- 1:41Speaker 1: you know, go to fifty five kr se dot com
- 1:43Speaker 1: stream the audio, but if you just type in fifty
- 1:44Speaker 1: five car sea dot com, apparently it doesn't take you anywhere.
- 1:47Speaker 1: It's fifty five kr seed dot iHeart dot com. Appreciate
- 1:51Speaker 1: the memo from Corporatemasters, right, Russ. They stay keep us
- 1:54Speaker 1: right on top of the game, don't they. Thanks for

- 1:58Speaker 1: five kr se dot com email address off and didn't
- 2:01Speaker 1: even let him know. He went for like two weeks
- 2:03Speaker 1: he wasn't getting any email at all, and finally he's like,
- 2:06Speaker 1: who turned this off? Oh we did? Oh thanks for
- 2:10Speaker 1: the heads up. Sorry, I started to bite the hand
- 2:13Speaker 1: that feeds me. It's not good play as it rusts
- 2:15Speaker 1: it probably shouldn't do that. Monday Monday Brian James at
- 2:17Speaker 1: is Monday eighth five with Brian James. Today we will
- 2:20Speaker 1: talk about why business businesses have tax planning opportunities that
- 2:25Speaker 1: W two employees don't. Five reasons you should claim Social
- 2:29Speaker 1: Security at age seventy assuming you can wait that long,
- 2:33Speaker 1: plus the pros and cons with the one thousand dollars
- 2:35Speaker 1: baby bonus and the Trump accounts, which allows me to
- 2:38Speaker 1: segue over to something I found very fascinating and really
- 2:41Speaker 1: important state of our education system here in the United
- 2:43Speaker 1: States of America. And again remember you can give me
- 2:45Speaker 1: a call if you care to comment. I just props
- 2:49Speaker 1: out to the folks that we spend time with on
- 2:51Speaker 1: Friday and Saturday. A pool party on Friday with a
- 2:54Speaker 1: bunch of friends from long long, long long time ago
- 2:57Speaker 1: for Attorney Brothers and everybody. Wonderful time, and then segue
- 3:01Speaker 1: to Saturday. Friends are neighbors that invited us over and
- 3:04Speaker 1: it is just a beautiful thing. It's like having little
- 3:07Speaker 1: kids at Christmas time, little kids around fireworks. They have
- 3:11Speaker 1: a blast, and it was just so much fun to
- 3:14Speaker 1: have little kids around watching the adults shoot fireworks off.
- 3:18Speaker 1: And I hope you were safe. And you know, the
- 3:21Speaker 1: one thing I observed, and I don't know what people
- 3:24Speaker 1: were thinking going into our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
- 3:28Speaker 1: and the importance of it and all of the celebrations,
- 3:32Speaker 1: most notably the celebration on the ball, it got delayed.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Donald Trump was having nothing to do with canceling, and
- 3:39Speaker 1: I thought that was a bold move. I mean, there
- 3:41Speaker 1: was a big delay because of the weather. Did you
- 3:43Speaker 1: stay up and watch the whole speech and then the fireworks?
- 3:46Speaker 1: The world record fireworks with more than eight hundred and
- 3:48Speaker 1: fifty thousand shells blowing up. Truly impressive, it was, but
- 3:52Speaker 1: you had to stick it out, and you know, props
- 3:54Speaker 1: to the It rumored that it was like two hundred
- 3:57Speaker 1: and fifty maybe the three hundred and seventy five thousand
- 3:59Speaker 1: people before the rain show rowed up. They all had
- 4:01Speaker 1: to take shelter in the various government buildings and then
- 4:03Speaker 1: lo and behold, they stuck it out. At least a
- 4:05Speaker 1: lot of them did. One hundred and fifty thousand people
- 4:07Speaker 1: making it back and enjoying the celebration, and all the
- 4:10Speaker 1: way up to the end of the fireworks, the weather
- 4:12Speaker 1: held off, and I think it was like the moment
- 4:14Speaker 1: the last shell blew up, at least as I've heard it,
- 4:16Speaker 1: you know, boiled down reporting, that's when the rain came back.
- 4:20Speaker 1: So someone looking out. But I thought it was a
- 4:22Speaker 1: bold move that, you know what, we're not gonna We're
- 4:25Speaker 1: not going to little little rain spoil our celebration, and
- 4:29Speaker 1: considering all the preparation that went into it, fantastic. But
- 4:32Speaker 1: what had me worried in the back of my mind,
- 4:34Speaker 1: And I think it not the only one terrorism, all
- 4:39Speaker 1: of these huge events, with all these people, russ. I
- 4:43Speaker 1: don't know if you're looking at the local news, I
- 4:44Speaker 1: didn't even see any juvenile takeover problems. You remember Blue
- 4:48Speaker 1: Ash last year and they had a change. Yeah, No,
- 4:50Speaker 1: it didn't happen. Nobody blew anybody up except for the
- 4:55Speaker 1: idiots using fireworks. I had a story locally this guy
- 4:58Speaker 1: blew his own SUV up firework right into his own
- 5:01Speaker 1: car and it caught on fire. Hey, nice job, buddy.
- 5:04Speaker 1: He didn't make it to the stack of stupid. But anyhow,
- 5:08Speaker 1: of course Trump's celebrating America, talking about American greatness and
- 5:11Speaker 1: going on all the reasons why we should be celebrating
- 5:13Speaker 1: American greatness, and a lot of the points rolled into
- 5:16Speaker 1: Norton Rainey's op ed piece, America's next two hundred and
- 5:19Speaker 1: fifty years begin in the classroom. And of course when
- 5:23Speaker 1: I read this, it made me think of the Cincinnati
- 5:25Speaker 1: Classical Academy. But also, you know, he didn't specifically reference
- 5:30Speaker 1: it so much. The problem we faced with education, and
- 5:33Speaker 1: then the problem we faced with artificial intelligence, and the
- 5:36Speaker 1: idea that every the four corners of the globe are
- 5:38Speaker 1: now right in your child's laptop. There's the smart device,
- 5:42Speaker 1: the whole world can interact with us, which didn't happen
- 5:44Speaker 1: not that long ago. So you are, your children are
- 5:47Speaker 1: facing the entire world endeavoring to influence them politically and otherwise,
- 5:51Speaker 1: in the face of a weakened education system that doesn't
- 5:54Speaker 1: even give them the foundational reasons for why America is
- 5:57Speaker 1: so great. And every speech you heard over the weekend
- 6:00Speaker 1: and was talking about American exceptionalism, the grave for two
- 6:02Speaker 1: and a half centuries, our American Republican stood is the
- 6:04Speaker 1: crowning achievement of human history. Home of freedom, the land
- 6:07Speaker 1: of liberty, the most extraordinary, most exceptional, most incredible nation
- 6:12Speaker 1: ever to exist in the face of the earth, And
- 6:13Speaker 1: for a multitude of reasons, and Norton points out, as
- 6:18Speaker 1: American marks its two hundred fiftyth aniverse, we have an
- 6:20Speaker 1: opportunity to reflect on one of the history's greatest experiments.
- 6:23Speaker 1: The founders established a nation unlike any of the world
- 6:27Speaker 1: has ever seen, not built on inherited privilege, but on
- 6:30Speaker 1: the belief that every person possesses God given, inhalienable rights.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Believe that freedom, belief that free people would accomplish more
- 6:39Speaker 1: than concentrated political power ever could. That vision transformed the world.
- 6:44Speaker 1: The United States has lifted more people into prosperity than
- 6:47Speaker 1: any of the nation. No country has produced more innovation.
- 6:51Speaker 1: America has consistently led the world in charitable giving, volunteerism, entrepreneurialship,
- 6:56Speaker 1: scientific advancement. Millions have come here because the American dream
- 7:01Speaker 1: is unique, the freedom to build a better life through opportunity.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Yet today something has shifted in our national outlook. Growing
- 7:11Speaker 1: number of young Americans skeptical of capital is more confident
- 7:15Speaker 1: in government solutions. That should carry a concern for every American,
- 7:19Speaker 1: not because government has no role, but because a free
- 7:22Speaker 1: society depends on citizens who understand why liberty, limited government,
- 7:27Speaker 1: personal responsibility, and free enterprise that produced more opportunity than
- 7:32Speaker 1: any alternative. So how do we get here? Much of
- 7:37Speaker 1: the answer lies in the classroom. Many students leave school
- 7:41Speaker 1: without mastering the skills needed to succeed in college, the workforce,
- 7:45Speaker 1: and life. Yeah, and parenthetically, there's a new study out
- 7:48Speaker 1: is a global study on all the industrialized nations. Apparently
- 7:52Speaker 1: a lot and a huge percentage of college students can't
- 7:55Speaker 1: even test at the level of ten year olds. That
- 8:00Speaker 1: and that doesn't even account civics, which aren't even present
- 8:03Speaker 1: in America's classrooms anymore anyway. At the same time, schools
- 8:08Speaker 1: increasingly emphasize America's shortcomings while giving comparatively little attention to
- 8:14Speaker 1: the extraordinary ideals that transformed the world. Constitutional government, individual liberty,
- 8:20Speaker 1: free markets, religious freedom, and equal opportunity under the law.
- 8:24Speaker 1: America has never been perfect, the remains one of humanity's
- 8:28Speaker 1: greatest success the success stories because of its founding principles
- 8:32Speaker 1: which have at least unprecedented freedom, innovation, opportunity, and prosperity,
- 8:37Speaker 1: allowing each generation to build on what came before. Young Americans,
- 8:43Speaker 1: of course, face legitimate challenges, housing, less supportable, inflation, straining budgets,
- 8:47Speaker 1: college graduates, caring significant debt. Starting a family feels increasingly unattainable.
- 8:52Speaker 1: And that's understandable. The government solutions may sound appealing, America's
- 8:58Speaker 1: strength has never come from creating citizens who depend on government.
- 9:04Speaker 1: It's come from educating citizens capable of governing themselves. That
- 9:08Speaker 1: kind of freedom cannot be legislated. It must be learned,
- 9:13Speaker 1: and it begins with an education that equips young people
- 9:15Speaker 1: to think critically, work diligently, embrace responsibility. There's a concept,
- 9:22Speaker 1: and shape their own future. If we want to preserve
- 9:25Speaker 1: America's future, our greatest investment should not be in elections
- 9:29Speaker 1: every few years. It should be in educating the next
- 9:31Speaker 1: generation academically, morally, and civically and Norton rating. I op
- 9:40Speaker 1: ED authors said recently had two conversations with students that
- 9:42Speaker 1: illustrated this difference. One spoke exclusively about America's shortfalls. The
- 9:47Speaker 1: conversation was marked by the belief that solutions to life's
- 9:50Speaker 1: challenges would come primarily from government, little discussion of personal responsibility, opportunity,
- 9:56Speaker 1: or the hope that can be built through hard work
- 9:59Speaker 1: and service to others. Flip it the other, educated in
- 10:03Speaker 1: a classical Christian school spoke of beauty, goodness, and truth,
- 10:10Speaker 1: or conversation centered on purpose, character, faith in using one's
- 10:15Speaker 1: gifts to serve others, and strength and communities. It was
- 10:18Speaker 1: grounded not in resentment, but in responsibility, not in despair,
- 10:22Speaker 1: but in hope. That just shocked me to read that, because, Yeah,
- 10:26Speaker 1: apparently there are people out there that still are like that,
- 10:29Speaker 1: young people that still believe in this they've been taught
- 10:32Speaker 1: to have the hope. America's education challenge is no longer
- 10:38Speaker 1: only about declining reading and mass scores, although that should
- 10:41Speaker 1: be a concern to every parent. It's also about whether
- 10:43Speaker 1: we are cultivating young men and women who believe they
- 10:46Speaker 1: have both the ability and the responsibility to shape their
- 10:50Speaker 1: own futures. Too many young Americans are graduating without the
- 10:55Speaker 1: academic preparation to succeed, without a meaningful understanding of our
- 10:59Speaker 1: nation's founding prince Wills, and without confidence that the American
- 11:02Speaker 1: dream is still within reach. In the very moment they
- 11:06Speaker 1: should be entering adulthood with optimism. Many instead feel disillusioned, anxious,
- 11:10Speaker 1: and convince their futures depend more on government than their
- 11:14Speaker 1: own initiative, perseverance, and ingenuity. Parents recognize this. Across the country,
- 11:21Speaker 1: Families are seeking schools that not only deliver academic excellence,
- 11:24Speaker 1: but also cultivate character, civic understanding, personal responsibility, and hope.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Oh Cincinnati Classical Academy came in mind on that one.
- 11:34Speaker 1: Oh I Wonder who wrote that in the margins of
- 11:36Speaker 1: the op ed piece mean they want environments that prepare
- 11:40Speaker 1: children not merely to earn a living, but to live
- 11:42Speaker 1: with purpose and become thoughtful citizens capable of sustaining a
- 11:46Speaker 1: free society. That is why the Education Freedom Tax Credit,
- 11:51Speaker 1: which Brian James is going to be talking about, that
- 11:53Speaker 1: may become one of the most important education and reforms
- 11:55Speaker 1: of our generation. Beginning next year, Americans can receive a
- 11:59Speaker 1: dollar for dollar or federal tax credit for contributions to
- 12:02Speaker 1: qualified scholarship organizations that help students attend schools that mest
- 12:08Speaker 1: meet their needs. Rather than expanding another federal program. This
- 12:13Speaker 1: initiative empowers private generosity, strengthens civil society and gives parents
- 12:19Speaker 1: greater freedom to choose the education they believe is best
- 12:23Speaker 1: for their children. And yeah, no strings attached. That's a
- 12:27Speaker 1: uniquely American solution, choosing voluntary, charitable giving to expand educational
- 12:31Speaker 1: opportunities rather than placing more decisions in the hand of government.
- 12:36Speaker 1: As we celebrate America's twurent and fiftieth Anniversity, our responsibility
- 12:39Speaker 1: extends beyond the courage of the founders. We must ensure
- 12:44Speaker 1: that the next generation understands the principles that made their
- 12:47Speaker 1: achievement possible. Freedom survives only when each generation chooses to
- 12:53Speaker 1: preserve it, and if we truly believe in liberty, opportunity,
- 12:56Speaker 1: in the American dream, there may be no more important
- 12:58Speaker 1: investment we can make than help helping every child access
- 13:01Speaker 1: the education that prepares them to preserve and improve the
- 13:05Speaker 1: greatest experiment in self government the world has ever known.
- 13:09Speaker 1: The next two ordred and fifty years of America we
- 13:11Speaker 1: shaped not merely by the laws we pass, but by
- 13:14Speaker 1: the children we educate. Amen Norton, and remember that while
- 13:20Speaker 1: your children are not being taught Civics in personal responsibility
- 13:23Speaker 1: and logic and critical theas critical thinking and reason in schools.
- 13:26Speaker 1: They are inundated with propaganda from the four corners of
- 13:29Speaker 1: the world, given that they immerse themselves in social media
- 13:32Speaker 1: and the echo chamber that exists thereon, something's got to
- 13:36Speaker 1: counter that, folks. That's you and that's me, and that's
- 13:39Speaker 1: hopefully a better education system, at least the opportunity for
- 13:42Speaker 1: us to make a choice to send them there. Five
- 13:44Speaker 1: nineteen right now, fifty five KR, CD talk station, be
- 13:47Speaker 1: right back, fifty five KR the talk station or CD
- 13:50Speaker 1: talk station, Happy Monday, trying to make it so anyway.
- 13:55Speaker 1: Five three seven fifty eight hundred and eighty two to
- 13:57Speaker 1: three talk over pound five fifty on your AT and
- 13:59Speaker 1: T fifty five K seed dot iHeart dot com where
- 14:03Speaker 1: you find the podcast page. God, I remember to start
- 14:06Speaker 1: saying that from now on. Bernie Morino on saving social security,
- 14:10Speaker 1: sort of kind of knowledge. It isn't the end allb
- 14:13Speaker 1: all solutions. Some people were kind of worried about his
- 14:15Speaker 1: teaming up with all people Elizabeth Warren to talk about
- 14:18Speaker 1: getting rid of the cap on socias security withholdings. That's
- 14:20Speaker 1: least an opening volley. Someone's got to save socials security.
- 14:27Speaker 1: This is one of the failures of government collective failure.
- 14:29Speaker 1: But Republicans saying Democrats across the board for years and years,
- 14:32Speaker 1: the numbers never added up. They always spelled gloom and
- 14:34Speaker 1: doom down the road, and yet no one wanted to
- 14:36Speaker 1: touch the third rail of politics. They got their phony,
- 14:39Speaker 1: blowney jobs on the line. Anyhow, Bernie listening to here
- 14:43Speaker 1: what Bernie had to say on that, Susan Luke and
- 14:45Speaker 1: she's great, We need a better choice for juvenile court.
- 14:47Speaker 1: She was on the program last week to talk about that,
- 14:49Speaker 1: plus Congressman Warren Davidson, And speaking of Congressman Warren Davidson,
- 14:55Speaker 1: what the hell is going on with a Saved Act?
- 14:57Speaker 1: Looks like at least one more effort. House Speaker Mike
- 15:00Speaker 1: Johnson said the other day he's going to try for
- 15:02Speaker 1: a fourth Some are suggesting perhaps the final time to
- 15:06Speaker 1: pass the Save Act, so that the House is going
- 15:08Speaker 1: to take up the bill after the lawmakers return from
- 15:10Speaker 1: their recess. He thinks Trump will accept a version that,
- 15:14Speaker 1: while Trump has pushed for, including provisions that limited mail
- 15:18Speaker 1: in ballots and restricting transgender athletes and transgender medical care
- 15:23Speaker 1: for minors, seems like an odd mixed bag and a
- 15:25Speaker 1: piece of legislation relating to voter integrity. But if you
- 15:31Speaker 1: remove those position provisions and have a clean bill on
- 15:35Speaker 1: the Save Act, Johnson seemed to think it may have
- 15:37Speaker 1: some hope. He said, if we get proof of citizenship
- 15:39Speaker 1: and photo id to vote, that eliminates so much of
- 15:41Speaker 1: the problem, all the fraud and everything that had everybody
- 15:45Speaker 1: concerned about in our elections, particularly frankly in these blue states.
- 15:50Speaker 1: Now the problem is with the stalling of the Save
- 15:52Speaker 1: Act four weeks. This has been installed due to the
- 15:54Speaker 1: opposition from certain Republicans in the Senate, which the House,
- 15:59Speaker 1: of course has passed let three versions of the bill.
- 16:02Speaker 1: Davidson pointed out, Listen, we've already passed it a bunch
- 16:04Speaker 1: of times. It's not here in the House, is the Senate.
- 16:07Speaker 1: So they hope they have a plan to win enough
- 16:09Speaker 1: supporting the Senate and finally get it through with a
- 16:11Speaker 1: simple majority under budget reconciliation. Hmm. Johnson said, what we're
- 16:17Speaker 1: planning to do is send overbill that will be irresistible
- 16:20Speaker 1: for any Republican, really incredible peace of legislation and will
- 16:23Speaker 1: get the job done, meaning that we will continue to
- 16:25Speaker 1: increase affordability, reduce fraud, waste abuse in government, and we'll
- 16:29Speaker 1: secure elections. Every Republican would vote for that if packaged correctly,
- 16:33Speaker 1: and that's what we're planning to do right now now.
- 16:36Speaker 1: Sort of the part of the problem Senator Collins Amaine
- 16:39Speaker 1: and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, because he claims they're against
- 16:43Speaker 1: it because they don't know what is in it. They
- 16:46Speaker 1: just are basing their opposition of what they think might
- 16:48Speaker 1: be in it, which I think is maybe a bit
- 16:50Speaker 1: of a preposterous conclusion, since I would like to imagine
- 16:53Speaker 1: that anybody who's interested in finding out what any given
- 16:56Speaker 1: revision or proposal has in it can just simply ask
- 17:00Speaker 1: why would they hide it anyway. Murkowski, for her part,
- 17:04Speaker 1: has been opposed in the legislation because she's concerned it
- 17:07Speaker 1: would require implementing new rules in the middle of an
- 17:09Speaker 1: election cycle with no federal resources to do it. States
- 17:13Speaker 1: will be forced to bear the entire cost of implementing
- 17:15Speaker 1: right away. I don't know how much money can it
- 17:17Speaker 1: possibly cost. I don't know. I've never seen numbers on this,
- 17:21Speaker 1: but states are forced to bear the brun of federal
- 17:23Speaker 1: legislation all the time, and you know, if we're going
- 17:26Speaker 1: to use this to enforce the law, that is already
- 17:29Speaker 1: on the books. Only citizens can vote in federal elections.
- 17:32Speaker 1: Who would be against a photo wi ide e to
- 17:34Speaker 1: ensure that a person's a citizen of the United States
- 17:36Speaker 1: of America. Very few in terms of the polling on this.
- 17:41Speaker 1: This is again one of those eighty twenty issues. So
- 17:44Speaker 1: fingers crossed. I'm in favor of the Save Act, and
- 17:48Speaker 1: I think we can all manage to cover whatever costs
- 17:50Speaker 1: associated with requiring wealth proof of citizenship. Five twenty six
- 17:56Speaker 1: local stories coming up. Alternatively phone calls, which you know
- 17:59Speaker 1: I prefer. Right back after these brief words, This is.
- 18:02Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station.
- 18:05Speaker 1: I'm twenty nine Happy Monday, continue to celebrate the two
- 18:12Speaker 1: hundred and fiftieth birthdays America and celebrated it's greatness and
- 18:15Speaker 1: quick dwelling on the negatives. We've gotten better over the years,
- 18:18Speaker 1: have we not? If I went three seven, eight hundred
- 18:22Speaker 1: and eight two three talk found five fifty on eighteen
- 18:23Speaker 1: T phones. Look all is right with the world? Tom,
- 18:26Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning show. Hope you had a wonderful weekend,
- 18:28Speaker 1: my friend.
- 18:29Speaker 4: I did.
- 18:30Speaker 5: I did. I got to go home for the weekend
- 18:32Speaker 5: and then enjoy some time with with the granddaughter that
- 18:37Speaker 5: lives at the house. And one of the cool things
- 18:39Speaker 5: about that is I do get to spend some time
- 18:42Speaker 5: with my youngest son. He's twenty eight, and you get
- 18:46Speaker 5: to see him on a regular basis. And we actually
- 18:49Speaker 5: had a chance over the weekend to talk just me
- 18:51Speaker 5: and him. We're outside and I had a little chat
- 18:54Speaker 5: about being a dad. It's really cool watching him raise
- 18:57Speaker 5: a kid.
- 18:58Speaker 1: Yeah, that's awesome.
- 19:00Speaker 5: It's brand she'll be she'll be two here in a
- 19:03Speaker 5: week or so. And uh so it's definitely a fun
- 19:06Speaker 5: time being a granddad. Is is really cool?
- 19:11Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this because because I am
- 19:13Speaker 1: here because of a wonderful opportunity to lend into my
- 19:16Speaker 1: lab I'm just kind of curious to know before I
- 19:18Speaker 1: say it, Uh, do you get do you often get
- 19:20Speaker 1: to spend time talking with your son? I know, the
- 19:23Speaker 1: way the world goes, and you know a lot of
- 19:24Speaker 1: people have all kinds of things going on in the world,
- 19:26Speaker 1: and rarely do you get a chance to really sort
- 19:28Speaker 1: of engage in a back and forth over a long
- 19:29Speaker 1: period of time. And that was the case with my
- 19:31Speaker 1: dad and me. And when I came back from Chicago.
- 19:35Speaker 1: Uh and was practicing law at Anthem. This is when
- 19:38Speaker 1: when Craig cop his co host, would go out of town,
- 19:41Speaker 1: he'd have me on the program to cover for Craig.
- 19:44Speaker 1: And it was just occasionally a few times a year,
- 19:47Speaker 1: and I always it was such a great time doing it.
- 19:50Speaker 1: I didn't get paid. I just got to talk to
- 19:52Speaker 1: my dad. And after spending eight years in Chicago and
- 19:55Speaker 1: Dad and I never really sat down and did a
- 19:57Speaker 1: whole lot of father son chatting, but for hours, not
- 20:01Speaker 1: only on the air, but off the air, and we
- 20:03Speaker 1: would talk and we had this wonderful communication back and forth,
- 20:06Speaker 1: caught up, talked. It was just it was a great
- 20:09Speaker 1: experience just being able to do that. And then lo
- 20:13Speaker 1: and behold when Dad said I'm retiring. That's how they
- 20:15Speaker 1: ended up calling me and asked me if I wanted
- 20:17Speaker 1: to cover because at least I had some radio time
- 20:19Speaker 1: by that point, they thought I'd at least be able
- 20:20Speaker 1: to get him through some of her whatever hill they
- 20:23Speaker 1: had to cross at that moment. Nobody expected me to
- 20:25Speaker 1: be around for twenty years, which will be in December,
- 20:27Speaker 1: but those conversations led to this job. But those conversations
- 20:31Speaker 1: to me were just the most enjoyable thing, and I
- 20:35Speaker 1: am so happy to have had the opportunity to talk
- 20:37Speaker 1: with him for those multiple hours in a row.
- 20:41Speaker 5: Well, I have the experience kind of in the middle
- 20:44Speaker 5: of it. My dad was big on having talks and
- 20:50Speaker 5: conversations and telling the stories, and he's quite legendary in
- 20:55Speaker 5: the families. Passed away in twenty as you remember, probably,
- 21:00Speaker 5: but you know, I had some great talks with my
- 21:04Speaker 5: dad and my youngest he also had a lot of
- 21:07Speaker 5: great talks with my dad. So that whole tradition of
- 21:11Speaker 5: father's son and grandson and that whole thing is it's
- 21:15Speaker 5: kind of as he's the only one of my sons
- 21:18Speaker 5: that really engage with my dad, So it kind of
- 21:23Speaker 5: is built in to our relationship having that father son
- 21:26Speaker 5: type of Hey, let's sit down, let's happen, even if
- 21:29Speaker 5: it's about nothing important. Let's just sit here and and
- 21:32Speaker 5: and shoot the you know what, and talk about stuff
- 21:35Speaker 5: and make jokes or whatever. So we do get to
- 21:38Speaker 5: do that regularly. But I got I had a serious
- 21:40Speaker 5: talk with him about raising a child and his responsibility
- 21:45Speaker 5: is to make that child acceptable in society. When she
- 21:48Speaker 5: gets old enough and it's it's time for her to
- 21:51Speaker 5: do her thing. She has to be able to behave
- 21:55Speaker 5: properly and be acceptable to the rest of the world.
- 21:58Speaker 4: And doesn't mean could.
- 21:59Speaker 5: Forward to every everything that they want you to. But
- 22:01Speaker 5: you got to be able to behave a certain way
- 22:04Speaker 5: so people like you and you get places when people
- 22:07Speaker 5: like you. You know, you have to understand that. And again,
- 22:09Speaker 5: you don't need to do everything everybody tells you to do,
- 22:12Speaker 5: but you got to live a certain way. You gotta
- 22:15Speaker 5: you gotta take care of you, be able to take
- 22:16Speaker 5: care of yourself and not depend on everybody else take
- 22:19Speaker 5: care of you, right, You got to be able to
- 22:20Speaker 5: behave properly and not be a nuisance to the rest
- 22:22Speaker 5: of the people around you. It's just it's simple things
- 22:25Speaker 5: like that that if they get missed, it's a big
- 22:27Speaker 5: deal for that kid. You know, when they when they
- 22:29Speaker 5: turn into an adult and they haven't learned how to
- 22:31Speaker 5: behave properly, that's on you as parent. That's that you
- 22:34Speaker 5: can't You can't tell the school system. You have to
- 22:37Speaker 5: do a better.
- 22:37Speaker 1: Job exactly your job.
- 22:41Speaker 5: Your job is to do that, and part of your
- 22:42Speaker 5: job is to pick the right school to go into. Absolutely,
- 22:46Speaker 5: but if you're not doing it at home, you cannot
- 22:48Speaker 5: expect the teachers and the principles and the deans and
- 22:51Speaker 5: whoever the heck is in that school. You can't expect
- 22:53Speaker 5: them to do your job, your job as parents and
- 22:56Speaker 5: most important thing to teach? What and important thing to
- 23:00Speaker 5: teach your children? Don't vote Democratic?
- 23:02Speaker 1: Amen, brothers, you're right. And your failure at home to
- 23:05Speaker 1: teach children the morals and ethics, reason and that kind
- 23:08Speaker 1: of thing, that just makes it more problematic for teachers.
- 23:12Speaker 1: I mean. And then we criticize collectively teachers because the
- 23:15Speaker 1: leftists woke you know, agenda. But even if they're trying
- 23:20Speaker 1: to teach children in the classroom and agenda you may
- 23:22Speaker 1: disagree with, they run into a lot of hurdles simply
- 23:25Speaker 1: because the unruly behavior of children in the classroom. It
- 23:29Speaker 1: takes time away from the collective education of the entire room.
- 23:34Speaker 1: And that's a disservice to humanity. No, just you bring
- 23:40Speaker 1: a child into this world. I don't understand people who
- 23:43Speaker 1: don't really give a crap about how that child turns out.
- 23:47Speaker 1: Going back to the whole reason for curfews, there are
- 23:50Speaker 1: so many children out there that don't have an environment
- 23:52Speaker 1: at home where guardians' parents, whoever the authority figures are
- 23:56Speaker 1: should be in that home, insist on them being home
- 24:00Speaker 1: before midnight. The standing rule of my family growing up.
- 24:03Speaker 1: My parents had no problem enforcing that. It's not that difficult. Wow,

- 25:52Speaker 1: If Joe is here, he hit the sound by Dougs
- 25:53Speaker 1: are bad. And here's a reason why. Ryan Dexter of
- 26:00Speaker 1: Sutherlan Ryan Dexter's Sutherlin rather is no longer with us
- 26:05Speaker 1: after stabbing himself more than twenty twenty times and also
- 26:11Speaker 1: trying to chop off his arm during a meth fueled
- 26:14Speaker 1: frenzy in of all places, shocking no on downtown Los Angeles.
- 26:19Speaker 1: Medical report into the thirty one year old's death ruled
- 26:21Speaker 1: that he died from sharp force self inflicted injuries to
- 26:24Speaker 1: his neck, right forearm, wrist, chest, and genitalia corner. The
- 26:31Speaker 1: reporting he used a non serrated pen knife around two
- 26:34Speaker 1: inches long and three quarters of an inch wide to
- 26:37Speaker 1: well fatally injure himself. Wound inflicted to his genitalia nearly
- 26:43Speaker 1: a foot in circumference, leaving his testes exposed and leading
- 26:48Speaker 1: to his well his genitalia being degloved from his body.
- 26:53Speaker 1: Go ahead and use your imagination on that. I know
- 26:56Speaker 1: man died from self inflicted wounds to an artery and
- 27:00Speaker 1: vein in his right arm, alongside injuries to his juggler
- 27:02Speaker 1: vein and trachia in his neck. Toxicology report found subtle
- 27:07Speaker 1: and had an extreme amount of methamfetamine in his system
- 27:09Speaker 1: at the time of his death, and also MDMA. Now
- 27:15Speaker 1: the substances the meth and MDMDA were not noted in
- 27:19Speaker 1: the report is responsible for his death. However, he did
- 27:21Speaker 1: have a deadly blood concentration of meth and anfetimines in
- 27:25Speaker 1: his system.
- 27:28Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 27:28Speaker 1: Well, during the ordeal leading to his death. In the
- 27:31Speaker 1: early hours of March seventh. Going back a little bit,
- 27:33Speaker 1: a security guard spotted the horror, called police officers got
- 27:36Speaker 1: to the scene and found a blood soaked close hurled
- 27:38Speaker 1: across the pavement. Pools of blood Suden later identified by
- 27:41Speaker 1: his fingerprints. His aunt said the man never had any
- 27:45Speaker 1: previously threatened threatened attempt to take his own life, so
- 27:48Speaker 1: this was a new one. I guess the drugs had
- 27:50Speaker 1: something to do with it. Thirty one, however, did have
- 27:52Speaker 1: a history of illicted drug usage, previously spent stints in rehab.
- 27:56Speaker 1: Studies have shown suicide rates among meth users are significant,
- 28:00Speaker 1: only higher than the general population. They conclude not much
- 28:04Speaker 1: else known about this guy, his back, or his background,
- 28:07Speaker 1: aside from the fact that he suffered from eighty HD.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Can't self medicate yourself out of ADHD with methan fetamine.
- 28:15Speaker 1: I would think that will be the wrong prescription for
- 28:19Speaker 1: attention deficit disorder. What do you think, Russ, Do you
- 28:23Speaker 1: think you'd get better attention or do you have less
- 28:26Speaker 1: attention disorder when you're on methan fatamine. I know you
- 28:28Speaker 1: don't use meth amphetamine, Russ, just just asking you know, Yeah,
- 28:33Speaker 1: you're right, you're with me on that one. Okay, good? Yeah,
- 28:35Speaker 1: Russ covering for Jes Strekkers on vacation. This is truly bizarre, okay.
- 28:40Speaker 1: Joshua Gossied, who's thirty two, was just recently sentenced to
- 28:44Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty years in prison. According to the
- 28:48Speaker 1: Shelby County District Attorney's office. He was convicted by a
- 28:51Speaker 1: jury two counts of first degree murder in the deaths
- 28:54Speaker 1: of Shoonish Baggot and Richard Skileski. Also a related firearm
- 29:02Speaker 1: charge go back to October of twenty two. He used
- 29:05Speaker 1: a lift app to travel to the deceased Baggot's home
- 29:08Speaker 1: in Memphis, Tennessee, Tennessee, where she lived on Woodelle Avenue.
- 29:13Speaker 1: Once at the resident Baggott, whose age is not clear.
- 29:16Speaker 1: I don't know why that matters anyway, Gossip shot and
- 29:18Speaker 1: killed her, accord to the DA's office statement. Thori's didn't
- 29:21Speaker 1: share their state the relationship between the two individuals, though
- 29:24Speaker 1: a go fundme set up by her family about ten
- 29:26Speaker 1: days later said that an unknown suspect killed her, saying
- 29:30Speaker 1: Fundraiser said Baggot was found dead on the kitchen floor
- 29:33Speaker 1: by her then twelve year old daughter, Well, that's terrible.
- 29:36Speaker 1: After killing Baggot, Gossip used the app again to request
- 29:41Speaker 1: a ride from the scene of the murder. Yet eighty
- 29:46Speaker 1: year old lift driver the late Scoleski, accepted the request
- 29:50Speaker 1: and headed over to Baggott's home. According to the DA's office,
- 29:54Speaker 1: after Scoleski picked him up, Gossip shot him in the head,
- 29:57Speaker 1: stole his vehicle, and drove away. Proceators said due to
- 30:01Speaker 1: surveillance footage, Forensican analysts and the killer's digital footprint, they
- 30:04Speaker 1: were able to figure it out his identity and arrest him.
- 30:10Speaker 6: Let's go.
- 30:11Speaker 1: Let there you go. Thank you, Russ. Unbelievable. Welcome to
- 30:19Speaker 1: the world we live in. It's gonna be tough to

- 30:55Speaker 1: standing in one of the Cincinnati streets naked and attempted

- 31:20Speaker 1: interfering slash impeding solicitation. Thorty said he walked into the
- 31:25Speaker 1: street with quote this is from the arrested report. I
- 31:28Speaker 1: guess his penis and buttocks exposed close quote in a
- 31:35Speaker 1: way that impeded the movement of drivers in the area.
- 31:38Speaker 1: So was it who instead? I'm sorry he was just
- 31:44Speaker 1: led to believe. Was it him being in the street,
- 31:46Speaker 1: or was it the state of him being in the
- 31:48Speaker 1: street that impeded the movement of drivers in the area.
- 31:51Speaker 1: I'm sure Lookie Lows had something to do with the
- 31:53Speaker 1: impediment anyway, Officers showed up apprehended him. While in police custody,

- 35:18Speaker 1: facing a misdemeanor hit and run charge. Authority City hit
- 35:21Speaker 1: a parked vehicle in Napa County, California, and then drove
- 35:24Speaker 1: away before his own car became disabled. Corn on an
- 35:28Speaker 1: Apple County Sheriff's Office crash happ in Friday afternoon in Yontville,
- 35:32Speaker 1: just over an hour north of San Francisco, written as
- 35:34Speaker 1: his saw brown convertible hit an unoccupied vehicle before then
- 35:38Speaker 1: continuing north. Deputies later found the damage convertible partially blocking
- 35:42Speaker 1: a nearby road wide roadway, and then identified the driver
- 35:46Speaker 1: as eighty six year old Paul Pelosi. He allegedly told
- 35:50Speaker 1: deputies he knew he had hit something, but he didn't
- 35:53Speaker 1: know what it was. He continued, thank you shit it.

- 36:18Speaker 1: the collision. He was not arrested at the scene. Sheriff's
- 36:21Speaker 1: office said that it is common for this type of
- 36:23Speaker 1: misdemeanor offense. Instead, deputies will refer the case than Apacuanti
- 36:27Speaker 1: District Attorney's office to review and for possible prosecution. Hmmmm,
- 36:33Speaker 1: exactly right. Now, go ahead and speculate if it was
- 36:37Speaker 1: you or if I had done it, hit a vehicle
- 36:42Speaker 1: and gone off. Do you think we be prosecuted? Will
- 36:46Speaker 1: we get special treatment? Do you think? Paul Pelosi, at
- 36:48Speaker 1: any time during the interaction with police officers, said something
- 36:51Speaker 1: to the effect of do you know who I am?

- 38:21Speaker 1: hundred day two three talk if you want to steer
- 38:23Speaker 1: the direction of the subject matter, love to hear from you,
- 38:26Speaker 1: and you know a couple of merging points here. Interesting
- 38:31Speaker 1: comments from Mark Penn and Andrewstein, two Democrats worried as
- 38:36Speaker 1: so many people in the Democratic Party are about the
- 38:38Speaker 1: socialist threat that's emerging. But real quickly here, I thought
- 38:42Speaker 1: there were two things that were it sort of true.
- 38:46Speaker 1: And I've observed it myself over the time that my
- 38:52Speaker 1: personal feeling about the American flag, I personally view it
- 38:56Speaker 1: as a symbol of freedom and being try to be
- 39:01Speaker 1: objective about it. When I look at the American flag,
- 39:03Speaker 1: and I think it stands for freedom. That freedom is
- 39:06Speaker 1: enjoyed by everyone of all political stripes. And you can
- 39:09Speaker 1: enjoy whatever political stripe you have thanks to the freedom
- 39:13Speaker 1: that America allows us to enjoy. Go ahead, live someplace
- 39:17Speaker 1: else and see see if you have the right of
- 39:18Speaker 1: free expression, free speech, see about free religion, Yeah, right,
- 39:25Speaker 1: among other the freedoms that our Constitution guarantees us. But
- 39:28Speaker 1: I think of that, and I always think the American
- 39:31Speaker 1: flag should be a rallying point for all things American,
- 39:35Speaker 1: the things that we're all trying to keep focus on.
- 39:37Speaker 1: When you listen to Donald Trump's words over the weekend,
- 39:39Speaker 1: American greatness, and that needs to be celebrated. What we've
- 39:42Speaker 1: been able to accomplish in spite of our wards. Yeah,
- 39:44Speaker 1: everybody wants to deviate toward the warts, and that's kind
- 39:46Speaker 1: of where I think the Democrat Party has gone off
- 39:48Speaker 1: the rails. They, at least the DSA part of them,
- 39:54Speaker 1: consistently expresses disdain for America. Ever Ever, speaking of the goodness,
- 40:03Speaker 1: the programs they want to develop are really built on
- 40:06Speaker 1: the accomplishment means we've been able to have here in America.
- 40:09Speaker 1: The freedom and liberties we enjoyed have allowed major financial success.
- 40:14Speaker 1: You know, that's the beauty of capitalism, you know, unequal
- 40:20Speaker 1: distribution of the blessings of America. Yes, it's unequal, but
- 40:25Speaker 1: when has there ever been pure equality, at least in
- 40:27Speaker 1: terms of economics in the world. Socialism is the equal
- 40:30Speaker 1: distribution of misery. So without all that, you know, unequal
- 40:34Speaker 1: distribution of the blessings of America that many people have
- 40:37Speaker 1: parleyed into massive dollars ergo tax money going into sports,
- 40:41Speaker 1: social welfare programs, you can't have any of that crap
- 40:43Speaker 1: without the greatness of America, Zorhan. But there was this
- 40:50Speaker 1: study by Political Political Politico. Poll and Political is a
- 40:53Speaker 1: left leaning website. Go ahead and check it out. I
- 40:55Speaker 1: look at it every day for the purpose of the
- 40:57Speaker 1: morning show, just to see what's being said. But it's
- 40:59Speaker 1: on national polling, But it showed that when you ask
- 41:03Speaker 1: people about expressions of patriotism as opposed to whether they're
- 41:07Speaker 1: patriotic or not, and across the board, people of all
- 41:09Speaker 1: political stripes, left, all the way over the right believe
- 41:11Speaker 1: themselves to be patriotic. But when you talk about what
- 41:14Speaker 1: does it mean when you express patriotism, the flag shows
- 41:18Speaker 1: up as being well, that is a sign of conservatism.
- 41:22Speaker 1: You fly the flag and you are immediately presumed to
- 41:25Speaker 1: be a Republican, at least here in AfD and other
- 41:28Speaker 1: conservative political organizations. Elsewhere in the world, Germany, for example,
- 41:32Speaker 1: they're having a sort of a renaissance of well patriotism
- 41:37Speaker 1: in their country, and of course they struggle with the
- 41:40Speaker 1: aftermath of World War Two and the ridding themselves of
- 41:42Speaker 1: the Nazi ideology. They're trying to regain their sense of
- 41:47Speaker 1: patriotism about their country and its history, notwithstanding Nazis running
- 41:51Speaker 1: it at one point. Anyway, last week on CNN's The Arena,
- 41:57Speaker 1: one of the co hosts there said of the Democratic
- 41:59Speaker 1: Party writ large has stepped away from the rallying around
- 42:03Speaker 1: the flag. They have allowed Republicans to own patriotism, and
- 42:08Speaker 1: that if you see an American flag. Now you're going
- 42:11Speaker 1: to assume that that person is a Republican. Hmm, interesting thing,
- 42:17Speaker 1: Litla Garcia Navarro co host. I actually think the Democarti
- 42:20Speaker 1: party writ large has stepped away from the rallying around
- 42:22Speaker 1: the flag. Host Cassie hunts that are we really there?
- 42:25Speaker 1: In other words, are we all going to the default
- 42:28Speaker 1: assumption if you have an American flag in your front yard,
- 42:30Speaker 1: that you are a conservative minded person Garciana, Ravala and
- 42:35Speaker 1: Navarro one person with an opinion. I know, yes, we're
- 42:38Speaker 1: really there, and you're not going to assume Hunt cuts
- 42:41Speaker 1: in maybe we are on the coast. I don't think
- 42:44Speaker 1: we are in middle of America, Garcian Navarro, No, I
- 42:46Speaker 1: think we are there. So they're recognizing that Democrats can't
- 42:50Speaker 1: even look at the American flag without presuming it's some
- 42:52Speaker 1: sort of right winging symbol. And that's what I have
- 42:55Speaker 1: observed a lot over the years, and it's gradually getting
- 42:57Speaker 1: worse and worse. It is a concern, but the Democrats
- 43:02Speaker 1: own this. They can have a conversation about where they
- 43:07Speaker 1: want to go with America without just being demeaning and
- 43:09Speaker 1: critical of America as a country and that of course
- 43:12Speaker 1: you double down with artificial intelligence in the Chinese Communist
- 43:15Speaker 1: Party and all the other foreign actors using social media
- 43:18Speaker 1: to do the same thing. So we've got a real
- 43:23Speaker 1: propaganda thing going on. And I guess I'm just curious
- 43:28Speaker 1: about my Democrat friends that are listening on is is
- 43:30Speaker 1: that the way you feel? Do you look at the
- 43:33Speaker 1: American flag and do you have a sense of freedom
- 43:34Speaker 1: and pride and it's wonderful expression of liberty and what
- 43:37Speaker 1: we have here as a positive thing? Or do you
- 43:40Speaker 1: look at as some you know, Trump maga person waving
- 43:43Speaker 1: the American flag. I don't know how you can confuse
- 43:46Speaker 1: the two. But these Democrats Mark Pan and Andrews Stein
- 43:51Speaker 1: and by way of background, Pends Upholster and advisor of
- 43:54Speaker 1: Bill and Hillary Clinton in between ninety five and two
- 43:56Speaker 1: thousand and eight, chairman of the Harris Pole and CEO
- 44:00Speaker 1: Stagwell Stein served as New York City Council president for
- 44:03Speaker 1: a number of years, and they joined together and talking
- 44:05Speaker 1: about the socialist threat is real, and they're speaking it
- 44:07Speaker 1: from a Democrat point of view, speaking about last election
- 44:12Speaker 1: results in New York, Colorado and Pennsylvania calling a nine's
- 44:17Speaker 1: calling it a nine to one to one call for
- 44:18Speaker 1: the Democratic Party in America. The advancement of the Democratic
- 44:20Speaker 1: Socialists of America members to Congress, state legislators, and local offices,
- 44:25Speaker 1: often by beating Democratic incumbents, shows how broken the primary
- 44:30Speaker 1: system is and how alienated young educated white voters and
- 44:35Speaker 1: urban areas have become. Yes, the young educated white voters
- 44:39Speaker 1: in urban areas the driving the socialist mantra, he says.
- 44:44Speaker 1: They say. It turns out New York's elections were well
- 44:46Speaker 1: below anything that could be called representative of the community amen.
- 44:50Speaker 1: Only eighteen to twenty five percent are registered Democrats voted
- 44:54Speaker 1: in each of the closed primaries for three contested House nominations.
- 44:58Speaker 1: That means a good organizational effort can impose its will
- 45:03Speaker 1: with less than fifteen percent of the party electorate. This
- 45:06Speaker 1: is something I also worry about. We don't show up
- 45:09Speaker 1: at elections guaranteeing us these fringe elements of engaged, although alienated,
- 45:15Speaker 1: young educated white voters are going to drive the results.
- 45:18Speaker 1: We let this happen. It is our collective fault. Alexander
- 45:23Speaker 1: Casio Kortez a great example bay Site, won her first
- 45:26Speaker 1: primary in twenty eighteen with fewer than seventeen thousand voters
- 45:31Speaker 1: in a district of seventeen hundred and fifteen thousand eligible voters.
- 45:38Speaker 1: Since these are overwhelmingly Democratic districts, Republicans and independents don't
- 45:42Speaker 1: count at all, and turn out not viewpoint becomes a
- 45:45Speaker 1: critical factor. Democrats allowed this to happen. Oh, it's going
- 45:49Speaker 1: to be a Democrat. Why do we bother going to
- 45:51Speaker 1: the primary because you're going to get an AOC A
- 45:54Speaker 1: socialist as the elected representative. This quote unquote is driven
- 46:01Speaker 1: not by the working class but by the urban professional
- 46:04Speaker 1: class that is willing to support candidates who celebrate nine
- 46:07Speaker 1: to eleven cheer. The master of a thousand Israelian American
- 46:10Speaker 1: kids would defund police, abolished prisons and private property, and
- 46:14Speaker 1: open the borders. New York Representative of Adriano Espolod, chairman
- 46:18Speaker 1: of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, lost his seat. Pretty firm Democrat.
- 46:23Speaker 1: There more traditionalists, but also the Congressional Hispanic Caucus guy,
- 46:27Speaker 1: the minority candidate no longer around. The Democrats hate their own.
- 46:33Speaker 1: Even Letitia James, the Empire's left wing attorney general, troubled
- 46:38Speaker 1: by the results, saying some of the candidates is Zoran
- 46:41Speaker 1: Mondamia supported are individuals who do not understand the politics
- 46:44Speaker 1: of New York City, the cultural differences from district to district,
- 46:48Speaker 1: who have not been part of the history and the
- 46:50Speaker 1: struggle of some of these districts and are relatively new
- 46:53Speaker 1: to the body politic. That's right, A lot of them,
- 46:55Speaker 1: like thirty years old, I be the first person acknowledge
- 47:00Speaker 1: you grabbed me as a thirty year old Brian Thomas.
- 47:02Speaker 1: There is no way in hell I'd ever admit or
- 47:04Speaker 1: think that I had the ability to take on these
- 47:07Speaker 1: large roles and take on the responsibility of elected office
- 47:10Speaker 1: in a major metropolitan area. They gave it to Zorhan Mamdami,
- 47:14Speaker 1: folks idiot with no background whatsoever to run a business,
- 47:20Speaker 1: let alone a city. Anyway, this wake up call, going
- 47:28Speaker 1: back to the op wake up call, requires action at
- 47:33Speaker 1: all levels. Representative Thomas Susie, Democrat New York, Adam Gray
- 47:37Speaker 1: Democrat California and formed a coalition Promise to America that
- 47:41Speaker 1: stands for moderate principles, saying quote, we are capitalists not socialists.
- 47:45Speaker 1: We want safety not lawlessness. We are fiscally responsible not reckless.
- 47:49Speaker 1: We believe government should solve problems, not create them. We
- 47:52Speaker 1: are mainstream not extreme. We are proud, not ashamed of America.
- 47:56Speaker 1: Close quote sounds remarkably conservative, does it in the face
- 47:59Speaker 1: of the DSA out there so far? They point out
- 48:03Speaker 1: eight of the Democratic lawmakers and five candidates have signed on.
- 48:06Speaker 1: It's kind of like, you know, the Freedom Caucus or
- 48:08Speaker 1: maybe the Tea Party movement trying to take back over
- 48:11Speaker 1: their own party. Logical reasonable thing to do, and he says, hey,
- 48:14Speaker 1: in a closely divided Congress, these folks could wield considerable power,
- 48:20Speaker 1: but moderates alone can't defeat this movement. Left the center,
- 48:24Speaker 1: voices like James Carville near a tandem Jane and Ms
- 48:27Speaker 1: James Leticia James have sounded the alarm and will have
- 48:31Speaker 1: to split from the far left or find themselves sidelined.
- 48:35Speaker 1: Voter registration and turnout are non profit activities, and that
- 48:40Speaker 1: means mainstream politicians need a new get out the vote
- 48:43Speaker 1: organizations to mobilize the huge majority of voters who are
- 48:47Speaker 1: sitting at home while socialists and communists make their way
- 48:52Speaker 1: into positions of power. And I'll pivot over to Americans
- 48:55Speaker 1: for Prosperity, which is trying to get you off the
- 48:57Speaker 1: couch too, to prevent this wing of the Democrat Party
- 49:00Speaker 1: from taking over by increasing voter turnout among the perhaps
- 49:04Speaker 1: disillusioned Republicans out there, those that are looking for the
- 49:07Speaker 1: perfect candidate, throwing out the possible while I'm not going
- 49:12Speaker 1: to go in and vote because that person doesn't represent Yeah,
- 49:14Speaker 1: you know what, that perfect person represents far more of
- 49:17Speaker 1: your interest than the DSA candidate that might get elected
- 49:20Speaker 1: if you don't go out and vote. See, they're struggling
- 49:24Speaker 1: with the same thing on the Democrat Party. Lawmakers, law
- 49:29Speaker 1: enforcement agencies, journalists should investigate the DSA to see if
- 49:32Speaker 1: it's being funded by foreign governments and interests. I know
- 49:36Speaker 1: you and I know they are. Political action committees and
- 49:42Speaker 1: advocacy groups that have focused on federal races. Have to
- 49:45Speaker 1: realize now that the DSA initially focused on low turnout
- 49:49Speaker 1: local races and nonprofit boards as easy targets. Once in power,
- 49:55Speaker 1: it's members d grade law enforcement with policies that encourage
- 49:58Speaker 1: street vagrancy, drug abuse, higher taxes, fueling more voter anger,
- 50:02Speaker 1: which they then exploit at election time. It's like New
- 50:07Speaker 1: York inheriting a fourteen billion dollar deficit or something as
- 50:10Speaker 1: Auronmandami complaining about it. Dude, it was your party who
- 50:13Speaker 1: brought you to that perilous position. Moderate packs and other
- 50:18Speaker 1: groups need a battle plan for every campaign from district
- 50:21Speaker 1: attorney to congress, city council of the state legislature. You
- 50:24Speaker 1: know it's there. May make valid points and they go on.
- 50:26Speaker 1: But see Democrats are own having their their concern moment here.
- 50:30Speaker 1: They're being a little bit introspective and say, whoa, this
- 50:34Speaker 1: ain't us. And even a lot of Democrats do not
- 50:39Speaker 1: believe that direction for the Democrat Party is right for
- 50:42Speaker 1: them personally or right for the Democratic Party generally speaking.
- 50:48Speaker 1: I'd like to see the Democrat Party moderate a little bit.
- 50:50Speaker 1: That represents more of a challenge in races against Republicans.
- 50:53Speaker 1: You know, if you'd use the traditional idea of Republican,
- 50:56Speaker 1: it makes it a tougher race because you're not racing
- 50:58Speaker 1: against a bat crap in person. But you know what,
- 51:02Speaker 1: if you don't go vote backcrap, insanity may very well
- 51:06Speaker 1: win the day. Six eighteen fifty five KRC detalk station.

- 53:18Speaker 1: it is legal anyway. Loss should go fund me account.
- 53:23Speaker 1: His goal was to raise eighty five hundred bucks, but
- 53:25Speaker 1: as of yesterday he had more than twenty two thousand
- 53:27Speaker 1: from sympathetic people out there that liked his mission. My
- 53:31Speaker 1: name is Jeff, and I appreciate my privacy. I appreciate
- 53:35Speaker 1: everyone's rights of privacy, enshrining to the Fourth Amendment. With
- 53:37Speaker 1: local news outlets finding my legal issues and creating a
- 53:40Speaker 1: story that is starting to grow, there's been community support
- 53:42Speaker 1: for me, and I humbly welcome the support. So they're

- 54:07Speaker 1: public outrage. And there have now been organized campaigns from
- 54:10Speaker 1: coast to coasts to get rid of the flock cameras.
- 54:13Speaker 1: But he's not the only one. While he went around
- 54:15Speaker 1: and vandalized them, they apparently cost fifteen hundred bucks apiece.
- 54:19Speaker 1: So he's facing some you know, potentially significant dollar damages
- 54:23Speaker 1: as well as whatever they're going to might throw them
- 54:24Speaker 1: on garbage and throw them in prison over But according
- 54:27Speaker 1: to Yahoo News, a lot of people are taking this
- 54:30Speaker 1: sort of approach garbage bags, spray paints, chainsaws. They say
- 54:37Speaker 1: not an insignificant number of privacy vigilantities have taken the
- 54:40Speaker 1: fight to flock using any means to free their neighborhoods
- 54:43Speaker 1: of the ominous surveillance polls. And I know this was
- 54:48Speaker 1: happening in Britain a lot. And you know the part
- 54:51Speaker 1: I smile most about are the automatic issue a speeding
- 54:56Speaker 1: citation cameras that they have literally everywhere in Britain. So yeah,
- 55:01Speaker 1: you can buy a car that goes one hundred and
- 55:03Speaker 1: forty seven or more miles an hour, but you can't
- 55:06Speaker 1: go over fifty anywhere, and if you do, there's a
- 55:09Speaker 1: camera there. This kind of issue a citation remote control.
- 55:13Speaker 1: Those have been the subject of many people's ire as well,
- 55:16Speaker 1: and sometimes they just have a way of disappearing anyway.
- 55:20Speaker 1: This Jeffrey sovereign guy was caught, yeah, by a camera
- 55:24Speaker 1: that was posted nearby and captured his activities. And it happens,
- 55:29Speaker 1: and you know what else happens. See dental appointments. You
- 55:32Speaker 1: got to go to your dentist twice a year. And
- 55:34Speaker 1: I love going to the dentist. I enjoy the check up,
- 55:36Speaker 1: I enjoy the teeth cleaning, I enjoy walking out feeling fresh,
- 55:39Speaker 1: and I enjoy also getting a good positive thumbs up
- 55:43Speaker 1: from doctor Fred Peck. My general dentist, and he should
- 55:45Speaker 1: be your general dentist. But I'm telling you what is
- 55:47Speaker 1: beyond general dentistry. Although he does have the most state
- 55:49Speaker 1: of the art general dentistry clinic anywhere, and his staff

- 58:56Speaker 1: Streets in North Fairmount. Officer said, I was just informed
- 59:01Speaker 1: that it is a vehicle that the driver drove into
- 59:03Speaker 1: the Mill Creek. No more additional details at least as
- 59:07Speaker 1: of the time of the reporting when I printed it
- 59:08Speaker 1: out this morning. Former UC basketball player Kerr Crisa arrested
- 59:15Speaker 1: by the FBI in connection with an alleged multi million
- 59:19Speaker 1: dollar fraud scheme. Twenty five year old been held at
- 59:22Speaker 1: the fad Kind of Dissension Center since July third. The
- 59:25Speaker 1: ejail said it can't provide information about his arrest or
- 59:28Speaker 1: the charges he faces because the case is federal. According
- 59:31Speaker 1: to Kentucky's Sports Radio, he's awaiting extradition to West Virginia
- 59:35Speaker 1: for an upcoming court hearing, as reported by KRS is
- 59:41Speaker 1: in connection with his time at West Virginia between twenty
- 59:43Speaker 1: three and twenty four. No additional details about the frauds
- 59:45Speaker 1: game have been reported. He played nineteen games for the Bearcats.
- 59:49Speaker 1: Also played basketball at University of Kentucky, West Virginia University,
- 59:52Speaker 1: and University of Arizona. According to the UC's website, scheduled
- 59:56Speaker 1: to compete at La Familia, Kentucky's team for basketball Termament tournament.
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: They released the statements saying the organization is aware of
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: the allegations against him and that he will not compete
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: with his team during the tournament. What if that has
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: to do with the betting sports betting? Russ is nodding, Yes,
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: he does believe that's the case. You can just see
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: more and more young people getting caught up in that.
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: He imagined the dangling carrot of massive quantities of money
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: merely for point shaving. That's a temptation I think many
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: will not be able to resist. Let's see here Harrodsburg,
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: my friends of Kentucky. After a boating collision at popular
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: Kentucky Lake, specialized rescue team from Ohio is helping search
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: crews find the missing victim. Collision happened between a large
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: boat and a pontoon on Harrington Lake. Acre Lake. Emergency
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: crews were called to the Pandora Marine to help happen.
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: Sometime after eight pm. Waters Rescue six rescued one person
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: who sustained traumatic injuries. Three others also rescued and taking
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: it out to the hospital. According to officials, Unfortunately, one
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: of the victims still missing. Dive teams and boats been
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: deployed from Boyle County to continue the search. That's according
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: to report from the fire District on the date of
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: the collision, and apparently things hadn't change as of July fifth,
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: the last victim remains missing now no additional updates at
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: least as far as I'm concerned, I can only hope
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: and pray that the families of the missing loved one
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: find that they're missing loved one alive. At least they
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: get some closure in the event that does not happen.
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: So be careful out there, folks. Six thirty five and
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: fifty five car see the talk station I mentioned Gate

- 1:03:20Speaker 1: the memo. Yes, I'm continuing to be critical of the
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: powers that be around here for not letting people know
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: about what's going on. Dadnyhow and you know curbage. Mike
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: just just texted me or if he sent me an
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: in some message on Facebook. Can I just only bring
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: it up because my submarine or friend probably served his
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: country in the submarine for a long long time, spending
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: six full years underwater in service to his country, go
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: ahead and take on that role. He said, they were
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: very I'm so pleased to announce this. The USS Cincinnati
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: Memorial is open. That is the beautiful memorial they did
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: US Cincinnati decommissioned submarine. They've got the Conning Tower and
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: the big Red Machine generator there, which was course named
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: after the Reds. He said it was very busy at
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: the memorial over the weekend. He met a lot of
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: very interesting guests and he also will be a chandlers
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: for listening to lunch. I'm glad to see a lot
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: of people are going showing up to that. So if
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: you haven't been there, it's Voice of America Park. Well
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: worth the trip out there. And if you're there at
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: Voice of America Park checking out the ussis Cincinnati Memorial.
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: I strongly encourage you if you can, and if it's
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: open at the time, go to the Broadcast Museum, if
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: for no other reason, I mean, all filled with greater
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: Cincinnati area, you know, local broadcasters of note in. Yeah,
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: at least at one point they had an exhibit from
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: my dad there. But I'm going to emphasize the fact
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: that they've got the Cold War exhibit. You know, the
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: Voice of America was broadcast from there and during the
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: height of the Cold War against the Soviet Union. All
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: the original equipment is still there, and the physics and
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: the technology basic you know, old school ways of getting
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: signals into areas where the signals were being blocked by
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: the Commis and the Soviet Union bouncing signals the horizon,
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: and it's just it's mind blowing and it's really I
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: think a testament to American ingenuity, again going back to
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: what we were able to accomplish. But to see all
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: that Cold War equipment there and you just can see
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: in your mind's eye the people that were manning it
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: or womanning it, as the case may be, over that
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: period of time, you know, fighting off the communist threat
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: and broadcasting the message of freedom to the poor pressed
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: members or eat people under the oppression of the communist
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: thumb just a neat thing. So consider that way. We're
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: out checking out the submarine as well. Thank you to
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: Mike for bringing that up. And while Democrats are claiming
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: that the well the Obamacare crisis, remember when the subsidies
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: got cut off because well they were temporary. They were
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: only there. Subsidies were there to deal with COVID nineteen.
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: Once we got over that hurdle. Yeah, like all of
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: these subsidy programs for COVID nineteen, the predicate for it disappeared,
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: as did the subsidy begin. The wailing and ashing of teeth.
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: We're all going to die, going to lose our insurance coverage. Well,
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: the journal is pointing out, maybe not so interesting. New
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: report by the Department of Health and Human Services released
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: in late June HHS shows that nineteen point two million
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: Americans enrolled in Obamacare plans as of February, two point
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: nine million fewer than last year. There it is two
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: point nine people lost their insurance because those evil Republicans
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: taken back the COVID related as subsidies. Rather, they point
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: out quickly, eight point eight million more people still are
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: on Obamacare than in twenty nineteen and three point eight
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: million more than twenty twenty three when those richer subsidies
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: were in play. So how is that the case? AHHS
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: says its effort to crack down on fraud stopped two
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: point nine million from receiving the subsidies for which they
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: weren't eligible. Why well, they were enrolled in Medicaid or
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: didn't file their taxes to confirm their eligibility. In other words,
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: they didn't provide the adequate paperwork to even be eligible
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: to get an Obamacare policy. That's why you take the
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: Obamacare policy away from them. So the small decline enrollment
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: a result of people losing coverage who were never eligible.
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: Laugh out loud on that one, because again, there are
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: a whole lot millions more people on Obamacare now than
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: there were in twenty twenty three when the subsidies were
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: in full effect. Now, a lower court apparently has blocked
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: some of the HHS efforts to prevent the fraud. And
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: who's behind that effort. Health and Human Services estimates that
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: two point six million more are still improperly receiving subsidies,
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: including more than one million who enrolled without Social Security
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: numbers huh pointing out that they were enrolled fraudulently in
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: zero premium plans by brokers without their knowledge. So some
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: are out there that someone with a stolen Social Security
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: number who some broker has signed up for an Obamacare
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: plan zero premium. There's part of the problem fraud, waste,
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: and abuse. Paragon Health Institute did a similar research project
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: found that fraud accounts for more than the much of
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: the recent growth in Obamacare enrollment, but it doesn't explain
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: all the growth. HHS found the three point eight million
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: of the newly new enrollees previously had other forms of coverage,
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: so I'm also previously covered by the law's small employer
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: group market, for which subsidies aren't provided. They say enrollment
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: in obamacare small group market felt to nine million from
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: eleven point five. That was in twenty twenty. Employers dropped
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: coverage or became self insured to avoid Obamacare's costly rules,
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: including benefit mandates and the restrictions on adjusting premiums based
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: on age, which is what makes Obamacare individual plans so
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: expensive without subsidies, right, because it's the default ensure. They
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: will take anyone at any time with any disease. There's
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: no underwriting it's guaranteed issue, but it's also expensive. Why
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: because Obamacare demands that every single Obamacare policy contain a
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: plate of benefits that say, some young new to the
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: workplace worker doesn't need, a young single man doesn't need
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: maternity coverage, and typically being healthy, they don't need a
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: lot of the things that Obamacare mandates and requires. Welcome
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: to one of the reasons why it's so damn expensive.
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: The journal describes Obamacare as a slow rolling failure that
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: Congress has propped up with subsidies, including that too bad,
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: President Trump and Republicans in Congress aren't explaining this to
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: voters or offering an offer them to better insurance. There
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: is a better market out there, the private market. It works.
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: Oh look, Jay's on the line. I bring up fraud.
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: I get a phone call. Thank you, Jay, look away.

- 1:11:10Speaker 1: the talk station two. If you about PARCD talk station, well,
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: anytime I'm desperate for a phone call, I just mention fraud,
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: and you know that people are talking about it. You
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: wouldn't need to try to increase our taxes and take
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: so much more from us if you just crack down
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: on the fraud. The epic amount of fraud, waste, and
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: abuse that is coming out of the government, both local
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: and federal governments, both notably are most notably in all
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: these damn COVID programs billions and billions and billions of dollars.
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: Also Medicare, Medicaid, and we also have Obamacare fraud. I
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: don't think there's a government program that isn't riddled with fraud.
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: And why don't our politicians do a better job of
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: minding the money they took out of our paychecks? Jay,
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning. Welcome back to the Morning Show.
- 1:11:52Speaker 4: Hi, good morning, Brian. Yeah, it's like I'm like the
- 1:11:55Speaker 4: pav Blovian dog. You say fraud, it's a bell ringing
- 1:11:59Speaker 4: to rates for the fund.
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: What you know, it's so important, Jay, anytime I get
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: a chance to bring it up, like this Obamacare fraud revelation,
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: I mean, it's like, why aren't people more in Maybe
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: they are in rage, but it doesn't sound like it
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: when you read mainstream either any other media outlets. Yes
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: it's there, it's reported, but there's no general consensus. There
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: don't seem to be much polling or surveying showing the
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: level of outrage or anger. Because anybody who goes to
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: work should be and I be bold and frank when
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: I say it this way, should be pissed off as
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: they can be that it happens. We live in a
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: world of AI and modern computer technology. I mean, if
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: you see a fifty fold increase and a you know,
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: a catheter once one operation spending more money or using
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: American taxpayer dollars like more than all of the other
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: states combined in terms of processing clinics for catheters, that
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: should just be something that is automatically spit out on
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: a computer algorithm. Red flag, look into this. This is
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: a big outlier, simple problem solved.
- 1:13:00Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent agree, Brian.
- 1:13:02Speaker 9: It's and it's not even AI that we need. Americans
- 1:13:05Speaker 9: for Prosperity when they did the Foyer lawsuit and won,
- 1:13:10Speaker 9: that had to be six seven, eight years ago, which
- 1:13:13Speaker 9: means Americans for Prosperity just got a hold of the
- 1:13:16Speaker 9: annual report that Congress said was required from CMMs, who
- 1:13:23Speaker 9: is now being run by doctor Ross. There was a
- 1:13:26Speaker 9: mandated report. They said, we want to see it, and
- 1:13:29Speaker 9: the federal government says, we're.
- 1:13:31Speaker 4: Not going to send it to you.
- 1:13:32Speaker 9: Yep, boy of request. They get the data. It was
- 1:13:35Speaker 9: already broken down state by state. They called it improper payment.
- 1:13:40Speaker 9: We call it fraud. And they knew about it eight
- 1:13:42Speaker 9: years ago, which means everybody knew about.
- 1:13:44Speaker 4: It eight years ago.
- 1:13:46Speaker 9: Because they had the data, they already sorted it. We
- 1:13:48Speaker 9: don't need AI. What we needed it was action, and
- 1:13:51Speaker 9: what we get is in action, and because we get politicians.
- 1:13:55Speaker 9: I really wasn't pleased with Bernie Marino's response to your
- 1:13:58Speaker 9: good question during your inner with him last week when
- 1:14:01Speaker 9: you said, what about fraud?
- 1:14:03Speaker 10: Shouldn't you do.
- 1:14:04Speaker 9: That before you came up with Elizabeth Warren on how
- 1:14:07Speaker 9: do we start increasing medicaid revenue by collecting more money
- 1:14:13Speaker 9: from people? And his response was, and you brought up correctly,
- 1:14:17Speaker 9: but how about small business isn't just going to hurt him?
- 1:14:19Speaker 9: His answer was, well, small business people really don't pay
- 1:14:22Speaker 9: much into social and security because they don't pay themselves
- 1:14:25Speaker 9: much of a salary.
- 1:14:27Speaker 4: Can he prove that because a small.
- 1:14:29Speaker 9: Business owner and I could tell you that I pay
- 1:14:31Speaker 9: a ton of money and socials. Maybe that's how he
- 1:14:34Speaker 9: ran his business bad rush businesses businesses. Maybe he paid
- 1:14:38Speaker 9: himself a dollar a year. My CPA won't let me
- 1:14:41Speaker 9: get away with that.
- 1:14:42Speaker 10: Maybe his did.
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: Well response the important component about that dealing with the
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: fraud and abuse. Maybe his response might have been, I
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: know there's documented fraud out there, but even if we
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: find the billions and billions of dollars in document fraud
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: in the Social Security program, it wouldn't solve the problem
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: that we face as we run out of money in
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: the quote unquote trust fund. But the retort to that
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: should be, so what if you're going to justify changing
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: the program that is going to bring about a higher
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: tax revenue from individuals? You're no, I'm going to have
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: a cap there or fill in the blank on whatever
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: fix that's going to cost us more money or result
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: in us having less money in our Social Security payment.
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: You better justify that by first saying we've dealt with
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: the fraud, and after dealing with the fraud, the pain
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: isn't going to be as bad. But we still need
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: to engage in fixes. At least sell to the American
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: people that you've done your upfront work before coming to
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: ask for more.
- 1:15:37Speaker 4: Undred percent agree, Brian. And he also said that he.
- 1:15:39Speaker 9: Wasn't willing to walk away from the conversation with Elizabeth Warren.
- 1:15:43Speaker 9: There was no conversation. There was a full, unconditional surrender. Hi,
- 1:15:48Speaker 9: my name is Bernie. Can I work with you to
- 1:15:49Speaker 9: increase Social Security stunding? There was no conversation. What shouldn't
- 1:15:54Speaker 9: move to the right one ounce?
- 1:15:56Speaker 4: He moved completely to the left, and I'm going to
- 1:15:59Speaker 4: plead to the listener. Call Bernie Marino's office. Do we
- 1:16:02Speaker 4: just need ten of us? I will call. We just
- 1:16:05Speaker 4: need nine more?
- 1:16:06Speaker 9: Call and express your displeasure. He could have teamed up
- 1:16:10Speaker 9: with anybody. He chose Elizabeth Warren, and he could have
- 1:16:13Speaker 9: came up with any solution.
- 1:16:14Speaker 4: If he chose to increase taxes. Don't vote Rhino, don't
- 1:16:18Speaker 4: vote Democrat.
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: Thanks for what you guys, Thanks for the number, because
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: ten apparently is enough to get you and your concerns
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: on the radar of any elected official, because no one
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: bothers calling ever. Six fifty seven right now, more coming
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: up plus Christopher Smith aman at seven twenty. I hope
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: you can stick around America.
- 1:16:37Speaker 6: All at two fifty on fifty five krc D talkstation.
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: Seven yeah, forty five PERCD talk station. Christophers Smitheman coming
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: up in the next segment, as he does every Monday

- 1:17:15Speaker 1: Make sure you have the dot iheard dot com. Yeah,
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: I had to figure that one out on my own.
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: Someone changed the rules on me without even letting me
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: know anyway, Christopher Smith and coming up next, money Money
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: with Brian James one hour from now, why business owners
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: have a tax planning advantage that w two employees don't.
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: We'll find out about that, plus five reasons why you
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: should wait until you're seventy years old before claiming Social Security.
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: And then finally, the pros and cons are the one
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: thousand dollars baby bonus in the Trump accounts. That's at
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: eight oh five with Brian James. So five one, three, seven, four, nine,
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three talk pound
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: five fifty on AT and T phones love to hear
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: from you. You've got a comment. Russ Jackson filling in
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: for the vacationing Joe Strecker. I think his longest vacation
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: Joe's ever taken since I've been here in the Morning
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: show a full week this week and next Monday. So
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: I'm going to muddle through without Joe strek or Barruss
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: doing a good job this morning. Of course, he is
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: and listener lunch Wednesday at Chandler's Burger Bistro on the
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: West Side. I mentioned sub mariner Mike earlier in connection
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: with the vas Uss Cincinnati exhibit. He is my cribbage friend,
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: so he said he was going to be there at
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: listener lunch, and everyone's invited. It's always a really nice
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: time from my perspective anyway. The fellowship is amazing. So
- 1:18:27Speaker 1: what else is going on in the wide wide world
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: of sports? I mentioned this article by Mark Penn and
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: Andrew Stein, two Democrat operatives for various Democrat campaigns, worrying
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: about the socialism threat, calling it real and pointing out
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: something That's been on my mind and obvious to me,
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: and I've been saying it out loud for a while.
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: It's only eighteen to twenty five percent of registered Democrats
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: voted in like, for example, the New York elections, which
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: came away with three mom damiendors socialists eighteen to twenty
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: four percent. I think in one district it was only
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: seven percent. Okay. They cite the situation with Alexandri Casio Cortez,
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: AOC first primary one in twenty eighteen, fewer than seventeen
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: thousand voters in a district of seven hundred and fifteen
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: thousand eligible voters. That's seventeen determined her fate and the
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: fate of those who she now represents. I know she's
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: been re elected, but it's how she gets her foot
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: in the door in the first place. It is a
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: well oiled machine. The campaign machine has a great organizational
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: effort funded by big multi billionaire owners. So political apathies
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: driving this in large part. But I think ignorance of
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: who these candidates are also driving it. And I appreciate
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: Victor David Hanson's analysis of this, but you know, who
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: are these people? Who are these new Democrats, socialists and
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: their fellow travelers, And he found an interesting sort of
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: consistency among who these can its are and people who
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: I would never consider voting for someone who always says
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: you're electing people in even the best possible candidates don't
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: really know Jack's squad about much of the things that
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: they legislate over. You know, are they computer experts? Can
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: they design cell phones? They know anything about sewage systems
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: and waterways? And do they know about pollution? Do they
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: know how small modular reactors work or the ins and
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: outs of everything that goes into that. No, they don't
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: know anything about anything. Really, you just elected them, and
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: in a representative form of government, they're the ones we
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: send to make these all important decisions which impact literally
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: every aspect of our lives, when most of them aren't
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: necessarily equipped to deal with what they're working on a
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: nod and understanding that a lot of times perhaps they are.
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: They have areas of specialty I will acknowledge, and maybe
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: they're on a committee on their area of specialty. But
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: what of these socialists?
- 1:21:00Speaker 4: You know?
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: Jumping into Victor David Hanson's point on this, he says,
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: you know, their worldview is shaped more by consumption than production,
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: as though goods simply arrive in and depart from cities
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: on autopilot. A disproportionate number of our most prominent radicals
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: are either first or second generation immigrants, most originating from
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: failed or illiberal states in which was into which what
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: was once called the Third World. They still are, but
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: they the socialists or their parents left their homelands in
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: search of wealthier countries, fairer societies, greater opportunity, in many cases,
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: safety and freedom.
- 1:21:36Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: Once here, many of their families have prospered, often aided
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: by extensive educational and institutional support from the generous American host.
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: Few have even tried to explain the paradox of fleeing
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: failed states only to become virulent critics of the charitable
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: nation they chose to join. Many are college educated, often
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: with degrees and fields that did not translate into the
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: professional pathways they believed they were entitled to. Two. They're
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: often glib, but otherwise poorly educated. Few possess any real
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: grounding in history, literature, or these stem fields. Most of
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: the major and minor courses of study are in the
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: social sciences, political science. That's the degree I got. It's worthless.
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: I got one. I've joked all the time. I don't
- 1:22:31Speaker 1: know what the hell I would have done. Why political
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: science degree graduated from UC if I didn't go to
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: law school, but first and foremost Victor David Hanson, political science, sociology, psychology,
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: community relations, or the infamous quote unquote studies program. Yeah,
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: they aren't working out to what you expected, are they.
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: You've got in the whole about one hundred and fifty
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: two hundred thousand dollars. You have a studies degree. That's
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: who these folks are. When they graduated from left wing universities,
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: they emerged strikingly arrogant and ignorance at once as elite
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: radical egalitarians. They proudly brandished their degrees and constantly referenced
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: their university training. Yet, for all the time and money
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: poured into college during what were supposed to be the
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: best years of their lives, prolonged adolescents and bitterness appear
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: epidemic among the new young socialists. In college, they rub
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: doubles with leftist leits, wealthy students, tenured professors, and lavishly
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: paid administrators. They came to believe that they had earned
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: their membership in this exclusive club. When that sense of
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: belonging didn't properly materialize, rage and shame drove them to
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: find cosmic solutions for their own poor choices and personal disappointments,
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: pivoting over Many of them AOC, Milid Kiros, James Telerygo,
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: Graham Platner, Claire Valdez are either childless, single, or both.
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: For all their sermonizing about diversity, it is a relatively
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: rare to find a Democratic socialist who is suburban, married
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: with children, and therefore has a direct personal stake in
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: local school curricula, charter schools, vouchers, crime law enforcement, and
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: basic urban safety. They don't get it. It's like Nancy
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: Pelosi in the middle of COVID, sitting in front of
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: her twenty five thousand dollars refrigerator freezer, eating fifteen dollars
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: a pine ice cream, telling you, yeah, just do things
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: like I do. She didn't get it. They're overtly assessed
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: with tribal identity AOC and reheated to lead, fixated on
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: white privilege and white supremacy. Drolisa Albia Chevalier has denounced
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: white women who date non whites as quote ugly colonizer
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: women close quote nice progressive mentality from her huh mom
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: dommy openly targe getting wider neighborhoods for higher taxes. Most
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: of them know whites only as fellow left wing by
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: coastal elites who embrace their sociology stupidity or socialist stupidity,
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: rather not the working class, poor, or whites who live
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: in the nation's interior. You know, that flyover country that
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: they don't get. A lot of Democrats out there don't
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: embrace this socialism nonsense, scratching their head over the direction
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: they're going. And I understand that. And how can a
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: thirty plus year old man be capable enough of running
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: the entire city of New York seems like a rather
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: complex challenge, the people who voted for them lacking in
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: well any basic understanding of economics in the way the
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: worlds work, and any basic understanding of history. In other words,
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: trying to study them a take mistakes of the past,
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: like the multitude of times socialism and communists has failed epically.
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: They embrace this stuff, and yet while they are demonstrably
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: stupid and embracing it and not studying the realities of
- 1:26:04Speaker 1: history and economics. The problem lies with the well small
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: percentage of people who voted for them. This is where
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: the concept of useful idiots comes in, folks. If the
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: smarter and more educated people who should know better don't
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: get up and vote, then the useful idiots, well funded
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: as they are, delusional as they are, and stupid enough
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: to buy into these socialist policies thinking that well, it's
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: all going to work out fine this time, because it's
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: never worked out before. Those are the ones who end
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: up electing our officials in this representative form of governments.
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: I want to know why we're running off the rails.
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: Education systems failed us and you have failed yourself by
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: not taking this seriously. Seven sixteen Right now, if you
- 1:26:51Speaker 1: I have krc DE talk station Christopher Smith, Amen, coming

- 1:27:26Speaker 1: HVAC company, and of course Zimmer knows that, which is
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: why they specialize in carrier. But when it comes to

- 1:28:03Speaker 1: Is seven seven twenty one. I think about Krey City
- 1:28:06Speaker 1: Talk station. It being Monday, one of my favorite times
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: a week we get to hear from the former Vice
- 1:28:10Speaker 1: Mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smitheman. Welcome back
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: to the Smithvan Christopher. I hope you had a wonderful
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: holiday weekend they're celebrating Independence Day.
- 1:28:18Speaker 4: Thank you so much. I did a very relaxing and
- 1:28:22Speaker 4: two hundred and fifty years and you know, I've been
- 1:28:23Speaker 4: listening to your show like I like I do and
- 1:28:26Speaker 4: getting ready for this segment. I just want to be
- 1:28:31Speaker 4: clear about a couple of things. One is, our American
- 1:28:34Speaker 4: flag is a symbol, right, It's a symbol of freedom.
- 1:28:40Speaker 4: And I think you're right that when people see the
- 1:28:44Speaker 4: flag now, which is which is alarming, that they think, oh,
- 1:28:48Speaker 4: the person on the other side of that door, because
- 1:28:50Speaker 4: they have the flag is a conservative, or is a Republican,
- 1:28:54Speaker 4: or is a libertarian, but not a Democrat. That used
- 1:28:57Speaker 4: to not be a case. That was not the case,
- 1:29:00Speaker 4: Brian Thomas. I mean, when we got to like things
- 1:29:03Speaker 4: like the flag, the country, police, the military, it was
- 1:29:07Speaker 4: a unifying place for the electeds. You didn't have people going, man,
- 1:29:12Speaker 4: I want to reimagine the police. So I don't like ice,
- 1:29:16Speaker 4: I don't like the military and the I and I
- 1:29:20Speaker 4: hate my country. I'm embarrassed to live there. That just
- 1:29:23Speaker 4: wasn't the case. I'm gonna I'm just going to say
- 1:29:26Speaker 4: ten years ago. So you're right, you're right about that.
- 1:29:30Speaker 4: As the flag and I and I just want to
- 1:29:32Speaker 4: warn parents in the beginning here in this segment that
- 1:29:36Speaker 4: their children are preparing to go off to college. They
- 1:29:39Speaker 4: have a lot of freshmen's students who are headed across
- 1:29:42Speaker 4: the country from Ohio, from Kentucky, Indiana, Executive They're going
- 1:29:45Speaker 4: different places. I really encourage parents to not allow their
- 1:29:49Speaker 4: children to register to vote where they're going to college,
- 1:29:53Speaker 4: that they register them to vote in the state that
- 1:29:56Speaker 4: they live, at their home address on the people who
- 1:29:59Speaker 4: are paying the bill. Ill and make sure that your
- 1:30:01Speaker 4: children come home to participate and they're not voting where
- 1:30:06Speaker 4: they're going to college, because that allows that professor, that administrator,
- 1:30:11Speaker 4: that that student group, that group that is really kind
- 1:30:16Speaker 4: of cultish, to kind of hijack your child's mind, hijack
- 1:30:20Speaker 4: their politics, get them participating, and that kind of is
- 1:30:23Speaker 4: the beginning. That's where you see young people on college
- 1:30:25Speaker 4: campuses saying they're protesting, their burning flags, they're doing sit
- 1:30:30Speaker 4: ins in there in some administrative building. Really watch what's
- 1:30:36Speaker 4: happening with your child, because they are being radicalized on
- 1:30:39Speaker 4: a lot of these campuses. And it starts Brian Thomas
- 1:30:42Speaker 4: with the registration. I registered your child to vote. Now
- 1:30:46Speaker 4: they're hours and we're going to line them up and
- 1:30:49Speaker 4: have them vote in the direction we want them to
- 1:30:51Speaker 4: go in.
- 1:30:51Speaker 10: Be careful.
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: It's an excellent point, and I think anybody went through college,
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: and less so for folks like me who at least
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: started out commuting. But you are, you know, seventeen eighteen
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: years old, maybe nineteen, You're thrown into an environment where
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: you don't know anyone. You're looking for connection and relationships.
- 1:31:09Speaker 1: We all are, and quite often they'll get hooked up
- 1:31:12Speaker 1: with some radical left wing organization that will have a
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: tremendous amount of influence from them, simply because they're looking
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: for friendship and companionship in an otherwise lonely environment where
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: they don't know anyone. It's an easy way for you know,
- 1:31:23Speaker 1: bad ideas to creep into your own child's head, notwithstanding
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: how smart they might have been politically or otherwise when
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: they left the house off to the left wing indoctrination camp.
- 1:31:32Speaker 1: So that's why have them come home and vote, and
- 1:31:35Speaker 1: then you can have a conversation and discuss the merits
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: and the qualifications of each and every candidate and go
- 1:31:43Speaker 1: back over all the reasons why you wanted them to vote.
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: A particular way. Not that they have to vote how
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: you tell them, but at least give a go at
- 1:31:51Speaker 1: having an informed conversation about the candidates and what they
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: stand for.
- 1:31:56Speaker 4: Absolutely, and I also encourage families to literally snail mail
- 1:32:02Speaker 4: right to kids, so Grandpaul, grandma, aunts and uncles, because
- 1:32:08Speaker 4: it's that freshman year Brian Thomas that a lot of
- 1:32:11Speaker 4: these young people are grabbed. So what you want to
- 1:32:13Speaker 4: do is you want your family like putting that imprint
- 1:32:16Speaker 4: on them. They're writing them, they're encouraging them, they're making
- 1:32:20Speaker 4: them remember home. You're reminding them of their values so
- 1:32:23Speaker 4: that they don't fill alone and they stay connected to family.
- 1:32:27Speaker 4: But that's where it's happening is their freshman years, when
- 1:32:29Speaker 4: they check in in August or September, and by the
- 1:32:32Speaker 4: time they get to Thanksgiving and Christmas and they come home,
- 1:32:34Speaker 4: a lot of these parents don't even know who their
- 1:32:36Speaker 4: child is. They go, what in the world who has
- 1:32:39Speaker 4: shown up? They show up in a totally different outfit.
- 1:32:42Speaker 4: They're talking crazy to their grandparents. They don't want to
- 1:32:46Speaker 4: sit down and eat turkey anymore. I mean, it's a
- 1:32:49Speaker 4: totally I'm letting you know, dude, it happens when they
- 1:32:52Speaker 4: land on that campus. By the time they get home
- 1:32:55Speaker 4: for Thanksgiving and Christmas, that student oftentimes is gone. You
- 1:33:00Speaker 4: gotta stay on this. And this is not like a
- 1:33:02Speaker 4: spleen bent like I normally do. But I just wanted
- 1:33:04Speaker 4: to warn parents because I have a freshman student who
- 1:33:07Speaker 4: graduated from Seton who's about to go off to college,
- 1:33:11Speaker 4: and these are the conversations that I'm having with her.
- 1:33:13Speaker 4: I've already registered her to vote. I'm already talking to
- 1:33:17Speaker 4: her about my values and my expectations on and I
- 1:33:21Speaker 4: mean on who she dates, who her friends are. To
- 1:33:24Speaker 4: beware of these things because these groups are communist groups,
- 1:33:30Speaker 4: socialist groups. They are very aggressively recruiting those freshmen students.
- 1:33:35Speaker 1: When they arrive they are and Amen. And this is
- 1:33:38Speaker 1: just continuing a path, Christopher that I know you've been
- 1:33:41Speaker 1: on since your children were born. Caring and concerned parents.
- 1:33:45Speaker 1: So get on top of before they head out the door. Amen, brother,
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: Amen semetist for that. Don't go away. We got more

- 1:35:54Speaker 1: gonna love it and you're gonna come back probably better
- 1:35:56Speaker 1: than you left. Anyway, Not enough of those colleges out there,
- 1:35:59Speaker 1: Christopher Pitt over to well round two here this morning.
- 1:36:02Speaker 1: What else on your mind, my friend?
- 1:36:05Speaker 4: So last week this is a sleeper story. An assistant chief.
- 1:36:10Speaker 4: His name is Assistant Chief Sherman. He's a firefighter, Brian Thomas,
- 1:36:16Speaker 4: and he was terminated by the city manager November of
- 1:36:21Speaker 4: last year. This is the pattern. So from November of
- 1:36:24Speaker 4: last year until last week he was unemployed. Now, when
- 1:36:30Speaker 4: you're an assistant chief within the City of Cincinnati, you
- 1:36:34Speaker 4: are covered by the union, unlike the police chief and
- 1:36:39Speaker 4: fire chief. So this assistant chief went through the process
- 1:36:43Speaker 4: whatever that is. You're a lawyer, the administrative hearings, whatever
- 1:36:47Speaker 4: that is, and it's all defined assistant.
- 1:36:50Speaker 1: Chief last week, it's all defined in the bargaining agreement. Yeah,
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: you got to get there's a process for people who
- 1:36:54Speaker 1: are covered by it and the chiefs are not. That's correct.
- 1:36:58Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, And so this is a sleeper story that
- 1:37:02Speaker 4: hasn't made it to the news or they're not talking
- 1:37:04Speaker 4: about it. But last week the assistant chief Chief Sherman
- 1:37:08Speaker 4: was reinstated or god has got backed or won the
- 1:37:13Speaker 4: arbitration hearing. What was this? Who fired the assistant chief? Okay,
- 1:37:19Speaker 4: the current city manager and why did the city manager
- 1:37:24Speaker 4: fire the assistant chief?
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: Huh, Well, it's accused. If history's any guide, Well for
- 1:37:31Speaker 1: some well non reason. They didn't have a reason. They
- 1:37:33Speaker 1: just wanted to get rid of them for some reason
- 1:37:34Speaker 1: and fired them. Although in this particular case what happened
- 1:37:38Speaker 1: was there a reason.
- 1:37:38Speaker 4: Christopher Yes, the city manager, said that this assistant chief
- 1:37:45Speaker 4: was assisting his old boss, Chief Washington. That was the accusation.
- 1:37:52Speaker 4: So you're assisting him. How are you assisting him? You
- 1:37:55Speaker 4: sent him an email about some information regard determination through
- 1:38:01Speaker 4: the arbitration. Brian Thomas, the arbitrator, said, the email that
- 1:38:06Speaker 4: was provided was public record.
- 1:38:08Speaker 1: It's a news article.
- 1:38:11Speaker 4: He didn't give she Washington anything that nobody else knew.
- 1:38:16Speaker 4: This was a manager that was showing they were vindictive.
- 1:38:20Speaker 4: They didn't like Chief Washington, they didn't like anybody that
- 1:38:24Speaker 4: liked him or supported him, and she terminated him. Now,
- 1:38:28Speaker 4: this is what's going to happen. Number One, taxpayers, all
- 1:38:32Speaker 4: of the money of wages, lost wages from November of
- 1:38:36Speaker 4: last year until he comes back into that office. He's
- 1:38:39Speaker 4: going to get all his money back, he's going to
- 1:38:41Speaker 4: get all contributions to his pension. Then, if he's smart,
- 1:38:46Speaker 4: he's going to march down to Chief Washington's attorney and
- 1:38:51Speaker 4: they're gonna file yet another lawsuit against the City of
- 1:38:54Speaker 4: Cincinnati people. This is another smoking gun of why we've
- 1:39:00Speaker 4: been collecting signatures saying, hey, city manager, no matter who
- 1:39:06Speaker 4: you are, not personality driven. We want the Board of
- 1:39:10Speaker 4: Directors involved so that there's some conversations happening and you
- 1:39:15Speaker 4: don't have this one person pulling the trigger that's putting
- 1:39:19Speaker 4: the taxpayers of Cincinnati on the hook like this. This
- 1:39:22Speaker 4: is gonna be I don't think it's gonna be a
- 1:39:24Speaker 4: five million dollar case, but it's probably a million our
- 1:39:28Speaker 4: couple million dollar case because you went after him, You
- 1:39:31Speaker 4: hurt his reputation, he got his job back, and you
- 1:39:34Speaker 4: said he did something that of helping Chief Washington. These
- 1:39:38Speaker 4: two cases now will be connected by the timing. So
- 1:39:41Speaker 4: it's not like this is an information or item that
- 1:39:44Speaker 4: I wanted to share with the public that for whatever,
- 1:39:47Speaker 4: for whatever reason, the newspapers and the news are not
- 1:39:50Speaker 4: writing about. But you're gonna hear about it this week
- 1:39:53Speaker 4: because Chief Sherman is going to be walking back in
- 1:39:55Speaker 4: this week or next week taking his job back as
- 1:39:59Speaker 4: the assistant chief.
- 1:40:00Speaker 1: Now he would not have been assuming your signature gathering
- 1:40:03Speaker 1: campaign to deal to have council members deal with the
- 1:40:06Speaker 1: hiring and firing of police and fire chiefs, it would
- 1:40:09Speaker 1: not have impacted that. In other words, you're only talking
- 1:40:11Speaker 1: about chiefs because again, assistant chiefs are covered by the
- 1:40:15Speaker 1: collective bargaining agreement.
- 1:40:18Speaker 4: Correct, correct, And that's why we don't have to include them.
- 1:40:22Speaker 4: But what I am showing you is an environment of
- 1:40:25Speaker 4: culture that if there was a check in balance here
- 1:40:29Speaker 4: that I'm talking about where the city manager had to
- 1:40:32Speaker 4: check you in, Brian Thomas, with the board of directors
- 1:40:35Speaker 4: that are called city council, I don't believe police Chief
- 1:40:39Speaker 4: Fiji would have been terminated and I don't believe that
- 1:40:43Speaker 4: Chief Washington would have been terminated. It's a culture here
- 1:40:47Speaker 4: where this manager, for whatever reason, and it's not personality driven,
- 1:40:52Speaker 4: is pushing the envelope here and is beyond their limitation
- 1:40:56Speaker 4: of authority. A guess who pays the bill, Brian Thomas
- 1:40:59Speaker 4: is the taxpayer. I got to keep coming back to
- 1:41:02Speaker 4: the taxpayer because they're like, why is this my business?
- 1:41:04Speaker 4: This is an HR issue. That's why we're asking you
- 1:41:07Speaker 4: to sign the petition because this is gonna cost us
- 1:41:10Speaker 4: tens of millions and millions of dollars and I'm talking
- 1:41:13Speaker 4: you're gonna see some of that.
- 1:41:14Speaker 1: This year.
- 1:41:15Speaker 4: The last point is that Chief Washington's case was appealed.
- 1:41:19Speaker 4: It was appealed to that appellate court. Brian Thomas, you
- 1:41:22Speaker 4: know more about this. You and your lovely bride Paulette,
- 1:41:25Speaker 4: know more about this than I do. But this three
- 1:41:27Speaker 4: panel judge is about to drop a bomb on the city.
- 1:41:30Speaker 4: I believe and say yet again, City, you've appealed this case.
- 1:41:34Speaker 4: You've lost again. Go back to the lower court. This
- 1:41:37Speaker 4: is for the chief and you're gonna have two decisions
- 1:41:40Speaker 4: to make. City. You're gonna say, I either settle the
- 1:41:43Speaker 4: case or we go to trial twelve in the box.
- 1:41:48Speaker 4: I just don't think the city, to the taxpayer is
- 1:41:51Speaker 4: going to go twelve in the box. They're on this case.
- 1:41:54Speaker 4: They're gonna say, you know what, we've got to settle
- 1:41:56Speaker 4: the case. What is it worth? Is it seven million?
- 1:41:58Speaker 4: Is it five million? Is eight million? But it's not
- 1:42:01Speaker 4: one million? Right? You can't ruin somebody's reputation for three
- 1:42:05Speaker 4: and a half years. This is Chief Washington and think
- 1:42:08Speaker 4: that a judge is only going to give you a
- 1:42:09Speaker 4: million or two million. Lawyer, You lawyer, Brian Thomas, this
- 1:42:13Speaker 4: is his one case might cost us ten million. And
- 1:42:17Speaker 4: then once he's done, you then will have Chief Fiji.
- 1:42:21Speaker 4: She's going through the administrative hearing now to get her
- 1:42:24Speaker 4: job back. You and I know that is not going
- 1:42:26Speaker 4: to happen even though she's not under the collective bargaining.
- 1:42:29Speaker 4: And then she will then launch her lawsuit, probably sometime
- 1:42:32Speaker 4: this summer, are in the fall, so we're gonna most
- 1:42:35Speaker 4: likely have three pending litigations based on what this city
- 1:42:39Speaker 4: manager has done. And we are encouraging people across our city.
- 1:42:43Speaker 4: Please this is not This is not a political issue.
- 1:42:46Speaker 4: It's not about your political party. This is about us
- 1:42:50Speaker 4: coming together saying what is in the best interests of
- 1:42:53Speaker 4: the citizens. By last point before we go to break,
- 1:42:56Speaker 4: people are telling other people Brian Thomas, that I don't
- 1:42:59Speaker 4: like black women, meaning they're saying the reason, yes, sir,
- 1:43:04Speaker 4: the reason I'm pursuing this, and I'm going to say
- 1:43:06Speaker 4: it publicly, telling Democrats don't sign because Smithamen doesn't like
- 1:43:13Speaker 4: black women. Now here's the thing they don't here, here's
- 1:43:16Speaker 4: the thing they don't say. I know, Brian, he's so insane.
- 1:43:19Speaker 4: Here's the thing they don't Here's the thing they do
- 1:43:21Speaker 4: not say. They do not tell you. Here's what they
- 1:43:24Speaker 4: don't tell you. They don't tell you that Chief Washington
- 1:43:28Speaker 4: is a Black American, meaning a lot of people because
- 1:43:31Speaker 4: we don't talk about race. They don't even know the
- 1:43:33Speaker 4: previous chief that you and I are talking about is
- 1:43:36Speaker 4: a black American. They also don't tell you that the
- 1:43:39Speaker 4: assistant chief that was terminated, Assistant Chief Sherman, is a
- 1:43:44Speaker 4: black meal right. And they also don't tell you that
- 1:43:47Speaker 4: I am a Black American. So everybody involved that we're
- 1:43:51Speaker 4: talking about is a black American. Why would Democrats be
- 1:43:55Speaker 4: running around using Smithamen? Does it like black women? That
- 1:43:58Speaker 4: is why he's pursuing the petition Christopher V. That's coming
- 1:44:03Speaker 4: from city Hall. But I had to address it because
- 1:44:05Speaker 4: I want people to know, Listen, this has nothing to
- 1:44:08Speaker 4: do with race or class or identity politics. This is
- 1:44:13Speaker 4: just about signing the petition to get on the ballot
- 1:44:16Speaker 4: one day to say you cannot cost us tens of
- 1:44:19Speaker 4: millions of dollars going forward.
- 1:44:20Speaker 1: I will parenthetically point out that I remember your late wife,
- 1:44:24Speaker 1: beautiful woman. You raised your family with that beautiful woman,
- 1:44:27Speaker 1: who was also black, and you were devastated when that
- 1:44:33Speaker 1: black woman died. Don't go away more with Christopher Smilman
- 1:44:35Speaker 1: right now. Seven thirty nine fifty taple are crazy. That's
- 1:44:40Speaker 1: a shame too. Anyway, you've got joint pain, knee pain,
- 1:44:44Speaker 1: hit pain, back pain, it could be a consequence of
- 1:44:46Speaker 1: maybe an injury, could be arthritis pain. You've got the pain,
- 1:44:49Speaker 1: and you know who's dealing with that as well as you,
- 1:44:51Speaker 1: all your loved ones who miss you and the activities
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: you used to do together. So for your own benefit,
- 1:44:56Speaker 1: the benefit of those who missed your company, QC Kinetics,

- 1:45:13Speaker 1: and placing them exactly where that pain is being generated from.

- 1:45:59Speaker 1: Hell with the Clock Brian Thomas. Christopher Smithman still laughing
- 1:46:03Speaker 1: over the whole idea you hate black women or don't
- 1:46:04Speaker 1: like black women? There, Christopher, and Russ, who's covering for Joe,
- 1:46:08Speaker 1: astutely observed over the break there he is, I guess
- 1:46:10Speaker 1: that means you don't like your daughter either, Christopher.
- 1:46:17Speaker 4: But it's just how crazy identity politics are now. Ran.
- 1:46:21Speaker 4: It's like it's like off the rails. And so you
- 1:46:23Speaker 4: know in the panic attack that citizens are you know,
- 1:46:27Speaker 4: might sign somebody's petition. And by the way, we have
- 1:46:30Speaker 4: over seventy people out there collecting. This is not something
- 1:46:34Speaker 4: that I'm doing. This is all organic and citizens are
- 1:46:37Speaker 4: out their collecting linatures that they're telling people then and
- 1:46:40Speaker 4: so they're calling that hey man, this this this person
- 1:46:43Speaker 4: that I won't name them. This was this this this
- 1:46:45Speaker 4: particular call came from somebody in the city who actually
- 1:46:49Speaker 4: does I won't say their name, and I won't confirm
- 1:46:51Speaker 4: it does some consulting work for the city who is
- 1:46:54Speaker 4: specifically passing this information at all. But here's what I
- 1:46:58Speaker 4: will Here's what I will say. Look, these team takeovers
- 1:47:03Speaker 4: that are happening across our country are really scary when
- 1:47:07Speaker 4: you see them because they're they're jumping on cars, they're
- 1:47:12Speaker 4: attacking citizens who are just walking down the street. They're
- 1:47:17Speaker 4: they're breaking into businesses, or they're fighting inside establishments. And
- 1:47:22Speaker 4: it's not like one or two people Brian Thomas, it's
- 1:47:25Speaker 4: like one hundred to three hundred or four hundred youth.
- 1:47:29Speaker 4: And I just this kind of behavior. I pray that
- 1:47:33Speaker 4: our Cincinnati police that they just don't tolerate it, like
- 1:47:37Speaker 4: they really get on top of this. So because as
- 1:47:40Speaker 4: this weather heats up, as we've talked about, this is
- 1:47:43Speaker 4: when we're kind of in the heart of where these
- 1:47:45Speaker 4: problems can happen. We've already seen the gun violence accelerating
- 1:47:49Speaker 4: in the city of Cincinnati. I think we're gonna see
- 1:47:52Speaker 4: more of that as we march through July and August unfortunately,
- 1:47:55Speaker 4: and I and last week the city and I think
- 1:47:58Speaker 4: you saw this, the City of Cincinnati said Cincinnati is safe.
- 1:48:03Speaker 4: Violence is down, gun violence is down. Data I don't
- 1:48:07Speaker 4: know what they're talking about. Like it's almost like they're
- 1:48:10Speaker 4: two narratives, like they want us every time the gun
- 1:48:13Speaker 4: violence happens that I don't know how many people were
- 1:48:15Speaker 4: shot the past weekend. It might have been eight or
- 1:48:17Speaker 4: nine people, not this past weekend, the weekend before, but
- 1:48:20Speaker 4: right in the middle of the week, Like there are
- 1:48:22Speaker 4: these press conferences that happened since my last show saying hey,
- 1:48:26Speaker 4: Cincinnati is safe and there's no problem. And when they
- 1:48:28Speaker 4: do talk about there being a problem, Brian Thomas, they
- 1:48:31Speaker 4: blame it on the gun. They say it's the gun,
- 1:48:34Speaker 4: like this gun is the issue, and I'm looking going,
- 1:48:37Speaker 4: what are you talking about? Like this is about behavior,
- 1:48:40Speaker 4: it's about culture, it's about parents not knowing where their
- 1:48:44Speaker 4: kids are. I mean, it's a lot of things, but
- 1:48:46Speaker 4: it's not about the gun itself. And so I think
- 1:48:49Speaker 4: this is kind of like where democrats run to, like
- 1:48:52Speaker 4: it becomes what are their talking points, so they really
- 1:48:55Speaker 4: don't have to deal with the issue or the problem,
- 1:48:58Speaker 4: and I'm saying this to voter out there because you're
- 1:49:01Speaker 4: voting for these people. That's not a solution. It's never
- 1:49:04Speaker 4: gonna work. People are always going to have their Second
- 1:49:07Speaker 4: Amendment rights. We're talking illegal guns, not legal guns. And
- 1:49:11Speaker 4: so this this conversation keeps surfacing from our council members. Hey,
- 1:49:16Speaker 4: we got to work on getting guns. This is about
- 1:49:18Speaker 4: the gun. It's not it's about parents broken home. Well,
- 1:49:21Speaker 4: it's about it's about you know, parents and guardians not
- 1:49:26Speaker 4: knowing where their kids are.
- 1:49:28Speaker 1: The other thing that's off and overlooked is they go
- 1:49:30Speaker 1: after the gun. Is the idea that black men are
- 1:49:34Speaker 1: young people are killing their fellow black young people. It's
- 1:49:37Speaker 1: an overwhelming epidemic. I listen to brother Dre Kursbreaker's three
- 1:49:42Speaker 1: hundred did a rant the other day about this. Listen,
- 1:49:43Speaker 1: but you know, people, the black people are killing each other.
- 1:49:47Speaker 1: We need to address this situation. The black community needs
- 1:49:50Speaker 1: to come down on its young people because they're killing
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: each other. Prosperous young men who might have a great
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: life in front of them dying between the ages of
- 1:49:58Speaker 1: sixteen and twenty four in overwhelming them numbers killed by
- 1:50:01Speaker 1: their fellow you know, sixteen to twenty four year old
- 1:50:04Speaker 1: black men. It's terrible.
- 1:50:06Speaker 4: It is really bad, and these are all Americans could
- 1:50:10Speaker 4: have tremendous potential in life. It should be the number
- 1:50:15Speaker 4: one conversation the Democratic Party is having because Black Americans
- 1:50:21Speaker 4: are the base of the party. So why aren't you
- 1:50:24Speaker 4: trying to solve this right? And it's not just about
- 1:50:27Speaker 4: opening up a pool, opening up a rec center, doing
- 1:50:31Speaker 4: midnight basketball. Look the people who have the guns, who
- 1:50:34Speaker 4: are out here doing this. It's a small, small, small percentage.
- 1:50:38Speaker 4: Black Americans are getting up every day. I see this.
- 1:50:40Speaker 4: I talk about this every time we bring up this subject,
- 1:50:44Speaker 4: going to work, handling their business and raising their kids.
- 1:50:47Speaker 5: Right.
- 1:50:47Speaker 4: The reality of it is the kids that are having
- 1:50:49Speaker 4: the guns are not the ones that are showing up
- 1:50:51Speaker 4: for midnight basketball, are wanting to swim or like the
- 1:50:54Speaker 4: juvenile court judge said Brian Thomas, going to the library
- 1:50:57Speaker 4: she wants to give out library cards doesn't work. That's
- 1:51:01Speaker 4: the mindset, right. This is a policing issue, and you've
- 1:51:05Speaker 4: got to get a hold of that very small percentage
- 1:51:07Speaker 4: of people and show them you're the boss. We're running
- 1:51:11Speaker 4: the show, and make sure those judges when we arrest them,
- 1:51:14Speaker 4: are giving them good bonds, strong bonds, and when they
- 1:51:18Speaker 4: are convicted with having a gun, using a gun, committing
- 1:51:21Speaker 4: a crime with a gun, that we really hold them accountable.
- 1:51:25Speaker 4: That's the way you resolve it, because then the young
- 1:51:27Speaker 4: people will be like, ooh, man, my buddy got twenty years.
- 1:51:30Speaker 4: I don't want to do that. Ooh my buddy got
- 1:51:31Speaker 4: nine years. Ooh, I don't want to do Oh my
- 1:51:33Speaker 4: my guy got thirty years. Oh he got life. He
- 1:51:36Speaker 4: got life in prison for taking the life of another
- 1:51:39Speaker 4: African American mail. That's how you say black lives matter, right,
- 1:51:43Speaker 4: You send the message that that life mattered by holding
- 1:51:47Speaker 4: that person accountable, not by letting them out. You know,
- 1:51:49Speaker 4: twenty four hours later on a Friday, they use a gun.
- 1:51:52Speaker 4: On Monday, they're back on the street. And by the way,
- 1:51:55Speaker 4: what do you think that does, Brian Thomas to the neighborhood.
- 1:51:58Speaker 4: The neighborhood sees the guy that they know shot somebody
- 1:52:01Speaker 4: back on the street on Monday. Do you think they're
- 1:52:04Speaker 4: going to testify? No, because they know that they're going
- 1:52:07Speaker 4: to probably end up the way the person that got
- 1:52:09Speaker 4: shot on Friday, that was arrested. So they go, man,
- 1:52:13Speaker 4: I don't want to get involved because the court system
- 1:52:15Speaker 4: continues to fail, specifically in Cincinnati Black Americans down. The
- 1:52:20Speaker 4: last point I want to make on a positive note,
- 1:52:23Speaker 4: USA is playing Belgium. I am not a sports person,
- 1:52:26Speaker 4: as you know, that's not it. But this is a
- 1:52:28Speaker 4: patriotic moment where the United States are soccer teams which
- 1:52:32Speaker 4: my kids played soccer, save soccer wasn't the top soccer so,
- 1:52:35Speaker 4: but we had them in soccer, keeping them active. You're
- 1:52:38Speaker 4: seeing now the birth now of soccer, which is, by
- 1:52:41Speaker 4: the way, football is a world sport. United States is
- 1:52:44Speaker 4: still young in playing soccer. We're still very young in
- 1:52:47Speaker 4: joining this global sport called soccer, which is really called football.
- 1:52:52Speaker 4: Right what we call NFL football is not what the
- 1:52:55Speaker 4: world calls football. But I'm saying the United States USA
- 1:52:59Speaker 4: is playing Belli and it's a really big deal. I
- 1:53:01Speaker 4: got a son who's all in it. He's wrapped up
- 1:53:03Speaker 4: and he's so excited about it. And I said, hey,
- 1:53:05Speaker 4: I promised him I would mention the United States is
- 1:53:08Speaker 4: playing Belgium. Hey, guys, we should watch it in a
- 1:53:11Speaker 4: very patriotic way. And the reason I also raised this
- 1:53:14Speaker 4: is I saw somebody out of New York, a socialist
- 1:53:17Speaker 4: say they were rooting for another team like they were.
- 1:53:19Speaker 4: I don't know what team it was, but they were asked,
- 1:53:21Speaker 4: are you you're a United States citizen? Are you're running
- 1:53:24Speaker 4: You're just run, You're a primary or whatever? Who are
- 1:53:26Speaker 4: you rooting for? It was not the United States I'm
- 1:53:29Speaker 4: saying it is. It is patriotic for us to get
- 1:53:32Speaker 4: behind these young people that are that are being farmed
- 1:53:36Speaker 4: and I say farmed me. They're coming through these soccer
- 1:53:38Speaker 4: programs and now can play for FCC, or now can
- 1:53:41Speaker 4: make it to the Olympics and or now can play
- 1:53:44Speaker 4: on these teams on the global sport whether whether where
- 1:53:47Speaker 4: they could be playing on the United States team against Belgium,
- 1:53:51Speaker 4: and couldn't they if they win, right to that, I
- 1:53:53Speaker 4: think it's the Elite eight, and I don't think they've
- 1:53:56Speaker 4: ever gone this far. I think this is the furthest
- 1:53:58Speaker 4: day've gone, I believe, but I know what they win tonight,
- 1:54:02Speaker 4: that this will be the furthest day of gone, meaning
- 1:54:05Speaker 4: into the Elite eight. But anyway, thank you so much
- 1:54:07Speaker 4: for allowing me to mention all of that. If people
- 1:54:11Speaker 4: want to follow me, brother, they can follow me on
- 1:54:13Speaker 4: social media at votesmithem and find somebody out there. There's
- 1:54:17Speaker 4: now seventy people out there or so with petitions collecting senators.
- 1:54:21Speaker 4: As somebody approaches you, remember, Brian, signing a petition doesn't
- 1:54:25Speaker 4: mean you agree with the issue. It means you're a Democrat.
- 1:54:28Speaker 4: I mean you believe in the democratic process. Give us
- 1:54:31Speaker 4: a chance to leave as a Republican and give us
- 1:54:34Speaker 4: a chance to vote on it.
- 1:54:35Speaker 1: It's a great idea, Christopher, Thanks my friend, look forward

- 1:56:20Speaker 1: something like that.
- 1:56:21Speaker 10: Yeah, you pretty much nailed it.
- 1:56:22Speaker 11: So we've had just a lot of We got kids
- 1:56:25Speaker 11: graduating from college and moving into other apartments and out
- 1:56:27Speaker 11: of apartments, all of that stuff. So we've been busy
- 1:56:29Speaker 11: for a last month. But this past weekend, yeah, we
- 1:56:32Speaker 11: literally sat on the driveway with neighbors and watched probably
- 1:56:35Speaker 11: illegal fireworks.
- 1:56:36Speaker 10: From the next call to sack Over and it was
- 1:56:37Speaker 10: a wonderful.
- 1:56:38Speaker 1: Week I think class Caesar told you have the same. Yeah,
- 1:56:41Speaker 1: we did. We definitely did. Went down to Rosie's with
- 1:56:43Speaker 1: my neighbor who's got some really young kids, which were great.
- 1:56:46Speaker 1: It's like Christmas when you got young kids around and
- 1:56:49Speaker 1: you got sparklers or fireworks or even the little ones,
- 1:56:52Speaker 1: kind of the really fairly innocuous ones, they just get
- 1:56:55Speaker 1: the biggest kick out of it. And that was kind
- 1:56:57Speaker 1: of special for me because it's been a long time.
- 1:56:59Speaker 1: We're hoping for grand kids some point, but you know,
- 1:57:01Speaker 1: it's been a long time since we were around little
- 1:57:03Speaker 1: kids and joined some fireworks that made it extra special.
- 1:57:05Speaker 1: But yeah, we had it really good.
- 1:57:06Speaker 10: Yeah, does bring back memory.
- 1:57:08Speaker 11: I wonder when we're going to start seeing drone shows
- 1:57:11Speaker 11: in called ess as.
- 1:57:12Speaker 1: Oh my god, those things are crazy. Let me just interject.
- 1:57:16Speaker 1: I was watching the some of the drone show from
- 1:57:19Speaker 1: the big celebration in DC. But also I've seen other
- 1:57:22Speaker 1: massive drone shows and this coordinated drone flights and when
- 1:57:26Speaker 1: you just it doesn't take a moment's time. Just take
- 1:57:29Speaker 1: that what your visual is of this giant eagle flying
- 1:57:32Speaker 1: with thousands of thousands of coordinated drones, and then put
- 1:57:35Speaker 1: that into a military application. It gets really frightening when
- 1:57:39Speaker 1: you start thinking about it.
- 1:57:41Speaker 11: Exactly right, this is just the tip of the icebergo,
- 1:57:43Speaker 11: what's coming with all this stuff? But yeah, impressive to
- 1:57:46Speaker 11: watch over the Independence Day weekend.
- 1:57:48Speaker 10: But yeah, it makes you think.
- 1:57:49Speaker 1: It really does anyhow. Pivoting away from that over to
- 1:57:52Speaker 1: why business owners have tax planning opportunities that w two
- 1:57:55Speaker 1: employees simply don't. What's this all about? My friend?
- 1:58:00Speaker 11: Absolutely so in this country, And I'll go back over
- 1:58:04Speaker 11: the past several elections and I'm going back, you know,
- 1:58:07Speaker 11: generations worth of elections here. One of the drum beats
- 1:58:10Speaker 11: I think that people don't quite understand. We we hear
- 1:58:12Speaker 11: our potential elected officials during their campaigns. One of the
- 1:58:16Speaker 11: frequent drum beats is that the small business is the
- 1:58:19Speaker 11: backbone of the United States, and it absolutely is. That's
- 1:58:21Speaker 11: where it all comes from from. From the very beginning,
- 1:58:25Speaker 11: we were founded as one of the best place on
- 1:58:27Speaker 11: the face of the earth to build your own opportunity
- 1:58:30Speaker 11: and make something for yourself and carve out your own
- 1:58:33Speaker 11: your corner of the world. And that's been true since
- 1:58:35Speaker 11: day one, and that's gotten us to.
- 1:58:36Speaker 10: Where we are today.
- 1:58:37Speaker 11: What that has translated to is tax planning opportunities, because
- 1:58:41Speaker 11: that's what we elect, right We elect people who tell
- 1:58:43Speaker 11: us that small business is the backbone of the country.
- 1:58:46Speaker 11: But most of our citizens are not small business owners
- 1:58:49Speaker 11: and have no interest in being small business owners.
- 1:58:52Speaker 10: So, for example, would me too, you're talking to me too.
- 1:58:55Speaker 11: I've got I've got a couple of little small things,
- 1:58:56Speaker 11: but I'm mainly a W two employee.
- 1:58:58Speaker 1: That's my job, always have But exactly right.
- 1:59:02Speaker 10: And that's so. Think of it this way.
- 1:59:04Speaker 11: If we really wanted to get the masses to be
- 1:59:08Speaker 11: super excited about voting and to vote for a certain candidate,
- 1:59:11Speaker 11: then we would be campaigning on reducing the ordinary income
- 1:59:15Speaker 11: marginal tax brackets. Nobody ever campaigns on that because we
- 1:59:19Speaker 11: got to pay the bills somehow. But when we're talking
- 1:59:21Speaker 11: about business owners, right, when we're saying that small businesses
- 1:59:24Speaker 11: at the back one of the country, we're talking about
- 1:59:26Speaker 11: a bunch of acronyms and types of things that your
- 1:59:29Speaker 11: average person has never heard of. For example, I'll throw
- 1:59:32Speaker 11: one out there, qualified business income or QBI. That's Section
- 1:59:35Speaker 11: one ninety nine A of the tax code. For those
- 1:59:37Speaker 11: of you scoring at home. What it really means is
- 1:59:39Speaker 11: if you're a sole proper an LLC, partnership s corporation
- 1:59:44Speaker 11: in certain businesses. Right, you can't be a lawyer, accountant,
- 1:59:47Speaker 11: a financial advisor I couldn't do this, or an athlete
- 1:59:49Speaker 11: this doesn't count.
- 1:59:50Speaker 10: But if you own a factory or something like that,
- 1:59:52Speaker 10: and you generate.
- 1:59:55Speaker 11: Qualified business income, then you can fold twenty percent back
- 1:59:58Speaker 11: of it as a straight deduction. In other words, if
- 2:00:01Speaker 11: your factory generates a million dollars in net profit, then
- 2:00:06Speaker 11: you can take twenty percent of that right off as
- 2:00:08Speaker 11: a deduction, no questions asked.
- 2:00:09Speaker 1: That's just how it worked.
- 2:00:10Speaker 11: Your average W two employee does not have the chance
- 2:00:13Speaker 11: to take to say, hey, I made one hundred thousand
- 2:00:15Speaker 11: dollars cool, twenty thousand of it right back in your
- 2:00:17Speaker 11: pocket for no reason otherwise does that make sense?
- 2:00:19Speaker 10: These are the things we don't hear about.
- 2:00:21Speaker 1: The standardized exemption. That kind of is in the same realm, though,
- 2:00:25Speaker 1: isn't it?
- 2:00:26Speaker 11: Yes and no, because remember how that came to be.
- 2:00:28Speaker 11: We doubled the standard exemption, but we also took away
- 2:00:32Speaker 11: things that most people already benefit fitted from because now
- 2:00:35Speaker 11: you can't deduct mortgage interest the way you used to
- 2:00:38Speaker 11: be able to charitable deductions. Unless you are donating a
- 2:00:42Speaker 11: lot more than that standard exemption, you're not going to
- 2:00:44Speaker 11: be able to duct those either. So in one sense,
- 2:00:47Speaker 11: it made it easier you don't have to do as
- 2:00:49Speaker 11: many things to gain that deduction, but you did not
- 2:00:51Speaker 11: get a new deduction versus SMIE. I'm not picking on
- 2:00:55Speaker 11: small business owners, right, This is this is why you
- 2:00:57Speaker 11: take the risks.
- 2:00:58Speaker 10: That's not the point.
- 2:00:59Speaker 11: I want to make sure people understand the structure that
- 2:01:02Speaker 11: we've built over two hundred and fifty years.
- 2:01:03Speaker 1: Okay, but they just picked that twenty percent. Figure out
- 2:01:06Speaker 1: of thin air, and is it related to anything. I mean,
- 2:01:08Speaker 1: most of the things seem to be arbitrary when when
- 2:01:10Speaker 1: it comes from government anyway, Like okay, how about twenty percent, no,
- 2:01:13Speaker 1: twenty five? No, how about fifteen?
- 2:01:16Speaker 11: Well, I'm sure there are actuaries who came up with
- 2:01:18Speaker 11: the right dollar now, but again, the whole thing, if
- 2:01:20Speaker 11: it was a five percent deduction, there would be a
- 2:01:22Speaker 11: lot less interest in, you know, somebody setting up a
- 2:01:25Speaker 11: small business and taking the risks and the debt and
- 2:01:27Speaker 11: all that other stuff. It's got to be at least
- 2:01:30Speaker 11: a double digit number, you know, in a twenty percent deduction. Again,
- 2:01:34Speaker 11: it's just you don't have to do anything extra for it.
- 2:01:36Speaker 11: You are just a certain type of business that generated income.
- 2:01:39Speaker 11: Therefore you get to fold twenty percent back and take
- 2:01:41Speaker 11: a deduction, which is a fantastic opportunity for a small
- 2:01:43Speaker 11: business owner. If you are one and you don't know
- 2:01:46Speaker 11: what I'm talking about, call your CPA. Make sure they're
- 2:01:50Speaker 11: tracking it. They probably are.
- 2:01:51Speaker 10: But these are things definitely things to pay attention to.
- 2:01:53Speaker 1: Well, I mean that that was going to be my
- 2:01:55Speaker 1: next question, is is this the only one of these
- 2:01:57Speaker 1: I've never heard of kind of things this small business
- 2:02:00Speaker 1: Small business owners can benefit from that they might not
- 2:02:02Speaker 1: know about, which is the great reason why you might
- 2:02:04Speaker 1: want to hire an outside the accountant. So make sure
- 2:02:08Speaker 1: you can take advantage of all these, oh.
- 2:02:10Speaker 10: Of course.
- 2:02:11Speaker 11: And the next, probably the biggest one that people don't
- 2:02:13Speaker 11: know about, is something called qualified small business stock.
- 2:02:17Speaker 10: That's section twelve oh two of the code.
- 2:02:19Speaker 11: Not that anybody cares about the codes, but that sometimes
- 2:02:22Speaker 11: that's what it's referred to, a section twelve o two deduction,
- 2:02:24Speaker 11: which is not really what it is.
- 2:02:25Speaker 4: But that's what people call it.
- 2:02:26Speaker 11: Is if you happen to own stock in a domestic
- 2:02:29Speaker 11: CEA corporation, right, this is not public created stock. This
- 2:02:31Speaker 11: is privately held types of things, and you have to
- 2:02:34Speaker 11: set this up from the beginning. But if you own
- 2:02:38Speaker 11: this and you build it into something you remember a
- 2:02:40Speaker 11: C corporation, that is, you know, a factory, something industrial,
- 2:02:43Speaker 11: something like that is going to create jobs.
- 2:02:46Speaker 10: That's what our leadership is after, of course.
- 2:02:49Speaker 11: But the whole point of this is if you sell
- 2:02:51Speaker 11: it qualifying business years later, you can exclude millions of
- 2:02:54Speaker 11: dollars of value out of those capital gains. You don't
- 2:02:57Speaker 11: have to pay capital gains taxes on one of those,
- 2:02:59Speaker 11: but the entity selection it has to be a sea
- 2:03:01Speaker 11: corp that matters from day one. So if you're somebody
- 2:03:04Speaker 11: who's kicking around the idea of setting up a company,
- 2:03:07Speaker 11: sea corps come with pros and cons, But one of
- 2:03:09Speaker 11: the big ones is you could qualify for Section twelve
- 2:03:11Speaker 11: oh two, and then when you sell it years down
- 2:03:14Speaker 11: the line, at least five years, if you keep it
- 2:03:17Speaker 11: up and running, you might be up to one hundred
- 2:03:19Speaker 11: percent of exclusion on eligible gains. Shorter than that, you'll
- 2:03:21Speaker 11: get kind of a pro rated one, but it's got
- 2:03:23Speaker 11: to be the right situation. But the whole point is
- 2:03:25Speaker 11: zero percent capital gains if the planets line up for.
- 2:03:27Speaker 4: You, all right.
- 2:03:28Speaker 1: It's also an important point to get somebody who knows
- 2:03:30Speaker 1: all these rules and regulations for small businesses, because sorry,
- 2:03:33Speaker 1: you're already out of my realm of understanding there, Brian James,
- 2:03:36Speaker 1: it's again, lifelong W two employee. These issues have not
- 2:03:40Speaker 1: crossed my desk. But small businesses often operate as passed
- 2:03:44Speaker 1: through entities, and this came up in the context of
- 2:03:46Speaker 1: Bernie Moreno's idea about fixing Social Security getting rid of
- 2:03:50Speaker 1: the cap of roughly one hundred and eighty eighty five
- 2:03:53Speaker 1: thousand dollars, which it was reported widely. Americans for Prosperity
- 2:03:57Speaker 1: was on my show talking about how it would impact
- 2:03:59Speaker 1: small busines. This is in not in a positive way,
- 2:04:01Speaker 1: so that that that's something that might be a problem.
- 2:04:04Speaker 1: Your reaction to that, Brian, I'll want to catch you
- 2:04:05Speaker 1: off guard. But no, not at all.
- 2:04:08Speaker 11: And I see both sides of this, because yes, s
- 2:04:12Speaker 11: corporations are passed throughs, but so's a W two employee.
- 2:04:14Speaker 11: My income passes through my employer, and I pay taxes
- 2:04:16Speaker 11: on it when I receive it. Everything's passed through. It
- 2:04:19Speaker 11: have passed through simply means that a corporation doesn't pay
- 2:04:22Speaker 11: tax and escorp does not pay taxes. All the income
- 2:04:25Speaker 11: is passed through to the shareholders and they are the
- 2:04:28Speaker 11: ones who pay taxes on their personal brackets. So there
- 2:04:32Speaker 11: are there are pros and cons to that, right, So
- 2:04:33Speaker 11: somebody who owns an.
- 2:04:34Speaker 10: Escorp is saying, yeah, cool.
- 2:04:35Speaker 11: And I also have to pay twice the payroll taxes
- 2:04:39Speaker 11: because I got to pay my own half because I'm
- 2:04:40Speaker 11: self employed. So I see both sides of it. At
- 2:04:44Speaker 11: the end of the day, someone's going to have to
- 2:04:46Speaker 11: make a sacrifice. It you know, arguably should be a
- 2:04:50Speaker 11: little bit of everybody maybe to make this ship float otherwise,
- 2:04:54Speaker 11: so security isn't going to you know, it's not going
- 2:04:56Speaker 11: to exist in its current format. Again, not to say
- 2:04:58Speaker 11: on the alarm bells, because as NAFF currently says, it's
- 2:05:01Speaker 11: going to drop by about twenty to twenty five percent.
- 2:05:03Speaker 10: That's it if we don't do anything.
- 2:05:05Speaker 11: So in terms of what do I think about what
- 2:05:07Speaker 11: Marino said, Yeah, I think there's a definite impact there.
- 2:05:10Speaker 11: But all that can be hashed out in terms of
- 2:05:12Speaker 11: this is why our tax tote is so big by
- 2:05:14Speaker 11: the way, right we start carving out who actually is
- 2:05:16Speaker 11: exposed to it and who actually is And I think
- 2:05:18Speaker 11: it's a fair argument to say that if I'm an escorp,
- 2:05:21Speaker 11: that I'm already paying both sides of my fight attacks
- 2:05:24Speaker 11: as the employer and the employee.
- 2:05:25Speaker 10: I think it's a fair argument to make. We'll see
- 2:05:27Speaker 10: where it comes out.
- 2:05:28Speaker 1: We definitely will. And I give him pross for release
- 2:05:30Speaker 1: starting to talk about the idea of reform. We might
- 2:05:34Speaker 1: hate his idea, but we need to get that conversation
- 2:05:37Speaker 1: going so we can help folks in the long term.
- 2:05:38Speaker 1: More with Brian James, don't forget.
- 2:05:40Speaker 10: Who his partner was in that a little bit more.
- 2:05:44Speaker 10: They're not drinking, buddy.
- 2:05:45Speaker 1: He wasn't springing off a real positive notes from that point,
- 2:05:49Speaker 1: But I said, the bipartisan reality of that suggestion says
- 2:05:52Speaker 1: that both sides at least have some interest in trying
- 2:05:55Speaker 1: to start the conversation which needs to start. So might
- 2:05:59Speaker 1: not like it, but it is what it is, and
- 2:06:01Speaker 1: we do need to talk about it more. With Brian
- 2:06:03Speaker 1: James Mooreworth Financier, we're we're talking about, well, the reasons
- 2:06:06Speaker 1: you should claim social security at seventy five specific reasons.
- 2:06:09Speaker 1: It's take seventeen right now. If you have Curcy the

- 2:07:21Speaker 1: About KRCD talk station and Brian Thomins with Money, mondays
- 2:07:24Speaker 1: Brian James or with financial he's a financial planner, so
- 2:07:27Speaker 1: you need one of those. He proves that all the time.
- 2:07:29Speaker 1: It's a great thing to do. Take the weight off
- 2:07:31Speaker 1: of you and having to deal about your future and
- 2:07:33Speaker 1: have a guy like you know, like a certified public
- 2:07:35Speaker 1: account does for small businesses. You know you got a
- 2:07:37Speaker 1: public got a financial planner doing it for you anyway,
- 2:07:40Speaker 1: Brian James, why is it a good idea to claim
- 2:07:42Speaker 1: Social Security at seventy I got my my SOCIS security
- 2:07:45Speaker 1: print out just like two days ago, and you know
- 2:07:49Speaker 1: you get to see your earnings history and then what
- 2:07:51Speaker 1: you're supposed to get if all things work out well,
- 2:07:54Speaker 1: although there is a caveat on there saying don't count
- 2:07:56Speaker 1: on it. It's not guaranteed, but there's a sizeable increase
- 2:08:00Speaker 1: if I wait till seventy then if I started taking
- 2:08:02Speaker 1: Social Security at sixty five. So why do we want
- 2:08:05Speaker 1: to wait? Brian?
- 2:08:07Speaker 11: Well, I'm going to throw a little bit of a
- 2:08:08Speaker 11: curveball at you. So when I sent you that article,
- 2:08:11Speaker 11: what I wanted to talk about is the pros and
- 2:08:12Speaker 11: cons of either of going early versus letter, because there
- 2:08:16Speaker 11: are reasons to do it in either direction. But people
- 2:08:18Speaker 11: are just bombarded with articles just like this one that
- 2:08:20Speaker 11: say here's the black and white answer for everybody. And
- 2:08:23Speaker 11: again we've talked about this before, but there's a TikTok
- 2:08:25Speaker 11: video out there flying around. I get it sent to
- 2:08:28Speaker 11: me about once every few weeks or so of somebody saying,
- 2:08:32Speaker 11: some dude walking around the woods talking about how everybody
- 2:08:34Speaker 11: should file at sixty two. It's just that simple, right,
- 2:08:37Speaker 11: there's no questions at all. Look it to your point,
- 2:08:41Speaker 11: it's like half though, I mean, yeah, it's literally yeah,
- 2:08:46Speaker 11: that's what I was. Let's go through some numbers here.
- 2:08:48Speaker 11: So for example, if my full retirement age benefit. By
- 2:08:52Speaker 11: the way, for all intents and purposes, I think we
- 2:08:55Speaker 11: can consider sixty seven full retirement age. That's what most
- 2:08:58Speaker 11: people who are thinking about this are subject to. You
- 2:09:02Speaker 11: could be it could be sixty six and six months,
- 2:09:04Speaker 11: seven months, or whatever, based on whenever you're whenever you
- 2:09:06Speaker 11: were born. But let's just assume for now a sixty
- 2:09:09Speaker 11: seven full retirement age. And so if if that benefit
- 2:09:13Speaker 11: that for this fake sixty seven year old person is
- 2:09:15Speaker 11: their benefit at sixty seven is twenty five hundred dollars
- 2:09:18Speaker 11: a month, well, then if they choose to file at
- 2:09:20Speaker 11: sixty two, that's going to drop by by about seven
- 2:09:23Speaker 11: hundred and fifty dollars down to seventeen to fifty. If
- 2:09:25Speaker 11: they wait till seventy, then it goes up to thirty
- 2:09:28Speaker 11: one hundred. You know, if your benefit is higher than that, Right,
- 2:09:31Speaker 11: a four thousand dollars benefit might be closer to three
- 2:09:34Speaker 11: thousand dollars at each you know, sixty two, it could
- 2:09:37Speaker 11: be closer to five thousand by age seventy. So that's
- 2:09:41Speaker 11: almost seventy five percent more every single month if you
- 2:09:44Speaker 11: wait that long. That seems like people will and people
- 2:09:47Speaker 11: look at that when they're in their fifties thinking about
- 2:09:49Speaker 11: how long they're going to work, and they'll say, well,
- 2:09:51Speaker 11: I need as much money as possible, so I'm just
- 2:09:52Speaker 11: going to wait until seventy. But talk to somebody who
- 2:09:55Speaker 11: is in there, you know, maybe a sixty four to
- 2:09:57Speaker 11: sixty five years old, and they have a different percent
- 2:10:00Speaker 11: respective on life.
- 2:10:00Speaker 10: You start to reach that age, you start.
- 2:10:02Speaker 11: To see, you know, maybe you're doing okay health wise,
- 2:10:05Speaker 11: but maybe some loved ones, some friends are starting to
- 2:10:06Speaker 11: have issues. It just changes your perspective and it makes
- 2:10:10Speaker 11: you think a little differently about how and when you
- 2:10:12Speaker 11: might file for Social Security.
- 2:10:14Speaker 1: Well, yes, but also I think that kind of acts
- 2:10:16Speaker 1: as a bit of an incentive to save a little
- 2:10:18Speaker 1: bit more while you're working, so you can afford to
- 2:10:20Speaker 1: kick Social Security off until seventy when you're getting more money.
- 2:10:24Speaker 11: It does it absolutely does. Indeed, and what you're talking
- 2:10:26Speaker 11: about there is controlling the timing. If you are in
- 2:10:29Speaker 11: a strong financial situation, you get to control the timing.
- 2:10:32Speaker 11: That means that your Social Security filing decision, the timing
- 2:10:35Speaker 11: of that is a different decision from the timing of
- 2:10:38Speaker 11: you telling your boss that you're not coming in to marrow. Right,
- 2:10:41Speaker 11: if you can survive, if you've built enough of a
- 2:10:43Speaker 11: nest egg that it can generate income, now you have
- 2:10:46Speaker 11: a choice. You can look at the optimum path here.
- 2:10:48Speaker 11: You could look at it, and it's not simple math.
- 2:10:50Speaker 4: Either.
- 2:10:51Speaker 11: You can look and say, all right, my nest egg
- 2:10:53Speaker 11: can cover this much. That means I can push social
- 2:10:55Speaker 11: Security out another year or two, or at least not
- 2:10:58Speaker 11: think about it right now, push the decision out. But
- 2:11:00Speaker 11: on the other hand, if your nest egg is invested
- 2:11:01Speaker 11: in the stock market, stock market is not cooperating that year.
- 2:11:05Speaker 10: Which happened to.
- 2:11:05Speaker 11: Anybody who did this in twenty twenty one, because we
- 2:11:08Speaker 11: immediately took a hit in twenty two. Those folks who
- 2:11:11Speaker 11: are relying on that nest egg, some of them opted
- 2:11:13Speaker 11: to say, you know what, I don't want to touch
- 2:11:15Speaker 11: my nest egg. I'm going to go ahead and turn
- 2:11:17Speaker 11: on my social securities pigot and make that sacrifice so
- 2:11:20Speaker 11: that my nest egg can recover. That's why it's not
- 2:11:22Speaker 11: a black and white decision. It very much has to
- 2:11:24Speaker 11: be a game time decision. What's going on in your situation,
- 2:11:27Speaker 11: the things that you control, and then what's going on
- 2:11:30Speaker 11: and in the world that you cannot control. All of
- 2:11:32Speaker 11: that that there's going to be some story behind that.
- 2:11:34Speaker 11: At the time you're thinking about retiring. That's what should
- 2:11:37Speaker 11: drive the decision, not a flow chart on a website.
- 2:11:39Speaker 1: Well, and in the edge, I recognize I'm over time
- 2:11:41Speaker 1: in this segment a little bit. I got to ask
- 2:11:42Speaker 1: you this since we're on the topic. I noted one
- 2:11:44Speaker 1: of the points is if you work until seventy, of course,
- 2:11:48Speaker 1: there's that caveat there, and the more people are working
- 2:11:51Speaker 1: into their seventies. If you are literally working a full
- 2:11:54Speaker 1: time job in here, do you have to start taking
- 2:11:56Speaker 1: Social Security nonetheless or does that still get kicked off
- 2:11:59Speaker 1: even for or beyond seventy.
- 2:12:02Speaker 10: No, there's no benefit to waiting, so there's no harm.
- 2:12:05Speaker 11: Once you've reached full retirement age, you no longer have
- 2:12:08Speaker 11: to worry about something called the earnings test. Prior to that,
- 2:12:11Speaker 11: from sixty two to sixty six sixty seven, you have
- 2:12:14Speaker 11: to do some math to make sure that you're whatever
- 2:12:16Speaker 11: you're earning is not over and above the limits. Otherwise
- 2:12:19Speaker 11: your Social Security payments will be reduced. You'll get paid
- 2:12:22Speaker 11: back in the future, but it's an unnecessary pain in
- 2:12:24Speaker 11: the rear end. From full retirement age on, you no
- 2:12:27Speaker 11: longer have to worry about that test. But the next age,
- 2:12:30Speaker 11: like you just said, is seventy There is no benefit
- 2:12:32Speaker 11: to waiting beyond seventy. If you wait till seventy two
- 2:12:34Speaker 11: to file, then you missed out on two years worth
- 2:12:36Speaker 11: of income in exchange for no growth in it at all.
- 2:12:39Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, somebody out there got some good
- 2:12:41Speaker 1: advice on that point. Pause. Speaking of good advice, we're
- 2:12:44Speaker 1: going to get more coming up, talking about the pros
- 2:12:46Speaker 1: and cons of the one thousand dollars baby bonus and
- 2:12:49Speaker 1: the Trump accounts. One more with all Worth Financials. Brian
- 2:12:52Speaker 1: James for money money It take twenty seven right now
- 2:12:53Speaker 1: if you have KCD talk station. Speaking of money matters,
- 2:12:57Speaker 1: automobile repairs are indeed a money matter. They have gotten
- 2:13:00Speaker 1: really expensive. I know I'm stay in the avias but
- 2:13:02Speaker 1: like all things inflationary and parts shortages, it's not a
- 2:13:06Speaker 1: cheap proposition to get cars fixed. But you know what
- 2:13:09Speaker 1: you can do? Take your car to Foreign Exchange Westchester
- 2:13:12Speaker 1: location where you will be treated wonderfully, where you will
- 2:13:16Speaker 1: have an ASC certified Master technician working on your car
- 2:13:19Speaker 1: with your manufacturer's technical information. Whether your car is traditionally
- 2:13:22Speaker 1: imported from Asia or Europe or it's a tesla, They're
- 2:13:25Speaker 1: going to work on it and you're going to have
- 2:13:27Speaker 1: more money when you leave compared to when you take
- 2:13:29Speaker 1: it to the dealer. Save money by going to Foreign Exchange.
- 2:13:32Speaker 1: All the other components are going to Foreign Exchange are
- 2:13:34Speaker 1: good at least is good, if not better than a dealer.
- 2:13:37Speaker 1: So why go to the deal and pay those outrageous
- 2:13:39Speaker 1: rates when you get the wonderful folks at Foreign Exchange
- 2:13:41Speaker 1: west Chester doing it for less. Where is it? Tyler's
- 2:13:44Speaker 1: been like it? Off of I seventy five, go east
- 2:13:47Speaker 1: on Tylersville and you just take a ride on kinglind Drive,
- 2:13:50Speaker 1: which is the street just two streets from the exchange,
- 2:13:53Speaker 1: right before the cane's chicken sign. Pull in tell them,
- 2:13:55Speaker 1: Brian Saidhi, When you pull your car in after making
- 2:13:57Speaker 1: an appointment and I recommend you do. You'll be glad

- 2:14:44Speaker 1: Thirty three fig about KRCD talk station. Happy Monday. Money
- 2:14:47Speaker 1: might do with Brian James wrapping up about well the
- 2:14:50Speaker 1: pros and cons of the one thousand dollars baby bonus.
- 2:14:53Speaker 1: Brian James, I putting money away for your kids education
- 2:14:56Speaker 1: early and with compounding interest. I think it's a great idea.
- 2:14:58Speaker 1: And if you crunch the numbers, pretty reasonable. Small contribution
- 2:15:02Speaker 1: on a monthly basis into your child's education account or
- 2:15:05Speaker 1: any account to put them in the market really pays
- 2:15:08Speaker 1: off in the long term. But let's start with this
- 2:15:10Speaker 1: one thousand dollars thing. Because the article you sent me
- 2:15:12Speaker 1: from last year is before the Big Beautiful Bill got passed.
- 2:15:16Speaker 1: So what ultimately was in the Big Beautiful Bill along
- 2:15:18Speaker 1: these lines.
- 2:15:19Speaker 11: Yeah, So the new law that's out there regarding these
- 2:15:22Speaker 11: new Trump accounts is and there's a lot of confusion around.
- 2:15:26Speaker 1: Of course, he's a brand new right.
- 2:15:27Speaker 11: They just just went live because they were tied to
- 2:15:30Speaker 11: the fourth of July, so we're just now learning about
- 2:15:32Speaker 11: these things. But they're basically accounts where you can put
- 2:15:35Speaker 11: money away. It's invested in a low cost US stock
- 2:15:38Speaker 11: index fund. The whole point is to encourage long term
- 2:15:40Speaker 11: investing in wealth creation. One of the the points of
- 2:15:44Speaker 11: confusion is that these are only going to exist for
- 2:15:46Speaker 11: four years. It happens to coincide a little bit with
- 2:15:50Speaker 11: President Trump's current term. The dates are not perfect, but
- 2:15:53Speaker 11: close January one of twenty twenty five through December thirty
- 2:15:56Speaker 11: first of twenty twenty eight. But that's not how long
- 2:15:59Speaker 11: these accounts are going to be a failable to open.
- 2:16:01Speaker 11: That's how long you'll get a thousand dollars government funded
- 2:16:04Speaker 11: investment account for any baby who was born in that timeframe.
- 2:16:08Speaker 10: They will still exist, you'll still be able to open.
- 2:16:11Speaker 11: Them after that, but there will be no more thousand
- 2:16:13Speaker 11: dollars bonus. So the big thing is that, And of course, parents, relatives,
- 2:16:18Speaker 11: employers even can add money to this annually and they
- 2:16:22Speaker 11: get invested. It can be an investment account like any other.
- 2:16:26Speaker 11: The money generally can't be touched until you hit adulthood
- 2:16:29Speaker 11: unless there's very specific situations. So the good thing about
- 2:16:33Speaker 11: it it gets kids invested right away. You know, you
- 2:16:36Speaker 11: can start to have those conversations when they're old enough
- 2:16:38Speaker 11: to start to understand the concept.
- 2:16:40Speaker 10: The bad thing.
- 2:16:41Speaker 11: The thing I don't like about them is that they
- 2:16:44Speaker 11: basically become the property of the eighteen year old at
- 2:16:48Speaker 11: that time.
- 2:16:49Speaker 10: I think it taxes income. I don't love that.
- 2:16:52Speaker 11: It's like an IRA when there's other alternatives. You know,
- 2:16:55Speaker 11: I'm not sure I wouldn't want to do this by
- 2:16:57Speaker 11: having a baby right now. I'd go all five twenty
- 2:16:59Speaker 11: nine twenty.
- 2:17:00Speaker 1: Nine nowive doesn't five twenty nine limit that money to
- 2:17:02Speaker 1: be used in college.
- 2:17:05Speaker 11: Great question that I was leading you to. No, kind
- 2:17:08Speaker 11: of sort of yeah, I mean that's what they're intended for.
- 2:17:10Speaker 11: Five twenty nine accounts can be invested the same way
- 2:17:13Speaker 11: we're still talking about. You set the investments aside. You
- 2:17:16Speaker 11: can invest as similarly in either of these things. Five
- 2:17:18Speaker 11: twenty nine's are primarily for college education, which isn't just college.
- 2:17:23Speaker 11: It's could be technical school, vocational school, anything that is
- 2:17:26Speaker 11: an accredited school, and I'll be honest, it's pretty tough
- 2:17:29Speaker 11: to find one that's not, but double check anyway. Capital
- 2:17:32Speaker 11: gains and income tax free for those expenses. Also stuff
- 2:17:35Speaker 11: like laptops and meal plans and all that other stuff. Now,
- 2:17:39Speaker 11: that's what's been in place since early two thousand, when
- 2:17:42Speaker 11: five twenty nine is first became a thing. The new
- 2:17:45Speaker 11: rule as of two years ago, though, Brian Thomas, is
- 2:17:48Speaker 11: that you are able to take if you have more
- 2:17:50Speaker 11: money than you need for college or vocational training or whatever,
- 2:17:53Speaker 11: you don't use it all, you are able to take
- 2:17:55Speaker 11: up to thirty five thousand dollars and use that as
- 2:17:58Speaker 11: a ROTH contribution for that same beneficiary in that year.
- 2:18:02Speaker 11: The account has to be opened for fifteen years. But
- 2:18:05Speaker 11: when I put this side by side with a Trump account,
- 2:18:08Speaker 11: what I look at is I have the ability to
- 2:18:10Speaker 11: set up a five twenty nine kid uses it for
- 2:18:12Speaker 11: school or maybe not, whatever, it can become a roth ira.
- 2:18:15Speaker 11: And now if I set this up at one, when
- 2:18:17Speaker 11: this kid's a newborn, this might grow literally tax free
- 2:18:19Speaker 11: for sixty years. That is an enormous amount of money.
- 2:18:22Speaker 11: And all I have to do is pay attention to
- 2:18:24Speaker 11: the five twenty nine to roth rules versus a Trump account,
- 2:18:26Speaker 11: where I lose control over it.
- 2:18:28Speaker 10: The kid has full control at eighteen. Yeah, pros and cons.
- 2:18:31Speaker 1: I mean, ay, but it's got an eighteen year old
- 2:18:34Speaker 1: if you think about it. And I did a little
- 2:18:35Speaker 1: mon a number scrunching here, so at least as I
- 2:18:38Speaker 1: understand it, because parents and others can also contribute money,
- 2:18:41Speaker 1: I think, is it up to five thousand dollars a
- 2:18:43Speaker 1: year into the Trump account? So you got ninety thousand
- 2:18:48Speaker 1: dollars over eighteen years just cash, that's before compounding interest.
- 2:18:53Speaker 1: And if you look at one of the figures that
- 2:18:54Speaker 1: was thrown out in the article, one thousand dollars could
- 2:18:57Speaker 1: grow to an average of eight thousand dollars over twenty years.
- 2:19:01Speaker 1: If the same math works on it, you're looking at
- 2:19:03Speaker 1: a huge amount of money, I mean a massive amount
- 2:19:07Speaker 1: of money just by people contributing that amount. So you think, well,
- 2:19:11Speaker 1: I can't make four hundred dollars a month, because few
- 2:19:14Speaker 1: four hundred dollars a month every month for twelve or
- 2:19:16Speaker 1: for twelve months, you're right out about five thousand dollars.
- 2:19:19Speaker 1: But if you get grandma and mom and dad maybe
- 2:19:21Speaker 1: also to throw a little bit in there, I mean,
- 2:19:23Speaker 1: that's that's a ton of money for a young person
- 2:19:27Speaker 1: half exactly.
- 2:19:28Speaker 10: And yeah, that's arguably too much because you.
- 2:19:31Speaker 11: Know they're not going to have the needs that would
- 2:19:34Speaker 11: you know that are going to require that right at
- 2:19:36Speaker 11: age eighteen.
- 2:19:37Speaker 10: So I have no problem with with some of it.
- 2:19:39Speaker 11: But if you've really got that much money that you're
- 2:19:40Speaker 11: going to have access to to put away, don't ignore
- 2:19:43Speaker 11: the five twenty nine slash rawth Ira plan.
- 2:19:46Speaker 4: Do a little bit of both.
- 2:19:46Speaker 11: The Trump account can benefit them younger in life. The
- 2:19:49Speaker 11: five twenty nine row thing will benefit them for the
- 2:19:51Speaker 11: rest of their lives.
- 2:19:52Speaker 1: Good point. And my only question though, is is there
- 2:19:55Speaker 1: some trust or something like the kids coming into let's
- 2:19:58Speaker 1: say four hundred thousand dollars because you fully load of
- 2:20:01Speaker 1: these trouble accounts and they got the compounding and everything.
- 2:20:03Speaker 1: You don't want an eighteen year old to run them up.
- 2:20:05Speaker 1: They're just going to spend it on a car and
- 2:20:06Speaker 1: a party or whatever. Is there any way you can
- 2:20:08Speaker 1: just put that into a trust to sort of prevent
- 2:20:10Speaker 1: them from having access to it individually.
- 2:20:14Speaker 11: No, that's one of the loopholes that's out there right
- 2:20:16Speaker 11: at the moment.
- 2:20:17Speaker 10: You lose control as the contributor.
- 2:20:20Speaker 11: You lose control when the that doesn't necessarily have to
- 2:20:22Speaker 11: come out and be taxed, but the grant or whoever
- 2:20:25Speaker 11: set this up does not have any control anymore at
- 2:20:27Speaker 11: age eighteen.
- 2:20:28Speaker 1: All right, Well, a parent that's got control over their
- 2:20:31Speaker 1: child even when they turn eighteen might want to talk
- 2:20:32Speaker 1: to them about common sense. Maybe you can get them
- 2:20:34Speaker 1: to assign their rights to that money over into an
- 2:20:38Speaker 1: arevoicable trust or something. They don't have to do it.
- 2:20:41Speaker 11: You know, eighteen years from now, you and I, if
- 2:20:44Speaker 11: we're still doing this, which we won't be, are gonna
- 2:20:46Speaker 11: have some really cool stories about how this money got
- 2:20:48Speaker 11: blown by people who were paying attention.
- 2:20:50Speaker 1: You're right, right, I'm not going to deny it. I
- 2:20:53Speaker 1: am not going to deny it. Of course, our wills
- 2:20:55Speaker 1: in the States and everything were set up to prevent
- 2:20:57Speaker 1: our children from getting it if we died before they
- 2:20:59Speaker 1: were emancipated and had a measure of common sense. That's
- 2:21:02Speaker 1: why you need help with financial planners and the like.

- 2:23:05Speaker 1: way you can get over to get the podcast like,
- 2:23:06Speaker 1: for example, my conversation with Christopher Smithaman this morning. Really
- 2:23:09Speaker 1: enjoy that as I always do, and Money Money's Brian
- 2:23:12Speaker 1: James conversation as well, plus the ones from last week
- 2:23:15Speaker 1: including Bernie Moreno on that sosi's security fix me and
- 2:23:18Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren came out with the idea of getting rid
- 2:23:20Speaker 1: of the cap and Donovan Neil for Americans for Prosperity
- 2:23:24Speaker 1: speaking to podcasts at fifty five krs dot iHeart dot com.
- 2:23:29Speaker 1: Donal O'Neil having to go on that AFP crunch and
- 2:23:31Speaker 1: numbers and found that overall probably would be a bad thing.
- 2:23:34Speaker 1: But again, we need to have a conversation about the
- 2:23:39Speaker 1: well the path that soca's security is on, which is
- 2:23:42Speaker 1: a perilous one. And I've been listening to concerns about
- 2:23:45Speaker 1: this reality for literally decades, and here's you had another
- 2:23:50Speaker 1: illustration where our politicians have failed us. So many people
- 2:23:54Speaker 1: are counting on that. You may very well be in
- 2:23:58Speaker 1: that position. If I don't get so security, I'm not
- 2:24:01Speaker 1: going to be able to live in my retirement or
- 2:24:02Speaker 1: I'm not going to be able to retire. This is
- 2:24:04Speaker 1: a promise that's been made by politicians since the FDR administration.
- 2:24:09Speaker 4: And what do they do?
- 2:24:11Speaker 1: They let you down. The biggest lifeline in retirement is
- 2:24:16Speaker 1: going to be socials security for so many people, and
- 2:24:18Speaker 1: yet they've let it get to this perilous point where
- 2:24:21Speaker 1: they're already telling you, you know what, maybe twenty percent less.
- 2:24:25Speaker 1: It's not going away, but it's going to be twenty
- 2:24:28Speaker 1: percent less, maybe a little bit more. And if the
- 2:24:31Speaker 1: think about getting rid of the social security cap and
- 2:24:34Speaker 1: effort to save it, what worries me is the forty
- 2:24:37Speaker 1: trillion and growing debt every year trillions. In addition, the
- 2:24:40Speaker 1: interest rate goes up. We have more and more money
- 2:24:42Speaker 1: each and every year, and with all of the socialists
- 2:24:45Speaker 1: getting elected in primaries and maybe running the country. That
- 2:24:49Speaker 1: one billion dollar annual tax on billionaires ain't going to
- 2:24:52Speaker 1: be billionaires, and in fact it already isn't. They've moved
- 2:24:55Speaker 1: that one down to fifty million, And someone read flagged
- 2:25:00Speaker 1: the concern I have had for years and years and years. Yeah,
- 2:25:07Speaker 1: it was a billion dollars and now it's fifty million dollars.
- 2:25:15Speaker 1: This ends with your four to oh one k, said
- 2:25:18Speaker 1: one man. Yes, the rapacious taxation the in I mean,
- 2:25:25Speaker 1: there's not enough money in the world to sustain things
- 2:25:28Speaker 1: at the measure we are at in terms of government spending.
- 2:25:30Speaker 1: That's why they spend trillions more than they take in
- 2:25:33Speaker 1: in spite of the fact they take in trillions and
- 2:25:34Speaker 1: trillions of tax payer dollars every year. It's just not enough.
- 2:25:38Speaker 1: It's never enough. And if you've been responsible and packed
- 2:25:41Speaker 1: all your money into a four oh one K, you're
- 2:25:42Speaker 1: gonna get tax when it comes out the other side.
- 2:25:45Speaker 1: What rate are they going to tax it at to
- 2:25:48Speaker 1: sustain this bloated, fraud filled program government we have here. Yeah,
- 2:25:56Speaker 1: that's a frightening thing, and it certainly doesn't reward being
- 2:26:00Speaker 1: frugal and saving over your life life now does it

- 2:28:32Speaker 1: Ali Kamani over the weekend there, so it's been on
- 2:28:36Speaker 1: ice for quite some time anyway. Anyway, this all Aria
- 2:28:39Speaker 1: Abnues organization reported the talks are expected to focus on
- 2:28:41Speaker 1: US sanctions, Iran's frozen financial assets, Teyran's nuclear program. The
- 2:28:46Speaker 1: question marks swirling about whether the Iranians are going to
- 2:28:49Speaker 1: be one to deal with their nuclear program, because they
- 2:28:51Speaker 1: keep saying they're not. Anyway, the outlet's cran has't yet
- 2:28:55Speaker 1: determined who will be leading the delegation, and that decision
- 2:28:57Speaker 1: is expected after their funeral services conclude this past weekend.
- 2:29:03Speaker 1: That meeting is going to fat meeting, it presumably will
- 2:29:06Speaker 1: actually be dealing with Iranian negotiators and American negotiators, because
- 2:29:10Speaker 1: right now there are indirect technical talks being held this
- 2:29:14Speaker 1: week and Cutter where negotiators from US and Irana there
- 2:29:19Speaker 1: I guess, not the principles anyway them and they've been
- 2:29:21Speaker 1: playing fast and loose with this whole memoran of understanding,
- 2:29:25Speaker 1: and the purpose of the meeting and Cutter this week
- 2:29:27Speaker 1: is to discuss implementation of the interim agreement. So somewhere
- 2:29:34Speaker 1: along the lines, this reminds me of the South Park episode,
- 2:29:36Speaker 1: you know, Phase one, collect underwear, Phase three profit, and
- 2:29:40Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle of phase two, but no one
- 2:29:41Speaker 1: knows what's going on. At some point, we need, I guess,
- 2:29:44Speaker 1: figure out what the memorandum understanding means and how that's
- 2:29:47Speaker 1: going to lead to the discussions regarding the nuclear program
- 2:29:50Speaker 1: and all the rest of the issues at play here,
- 2:29:52Speaker 1: including the strait of horror moons. But until you understand
- 2:29:55Speaker 1: the memorandum of understanding, you can't get to the substance
- 2:29:59Speaker 1: of negotiations. Yeah, not real clear to me either, anyhow,
- 2:30:04Speaker 1: I'm keeping my fingers crossed. You didn't get the chance
- 2:30:07Speaker 1: to listen alive Christopher Smitheman with the Smith event this morning.
