• 0:36
  Speaker 2: me while I was off, And hopefully I can get
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: my thoughts arranged for today and deal with the fifty
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: five KRC Morning Shore after that hiatus, feel a little rusty,

• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Walker and Dan Carrol covering for me some good stuff
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: last week, and I appreciate both of those guys doing that.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: And what do we got today? Well, it's Monday, Thankfully Monday.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Christopher Smithiman joins a program every Monday at seven twenty today,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: no different from the norm. Maybe we'll get his comments
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: about this new report, saying police are racist, worsening racial
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: disparity in police stops. Sadly, there's a lot of well
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: not sadly. This Campaign Zero described as a non profit
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: that researches policing practices and proposes policies for reform. Outside
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: entity wondering what their motivation is. Maybe they're an NGO
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: that needs looking for additional funding. Maybe they're trying to
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: gin up the whole idea that SINCINNT police department's racist.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: And of course actually some interesting support, not necessarily for
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the conclusions in this Campaign zero report, but at least
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: some sense of balance from folks you might otherwise think
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: would just immediately embrace the report, saying since police stop
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: a bunch of black people more often than white people,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: which the numbers suggest in this report, is true, but
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: it's the way the numbers were gathered and crimes, the
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: fact that they didn't involve the City of Cincinnati, they
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: didn't even bother talking to the police department, and they
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: did some questionable conclusions from the data. And you have
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: folks on council as well as the city manager share
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: along and have to have Parvall stepping in and at
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: least saying whoa whoa, whoa, Wait a minute, there's a
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: little more work that needs to be done before we
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: start listening to and believing what that reports at. So
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing this is a guess, Christopher, if you're awake,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: guessing he might have something to say about it. I
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: know our friends Signal ninety nine over at Facebook has
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: been talking about it, drawing the same points that some
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: of the others have. We've got the FOP responding to it.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Of course, the FOP would respond to it, defending themselves
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: and saying, wait a minute, you cannot embrace these conclusions
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: without look looking at how they were arrived at. That's
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: what's supposed to be done. And had this this organization
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Campaign zero worked with the the police department and the
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: city manager's office and others, they might have been able
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: to present a more straightforward conclusion, or at least have
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: addressed some of the outstanding concerns that are in this report. So, anyhow,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: more details on that this morning. Maybe have a comment
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: on it yourself, feel free to give me a call.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: But Christopher, whatever he's going to be talking about, just
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing again that he may be bringing that up
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: since it is a dominant topic your conversation of late
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: here in the city of Cincinnati. It is Monday. What
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: does that mean? Monday Monday? With Brian James markets cheering
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: the peace deal with Iran, I think I'd be reluctant
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: to call it a peace deal. Wait a moment on that. Yeah,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: hold on SpaceX Ipo makes Elon Musk a trillionaire freaking
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: out the likes of Bernie Sanders. I think he said
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the other day that Elon must should be the last
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: trillionaire ever. One of the leftists Alexander or Casio cortn
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: pick your favorite leftist they're all singing the same tune
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: and kind of suggesting that Elon Musk hasn't done anything.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Wow. That talk about sticking your head in a damp, dark,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: dark dark and rather a differous place and one hundred
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: percent wine tariff. Donald Trump suggesting that on France and
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: in all bold in caps, this has to stop. Is
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: that Brian James opinion? Or is that Joe Strecker opinion? Joetrecker,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: executive producer of the fifty five car supporting show. You
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: think that will be Keegan, although not you would say
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Keegan Corkor and he is our resident wine expert. Yeah,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know. He really focuses on non French wines, Joe,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: so maybe it aliviar to his benefit. He's big on
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: California wine, South American wines, Australian wines, that kind of thing.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: So maybe one hundred percent tax on French wines might
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: inure to his financial benefit. Maybe we'll get him the
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: chime in on that, one way or another. I not
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: a big listen. Occasionally get a bottle of French wine.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: It can be quite tasty. Play Montroche one of my favorites,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: like Burgundy. But in a world with no Polini Montroche,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I'll get along just fine. Oh and speaking a real
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I just have to interject this because I printed the
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: article out after reading it, and I just put it
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: in the stack of stuff to maybe talk with Brian
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: James about. It's just a sort of an observational article.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Call it an op ed piece if you want. Why
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the millionaire next door drives a used car and what
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: that teaches about real wealth. And he goes on to
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: this guy he knows is the wealthiest person that he
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: knows he's got. He got a couple of million dollars
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: in investment accounts. He drives a twenty eighteen Toyota camera
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: and does not have any interest in buying a more
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: expensive car. He says, it's just a tool to take
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: you from point eight to point B. The whole article
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: basically boiling around what we as a society find valuable
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: and why we think certain things are valuable when they
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: do not provide us with anything other than some sort
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: of signal to the rest of the world that we
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: can afford something. I made this joke many times with
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: regard to designer bags. I mean, there are women out
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: there in the world, I guess guys. Sorry, just throwing
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: it in there just in case. You know, guys carry
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: a purse, are willing to spend five thousand, ten thousand,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: and fifteen thousand dollars whatever for a purse? It has
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: no more functionality than a plastic bag from Kruger, which
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: they'll let you take as many as you want. Why
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: do we do that? Well, this article points out if
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: you aren't that person, if you just you know, stick
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: to the norms and sock your money away in an
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: efficient way over time, and don't feel the need to
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: go out and go into debt, it's it was one
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: of the headings of the paragraphs building wealth the boring way.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: You know, there's a simple mathematical reality to how you
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: become wealthier over time. Just stick with the basics and
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: be content. Be content. Do you need a seventy five
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: maybe you soon to be one hundred and fifty dollars
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Pliny Montreche, or maybe you can go with another white
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: from California, little cost you a third or a quarter
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: of that. And coffee was brought up in the article
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: as well. You know, you can make a hell of
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of coffee for what you spend over at Starbucks.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: And why are you spending so much money at Starbucks
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: when you can make an equally good cup of coffee
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: at home? I do that every day, and I've brought
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: that one up. I did the math on that. Yes,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: we belong to Costco, and that membership pays off because
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I can get a two pound bag of coffee. It
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: used to be only like eleven dollars. It's up to
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: light twenty bucks now, but you can make a hell
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: of a lot of pots of coffee with that. How
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: many cups of Starbucks can you get for twenty bucks?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Like three? So anyway, just something to think about. I
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: just saw that and I had interjected in there since
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: we are gonna be talking about wine with Brian James
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: and also Rick Green. Remember Rick Green. He found God
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: in a moment's time. He had wasted his youth and
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: was on drugs, was an alcoholic, and he was in
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: prison and one day God changed his life. And in
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: that moment in time, he just reformed himself. He didn't
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: go through a ten step twelve step program, he didn't
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: do anything along those lines. He didn't have to, you know,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: seek medical help or any kind of assistance from a
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: psychologist or a psychiatrist. And I'm not saying that it's
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: bad to do that, but it is truly a life's miracle.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: His story calls it a God story. Just looked in
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: the mirror one day and said I've had enough, and
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: he transformed his life. And he's been an upstanding citizen
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: ever since. They made a movie out of it. He's
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: written books on it, and he's been using his personal
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: mission to help feed folks. He takes sandwiches to people
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: on life's margins on the weekend, and it's his way
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: of giving back. But a transformative life and a really
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: beautiful story will end the Morning Show about eight to
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: forty with Rick Green returning to talk about that he
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: will be in studio and I'm looking forward to see
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: him again. So it's tomorrow in the Morning Show, Bright
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Part Inside Scoop Daniel, Davis, Deep Die and maybe Daniel
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: have a thing or to to say about this Iran
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: deal and what do we got on that? Okay, Both
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Iran and the United States set out loud yesterday they
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: have agreed on an interim piece dealing. I think the
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: word interim is an appropriate thing. They announced yesterday, some
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: calling it a major breakthrough because we've been going back
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: and forth with him for about four months since the
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: bombs started dropping. While they have agreed that Friday is
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: the day that it will be signed. Whatever it happened
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: to d b because although both sides came out and
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: they said we're going to be doing this, neither side
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: provided a specific list of agreed upon details. Don't you
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: find that suspicious or weird? Anyway? What are they doing
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: with the nuclear dust not addressed? Okay? Anyway, Trump said
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: yesterday the straight ofform Is will be open on Friday.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: He said the time was needed for the purpose of
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: mind removal, and I can say that sounds like a
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: justifiable purpose, you know what I mean? Can we remove
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: the minds over the course of seven or five days left?
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I hope Governor Teyran confirm the deal also quote the
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: text of the memorandum of understanding has been finalized. He
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: just see if you can find a copy of the
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: text of the deal online, would you, buddy, No, don't bother.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: I don't want to send you out a wild goose
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: chase because I've seen like twenty twenty five different news sites,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: all of which are talking about this deal that's been announced,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: none of which have the details of a memorandum. So
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: don't bother. Ron's deputy Foreign minister cars them your ba
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: body baye bah bloh booh blah, bye bye bye body
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: figure it out yourself. Oh got a short time for anyway, said.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: The Iranian threats of attacks on Israel put the pressure
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: on the United States Risha deal as they were threatening
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Israel because Israel's been bobbing Hasbala and that's going to
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: be a sticky wicket in this agreement. Trump called on
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Israel yesterday that quit attacking Lebanon, which Iran has said
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: it is key to the acceptance of the deal. Lebanon
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: is involved in this. And when you think about that,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: who is telling Hasbala what to do? Don't you think
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: it's the Iranians? H Maybe the agreement believed paved the
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: way for a sixty day period of negotiations over Tehran's
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: controversial nuclear program. Note that we have a sixty day window,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: and that's also been widely reported. This is going to
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: be a cease fire. At least the basics of the
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: memorandum have been released. They're going to stop fighting. The
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: straight upform is supposed to be open, and we're supposed
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: to open the Iranian ports and stop the blockade. So
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: in exchange for curves on the nuclear program, apparently Ironic
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: expects access to billillions of dollars in cash that have
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: been blocked, as well as the end of the sanctions
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: which have well crippled its economy. Those details still swirling
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: with question marks. See the curves of the billions of
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: dollars released. That that's akin to the Barack Obama pallets
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: of cash kind of thing. And I know the Trump
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: administration is doing everything it can do to recharacterize whatever
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: money is released as not the same thing as wheeling
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: in a one point two trillion or how much many
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: one hundred dollars bills stacked up on pallets. We'll see
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: if you can navigate around that and what it actually means.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Do we know right now? Apparently not. Trump said yesterday
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: talking to the Wall Street Journal of the deal includes
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: an agreement from Iran not to obtain nuclear weapons, but
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: actually no mention of that in Trump's social media posts
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: yesterday talking about how thrilled he is that the agreement
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: has been reached. Would think that might have been mentioned,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: since it's been sort of the biggest problem in the
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: entire situation. What do we do with the rans pursuit
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: of a nuclear bomb? What becomes of whatever nuclear material
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: is left underneath the mountain? Has it really been pulverized
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: or is just sitting there in a pile. No one
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: knows yet. I don't think he said we'll get the
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: nuclear dust later on, when we're ready to go in
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: and do it. I'd say over the next month or two.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: There's no rush, And I think that is a reference
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: to this sixty day period of negotiations. Over the next
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: month or two, we're going to be talking about the
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: nuclear dust open issue. It sounds like to me, he says,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: as far as regime change, I never cared about regime change.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: This is the third group we've dealt with, and this
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: is the most national group yet, I guess because there's
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: some swirling problem remaining with the Iranians over who can
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: sign on this deal and who doesn't. And that also
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: suggests that well, with no regime change, Iran will be
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: in the hands of the insane theocracy that it is
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: currently being run by since nineteen seventy nine. At night
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: air Jack. Trump also said there would be strong inspections
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: on the Iranians, but also didn't specify how that would work.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Again sixty day period hash that out. He said that
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Iran would not be provided cash and the deal, but
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: sanctions could potentially be lifted. We'll see how they behave
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: he said, hmm. So we also still have this pesky
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: a Lebanon thing, and the Iranians are saying that they
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: must be including the agreement that did Lebanon. The Hisbala
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: must be left alone in essence, but has Bala backed
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: by Iran if they're firing rockets into Israel? Israel since
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: it bombed yesterday obviously as a vested interest in retaliating
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: against the people who are bombing them. And you can
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: say it's has Bala independently, I think we all know
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: that hisbala is being pressed by the Iranians. Maybe keep
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: the whole swirling pot of of mystery that shrouds this
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: whole thing going. Anyhow, I love to hear from you
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: if you got a comment on it. Hey, one bright
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: spot in all of this that we can hang our
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: hat on. Brent Crew down four percent to eighty three
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: bucks a barrel. So there you go, stick arout of
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: you right back.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: This is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio Station.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Fifty five krc DE Talk station five twenty four on
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: a Monday, and a happy one to you. Just that
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: moment here we can sort of a little preview to
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: the stack of stupid coming up. Although I'd love to
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: hear from you if I went three seven, four, nine
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: fifty and two three top pound five fifty on AT
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: and T phones. Insanity in New York as we know
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: what New York City's mom Dommy v Comi is doing.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: In New York City, there was a front pain magazine,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: a front page magazine report. First off, they start, and
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: by pointing out, I guess statistically it's true. Gonnorrhea rates
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: in New York City have more than doubled in a decade,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: and syphilis is a surging statewide. What is Mondami's Department
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: of Health doing free supply of lubricant and chocolate favored condoms?
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: New York City Debuty Mayor of Health and Human Services, Hey, Joe,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: do you find out if lubricant can prevent you from
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: getting the gottrhea? I didn't realize that condoms. I guess
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: I understand anyway. Providing high qualities sexual and reproductive health
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: care services is a priority for the Mam Damie administration.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Making safer sex products more accessible to the most affected
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: and vulnerable communities is a critical public health need. I
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: don't know who the most effected in vulnerable communities are.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: I would think anybody goes out and has unprotected sex.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: I think that includes every single human being on the planet.
• 16:44

• 17:22
  Speaker 2: black and Latino New Yorkers.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, I guess this is a social media quote.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Fall back on it. I guess some of them in
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Dammie administration will tut the mayor's actions. These delectable prophylactics
• 17:46

• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Senate's going to flip in November. Keep reading about it
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: every single day. Yet another article talking about how the
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Republicans are going to lose. What on the hell are
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: the Democrats doing that would justify a vote for them?
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Do you hate Trump that much that you would do
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: something like vote for this crap? This kind of thing
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: has gotten under my skin of late, so much so
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: that I think I'm losing my mind five twenty seven
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: right now, local stories or phone calls coming up. Will
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: be right back. This is fifty five, five thirty one
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: on a Monday. Glad to be back. Still not firing
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: in all sinners. Got to be honest with you, but
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I'm doing my best and I will muddle through the
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: fifty five case Morning Show. I appreciate you sticking with
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: me here as I try to refire my cylinders up.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: And I appreciate Tom calling in as always, Tom, Welcome
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: to the Morning Show. It's good to hear from you.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, good to hear you as well. Welcome back, and
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: hope you were your hiatus was. You took advantage of
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: it and got plenty of arrest and.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: I did, uh, you know what else I got done?
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: Have?
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: I had a whole bunch of items on a honeydew
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: list that was written for me by my wife. Of course,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: several weeks ago. Everything's got to get done before my
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: daughter gets married. So we're using the marriage as an
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: excuse to literally take care of every single damn thing
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: that my wife perceives as a problem. In our house.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: We had the whole all the walls painting. You've done
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: this and that and the other thing I have. I
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: am almost I think I got twenty minutes to an
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: hour left of work to finish the entire project, and
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: that is putting up the handrailing goes down into the
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: basement because we had the walls painted and we had
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: to take those down. So there you have it, brand
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: new shop finish, stained and two coats of poly on
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: them so they look really good.
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: So anyhow, so, Paul, that's a really good project manager.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: She's the best. And having said this out loud and
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: remind her of the other day, this is the last
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: item on the list. I will come home today and
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: there will probably be a brand new list.
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: Oh sure, that's what happens when you open your mouth
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: like that.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I know, but see, I am on record. It won't
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: get done unless it's been written down. For the vast
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: majority of things. You know why, because men don't see problems.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Tom I've just come to that realization. You know why
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: we're happy. We don't look for bad things. We just
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: want to go home and be smiling and content, crack
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: up in a beer, have a Samwi.
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm happy.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: I have a couch to sit on, I have a
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: lovely home that I'm very happy with. I have a
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: beautiful wife. I'll be married thirty four years in Jude.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: You know, why would I look for things that need
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: to be done?
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: And it drives women nothing that we think that we see.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: My retort, though, is if it's written down and I
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: at least know it's right there, I've got a reminder.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I don't have to be told over That's the problems.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: When you have to be told over and over again,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: you get sick of hearing the message. And I know
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: you're supposed to act on it when you hear it,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: but we immediately I'm guessing goat like me, go right
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: back into that I'm comfortable mode. And that didn't sound
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: like it was that urgent of project. I'll get around
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: to it someday. You know that goes.
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: Male philosophy.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Yet this is all I got, brother, This is all
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: I got. At least I've done with the list.
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: Right right, as long as she's aware of what to
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: expect out of you, that's hey man.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: That's the way we've been together, I think thirty eight
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: years or what we started dating in December of eighty seven,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: so married, coming up on thirty four.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: And for those for those of you kids out there,
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: that's called back in the day.
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: In the day.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: Yes, I met I met my wife in high school
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: in nineteen eighty three, I believe when we first met
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: something like that. So we've known each other for quite
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: some time.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Well, absolutely, absolutely, this is it.
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: This is it. I'm having I'm having way too much
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: fun with this one to do another.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: It's a great way to look at it, right.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: You take that however you want to take real real quick.
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: The uh, the gas prices. I my wife went home,
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: she's out here with me in indian Indianapolis, and she
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: went back like I think Thursday for something and took
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: a picture of the of a screen. Yeah thanks, job,
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: took a picture of a of a of a gas
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: sign and it was like three ninety something. I don't
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: know what your prices are now right now, this weekend
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: or whatever. If you bought gas in the last day
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: or two, but out here they've been down around three
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: now under three bucks a gallon for at least a
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: week or two. So and to me it tells me. Look,
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: if gas companies, oil companies had any excuse whatsoever the
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: jack prices up, they would do it. And the fact
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: that they've been steadily coming down tells me that there's
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: a lot more oil flowing through the strait of horror moves.
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: Then some people want to give it credit for it.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Well, there's not a lot of articles that China as
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: a country itself has significantly paired down its consumption. So
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: in terms of one of the largest purchases of crude
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: on the planet, they're backing off has really helped. I
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: know that we have been providing more and more oil
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: out there in the world to countries like India for example, Hey, drill, baby, drill.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Everything above strategies working out to our advantage and others.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Of course, we've got to release the Venezuelan oil, which
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: I know is not the greatest oil in the world.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: It's not like Brent crude, but it's still out there
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: in the world. There are other sources of oil. So
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: and listen, just the point of the gasoline going down,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Will that, in and of itself give people a better
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: feeling about November such that they wouldn't go kill themselves
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: metaphorically speaking, cut their own metaphorical throats from economic policies
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: that the Democrats will unleash on America and the next
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: nine gajillion impeachment investigations. I mean, you know, are we
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: going to fight for chocolate flavored condoms and vote Democrat?
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Does that really makes sense to anybody? I don't get it.
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: Well, well, you know you're talking about people that vote,
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: think about the people that get elected by Democrat voters,
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: and you can't really use common sense in that same paragraph.
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: So yeah, you and I have a way of thinking.
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: In most most, if not all, of the listening audience
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: use common sense, I think a certain way. But these
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: people out there that vote for Democrats, I mean, it's
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: the most common sense thing I can think that's involved
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: in their in their way of thinking is they're selfish.
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: They're just looking out for what they think is best
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: for them, and what they think is going to let
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: them get away with whatever they want to do and
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: have all the fun and frivolity in their life and
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: not have to have face any consequences for it. I
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: get that it's stupid, it's it's reckless, it hurts you
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: and everybody around you, but at least that it is
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: something that I can wrap my head around and go, Okay, well,
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: I understand that you're being selfish, but you're hurting yourself
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: and you're hurting everybody around you. So please, for the
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: sake of yourself and your neighbors and friends and family,
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: help vote Democrat. I'll talk to you tomorrow haven at good.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Thanks Tom good to hear from me. You feel better
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: to being back hearing from Tom. I also feel better
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: being back hearing from you, too. Feel free to give
• 25:32

• 26:03
  Speaker 2: and T phones, And as I was preparing for the
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: morning show yesterday, I ran across this, watched the video
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: and said to myself, do I bother printing the article out?
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: And I thought to myself, Nope, Strekker is going to
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: have this one right there on top of the stack
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: of stupid and lo and behold there it was the
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: late Maria Eduarda Rodriguez de Friijas. She was twenty one
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: years old. She's late because she's dead. Right before her death,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: she wrote on her social media post Instagram, specifically, who
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: is the crazy person who let me jump off a bridge?
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: What?
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Yep, happened Saturday? She was getting ready to jump off
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: a bridge in what she thought would be a thrilling
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: bungee jumping adventure in some place called Lamira Salpaolo. What happened, Well,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: the bungee company didn't hook up a bungee cord to
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: her and chucked her off the side of the bridge
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: while people standing around are going what about the rope?
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: It's horrific to watch. Video, of course, posted on social media,
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: captured her being thrown off the edge of what they
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: called skeleton bridge, perhaps aptly name without the bungee cord attached,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: just as right after she made this post too. Witnesses
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: filming could be heard saying, guys, the rope and pointing
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: to the rope which is literally laying curled up on
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: the ground. There is nothing attached to her legs. This
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: is me. You just wonder, how in the hell could
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: this possibly happen? Pronounced dead at the scene, her fiance
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: standing right there as she plummeted to her death. Can
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: you imagine that playing and rewinding your head over and
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: over again for the rest of your life. Six people
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: have been arrested after the incident, including three people at
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: the scene of the jump. Of the suspects tried to
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: flee the scene, ultimately track John by a helicopter in
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: a wooded area, according to the military police. Jasel Weaves, Dude,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: I know, I know, and you know I got I
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: don't know. I have a lot of faith in engineers
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: and God bless the engineers of the world. What are
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: the amazing accomplishment engineers have accomplished men's over the history,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Bridges and roads, all the kinds of crazy stuff that
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: like sometimes literally gravity to find and you have roller coasters,
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: talk about this amusement. Right, it's a bungee jump. It's
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: supposed to be fun. Do you have enough confidence in
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: bungee cords holding up? I personally don't. This is not something.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: I'm not much of a thrill seekert along those lines either.
• 28:41
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Dad might hut have be in the same way.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: My daughter's fiance soon to be husband. He's one of
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: this crazy rock climber guys. You know, no ropes and
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: just goes up. Let me come on seriously, but of
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: all things, they didn't even hook the rope up or
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: the bunges up. Well, that's why it's in the stack.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: It's stupid, and that's something you might want to check.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Do you think state you want to do something like that?
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Look down, pay attention to your surroundings. Hey, guys, you're
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: getting ready to chuck me off the bridge. You might
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: want to hook the bungee cort up because I don't
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: see anything attached to my legs or feet. Anyway, had
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: she survived, she might have had pain as a consequence
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: of injuries, and injuries and pain could have been lifelong
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: because injuries can result in some lifelong pain. And you
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: know what arthritis will do. The same things to talk
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: station five fifty one I fifty five KRCD talk station
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: back to the stack, Oh stupid. Plenty of time in
• 29:40

• 29:43
  Speaker 2: anything you want to talk about. You can feel free
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: to give me a call in the meantime. You know
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: you're not talking with Liam Neeson. I'm saying that you're not. Sadly,

  Speaker 2: After Bronte has handed over her phone, Leviangi said she
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: and began texting the person posing as the seventy three

  Speaker 2: be important to note that due to this ongoing theft
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: of banana chips. Lorenzo's limited the amount of banana chip
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: stocks he's put on the shelf that in the report
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: from the Sheriff's Deputy's office, and that continues to take
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: all of the bags that she can. While she has
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: paid for some chips at the self checkout, she's failed
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: to scan other bags before walking out of the publics.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: When confronted, Nichols reportedly confessed to the chip theft and
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: she did not know why she steals them, something so stupid,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: adding it's not worth going to jail over and losing
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: your job. Sorry sucks to be you. You got caught,
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: you probably will. They searched her car turned top thirteen
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: bags of banana chips, some of which were apparently stolen
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: from the Vero Beach store in that incident where she
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: got arrested, as well as the second publix in the neighborhood.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: According to the Sheriff's deputies, this pattern of behavior of
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: banana chip theft from an net is a common occurrence.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: After being charged with theft, she was freed from custody
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: after posting one hundred and fifty dollars bond on misdemeanor charges.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: She was convicted in twenty twenty four retail theft for
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: skip scanning items at a Walmart and Vero Beach items
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: not indicated in that particular charge. Okay, moving on in
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: the six o'clock hour, talk station six or six here
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: if you bought Parris he talks station. My name is
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Brian Thomas. I am back thankfully last chemo treatment. Uh
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: you know, to speak two weeks ago this coming Thursday Friday. Anyway,
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: that's reason I took the week off, and I'm feeling better,
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: at least better. I don't feel like one hundred percent,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: but I feel a lot better. And I appreciate uh
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Dan Carroll and Garret Jeff Walker covering for me. Will
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: I you know, got myself right back in order and
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: good morning to Rob Ryder heard me comment about it.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: The woman who was sending what she thought was well
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: sending money to a guy she was thought was Liam Neeson,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: the very successful Hollywood film actor. He said something about royalty,
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: but he was like, you gotta send money to somebody. Uh,
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: don't think Liam Neeson needs the jack. And I brought
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: up Rob Ryder, who was in shawsh Anker Redemption one
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: line and he still gets royalty checks from it because
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: that movie is still really popular. And I said something
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: about the twenty seven cents eight fifty You got eight
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: for the entire calendar year. You get eight or fifty
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: bucks for one line in one Hollywood movie. That's what
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: a speaking part will net you. That's what you get
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: for being Remember the Screen Actors Guild. I guess anyway,
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: he is awake. He didn't hear the context for the comedy.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: He has heard his name being mentioned. So good morning,
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Film Actors Guild. That's right, Joe. I had the organization wrong,
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Rober You remember the Film Actors Guild anyhow? Five on
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: three seven four fifty eight hundred and eight two three
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: talk pound five fifty on at and T Fund's got
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: this good, Victor, David Hanson. To that point I want
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: to make Before I get to that, I want to
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: remind you Christopher Smith Aman coming up in one hour
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: and some change seven to twenty every Monday with Christopher Smitheman,
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: who also is out. Thank you very much, Christopher. He
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: gave me a welcome back message. I appreciate that. I
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: am very much looking forward to having you on and
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: to the extent you want to talk about it. This
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: this allegation from this outside entity that was looking at
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: police records and saying that the police will arrest or
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: rather pull over otherwise stop black people in a much
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: much larger number than white people in the city of Cincinnati.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: But even the mayor and the city manager Cheryl Long
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: and counselman Jeffreys all saying, who whoa, whoa, whoa whoa,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: don't listen to it yet. There's a whole lot of
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: problems we've been finding with it. We want someone outside
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: to review it. They didn't involve the police, that didn't
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: involve the city. They did this unilaterally, and they did
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: take some liberties with the data, and I hope he
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: wants to chime in on that. So with that's being said,
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: that'll be the seven to twenty money money with Brian James.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Markets are very happy by the peace deal with Iran
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: and sort of a peace deal. I'm a little given
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: the back and forth that we've been dealing with for
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: the past four months. It's on, it's off. We have
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: ceasefire and no ceasefire, a ceasefire that never was because
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: both sides kept exchanging missile fire e and then this
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: sixty day period to hammer out the details, and we
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: really don't have any details at all about what's in
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: this memorandum, in spite of the fact that both Trump
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: and the Iranians and the you know, the mediators in
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Pakistan have all said, but we've reached the deal for
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: a signature coming Friday, all right. Nothing said about the
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: nuclear dust or whatever nuclear it's. It's something that has
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: to be ironed out. Will the Iranians continue to exact
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: tolls or extract fees from ships going through the trade
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: of Hormuz apparently not yet worked out. Will the Iranians
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: get billions of dollars in held and withheld funds? Some
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: say yes, some say no, no idea. So lot's still
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: going on here anyway. So the market's are really happy
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: at least, and they don't they get happy every time
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump comes out and says we've made progress. Well,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: oil's down eighty three bucks a barrel for West Texas
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Brent crude, the benchmark standards, that's down four percent. So
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: we'll let's talk about the Elon trust being Elon must
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: being a trillionaire, and the tariff coming for French wines
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: coming in at one. I don't know who that benefits
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: but I won't miss it anyhow. Rick Green and Versuy
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: of the day that changed his life. A God's story.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Rick transformed his life in a moment's time with help
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: of God, a true divine intervention. Over to Victor David Hanson, Bobby,
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: You're gonna have to hang on a second. I gotta
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: get this out of my system because perhaps he's being
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: overly optimistic, as I lamented in the last hour, as
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: I have been. Why would you vote for the Democrats
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: in November? Every place you read, uh, history has said
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: that the party in power is going to lose power
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: in the midterm elections. Donald Trump, evil orange man, blah
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah. And I understand inflation is a reality,
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: and I understand Donald Trump promised to lower inflation. But
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: you know, if you believe a campaign pledge like that,
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: some guy can magically wave a wand or sign a
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: piece of paper and inflation will go away. I got
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: a bridge I want to sell you. But maybe he overpledged.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: But are you gonna hold him accountable for this? Well,
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: he started the war with I Ron. Are you going
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: to give him the benefit of credit if this does
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: get resolved positively? Well, price is already coming down. Tom
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: called in about the price of gas running in about
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: three bucks. That's a benefit. Does that give you the
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: relief you're looking for? So you won't commit suicide by
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: voting for the Democrats And that's a metaphorical suicide. Victor
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: David Hanson has this their David Hanson has this to say.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Published over the weekend, The grotesque sexual misconduct involving Democratic
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: politicians from New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to California Representative
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Eric Swalwell has finally put hashtag mee to to rest.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: We were reminded of its demise when it was revealed
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: that Maine senatorial candidate and socialist heartthrob Graham Platner have
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: been discovered to possess a long social media history of
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: crude and pornographic putdowns of women. The demise of Black
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Lives Matter offers another example of recurring left wing phenomenon
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: movements that begin as moral crusades and end as self parodies.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Almost every bom coust saliver has proven fraudulent, following a
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: long tradition that stretches from Al Sharpton's Tawana Brawley myth
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: to the Duke Lacrosse scandal. The aftermath of the death
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: of George Floyd did lasting damage to the country that
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: still reverberates. Just try to remember how he died, I
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: drug over those heart problems and all that. Anyway, the
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: current leftist habit of urban intersection takeovers, statue toppling, name changing,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: and violent demonstrations is a legacy of that summer of lawlessness.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Thousands of police officers nationwide were laid off in defund
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: the police madness fatish, critical race and critical legal theories
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: led to no cash ball on the near immediate release
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: of hundreds of thousands of arrested violent criminals. Our supposedly
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: best universities, in Pavlovian fashion, dropped the SAT admission requirements
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: and upped race based admissions. Administrators and bureaucrats soon created
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: thousands of dei positions across the universities and corporations, and
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: the result was certainly not better race relations. The episodes
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: of existential psychodramas that come in go after doing enormous
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: damage to the nation are nearly endless. Number of US
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: and international agencies and quote unquote experts have now most
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: quietly sighed that global warming was never really an existential
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: danger that the left swoar would put the Earth in
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: the balance in a mere decade. Nonetheless, once again, the
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: toll has been enormous. The left wing postmodern globalist notion
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: of a borderless utopian world that would fuel endless diversity
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: has done so much damage to Western nations that even
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: the European left now fears its own political suicide from
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: the vast influxes of often hostile, illegal aliens. Millions of
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: unlawful and unvetted entrance crashed the borders with no desire
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: to integrate, assimilate, or acculture a to Western hosts. They've
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: spiked crime, fueled anti semitism, and ensured unsustainable social welfare costs.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: The transgender frenzy was to be the left's next civil
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: rights crusade, as it constructed a new victimized class with
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: repertory claims against the guilty traditionalist minority or majority. Rather,
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: soon an epidemic of teens began wondering whether they were
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: in fact trans and pondering whether to undergo a battery
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: of dangerous hormonal and chemical drug regimens. What accounts for
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: these bouts of periodic, collective and suicidal madness. First, the
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: craziness is almost always birthed in the contemporary affluent and
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: leisured West, which alone has the capital and resources to
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: afford such freakish side shows. Second, the frenzies are usually
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: the creation of the left, predictably birthed in universities, the media,
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: and the bureaucracies. They appear with familiar symptoms, the irredeemable, deplorable,
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: and garbage hoy PELOI are supposedly too dense to be
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: properly schooled, and thus must be frightened to death in
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: order to adopt agendas that otherwise appear to them as
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: utterly insane. Throw me among that group of stupid people.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: I guess, pardon me, I handed interject back to it.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Junk your natural gas, dryer and grill, or face massive
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: floods on your coasts. Drop the SAT and defund the police,
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: or face endless race riots, higher thousands of race and
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: gender commissars, or be forever tagged as racist, sexist, homophobes
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: and transphobes. Open the border, let illegal aliens enter by
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: the millions, and thus pay a partial penance for whiteness.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Left is crracked that few Western voters will openly embrace
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: the unpopular elite agenda of racial fixations, globalism, laxity on crime,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: and degrowth environmentalism. So their long term solutions have four
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: predictable aspects. One open the borders to create a more diverse,
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: impoverished and knee underscore for me constituency create number two
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: fate create fake working class pseudo populist candidates like the
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: pampered Graham Platner, the god is non binary New Christian
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: James Tallarico, and of course the wax and effigy of
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: good old Joe Biden from Scranton. Three destroy destroyed time
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: tested systems by seeking to demolish the electoral College, the
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: fifty State Union, the Senate filibuster in the nine justice
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Supreme Court. Four gin up these end of day's pseudo
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: existential crises, whose solutions require massive new taxes, bigger government,
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: and more dictatorial elite managers. One good sign of growing
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: antidotes is that increasingly Americans and indeed all Westerners, are
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: saying no to green harangars, gender and sex demagogues in
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: the race baiting industry, the open borders conglomerate, and ungrateful immigrants.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: The pushback might be summed up as quote, we are
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: no longer going to allow you to destroy ancient traditions
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: that ensure our prosperity, security, security, and liberty, and which
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: we're handed down to us by generations far better than
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: your own. Close Quote Amen, Victor David Hanson. This kind
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: of thing I'm talking about, I mean, he's observing the
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: pushback on the nonsense, the insane stuff that no normal,
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: rational human being we've ever embraced in the first place,
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: and yet they were able to creep into it and
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: make inroads into our society and get elected doing it.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: Is that what you're gonna vote for? Just because you
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: hate evil Orange Man six eighteen, but you five KRC
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: Detalk station, A couple of colors online, including Rob Ryder
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: in addition to Bopy one to you, Christopher Smidman a
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: little less than one hour, reminding you to sign the petition.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: We'll tell given an opportunity to talk about that multiple locations.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: I give you that information an a minute. By First,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: let's go to the phones. We'll start with Rob. Right, Rob,
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: welcome back man. You heard your name mentioned without context
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: and why I was being mentioned? But yes, royalty checks,
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: I don't imagine Liam Neeson has a problem financially given
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: all the movies he's no.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: I agree with that.
• 46:10
  Speaker 10: And I did hear that the guy who played the
• 46:13
  Speaker 10: warden in Shawshank Redemption, Bob Gunton, said in the twentieth
• 46:19
  Speaker 10: anniversary of the film. He was interviewed by I believe
• 46:22
  Speaker 10: the New York Times magazine and he said that that
• 46:25
  Speaker 10: film has allowed him to make a comfortable living.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: That's amazing that one film.
• 46:31
  Speaker 10: So, and I was on set for five days for
• 46:33
  Speaker 10: that movie, and that's why I got a little more.
• 46:36
  Speaker 10: I've got friends from Cincinnati who were on the set
• 46:38
  Speaker 10: for one day who didn't make as much. But I
• 46:40
  Speaker 10: was there for five days for one freaking line.
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: One freaking line. But see, wasn't it the one line
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: that gave you higher royalties or at least a bigger slice,
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: Because I've heard that's that's the really get the foot
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: in the door where the money comes from. Not a
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: whole lot, necessarily for smaller parts.
• 46:53
  Speaker 10: But still, well, when you get a line, you get
• 46:56
  Speaker 10: a credit.
• 46:57
  Speaker 8: So that's that was helpful.
• 46:58
  Speaker 10: So I got that for five days made a difference anyway.
• 47:02
  Speaker 6: It was.
• 47:02
  Speaker 10: It was a wonderful experience. I was up there and
• 47:06
  Speaker 10: saw the prison while back. I love the victor David Hanson. Peace,
• 47:09
  Speaker 10: you just read that. I go back fifty plus years
• 47:13
  Speaker 10: when Time magazine said we're going into an ice age.
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: We're gonna die.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: I know, I remember like it was yesterday. My My
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: favorite reminder is the Leonard Nimoy in Search of episode,
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: which you can find on YouTube, that was we were
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: all going to freeze the death and die. Oh my god,
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: it's climate change. Yeah I know, I know. And then
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: when it didn't happen, they change it or to global warming.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: And then when that really didn't change, and it's now
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: climate change. So literally every weather event can now be
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: blamed on your and my exhelation. We all need to die.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: It's crazy. Rob always great here today, mans, Miss Glad
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: you're feeling better, partner. Thanks brother, good to hear from you. Man.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: Take care of yourself and enjoy those royalty checks. Bobby,
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Morning Show, and a happy Monday
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: A happy Monday, brother, Glad, you're back. Faith flagged family,
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: and watch out where you drive in Cincinnati.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: Well there's always that once you throw into firearms. Because
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: my next commercial is going to be for twenty two three.
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: Hey, that's always a nice place to go. Good people,
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: good clean range. Anybody goes out there, they'll always go back.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: Thank you, ma'am. They're going to get two spots out
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: of this little Nett mentioned, well, what about.
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: The piece out of Columbus, Ohio. They usually use the
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: word Cincinnati enquire but you know it's a Columbus rag anyway,
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: isn't it.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: Well they've kind of melded into one big sort of
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: regurgitation of whatever shows up in the USA today. For
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: my estimate, that's what.
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: I would say. Also, and I tell you what, I
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: think that hit piece was the best thing in the
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: world for the FOP. All it does is all it
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: does is show the bias of getting the police apartment
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: when you go to certain areas like Bombhill or if
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: you go to Clifton, or you go to areas that
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: are eight per black. Who in the world do you
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: think you're pulling over well belong blue whide devil or
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: something out riding around two thirty in the morning. That
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: doesn't happen. And that'd be realistic about why.

  Speaker 2: I please say, summer remains the most critical time of
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: year in fighting against youth gun violence. One local neighborhood
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: trying to reverse the trend, The Winton Terrorist Community organize
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: in March and Human Change promote peace and stopping violence,
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: urging kids to have a Saved Summer. Organizers told dozens
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: of young people and parents, each and every one of
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: you guys got a part to play in this. Mitch Morris,
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: founder of Save Our Youth Kings and Queen's, organized the
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: event he calls win on Winneste. Overall, shootings have declined
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: citywide in recent years. Juvenile shootings, however, remained steady, with
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: more than forty teen shot in both twenty twenty four
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: and twenty twenty five. Council member Analbi said safety is
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: the administration's top priority. Take her to word. Wittenhill's his
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: neighborhood that has been hit by pretty hard by gun
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: violence in the past handful of months. Here all you said,
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: I know for my perch as a city official, perch, Joe,
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: She's sitting on a perch.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: Anyway.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: We're working really hard to make sure that the kids
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: and the families here feel safe. That means improvements the lighting,
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: making sure we have patrols out here, and giving kids
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: those fun safe places at night. Well, I gotta applaud
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: the community for stepping up and say we need to
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: do something about it. I mean ending gun violence. It
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: starts right at home and write in your own community
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: some plan from sin say, City council is not going
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: to change the dynamic hiring a non governmental organization with
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: community organizers or whatever. I don't know how much good
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: that does. How is it that youth violence remains pretty
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: static and on the upswing when we had all this
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: money thrown in, all these programs that are designed for
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: the purposes of stopping youth gun violence and violence generally speaking,
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: it starts at home. Teach your children well. Six thirty

  Speaker 2: Smithan coming up at seven twenty. Make sure you pull
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: up the podcast page fifty five KC dot com and
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: see what he's got in his mind today. And I
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: hope he does address this crime report that came out.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: Also in the petition he would like you to sign.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: Anybody who's a registered voter in the City of Cincinnati
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: really should consider very strongly signing the petition in the
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: circulating to require council's involvement in the hiring and firing
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: of the police chief and the fire chief. You know,
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: we see what happens when city Manager Cheryl Long has
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: left to her own devices. I mean, we go through
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: all these problems and find out that people are terminated
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: without cause, no specific reason cited. It's happened twice. Chief Washington,
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: former fire chiefs got his litigation all queued up. We
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: expect him to get a big fat paycheck. And we
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: think the same thing is going to happen with Police Chiefdiji.
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: In the final analysis, they had no reason whatsoever to
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: fire her. When they fired her, it's just the optics
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: are terrible. So if you had counsel's involvement right, you
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: would have people raising their hands in asking questions, engaging
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: in what we would hope to be a constructive debate,
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: and at least letting the public generally know why someone
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: has been hired or more fundamentally, when they get fired.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: Do you think that the city council would just let
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: the comments of Cheryl Long go like, now I fired
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: him because well he deserved to be fired, or she oh, okay,
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: here I approve that with no explanation, though it couldn't
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: happen well anyway to sign the petition. Dell High Barber's
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: on Greenwell Avenue next to Maloney's Pub. Christopher told me
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: that this morning, Jim and Jackson the River, Yes, there's
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: a petition there, and Dave Backer Auto on Glenway. So
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: all three locations you can sign the petition and please
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: please do that, and thank you to Aaron. Talking about
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: this global the global warming nonsense, Victor David Hanson brought
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: that up as one of the most self destructive pillars
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: of leftist lunacy in the op ed I read earlier. No,
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: it's no longer you're killing the planet. They've kind of
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: backed off that, and they had to because well, since
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: al Gore came out with his movie almost twenty years ago,
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: none of it has happened. More fundamentally, going back in
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: time to the mid seventies and a little bit earlier,
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: that's when we were all going to die because of
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: the next Ice Age coming Ice Age. They literally called
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: it that. I believe that was that in search of
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: episode that I regularly refer to, and you can find
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: that on YouTube. So he sends me four Time magazines
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: cover and thanks again. Aaron. Nineteen seventy three, Time magazine
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: headlined the Big Freeze with the cartoon caricature of his
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: blue guy with ice all over im, you know, looking
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: at the temperature forecast on his on his newspaper in
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: front of him, with a drop in temperatures. Nineteen seventy seven,
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: The Big Freeze. You may recall that locally because we
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: had the blizzard and the Ohio River quit flowing. It
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: was frozen over. I know a lot of people who
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: walked over it in had happened before, and it hasn't
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: happened since. Why because global warming showed up right Time
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: magazine cover It's a frying pan with an egg frying
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: it global Warming, And then to two thousand and six headline,
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: tire front page Time magazine special report global Warming. Be worried,
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: be very in red worried. Okay, sea levels haven't risen?
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: Is Martha's Vineyard or New York City underwater? Joe? I
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: haven't been to either of those places. I've never been
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: to Martha's Vineyard, but I know Barack Obama bought a
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: house there. No is it happening? I mean, after the
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: morning show is over? Might it have happened? Then no, yeah,
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: you check on that. It's insane and we've spent trillions folks. Again,
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: my off sited long list of once in demands from government.
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: What might have happened to the literally trillions and trillions
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: of dollars that have flown into the global warming scam
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: or the now climate change scam? Since anything now is
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: your fault, just countless trillions of dollars. Imagine the world
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: will be a much better place. Hell, it would be
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: a much better place we didn't spend it in the
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: first place. Wouldn't have this national death that's going to
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: end up being it's which is really the truest existential
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: threat to our country at two hundred and fifty years. Right,
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: we spend too much and a lot of money we
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: spend on things that are stupid and fall into the
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: category as Victor David Hanson identified it as op ed
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: piece that I read a moment ago. Right, why do
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: we fall for stuff like this? Six forty five? If
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: you five KRC the talk station bod Herbert motorization, it
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: is six point fifty here. If you have KRCD talk
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: station trying to make it a happy Monday, if you
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: can find something to be happy about that. Saw those
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: new polls those Americans we no longer feel proud of
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: the Americans just really really said, we see news poll
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: Democratic posters Jeff horwitten Heart Research Associates as well as
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: Republican polster Bill McInturff polled like twenty five hundred people
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: at the turn of the century. They've just summarized three
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: quarters of Americans were extremely or very proud of America.
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: Generally speaking, that is now only fifty six percent. And
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: when you look at the demographics on of the breakdown
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: among age groups, you know, our children have been thoroughly
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: brainwashed and believing this great land of ours, which does
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: have wartz, is irredeemable. That's my word for it. Just
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: no sense of perspective. I think every human being should
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: be forced to go out into the world and live,
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: at least spend a week or two in some foreign land,
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: come back with nude respect for where we are and
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: what country you live in. Over the felt Let's see
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: what Mat Scott this morning. Matt, welcome to the morning,
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: showing a very happy Monday to you morning.
• 59:54
  Speaker 8: Viron.
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 59:55
  Speaker 11: I was listening to your article there on the transgender
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 11: saying and all that.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you know how.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 11: Long it's probably going to be a couple of decades
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 11: before the Demo rat rights knew that transgenderism, how many
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 11: genders there are, and say, oh, the Republicans. Look, you know,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 11: the Republicans are pushing back then, and then they'll use
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 11: it and turn that against the Republicans even though they're
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 11: the ones that started it and they've done it in
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 11: the past. Slavery and all that racism that all started
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 11: with the Democrats kkk. They owned all the slaves and
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 11: you know, yeah that book. It's like in that book
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 11: nineteen eighty four Big Brother. One minute their war with
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 11: East Asia and then the next minute the war worth
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 11: there war with.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: Your age your agent. Right, Yeah, no, we've always been
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: at war. Yeah, I know, Matt, You're exactly right, very
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: very astute observation. Now I can't see it, but I
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: suppose back in the UH in the Jim Crow South,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: thanks to the Democrats and the ku Klux Klan who
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: supported the Democrats, who were creating the Democrats were pushing
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: for this, and one day I guess they woke up
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: and like, oh, wow, that was a really really bad idea. Wow,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: we had the Civil War and a whole bunch of
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: white people fought for the freedom of the slaves, and
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: here we were trying to cling to an old, outdated
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: and disgusting notion that black people were something lesser. We
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: need to transform our party. Now they're blaming the Republicans
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: for everything that's good. So down the road you paid
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: an interesting perspective. Jeez, be really screwed up with this
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: whole thing men can just claim to be women and
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: then getting them at women's restrooms. That was a really
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: bad idea. Let's figure a way of blaming the Republicans
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: for it. And you know what, people who are not
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: students of history, like apparently most everyone in America who
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: thinks that the Republicans are responsible for slavery, will buy
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: into it. Maybe that's how we end up with that
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: whole list, that freak show list of Victor David Hanson
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: pointed out that people bought into and now reject thoroughly
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: because well, it's just and always was bat crap insane.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: Thank you, my friend, appreciate that. James. Welcome to the
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: Shaw and a happy Monday to you, sir.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 8: Hey, good morning, Brian. I hope you're feeling better.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: Today a little bit James, I appreciate it.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 8: I have a question concerning Smith, and I did call
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 8: him twice and one at a time was I was
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 8: gonna ask him why the number seven? How did he
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 8: come up we need seven on here?
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: Why not three or five supermajority? I think just to
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: make sure it's at least a super majority. You can't
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: get counsel in spite of the political makeup of James.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you can't get counseled one hundred percent on anything,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: but at least if it's seven, maybe that'll require more
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: thorough debate. I can sure ask him about it. James,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: no problem with that.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 8: And also so many black peoples are concerned that this
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 8: would nagate the collaborative agreement, so he need to speak
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 8: on that. Whether it affected collaborative agreement or not.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure in what way, James, do you perceive
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: it would impact collaborative agreement because all I know is
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: you know this is solely involving the hiring and firing
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: of the chiefs of the police and Fire Department. It
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: wouldn't change the underlying terms and obligations police have. The
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: reform moves and measures that were put into place after
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: the collaborative agreement, and it certainly wouldn't stop any oversight
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: of the police or fire departments, as the case may be.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: It's just who gets to run the show.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 8: Now, you say it that on your station, but Smithman
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 8: needs to get that out on black stations, a black environment,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 8: so they can explain. Like I say, so many people
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 8: saying sure, they're not gonna touch that.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: So collaborative agreement. I got it written down, James, number one?
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: Why seven number two? Will it impact collaborative agreement? Christopher's
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: going to be on at seven to twenty. I've got
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: no problem asking both of those questions. I'm happy to
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: do with my friend. Appreciate you chiming in out of
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: time in the hour, James, good to hear from you.

  Speaker 2: I'll take the five years I got last time, but
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: if I get five more years at this time, I'll
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: be okay with it. Don't expect it to be cured,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: but I am. I'm very happy I've got good medical care.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: Something else we need to be happy about in the
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: United States of America is as unfortunate as our medical
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: system is. It's still the best in the planet. Anyhow,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: coming up Christopher smitham and at seven twenty and I
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: will ask him about the the signature the campaign, and please,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: I'm encouraging you again because Christopher's going to do it
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: as well. Get into Jim and Jackson's some of the
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: other locations where you can sign the petition, which will
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: require at least seven council members to comment on or
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: at least chime in on hiring and firing of the
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: police and fire chiefs. I can't imagine that is a
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: bad development. It sounds like a great one to me.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: Considering what we've been through thus far with Chief Washington
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: and Chief Thiji. Coming up money Monday, Brian James one
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: r from now markets are really happy about this peace
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: deal with Iran, but is it really one? Sorry, put
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: me in the column of skeptical. We'll talk about Elon
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: Trust being a trillionaire. I don't find that to be
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: a problem. And finally, apparently people want the products he's making.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: Plus one hundred percent wine tariffs. At least it's wine
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: from just France. You'll still have a multitude of other
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: options if it does go up. Then Rick Green, what amazing,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: amazing miracle will happened to? Rick Green? Drug addict, convicted criminal,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: did time in prison, had serious alcohol problem and addiction problems,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: and just woke up one day and said, I'm not
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: doing it with God's health. He believes God touched his
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: shoulder and laid hands on him metaphorically speaking, and he's
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: never been the same since transformed his life. It's the
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: anniversary of the day that that happened. He'll be in
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: studio at eight forty five one three seven nine fifty
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: eight hundred and eight two to three top pound five
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: fifty on h G and g fon Jieh. I'm cynical
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: and kind of worried about this. We have reached an
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: initial agreement both the Iranians and the United States pursued
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: with Trump announcing it, have got at least a framework
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: of a deal. Although, as I mentioned earlier in the show,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: if you can find the written verbiage the details of
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: the agreement that they allegedly are going to sign on Friday,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: please forward to belong to me, because apparently no one
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: from the Wall Street Journal over to Politico and every
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: left and right wing and everything in the middle news
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: reporting have just said something along the lines of details
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: of the deal were not immediately released. Allegedly, it's going
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: to open the straight of horror moves as well as
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: end our blockade of the Iranian ports. On Friday Friday,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: Pakistani media said that would that is what would happen. However,
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: what remains is all the swirling details that are apparently
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: not worked out. The deal apparently gives about sixty days
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: to resolve well a multitude of problems outstanding issues like
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: Iran's nuclear program that's going to have to be resolved
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: within the next sixty days. They say, though the timeline
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: could be extended if they don't reach a deal within
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: the sixty day period, so then that might be a
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: little more waiting, but at least you wouldn't have bombs
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: being thrown at each other in the meantime. Another swirling
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: question is what they're going to do about Israel and Lebanon,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: because the Iranians have come out and pretty much repeatedly
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: stayed stated that Lebanon must be a part of the deal.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: Israel can no longer hit Lebanon. But you know what
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: that means. The Iranians have to tell has Bald to
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: quit fire rockets in Israel. I know the Israelis were
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: involved in the initial attack, this epic fury thing, and
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: I know they want to get rid of your Iranians too,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: because the Iranians literally want to blow Israel off the map.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: That's why they want to bomb. So I understand that,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: but are anyway They don't seem to be part of
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: the negotiation process. In fact, Israel didn't say anything yesterday
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: with this announcement that there was going to be a
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: signature on Friday. No immediate comment from Israel, although they
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: were shooting at each other over the weekend, So swirling
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: swirling questions around that. Do you think it can happen?
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: I suppose, I sure hope. So bottom line is, you know,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: like every positive development in the negotiations that's been reported
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: in the media, there have been a positive impact on
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: the stock markets. And futures are up this morning, and
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: smile because you know the price of gasoline has already
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: started to come down, and the benchmark C bent crude
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: is trading four percent, maybe a little bit more down
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: in early trading, so it's down to eighty three bucks
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: a barrel. That spells good news for you, least in
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: terms of filling your gas tankup. And is that going
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: to be enough? I know people are upset about inflation,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: and I commented about this early within the context of
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: the craziness Victor David Hanson's op ed piece, you know,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: the most self destructive pillars of lefty lunacy finally begin
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: to fall talking about all these crazy policies that we
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: chased our tale around trying to prevent or stop or
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: otherwise alter that really were nothing like the whole transition.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: Where did that come from? That guys can declare themselves
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: to be women and we're supposed to accept that they
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: are actually women, not just saying they are. And I'm
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: not transphobic. I can live in a world where someone
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: says they're a woman. I don't have to agree with that.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: That's the only point of contention I've got with the
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: whole topic. But in New York now referring to a
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: man as nonjes dating parent in the law. You can't
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: even call a man a man and a woman a
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: woman anymore because of this, Where did that issue come from? Fabricated?
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: Brought up? Who knows? But pivoting over a couple other
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: fun facts. I saw this other piece which kind of
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: dovetails quite nicely into Victor David Hanson. So you've got
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: this problem out in California they are, Well, if you
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: don't sense there's a problem with the California voting, then
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think you've been paying attention to it. They
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: have kept conservative Spencer Pratt off of the November ballot. See,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: you now have either a socialist or an uber socialist
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: to choose from because of their crazy voting system. And
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: it's they've been finding out that they had massive, massive
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: ballots coming in from like homeless camps and really concentrated
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: populations of people who you would otherwise expect not to vote,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: people gathering signatures, and several articles referring to people being
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: paid to sive off on the ballots that they were issued.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: Because every man, woman, and not child, but every person
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: in California gets a ballot. It's a registered You are
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: registered to vote when you go get your driver's license.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: For example, whether or not you're an ill immigrant or not.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: Federal losses illegal immigrants can't vote. We've been trying, the
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: Justice Department has been trying to get the records from
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: California to make sure that the federal laws have been followed,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: California being obstructionist and of course not handing that in.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: So you've got a lot of problems over there. But
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: look what your choices are. As a consequence of this
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: ridiculous voting system. They have only the top two candidates
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: get to run, So you have a choice between a
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: socialist and an uber socialist. What's going on in La
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: Something Pratt has been pointing out Spencer Pratt, and he
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: is on fire on social media, pointing out all the
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: warts and problems brought about by well electing idiots with
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: stupid policies. Los Angeles has the largest homeless population in
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: the nation. It grew by ten percent in twenty twenty three.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: Now spending an estimated one point three billion dollars every
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: year to really pretty effectively make the homeless more comfortable
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: and keep them on the streets. You had the whole
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: problem with the Palisades fire. Fire hoses didn't work where
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: firs were empty. The mayor was out of the country.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: People lost their homes burned to the ground. When's the permit. Yeah,
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: they won't even issue permits out in California. That's the administration.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles Mayor Karen Vass. More than fifty four thousand
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: residents of Los Angeles County left in the last twelve
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: month period, walked out. They've had it up to their eyeballs.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: The best, the smartest, the most, the people generating taxes
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: have left the building. Same thing happened in New York.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: Zorhan Mam Dami Kami, you voted for a communist there.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: Their budget, this is hard to believe. They got eight
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: point five million people in New York. Their budget is
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: more than the budget for the entire state of Florida,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: where twenty three point five million people reside. And yet
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: it's still not enough to pay for everything that mom
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: Dami has on his socialist wish list. While every one
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: flees hundreds and hundreds of businesses, you can got your
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: millionaires in, your billionaires packing up and heading on too. Yeah,
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: places like Florida and Texas. Same thing happened on the
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: California side of the equation. Do you get the picture
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: that something is wrong?
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: Margaret Thatcher said, you have the biggest promise socialism. You
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: run out of other people's money. They are putting this.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: This is real time. This isn't a student of history.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry you forgot to study what happened every other
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: time this happened. You can watch it unfold before your
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: very eyes. And I'll go back to the point I've
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: been making. We got November fast approaching. Yes, inflation is up.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: But if you're mad at evil Orange man, do you
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: really think that you want exactly what I've just mentioned,
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: just small snippets of the reality you get in commie land,
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: in socialist land? Is that what you want? I'll pivot
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: over to brief comment about my favorite professor or teacher
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: of all time, Chuck. I'm sorry, man, you bomb me
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: out the other day. He can't find anything apparently redeeming
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: in Vivek Ramaswami, and he doesn't like Amy acting either,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: so he's not gonna vote. I'm sorry to pick on you, man,
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: but you want to post it on social media. Listen,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: you know you're gonna throw out the good for the
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: sake of the perfect. You're gonna have a problem with
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: Ramaswamy because of bitcoin or something like that. He's a proven, successful,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: brilliant businessman. He's sharp on his feet, he's got great
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: ideas for the state of Ohio. Maybe I don't even
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: agree with him one hundred percent of the time. Find
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: me a human being that I agree with one hundred
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: percent of the time, right. I hear it from my
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: listeners all the time, Brian, I listen to you all
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: the time. But you know what, I only agree with
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: you about eighty percent, and I get ninety percent. Occasionally
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: I say smile and say, you know what, that's great.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: I say, okay with me, and maybe we can talk
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: about those disagreements together in a you know, a reasonable fashion,
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: like adults do and we do. You're gonna try to
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: find the perfect. Good luck with that, go ahead, sit
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: it out and Amy Acting. I've also very disturbed, and
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: we talk about allegations of racism, people actually coming out
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: and saying they don't like VvE Ramaswami because of the
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: color of his skin to the fact that he's Hindu.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: We don't live in a theocracy, and I thought we
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: were living in a post racial world. You would not
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: vote for a man who would be demonstrably better as
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: a governor in the state than Amy Acting, who We've
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: got a record to show what she has done to us.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: Amy lockdown acting because he's got a different skin color
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: than you. That is so so damn disappointing. Christopher Smithman
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: up next seven sim' Smidman, welcome back to the program,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: my friend. Love having you on the show.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 7: Oh thanks for having me on, Brian. I really appreciate
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 7: it and I'm excited to come on. Let me just
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 7: you know, chime in on all the people who continue
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 7: to pray for you and pray for you, know as
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 7: you go through the chemo treatment, you know, full complete healing.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 7: Thanks what we're praying for, right.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: Thank you man.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 3: I'll take you back.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: I'll just take a break in the growth of it.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: You know, I got five years out of the last one.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: I appreciate the prayers the last time around, and I'll
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: take all I can get this time. And it just
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: it's really a glorious and grand thing for me, just
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: to have to know that there are actually people in
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: this world who care enough about me to send a
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: prayer my way. Man, that's truly a life's miracle, and
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: it does get me by Thank you very much, Christopher.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: It's also great having you as a friend. There's another
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: one in life's little miracles.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 7: Oh well, I agree, man, is that is a shared
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 7: feeling between us. So we just gotta we just got
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 7: to keep pushing through life because it is very complicated
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 7: and not easy for anyone. Yeah, period, not easy for anyone. Yeah,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 7: I heard you had some questions this morning about our petition.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, real quick, missim James called. It's the petition
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: to get at least seven council members to thumbs up
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: or thumbs down on hiring and firing of the chief
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: of police and the fire chief. I get it all
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: day long. With what happened to Chief Washington, what happened
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: to Chief fij fired for no reason, with swirling question
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: behind the scene. City Manager Long apparently has the sole
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: authority to do that, So why not get council involved?
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: First off, he wants to know why seven as opposed
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: to simple majority And the other thing, will it impact
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: the collaborative Agreement at all by putting this in place,
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: assuming people sign a petition and vote for it.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 7: Boy, The second one is a layup. Although this has
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 7: nothing to do with the Collaborative Agreement, and this notion
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 7: that it does right is being placed and put out
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 7: there by missus Irish Rollie. So she's suggesting that us
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 7: bringing more transparency to the hiring and firing of police
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 7: and fire chiefs in the future has anything to do
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 7: with the collaborative Agreement. Let me make a quick point
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 7: here two points. Number one, why would we want one
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 7: sole person making the decision about who's hired and who's
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 7: fired in the City of cincinaty related to two positions.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 7: Number two, the city manager herself cannot be terminated without
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 7: seven members of council saying yes. So it is the
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 7: exact same process that she affords herself right now in
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 7: her current position. And so the question, the second question
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 7: is they're nine members of council and why you say
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 7: seven out of nine is because to get to seven,
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 7: it tells you there's something egregious going on. If it
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 7: were five or four, five to four, like in the
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 7: Senate they say we want sixty votes instead of fifty. Here,
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 7: it just says, it's a heavier lift here to say,
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 7: you've got to get those two extra members of council
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 7: out of nine to say whatever is happening related to
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 7: that fire chief or police chief's employment, it's serious, serious
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 7: enough for seven to say, hey, you're going to lose
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 7: your job, or not lose your job. In this case.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 8: If you can.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 7: Imagine, the city manager comes before council is saying it,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 7: I want to fire the fire chief, and I want you.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 7: I don't think i've ever said this. The reason, my speculation,
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 7: not a fact, of why I believe the fire chief
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 7: was terminated is this simple. The mayor wanted his own
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 7: fire chief. Remember this fire chief was hired by John Cranley.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 7: And politicians get a little you know, they're like, I
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 7: want my own people, I want my own administration around me.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 7: So they instead of going to Chief Washington and saying, hey,
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 7: Chief Washington, we want to change horses here, right, they
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 7: just went to him and just violently fired him without cause.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 7: Now that's speculation, but I don't think the public appreciates
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 7: that fire Chief Washington was hired by the previous administration.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 7: He was left over. He had only served two years.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 7: And I think this mayor wanted him out. It's that simple.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 7: And because the mayor has the power to recommend termination
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 7: of the city manager. Yeah, he or she holds tremendous
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 7: power over the executive and so he says, I want
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 7: this person out, and that city manager goes and does
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 7: the bidding, the bidding of the mayor. I think that's
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 7: how it ultimately played out.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: Well, let's boss concernt the time in this segment. I
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: just have to observe. You know, question mark, was Chief
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: Washington doing a poor job. If it was a poor job,
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: then there was a reason to fire him. So what's
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: wrong with leaving him in place if he's doing a
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: good job. And I would say, it's really damn childish
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: to just do it, because I want my guy Lord
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: talk station seven thirty two. If you have a k
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: City talk station and Brian Thomas with Christopher Smith and
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: doing that smither and anything, Christopher, you got the floor,
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: my brother? What else is going on?
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 7: Well, let's just stay with this just for a quick
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 7: certain because citizens can sign the petition. You know, sometimes
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 7: we say what can we do? You know, how can
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 7: I put it together and help? And right now we
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 7: need citizens in Cincinnati to come and sign the petition.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 7: And so there there are three locations. One is Dale
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 7: High Barber's four roh to Greenwell Avenue. The owner there
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 7: is Victor Fabreau. He lives in Price Hill, but he's
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 7: the barber there. You can he has the petition, you
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 7: can sign it. Dave Backer Auto, he has the petition.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 7: There's there are city people that work there. They have
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 7: the petition. And then Jim and Jack on River Road
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 7: people can come in and sign the sign the petition.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 7: And so the question is, and we have a lot
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 7: of other people that have petitions in their hands and
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 7: they're they're running around and they're collecting signatures. I want
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 7: to just explain that signing the petition doesn't even say
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 7: whether you support the issue. It means you believe in
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 7: democracy and you believe in November that citizens have the
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 7: right to say yes or no. You know, sometimes what
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 7: happens here is what democrats tend to do in our
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 7: city is say don't sign, don't sign, don't sign. Some
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 7: of them are common, right. The reality of it is
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 7: is signing the petition doesn't say yes, I support the issue.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 7: This is the beginning of citizens engaging in their process
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 7: to petition their government saying we'd like to see this
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 7: issue on the ballot. So it's not even about sorting
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 7: out whether you like it or not. Do you agree
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 7: that we have the right to petition our government to
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 7: place the issue on the ballot? And the issue is
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 7: simply as saying we don't want this power vested in
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 7: the city manager. Why do we want a consultant? And
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 7: I'll end with this part of it having the power
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 7: to influence the city manager on who to hire and
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 7: fire in the police department without us knowing about it.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: You're talking about irawling, so correct.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 7: I'm saying we have somebody working very closely, we have
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 7: the mayor who can put influence on the city manager,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 7: and none of the other people that we've elected have
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 7: any insight to say yes or no to it. I
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 7: think we have a problem here, and this has nothing
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 7: to do with the collaborative agreement. And the only reason
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 7: someone would assert that is they're attempting to assert race
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 7: into this discussion. Let me remind the public that Chief Washington,
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 7: Michael Washington, who was terminated, is a black American. A
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 7: lot of people don't even know that Chief Washington is
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 7: a black American. So when people say, well, this has
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 7: everything to do with the collaborative agreement and Chief Fiji
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 7: is a white female, right there, reality, we don't care
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 7: about you and I and you're listening artists. We don't
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 7: care about what the gender is with the race of
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 7: the version. We're talking about the process, and we're saying
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 7: we don't want any city manager in the future to
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 7: solely have the power to make this decision and us
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 7: the taxpayers. When Chief Washington settles this lawsuit Brian Thomas
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 7: by the end of the year, prior to this even
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 7: being voted on, he's going to get at a minimum,
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 7: in my estimation, five minutes million, and he probably will
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 7: get north of ten million if they go to trial
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 7: because the lower court has already said you had no
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 7: cause to fire him. Chief Fiji is going through the
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 7: administrative process, so she hasn't started her litigation, so her
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 7: litigation might go on for three years, but Chief Washington's
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 7: will be settled this year. He's already three years in
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 7: Brian Thomas and it's going to be a massive settlement
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 7: for a decision a city manager made without the Board
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 7: of Trustees, the nine members of council. Thank you for
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 7: allowing me to stretch out on that a citizen called
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 7: in and after that when we come back, brother, I
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 7: do have some very hot topics with a lot of
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 7: energy and out.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 7: Part of it is the traffic stops study that was
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 7: just dropped like a grenade in the middle of our community.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that will be from campaign zero, a project of
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: we the protesters ink wid started in the talks station
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: seven they think about Kerosite talk station continuing the Smitherman
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: pivoting over to the topic, Christopher Smithvan again you have
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: the floor. Let's talk about this survey that was done
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: suggesting the Cincinni Police Department or I guess races because
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: of the breakdown of traffic stops. Go ahead and have
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: at it, my friend.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 7: First, let me be clear straight out of the gate,
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 7: our Cincinnati Police Department is one of the best run,
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 7: the best diverse, the most diverse by race and gender
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 7: in the city of Cincinnati. There is no department right
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 7: in the city that has the level of diversity Black Americans,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 7: White Americans, Latino Americans, women, men, Asian, you name it,
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 7: We've got it. Yeah right, There is no department. So
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 7: the reality of it is there are black American police
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 7: officers who are also out there doing stops.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: Yea.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 7: And to assert that those Black Americans, I'm gonna get
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 7: to the white too, but get to assert that the
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 7: Black Americans are racist because they're pulling a car over
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 7: is insane. Meaning our officers are out there doing their job.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 7: Number two, our white officers who are stopping cars, which
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 7: is what we want them to do. It's called proactive policeing.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 7: Somebody is rolling through, they don't have a license plate,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 7: or they're driving fifty or sixty or sixty five miles
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 7: an hour bond Hill right down Reading Road into Roslon,
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 7: jumping in and out a car. If you want a
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 7: safe place, a safe zone where our children are crossing
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 7: the crosswalk going across deal over on the other side,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 7: or California who are catching the bus on either side,
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 7: you gotta slow traffic down. And the bond Hill Community
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 7: Council has been requesting that the police come and do
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 7: that kind of traffic control in their business district. Roseline
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 7: has been requesting that the police come places like Price
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 7: Hill On Warsaw full of prostitution, full of drug trafficking,
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 7: the McDonald's, and the Kroger's at the top right over
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 7: by seating an elder. They've been requesting that the police comes.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 7: This methodology. You and I don't know anything about what
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 7: this group is, who they are, who pay for it,
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 7: how they came up with their numbers. It is insane
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 7: to just drop a report like this and say, hey man,
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 7: the Cincinnati Police Department are racist. But here's the motivation.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 7: Here's the motivation. The motivation is to secure more contracts
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 7: with the city. The motivation is to push the agenda
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 7: that the Collaborative Agreement and all these other things that
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 7: we've been through we are on the other side of.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 7: We've got to make sure we bring it back in
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 7: order to justify spending war more and more and more
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 7: money on things like that. That's where we are.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: Well, that's where these NGOs come from. You know, where
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: you don't have a genuine problem, you create one. We
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: learned from the Southern Property Law Center they were paying
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: KKK members to gin up and to talk about you know,
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: racist acts and violent acts and to be warned about them.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: They were paid to do that. Those I mean, they
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have allegations if it wasn't for a paycheck coming
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: from one of these outside entities. Was once you know,
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: oh my god, they are the you know, the gold
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: standard for identifying hate groups. Well it turns out there
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: wasn't really a whole lot of hate there, so they
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: had to pay to make some up.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 7: I really played that the sentinels who are organization connected
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 7: will speak out very publicly about their brothers and sisters
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 7: who are in law enforcement and literally hold a press conference.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 7: It's been my dream that the sentinels get a voice
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 7: here and say this is absolutely unacceptable and wrong. Okay,
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 7: but I'm sharing with you. The motivation is money, the
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 7: motivation is power, the motivation is politics. Right, we want
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 7: to move into the November election in Cincinnati and gin
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 7: up black Americans who are by the way, Brian Thomas
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 7: requesting that the police come into their neighborhoods. This suggestion
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 7: that the small percentage of criminals that are in our city,
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 7: black or white, Right, that's the super majority of us
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 7: black and white, Latino Asian male or female aren't getting
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 7: up every day, right, now driving into work. They're listening
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 7: to us as they drive into work every single day.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 7: They are law abiding citizens, and those law abiding citizens
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 7: are calling the police and wanting them to come in.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 7: I bet that wasn't a part of any of it.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 7: Meaning it's not just about traffic stops. It's about the
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 7: community coming together. Brian Thomas, I served as the vice
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 7: mayor for a long time, and they the community council
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 7: say we would like the police to come in and
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 7: aggressively police this area. I guarantee you there was no
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 7: connection between the stops and those resolutions that are coming
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 7: from our community councils, meaning they were requested to come
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 7: in and do those stops to slow down traffic so
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 7: our children are being run down in the middle of
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 7: the street. Or there's gun violence like we saw in
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 7: Millsville ride through boom boom boom boom boom boom boom
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 7: boom boom boom boom boom boom this weekend. Or the
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 7: twenty five year old Yale Right who was killed right
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 7: in villages of roll Hill, Michael Smith guide aged twenty five,
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 7: boom boom boom boom boom shot down. Guess what the
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 7: community did. The community rally together. We want stay streets,
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 7: get the gun down. They did that this weekend.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: They did.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 7: They're requesting that the police come into roll Hill, right,
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 7: So if they're doing the study, why don't they say
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 7: community requested increased presence of police. That then justify why
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 7: they're there.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, it does do that, It justifies it.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 7: I was the chair of Law and Public Safety. Dude,
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 7: I'm telling you the community councils are texting, emailing and
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 7: requesting the police. So now the police come. They do
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 7: a study like this that the police officers are doing
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 7: what the community wants. And then they say, hey, man,
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 7: this is racist. It's not the community is requesting that
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 7: they be there.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, but possible. But I see he's got a lot
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: pent up. Let's bring Christopher back for a little bit more.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 2: We have one more segment seven forty seven right now,
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: if they five KERCIT talk station get in touch with hey,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: fifty five KARSD Talk station by telling us that Christopher
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 2: Smithman doing the last segment in the Smith event before
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 2: we get the money. Monday's Brian James up the top
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: of the air and it is Christopher more on this, Uh,
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: this alleged bias and police pullover reports we received. I
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: know you mentioned the Sentinel president and Central Police Association
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: Stuart Isaac, who is the president. He said, I've been
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: told about the information. There's some questions to it being inaccurate.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: The numbers might be skewed, he acknowledged. Apparently, City manager
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 2: Long said, well, we got it, and we're going to
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: have to hire an external expert who can do their
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: own independent review because the city wasn't involved, nor was
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: the police department involved apparently even excluded Iris Rowley believe
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: it or not, in doing this report. So she says,
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: you know that doesn't we need to provide a thoroughfare
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: in full picture and ask all the naysayers and those
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: most critical of us. Isaac said, you know, those most
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: critical of us, just allow the process, like any investigation,
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: to come to fruition before we start taking a diving
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: leap off the cliff and accuse us of doing some
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: things that maybe we have not done at all. So
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: sounds to me like he's like, no way, don't take
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: it at face value. Let's have someone legitimately review this
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: because it was apparently a biased outside campaign. Zero NGO.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 2: I guess, go ahead, Chris.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 7: I'm glad to hear that the President is making a comment.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 7: We need real clarity here. And the point is the
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 7: only reason you and I are talking about it is
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 7: that the Cincinnati inquire get a hit piece on it.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, right, So we wouldn't be discussing it right
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 7: now if it wasn't in the public domain. Go to
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 7: the Inquirer and ask their editorial board stop writing about
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 7: things before you have all of the information. The problem
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 7: is they drop the grenade and then walk away. They
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 7: don't put all the disclaimers that you just put out
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 7: there about the study. There's going to be an investigation.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 7: We don't really know who's behind it. Do they do
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 7: a follow up report and tell us all of that information.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 7: It's just an unfair report. And the police department, in
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 7: law enforcement all across the country, they're under political power,
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 7: like political shooting at them saying not literally but sometimes
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 7: literally that I'm saying politically figuratively, and being a police
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 7: officer is the toughest job right now. They're being asked
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 7: to do so much, so many different ways that their
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 7: heads are spinning on a swivel out there. I'm just saying,
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 7: this was the wrong time for us to be pushing
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 7: back right now, I'm looking at fifty two neighborhoods right
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 7: and we've got it. We had a dead body on
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 7: Yarmouth Yarn morth Over in bond Hill last weekend. And
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 7: that's in a playground, kind of basketball area, kind of
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 7: tucked off of Reading Road. Dead body. We got a
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 7: dead body that I just talked about over on Villages
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 7: of Roe Hill McKiel smith by to Day's twenty five.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 7: Here's the most Here's the most troubling part about the report,
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 7: and then I'll close my mouth about it, is that
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 7: if we ask ourselves in Cincinnati, we'll say Cincinnati is
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 7: forty eight or forty nine percent African Americans. Okay, So
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 7: then if we ask ourselves, where's the crime happening? Where
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 7: is it? That's the big question? Is the crime happening
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 7: in Mouth Adams? Hey, Mount Adams, welcome to the party.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 7: Fifty of your cars were broken into. But you guys
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 7: voted for this administration. This is who you voted for.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 7: That's a nice little commercial for them, right it is
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 7: now heading into Mount Adams. Fifty of your cars were
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 7: hit all at the same time. My point to you
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 7: is that we have to understand that the crime levels
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 7: in Row Hill or crime levels that are happening in
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 7: Warsaw and Price Hill, those I'm giving those two examples
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 7: that we want our He's going to those hot spots,
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 7: so we expect them to be deterring crime. And it
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 7: might be that disproportionately in Cincinnati they are detaining or
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 7: arresting black Americans or white Americans in those two neighborhoods
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 7: as an example, if that's where the crime needs I'm
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 7: frustrated that it's almost like, hey man, you're doing something
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 7: that's really bad, when the reality of it is, like
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 7: I said, the neighborhoods are requesting the police to come there,
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 7: and they're really just following the crime. That's what we
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 7: want cops to do. Leave all this other stuff alone
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 7: so that at the end of the day you and
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 7: I are safe. I mean, that's that's the bottom line.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: Period period and officer presence an officer in arrests decrease crime.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: It's no the word gets out if you commit something,
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 2: don't commit a traffic violation, make sure your car's got
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 2: license plates on it, you know, all the normal things.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: You know what. I've joked about this before. You know,
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: I hear about you know, driving while black, and I
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 2: appreciate that might be a phenomenon from time to time,
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: and I know was much more pervasive back in the day.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 2: You know what, I get pulled over in the middle
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: of the night. Why because I'm going to work at
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 2: three o'clock in the morning. If you're out of the
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 2: street at three o'clock in the morning, they're going to
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 2: figure out a way to pull you over. And oh, look,
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: Thomas white guy got pulled over because he didn't have
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 2: a front license plate on. That was when you had
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 2: to display one. Was that trip really necessary? Well, you
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: know what, you let me go because it wasn't drunk.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: I think that's what he guy expected. You know, that's policing,
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: active policing. The word gets out, don't commit crimes and
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: don't be an idiot, and especially don't engage in gun
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 2: violence in any neighborhood period, or you will get arrested.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 2: It's about time arrest because that's the most important leg
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: of the criminal justice system.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 4: Did NARC Cincinnati and iHeartRadio Station guaranteed Human fifty five
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 4: krc D talk station.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: I Heard Radio.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 2: It's eight o five and fifty five KRCD Talk Station.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: Brian Thomas wishing everyone a very happy Monday. It being
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: eight oh five on a Monday, it's time to talk
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: about another Brian Brian James. Money Monday's Brian James. Thanks
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 2: to you all Words Finance for loading them out for
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: a little while and get a few segments with them
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: talking about money matters. Welcome back, Brian, and happy Monday
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: to you, sir. Right back at you.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 9: Too many Mondays, too many Brian's this morning.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: I think that's okay. We have some interesting developments to
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 2: talk about. You know the market. Hey, the market's all
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 2: fired up. Looks like got a deal. We're going to
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 2: sign it on Friday. I don't know what the deal says.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: I've scoured the Internet far and wide for every news site,
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 2: from conservative to ultraliberal Brian, and I can't find any
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 2: details of the agreement we're allegedly entering into the Iranians,
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: and everywhere it's posted talking about this deal, it says
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: neither side provided a specific list of agreed upon details.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 2: And I think what we do know is we will
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 2: have to negotiate over the next sixty days what it
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 2: will mean for the nuclear dust or nuclear fuel there,
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: whether or not Iran's going to negotiate a well, going
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 2: to be able to acquire a weapon at some point,
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: the opening of the Straight of Horror moves and the
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 2: release of the ports of the Iranians can get chips
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 2: in and out, whether or not we'll be paying money,
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: and what we're going to do with Israel and Lebanon,
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: because that seems to be part of the agreement, and
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: so far as the Iranians are reporting, but I'm not
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: sure the Israelis and Hesbala have any interest in what
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 2: the hell anybody does anyway, Market's happy about it, right.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, as Nancy Pelosi famously once said, we
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 5: got to sign it so that we can.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 9: See what's in it.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 2: That's it, so that yeah, exactly right.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 9: What could go wrong? Now? And we've been through this before.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 5: This is of course a new headlines by tweet, and
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 5: that's what the market's reacting to.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 9: This has not been signed. Let's start with that point.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 5: There is there is apparently some kind of tentative agreement,
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 5: but as you just said, nobody really knows what the
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 5: agreement is.
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 9: Those are unimportant details. We don't need to get to
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 9: that yet.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 5: The signing ceremony is supposed to be this Friday of
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 5: the nineteenth. There are some things out there that have
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 5: yet to be ironed out, and now a lot of
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 5: that to to for the for you and I and
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 5: the rest of the listening public. We're not going to
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 5: be privy to the bullets for probably quite a while yet.
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 5: There are some details supposedly that aren't out there yet,
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 5: and so that's going to be ironed out there this week.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 9: Hopefully this holds what we've been through this before.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 5: You know, President Trump does tend to like to move
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 5: the market and there's no consequences apparently when he does.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 5: And so that's the announcement that was made on Friday.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 5: And of course, as you might suspect, everything's through the roof.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 5: Oil futures are down five percent.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 8: We like that.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the markets are up one to two percent, depending
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 5: on the flavor you're looking at.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 9: So, you know, so far a.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 5: Positive reaction, which is fairly predictable, right, But the market
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 5: absolutely hates uncertainty. It can take conflict, it can handle chaos,
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 5: but it's when we don't know what's going to happen
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 5: and when it's going to happen, that's what the market
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 5: hates and that's why it drifts sometimes.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I have to make an observation, but
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 2: you know, the market, I guess Trump loves to manipulate
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: the market, and the market listens to what he says.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: I guess considering the collective of many, not all intellectual
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 2: at least so far as financial markets are concerned. Giants
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: people who are in the know. Are they that's stupid
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 2: that they would listen to something he says and just
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: act on it or not act on it, Or is
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 2: there something really behind the market's actual following those positive comments?
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 2: I guess you know, if somebody told me something I
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 2: didn't believe it, I certainly wouldn't listen to it. So
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 2: how is it that Donald Trump has any sway on
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: the markets? Or are the markets actually believing what he
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 2: has to say? Because I mean, this is four months
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 2: We've been at this, Brian James, and I've heard these
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: types of comments before. You know, it's going to be
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: settled this week, We'll have it done in a couple
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 2: of weeks. Right, we were sitting down at the table
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: with them, Neilroddians really wanted togotiate. Then we find out
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 2: the hardliners and around. I'm like, what the hell you
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: talking about? Bomb here? Bomb there. I can't make heads
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: or tails out of it. Brian, So that the markets,
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: all of them, all these folks at these big brokerage houses,
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: and it could equate that to a real positive influence
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 2: on a market that so many people trade in. That
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 2: just says something, doesn't it.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 5: Well, I think what it says is that everything is
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 5: treated speculatively anymore.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 9: Right, That's all we care about is what's the market
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 9: going to do? Right now?
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 5: Gone are the days of Peter Lynch by what you know,
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 5: remember that book he wrote that said with the big
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 5: story in that, well, my wife was buying yeah, pe ratios,
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 5: my wife was buying pantyhose in these plastic eggs, and
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 5: therefore I decided that was a good investment. Well, we
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 5: don't think that way anymore. We simply look for what
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 5: the initial what's the immediate reaction going to be. I
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 5: only really want to benefit from that immediate reaction because
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 5: I want to make a bazillion dollars. Look at SpaceX, right,
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 5: you're not going to talk about a little later this morning.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 5: But SpaceX, of course came out and it made Eland
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 5: Musk a trillionaire. It didn't make any of the initial
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 5: buyers a trillionaire because it only really went up ten
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 5: percent from about the time that you could officially buy
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 5: it as an individual online. But that's enough for that
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 5: many people to go throw money at it because that's
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 5: what we want.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 9: We want that instant hit ten.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 2: Percent year over year over that's better than you normally
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 2: get in a long term you know, financial planning kind
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 2: of eight percent on average historical record. So I'd say
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: a ten percent hits pretty damn good. And if you
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 2: had enough money to throw at it and you got
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 2: ten percent return, I can imagine you could at least
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 2: emulate millions of dollars. Who among us has that kind
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: of jack to throw it at stock though, And.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 5: The point I would make to that is that if
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 5: that's how you run your money, then you probably don't
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 5: have that much money.
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 9: If you're trying to swing to the fences with every
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 9: last move.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 5: You know, I look at you even the right now,
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 5: the place to have been all year long, you could
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 5: have gotten to your point. You could have gotten double
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 5: that plus more since the beginning of the year just
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 5: investing in emerging markets indexes. Right, I'm not poop pooing
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 5: SpaceX that's in and I'm dragging us into that segment
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 5: before we're there. But my only point is that the
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 5: reason the market reacts so quickly to this is because
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 5: that's what we're after. Everything is speculative. What's it going
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 5: to do before breakfast? What's it going to do right
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 5: around lunch? What's it going to do by the end
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 5: of the day. Not are these goods and products and
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 5: services that they sell? Is this something that can be
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 5: productive over the long haul? That's what the market looks
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 5: for now. So everything speculations.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 2: So am I to understand after all this and my
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 2: sort of comedic reference of price earnings ratios, which apparently
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 2: nobody looks at anymore. It used to be a guiding
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: principle investing in stuck.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 9: We now evaluation shmelle you right, I know.
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 2: So we now essentially lived in an immediate gratification meme
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: stock thing where you take a quick hit and then
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: dump real quick and move on with our lives.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I really think over the long haul,
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 5: there's these are real companies behind this. But Elon Musk
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 5: is obviously not stupid. He knows how the market's going
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 5: to react. He knew very well that he could push
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 5: it to do what it did and push him over
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 5: that trillionaire mark.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 9: So now he gets to have that notch in his
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 9: in his in his belt.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 5: But but yeah, I mean, this is we we are
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 5: a we don't deal well with delayed gratification anymore.
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 9: We want our bazilions and we want them right now.
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 5: And again that's why the I p o went went
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 5: off the way it did, because we just have this
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 5: endless drive to make a bazillion dollars tomorrow. So now
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 5: I didn't hear a whole lot of buzz, you know, truthfully,
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 5: I mean my phone was not ringing off the hook
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 5: with people finding out that they really it's not that
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 5: easy to get into these I pos and you're going
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 5: to have to jump through some hoops and you might
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 5: not get exactly what you what you wanted to and
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 5: that kind of thing. So it doesn't it seems a
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 5: little different this time around. Then it was when the
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 5: first Internet boom about twenty five thirty years ago, when
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 5: I started in this industry, that was everybody learned what
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 5: an IPO was and how it worked, and that it's
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 5: not something that you just walk to your corner store
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 5: and get a hold of this one was a little
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 5: bit more available than those in the past, but well,
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 5: I didn't hear the same buzz about it from clients.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: As you mentioned. We can bring that down a little
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 2: bit more. The next segment, I guess the bright spot.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: And this has been happening in advance of the announcement
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 2: over the weekend that they had reached this tentative, you know,
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 2: memorandum of agreement. Let's assume all that goes forward and
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 2: they will sit down at the table for the next
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 2: couple of months and try to hammer everything out. Great,
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 2: but the price of oils you pointed out, the outsets
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 2: drop five percent, traded about what eighty two bucks a
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 2: barrel for Brent. And that's good, But we have already
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 2: been enjoying a lowering of gas prices, I mean, the drip,
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: the dropping gas has preceded this announcement by some weeks.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 2: Not dramatic drops, but at least we've got the advantage
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 2: of a cheaper gasoline. Is there something behind that independent
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: of whatever problem risk we're making with Iranians?
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 5: Again, pure speculation, the market felt like, and give you're right,
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 5: the market has been pricing this in for a while,
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 5: and it kind of makes logical sense. Right, We're not
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 5: going to stay in this war forever. There is a
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 5: midterm election, so there's just no reason that any administration
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 5: is going to continue dragging a country through an unpopular
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 5: war within a while facing an election. So at some
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 5: point the market knows that this was going to unwind,
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 5: and so it began to speculate. Now we've had some
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 5: bounces and oil prices over the past several months since
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 5: the war began. That's the market giving us headfakes. It
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 5: always wants to try to anticipate what's coming next. It's
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 5: not always right. Eventually it will be now, just because
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 5: we're talking about this here on Monday the fifteenth, four
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 5: days before this thing supposedly gets signed. Who knows, Brian,
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 5: we can see that same bounce again if something goes
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 5: sideways and we decide we're going to back away from
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 5: the table.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 9: This is not done yet, but right now we're in
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 9: a good mood of that.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 2: And if I was a betting man, Brian James, I'm
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 2: sorry to be a little jaded and cynical about this
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 2: actually hammer it working out, but I feel like we've
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 2: been down this road many many times of the last
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 2: four month. I'm praying that it does. That's not me
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 2: thinking I want a war to continue, but we just
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 2: seem to have been miles and miles and miles apart
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 2: up until now, and I just don't see it going now.
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 2: That being said, real quick before we take the break,
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 2: if it does get resolved, considering you said, this has
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 2: been baked into the cake, people expect it to end
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 2: at some point. We shouldn't see a dramatic drop post resolution, then,
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 2: should we. If they've already factored a resolution and an
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 2: opening of a straight of horror moves into the K
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 2: into the equation with I mean, that won't be a
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 2: result in another dramatic drop. If we got pent on paper,
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say dramatic, but I could see a slight
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 2: pullback off of the news because remember, remember how this
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 2: stuff works.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 9: We buy on the rumor and sell on the news.
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 5: That doesn't affect a long term financial plan because you
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 5: should be behaving that way anyway. But like I said,
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 5: everything is about speculation, so it wouldn't surprise me at
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 5: all to see things pull back just a bit, not
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 5: enough to get your attention, just an exhale, which will
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 5: be the short term trades from those super short term
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 5: speculators unwinding their positions. That would shock me in the least,
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 5: but it doesn't change what somebody should be doing with
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 5: their long term plans.
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: Fair enough, we'll dive into the SpaceX IPO one. Maybe
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 2: Brian can better explain a little from mypos and why
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 2: they're happy to be challenging to get involved in. But
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm really a kind of curious what SpaceX does
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 2: and going back to a price earnings ratio, they sell
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 2: profitable product. Is this going to be a long term
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 2: good investment?
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 8: Who knows?
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 2: Brian James can maybe shed some light on that. Plus
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 2: also coming ahead, one hundred percent tariffs on French wine. Hmm,
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 2: where'd that come from? Eight sixteen? Right now, don't go
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 2: away and be.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 4: Right back fifty five krc our iheartrated.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 2: Talk station, Hey nineteen fIF about pair CD talk station.
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 2: Brian Thumas with Brian James from all Worth Financial joins
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 2: us to talk about money matters and investing long term
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 2: is really the ultimate goal here and doing the right
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 2: thing with your money is so very important. If you
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 2: stick to a strategy and you continue to sock some
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 2: away you are going to get a return on your
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 2: investment in the markets and pivoting over back to SpaceX.
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 2: I guess I seem to be a bit of it,
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 2: a traditionalist. I know there's meme stocks and markets and
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 2: things like that that we were just talking about it.
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 2: But if I was interested in participating in an independent
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 2: public offering, which you can mention down the road here,
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 2: I would look and see what does SpaceX do? What
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 2: are the products, where's the demand coming from? Is this
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 2: something that's going to generate profit and income long term?
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 2: And apparently if Elon Musk is behind it, probably is.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 2: He's got a pretty damn good track record for making money,
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 2: So evil trillionaire, is this a good company if you'd
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 2: looked at it from a traditional standpoint? Brian James and
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 2: I seem to have lost Joe Strecker as well. It's
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 2: a part of the room. While I was supposed to
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 2: be talking with Brian James. I apologize, folks, So I'll
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 2: see when Joe comes back we might be able to
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 2: get him back on the horn, because it's very interesting
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 2: knowing about that. So anyhow, apologies. Now I've got to
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 2: regroup here and figure out what the hell I'm going
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 2: to talk? Oh, I can talk about this. Yeah, something
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 2: I wanted to bring up with Brian James. I saw
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 2: this article authored by Peter Daisy Me no idea, but
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 2: it was an interesting thing. And this is where I
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 2: think long term investment strategy can really work for you,
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 2: as long as you just say no to maybe the frivolous,
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 2: and notably, Peter starts out with, you know, I know
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 2: a person that drives a twenty eighteen camera that happens
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 2: to be the wealthiest person I know. You know it's
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 2: three properties, has two million dollars in investment accounts, and
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 2: could buy any car on any lot without even blinking.
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 2: He chooses not to, and his explanation is both simple
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 2: and profound. Quote. A car is a tool that takes
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 2: you from one place to another. Everything beyond that is
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 2: a payment for other people's perception of you now being
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 2: a car guy. I may take some issue with that,
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 2: but that's because I happen to be a car guy.
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 2: One little category in my life that I'm willing to
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 2: spend more on because of what I get out of it.
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 2: Driving performance and cornering and handling an acceleration are all
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 2: really important things to me because I really don't have
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 2: any other hobbyes. So we'll call that my little extravagance
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 2: in my life. But for the most part, you're gonna
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 2: find me buying, you know, designer label clothes. And I've
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 2: used this illustration so many times. Some one was sick
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 2: that I do it like women who's paying maybe even
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 2: men who buy ten thousand dollars five thousand dollars purses.
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 2: It has no more functionality than a plastic bag from Kroger.
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 2: And I know you don't.
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 9: What can hear me?
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 2: Now I can? Brian James, sorry about that.
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 9: You didn't. I didn't go anywhere.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 5: All of a sudden I was talking and just just
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 5: unleashing some fascinating nuggets about spacextion.
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 9: Suddenly you weren't there dead air.
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 2: I did, sure whatever, none my listening audience didn't hear
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 2: a word you said, Brian. I apologize for that. I
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 2: don't know where Joe is, but we got you back
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 2: on there. I mean, you can just real quick here.
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 2: I was talking about people's priorities and where they spend money,
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 2: because this is like a financial planner's dream. This article
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 2: I read and I wanted to bring it up to you.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: Since I already started about it, we can clump everything
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 2: else in the next segment. But you know why spend
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 2: heap loads of money on things that don't do anything
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 2: but impress other people? Bringing up you, a person leasing
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 2: a seventy thousand SUV might have a negative net worth,
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 2: you know. Meanwhile, there's a person with one point five
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 2: million in the bank, wearing jeans he bought from Target,
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 2: driving a paid off Honda, and eating dinner at home
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 2: these day to day choices. Expensive coffee came up, and
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 2: I've used that illustration a million times. I've done the
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 2: math my two pound bag at Costco. I've calculated out.
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 2: I know how many pots of coffee I can make,
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 2: I know how many cups make in each pot, and
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 2: I know that I multiply that times the five bucks
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 2: i'd pay at Starbucks if I went there. I'm getting
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 2: a hell of a deal with the twenty bucks I
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 2: spend for two pounds of coffee, and I don't feel
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 2: that I'm suffering at all. There's so many areas of
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 2: our lives where we will overspend, almost with the idea
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 2: we're just doing it to impress someone else, and that apparently,
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 2: is a major major pitfall and hurdle for people to
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 2: be on the right financial path for retirement. Brian, I
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 2: hate to put you on the spot on that, but
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 2: I did want to bring it up.
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 9: Oh no, that's not the spot at all. That's my job, right,
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 9: You just described my day to day. So yeah, I
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 9: would say there's a lot of people out there who
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 9: you know.
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 5: Just as much as there are people who can't lift
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 5: the hood of a car and name a single component,
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 5: there are people who cannot do that with money. Those
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 5: people have extraordinary strong skills in other areas, but they
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 5: simply don't put two and two together when it comes.
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 5: I'll give you an example. So sometimes people will come in,
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 5: we'll do a financial plan and they'll say, we'll go through,
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 5: what are all your expenses? And they'll say, well, here,
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 5: the mortgage is this, or the rent is that, but
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 5: that's covered by this income over there, so I don't
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 5: count that as an expense. And my answer to that,
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 5: and this might be like a three four thousand dollars payment,
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 5: sometimes my answer to that is, why are we not
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 5: counting it?
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 9: It's an expense.
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 5: I know it's covered by some kind of income, but
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 5: we're talking about all of your spending. People have a
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 5: way of compartmentalizing. This expense doesn't count because it's nothing
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 5: I can do about it. I can't adjust it anyway,
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 5: and it's covered by this ex payment that I get,
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 5: So therefore we're going to ignore that. And so yeah,
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 5: you kind of have to tear the band aid off
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 5: and pull it back. And I would also say this
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 5: goes back a little bit too. You know what we
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 5: like to refer to as the American dream. Everybody you
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 5: know the American dream, of course is having a house
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 5: and a stable life and all that kind of stuff.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 5: Well what if your neighbor moves in and all of
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 5: a sudden they have a nicer house, right then? Am
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 5: I of being the same American dreamers? It a different
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 5: American dream. It's just a human reaction. And we live
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 5: in a country where it is possible, it's easier to
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 5: better your standing in this country than anywhere else. And
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 5: that that sounds great, but it does have its negatives,
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 5: which is keeping up with the Joneses.
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 9: That's what you're really referring to.
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 2: But see, they really don't like we let someone else's
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 2: perception defind what our dream should be you know, the
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 2: the greatest dream I ever had in my life was
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 2: just to be content and comfortable and not have to
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 2: worry about my retirement, you know, and running around and
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 2: chasing after things that are you know, out of your reach.
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 2: Or we always bought houses that were affordable, maybe a
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 2: little bit smaller, maybe not as nice a neighborhood, but
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 2: it was fine enough for my wife and me. This
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 2: seemed like logical choices to me, you know, think, I
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 2: don't live my life for someone else, and I guess
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 2: I struggle with the concept that that's what a lot
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 2: of us do. And I know this is a criticism
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 2: of capitalism sort of kind of, but capitalism is designed
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 2: to build the best products for the best price. There's
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 2: competition out in the world. That way, you can acquire
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 2: what you actually might need, what might fulfill your version
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 2: of the dream. But if you're buying it just because
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 2: somebody else is going to be envious of you, at
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 2: least believe that, then you're making a bad decision. You're
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 2: living their life for them and probably suffering from it mightily.
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 5: Now, yeah, I read a book about this long time
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 5: ago that actually this goes back to the when human
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 5: beings learned how to farm stuff, because before that we
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 5: were hunter gatherers, and if you ran across a nasty bunch,
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 5: you just wandered somewhere else. But once we've learned how
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 5: to farm stuff, we had to have land. You can't
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 5: move off that land, and if somebody else comes in
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 5: and wants a chunk of that land, well now you
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 5: have to fight them for it. I think that was
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 5: the very very beginning of making sure I have carved
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 5: out my place and making sure I'm keeping up with,
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 5: you know, the joneses of whatever band is about to
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 5: wander on to my farmland.
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 9: Because that also gave us the ability to have free time.
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 5: Right when you're doing nothing but wandering around the woods
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 5: looking for food, you don't have a lot of free time.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 5: But when you build a system to provide food in
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 5: an ongoing manner, then all of a sudden, you have
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 5: free time. And that's where we get art and all
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 5: these other things. But over thousands of years, I think
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 5: that has morphed into the idea that I have to
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 5: have something better than somebody else or I can't be comfortable.
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 5: That's not everybody, that's not you, that's not a lot
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 5: of the people listening out here. But oh my gosh,
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 5: does capitalism want to take advantage of.
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: Five KRC the talk station?
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 2: Hey thirty one if you have kercd talk station Brian
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 2: James Monday Monday doing that name and real quick, since
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 2: we had that communication breakdown, I was asking, you know,
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 2: what does SpaceX do like? If I was looking at
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 2: it from an old school practical do I really want
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 2: to invest in it as opposed to a mean perception?
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 2: The products? Are they generally in demand kind of thing?
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 2: Is it going to be a very profitable company? Because
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 2: usually what Elon Musk touches it turns to gold.
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 5: Brian, my old school profitability, I don't even know what
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 5: those words mean anymore.
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 2: Brian Tomma.
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 5: Yes, SpaceX is a real company, of course, And what
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 5: I mean by that, I'm juxtaposing it with the AMC
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 5: theater and game Stop and all those kinds of things
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 5: also real companies doing real things.
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 9: But this is a little bit different.
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 5: The herd is still chasing SpaceX as much as it
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 5: chased those memes stocks, for sure, and that's going to
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 5: run for a while.
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 9: But let's look at some details behind it.
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 5: So before the IPO, remember IPO stands for initial public
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 5: offering before it's publicly offered.
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 9: It is, of course private, which means you don't get
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 9: to know a ton about it.
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 5: But the Espenates where revenues were about thirty five to
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 5: forty billion dollars annually, IBIDA about fifteen to eighteen billion,
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 5: net income eight to twelve, These are all good things starlink, right,
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 5: those things that you see running across the sky in
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 5: a line that look really cool and people think they're
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 5: alien invasion because they haven't seen one yet. That is
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 5: believed to account for more than half their total profits.
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 5: Launch services, that's what they're most famous for. That's what
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 5: we think of. Launch services are high growth, but Starlink
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 5: has become the primary profit engine there. So that makes
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 5: SpaceX kind of unusual because it came public as the
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 5: company was already generating significant cash flow. Cash Flow does
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 5: not equal profitability, of course, So where we are right now,
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 5: so at a two point one trillion dollar valuation, investors
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 5: are paying roughly fifty to sixty times earnings or twelve
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 5: to fifteen times revenue. Those are extremely aggressive multiples, you know,
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 5: even for a mature company. So that's what we're getting.
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 2: At well, fair enough, Brian, we'll see how it goes.
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 2: And you know, why is it so hard to get
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 2: your foot in the door on an ipo? Generally speaking? Anyway,
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 2: the commonclave are never invited or rarely invited.
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 9: Supply and demand.
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's literally just what is the availability and
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 5: the fact that people could get to this one at all?
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 5: There I saw the online quotes from people talking about
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 5: how they went through Save Fidelity and they asked for
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 5: you know, whatever they asked for, you know, one hundred
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 5: percent of their shares they maybe got eight percent. It
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 5: was a small fraction of what they truly wanted to buy.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 5: And it's just got to do with everybody once in
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 5: therefore that drives the price up, which you know, that's
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 5: why we're talking about it today. That's why it's such
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 5: a big headline. But because so many people want it,
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 5: not everybody can get it. And this is we've seen this,
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 5: of course with a lot of these other big IPOs.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 5: That's not a new part of all of this that
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 5: has always had but it's tough to get in on
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 5: these things. Who was really in it, of course, it's
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 5: the institutional companies and frankly the biggest of the big
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 5: we're in it before, right, So it went public at
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 5: you know the price, it went public at one hundred
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 5: and thirty five, but it was first available right, so
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 5: as soon as it was available to trade, it was
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty. So if you were not on
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 5: the ends at the one thirty five, then the soonest
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 5: you could have got it was one hundred and fifty.
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 2: Fair enough. And I suppose if you are in one
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 2: of those big mutual funds and traded multi stock traded
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 2: funds like you're investors using, you probably got a chunk
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 2: of it in your portfolio somewhere, at least I speculate that. Anyhow,
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 2: Brian James, real quick, maybe going back to the point
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 2: I made earlier about what do you really need it?
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 2: Is it worth the extra money? And I got one
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 2: of my good friends is one of the top tier
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 2: saumiers in the world, and I'm sure there's a lot
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 2: of French wines he likes. But you know what, I
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 2: know a lot of really good California wines that I
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 2: don't have to worry about. If we tax we tear
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 2: a French wines at one hundred percent, what's the motivation
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 2: behind that? And I guess is, are we really going
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 2: to be hurt by this at all?
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 5: Well, this is less about wine and more about digital businesses.
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 5: So this is about who gets to tax the profits
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 5: of digital businesses. So the headline part is wine because
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 5: that does hit people, you know where they might live,
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 5: and they'll pay attention to that. Yeah, So the threat
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 5: is one hundred percent tariffs on French wine champagne unless
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 5: France repeals. It's digital services tax that is hitting big
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 5: companies like Google, Amazon, Apple, Meta and so forth. So
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 5: you know, the traditionally tax systems were built around factories, stores,
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 5: physical presence, that kind of thing. Tech companies can generate
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 5: billions in revenue without setting foot in a country. We
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 5: can stuck a lot of money out and not have
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 5: to pay any taxes. So European governments argue that that
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 5: tax code has not kept up with a digital.
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 9: Economy and how it all works.
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 5: The US says, yeah, but no big deal, because it's
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 5: kind of cool we can make all this money. So
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 5: there are They're arguing that taxes disproportionately target American firms
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 5: and amount to a disguised tariff, which, eh, I can
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 5: kind of see what they're saying. Because of course these
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 5: companies do happen to have been started in the United States.
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 5: But I can also see if I'm a country who
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 5: is seeing a lot of revenue and dollars exiting my borders,
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 5: I might want.
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 2: To react to that.
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 9: So therefore I guess they've put some new taxes in place.
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Brian, why do you think they started here as
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 2: opposed to France in the first place. I think we
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 2: have a better economic environment for businesses generally speaking, anyway,
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 2: maybe that's the reason.
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 9: We absolutely do.
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 5: And you know, again, like we were talking about earlier,
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 5: there's pros and constant capitalism, but that's one of the
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 5: big pros. This is the place where you can get
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 5: an awful lot of favors and tax deductions, you get
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 5: you get rules around how debt works, all that kind
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 5: of stuff is different whenever you hear you know that
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 5: of why you know why companies want to come to
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 5: the United States, why people want of the comme to
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 5: the United States. You've got the most leverage, the most
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 5: ability to take advantage of a system that is built
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 5: around build something and make it bigger.
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 2: Well, and you also have an administration that's willing to
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 2: step up to the plate Levey taxes on foreign companies
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 2: or foreign countries that might levy taxes on your American
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 2: based business. That helps. That's worth a lot of money
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 2: in and of itself. Brian James, thank you so much.
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 2: If you just put your well faith in God. Rick
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 2: Green from Spiritu Works Ministry, Rick Man twenty Is it
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 2: the twenty eighth year since the Lord just sort of
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 2: slapped you in the face and woke you up?
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, today is twenty eight years now. I'm so grateful
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 1: because I prayed to God. I meant that prayer. I
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 1: know I'm in in it, and I never looked back.
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 2: All right. For those who haven't heard the story, and
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 2: for those who are very interested in hearing again, because
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 2: I never get tired of hearing this story, because it
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 2: really is an amazing thing that happened in your world.
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 2: You didn't have a real good childhood. No, you were
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 2: surrounded by drugs and alcohol, Yes, bad elements you hung out.
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 1: With, yes, Lona cuss and a lot of fighting.
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 2: And as a child growing up in that environment, I
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 2: can imagine, like with you, it was easy to rub
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 2: off on you.
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't think it was, And boy was I wrong.
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 2: You were wrong. Okay, criminal activity, drug abewscl all all
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 2: that stuff. I know you were in prison at one point.
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 1: Well, you know it wasn't really I'm gonna say chriminal.
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 1: It's just when I became an alcoholic and had it,
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize you can't be an alcoholic and addict
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 1: and be a current on town support. So I went
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 1: to printer for child support. Oh, I was the first
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 1: time still planning and row along. If you're more than
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 1: five thousand dollars behind the townsport was a founding. I'm
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: not blaming Bill because it was me. I did that
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 1: to myself. Sure when I went over a five thousand
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 1: dollars in back town support, it became a founding.
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, there is an argument to be made
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 2: there that you're the one that brought them into this world.
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 2: You have an obligation to help deal with the cost
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 2: of raising children. We all know how expensive that can be,
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 2: at least those who have had children or looked into
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 2: the cost of raising children. But that's what happens. And
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 2: you were you were obligated to go out and look
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 2: for job and present the court with information about the
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 2: jobs you applied for and all that kind of thing. Yeah,
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 2: we used to do that, and guys who didn't ended
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 2: up going to the lock up for twelve days. Was
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 2: kind of slapping the face. Look, if you don't pay
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 2: the child support again, you gotta come back in.
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the mine was too polluted and too poisoned,
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 1: too gone. Doing anything right. Wasn't even in the thought process,
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 1: all right, just trying to get.
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 2: High, getting high. Yeah, he paid the price.
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 1: Reading I walk up in the morning at that period
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 1: in my life, So.
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 2: Twenty eight years ago today you woke up and your
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 2: life was immediately transformed and you never turned around. Explaining
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 2: to again listeners who haven't heard the story and the others, please,
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 2: it's just such beautiful, beautiful thing.
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 1: That morning, I was in the bathroom. I was looking
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 1: in the mirror, and I was about to go to court,
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 1: and I was talking to God in the mirror. Only
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 1: got me in the bathroom, and for whatever reason, a
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 1: thought came in my head. I didn't want to die
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 1: a narcoholic and an addict. I didn't want my kids
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 1: to hear about that. I didn't want my wife to
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 1: hear about that. At the time, Now my ex wife
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 1: and I thought about it. There are two days pretty much.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 1: I believe we can't control that's alcoholism and drug addiction.
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 1: They're not too many deaths we have authority over well, correct,
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 1: I think those are self induced? Yeah, I honestly do.
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 1: I could be wrong. I just think they can happen
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 1: without our participation.
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 2: Now that's not to say that some people don't have
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 2: a genetic predisposition to getting addicted to alcohol. I know
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 2: certain genetic types, you know, they're prone to being alcoholics,
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 2: And maybe the same thing stands the reason for drugs.
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 2: But maybe if you realize you've got an issue. First off,
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 2: I know alcohol is difficult thing to get away from.
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 2: It's societally acceptable, and I'm happy to see the trends
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 2: with young people going down. But listen, nobody forcing anybody
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 2: to go out and use illegal drugs, so that might happen.
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 2: But you're right, I firmly believe that we have a
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 2: choice on whether to say yes or no at the outset.
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 2: And then if you realize you have a problem and
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 2: can't get a hold of it, then you really need
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 2: to seek treatment or maybe experience God's miracle like you did.
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 2: At least you were staring at yourself asking the question
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 2: or pointing out that you were introspective. So I'm going
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 2: to die and I don't want to die for a
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 2: whole variety of reasons.
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 2: Can you give God credit for that conversation?
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I know all things good of the Lord,
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 1: and that was a good conversation. It was a positive conversation.
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 1: It was a conversation that just pushed me into where
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 1: I needed to go. It was time to leave the
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 1: old rick right there in the bathroom. He's still there
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 1: after twenty eight years. He didn't need to come out
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 1: the bathroom. But a new man came out. That was
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 1: the third day. I poured all my coke down the toilet,
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 1: I pulled my beer down the tallet. I broke my cigarettes.
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 1: I had gone to cleanse my tongue, and I'm accustomed.
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 1: June fifteenth, nineteen ninety eight. Nobody can tell me God
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 1: isn't real because I don't have authority over the time.
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 1: I just don't.
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 2: Well, you're looking at a guy across the board here.
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 2: He might have an argument with you about that. But
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 2: I will be willing to give the Lord at least
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 2: control over the on and off switch when it comes
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 2: to cursewords. Pause for him. But We're going to bring
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 2: Rick back, talk about what this miracle has meant to
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 2: him and how he's taken this miracle and really use
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 2: it to his personal advantage, but also to the advantage
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 2: of so many other people, not just by spreading the
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 2: word about it and it can be you, but how
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 2: he helps out other people in our community. Don't go
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 2: away my way to Montgomery Road on that Exelcon fifty
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 2: five krc DE talk station. Ifif you have carec he
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 2: talk stage and Ryan Thomas an experience enjoying rather the
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 2: miracle that is Rick Green's life and how he transformed
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 2: it and turned it around drugs, alcohol and had an
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 2: introspective moment in time looking in the mirror and just
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 2: saying I have had enough through his cocaine down the drain,
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 2: threw away his cigarettes, poured out his alcohol, and since
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 2: that point in time, including shutting off the curse words,
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 2: that's an amazing feat from my perspective there, Rick Green,
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 2: never since twenty eight years today. So I want to
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 2: congratulate you. And and I heard you say, you know
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 2: all the good, with all the things good with the Lord.
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 2: You knew that in that moment you experienced the epiphany
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 2: and I have to ask the question. You already painted
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 2: the picture. You didn't grow up in a real solid
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 2: environment in your childhood. Did you have anyone guiding you
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 2: or taking you to church or teaching you whether you're
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 2: Christian or Muslim. I don't even know what your religion is,
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 2: but you obviously have a connection with God, Rick, So
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 2: did anybody bring you up with the concept of God
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 2: and that there was some sort of measure of salvation
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 2: or hope in belief in a higher power, because clearly
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 2: you got the benefit of it.
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, my dad. The greatest gift he ever gave me.
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 1: He took me to church every Sunday in May. Sure,
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 1: I learned about a man named Jesus, and that's house
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 1: you had to go to church. Of course I didn't
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 1: pay attention younger. I didn't realize I was listening. I'm
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 1: playing with race cars.
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well, it's like every We'll let you our
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 2: kids all day long, and they're twelve years old, they're
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 2: looking at your glassy light. Is any of this getting through?
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 2: And then you later find out, well, you know what, Yeah,
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 2: they were listening.
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 1: And I always knew God loved me, even in that environment.
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 1: Always knew the God and man connection. Whenever I was
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 1: about to do something that I wasn't supposed to do,
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 1: always had a warmth welling up and tigning me, warning me.
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 1: Wherever I went against that warmth, I wind up in
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 1: the justice center. I wind up whenever I went against that,
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 1: And now I don't go against it no more. Well,
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 1: if like a warning it, well you.
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 2: Minister, I mean you're out in the on the streets
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 2: handing out meals every do you still do that on
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 2: the weekend and helping out folks on life's margins? And
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 2: when if some were to ask you, because we all
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 2: have all these non government organizations and other groups running
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 2: around talking about we would to prevent, you know, like
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 2: youth crime and gun violence. And it just seems to
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 2: me to be boiled down to and summed up in
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 2: probably one of the most easy solutions, which is a
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 2: good a good family life, and good morals being taught
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 2: and that you know, there should be that internal reaction
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 2: like you had even when you were doing and engaging
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 2: in this behavior, that you knew it was wrong when
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 2: you were doing it. Does that come naturally or is
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 2: it a taught thing that you know something's wrong? When
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 2: you're doing it.
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 1: That's something God places in us. We know right, no
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 1: wrong at birth. We might be to articulate it, but
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 1: we know it. You know, when I'm out there feeding
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 1: the homeless, I used to do it every weekend, but
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 1: I retire last November. Not I can only do it
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 1: once a month. People always say Rick wants you to
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 1: a fine, won't once. See, I don't really need a
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 1: government involved with something I'm gonna do anyway, I'm still
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 1: gonna do it. I don't see the point. I'm still
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 1: gonna do it. Yeah, yeah, and stop me.
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That that's the spirit flowing through you right there,
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 2: my friend.
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 1: I don't think nobody should go to bed hungry on Earth.
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 1: I just don't. There's enough money on Earth. I don't
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 1: think nobody sleep on the sidewalk on Earth. There's enough
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 1: money on Earth.
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 2: But if people applied themselves and didn't take the easy
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 2: root out and say it's not my fault, I cannot
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 2: rise above because the systems designed against me, or the
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 2: man's got a sumb of oppression on me, or however
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 2: you want to phrase it. We've made it so easy
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 2: in this world to offload personal responsibility and put the
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 2: blame for any given failure we experience on someone else.
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 2: Looking at your life, you failed time after time after time.
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 2: You woke up on your own. Nobody wrote you a check.
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 2: No governmental agency came in and grabbed Rick Green by
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 2: the throat and pulled him out and said, Rick, you're
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 2: going to turn your life around. You did it on
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 2: your own initiative. I think that's the most beautiful part
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 2: of the story.
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 1: It's just one thing. I totally agree when people say
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of lazy. My uncle's want lady,
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 1: my grandpa won lady, my dad won lay lazy. It's
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 1: just a horrible way to be. We always been in
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 1: blue collar, working proud people. I'm talking about maybe mentally
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 1: challenged or physically challenged. That is different and infants. I
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 1: think we all should look out for them. Now, if
• 2:11:16
  Speaker 1: you're just lazy, I'm probably gonna keep walking. That's a
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 1: you thing. That's not me thing. I can't afford to
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 1: be lazy. I gotta said, Charlotta homewait not mean she's
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 1: gonna eat. I need to eat.
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, One of the things I always say is,
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 2: I think if there's one obligation we had to our
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 2: fellow brothers and sisters on this planet is at least
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 2: earn and take care of enough that you can cover yourself.
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 2: If you bring more people into the world, like you
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 2: learn during paying child support, you better damn will take
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 2: care of them until they are capable of taking care
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 2: of themselves. And then they'll take that responsibility out into
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 2: the world and take care of themselves. And if we
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 2: all did that, if we are capable of doing it,
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 2: the world will be a much better place. And those
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 2: people truly on life's margins, my friend, those are the
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 2: ones that would get the attention they truly truly need.
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is absolutely I wish we could all just
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 1: wake up and see, that's enough of us to wear.
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 1: The elderly and the young and the mentally and physically
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 1: challenged shouldn't have to be without. There's enough for us
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 1: that don't Okay, yeah, there's a lot of doing better now.
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, well until you turn it into.
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 1: And a lazy man or woman. I don't know what
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 1: to say that now, I really don't, because that's the
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 1: personal choice.
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 2: They need to be introspective and have a look in
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 2: the mirror like you did twenty eight years ago. Maybe
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 2: the hand of God will touch them too. It's about
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 2: time for me to take care of myself. Dependence is
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 2: a dangerous, dangerous thing. Spirit Works Ministries Final online, spirit
