• 3:44
  Speaker 1: on the Morning show as well. Hey, look, crime in
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: downtown Cincinnati. It's an issue on the ballot. I had
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: quite a lot of gun play in downtown Cincinnati over
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the weekend. Oh congratulations, since I please investigate and reports
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: of shots fired Saturday morning in Coryville. Our twenty seven
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: und block is short Vine about three am Saturday morning,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: block away from the University of SINCINNTY campus. Nobody hit,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: thankfully at least not in this one. At least says
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: of yesterday's reporting, nobody had taken into custody. Police radio
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: indicated the witness at the scene saw a mail dressed
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: in black clothing who fired three rounds into the air well.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I should be easy to find with that description. Please
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: continue investigate if you have any information crimestoppers. Imagine three
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: five two thirty forty. Oh look, more shooting in downtown Cincinney.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: This one four people actually shot outside of a nightclub
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and over the Rhine early yesterday morning. Oh and look,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: council Member Seth Walsh suggesting, well, this was a preventable problem.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I thought this rather curious props of Fox nineteen doing
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the reporting on it. Anyway, about one am, corner of
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Elman Finley Streets, right outside of nightclub Privy on ELM, Joe,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: you hang out there, don't you a privy on ELM?
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: No idea what I'm talking about. Since sainfully said three
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: men of one woman were shot. All four expected were
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to coover described as non life threatening injuries, which is fine.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Council Member Seth Walsh quote, We've been warning the city
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: administration that this is something we need to get under control,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and unfortunately, this is exactly what we thought would happen. Said.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: The coroner is known to have crime problems. He has
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: specifically warned city officials about it. Said he reached out
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: to city Manager Sheryl Long back in April about his concerns.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Wal said, speaking of Box nineteen eight, it's been six
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: months since I first raised this issue. There's no pointing fingers,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: although it does sound like he has pointing fingers. There's
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: someone responsible who did not solve a known problem, a
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: preventable problem. How does one take that statement? I raised
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the issue about this area in April to the city manager.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: City manager who controls who the chief of police is.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: We've just learned about that recently. Although again, anybody who
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: paid attention to the issue five way way way back
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: in the day knows the city manager has made massive
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: control over the police chief. I'll let you decide if
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you think plee Chief Thigi was responsible for it has
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: any bearing in connection with the crime. Or is it
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the low contingent of police officers? Is it the city
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: manager telling police chief THEJI how to run her job
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: up until she was removed from command. We know why
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: she was removed from command. No, not, to this day,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: we don't. They're launch an investigation to sort of, I guess,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: reverse engineer her time as police chief to figure out
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: if they can find something in her record, which so
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: far appears to be unblemished, as a reason to fire her,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: even though they already let her go and put her
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: on administrative leave. I know we've done been down this
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: road before, but I find it preposterous that I'm having
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: to go through it again anyway, But I like this
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: there's someone responsible. After saying there's no pointing fingers, there's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: some one responsible who did not solve a known problem,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: a preventable problem. Now on the heels of his saying
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: he reached out the city manager Cheryl Long back in
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: April warning about this might be happening at it being
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a problem arier, Is it possible that he is pointing
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the finger at city manager Chery along as that's someone
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: who is responsible, who did not solve an own problem,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a preventable problem. Don't know anyway. This one happened across
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the street from Brian Guyst Brewery and a block away
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: from Finlay Market. Wall said there's been a meeting between
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: police and stakeholders about the nightclub because problems were spilling
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: into the community and resulting in car break ins as
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: well as other issues. Problem spot. Now look another shooting Carthage.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: This one one person dead after his shooting overnight in
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Carthage Sunday morning early near Vine Street and sixty ninth Street.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: So that's what seven people shot in Cincinnati And what
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: did Corey Bowman have to say about this? Since the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: silence is definitely from Provoll's office. So got this blast
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: text Corey making a last stand on the hill in
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: an effort to get you out to vote, to vote
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: for him. He said, he just came in yesterday. Shootings
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: a curtain Cincinnati on Friday, Halloween, Saturday, and Sunday with
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: multiple victims throughout the weekend. I Corey Bowman spoke with
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: police officers in Cincinnati who stated that there was not
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: enough staffing to respond to shot spot er notification and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: dispatch needs throughout the city. You know, while you got
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: shootings going on, you also have other crimes being called in,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: maybe domestic violence calls and other reports, prowlers, break ins,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: all that police department is working twenty four to seven,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: he said. I also spoke with a representative from the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Ohio Department of Public Safety under Governor of Wine's office.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: This is rather interesting, folks. He stated that last Thursday
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: was the final scheduled day in October for the city
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati to receive help from the Ohio State Patrol.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: This was canceled due to weather. I am scratching my
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: head over what he means by that all the helicopter
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: can't fly in the rain, But don't we have other
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Ohio State Patrol resources. Joe, Oh, okay, that's just ok right.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know that it answers all my questions. Anyway,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Corey goes on the next scheduled date, and the first
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: for the month of November is tomorrow. That's today. I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: asked the representative from the state of Cincinnati had requested
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: any help for the weekend, which the answer was no.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I Corey Bummen suggested that a Friday night Halloween holiday,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: combined with a fairly busy weekend in the city would
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: make it sensible to request state help on those days
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to increase staffing levels and insurance streets were saved. The
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: representative responded that they are more than happy to offer
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: any assistance to the City of Cincinnati if it is
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: is requested with enough notice. Now stop and contemplate that
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: you are let's you're the Grand Pooba. You're in charge
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: of the direction to where the City of Cincinna police
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: resources go. Halloween football game over the weekend a lot
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: of activity. One might anticipate that over a holiday weekend
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: with a football game in town, there might be more
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: criminal activity, don't know, but scenes that probably would be
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: that way as opposed to a random sort of off weekend.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Apparently that wasn't enough for the City of Cincinnati asked
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: for the High State Patrol. Back to Corey, we are
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: currently twenty percent understaff with our police department, with rising
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: crime levels in our downtown area. I Corey Bumman, emerging
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: all city leadership to accept the full package of assistants
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: offered by the Governor's office to ensure people are safe
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: on our streets for a long term solution. I truly
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: believe our city cannot continue with its current leadership neglecting
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: public safety. Well, seven people were shot last nine May.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Raft had was eating Heitza with volunteers at the Board
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: of Elections, ensuring that he is elected for a second term.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: These leaders are not only interested in the rising political careers,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: rather than being public servants to those who elected them.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Vote accordingly, Corey Bauman, Yeah, I hope you do. Hope
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you do. Hella can't get worse, can't it? Five sixteen

• 11:33
  Speaker 1: station five point twenty on a Monday time change. I
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: think falling back is easier than springing forward. Can't we
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: just leave it the same? This conversation comes up twice
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a year every year. Why don't we just lock it
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: in and call it a day? Does anybody have any
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: objection to that? Joe? Would you like to lock it
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: in and call it a day? Just pick pick one?
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Do you even care which one we go with? You
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: don't either. I was talking to my wife about this.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Which one you want? Honey? She's like, I lamenting this
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: stupid time, James, which one? I don't care? Pick one
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: and just stick a fork in it. Let's see what
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Carl's got this morning. Carl, thanks for calling the program.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Happy Monday to you, sir.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Happy Monday, Fay. I've got a couple of public service
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: announcements for everyone. The first one can be a group project.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: The City of Cincinnati is conducting a survey I believe
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: it's The website is cincinnatisurvey dot org. I know people
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: may be driving into work right now, but they could
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: also search online for Cincinnati survey twenty twenty five, and
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I guess the survey is open to Cincinnati residents and
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: other people. Once they complete the survey, they can win
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: a five hundred dollars gift card. It's multiple choice questions,
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: no essays. It has to do with well. They ask
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: a number of questions. It will probably take about fifteen
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: minutes to take the survey. One is leadership. They want
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: to know what you say think about the overall effectiveness
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: of the leadership of Cincinnati. And they're talking about mayor
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: and the politicians. One of the questions is what do
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: you think about the effectiveness of the city manager? What
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: do you think about transparency of the city leaders. They
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: also want to know about potholes, snow removal. Where do
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: you get your information about the city? And I had
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: an interesting answer to that question. I put down the
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: website signal ninety nine. They want to know which Yeah,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: they want to know which television stations you listened to,
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: what you think about the three one one system. There
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: was one ambiguous question out there that I didn't know
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: how to answer. They said rate the traffic calming measures
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: throughout the city. And what they were talking about is
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: a speech. The rate yeah, and crosswalks dedicated on street parking,
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: don't I don't know what they were. I understand what
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: they're talking about, but I don't understand how I was
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: supposed to raid it. I would think that Chief Figi's
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: family and maybe Mike Washington and his family and would
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: want to fill out this survey. And I can't imagine
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: a more appropriate time to conduct a survey than right now.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: You know, don't you think it would be nice to
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: have the results of this survey, maybe a month or
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: two in advance of the election, rather than probably it
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: will show up after the election.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Yes, And I wonder if they will even release the
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: results of the survey, right, they've done this in the past. Well,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: I've never seen the results.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the climate survey of the CINCINNT Police Department apparably
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: has done several years ago and was never released to us.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: So I thought that was obviously I maybe it was terrible.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know that. Also, that evaluated in part the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: police officers satisfaction with the with the hierarchy and administration
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: and executs to oversight and all of that, which of
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: course included at least a component of Diji because she
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: was assistant police chief at the time that last survey
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: was done, to be appointed chief shortly after that survey
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: came out. But yeah, Cincinnati Survey. Look at the site
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: right now, Carl, I would have I would not have
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: known this was around. But for you, where did you
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: come across this? How did you realize they were doing it?
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: It popped up on Facebook about a week ago, and
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: I didn't think it was current because I thought they
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: did it earlier this year. And then I was going
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: to call your radio show and then they cut it off.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: But it popped up on Facebook and a couple of times,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: and I went out and I took the survey last week.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: And you can also rate where the city should be
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: spending or spending money or allocating money, whether or not
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: it's the police department, fire department, roads, et cetera, et cetera.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: They asked you to list your priorities.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, in answer to the question where did you come
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: across this? Just Treker volunteered. It was probably signal ninety
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: nine because she apparently did post this on her widely
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: viewed and shared Facebook page. But I would like to
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: think that you know, in a normal order of reporting,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: you got Fox nineteen WCPO WLWT since they acquired to
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: name a few that might have popped up on their reporting.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: So if you aren't a part of Facebook and you
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: don't follow signey nine signal ninety nine, you could still
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: have an opportunity to participate and at least learn about
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the fact that this survey exists. Thanks for bringing it, Carl.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I have you to thank for bringing it to my attention,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: regardless of where I landed on your lap. Now my listeners,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: at least at this hour, now know cincinnatisurvey dot org
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: is the place to go and just begin all the
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: questions that he just went through, and so many more
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: are right there. Chime in feel Free. Let's see if
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: we get the results. Five twenty five. Thanks again, Carl.

  Speaker 1: because I never want to be responsible for killing someone.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: But no I will if I have to, if I'm
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: threatened with grievous bodily harm or imminent apprehension of death,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: giving rise to my right to defend myself.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: So period agreed, we should all We should all utter
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: the phrase on a regular basis. There but by the
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: grace of God, you know I yep, so he he
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: is definitely good to us, well better than we deserve.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: I wanted to dip into the stack of stupid a
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: little early, uh, from something that came to attention. I
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: don't know if you've covered this already. I'm guessing you have.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: He did we lose him? Tom?
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Are you still there? Hello, you're still there?
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Go ahead? Do you start over with you? Yeah? Start
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: over with your point because you dropped off.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah. The the dictionary dot com word of the year.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: Did you get into this already?
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: No?
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Six seven? The number six It looks like the number
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: sixty seven, but you say it six seven, And apparently
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: it's all the rage with the kids, and you like
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: you put yeah, put your palms up in the air,
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: and you kind of go up at down with the palms,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: like sixty seven, sixty seven? What is that? What?
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: What?
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Basically it's the kids saying whatever. But the stupid part
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: is that dictionary dot Com listed as the word of
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: the year and in their in their description, they basically
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: say that the word has no meaning. First of all,
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: it's not a word, it's a number. Secondly, if you
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: put it in there in a dictionary and you're saying
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: it has no meaning, that's stupid. So I mean and
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: and not to be topped. Harrison Ford chimes in with
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: his wonderful opinion, and where where do these people come
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: up with us? Did you hear what Harrison Ford said
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: about Trump?
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I think, but what are you? What are you referring to?
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: He's the greatest criminal that he He doesn't know of
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: a greater criminal in history.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, when you asked me the question, Harrison Ford, I
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: did see that. But you know, in my preparation for
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: the Morning show, anytime I see a Hollywood celebrity, and
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I will even say on both sides to the political legend,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: not that there are too many conservative Hollywood celebrities out there,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I just ignore them.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: To me, it doesn't matter what Harrison Ford says. Harrison
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Ford can well sec non compliant phrase, put a brake
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: on it, Thomas, I understand that.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: There you go.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: I agree, nobody cares. Well, it's not nobody cared. That's
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: the problem. Too many people care what these Hollywood stars think.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: They hold their opinion in very high regard, and to
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: say something that ridiculously stupid that he never heard of. Oh,
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: I don't know Paul Pott, Adolph Hitler? Does he not
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: know of any of these other people?
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Well, the problems are very what I was just gonna say.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: You know, someone may be screaming, well, you know, Tom's
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: got an opinion. You don't care what Thomas say. Thomas
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: says an opinion when you know what, I'm inviting at
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: least discussion and debate on the whole thing. I would
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: be open for a follow up question. You can call
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: me out and say, Thomas, did you not factor any
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: the equation Paul Pot and all these other evil people
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: that make Donald Trump look like a pussy. Oh, Thoughte,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: you're right, I acknowledge that I was wrong in my
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: overly broad stupid statement. Please removing from the record, or
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: let me apologize for uttering it. You know, that's at
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: least there's an opportunity to do that here in the
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Morning show. And I welcome these kinds of discussions. But
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: to randomly quote some random stupid comment from some guy
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: that we only know because he was in a Raiders
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: of the Lost arc or something, it doesn't elevate his
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: opinion to anything worthwhile unless he's greased to sit down
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: and go through a back and forth on it, maybe
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: offer some specific reasons why he thinks he's right.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: I understand that, you understand that, But unfortunately there's a
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: bunch of brain dead people walking around following the lead
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: of these liberals and whatever they whatever they spew out
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: of their mouth, it sounds to them like gospel truth,
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: especially if it's about that about Trump. Anyway, I'll end
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: it as usual. Don't vote Rhyo, I don't vote Democrat.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: Have a great day, bry Man.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I guess, don't watch Harrison Ford movies. It's a possibility too.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Five nine fifty eight hundred eight two to three talk
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: pound five fifty on at and T found. Yeah, I
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: can alluded to it going into the end of the
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: last break stan Chesley is that. Of course, you may
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: know from the fifty five KRS Morning Show. We've had
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the folks that have written the book on the actually
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: what happened to Beverly Hill Supper Club fire, the case
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: that led him to fame because he sued the entire
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: aluminum industry, which, in my humble opinion, sued the entire
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: aluminum mystery held them accountable because of a large settlement
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: was the result of the mob murder. That place was
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: burned to the ground by the mob, and I'll die
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: on Matt Hill anyway. He sued the entire limitum in
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: electrical wire industry, won a forty nine million dollars settlement,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: and Fox nineteen converted that into modern dollars. Thank you,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Maya Anderson, that will be two hundred and seven million
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: dollars adjusted for the inflation, referring to that case, making
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: him what they described as a legal trailblazer and a
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: person who coined the term enterprise liability. Yes, class action
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: lawsuits against entire industries. Fifty three year career got disparred
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: back in twenty thirteen because of his involvement when the
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: fen Fen litigation represented hundreds of victims who suffered as
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: a consequence of taking fen Fen, which was two medications
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: put together which allegedly helped with weight loss. Heart problems
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: ensued as a consequencer though taking those drugs, so he
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: won a two hundred million dollars settlement. He and the
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: other attorneys were free to divide the money between themselves
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: and their clients, or at least left to divide it.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: They were charged later with keeping millions of dollars for
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: themselves that were supposed to go to the clients. Ches
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Lee five and the lawyers got disbarred. Two were sent
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: to jail. Chesley accused of defrauding forty two million dollars
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: from his clients. After being disbarred in Kentucky, he retired
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: from Ohio before being disbarred here in Ohio. Apparently the
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Fenfen case lasted decade. Victims are still fighting to get
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: the money they were promised. It's reported here most recently
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the Chesley Law firm of grief to give twenty three
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: and a half million dollars two hundreds of Chesley's former
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: clients in October of twenty eighteen, though the settlement did
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: not directly involve Chesley himself. So anyhow, widely known attorney
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: said what you want about him. I only remember him,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: remember him from the aluminum wiring litigation. He actually came
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: to my law school when I was in law school
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: and spoke to the group five thirty six right now
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: fifty five kersite talk station stack is stupid coming up

  Speaker 1: click right there, five and three seven fifty five hundred,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three talks over to stack of stupid.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: What do we got going on here? We got an
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Arizona Superior Court judge had to resign after being caught
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: urinating in public just a few steps down from the
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: courthouse where she sat on the bench. Okay, Prescott police respontted.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Around one thirty in the morning, October fourth, witnesses reported
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: a woman relieving herself near Montezuma and Gurley Streets, same
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: block as the courthouse where she worked. Bodycam video obtained
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: by Fox Digital show Yavapai County Superior Court Judge pro
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: tempo a, Christine schaff Olsen, pulling up her pants before
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: quickly sitting on a bench. Responding officer quote, this is disgusting.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Close quote. Video shows the judge struggling to spell her
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: own name on the as the officer attempted to identify her.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Moments later, her husband, Jason Olsen, also serves as the
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: parks and record Recreation manager for the town at Chino Valley,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: approached the scene try to pull his wife away from
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: the officer's repeatedly refusing orders to step back. Bad idea.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: When asked why she was being questions. Officers replied, quote,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: because I just saw her puking and urinating, exposing herself
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: to several people close quote her husband. No, if that
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: wasn't her, what what me? We got her on video? Man,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: may there you go? Joe Husband continue to resist police commands.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Officer throws him on the ground. Get your a word
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: on the f wording ground, dude, said the officer. His response,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing anything. Officer can be heard saying that
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: several other officers working to restrain and handcuff her husband.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Five one five. We're fighting. The judge cited for urinating
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: or defecating in public, which is described as a misdemeanor offense.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Video shows are identifying herself as a judge, saying, that's fine.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I just want to let you know my name is
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Judge Kristin Olson. Do you know who I am. I'm
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Bob McDonald. I went to West Point, went to Point
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: think you Joe. It's also said she seemed struggling to
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: sign the citation, the officer saying nope, right here on
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: the screen. On the screen, husband was cited for a
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: resisting arrest, interfere with the crime scene investigation, and obstructing
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: the government operations. Joe, that sounds like charges Iris Rawley
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: should have faced for interfering with police officers doing their
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: business here in the Cincinnati area. Oh that's right.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Who can argue?
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: That's how she's a paid consultant on city taxpayer dollars forgot.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: In a later statement, the judge, my resignation comes after
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: careful consideration of current physical, medical, and family circumstances. The
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: community deserves and has judges who are steadfast in their
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: commitment to serving the county. Considering current events in my life,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I believe it will be difficult to honor this commitment.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I have therefore decided to resign. And where are the
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: screams and cries and wailing and nashing teeth to ban
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: baseball bats? Uh I asked this because uh Cataba County

• 28:05
  Speaker 1: a guy named Jose Figuerreia unconscious. Detectives figured out from
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: witnesses the fifty one year old Robert Hernandez Ariola. Now
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I know, I know it's two rs, not one R.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: I had to look that up anyway. He was the
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: person responsible for issuing the savage beating. Ariola so filled
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: with raids that he used a baseball bat to bash
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: FIGUREO in the skull several times. The man's head discovered
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: completely crushed. Police arrested Ariola took him to custody. Figuria.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: We rushed to the hospital, but died. Ariola charged with murder,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: remains in jail, no bond. How come we don't ban
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: baseball bats?
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: Who can argue with that?
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Five forty five fifty five carsee the talk state five

• 29:07
  Speaker 1: hardware phrasing uh huh, Evansville, Indiana. We got a Henderson

• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Saturday over the weekend. Wuty's called it the ACE Hardware
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Dispatch Advise. The man, later identified as Joseph Corbot, concealing
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: power tools down the front of his pants frasing wait
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: for it, WTSA. They stopped him as he was leaving
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: the store and noticed a in the report's words, noticeable
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: bulge at the front waistband area of his pants.
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: Frasing.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Sheriff's office said that they found a Milwaukee M eighteen
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: one and a quarter inch router inside his pants. How
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: hard is it? Well, let me explain to you, because

• 29:51
  Speaker 1: length four point seven nine inches, weight three pounds, just
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: under seven inches in height with a three point twenty
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: three inch width. How do you think you're going to

  Speaker 1: hide something like that in your pants? Anyway, he tried it,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: He got caught, arrested, booked into the Vanderberg County Jail
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: without bond. Charge with organized retail theft all other larceny.

  Speaker 1: next level thanks to his wife. Victims said Sullivan was

  Speaker 1: Grady speaking with local news. Sheriff Grady Judd. Actually he
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: was talking on Facebook. Made a common on Facebook. You

• 31:41
  Speaker 1: got a rip, roaring drunk, took off every bit of
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: her clothes and we found her. She was in the
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: front yard of the house after biting and slapping around
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: her husband, who dialed nine to one one, so we
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: tried to arrest her, and she didn't like that at all. Apparently,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: at some juncture, the female deputy attempted to help the
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: defendant put her clothes on. Not welcome by the defendant.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Sullivant at that point allegedly fought off the deputy I

• 32:17
  Speaker 1: away while I was trying to lift her up off
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: the ground and put her in handcuffs. I gave Leilani
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: multiple lawful commands to stop pulling away and put her
• 32:25

  Speaker 1: I told her to stop swinging your arms multiple times.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Sheriff Judd, how much do you have to drink alcohol
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: that is to rip off all your clothes, slap your
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: husband around, bite him and then lay down in the
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: front yard. I can't answer that, but Leilani can detained
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: held in the pole kind of on a sixteen thousand
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: dollars bond our next court dated apparently November eighteenth. Let's

  Speaker 1: you might bring that up coming up at seven to
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: twenty with a smither event. Hopefully he is council member Smitham.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: And again that's if you vote, and I strongly encourage
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: you to give Christopher Smith in a vote, demonstrably a
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: great guy, obviously proved himself worthy when he was on
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: council previously, and I do believe he's probably one of
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: the best choices you can make. Mike subjective opinion, I know,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: but we'll hear from Christopher coming up seven to twenty
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Money Money with Brian James. Fast forward to eight oh five,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: we get the latest on the shutdown, how it's going
• 36:11

• 36:15
  Speaker 1: a soci security loophole that can allow children to also
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: get benefits. And then finally we'll talk to him about
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: the price of oil. That will be at eighth five.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: In the meantime, always welcome to have phone calls here,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: do a Bobby on the phone for a move on
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: and pick something else. Let's see where Bobby wants to
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: go this morning. Bobby, Happy Monday to you. Good to
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: hear from you today.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Happy Monday, my friend. Any good news in Porkopolis today?
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: We've had seven shootings over the holiday weekend.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, talk about that. In the last hour. That was
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: great news. He also had the Bengals great game yesterday.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: That was really wonderful, wonderful news. And yeah, it just
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: depends on where you look, Bobby.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Well, Bo Jackson has a birthday at the end of
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: this month, on the thirtieth. I think we need have
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: a Bo Jackson Day to get the curse off the Bengals.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: I asked out loud. In the last hour, we've seen
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: some maybe some personnel changes, like a whole brand new
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: defensive line.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: I agree with you. How about the election coming up?
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: How about that election?
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Well, I saw I saw a bunch of them down
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: there early voting yesterday. It was a sad sign, my brother.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: A lot of people around the corners and everything, but
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: it was a sad sign for prosperity.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Lots of Democrats from your perception there, Bobby, a.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Lot of left wing Marxist there hanging around the corner
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: talking about what they're going to do.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Well, were they actually there to vote? Were they're hanging
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: out trying to spread their their agenda, I mean trying
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: to convince voters. Where they were standing in line with
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: their with their flyers and their posters, or were they
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: actually standing in line to cast votes.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: They had it jammed up and jelly tied on their protesting.
• 37:56
  Speaker 8: It was.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: It was a sad day. This guy save me two
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: our window. My friend thereby quit talking about the Bengals.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: The election will be over and maybe we won't heavy
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: shootings or anything next couple days.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: So well, I don't know, you start talking about that
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: seventy two hour window, Bobby, and when I hear it
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: coming at your lips, I think that would be more shootings.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Well three days from now, it's going to be on Thursday,
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: So it'll start Thursday.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: You know what, are you anticipating some sort of chaos
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, Bobby, is a consequence of the election.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think there'll be anything for the consequence
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: of the election. There's always problems in Cincinnati.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe what's Thursday? I mean, sounds like you got
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: some inside baseball or something, Bobby, what are you forecasting
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: or predicting or what little birds tell you about Thursday.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: We always like to handicap the shootings on Thursday. We
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: put it at three and a half to four this
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: last week, but it was seven, so we try to
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: keep it low.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Hopefully, you like Jimmy the Greek when it comes to
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: odds on shootings.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Bobby, they got out on the election, they got out
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: on football, so we got handicap.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: And I don't know that you should have said that
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: out loud because all those sports books out there, it
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: may have a new category they're going to implement to
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: get more people to vote or more people to place bets.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Well, a lot of people don't want to bet on
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: the under.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: So well, that's true. You have a good day, you too, Bobby,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: cracking me up. Five three seven hundred two to three
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: dog Ton fifty on at and T phone. Yeah, look
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: at it. Corey put a post up yesterday. Here's what
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: his agenda is, and it's he's given you an indication
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: what he prioritizes. Number one, public safety. You want to
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: know what priorities are. Do you feel as though the
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: current administration has prioritized public safety? My straight answer is
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: that'll be no, at least not up until recently, when
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: it became the focus of attention giving the impending election,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: that they might have to start taking things seriously. Of course,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: we had a weekend full of shootings. Cory Bowman running
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: as mayor. Public safety number one, that's my first goal.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Increase lateral hiring of police were currently twenty percent staff,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: allow officers to enforce the law, low level for de
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: escalation and prevents, and high level. Put pressure on judges
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: the hold criminals accountable. Tomorrow's election day, you can put
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: pressure on judges by voting for tough on crime judges.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Josh Burk Wits and Betsy Sunnion immediately come to mind.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: But you know there is an option for you. Infrastructure
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: coming into number two his priorities, city roads worst condition
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: they have ever been. He said that the city's current pace,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: it would take forty years to repair everything. I've heard
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: that figure many many times. He said, we prioritize the
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: paving roads and routine maintenance. Sounds solid. Who in the
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati area doesn't struggle with one of the deteriorating roads.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: And then finally budget, I look safety, infrastructure budget. As
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: far as the budget is concerned, he says, it's not
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: going toward the needs of Cincinnati. It's being funneled in
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: a nonprofits NGOs, contractors, Irish Roly, consultants and those who
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: are connected to city hall Irish Early. He said, we
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: reprioritize the budget to ensure the practice goes toward the
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: basic needs of our city, not just feel good initiatives
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: and social agendas that do not help our citizens. Sounds
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: sold to me. Joe just Jacker responded to some, well,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: I will declare idiot subjective opinion mine whose points to
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: the fact that Corey Bowman is a well he's a
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: minister at a church, hum and taking a stab at
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: him talking about how he thinks that he's going to
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: try to turn Cincinnati. I suppose it into some sort
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: of theocracy. We cannot have a Christian nationalist as mayor.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Right on the front page of the River Church, it
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: says Cincinnati is for Jesus. No pastor bomban in this
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: city is for its people, not your religion. I didn't
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: read anything in Corey's agenda which suggests that he was
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: going to try to bring the peace of God, the
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: grace of Jesus Christ, or any other religion to the citizens.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: His church is open, You're free to attend it if
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: you want, but he can't force you to go. There
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: made this point million times. I keep going back to V. V. Ramaswami,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: the man's Hindu. I'm not worried about him trying to
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: turn us Hindu, and our founding fathers made sure that
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: that wasn't going to happen, hence the free exercise and
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: the establishment clause in our Constitution, so we shouldn't have
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: worries about this. But when I see comments like that,
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: just the stupidity that it reveals that you can't even
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: read the Founding Documents, the state Constitution as well as
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: the Federal Constitution to realize we do not live in
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: a theocracy. I mean, you can live in the most
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Muslim neighborhood in Minnesota and they can't force you to
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: worship Islam right anyway, your snap benefits may be restored.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: I think this may have saved Donald Trump in the
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: administration from the Democrats who are responsible for the shutdown.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody can convince me that it's not
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: the Democrats responsible, given that the Republicans are prepared, willing,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: and able, and have voted fourteen or fifteen times to
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: continue funding levels at last year's level Biden administration levels,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: which would include funding the SNAP program. One out of
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: eight people in America here is on the SNAP program,
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: coming in at a cost of eight billion dollars per
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: months for one month. Two federal judges on Friday said
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: he has to fund it using emergency reserve funds. During
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: the shutdown, Massachusetts judge and a Rhode Island judge gave
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: the administration some leeway on how to restore the funding.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Partially funding, but they're saying it must be done. So
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: administration points out, and we've heard this before, talked about
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: it last week, there's about five billion dollars in contingency
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: funds floating around in some pile back in the background,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: and the administration said it was not going to use those.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: USDA had previously said out loud that well, if we
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: go into a shut then we can use this five
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: billion dollars, which would fund partially one month's worth of benefits. Now,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: somewhere it's been reported that there's a separate fund with
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: around twenty three billion dollars which may be available for
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: the cause, and the judges were commenting about that, not
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: really quite sure because they issued the order which said
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: you must fund it using the five million dollars. There's
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: these contingency funds we're not quite certain about. So we're
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: going to have another hearing today to provide additional guidance.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: And that's what the administration said it needed. Trump's posted
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: on social media on Friday say he wasn't happy with
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: the decisions. Well, actually wasn't happy with the Democrats for
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: causing the shutdown. Said the government would comply with these rulings,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: but it needed more clarity first, saying, if we're given
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: the appropriate legal direction by the court, it will be
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: my honor to provide the funding. So now, remember the
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Republican's advanced to build a continue funding snap of standalone provision.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: It didn't deal with the entire government shutdown, but it
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: was sort of like, Okay, we're going to carve out
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: this one program that apparently so many people need it's
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: going to create mass starvation, so it will vote and
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: the Democrats wouldn't vote for that. So since they won't
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: vote for that, and this set, this snap thing seems
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: to be the thing with the most urgency and creating
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: the most problems, maybe for the Republicans, but if everybody
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: looked at this through a clear lens, the only people
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: that would be struggling and suffering is a consequence of
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: all the snap folks who aren't going to get their
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: benefits will be the Democrats. Sadly, we don't live in
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: a crystal clear world where everyone's paying attention, so to
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: the extent the Republicans are going to get blamed by this,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: these two court orders will continue the funding at least
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: through the next several weeks of November, so they won't
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: be feeling this pain that parenthetically they shouldn't be feeling anyway,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: because the Democrats couldn't open the government at their prior
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: funding levels. So I'm thinking there's a little maybe a
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: silver lining in on this, and we'll find out whether
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: the judges have this authority. I kind of questioned the
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: scope of this because they are intruding directly into the
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: power of the purse. That's Congress's exclusive authority. So keep
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: your popcorn out on this one, folks. But again I'm
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: trying to view it through a positive lens. This may
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: have just bought the Trump administration sometime. If you can
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: pop the bubble of anger despair, screams of I'm going
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: to starve or I am starving I can't pay my
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: rent because I have to pay money for food. We
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: at least bought ourselves a few weeks maybe away from that.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: The Trump administration has not said whether or not they
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: plan on appealing those rules, and again in both courts,
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: they'll be back in court today six seventeen. Right now
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRC the talk station looking forward to the
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: seventeenth November, because that's when the galaxy concrete come big
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: relative to the local residents here. But I keep looking
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: at this Zorhan Mandami race the foregone conclusion he's going
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: to be elected. This guy's crazy. It really really hates
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: the police. He's on record of that hit, his budget boondoggles.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: He's going to be given free stuff and things that
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: everybody like, free buses, which they suggest is not going
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: to be just the seven hundred million dollars he claims
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: going to cost annually. Who's going to pay for that?
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: City is already in the hole. The Metropolitan Transit Authority
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: there said no, it's going to be like a billion
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: dollars a year. Free grocery stores. Not well, at least
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: city run grocery stores on city property. I mean, they
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: won't pay taxes offering something at no profit. At least
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: that's the way it's supposed to be set up. And
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: it's never worked before. In fact, it's failed in places
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: where they've tried it before. Plus there's a big concern
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: that these small business bodega owners will be priced out
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: since they have to pay rent and taxes and electric
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: bills and all that they don't get the benefits of
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: free city property to run their bodegas. Just a couple
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: of points. You know, planning on taxing the rich even more,
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: the rich that have not yet fled. It's pretty amazing.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: The top one percent of New York's city tax bearers
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: paid forty eight percent of the city's personal income tax.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: There's your wealthy. If you're planning on piling on even
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: more on those wealthy people, the ones that haven't already
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: left like during COVID went down to Florida and Tennessee
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: and elsewhere Texas. I think the rest of them leave
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: maybe in advance of these programs being put into place.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: He is going to need cooperation from the State of
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: New York to raise these taxes. Not yet given a
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: green light on that one yet. Apparently Reason Foundation looked
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: at the budget in New York City total liabilities of
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: three hundred billion dollars last year, four times out of
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles, Chicago, in Atlanta. Of course, New York City
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: Council has refused to cut anything at all, already spending
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: ten point six percent of the tax revenue in New
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: York on debt service, and that schedule to increase, much
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: like the national debt. Here more and more every year.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: We spend now north of a trillion dollars on debt service.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: And notably, he didn't have any experience. This is the
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: thing that's been bothering me. Not that I I mean,
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: I suppose, and there are a lot of people reaching
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: the conclusion let New Yorkers hang themselves, which is what
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: they're going to be doing. Go ahead, put this thirty
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: four year old guy who's never held a real job
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: in his life in charge of the largest You're one
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: of the biggest cities and biggest economies in the planet
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: in terms of city revenue, in size and scope. How
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: is this going to work out? I'm thinking with a
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: mass exitus of people who still make money in New York,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: which is a death spiral for everything this guy is proposing,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: you need a revenue stream. Oh and on top of that,
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: he's going to make thirty dollars the minimum wage. It's
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: a thirty four year old who's never held a job
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: and of course lacks anything by way of an economics education. Jamie,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: you're on the phone. I see that. I want to
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: take your call, but amount of time I looked up
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: at six twenty five right now with Ryan James A
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: to five, preceded by Christopher Smithman coming up at seven
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: twenty in the next hour. Over to the phones, Jamie,
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: hel Dwayne your next, Jamie, thanks for holding over the brick.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.
• 49:49
  Speaker 9: Morning, Brian, Thank you. Hey. I just wanted to give
• 49:52
  Speaker 9: our Lakota School District folks heads up about voting for
• 49:57
  Speaker 9: Ben Wins. He is a twenty two five graduate of Lakota.
• 50:02
  Speaker 9: He's sharp, he's conservative. He's got some fresh eyes and
• 50:08
  Speaker 9: his mind has just got some really creative education ideas
• 50:11
  Speaker 9: to help us out here in Lakota. He's also against
• 50:15
  Speaker 9: the levee that Lakota has on the ballot tomorrow, which
• 50:19
  Speaker 9: is the largest tax levee in the state of Ohio
• 50:22
  Speaker 9: and their history. So wow, he's been knocking doors. My
• 50:27
  Speaker 9: husband and I have gotten to know him very well.
• 50:29
  Speaker 9: He's actually surprised us and how ready he is, and
• 50:33
  Speaker 9: he's just really got a good head. And it would
• 50:36
  Speaker 9: be really pretty amazing to have a young kiddo like
• 50:39
  Speaker 9: that on the school board to bring about some good
• 50:42
  Speaker 9: change for the kids.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Do you get any impression of which direction people are
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: how people are feeling about that levee given how large
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: it is, Jamie. I mean, there could be great justification
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: for it, but I haven't been following that one very closely,
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: so I'm just kind of wondering if you get a
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: sense of where people are on it.
• 50:57
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't think it's going to pass this time,
• 50:59
  Speaker 9: for there's been a lot of great education out there
• 51:03
  Speaker 9: about the dollars and cents about it, and they're wanting
• 51:06
  Speaker 9: to tear down ten buildings. That's part of the plan,
• 51:09
  Speaker 9: and it's the money is not for teachers, it's not
• 51:12
  Speaker 9: for operation costs. It's strictly to tear down buildings and
• 51:16
  Speaker 9: build new ones, which is really hard to swallow, especially
• 51:19
  Speaker 9: when the buildings, some of them are forty years old.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 51:22
  Speaker 9: Well, and not even you know I needed to be
• 51:26
  Speaker 9: torn down. They need to be maintained.
• 51:27
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: I think about the university that I went at, university
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: since a before they polished it up and turned it
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: into the you know, the Generica land that it is.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: It was pretty rundown and slummy when I was there.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: It had no problem getting an education. We didn't have
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: all kinds of amenities and things. In fact, one of
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: the classes they parked a trailer outside del High Junior
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: High School. Itself not in great condition when I went
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: there back in the in the mid seventies, but they
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: put a trailer out. We needed extra space, they parked
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: a trailer. It worked out. It took health class in
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: there fine. At least it was the one area of
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: the building that was air conditioning. Nobody else had air conditioning.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: It's amazing how much perception we think we need our
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: kids have to have all this stuff and things by
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: way of amenities. Now you need a room and a
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: teacher in front, being too minimalist.
• 52:13
  Speaker 9: No, not at all. And to be honest, I mean
• 52:15
  Speaker 9: the whole community is for the kids, like there's no
• 52:19
  Speaker 9: question about that. And it's frustrating because you know, people
• 52:24
  Speaker 9: who might not be for this levee are scene is
• 52:26
  Speaker 9: like demonizing and not for the whole district and not
• 52:29
  Speaker 9: for the kids, which is so not true. And it's
• 52:31
  Speaker 9: frustrating to not be able to kind of bring everybody's
• 52:34
  Speaker 9: voices to the table about you know, like you're saying
• 52:37
  Speaker 9: what actually matters at getting a child, you know, a
• 52:40
  Speaker 9: good education. And so I really think the community is
• 52:45
  Speaker 9: tuned into that. They of course will come back for
• 52:49
  Speaker 9: another levee, and I'm hoping that just more people can
• 52:51
  Speaker 9: get involved and we can talk about what matters and
• 52:53
  Speaker 9: that's the kids in the classroom.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: Well, Jamie, I appreciate you calling in on that one issue.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of other communities that are facing the
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: same thing, and you know, we got one more day
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: to talk about these things. So if there's somebody else
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: out there going, yeah, but what about my school love
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: in my neighborhood, we don't need it or we need it.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: Feel free to chime in. It was a candidate you
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: want to steer people toward. This is the last opportunity
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: to do it. Election is tomorrow. Thank you Jamie for
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: the call. I appreciate it. Duayne, You're next Dayne, thanks
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: for calling this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show.
• 53:21
  Speaker 7: Hey Bryan, thanks. I wanted to chime in on a
• 53:24
  Speaker 7: one point for Jay Ratliff, potentially to help with his
• 53:28
  Speaker 7: belt policy. There's a doctor who wrote a substack, a
• 53:33
  Speaker 7: Midwestern doctor. He does be forgotten side of medicine. That's
• 53:37
  Speaker 7: when all the same doctors got kicked off as social
• 53:40
  Speaker 7: media during COVID.
• 53:41
  Speaker 10: Yeah, so he started to substack talking. He did a
• 53:47
  Speaker 10: nine or ten month study on called d MSO dime
• 53:51
  Speaker 10: methyl softbox size. Oh yeah, and there may be yeah,
• 53:55
  Speaker 10: there may be some good treatment options. Since Bell's palsy
• 54:01
  Speaker 10: is irritation on the facial nerve, which is a cranial
• 54:04
  Speaker 10: nerve that topically be rubbed on around the crodit arteries
• 54:10
  Speaker 10: and it does cross the blood brain barrier. So you'll
• 54:14
  Speaker 10: find no FDA approved treatments. However, the dirty secret is
• 54:19
  Speaker 10: a lot of these cancer immunotherapy drugs are using it
• 54:22
  Speaker 10: to get into cancer cells and actually cross that blood
• 54:26
  Speaker 10: brain barrier.
• 54:27
  Speaker 7: So what that may be a good help.
• 54:30
  Speaker 10: You can look that up.
• 54:31
  Speaker 7: They had an October thirty first article on twenty twenty
• 54:34
  Speaker 7: four that went through a lot of facial issues ninety sitis,
• 54:39
  Speaker 7: tonight itis, facial paralysis in the use of DMSO, effective
• 54:43
  Speaker 7: use of.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: It well to the extenting's listening, You just gave the information.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: I will shoot him an email and let him know
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: that you had mentioned that. I've been hearing about DMSO
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: for years and years. In fact, back in sometime it
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: was late or early eighties or seventies, sixty Minutes did
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: a special on d I remember them talking about it.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: You rub it on your skin and you have a
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: It gives you this distinct oyster taste in your mouth.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Your body absorbs it almost immediately. Don't remember the application
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: they were using it on them, but it was not
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: approved for whatever they were selling it for or pushing
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: it for back then. And I've had multiple people over
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: the years recommend it for other ailments, including friend Bob,
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: who recommended it for something related to my health issues.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: So I'm apparently either it's a cure all or it's
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: being sold as a potential cure all for a lot
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: of things. But thanks for bringing it to the top,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: not suggesting one way or another. You have options to
• 55:36

• 56:48
  Speaker 8: Some days it feels like, no, I know beter than
• 56:51
  Speaker 8: that that stuff I hear on the news and stuff
• 56:54
  Speaker 8: like that. I'm thinking, Man, I just woke up in
• 56:56
  Speaker 8: a different world.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's I made it a fascinated I made
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: it a point of letting folks know about your police
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: background because you have so you've seen it all. You've
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: lived through Issue five, you knew everything that happened. Then,
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: you were through other chiefs. You've witnessed the since Police Department,
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: obviously Warren County Sheriff's Department experience, So a great background
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: and informed he is so with that. I don't even
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: know what you called to talk about, John, But I
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: wanted to make sure people were clear on your background.
• 57:22
  Speaker 8: Well, I like you and you and I have had
• 57:25
  Speaker 8: these discussions privately and over dinner and stuff like that.
• 57:28
  Speaker 8: The political process and if good or bad, I think
• 57:32
  Speaker 8: our political process is amazing the United States. It's just
• 57:35
  Speaker 8: it bottles the mind sometimes, but it sure is good
• 57:38
  Speaker 8: food for your brain. And the thing in New York
• 57:42
  Speaker 8: with Mondani is it is a foregone conclusion. There is
• 57:45
  Speaker 8: no way. And they said they went about Curtis Sliwa.
• 57:48
  Speaker 8: He has every right to run up there, and if
• 57:51
  Speaker 8: he pulled out, there is no way that Cuomo would win.
• 57:56
  Speaker 8: It just still wouldn't happen. It's Mundani. It's going to
• 57:58
  Speaker 8: be the people in New York. It's a block for
• 58:01
  Speaker 8: that part of the picket well, and that's all it's
• 58:04
  Speaker 8: going to be.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: And there was an article this morning I read. I mean,
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: I think, aren't there eight million residents in the city
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: of New York that are capable of steering the direction?
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: They said there was going to be a record turnout
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: this year with about two million people voting, so a
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: lot of room for other people to impact and sway
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: the election. I say that out loud because same thing
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: in the city of Cincinnati.
• 58:22
  Speaker 8: John Well, Yeah, yeah, it is. And that's that's said
• 58:27
  Speaker 8: in the city. I mean, I think the last Republican
• 58:30
  Speaker 8: or the Republican there we had was what June seventy.
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: One, Uh was that Eugene Ruhlman Rooleman. I think I
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: made the mistake of saying Ken Blackwell, but he was
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: a charter right candidate.
• 58:41
  Speaker 8: He was, he was a charter right then. Yeah, Ken, Yeah,
• 58:44
  Speaker 8: Ken's a friend, He's.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: A good man.
• 58:46
  Speaker 8: Oh oh my gosh. And we just got to hope
• 58:49
  Speaker 8: that there's going to be some change because I'm like you,
• 58:51
  Speaker 8: I love downtown Cincinnati. I love going into the city.
• 58:54
  Speaker 8: I know I can tell I can tell you less
• 58:58
  Speaker 8: and less. I don't like going to city. It's just
• 59:01
  Speaker 8: I don't like being uncomfortable with different places in this city.
• 59:04
  Speaker 8: And Cathy and I go to church downtown and I
• 59:09
  Speaker 8: carry my pistol in church, and I hate that. I
• 59:12
  Speaker 8: hate that I have to think about that in a
• 59:15
  Speaker 8: house of worship. I just hate it. So but what
• 59:18
  Speaker 8: I want to call about and we're thinking about Mondanni
• 59:20
  Speaker 8: and all this stuff that he wants to do in
• 59:23
  Speaker 8: New York. And you had a great statistics and I
• 59:27
  Speaker 8: was going to quote it because I read a Wall
• 59:29
  Speaker 8: Street Journal about one percent pays forty eight percent in
• 59:33
  Speaker 8: New York City. Well, you know that used to be
• 59:37
  Speaker 8: the one percent paid about seventy percent. You got to
• 59:39
  Speaker 8: go back a few years and that's how many people
• 59:41
  Speaker 8: have left. Okay, but if if they keep that up
• 59:47
  Speaker 8: up there and Deblasio, they didn't see that failure. Here
• 59:51
  Speaker 8: we go again with Mondani very quietly except in business circle.
• 59:57
  Speaker 8: You know, I followed this stuff. Texas. The Texas Stock
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 8: Exchange got approval to open January first in Dallas, and
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 8: with Texas pro business and very favorable taxes structure in
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 8: that state, you watch, I just think it's going to
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 8: be You know, if I was, if I was a billionaire,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 8: i'd start buying money or of buying land in downtown
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 8: Dallas because I think it's going to be big in
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 8: a couple of years. They take a little longer that what's.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: Going to be the new financial capital of the United
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: States may very well be there.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: It's like you have Silicon Valley dominating out in California,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: but more and more Wittich Californians are moving because they realized,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: you mean, I can build a data center in Ohio
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: or Tennessee or I mean, the freedom of travel is
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: a beautiful thing, and it's points in these in these
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: times we realize how effective it can be and maybe
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: changing political dynamics because New York City is going to
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: starve to death is what is what I predict.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 8: Oh and with the electric the way it is an
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 8: ai you know that that very you know the vintage
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 8: floor trading in New York. Okay, it looks good on
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 8: the news when people having the trades in the air
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 8: and things like that. They don't need to do that anymore.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think they need to do that anymore,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: do they No?
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 8: But I mean they like to show that in everything.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 8: And there's some of that that goes.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: On stock foot stock footage.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah, everything is electronic.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: It's like the Chicago Board of Exchange used to watch
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: him do that. All those traders out there. You get
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: these twenty something something's all spun out on cocaine trading
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: twenty four cellars then throwing the paper all over the place.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: It's kind of funny.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 8: And if you talk to Jay Rattlif some of his students,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 8: they'll make ten or eleven percent on their money in
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 8: twenty seconds and they're out of the market. I mean,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 8: it's just nuts. It is just crazy. I mean, certainly
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 8: it's a style and technique and a skill, but still
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 8: it's you don't need anything but your computer in front
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 8: of you.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: That's right, all you need, and a willingness to just
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: walk away, take your winnings early, forget about what happened
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: after you sold the stock, and make quick quadruple. But
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: you got money, so just walk away and be thankful
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: for that. That's that's well boiled down the Jay Ratler philosophy.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 8: It's it's you know, we used to go on a
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 8: guy's trip, a bunch of cops and some of the
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 8: prosecutors out the to Vegas every year, okay, which stayed
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 8: a nice hotel. And you know, my first day out
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 8: there one year, I got real lucky on a blackjack
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 8: table and I won about twenty five hundred dollars two hours.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 8: I started college as a math major, so I knew
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 8: all that stuff. I was able to play house odds
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 8: and things like that. Yeah, well I was done. I
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 8: paid for my trip. I was done. And a couple
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 8: of guys that I was with or in the trip
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 8: that you're playing with the house money. I'm not that's
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 8: my money. We're not going to knock on my door.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 8: My hotel room will want their money, thank you.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: That's just dumb to think like that.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 8: You know, you know, it's like a politician in office,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 8: you know. Oh, you know it's and that's money we
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 8: can pay play with. No, it's not as taxplayer treasure.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 8: It's the treasure of the taxpayers. And you have to
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 8: be a good steward of that. And you know, when
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 8: I was Chief de wy at Warren County, the two
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 8: sheriffs that I worked under up there, Heiris and Simms,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 8: they were hawks on the budget and watched every dime
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 8: and they treated that they treated that like their own money,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 8: to watch every dime. And I was so impressed with
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 8: those guys up there doing And I know the current
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 8: sheriff of there, Barry Riley, is exactly the same way.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 8: And they don't take that for granted that that's harder
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 8: money coming from the taxpayer. And I wish there was
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 8: a lot of other and Democrats and Republicans. I'm not
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 8: just saying it's just Republicans doing it. They're Democrats that
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 8: they used to be able to do that, you know,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 8: I'm not sure.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: It's a sense of ethics and propriety and morality, you know.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: I actually I practiced law that way. I hated building
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: a client for something I knew there was a shorter way,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: a cheaper way, and then run around it. Why would
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: you force someone out there to pay for something if
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: you really knew a way where they weren't going to
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: have to pay for it. Others play fast and loose,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: you know, I just build them for it. Screw it,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: let's move on. So yeah, the question of ethics and morality,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: and sadly most politicians don't have that perspective. John really
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: is just no no.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 8: And it goes right back to our education system, lack
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 8: of civic classes and things like that.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and look as dumb as our children may be.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: Right now, Kamala Harris is now pushing to lower the
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: voting age to sixteen. Huh, oh my god, what's that
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: all about? Now, I'll give you the info on that.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 8: I wouldn't want to have the vote when I you know,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 8: I got the vote when I was eighteen. I'm not
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 8: sure sure enough vote eighteen?
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it was around the sixteen I think
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: it was around the Goldwater presidential election when they changed
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: it from twenty twenty one down to eighteen. Anyway, John Newsom,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: God bless you and thank you for your service to
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: our community for all those years. And I appreciate your
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: your comments this morning again. All right bye, we need
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: better people. Thank you, brother. Six forty nine fifty five
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: car City Talk Stations Station six fifty four fifty five
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: car Ceedytalk Station. Christopher Smineman coming up at seven twenty
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: one this Smith event. Yeah, I mentioned to John there
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: about Kamala Harris pushing for sixteen year olds to vote.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: Why climate change, climate crisis. I'm like, God, we're all
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: going to die. She hasn't gotten the memo from Bill
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: Gates saying, Hey, this is dumb. We keep talking about
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: this existential future one hundred years down the road. We
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: need to do things right now that actually help people.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: We're not going to die of climate change. He points out.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: Of course, the European Union's waking up to this reality.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: They're starting to lose business. And speaking of cities like
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: New York losing people because of maybe Zoran Mamdami's election
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: or just generally because it's outrageous to live there expense wise,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: people have options and choices, and in the name of
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: European Unions global warming, climate crisis, a lot of business
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: is are pulling out of the EU. Germany's economy has
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: gone down to the toilet, as has France's, most notably Germany.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: So with the background of that, and recognizing that all
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: of our exhalation is negated immediately by anything China does
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: in a moment's time, she goes, I think we should
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: reduce the voting age of sixteen. I'll tell you why.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: Gen Z, their age is about thirteenth to twenty seventh.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: They've only known the climate crisis, and I hung my word.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: I saw it, like, maybe it's because you keep peddling
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: it to them. They miss these substantial parts of their
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: education because of the pandemic. Guess in whose hands you
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: want to place the power to vote? They believe in
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: climate crisis exclusively. That's all they've known. They have climate
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: anxiety to describe their fear, because why the adults who've
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: been in front of the room teaching them have just
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: hammered this into their heads twenty four to seven rather
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: than teaching the mathematics. I love this line. If they're
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: in high school or college. Especially in college, it's very
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: likely that whatever they've chosen as their major for study
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: may not result in affordable wage. Whose fault is that
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: you're the one pursuing an art degree. They've coined the
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: term climate anxiety to describe fear not only of being
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: unable to buy a home, huh, but fear that it'll
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: be wiped out by extreme weather, or fear of having children. Again,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: I go back to who's perpetuating these ridiculous fears in
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: our young people who are not capable of listening to
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: you and saying, you know what, that doesn't make any sense? Why?
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: Because they're well I two words sixteen year olds, And
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: this isn't a diss on all sixteen year olds. I've
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: met some really, really really smart ones, you can see
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: through the fog of this crap. But for the vast
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: majority of them, go ahead interact with them. Two words
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: useful idiots six fifty six. They also believe socialism actually works.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: Sit around a little time between now in seven twenty
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: when we get to Christopher's with them, and I hope
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: you can stick around and feel free to call up
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: you right back. Today's top headlines coming seven oh six
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: here at fifty five k set DE talk station Monday.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: That I can and I always like it because coming
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: up next Christopher Smith event. Every Monday at seven to
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: twenty you have the Smither event former vice mayor of
• 1:08:31

• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: Man got choices today ar Tomorrow is the day. It's
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: election day eve here in well Hamilton County, state of Ohio,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: most notably the city of Cincinnati. Huge election for the
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: residents of the city. So figures crossed, please fingers crossed.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: We'll hear from Christopher. Have a feeling he might mention
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: the election coming up. You can feel free to mention anything.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: It's five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty five hundred,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: eight hundred and eight two three talk pound five fifty
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: on at and T phones, fifty five kr SE dot
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: Comedy can't let's life. Of course, the smithment will be there.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from Money Monday's Brian James come up
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: in an hour. Some great topics with Brian, including the shutdown,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: how it might impact stocks, benefits, social security, etc. And
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: then topic number two is kind of scratching my head
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: over it is there a social security loophole that can
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: allow children to get benefits. And then finally we'll be
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: talking about the price of oil. Tomorrow it is election day.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: Voter die, says Jostrecker. And of course the bright bird
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: inside scoop and the Daniel Davis deep dive tomorrow morning
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: in the eight o'clock hour. Let's see here, since I
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: was having to go at Kamala Harris pushing the voting
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: age down to sixteen, get the desperate young people who
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: apparently are scared out of their wits. In her perception,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: they've only known climate crisis. They've missed a substantial part
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: of their education because of the pandemic. They're worried, they
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: don't want to have children. They have climate anxiety, because
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: she said not only of being able to unable to
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: afford a home, but fear that they'll be wiped out
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: by extreme weather and having children. Now, this fear of
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: having children, because they even doctrinated our children to believing
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: that we hear the human population of the globe are
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: actually cockroaches and we're responsible for environmental damage. Therefore we
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: should not reproduce and pro create. But in so far
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: her comment, fear that it the home that they were
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: able to buy would be wiped out by extreme weather.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: Why don't you look at what Barack Obama did. Was
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: it Martha's vineyard? And did he have one of his
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: many homes there like on the ocean? One of many
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: politicians who live under those circumstances. Apparently, even the ones
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: that are perpetuating this nonsense don't believe that they're house
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: is in fear of some sort of climate disaster absent
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: you're normally curring events which have happened since the dawn
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: of the globe. A hurricane, we have tornadoes out here
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: in the Midwest. Nobody seems to blame climate change on those.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: Just rising sea levels. We're all going to die anyway.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: With that pivot over to Homan Jenkins Junior, brilliant and
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: perfectly timed, Bill Gates apologizes for Earth's survival and I
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: brought this topic up before, but staying on the solders
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: of giants, Homan Jenkins, that person today and on the
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: heels of Kamala Harris ridiculous, stupid station state statements. Bill
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: Gates jumped off a bandwagon that existed in the first
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: place only as a complete and utter canard. Climate change
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: doesn't point to humanity's demise, the Microsoft philanthropist says in
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: a splashy memo addressed to a forthcoming climate jamboree in Brazil, quote,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: people will be able to live and thrive in most
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: places on Earth for the foreseeable future clothes quote I'm
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: gonna give Gates more credit than Kamala Harris for intellect
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: on this topic. That last statement was mine, not holwand Jenkins.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: He goes on, but this only comports with the science
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: as we've known it for decades. Has mister Gates experienced
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: an epiphany and falling away from in falling away of scales, No,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: not possible in this case, since he already knew the truth.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: The reputational gravy train is simply coming to an end.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: Our elites have been getting off for a while. In fact,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: mister Gates may rank two and forty seven, eleventh and
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: bravery behind David Wallace Wells, authors of twenty nineteen's Uninhabitable Earth,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: who later that same year was already moderating his rhetoric
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: in a less alarmist direction, as he put it, without
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: offering refunds. Put on Bump or The New York Times
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: Ezra cline that harbinger of the obvious becoming saable to liberals.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: He admitted three years ago the mainstream climate models men quote,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: your kids are not doomed to a grim life close
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: quote Laughably, Mister Gates links his conversion to a victory
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: for environmentalism in the form of new less dire emissions forecasts.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: The victory he cites, as documented even by the Austere
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in twenty twenty one, was
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: only over a bad, propaganistic forecast that was never rooted
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: in the science in the first place. I can make
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: a boring reference to the Emperor New Clothes, but consider
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: an estimate of the Population Reference Bureau, which holds that
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: one hundred and ten billion humans have lived and died
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: in the past two hundred thousand years. That's a lot
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: of unattractive apes huddling together learning how to mimic the
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: attitudes of their social leaders. After all, what makes elites
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: is partly an acute sensitivity to the risk of being
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: out of step, saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: You might recall the Hillary Clinton staffer who stormed performatively
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: out of a meeting after her twenty sixteen loss weaving,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: I'm going to die of climate change, or the Bloomberg
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: contributor who said Exxon makes a product that quote threatens
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: the continuation of human life on Earth Hell's quote, and
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: it was Joe Biden routinely raspingly insisting that climate posed
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: an existential risk to the Earth. The New York Times
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: was especially notorious for its climate canny gets dereliction in
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: a nutshell, only investigating whether the sentiment was right, not
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: whether the policy, at the cost of trillions, did what
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: it said it did it didn't. Democrats have spent millions
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: in tax payer money in twenty ten to have the
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: National Research Council affirm that their passil of subsidies and
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: tax breaks for green energy were a poor tool for
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: influencing greenous submissions. The data has since arrived these policies
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: stimulated more energy consumption, not less emissions. Now the existential
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: climate risk bandwagon is coming to an end for the
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: deceptively simple reason known as running out of other people's money.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: This deniweman has many factor of fathers. Germany's feckless energy
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: transition and its contribution to the Ukraine War, China's continued
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: coal spewing trillions spent in the West while having no
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: effect on warming or allaying the hysterics. Greta Thunberg. The
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: result is palpable. There's no longer an electoral base in
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: the West willing to be conned out of additional trillions
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: for climate change. Hallelujah, interjected Brian Thomas. Donald Trump may
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: be President of the United States, but even Britain's labor
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: rights are running away from net zero in practice, if
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: not in word. Mister Gates deserves minuscule props for using
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: his reputation to try to stop the peddling of a
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: fice false climate doom as a way to hijack resources
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: from programs and initiatives it would actually help people. He'll
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: get brick bats for it. That's the real important of
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: his actions. It should be appreciated. I'm still not permitted
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: to name the Biden Obama official who visited the Wall
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: Street Journal and privately lamented his party's turn card green
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: pork and away from carbon tax tax reforms in the
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: industrial world's future one way or another to deal with
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: its debts. Not soon enough now to make a difference
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: in the clim mid future. There's no use crying over
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: might have bins, but this was an opportunity to climate
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: lobby missed. Crying over might have been. I'm sorry through
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: its vastly stupid and dishonesty, from its constant overplaying of
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: climate doom to its hysterical denigration of anyone who raised
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: a question to its shoddy money grubbing lawsuits against big oil.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: If anyone deserves to be strung up for their eco sins,
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: it's drusilla clacks of climate activism who were traitors to
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: their own cause. Words gotten out, folks, you know, and
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: I can. I can bring this around like the City
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. We've all been, we've all learned over the
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: last four years, may have to have. Purpole loves to
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: shell out since a tax paramney to non governmental organizations,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: community activists out there doing left wing propaganda work in
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: the streets and presumably supporting his cadre of council members
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: and him, of course, for reelection as mayor city dollars
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: going out into the world world for alleged projects that
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: you and I don't know if it has had any
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: impact whatsoever, because apparently they don't follow up on it.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: As long as the money went to the NGOs that
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: are friends with the administration. That's all that mattered. This
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: whole climate thing is on a geometrically increased scale, you
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: know it doesn't. I mean, how many years ago was
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: it when we found out cylinder in a one to
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: twenty three or five or whatever. Those companies that got
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: hundreds of millions in American taxpayer dollars for these Obama
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: era green projects went belly up. The people who ran
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: those organizations, I'm sure got the money. The organization was
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: a failure. The business was not a business. It did
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: not make money. It only consumed taxpayer dollars based upon
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: a hand picked selection by administrative officials on who was
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: going to get the money. You can't imagine that that
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: would create leeches and people who would be going after
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: the money simply for the money's sake and not because
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: they were really trying to bring about some po positive
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: change in the lives of well us cockroaches out here
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: in the world. Christopher Smithman's online rated Rock and Roll
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: seven sixteen. Right now if you have KCD talk station
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: Quick Work for USA, and it's on Monday, Tomorrow's election day.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: If you didn't get the memo joining the program. He's
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: running for since city Council. He was formerly the vice
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: mayor of the City of Cincinnati. Christopher Smithman, Welcome back
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: for the smith event. My friend. I'm glad to have
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: you on the program.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 5: Thank you so much, Brian for having me on. And
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 5: you know, I would say today is closing arguments. You know,
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 5: I'm shocked, but not surprised that seven people were shot
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 5: over the weekend. Four people shot in one shooting incident,
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 5: and I think that's a mass shooting incident. And that's
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 5: what people have been talking about in downtown. They're incredibly
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 5: concerned about the violence. Developers have been investing money there,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 5: seeing what Jeff Ruby has been saying and his daughter,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 5: you've seen what Taste of Belgium has been saying and doing.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 5: We are on that right or left turn on millions
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 5: and hundreds of millions of dollars that have been invested
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 5: in the downtown going up in smoke because we have
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 5: an incompetent collectively counsel and a mayor that just has
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 5: taken his eye off the ball. And so this is
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 5: a very serious election. You know, sometimes politicians come on
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 5: and they say, man, this is this is a consequential
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 5: election is really important. Look, this is one of those
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 5: moments I don't want to I don't want to live
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 5: in a Chicago. I don't want to live in the Detroit.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 5: And right now we have a mayor that seems to
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 5: want to defund, reimagine, rethink, allow attrician to hit our
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 5: police department, not letting our cops out there do their jobs.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 5: And right now we've got to elect a majority of
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 5: council members that will support commit unity based policing, but
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 5: proactive policing. Like your sister, you get in your car,
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 5: you see something happening, you get out and you start
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 5: asking questions. And when you do that, you know there's
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 5: gonna be critical incidents that occur. You gotta back your
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 5: police officers up. They've gotta know that the next day
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 5: you're not going to be throwing them under the bus.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 5: We're talking about the electeds and so right now there's
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 5: this feeling out there that our police officers don't have support.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 5: And so in my closing arguments, look, voter turnout is low.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 5: We know the traditional voter is going to vote tomorrow.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 5: I've heard that on the campaign trail a lot, very frequently,
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 5: and so the ball now for the jury is in
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 5: your hands. It's their decision. As you've said, Brian Thomas,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 5: elections have consequences, so people can decide because we know
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 5: that coming out of a national election that people are
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 5: registered to vote not an issue about registration. It's really
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 5: about participation and will people from the west side, the
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 5: east side, the south and the north on election day
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 5: show up and say I'm not in the party, I'm
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 5: not in the race, I'm not in a gender, I'm
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 5: not into sexual identity. I just want to elect a
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 5: collective council that puts Cincinnati first, a mayor that puts
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 5: Cincinnati first and gets our city back on track. That's
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 5: what this election is about for me and is why
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 5: I decided to get in the race and hoping that
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 5: people will cast at least one of the votes tomorrow.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: For Smithmy Well and of course Corey Bowman's top three
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: items in terms of agenda, safety, infrastructure, and budget it
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: sounds me like a similar list that you might come
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: up with, Christopher Smitheman. Are you in accord with Corey
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: Bowman's list of priorities there?
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 5: Look absolutely, Corey Bowman has a really good chance to win.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 5: People have been counting them out, and I'll just share
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 5: with the public. I can't tell you the number of
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 5: doors that I've knocked on them where people said to me,
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 5: I can't put a sign up because I'm worried about
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 5: my neighbor. You know, there's a silent majority of people
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 5: out there who aren't putting a sign up, but they're
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 5: going to vote for him tomorrow, and so I don't
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 5: know what's going to happen. This could be an upset tomorrow,
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 5: but it's going to be dependent upon turnout. And so
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 5: there's so many people out there who believe that their
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 5: vote doesn't count. I think it takes maybe I don't know,
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 5: less than ten minutes to vote, you know not. You
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 5: know you walk in there. You know they're not long lines.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 5: I wish there were. You cast your vote and you're
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 5: in your car ready to go to work. The polls
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 5: open at six point thirty right around your house, and
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 5: they close at seven thirty tomorrow. And so this is
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 5: about sending a message, I tell you, and I know
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 5: we've got to go from this segment what has happened
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 5: to not just Chief Fiji, but what's happened to Chief Washington.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 5: It is a is a terrible situation and a terrible
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 5: look for a fire and police, because these are the
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 5: two very important critical parts of the city of Cincinnati.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 5: The people who run into burning fires, come into the house,
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 5: ems pull you out, you know, get you back, get
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 5: you to a hospital. And then those who come there
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 5: with their firearm if they have to to protect your life.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 5: How do you have both of these organizations at the
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 5: same time in disarray? That is absolutely I've never seen
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 5: anything like this, so chaotic, and so my point to
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 5: you is that we can do. We can do a
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 5: majority of council. You talked about Corey Bowman pre mayor,
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 5: but let me say Gooding, Keating, Matthews, Cole, Dreehouse, Smitherman.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 5: Now I'm not saying vote for all of those people.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 5: I'm suggesting to the public that there are a number
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 5: of good people that are running that we could change
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 5: the face of council and the mayor's office at the
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 5: same time.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: Well, at least change the face of council if you
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: don't change the mayor's office, because we need an infusion
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: of an alternative point of view, which we do not
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: have right now into the one hundred percent democratic sin
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: Sini City council will bring Christopher Smithman back at seven
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: twenty five right now at fifty five kr CD talk station,
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: I get a recommendation.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 6: To see the talk station.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: Seven nine fifty five kr CD talk station. So let's
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: say you don't want to vote for Republican, you can
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: vote for an independent. Christopher Smithment hoppens to be one
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: of those Charter Right candidates like Steve Gooden. You got
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: those to choose from. And then of course some really
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: decent Republican candidates running in the City of Cincinnati. It
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: sounds unusual, but we've had Republicans before. Liz Keating is
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: running again. She was elected previously, right, Christopher.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean councilwoman Keating. I served with her, solid person,
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 5: does her homework, easy to work with, great mom, great wife,
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 5: great family. I mean, this is a Cincinnati family, the
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 5: Keating family, who's given a lot the Cincinnati in our region.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 5: You know, if you don't know the Keating family, you
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 5: should google the name and and see what their contribution
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 5: has been to our community. So a phenomenal family. Linda Matthews,
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 5: who's running, solid person, uh, hard worker, common sense. I
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 5: have not served with her on council, but would look
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 5: very much forward to her because I think her voting
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 5: would line up with my own values and I think
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 5: the majority of the values of the city of Cincinnati.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 5: And I could go on and on, you know, identifying
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 5: whether it's good in or whether we're which you've talked about.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 5: A great lawyer I serve with with uh with good
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 5: in and you know we could always count on him
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 5: for sound legal advice. Now this is really important community
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 5: because when you're dealing with the city solicitors all office,
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 5: sometimes you get hogwash out of there, and it's really
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 5: nice to have a lawyer there because I'm not a
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 5: lawyer who can unpack things. That was Kevin Flynn was
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 5: another great lawyer that we served with who had a
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 5: great gift of understanding around real estate transactions which have
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 5: to be dealt with in our city because we have
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 5: so much blight, and so we were able to get
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 5: control of properties from bad landlords out of town. You know,
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 5: good and serves in that kind of capacity. And I
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 5: could go on and on. The key thing that I'm
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 5: trying to identify to those who are voting in my
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 5: closing argument tomorrow one is we need you to show
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 5: up and we need you to call and make sure
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 5: your children that live in the city and your friends
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 5: that live in the city that they vote. That's number one,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 5: and number two, that you vote strategically, that you don't
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 5: vote for more than four or five people for council.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 5: This is a very important thing to understand in the
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 5: nine x system that we have in the City of Cincinnati.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 5: So I give a lot of names because I'm trying
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 5: to cover everybody's interest. Right I'm an independent, you know,
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 5: vote for me. You know I've identified people who are
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 5: Republicans and Charter rights and even a Democrat. My point
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 5: is you can change the complexion of council where we
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 5: get our arms around crime. And the reason I say that,
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 5: Brian in this event is that if we don't deal
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 5: with crime, which by the way, is a non partisan issue,
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 5: like no one should be out here debating whether we
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 5: need to deal with crime and get our arms around
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 5: this violence that we're seeing. So if we're able to
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 5: do that, we can then attract conferences and guests and
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 5: businesses and money into the City of Cincinnati. If we
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 5: don't and we're unable to do that, we keep marching
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 5: closer and closer to the cliff. Of Chicago and Detroit.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 5: That's what we don't want to.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: Do, right, And that's also places where they've experimented with
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: this defund rethink reimagine the police, and it hasn't gone
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: real well for them. I mean, that's about something I
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: look back on the uh, the the current administration, the
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: parole administration. I think he kind of ran on that
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: reimagine the police. We all know about iris role in
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: her involvement with the City of Cincinnati. She's no big
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: fan of the police department, so they would argue, oh,
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: we do care about crime. Their solutions for dealing with
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: crime don't work, though, you know, rewarding criminals for showing
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: up at their at their uh there, oh gosh, parole
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: parole meetings. Yeah, I mean paying them essentially to show
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: up at a parole meeting. When it used to be that, well,
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: if you didn't show up to your parole meeting, you
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: meet your your parole officer, you would be thrown back
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: in jail because the condition of the prole is that
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: you met with them on a regular basis. Now we've
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: flipped it over to well, rather than just going down
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: that road, we're just gonna give them a candy bar
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: or some you know, some positive reinforcement for doing something
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: we're ordered to do when they got out on parole.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: That is a mechanism that they think is a positive
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: one for dealing with crime, and we all know it
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: doesn't work. So, I mean, has have thing's gotten better
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: over the last four years? Have the number of police
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: officers in the police since a police department contingent gone
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: up over the past four years, Christopher, I think they've
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: at best remained static. So there's been no improvement on
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: retaining laterally or either or by way of new classes.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: Additional police people are police officers to patrol the streets.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: That's not something obviously the administration wanted to do.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 5: That's true, and they've done it. That's how they've been
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 5: reimagining and defunding the police is through that attrition. They
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 5: know they're two hundred officers who are who can retire
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 5: right now, who are in drop eight years in they're out,
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 5: but they could leave in the first year, the second, third,
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 5: or fourth they can leave right now, and so they're
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 5: ready for retirement. And how we treat those two hundred
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 5: officers will determine whether they leave right now. You'll see
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 5: me working very hard to try to reassure those two
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 5: hundred officers in drop. Maybe it's one hundred and eighty
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 5: today because twenty of them have already bailed on it.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 5: But the reality of it is is I'll be reaching
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 5: out saying we want you to stay. I also want
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 5: to speak directly to African American voters out there.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: All right, hold hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: I taste we're bumping up against a break. So with
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: that as the setup, we'll bring Christopher back, who can
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: speak directly to my black friends in the listening audience,
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: says seven thirty five, seven thirty nine, fifty five kro
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: CD talk station. Not the last time he's gonna be
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: on the fifty five Karosee Morning show, New New, New New.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: Hopefully continue to get smith Van's on into the future.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: I'm asking that of you, Christopher, because I appreciate what
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: you have to say. But hopefully I will be talking
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: to Councilman Christopher Smithment after tomorrow's election, maybe even ooh,
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati again. Christopher. I
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: don't know which direction Corey's going to go, but we
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: will have a new city manager, and I was thinking about, Oh,
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: wouldn't it be great with like a guy like Todd
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: Zenzer's city manager, someone who understands Finance's former Inspector General
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: for the United States, the one who spends his free
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: time in retirement sifting through the craziness that goes on
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: in city council every single day. That'd be a good guy.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: But you were mentioning the black listeners, the African American folks,
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: and the listening audience. You wanted to speak directly to them,
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: what's on your mind as far as my black listening
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: audience or Christopher.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 5: So disproportionately, disproportionately, the gun violence is impacting our community.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 5: And when I say our community is not just Brian Thomas,
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 5: white voters that live across our fifty two neighborhoods care
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 5: deeply about the bloodshed of American citizens who are defined
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 5: as African American in our communities, and so we're all
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 5: concerned about it. But for African Americans, you've got to
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 5: think about our nephews and our children who are being
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 5: murdered on a weekly basis. And so the question is,
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 5: we can't continue to have this kind of bloodshed in
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 5: our community with out an appropriate response from city hall.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 5: It's one thing to put a mural in the middle
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 5: of the ground and say, man, I really can I
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 5: really am concerned about black lives matter. There's another thing
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 5: to say, we're actually going to put the resources that
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 5: make sense, which starts with a well trained police department
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 5: in order to get the shooters, in order to do
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 5: the investigations, and for us to get our arms around crime.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 5: And so that's what saves lives. It's not sending counselors
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 5: out and and us reimagining a police department is saying listen,
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 5: and when I go do order door and bond Hill
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 5: rolls on in everything. I'm not talking about just African Americans.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 5: I'm talking African American voters. They want the police, they
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 5: support the police. Even members of their their family members
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 5: are costs. The police department in Cincinnati is one of
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 5: the most diverse by race, by gender, by age, as
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 5: far as as far as is a city department that
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 5: we have in the city. My point to African American
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 5: voters is we've got to vote our interests, not our party.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 5: We've got to vote our interests. We've got to get
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 5: off this democratic sample ballot where we're voting just down
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 5: a d and not thinking about what is in the
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 5: best interests of our family, what is in the best
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 5: interests of bond Hill. And by the way, if you're
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 5: a person that lives in bond Hill, what they decided
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 5: to do for villages and Daybreaks is put this low
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 5: income housing facility right there in near the villages of Daybreaks,
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 5: which is absolutely tearing down the equity in that community.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 5: People have a five hundred thousand dollars house. Most Americans,
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 5: most of their wealth is stilling their homes in this country.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 5: Why would a democratically controlled council and a mayor do
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 5: that to the seventh ward? Why would they do that
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 5: to bond Hill and Roseland by the way, because it's
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 5: not just bond Hill that's impacted by that, it's also
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 5: Roseline that's impact that by that. And so if von
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 5: Hill just wakes up tomorrow and they just vote down
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 5: the same Democratic ticket, you're gonna get the same results,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 5: You'll get the same consequence. And so this notion out
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 5: here where I've got to continue to educate African Americans
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 5: vote your interest, not a party. I am so frustrated
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 5: at times in our community where Democrats can just they
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 5: were yelling this at the Board of Elections yesterday. You know,
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 5: smiling Mien is this and smilll Min is that, and
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 5: vote down the Democratic ticket. Just vote for the Democrats.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 5: What is that? They're like, we're like sheep, and they're
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 5: trying to hurt us into a corner, as if we
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 5: don't have interest and we don't have independent thoughts. I'm
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 5: trying to communicate to our community. I am a person
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 5: that says they're good Republicans, Independents, Democrats all in this race.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 5: Do not take the sample ballot tomorrow, go in prepare
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 5: to vote for four or five people for council. I
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 5: suggest that you vote for Corey Bowman and let's turn
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 5: this city around together.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: Christopher, You've been knocking doors now since your campaign started,
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: and I've been really intense lately. I mean, I'm very
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: serious when I ask this question, because I know there's
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: somebody out there who thinks we're on the right path
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: in the city. Have you run into anyone who says, no, No, Christopher,
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: things are good in the Cincinna in Cincinnati because of
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: fill in the blank, something this mayor in this administration
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: has done. Because honestly, and maybe it's my political bias.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: I'm hard pressed to come up with really something that's
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: great about the per Voll administration. Has anybody defended it
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: to you and cited a specific example they have it.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 5: What they say is to me, I'm disappointed in council collectively.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 5: I'm even disappointed in this mayor. But I'm concerned about
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 5: Corey Bowman and who his brother is. And so we've
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 5: had to unpop this this narrative where they're saying I'm
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 5: not going to vote for either run of them, and
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 5: I think that's the wrong position for our community. And
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 5: so yes, haven't run into anybody who said, like in
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 5: Hyde Park or Mount Lookout or Mount Washington, or whether
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 5: we were live dropping in California or Colddale, I don't
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 5: care where we've been. I haven't had anybody come out
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 5: and defend this administration, defend this mayor, or defend this council.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 5: They're very neutral to negative on it. The issue here
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 5: is that their party affiliation is blinding the voter to
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 5: the local election. And what Mayor pure Val has been
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 5: trying to do is bring the national politics to the
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 5: local and people don't understand that there is no connection.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 5: When you're electing your local politicians, you're thinking about a
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 5: snow removal, you're thinking about pothole, You're thinking about your
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 5: stop sign, garbage, your police, your fire, the operation and
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 5: running of your city. This is not about who the
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 5: president is. This is not about who the governor is.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 5: Is it about your local I mean, these are the
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 5: elected officials that put your life on a daily basis,
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 5: And you want to make sure that you put a
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 5: collection of people down there that put Cincinnati first, not
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 5: trying to go to DC, not using us as a
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 5: launching pad to go somewhere else. And so when I
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 5: think about elected officials, I go, Okay, what is this
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 5: person trying to do? I don't Gooden has no interest
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 5: in going anywhere other than trying to be a great
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 5: council person. I feel the same way about Keating, right.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 5: I feel the same way about Corey Bowman, like you know,
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 5: I feel the same way about Linda Matthews. I feel
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 5: the same way about a cold I mean, three houses
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 5: lived on the West Side forever. He's not trying to
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 5: be a state repert. He's not trying to go up
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 5: and be a senator, be a congressional member, These are
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 5: people that are just wanting to make Cincinnati better, and
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 5: we keep electing people based on brand and name ID
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 5: and whether I think they're cute and all that kind
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 5: of mess. And at the end of the day tomorrow
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 5: at seven thirty, when those polls close, elections will have consequences.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 5: You will either go another four years of this bloodshed
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 5: and craziness, or you'll say I want to change. I say,
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 5: let's make a change tomorrow, which means that we've got
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 5: to get off our dusts. We've got to walk over
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 5: to those polls tomorrow. We've got to call on neighbors
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 5: and our friends and make sure that they vote tomorrow
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 5: like their life depends on it, because it does well.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: And I cannot recall specifically at AFTAB provol campaigned on
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: I don't remember him prioritizing public safety, infrastructure, and budgeting.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: Those are the three things that Corey is all about,
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: and those do not bear a political stripe. Christopher, as
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned, you know, is your road fixed now?
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: Was it fixed when he took office? And I think
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: for a lot of people the road looks the same
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: as it did four years ago. It still needs to
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: be repaved. That's been a failure demonstrably. So you can
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: show objectively on paper that we're behind forty years worth
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: of road paving or whatever, how any hundreds of miles
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: in lane. That's a failure. So maybe he didn't campaign
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: on that. Maybe he can say, well, I never promised
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: better roads. Well wait a second, that's one of your
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: primary duties as mayor's part of of the administration is
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: to make sure our roads are okay.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 5: So that's one of the worst things that I think.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 5: One of the worst things this mayor did, right is
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 5: he pushed the sell of our three hundred miles of
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 5: rail down to Tennessee, where we were getting thirty six
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 5: million dollars in perpetuity, which would have been forty to
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 5: or forty three million in the next few years per
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 5: year in perpetuity. You don't give up land, people. It's
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 5: hard to get land. Our forefathers had this vision. We
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 5: were the only city in the United States of America
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 5: that had three hundred miles of land. This guy takes
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 5: on the mayorship and in four years pushes to sell
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 5: it all. And what Brian Thomas is talking about is
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 5: our infrastructure, which is directly connected to the cell of
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 5: the It was a terrible decision, meaning air rights are
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 5: going to be huge for Amazon and Google and those things.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 5: I'm talking about air rights above the three hundred miles
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 5: of land that we have. And I'm not even smart
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 5: enough to understand all the technology around air rights. All
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 5: I know is land doesn't come around every day. It is.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 5: It is, and you don't give it up the way
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 5: the city gave it up. And it only passed by
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 5: a few thousand volts one way or another. But we
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 5: got to remember that this mayor was out pushing that deal.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 5: It was a terrible deal for us. This mayor should
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 5: have said, no, I'm not going to sell the rail.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 5: You know how many council members and mayors have come
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 5: and said, hey, man, I think we should sell the rail.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 5: I think we should sell our water. I think we
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 5: should sell our sanitation department. I mean, I think we
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 5: should sell our parking system. This guy actually pushed it
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 5: and successfully did it, and there were people who just
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 5: followed him because they followed down the ballot, the simple
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 5: ballot that said vote for the sale of our rail,
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 5: and the voter didn't even know what they were voting for.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 5: And we have now lost an asset community that we
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 5: can never get back. Just on that one point, I
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 5: would say I can't support this mayor. His public policy
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 5: is wrong for the city, and I would tell you
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 5: whether he wins or he loses tomorrow, it won't be
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 5: on my vote. I can look him in the eyesight.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 5: I didn't vote for you, and there were good reasons
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 5: I didn't vote for you, and it's why I support
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 5: Corey Bowman, and I just Corey Bowman can win tomorrow.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 5: Brian Thomas, the voter turnout is low enough. If the
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 5: West Side shows, if Hyde Park and Mount Lookout shows,
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 5: if places like Mount Washington show up right to vote,
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 5: I'm letting you know Corey Bowman will be the next
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 5: mayor of the City of Cincinnati if they decide to
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 5: stay home. They're almost sixteen thousand registered voters in High Park,
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 5: but only three or four thousand of them vote. If
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 5: ten thousand of them show up, if eleven thousand of
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 5: them show up. Based on what this mayor did to
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 5: hide Park, and even during the debate, he said, I
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 5: know better than you. Connected communities is what we need.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 5: The zoning thing we did for all our fifty two
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 5: neighbors was would basically destroy us.
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 8: All.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 5: This guy pushed that too. I'm saying, if those neighborhoods
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 5: are mad enough and they actually show up, Corey Bowman
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 5: will be the next mayor of the City of Cincinnati
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 5: tomorrow at seven thirty.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: Christopher Smith and hopefully Councilman Christopher Scivelman tomorrow after seven
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: thirty as well. Christopher.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 5: Love you, Brian pot thank you for all the time, man.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 5: I appreciate you. Brother.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: We'll talk again, hopefully after you're elected. Seven to fifty
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: one visition. Happy Monday. Oh, he's made extra special, extra
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: happy and good morning to the uh covert group of
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: ladies who wait patiently for this moment in time every
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 1: Monday for Brian James MW or Financial to join the
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: program and talk about well, money Monday, Money Monday matters,
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: and we've got some cool topic to talk about. Welcome back,
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: Brian James.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 12: Thank you if you love our ladies' support group out there,
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 12: haven't heard from them since. I'm gonna go ahead and
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 12: assume that we nailed their questions there a few weeks.
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: Well, I liked it. I think they're out. I like
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: you can just stop it, you know you like ladies period,
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter whether they're a sport group. Listening to you,
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: Brian James, but uh yeah, I'm pretty much full on
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: record with the concept anyway, Brian James Scott to ask
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: you about that gang yesterday, I was there.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 6: I was there, you were there.
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, I thought, let's give him a chance.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 6: We'll see how this goes. And the offense is amazing.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 12: It's like they haven't missed to meet without Burrow, which
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 12: just sounds like sacrilege to say. But oh my gosh,
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 12: the defend on defense on the other end of the
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 12: spectrum completely absolutely.
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny you mentioned Burrow. My wife brought that
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: up a couple of times. He goes, I wonder if
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: Burrow's sweating bullets about his job. So I don't think
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: they're gonna get rid of Joe anytime soon, but glassdraw
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: he is, and if he gets injured one more time,
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: I think the writing's on the wall. Of course, we've
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: been well taken care of on an offense perspective, but wow,
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: that defense was just a total letdown. Maybe we'll get
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 1: some personnel changes coming out of that one.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 12: You know, we look at this and we spend Monday
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 12: and Tuesday every week just looking for those headlines and
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 12: they just never come. So apparently it is exciting down
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 12: there on the river for this kind of performance.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: Nice segue, because the headlines we're going to talk about
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: starting out of the gate here on money matters is
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: our money Monday issues, the latest on the shutdown in
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: its varying impacts on stock markets and benefits and social security.
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: And I observe something this morning, one of the you know,
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: the the ringing of hands and the gnashing of teeth
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 1: brought about by the end of snap benefits. And there
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: were two court rulings on Friday which said the trumpet
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: or the Trump administration must use emergency reserve funds during
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: the shutdown. So there's five billion dollars in funds that
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: are sitting behind the scenes. The USDA had originally planned
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: to use those in the event of a shutdown. The
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: Trump administration said no, it's not allowed to use them.
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: But now they have illegal too legal opinions saying you
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: have to do it, And they haven't said they're going
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: to appeal yet, and they just said something along the
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: lines of, well, we need more clarity first. If we're
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: given an appropriate legal direction by the court, it will
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 1: be my honor to provide the funding. Now, I think
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: politically speaking, and I know we normally don't dwell dwell
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: on politics, but Snap shutdown bad and people are going
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: to start looking for folks to blame. And while I
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: do not believe the Republicans are to be blamed for
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 1: this shutdown, given that they want to keep funding at
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: the original last year Biden level funding, which includes all
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 1: the programs that Democrats love. Democrats wanted to use this
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: to increase the government spending and include a lot of
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: folks in regard to these supplements that they've been getting
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: to make Obamacare appear palatable. But these two rulings would
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: allow the Trump administration to go ahead and continue to
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: pay at least for the never next several weeks without
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: the Snap folks feeling the pinch of the shutdown that
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: buys the time.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 12: I would think, well you would think, but I think
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 12: the fact that the federal judges came out we've now
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 12: had two legal rulings saying that yes, you must use
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 12: these dollars for this purpose, Well, that has nothing to
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 12: do with what's gonna what the reality is going to
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 12: be that the Trump administration generally ignores those kinds of
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 12: rules anyway, and those kinds of ultimatums.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 6: No, but it's.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: Suggests that it would follow them. I mean, I trust me,
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: I understand where you're coming from from. Generally speaking, that's
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: what we might expect an appeal A No, no, Moss,
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to do it. But I mean, he
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: did say I'm happy to follow the court order. Just
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: show me the guidance. I'll be I'll do it. But
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: like I said, I think that will be politically advantageous
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 1: for Trump because the government remains shut down. But they
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: are using the funds that are parked in the back
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: somewhere to pay the Snap folks.
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right.
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 12: And there are forty two million people out there, about
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 12: one in eight people are olden snap and they're looking
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 12: at that's who is of course looking at disruptions to
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 12: their families. And when are we going to see you
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 12: know that we've already seen the headlines of the lines
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 12: outside the food pantries and all that kind of thing. Right,
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 12: when are those places going to run out of food?
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 12: If they're not already so there will literally be no option.
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 12: Where how close are we to that? And you got
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 12: to think that some good chunk of these forty two
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 12: million people did actually vote for Trump a year ago,
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 12: so I would I think it would be politically expedient
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 12: for him to do so. He just seems to be
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 12: waiting for more and more information or more. I'm not
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 12: sure what the different outcome is going to be other
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 12: than making it a much much louder when it actually
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 12: does happen.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 1: We'll wait and see. But again, I think they're trying
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: to just just wait it out. See how if there
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: is pain out there we're all going to experience. Who
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 1: ultimately gets blamed for this? We go back to that
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: ridiculous blame game. And I think the answer to that
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: question is pretty obvious anyway. What about its impact on
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: the stock market? What about its impact on social Security?
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, because the market still seems to be plowing
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: along doing quite nicely, hasn't really reacted to this shutdown much?
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 1: Is that going to happen soon?
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 12: Brian James, Well, I mean, I don't see it happening
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 12: anytime soon, because the end of the day here, all
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 12: we really care about in the stock market is profit
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 12: margin period, end of story.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 6: That's all we've ever cared about. I think that's all
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 6: we will care about.
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 12: So these kinds of things, and I don't mean to
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 12: be little for the people who are stuck in it,
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 12: but as far as the stock market goes, this is
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 12: a sideshow, And at the end of the day, there's
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 12: still an awful lot of catalysts and things out there
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 12: that are moving the market in a positive direction. We
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 12: are seeing a lot of earnings reports. We're in earning
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 12: season now, so we're seeing earnings come out very positively,
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 12: and there just doesn't seem to be much signed, as
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 12: you said, of any real pullback. So we've talked before
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 12: about the impact of a shutdown on the overall stock market,
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 12: and it generally doesn't seem to be all that impactful.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 12: We are at the point of, depending on who you
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 12: talk to, this may be the longest shutdown or it
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 12: will be shortly, depending on.
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 6: Whose list of days that you're looking at.
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 12: There's a bit of a question as to how long
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 12: the last one was, but the thirty four days is
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 12: the number I'm sticking to. We're about at that now,
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 12: and there doesn't appear to be any on the horizon
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 12: any end to it. So we'll see if we can
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 12: make one long enough that it actually has an impact
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 12: on the stock market. But I'm not holding my breath
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 12: too much that this should be too impactful for people
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 12: as far as their investments go.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 6: Obviously, that's one tiny.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: Part of all this stuff, right, is that to say,
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: the folks that would be most impacted by a protracted
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: government shutdown, let's say SNAP is impacted, or some other
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 1: social welfare program might get impacted, or some other peripheral
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: form of the twenty five percent, you know, discretionary expenditures
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 1: of government. Is it that they don't impact the economy
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: much by way of their buying decisions or is there
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 1: something that I'm missing?
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 12: Well, yeah, I mean that this is this is a
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 12: group of people who are you know, benefiting from the
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 12: the the the ability to get food and sustenance from
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 12: the federal government. Uh, and not that's not going to
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 12: surface very much in our companies making money or not
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 12: quite frankly, because there's not a lot of money left
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 12: over in those households to do the kinds of things
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 12: that drive the economy. So that's not pulling a significant
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 12: amount of dollars out of the economy.
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 6: That's why it's not really having an impact.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 12: If it was the market always likes to anticipate these things,
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 12: market would have come down weeks ago in anticipation of
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 12: some kind of massive change in consumer spending.
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's exactly what I would have expected. Doesn't
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 1: think a real rocket science to come to that conclusion,
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 1: But I guess prior shutdowns have had a comparable lack
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: of market impacts. So you saw that kind of as
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 1: a prior guide, right.
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 12: And frankly, I think that's what what this administration is
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 12: relying on, that these things that we that we have
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 12: that have been kind of laid into bedrock by the
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 12: Democrats are not as impactful to the overall health of
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 12: the country versus obviously they're extremely impactful to the groups
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 12: of people that they benefit, But in terms of the
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 12: overall health and success of the company of the country,
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 12: I think the Republican side just says, look, this isn't
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 12: going to hurt the country in the long run. Let's
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 12: go ahead and fight it and see if we can't
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 12: change things around kind of more fundamentally than we have
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 12: in the past.
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 1: All right, now, in so far as social security is concerned,
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: without diving into the loophole, we're going to talk about
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 1: to next talk about next. I know it's been an
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 1: odd revelation for a lot of folks that the government
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: shutdowns means that there are certain areas of government that
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: aren't there to do the work they do. For example,
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 1: numbers crunchers. You know, we can't do this without the
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 1: CBO doing their job, or we can't do this because
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 1: such and so bureau behind the scenes is not doing
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 1: its number crunching job anything. In so far as social
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: Security is concerned, I have many listeners out there who
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 1: receiving Social Security or anticipating receiving it soon. Is that
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 1: is the government shutdown impacting them? I know, we just
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 1: recently got the cost of living adjustment that would everybody
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: who's waiting for.
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 12: Yeah, no, I am not hearing anything obviously. I've got
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 12: a lot of clients that are yetting from Social Security
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 12: and we're not hearing a single word about that now.
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 12: I do think that the Republicans that are pushing this,
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 12: that are wanting to hold onto the shutdown on. Frankly,
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 12: the Democrats too. Nobody's really talking about social Security. I
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 12: think everybody knows that that is the third rail, because
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 12: that is the largest group of people we have in
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 12: this country, they all vote and they have time to
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 12: pay attention to the headlines. So if you affect those checks,
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 12: that the backlash from that is going to be swift
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 12: and fierce. So I have not heard anything about changes
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 12: coming to Social Security program impacted by the shutdown itself,
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 12: other than it's always a little bit tougher to get
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 12: any information out of the government that we wasn't quick
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 12: and efficient anyway. So I don't know that that's going
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 12: to have all that much of an impact on the
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 12: general day to day operations of Social Security.
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: And I know a lot of the shutdown is based
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 1: in premise upon the Democrats wanting to continue these extension
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: of the Obamacare supplements that are scheduled to end at
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: the end of the year. So the new Obamacare premium
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 1: numbers are rolling out, which if none of the shut
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: down happened and there was no legislative change, this would
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: have happened as a matter of logic and reason, because
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 1: they were set to shut down at the end of
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 1: the year. So what we're seeing now is the reality
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: of the cutoff date. People are angry, I suppose, about
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 1: not getting the supplements anymore, but I don't see that
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 1: as being this like Snap benefits being cut off having
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 1: the same sort of outcome in terms of rage. Where
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 1: are we on that one, Brian Well.
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 12: I think it's going to take longer for it to
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 12: sink in what that actually means to people versus, you know,
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 12: the snap benefits that means I can't get food this
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 12: week from right right now.
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 6: That's going to get my attention right away, versus these
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 6: premiums that I ever really understood to begin with. It's
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 6: going to be a while down.
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 12: The road that they actually filter through and help people
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 12: and people realize exactly what that impact is of those
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 12: costs going up out of pocket. But it's going to
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 12: be the same reaction at the end of the day
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 12: if the ends don't meet.
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 6: The ends don't meet.
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 12: We started it with food, and we're going to move
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 12: into healthcare and there eventually there's going to be a
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 12: pretty loud hue and cry over that from somewhere hasn't
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 12: happened yet.
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: Though it hasn't happened yet, Well, don't put your heart,
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: in your faith, in your future in the hands of
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 1: a politician. It will never work out, regardless of who
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 1: you're relying on. Eight sixty more with Brian James, gonna,
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: it's eight nineteen here in fifty five Karasini Talk Station.
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas with money Mondays Brian James or financial loans
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 1: them out for a few segments every week at this time,
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: and diving on it. Sosa's Security. I'd never heard that
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 1: children could get So's security benefits. And I suppose there's
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 1: a couple of hoops you have to jump through on this,
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 1: but some big ones if you're sixty two years or older.
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking there's not a lot of them that have
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 1: minor age children or children that will be eligible for
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: some slice of the pie. Again, break this down for
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 1: my listeners and me, Brian.
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 12: Yeah, so you called this a loophole a couple times
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 12: this morning.
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 6: I'm not sure i'd go there.
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 12: Somebody heard that and said, oh cool, here's something I
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 12: can go do.
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 6: Okay, okay, okay, free money.
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 1: Since you brought that up, you know, as a lawyer,
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 1: and my first dog, I named him loophole because there's
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 1: a joke that behind that. But these loopholes don't exist.
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: If it's in there, they intended it to be there.
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: I'm thoroughly convinced that the people who write the tax
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: code are writing in what you and I might proceed
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: to be loopholes for the intended benefit of some person
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 1: that's well connected with the tax law writers. Just me
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: being jaded and cynical. Brian James, fair.
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 6: Enough, fair, thank you?
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 12: So yeah, I just didn't want somebody to think, oh, hey,
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 12: here's a new thing, a trick I can play and
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 12: get myself some free money. Does that a pretty big
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 12: hoop you got to jump through for this? So really
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 12: this information is for people who may already be in
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 12: this situation and weren't aware of this benefit. What we're
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 12: talking about is social security benefits for dependent children of
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 12: people who are Social Security age and are actually drawing
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 12: on Social Security. Now you might think, do the quick
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 12: math on that. That might be you know, that's somebody
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 12: who had kids in their mid to late forties, if
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 12: not fifties.
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 6: Yes, that's true.
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 12: But we're also the other benefit here, or the other
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 12: group people we're talking about it is people who you know,
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 12: maybe grandparents who adopted a child from their own adult children.
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 1: Because the mess well, okay, fair enough, fair enough on
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: that one. I know I personally know some quote unquote
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 1: grandparents who are now raising their children's children because of
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: well drug issues, and some of them passed away. So
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: there's always that possibility.
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 12: Absolutely, and that's why this is out there, So I
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 12: wouldn't call it a loophole, just kind of a safety
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 12: net for these situations to be particularly challenging. So right now,
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 12: only about one percent of Social Security beneficiaries or children,
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 12: so that's not this is not a huge amount of
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 12: people that we're seeing here. However, now with with economic
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 12: situations kind of dictating, current generations are having kids later
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 12: and later and later. So we'll see how this pans
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 12: out over the next fifteen twenty years. There may be
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 12: that percentage may go up, so the checks can be
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 12: good size Brian about eight hundred bucks to one thousand
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 12: dollars per child per month, and which oftentimes that the
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 12: income gets used to, you know, boost college savings or
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 12: offset childcare costs. That's kind of the whole point of
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 12: making sure that these older families can get benefits.
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 6: For or can get the lifestyles they need for their children.
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 12: This can start as early as age sixty two, same
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 12: as Social Security. But that also because remember the whole
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 12: trigger of this is that you have to file your
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 12: self right, so That means you're filing earlier to tap
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 12: into these benefits that are available for you and your
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 12: your dependent children. That means you're not waiting till seventy anymore.
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 12: You're gonna go ahead and you know, and get that going.
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 12: And then if you file it's so sixty two, that's
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 12: gonna knock down your benefit brob probably twenty five to thirty.
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 6: Percent less for life.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 12: Right, it's just the math behind it, that's not you know,
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 12: sometimes it can make sense to do that, sometimes it doesn't.
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 12: It's the whole purpose of financial planning, right.
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 1: You break the numbers down and you do the math
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 1: and you figure out whether it's better to take it
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 1: at sixty two or to wait off because you can't.
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 1: I suppose it's unlikely the older you get, moving towards
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: seventy two. I suppose that you're going to have a
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 1: minor age child. I'm living in your home, right, yes, yeah.
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 12: That's the something is then you've got challenges anyway if
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 12: that's happening, So don't rush out and have a kid.
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 6: Whatever.
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: There's a bunch of multi multi millionaire geriatrics, you know,
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 1: octogenarians that are marrying twenty something, so don't say it
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 1: can't happen.
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 12: They good very well, and that's why this benefit exists.
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 12: So if you're having trouble making ends meet, you are
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 12: in this situation. And this is not new by the way,
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 12: this has been around since like the thirties, But just
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 12: be aware that that benefit is out there for you
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 12: to help you out well.
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: And I understand this money is tax free for the
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 1: children because you know they probably aren't making enough to
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 1: pay federal taxes in any way, right.
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 12: Correct, Yeah, And you can still claim them as dependents
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 12: as you would have anyway, and then you can turn
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 12: around if you don't need the money to kind of
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 12: fill the gaps, then you can invest it in a
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 12: five twenty nine or some kind of custodial account and
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 12: use it for college benefits down the road. But you
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 12: have to just make sure that that money stays in
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 12: the child's name to avoid Social Security repayment issues.
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 6: That word custodial is very important with that topic.
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: A little opportunity to maybe put the money away for
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 1: the kid for the future if you don't need to
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 1: spend real time.
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it could be.
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 12: And remember there's there are new rules over the last
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 12: couple of years with five twenty nine plans where they
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 12: can actually you can actually turn it into roth Ira contributions.
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 12: Way down the road, there's moving parts to that. But yeah,
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 12: if you put money in a five to twenty nine,
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 12: Now this came out in twenty four, if you've got
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 12: money left over, then for that same beneficiary, it can
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 12: become up to currently about five years worth of roth
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 12: Ira confolutions. Yeah, that five twenty nine has to be
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 12: in place for fifteen years though, so if it's invested.
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 12: I actually I just had a conversation at the Bengals
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 12: game yesterday with a friend of mine about this. Who's
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 12: gonna He's in a situation where he's got money left
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 12: over in his five twenty nine. Yeah, and I said,
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 12: just leave it alone, but make sure it's not in
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 12: the graduate fund, because that's an extremely conservative fund. Because
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 12: the plan is assuming you need it right now for college.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 12: If it's gonna sit and grow for that roth Ira
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 12: game later, get it reinvested in something that's gonna grow
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 12: and has a little bit of risk attached to it.
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 1: Always say I learned something every day. Sadly it's a
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 1: little too late for me to take advantage of that.
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 1: I love the concept of being able to convert that
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 1: leftover money, because we did have some money left over
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 1: in the five to twenty nine for my daughter's account.
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 1: Brian James will continue Price of oil. Peace of God
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 1: passes all human understanding. How does one calculate the price
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 1: of oil? How does one understand what OPEC does and
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 1: does not do. We'll continue on that topic one more,
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 1: with all our financials, Brian Chains it's tay twenty five
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 1: right now. If you nine to fifty five, kerrocd talks
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 1: nation Brian James, money Monday, doing that moneylend day thing
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 1: from all with financial and over to something that's always
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 1: puzzled me and I guess obviously OPEK mean different countries
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 1: coordinating together to determine how much oil is going to cost.
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 1: So if that happened among a coordinated group of domestic companies,
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 1: they would be sued under the Sherman Anti Trust Act.
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 1: So they're constantly and have always been manipulating the price
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 1: of oil. We can go back to the seventies, remember
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 1: how bad things were back then when we didn't produce
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 1: our own But fast forward to today. We are the
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 1: largest exporter of oil on the planet. I think we're
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 1: out producing everybody because of modern technology, fracking, drilling, and permitting.
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 1: So I don't know whether we're impacted by OPEC's decision
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 1: to the extent we used to be. But they decided
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 1: they're going to quit this. I guess they boosted production
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: one hundred and some odd thousand barrels per day up
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: until the end of the year, but they said first
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 1: quarter next year, we're gonna pair that back. What's behind
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 1: all this, Brian.
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 12: James, Well, the same thing they're always looking at was
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 12: just supplying de Man. Just like every other country, every
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 12: other company out there that's trying to make a profit,
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 12: they're always going to try to predict supply and demand
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 12: so they.
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 6: Know what to have on the shelves so that it
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 6: can be demanded.
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 12: So the news headline here is that eight member countries
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 12: of OPEC plus are gonna raise oil production by about
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 12: one hundred and thirty seven thousand barrels per day.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 6: So that sounds like the opposite, right, we're gonna we're
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 6: gonna push supply.
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 12: But afterwards, and here's the really big part of the headline,
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 12: the media part, they're gonna pause any further output hikes
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 12: for Q one, twenty twenty six, so they're going to
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 12: back off on all of it between January and March
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 12: and next year. So this, of course, any any hint
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 12: that we're going to reduce supply will of course push
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 12: prices up. Brent crude moved up to about sixty five
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 12: bucks a barrel, and then the West Texas flavor sixty
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 12: one nineteen or thereabouts. So now that that concern is
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 12: that the market may face a supply surplus here and
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 12: by weaker demand expectations for twenty twenty six. So that
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 12: that's why are they doing this again, trying to match
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 12: up supply and demand and so just just something to
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 12: pay attention to in the back of an otherwise a
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 12: relatively healthy economy.
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 6: But that's certainly going to have an impact somewhere along
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 6: the way.
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I know we've been messing around with sanctions on Russia.
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 1: They are still a big supplier of global oil notwithstanding
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 1: our sanctions. Obviously there are other countries out there that
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 1: are willing to gobble up rushes like it may perhaps
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 1: cheaper oil, but are they wrestling at all with our
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 1: sanctions on Russia or Russia's supply on the open market?
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 1: Is that something that's been factored into this decision making, Brian.
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 6: Everything, especially with oil.
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 12: Oil is the same no matter where you dig it
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 12: out of the ground, so wherever you get it from,
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 12: and that's why everything's so connected. You mentioned earlier the
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 12: US market, we pump about thirteen million barrels a day,
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 12: and that's historically high.
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 6: But those just.
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 12: Because we pump it at home does not mean that
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 12: our oil prices are not impacted by what is being
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 12: paid elsewhere, because again, it's all the same product that
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 12: comes out of the ground. So if other large entities
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 12: change the prices, that's of course going to ripple through
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 12: and the brint prices that's basically out of the UK
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 12: West Texas, of course is here. All that stuff moves
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 12: in Tan. So whenever OPEC signals it's going to tighten
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 12: or loosen supply, those traders react instantly and they move
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 12: the price accordingly.
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 6: Doesn't matter where it.
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 1: Came out of the ground, all right, real quick, I
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 1: don't know how much could possibly exist at sea, but
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 1: I've seen quite a few articles about these tankers that
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 1: are just floating around out there in the world that
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 1: are just filled with oil, and there's just idly sitting by.
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: Are they waiting for the price to go up before
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 1: they bring that in or what's the story? And is
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: that really have a global impact given the finite amount
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: of tankers that could possibly be filled.
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, and that's why, you know, think about it.
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 12: Oil is priced every single minute of every single day,
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 12: just like the stock market, you know.
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 6: So therefore there are there's a.
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 12: Reason to make it, bring to bring it into port
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 12: today versus tomorrow. And so absolutely they'll they'll kind of
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 12: change their routes or slow things down a little bit
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 12: if they think that if they bring it on Tuesday
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 12: versus Monday, it'll squeeze.
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 6: Out a little more income. So absolutely that has an impact.
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 1: One more question I got for you, Brian James, because
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: you know, I've been waiting patiently and hopefully for the
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 1: future when we finally wake up that given our energy
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 1: demand needs, that we finally will start building what they
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 1: call small modular reactors, which are safe and only you
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 1: need five percent of rich uranium, which don't have any Ways,
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 1: military has been running on these things for a long time. Anyway,
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 1: more and more people talking about it. Once you get
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 1: the AI facilities and the multi billionaires who own them
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 1: to step up and start demanding that we want our
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 1: own miniature nuclear plants. It sounds to me like OPEC's
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 1: future maybe on the rocks a little bit. And I'm
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 1: sure they think about this. But if you can get
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 1: nuclear power as opposed to see gas power or oil
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 1: power or any other form of power, it's efficient and
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 1: it's abundant. This is going to impact the oil market
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 1: down the road.
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 6: Absolutely it will.
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 12: And so that's why you know, you commonly hear you
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 12: know the oil companies. I go back to the who
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 12: killed the original electric car? This thirty years ago when
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 12: this story came out, and it actually happened earlier than that.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 12: But yeah, of course they're going to defend their needs there,
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 12: and I don't think we're going to see a lot
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 12: of public outrage or public demand for it until as
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 12: you mentioned, all these data sent and things are going
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 12: to start sucking energy.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that is going to filter through.
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 12: So they're building somebody's building a big data center up
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 12: in Trenton, and that's going to have a pretty significant
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 12: impact on the local power grid up there, and it's
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 12: probably going to have an impact on the prices people
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 12: are paying in that area. And that's happening all over
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 12: the country as these data centers are becoming more and
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 12: more important, with AI becoming more prevalent. So I think
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 12: when that starts hitting electric bills, you're going to start
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 12: to see more and more demand for you know, maybe
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 12: let's worry less about what nuclear stuff has meant in
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 12: the past and worry about the future because and the
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 12: benefits that it can provide for us. Right now, I
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 12: don't think we're there yet, and it's too easy politically
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 12: to just say let's keep pulling oil out of the ground.
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 1: People will wake up to the reality we're not building
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 1: three mile island type plants anymore. The concerns and challenges
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 1: faced by those are no longer existent with modern technology anyway.
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 1: Brian James, always great having you on. Appreciate your willingness
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 1: to talk about these great topics with my listeners me
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 1: and how they might impact the retirement in future. And
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 1: always recommend, right, Brian, get a financial planner sitting on
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 1: your side of the table. See you get sound advice
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 1: with a fiduciary obligation.
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 12: Yep, absolutely, that's what we say every day. And keep
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 12: an eye on the Bengals headlines and we'll stet there
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 12: next week.
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 1: Yes we will, Thanks Brian, take care of a great week.
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 1: Eight thirty five fifty five CARCIT talk station phone lines, Well,
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 1: they will be open if you want station. Hey, thirty
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 1: nine fifty five kr CIT talk station Monday. How about
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 1: them Bengals last night. I'm gonna go over to the phones.
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 1: Got Gene on the line. You can call. I'd love
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 1: to hear from you. Five one three seven four nine
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 1: fifty eight two three talk Gene. Thanks for calling. Happy
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 1: Monday to you.
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 11: Hey, Happy Monday?
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 8: Do you too?
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 11: Listen, I've been around, I've living in Cincinnati all my life,
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 11: and I.
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 4: Grew up in uh.
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 11: I still think and I've always said this the only
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 11: way to handle the June juvenile crime situation in Cincinnati
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 11: is to start making the parts responsible. If you have
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 11: a some type of a curt few to where you
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 11: have to come pick your child up and they warn you, look,
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 11: you know, just to strike one, you know, if you're
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 11: if we catch your son out again, next time you come,
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 11: we're gonna say we're gonna you know, we're gonna find you,
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 11: We're gonna charge you, We're gonna give you a ticket
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 11: or whatever for that. Making sure child is home or whatever.
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 10: You're supposed to do whatever.
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 1: In other words, penalize parents into doing what they should
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 1: be doing anyway.
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 11: Exactly because sometimes that's the only way you And then now,
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 11: don't get me wrong, I grew up with parents that
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 11: couldn't control their kids once they got sixteen, and we're scared.
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 8: Of them, and we're scared.
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 11: Of them, yeah, you know, And and that's people don't
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 11: realize how problem that is or have these parents. Man,
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 11: they're afraid of these kids when they get to be
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 11: when they're when their kids standing there staring them in
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 11: the eye, they had to head you know. And it's
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 11: the only way it's going. It's the only thing that's
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 11: going to change because these a lot of these kids.
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 11: And then my second thing is once these juveniles actually
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 11: give them the trouble, you know, we gotta you gotta
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 11: do some type of of programs that really work, don't
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 11: reward them, but teaching that there's a better way to go.
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 11: That's I mean, we had a program. I'm gonna I'm
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 11: gonna time saying here, but I grew up in the neighborhood.
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 11: We had a we had a program down there in
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 11: the day called West sea where they took an old,
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 11: abandoned building and they taught young guys and young girls
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 11: how to do different trades. And I know people their
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 11: own businesses to this day that are carpenter's electricians, and
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 11: they all got to start back then right doing that
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 11: and made money, but.
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 8: They learned the trade.
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 11: Those are the kinds of things.
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 8: So I'll let you.
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 11: I'll let you go, let your well.
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 1: And that's a good point, Gene, And I'm glad you
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 1: brought that up, because more and more people are rediscovering
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 1: the trades because college education has proved to be outrageously
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 1: expensive and quite often completely worthless given the types of
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 1: degrees that the young people do. It's four years of
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 1: you know, one hundred thousand dollars or whatever it's going
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 1: to cost to go any given college, and do you
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 1: have anything to show for it. On the other side,
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 1: trades welcome a wonderful opportunity to make money while you're learning.
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 1: It's the ultimate answer to artificial intelligence as well. Is
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 1: AI ever going to be able to fix your plumbing
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 1: or build a house or fill in the blank. So yes,
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 1: it's a future that you're buying without having a deal
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 1: with the indebtedis of college education, So props for that reference.
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 1: But insofar as holding a parent's accountable, you mentioned parents
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 1: who might be afraid of their children. Now I've got
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 1: to imagine that.
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 1: I first off, when I was in high school, that
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 1: was the moment in time I realized that I was
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 1: stronger than my father. We arm wrestled or something, and
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 1: I beat him rather quickly and handling, and I think
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 1: he was really just it was like a moment in
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 1: times like, oh my god, my son's now stronger than me.
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 1: I remember the look on his face and just sort
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 1: of realizing that, Now does that mean from a disciplinary
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 1: and respect standpoint and the who's on top of the
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 1: pecking order priority? That I no longer was going to
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 1: listen to my father or parenthetically my mother. Hell no,
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 1: the respect that was built into my growth and my
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 1: growing up transcended physical abilities. At no time that I
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 1: think my dad would ever be afraid of me, And
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 1: at no time would I ever give either of my
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 1: parents a reason to be afraid of me. So there's
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 1: something that's missing all the way up to that moment
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 1: in time where that young person in any given family
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 1: could represent a threat to mom and dad lost opportunity.
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 1: That's the problem right there. And then in a nod
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 1: as some of those parents out there that might have
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 1: children out on the street of late night hours. You know,
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 1: there is such a thing called the late shift, and
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 1: there are single parents out there, and I'm a little
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 1: reluctant to want to hold them accountable unless, for example,
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 1: they have been in front of the juvenile court system
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 1: and involved multiple times, there have been multiple curfew violations,
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 1: they're on notice of it. It's happened in times when
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 1: they did have control or an ability to control their children.
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 1: Perhaps under those circumstances could come up conceptually with an idea.
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 1: But quite a few people can't be home. We've all
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 1: known the concept of latch key kids. Maybe you grew
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 1: up as one, and maybe there was a time or
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 1: two my mom was home all the time. But you know,
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 1: when I came into the house and there was no
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 1: parental authority figure there, I didn't make me want to
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 1: go out and commit crime or break curfews or break
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 1: the law or anything. But it's a very complicated thing
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 1: we're talking about here. But who among us doesn't believe
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 1: in the final analysis, if you had a mom and
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 1: a dad at home, or even a mom and a
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 1: mom and her dad and a dad. If you have
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 1: a two parent household, you got the bases covered when
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 1: the children are around, when the children can be controlled
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 1: that you can keep an eye on them. A loving
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 1: family providing the support and nurturing that a young person
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 1: needs in and of itself, is going to solve the
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 1: vast majority of the crime problem. People at home that care,
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 1: people at home that are demonstrating work ethic. Maybe yeah,
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 1: you're a latch key kid, but you've got respect for
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 1: mom and dad. You come home alone, and you come
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 1: home to an empty house, but they're not there because
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 1: they're working. I was fortunate to grow up in a
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 1: great household. I was fortunate enough to live in a
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 1: nice neighborhood. Nothing weren't always perfect. But in spite of
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 1: the fact that I ended up on radio, I knew
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 1: that there was no way I was going to be
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 1: able to take over the family business. I lived in
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 1: a neighborhood of people who had that option. Grandpa built
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 1: the family business, or dad built the family business. I'm
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 1: planning on working there, but I didn't work out. For
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 1: everybody who was planning on that. But the fear of
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 1: having to take care of myself after being afforded such
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 1: a wonderful lifetime in a wonderful childhood, I grew accustomed
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 1: to that. I wanted that for my own family down
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 1: the road. You know what was going to lead me
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 1: down that path. Paying attention to school and getting a
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 1: good education busted my hump a little bit so that
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 1: I could achieve something by way of, you know, getting
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 1: a job and proving myself to be valuable in the
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 1: face of other people who on a meritocracy were trying
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 1: for the same job. That kind of stuff. I was afraid.
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 1: Circumstances worked out differently than what I anticipated. How I
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 1: could still be practiced in law right now, so, you know,
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 1: a little curveball my direction. After sixteen years of practicing law,
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 1: I ended up in a place that I never thought
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 1: I could be. But when I was young, I realized,
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 1: there's no way you're ever going to be where dad is.
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 1: You can't do what he's doing for a living. You
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 1: better damn well choose a life path that's going to
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 1: put food on your table. A little bit of fear
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 1: goes a long way. At least it worked for me,
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 1: so that work ethic that you latch key kids are
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 1: seeing and witnessing and living. That may be enough to
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 1: put you on the right path. And so far as
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 1: criminality is concerned, I don't know, very complicated my observations. Anyway,
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 1: you can feel free to chime in, give me a call.
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 1: We got one more segment to go, be right back.
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 1: It's eight forty six fifty five KRC five KRC DE
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 1: talk station. I don't write the local news and the
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 1: national news, and I do read them occasionally when we
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 1: get some time at the bottom of the hour. It
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 1: was not mentioned this morning on the recorded news top
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 1: of the hour. I want to mention Bob Trump. He's
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 1: died yesterday, Bengals announced yesterday former tight end Bob Trumpy
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 1: also obviously a very successful broadcasting career after his his
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 1: great effort as a football player. So anyway, I do
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 1: remember the seventies he played between sixty eight and seventy seven,
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 1: then off to the broadcasting booth for NBC among others,
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 1: and of course w CKY andw here locally. So God
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 1: rest you, Bob Trumpy. I know stan Chesley sort of
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 1: bumped you in the obituaries. I'll let you decide whose
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 1: career is more storied and less controversial. Anyhow, I been
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 1: sort of making fun of New Yorkers. It looks like
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 1: they're headlong into mom Dommys mayor. And I know, of course,
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 1: we have this big election tomorrow. Been talking about that
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 1: all morning leading up to today. It is election day eve,
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 1: and you heard Christopher Smithman his strong suggestion. I recommend
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 1: you heed what Christopher suggested doing. But we got mom
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 1: DOMI and been running like the biggest, if not one
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 1: of the largest cities on the planet with no experience
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 1: thirty four years old. Previous rapper worked as a foreclosure
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 1: prevention counselor for some short period of time, basically a
• 2:14:19
  Speaker 1: volunteer for socialist causes. Beyond that, I don't think it
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 1: was the requisite skill sets. Is where I'm going here.
• 2:14:25
  Speaker 1: But he's planning on raising taxes, and since so many
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 1: of the cities millionaires and billionaires have already fled post pandemic.
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 1: The top one percent of the city taxpayers pay forty
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 1: eight percent of the entire personal income tax in New York,
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 1: and many of them go ahead and read the reports.
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 1: The areas outside of the confines of New York cities,
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 1: geographical limits areas like close by yet out of New York, Connecticut.
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 1: I read a couple of articles about bidding wars that
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 1: are going on in housing outside of the New York
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 1: for very wealthy houses. You have people standing around the
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 1: block waiting to get their chance to view the house
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 1: and maybe bid on it. Because it's not in New York,
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 1: riding on the wall. Same thing's gonna happen in in
• 2:15:08
  Speaker 1: in California. California as well, they're planning on a one
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 1: time wealth tax as if they haven't lost enough of
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 1: their multimillionaires. It's a ballot measure. It needs eight hundred
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 1: and seventy thousand signatures to be on next year's ballot
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 1: five percent tax on their net worth, a one time
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 1: five percent net worth levey that would include all their
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 1: unrealized capital gains. So if they're sitting on like a
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 1: one hundred billion dollar stock market portfolio and a bunch
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 1: of big real estate portfolio, I suppose to write a
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 1: five percent check on all that, they're gonna have to
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 1: do some liquidation question if you are in that lucky position,
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 1: enviable enough that you're gonna have the laser shot focus
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 1: of well class envy on you, and you live in California,
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 1: and this is a ballot initiative that's going to be
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 1: on next year's ballot. It is called the twenty twenty
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 1: six Billionaire Tax Act. I think you have to come
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 1: to the conclusion that you're gonna lose that one class
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 1: war warfare is built into the pie or built into
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 1: the equation in California. So you're gonna have to write
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 1: a big check if you stay. How many billionaires are
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 1: going to be left in California if this gathers enough
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 1: signatures to make it to the ballot, decks fall Just
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 1: ask him, and then one more reason to not want
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 1: to live in the City of New York. This is
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 1: hilarious street snitches. They actually pay people to rat out
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 1: folks who are sitting in their cars in idling. Oh
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 1: my god, we're all gonna die. The Big Apple Citizen
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 1: Idling Complaint Program, it's been around since twenty nineteen. Enforcers
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 1: that would be you, if you choose to go down
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 1: this path, are awarded. Twenty five percent of the fines
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 1: that are that go after that are gone after by
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 1: something called the Department of Environmental and substantiated by the
• 2:17:12
  Speaker 1: New York City Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings. It's
• 2:17:16
  Speaker 1: abbreviated OATH anyway, these two entities working together. If you
• 2:17:20
  Speaker 1: rat out a person that you see idling in their
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 1: car and there's fines associated with it, those fines range
• 2:17:28
  Speaker 1: from three hundred and fifty dollars to two thousand dollars
• 2:17:31
  Speaker 1: for idling, ninety five percents of the complaints are substantiated.
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 1: So if you get a substantiated complaint as one of
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 1: these citizen watchdog a street snitch, you get half of
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 1: the fine. Fine. Well, are okay as in fine? Some
• 2:17:49
  Speaker 1: folks out there making some serious coin doing this. This
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 1: guy identified as Ernest Weldy, East Village, Manhattan, getting video
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 1: camera evidence of some bus idling or some car just
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 1: idling more than one minute at a time, he made
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 1: eight hundred and ninety five thousand dollars ratting people out.
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 1: Program of all simply taking phone videos of trucks idling
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 1: for more than three minutes or school buses for more
• 2:18:14
  Speaker 1: than one minute. You submit the footage to the deep
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 1: of the oath area and you are in for a check. Again.
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 1: Ninety five percent of those complaints are called substantiated. So
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 1: that was video evidence that person's idling. We're going to
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 1: write the citizen watchdog a check, and of course the
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 1: rest of the fine gets paid by you, who are
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 1: well idling. Chinese Communist Party negated all of the efforts
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 1: that this idling program brought about. I have to interject
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 1: that come up with an eight fifty six fifty five
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 1: K citytoxation election day tomorrow. I hope you got the memo.
• 2:18:46
  Speaker 1: Breitbart Inside Scoop and Daniel Davis Deep Dive still on
• 2:18:49
  Speaker 1: this
