanted to do the something about it. He's
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 6: not actual need a lion in the Wizard of Allz
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 6: with no courage. He actually has courage, and he's saying
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna do something about it. I'm gonna be the
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 6: president that says we're gonna stop Iran in their tracks.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 6: We as voters have to be willing to feel the
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 6: pain at our pumps in order for us to get
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 6: this right. We've got to be willing to march for
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 6: the next couple of weeks Americans and pay a little
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 6: hire and fuel and not allow the Democrats to connect
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 6: it to our voting When you've got a president who's
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 6: thinking about long term. See tomorrow, when people are voting,
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 6: they're going, oh, man, looking the guests, right, go.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 5: See five dollars, I see four fifty.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 6: I'm mad at somebody. No, You've got a president in
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 6: the White House, no matter what you think about him,
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 6: is saying I'm not gonna let a country get a
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 6: nuclear bomb that says they want to destroy us, and
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 6: I'm not gonna let it happen on my watch. I'm
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 6: gonna deal with it now, unlike the other presidents who
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 6: kept kicking it down the road. Oh let me just
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 6: give them money, Let me just try to negotiate with him.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 6: You cannot negotiate with them. We're clearly seeing it. Every
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 6: single document that comes from I ran right now says
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 6: I want a bomb. I want a bomb, I want
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 6: a bomb, And the president is saying, listen, this is
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 6: a no stopper here. So to every voter out there,
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 6: do not allow them to confuse you on the short term.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 6: Right me, As a financial printer, you've got to think
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 6: long term here, and you've got to be willing to
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 6: do something. This is why the Great, the Great Age
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 6: of World War two and all of those veterans who
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 6: you've been supporting ever since, ever since the beginning of
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 6: your show, that that generation is dying off. We have
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 6: to have Americans that are willing to sacrifice, have deferred gratification.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 6: We understand that this president is trying to do something
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 6: that no other president, congressional member, or senator, no matter
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 6: how many speeches they gave, no matter how many times
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 6: they said they didn't want Iran to get a nuclear weapon,
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 6: they did nothing. We should be celebrating what this president
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 6: is doing and saying, hey, guess what, Iran, You're not
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 6: gonna get a weapon, not on my watch. And I
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 6: just wanted to highlight that as we go into this election,
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 6: can we not get confused about fuel prices and why
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 6: those prices are high, because guess what, the last administration
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 6: had the prices higher than this. Yeah, but it was
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 6: about windmills, it was about electric cars, it was about
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 6: taking away our rights about what we want to drive.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 6: This is about our national security. It's about the future
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 6: of our great great great great great great great great grandchildren.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 6: To say, we're not going to allow a country that
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 6: is saying death to America get a nuclear bomb. Brian Thomas,
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 6: you have to say that he did directly connected to
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 6: the election.
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: You did, and you know, I love that you made
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: the point about Biden administration, the prices were higher than
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: they are now, or at least roughly about the same,
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: even that was because of green energy policies. If you're
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: angry about the current price of gasoline, you're gonna vote
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: for someone on the Democratic side of the Ledger who
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: is actively campaigning on exactly doing that again and shrining
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: it in legislation that it will forever drive up the
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: cost of your gallon of gas. You're gonna turn your
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: eyes to the reality of that. And because you're angry
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: right now that you had to pay five bucks a
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: gallon and that's a temporary thing. And if you don't
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: believe it's temporary, come on the straight. H Hoorn moves.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: Ultimately will open. It's not going to remain closed forever.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: The world will ultimately have to say, you know what,
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: enough's enough, and how they respond and ultimately do that
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: remains to be seen. But you know, once the strait
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: is open, this is gonna go away. It is a
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: temporary pain, and it is a pain. But someone would
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: turn their back on that and then also be voting
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: for no school choice lgbt QI A plus agenda. DEEI
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: woke all of it, all these eighty twenty issues where
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: you and I are on the eighty side of the
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: ledger with the American voter. You're going to turn your
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: back on that and vote for all of those twenty
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: percent issues that the Democrat has the Democrats have embraced.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: That's socialism, Christopher.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: I is.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 6: And I've been watching the news, you know, this morning,
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 6: and all you hear them talking about are fuel prices.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 6: I've never seen it, like, oh, let me tell you
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 6: where in this part of because of what fuel prices are,
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 6: they are literally trying to confuse voters. And you said
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 6: it just right. There's a difference between a geopolitical transaction
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 6: that's happening that is not permanent, and what they're talking about,
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 6: which is permanent, meaning these prices I paid. I drive
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 6: a diesel. I paid over six dollars a gallon for
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 6: diesel under Biden. Okay, I'm sharing with you as an
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 6: American when I understand what is happening, which I do.
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 6: I do mind sacrificing for our military, for our country
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 6: that has been so beneficial to me. It is un
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 6: American to root for Iran. So when I'm watching the
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 6: news this morning and I see people on TV rooting
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 6: for Iran, you know, basically saying, man, they're gonna hit
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 6: a boat. They're gonna do so, it's like these news
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 6: people have lost their minds. We live in America and
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 6: our team is USA. That's the team we're on, right.
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 6: I'm not saying we do everything perfectly every time. That's
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 6: not my point. USA is my team. Iran is not
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 6: my team, and they are saying they win a nuclear
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 6: bomb to blow us up. No matter whether you're Black Americans,
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 6: whether you're white Americans, Latino Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans,
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 6: whatever you call yourself straight or not straight, when that
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 6: nuclear bomb hits you, you're gonna burn up, like everybody's
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 6: gonna burn up. This is a united front. Where are
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 6: Democrats and Republicans and independence. This is why I'm an
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 6: Independent because sometimes these parties drive me completely nuts. I
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 6: do not understand how Senator Schumer can look in the
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 6: camera and act like he's been saying for the last
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 6: three to four to five decades, Iran cannot get a
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 6: nuclear weapon, and now he's totally done a switch on
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 6: us when he finally has a president that happens to
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 6: be Republican that he doesn't like. He acts as if
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 6: something bad is happening. It's not. He's trying to weaponize
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 6: fuel prices and tell voters don't vote for this person
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 6: because of short term pain. We need to tell all
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 6: of our children, all of our family members, be Americans,
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 6: support our country, and let's have a long game on
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 6: this one and say I don't mind suffering as Americans
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 6: for this president, this White House, for our military who
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 6: are over there doing a job so that future generations
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 6: never have to deal with Iran again. And I just
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 6: wanted to connect.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you did to the election prior to people voting,
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: and let's just put an exclamation point on as we part.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: Coming to this morning, Christopher Smitheman smither Schumer is being
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: critical of Trump. He is attempting to say gas price
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: is high because evil Orange man. What is he offering
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: by way of alternative solution. The silence on that one
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: is deafening. Christopher Smithvan going back to the other points
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: that you made. God bless you, sir. I love you.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: Coming on the program every week.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 6: People can focus people can find me in between these
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 6: shows on X or on Twitter whatever they call it,
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 6: formerly all of those things at vote smither Man. Thank
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 6: you so much, Brian.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: We'll talk next Monday. Have a great week, my friend
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: seven fifty right now fifty five KCD talk station. Get
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: in touch with Rhinoshield. Outstanding product, the serving the great
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: Happy Monday to you every Monday at this time, barring
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: somebody being away on vacation or otherwise not available. Money
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: Monday's Brian James joins the program at eight o five
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: talk about all things money related. He's a financial planner.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: Can I see you're still with all Worth or you
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: now have a name change, Brian, Just get that little
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: item out of the way up front.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 3: Now thing has changed, No name change. We just have
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 3: a new investment partner. We apparently are doing some things right,
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 3: and some other organizations want to get in on the action.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 3: I guess. But my job is still my job and
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 3: the name is still the name. No big changes there.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: All right, and no shock here. The gas prices, obviously,
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: I have an inflationary effect, the ripple effect. It comes
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: logically and reasonably since everything in this country moves based
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: on diesel or gasoline. We have inflation jumping, and now
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: it's it as fast as patients May twenty twenty three.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: And I think the information that CNN reported in the
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: article we're talking about here suggest over and over again
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: we have just we're just on a continuing trend of
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: inflation which has been going on for a long time
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: at a rapid pace. And this is one more exacerbating factor,
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: this most recent spike because of the straight of horror moves.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 3: You remember the campaign promised that inflation was going to
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 3: go away on day one.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I never believe that.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I really really will super wanted that to happen
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 3: if we're going to go this route.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: But do you remember when politicians actually were on the
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: campaign trail telling us things that we just couldn't believe,
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: and yet they said it anyway.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 3: That I do remember, Yeah, that's been that's been around
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 3: for decades.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 3: So now the reason we're whining about this still again
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 3: today inflation is heating back up again uh PC inflation
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 3: up three and a half percent year over year. And
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 3: as we all hopefully you know by now that the
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 3: Fed really wants us to be at two percent. We're
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 3: all much happier when we're around two percent. But again,
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 3: the pesky inflation is hanging around three and a half percent.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 3: Core PCE, which people both love and hate.
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: This excludes food and energy. I get it, the stuff
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: that we have to have. Yeah, period, Well do you
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: take that out make it look better? Yep, it doesn't
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: look that much better. It's so three point two percent.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 3: And again the reason that is done and I understand
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 3: I'm not an economist either, but Andy Stout has beaten
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 3: me over the head with why this is important. Food
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 3: and energy are really, really, really volatile. So true, either
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 3: of them can have a huge spike or a huge decline,
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 3: and that will not tell the story of all the
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 3: other stuff that we have to So we got to
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 3: look at it two different ways. Anyway, core PCE without
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 3: food and energy is up three point two percent. Whatever,
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 3: moral of the story is, everything is up a good
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 3: chunk over three. We did have a monthly spike in
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 3: March of a point seven percent. That's the biggest jump, Brian,
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 3: we've had since twenty twenty two. And where's this coming from?
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 3: Will go figure? Gas and energy spending surge dramatically and
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 3: that drove much of the increase. Want the spending as
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 3: well as the actual price itself due to what's going
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 3: on around the world. Of course, a lot of geopolitical tension,
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 3: oil disruption coming out of the Iran conflict. Now, this
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 3: has not affected spending so much. Spending rows one point
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 3: nine percent in March, almost one percent. A large chunk
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 3: of that that is in people going, hey, let's go
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 3: treat ourselves to steak dinners tonight because we're feeling good.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 3: It's simply inflation. So when you look dollars to dollars,
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 3: what were we spending versus what are we spending, we're
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 3: up close to one percent. That's coming from inflation mostly.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And one of the economists in the article that says,
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: even if you take out the effects of the war
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: and Iran, price growth is climbing, which is a cause
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: for concern. And I guess since we're still spending. Although
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: your point is well taken on, you know, if you
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: adjust for inflation, maybe not. But is the next step
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: people belt tightening, which sounds to me in an inflationary
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: environment that we stagflation wouldn't if we stop buying a
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 3: That's literally the definition of stagflation. That's a that's a
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 3: term that brings back the seven bell bottoms and disco
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 3: balls and all that. That's a seventies term right when
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 3: prices are going up, but the economy is not growing.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 3: So maybe the FED kind of is stuck in a
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 3: bind right now. Inflation is too high to justify cutting rates.
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 3: That wouldn't make any sense. I'll make everything worse. And
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 3: the economy is not weak yet. I don't know that
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 3: I would say that, but it's not strong enough to
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 3: aggressively hike. So that's where we have this weight and
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 3: see policy, which which there's kind of nothing we can
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 3: do anyway. There is division growing internally within the FED,
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 3: so some of those governors want hikes, others want cuts,
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 3: some are undecided. And plus we have a leadership change
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 3: coming anyway soon here with Powell exiting, so who knows
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 3: how that's going to change policy. But I think in
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 3: the short run, I don't really expect much much verbiage
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 3: at all out of the FED. The economy underneath this
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 3: is it's kind of okay. The GDP is running around
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 3: two percent, Yeah, that's below where it potentially could be,
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 3: and we are starting to see some consumer fatigue. It's
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 3: just starting to pop up a little bit, not quite
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 3: in the numbers, but just kind of in the rhetoric.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 3: And I'm hearing that from my clients as well, just
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 3: about people starting to think just a bit differently, that hey,
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 3: maybe this is going to hang around longer than we
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 3: were promised.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: Well, I suppose, since it points out the economy grew
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: to a two percent annualized rate, if the economy was
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: much hotter, like let's say it was, pick a random
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: figure five percent, doesn't the Fed intervene when the economy
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: is running too hot as well and raises interest rates
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: to deal with that.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's stepping on the brakes, right, So when the
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 3: economy is running too hot and it's triggering inflation, then
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 3: the Fed will lower rates to slow things down a bit.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 3: Because the problem there is when you get when everybody
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 3: gets this sounds wonderful, right until you really kind of
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 3: under standard the relationships between all these things. Don't we
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 3: want a raging economy. Don't we want you know, things
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 3: gowing by you know, seven, eight, ten percent, fifteen percent
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 3: or whatever. Think about the country as a matter of fact,
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 3: if you go google the term economy grew by fifteen percent,
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 3: you're gonna get some podunk country in the middle of
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 3: nowhere that's about to go through a ridiculous inflation spiral.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 3: That's why we don't want growth to be going that fast.
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 3: We simply can't keep up with it. A healthy developed
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 3: economy cannot operate that way because so think of it
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 3: this way. If you if you are at a place
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 3: where you've got a fifteen percent expansion, then you're going
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 3: to see a fifteen percent recession at some point. That's
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 3: not where we need to be, so we don't hope
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 3: for it. But yeah, that is that is what would
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 3: happen if we did have the economy running that fast.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 3: The FED would step in to slow things down before
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 3: we have runaway inflation.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 1: Well, going back to your earlier point about you know
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: things that might temporarily impact the economy, and I view
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: the straight upoor moves closure as a temporary phenomenon. How
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: long it lasts is one thing, but certainly will open ultimately.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine the globe would allow it to close permanently,
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: so that too will pass. But back to food. You know,
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: we had the egg the price of eggs going through
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: the roof, and people were screaming and yelling about that well,
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: you know when you got bird flu rolling through killing
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: off tens of millions of chickens, that is a necessary
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: consequence of that. And I use I say that just
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: because I'm wondering have we yet felt the impact? And
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: I've seen some gloom and doom articles about it, about
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: the fertilizer shortage because straight up horror moves apparently deals
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: with a whole lot of the globes fertilizer and it's
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: crop planning season if the farmers can't afford the fertilizer
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: or there's a limit unfertilizer. Are we seeing the impact
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: of that now because they have to pay more for it?
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: Or is this something we're going to see in inflationary reality
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: because the supply of food in a post in a
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: non fertilized crop is going to be a lot lower
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: down the road.
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, we are seeing this appear in food prices,
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 3: not directly, right, of course. I'm tired of hearing about eggs, right,
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 3: eggs or what they are right?
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 3: But yeah, we are seeing it a little bit, not
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 3: quite as fast as energy, of course, because energy is
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 3: the thing that gets right, gets hit right now, right away,
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 3: as soon as there's a headline at all affecting oil,
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 3: we're going to see a spike. It takes a little
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 3: longer for it to trickle through for people realize that
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 3: that does affect things like fertilizer as well. So the
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 3: reason this is because nitrogen fertilizers are made using natural gas.
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 3: So when energy prices spike, obviously that affects that trickles
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 3: through to fertilizer. The current. Of course, we have upward
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 3: pressure on that because it's the same stuff going on
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 3: in the Middle East that's also affecting natural gas markets,
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 3: so and that is a pretty quick reaction. Russia and
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 3: Belarus are major exporters of potash. We hear about that
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 3: every now and then. That's related to fertilizers. China is
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 3: involved in phosphates and they can play that game when
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 3: they need to. And we also saw fertilizer prices more
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 3: than double when the Ukraine War erupted because that that
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 3: whole region is there's a lot of fertilizer components that
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 3: come out of there. But it usually takes about a
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 3: three to nine month period before we start seeing this level.
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 3: Right they price at the pump that's tomorrow, more like
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 3: three to nine months before it trickles through, you know,
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 3: the cost of things like fertilizer showing up in the grocery.
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: I can't allow your comment, your very logical and factually
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 1: accurate comment that fertilizer comes from natural gas, go without
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: pointing out like plastics and like nine gajillion other products
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 1: that we rely on and need, you need that evil
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: fossil fuel to make it so for all those global
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: warming and climate change folks out there, Brian, these are
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: my comments, not yours. Then go ahead stop the flow
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: of all of this and have fewer crops among everything else.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 3: You know, I wish everybody could come back to the
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 3: middle just a little bit, because you're exactly right. This
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 3: isn't just about what you're putting into your car, and
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 3: you're not going to solve it by buying an EV immediately,
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 3: because there is way more than just goes what goes
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 3: into your gas tank. This is a much bigger issue there.
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 3: So it's not going to go away overnight.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Brian James will continue with Brian, so so
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: is security screwed up? He's going to elaborate on that
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: apparently cost widows and widowers in this particular case more
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: with Money Monday's Brian James stick around fifty five here
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: fifty five KERRCD Talk Station Bron Thomas wishing here moree
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: a very happy Monday and appreciating Money Monday's Brian James
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: for joining the show for a few segments talk about
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 1: these important money matters and for folks out there who
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: are widows and widowers getting social Security. Hey, look, our
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: government screwed up making calculations, Brian. I can't believe our
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 1: government would make a mistake. Go figure believable.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 3: I know, you know, you wake up sometimes you just
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 3: can't believe the headlines, and then sometimes you know, yeah,
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 3: well it's Monday.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 1: They just put a little bug in here. As you
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: start to talk about this, maybe this type of thing,
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: which you'll elaborate here in a moment, is the reason
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 1: why some people don't want the irs to do their
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: taxes for them.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 3: You know I'm gonna push back on I know you are.
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 3: That's why I know, I know you already have it.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 3: I pay taxes to send this crap to you, and
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 3: you're gonna do the math anyway. I know you're gonna
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 3: nitch te me after I return it. So you got me.
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: Started go ahead. I know that's why I did it.
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: I know how to push your button. Brian Davis, That's okay,
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: But no, we really do have a kind of a
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: it's a pretty substantial screw up for the people that
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: this would impact it. And fifty bucks basically per person.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the average happen here. Social Security basically forgot
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 3: to carry the one for a few decades and underpaid
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 3: widows and widowers by about fifty point four million dollars
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 3: total at the very least prime. We're talking millions and
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 3: not billions, So this is couch cushion change. Fortunately for
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 3: tax sures. Although everything apparently is that the root of
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 3: this is very boring. It was failure to properly apply
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 3: a complex formula called wind decks. And we are not
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 3: going into that.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: I read it, and I'm like, there's no way Bride's
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: going to explain this.
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 3: And I'm just giving this article for my name wind Decks.
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 1: That's the thing that.
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 3: Reminds me of got to clean the windows tonight. So
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 3: even more alarming, you know, fifty three hundred survivors may
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 3: have missed another one hundred and thirteen million dollars due
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 3: to bad or missing advice on win to claim. That's
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 3: another issue too, But the average missed opportunity is about
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 3: twenty one thousand per person. So of course these errors
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 3: tend to hit lower income seniors, right if these are
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 3: widows and widowers in a lot of cases, these are
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 3: the people who really this is it. There's only they
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 3: only have Social Security for that source of income. There's
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 3: a lot of people who are only in that timeframe.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 3: And this is efects claims that were processed between two
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 3: thousand and one and twenty twenty three, and it came
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 3: up the armies. We're even talking about is because there
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 3: was an Inspector General audit that was released through twenty
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 3: four and twenty five that looked at these past cases.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 3: So this went on for decades. In a lot of cases,
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 3: this happened for the entire duration of some people's benefit payments.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: Wow, I know, right, it's a substantial amount. Well, and yeah,
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm reminded. You know, going back to the
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: other article, one of the ripple effects of this inflationary
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 1: reality we're dealing with is that people are not saving
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 1: as much. And when I think about SO security, I
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: mean you emphasize as a financial plan of the importance
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: of saving. Obviously, investments help you beat inflation. If you
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 1: leave a dollar sitting on your counter, it's going to
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: be worth whatever a dollar's worth down the road if
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: you invest it, hopefully your investments return something greater than
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: the two to three four percent inflation we have to
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 1: deal with. That's a point of saving, but just the
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 1: idea that people aren't doing that, which means more and
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: more people are going to be completely reliant, like so
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 1: many of these widows and widowers completely reliant on the
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: sole Social Security payment that lands in their lap. So
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: Security's got financial problems of its own independent of these
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: independent screw ups.
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 3: Brian right, Oh yeah, and twenty two million people rely
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 3: entirely on Social Security. It's our only source of income.
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 3: So that's one in three retirees. Depending on the study
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 3: you're looking at in some census style estimates suggests that
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 3: it's closer to fourteen to twenty eight percent, depending on
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 3: how the income is measured. There, So you know, lots
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 3: of people are simply living paycheck to paycheck from the government,
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 3: though these aren't working employment paychecks. This is just here's
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 3: my Social Security check. My budget better fit into it.
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 3: And you're right, a lot of people out there, not
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 3: only the ones run on the receiving end, but there
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 3: are a lot of people out there on the path
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 3: to not having anything but social Security. And that's that's
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 3: one of the other topics we're gonna talk about today.
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 3: New opportunities to put those dollars away if they exist.
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 3: So moral of the story is this isn't much of
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 3: a moral. There's a lot of people out there who
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 3: are already stretched pretty thin. And it didn't help that
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 3: Social Security forgot to carry the one well.
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: And it doesn't help that we've been let down by
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: our political class year after year after year with this
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 1: growing phenomenon of Social Security running quote unquote running out
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 1: of money. I just I feel so let down, and
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm kind of wildly curious. And it's more and
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: more people, I imagine, are going to be reliant completely
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 1: on Social Security and this alleged promise that people have
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 1: that were made to people that they were going to
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: get something, they can't stand behind that promise anymore. What's
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 1: it going to take to fix the system? Brian James,
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: if I could ask you to sort of look into
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: the future people.
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 3: On the street. Oh and yet other outcome is there. Right,
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 3: So the reason we won't fix this is because we
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 3: do not as a society want to elect anyone who
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 3: talks to us like we're adults. We want people to
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 3: tell us they're going to give us free things. And
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 3: this is not a this is a bipartisan comment because
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 3: both sides do it. But we simply cannot afford ourselves
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 3: and the benefits packages we have put together. However, right
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 3: now as we're sitting here, there there is no there
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 3: is no social security deficit that we're heading that way.
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 3: So the gap is widening between what we need and
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 3: what we actually have every single year. The current calculations
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 3: say that there will be a problem that will it
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 3: will visibly impact benefits in around twenty thirty one thirty two. So,
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 3: as we've said a number of times, we are now
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 3: starting to elect the people who will be in office
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 3: who will vote on whatever that solution is. The next
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 3: senator we elect will have a six year term that
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 3: puts us square in the middle of that range. So
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 3: we are starting to look into the eyes and faces
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 3: of the people who have to solve this problem and
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 3: cannot kick that can.
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe we just confiscate the assets of the twelve
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 1: hundred billionaires.
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 3: Okay, that sounds very very left wing for you. Brian Thomas,
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 3: did you wake up feeling okay today?
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 8: No.
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: I just saw the rants of some communists in front
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 1: of a university the other day saying exactly that, and
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: also a politician who's threatened the life of other politicians,
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 1: and Donald Trump saying exactly that. I mean, the problem
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: is math doesn't work out for that kind of phenomena,
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: that kind of taxation strategy.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 3: You know, theyuld that wouldn't even fix the problem, that
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 3: would that would ress. But we still have an issue
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 3: going forward to these are these these items Social Secure
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 3: and Medicare are not to budget. We don't even budget
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 3: for him. It's the largest thing hanging out there, but
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 3: we just will not talk about him.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 1: Well, Brian James is going to elaborate on something that
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump's has now. It's a new retirement plan executive order.
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: Not quite sure what's in it, but apparently Brian James knows
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 1: about it. We're going to learn about that coming up next.
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 1: So I hope you stick around fifty five KRC. The
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 1: Simply Money Minute is fun. They talk station a twenty
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 1: eight to fifty five KRCD Talk Station, Very Happy Monday
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 1: to your Money. Money Brian James talk a little about
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 1: so's security in the last segment, obviously in anticipation of retirement,
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 1: which is what Money Monday's Brian James does for people,
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 1: get them ready for retirement, offers them advice and solutions
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 1: and suggestions like maybe saving some money. Now, this sounds
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: like perhaps a solution in search of a problem, because
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: anyone in America can save and open an IRA on
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: their own, right, Brian James.
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is another one of those that I don't
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 3: think has a lot of meat to it. Unfortunately, it
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 3: does have President Trump's name attached to it. And let's
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 3: be honest, of course the goal so Trump IRA dot
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 3: gov is where you can find information about this. But
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 3: all it really is is a government's sort of kind
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 3: of sponsored platform on ramp to put money into iras.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 3: And so I'm really starting there is a match, right,
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 3: Let's just start with what's different than what people can
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 3: already do. Where's the real benefit? There is a match
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 3: if you are a single filer, and you'll get a
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 3: full match up to twenty thousand dollars. Right, if your
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 3: income is up to twenty thousand dollars five hundred, then
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 3: you'll get the full match up to one thousand bucks.
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 3: Partial match that phases out up to thirty five thousand
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 3: dollars and change. That's for single filers. For married people,
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 3: it's forty one thousand and seventy one.
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold it. So
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 1: let's say I'm in the financial category where I'm going
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: to get the full match.
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 3: I put it about your rent first.
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, well of course, but ignoring that, you know,
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 1: the day to day reality of just putting any money away,
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: The United States taxpayer is going to fund the match
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 1: for people who do this. Yep, that's okay, voted for
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: k that's here, right, I'm telling people from folks, all right.
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 3: And let's let's bear in mind you can already do
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 3: an IRA. This isn't something new. You're not you're not
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 3: able to put away more money because just because of
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 3: this that these people can already do an IRA right now. Again,
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 3: the important thing here in the elephant in the room
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 3: is the is there leftover money to even do this stuff?
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 3: In the past, Brian, we have we've had things called
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 3: the savers credit there has been free money out there
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 3: if you put money, if you were below a certain
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 3: income level, and you put money into a retirement account,
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 3: then you can claim a Savers credit and really just
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 3: get dollars back on your taxes. But only about five
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 3: percent of people use it, and even less than half
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 3: of the eligible taxpayers are even aware that those types
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 3: of programs exist. So we tend to throw these out there,
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 3: make a big This happens on both sides of the aisle.
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 3: We make a big celebration out of the signing ceremony
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 3: in the Oval office, and we never talk about it again.
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 3: So basically, we can our politicians can check a box
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 3: that said, hey, we did something for low income people.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 3: But look at the Trump iras, look at the Savers credit,
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 3: look all these wonderful things that we've done that you
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 3: can't afford, but still we did them.
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I'm well. This is also isn't this
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 1: a form of a mandate that that that businesses have
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: to provide or offer at least some sort of savings
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: plan like an IRA program through the business.
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 3: Not really, this is obviously it's the opposite. This is
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 3: this is putting something in place for people who don't
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 3: have that situation. There's a lot of companies out there
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 3: that don't offer a four oh one K and are
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 3: still able to employ people. Some employees are just fine
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 3: with the idea that, you know, I've got a job,
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 3: that's all I'm worried about. No, it doesn't give me
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 3: any benefits, but it's good, honest work, and so then
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 3: they'll they'll kind of stay in that position. So this,
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 3: this does give those folks sort of a new opportunity.
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 3: They could do it anyway. I mean, it does give
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 3: them one centralized federal platform. Trump I RA dot g
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 3: o V will be up and running by twenty twenty seven.
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 3: That's one place behind. It is still the big mutual
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 3: fun companies. Vanguard is involved, you know, so you're not
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 3: really really nothing different here other than that little bit
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 3: of a match if you can afford to put that
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 3: money in the first place. But otherwise it's just supposedly
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 3: an easier path. But Brian, I suspect we won't hear
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 3: about this after it's launched, and we won't talk about
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 3: it anymore because we're just checking boxes to say we've
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 3: done things well.
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 1: It's launching to the extent it launches and it goes
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 1: along with that that government incentive the match. Isn't that
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: power of the perse stuff? Since tax dollars are going
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 1: to be spent on it, isn't this something that would
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: require legislation and not go through through an executive order
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 1: but before it required yet?
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, all that stuff, Yes, you're exactly right, But if
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 3: we're not going to market it, we're not going to
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 3: promote it. Right, how many people raise your hand out there?
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 3: If you know what the savers credit is? That's been
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 3: around absolutely forever, and five percent of the eligible taxpayers
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 3: actually use it. So again, if when where are the ads,
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 3: where are the campaigns marketing that stuff, you know, around
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 3: tax time or whatever, saying that, hey, these opportunities exist,
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 3: please go take advantage of them. I don't hear any
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 3: of that stuff, and I don't buy it's gonna happen
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 3: this time either.
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 1: I would think that just the idea that federal that
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 1: that American taxpayer dollars could be used for a program
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 1: that was not established through an active Congress signed in
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 1: law by the President, would on its face be void because.
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 3: It hasn't been a thing this entire administration.
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 1: Right, Well, I do with that I'm just pointing it out.
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 1: I've got to give me an opportunity to make comments
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 1: along those lines. Bran James. Now, but in terms of incentive,
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 1: you and you talk about it all the time, and
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 1: I think it's one of the most prudent things that
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 1: anybody can do. If you work for a company that
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 1: does offer a four to one k match, you got
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 1: to at least put in the percentage of the match.
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: I mean you're walking away from free money. I mean
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: that that that that does work for some to get
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 1: the at least start investing, doesn't it. Oh?
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, And that's one of the there are few financial
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 3: planning decisions that are clearly black and white. This is
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 3: the this is this is one of them, right, there's
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 3: not saving when you have a match is on you.
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 3: That is your fault, and you are making a stupid
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 3: decision leaving money on the table. Some people do this
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 3: because they'll say, well, I'm twenty in my twenties, I
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 3: don't want to think about what happens when I'm sixty,
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 3: because I'm young and i want to live now, and
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 3: I've got expensive bills. Well, guess what, there's a biose
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 3: bills are never going away and this is the opportunity
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 3: you have for someone to give you free money that
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 3: you can put into a savings here. You will not
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 3: have a free money opportunity when you are in your sixties,
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 3: So this is the time to do it. That's a
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 3: black and white decision.
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 1: Well, and you know lesson easily learned if you're if
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 1: you can and I can't speak to people who find
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: it impossible to put anything away, but if it's gone
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 1: out of your paycheck before it's in your pocket, it's
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: almost like you never made the money. But there it is,
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 1: earning interest and compounding over times. Let it sit there,
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 1: and it's just you know, do see if you can
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 1: tighten the belt to do without, because it's going to
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: benefit you immeasurably over the long run.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, And you're raising a fair point. Despite my
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 3: grumpy snarkness this morning because I haven't had enough coffee.
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 3: This is free money if you're in this situation, if
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 3: you if you can hit those income limitations, if you're blowing,
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 3: and you can find those dollars on top of your
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 3: other bills. And I know that's hard, and that's when
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 3: most people, Yeah, frankly, Brian aren't going to be able
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 3: to do this because because they have to live paycheck
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 3: to paycheck right now, so there just isn't money to match.
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 3: But if you're in this situation and you can pull
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 3: it off, please take advantage of it.
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 1: Wall A last, Yeah, got the Starbucks out. Although I'd
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 1: love to think that people who are that close to
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: life smart would not be indulging in things like Starbucks coffee.
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 3: I think this is targeted the people who are, you know,
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 3: indulging in Starbucks and have nothing left. But there's a
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 3: lot of people that's not going to help because that's
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 3: just that's not where where the lever.
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 1: Is valid, valid point as always, Brian James and I
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 1: love your snarkiness. That's a okay with me. Brian keeps
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 1: things lively here in the fifty five car Se Morning Show.
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 1: We'll do this again next Monday. Thanks to all Worth

  Speaker 1: fan of the situation going over Iran war and the
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 1: straight up horror moves being closed in a very negative nancy.
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 1: When it comes to the ability to get the straight
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: open back up, things a little bit more complicated as
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 1: the war continues, and there was a fourteen brand new
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 1: fourteen point plan from the Iranians. Recently made a proposal
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 1: to Donald Trump. Uh, what is it lifting these sanctions?
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 1: Lifting the blockade? I remember we have the blockade on
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 1: the Iranian ports, obviously causing a real problem for Ron's economy.
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 1: A question is who's going to last? This out price
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 1: of gasoline going to result in US pulling out of
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 1: the Middle East. Again, going back to the comments about
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 1: Chucky Schimber, what's his strategy? Yes, evil orange Man caused
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 1: the kaist of gas to go up. Yes, but you
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 1: know Smithman was talking about this. This has been an
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: ongoing issue for decades. Night seventy nine, wasn't it overthrow
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: the Shah of Iran hostage situation? They'd been a thorn
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 1: on everybody's side now since then, they won a nuclear
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 1: weapon and they won it for the purposes of eradicating
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 1: and blowing up ISRAELI say it for the record, we've
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 1: made all we tried to buy them off. Cash didn't
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 1: even work. Here's the terms of the agreement, brock Obama
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 1: sent him over a couple billion dollars in a pallet.
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 1: They get cash money, and there were supposed to stop
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 1: enriching uranium. Did they do it? No, they breached the agreement.
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 1: It's been one breach after another. They don't listen to anyone.
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 1: They do whatever the hell they want. And of course
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 1: now they're asking for the strait to be opened up
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 1: and for them to get their tolls, and for us
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 1: to declare an end to the hostilities, but not a
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 1: single word about the nuclear program, which, unless I'm wrong,
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 1: wasn't that the predicate for launching the attack on Iran anyway?
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 1: So I struggle with this. In response, Donald Trump says, well,
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 1: we're gonna start helping boats through the Strait of horn Moves,
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 1: and I kind of when I saw that, I thought
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 1: to myself, well, why haven't we been able to do
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: that before? And I think of the comments of Daniel Davis,
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: the mines, what's left of the Iran military, which is
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 1: all these little mosquito boats going around. They're capable of
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 1: blowing up giant vessels. They've been attacking a couple of
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 1: them of late. So can we or can't we? Now,
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 1: if it's been possible for us to use American military
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 1: to ferry these boats through the Strait of Horror Moves,
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 1: why haven't we been doing that all along? He asked,
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 1: without any information or knowledge as to why. So hopefully
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 1: it'll work. But of course Iran had a response to
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump's proposal to bring these neutral boats through the
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 1: Straight of Horror Moves. They said any interference in Tehran's
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 1: maritime rule in the Strait of Horror Moves, in other words,
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 1: charging tolls allowing people through, would be considered a violation
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 1: of the current senior currency's fire head of Iran's Parliament's
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 1: National Security and Foreign Policy Committee. If you tee even
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 1: track of names, that would be Ibraham Azizi. So any
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 1: American interference with the new maritime regime of the Strait
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 1: of Horror Moves, and I think that's him telegraphing that
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 1: Iran's own it and control it. And it sucks to
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 1: be you. If you want to go through it, you're
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 1: going to have to play by Iran's rules, another reason
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 1: to ensure victory against the Iranians. Does anybody think that
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 1: this isn't gonna happen again, assuming the Iranian regime remains
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: in place and is still run by the crazy just
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 1: religious fundamentals that run it, the death to Israel, death
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 1: to America types, that this isn't gonna get shut down again.
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 1: We reach some agreement allah Obama's agreement to stop the
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 1: nuclear program. The Iranians didn't bother to stick with that one.
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 1: They breached it and continue to a rich uranium. Does
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 1: anybody think that the Iranians will honor a commitment to
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 1: keep the straight of horror moves open? Uh hmm, it
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 1: was really easy to close it down. Let's tinker and
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 1: screw with the global economy again in me I see
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 1: that as a distinct possibility. Will the world be a
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 1: better place if Iran is incapable of doing it because
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 1: they no longer run that country the current regime? Huh, well,
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 1: that's a positive to down the road then. Of course,
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 1: the whole concept of an embracing peace in the Middle
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 1: East generally speaking, when the Iranians are the ones that
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 1: are sponsoring the terrorists that prevent peace from happening. I
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 1: don't know. The straight of Horrormus in the Persian Gulf
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 1: would not be managed by Trump's delusional posts. The Iranians said,
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 1: straight of hormuves in the Persian Golf are not a
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 1: place for rhetoric. He said that after Donald Trump announced
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 1: this so called Project Freedom, where the United States military
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 1: will be guiding ships safely out of the straight or
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 1: of Hormuz starting today, now, I guess I have to
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 1: go back to, well, if we can do it now,
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 1: when we know the Iranians have put all kinds of minds,
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 1: at least that's what we've been told in the strait
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 1: of horror moves, how can it be accomplished? And no
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 1: one wants one of the American warships to get blown up,
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 1: and I am very concerned that that is certainly going
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 1: to happen. Multi billion dollar aircraft carrier. Oh, we got
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 1: dolphins with limpant mines on their backs, channeling the nineteen
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 1: seventy three movie Day of the Dolphin. Yeah, that's a
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 1: thing now. So anyway, it's obviously very complicated, obviously has
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 1: a profound inflationary effect. Going back to the idea. We've
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 1: got to vote tomorrow. It's a primary election. I know
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 1: we're going headlong into November. Huge choices to be made tomorrow.
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 1: And the November election is you know, one might want
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 1: to characterize as an existential threat. Because the Democrats take over,
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 1: you know what you're going to get, and you know
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 1: they're going to be campaigning on lowering the price of gas.
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 1: Remember Donald Trump was going to stop inflation day one. Well,
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 1: we voted for him. It didn't happen. I acknowledge at
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 1: the time he made that statement, and I just did
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 1: it again this morning. Well what one man can just
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 1: stop inflation in his tracks one day? And yeah, you
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 1: want to go ahead and blame Donald Trump for the
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 1: situation that's going on with the bombing of the Iranians
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 1: and the resulting straight up horror moves closure, What are
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 1: the Democrats going to do to lower the price of gas?
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 1: Now they can complain and campaign on the price going
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 1: up and they'll be accurate on that. Yeah it did,
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 1: But what policies are they going to offer to lower it?
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 1: And I'm talking about something beyond releasing oil from the
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 1: Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Joe Biden, whose party campaign on raising
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 1: the price of gasoline. They told you they want it higher.
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 1: Are they saying they're no longer to be chasing this
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 1: dream of a carbon neutral world if they become if
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 1: they get in elected, if they take over Congress, do
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 1: you see them passing legislation to release energy to go
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 1: down this all of the above strategy. Are they going
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 1: to go back to their old playbook about oh my god,
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 1: climate change. We can't use this. I'm waiting, Chuck Humer,
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 1: what are you gonna do to stop it? Okay, the
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 1: answer has to be, doesn't it. Well, we'll just pull
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 1: the troops out of the straightup hoorm moves. We'll just
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 1: leave the area. We'll pack up our things and go home,
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 1: with the Iranians still in place, and then probably pursuing,
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 1: even at a greater accelerated rate, the building of an
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 1: atomic bomb. I don't see that as being a better
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 1: future for you and me, So don't lose sight of
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 1: the bigger picture while you're waiting for the price of
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 1: gas to go down. A forty six chime in, feel
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 1: free give me a call. Three seven four nine fifty
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 1: five eight hundred eight two three A forty nine come
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 1: up at a fifty to fifty five kerc DE Talk station. Yes,
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 1: Joe Strecker is right. Over the break. You reminded me
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 1: that primary day for Ohio and Indiana to mar get
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 1: out and vote in Kentucky. You got two more weeks
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 1: of the Thomas Massey is AOC in disguise ads. I
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 1: am so sick of those things. You know, it really
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 1: irks me about those ads and going back to well,
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 1: only politically ignorant people could fall for them. Yeah, Thomas
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 1: Messy did vote against certain things that Donald Trump's agenda wanted,
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 1: but you know what, when you pack a line item
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 1: into a thousand page plus bill, you're going to have
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 1: things well that he votes against, the bloat and the
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 1: government spending. Generally speaking, he is one person actually cares
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 1: about this hole we've dug ourselves in which literally will
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 1: end our country yet more so than the Iranians, more
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 1: so than the Chinese Communist Party. Our inability to stop
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 1: spending has dug us into a hole that we can't
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 1: climb out of. That's why Thomas Massey quite often votes
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 1: no for things that you think, well, why would he
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 1: vote no against that? Because the bill that he voted
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 1: no on was like a multi trillion dollar deficit enhancing project.
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 1: Two more weeks of that. Thank you to my Northern
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 1: Kentucky friends who regularly continue to vote Massy
