• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I just a recent election in downtown Cincinnati's still got
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: me reeling. You passed up on a great man. That's
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: what happens in only one out of four people show
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: up to vote. Anyway, Monday, Monday, it is Monday. We
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: get Brian James every Monday eight o five talking about
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: a variety of different things. Don't have the topic list
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: for Brian James. I'm sure he will come ready to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: rock and roll as he always does. I'll hear from
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: since Ada Chris klug kerose he does care and I
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: heard the VAS in the process of relocating to out

  Speaker 1: patient clinics and the I Center. We're gonna hear about
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: new locations, what they're going to be offered in other

  Speaker 1: things the VA is offering for the American veteran. God

  Speaker 1: bless each and every one of you for your service,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and God bless each and every one of you who
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: chooses to call in this morning. Struggling to decide where
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I wanted to start this morning five on three, seven
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: four nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: to three talk T five fifty on AT and T
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Funds and an always I remind you fifty five Carosee
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: dot com. Get your iHeart media apps. You can stream
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the audio wherever you happen to be. All the I
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: heard content factors probably more there and you could ever
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: hope to imagine, but at least focus on the fifty
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: five kres. The Morning Show heard from Congressman Taylor joined
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the program. Last week we learned about the Meals on
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Wheels Bust Across campaign got a brand new Meals on
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Wheels facility. I just was overwhelmed with what those Meals
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: on Wheels folks does. This is one of the largest
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: in the entire country with more than five thousand Meals
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: on Wheels locations around the country. We have the one
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: of the biggest just the number of meals that they deliver,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: one point three million in a facility that was only
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: designed to I think prepare what was it three hundred
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: or six hundred thousand annually. At bottom line is that's
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: why they need a new facility. They're going to be
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: able to make three million meals with the new facility.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: And I got the biggest kick out of it. Isn't
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: just seniors at home that they're delivering meals to. Those
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: seniors quite often have little furry friends, so they also
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: deliver a dog and cat food. It's a wonderful things
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: seniors with pets. Great way to keep you well around,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: giving you company, giving you companionship, giving you something to
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: care for and love. It's a great idea. Heart for
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: seniors was on as well. We got the elder care technology.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: It's all right there, fifty five care Sea dot com
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two to three talk pound five fifty
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: on AT and T phones. Did I say the phone
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: number yet already? Anyhow, what's legal? I'm confused. I'm sure
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: you probably have heard a few days ago. Last week
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: we had half a dozen members of Congress that had
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: served in the military or intelligence committee urging service members
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and intelligence officials that will be the CIA to disobey
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: illegal orders that President Trump may issue. They posted a
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: video on X last Tuesday, you had Elisa's Slotkin, who's
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: got the big X owner back on this. He's recently
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: commented on it. She's not even aware of any illegal
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: orders that Donald Trump is issued, but I got a
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: comment or two on that anyway. Mark Kelly, Jason Crow,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Maggie Goldlander, and Chris Deluzio and Chrissy who I am
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: all had some military or intelligence experience. All Democrats said
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: that threats to our constitution are coming from right here
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: at home, and urge military and intelligence community members to
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: refuse illegal orders. Quote. No one has to carry out
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: orders that violate the law or our constitution. Know that
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: we have your back. Don't give up the ship.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump came out and called this treason traders a
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: told the American military to disciby my orders. Should be
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: in jail right now, not roaming the fake news networks
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: trying to explain that what they said was okay, it
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: wasn't and never will be. Was sedition at the highest
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: level and sedition as a major crime. There can be
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: no other interpretation of what they said. All right, well,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you can be on either side of the equation on
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: this one, though other interpretation of what they said. He
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: is interpreting what they said. I have a question for you,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: answer it. All this revolves around Venezuela one. Do they
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: represent an immediate threat to the United States? These drug
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: dealers there. Keep going back to the fact they're fifteen
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: hundred and two thousand miles away in a boat. That
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: doesn't sound like an eminent threat to the United States
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: to me. They're not storming the border, they're not going
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: back to the entire Biden administration, we don't have an
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: authorization for US military force. The best of my knowledge,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: there isn't one. You want to try to take the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: one for what nineteen ninety one the invasion of Iraq
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: or Afghanistan. I know there isn't one out there, the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: best of my knowledgy it even can closely apply to this.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Congress has not declared war, and in fact, the Senate
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: defeated a resolution disapproving of the strikes under the War
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Powers Act fifty one to forty nine vote. So they
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: haven't disapproved the strikes, but they haven't approved them either.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I would say we're in a state of flux, state
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of limbo. Maybe what is lawful and unlawful under our
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: constitution as this, you know, refusally illegal order video suggested
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: do we even know? And Sloughtin doesn't even know? Been
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: an interviewed yesterday on the Sunday Shows this Week with
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: host Martha raddits quote from Slockin. So, I think the
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: reason we put that statement out is because the sheer
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: number of frankly young officers who are coming to us
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and saying, I'm not sure what do I do? You know,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I'm in South and I'm involved in the National Guard.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure what do I do? Slot can claim
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: these multitudes of service members coming to them and asking
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the what should I do? Question? We have report after
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: a report of legal officer JAG officers coming forward and saying, look,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I push back on this. I'm not sure that this
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: is legal. There is such things as illegal orders. Is
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: a little sick there, because of course grammatically that was incorrect. Anyway,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: you get to just what she said. That's why it's
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: in the Uniform Code of Military Justice going back to Nuremberg, right,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: And it's just that it's totally benign statement, and if
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the president is concerned about it, then he should say
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: stay deeply within the law. But I think it's important
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: to no, it's not hypothetical, radit's the host. Let's talk
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: right now. Do you believe President Trump has issued any
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: illegal orders? Slockin's response, to my knowledge, I'm not aware
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: of things that are illegal, but certainly there are some
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: legal gymnastics that are going on with these Caribbean strikes
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and everything related to Venezuela. Okay, enter Congress, how far
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: can a president go? I'm asking for myself and for
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: under the constitution, which requires, you know, declaration of war.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: And then we've got the Warpowers resolution, which I don't
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: know constitutionally that is constitutional. It's never been tested, but
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: at least you've got that, which would require congressional action. Right,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: What does our country do when faced with a challenge,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: in this particular case, massive quantities of drug coming across
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: our border? What does our country do when we are
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: faced with a challenge like this and we have a
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: gridlock deadlock Congress. They can't even agree on what time
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: of day it is that The Republicans say it's five
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: thirteen or five fourteen on a Monday morning in advance
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: of Thanksgiving. The Democrats are going to say, no, it's not.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I think we could all agree we have a real
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: problem with drugs flown into our country. Where does that
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: problem spring from? I be first and foremost pointing to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the people in the country here are using drugs. If
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: there was no demand, we wouldn't be dropping bombs on
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: boats over in Venezuela. We wouldn't even yeah, in Venezuela,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: we wouldn't have this conversation. Trump's talking about doing land strikes?
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Is that lawful flocking? Doesn't know? A couple of sources
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: said covert operations in Venezuela likely to be part of
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a new action against Maduro. Nicholas Maduro, president of the Venezuela,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: while two US officials speaking with Reuters said the new
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: operations under consideration, including attempt to overthrow the Dureau. This
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: is the kind of stuff the CIA engages in all
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the time, screwing around with foreign elections and what's going
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: on in foreign governments. We don't do that, Yes we do.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Cordon Reuters are the official speaking on a condition of anonemity.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: President Trump is prepared to use every element of American
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: power to stop drugs from flooding into our country and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: bring these people responsible to justice. Fair enough, what's lawful
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and what's unlawful? If you listen to Slocke and something's
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: going on that may be unlawful. These obviously, if you
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: take her at her word, these individuals, these young officers
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: who are apparently en masked, coming to her asking is
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: it lawful? She can't even answer the question yesterday on
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the Sunday Show. How far can a president go if
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: you have a basically an ineffective gridlock Congress who can't
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: do anything, and a threat that doesn't seem to be imminent,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: but obviously a threat is doing vast amounts of harm
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: to the United States. I'm at a loss on this
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: one Senator round Paul thinks it's going to be a
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: problem for the Republican Party. I'm not quite sure about that.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Talking to Margaret Brennan about the invasion of Venezuela, the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the eminent threat of invasion of Venezuela suggests it might
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: splinter or the Republican Party. So, I like a lot
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: of people, including myself, were attracted the president because of
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: his residence to get us involved in foreign war.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: But Trump has been launching this campaign designed to eliminate
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the drug traffickers, Paul said, I think by doing this,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: referring to officially designating Venezuela as Cartel de los Solz
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: as a foreign terrorist organization. By doing that, Paul says,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: they're pretending as if we are at war. They're pretending
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: as if we've gotten some imprimature to do what they
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: When you have war, the rules of engagement are lesson.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: But I don't know that designating them a terrorist organization
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: allows you to start launching bombs and dropping bombs on
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: a country against whom you have no declaration of war. Anyway,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm asking for your breading on this. Apparently
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the troops don't know I don't know about that, but
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: put yourself in a position. Are we to do nothing?
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Senator Paul suggests we work here at home to deal
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: with the demand problem, which I mentioned a moment ago.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: We should be trying to work on the demand side,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: treating it as a health problem, as an addiction problem
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: in our country, and trying to lessen demand. And that
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: is part of the overlall solution. Well, I concur with
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: you on that. But how many years have been fighting
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the war on drugs? How many programs are out there
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: to help people struggling with drug addiction. It's boiled down,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I would say complicated. It is confusing. But when it
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: comes down to the law and what is lawful and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: what isn't, I think we've run into a colossal train wreck.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Five eighteen right now. Fifty five kr CD talk station

• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I got to give credit to at least the defense
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: in part an exciting game, which seems unusual for the Bengals.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow walking around on the sidelines. So you want
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to talk to guys, Is Bobby you have anything to
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: say today on the fifty five care Morning Show, Sean,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: do you just want to talk to you? Does he
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: want to talk? Is you just want to chatter in
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: your ear? Because he does that to Strecker all the time. Bobby,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show. Happy Monday to.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: You, Happy Monday, monk friend.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Same thing?
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: What you got an answer to my question? Is it lawful?
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: In the last fifty years? At that was a Vietnam
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: War ended in nineteen seventy five.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I was hoping somebody would come up, yes, and North
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Korean's South.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: For you.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: Prior to that, We've been fifty years and I can
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: give you a list of seventy some countries that we
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: went ahead and had military actions in YEP, that's it.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: But does that make it lawful or right? You know me,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I've said a million times, and I've talked to Napolitano
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: about this. I am of the mind that you can't
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: just start dropping bombs on people in foreign lands against
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: and we have no military conflict. I mean, I don't
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: know how we've gotten to this point, Bobby, that I
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: really don't. I mean, I could see it. I understand
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: about history and what people can get away with. Going
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: back to Vietnam, there was no declaration of war. How
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: many years are we in there? Fifty thousand plus lives
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: lost and not go ahead? Bobby explained it to me.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: No, We've lost fifty some thousand in Vietnam in my lifetime.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: I'm older than you, and we have not had a
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: declaration war in my lifetime.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Nope.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: But I can go all the way to small you
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: and everywhere in the world that we went ahead and
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: had military action in and why hasn't Congress done something
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: about that? It's a great talk.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: It is all talked, all talk fast, all fast, and
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: those with the rules for expedience purposes. Because the rule
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: the Constitution requires a declaration of war, War Powers Act
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: at least requires an authorization for use military force. President
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: can use military action as a commander in chief for
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: eminent threats to our citizenry here and uh and our
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: and our land. But that isn't going on. Like I
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: go to the Venezuela and boat drug dealers. They're two
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: thousand miles away. You're going to drop a bomb on them.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: You don't know ultimately where they're going to go. You
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: can speculate, but we.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: Went ahead and declare the individuals as enemy combatants. An
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: enemy combatant are groups that do not wear the uniforms
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: of their country. And the way our country is there,
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: you know they're open, open to take offense against.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess where where does it say just by
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: declaration of someone is an enemy combatant? And what is
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the definition of that? And does Congress pass or thumb
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: up or thumb down on that? The answer is no,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: of course. Doesn't that make it kind of fast and loose?
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Any given president sitting in the office can declare some
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: organization and enemy combatant then draw bombs on them. Look
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: what we just did with Syria.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: President hit of Syria ahead of tam I I mean,
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: he doesn't end.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I know, I just think maybe I sound stupid. I'm not.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be contradictory or or you know,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be caging or anything. That it
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: has happened doesn't answer the question of where the authority
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: comes from and how far and broad is the authority.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're in a moment where, I mean, we're
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: in a moment where we really need to ask ourselves
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: this question. So that's why I'm raising it. And this
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: slot Can issue is kind of cropped up. And even
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: she doesn't know she's now telling troops to you know,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: ignore illegal orders. You can't even put her thumb on
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: one that she claims is currently illegal. Here, I am
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: raising the possibility that some of these actions may be
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: illegal for lack of congressional authorization. But she doesn't even
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: go down that road. No one seems to know. I
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: guess is ultimately where I am on this. That's troubling
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: to me. Five twenty five Right now, Scott and Corey
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: on the phone, looking forward to having you guys on
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the program. Just give you a minute, got to take
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: quick break through a few messages and we'll be right back.
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio Station.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Service to them twenty nine on them Monday, Thanksgiving Weekay,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: love me my Thanksgiving, and I hope you have some
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: great plans for Thanksgiving, and I hope it involves family,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: and I hope it does not involve a political discussion.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: But I love political discussions here on the fifty five
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Jersey Morning. So we'll see what Scott's god got a
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: few callers online. Hang on, Tom and Corey, you get
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: right with you. Scott, thanks for calling. Happy Monday to you.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Happy Monday.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Brian.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: I'll just say, desperate times call for desperate measures, and.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: I believe you've got everything all.
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: You're dancing around everything. So Trump empowered through an executive
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: order to look into the election, those that panel heads
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: their findings, and so I say that these drug broad
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: strikes and Cartel de la souls, it's more about what's
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: about to happen with the findings of the election in
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: the Venezuelan being in on the dominion and smartmatic the
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: fest of our elections, which goes back probably at least
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: a decade, maybe twenty years.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: A second ago. You're referred to the to thecrats. Hold on,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, Scott, hold on,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: I gotta understand what you're talking about. You're referring to
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the Venezuelan elections or our elections, because there's been declarations
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: of shenanigans in both. Let me use that term loosely both.
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: It all starts in Denizwel. They were the results, the
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: results of the the paneled executive order, the investigation are
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: going to come out. So that's what these democrats are doing.
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: They they're following the Podesta Plan and your your viewers
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: can look that up. So these Democrats, they are an
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: open sedition and they are at war with the American government.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: So that's what I mean.
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: Desperate times called for desperate measures. So through this the
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: finding that are about to be released, that's why they're
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: going on That's why they're going on air telling our
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: service members to disobey these orders. Since I starts arresting
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: these conspirators, that's when this is all going to kick off.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Well, it seems to be a rather convoluted chain of circumstances.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know what this report you're referring to says.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen it myself, and based upon your comments,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: it hasn't been released yet, so I don't know where
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: you got the information. But how does you know I
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: don't know how we are in a position to determine
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: whether or not there's been fraud in the event azuel
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: In election. We can't even figure it out our own
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: system of government here, I mean, and how does Venezuela
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: and election interference translate into our using military action? Wouldn't
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: you still need And here's my point, going back to
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: congressional authorization, whatever predicate it is to justify, I mean,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: to the extent military force can be justifed, what is
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: the predicate for it? And where is the congressional action
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: authorizing an example, authorization for use of military force, declaration
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: of war. This is the part that's absent from me,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: regardless of whatever issue justifies or at least makes an
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: argument for military justification. So why it's confusing to me?
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: And maybe I'm just confused on a Monday morning as
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: we go into a long week, I don't know, a
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: long weekend. I don't know. Let's see what Corey's got Tom,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: hang on you next, Corey, welcome to the program. Thanks
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: for calling. Can you make sense out of this for me?
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Or you want to call up talk about something else?
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: Well, I can see both sides of it. First song,
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: I'm calling from Finley, Ohio this week. Hey, good morning Finley,
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: app But anyhow, I can see both sides of it. One,
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: I think Trump is technically legal to do what he's
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: doing because the War on Terror still stands, has not
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: been repealed. So I think that's what gives him the
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: justification to declare anybody a terrorist group and go after
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: anywhere in the world the same way Obama used drones
• 22:11
  Speaker 8: to kill Americans in another country. But about that, no,
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: I know it's the same thing, the exact same thing,
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: and Trump is using it for his benefit that it
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: has a country he could argue.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: But okay, Tom, go ahead. The quote war on terror? Close? Quote?
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Have we declared and authorized a war on terror? And
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: isn't that, in and of itself an extraordinarily convoluted argument.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: If a president merely has to sign an executive order
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: designating any given group as a terrorist organization, that puts
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: them into the fold as an enemy under the umbrella
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: of war on terror. Where's the document legal authorization for
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: waging a war on terror, which necessarily means waging a
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: war on individual groups that are not under color of
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: a state flag. That's where the problem unfolded. I guess
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: when our framers of the Constitution were contemplating war. You're
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: thinking about war between nations, armies fighting armies, and so
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: you can certainly see that. Okay, we have a flag.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: They are fighting us, our system of life. They want
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: to overthrow the United States. There you go, there's a
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: declaration of war. But if you have little fringe elements
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: within sovereign nations that the sovereign nation doesn't necessarily support,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: or maybe it does tacitly, but regardless, it isn't there
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: foreign policy to go after the United States. How do
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: we start launching missiles, dropping bombs and otherwise eradicating people
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: that belong to a group within a larger state.
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: I don't know there's of action after nine to eleven,
• 23:46
  Speaker 8: which people like Rampaul at the time Senator his father
• 23:52
  Speaker 8: Rom Paul argued against it, which more people would not
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: vote a Democrat.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: We wouldn't be in the situation today.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, as we fast approached Tom's call, appreciate the call man, Tom,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: hang on at a time in the segment, but you
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: know I can't cut you off earlier, So we'll take
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: your call in a moment five one, three, seven, four, nine,
• 24:11

• 24:13
  Speaker 1: pound five fifty on eight and t funds. Friends will
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: be on Facebook, and I don't know that you necessarily are.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: I do have, like I'm maxed out of like five thousand. Anyway,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I kept promising Galaxy Concrete Coatings. I would post them
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: before and after pictures. Well there they are. Finally we
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: finally had some sunny skies so I can actually show
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: you what the project looks like. Amazing, and of course
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about maybe not. Of course, if you're hurt
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: for the first time my daughter and her fiance's patio,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: you can see how terrible it looked before Galaxy Concrete
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Coatings got involved. WHOA, what an amazing transformation. It just
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: looks absolutely beautiful. And that surface they chose from among
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: one hundred and forty different colors and different surface patterns.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: They picked what they want. They got what they want
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: and it looks great. That surface comes with a lifetime guarantee,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: so it's gonna outlive them. And it's so easy, I
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: mean pluck one day application, it dried within twenty four hours,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: even though we had a little bit of rain overnight.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: The first day they applied it didn't impact the surface
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: looks again fantastic. Get a free quote. Whether you're looking

• 25:18
  Speaker 1: it doesn't have to look like concrete, especially if it's
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: in the shape my daughter's and Eric patio look like black.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: It's gonna really pop with Galaxy Concrete Coatings. These folks

  Speaker 1: breake there and need a message from Tom every day
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: here on the fifty five carries Sad Morning Show. Tom,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: welcome back, my friend, Happy Monday to you.
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, good morning. And I agree with Corey. If
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: people wouldn't be voting Democrats so much, we wouldn't be
• 26:07
  Speaker 9: having a lot of these problems.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but in the context of my out loud,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I don't understand question when it comes to the legality
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: of military strikes. I'm gonna I'm gonna fog here. The
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Republicans also not in complete uniform agreement on what it
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: is is necessary to start dropping bombs. I mean Brand
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Paul's run, Thomas Massey's another. I mean, it's not as
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: if the Republican Party has locks the immunity. And is
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: it okay if the party's locks the immunity for the
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: President of the United States of America to start dropping
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: bombs where they he damn well pleases. It's a legitimate question,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Republican or Democrat. Does it make it right if you
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: have uniformity in agreement within the party.
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: No, the law is the law, and it's either right
• 26:53
  Speaker 9: or it's wrong based on the law. Now, I have
• 26:56
  Speaker 9: made this next statement multiple times and I'll say it again.
• 27:00
  Speaker 9: The Constitution is only as good as the people who
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: are charged with upholding the constitution. So it's like any
• 27:09
  Speaker 9: law in any city or state or county or whatever.
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: You know, there is what prosecutorial discretion. You got to
• 27:18
  Speaker 9: be willing to do something about it. A person, even
• 27:22
  Speaker 9: if you're filing a personal suit, someone has to be
• 27:25
  Speaker 9: willing to step up, pork the money over for the
• 27:29
  Speaker 9: lawyers or what court costs or whatever. Somebody has to
• 27:32
  Speaker 9: be willing to step out there and say, no, I'm
• 27:35
  Speaker 9: not going to tolerate this. I'm going to try to
• 27:37
  Speaker 9: do something about it. And of course, as you know
• 27:39
  Speaker 9: in Congress, trying to do something about anything is a
• 27:44
  Speaker 9: very tedious task, and it was intentionally made that way.
• 27:49
  Speaker 9: But if enough people are not going to step up
• 27:52
  Speaker 9: and get in the way of any president's decisions, then
• 27:56
  Speaker 9: who's going to do anything about it? You know, the
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: Supreme Court just jump in. They have to have a
• 28:02
  Speaker 9: case brought to them. Correct, So it's again, who's gonna
• 28:07
  Speaker 9: do something about it?
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 28:09
  Speaker 9: And I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with it. My answer
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: is I don't have a freaking clue. I mean, it
• 28:15
  Speaker 9: sure looks like it's not according to the Constitution, But
• 28:18
  Speaker 9: I'm no constitutional scholar, but I have enough common sense
• 28:21
  Speaker 9: to know that if there are plenty of people sitting
• 28:25
  Speaker 9: in Congress and their staff who know the answer to
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: this question, and so if they're not gonna do anything
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: about it, well what are we gonna do? Call it
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: okay now doesn't mean it's right. It just means that
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: nobody's gonna do anything about it. And you know, there's
• 28:41
  Speaker 9: political questions that are usually more important to the people
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: who should do something about it. Usually operations become more important,
• 28:51
  Speaker 9: and that's a problem that should not be going on.
• 28:54
  Speaker 9: But you know, we were dealing with human beings. So
• 28:57
  Speaker 9: I don't I don't like the way this whole thing
• 29:01
  Speaker 9: is going. You know, when you can sit there and go, well,
• 29:03
  Speaker 9: somebody's got to do something about it, Okay, I'll agree
• 29:06
  Speaker 9: with that, But it doesn't mean you have to do
• 29:08
  Speaker 9: something illegal.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: You know, this is back to the legality question. This
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: is where the gray area is Slotkin screaming about telling
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: people to ignore illegal orders, and yet she can't even
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: put her thumb on one that she believes to be illegal.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Right now, I'm just questioning the the overall reality of
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: where we are. It's complicated. We're dropping bombs on Venezuela,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: and boats were getting ready to drop bombs on Venezuela.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: The country going after the designated narco Terrorist's fine, but
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: if some other country decided that they they're gonna label
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Antifa to Oh, I'd love Antipah to be labeled terrorist group,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: wouldn't you, Tom, I mean they're terrorist organization. Fine, what
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: if some other country decided to start dropping bombs on
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Antifa encampments here in the United States? Would we scream
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: our heads off about how we've been violated? I think
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: we probably would. It's a two way street.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: I agree, and you.
• 29:56
  Speaker 9: What you have here is that you have politicians who
• 30:00
  Speaker 9: don't want to come out and be specific about what
• 30:03
  Speaker 9: they're what. They have a problem with the fact that
• 30:06
  Speaker 9: it's Donald Trump. Now, he he's an easy target. Hey,
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: they go after him, they fire their arrows and bullets
• 30:13
  Speaker 9: at him and whatever, and he's still standing. Literally we're
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: talking about literally and figuratively here. So I don't agree
• 30:21
  Speaker 9: with everything he does. He kind of makes himself a
• 30:24
  Speaker 9: target by the way he runs his mouth. One of
• 30:26
  Speaker 9: the few things I don't like, and well, actually there's
• 30:29
  Speaker 9: more than to you there's I don't like some things
• 30:31
  Speaker 9: that he does and decisions that he makes, but he
• 30:34
  Speaker 9: runs his mouth. I don't like how personal he gets.
• 30:36
  Speaker 9: He's supposed to be a you know, he's the president
• 30:39
  Speaker 9: of the United States. Why you got to take make
• 30:41
  Speaker 9: everything so personal and be insulting. But that's his style
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: and it's God and where he is today. So you know,
• 30:47
  Speaker 9: I'm just that's my opinion on it. But these Democrats,
• 30:50
  Speaker 9: they don't want to really stick their neck too far
• 30:53
  Speaker 9: out because they're hoping they're Yeah, they don't want.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: To do that.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Just like Barack Obama drop bombs on people in foreign countries,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: they don't raise a finger or an eyebrow in in
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: argument against it. At the same point, how far are
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: you vos?
• 31:11
  Speaker 9: Illegal orders is a very vague term. It could mean something. Look,
• 31:15
  Speaker 9: it could mean these Venezuelan things. We don't know. They
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: won't come out and say exactly what. And I think
• 31:21
  Speaker 9: it's intentional. They're intentionally not saying, but they are sowing
• 31:27
  Speaker 9: seas of division and undermining stuff in the military. That
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: is wrong. It is no doubt that's wrong. Everybody sees
• 31:35
  Speaker 9: that's wrong, right, and that's Democrats doing that. So add
• 31:38
  Speaker 9: it to the list. One more reason don't vote Democrat.
• 31:41
  Speaker 9: Have a great day.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Always good to hear from you, Tom. Yeah, but the
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Democrats getting even idente for what's legal and illegal see
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: It'll be better if they had come out with that
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: statement telling do not abide, do not follow this particular
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: order and for the following reasons. It's the following reasons
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: is what I'm trying to dive down on. Get to
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: get to Yes, this is us during the pot of division.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: I understand go after evil Orange man any way you can.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: But there is a large question looming behind this current spat,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: and one that I don't think anybody can answer. Phone
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: lines are out, but if you can answer it, I
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: love to hear from you. Stick around. We got more
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: to talk about after I mentioned. But I'm TI Plumbing,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: which is always plumbing done right, outstanding plumber's license. They
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: are great at customer service. They do not charge a
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: service fee. They do not well. They provide free estimates,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: you learn about fair and ethical pricing without being charge
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: for it. I think that's an outstanding thing. Why wouldn't
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: you a plus the better business here. They're going to
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: deliver on great plumbing work, as they have for me
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: on multiple projects over the years. Is why I recommend.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I've seen the work in action, and I know the
• 32:43

  Speaker 1: you save a huge amount of space. You get lower
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: energy bills with a tankless system and you get unlimited
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: hot water. Don't call the other guys for sewer line
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: repair replacement. Called the experts at no Dig Technology Plumb
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Tight Plumbing, so you don't have a landscaping billing a mess,

• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Dog Station. Yes I do have a status do but
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I have callers on the line, which I certainly prefer.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Speaking of callers, let's jump to the phones. They have
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Brian on the line. Brian, welcome in the morning show.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Happy Monday to.
• 33:31
  Speaker 10: You, Happy Monday to you too, Brian, and I bid
• 33:35
  Speaker 10: you a happy Thanksgiving thanks man you too, Thank you.
• 33:40
  Speaker 10: You were talking about there was some confusion about on
• 33:43
  Speaker 10: the Democrats side about what would constitute a legal order,
• 33:47
  Speaker 10: and I was just wondering would it really make their
• 33:49
  Speaker 10: heads explode if that order came from a woman, because
• 33:54
  Speaker 10: they don't know how to define what a woman is.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the extra confusion to it. And I don't think
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: it's just the Democrats are confused. I think the Republicans
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: are confused as well. It's a question of his boxes
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: being Gordon in terms of this military involvementor military use
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: and author and force use. Appreciate my Brian extra complication
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: on that one.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Let me give props to Mike who sent me an
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: email earlier. So if someone gave the military illegal orders
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: to take a dangerous experimental medical treatment that also violated
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: the First Amendment protected religious convictions, can they refuse it?
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Well played, Mike, over to the stack of stupid got
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: the blase? An Iowa man has a well an idea
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: to help you shake off the blues. Twice last month,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: police say danan Airy, thirty years old, stood against the
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: rear of his twenty twelve Chevy Impala. And here's in
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: the rest report quote with his pants and underwear removed
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: to his ankles and shirt lifted to casually expose his
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: genitals and abdomen to oncoming traffic. Close quote this in
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Iowa City. One question by police, mister Dana and Ari
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: reportedly confessed to the indecent exposure criminal complaint. Says Aary
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: explained that this behavior was fulfilling his excitement that was
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: currently missing in his blah life. That, of course is
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: a quote. Investigators say he knew that this behavior was
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: inappropriate and unacceptable, as well as offensive to others within view,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: but he did it anyway, apparently as a lengthy rap sheet.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Arrested last week on two indecent exposure counts, being held
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: to the Johnson County jail in law of a five
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars bond. Interesting jail name for that particular story too,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: if you think about it, just don't think about it
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: too hard. Portland police last ones they released body camera
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: footage of an armed incident happened in Lloyd District. Say
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: naked man with a gun seen running before firing a
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: shot from a police investigator said an officer hit forty
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: three year old Robert Hatley with his patrol car after
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: officers saw him fire the weapon. Hattleie kept running when
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: in an apartment building, was eventually taken into custody after
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: officers used a stun gun off and police. Portland Police
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: beer reviewing the use of the patrol car as a
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: deadly force event. Hattie was taken to the hospital, was
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: treated and released. Then he went to jail for unlawful
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: use of a weapon and fell in possession of a
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: firearm dan. Finally, after a planned sexual threesome didn't materialize,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Florida woman became angry and pummeled her boyfriend in the face.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: The attack witnessed by the woman who had been invited
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: to the couple's residents for the three way not Cincinnati
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: style Court of Investigators Angeline Court. Forty seven and a
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: boyfriend invited his female friend a Clearwater apartment to engage
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: in sexual activity. However, this plan was interrupted, police say
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: when all parties to find to participate in the sexual activity.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Rest Hafideva doesn't reveal why the whole idea of the
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: threesome was aborted.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: That does not make sense.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Nothing today makes any sense. After this declination of the activity,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Curly allegedly became angry and repeatedly struck the forty seven
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: year old victim in the face as he was seated
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: in the couple's living room couch. The female invites he
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: accorded to the police, watched Curl strike the victim in
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: the face with the closed fists multiple times. After being
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: read or Rit's, Curl denied hitting the man. Curl arrested
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: about quarter after one in the morning on Sunday for
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: domestic battery misdemeanor, and she was released from custody later
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: that day on her own recognizance. Of course, the judge
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: or to Curl to have no contact with the victim.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: That okay, that's why it's in the stack of stupid
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: FI fifty six fifty five Kirsteve Talk Station plenty to
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: talk about in the six o'clock hour. I would enjoy
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: hearing from you. Maybe one of us can ultimately figure
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: out the answer to the question, where does the military
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: force use come from? By way of approval congressional? Does
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: the executive have this power on his own to do it?
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: I didn't read it in the Constitution, so I'm puzzled,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: and apparently everyone else is and has been since post
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: World War two. Don't go away, I'd be right back after
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: the words and uh. Top of the air News w
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: KRC Cincinnati and iHeartRadio Station Guaranteed Human fifty five KRC,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: the Talk station. I heard radio the shy six oh
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: five and fifty five k r CD talk station, Brian
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Timas Swish and everybody a very happy Monday, looking forward Thanksgiving.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: I hope you are as much as I am. Just
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Tracker he's on vacation today. Sean McMahon is doing a
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: great job covering for the vacationing Just Tracker. That means
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: he can answer the phone if you give him a
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: call five one, three, seven, four nine fifty eight hundred
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: eight to two three talk or poundify fifty on AT
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: and T phones. Don't know which direction I'm gonna go,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: although I do sud a kind of laughing over the
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: un Climate Ox which ended over the weekend. I got
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: a couple of comments about that. Segue into well reality
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: has drug Home. But real quick here Christopher Smithmen coming
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: up at seven twenty with the Smith a vand we
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Got Money Money with Brian James. Fast forward to eight
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: oh five for that and casee Cares with Chris Kluke
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: from the Insane via about relocating two outpatient clinics in
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: the eye Center. Where would the locations be, what are
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: they going to offer? We're going to learn about that
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: toward the tail end of the program, feel free to call.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: As I mentioned, so real quick here. Oh and in
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: the five o'clock hour, I'm asking the question out loud.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: It would be an ongoing question because I don't think
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: anybody can answer it. On the heels of this, slocking
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: and other elected officials saying disregard illegal orders obviously put
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump in a tizzy. She over the weekend can't
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: identify any order that Donald Trump is issued that she
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: deems to be illegal. So we're in kind of a
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: gray area here. But it all swirls around Venezuela. Where's
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: the authority come from to start dropping bombs on Venezuela.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: We get an entire carrier group down there. Mean, I
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: know they're evil people. I'm not on Maduro's side. I
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: think guy's an idiot. He's obviously driven his entire country
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: into the toilet. He's probably in bed with an ARCO terrorist.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: But I'm looking for a sense of law and order
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: in all of this, And you know, I kind of
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: leave on the side of Senator Ran Paul. It's like, whoa, whoa,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: what is going on here? And will this fracture the Republicans?
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: The attacks on Venezuela and drug boats. I'm not quite
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: there yet, but you got Democrat presidents dropping bombs on
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: people in countries against whom we have no authorization for
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: you some military force and no declaration of war. I
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: was against that. I'm against it. If Trump does it,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: tell me where the legal authority comes from, point to something.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: All this stems from, in my estimation, congressional inaction. The
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: world continues to move. Our constitution has certain legal requirements
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: built into it really don't allow for the dysfunction that
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: are we currently have with elected officials. If Congress is
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: not going to act, the president's hands seem to be
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: tied from a constitutional perspectives, that mean that we just
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: have to sort of lay back and take it anyhow.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Moving on, So every leader in the world flies to
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Brazil for this climate Concrience conference, COP thirty flying in
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: their private jets, and I read a couple of times
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: that they cut down like six hundred thousand acres of
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: rainforest to build roads and hotels for these idiots. Whether
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: or not that figure is accurate, it remains to be seen.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: But no one gives a damn when these people fly
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: in their carbon dioxide pollutant, belching private jets to Venezuela
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: at a rump for a week and a half at
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: great expense, and then do nothing, really, which is exactly
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: what they did when reality hits climate change. The agreement
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: that they did reach calls for well tripling the financing
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: for climate adaptation. Go ahead and make some sense out
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: of that. All I know is foreign governments want to
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: tap into the wealthy Western countries to fund whatever it
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: is that they need to do by way of adaptation.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: This is a global wealth redistribution scam. I've been saying
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: it for years, and I'm wed to that proposition until
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: someone can show me something different. Because when the citizenry
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: starts demanding power and wind and solar doesn't provide it,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: then you got to start looking someplace else. And that's
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: what everybody's doing. In fact, one of the things that
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: the European Union was doing was border fees, border fees
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: on carbon intensive GOODSS goods well part of the so
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: called agreement from the COP thirty conferences. No, No, you
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: can't do that. Climate policies should not constitute a means
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: of arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination or a disguised restriction on
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: international trade. So I guess the European Union thought that
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: basically taxing carbon intensive goods somehow is going to take
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: the carbon dioxide out of the air. We all know
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: what a laugh that kind of proposition is. But now
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: here's Cop thirty said, no, you can't do that. You
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: know why, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, among others,
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: expressed what they called implacable opposition. Why because, well, their
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: countries are fueled on fossil fuels and they don't want
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: these policies to interfere with the sale of their fossil fuels,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: revealing a bitter conflict at the heart of the global
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: climate politics. Gordon, what are the folks there? It's between
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: those who accept the science, laugh about that statement, and
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: recognize that the world must wean itself off fossil fuels
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: over the next two or three decades man too, maybe three,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: maybe ten, who knows, and those who are actively resisting
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: this in order to produce even more of them, in
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: other words, fossil fuels. Why are they continuing to produce
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: even more of them? Well, because the people need energy.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: That's where we move her to New York, New York
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Governor Kathy Hockel approved a natural gas pipeline that has
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: been opposed by the climate lobbying up until a moment
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: of time ago. Opposed by Governor Kathy Hockel. Why, well,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: that's because they need natural gas to keep the power
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: running tennds away, and your governor got Shapiro, Josh Shapiro
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: bailed out of cap and tax program as well last week. Hm,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: what's going on here with these democrats? Ball Street journalm
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: and Shapiro showed is or. Mister Shapiro showed his pragmatic
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: streak when he used a budget deal with the Republican
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: legislators as an excuse to pull out of the regional
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: greenhouse gas initiative. Apparently a dozen of so states in
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: the northeast of join in this what the journal refers
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: to as climate suicide pack, which involves taxing the CO
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: two emissions of fossil fuel power plants. Ask a question,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: amid rising energy prices, will taxing CO two emissions from
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: fossil fuel plants raise or lower your energy bill? Right?
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Apparently the money taking in this stupid proposal would allow
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: the states to spend the money on climate boondoggles, as
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: the journal describes them. The goal is to raise the
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: cost on fossil fuel plants and make them less competitive
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: in the wholesale market against wind and solar power. That's
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: the laugh in all of this, isn't it the throat
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: cutting that we engage in in an effort to rid
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: the world of plant food. You artificially increase the price
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: of something that works twenty four to seven and can
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: be acquired cheaply. That will be the fossil fuel production
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: of energy. No, we can't have that. We need to
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: make it less affordable, So let's start taxing the hell
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: out of it. God, these people are insane. This pointed out.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: Fossil fuel plants might have to then shut down. If
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: they forced the price to go so high, then well
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: they can't do business. General notes. Climate activists will cheer,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: but the result will be a less reliable electric grid
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: and higher rates for consumers. Blackouts and soaring utility bills
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: in the state won't help Shapiro if he runs for
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: president in twenty twenty eight. MM tens of eighties and
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: other Northeastern states come close to suffering widespread power or
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: can close to suffering wide spread power outages during the
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two Arctic blast the main prout power producer
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: PJM interconnection they oversee. The mid Atlantic grid responded to
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: the close run catastrophe by increasing payments to fossil fuel
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: generators to keep them running. Payments, of course, contribute to
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: the contribute to the rising electric rates, and the Cap
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: and Trade program would have raised them even more. Well,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: here's fun Residential electric rates have risen by fifty percent
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania over the last five years. Now compare that
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: to twenty nine percent on average nationwide. Still awfully high,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: artificially high, I might interject. They say. Some estimates suggests
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: the Cap and Trade plan would have increased Pennsylvania's electricity
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: bills between twenty four and thirty six percent by twenty thirty. Meanwhile,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Hopeles approved the pipeline he carried natural gas fracked in
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Pennsylvania to New York City and Long Island. Her predecessor,
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo blocked that pipeline. Now, the state desperately needs
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: more natural gas to keep the lights and heat on.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: Winter times coming state grid operators one blackouts could happen
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: as soon as next summer, and as a result of
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: the nuclear and gas plant retirements. Yeah, see the European
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: Union on hell. Well that's working out. Germany is nearly bankrupt.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Gas plans sometimes have to run on oil during heat
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: waves of frigid weather. But this is this is expensive
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: and violate state emission standards. So go back to the pipeline.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Hoko may fear an even bigger catastrophe gas shortage, which
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: happened back in twenty twenty two Christmas freeze nearly caused
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: the city's pipes to lose pressure. Apparently, had that happened,
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission warned that the entire gas
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: system would have to be shut down, maybe for months,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: leaving natural gas customers without heat in the middle of winter.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: Somebody wrote wtf after that comment, going back to reality,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: how do we stop that from happening? Governor Hochol MSS,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: former Green champion, says we need to build a damn pipeline.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: New York's environmental regulators, who previously rejected the pipeline, said
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: in September it is needed to maintain a reliable gas system. Quote,
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: we need to govern in reality. Miss Hokeel said after
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: approving the pipeline, kind of like Cop thirty we need
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: to well Haram In reality, Saudi Arabians are a little
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: upset we're going to tax their products, so we can't
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: have that. Let's not mention really carbon dioxide in any
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: COP thirty agreement that comes out. Why well, people keep
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: building gas plants and coal plants in this world to
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: keep up with the with the demand. Their citizenry needs electricity.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: And then there's this pesty ai facilities out there which
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: the entire world is clamoring for, which is up massive
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: quantities of power. So reality runs headlong into this green
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: alarmist nonsense, and it appears that reality is winning the day.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Makes me happy. Stephen Chris, I see you are on
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: the phone. I will be happy to take your calls
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: when I get back. I said, to get that out
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: of my system, maybe stir the pot of conversation here
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: on the fifty five Cassing Morning Show. Don't go away,
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: be right back, fifty five car Detox station, wany I
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: figure out Cassite talk station and going to go straight
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: to the phone. It's got a couple of callers. We're
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: kind of up this there on hold there while I yack.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: And in the last segment, we're going to order which
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: they receive, which means Steve is first. Chris hang on, Steve,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: welcome to the show, and thanks for holding.
• 50:11
  Speaker 11: So you did start the conversation. Pot let's see first topic.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: So it was.
• 50:17
  Speaker 11: The military in the UH about South America. Well, just
• 50:21
  Speaker 11: because they're doing something somewhere doesn't mean that's why they're
• 50:24
  Speaker 11: in the area. Maybe something else is going on in
• 50:27
  Speaker 11: this Commander in chief I think he has a powered
• 50:28
  Speaker 11: moving military around and has to yas Congress after so
• 50:32
  Speaker 11: many days. So that topic, I mean, just because they're
• 50:35
  Speaker 11: doing something, it's like a rodeo clown. So over here,
• 50:37
  Speaker 11: look over here.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Point acknowledge and well taken, Steve. Just because we move
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: a carrier group to any place, any given place, it
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: happens all the time. Obviously it's done to show a
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: military flex of muscle. There hasn't been a missile launch
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: into the interior vent as well. Those ships can be
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: sent anywhere. As commander in chief, he absolutely has that authority.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: My bigger point is the actual blowing up of boats
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: and the what seems to be imminent launching of strikes
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: into the interior Venezuela and the designation of that group
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: as a terrorist Organization questioned whether that gives the President
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: of the United States of America the authority to launch
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: military strikes. And that's where my puzzle, my being puzzled
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: comes from. I don't know that it does. I don't
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: think it does. No one seems to know. Even Slotkin,
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: who's telling American military forces in the CIA to disregard
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: illegal orders, can't even put her thumb on what she
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: believes to be an illegal order or identifying one that
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump is issued yet, so everyone seems being a
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: state of confusion.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: Steve Correat, that's right now.
• 51:31
  Speaker 7: Data centers.
• 51:32
  Speaker 11: A small data center has about ten megs a backup
• 51:35
  Speaker 11: diesel fuel energy. The one in Elebanon has like fifty megs,
• 51:39
  Speaker 11: and so up northeast Northeastern states. They wanted all these
• 51:43
  Speaker 11: data centers up there until they found out the backup
• 51:45
  Speaker 11: was diesel fuel, and so they canceled all their all
• 51:50
  Speaker 11: the stuff. They didn't want them up there.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: Seriously.
• 51:53
  Speaker 11: Yeah, in Lebanon, Ohio, you're talking about the natural gas
• 51:56
  Speaker 11: line didn't have the power to compress the gas. Well,
• 52:00
  Speaker 11: the bill one eleven in right now. But the Union's
• 52:04
  Speaker 11: around here to love and big, you know. Construst is
• 52:07
  Speaker 11: love the fact that all this construsting being done. But
• 52:08
  Speaker 11: the data center after built has like ten people in it,
• 52:12
  Speaker 11: so you have a lot of supporting, you know, trades
• 52:14
  Speaker 11: keeping this building running.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but as.
• 52:17
  Speaker 11: For hiring people to come in and work, it's not
• 52:20
  Speaker 11: a factory computers.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: In a dark room. In my mind's eye, I can energy.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: I can only concede Steve, that's exactly right. I mean,
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: how many people do you need to run an AI
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: FA soley, I don't know, but it's not like an Amazon,
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: you know, fulfillment center where you need a whole bunch
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: of people to process the goods. So, but I guess
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: that's where we are. Where at phase one, which is
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: construction jobs and building and this this this quote unquote
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: investment of billions of dollars to do exactly that. Phase two,
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: of course, will be the role out of the artificial
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: intelligence facilities. What is Phase three? Is it profit or
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: is it the elimination of our jobs? I certainly know
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: that Phase three will involve massive quantities of electricity consumption.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: And the only golden thing I can see in all
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: of that is it may lead to all of us
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: having nuclear plants, small modular reactors which never go out
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: and provide us with abundance of electricity and allow us
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: to move forward with a booming economy that isn't contingent
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: upon capturing carbon dioxide. Thank you, Steve, appreciate it. Let'sen
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: what Chris has got. He was kind of the whole Chris,
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: thanks for holding Welcome to the show.
• 53:23
  Speaker 8: Hey Brian, first time caller, Love your show, and thanks
• 53:27
  Speaker 8: for keeping me company on my drive. I'm driving to
• 53:30
  Speaker 8: Florida this morning.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: So, oh, you're right, you're on your way to Florida. Chris.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: Sean put up that you were heading to Lexington. I
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: thought that was your destination, but that's just to stop
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: off on the way to the to the Sunshine State.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: Where are you heading in Florida? If I can ask? Enviously, Chris,
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: I'm going down to the north side of Orlando, going
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: to spend Thanksgiving with.
• 53:52
  Speaker 8: My family and also doing some work down there.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: So good for.
• 53:55
  Speaker 8: Nice seeing these two dollars and fifty six cent gas prices.
• 54:01
  Speaker 8: UH as well, But but no real quick, I was
• 54:05
  Speaker 8: listening to your uh several of the callers where you
• 54:07
  Speaker 8: were talking about, you know, the UH unlawful orders in
• 54:11
  Speaker 8: the video that several of these democrats, you know, politicians
• 54:16
  Speaker 8: did Uh. Your point is spot on, you know, talking
• 54:20
  Speaker 8: about the legal ramifications, and if you look at the
• 54:23
  Speaker 8: clandestine stuff that the CIA has done over the years,
• 54:27
  Speaker 8: you know there there's always a number of different angles
• 54:32
  Speaker 8: that where you ask why, But for government officials to
• 54:36
  Speaker 8: do a video to proactively talk about president and unlawful
• 54:42
  Speaker 8: orders when they themselves can't even tell you what was
• 54:46
  Speaker 8: unlawful is beyond the pale.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 54:49
  Speaker 8: And I got to tell you for all of the
• 54:52
  Speaker 8: talk that we've heard in the last you know, four
• 54:54
  Speaker 8: and a half years about January sixth, and how we've
• 54:57
  Speaker 8: had that cram down our face and how that is
• 55:00
  Speaker 8: seditious behavior for a politician to go out and say.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: What they did on that video.
• 55:07
  Speaker 8: I mean, it really makes me want to barf. And
• 55:10
  Speaker 8: kudos to you for stating that when challenged, you know,
• 55:15
  Speaker 8: some of these same people about what was the name
• 55:19
  Speaker 8: and on lawful order and they can't do it right
• 55:21
  Speaker 8: On all of these news programs, they have not been
• 55:24
  Speaker 8: they've not said that, So it is it is beyond
• 55:28
  Speaker 8: the pale, And kudos to you for stating that they
• 55:32
  Speaker 8: you know, they can't even say what it was right.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Well, but see, to me, I agree with you. I
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: think it's terrible. I don't like the division of this country.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: I don't like the idea of underminding American military. But
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: it invites the question that I've been asking all morning, Chris,
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: and that is, okay, they can't even identify what is
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: quote unquote unlawful, and I step back from this current
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: issue the slot can you know pronouncement with the other Democrats,
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: and that started this conversation, and I think it's a
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: worthy discussion to engage in because the question of lawful
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: when it comes to the use of military force is
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: one that remains open now. I mean, for me, the
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: Constitution says declaration of war period, end of story. There's
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: nothing in there called a War Powers Resolution which was passed,
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: and I know that that gives them some apparent flexibility.
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: We could argue all day long about whether even that
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: is constitutional, but that hasn't been used to provide Trump
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: with the authorization to drop the bombs at least right
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: now on ships. I anyway, I don't mind the discussion
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: to talk about lawful and unlawful when it comes to
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: the use of military force. It's just something that I
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: think should be used only only only when we are
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: I think under attack six twenty six and what does
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: it mean to be under attack? Chris? Thank you so much.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: Safe travels man. I hope you enjoy yourself in Florida
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: and you have a wonderful, wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.
• 56:50

• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: Aurora man now facing an attempted murder charge after driving
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: into another man after a crash this passed week. According
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: to Indiana State Police, troopers from the Sales Post, alongside
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: deputies from the Ripley County Sheriff's Office and Jefferson County
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: Sheriff's Officer, responded to the crash on US four to

  Speaker 1: twenty one near Michigan Road. Jefferson County. Troopers found the

  Speaker 1: driver of a ninety one Chevy truck, forty six year
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: old Larry Webster. The second rear ended another vehicle while
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: traveling northbound on US four twenty one. After the other
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: driver exited his vehicle, Webster allegedly intentionally struck the vehicle
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: a second time and struck the driver who was standing
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: next to the vehicle. Webster then fled the scene in
• 1:01:42

  Speaker 1: fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: talk two pound five fifty on eighteen T phones. I'm
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: a big proponent of cash. I find it a great
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: way of managing finances. If you, you know, set yourself
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: an allocated limit, you withdraw some cash at the beginning
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: of the week, and you use that to fund your purchases.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: It's built in budget control. You've limited the amount of
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: money it's in your pocket. Credit cards. I know how
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: easy it is to grab a credit card and just
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: buy something. So it's just a way that I, throughout
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: my wife, have tried to manage my finances. So I
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: still I am a big fan of cash these days.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: The other component of it is and I'm not paranoid.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think really big brother is watching me in
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: the nineteen eighty four cents, although it's easy to come
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: to that conclusion these days, but well, you know, I don't.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: I really don't like the idea of credit card companies
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: just assuming or you know, compiling all of this data
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: on what I buy and don't buy. You know, my
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: second amendment, loving friends, is special designation for when you
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: use your credit card at a lawful business that sells
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: firearms and related products and services. You know, why do
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: they need to know that? So just a little extra point.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: But I like the cash, and I don't like places
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: that don't take cash. I mean, read your currency for
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: all debts public and private. It is legal tender. So
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: I kind of like this thing going on. Ohio. We well,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: if the legislators passed what this called the currency Access
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: to spend here. Obviously cash currency access to spend here.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: That would require businesses and government offices to accept cash
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: for payments up to five hundred dollars. I don't know
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: why the cap is there. The bill will require businesses
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: and government entities to provide at least one point of
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: sale location that accepts cash whatever, as long as they
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: accept cash. Also bans them from charging those using cash
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: for a transaction at a higher price than those using
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: other payment methods, and I found that actually laughable. The
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: businesses have to pay a percentage of the transaction to
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: the credit card companies, so you know they're losing out
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: on to a certain degree if they accept credit cards.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: So the idea that they might charge you more for
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: using cash kind of mix just just makes that absurd.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: I had lunch with my mom over the weekend and
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: then we were at a small little Greek place over
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: on the West side and shivvy it real nice place,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: and they give you a discount for paying cash in
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: amount of a little over a dollar on our small tab,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: So I liked that anyway. O High State Representative Dave
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: Thomas behind this. He introduced it its House Bills five
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: point fifty four he said, It's simple. Cash is the
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: basis for business in America. Our taxpayers should always have
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: the ability to use cash in their daily lives. I
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: hear from residents who may not trust virtual payment options
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: or just prefer to use physical cash.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 8: Me.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: This bill balances the needs of government and businesses to
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: be efficient with the ability to still rely on physical currency. Yeah,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: and you can still use just work them me here
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: talking about the power going off, and the last segment
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: about the people waking up these global war alarm is
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: waking up to the reality that oh okay, yeah, well
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: we need regular, always running power. Doesn't matter where it
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: comes from. If the electricity goes off, we got a
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: problem on our hands. We being the elected officials worrying
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: about their jobs, You and I worrying about how cold
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: it is outside. We don't want windmills and solar panels
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: providing the basis for our life. Literally, But if the
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: power does go out, I can take my cash and
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: I can go someplace and buy stuff with it. You
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: can't do that with a credit card if the powers off.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: Can you just an extra wrinkle in this? Apparently, Target, Walmart,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: and Costco are moving towards self checkout methods that don't
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: accept cash, And of course, I'm sure you've run into
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: this in many occasions. I've been to the Krugger and
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: I've seen those you know, self checkout aisles where you
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: must use a credit card. There's a little cash thing
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: right there, but it apparently is inoperable the most times,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: or maybe it's not operable at all by design. So
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: what say you about cash as an option? And I
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: appreciate businesses and their ability to have some flexibility when
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: it comes to how they want to run their business.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: Nobody is more profound believer in the rights of businesses
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: to decide their practices than me. And I think refusing
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: cash in yours not to the business's benefit because it's
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: just one more payment option that is available to there
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: would be customers. But the currency is legal tender for
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: all debts, public and private. I'm going to hang my
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: hat on that from a legal perspective, and I would
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: encourage businesses to continue to honor cash for the transactions.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts, maybe you want to deal with that cash.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: I don't like that. It's just in this Well, I'll
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: go back to the Orwellian world in which we live
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: and in the massive accumulation of all this data about
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: you the individual. Just depriving them of one more method
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: just puts a smile on my face. Six forty five
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: fifty five kc DE talk station more coming up before

• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: even the food stands. All right, Well, I'm not going
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: to any of those places anyway. Tech Friday, We're gonna
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: do it on Tuesday tomorrow. One of the great things
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: about tomorrow, We've got a great show lined up Tech
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: Tuesday with Dave Hatter, Have not to get scammed on
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: Black Friday and cool tech gadgets and gifts this year
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: two of the topics. We're gonna have Congressman More and
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: Davidson on tomorrow. Bring him account from the Hudson Ins
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: to Latest Energy Policy Charged Conversation Brigham's podcast. I recommend
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: you listen to that one. We'll get the end. It's
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: good with Bright Barton News and the Daniel Davis Deep Dives.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: So we've got a full show tomorrow which I'm looking
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: forward to. But it is Black Friday. And since Dave
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: Hatter's gonna be talking about some cool tech gadget, sounds
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: like stuff he doesn't object to. You know, parents really
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: need to watch out for artificial intelligence toys. There was
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: an advisory issued by a group out there, an advocacy
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: group called fair Play, warning you parents against buying artificial
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: intelligence toys for the children. This advisory endorsed by more
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: than one hundred and fifty child development and digital safety experts.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: AI toys, they say, are chatbots that are embedded in
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: everyday children's toys like plus these dolls, action figures, or
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: kids robots, and use artificial intelligence technology designed to communicate
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: like a trusted friend and mimic human characteristics and emotions.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: And they gave a bunch of examples, a bunch of
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: toys that I'm not familiar with, but they're all out there,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: and the more and more, these toy makers are going
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: to be incorporating AI into the toys, and they market
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: these to children as young as infants, which is scary stuff. Now,
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: recently there's a lawsuit five you ma, we have heard
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: about a fourteen year old committed suicide after engaging with
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: an artificial intelligence entity out there that triggered suicidal thoughts.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: We'll see how the litigation works out on that. But
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: some frightening stuff revealed by this particular advocacy group one
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: page advisory a bunch of different reasons why you should
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: not indulge your children with AI toys. They're typically powered
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: by the same intelligence that has already harmed children, which
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: we have these suits about, we have all these reporting about.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: They suggest the toys prey on children's trusts, disrupt healthy
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: relationships and the ability to build resilience, invade family privacy
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: by collecting sensitive data, and displace key creative and learning activities.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: Accord to the advisory. You know, because when children play
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: with a standard Teddy Bear, it's pointed out they use
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: their imagination and engage in pretend play, supporting critical foundational development.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: But artificial intelligence substitutes that your kid becomes basically a
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: mindless entity absorbing this back and forth communication designed to
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: build your child's trust, and may end up sending them
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: off in some crazy direction. And we've got lots of
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: illustrations of that crazy direction. After collecting private details about
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: family and children, the advisory said, AI toy companies can
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: use all of this intimate data to make their AI
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: systems more lifelike, responsive, and addictive, allowing them to build
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: a relationship with the child and ultimately sell products and services. Well,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: you hope it's only ultimately designed to sell product and services.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: All that's nefarious in and of itself. Your children do
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: not have the educational and you know, foundational ability to
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: cope with this. This isn't an adult sitting and you know,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: using logic and reason going, well, I can see through
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: this crap. You know, they're just trying to sell me
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: a product. Children don't have that. Rachel Franz, director of
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: Fairplace Young Children Thrive Offline Program, companion AI is already
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: harm teams. Stuffing that same technology and acute kid friendly
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: toys exposes even younger children to risk beyond what we
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: currently comprehend. She said, it's ridiculous that these toys are
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: unregulated and being marketed to families with the promise of safety,
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: learning and friendship promises that have no evidence behind them,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: while mounting evidence shows that similar technology can do real harm,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: just suggesting the risk is simply too great. Let your
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: children develop their minds without this AI involvement. It's bad
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: enough we give them smartphones at a young age, but
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: when you have artificial intelligence telling children to do really
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: kind of bizarre things. And there's been some crazy stories
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: about this, notably when kids commit Suicidekids who are on
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: life's psychological margins obviously are at a greater risk of
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: being impacted by this. So it's Black Friday coming up.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: Do the responsible thing you've got young children. Maybe get
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: them the plain old Teddy Bear and not the AI
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: teddy Bear. It'd be good for him in the long run.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: Maybe Dave Hatter will be talking about this. I know
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: we talked about the Internet of Things devices all the time,
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: and I can't imagine Dave Hatter embracing this as a
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: great concept. Buying them that is for your children. Embracing
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: that is a great concept for your child's development. Be
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: wary out there. Six stifty five. Don't go away. We
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: got Christopher smith and coming up after the top of
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: the air news at seven twenty with the Smither event.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: I'll take phone calls between now and then, and I'll
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: be right back after the news seven oh six here
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: at fifty five k ror CD talk station. That's something
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: you want to talk about, you feel free to call me.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: Joe Strecker on vacation today, Sean McMahon behind the board
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: building phone calls, making sure everything's well oiled, and looking
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: forward to Christopher Smithman coming up at seven twenty. I
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: always look forward to hearing Christopher on the program for
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: the Smither Van, and I don't know what he wants
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: to talk about today. I don't even know what the
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: topics are with Brian James Day, although I did exchange
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: emails with Brian Sincetreker is gone. He's going to be
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: shooting me the topics before eight oh five, one hour
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: from now, when we do money Monday. Uh care see cares.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: We're going to hear from the Cincinni VA's Chris Clue today.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: Apparently they've got a couple of new outpatient clinics and
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: an eye center that are opening. We're going to find
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: out about those locations. What they are for, and of
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: course get an update on veterans enrollment of the VA.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: Take advantage of everything you earned. It is the right
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: thing to do, some great medical care. And we've got
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: some good people at the Cincinni VA, so love supporting
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: the American veteran Just remind you you got benefits out there,
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: so the details coming up at the end of the
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: next hour. Feel free to call five one, three, seven,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: to three top pound fix fifty on AT and T phones.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: Remember to Mar's lineup, including a special Tuesday edition of
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: Tech Friday, we'll call it Tech Tuesday tomorrow, plus Warren
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: Davidson among others on the show tomorrow. Okay, I know
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: you got this whole thing swirling around Representative Marjorie Taylor
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: Green's resignation from Congress, and of course she had a
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: bit of a spat with Donald Trump. And you know,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: to my always Trump thumbs up listening audience, in this
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: particular case, I don't think Trump's really his response was
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: necessarily appropriate. Tends to fly off the handle a little bit,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: but one of the things she was talking about is,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: you know, he's emphasis on foreign policy. He's not paying
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: attention to domestic issues. And I know he promised to
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: bring that inflation. Ask yourself, how can any present president
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: bring down inflation? You just wave one. The printing press
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: is still running. You thank the Bideny administration for plumbing
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: in trillions and trillions and trillions of additional dollars into
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: the economy. A lot of it went to fraud, waste,
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: and abuse, which is always in number one in my
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: mind in terms of what Congress should start with. Eliminate
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: the possibility of fraud, waste, and abuse. Well, in the
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: area of healthcare is one of the things she's critical
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: about the Trump administration. We got to do something to
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: fix the problem with healthcare. Yeah, I'll agree with that. Well,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: apparently the Trump administration is supposed to roll out a
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: new plan that's aimed at curbing rising healthcare costs. What's
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: in this one Healthcare Price Cuts Act. This proposed legislation
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: again could come out as early as today. It would
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: prevent premium spikes under Obamacare. We only have a general
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: framework on this apparently today, as early as today, we're
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: gonna hear from Trump, doctor Mendment Oz and the Centers
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: for Medicare and Medicaid services corner of the officials. Scott Mescent,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary, was on the meet the press over the
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: weekend yesterday in fact, saying that there's gonna be announcement
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: on this about tackling healthcare costs. Drum roll, maestro, what's
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: gonna be John's proposed legislation again, the Healthcare Price cuts
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: Actor Court of both White House and other officials would
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: seek to end what they referred to as quote surprise
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: premium hikes generated by the ACA. Now, the painful reality
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: of Affordable Care Act is it's not affordable and it's
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: becoming like the insurer of last resort. Like any insurance
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: company in this particular case is not a private insurance
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: company which has got all kinds of rules and regulations
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: about how many how much money they must keep in
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: reserves to pay claims. And if the reserve money is
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: going down and the claims experience is going up, you
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: got to raise premiums to cover the payment of claims. Well,
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: is kind of turned on its head with Obamacare. So
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: you have the American taxpayer shouldering the burden on all this. Well,
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: it seems to be under the health insurance companies get
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: the premium dollars, they process and pay the claims. Bottom
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: line is, this is why the price is going up.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: Everybody who's sick goes on Obamacare, and when you have
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: insurance payments covered by the American taxpayer, it hides it.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: Remember the subsidies that drove us to shutting the government down, right,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: those are subsidies that we're going to people making more
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: than sixty five hundred dollars a year. The people who
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: make less than that don't get any claim or don't
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: get any have to pay any premium. So one of
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: the things that I like that I think is a
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: good idea in this it would eliminate what they call
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: zero premium subsidies. Well, if you aren't paying any premium whatsoever,
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: but are receiving the benefits of Obamacare, this invites fraud.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: The fraud that I mentioned before. They call them ghost beneficiaries.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: So if you require some at least small minimum payments,
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: it acts as a way of verifying eligibility for those
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: of receiving benefits. So a fake person or a computer
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: generated AI type of individual who's claiming benefits, or maybe
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: some illegal immigrant more likely they're at least going to
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: have to write a check to the government to make
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: a premium payment, even if it's a small one, just
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: one little extra check in there. Plan also contains what
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: they're calling a deposit program. This one's a little puzzling
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: to me. It would incentivize lower premium options on the
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: Obamacare exchange for individuals who downgrade coverage. The difference in
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: costs would be deposited into a health savings account funded
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: with taxpayer dollars. No, that's more government involvement. How do
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: we get here anyway? Government involvement. That's what the sixty
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: two to five subsidy when it went away, you had
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: to look at the premium. You're actually exposed to the
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: reality of what it costs to operate Obamacare. Those dollars
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: were being fund being paid out. It isn't as if
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: there was no premium that Obamacare just suddenly became free. No,
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: the money was continuing to dig us a hole in
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: terms of the federal government making the payments. The system
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: is broken. This is why the one thing that I
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: like that the Trump administration had thrown out at least casually.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: If this money is in fact going to be coming
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: from the federal government, landing in the pocket of the
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: American taxpayer, with of course some obligation that that money
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: be used to buy health insurance or pay health claims.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: That would force competition. If all the insurance companies that
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: provide medical insurance from the biggest two, you know, the smallest,
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: had to compete against each other and buy for those
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: dollars that are in the hands of the individual, you
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: can see a situation where capitalism works, the laws of
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: supply and the man work, and of course there's going
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: to be a big supply of medical insurance companies out
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: there looking to get your business versus someone else. You
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: lower premiums to deal with that. At least that's the
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: way it's supposed to work in a free market economy.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: So if you've got a mechanism, if you have a
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: proposal to deal with the rapidly increasing cost of health
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: care in this country, what do you think it would be.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: How can the federal government control the price of health care?
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: Or we're going to go full on Zorhan MUNDHAMI and
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: just say it will be no more than this, We
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: will not have a premium spike in excess of this.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: You can say it, but does it change the underlying
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: dynamic that drove the price of medical insurance up. In
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: other words, the claims experience the increasing cost of medical
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: care generally speaking, and how do we get to the
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: providers and lower the price of medical care. Say, in hospitals,
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: they seem to have free reian to do whatever they want.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: Market forces don't really seem to apply to a hospital.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: And how they derive or come up with some price
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: for anything you do? It commercials for affordable imaging services
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: there for a long time, and they only charge a
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: few hundred dollars for something that'll cost you thousands of
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: dollars in a hospital imaging department. Why are they charging
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: thousands of dollars in the imaging department medical insurance they
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: negotiate the price. So it's a system colossally screwed up.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: And I think the Trump administration as well as everybody
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: else could use some advice or guidance on how to
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: best curb the costs because as of right now, I mean,
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: we're not going to get anto relief from this anytime soon.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: I cannot imagine it. And going back to my problems
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: earlier this morning and dealing with this whole is it
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: lawful what's lawful, what's unlawful when it comes to striking
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: the Venezuela or any other country with military hardware. At
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: some point, you know Congress is going to have to act.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: Does anybody think Congress is equipped? In this divided government?
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: We have to fix or solve or otherwise offer rational
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: solutions to the healthcare situation. We have the problem we
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: have with healthcare. Democrats are full on socializing medicine. That's
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: more government, more fraud waste than abuse, and not raining
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: in premiums. Somewhere the answer lies in the private sector.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: I'm convinced it's just how do we get back to
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: private sector? I think anybody my age remembers when you
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: know your pediatrician would show up at the house and
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: give you your your injection in your living room, do
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: house calls, and it didn't cost your parents that much
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: money at all. Could we ever go back to that?
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: Probably not. But somewhere we went off the rails, and
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: we need to fix it. Seven sixteen fifty five Krocite

• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: the Smitham and family gather around and enjoying each other's
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: fellowship and some great times on Thanksgiving. You have something
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: good plan.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty years, thirty five years or so, we've been
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: doing the same things brother in thirty five years, and
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 2: we get together with my oldest brother. So our whole
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: family does not get together for Thanksgiving. People are in
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: different places, and so I won't have all my kids.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: They have their significant others or other things that they're doing.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: But I have some of them. And that's all cool, man,
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: you know, It's just a part of life and rotating.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: But I've always been at these thirty five years, I've
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: been with my oldest brother, and so that's what we'll do.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: We'll sit down and have some turkey.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: That's great.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: I want to share. I want to share with you brother,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: as I wish happy Thanksgiving to you and everybody. What
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: happened in Chicago when they were putting up a Christmas tree.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to tie it to Cincinnati. Okay, we
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: as a city in Cincinnati are moving towards Chicago if
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: we're not already there per capita, per population, as far
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: as violence is concerned. But they are just too many
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: things that are paralleling here that I just want to
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: raise some attention. You can't even go into the heart
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: of Chicago with the raising of their Christmas tree and
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: not deal with a mass shooting. That's when you know
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: your city is completely off the rails. You have a
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: democratic mayor, you have a democratic council, you have a
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: democratic school board, right, and you have criminals in Chicago
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: that are being cradled by the electeds, and they are
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: neutering and have been neutering their police department with the reimagination,
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: with the defund the cops, and what you have is
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: a city that is completely out of control. And the
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: saddest thing is that those who are experiencing the violence
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: are African Americans. African Americans are being murdered or shot
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 2: or made We don't hear about those people who are paralyzed, right.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: We don't hear about the person who was shot and
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: had to be put back together like the bonic man.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: I used to watch that as a kid. We don't
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: hear about those people. We just hear about those who
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: are dead. But we don't understand the horrific life that
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: people are living in these urban cores. And it is
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: coming and has arrived at the doorsteps of Cincinnati. I
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: continue to wake up and hear in our OTR, in
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: the core of our city shootings, a mass shooting by
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: the FBI four or more. We had three shot in OTR.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: We were one short from the definition of a mass
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: shooting in our downtown right by the same bar that
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: we all know is a problem that city council and
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: this mayor and this manager refuse to deal with. And
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: the people that are dying around us are African American
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: males who are being murdered every single or every other
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: day or every weekend in our core, in Cincinnati and
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: places like Chicago. I would guess that six hundred people
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: have been shot in Chicago or in this year as
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: we close out the year. Imagine that. Think about your
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 2: high school graduating class and think about six hundred people
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: being shot in one year. These are extraordinary blood baths
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: that are happening in our core. And to have this mayor,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: who happens to be African American to stand up, look
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 2: people on the eye in Chicago and say everything is cool,
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: everything is all right. I got it under control. He
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: has nothing under control. He does not care about African
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: American life. I am concerned about this mayor and this council.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: My voice will continue the weigh in that they don't
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: don't care about the violence, because if they cared about it,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: they'd be doing something different. They wouldn't be holding and
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: coddling our cops. They let them do their jobs, They
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: let them do proactive policing. They wouldn't be talking about, oh,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: we cannot do community based policing and proactive policing at
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: the same time, when every time I turn on my
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: dog on a TV, I'm looking at almost a mass
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: shooting every single weekend in our downtown. Here's the closure
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: closing on this one. Guess what that area not. Everybody
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: overwhelmingly voted for this council and this mayor in OTR.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: So guess what. Elections have consequences. And this is what
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: you get where you continue to vote for these kind
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 2: of mayors, these kind of councils, these kind of school boards.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: You have failing schools. You have a city that is
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: violently being coddled by the criminals. The criminals are running.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: They're more worried about the criminals then they are the
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: law abiding citizens, whether you're black or white. Wake up
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati and wake up Chicago. But if you continue to
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: vote the same way you continue to vote. Guess what
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: look in the mirror, Take your turkey out, eat your
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: Thanksgiving and don't complain. This is what you'll wanted.
• 1:30:19

  Speaker 1: enjoy my conversation with Christopher Smith and the Smith VNA
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: is what we call the segment every Monday, beginning at
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: seven to twenty. Game for a few and Christopher, whatever
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: else is on your mind. I got a couple of
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: questions this this three shot outside the over the Rhine
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: bar of the weekend, and of course this has been
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: a real problem. The name of the establishment Privy on
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: Elm Street. It's been identified as having noise complaints and
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: prior shootings outside the establishment. I guess I have to ask,
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm a little reluctant personally to blame the
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: establishment because you know, I'm guessing it's operating during lawful
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: business hours. It is not doing something illegal by way
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: of providing you know, unlawful substances or you know, a criminal.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on in there, but is
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: it the bar that's the problem. Seems to me it's
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: the people that either hang out in the bar and
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: then go out and commit crimes after they leave it,
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: or the people hanging outside the bar and maybe not
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: even going in that are causing the problems. But I mean,
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: are we right in looking at the bar as the
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: source of the problem or is it really And I
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: think it more fundamentally boils down to it's people that
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: are the problem.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: We are right to look at the bar problem. They
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 2: have a responsibility to hire off duty details outside of
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 2: that bar at eighty five or one hundred dollars an hour,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 2: whatever they need to do to make sure if they
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 2: are attracting that population with whatever they're doing, they have
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 2: a responsibility to make sure everybody around there is safe.
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 2: So whatever you're doing, right, the problem is if you've
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: got to hire three or four officers out there, but no,
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 2: they're not going to do that because they don't want
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: their margins. They don't want to pay two or three
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars whatever it takes in order to make sure
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: that people are saying so, yes, I think they are respired.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: I don't think they say, well, they left my bar,
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 2: and whatever they were doing in the bar they go
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 2: out of the bar is no longer my responsibility. I
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: want to see heavy off duty details. I would have
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: already had a plan in place with the establishment. I
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 2: would have voted for it on the floor of council.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 2: So we sat, we met, We put together a community
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: plan and action plan, which at the top of it
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: would be hiring off duty details. Wouldn't matter to me
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 2: whether they were Cincinnati pl police or sheriffs to make
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 2: sure that as their bar let out, I was safe.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 2: There's so many people that have invested so much money
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: around there, they're living there, those are their homes. That
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: is what the city council wanted, so the people are
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: pouring out and then shots are fired. You're in your bedroom,
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: or you're hosting somebody in your living room, you're watching
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 2: and bullets are flying through your dog on window. So yes,
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 2: I think that that owner, whoever it is, I don't
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: know who it is. I'm not connected. I'm not even
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: trying to find out at this point. I'm just sharing
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: with you. City council and this mayor continue to have
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: the same problem over and over again. And I bet you,
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 2: if you and I look into this establishment, in some
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: way they're connected to this council.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: Oh really, I don't know that.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: I bet you in some way they are connected through
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 2: some type of relationship financially making contributions to the campaign.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know this for sure. I'm just saying I've
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: been around a long time. Guy. You don't have an
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: establishment like this where you constantly have the same problem
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 2: every single weekend and then all of a sudden, city
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 2: council and the mayor are saying nothing about it. There's
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 2: something going on politically between these Democrats and whoever owns
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: this establishment. They're all connected. It's one big happy family,
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: is my speculation. And they care more about the criminals.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 2: The owner and not the people that are living down there.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: Brian Thomas, that's the ugly truth.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it just seems strange that, you know, how is
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: it that this particular establishment is the one that draws
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: the criminal element?
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't know, brother, It's not my bars,
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: not my establishment. But guess what. All the people in OTR,
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 2: not all of them, voted for this council. But it's
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: very blue. And we go back and say elections have consequences.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: They were complaining about this before the election. They went
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 2: in overwhelmingly as a community and voted for this mayor,
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: this council and this manager anddministration. And you get what
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 2: you vote for. It's not that I'm upset or frustrated
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: by it. It's your life. Yeah. And so if you
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 2: want to go down and continue to vote for the
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: same people, guess what, you're going to get the same result.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: All right, But since wee man, here's what I want
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: to talk about. Go ahead, go ahead.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: Now, I'm just going to say, since we don't have
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: an upcoming election, we got to wait a little bit
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: for that next one to show up and give people
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: an alternative. Whether or not they choose a different path
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: remains to be seen because we've been down this road before.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: But there is something that these citizenry can do in
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: spite of who they voted for, is organize and do
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: like a Hyde Park Uprising City Council does one thing.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: The residents of Hyde Park say, damn it, there is
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: no way we're going to abide by this zoning thing.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: We're going to get a petition on the ballot. We're
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: going to go after them. That seemed to have worked.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: So you know, if you're really worried and angry about crime,
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: elevating that to that kind of level, maybe the way
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: to go and force the administration to do something the
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: otherwise might not do. That seems to be the only
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: recourse right now.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: Christopher Well, I would say that after the election, that's
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 2: all they have. They had an election, right yeah, and
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: that is where the that's where you actually do that work.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: What they did was they affirmed the direction of the
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 2: mayor and the council and said we like the direction.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: You don't get eighty five ninety percent of the vote
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 2: in an area and walk away going I'm doing a
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: bad job. The mayor like raising your children. If you continue,
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: you say, hey man, I'm going to reward the bad behavior,
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 2: which is what they did. The child continues to do
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: exactly what they were doing, and so there's no motivation.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 2: This mayor is is what we call in the college world,
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: a tenured member of the institution. He's never going to
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 2: run for mayor again. He got four years. He is
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 2: termed out. He can do whatever the heck he wants.
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 2: It makes him even more dangerous because he's not even
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 2: thinking about the city. He wasn't thinking about it four
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: years ago and he's not really not thinking about it now.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: Let me say this to you, brother, these Epstein files
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 2: nationally that are coming out. I'm a person as an independent.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: You're changing topic. So let's just pause because we're out
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: of a past the break. We'll let you start on
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: that when we come back. More with Christopher Smithman on Fire.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: He is at seven thirty six right now. If you
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: have KERCD talk station, this is.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 6: Fifty five karc an iHeartRadio station LBL long.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: Seven thirty nine. Here about kerr CD talk station. Brian
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: Thomas with Christopher Smithman. I mean erupt you as you're
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: getting ready to go on another train of thought. But
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: I thought since the subject was moving over to the
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: Epstein file. So I did just go ahead and take
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: that much need to break, Christopher, so you have the
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: floor back, have at it, my friend.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: Look, man, anybody who's out having sex with minor children,
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: you're a pedophile, yep. And I want to know who
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: you are. I don't care what your political affiliation is.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: I don't care how old you were when you did it.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: When you're having sex with twelve and thirteen and fourteen
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 2: year old girls and boys on an island, you're sick, right,
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: And we've got to own this as a community, and
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: we want to out anybody and everybody. It doesn't matter
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: how much money they have, or what their power is
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: or what they're doing. And so what you see on
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: both sides of the aisle, Republicans and Democrats are out
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 2: there trying to protect the elites. That is what I
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: believe is happening. And so I'm not speculating who's on
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: the list, but I can tell you, as the Democrats
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 2: were saying, all we've got to have this released, I
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 2: want to say a couple of things about it. So
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: we're real clear. President Biden and his administration could have
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: released this information during his term YEP. Period and he didn't.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 2: He didn't do it for a reason. So this outcry
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 2: by the Democrats is all fake. Right, But guess what
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 2: I think the the Trump administration did the rope dope
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: on on the on the Democrats saying, okay, you guys,
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to, I don't know
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 2: this for sure. But Epstein was a Democrat. Epstein was
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 2: a financer of the Democratic machine. That's where he spent
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 2: his money public right, So you're gonna find disproportionately most
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 2: likely his friends are what democrats. The first person when
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 2: the Epstein vote happened in Congress was Larry Summers. Who
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 2: is Larry Summers. Larry Summers is the former treasurer under
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: Clinton and Obama, very powerful person, former president of Harvard
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 2: University and current faculty member at Harvard University. And he
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 2: sat on some AI board, on the on some publicly
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 2: traded company. As soon as that vote happened, Larry Summers
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 2: resigned a Democrat. Notice how the major news outlets, whether
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: it's CNN or MSNBC, really didn't deal with it. Right,
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: We're no different than Russia. Our media isn't telling this truth.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 2: They hide information in politics is not just what you say,
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 2: it's what you don't say. So there are a lot
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 2: of people right now who are listening to you and
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: I talk or who is Larry Summers. Larry Summers resigned
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 2: related to the Epstein files. Yes he did. Harvard has
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: launched an investigation to try to figure out what his
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 2: involvement was with Epstein and why he said I'm gonna sell.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: Didn't It wasn't like his information came out as soon
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 2: as the vote happened that I'm out. Now. This is
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 2: a guy who's been very vocal on CNN, on MSNBC.
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 2: He's been going after the Trump administration for a year,
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: for the last ten years, he's the first person to resign.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: I'm sharing with everybody, hold your power. Let's wait and
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 2: see as a public no matter whether you're a Democrat
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 2: or Republican, please don't make this partisan. We have got
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: to know what happened with these pedophiles who are out
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 2: having sex with twelve and thirteen and fourteen year old girls.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: This is something that we deserve to know. I want
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 2: to know.
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: I agree completely, and look what the discharge petition is.
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: It almost was completely unanimous across both the House and
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: the Senate. When it finally pushed came to shove. Everybody,
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: with the exception of one representative, voted to release the
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: damned documents. Interesting question for you, Christopher Smithman, what the
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: hell's with Trump changing his mind? You're right, Democrats had
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: four years to release these documents. They obviously didn't want
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: to do it. We all kind of wondered, I wonder
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: what's in them that the Democrats are afraid to release them?
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: Pivot over to Trump campaigning on releasing them, only to say, nah,
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: there's nothing there. DJ looked at it. There's nothing there,
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: there's no list, there's nothing to see, there's nothing to release.
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: Where did that come from?
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 2: And of course I think that he I think he
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 2: has friends that are on that on that list. He's
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 2: a New Yorker, he's a New Yorker. Wouldn't he have
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 2: known probably some of those people.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't you have known that when he was saying he
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: wanted to release him I mean, his buddies calling her.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: I'm saying quick campaigning on releasing these documents, you know,
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: damn well, my name's in there. You're gonna get me
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: and brought in a controversy. And I never touched the
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 1: fourteen year old or whatever.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the reality of it is they didn't know whether
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 2: he was going to be elected, and so many people
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 2: didn't even see the landslide that was coming in the
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 2: last election. So he's out there saying I'm gonna do this,
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do this, and then
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 2: he got elected. And so I don't know all of
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 2: the details around it, but my speculation is that some
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 2: of his allies are on this list, and they're Democrats,
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 2: are Republicans, and both Biden and Trump were trying to
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 2: protect the list. What I want to also say, and
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go into this with Trump and just say,
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know who this representative Marjorie Taylor Green is,
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 2: and the woman who was saying, hey, I want these
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 2: Epstein files to come out, I just know that she
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 2: was an ally of his. It was something she was saying.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 2: And I don't understand why President Trump then turns and
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 2: starts attacking her. I think that's where you're getting. That
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 2: was a part of the narrative, right, and so you
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 2: try to destroy her, you say all these horrible things
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 2: about her. She's been loyal to you. So if somebody
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 2: stands up and they're loyal to Trump, and Trump can
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 2: just turn on a dime and just say, no, you've
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 2: lost your way. I'm going to try to destroy you.
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that is about his emotional intelligence,
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 2: but I can tell you it is incredibly frustrating for
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 2: me for any president. Look, whoever gets elected, whether it's Obama,
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 2: whether it's Clinton, you know, whether it is a Trump,
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 2: whether it's Bush, I'm voting for America. I'm voting for
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 2: our executive to be successful in this world. Right. This
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 2: world is very ugly. We've got some bad characters out here,
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 2: and I'm rooting for America, whether it's a Democrat or
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 2: Republican in that office. I don't understand this president at times,
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: with his emotional intelligence so low, that he's so emotionally
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 2: charged that whatever comes to that brain of his, he
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 2: just starts opening up his mouth. And whether you're a
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 2: supporter of Trump or not, be call this president out.
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 2: Would he lacked discipline with that mount?
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: I agree. He went after Congress and Massey again too,
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: the same thing, beloved Congress from Massey folks in northern Kentucky.
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, they keep voting him in regardless of what
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 1: Trump says, I mean Donald Trump spends and these other millionaires,
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: billionaires spending all kinds of money trying to primary Thomas Massey.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 1: Why because Thomas Massey was behind the discharge petition, among others.
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's at least on solid constitutional ground with
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: what he says. Is there uniformity in the Republican Party,
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: of course not. Is there uniformity in the Democrat Party
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: of course not. They don't even know which direction they
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: want to go. There's a lot of different stripes within
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: each party. And you know, I would argue that Marjorie
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: Taylor Green I think had some sound points she was making.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: I'm a little upset about him focusing on foreign policy.
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: I'd like for him to be here and focus on
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: domestic issues. I was behind releasing the Epstein files, and
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: that apparently is what set Trump off, and he had
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 1: some outrages and outlandish statements about her. And I agree
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: with the points you're making on that. But does he
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: expect one hundred percent fidelity among the Republicans for the
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: Strump specific agenda? And I think that's what he is
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: demonstrating by going after til Marjorie Taylor Green, going after
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 1: Congress from asking others promising the primary them if they
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: get out of line.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: Yo.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: This feeds into that whole dictatorial narrative the Democrats are peddling.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's a good look. Honestly, I don't.
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 2: And I'm a girl dad. You know, four boys, rub girl?
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 2: If this was one of my babies, right, I want
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: to get to the bottom of it. I want people
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 2: to go to jail. And I think sometimes as men, right,
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 2: we missed the point of Marjorie Taylor Green is a woman.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 2: She's saying, I want to get to the bottom of it.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 2: She understands this innately as a woman. This is what
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 2: I believe. I'm obviously not a woman. Trump needs to
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 2: learn to take advice from everybody around him. He campaigned
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 2: on it. He said, this is what I'm going to do.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 2: She took him literally on his face and did not
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 2: understand why he was going in about face about these
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 2: Epstein foulets. But ultimately, guess what happened. He had to
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 2: submit to the power of the people who probably inundated
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 2: his office, saying what in the heck is going on? Right?
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 2: So now he's shutting his mouth about it. But the
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 2: woman has already been harmed because she's been saying, I'm
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 2: gonna primary you. He's been saying all these outlandish themes
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 2: about her, and I'm saying, if you're a Trump supporter,
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 2: you cannot support blindly any leader. You've got to be
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 2: able to call him out when they're wrong and they're
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 2: off step. And I say, right here, he was wrong,
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 2: he was off step, And I'm just so frustrated with
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 2: why his emotional intelligence is so low. Why can't he
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 2: just preside as the president. You're the president of the
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 2: free world.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: Act like it, Christopher Smitherman. Always enjoy your thoughts and comments.
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 1: Agree with you on this one completely A little embarrassed.
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 1: But let us see if we can't find, uh, well,
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 1: a little greater sanity in.
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 2: Those follow me people can follow me brother on at
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 2: vote Smitherman right. I want to stay connected. People who
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 2: are listening, they can follow me there. I'm going to
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 2: continue to put my voice out there so people can hear.
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 2: And obviously, Brian, happy Thanksgiving to you and your family,
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 2: and thanks for giving me a voice.
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 1: Brother, love hearing from you. I'm happy to provide the
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 1: voice for you, and I look forward to next Monday.
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 1: In another edition of this particular segment. Enjoy your thanksgiving,
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 1: much love to you and your family. It's coming up

• 1:49:31
  Speaker 1: interesting topics to talk with him. Middle class buckling under
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: almost five years of persistent inflation. There's that I word again.
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 1: That's one of the topics with Brian James coming up.

  Speaker 1: Seven fifty three if you have Kerseite talk station. Yeah, Alan,
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know instant message. I think all this Epstein
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: STFF is just this shiny object. They're trying to distract
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 1: us from something. What do you think that might be
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: good point? Allen chaos, general chaos. I don't know it's
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: an important issue as a standalone one, but yeah, I
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: do believe you're right. It is a major distraction that's
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: going on right here in America. We're going to hear
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 1: him from Brian James after the top of the our
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: news all with Financials. Brian James question, in the middle class,
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 1: is it buckling at her almost five years persistent inflation? Probably?
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: You know, I've seen a bunch of articles about this,
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: and you're not going to get any traction with me
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: complaining about inflation, which is a worthy complaint, when part
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 1: of your complaint talks about how much your Starbucks coffee
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: has gotten. I saw one article woman complaining about meeting
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 1: her financial needs and then was grumbling about an eight
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: dollar cup of coffee at Starbucks. I know coffee's gone
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 1: through the roof for a multitude of reasons. Yes, there
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 1: are tariff implications that may increase the price, of course
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: it can, but you also have a problem with the
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 1: growing season and issues with regard to the available coffee
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 1: on the Marketplying to mankicks in regardless of tariff. So,
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 1: but are we focusing on what's truly important? And another
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: topic America's happiness at a record low? Are we just
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: using our money the wrong way? Ah? That's topic number
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: two with Brian James kind of going to a point
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: that I just made there. And then finally, is Thanksgiving
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 1: dinner actually twenty five percent less this year? As Donald
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: Trump suggests his numbers are misleading according to the headline. Anyway,
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 1: Brian James on those topics from Allworth Financial, He'll be
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: up next, and we're gonna hear from the VA. Chris
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 1: Clue is going to join the program. The KRC Care
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 1: segment at eight forty about the new two outpatient clinics
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 1: and the Eye Center where they are, what they're going
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 1: to offer, and also other benefits that you veterans can
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: get when you roll in the Cincinniva and take advantage
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: of what you earn thanks to your military service. God
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: bless the American veterans. Stick around Brian James. Up next,
• 1:51:54

• 1:52:23
  Speaker 1: week to you, mister Thomas.
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 12: And let's not start this week by talking about stuff
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 12: that happened at Peycourse Stadium unless we're gonna talk about
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 12: the Instant Classic. Not yesterday, but Friday night, between Santax
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 12: and Elder What an awesome game. I love my Santex Bombers,
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 12: but the pit is one of the awesomest places to
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 12: go see a game, only left out by the fact
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 12: that the clearview no longer exists, so you can get
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 12: a fish log and a plastic picture of Hoodie any clearview.
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 12: Tamer and we used to go there after Little League
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 12: baseball games. They buy us a picture of cooker coal
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 12: and a and at a bowl of pretzels and chips,
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 12: and the and the dads would sit around the table
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 12: and chug down pictures of beer, so memories, plastic pictures. Absolutely,
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 12: that was a great place. And you could order some
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 12: gastro and Tessina regrat for the next day. Yes, I
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 12: ended up missing it unfortunately though, because we could. We
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 12: were going to go to the game, but the weather
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 12: screwed up traffic and all that, so we ended up
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 12: up at Liberty Collective up in Liberty Township. That's another
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 12: great place to watch a game on the big screen.
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 12: They've been putting high school games on there all all
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 12: seasoned long. So if you get a chance, come up
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 12: here to Lakota East High School and give it a
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 12: watch oh starting off on a positive note and happy things.
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about the Bengals. I know,
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, although I did. The defense did
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: show up for a while there during the game, Yeah
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: they did. I was impressed. Man, they held them at
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 1: the line a couple of different times, and I kept think,
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: what's a foregone conclusion. We've got another touchdown coming our way?
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: But now so anyway, there was some positive light in
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 1: that game, but obviously a sad overall outcome. So we're
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 1: just gonna have to live with it. And we're gonna
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 1: have to live with inflation too. I don't know where
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: you want to start. I know where you got the FED.
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe not cutting the interest rate this fall. We've
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 1: got middle class buckling under persistent inflation. Maybe we should
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 1: start with that one, then segue over to whether we're
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 1: using our money the right or wrong way. But yeah,
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 1: we have persistent inflation. It's going on for years now.
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: Everything's more expensive than Brian James. How likely is it
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 1: that prices are going to be rolled back to, say,
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine at any time in the future.
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 12: Well, I wouldn't be holding our breath on that particular topic.
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 12: Mister Thomas, I don't think that's the way it works.
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 12: But yeah, So what we're seeing now is we're really
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 12: starting to see the strain of inflation. So after five
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 12: years of being the way it is, lots of middle
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 12: class households are really showing some concern about it. Headline
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 12: inflation has fallen from twenty twenty two, so we're not
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 12: at the nine percent crazy inflation that we used to be.
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 1: But it's still up right.
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 12: So the inflation doesn't generally go back to the way
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 12: it was, It just stops increasing at the same rate.
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 12: So where we did have nine percent inflation, we've dropped
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 12: back to three. We would very much appreciate if we
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 12: could get back to two percent, that would be nice,
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 12: but that's probably not in the.
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 1: Cars anytime soon.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 12: So households earning sixty six thousand to maybe two hundred
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 12: thousand or part of this survey and just lots of
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 12: them claiming that they know purchasing power has declined and
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 12: really starting to see the numbers come through in their
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 12: checking accounts.
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: Well, doesn't this serve as a moment of reflection to
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: pause and really think about whether or not this is
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: the way I've lived my life, Brian James. Do I
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: really need it now? I occasionally bend the rule and
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: give myself a little paut of the back or gift
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 1: as a consequence of my hard work, But a lot
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: of times, you know, while stand there, it's like, no,
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 1: don't need it. I don't really need to buy that.
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 1: It's an impulse by If I wait five minutes, I'm
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 1: really it's gonna clear my head. I'll move on with
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 1: my wife and I won't regret not buying whatever it
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 1: is I'm contemplating. But it's been a real check on
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: managing money over the years of my wife and I.
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: I'm lucky enough to have married a very frugal woman
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 1: who kind of goes through life the same way. Do
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 1: I really need it? The answer is not really? Then
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: you just do it out. It's like Starbucks coffee. Anytime
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 1: I read an article about someone complaining about inflation then
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 1: turns to their eight dollars a cup Starbucks, I'm sorry,
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 1: I've got no love for that. You buy aunt two
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 1: pounds of coffee at costco. Yes, it's now eighteen ninety
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 1: nine for the two pounds, but you can make fat
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: tons of coffee pots pot's worth of coffee that are
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 1: less money than the eight dollars one single cup at Starbucks.
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 1: It's just one of many things to get into my skin, Brian.
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: But then again, you choose what you want to spend
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 1: money on. But there are ways that we can all trim.
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 1: Do we need to reflect on what's important? Brian James?
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it's been a few decades really since
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 12: we've had since the country as a whole has been
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 12: really forced to choose this. But not that because we've
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 12: been so successful economically that we've many people really just
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 12: haven't been forced into that situation. And like you just raised,
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 12: you're not either, and neither am I, except that we
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 12: notice it. So you know, in the conversations I have
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 12: with my clients, you know, there's really two worlds out there.
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 12: There are people who are forced and have to cut
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 12: back and it's just the way it is, and there
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 12: are people who are just annoyed by it. It seems
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 12: like everybody is in one of two groups. And unfortunately,
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 12: we're just in a situation where the country has been
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 12: so successful economically that we can afford to get away
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 12: with it for now, and that hurts a lot of
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 12: people that are on the lower end of the economic spectrum.
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 12: Those are the ones that are getting hurt. The rest
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 12: of us are just annoyed. So be said, if you're
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 12: in that ladder group, be thankful on Thursday that that's
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 12: the case for you. If you can choose not to
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 12: do something because it annoys you that it's too expensive,
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 12: that's one thing. If you have to do it and
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 12: you have to sacrifice something else important, that is another thing.
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 1: Entirely. Well, Yeah, and your last word is the most
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 1: important thing, an operative word in the sense if it's important.
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: Very surely we are priorities about what is truly important.
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: I think are kind of out of whack. And I
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: agree with you completely for the reasons that you stayed.
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 1: We've just had it so wonderful in this country for
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 1: so long you really pretty much have to go back
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 1: to I don't know if whether it was the tech
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 1: bubble to burst and the housing bubble to burst, but
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 1: I think more fundamentally, the entire decade that was the
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventies to get to a point where things were really,
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 1: really crappy and everyone pretty much felt it, including the
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 1: house I grew up in.
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 12: Yeah, And I would say all all of the different
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 12: things that have happened. And I've mentioned this before, but
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 12: over the last say fifty years, like you mentioned, the
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 12: seventies touched everybody, not a lot of you know, you
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 12: couldn't really find corners of the economy they were doing
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 12: well Versus two thousand, in two twenty eight, and twenty
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 12: twenty two. All of those came along with crazy stock
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 12: market and economic swings, but those each one and each
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 12: one of those became a catalyst.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 12: So so two thousand and two we had the tech
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 12: bubble burst that cleaned up the tech industry and then
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 12: it went on to the great heights that we've seen now.
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 12: Two thousand and eight we saw the financial backbone of
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 12: the country almost collapse, cleaned that up and went on
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 12: to greater heights too. Twenty twenty two was the COVID pullback,
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 12: and that ended up becoming a tech boom because everybody
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 12: had to go get a second desktop worth of technology
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 12: to bring it home. All those things drove the market higher,
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 12: and I would say, I agree with you. In the
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 12: seventies that really wasn't the case. We had ten years
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 12: of stagnancy. Even if you were doing okay, it meant
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 12: you were treading water. The rest of the country was
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 12: kind of occasionally bobbing up and down below the surface.
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 12: So yeah, it's been a long time since we've had
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 12: to sacrifice. And when I look back, I feel like
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 12: the eighties and the nineties were the anomaly because really,
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 12: nothing bad, nothing crazy happened. We had twenty years worth
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 12: of solid markets, and there's I think there's a whole
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 12: generation of people who feel like that every pullback has
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 12: been since then has been a mistake, something went wrong.
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 12: But if you look back over history, that's not the case.
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 12: It's the opposite. There's usually chaos. The eighties and the
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 12: nineties were too quiet, and that led a whole generation
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 12: plus of people to think that that was the norm.
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 12: So that gave us kind of a bit of a
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 12: mistaken underpinning of what we think the economy is supposed
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 12: to be. But I believe over the last quarter century
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 12: or so, we've been reminded that it don't work.
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 1: That way all the time. Yeah, And you know, one
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 1: of the points it was made in this American Happiness
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 1: is that a record low are we just using money
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 1: the wrong way? Article that's kind of served as the
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 1: impetus for this discussion. Some degree. Anyway, and you know,
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 1: back to my complaint about Starbucks coffee. I love this
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 1: woman who's quoted in the article. You know, she cried
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 1: every day after buying a five thousand square foot house
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, and she's lamenting that, Oh, it was my
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 1: dream to have, you know, grow up in a big
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 1: house or you know, raised my family in a big house. Well,
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 1: maybe the dream was misplaced. I mean, I think about this.
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 1: She reckonized. Okay, we had cleaning the house was a big,
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 1: massive undertaking that her mom showed up and says, you
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 1: don't have any window treatments. You need window treatments. So
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: she's like, okay, now I spend my time doing window treatments.
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 1: You know, Furnishing a big home like that is expensive,
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 1: cleaning it, heating it, you know, a cooling of the summertime.
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 1: What are you using it for? Is this? Keep up
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 1: with the Joneses? Are you a victim of so much
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: marketing that you feel that unless you have something that
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 1: is extraordinarily large, too large for your even your basic needs,
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: that that's the right way to go. Do you need it?
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 1: That's going back to my fundamental question do you really
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: need it?
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 12: And I think that's where we've convinced ourselves that we
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 12: deserve certain things, and then certain things are just expected
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 12: to be. As you said, it was always her dream
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 12: to raise a family in her you know, in a
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 12: large house. So I think back to the books that
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 12: John Steinbeck wrote about the Great Depression.
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 1: It was somebody's dream to raise a family in a house.
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 12: I don't think anybody's going to be writing any classic
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 12: American literature about not being able to get the window
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 12: treatments you want.
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 1: I know, that's exactly my point. I mean, we need
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 1: to step back and just adjust a little bit. I
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 1: know we have a consumer driven a me, but come on.
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 12: Really, you know, a great week to do a little
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 12: introspection and make sure that you're you're focused on the
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 12: right things. And that goes for me too, right, We're
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 12: we're fortunate to not have some you know similar I know,
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 12: I know I not havet too many concerns, but at
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 12: the same time, that also causes me to gripe about
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 12: things that I really should be thankful about.
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 1: Exactly, but you see, and you're right, I'll acknowledge my privilege.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 1: My wife and I worked very, very hard to get
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 1: to a point where you know, we're comfortable and I
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 1: don't see any envision any problems. But then again, I
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 1: never was I went I never went down this road.
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be where I am today if I had been,
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 1: you know, uh, captivated by keeping up with the Joneses,
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 1: or it's just m we did. Maybe this is a
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 1: good time to readjust maybe start reflecting on priorities, being
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 1: thankful for what we have, and maybe saying, you know what,
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: I don't care what that guy on the street's got,
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: what he's spending it on. In fact, I remember that
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 1: my favorite commercial was the guy driving the lawnmower and
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 1: he's in this front of this massive, gorgeous house and
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 1: you know, brand new Lahmer and he's driving. He's had
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 1: this big we're in on his face, and all he's
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 1: thinking about is how underwater he is for all the
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 1: stuff that he had cut acquired.
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 12: Probably can't fit that long more back in the garage
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 12: because of all the other craft that's in there.
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 1: Exactly your possessions will own you. Maybe we need to
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 1: start thinking about that little bit. Brian, All right, let's
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 1: be thankful for what we have and let's move on
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 1: to find out, well, what's the fed gonna do about
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 1: it if anything, plus is Thanksgiving going to be cheaper
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 1: this year? More with all were financials Brian James after
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: I mentioned Odo exit od o r xit no e
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: in the word odor Exit, that's the website too. Odor
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 1: exit dot Com products are manufactured right here in the
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 1: Greater Cincinnati are and have been for more than twenty
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 1: five years and they work. First off, you don't last
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 1: twenty five years. If your products don't work, that word
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 1: does tend to get out. Then again, the products come
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 1: with one hundred percent satisfaction guarantee. Whether you want to
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 1: get rid of smoke, will mildew, human odor, petotor, skunk spray,

  Speaker 1: it locally. There's a search engine on the website. On
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 1: the website though, if you order it over twenty five
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 1: bucks ship to you for free. Odor exit dot com

  Speaker 1: works on everything except the stench of politics.
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC We're gonna.
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 1: Be hey twenty I pick you about KARCD talkstation Brian
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 1: Thomas with all our financials Brian Jane's doing what we
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 1: call money Monday. Here's a rhetorical question for you there, Brian,
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 1: as it was waiting for the commercial break to be over,
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 1: would you turn down a proposal from your true love
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 1: for want of the diamond that you had in mind
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 1: that you wanted.
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 12: Oh, and we'd be looking at lab diamonds all day
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 12: every day because I'm a financial planner and she is
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 12: extremely frugal too. See lab diamonds there.
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 1: They'll pick the frugal woman that's what you need, or
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 1: frugal mete.
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 12: He just pick somebody who's yeah, who isn't who is
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 12: doesn't have a wing it mentality?
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 1: You know you can always upgrade down the road too
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 1: when you get more money. If you're financially you're talking
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 1: about the diamond or the spouse. No, the diamond, Yeah,
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 1: I forgot you well, because that's what I did. I
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 1: bought the diamond of the day. We just I decided
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 1: I was going to ask her to be my wife,
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 1: and went out and bought it. And I went to
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 1: the you know, the jewelers row there in Chicago, and
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 1: that's where I went, and I got what I could afford.
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 1: But it was a plain simple you know, I think
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 1: the setting where it was like one hundred dollars for
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 1: the gold band, that's all. It was a diamond in
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 1: a band. Well, several years later, you know, things have
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 1: gotten a little better for us financially. I bought her
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 1: a new setting and it's got diamonds in it and
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff, so it acts censorring and
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 1: she loves it. You know, didn't get it all at
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 1: the first. That waited a little bit.
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 12: That's ironic. That's the exact same place that that we
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 12: did our kidding working up there at the time. And yeah,
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 12: she she the only thing she gave me was she
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 12: had there, was she had a shape that she wanted.
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 12: Nothing else mattered, and we talked about upgrading it down
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 12: the road, but by the time time we got there,
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 12: the other things just had become more important that we
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 12: were working on together, family and house and all that
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 12: other stuff, and so she still got the same one
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 12: that she used.
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 1: That and you know what it has now sentimental value.
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 1: There you got that. I didn't get everything I wanted.
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 1: But you know what, here we are today after all
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 1: these years, and I have something to look at and
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 1: reflect on and think, you know what, it isn't the
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 1: ring that matters? Right, we are still here. Heymen, brother
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 1: over to the Federal Reserve. Now, one thing I have
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 1: to observe. If the Federal Reserve cuts rates, that's fine.
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 1: People may get a little giddy with excitement. It would
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 1: be fine because presumably interest rates for home purchases would
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 1: go down, but that does not alter the supply landscape.
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 1: And it doesn't mean the price of homes. Mean is
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 1: going to be more affordable. I would argue maybe less
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 1: so since more people might be in the market.
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and we've actually had some conversations on our with
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 12: with other experts in the real estate space, basically saying
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 12: that we we could swing back into the seller's market
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 12: a little bit with this because of that just yeah,
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 12: I mean not a whole lot just but it's just
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 12: not the steady march you know, downward in terms of
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 12: pricing and all that, because of what you just said,
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 12: there are people who have been sitting on the sidelines
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 12: who don't have to buy a house, maybe would really
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 12: really like to, but we're pausing waiting on interest rates. Well,
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 12: we've had some interest rate cuts and that is bringing
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 12: people back in the fold. If you've got a mortgage
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 12: a few years ago, then you might be looking currently.
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 12: We've had some upticks too, but over the last several
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 12: weeks you might have been able to get in it,
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 12: maybe a full one to one and a half percent
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 12: a lower refinance rate to knock down that close to
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 12: eight percent mortgage you were forced to get a few
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 12: years ago. So we're still on that path, but it's
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 12: not as likely than it was for another rate cut
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 12: here in December. So we've got some of the comments
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 12: that came out at the end of October from the
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 12: various Fed governors basically are indicating a completely split opinion.
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 12: There are those who want to go ahead and cut
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 12: because of the labor situation. That's we want the lower rates,
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 12: and the other half things that we need to remain
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 12: at current levels because inflation is still a little higher
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 12: than we want. Like we said earlier, we're way down
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 12: off the nine percent peak but we would very much
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 12: prefer to be closer to two percent currently a little
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 12: above three. So it depends on what camp you're in.
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 12: We may or may not be looking at a rate
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 12: cut here in December, but it's not as likely as
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 12: it once appeared.
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 1: Well, I know the labor report was was pretty good,
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 1: but what is this, this persistent inflation. It seems to
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 1: me that at some point employers are going to have
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 1: to start, you know, ratcheting up the salaries so people
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 1: can afford to buy things, because again, as you point
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 1: it out, the prices are never going to come down.
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 1: They're just going to either just increase by less if
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 1: the if the rate of inflation drops.
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 12: But well, I mean, I don't I don't know if
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 12: you meant it this way or not, but you kind
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 12: of said that what you what I heard you say,
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 12: was that employers will have to look at raising wages, well,
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 12: not necessarily, as long as people keep showing up to work,
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 12: and if they've got the option to start using AI
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 12: to wipe things out. So I think over the long
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 12: over the longer homes, Yeah, opposite, So it's going to
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 12: be a little harder to hang on to that job
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 12: for all those reasons. But at the end of the day,
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 12: if they can make the same profit or heaven forbid,
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 12: actually raise it a little bit and hide the profit
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 12: margin under the blame of inflation, then they're absolutely going
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 12: to do that because we are the United States of
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 12: profit margin.
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 1: We are, indeed, and another reason you just chimed in
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 1: there artificial intelligence versus so maybe a career in the trades,
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 1: which I don't see artificial intelligence replacing anytime soon. Brian Nould.
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 12: I would absolutely agree with that, and that's that kind
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 12: of work and working with people healthcare, you know, in
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 12: home care, those kinds of things, dealing helping people, aging,
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 12: those kinds of things. I think where you are truly
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 12: have a personal connection that is absolutely there's great opportunities
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 12: there and that should not be overlooked. Maybe you had
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 12: a dream of something larger, but be real careful and
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 12: understand what artificial intelligence is going to be doing to
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 12: a lot of different industries. Doesn't mean don't pursue it,
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 12: but go in eyes wide open, Turkey dinner as an
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 12: indicator of inflation, among other things. We're going to one
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 12: more segment here with money, mondays Brian James, Brian hang On,
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 12: get right back with you just a.
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 3: Minute, fifty five KRC.
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 1: Service to America. Just I have a thirty fifty five
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 1: KRC DE talk station. Gots some love for the veterans
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 1: coming your way. In the next segment, Carsee cares and
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 1: it does. Chris clif got a couple of new outpatient clinics,
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 1: a new ie center, and we'll find out about those locations,
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 1: what they're offering and other things that the VA can do,
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 1: and we'll do for the American veteran. God bless each
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 1: and every one of them. Brian James flipping over to
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner, Donald Trump said it is gonna be twenty
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be twenty five percent less this year. Some
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 1: raising a John Desci of skepticism. Where are you on
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 1: the realities of Thanksgiving? At least it doesn't usually involve beef.
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 2: This is true.
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 12: We can we can not talk about beef and eggs
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 12: aren't the star of the show either this time around.
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 12: So yeah, it's the time of year where we talk
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 12: about how much it costs to lay out a table
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 12: for your loved ones for Thanksgiving, And the survey we
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 12: normally talk about comes from the Farm Bureau and.
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 1: To me, that's the one that counts.
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 12: If you're gonna look at data, you know, over a
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 12: long period of time, it really kind of has to
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 12: be the same data, or you're just kind of making
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 12: stuff up. So the Farm Bureaus one is, this is
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 12: forty years old now. In their estimate is that the
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 12: Thanksgiving feast for ten will be about fifty five dollars
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 12: and eighteen cents. For twenty twenty five, now that is
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 12: about five percent lower than twenty twenty four. So I
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 12: think it's fact to say that, yes, costs have declined,
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 12: and this is the third straight year of declines after
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 12: previous record highs. Go figure the Farm Bureau survey peaked
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 12: about three years ago when we had crazy nine percent inflation.
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 1: Well the way, didn't the bird flu have an impact
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 1: on that as well, because all everything does.
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 12: Yeah, the bird flu comes and goes. You know, we
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 12: hear about it every few years. So absolutely that was there,
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 12: plus just a cost of hauling cranberry goop across the
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 12: you know, in.
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 1: A truck coop. Maybe being a little cynical, but it
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 1: is what it is.
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 12: So we're contrasting that though with what you mentioned, which
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 12: the White House wanted to latch onto a claim that
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 12: the Thanksgiving dinner basket is going to be about twenty
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 12: five percent less this year compared with last. Now, that's
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 12: not untrue. They're not making it up. But what they're
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 12: looking at is the promotional basket from Walmart, which at
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 12: that point of that's forty bucks for ten people. Last
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 12: year was about fifty six dollars for eight people. But
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 12: that itself is not apples to apples. The Walmart twenty
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 12: twenty five basket only had fifteen things in it. We're
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 12: in twenty twenty four had twice as many.
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 1: So there's laxflation.
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 12: You can eat less for half the cost.
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 1: It's in size basket. It's just got less stuff in
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 1: Look at the size of the basket. Everybody focus on that.
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 12: So you know, again it's not untrue that the costs
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 12: have come down, but it is also not true that
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 12: it came down twenty five percent.
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 1: That's not a thing. Well, and you know you can't
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 1: get things on sale. And here's a fun fact. It's
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 1: a money tip for everybody who has a dog. Yams.
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 1: Yams were like forty seven cents a pound, which is
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 1: a significant drop from the normal price of yams. Plain
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 1: old uncooked yams in a back. I think they were
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 1: even maybe less than that. My wife bought like twenty pounds.
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 1: Why because if you slice them up thin and you
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 1: dehydrate them, the dogs love them. It is the most
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 1: inexpensive dog treat you can buy. And your dogs will
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 1: be happier eating the dehydrated crispy crunchy yams than they
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 1: would anything you could buy from a manufacturer. Wholesome, nutritious,
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 1: no preservatives, no additives. There's your money tip for the day,
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 1: Brian James.
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 12: And up thirty seven percent according to the Farm Bureau.
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 12: Sweet potato spiked last year. So you're you're you're gonna
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 12: need to kind of sacrifice some things. You want to
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 12: keep that tradition going.
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 1: Hate to burse your bubble sat Me Thanksgiving eighteen dollars
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 1: a bag dog treats from the manufacturer. No thank you,
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 1: no thank you. This makes us a great tip. Oh
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 1: and I passed along to the youthful Sean McMahon who's
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 1: covering the show for Joe's Tracker, And I wanted to
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 1: ask you this because this is a point that came
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 1: up back in the day. I basically thought them to
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 1: Mary smart, right, I mean, if you got a good spouse,
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 1: your life will be more stable. You're on the same
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 1: page in terms of finances. It's easy for two incomes
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 1: to afford than one, obviously, so getting married to me
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 1: has always been a valuable thing from a financial stability standpoint.
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 1: But Nathan and Ed used to say, you know, if
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 1: you want to, you know, get a nice nested egg
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 1: and be comfortable and happy in life, then get married,
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 1: but never ever get divorced, because that'll send you the
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 1: exact opposite direction. So ultimately you're left with the choice
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 1: of making sure you find the right person up front
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 1: or never get married.
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 12: Yeah, that very much. You want to get that decision
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 12: right to begin with. And it's a team sport from
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 12: start to end. And I would throw out the most
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 12: awkward client situations I have, or where maybe only one
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 12: of the two will show up to a meeting where
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 12: we review their finances. That means one person has absolutely
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 12: no idea what's going on, and I just assume that
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 12: there's little to no conversation. Those are the ones that
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 12: I know I'm going to be coming back three, four
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 12: or five years ago and we're going to be splitting
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 12: up the assets.
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 1: It's a shame to see that, or alternatively, try to
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 1: be a little positive in it. The other person trusts
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 1: the spouse so completely that he or she is making
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 1: the right financial decisions, there's no need for the other
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 1: person to show up, particularly if they're not interested in it.
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 1: Although trust me, I see the pitfalls associated with that.
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 12: Yes, that is true, and the pitfalls you're referring to
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 12: is we don't get to call all of our shots
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 12: in life one day. If you are the spouse who's
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 12: been trusting, then that's great, except you may need to
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 12: make the decisions.
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 1: You've got to have an idea roughly of.
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 12: Where things are or who the advisor is that's going
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 12: to help you through it, at least be able to
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 12: pick them out of a crowd.
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 1: And I would argue most people are not capable of
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 1: going through that exercise, which is exactly why you need
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 1: to help of a financial planner who has a fiduciary
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 1: obligation to you. And that's what Brian does each and
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 1: every day. And I appreciate you coming to the show
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 1: every Monday and indulging me with my ramblings Brian James,
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 1: but also passing along some great information will do this
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 1: again next Monday, and again Happy Thanksgiving to you and
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 1: the family and everybody at all Worth and.
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 12: I appreciate you tolerating my ramblings. Thank you for that opportunity,
• 2:14:19
  Speaker 12: and we will talk to you next week.
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 1: Mutual exchange of ideas, that's what it's all about. Here
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 1: on the fifty five KRC Morning Show eight thirty five.
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 1: Right now, the veterans, the American Vetdom. We're going to
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 1: help him out. Krsee care segment with Chris Kluk from
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 1: the CINCINNTIVA. Got some important information to pass along. I
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 1: hope you can stick around.
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 6: This is fifty five KARC an iHeartRadio station.
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 1: It's eight thirty eight. Here fifty five KRS the talk station.
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 1: Please to welcome fifty five KRSE Morning Show from the
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 1: CINCINNTI DA. Chris Kluk also a veteran himself. He served
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 1: between O three and oh seven in the US Army
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 1: on hundred and first Airborne. It was getting some interesting
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 1: stories from him. Was there for the Saddam Hussein trial,
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 1: but also involved in combat operations overseas. Yeah, here, move
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 1: that mic up there, you go right into that. He's
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 1: on four there, Sean. Make sure you got a number
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 1: four on Anyhow, I can't thank you enough for your service.
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 1: And as I was talking with you about that, I mentioned,
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 1: since we're talking about the VA and the benefits you
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 1: have to offer there, and we're gonna talk about the
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 1: new outpatient centers and the iclinic, which are a great
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 1: development for the VA. But I said that something effecting.
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 1: I think I understand post traumatic stress disorder or just
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 1: post traumatic stress is well I like to call it.
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's a disorder. I think it's just
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 1: a reality if you've got to get up every day
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 1: at a moment's notice and go around kicking indoors where
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 1: there are in many cases terrorists behind them waiting to
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 1: start shooting at you. And I've heard enough stories from
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 1: men that did this, you know, kicking indoors of Falluja's
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 1: what I used to kind of call it, stories about
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 1: guys getting shot at with anti aircraft guns from underneath
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 1: the floor right when they walk in. And then you
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 1: got to do it again. Once you leave that place,
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 1: clear that place, you move down the road, do it again,
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 1: do it again, do it again. Get up the next
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 1: they do the same damn thing. The weight of that
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 1: on your melon has got to be overwhelming, the idea
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 1: that you have that much adrenaline flowing at all times.
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 1: It's just how do you go back to normal if
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 1: you can even call what we're living in this world normal.
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 1: I think that's the issue. And I didn't have the issue.
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 13: Like while you're over there, going through that experience is
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 13: one thing, like you don't really think about it.
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 1: It's just your day to day life.
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 13: But once you get home and not adrenaline stuff, that's
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 13: that's where the PTSD kicks in and you start to
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 13: think about it, like all that.
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 1: Type of stuff.
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 13: And yeah, mental health is the most important thing, and
• 2:16:34
  Speaker 13: I think talking about it is the most helpful thing.
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 13: That's what's helped me over the years. And the VA
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 13: has a phenomenal mental health program, and I encourage all
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 13: veterans to come in and just if you even need
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 13: somebody to talk to.
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 1: You don't have to go through the full program.
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 13: Just come in and talk to somebody if that's going
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 13: to help you or someone in your family exactly.
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 1: And that's fundamentally really the reason I brought it up,
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 1: because you know, over the years, I've learned about all
• 2:17:00
  Speaker 1: the programs you have and who knows better about that
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 1: type of scenario, the scenario the American veteran deals with
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 1: after service than the American veterans and the folks of
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 1: the VA.
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 13: Yeah, the VA has some like the best mental health
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 13: care program in the world because that's the majority of
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 13: our patients that we see, and so we've recruited the best,
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 13: do the best research, and come up with the best
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 13: solutions to help our veterans.
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 1: And you do every single day. And I was so
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 1: so sad to learn that how many men did you
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 1: have in your in your was it platoon? In our platoon?
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 13: I don't know the exact number, but I would say
• 2:17:34
  Speaker 13: it was roughly thirty five thirty six guys in our platoon.
• 2:17:37
  Speaker 1: And fast forward to right now. You know, six of
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 1: them committed suicide. Six of them committed suicides. We can't
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 1: let that happen. You know, every veteran out there, I'm
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 1: sure has at least someone in their world who has
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 1: close connection with them, knows how they are, can see
• 2:17:49
  Speaker 1: these signs of perhaps mental stress and maybe steer them
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 1: in the right direction, get them signed up for the
• 2:17:54
  Speaker 1: VA benefits. D two to fourteen discharge is all you're
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 1: gonna need.
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 13: Yeah, just talk to them, ask them if they need help,
• 2:18:01
  Speaker 13: ask them if they want somebody to talk to you,
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 13: even if they don't want to go to the VA,
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 13: ask them if they'd like to talk to you personally.
• 2:18:07
  Speaker 1: Well, just let them get whatever they need to off
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 1: their chests. And a shout out over to my friends
• 2:18:11
  Speaker 1: at Patriots Landing in northern Kentucky. It's the wood shop.
• 2:18:14
  Speaker 1: They make these wonderful craft products, but they serve as
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 1: exactly that that lifeline for connection among the American veterans.
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 1: They go, they commiserate together. It gives them a safe space,
• 2:18:23
  Speaker 1: they can talk about their trials and tribulations, what's on
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 1: their mind, and it benefits everybody. Yeah, I know Pete
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 1: over there, that's a great program. It is really an
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 1: awesome program. So Patriots Landing folks, all right. Didn't mean
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 1: to take you down that road right out of the gate, Chris,
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 1: but I thought was really important to bring it up.
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of people struggle with depression and
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 1: sadness around the holidays too. Stating the Auvius, Now, what
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 1: is going on the VA. I hear you're in the
• 2:18:46
  Speaker 1: process of relocating the two outpatient clinics as well as
• 2:18:49
  Speaker 1: the Eye Center. What's this all about? Yeah, the Eye.
• 2:18:52
  Speaker 13: Center is we're supposed to have a new opening that
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 13: is now slated for December twenty sixth of this year
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 13: at twenty ninety Florence Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio four five two
• 2:19:06
  Speaker 13: zero six. And now that's going to have optometrists to
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 13: just offer routine nine exams, preventing, preventative screening, glaucoma. Ophthalmologists
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 13: can diagnose and provide medical and surgical care for conditions
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 13: like cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration.
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 1: And a lot more.
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 13: That center is also going to offer general optomet optometry
• 2:19:31
  Speaker 13: and ophtalmology, low vision and traumatic brain injury services to
• 2:19:35
  Speaker 13: go into the mental health, contact lenses, retina and cornea services,
• 2:19:41
  Speaker 13: medical surgical glaucoma. I mean, I've taken a tour of
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 13: this facility. It's more than doubled the footprint of the
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 13: old one. They're going to offer a lot more and
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 13: it's we're looking forward to this place opening now. Are
• 2:19:55
  Speaker 13: these vision services is just a new feature for being
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 13: a first sighting for VA benefits or have you always
• 2:20:01
  Speaker 13: done it? Just outgrew the demand the space. Yeah, We've
• 2:20:04
  Speaker 13: always offered it. We've just outgrown the space because we recently,
• 2:20:08
  Speaker 13: I would say over the past two and a half years,
• 2:20:11
  Speaker 13: our veteran population of the VA has gone from forty
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 13: three to close to fifty thousand people. So veterans are
• 2:20:18
  Speaker 13: recognizing the care we offer it the VA and they're
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 13: starting to come in.
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 1: I am so glad to just play a tiny little
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 1: part in that, Chris, I really am, because I listened
• 2:20:26
  Speaker 1: when I remember when Bob McDonald was running things. They
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 1: couldn't keep appointments and people were they felt like they
• 2:20:31
  Speaker 1: were getting the backstab. You know, I served my country
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 1: and look at how I'm being treated. Boy, it's just
• 2:20:36
  Speaker 1: dramatically turned around.
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 13: Yeah, things have really changed in the VIA over the
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 13: last I would say five to ten years. I mean
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 13: even for the CINCINNATIVA and the last I would say,
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 13: if you haven't been to the CINCINNTIV in the last
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 13: nine months, you should come in and check us out
• 2:20:49
  Speaker 13: because we have just revamped the whole VA. It's new everything.
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 13: We're building a new primary care center in there. It's
• 2:20:56
  Speaker 13: just we've we've gone far and above to try and
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 13: create the best space for veterans to feel the most comfortable.
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 1: Giving them what they deserve. Yep, exactly. Chris Klube will
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 1: continue right after these brief words. Don't go away.
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 3: Fifty five krc hey forty eight.
• 2:21:13
  Speaker 1: Fifty got KRCV Talk station. Hope you're having a decent Monday,
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 1: big show schedule for tomorrow thanks to Joe Strecker's on
• 2:21:22
  Speaker 1: vacation this weekend. Thank you Sean McMahon for filling in.
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have tech Tuesday tomorrow Day've had our Congressman
• 2:21:27
  Speaker 1: Warren Davidson from the Hudson Institute bring him account talking
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 1: about latest on energy policies, built the Inside Scoop with
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 1: Bright Bart News and the Daniel Davis Deep Dive. Thank
• 2:21:35
  Speaker 1: God for that lineup as I segue into a long
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving week, and best and happy Thanksgiving to Chris Klug
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 1: from the cincinni VA who was in studio talk about
• 2:21:44
  Speaker 1: some updates and what's available there. And thank you to
• 2:21:47
  Speaker 1: all those folks at the CINCINNIVA serving the American veterans
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 1: and doing such a great job with it. Chris, you
• 2:21:53
  Speaker 1: had met, you were talking about the Vision program, lots
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 1: of services. I want to double down on the glau
• 2:21:57
  Speaker 1: coma thing because he's Brian Thomas Glaucoma head of surgery
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 1: for that, it'll make you go blind. And do you
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 1: have high eye pressure right now? If you haven't seen
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 1: a doctor, do you know the answer is no, you don't.
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 1: It's not something you can feel. Do you want to
• 2:22:10
  Speaker 1: go blind?
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 2: No?
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 1: So this is great because a lot of people don't
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 1: take care of their vision. They just kind of let
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 1: it go. Yeah, something pesky could be lurking behind the scenes,
• 2:22:18
  Speaker 1: like glaucol something serious happens and then brother, so let's
• 2:22:21
  Speaker 1: double down on that and a freebie. Yeah the VA.
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 13: If you, I would say, the majority of veterans that
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 13: use our I Center, we'll qualify for free eyeglasses as well.
• 2:22:31
  Speaker 13: So come into business check it out. I mean, what's
• 2:22:34
  Speaker 13: the worst that could happen? You get to walk away
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 13: with a pair of free glasses. But also hearing aids
• 2:22:39
  Speaker 13: that's something else. Hearing a's are also free through the
• 2:22:41
  Speaker 13: VIA as well. So if you're at home and you
• 2:22:44
  Speaker 13: know your husband or wife is spending seven thousand dollars
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 13: on hearing aids, check us out at the VA.
• 2:22:48
  Speaker 1: See if you can't get them for free. That's why
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 1: you serve for that little bit of money. While you
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 1: were there getting all these extra benefits, so take advantage
• 2:22:54
  Speaker 1: of them. Pivoting back over to oh, telehealth. I asked
• 2:23:01
  Speaker 1: you off air about the mental health services that you
• 2:23:03
  Speaker 1: offer at the VA. Obviously very popular and thankfully so.
• 2:23:06
  Speaker 1: But you do telehealth with mental mental health?
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 13: Yeah, we telehealth since COVID has become extremely big through
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 13: the VIA and the majority of our veterans that see us,
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 13: a lot of them want to see like for mental health,
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 13: want to do telehealth. They don't want to come down
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 13: to Clifton, they don't want to find parking or whatever
• 2:23:24
  Speaker 13: the case is, so they opt to do it from home.
• 2:23:26
  Speaker 1: And that's a big program we offer.
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 13: So if you don't want to leave the comfort of
• 2:23:29
  Speaker 13: your home and you want to talk to a mental
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 13: health provider, we can do it over the computer or
• 2:23:34
  Speaker 13: over your phone with you.
• 2:23:35
  Speaker 1: Can't check for glock hoom over the phone though, can't
• 2:23:37
  Speaker 1: do that. I have to come in in person for
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 1: that one. All right now. The other you'd mentioned focused
• 2:23:43
  Speaker 1: on the I Center and the new one obviously bigger
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 1: and it's AID twenty ninety Florence Avenue. What about the
• 2:23:48
  Speaker 1: outpatient the other outpatient clinics, what's the story on these.
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 13: Yeah, so we're getting too brand new standalone outpatient clinics.
• 2:23:56
  Speaker 13: The Hamilton VA Clinic is going to be new and
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 13: that they're building that now I've toured out.
• 2:24:01
  Speaker 1: It's a beautiful facility.
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 13: That one's going to be at seventy two fifteen Gateway Avenue, Hamilton,
• 2:24:07
  Speaker 13: Ohio four or five zero one one. It's kind of
• 2:24:10
  Speaker 13: right off Route four next to Trihalth and Bethesda. This
• 2:24:14
  Speaker 13: location is going to offer primary care, mental health, optometry
• 2:24:19
  Speaker 13: as well, pedietary physical therapy, lab services, nutrition, pharmacy, consultations, telehealth,
• 2:24:28
  Speaker 13: and then we're also going to expand the amount of
• 2:24:30
  Speaker 13: primary care providers we have at that location as well,
• 2:24:33
  Speaker 13: so we'll be.
• 2:24:34
  Speaker 1: Able to serve even more veterans. You know, I'm glad
• 2:24:36
  Speaker 1: you have a nutrition program. I say, we want to
• 2:24:40
  Speaker 1: about OURFK Junior. I think at least he is bringing
• 2:24:43
  Speaker 1: it to our attention the importance of diet and nutrition
• 2:24:46
  Speaker 1: and how much of an impact it has on our
• 2:24:48
  Speaker 1: overall health. I mean, if you want to stay the
• 2:24:50
  Speaker 1: hell away from a doctor, really focus on what you're
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 1: putting in your bodies, what it boils down to anymore, Yeah, for.
• 2:24:55
  Speaker 13: Sure, especially around this time. You know, with New Year's
• 2:24:57
  Speaker 13: coming up, everybody wants to lose some way and all
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 13: that's you know, it is the worst the food. Yeah,
• 2:25:06
  Speaker 13: but if that's something you're interested in doing going into
• 2:25:09
  Speaker 13: the new year, you know, you don't have to buy
• 2:25:10
  Speaker 13: all those apps and pay monthly fees. You can just
• 2:25:13
  Speaker 13: come into the VA speak with a nutritionist. They'll create
• 2:25:16
  Speaker 13: a meal plan, an exercise program for They'll do all
• 2:25:19
  Speaker 13: that for you for free.
• 2:25:20
  Speaker 1: That's griest thing to come talk to one of us.
• 2:25:21
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of people out in the world that
• 2:25:23
  Speaker 1: are charging for that service, a lot of money for that. Yeah,
• 2:25:26
  Speaker 1: I'm so good good nutrition as well. All right, now,
• 2:25:28
