Speaker 1: Five o five.
0:08
Speaker 2: If you give out k r C the talk station
0:12
Speaker 2: happy Monday. Well, I'm the dude, man, I am Brian Thomas,
0:31
Speaker 2: not the dude, and happy Monday to you.
0:33
Speaker 1: Did you get it all out of your system? Over
0:34
Speaker 1: the weekend there they had no King's protests. Still scratching
0:37
Speaker 1: my head over what the hell that was about. I'm
0:39
Speaker 1: going to talk about that a little bit gy. A
0:40
Speaker 1: lot going on from the local stories, including police chief
0:43
Speaker 1: three CATEGI hiring an employment lawyer. Looks like some are
0:46
Speaker 1: suggesting maybe even today's our last day. And why are
0:49
Speaker 1: they terminating her for following the directives of Mayor Athtab
0:53
Speaker 1: Purple and city Manager Cheryl Lung. She did what they
0:57
Speaker 1: told them to rethunk police or rethought police and will
1:02
Speaker 1: be sacrificed for it. I drew a parallel between her
1:04
Speaker 1: and a Boxer from animal Farm Orwell's animal Farm. You
1:08
Speaker 1: know Boxer, the man or the horse behind, the loyal horse,
1:13
Speaker 1: behind the revolution, the loyal Marxists. And once he was
1:17
Speaker 1: all used up, they put him in a cart and
1:20
Speaker 1: sent him off to the glue factory. Thanks for your service.
1:23
Speaker 1: Kind of parallels could be drawn there any I'll come
1:25
Speaker 1: up with a fifty five carse Morning Street. It's going
1:27
Speaker 1: to be rather interesting morning, and I feel so sad
1:30
Speaker 1: for this woman. Ronda Win's going to join the program
1:32
Speaker 1: at seven oh five. Ronda is the mother or was
1:38
Speaker 1: rather Krishan de Sierra Winn, thirty four year old mother
1:41
Speaker 1: of five, fatally shot and over the rhine. This was
1:44
Speaker 1: back in the sixth day of August, just walking across
1:47
Speaker 1: the street on Republic Street. Described and confirmed as an
1:52
Speaker 1: innocent bystander, Krishana was shot in the back by a
1:57
Speaker 1: gunman who squeezed off fifteen to twenty rounds from a
2:00
Speaker 1: drive by passing vehicle. Ten minutes after nine in the evening.
2:05
Speaker 1: She passed away UC Medical Center. Her mother has been
2:10
Speaker 1: out there stirring the pod, demanding answers, publicly vocal about
2:14
Speaker 1: her daughter's grap a death, of course, grief, calling for
2:18
Speaker 1: action from city leaders to address the violence in the area.
2:21
Speaker 1: Get it together. She said previously. Ron is going to
2:24
Speaker 1: be on the program to you know, get that message
2:26
Speaker 1: out here at seven oh five. It's so sad. I mean,
2:31
Speaker 1: add that to the list of horrific crimes that have
2:33
Speaker 1: been in downtown Cincinnati, and I mean it's not just downtown.
2:36
Speaker 1: It's elsewhere anyway. Werono A seven o five, followed by
2:39
Speaker 1: Christopher Smithman. He'll have few comments on that, I'm sure,
2:42
Speaker 1: Christopher Smithman from her vice mayor vote smith Aman early
2:45
Speaker 1: voting going on right now. You can change the direction
2:47
Speaker 1: of the city. You happy with the way aft have
2:49
Speaker 1: pro balls running things? Are you happy with the way
2:54
Speaker 1: the current city managers running things? Imagine a downtown Cincinnati
2:59
Speaker 1: onto the management of Todd Zinzer for example. If you're
3:03
Speaker 1: not familiar with Todd's work, check out my podcast page
3:05
Speaker 1: fifty five cares dot com. We had an hour with
3:07
Speaker 1: him last week. Guy is brilliant. It is Monday after
3:11
Speaker 1: Christopher smith when we get money Monday with Brian James
3:13
Speaker 1: shut down is affecting you? Or is it it? Shutdown?
3:18
Speaker 3: With me?
3:19
Speaker 1: We'll talk about how it impacts those security bonds and
3:21
Speaker 1: four O one case. Also another topic with Brian more
3:24
Speaker 1: for oh one k's or tied to the stock market
3:27
Speaker 1: than ever before? Is that a good thing or a
3:29
Speaker 1: bad thing? And finally, Americans get a D grade when
3:33
Speaker 1: it comes to saving for retirement. Actually surprised that it's
3:35
Speaker 1: as high as a D. Patty from Hart for Seniors
3:38

3:41

4:04
Speaker 1: and they Heart for Seniors folks are absolutely fantastic at

Speaker 1: eight forty with Hard for Seniors. So I hope you
4:22
Speaker 1: can stick around for all of that, and I hope
4:24
Speaker 1: you can call. I'd love to hear from you. Five one, three, seven,
4:26
Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three
4:29
Speaker 1: talk fifty on AT and T phones. I actually drove
4:35
Speaker 1: by the No King's rally was in Loveland, and I
4:40
Speaker 1: thought it was kind of funny to hear No King's
4:41
Speaker 1: Rally in Loveland. Anyway, But if you look at the
4:43
Speaker 1: No Kings dot org website. These rallies were everywhere and
4:45
Speaker 1: they're touting this morning and a lot of swirling comments
4:50
Speaker 1: about the accuracy of this figure. Now, you know, ask
4:53
Speaker 1: the Gosins how many of the Palestinians died, and then
4:56
Speaker 1: ask the Israelis how many of the UH and by
4:58
Speaker 1: the way, the ceasefire doesn't seem to be in a
4:59
Speaker 1: fe anymore, and how many Ask the Israelis how many
5:03
Speaker 1: Palestinians died or how many Israeli forces died. You're going
5:05
Speaker 1: to get a huge difference. Ask Ukraine and then ask
5:09
Speaker 1: Russia how many people dying in the field each and
5:11
Speaker 1: every day or in the war that's going on each
5:12
Speaker 1: and every day. You get wildly wide differences in opinion, cause, well,
5:19
Speaker 1: no one really knows how many people show up to
5:21
Speaker 1: the nother Kings rally. It's one of the figures floating around,
5:23
Speaker 1: according to No Kings, right seven million, right there on
5:30
Speaker 1: the front page of This Morning. On Occover eighteenth, more
5:32
Speaker 1: than seven million of us rose up at more than
5:35
Speaker 1: twenty seven one hundred events in all fifty states, DC
5:38
Speaker 1: and cities worldwide to say America has no Kings and
5:41
Speaker 1: the power belongs to the people, all right, So they'd
5:46
Speaker 1: like you to join in their site today to have
5:47
Speaker 1: like some sort of online call to discuss in their words,
5:50
Speaker 1: what comes next. So I guess they didn't get it
5:53
Speaker 1: fully out of their system. The government's still shut down.
5:56
Speaker 1: You think the government will now reopen since they were
5:58
Speaker 1: all we presume, waiting around for at least this weekend's
6:00
Speaker 1: events and to move forward and pass it doesn't seem
6:04
Speaker 1: to be any resolution, and they're running out of time,
6:07
Speaker 1: you know, the subsidies that at the end of the year,
6:09
Speaker 1: and this extension only goes into November. Last time I check,
6:12
Speaker 1: it's already what October twenty twentieth today, TikTok, TikTok. But
6:21
Speaker 1: when I was looking at the folks that were at
6:23
Speaker 1: the No Kings again driving through lovel and there were
6:25
Speaker 1: some younger people there. But as the pictures emerged from
6:28
Speaker 1: across this great land of ours, one observation kept coming
6:31
Speaker 1: through from everyone, what's with all the old people? And
6:36
Speaker 1: since I'm the first, you see the last year the
6:39
Speaker 1: baby boom Jeneral sixty five is my year birth, and
6:42
Speaker 1: I think that's the last year they even include in
6:44
Speaker 1: baby boomers. So it's a bunch of people that are
6:46
Speaker 1: older than me, and I mean large quantities a bunch
6:51
Speaker 1: of people older than me. I guess I'm just wondering
6:57
Speaker 1: how that turned out to be. They have free time,
7:01
Speaker 1: many of them in retirement, and so I know it
7:03
Speaker 1: was on a Saturday, so it shouldn't have an impact
7:05
Speaker 1: with people who were employed. And there's a lot of
7:08
Speaker 1: discussions out there these multi billionaires and all the money
7:11
Speaker 1: that flowed into organizing this no King's rally and actually
7:17
Speaker 1: paying people to show up. It's grassroots if people voluntarily
7:25
Speaker 1: go to it and attend it. And I guess the
7:28
Speaker 1: broader thing I want to know is what was all
7:31
Speaker 1: this anger about? Is this was just really purely an
7:34
Speaker 1: anti Donald Trump rally. And I know that's the quote
7:38
Speaker 1: unquote king that they're referring to, but he's not a king,
7:42
Speaker 1: is he. I think it was kind of funny. House
7:50
Speaker 1: speaker Mike Johnson at a really great way pointing out
7:52
Speaker 1: the collection of folks that I listened were part of it.
7:54
Speaker 1: He was talking about Antifa. You have all of these
7:57
Speaker 1: Tides Foundation, all these other multi billionaire funded organizations to
8:01
Speaker 1: throw money into this thing. So you're out there screaming
8:04
Speaker 1: about oligarchs and billionaires, and yet you're there because the
8:08
Speaker 1: very oligarchs and billionaires you're screaming about are the ones
8:10
Speaker 1: that prompted you and organize this so we would show
8:12
Speaker 1: up for it. Okay, make some sense out of that
8:14
Speaker 1: for me, would you please? I don't get it anyway,
8:18
Speaker 1: jarn say, if President Trump was a king, the government
8:21
Speaker 1: would be open right now. If President Trump was a king,
8:24
Speaker 1: they would not have been able to engage in the
8:27
Speaker 1: free speech exercise on the Mall, which was open because
8:31
Speaker 1: President Trump hasn't closed it. Remember, we're in a shutdown,
8:35
Speaker 1: Johnson pointed out in the last shut down twenty thirteen,
8:37
Speaker 1: President Obama closed the National Mall, the National Parks didn't
8:41
Speaker 1: allow people to engage in all of this. They needed
8:43
Speaker 1: a stunt, they needed a show. It's a valid point. Now,
8:49
Speaker 1: you and I can disagree or agree, as the case maybe,
8:52
Speaker 1: on whether or not Donald Trump has the executive branch
8:54
Speaker 1: authority to do some of the things he's doing. One
8:56
Speaker 1: of the things I'm outspoken on in that regard is
8:58
Speaker 1: I don't believe he is the has the right ability,
9:00
Speaker 1: legal or otherwise, without Congressional approval to start blowing up
9:04
Speaker 1: boats in the Caribbean right off coast Venezuela happened again
9:08
Speaker 1: over the weekend. He blew up a submarine. This time.
9:11
Speaker 1: Senator Ran Paul declared out loud in a statement he
9:15
Speaker 1: was on a news program not legal. So I disagree
9:19
Speaker 1: with on that unilateral waging of war. But in so
9:24
Speaker 1: far as everything else is concerned, we do have a
9:26
Speaker 1: constitution that's still in place, and it's the checks and
9:28
Speaker 1: balances we need in a republic, which is what we've
9:31
Speaker 1: got here. It hasn't gone away. So, you know, evil
9:35
Speaker 1: orange man Trump arrangement syndrome all on full display. But really,
9:40
Speaker 1: if you ask him what they want, what are you
9:41
Speaker 1: looking for other than Trump just resigning and walking away.
9:46
Speaker 1: I'm really left completely puzzled by it, most notably amid
9:49
Speaker 1: not just the age of the people there, but the
9:52
Speaker 1: way everyone was well, honestly, not everyone, how they were dressed.
10:01
Speaker 1: It looked like a carnival sideshow. It looked like a
10:06
Speaker 1: comic con event. It's like some sort of furry convention.
10:11
Speaker 1: Now that's okay, you do what you want, man, You know,
10:13
Speaker 1: the little libertarian Brian Thomas, I don't care how you
10:16
Speaker 1: dress up, but I just scratching my head over the
10:18
Speaker 1: mixed bag of fruits and nuts. They're all standing around
10:21
Speaker 1: screaming about no Kings and whatever. All right, so you
10:25
Speaker 1: hung out together for a few hours on a Saturday
10:27
Speaker 1: and you all went home. Some people online, man, I know,
10:33
Speaker 1: I get it observing the sort of mass exodus. It's
10:37
Speaker 1: like people leaving a ballgame after the ninth inning's over.
10:40
Speaker 1: They just sort of leave at the same time. A
10:42
Speaker 1: lot of people just sort of departing the premises at
10:44
Speaker 1: the same time, some speculating that that's when the clock
10:47
Speaker 1: ran out on their well hourly rate, that they were
10:49
Speaker 1: being paid to be there in the first instance. So
10:53
Speaker 1: what is next? No Kings join us October twenty first
10:57
Speaker 1: at eight pm to talk about what comes next. Maybe
11:00
Speaker 1: one of my listeners are going to register to join
11:02
Speaker 1: that call. Steve's on the phone, speaking of calls. I'm
11:05
Speaker 1: looking forward to talking with you, Steve. You don't mind
11:07
Speaker 1: holding for a moment. Other calls are all welcome this
11:09
Speaker 1: morning five on three, seven, four, nine, fifty five, eight
11:12
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two to three talk pound five fifty
11:13
Speaker 1: on ET and T phones. I'll be right back fifty
11:16
Speaker 1: five KRC waking up this morning to realize the Internet
11:19
Speaker 1: has crashed or something. First indications Joe tried to set
11:25
Speaker 1: up a video link between he uses a regular site
11:29
Speaker 1: that did not work, so he's incapable of getting that.
11:32
Speaker 1: Amazon Web Services apparently has an outage causing widespread internet
11:36
Speaker 1: disruptions this morning. I had a listener just let me
11:39
Speaker 1: know that the streaming audio is not working from the
11:41
Speaker 1: iHeart media app although for some reason the commercials are
11:43
Speaker 1: coming in. Joe's going to see if you can confirm
11:46
Speaker 1: that's the case or not. Regardless, it's out of our hands.
11:48
Speaker 1: And apparently apparently nothing's going on over at my sister's
11:53
Speaker 1: station next door at seven hundred. Anyway, it's what Steve's
11:56
Speaker 1: gott Steve, thanks so much for holding over the break.
11:57
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show.
12:00
Speaker 4: Good morning. I kind of took my thunder with all
12:02
Speaker 4: the correct information you gave about the constitutional Republic seventeen
12:07
Speaker 4: seventy six and not having a king. This is a
12:10
Speaker 4: failed attempt by the public education system once again not
12:12
Speaker 4: telling people what the past history was, and they're ignorant
12:16
Speaker 4: because they him been educated. Is that the way? And
12:18
Speaker 4: then they get educated and they're not ignorant anymore.
12:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, I suppose yeah, yes, Orwellian ring about it. The
12:27
Speaker 1: Ministry of truth is, you know, we need to do.
12:31
Speaker 4: Some about these judges. My idea is, I mean they
12:35
Speaker 4: poppy won't because they're all in cahoots. Is your third
12:38
Speaker 4: strike as a judge, the third person that you let
12:40
Speaker 4: go without well, you know, being convicted and punished. The
12:46
Speaker 4: judge has to the third time the person commits a crime,
12:50
Speaker 4: the judge has to fulfill the maximum sentence on the
12:53
Speaker 4: people they let go. I think, I mean, that's the
12:56
Speaker 4: only thing we can do besides them Obviously they wanted
12:59
Speaker 4: popularity come test. They are not good people of judgment.
13:02
Speaker 4: Therefore they cannot do their job. So this should be
13:05
Speaker 4: put in jail and have to finish the sentence of
13:07
Speaker 4: the people they let go.
13:09
Speaker 1: I personally am going to disagree with you on that.
13:11
Speaker 1: I think it's up to the people to wake up
13:13
Speaker 1: and vote in better judges. If you're unhappy with the
13:14
Speaker 1: way the judges are operating and you know, maybe not
13:18
Speaker 1: being harsh enough on crime, you want tough on crime judges.
13:20
Speaker 1: Elect one his idea that you're going to hold a
13:23
Speaker 1: judge personally accountable for the activities and criminal behavior of
13:27
Speaker 1: someone over whom they have no longer any control. I
13:30
Speaker 1: think that seems kind of a bit from my perspective,
13:32
Speaker 1: not plausible or reasonable.
13:35
Speaker 4: But you said elect people election, but people elect idiots.
13:38
Speaker 1: So that's how our right exactly steve. And you continue
13:42
Speaker 1: to elect idiots, your society will fall apart, and then
13:45
Speaker 1: you'll have no one to believe it yourself. That's the
13:47
Speaker 1: beauty of being in a republic. And we vote the
13:49
Speaker 1: people in or not. We're not told who gets elected.
13:52
Speaker 1: We get the freedom at choose. Sadly, only twenty five
13:55
Speaker 1: percent of the city's population is going to even bother
13:57
Speaker 1: showing up on November to vote. Sadly, are the number
14:00
Speaker 1: of people that control the destiny of our future in
14:02
Speaker 1: this country is limited only a small percentage compared to
14:05
Speaker 1: the general population that's old enough to vote, registered to vote,
14:08
Speaker 1: even show up to bother to do it. We have
14:10
Speaker 1: no one to blame but ourselves.
14:13
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, it's you've got to remember the prosecutors
14:16
Speaker 4: aren't even bringing chargements to people. And if they do,
14:18
Speaker 4: then the judges.
14:19
Speaker 1: Who elected County Pillow, I mean, who voted for contacts.
14:22
Speaker 1: That's right, I know, Well, that's the thing. They pay people.
14:25
Speaker 4: They they do what's illegal. They pay them to show
14:27
Speaker 4: up to vote. They propagame die them. These are ignorant
14:31
Speaker 4: people that never made it through college or school. And
14:33
Speaker 4: I mean, you know the school.
14:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't have we don't have an education test
14:37
Speaker 1: to vote. I'm not I'm not disagreeing with the fundamental points,
14:40
Speaker 1: but I mean you can't. You can't start holding the
14:42
Speaker 1: elected official personally accountable for something over which over whom
14:46
Speaker 1: they have no control. I mean, you know they do.
14:48
Speaker 4: They have total control of the judges.
14:50
Speaker 1: I mean, they have total In your scenario, Steve, they've
14:53
Speaker 1: passed sentence, even if it's a light one, they have
14:55
Speaker 1: passed sentence. You're yeilty, here's your here's your penalty. Six
14:59
Speaker 1: months of pro bation or whatever, cases closed.
15:02
Speaker 4: That's not that's not a punishment.
15:07
Speaker 1: That's I mean, wait a minute. Regularly, you're during your
15:10
Speaker 1: gentleman conclusions, you don't even know the hypothetical case that
15:13
Speaker 1: I just mentioned. You don't even know what the what
15:14
Speaker 1: the defendant did. Maybe they stole a county bar. They're
15:17
Speaker 1: on probation for six months. That seems reasonable, you know, I.
15:20
Speaker 4: Mean, look what California did, three strikes in arount with California,
15:23
Speaker 4: and everybody agreed to that.
15:25
Speaker 1: I believe. Wasn't that found on constitutional? That concept finally
15:29
Speaker 1: finally yeah.
15:30
Speaker 4: Okay, but in the meantime a lot of people suffered.
15:32
Speaker 4: So if it's constitutional, I mean, would that be something
15:35
Speaker 4: the state of state votes.
15:37
Speaker 1: For or federal depends on whether it's state or federal law. Play.
15:41
Speaker 1: We have control over criminal laws in the state, but
15:43
Speaker 1: we don't have control over the federal laws. That's the
15:45
Speaker 1: federal government that you're Congress and you're right, completely different set.
15:49
Speaker 4: So how about if they do considered a lawyer, do
15:52
Speaker 4: they have.
15:52
Speaker 1: A law degree? Yeah, they're also judges. You have to
15:55
Speaker 1: be a lawyer to be a judge, if I recall correctly,
15:59
Speaker 1: So that.
15:59
Speaker 4: Can they get the law? I agree, we vote for having.
16:01
Speaker 1: Mission loney if you can show a breach of the
16:03
Speaker 1: judicial canons or the canons of ethics, and then they
16:06
Speaker 1: would be gone before the Supreme Court where they would
16:09
Speaker 1: have a hearing and there would be representation and the
16:11
Speaker 1: lawyer where or the judge of the lawyer would get
16:13
Speaker 1: a counsel. They would make their argument, and then the
16:16
Speaker 1: Supreme Court would decide what disciplinary a measure to levey
16:19
Speaker 1: down upon them or disciplinary punishment to levy upon them
16:22
Speaker 1: based upon the circumstances. But what you're talking about here,
16:24
Speaker 1: I don't in spite of the fact that I am
16:26
Speaker 1: disappointed as I can be with some of the judges,
16:29
Speaker 1: and they're being so light on criminal behavior, especially recidi
16:32
Speaker 1: of as criminals. You know, I wish it were not so,
16:35
Speaker 1: But that does not translate into a violation of the
16:37
Speaker 1: judicial canons of ethics. They are vested. These judges are
16:41
Speaker 1: with a tremendous amount of discretion. They have a ton
16:45
Speaker 1: of discretion. You want to hang them high judge, Vote
16:48
Speaker 1: for a hang of I judge. You want someone who's
16:50
Speaker 1: soft on crime because you believe, well you know, we
16:52
Speaker 1: can't hold these people accountable. You don't have any understanding
16:55
Speaker 1: of how bad they had it over their lives, and
16:57
Speaker 1: to punish them because they grew up an impoverish circumsis
17:00
Speaker 1: dances and turned to a life of crime, you just
17:02
Speaker 1: ignores the reality the social element on this. They have
17:05
Speaker 1: no control over their own lives. Vote for a judge
17:08
Speaker 1: that's really led on crime because we don't want to
17:10
Speaker 1: hold an individual accountable for the behavior. This is the
17:12
Speaker 1: argument that's made. Apparently that's a winning political argument in
17:15
Speaker 1: dark blue cities like the city of Cincinnati. Now, look
17:18
Speaker 1: what happens you vote down that path. Look what happened
17:21
Speaker 1: at Portland. Look what happened in San Francisco. Look what
17:23
Speaker 1: happened in California. Generally, you pursue that path to your detriment,
17:27
Speaker 1: and after a while people start seeing, jeez, little wheeze,
17:30
Speaker 1: these people have been in front of a judge like
17:32
Speaker 1: nineteen times. They've all on all kinds of things. How
17:34
Speaker 1: come they're back out on the streets. How come all
17:36
Speaker 1: these businesses have closed? How come the city's economy has trashed?
17:40
Speaker 1: Why has everyone packed up and left?
17:42
Speaker 5: Hmm?
17:43
Speaker 1: Maybe it's our fault for voting in idiots who pursue
17:46
Speaker 1: these policies and lo and behold, what do you see.
17:49
Speaker 1: They're turning around. They're getting rid of the policies that
17:52
Speaker 1: led to all this chaos and this decline in living
17:56
Speaker 1: conditions and brought and riaked taboc on their city's Wow,
18:01
Speaker 1: I guess that social experiment didn't work. Let's choose a
18:05
Speaker 1: different path. Never too late, learn from your mistakes five
18:10
Speaker 1: twenty six. Right now, if you have KCD talk station.
18:12
Speaker 1: Jeff your next Patrick as well. Stick around, got more
18:15
Speaker 1: calls coming up. Welcome to the Morning Show, larn Brian.
18:20
Speaker 4: We were up at the No Kings protest in Mason.
18:24
Speaker 6: Kind of interesting.
18:27
Speaker 1: And what were your observations? And I guess first off,
18:30
Speaker 1: what was your motivation for going? Just curiosity? Were you
18:33
Speaker 1: protesting No Kings or just sort of counter protesting Trump?
18:39
Speaker 6: Trump fans?
18:40
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're just there checking it out and seeing
18:42
Speaker 1: what it was all about, yes, sir, And.
18:45
Speaker 4: We noticed quite a few gender confused protesters. Would their
18:50
Speaker 4: rainbow flex?
18:52
Speaker 1: Sure, I would expect that probably some pro Palestinian or
18:56
Speaker 1: pro Hamas folks in the mix as well, if you
18:58
Speaker 1: can find those in Mason. Of course, Democrats, sociality say what.
19:05
Speaker 4: I wouldn't surprise.
19:06
Speaker 1: Us, right, it's a loose knit collective of angry people.
19:11
Speaker 1: So basically, you know, it's a questionnaire, are you really angry?
19:14
Speaker 1: Are you pissed off at the current administration? If your
19:16
Speaker 1: answer is yes, it doesn't matter for what reason. Just
19:19
Speaker 1: show up at the No King's rally and scream and
19:22
Speaker 1: yell and make sure you dress like a furry or.
19:24
Speaker 6: Something, show up at the polls, and you get one vote.
19:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get to vote, which means we have no kings, right, Jeff,
19:35
Speaker 1: One one vote, one vote. Emphasize that we can only
19:40
Speaker 1: dream of the day where you only get one vote
19:42
Speaker 1: and there's no gross no running amuck collecting ballots and
19:46
Speaker 1: stuffing ballot boxes with other people's ballots. Who's next? It is,
19:49
Speaker 1: Patrick Patrick? Welcome to the Morning Show, Tom, hang on,
19:51
Speaker 1: you're after Patrick.
19:53
Speaker 7: Hey, good morning, Brian. I just had some Monday humor
19:56
Speaker 7: about this whole note kings thing. First of all, Yeah,
19:59
Speaker 7: the no King's test brought to you by individuals that
20:02
Speaker 7: can't identify what a woman is, but by God, they
20:04
Speaker 7: have clairvoyance to know what a king is. And secondly,
20:09
Speaker 7: I think that the Trojan would be a great sponsor
20:12
Speaker 7: for this because they're advertising slogan could be see what
20:15
Speaker 7: you wind up with when you don't wear protection.
20:17
Speaker 6: So have a good day, Brant.
20:19
Speaker 1: I liked that proud sponsor of the new King's Rally. Tom,
20:26
Speaker 1: Welcome Morning show, Happy Monday to you.
20:29
Speaker 8: Good morning, Thank you Patrick for a little levity that
20:32

20:44
Speaker 8: about the whole note kings thing and what it's all about.
20:47
Speaker 8: And I'll keep you short this morning. I actually got.
20:54
Speaker 1: Tom, and Tom apparently you dropped out, so you said
20:59
Speaker 1: you'll keep it short this morning, and then I heard nothing.
21:01
Speaker 1: So you're gonna have to restate the point you were making.
21:03
Speaker 8: Oh well, I just I was saying that. I h
21:07
Speaker 8: I drove by one of those rallies on Saturday on
21:10
Speaker 8: my way home from work, and uh and uh on
21:13
Speaker 8: Hamilton Avenue, right between north Side and College Hill, and uh, yeah, loose,
21:18
Speaker 8: like you said, a loose collection, and and uh I
21:21
Speaker 8: rolled the window down and and uh, of course I
21:25
Speaker 8: hollered at him. Don't vote Democrat. Have a great day, Brian.
21:28
Speaker 1: Good for you, Tom as I was driving through the
21:31
Speaker 1: one in front of the the middle school in Loveland,
21:34
Speaker 1: cross the street from the Strip Mall. You know where
21:37
Speaker 1: it is. Anyhow, I was driving buy them away from
21:39
Speaker 1: doing an air and and all the signs, and you,
21:42
Speaker 1: if you are a responsible driver, don't don't try to
21:49
Speaker 1: read the signs. I mean, some of them are very
21:51
Speaker 1: easy to read, but some of them, you know, with
21:53
Speaker 1: single line magic marker and they got nine thousand words
21:57
Speaker 1: on a sign. You're supposed to, you know, absorb the
21:59
Speaker 1: information on an you go buy at twenty five miles
22:01
Speaker 1: an hour. It is ain't gonna happen. But they're all
22:04
Speaker 1: asking you to honk if you want no Kings, or
22:07
Speaker 1: honk if you hate Trump or whatever. And as I
22:11
Speaker 1: was cruising down the very beginning of the role of
22:14
Speaker 1: No King's protesters, there's this sign honk if you support
22:18
Speaker 1: Trump or something along those lines.
22:20
Speaker 6: See.
22:20
Speaker 1: I can't even remember specifically what the sign said, but
22:22
Speaker 1: it was clearly not the message that the No Kings
22:25
Speaker 1: folks who're looking up for a honk for. So I
22:27
Speaker 1: just beat my horn. No one knows for whom my
22:32
Speaker 1: horn was beaped, but there you go. Oh my god, victory,
22:35

Speaker 1: Because I'm just wondering how this is gonna work and
25:39
Speaker 1: really find it rather weird. Charman Yes, the toilet tissue
25:45
Speaker 1: manufacturer introducing what it calls the forever roll. Not something
25:52
Speaker 1: you get at a sushi restaurant. The Forever role described
25:56
Speaker 1: as a seventeen hundred sheet roll of paper which is
26:01
Speaker 1: meant to last up to a month. WHOA, that's a
26:04
Speaker 1: lot of feces. That is a month in a two
26:06
Speaker 1: person household. Roll reportedly thirty two times larger than a
26:12
Speaker 1: standard role making it impossible to put on your standard
26:17
Speaker 1: toilet paper roleholder? What it is available online ins and
26:21
Speaker 1: in stores including Walmart, Target, and Amazon. I I just
26:27
Speaker 1: said he would check Amazon, but he can't because Amazon
26:29
Speaker 1: crashed this morning. I hope you're able to stream the media.
26:32
Speaker 1: Joe Strecker checked the iheartmediapp on his cell phone and
26:35
Speaker 1: it's working. So one of the listeners said it was
26:38
Speaker 1: not working. I'm I don't know basically what the state
26:41
Speaker 1: of the internet is this morning, but what the hell
26:43
Speaker 1: is this I'm reading from the CNN reporting on this
26:50
Speaker 1: Sharman toilet paper massive role the company. This is a quote.
26:54
Speaker 1: The company is even offering a thirty day money back guarantee.
27:02
Speaker 1: That's a challenge, Joe. What's being guaranteed here? The length
27:06
Speaker 1: of time the role will work? What toilet paper tissue
27:09
Speaker 1: do you have to return? If you're going to seek
27:11
Speaker 1: the money back guaranteed, you have to return the used
27:13
Speaker 1: or just the balance of what's left on the role
27:15
Speaker 1: and what will be your predicate. I'm just not gonna
27:20
Speaker 1: be able to find out the answers to those questions,
27:22
Speaker 1: and quite candidly, it's in the stack of stupid. I
27:23
Speaker 1: really don't care. Ah, let us see an article that
27:27
Speaker 1: might be talked about by Tech Friday's Dave hatter Man
27:30
Speaker 1: in Florida claimed to be Elon Musk still nearly six
27:35
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars from a woman. Authority say Jeffrey moynihan
27:38
Speaker 1: pleaded no contest to charges against him, getting one year
27:40
Speaker 1: behind bars and thirty years of probation. Investigators say moynihan
27:44
Speaker 1: impersonated Elon Musk and befriend of the seventy four year
27:47
Speaker 1: old woman from Texas. This's happened on Facebook, exchanging messages
27:50
Speaker 1: for months. Prosecutors say he scammed her out of the
27:53
Speaker 1: six hundred grand, promising to pay her fifty six million
27:57
Speaker 1: dollars in return.
28:01
Speaker 4: HM.
28:02
Speaker 1: The police have get dedicated an elder fraud unit in
28:05
Speaker 1: response to these types of crimes. Gotta be careful out there,
28:09
Speaker 1: my senior.
28:09
Speaker 9: Friends, EERI is the biggest douche of the universe, in
28:15
Speaker 9: all the galaxies, there's no bigger douche than you. You've
28:21
Speaker 9: reached the top the pinnacle of duche them good going due.
28:27
Speaker 1: Your dreams have come true? All right?
28:34
Speaker 3: Uh?
28:35
Speaker 1: Do you believe in fortune tellers? Yeah? I know you
28:38
Speaker 1: shouldn't itched to me, No, they're fraudsters. Two people arrested
28:43
Speaker 1: in Montgomery County and this is in Pennsylvania for running
28:46
Speaker 1: a fortune telling scheme defrauding victims out of again six
28:50
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars fifty two ro Old Gina Marks of
28:53
Speaker 1: Huntingdon Valley and Steve Nicholas forty facing multiple fellty charges.
28:59
Speaker 1: Investigators say they operated in a business called Jenkintown Psychic Visions,
29:05
Speaker 1: where they convinced victims that they were cursed. Court of
29:11
Speaker 1: montgomer County District Attorney's Office. First victim contacted the business
29:15
Speaker 1: for a psychic phone reading, told she was plagued by
29:18
Speaker 1: a powerful curse that would destroy her marriage, business, and
29:21
Speaker 1: family unless, of course, it was removed. Apparently, over the
29:26
Speaker 1: course of eleven months between September of twenty two and
29:28
Speaker 1: August twenty three, Marx and Nicholas allegedly demanded large sums
29:32
Speaker 1: of money and luxury items to cleanse the curse that
29:36
Speaker 1: included jewelry, cash, clothing, concert tickets, and gift cards. All right,
29:40
Speaker 1: you're being duped and you think you have a curse
29:42
Speaker 1: because these idiots told you do. Why would you think
29:44
Speaker 1: that giving them jewels and cash and clothing and of
29:48
Speaker 1: all things, concert tickets. Maybe even an Apple card would
29:52
Speaker 1: cure your curse. I feel so sorry for people who
29:59
Speaker 1: are this dim that they would believe in this kind
30:02
Speaker 1: of nonsense. Victim handed over personal belongings for rituals, which
30:07
Speaker 1: investigators say never returned. Oh well, it disappeared. The spirits
30:11
Speaker 1: took it. I guess. Another victim came forward during the investigation,
30:16
Speaker 1: detective to say Marx instructed the victim to provide personal
30:19
Speaker 1: photos and details that made increasingly unorthodox requests, including a
30:24
Speaker 1: Chanel purse and additional money red flag much. Marx allegedly
30:31
Speaker 1: threatened the victim with reputational damage if her instructions were
30:34
Speaker 1: not followed. Second victim lost eighteen thousand dollars. Financial records
30:41
Speaker 1: from cash app, zill and Credit Union confirmed the funds
30:44
Speaker 1: from both victims were transferred into accounts belonging to these
30:47
Speaker 1: Two fraudsters arrested, charged with corrupt organizations, dealing in the
30:52
Speaker 1: proceeds of unlawful activities, theft by unlockab, unlawful taking, and
30:57
Speaker 1: multiple other offenses that they roasted on top of that
31:01
Speaker 1: five point forty six right now, if you five k
31:02
Speaker 1: see he talks well to stay on the internet and
31:05
Speaker 1: to stream, and Jos Stregger just told me Channel five
31:08
Speaker 1: is not working today. Apparently they have a connection with
31:11
Speaker 1: Amazon and the internet outage. So struggling along we are.
31:15
Speaker 1: And my guest for seven oh five, Rona Win tragedy. Tragedy.
31:18
Speaker 1: Her daughter got killed and over the Rhine random drive
31:21
Speaker 1: by shooting. She was a total innocent victim and mother
31:23
Speaker 1: of five. Ronda's got a sick child. She's taken care
31:27
Speaker 1: of in Joe and I's surmise that it's so one
31:31
Speaker 1: of her daughter's children that she left. So sad. Anyway, Ronda,
31:36
Speaker 1: hope that everything works out for you. We'll have you
31:37
Speaker 1: back on the program hopefully sometime real soon. Let's get
31:40
Speaker 1: he to Corey and see what he's got. Corey, thanks
31:42
Speaker 1: for holding. Welcome to the show.
31:45
Speaker 10: Hey morning, Bryan. Yeah, the Internet. I had to uninstall
31:49
Speaker 10: my iHeart and app and reassault and then worked after
31:51
Speaker 10: I did. I'm listening from in the end of this morning.
31:55
Speaker 1: Appreciate that.
31:57
Speaker 10: I just wanted to call the whole note kings enough
32:01
Speaker 10: the people doing that or some of the I will
32:03
Speaker 10: call the dumbest people on our society, and this no
32:08
Speaker 10: other excuse for him. I spend my saturday with other things.
32:11
Speaker 10: Probably had a day off on the weekend not doing anything,
32:14
Speaker 10: so I chose to watch college football and indulges some
32:17
Speaker 10: golf beverages instead of partaking and.
32:22
Speaker 3: No kame.
32:23
Speaker 10: But anyway, that's really all I have. May just want
32:26
Speaker 10: to say, don't vote, write it, don't vote diffrogress.
32:29
Speaker 1: There you go, Corey, appreciate it, and I guess I
32:32
Speaker 1: can observe since just watching football and sucking down cold ones, really,
32:35
Speaker 1: I mean, doesn't accomplish anything but to provide you with
32:38
Speaker 1: relaxation and entertainment on a beautiful saturday. You probably accomplished
32:44
Speaker 1: about as much as they did, but you had a
32:45
Speaker 1: hell of a lot better time doing it. Just didn't.
32:49
Speaker 1: All those old people have grand short they could have
32:51
Speaker 1: been spending time with. I just I don't know who
32:55
Speaker 1: am I to make decisions like that on behalf of people.
32:59
Speaker 1: I can just judge them right in my own subjective way.
33:04
Speaker 1: Content of character judged by people's actions and what they
33:07
Speaker 1: do and how they speak, what they say, how they dress. Yeah,
33:11
Speaker 1: there's that, back to the stack of stupid. Alternatively, phone
33:14
Speaker 1: calls are always welcome here in the Fify five KC
33:15
Speaker 1: Morning Show. Got a routine go to Davenport, Florida. I
33:18
Speaker 1: gotta have a Florida story in the Stacker Stupid Routines.
33:21
Speaker 1: He amen routine Sunday at Davenport McDonald's apparently escalated into
33:26
Speaker 1: a dangerous situation involving a firearm after an argument about
33:30
Speaker 1: a food order. Of course, Paul kind Of Sheriff Grady
33:35
Speaker 1: Judge said the incident started when the restaurant started getting
33:38
Speaker 1: slammed with orders, ended up with three arrests, one injury,
33:42
Speaker 1: and the folks involved being charged. According to the sheriff,
33:45
Speaker 1: they threatened to attack a man who said, we're busy,
33:48
Speaker 1: we can't take any more orders, and he did that
33:51
Speaker 1: because the manager told him to. It started as the
33:55
Speaker 1: disagreement drive through turned into a face to face violent act.
33:59
Speaker 1: Sheriff's that he said the men involved reportedly came into
34:02
Speaker 1: the restaurant and threatened them with violence. One of them
34:04
Speaker 1: mentioned quote, I got a switch. I got a thirty clip. Now,
34:13
Speaker 1: that for folks in the know, means he was probably
34:16
Speaker 1: carrying a glock with a thirty round magazine and has
34:19
Speaker 1: a glock switch, which means he converted into fully automatic,
34:22
Speaker 1: which means that firearm is illegal. The manager attempted to intervene,
34:26
Speaker 1: but the situation escalated. According to investigators, Guy aimed his firearm.
34:31
Speaker 1: Jo Juan Soto pulled the gun out, aimed it at
34:34
Speaker 1: the two men who threatened him, ultimately firing and striking
34:37
Speaker 1: one of them. Identified mister Peter's story shot him in
34:40
Speaker 1: the neck, although it was described as a minor injury.
34:43
Speaker 1: After that shot, So did not remain at the restaurant. Apparently,
34:46
Speaker 1: according to the deputy, he grabbed his gun, the casing
34:49
Speaker 1: and projectile on the floor and ran because he's scared.
34:52
Speaker 1: We at least he had the fourth site that trapped
34:55
Speaker 1: the spent casing fingerprints. Anyway, that shot, Soda fled the scene,
35:01
Speaker 1: taking his gun in a shellcasing. Sheriff's office later charged
35:04
Speaker 1: him with tampering with evidence and removing the shellcasing. The
35:07
Speaker 1: two men involved, Nicholas Jones Peter Storry, charged with trespass
35:11
Speaker 1: after warning and disorderly conduct. Both bonded out over an
35:18
Speaker 1: order five five fifty five KERR CD talk station. What sayee, Jim,

35:48
Speaker 1: understand Ron to win. He lost her daughter in a
35:50
Speaker 1: random gun fire, shooting it over the Rhine earlier this summer.
35:53
Speaker 1: It's got a sick one she's got to take care of.

36:38
Speaker 1: Side Jim Kiefer for holding over the break. Welcome back, Good.
36:42
Speaker 11: Morning, Brian Thomas. Channel nine finally covered this story that
36:47
Speaker 11: I'm going to talk about yesterday. It's the only station
36:50
Speaker 11: I saw cover at so far, which one with random
36:54
Speaker 11: shooting with Corey Bowman's his church took a potshot. I
37:01
Speaker 11: think they're trying to send them message that they're not
37:04
Speaker 11: particularly happy with him running for mayor against pervol So
37:09
Speaker 11: they found a bullet hole through one of the glass
37:12
Speaker 11: panels at his church. I think that's pretty stupid, pretty
37:16
Speaker 11: low there, buddy.
37:17
Speaker 1: Yes it is, and uh, you know, I was pleased
37:20
Speaker 1: to see that. I guess Fox nineteen at least carried
37:23
Speaker 1: the article this morning, a slightly update from the article
37:25
Speaker 1: they released yesterday. But Corey did issue his statement on
37:30
Speaker 1: Saturday about this bullet hole that he found. And also
37:32
Speaker 1: remember Signal ninety nine and again props the signal ninety nine.
37:36
Speaker 1: Whoever you happen to be, I think either the current
37:37
Speaker 1: or former police officer. She has got the inside scoop
37:41
Speaker 1: on literally everything. It's pretty mind blowing. And she had
37:44
Speaker 1: commented she had commented about people that she's following online
37:47
Speaker 1: who had engaged in doxing of Corey Bowman, and they
37:52
Speaker 1: told us they announced his address as a church's address,
37:55
Speaker 1: obviously with a suggestion that someone should do something about
37:58
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman as if he represents some sort of threat
38:01
Speaker 1: to the city. The only person who represents a threat
38:03
Speaker 1: to is the current administration, which is failing miserably.
38:08
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's pretty pathetic though, And I mean, you can
38:11
Speaker 11: go down, let's just say, you can throw an orange
38:14
Speaker 11: or throw a can of paint or something like this.
38:16
Speaker 11: But when you're talking about even though maybe it was
38:19
Speaker 11: after hours, you never know if there's a custodian in there,
38:22
Speaker 11: right or something like that. To take a pot shot
38:25
Speaker 11: and do something like.
38:27
Speaker 4: That, it's pathetic.
38:28
Speaker 11: But of course, if this person would ever brag about it,
38:32
Speaker 11: get caught and get in front of a liberal judge,
38:34
Speaker 11: they're just going to probably put it off as a prank.
38:36
Speaker 1: A prank yeah, and they probably have.
38:39
Speaker 3: That's tongue in cheek on that one.
38:41
Speaker 1: Several priors for having firearms under disability most likely. I mean,
38:46
Speaker 1: anybody who's willing to do this is probably not lawfully
38:48
Speaker 1: carrying a firearm in the first place. That's ignorant.
38:51
Speaker 11: I mean, it's totally ignorant.
38:53
Speaker 4: I just thought i'd.
38:56
Speaker 11: I got up late this morning, so I didn't hear
38:57
Speaker 11: you talking about it yet, so I thought I.
38:59
Speaker 1: Didn't bring it up. I was kind of holding off
39:01
Speaker 1: to the six o'clock hour because I figured these local
39:04
Speaker 1: issu would be a nice segue to Christopher Smithman smither
39:06
Speaker 1: Bend at seven twenty.
39:08
Speaker 4: So yeah, maybe maybe he'll talk about it.
39:10
Speaker 11: I wonder if anything like that's happened to him when
39:12
Speaker 11: he was running.
39:13
Speaker 1: No kidding, you know, something tells me no, Something tells
39:16
Speaker 1: me no. But it's a good question to ask Christopher
39:18
Speaker 1: real quick here which no King's rally? Did you attend
39:21
Speaker 1: west Side, Jim Kiefer.
39:24
Speaker 11: I actually flew to DC and was front and the
39:27
Speaker 11: line holding the banner with the helmet on and the
39:29
Speaker 11: a magophone.
39:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was there.
39:31
Speaker 1: Brian. Well, you're in the right either. You're in the
39:33
Speaker 1: right age group for the vast majority of people who
39:34
Speaker 1: showed up.
39:35
Speaker 4: So just ask.
39:36
Speaker 11: That's real nice, that's real nice. Yeah, I wouldn't talk
39:40
Speaker 11: somebody else had just hit that six.
39:42
Speaker 4: I know.
39:43
Speaker 1: I brought that up this morning. I said, I'm you know,
39:46
Speaker 1: the last year if they even count nineteen sixty five
39:49
Speaker 1: as part of the baby boomers, it's the last year
39:51
Speaker 1: that they're counted in. Yes, I know that. I would
39:54
Speaker 1: have not looked out of place at a No King's rally.
39:57
Speaker 1: I drove past one, but I didn't participate because again,
40:01
Speaker 1: what question mark? What did they accomplish?
40:05
Speaker 6: I have absolutely no idea.
40:07
Speaker 11: But they did get they did get media out of it,
40:09
Speaker 11: you know, and oh yeah, if you want to, but
40:11
Speaker 11: they so they accomplished that, I guess. But other than that,
40:16
Speaker 11: I have no idea. I mean, I guess there's are
40:18
Speaker 11: a waste of time for a day to let them
40:20
Speaker 11: do what they want to do. It doesn't mean anything.
40:22
Speaker 1: At least it gets you out in the open air. Well,
40:24
Speaker 1: maybe they're going to talk about what comes next today,
40:26
Speaker 1: And I've been pointing out that no Kings dot org
40:28
Speaker 1: is the place to go if you're interested in this
40:30
Speaker 1: kind of crap, join us today. At APM to talk
40:32
Speaker 1: about what comes next. I don't know that they even
40:34
Speaker 1: know what comes next, Jim. I just hope that the
40:37
Speaker 1: billion this effort apparently a lot of fount to Christ
40:40
Speaker 1: they realized they were basically criticizing the Organivan. But I
40:43
Speaker 1: really kind of hope they keep spending millions and millions
40:47
Speaker 1: and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of dollars
40:49
Speaker 1: at efforts lives because if they get no retriatment, then
40:53
Speaker 1: they just with all their money. So that doesn't I.
40:55
Speaker 3: Don't know what they're investing in.
40:56
Speaker 11: I don't know unless they're signs. I guess their signs
41:01
Speaker 11: are maybe sending the TIFA in or whatever they're doing.
41:05
Speaker 11: Of course, everybody's going to point back to sorrows and
41:08
Speaker 11: in that little group, But I guess we'll see. But
41:12
Speaker 11: you think Trump really sat back and worried about these people,
41:15
Speaker 11: I sincerely doubt it.
41:17
Speaker 3: No.
41:18
Speaker 1: And if you believe the seven million figure, considering there's
41:20
Speaker 1: three hundred and forty or fifty million people in the
41:23
Speaker 1: United States, it only represents a small tiny sliver of
41:26
Speaker 1: humanity here.
41:27
Speaker 11: So and that spread across the whole nation, across.
41:30
Speaker 1: The entire nation. Amen, Brother, correct. Good to hear from you, Jaks, Bryan,
41:34
Speaker 1: stay well, keep fighting that answer, Pete, thank you for
41:37
Speaker 1: calling this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show.
41:40
Speaker 4: Good morning, Brian, thanks for taking my call.
41:42
Speaker 12: Hey, I saw where they found a sniper nest in
41:46
Speaker 12: line a side of Air Force one.
41:49
Speaker 1: Well, there's maybe a deer stand. A couple of reports
41:52
Speaker 1: I read they say they believe it has been there
41:55
Speaker 1: for several months, so it could have been a hunter
41:57
Speaker 1: that put that up. Of course that I'm glad they
41:59
Speaker 1: found it, and of course it could be connected with
42:01
Speaker 1: an attack on Donald Trump. But as of right now,
42:04
Speaker 1: the investigation is still going on. And I did read
42:06
Speaker 1: that suggestion. Whether it's true or not, we're all going
42:08
Speaker 1: to find out down the road I spoke.
42:11
Speaker 3: I want to why they didn't just stake it out
42:13
Speaker 3: instead of announcing it to see who showed up.
42:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be a good idea, That's what I would Pete.
42:21
Speaker 1: Maybe you should be a member of law member of
42:23
Speaker 1: law enforcement. No no, no, no no, don't say anything
42:25
Speaker 1: to the public about it. Put a camera on it.
42:29
Speaker 3: There you go.
42:30
Speaker 1: Thanks Pete, appreciate it. Man, have a good day. Seven
42:34
Speaker 1: four fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight two three
42:36
Speaker 1: Talk or go with pound five fifty on AT and
42:38
Speaker 1: T Funds. Now, that's wily reported this morning and over
42:40
Speaker 1: the weekend. The police chief Dji, who's struggling with her
42:43
Speaker 1: relationship with They have to have purvol and city Manager
42:46
Speaker 1: Cheryl Long, the two people that hired her. She may
42:53
Speaker 1: be out of a job, and some respeculator that maybe
42:55
Speaker 1: as early as today. So she's lawyered up. She has
42:58
Speaker 1: attorney Steve m now representing her and what I guess
43:02
Speaker 1: she anticipates will be an employment related dispute. See Steve
43:05
Speaker 1: m one of the attorneys get a load of this
43:07
Speaker 1: representing former CINCINNTI fire chief Michael Washington in his wrongful
43:11
Speaker 1: determination lawsuit against the city and the city manager Jarrel Long.
43:18
Speaker 1: So she's facing her legal struggles, and by all accounts,
43:21
Speaker 1: since former since Ana fire chief Michael Washington has an
43:23
Speaker 1: outstanding case for wrongful termination, some are saying that he
43:28
Speaker 1: should return his chief of the fire department. Anyway, apparently
43:32
Speaker 1: got a good legal team. So, uh, we don't know
43:39
Speaker 1: what's going to happen to Dji, but she's of course
43:43
Speaker 1: one of the focuses of this attack on crime and
43:47
Speaker 1: policing in downtown the city is The residents at least
43:50
Speaker 1: are upset. They say they've perceived crime to be rising.
43:53
Speaker 1: They know crime is rising in certain neighborhoods. Some are
43:55
Speaker 1: accusing the police department and maybe this is the administration
43:58
Speaker 1: of fudging the day to make crime look lower than
44:01
Speaker 1: it actually is. There's some evidence of that, but the
44:04
Speaker 1: perception that we've got some serious violence going on and
44:07
Speaker 1: the police department is understaffed and they haven't allocated resources properly.
44:10
Speaker 1: They've funneled resources over to people who aren't even capable
44:14
Speaker 1: of issuing citations or stopping crime. These community activist types
44:18
Speaker 1: that are out and about. Some of that money could
44:20
Speaker 1: be going to the police department to hire more police officers.
44:23
Speaker 1: We all know the old argument. But what did Police
44:25
Speaker 1: Chief Diji do? Did she go her own way do
44:28
Speaker 1: what she wanted with resources for law enforcement or did
44:31
Speaker 1: she follow the instructions of Aftab, Parl Ball and Cheryl
44:34
Speaker 1: Long Again, her employers, the folks that hired her and
44:38
Speaker 1: have the ability to fire her. If you're in that position,
44:41
Speaker 1: do you do what they tell you to do in
44:43
Speaker 1: terms of police force operations and law enforcement measures? Or
44:48
Speaker 1: do you do what you've been trained to do. She's
44:49
Speaker 1: got decades of experience in law enforcement. Shouldn't she know
44:52
Speaker 1: where the allocation and resources should go. I don't know
44:56
Speaker 1: she was able to chime in on that, but apparently
44:58
Speaker 1: she followed what they wanted and now, well, it looks
45:01
Speaker 1: like she's got a target on her back from the
45:03
Speaker 1: very people who hired her. After a Purvole trying to
45:07
Speaker 1: blame others for perhaps his own policies. He was one
45:11
Speaker 1: of those rethink the police kind of guys. He campaigned
45:15
Speaker 1: on defunding the police, going back over to Signal ninety
45:18
Speaker 1: nine's observation. He politicized the apartment, stripped officers discretion, micromanaged enflorcement,
45:23
Speaker 1: lied about crime stats, claiming Cincinnati was safer than ever
45:25
Speaker 1: while shooting stabbings in homicide Skyrocket, denied the gang crisis
45:29
Speaker 1: that has neighborhoods terrified and officers overrun. Tried to replace
45:33
Speaker 1: trained police officers with community responders who can't arrest anyone,
45:37
Speaker 1: can pursuse suspects, and certainly can't protect you. Well, that's
45:40
Speaker 1: her summary. She sounds about right, and who's going to
45:45
Speaker 1: be blamed for the failure of those particular policies. Apparently
45:51
Speaker 1: Police Chief Fiji. I think she probably knows where the
45:54
Speaker 1: bodies are buried and skeletons are some are call I
46:00
Speaker 1: know Todd Zenzer is saying, do not enter into a
46:03
Speaker 1: non disclosure agreement if you're signing a settlement, retain the
46:10
Speaker 1: right to speak to the public about what's going on
46:13
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. Six seventeen right now fifty five K
46:17
Speaker 1: see the talk station right know, six twenty one, Happy
46:22
Speaker 1: Monday to you feel free to coffee LIKEE five on
46:25
Speaker 1: three seven eight hundred eighty two to three talk of
46:28
Speaker 1: both con five fifty one eight two and two phones. Yeah,
46:31
Speaker 1: I keep giving credit to the signal ninety nine for
46:33
Speaker 1: having her her finger on the pulse of you know.
46:35
Speaker 1: Background information has yet to be reported in local news
46:38
Speaker 1: motive we apparently Connie Billets over the Hamilton County Prosecutors
46:42
Speaker 1: always file fired at two long term career prosecutors, apparently
46:49
Speaker 1: for political reasons. So that's one thing that has not
46:52
Speaker 1: been reported locally. Thankfully, local news finally reported on the
46:55
Speaker 1: bullet hole that was found in Corey Bowman's church, which
46:58
Speaker 1: she had reported on as well. And here's the other
47:01
Speaker 1: thing on police Chief Thiji and what her future is.
47:03
Speaker 1: Some suggesting that maybe as early as today that they
47:05
Speaker 1: let her go. We'll see. But here's a rumor that
47:09
Speaker 1: apparently is swirling according to Signal ninety nine. If you're
47:11
Speaker 1: out there, good morning, rereck follow her on Facebook. Meanwhile,
47:15
Speaker 1: at the Sheriff's office, whispers are growing louder. Sheriff Charmaine
47:19
Speaker 1: McGuffey thinks she's next in line to be the chief
47:22
Speaker 1: of the Cincinni Police Department. Okay, you decide whether that's
47:28
Speaker 1: going to solve anything. How things going to the sheriff's department.
47:35
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Okay, maybe you know a sheriff. They'll tell
47:38
Speaker 1: you exactly how things are going. And over to Corey Bowman.
47:41
Speaker 1: Here's his statement, Corey Bowman dot com consider him from
47:46
Speaker 1: mayor Early voting is open. You might want to consider
47:48
Speaker 1: him if you want to go a different direction. I
47:49
Speaker 1: know I've been saying that a lot lately. I'm running
47:51
Speaker 1: out a number of weeks to do that, anyway, he says.
47:53
Speaker 1: On Saturday, October eighteenth, twenty twenty five, during our preparation
47:56
Speaker 1: for service of our church five oh three Clark Street,
48:00
Speaker 1: we discovered a bullet hole that had penetrated an exterior
48:02
Speaker 1: window at the Clark Street side of the building. An
48:04
Speaker 1: official report been filed with the Sin Saint Police Department,
48:07
Speaker 1: who had been very helpful. As the building was unoccupied
48:11
Speaker 1: during the incident. It's been classified as property damage. It
48:16
Speaker 1: is worth noting that over the past week, there have
48:18
Speaker 1: been several negative social media posts, specifically regarding my family
48:23
Speaker 1: or my family's personal residents and the church's address posts
48:26
Speaker 1: that are made due to the nature of our current
48:29
Speaker 1: mayoral campaign. Throughout this campaign, we've encountered negativity, unfortunately, including
48:35
Speaker 1: threatening messages directed at our church, businesses, and family. Despite
48:41
Speaker 1: these challenges, we've adopted and made decisions to continually prioritize
48:45
Speaker 1: the safety and security of my family and those around us.
48:48
Speaker 1: This Sunday, that will be yesterday, I'll be attending a
48:50
Speaker 1: previously scheduled apployment in another local Cincinnati church. Will not
48:53
Speaker 1: be present for our morning service. However, our associate Pastor
48:56
Speaker 1: Bobby Simms and my wife, Pastor Jordan, will deliver powerful
48:59
Speaker 1: men messages of faith said. I want to assure our
49:02
Speaker 1: congregation anyone planning to attend tomorrow's main service, we will
49:06
Speaker 1: have the proper security measures and personnel in place. Safety
49:09
Speaker 1: of families and individuals at our church has always been
49:11
Speaker 1: and will continue to be a top priority. We will
49:15
Speaker 1: not be intimidated or deterred by any obstacles. Our life's
49:18
Speaker 1: work is to positively impact the people of Cincinnati, and
49:21
Speaker 1: that commitment remains unwavering. We love you and look forward
49:25
Speaker 1: to seeing you at the River Church and Cincinnati attendam
49:27
Speaker 1: for the main service. By all accounts, I guess it
49:30
Speaker 1: went okay. But as it was previously pointed out, Corey
49:35
Speaker 1: has been getting death threats and the day before the
49:38
Speaker 1: building was shot, his church was shot. There were several
49:41
Speaker 1: people on Facebook Signal ninety nine identified him by name
49:44
Speaker 1: Anthony or Amy toaf and someone named big keV. She
49:48
Speaker 1: said they have been docksing Corey Bowman online. I don't
49:56
Speaker 1: know how you can justify it. The man is a
49:59
Speaker 1: virtuous man. Listen to what he says. He's not divisive,
50:04
Speaker 1: he's not angry. I mean, he certainly is not engaging
50:06
Speaker 1: in the same type in the activities and the evil
50:11
Speaker 1: that are coming from what I would argue, I suppose
50:13
Speaker 1: is the AFT tab Parvall side of the campaign. I'm
50:15
Speaker 1: not suggesting for a moment aftabs out there telling people
50:18
Speaker 1: to doc's Corey Bowman. But in these times, obviously the
50:23
Speaker 1: internet provides an easy vehicle to do just this. You
50:27
Speaker 1: don't believe in a change in downtown Cincinny. Perhaps you're
50:30
Speaker 1: part of one of these radical left wing organizations who
50:32
Speaker 1: appreciates the decline of civilization. Then you get online you
50:36
Speaker 1: do things like this. Certainly doesn't make it right. Local
50:40
Speaker 1: stories or phone calls. Either way you want to go,
50:42
Speaker 1: be back after a brief word here from my friends

Speaker 1: at six thirty fifty five KRC de Talks Station fifty
50:47
Speaker 1: five KRC Dot comedy podcast When you can't listen Live.

Speaker 1: Christopher Smithman coming up at seven twenty money Money with
50:52
Speaker 1: Brian James, and we'll hear from Patty Hertford Seniors just

51:08
Speaker 1: you need to reach out to. They are there for you.
51:12
Speaker 1: Let us see here over the local stories. Suspect from
51:16
Speaker 1: Monday night's double shooting a Fountain Square turned to self
51:18
Speaker 1: into police yesterday evening hmmm, let's see Fox nineteen reporting
51:26
Speaker 1: they're outside since I Police Departments District one headquarters when
51:28
Speaker 1: led shooting suspect Shaqielle Ferguson and his attorney, Clyde Bennett
51:33
Speaker 1: showed up to surrender. Ferguson's attorney said his client did
51:37
Speaker 1: nothing wrong, claiming it's a right. It's a case of
51:39
Speaker 1: self defense, Bennett by Bennett in Ohio, you have the
51:42
Speaker 1: right to defend yourself. So I think there's some other
51:45
Speaker 1: videos out there that will show that the individuals in
51:47
Speaker 1: that restaurant were actually armed and pointing a gun at well.
51:51
Speaker 1: His client. Then, it says the only reason one video
51:54
Speaker 1: has been released because the political climate in the city and,
51:57
Speaker 1: in his words, the agendas of certain individuals. He says,
52:03
Speaker 1: this is a random act of a person defending themselves.
52:06
Speaker 1: Bennet says the twenty four year old is being charged
52:08
Speaker 1: with filonius assault for the shooting. We'll have to wait
52:13
Speaker 1: and see what happens. Everybody gets his day in court.
52:16
Speaker 1: Two people arrested Saturday night after police received the report
52:18
Speaker 1: of a shot fired into the air that led to
52:21
Speaker 1: a police pursuit. In Newport. Police arrested Devanta Pettis, who's eighteen,
52:27
Speaker 1: and James Fields, who's twenty, both from Cincinnati and connects
52:30
Speaker 1: with the Incident's officer said he's got a report of
52:32
Speaker 1: a gun shot in the air and the one hundred
52:34
Speaker 1: block of East third Street near the levee. Pilumber investigation
52:37
Speaker 1: showed the shot fired into the air was likely to
52:39
Speaker 1: cause public alarm. There's one thing police said. There are
52:42
Speaker 1: no reports of injuries or property damage, though officers said
52:46
Speaker 1: they saw black Ford Fusion attempting to flee the area,
52:49
Speaker 1: but because of heavy traffic, the suspect hit three cars
52:53
Speaker 1: stopped at a traffic signal, vehicle occupied by four men,
52:57
Speaker 1: police said, all of whom exited the car and ran
52:59
Speaker 1: on foot. Officers only able to arrest two of the
53:02
Speaker 1: individuals who fled into the Levy garage. Pattison Fields being
53:06
Speaker 1: held with the Campbell County Detention Center facing charges of
53:09
Speaker 1: conspiracy to receive stolen property, possession of a stolen handgun
53:12
Speaker 1: in fleeing innovating police in the third degree. Police also
53:16
Speaker 1: recovered to forty caliber shell casing, as well as a firearm.
53:19
Speaker 1: Officer state the car was confirmed stolen from Covington. Ten
53:26
Speaker 1: people hospitalized, including one person now in critical condition. This
53:29
Speaker 1: after a balcony collapsed on Frida Friday night near a
53:33
Speaker 1: The University of Cincinnati Fire department set an eight by
53:36
Speaker 1: twelve foot porch and an apartment complex on Stetson Street
53:40
Speaker 1: collapsed twenty feet to the ground below too many people
53:43
Speaker 1: on it. Of those injured, fire departments said one is
53:46
Speaker 1: in critical condition, the rest of non life threatening injuries.
53:50
Speaker 1: Police said that seven of the victims were taken to
53:52
Speaker 1: UC Medical Center and two people went to Good Samaritan Hospital,
53:55
Speaker 1: one to christ Fire department said other victims may have
53:59
Speaker 1: self transport to the hospitals. They called it a very
54:01
Speaker 1: chaotic scene. Early on in the incident, spokesperson for the
54:05
Speaker 1: university sent a statement saying, well, we're working to identify
54:08
Speaker 1: and provide support to all students directly affected by last
54:10
Speaker 1: night's event. It's your generic university issued statement, probably applue
54:14
Speaker 1: by the legal department. Anyhow, they are continuing to investigate.
54:19
Speaker 1: The fire department is no concern for other units in
54:22
Speaker 1: the apartment complex right now. And finally we go to
54:32
Speaker 1: the gunman who's been charged with killing a man what
54:34
Speaker 1: police call a drive by shooting. The gunman happened to
54:37
Speaker 1: be wearing an ankle monitor in connection with a prior
54:40
Speaker 1: gun charge at the time he shot his firearm. Fifty
54:44
Speaker 1: year old Robert Shaw Westwood charged with murder after police
54:46
Speaker 1: say he's shot a thirty four year old named Justin
54:49
Speaker 1: Johnson near the three hundred block of Sycamore Street two
54:51
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning August seventeenth, at the time wearing
54:54
Speaker 1: an ankle monitor in connection with outstanding charges of carrying
54:58
Speaker 1: a concealed weapon illegally poss sing your gun according to
55:01
Speaker 1: court records, how many times you're going to have to
55:03
Speaker 1: go back to the well on this. I guess now
55:05
Speaker 1: that he's committed murder, this may be the final straw
55:07
Speaker 1: that broke the camel's back. I'm not blaming Hamilton County
55:10
Speaker 1: common Please Judge dinkle Locker, who released him in June
55:13
Speaker 1: for the earlier gun charges, a twenty thousand dollars bond
55:16
Speaker 1: with electronic monitoring. The judge approved adjusting Shaws monitoring to
55:21
Speaker 1: allow for him to seek employment while the case was ongoing.
55:26
Speaker 1: But this was two o'clock in the morning on October seventeenth.
55:30
Speaker 1: I doubt he was out seeking employment. He's gotten multiple
55:34
Speaker 1: weapons charges over multiple years housing the Mankle monitors working
55:40
Speaker 1: for you, six thirty five fifty five car Seedy talk
55:43
Speaker 1: Station coming up on six forty fifty five carosit the
55:50
Speaker 1: talk Station. Looking forward to Christopher Smithman joining the program
55:54
Speaker 1: at seven to twenty every Monday for the smither Man.
55:56
Speaker 1: I hope you can look forward to that and hope
55:57
Speaker 1: you can stick around for it. Remember when you can't
55:59
Speaker 1: go to fifty five cares and well you can stream
56:02
Speaker 1: the audio right from fifty five care sea dot com.
56:03
Speaker 1: It wasn't I guess it was kind of sporadically working
56:06
Speaker 1: this morning, Passion nationwide, we were having some internet struggles
56:09
Speaker 1: as a consequence of Amazon. So hopefully all that's been
56:12
Speaker 1: resolved by now. I know our streaming service is back
56:14
Speaker 1: up at least by several listeners accounts, so that's working.
56:18
Speaker 1: And Joe Strecker finally got the zoom feed to work
56:22
Speaker 1: so I can actually see him now. So problems this
56:24
Speaker 1: morning kind of a weird Monday for everybody here. Uh,
56:28
Speaker 1: let us see, I'm gonna pivot over to this one
56:30
Speaker 1: because I'm a huge fan of Congressman Thomas Massey. Listeners
56:33
Speaker 1: know that had him on the program regularly. He is
56:35
Speaker 1: a constitutional purist. He knows what the highest law of
56:39
Speaker 1: the land says, and he sticks to it. You know how,
56:41
Speaker 1: He's going to vote on any piece of given legislation
56:43
Speaker 1: based upon what the Constitution says. President Trump, however, not
56:47
Speaker 1: pleased with Congressman Massy, and he's previously gone on attack
56:50
Speaker 1: against Congressman Massy. I think it was earlier in June
56:54
Speaker 1: he woned a lengthy tirade and said he was going
56:59
Speaker 1: to back a challenger in the twenty twenty sixth primary,
57:05
Speaker 1: creating days later, at least three billionaires created what is
57:10
Speaker 1: called the Maga Kentucky Pack for the purpose of throwing
57:13
Speaker 1: out Thomas Massey. They're the ones behind that negative ad
57:16
Speaker 1: campaign referring to Congressman Massy as I guess a rhino
57:19
Speaker 1: or something. And that's what Donald Trump was doing on Friday.
57:24
Speaker 1: So do I always agree with Donald Trump. No, Here's
57:28
Speaker 1: what he had to say on Friday. Third rate Congressman
57:32
Speaker 1: Thomas Massey a weak and pathetic rhino from the Great
57:38
Speaker 1: Commonwealth of Kentucky, a place I love and one big
57:41
Speaker 1: six times must be thrown out of office. Asaph Trump
57:50
Speaker 1: apparently now supporting failed state level X candidate Ed gowering.
58:00
Speaker 1: I hope Ed gets into the race against Massey. Unlike
58:02
Speaker 1: lightweight Massey, a totally ineffective loser who has failed us
58:07
Speaker 1: so badly, captain Ed Galleryin is a winner who will
58:11
Speaker 1: not let you down should he decide to challenge Massey.
58:14
Speaker 1: Captain Ed Gallerin has my complete and total endorsement. Run
58:18
Speaker 1: Ed run close quote hmm. So we started out with
58:25
Speaker 1: this Kentucky Kentucky, this Maga Kentucky pack, and they had
58:28
Speaker 1: a combined two million dollar contribution from some multi multi
58:32
Speaker 1: millionaire folks Miriam Addison, Paul Singer, and John Paulson three.
58:38
Speaker 1: Those three and Congressman Massey has been on this program
58:42
Speaker 1: to mention them by name as well, and as it observed,
58:47
Speaker 1: got a real problem with this Gallerying guy, apparently a
58:49
Speaker 1: former Navy seal, and salute him to a service for
58:51
Speaker 1: our country. Political career consists only of a single primary
58:54
Speaker 1: loss on a state Senate race level. Massey response had
59:03
Speaker 1: this to say, after having been rejected in every elected
59:07
Speaker 1: official in the fourth district, Trump's consultants clearly pushed the
59:11
Speaker 1: panic button with the choice of a failed candidate, an
59:14
Speaker 1: establishment hack. Ed Gallering Ed been begging them to pick
59:19
Speaker 1: him for over three months now. Now. It's kind of
59:24
Speaker 1: interesting because as soon as they launched this anti Thomas
59:27
Speaker 1: Massey pack, these multi multi millionaires or billionaires as the
59:30
Speaker 1: case may be, people came out swinging and supported Congressman
59:34
Speaker 1: Thomas Massey by well donating to his campaign. The anti
59:39
Speaker 1: Massy pack spurred followers to write checks to Congressman Massy.
59:44
Speaker 1: He had his best ever fundraising quarter ever between July
59:48
Speaker 1: and September. He racked in north of three quarters of
59:52
Speaker 1: a million dollars over the weekend. His campaign well highlighted
59:58
Speaker 1: an interesting problem that Allery and apparently has well looky
1:00:05
Speaker 1: here they wrote, the hack Trump just endorsed to run
1:00:08
Speaker 1: against me is a Lindsey Graham donor. Of course, that
1:00:13
Speaker 1: goes back to the reference of Donald Trump calling Congressome
1:00:16
Speaker 1: Massey a rhino. Does anybody in my listening audience truly
1:00:19
Speaker 1: categorize Congressom Massy as a rhino? I would hope not.
1:00:23
Speaker 1: He opposed the two trillion dollars COVID nineteen relief package
1:00:26
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty. That's the subject matter of this well,
1:00:30
Speaker 1: the supplements that are expiring at the end of the year,
1:00:33
Speaker 1: because that's what the Democrats wrote in there. He voted
1:00:35
Speaker 1: against the Big Beautiful Bill because he was going to
1:00:37
Speaker 1: increase borrowing four point one trillion dollars. That's a principled vote.
1:00:40
Speaker 1: I know we get some benefits from the Big Beautiful
1:00:42
Speaker 1: Bill that it does increase the spending. He introduced legislation
1:00:46
Speaker 1: to in the US involvement in Israeli's war in Iran.
1:00:50
Speaker 1: And he's also I think this is probably critical of
1:00:53
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's criticism of Congress from Massy, that pesky discharge
1:00:56
Speaker 1: petition that he's behind. Oh that's right. There are the
1:00:59
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein documents that were promised for well years ahead
1:01:03
Speaker 1: of the election of Donald Trump, and now we can't
1:01:05
Speaker 1: have them. Nothing to see here, Relax, draw your own conclusions.
1:01:15
Speaker 1: But I'm sticking with Congressman Mascy, and I know my
1:01:17
Speaker 1: dear friends in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, i'd like to
1:01:19
Speaker 1: suspect also are quite happy with their choice. Six forty five.
1:01:23
Speaker 1: Right now, Bobby's in the line, Bobby, I'll hang on, brother.
1:01:26
Speaker 1: I'll take your call in a second. Here, folks, you
1:01:27
Speaker 1: can feel free to call as well. That action. It's
1:01:35
Speaker 1: six fifty here if if you have care, see de
1:01:37
Speaker 1: talk station. I hope you're having a happy Monday, be
1:01:39
Speaker 1: some Monday anyway. You enjoy your new King's Rally. What
1:01:42
Speaker 1: do you feel you accomplished? And what's with all the jeriatricks?
1:01:48
Speaker 1: The one theme that that's come clearer the new Kings rallies.
1:01:51
Speaker 1: There's a lot of old people out there that are
1:01:53
Speaker 1: sort of angry about something or they were receiving a paycheck.
1:01:56
Speaker 1: Either way, it doesn't matter to me, but predominantly boomers. Anyhow,
1:02:01
Speaker 1: let's find out what Bobby did. It is No King's
1:02:03
Speaker 1: probably over the weekend. Bobby, welcome back, my friend. Which
1:02:05
Speaker 1: no King's Rally? Did you attend?
1:02:09
Speaker 3: No?
1:02:09
Speaker 6: Sure, they didn't come down my street this weekend. I
1:02:11
Speaker 6: don't know where they.
1:02:12
Speaker 3: Were at it.
1:02:13
Speaker 1: Well, you would have fit right in. I know how
1:02:14
Speaker 1: old you are. We've met before, we've launched before. You
1:02:18
Speaker 1: may fall into the category of a Grantifa, which was
1:02:22
Speaker 1: the grandparents version of Antifa that showed up over the weekend.
1:02:28
Speaker 6: There's an awful lot of peak haired women out there.
1:02:30
Speaker 1: I know they Yeah, no question about it. Do you
1:02:34
Speaker 1: figure out what they were fighting about? Do you know
1:02:36
Speaker 1: why they were there?
1:02:38
Speaker 6: No, they have no reason to be fighting. They just
1:02:40
Speaker 6: want to be out there and be seen and heard.
1:02:43
Speaker 6: And you know, it was a beautiful day for him,
1:02:46
Speaker 6: so you know they're gone.
1:02:47
Speaker 1: Well they are gone. That's why I'm sort of scratching
1:02:50
Speaker 1: my head wondering what they felt they accomplished on Saturday.
1:02:53
Speaker 1: Anyhow would you call for today, Bobby? I't mean to
1:02:55
Speaker 1: interject my thoughts and comments over the reason you called,
1:02:58
Speaker 1: so let's hear it.
1:02:59
Speaker 6: Well, it has to do with the stat between Congress
1:03:04
Speaker 6: and Nasse and the President. I thought Trump was a
1:03:07
Speaker 6: deal maker. If we're going to do something to try
1:03:11
Speaker 6: to move forward, let's put the money in the effort
1:03:15
Speaker 6: to get honest Greg out of the first congressional district.
1:03:20
Speaker 6: Let's put our efforts toward things like that.
1:03:22
Speaker 1: You know what, You make a good point, Bobby, I
1:03:25
Speaker 1: just recind of remember David Hogg, the guy that took
1:03:27
Speaker 1: over the Democratic Party and immediately promised to allocate and
1:03:30
Speaker 1: fund I think it was twenty million dollars of money
1:03:34
Speaker 1: to run against Democrat primary candidates like that they aren't
1:03:41
Speaker 1: left wing enough to meet David Hogg's personal litmus tests,
1:03:44
Speaker 1: that he would use Democratic Party money to fight them
1:03:47
Speaker 1: in primary. This is kind of what Donald Trump is doing,
1:03:50
Speaker 1: allocating valuable resources to fight against a guy who I
1:03:53
Speaker 1: think my friends in Kentucky really appreciate and continue to
1:03:56
Speaker 1: bring back to office time and time again. I mean,
1:03:58
Speaker 1: how many times has MASSI been I'm married unsuccessfully.
1:04:03
Speaker 6: They wanted him in his district district. We need to
1:04:06
Speaker 6: get these Democrats individuals, and that's what's next to their name,
1:04:10
Speaker 6: a big D. You can call them, socialist, Marxist, whatever
1:04:14
Speaker 6: their beliefs are and their ideologies. Get them out. If
1:04:18
Speaker 6: we can't get a Republican to run against them, get
1:04:21
Speaker 6: somebody in primary them out that we can work with.
1:04:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, we need Yeah, money where it goes. We are responsible.
1:04:30
Speaker 1: Going back to a call this morning, guy was having
1:04:32
Speaker 1: to go at judges, and I'm disappointed with the judiciary
1:04:34
Speaker 1: or the bench right now, most notably in the Hamilton County.
1:04:37
Speaker 1: Their soft on crime, a lot of woke judges out
1:04:39
Speaker 1: in the world, and he wanted to hold them accountable
1:04:40
Speaker 1: by requiring the judges to somehow serve some sort of
1:04:44
Speaker 1: prison term for someone that they treated light handedly. And
1:04:46
Speaker 1: I thought of a bunch of reasons why that wouldn't
1:04:49
Speaker 1: work out, but and ultimately I said, you and I
1:04:52
Speaker 1: are responsible. I mean, if we vote in liberal judges,
1:04:55
Speaker 1: we fail to pay attention or we don't go up
1:04:57
Speaker 1: and show up and vote, that's the fault of the electorate.
1:04:59
Speaker 1: That that is not the fault of the liberal judge.
1:05:01
Speaker 1: They've got so much discretion sitting on the bench that
1:05:04
Speaker 1: they can be light on crime. Many of them are
1:05:08
Speaker 1: woke ideologically. They don't want they don't think that the
1:05:11
Speaker 1: prosecuting people to the full extent of the law is
1:05:13
Speaker 1: the right thing to do. Why well, because of some
1:05:15
Speaker 1: social issue out in the world, this bent world that
1:05:18
Speaker 1: we live in, brought about by this injustice and inequality
1:05:21
Speaker 1: and racism or whatever that's to blame for an individual's
1:05:25
Speaker 1: choice to commit a crime. So they don't want to
1:05:27
Speaker 1: hold that individual responsible for the bad things that befell
1:05:30
Speaker 1: them throughout life, even though none of us have gone
1:05:33
Speaker 1: through life without bad things befollowing us from time to time.
1:05:36
Speaker 1: That's the basis for the well their mentality with regard
1:05:39
Speaker 1: to criminal justice system. Now, should they be held accountable
1:05:42
Speaker 1: for that? No, you and I are we're the one
1:05:45
Speaker 1: to put them on the bench, or we're the one
1:05:47
Speaker 1: that chose not to not to go vote. We got
1:05:51
Speaker 1: an election in downtown Cincinnati, and by all accounts, I
1:05:53
Speaker 1: mean Sherry Poll and God lover. She's been at the
1:05:55
Speaker 1: Board of Elections now for decades. She's seen more elections
1:05:58
Speaker 1: than you and I can think about attention to them,
1:06:00
Speaker 1: and has an expectation it could be wrong, but based
1:06:04
Speaker 1: upon the way things are right now, her belief is
1:06:07
Speaker 1: that this is a guest, but it's guests based upon
1:06:09
Speaker 1: lots of years of experience that only about twenty five
1:06:11
Speaker 1: percent of the voters that are eligible in the city
1:06:14
Speaker 1: of Cincinna are going to cast a vote. Seventy five
1:06:17
Speaker 1: percent of the city residents who are eligible to vote
1:06:19
Speaker 1: aren't going to show up or they're not going to
1:06:23
Speaker 1: cast an early vote, which is open right now. You
1:06:26
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to change the direction of the bench.
1:06:28
Speaker 1: There's some great judges on there that are should be
1:06:30
Speaker 1: elected to the bench or retained on the bench. Why
1:06:34
Speaker 1: wouldn't you engage in that effort if you want to
1:06:37
Speaker 1: be tough on crime. If you think that's the part
1:06:38
Speaker 1: of the problem, that the breakdown of the judicial system
1:06:41
Speaker 1: is part of the problem, maybe Connie Pillach has something
1:06:43
Speaker 1: to do with it. I don't know, but I think
1:06:45
Speaker 1: there's a lot of Hamilton County prosecutors who are still
1:06:47
Speaker 1: employed in the Prosecutor's office, who are interested in right
1:06:49
Speaker 1: going after these bad guys, in prosecuting to the fullest
1:06:52
Speaker 1: extent of the law. End up in front of a
1:06:54
Speaker 1: woke judge. That's not going to happen. Can you hold
1:06:58
Speaker 1: the judge accountable for that? No, not giving amount of
1:07:00
Speaker 1: discretion they have as long as they haven't breached the
1:07:02
Speaker 1: judicial canons or done something you know, illegal, immoral, or
1:07:05
Speaker 1: ethically challenging, You're stuck with it. Wake up, vote better
1:07:09
Speaker 1: next time. Say that about a multitude of representative senators,
1:07:14
Speaker 1: and some people would argue even President sixty five fifty
1:07:17
Speaker 1: five care City otalxation, Joey I seven oh six here
1:07:33
Speaker 1: fifty five care se detalxtation. Happy Monday always made happy,
1:07:36
Speaker 1: at least in my perspective, and I hope yours as well.
1:07:38
Speaker 1: Seven to twenty every Monday we hear from the former
1:07:40
Speaker 1: vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smith Aman.
1:07:42
Speaker 1: Yes he is running for council. Go vote Smithaman. You
1:07:44
Speaker 1: can do it right now because early voting is going
1:07:46
Speaker 1: on up until up until the well election day of November.
1:07:50
Speaker 1: Just check your board of elections hours and make sure
1:07:52
Speaker 1: they're open when you go cast a vote and get
1:07:54
Speaker 1: it out of the way so you're not one of
1:07:55
Speaker 1: the seventy five percent who probably won't vote in the election,
1:08:00
Speaker 1: at least in the city of Sincena. Over to the phones,
1:08:02
Speaker 1: I promised Joey, we take him first. Joe you hold.
1:08:04
Speaker 1: We got a Joey and and Joe Joey, thanks for
1:08:06
Speaker 1: holding over the break, Welcome to the show.
1:08:09
Speaker 13: Hi Brian, good morning.
1:08:10
Speaker 6: How you doing.
1:08:11
Speaker 1: I'm pretty well for a Monday. I feel like I
1:08:14
Speaker 1: woke up in a parallel universe.
1:08:16
Speaker 13: That is good, my friend. I just wanted to bring
1:08:20
Speaker 13: up something there hasn't been much talk about that really
1:08:23
Speaker 13: kicked me off personally, and that is a drug cartel
1:08:28
Speaker 13: putting bounties on our American Ice officers, And to me,
1:08:34
Speaker 13: I think, how dare you and they are so beneath
1:08:38
Speaker 13: us for us to take any trash or garbage of
1:08:43
Speaker 13: such stumps to threaten our citizens for doing their job.
1:08:47
Speaker 13: I'm surprised Trump hasn't thought.
1:08:49
Speaker 6: Of it yet.
1:08:50
Speaker 13: Hopefully stuff that's coming, but he needs to put out
1:08:53
Speaker 13: a bounty on some of these kingpoons and their head henchmen,
1:08:58
Speaker 13: and he you know, there could pop do some some
1:09:01
Speaker 13: handy mercenaries around that would enjoy doing that job. But
1:09:05
Speaker 13: he should put something out about them. And furthermore, a
1:09:09
Speaker 13: couple of the top dogs, he should let them know,
1:09:12
Speaker 13: not the full around with him. I suggest that he
1:09:16
Speaker 13: should put them on notice. And they've got glorious mansions.
1:09:20
Speaker 12: That they live in.
1:09:21
Speaker 13: He should give them twenty four hours to get out
1:09:24
Speaker 13: and just come over and level them. What in the
1:09:28
Speaker 13: pressure on them?
1:09:29
Speaker 1: The ones in Venezuela, well, no, I'm not sure.
1:09:34
Speaker 13: Which cartels, but from what I understood from what I heard,
1:09:37
Speaker 13: the Mexican cartels, well, we put this bounties on our
1:09:42
Speaker 13: ice agent.
1:09:43
Speaker 1: That's kind That's kind of why I said that, Joey,
1:09:45
Speaker 1: because of course we've got drug cartels in Mexico, we
1:09:48
Speaker 1: got drug cartels in Colombia, we got drug cartels in Venezuela.
1:09:51
Speaker 1: Probably more places that have drug cartels. We have the
1:09:54
Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party facilitating the fentanyl that's just inundated our
1:09:58
Speaker 1: country and killing one hundred thousand people plus a year.
1:10:01
Speaker 1: So there's lots of targets out in the world. I
1:10:04
Speaker 1: just I personally have a fundamental problem with unilaterally deciding
1:10:08
Speaker 1: who you're going to blow up and who you're not
1:10:10
Speaker 1: in countries with whom we have no declaration of war,
1:10:12
Speaker 1: we have no congressional authorization to use the military force.
1:10:16
Speaker 1: And you know that's kind of Senator Paul's point. He
1:10:18
Speaker 1: was asked about this just the other day after Donald
1:10:19
Speaker 1: Trump blew up a submarine which allegedly contained drug cartel
1:10:23
Speaker 1: members and narco terrorists or whatever the label as you
1:10:26
Speaker 1: put on them. And they, I guess they have intelligence
1:10:28
Speaker 1: which says, yes, that submarine does in fact have drugs
1:10:31
Speaker 1: on it, so blow it up. But by what authority?
1:10:34
Speaker 1: I mean, where does it say that the President of
1:10:36
Speaker 1: the United States has the unilateral authority to take these
1:10:38
Speaker 1: actions against folks with whom we have no declaration of
1:10:40
Speaker 1: war or even authorization to use the military force.
1:10:45
Speaker 13: You've got a real palid point too, And I agree
1:10:47
Speaker 13: with you, but but I don't agree with him. Bobson
1:10:51
Speaker 13: in America absolutely, Joey, I, you know this should be
1:11:00
Speaker 13: a mat on a wall compared to having to go
1:11:03
Speaker 13: deal with somebody and go into a country and get
1:11:05
Speaker 13: the lobby.
1:11:06
Speaker 3: Well, I think you need to.
1:11:07
Speaker 13: Make an example out of a couple of them.
1:11:08
Speaker 1: With bin Laden, you had authorization for use of military force.
1:11:12
Speaker 1: It goes back to nine to eleven, so that one
1:11:14
Speaker 1: was used for like basically two decades worth of warfare
1:11:17
Speaker 1: against terrorist organizations. At least you could try to hang
1:11:20
Speaker 1: your hat on that for the justification of going after him.
1:11:23
Speaker 1: But how do the Venezuela and drug cartels enter in
1:11:25
Speaker 1: any existing authorization for use of military force? They don't.
1:11:29
Speaker 1: So maybe go back to Congress get some level of
1:11:31
Speaker 1: authority to go after them, but I doubt you're going
1:11:33
Speaker 1: to be able to get it in this unbelievably divided
1:11:35
Speaker 1: environment we find ourselves in. So this lends itself to
1:11:39
Speaker 1: that idea of expedients. You know what, screw those guys
1:11:42
Speaker 1: if they're issue in boundies on our guys and we
1:11:43
Speaker 1: need to go after them wholeheartedly. Let's get some people
1:11:46
Speaker 1: out there that are on a missionaries you know, Oh yeah,
1:11:52
Speaker 1: you know the word of Meerson, Thank you very much
1:11:56
Speaker 1: for reminding me of a word you just used, mercenary.
1:12:00
Speaker 13: It's that's my sport. There are some professionals out there
1:12:02
Speaker 13: which might enjoy.
1:12:04
Speaker 3: This well reward.
1:12:07
Speaker 1: Well, the CIA's got these mercenaries effectively under the under
1:12:11
Speaker 1: color of the CIA. They're the ones that are blowing
1:12:13
Speaker 1: them up right now. So that's actually going on, but
1:12:16
Speaker 1: that you're the idea of a bounty in the internet
1:12:19
Speaker 1: world in which we find ourselves. I mean, look here, locally,
1:12:21
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman's church got shot. They're online doxing him. Go
1:12:26
Speaker 1: to the church. They're saying, they're giving us his home address.
1:12:29
Speaker 1: He's got a wife and children there. It's the same
1:12:32
Speaker 1: kind of concept on a smaller level. It's local politics.
1:12:35
Speaker 1: The drug dealers see that their their their livelihoods can
1:12:38
Speaker 1: mean come after by Donald Trump and the people. Of course,
1:12:41
Speaker 1: a lot of the drug dealers are being arrested by
1:12:43
Speaker 1: ICE agents. They're peddling the wares in these various neighborhoods.
1:12:46
Speaker 1: They're getting thrown out of the country around it up.
1:12:48
Speaker 1: This is impacting the ability for them to make money.
1:12:50
Speaker 1: So of course they're going to issue death threats. And
1:12:53
Speaker 1: add the death threats from the drug lords to the
1:12:55
Speaker 1: death threats from all the other crazies out in the world. Here,
1:12:58
Speaker 1: let me just add this, eh, hold on, hold on,
1:13:02
Speaker 1: here we go, ready, Joey, hang on, you got this
1:13:04
Speaker 1: article here? Don Lemon, Yes, that Don Lemon, formerly of CNN.
1:13:10
Speaker 1: He was on a Fox he was apparently quoted his
1:13:13
Speaker 1: saying this on the left hook with uajitit Ali program
1:13:18
Speaker 1: is here's this quote. If you believe in the Second Amendment,
1:13:22
Speaker 1: you believe in the Constitution, black people, brown people of
1:13:25
Speaker 1: all stripes, whether you are an Indian American or a
1:13:27
Speaker 1: Mexican American or whoever you are, go out in your
1:13:31
Speaker 1: place where you live and get a gun legally, get
1:13:34
Speaker 1: a license to carry legally, because when you have people
1:13:37
Speaker 1: knocking on your door and taking you away without due
1:13:39
Speaker 1: process as a citizen, isn't that what the Second Amendment
1:13:43
Speaker 1: was written for? He asked rhetorically, they said, fight back
1:13:48
Speaker 1: against ice. It will knock some sense into the heads
1:13:50
Speaker 1: of these people who are saying, whoa, it's all great.
1:13:52
Speaker 1: I don't believe they're doing it without due process. He's
1:13:55
Speaker 1: basically telling people to take up arms against Ice age
1:13:57
Speaker 1: just knocking on the door. So I know, see Joey, hey, jeah.
1:14:03
Speaker 13: Well, I will tell you this though, with the drug
1:14:06
Speaker 13: cartel specifically maybe the ones that are sending these messages out.
1:14:11
Speaker 13: I've been advocate of this for a long time, and
1:14:13
Speaker 13: I quit this in every war and everything since Christ
1:14:17
Speaker 13: is wealthy or violence only understands violence, and they should
1:14:22
Speaker 13: do something to them.
1:14:23
Speaker 1: Might think ultimately, somehow, somehow, And again from an expedient standpoint,
1:14:29
Speaker 1: from a hatred of drug cartels and organized criminals, that's me.
1:14:32
Speaker 1: I'm with you all day long on my feelings about them.
1:14:35
Speaker 1: But again going back to that Congressman Thomas Messey position,
1:14:39
Speaker 1: we do have a supreme law of the Lent. It
1:14:41
Speaker 1: does not allow this reckless use of force without some
1:14:45
Speaker 1: sort of check and balance. That's what our constitution is
1:14:48
Speaker 1: all about. Let our elected officials give Donald Trump the
1:14:51
Speaker 1: authority to do this. You can all hash it out
1:14:53
Speaker 1: in court on whether it's appropriate or not, but at
1:14:56
Speaker 1: least you'd have some mix of executive power and congressional authority,
1:15:01
Speaker 1: which is exactly what I think is required when it
1:15:03
Speaker 1: comes to using force in countries where we don't have
1:15:06
Speaker 1: a declaration of war. Joe, thank you for holding. Welcome
1:15:09
Speaker 1: to the show, Happy Monday.
1:15:11
Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
1:15:13
Speaker 12: As far as our team, Jeffries and Chuffy Schumer beller
1:15:17
Speaker 12: about like tiking already two onions about how good Okamacare is,
1:15:22
Speaker 12: Why does it need to be subsidized to start with?
1:15:25
Speaker 6: And they wrote the rules on it.
1:15:28
Speaker 1: Joe, No, truer words could have been spoken. You're exactly right.
1:15:32
Speaker 1: They wrote the language. They wrote the subsidies. Subsidies captain
1:15:35
Speaker 1: at four hundred percent of poverty level, which capsued basically
1:15:38
Speaker 1: sixty eight hundred dollars if I recall correctly, those subsidies
1:15:42
Speaker 1: extended without any income tabs because of yes COVID nineteen
1:15:45
Speaker 1: with an expiration on those subsidies the end of this year.
1:15:48
Speaker 1: They wrote it, they put it in there. They're living
1:15:51
Speaker 1: the reality of it. I don't understand how any Republicans,
1:15:53
Speaker 1: which they are are now starting to waver on that concept,
1:15:57
Speaker 1: and there are some There are some Republicans that are
1:16:00
Speaker 1: There is no free lunch Bamacare. Obamacare's is. It's a laugh.
1:16:05
Speaker 1: The only thing that's keeping it alive or the general revenue,
1:16:08
Speaker 1: is from the American taxpayer. That's where the subsidies go.
1:16:12
Speaker 1: It keeps it afloat, and if you take it away,
1:16:15
Speaker 1: Obamacare is revealed for the nightmare it is. It'll collapse
1:16:18
Speaker 1: under the weight of itself because it's just simply unsustainable.
1:16:22
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Joe got a run I'm gonna hear from
1:16:23

Speaker 3: Oh brother, thank you so much for having me on.
1:17:04
Speaker 3: Brian and I hope you had a great weekend.
1:17:07
Speaker 1: I did, thank you very much. It was quiet. It
1:17:10
Speaker 1: was a quiet, empty Nester weekend at the Thomas household.
1:17:12
Speaker 1: My son was out of town in a camping trip
1:17:14
Speaker 1: with my daughter's fiance, so it was a very nice weekend.
1:17:18
Speaker 3: Okay, all right. You know, our kids never believe that
1:17:22
Speaker 3: there's life after them.
1:17:27
Speaker 1: Smarter than that.
1:17:29
Speaker 3: Oh they're smarter than that. Oh yeah, that's right.
1:17:32
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, But let me let me share this with you.
1:17:35
Speaker 3: Man. The hottest story out here right now locally is
1:17:42
Speaker 3: the firing of our police chief. And I want to
1:17:46
Speaker 3: I want to publicly weigh in on this. And it
1:17:49
Speaker 3: might take me two segments getting into my vent, but
1:17:52
Speaker 3: I want to set this up for your listening audience.
1:17:56
Speaker 3: Let's remember that this entire summer, from the time that
1:18:01
Speaker 3: the governor offered their services Governor Mike DeLine to this mayor,
1:18:07
Speaker 3: he has said, we don't need them, we don't need them.
1:18:10
Speaker 3: And then somewhere in the summer he went to twice
1:18:13
Speaker 3: a month, and now he's at four times a month,
1:18:15
Speaker 3: which makes no sense right to the governor's office or
1:18:20
Speaker 3: to rational people.
1:18:21
Speaker 1: And you are referring, of course, to the governor's offer
1:18:24
Speaker 1: of Ohio State Patrol officers every day of the month.
1:18:28
Speaker 1: It started out with provol accepting two two days a month,
1:18:32
Speaker 1: and then he said, oh, okay, we'll take four days
1:18:35
Speaker 1: a month, in spite of the fact the governor made
1:18:36
Speaker 1: the resources available for every day of the month.
1:18:41
Speaker 3: That's exactly right. And during this whole time, the mayor
1:18:44
Speaker 3: has been saying crime is down, crime is down, This
1:18:48
Speaker 3: is our perception, not the reality. And he would always
1:18:51
Speaker 3: start with the stats. He did it in both debates
1:18:54
Speaker 3: against Corey Bowman. Matter of fact, he said Corey Bowman
1:18:57
Speaker 3: didn't have experience thing. I think Corey Bowman in his
1:19:03
Speaker 3: way said that the mayor doesn't have common sense. This
1:19:06
Speaker 3: is a race about common sense, but not going to
1:19:09
Speaker 3: get into that. Why would you need to fire the
1:19:13
Speaker 3: police chief two weeks before the election if crime is down,
1:19:18
Speaker 3: which is what this police chief and any police chief
1:19:21
Speaker 3: in any major city or in the small city, their
1:19:24
Speaker 3: number one job extruction is crime down. So if the
1:19:27
Speaker 3: crime fighter is doing a good job, why would you
1:19:30
Speaker 3: need to fire them? So people have to think through
1:19:34
Speaker 3: what is actually going on. And this is more about escapegoat.
1:19:38
Speaker 3: This is saying I need a scapegoat before the election
1:19:42
Speaker 3: so that I can act like I'm doing something because
1:19:45
Speaker 3: I'm under pressure. Places like Hyde, Parking Mount Lookout, places
1:19:49
Speaker 3: like Westwood and Priceville into Damsville, for example. Places like
1:19:55
Speaker 3: bond Hill, Rose, London, Evingston might not be voting for
1:19:58
Speaker 3: me because they're very concerned about crime. And so now
1:20:02
Speaker 3: his reality, his political reality is starting to hit him,
1:20:07
Speaker 3: and he's saying, I've got to do something. I've got
1:20:10
Speaker 3: to show something. What I'm going to do is find
1:20:12
Speaker 3: a scapegoat. I'm going to fire Chief Fiji. But let
1:20:16
Speaker 3: me share something with you.
1:20:18
Speaker 1: Yes, didn't aren't we all under the impression and it's
1:20:21
Speaker 1: been widely reported Police Chief Fiji who answers to Purvol
1:20:25
Speaker 1: and Cheryl Long, the ones that hired her and are
1:20:28
Speaker 1: in a position to fire her at will. Wasn't she
1:20:31
Speaker 1: following their crime fighting directives? Wasn't he mayor haveta Parvle
1:20:37
Speaker 1: a guy that campaigned on reimagining or defunding the police.
1:20:40
Speaker 1: He's the one that put these community responders on the
1:20:42
Speaker 1: streets as opposed to police officers. I mean she was
1:20:46
Speaker 1: just doing what she was told or implementing the strategies
1:20:48
Speaker 1: that he ran on. Wasn't she?
1:20:51
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Brian Thomas, I pray that your listeners are listening
1:20:56
Speaker 3: to what you just said. It is critical exactly. I mean,
1:21:03
Speaker 3: even to the detail of I want two officers here,
1:21:07
Speaker 3: I want an officer there, even when the police chief
1:21:09
Speaker 3: is saying no, no, no, I don't want that, or
1:21:11
Speaker 3: even to the point of hiring a consultant, meaning it's
1:21:15
Speaker 3: not like the police chief was like, I need a consultant.
1:21:19
Speaker 3: I need the kind of the federal oversight, which there
1:21:23
Speaker 3: is no federal oversight over our police department, but I
1:21:26
Speaker 3: need to hire this consultant to kind of direct us
1:21:29
Speaker 3: and tell us how to do policing. None of that
1:21:31
Speaker 3: is coming from the police chief's office. And so what
1:21:36
Speaker 3: I want to highlight here, though, is her record because
1:21:38
Speaker 3: between Monday and Tuesday, and maybe we'll come back to
1:21:42
Speaker 3: the next segment here set this up. There's going to
1:21:44
Speaker 3: be a deal on the table right now. We have
1:21:47
Speaker 3: a police chief. But because of how sure long our
1:21:50
Speaker 3: city manager handled this, pulling her back from a conference
1:21:54
Speaker 3: that she's attending with her husband, they're landing, and all
1:21:59
Speaker 3: of a sudden they get a call get back to Cincinnati.
1:22:02
Speaker 3: She's standing there with all police chiefs from around the
1:22:06
Speaker 3: United States of America and some from around the world.
1:22:09
Speaker 3: And now you just after thirty seven years with Cincinnati PD,
1:22:16
Speaker 3: thirty seven year career, you call her back like a
1:22:19
Speaker 3: principle from a conference from Denver and say, I just
1:22:24
Speaker 3: what You've got to come back here right now? Why
1:22:26
Speaker 3: couldn't they wait three or four or five days or whatever.
1:22:30
Speaker 3: The length of the conference to have this public discussion.
1:22:34
Speaker 3: It was humiliating for the police chiefs, humiliating for those
1:22:38
Speaker 3: who want to be the police chief, and humiliating for
1:22:41
Speaker 3: the rank and file. And this is why there's the morale.
1:22:44
Speaker 3: The morale in the Cincinnati Police Department is so low.
1:22:48
Speaker 3: If you treat the fire chief, which they treat it
1:22:52
Speaker 3: very poorly, and you treat the police chief like this,
1:22:55
Speaker 3: it makes everybody. It creates an uncertainty within the police
1:22:59
Speaker 3: depart and it does nothing but really confirm what pops
1:23:03
Speaker 3: already know. You guys don't support me, you don't respect me,
1:23:07
Speaker 3: you don't value me.
1:23:08
Speaker 1: Let's pauseibring Christopher back to continue the event for this morning.
1:23:12
Speaker 1: First word for cross country mortation Monday, we're doing that
1:23:15
Speaker 1: smith event thing. Christopher smith Aman running for Sincai City Council.
1:23:18
Speaker 1: Strongly encourage my listeners to consider voting for Christopher Smithman
1:23:21
Speaker 1: and get out and vote. It's time for early voting,
1:23:24
Speaker 1: just during the open hours from the Hamilin County Board
1:23:27
Speaker 1: of Elections. Just don't show up after hours. Christopher, you
1:23:30
Speaker 1: have the floor, my friend. We were continuing a theme
1:23:32
Speaker 1: or a thought or a discussion topic along the lines
1:23:35
Speaker 1: of police Chief Teresa Thiji kind of on thin ice
1:23:39
Speaker 1: right now. She has lawyered up too.
1:23:42
Speaker 3: She's lowered up, and it makes sense. She's hired the
1:23:46
Speaker 3: Finny law firm to represent her. And you can anybody
1:23:51
Speaker 3: listen to this knows that this is going to be
1:23:54
Speaker 3: resolved this week. As a matter of fact, it probably
1:23:57
Speaker 3: will resolve in the next forty eight hours. That's what
1:23:59
Speaker 3: I've because correct, because the police department, right, you have
1:24:04
Speaker 3: to know who the leader is and who's making decisions.
1:24:08
Speaker 3: If you don't, it puts all of us at risk.
1:24:11
Speaker 3: And so you've seen a mayor and a city manager. Again,
1:24:14
Speaker 3: one of the reasons I got in the race, and
1:24:16
Speaker 3: many other people got in the race, like a key
1:24:19
Speaker 3: thing you've talked about, or you know, like a Matthews.
1:24:24
Speaker 3: You know, lots of people have got in this race
1:24:26
Speaker 3: because they're concerned about what they're seeing at city Hall,
1:24:29
Speaker 3: and we just saw a major blunder. It didn't have
1:24:32
Speaker 3: to happen that way. Here's a person that is given,
1:24:35
Speaker 3: let's just say, thirty five years of their life to
1:24:39
Speaker 3: the city. Does anybody believe listening to me that she
1:24:44
Speaker 3: can't retire? Meaning this is not about like can she retire.
1:24:49
Speaker 3: Can she move on? I mean, treat the lady with dignity?
1:24:52
Speaker 3: Think about this right and I got I have this data.
1:24:56
Speaker 3: So Chief carry Fiji thirty seven years CPD. This is
1:25:02
Speaker 3: her family, the family. Captain Gary Neville her dad, fifteen
1:25:07
Speaker 3: years with the Cincinnati Police Department. Lieutenant Roger Hildebrand thirty
1:25:13
Speaker 3: years with the Cincinnati Police Department. Lieutenant Mark Hildebrand twenty
1:25:19
Speaker 3: eight years with the Cincinnati Police Department. Captain Russ Neville
1:25:23
Speaker 3: thirty four years with the Cincinnati Police Department. Captain Mike
1:25:27
Speaker 3: Neville thirty four years with the Cincinnati Police Department. In
1:25:31
Speaker 3: the Hamilton County, Hamilton County Captain Rick Neville thirty years.
1:25:37
Speaker 3: Specialist Joyce Neville Lips thirty four years. This family has
1:25:41
Speaker 3: two hundred and forty two years working in law enforcement
1:25:47
Speaker 3: in our community. And they have now nephews and sons
1:25:52
Speaker 3: who are who are now serving, and that adds up
1:25:55
Speaker 3: to another fifty years. So you're talking two hundred and
1:25:59
Speaker 3: ninety two years years. And this is how this mayor
1:26:03
Speaker 3: and this manager treats this chief. It's undeserving community and
1:26:09
Speaker 3: it's an indication of what's broken at city Hall. Why
1:26:13
Speaker 3: not only I'm running. But why if Goodin is running, right,
1:26:16
Speaker 3: why Keating is running? People have really good choices. And
1:26:20
Speaker 3: by the way, you haven't heard from anybody from city
1:26:23
Speaker 3: council trying to reel in this bonker's behavior. Look, Chief
1:26:29
Speaker 3: Washington has won his legal case. You know better than
1:26:33
Speaker 3: me as a lawyer. The city has appealed it. This
1:26:36
Speaker 3: is the fire chief. They've lost. The judges said, stop
1:26:41
Speaker 3: screwing around and settle the case. Anybody listening, I'm going
1:26:46
Speaker 3: to give a range one million to five million, some
1:26:50
Speaker 3: say ten million, meaning they treated the fire chief so badly,
1:26:56
Speaker 3: they were wronged so badly what they put in the paper.
1:26:59
Speaker 3: As tries to apply for other jobs, he can't get
1:27:02
Speaker 3: them because it looked like they went after him for
1:27:05
Speaker 3: sexual misconduct with nothing but so far further further from
1:27:10
Speaker 3: the truth. It was a debacle.
1:27:13
Speaker 1: Reference.
1:27:14
Speaker 3: Now we have a police chief and a fire chief.
1:27:17
Speaker 3: Really here where the manager and the mayor have these
1:27:20
Speaker 3: two cases? Now where both sides meeting, the fire and
1:27:24
Speaker 3: the police are both suing this administration. Think about that
1:27:29
Speaker 3: police and fire are both suing. And by and by
1:27:33
Speaker 3: the way, in a Chief Washington's case, so the judge
1:27:38
Speaker 3: said that the chief could go after the city manager
1:27:42
Speaker 3: personally just from capacity with the city, but he could
1:27:48
Speaker 3: go after her personally, So this thing isn't over. They
1:27:51
Speaker 3: might settle this case and and she and there he
1:27:55
Speaker 3: is using the Fitny law firm. They also might decide
1:27:58
Speaker 3: to now turn and sue Cheryl Long personally for how
1:28:03
Speaker 3: she treated him.
1:28:04
Speaker 1: Well, my understanding is that the fire chief, Michael Washington,
1:28:08
Speaker 1: has already filed suit not only against the city but
1:28:11
Speaker 1: also Cheryl Long. Question remains if Teresa Thiji is going
1:28:15
Speaker 1: to have to file a lawsuit. I don't believe she
1:28:16
Speaker 1: has filed one yet, But if she gets terminated, I
1:28:19
Speaker 1: think the writing's on the wall. We can all count
1:28:21
Speaker 1: on that happening. I think most likely resolution is, and
1:28:24
Speaker 1: people are concerned about this, that she'll settle with the city.
1:28:27
Speaker 1: She will take a voluntary retirement and step down from
1:28:31
Speaker 1: her position. She'll get paid, she'll get a check written
1:28:34
Speaker 1: to her, and probably that will be a companied by
1:28:36
Speaker 1: a gag order, meaning that Chief Theji won't be able
1:28:39
Speaker 1: to say anything about what she was instructed to do,
1:28:42
Speaker 1: the relations with maybe Iris Rowley or the city man.
1:28:44
Speaker 1: It doesn't I mean all those facts and details behind
1:28:47
Speaker 1: the scenes you and I will not be able to
1:28:48
Speaker 1: get if they get a gag order.
1:28:52
Speaker 3: You're very correct, and that's going to be We should
1:28:54
Speaker 3: all be watching that today and Tuesday. I just can't see.
1:28:58
Speaker 3: And you know, your sister retired Cincinnati police officer, you
1:29:02
Speaker 3: know she'll have even better insights than me. But I
1:29:05
Speaker 3: just can't see them dragging this out an entire week
1:29:08
Speaker 3: because you essentially you don't know who's running the department.
1:29:12
Speaker 3: I mean, the chief is still making decisions because she's
1:29:15
Speaker 3: the chief, but like you've said, you're going to fire her.
1:29:20
Speaker 3: You don't want her there, right? You know who's listening
1:29:22
Speaker 3: to those directions? Right? It's and so this decision that
1:29:28
Speaker 3: the city manager and the mayor have placed us, meaning
1:29:31
Speaker 3: the citizens, you and others, they've made it. They put
1:29:35
Speaker 3: our lives on the line because they're creating again this
1:29:38
Speaker 3: uncertainty within this department called the police department that we
1:29:42
Speaker 3: all depend on to keep us safe. This is so reckless, unnecessary,
1:29:47
Speaker 3: it's unbelievable. And why when people say, because you know,
1:29:50
Speaker 3: we've been knocking on doors and people are like, oh,
1:29:52
Speaker 3: you know, I don't vote in the city elections. You know,
1:29:54
Speaker 3: like in Hyde Park, there might be sixteen thousand registered voters,
1:29:58
Speaker 3: but maybe three thousand or thirty five hundred or four
1:30:01
Speaker 3: thousand show up. We need citizens who are listening because
1:30:04
Speaker 3: voter turnout right now, Brian Thomas, is so low. Right now,
1:30:09
Speaker 3: we need people to hear our voices. Right The jury
1:30:13
Speaker 3: now is in the box the people. It's time for
1:30:16
Speaker 3: us to show up and vote and vote in a
1:30:20
Speaker 3: very high number so that we can change the complexion
1:30:24
Speaker 3: the people that are serving on city council and change
1:30:27
Speaker 3: who's sitting in that mayor seat. We can do it
1:30:29
Speaker 3: if people show up and vote. The question is our
1:30:32
Speaker 3: places like Hyde Parking, Mount Lookout and Bond Hill and
1:30:35
Speaker 3: rolls On in Evan Citdney. We can go through the
1:30:37
Speaker 3: list in Ta Damsville Price Hill. Are they going to
1:30:40
Speaker 3: actually show up? I don't know right now. The voter
1:30:44
Speaker 3: turnout is low, and I don't you know. I encourage people.
1:30:49
Speaker 3: This is a very critical election and they should vote
1:30:51
Speaker 3: like their life depends on it.
1:30:53
Speaker 1: They should seven thirty seven right now. One more, Christopher
1:30:55
Speaker 1: Smith and I have this quick word for USA installation
1:30:58
Speaker 1: s C the talk station seven, the fifty five Karroseni
1:31:05
Speaker 1: Talks Station. Bry Thimas with Christopher Smitheman wrapping up another
1:31:08
Speaker 1: Monday Morning Smither event. Christopher, Issue five is the reason Mary,
1:31:13
Speaker 1: I have to have Purval on Cheryl Long we're able
1:31:15
Speaker 1: to decide who the police chief is going to be.
1:31:16
Speaker 1: I know the Since Sint Police Department union did not
1:31:20
Speaker 1: want Charmaine McGuffey has been widely reported so over the
1:31:23
Speaker 1: objections of the members of the Sin Saint Police Department.
1:31:25
Speaker 1: Long and Purval put Fiji in that role. She obviously
1:31:30
Speaker 1: has been following their instructions and directions. We talked about
1:31:33
Speaker 1: that earlier in the segment. There's now rumors that if
1:31:37
Speaker 1: the inevitable happens, which we expected to happen, she'll step
1:31:40
Speaker 1: down and probably take some sort of check from the
1:31:42
Speaker 1: city and walk away. They're Signal ninety nine reporting that
1:31:46
Speaker 1: Charmaine McGuffey believes she may be next in line to
1:31:50
Speaker 1: be the chief of the Sin Sint Police Department. So
1:31:52
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure that the union members would want
1:31:56
Speaker 1: or elect Chief Fiji if they had the ability to
1:31:59
Speaker 1: do so. But do you think we need to revisit
1:32:02
Speaker 1: the idea of issue five and taking away the choice
1:32:04
Speaker 1: from the police officers and giving it to the city
1:32:07
Speaker 1: manager and the mayor.
1:32:08
Speaker 3: Is a good idea, Yeah, I think that we have
1:32:11
Speaker 3: to look at issue five. They're good parts and that,
1:32:14
Speaker 3: but this is the bad part. I will publicly share
1:32:18
Speaker 3: with you. What I hope to do is look at
1:32:22
Speaker 3: our charter and make it impossible for the city manager
1:32:27
Speaker 3: to fire the fire chief or the police chief without
1:32:31
Speaker 3: the consent of council. So right now, the mayor cannot
1:32:36
Speaker 3: fire the city manager without the consent of council. You
1:32:39
Speaker 3: have to have seven members of council to say yes
1:32:43
Speaker 3: to that termination. I think that same streshold should be
1:32:48
Speaker 3: the same for police and fire. That would clear it
1:32:51
Speaker 3: up because we wouldn't be having these discussions. If the
1:32:55
Speaker 3: Board of Directors, which we call nine members of city
1:32:58
Speaker 3: council had to make that decision on whether the city
1:33:02
Speaker 3: manager could terminate or not, it would have it would
1:33:05
Speaker 3: have put a backstop on the fire chief. It would
1:33:07
Speaker 3: have put a backstop on the police chief. So that's
1:33:10
Speaker 3: the direction I'd like to go in, and I've been
1:33:12
Speaker 3: I've started those those private discussions with both unions seeing
1:33:17
Speaker 3: how they feel about a charter amendment in twenty twenty
1:33:21
Speaker 3: six that does just that. Uh, the city manager no
1:33:25
Speaker 3: longer would have the power of termination. It would be
1:33:28
Speaker 3: in the hands are they are the are the final
1:33:31
Speaker 3: confirmation by seven members of counsel, which is a very
1:33:34
Speaker 3: high threshold. It get you, it is I don't think
1:33:37
Speaker 3: seven members. I don't think seven members of council right
1:33:39
Speaker 3: now would vote to terminate Chief Fiji. By the way,
1:33:44
Speaker 3: you know, she she could retire at any time. You know,
1:33:47
Speaker 3: you just go to her and you say, hey, we're
1:33:49
Speaker 3: we're looking at moving in a different direction. Sometimes people
1:33:52
Speaker 3: ask me, well, smiderman, what would you do differently? I
1:33:55
Speaker 3: would communicate, I would be respectful. I would call the Chief.
1:33:58
Speaker 3: I wouldn't do it in the middle of conference in Denver.
1:34:01
Speaker 3: I'd wait for her to return. I'd sit down and
1:34:03
Speaker 3: say we're going to hit in a different direction, and
1:34:05
Speaker 3: we want to do it with the dignity that you've
1:34:07
Speaker 3: given us your thirty thirty plus years of service. Let's
1:34:10
Speaker 3: walk out together, say we're changing directions starting January first,
1:34:14
Speaker 3: as an example, and then there isn't a need to
1:34:17
Speaker 3: hire Chris Finny. You're not gonna have to take a
1:34:19
Speaker 3: million or two million dollars from taxpayer money to give
1:34:23
Speaker 3: to her, you know, as a parachute to walk away
1:34:25
Speaker 3: and sign some type of an agreement. But when you
1:34:28
Speaker 3: treat her like trash and you drag her reputation through
1:34:32
Speaker 3: the mud, when the family, meaning that Neville family, is
1:34:35
Speaker 3: giving you two hundred and forty two years of service,
1:34:37
Speaker 3: and the and their nephews and their grandchildren are serving
1:34:41
Speaker 3: across the county in the city in another fifty years,
1:34:44
Speaker 3: they've got almost three hundred years in. And you've got
1:34:46
Speaker 3: a guy from Dayton, Ohio rolling in saying, Hey man,
1:34:49
Speaker 3: I'm just going to throw you out like you're the trash.
1:34:52
Speaker 3: You better believe this family is gonna fight. And by
1:34:55
Speaker 3: the way, community, they've hired one of the best law
1:34:57
Speaker 3: firms to do it that we have. He's incredibly successful.
1:35:01
Speaker 3: So the reality is she might not, which I hope
1:35:04
Speaker 3: that if the family is listening, I hope she doesn't
1:35:07
Speaker 3: sign an agreement. I hope she fights to get the money.
1:35:11
Speaker 3: Ann doesn't have to sign the agreement so we can
1:35:13
Speaker 3: hear her voice, so she can come on the Brian
1:35:16
Speaker 3: Thomas Show. Brian can interview her and talk about her experience,
1:35:20
Speaker 3: her lustrous experience with the Cincinnati Police Department, particularly over
1:35:24
Speaker 3: the last four years. I think the public deserves to
1:35:27
Speaker 3: hear from this police chief, and I hope she doesn't
1:35:30
Speaker 3: have to sign any kind of an agreement.
1:35:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you on that. I guess, you know,
1:35:34
Speaker 1: going back to your original point, the timing of this
1:35:36
Speaker 1: is just crazy. Have to have provo going on and
1:35:39
Speaker 1: on and on and on and on and on and
1:35:41
Speaker 1: on about how safe it is in the city of
1:35:43
Speaker 1: Cincinnati under the leadership of Police Chief three Cythigi, and
1:35:47
Speaker 1: then the next breath, by the way, we're going to
1:35:49
Speaker 1: fire her or we're going to get rid of her
1:35:50
Speaker 1: because well, we're not happy with how crime is being
1:35:54
Speaker 1: fought here in the city of Cincinnati. It's it's just
1:35:56
Speaker 1: batcrap crazy. If I could boil it down to a phrase.
1:35:59
Speaker 3: It really is. And we have we're in the middle
1:36:02
Speaker 3: of an election, which you have been stating, and I
1:36:04
Speaker 3: hope and I know you've been standing and hope you
1:36:06
Speaker 3: continue to say. Look, the most important thing when you're
1:36:10
Speaker 3: voting for council is who you're voting for and knowing
1:36:12
Speaker 3: how to vote in a nine X system. I like
1:36:15
Speaker 3: to repeat this to the community. You never should vote
1:36:18
Speaker 3: for nine people for city council, right, you should vote
1:36:21
Speaker 3: for one, two three, four, or five people. Five people
1:36:24
Speaker 3: is the majority. These are the five people that I
1:36:28
Speaker 3: want to lead the council and lead the city of
1:36:30
Speaker 3: Cincinnati and put a check in balance on the mayor's office,
1:36:34
Speaker 3: which is the strong mayor system. So when you're going
1:36:37
Speaker 3: in there, if you're in there voting for nine people,
1:36:38
Speaker 3: you're already making, in my opinion, a mistake. There aren't
1:36:42
Speaker 3: nine people in the field to vote for. And by
1:36:44
Speaker 3: the way, if you want those five people to win,
1:36:47
Speaker 3: why would you have four competing votes against those five.
1:36:50
Speaker 3: So only vote for one, two, three, four or five people.
1:36:54
Speaker 3: And when you go and vote, never take a simple ballot.
1:36:58
Speaker 3: Get no talk to your family before you vote, walk
1:37:01
Speaker 3: in prepare you know, when I'm over in a Salor park, man,
1:37:06
Speaker 3: you should see the people in Salor Park come with
1:37:10
Speaker 3: their own piece of paper. Clearly they have talked about
1:37:13
Speaker 3: it and they're ready to vote. All of us, as
1:37:15
Speaker 3: adults eighteen and above, should come and come prepared that
1:37:19
Speaker 3: we've done our homework, the same thing we tell our
1:37:21
Speaker 3: kids to do. Know who you're going to vote for,
1:37:24
Speaker 3: and be prepared when you show up. But this is
1:37:26
Speaker 3: a critical election. I've never seen anything out like it.
1:37:29
Speaker 3: I've never seen so much chaos down at city Hall.
1:37:32
Speaker 3: It's why I got in the race. We need common
1:37:34
Speaker 3: sense and experience, and there's some good candidates out here
1:37:38
Speaker 3: that we can say yes to. Brian Thomas. We don't
1:37:40
Speaker 3: have to accept this behavior, but we can't just have
1:37:43
Speaker 3: fifteen or nineteen or twenty percent of the electric meaning
1:37:47
Speaker 3: eight out of ten voters stay home and think we're
1:37:49
Speaker 3: going to make change at the end of the day.
1:37:52
Speaker 3: Shame on us. It's our responsibility if we allow this
1:37:55
Speaker 3: craziness to happen and we don't put a check in
1:37:57
Speaker 3: balance on it.
1:37:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look what the New kingsfolks able to accomplish.
1:38:01
Speaker 1: You know, these organize a left wing rally and a
1:38:03
Speaker 1: whole bunch of people show up. And if that group
1:38:06
Speaker 1: of people is highly motivated to vote because they love
1:38:08
Speaker 1: the left wing, woke reality that is the city of
1:38:10
Speaker 1: Cincinnati it's current leadership, then they're going to show up
1:38:12
Speaker 1: at the polls. You can guarantee that. So why wouldn't
1:38:14
Speaker 1: you want to act as a voice to counter that?
1:38:17
Speaker 1: I mean, why would anyone stay at home? Recognizing the
1:38:20
Speaker 1: force that these well funded political operatives have out in
1:38:24
Speaker 1: the world. You know, the irish, rolly types who apparently
1:38:27
Speaker 1: have a lot of connection with a lot of very
1:38:28
Speaker 1: influential people who don't seem to want to vote in
1:38:31
Speaker 1: the best interest of the residents of the city of Cincinnati.
1:38:34
Speaker 3: Well, you know what's so awesome about when I'm knocking
1:38:37
Speaker 3: on doors is Democrats are saying they're not voting for
1:38:41
Speaker 3: this council. They say things so consistently like the party
1:38:45
Speaker 3: has left me. I don't know. I don't even recognize
1:38:48
Speaker 3: the Democratic Party anymore. I don't know if they understand
1:38:51
Speaker 3: this disconnect that's happening out there with Democrats. Democrats are
1:38:55
Speaker 3: out there telling me I'm voting for Charter rights, I'm
1:38:57
Speaker 3: voting for independence, I'm voting for report publicans. I'm just
1:39:01
Speaker 3: voting for people who have common sense, who can just
1:39:03
Speaker 3: run the city. Okay, I am getting that kind of
1:39:06
Speaker 3: feedback when I'm out there knocking on doors.
1:39:08
Speaker 1: All right, as long as they say they're going to
1:39:10
Speaker 1: vote for that group of people as opposed to I'm
1:39:14
Speaker 1: not voting for Democrats, and which can be translated into
1:39:16
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go vote because I can't bring myself.
1:39:19
Speaker 1: Being a lifelong Democrat, I've always voted a Democrat. I
1:39:21
Speaker 1: can't bring myself to vote Republican or even Charter right.
1:39:24
Speaker 1: I'm not going to vote period. I'm staying at home.
1:39:26
Speaker 1: That's what concerns me. Christopher Smithman votes Smithman. He's one
1:39:30
Speaker 1: of the many that is or quite a few out
1:39:32
Speaker 1: there that you have an option for that do have
1:39:34
Speaker 1: common sense, logic and reason. He obviously has a great
1:39:37
Speaker 1: record to run on and don't forget the Hamilton County
1:39:39
Speaker 1: Municipal Court judges my recommendations Berkerwitz, Sunderman, Pack and Bender. Christopher,
1:39:44
Speaker 1: thank you so much for your time and keep fighting.
1:39:46
Speaker 1: Good fight.
1:39:47
Speaker 3: Ryan Thomas, thank you, sir.
1:39:49
Speaker 1: We'll talk on Monday next seven to fifty. Right now,
1:39:51
Speaker 1: if you have k CD tolloring he's been hiring of
1:39:53
Speaker 1: a police chief or fire chief that out and an
1:39:55
Speaker 1: extra set of eyes, and maybe if we get a
1:39:57
Speaker 1: different mix of counsel, a different political viewpoint when looking
1:40:01
Speaker 1: at these maybe we should hold back. Maybe we shouldn't
1:40:03
Speaker 1: fire the fire chief Michael Washington without taking a real
1:40:06
Speaker 1: close look at his record and realizing he has a
1:40:09
Speaker 1: stellar record and maybe there's nothing to these claims behind
1:40:12
Speaker 1: the scenes that he was somehow sexually harassing people. Yeah,
1:40:14
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to write a check. I got to
1:40:17
Speaker 1: point out, I knew Christopher is all about compensating these
1:40:20
Speaker 1: people for their obviously significant damages. You know, write a
1:40:24
Speaker 1: check maybe between a million and five million to Michael Washington.
1:40:28
Speaker 1: He might very well deserve that for how he was treated.
1:40:31
Speaker 1: You're paying for that. City taxpayers will be paying for that.
1:40:37
Speaker 1: Let that sink in. Now, if you had better leadership,
1:40:39
Speaker 1: a man wouldn't have lost a job in the first place,
1:40:41
Speaker 1: and you wouldn't be out the multiple million dollar settlement
1:40:44
Speaker 1: we all presume is going to happen down the road.
1:40:48
Speaker 1: Elections are so dang important money money. With Brian James
1:40:52
Speaker 1: coming up at the top of the air news, how's
1:40:53
Speaker 1: this shutdown affecting you?
1:40:54
Speaker 4: Is it?
1:40:55
Speaker 1: We'll talk about so SIS security bonds and four A
1:40:57
Speaker 1: one CA's and how the impact is on them for
1:40:59
Speaker 1: a one case apparently tied to the stock market more
1:41:02
Speaker 1: than ever before. Is that a good thing? And finally
1:41:05
Speaker 1: not a good thing? Americans get a grade letter D
1:41:08
Speaker 1: when it comes to saving for retirement plus Patty from
1:41:11
Speaker 1: Hart for Seniors returns of the program at eight forty
1:41:13
Speaker 1: been hearing the commercials being run an outstanding nonprofit organization
1:41:17
Speaker 1: providing some wonderful support for those out there that are
1:41:20
Speaker 1: caring for seniors, seniors in in in long term care facilities,
1:41:27
Speaker 1: or who are receiving care in their homes. Lots of
1:41:30
Speaker 1: issues being in that position from place a.
1:41:32
Speaker 2: Little less haunting than join us at fifty five KRC dot.
1:41:36
Speaker 1: Comtick around Money Monday's next Today Monday. It is that
1:41:42
Speaker 1: time every Monday. This time we need to talk with
1:41:44
Speaker 1: Brian James from all Worth Financial East Financial Planner. He
1:41:47
Speaker 1: knows about Monday Money, so that's why we call this
1:41:49
Speaker 1: Money Monday with Brian James. Welcome back, Brian. I hope
1:41:51
Speaker 1: you had a good weekend.
1:41:52
Speaker 5: Good morning, happy fall and cold weather to you.
1:41:55
Speaker 1: Brian Thomason, Hey, look, the federal gruments still shut down.
1:41:57
Speaker 1: Brian like that.
1:41:59
Speaker 5: I think they they figured out that the weather was
1:42:01
Speaker 5: not going to be warm today, so we're just not
1:42:03
Speaker 5: going to.
1:42:03
Speaker 1: Get out of bed.
1:42:04
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:42:04
Speaker 1: Well, they got no kings out of their system over
1:42:06
Speaker 1: the weekend. Not quite sure what that was all about
1:42:07
Speaker 1: or what they hope to accomplish, but the government's still
1:42:09
Speaker 1: shut down. I think one of the reasons it was
1:42:10
Speaker 1: still shut down is because they knew that event was coming.
1:42:14
Speaker 1: I want to show how angry and upset American people are,
1:42:16
Speaker 1: generally speaking. It was top of the article or a
1:42:19
Speaker 1: news report about all the different reasons people might have
1:42:21
Speaker 1: shown up, and they're disparate and diverse reasons for showing up.
1:42:25
Speaker 1: But the government still remains shut down and there doesn't
1:42:28
Speaker 1: seem to be any end in sight, I think, at
1:42:31
Speaker 1: least from a political standpoint. It's been noted in the
1:42:33
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal reported on this about running out of
1:42:36
Speaker 1: time to figure out how to solve this problem. If
1:42:38
Speaker 1: they have enough time. So many people got on Obamacare
1:42:44
Speaker 1: when the premiums were waived and was considered free, and
1:42:48
Speaker 1: a lot of Republicans in Republican states also. They also
1:42:52
Speaker 1: suggest there's polling out there showing strong support for continuing
1:42:55
Speaker 1: these so called enhanced subsidies, notwithstanding the fact that it's
1:42:59
Speaker 1: going to set us into the even what three hundred
1:43:01
Speaker 1: and fifty plus billion dollars over the next ten years
1:43:04
Speaker 1: these were set to expire. Brian, I don't understand what
1:43:07
Speaker 1: the problem is that Democrats wrote in the original language
1:43:10
Speaker 1: the subsidies we are the cap on premiums was way
1:43:15
Speaker 1: because of COVID nineteen, and they put an end date
1:43:18
Speaker 1: that's this year. This had to come at some point, Brian,
1:43:22
Speaker 1: So I don't understand. It doesn't make any sense to
1:43:25
Speaker 1: me to continue to keep the government shut down.
1:43:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's where we are. We set up
1:43:30
Speaker 5: a program that was very popular and made it easy
1:43:33
Speaker 5: to be a part of it, and didn't really set
1:43:35
Speaker 5: up the funding mechanism. But we did that. We did
1:43:37
Speaker 5: have the funding mechanism set up, but that was the
1:43:39
Speaker 5: first thing that the Republicans were able to unwind years ago.
1:43:43
Speaker 5: But they were not able to unwind the program itself.
1:43:45
Speaker 5: So we have the expense without the ability to cover
1:43:49
Speaker 5: that expense the way it was originally designed.
1:43:52
Speaker 1: So yeah, the thing that they got rid of was, well,
1:43:54
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court said you can't force someone to buy
1:43:57
Speaker 1: something they don't want to buy. So the whole funding mechanism,
1:44:00
Speaker 1: which is every American must buy a health insurance policy. Hey,
1:44:03
Speaker 1: welcome to Obamacare and the market plans that was supposed
1:44:07
Speaker 1: to support all of the pre existing people that we're
1:44:10
Speaker 1: going to jump on and obviously create a tremendous claims demand.
1:44:14
Speaker 1: You know, actuarily, it was a nightmare as the outset,
1:44:16
Speaker 1: but once you were once you were legally told that
1:44:19
Speaker 1: you can't use the commerce clause to force someone to
1:44:22
Speaker 1: do something, then all the people that weren't forced to
1:44:24
Speaker 1: buy it didn't buy it. So the rest were a
1:44:26
Speaker 1: bunch of people with high claims exposure. That's a rescue disaster.
1:44:30
Speaker 5: And that there's a fancy insurance word called adverse selection,
1:44:33
Speaker 5: which basically means if you make it this easy for
1:44:35
Speaker 5: everybody to get but it's not required, then essentially what
1:44:39
Speaker 5: you're going to get is the people who need the
1:44:40
Speaker 5: insurance most and are the most expensive risks, and you're
1:44:43
Speaker 5: not going to get the funding from the people who
1:44:45
Speaker 5: would have just been writing the checks but otherwise would
1:44:47
Speaker 5: be healthy and not funding the system. So ironically, like
1:44:50
Speaker 5: you said, we can't force anybody to buy something they
1:44:52
Speaker 5: didn't want to buy, but we can force the government
1:44:54
Speaker 5: to buy a lot of stuff that it doesn't want
1:44:56
Speaker 5: to buy.
1:44:56
Speaker 1: We didn't really talk about that, No, we didn't. All right,
1:44:59
Speaker 1: So here's the genesis behind the shutdown. We are, regardless
1:45:03
Speaker 1: of the reasons why, still in a shutdown. The question
1:45:05
Speaker 1: is is it impacting the American people generally speaking? So
1:45:10
Speaker 1: in my experience in my circles, no, because I'm not
1:45:14
Speaker 1: friends with or acquainted with or close to anybody at
1:45:17
Speaker 1: least that's working for the federal government. Although I do
1:45:19
Speaker 1: have a niece that's currently unemployed in Washington, DC, so
1:45:22
Speaker 1: there's one. But is this a large and looming problem?
1:45:26
Speaker 1: And I suppose ultimately it is going to impact services
1:45:30
Speaker 1: that more and more people do rely on. So where
1:45:32
Speaker 1: is this taking us?
1:45:33
Speaker 5: Brian James, Well, it's already is impacting services that people
1:45:36
Speaker 5: rely on, as evidence by the fact that Washington is
1:45:39
Speaker 5: actually recalling staff just to print the CPI number because
1:45:43
Speaker 5: that's how many dominoes came out of this one report.
1:45:46
Speaker 5: So social Security, cost of living adjustments, inflation link bond,
1:45:50
Speaker 5: next year's four to one K caps are all things
1:45:52
Speaker 5: that are impacted by inflation, and somebody has to make
1:45:55
Speaker 5: these decisions. So yeah, they actually are bringing people back
1:45:59
Speaker 5: off of FURLO to make these decisions so that we
1:46:01
Speaker 5: can move forward. I don't know that. Maybe maybe we
1:46:04
Speaker 5: didn't think this one was going to last very long.
1:46:05
Speaker 5: We're on day thirty. By the end of this week
1:46:09
Speaker 5: we will be I believe this will be the longest
1:46:11
Speaker 5: shutdown in history. If I recall correctly, I think it
1:46:15
Speaker 5: was thirty four days. So end of Friday, we will
1:46:18
Speaker 5: be looking at the longest shutdown since that they're not
1:46:19
Speaker 5: even in the same room. I feel pretty confident we're
1:46:22
Speaker 5: going to break that record.
1:46:23
Speaker 1: So the further workers that do the Consumer Price Index
1:46:26
Speaker 1: are being brought back, so I guess they're essential and
1:46:28
Speaker 1: critical to the extent they need to be there to
1:46:31
Speaker 1: figure out so security checks, bonds and four one K issues.
1:46:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's exactly right. I mean, there are some things
1:46:36
Speaker 5: we just cannot get away with just not doing so
1:46:39
Speaker 5: in some of those things are the Bureau Labor Statistics
1:46:41
Speaker 5: is going to publish the September CPI eight thirty am
1:46:44
Speaker 5: on Thursday, the twenty fourth, that's this Thursday, doing that
1:46:47
Speaker 5: anyway despite the shutdown. That's why they recalled the staff.
1:46:51
Speaker 5: No other reports though, until the service is resumed back
1:46:53
Speaker 5: to normal. So that's going to keep statutory deadlines for
1:46:56
Speaker 5: programs that depend on CPI. In other words, we have
1:46:58
Speaker 5: things codified in law that say.
1:47:00
Speaker 4: We have to do this.
1:47:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, so there really is no choices kept to bring
1:47:02
Speaker 5: these people back. So that does mean the FED and
1:47:05
Speaker 5: the markets overall are kind of flying a flying blind,
1:47:08
Speaker 5: flying by wire, if you will, during this shutdown. That
1:47:11
Speaker 5: raises policy uncertainty heading it, and there's a FED meeting
1:47:14
Speaker 5: October twenty eighth and twenty ninth. Well, they're going to
1:47:16
Speaker 5: be struggling a little bit to get the complete picture.
1:47:19
Speaker 5: And of course social Security COLA timing as mentioned, that
1:47:22
Speaker 5: is supposed to be October twenty fourth, that'll come quickly
1:47:25
Speaker 5: after CPI. That's the plan right now. We'll see how
1:47:28
Speaker 5: this works.
1:47:28
Speaker 1: Out, which I'm guessing has the effect of taking some
1:47:32
Speaker 1: of the sting out of the government being shut downs.
1:47:34
Speaker 1: If those you know, like for example, the coal of
1:47:37
Speaker 1: the cost of living adjustment for Social Security, if our
1:47:40
Speaker 1: seniors get that, then they're not going to be feeling
1:47:42
Speaker 1: the sting of the government shutdown.
1:47:44
Speaker 5: Right And I would I would assume that the depending
1:47:47
Speaker 5: on the side of the aisle you're on, as always,
1:47:49
Speaker 5: actually probably both sides are hoping for this, that people
1:47:52
Speaker 5: would feel some pain, so they would push for resolution
1:47:54
Speaker 5: one way or another. Well, this is a reason for
1:47:56
Speaker 5: a large chunk of the population to go, eh, this
1:47:58
Speaker 5: doesn't affect me.
1:47:59
Speaker 1: Right, Well, in that pain, I suppose going back to
1:48:01
Speaker 1: the issue that's really keeping the government shut down, these
1:48:04
Speaker 1: supplements for Obamacare, twenty million or so folks getting that
1:48:09
Speaker 1: right now.
1:48:09
Speaker 5: I mean, that's the big, big number, absolutely for sure.
1:48:13
Speaker 5: And so so we're hung up on these the subsidies
1:48:17
Speaker 5: out there, and because there are a normal enormous amount
1:48:19
Speaker 5: of people who are going to go without health insurance
1:48:21
Speaker 5: under the current path, and I would find it hard
1:48:24
Speaker 5: to believe that there aren't some people that, no matter
1:48:26
Speaker 5: what happens, aren't going to lose it, because this is
1:48:28
Speaker 5: going to have to come down to some kind of
1:48:30
Speaker 5: begrudging compromise, which means some people are going to sacrifice
1:48:33
Speaker 5: the health insurance. Those people are going to get very loud,
1:48:35
Speaker 5: very soon, and I suspect many of them were out
1:48:37
Speaker 5: marching over this past weekend.
1:48:39
Speaker 1: Well, it's kind of funny in a certain way. If
1:48:41
Speaker 1: it's four hundred percent of poverty level, which is the
1:48:43
Speaker 1: cap that's going to go back into effect, this fault
1:48:45
Speaker 1: the people who are getting supplements that make more than that.
1:48:49
Speaker 1: Basically they're probably paying federal income tax, you.
1:48:54
Speaker 5: Would think so, right, So they've got enough income coming
1:48:56
Speaker 5: in it's the issue.
1:48:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, So ultimately they're getting a te xpair supported supplement
1:49:01
Speaker 1: to make it look like they don't have a premium,
1:49:04
Speaker 1: but they're ultimately paying the costs of that because they
1:49:06
Speaker 1: pay federal income tax, because all of this is coming
1:49:08
Speaker 1: out of the federal income tax revenue.
1:49:10
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's absolute right. So that's why we're are
1:49:13
Speaker 5: doing so much about it. It's going to move the
1:49:15
Speaker 5: needle for a lot of folks for sure, and both
1:49:17
Speaker 5: sides are going to use that to their advantage.
1:49:19
Speaker 1: All right, So I understand the col and so security
1:49:21
Speaker 1: with the CPI, I guess I get the bond component.
1:49:24
Speaker 1: But what of the four how does this impact the
1:49:26
Speaker 1: CPI index? How does it impact four one K?
1:49:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, so four oh one K and I and IRA
1:49:30
Speaker 5: limits too. So the IRS uses Q three CPI in
1:49:33
Speaker 5: their fall announcements to decide what the four oh one
1:49:36
Speaker 5: K limits are going to be. Now, I can't say
1:49:38
Speaker 5: this is going to Nobody is protesting because they can't
1:49:40
Speaker 5: put enough into their four oh one ks. And I
1:49:42
Speaker 5: think that's a pretty tiny swath of the population. But
1:49:45
Speaker 5: so so, the the early actuarial calls are looking at
1:49:48
Speaker 5: a deferral amount of twenty four five hundred for twenty
1:49:52
Speaker 5: six Now that would be up one thousand dollars. That's
1:49:54
Speaker 5: the amount that everybody under the sun can put in.
1:49:57
Speaker 5: If you're fifty plus, you could put in another eight
1:50:00
Speaker 5: thousand dollars, so that would total thirty two and a
1:50:02
Speaker 5: half for those over fifty. And then don't forget the
1:50:06
Speaker 5: Secure Act two point zero put a super catchup in
1:50:09
Speaker 5: for those age sixty to sixty three, and that would
1:50:12
Speaker 5: likely if you're in that window, you're likely around thirty five,
1:50:15
Speaker 5: seven and fifty. So again those numbers are going to
1:50:18
Speaker 5: depend on September CPI. I don't imagine there's gonna be
1:50:20
Speaker 5: a whole lot of protesting over that particular.
1:50:24
Speaker 1: No, no, And I suppose you're an mbuable position if
1:50:27
Speaker 1: you can afford to do that super contribution right basically
1:50:30
Speaker 1: hand over thirty four thousand dollars right exactly.
1:50:33
Speaker 5: And that's the the concessions that we're given. We for
1:50:36
Speaker 5: a long time have been making decisions to allow people
1:50:40
Speaker 5: to make it more attractive for people to fund their
1:50:42
Speaker 5: own retirements. And that's what this is all about. That
1:50:46
Speaker 5: this goes back to when I first started in the
1:50:48
Speaker 5: in for a bank in the late nineties. The big
1:50:51
Speaker 5: hue and cry was that they were eliminating the original
1:50:53
Speaker 5: pension that had cost the head inflation and all that
1:50:55
Speaker 5: stuff built into it. And I didn't know what it meant.
1:50:58
Speaker 5: I was young, I was twenty three and stupid. Now
1:51:00
Speaker 5: I kind of get it, But the whole point of
1:51:02
Speaker 5: that frustration was that was just a well, we're going
1:51:04
Speaker 5: to take the pension away, but we're going to make
1:51:06
Speaker 5: it better for you. We're going to increase the match
1:51:08
Speaker 5: on the four oh one k and all those kinds
1:51:10
Speaker 5: of things to make it more attractive for you to
1:51:11
Speaker 5: fund your own retirement as opposed to relying on your
1:51:14
Speaker 5: employer or the government. That works great as long as
1:51:16
Speaker 5: people have the money to do it and know how
1:51:19
Speaker 5: and understand how important it is, and that keeps me employed.
1:51:22
Speaker 1: Well, and maybe we're not doing so well, we'll probably
1:51:24
Speaker 1: go out of order and just use this opportunity as
1:51:26
Speaker 1: a segue to the report card Americans get when it
1:51:29
Speaker 1: comes to saving for retirement, another topic we'll talk about
1:51:32
Speaker 1: with Brian James coming up. Four to one k's are
1:51:34
Speaker 1: directly tied to the stock market more than ever or
1:51:37
Speaker 1: is that your financial planner's problem is at the right
1:51:39
Speaker 1: place to be. We'll continue with Brian James Money Monday.
1:51:41
Speaker 1: It's eight sixteen right now for at five KC the
1:51:43
Speaker 1: talk station, speaking of money matters for her see the
1:51:47
Speaker 1: talk station Hey twenty on a Monday, We're doing Money
1:51:52
Speaker 1: Monday with Brian James from all Worth Financial. All right, uh, Brian,
1:51:57
Speaker 1: I said, I want to take a little bit out
1:51:58
Speaker 1: of order since you mentioned about financial are about to
1:52:01
Speaker 1: preparing for retirement and we have the CPI that's coming
1:52:03
Speaker 1: out important, I guess necessary government work. So no worries
1:52:08
Speaker 1: about your coal adjustment for Social Security, But what of
1:52:11
Speaker 1: our own grade, the report card grade when it comes
1:52:15
Speaker 1: to Americans preparing for retirement, generally speaking, it does not
1:52:18
Speaker 1: look good, Brian.
1:52:19
Speaker 5: Well, and a lot of this is because it's just
1:52:22
Speaker 5: hard to do this with prices being where they are.
1:52:25
Speaker 5: There's only so much money left over. And we've made
1:52:27
Speaker 5: the as I was saying a little bit a little
1:52:29
Speaker 5: bit ago, as a country, as a society, we've made
1:52:31
Speaker 5: a pivot toward pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.
1:52:34
Speaker 5: So you need to save your own money. But if
1:52:36
Speaker 5: people don't have the ability to have a little surplus
1:52:39
Speaker 5: at the end of every month, and there's not much
1:52:41
Speaker 5: that's going to be able to go in. But so
1:52:43
Speaker 5: investors are and savers are banking up for that by
1:52:46
Speaker 5: being really really aggressive in their four o one K.
1:52:48
Speaker 5: So this is a study coming from Vanguarden Morning Star,
1:52:52
Speaker 5: coming through the Wall Street Journal. So workers in their
1:52:54
Speaker 5: late thirties now hold about eighty eight percent of their
1:52:56
Speaker 5: four oh one K assets in stocks or stock fun equivalents,
1:53:00
Speaker 5: and that's up from about eighty two percent a decade ago.
1:53:03
Speaker 5: That makes logical sense to me. I'm not concerned about that.
1:53:06
Speaker 5: I don't think you can be too aggressive if you're
1:53:08
Speaker 5: in your late thirties when you're talking about a four
1:53:10
Speaker 5: oh one K. And what we're really talking about here, Brian,
1:53:13
Speaker 5: is these people who have eighty eight percent of their
1:53:15
Speaker 5: four to one K assets and they're in their late thirties.
1:53:17
Speaker 5: That means they got twelve percent on the bond side,
1:53:20
Speaker 5: on the fixed income side, There's only so much you
1:53:22
Speaker 5: can do with a four oh one K. So though
1:53:23
Speaker 5: there aren't exotic holdings out there, I personally believe if
1:53:26
Speaker 5: you're in your thirties you shouldn't have any bonds. What point,
1:53:29
Speaker 5: what difference does it make? You're looking at a thirty
1:53:31
Speaker 5: plus year timeframe to touch these assets, and if you're
1:53:35
Speaker 5: handling things the right way, then you shouldn't be panicking
1:53:37
Speaker 5: when the market wobbles anyway. So frankly, I think if
1:53:40
Speaker 5: you're in your thirties, be one hundred percent stocks. I'm
1:53:42
Speaker 5: fifty one, Brian, and I myself am one hundred percent stocks.
1:53:45
Speaker 5: I don't care. The market's going to kick me around
1:53:47
Speaker 5: two or three more times before I actually retire in
1:53:49
Speaker 5: the next ten to fifteen years, and I'm not going
1:53:51
Speaker 5: to panic because I know how the market works and
1:53:53
Speaker 5: know my market history. So I think people are simply
1:53:55
Speaker 5: looking at what do I need to do to make
1:53:57
Speaker 5: this ship float for me, because they don't have a
1:53:58
Speaker 5: pension anymore. If I'm in my late thirties, then social
1:54:01
Speaker 5: Security the best way to plan for that is probably
1:54:04
Speaker 5: that it's going to be reduced by about twenty five
1:54:06
Speaker 5: to thirty percent, because that's unless we actually fix that
1:54:09
Speaker 5: funding mechanism and tax people more somehow. So if I
1:54:12
Speaker 5: have to grow my own assets, I may as well
1:54:14
Speaker 5: do it the best way possible, and that is stocks,
1:54:16
Speaker 5: not bond. So I'm not concerned about that particular point.
1:54:19
Speaker 1: Okay, Now when it comes to the folks that are
1:54:23
Speaker 1: looking at a very small amount left over after the
1:54:25
Speaker 1: necessary bills are concerned. Is there a recommendation you can
1:54:29
Speaker 1: give to those folks in order to at least start
1:54:31
Speaker 1: the process. I mean, if you have just a little bit,
1:54:33
Speaker 1: it's better than doing nothing in further in so of
1:54:35
Speaker 1: your retirement. I mean, I fortunately was really not placed
1:54:40
Speaker 1: in that position too much, most notably because I married
1:54:42
Speaker 1: out of my element. Both of us had a salary
1:54:44
Speaker 1: that we could afford to put there collectively some portion
1:54:47
Speaker 1: of our total pile of money toward retirement. So not
1:54:50
Speaker 1: everybody has the benefit of that.
1:54:52
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's absolutely true, and those are the people. Unfortunately,
1:54:55
Speaker 5: they're going to be struggling because our our retirement system
1:54:58
Speaker 5: we have chosen as a society by the leaders we've
1:55:01
Speaker 5: put in office. We have chosen to build it all
1:55:03
Speaker 5: based off of the success of publicly traded companies. That's
1:55:06
Speaker 5: and investors are simply reacting to what is put in
1:55:09
Speaker 5: front of them. There just isn't much else out there
1:55:11
Speaker 5: that you can do when when prices are rising as
1:55:13
Speaker 5: fast as they are, when it's as expensive to live
1:55:16
Speaker 5: as it currently is, you just need something that's going
1:55:18
Speaker 5: to keep up with it, and stock market is just
1:55:20
Speaker 5: about the only thing out there to do that. And
1:55:24
Speaker 5: go ahead.
1:55:24
Speaker 1: I was just going to say, wasn't it designed for that?
1:55:27
Speaker 1: Purpose to boasted in bolster capitalism and hopefully to encourage
1:55:31
Speaker 1: investment in American companies because we started this process. You know,
1:55:35
Speaker 1: the best place to invest in the world in terms
1:55:38
Speaker 1: of return on investment is going to be American companies.
1:55:40
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it still is and will be for a
1:55:42
Speaker 5: long time to come because just because of what we
1:55:44
Speaker 5: have spent hundreds of years building. But what that does,
1:55:46
Speaker 5: that's what this is why I always refer to us
1:55:48
Speaker 5: as the we're the United States a profit margin. That
1:55:50
Speaker 5: means every decision that we make, it has an eye
1:55:53
Speaker 5: toward making sure that our publicly traded companies that feel
1:55:57
Speaker 5: like they can make a profit to keep them here
1:56:00
Speaker 5: because there's nothing stopping a company and that this could
1:56:02
Speaker 5: happen right for for those who are worried about you know,
1:56:04
Speaker 5: the United States is going to need to tax itself
1:56:06
Speaker 5: to death and so forth. So I don't want to
1:56:07
Speaker 5: be in the US stock market, Well why wouldn't you,
1:56:09
Speaker 5: Because there's no entity more able to pick up and
1:56:12
Speaker 5: move than the richest ones on the face of the earth.
1:56:15
Speaker 5: So if our tax policies become such that it's unattractive
1:56:17
Speaker 5: to do business here, then they simply won't they'll pick
1:56:20
Speaker 5: up and move to another company, keep or to another country,
1:56:23
Speaker 5: keep selling the same products and services that they do
1:56:25
Speaker 5: in a more taxable or a more tax efficient manner.
1:56:28
Speaker 5: So I would still say the US stock market is
1:56:30
Speaker 5: the safest growth oriented type of market to be in
1:56:33
Speaker 5: because of that flexibility, those companies won't they don't have
1:56:35
Speaker 5: to stay US. And I'm not saying this is going
1:56:37
Speaker 5: to happen anytime soon. I'm just saying that I don't
1:56:39
Speaker 5: think they're sweating it too much that they'd be painted
1:56:41
Speaker 5: into a corner and simply have to pay more taxes
1:56:44
Speaker 5: without some kind of a reaction.
1:56:45
Speaker 1: All right, Brian James, I'll hold you over for one
1:56:47
Speaker 1: more segment, and I want to address something else that
1:56:49
Speaker 1: I know people can invest in relative comparative or compared
1:56:52
Speaker 1: to the stock market, but I'm scratching my head over
1:56:55
Speaker 1: whether or not people might already be invested in it.
1:56:57
Speaker 1: Stick around more with Brian James from Allworth Financial. Well,
1:57:00
Speaker 1: it's eight twenty five right now, fifty five KR CD
1:57:02
Speaker 1: talk station, fifty five station A twenty nine fifty five
1:57:06
Speaker 1: care CD talk station. Brian Thomas and Brian James, Money Monday,
1:57:09
Speaker 1: Getting that one more segment in Brian James, we don't
1:57:12
Speaker 1: talk about very often, and I think when we have
1:57:15
Speaker 1: talked about it as an investment vehicle, I think you've
1:57:18
Speaker 1: kind of and I don't want to put words in
1:57:19
Speaker 1: your mouth. That's what you're there for to correct me
1:57:21
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, But considering it probably not a good idea,
1:57:24
Speaker 1: but one of the things I'm looking at. Since January
1:57:26
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, the price of gold has gone through
1:57:30
Speaker 1: the roof. I mean, it was trading at eighteen hundred
1:57:32
Speaker 1: dollars in January twenty three and it's at right now
1:57:35
Speaker 1: forty three hundred dollars an ounce. So people who've been
1:57:39
Speaker 1: in that investment for the last couple of years have
1:57:41
Speaker 1: obviously seen a pretty significant return, at least in so
1:57:43
Speaker 1: far as a component of a four oh one K
1:57:45
Speaker 1: or retirement investment vehicle. Is that something you can you
1:57:49
Speaker 1: should consider. I mean, the idea of sitting on physical
1:57:53
Speaker 1: gold always looked stupid to me because you can't eat it.
1:57:56
Speaker 1: In a bad situation, the Fiat currency goes belly up.
1:58:00
Speaker 1: It may be worth something, but you can't eat it.
1:58:03
Speaker 1: You can't slice off a piece of it to buy something.
1:58:05
Speaker 1: I wouldn't accept it as payment for anything. I'd be
1:58:07
Speaker 1: looking for food and ammunition and whatever else hell else
1:58:11
Speaker 1: it is, I'd find myself needed in a desperate situation.
1:58:13
Speaker 1: But in terms of an investment vehicle, Brian, where are
1:58:16
Speaker 1: you on gold and why has it gone up so much?
1:58:18
Speaker 5: Well, gold gold, yeah, is gaining a lot of attention.
1:58:21
Speaker 5: As you mentioned, it's over four thousand bucks per troy
1:58:23
Speaker 5: ounce for the first time, and this is about the
1:58:26
Speaker 5: strongest year since the late seventies. Because of that rise,
1:58:30
Speaker 5: and of course there are other there are new ways
1:58:32
Speaker 5: to get a hold of it as well, so that's
1:58:33
Speaker 5: driving demand. It used to be you can only buy
1:58:36
Speaker 5: gold bullion and stick it in the safe for the
1:58:37
Speaker 5: safety deposit bus forever, but now you can use exchange
1:58:40
Speaker 5: traded funds. Gold backed exchange traded funds saw their largest
1:58:43
Speaker 5: semi annual inflow in several years this year. Of course,
1:58:46
Speaker 5: not too surprised to hear that with everything, so the
1:58:48
Speaker 5: reason this is happening is all of of course, when
1:58:51
Speaker 5: gold runs whenever, there's instability in the wind, so geopolitical
1:58:55
Speaker 5: macroeconomic uncertainty. These are the weakening dollar, inflation concerns, central
1:58:59
Speaker 5: bank diverse fy cation, and just sort of the general
1:59:03
Speaker 5: chaos that our current government is in for a lot
1:59:04
Speaker 5: of reasons. So gold can be appealing as a hedge
1:59:08
Speaker 5: or kind of a safe haven when when interest rates
1:59:11
Speaker 5: are low, when confidence and major currencies kind of falls
1:59:15
Speaker 5: apart a little bit. But but to your point, it's
1:59:18
Speaker 5: not an entity. It's not a vehicle that you can use.
1:59:21
Speaker 5: You can't expect it to come out with a new product.
1:59:23
Speaker 5: It's not going to generate dividends. It's not going to
1:59:25
Speaker 5: find a new market. It's simply something. It's a commodity.
1:59:28
Speaker 5: It's it's worth what people think it's worth. So those
1:59:31
Speaker 5: are the most dangerous kinds of investments to invest in
1:59:34
Speaker 5: after the run has happened, meaning that since it's only
1:59:38
Speaker 5: worth what people think it's worth, the herd is eventually
1:59:41
Speaker 5: gonna peter out. There's going to be fewer people rushing
1:59:43
Speaker 5: into it.
1:59:43
Speaker 1: That's well, let me ask you this. There is I
1:59:45
Speaker 1: mean ignoring the demand for jewelry, gold and jewelry whatever.
1:59:50
Speaker 1: That's that's a luxury item that people can do with that.
1:59:53
Speaker 1: I guess what do we know what like some idea
1:59:55
Speaker 1: of what the global demand is for industrial use? In
1:59:58
Speaker 1: other words, this stuff that we really need to use
2:00:01
Speaker 1: gold for If we knew that number, we could kind
2:00:03
Speaker 1: of separate the week from the chaff and remove some
2:00:05
Speaker 1: of that flexibility out in there.
2:00:07
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it is, of course used. When we talk
2:00:09
Speaker 5: about it, we're usually talking about the herd stampeding into
2:00:13
Speaker 5: it because of the general uncertainty that's out there, right, So,
2:00:19
Speaker 5: but to give give some numbers, So in twenty twenty four,
2:00:21
Speaker 5: for example, in jewelry, technology and other industrial that there's
2:00:26
Speaker 5: a lot. It's used a lot in dentistry and non
2:00:28
Speaker 5: electronic types of things exactly. Yeah, so there's plenty of
2:00:31
Speaker 5: uses out there, but that was only seven percent of
2:00:33
Speaker 5: total demand in twenty twenty four. Oh really, yeah, back
2:00:37
Speaker 5: those types of electronics and that kind of thing. The
2:00:40
Speaker 5: demand largely comes from people kind of wanting to hoard it.
2:00:42
Speaker 5: That's there's not as much gold as you might think
2:00:45
Speaker 5: out there too.
2:00:45
Speaker 1: Well, And that's the thing that always bothered me about
2:00:48
Speaker 1: as an investmentry, because it is volatile in the sense
2:00:50
Speaker 1: that there are the gold bugs out there who do
2:00:53
Speaker 1: believe the fiat currency is going to collapse. It's like bitcoin,
2:00:56
Speaker 1: though it's always expressed in fiat currency value.
2:01:01
Speaker 5: That's right, And that's one of the reasons if you're
2:01:03
Speaker 5: buying gold, you're kind of resistant to fiat currency in general.
2:01:06
Speaker 5: You're wanting to go back to, you know, something that
2:01:08
Speaker 5: had some kind of standard besides a general agreement of
2:01:11
Speaker 5: what something is worth. But ironically that's the same thing
2:01:13
Speaker 5: that gold is. That's what a commodity is. Everybody agrees
2:01:16
Speaker 5: it's worth this particular amount, and that causes price wings
2:01:20
Speaker 5: that will trigger runs in that same assset as well
2:01:23
Speaker 5: as you know, runs in and runs out. And so
2:01:25
Speaker 5: that would probably be the next step is when does
2:01:27
Speaker 5: the herd decide that that this this demand cycle is
2:01:30
Speaker 5: over for it and goes the other way.
2:01:31
Speaker 1: Well, and it's one of a seemingly unlimited multitude of
2:01:36
Speaker 1: items that are used, you know, every single day in
2:01:38
Speaker 1: manufacturing or otherwise, like platinum and you know, rare earth
2:01:42
Speaker 1: minerals are obviously in high demand now. So there's a
2:01:44
Speaker 1: whole bunch of things that could sort of you could
2:01:46
Speaker 1: you could choose other than gold is something to invest in,
2:01:49
Speaker 1: right if you're just paying attention to where the demand.
2:01:51
Speaker 6: Is, right.
2:01:52
Speaker 5: Negelig said that the gold is not used in that
2:01:55
Speaker 5: many industrial type uses, such as some of the other
2:01:59
Speaker 5: things like that all the devices of the stuff that
2:02:01
Speaker 5: goes into cell phones that we always argue about, Right,
2:02:04
Speaker 5: gold is just not a thing. Copper, on the other hand,
2:02:06
Speaker 5: copper is everywhere. Copper is an indicator of economic feast
2:02:10
Speaker 5: or famine based on how much copper we're consuming. That
2:02:12
Speaker 5: usually drives the economy. But gold doesn't show up anywhere
2:02:15
Speaker 5: except for in the overall investor sentiment.
2:02:17
Speaker 1: And going back to my let's say my financial planner,
2:02:21
Speaker 1: a good you know, fee based financial planner that does
2:02:23
Speaker 1: a fuciary obligation to you. Are they including typically one
2:02:27
Speaker 1: of these mixed mutual funds that you mentioned that it
2:02:30
Speaker 1: contains some of these industrial needed always in demand gold, platinum,
2:02:36
Speaker 1: and other minerals and items. Are am I invested in
2:02:39
Speaker 1: that for example?
2:02:40
Speaker 5: Yeah, probably a small percentage, But it's not going to
2:02:43
Speaker 5: be gold, because again, gold is just it's just functioning
2:02:46
Speaker 5: like a commodity. But for those other types of things,
2:02:48
Speaker 5: and there's lots of ways to do it. You don't
2:02:49
Speaker 5: have to invest strictly in that asset. You might invest
2:02:52
Speaker 5: in a in a miner of whatever that asset is,
2:02:55
Speaker 5: some company that produces it, pulls it out of the
2:02:57
Speaker 5: ground and processes it makes it ready for industry. That's
2:02:59
Speaker 5: different then simply buying gold bullion and sticking it in
2:03:02
Speaker 5: a box somewhere and declaring what it's worth on a
2:03:04
Speaker 5: daily basis.
2:03:05
Speaker 1: All right, well, I'm glad I asked you the question.
2:03:07

2:04:30
Speaker 1: A lot about Every time I talk to you, Patty,
2:04:34
Speaker 1: I think of my father. I mean, how could I
2:04:36
Speaker 1: not know? I know he was in the same position
2:04:40
Speaker 1: that so many folks that you've helped out were in, notably,
2:04:44
Speaker 1: and it's difficult for me to, you know, acknowledge that
2:04:46
Speaker 1: my father had to deal with incontinence issues. But when
2:04:49
Speaker 1: you are a severely disabled Alzheimer's person, that is a common, common,
2:04:53
Speaker 1: almost ubiquitous thing you're going to face. And so he
2:04:57
Speaker 1: struggled with that and he was taken care of so
2:04:59
Speaker 1: well my mom, I mean she was there all the
2:05:01
Speaker 1: time to make sure that he was dealt with. But
2:05:03
Speaker 1: move down to the next room and find out what's
2:05:06
Speaker 1: going on there. You find out someone has been wallowing
2:05:08
Speaker 1: in their own filth now for four hours.
2:05:11
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's just they're part of the issue we're dealing
2:05:14
Speaker 14: with right now is spapping issues. You know, in long
2:05:17
Speaker 14: term care facilities, they don't really have the technology or
2:05:21
Speaker 14: the resources unless they have the biling system, which is
2:05:26
Speaker 14: something that we of course sponsor and provide. But technology
2:05:31
Speaker 14: for seniors is just it's so incredibly important. I mean,
2:05:34
Speaker 14: there are just a few major factors. Number one, the incontinence.
2:05:39
Speaker 14: You know, why is it that it's right for somebody
2:05:42
Speaker 14: to sit in there yeurin in their feces for even
2:05:45
Speaker 14: over an hour, much less eight to twelve hours.
2:05:48
Speaker 1: Oh I can Number one, I can't let that pass
2:05:50
Speaker 1: without energetic in a dose of levity and disdain for
2:05:53
Speaker 1: those people. Who diaper up and head on over to
2:05:55
Speaker 1: the casino and wallow in their own filth voluntarily because
2:05:58
Speaker 1: they don't want to leave the slow machine. Sorry, had
2:06:01
Speaker 1: to say it, Patty. You can go on and take
2:06:03
Speaker 1: back over the conversation.
2:06:05
Speaker 14: Oh wow, Okay, well they do that that I did
2:06:10
Speaker 14: not know that.
2:06:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, welcome to knowledge.
2:06:13
Speaker 3: Yeah.
2:06:14
Speaker 14: But secondly, you know, as you get older, there's so
2:06:16
Speaker 14: many things that occur with regards to the pull sox.
2:06:19
Speaker 14: You know, my dad last December, his pul sox started
2:06:23
Speaker 14: dropping below ninety and then he would pass out, and
2:06:26
Speaker 14: then he would fall and then that would you know,
2:06:28
Speaker 14: create so many other issues. And so we actually have
2:06:32
Speaker 14: this reswearable that is the only five to ten k
2:06:36
Speaker 14: FDA approved reswearable in the United States, even the Apple
2:06:41
Speaker 14: Watch and the other the Whoop and all the ones
2:06:43
Speaker 14: that are out there, because I've had them, I've tried them.
2:06:45
Speaker 14: They don't go below ninety. Like they don't detect seniors.
2:06:48
Speaker 14: Seniors are different, Like my dad can't even get a
2:06:51
Speaker 14: pull sox on his finger, you know, the only thing
2:06:54
Speaker 14: he can capture is the wrist and the ear. So
2:06:58
Speaker 14: it's very important that this technology is built for seniors,
2:07:02
Speaker 14: not for like professional athletes or people like you or
2:07:05
Speaker 14: me or anything like that. It's got to read appropriately.
2:07:08
Speaker 14: And most recently on the last show that we did, Brian,
2:07:12
Speaker 14: we didn't realize this was such an issue.
2:07:14
Speaker 3: You know.
2:07:14
Speaker 14: I mentioned about the skin tears that.
2:07:16
Speaker 6: My dad.
2:07:18
Speaker 14: And the technology that we have with regards to our
2:07:21
Speaker 14: bandages and the silicon composite dressings, and I mean there's
2:07:24
Speaker 14: not any other dressing in the country. It's number one
2:07:28
Speaker 14: woundcare and orthopedics. Surgeons all over the country use them.
2:07:33
Speaker 14: They're actually made by a local company out of Monroe,
2:07:37
Speaker 14: So again another Ohio based company. And when I mentioned
2:07:40
Speaker 14: it's the only technology that we partner with at Hartford Seniors,
2:07:44
Speaker 14: it's the only company that came forward and.
2:07:46
Speaker 3: Said, hey, we have a product that we want to
2:07:48
Speaker 3: be able.
2:07:49
Speaker 14: To give you all, to be able to get to seniors.
2:07:53
Speaker 14: I've used them on my dad. I mean even just
2:07:55
Speaker 14: this weekend we were at a family wedding and he
2:07:57
Speaker 14: bumps into a golf cart getting on it to write
2:08:00
Speaker 14: it and his entire shin is bleeding everywhere because that's
2:08:05
Speaker 14: what happened.
2:08:06
Speaker 1: Skin.
2:08:07
Speaker 14: Yeah, Tishue paper skin. So since your last since the
2:08:12
Speaker 14: last meeting we were on. We actually have had so
2:08:16
Speaker 14: many seniors. God loves Charlene and her husband in Over
2:08:20
Speaker 14: and Earlinger, Kentucky who listened to you faithfully. Her and
2:08:25
Speaker 14: her husband have immaculate degeneration and they can't get out.
2:08:28
Speaker 6: So we ship them.
2:08:29
Speaker 14: Some Debbie called about her dad who is in the keys.
2:08:35
Speaker 14: The paper skin senior issue is tragic, and we got
2:08:40
Speaker 14: boxes out to everybody and they are calling and they
2:08:44
Speaker 14: are beyond grateful that what one doesn't hear their skin,
2:08:48
Speaker 14: it's not causing any other issues. So those are actually
2:08:51
Speaker 14: up on our website. Now I see now, yes, different sizes.
2:08:59
Speaker 14: If somebody he's a bleeder, we have super absorbent. And
2:09:03
Speaker 14: then the other thing in the nursing home is if
2:09:06
Speaker 14: somebody's bedridden and they're just sitting and they're not getting
2:09:10
Speaker 14: up to walk or anything, that sacral bone in that back,
2:09:14
Speaker 14: you know area, they're going to get a bed sore.
2:09:17
Speaker 14: So it's there now if a loved one that wants
2:09:20
Speaker 14: to go visit them can buy them and take them
2:09:22
Speaker 14: and put them on. But the most exciting piece of this, Brian,
2:09:27
Speaker 14: is we can actually go into homes now, so if
2:09:31
Speaker 14: somebody is caring for their family at home versus the
2:09:34
Speaker 14: nursing home. Please contact us because we want to help you.
2:09:39
Speaker 14: We want to get the technology set up in your home.
2:09:41
Speaker 14: We want to get the skincare products to your home

2:09:55
Speaker 1: I was thinking, and I don't want to suggest something
2:09:57
Speaker 1: out of school here, but you talk about you know
2:09:58
Speaker 1: you're going to get a bed sore. You are disabled,
2:10:01
Speaker 1: you're not getting up and moving around. Do you think
2:10:03
Speaker 1: you could place one of these larger bandages sort of
2:10:05
Speaker 1: as a preventative for that on the backside of a patient,
2:10:09
Speaker 1: just asking we do.
2:10:11
Speaker 14: No, I actually have one of my mom and dad
2:10:13
Speaker 14: because even though they are they live at home, they
2:10:16
Speaker 14: are active, They sit more than any mus two, right,
2:10:20
Speaker 14: So we actually do have one on them just because
2:10:24
Speaker 14: it's tender skin. It breaks down. It's right at that
2:10:26
Speaker 14: tailbone and anything will just break that.
2:10:30
Speaker 1: Well. I'm sure there's a lot of folks in the
2:10:32
Speaker 1: listening audience right now going, oh yeah, absolutely. The last
2:10:35
Speaker 1: time I used a band aid, for example, when I
2:10:37
Speaker 1: pulled the band aid off, I got a whole bunch
2:10:39
Speaker 1: of skin along with the pad that was covering the wound. Yet,

2:11:23
Speaker 1: click on the link. Later in today, Patty Scott's on
2:11:25
Speaker 1: the phone from Hartford Seniors. Is so impressed with the
2:11:27
Speaker 1: work that they're doing and just amazed by this technology.
2:11:31
Speaker 1: Patty and I wanted you an opportunity. And also I
2:11:33
Speaker 1: have to put you on the spot because I am
2:11:35
Speaker 1: looking at all the different wound care treatments you have
2:11:37
Speaker 1: over on the website, but the incontinence care system and
2:11:40
Speaker 1: the wellness screening watch that you alluded to earlier, they're
2:11:43
Speaker 1: presently not available or is there a way for folks
2:11:46
Speaker 1: to get those? And as we yet approach the incommon
2:11:50
Speaker 1: care system go ahead.
2:11:52
Speaker 6: Yeah.
2:11:52
Speaker 14: The reason why we put on there we want people
2:11:54
Speaker 14: to call us. It is available, but it's not something
2:11:57
Speaker 14: that you can just purchase and just know how to
2:12:00
Speaker 14: use it. We want to, you know, actually come to
2:12:02
Speaker 14: your home. Help you make sure that your parent or
2:12:07
Speaker 14: loved one or someone that's disabled. So we want you
2:12:10
Speaker 14: to make the phone call it is available. We can
2:12:13
Speaker 14: make sure that we get it to you. I'm actually
2:12:15
Speaker 14: wearing one of the watches now. I wear it around
2:12:17
Speaker 14: twenty four to seven because I want people to see it.
2:12:20
Speaker 14: I want them to ask about it.
2:12:22
Speaker 3: You know.
2:12:23
Speaker 14: I was in Target the other day and I overheard
2:12:26
Speaker 14: a conversation and I walked right up to someone and said,
2:12:29
Speaker 14: I think this can help you because they were stressing
2:12:32
Speaker 14: over their mother being on oxygen coming home from a facility.
2:12:37
Speaker 14: You know, my dad a year ago in December, Brian,
2:12:40
Speaker 14: if you remember, was on oxygen because of pneumonia he
2:12:43
Speaker 14: had caught and we were able to use this watch
2:12:48
Speaker 14: wearable to get him off of oxygen.
2:12:51
Speaker 3: I'm happy to.
2:12:52
Speaker 14: Say he has beneficially off his oxygen now. He has
2:12:56
Speaker 14: congest a part failure and he also had COPD and
2:13:00
Speaker 14: we were able to get him off his oxygen. He's
2:13:02
Speaker 14: been off a month now, and let me tell you why.
2:13:04
Speaker 14: Because for him it was about distance. You know, he
2:13:07
Speaker 14: had no clue after he'd walk a certain period of
2:13:10
Speaker 14: time that his pull sox would drop oh and then
2:13:13
Speaker 14: he would fall right. And so what this has done
2:13:17
Speaker 14: is it allows It alerts the cell phone, It alerts him,
2:13:22
Speaker 14: it alerts me, It alerts my son, it alerts to
2:13:25
Speaker 14: my daughter. Because I've set up like a whole army
2:13:27
Speaker 14: around him on the phone and we're able to actually
2:13:30
Speaker 14: call and say Dad or you okay, and he's like, oh, yeah,
2:13:33
Speaker 14: I'm fine. But he's realized now, okay, maybe he can
2:13:37
Speaker 14: only go one hundred and twenty five feet before he
2:13:39
Speaker 14: needs to sit down and regain his breath. But you
2:13:43
Speaker 14: talk about quality of life, my dad, I mean, he
2:13:47
Speaker 14: always said he felt like a hog tied to a
2:13:49
Speaker 14: tree with the oxygen concentrator all over his house, tangled up,
2:13:55
Speaker 14: and it was just at eighty eight years old, you
2:13:57
Speaker 14: work so hard. My mom would always say, the only
2:13:59
Speaker 14: thing about.
2:14:00
Speaker 6: Golden years is my urine.
2:14:02
Speaker 14: And you know it's just it's dignity. You know, it's dignity.
2:14:09
Speaker 1: It certainly is. So the watch itself is monitoring the
2:14:13
Speaker 1: oxygen level in your dad, you have it set up, sure,
2:14:16
Speaker 1: oh go ahead, yeah, what else?
2:14:18
Speaker 14: It also it does temperature. So for example, a couple
2:14:23
Speaker 14: of weeks ago, I got an alert that is templing up,
2:14:27
Speaker 14: and I was like, what's going on with that? And
2:14:30
Speaker 14: we caught a uti before it became really really bad.
2:14:33
Speaker 14: Oh didn't realize, but it was most people going to realize.
2:14:37
Speaker 14: Temperatures can spike pretty quickly. So and you know, if
2:14:42
Speaker 14: you're not there, and you know, if you're like my parents,
2:14:45
Speaker 14: they act like they're superwoman and Superman and they just
2:14:48
Speaker 14: so you know, they might feel bad, but they don't
2:14:50
Speaker 14: really take their temperature anymore.
2:14:51
Speaker 3: Sure you know what I'm saying.
2:14:53
Speaker 14: So it does temperature, it does heart rate, it does
2:14:57
Speaker 14: pulse socks. It's soon to do. We're in the process
2:15:01
Speaker 14: of testing a real true F five ten K blood pressure,
2:15:07
Speaker 14: which that's a whole other animal in itself. The one
2:15:09
Speaker 14: we am now does not, but we're testing it and
2:15:12
Speaker 14: the current new watch that we have will eventually be
2:15:15
Speaker 14: able to do that. But right now, heart rate, temperature,
2:15:18
Speaker 14: pulse sox to a t. It's amazing.
2:15:21
Speaker 1: Right to whoever's phone you want to set up to
2:15:23
Speaker 1: join up, and that's what hard for.
2:15:25
Speaker 14: I can set people up to have your phone ring
2:15:27
Speaker 14: on my mom and dad.
2:15:30
Speaker 1: Great, that's funny, and you're there to help. That's why
2:15:34
Speaker 1: it says it's not available. To just call the number.
2:15:36
Speaker 1: It's right there in the little call the number.
2:15:38
Speaker 3: Yeah.
2:15:38
Speaker 1: Now, the same thing goes with the incontinence care system,
2:15:40
Speaker 1: which is how you and I were first met, blown
2:15:43
Speaker 1: away by this amazing technology. It was one hundred bucks,
2:15:46
Speaker 1: and then you will know exactly when there has been
2:15:49
Speaker 1: an accident. The diaper reflects the moisture or whatever else.
2:15:52
Speaker 1: Reading it alerts you the same way the watch alurts you.
2:15:54
Speaker 1: And that's what's so great about it being in long
2:15:57
Speaker 1: term care facilities and dementia care facilities because the staffing issues.
2:16:01
Speaker 1: It goes back to that a handful of staff can't
2:16:04
Speaker 1: cover one hundred rooms in a building. They're just doing
2:16:07
Speaker 1: it on a schedule. They're going into that room every
2:16:09
Speaker 1: four hours or whatever it says. But you know what,
2:16:11
Speaker 1: they walk out of that room and that's when mom
2:16:12
Speaker 1: or dad soils themselves, leading them to wallow in it
2:16:15
Speaker 1: for the next four hours until they get back on
2:16:17
Speaker 1: the schedule. No in content's care system, alarm goes off,
2:16:20
Speaker 1: dingding LARTs the nurse. We got an issue in room fifteen,
2:16:23
Speaker 1: Get over there right now. Done. Problem solved one hundred percent.
2:16:26
Speaker 14: And so that just to reiterate, it does doom moisture.
2:16:30
Speaker 14: It also tracks if someone has not urinated, so we
2:16:33
Speaker 14: can determine if there's potentially the hydration issue, because if
2:16:38
Speaker 14: let's think about it, if somebody hasn't urinated in six hours,
2:16:42
Speaker 14: that might need to indicate you might need to push
2:16:44
Speaker 14: some fluids because there could be a dehydration issue. A
2:16:47
Speaker 14: lot of seniors don't drink. They just it's just not
2:16:50
Speaker 14: a part of their it's you know, they just it's
2:16:53
Speaker 14: an effort.
2:16:53
Speaker 13: You know.
2:16:54
Speaker 14: Alsovm IT records VMS, so if someone hasn't had to
2:16:59
Speaker 14: be again, that could constitute potentially you know, a fecal
2:17:04
Speaker 14: impaction potentially, but again we're not there to diagnose. We're
2:17:08
Speaker 14: just there to get a professional there.
2:17:10
Speaker 4: To diagnose it.
2:17:12
Speaker 14: And this is just alert response technology. It also does temperature,
2:17:16
Speaker 14: so the brief system does temperature as well. Again, spiking
2:17:20
Speaker 14: a fever immediately could be pneumonia. It could be all
2:17:23
Speaker 14: kinds of different things that you just don't know because
2:17:27
Speaker 14: you're not there, and the sooner you can get that
2:17:30
Speaker 14: detected and get somebody on an antibiotic. I mean, pneumonia
2:17:34
Speaker 14: especially could make a difference of a hospital visit literally
2:17:38
Speaker 14: if you can catch it in time and then turning
2:17:40
Speaker 14: and positioning. You know, our attorney Barbara Applegade, who set
2:17:46
Speaker 14: up for a nonprofit, who was so passionate, were so
2:17:48
Speaker 14: grateful to her for that. At cors Bassett, you know,
2:17:51
Speaker 14: her mom died in a nursing home because she'd had
2:17:54
Speaker 14: hip surgery and they left her on her left side
2:17:58
Speaker 14: where she'd had hip surgery and she had a stage
2:18:00
Speaker 14: for a wound and it went to the bone and
2:18:02
Speaker 14: it killed her. So turning and positioning, So if someone
2:18:06
Speaker 14: has a wound on their back or their side or
2:18:10
Speaker 14: someplace and they're not to be there, you can set
2:18:12
Speaker 14: the system to alert that if they roll on to
2:18:15
Speaker 14: that side. Everybody has a favorite side. If you roll
2:18:18
Speaker 14: on to the side, it'll alert so they can roll
2:18:21
Speaker 14: them back over.
2:18:22
Speaker 1: Amazing. You got it all, and you can keep getting
2:18:24
Speaker 1: better every single time. I mean you're working on it constantly,
2:18:27
Speaker 1: always improving. But it's available for my listeners, it's available
2:18:30
Speaker 1: for everyone. If you're in a hospital facility, a nursing facility,
2:18:34
Speaker 1: get in touch with Heart for seniors, if you're home,
2:18:36
Speaker 1: you're caring for someone that's dealing with these issues, you're
2:18:38
Speaker 1: going to know real time, right away, all these very
2:18:41
Speaker 1: important things to get out in front of the problems
2:18:43
Speaker 1: before they end up well, maybe killing your loved one.
2:18:45
