0:43

Speaker 1: called it a three point five. I think we exceeded that,
0:48
Speaker 1: didn't we We hit the over and that's not a
0:53
Speaker 1: good thing. Yeah, real problem. And guess what the temperature

1:01
Speaker 1: James coming up at eight oh five. We'll talking about oil, beef, vegetables,
1:05
Speaker 1: where do you think they are going? Price wise? Right up,
1:08
Speaker 1: Wall Street's newest artificial intelligence obsession and then finally, prediction
1:12
Speaker 1: markets are here and their popularity is growing. They also
1:15
Speaker 1: have prediction markets on the race between Congressman Thomas Massy
1:17
Speaker 1: now Goal Ray, with edges slightly ahead of the prediction markets,
1:22
Speaker 1: last minute polling and a lot of last minute money
1:24
Speaker 1: flowing into that most expensive campaign for a seat in
1:29
Speaker 1: the House Representatives ever in the history of the Countrypart
1:31
Speaker 1: only thirty two million dollars. Anybody else canna be glad
1:35
Speaker 1: when it's over? Why and why is Trump so angry
1:42
Speaker 1: over Congress from Massy? You know, it all boils down
1:44
Speaker 1: to and he has got some vile language for Congress
1:48
Speaker 1: from Massy. And I guess I'm kind of curious the
1:50
Speaker 1: voters who support Congress from MASSI in northern Kentucky. Does
1:52
Speaker 1: it sort of bother you that he's in essence calling
1:56
Speaker 1: you losers? I I didn't vot from Ascy because I can't.
2:04
Speaker 1: And you know me, I take Donald Trump as I
2:06
Speaker 1: get him. I am not always pleased, but I'm not
2:11
Speaker 1: I'm not an always yes Trump. I mean, there are
2:12
Speaker 1: people out there who are just absolutely anything Donald Trump
2:16
Speaker 1: says or does or wants it is a okay, fine, period,
2:18
Speaker 1: end of story. You cannot defy the president. That's the
2:20
Speaker 1: kind of the president's attitude on these things. How dare
2:23
Speaker 1: you defy me? And you know, in spite of the
2:28
Speaker 1: fact that I'm happy with Trump's agenda generally speaking, we
2:31
Speaker 1: got some issues here and there. The damn sight better
2:35
Speaker 1: than President Kamala Harris. Can you imagine how bad this
2:37
Speaker 1: country would be? Hear her pronouncements over the other day.
2:39
Speaker 1: She was over the weekend talking about what the Democrats
2:41
Speaker 1: need to do pack the Supreme Court, for example. But
2:48
Speaker 1: I am not one hundred percent lockstep with Trump all
2:50
Speaker 1: the time, and I'm entitled to do that. Why didn't
2:52
Speaker 1: Trump want, for example, release the Epstein files when he
2:55
Speaker 1: campaigned on him? Why is Trump waging foreign wars? We're
2:57
Speaker 1: in Nigeria too? Did you know that? I just kind
3:00
Speaker 1: of wake up to that reality. We killed twenty Islamic
3:03
Speaker 1: State fighters in Nigeria the other day after killing their
3:06
Speaker 1: number two person Nigeria. Uh okay. But in any event,
3:12
Speaker 1: so Congress Samassy angered Trump by doing one of basically
3:17
Speaker 1: three things voting against the Big Beautiful Bill. Why why
3:22
Speaker 1: did he vote against that? Was he against what was
3:24
Speaker 1: in it? Provision by provision, you know, funding for the
3:27
Speaker 1: border wall or whatever else was in there, it passed.
3:30
Speaker 1: He did point that out the other day when talking
3:32
Speaker 1: to the Wall Street Dural Congress Messy. I didn't stand
3:34
Speaker 1: in the way of anything. All this stuff went through.
3:36
Speaker 1: Why did he epoes the one big beautiful bill added
3:39
Speaker 1: to the national debt. He has been a deficit hawk
3:43
Speaker 1: since day one, I used to I mean, I've joked
3:46
Speaker 1: about Congress Samassy time and time and time again since
3:49
Speaker 1: he's been in office. You read any piece of legislation,
3:52
Speaker 1: you know at the outset whether or not he's going
3:55
Speaker 1: to vote in favor of it or against The first question,
3:58
Speaker 1: is it going to increase the national debt? If it is,
4:00
Speaker 1: if they aren't paid for us, if there isn't an
4:03
Speaker 1: appropriate reduction in spending that goes along with the increase
4:06
Speaker 1: in spending, then he's gonna be against it. He's consistently
4:09
Speaker 1: doing that. He is the one that's screaming canary in
4:11
Speaker 1: the coal mine. Look, we're all gonna die that Defenit's
4:13
Speaker 1: gonna kill us, all right. So they're increasing national deck
4:18
Speaker 1: two because he pushed for the release of the Epstein files.
4:23
Speaker 1: I thought Trump campaigned on that, and don't you still
4:27
Speaker 1: want them is anybody out there clamoring to keep the
4:30
Speaker 1: Epstein files under wraps? Is does anybody feel that way?
4:35
Speaker 1: I certainly don't. And wow, what worn't the production of
4:39
Speaker 1: the Epstein files the most overwhelming show of bipartisan forced
4:43
Speaker 1: you and I've seen it a long long time. Apparently
4:47
Speaker 1: everybody wanted them. Dan, of course he opposed the decision
4:53
Speaker 1: to go to war with a red Why because the
4:55
Speaker 1: constitution you got your declaration of war. I don't believe.
4:58
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's an argument to be made
5:00
Speaker 1: that we were not under imminent threat. That argument can
5:03
Speaker 1: still be made. But you know what, I'm a practical man,
5:05
Speaker 1: I'm a realist. I'm not quite sure it'll be that
5:08
Speaker 1: great to just to pull the plug right now. We
5:11
Speaker 1: went in just like we have in every war since
5:13
Speaker 1: World War Two, no declaration of war. And then there's
5:16
Speaker 1: that pesky war powers authorization, which of course has been tried.
5:19
Speaker 1: Now in nineteen seventy three, you're supposed to have you
5:22
Speaker 1: know this, with the exception of aneminent threat. You got
5:24
Speaker 1: thirty days, sixty days, ninety days with an extension. Blah
5:26
Speaker 1: blah blah. Okay, is there a pause in the conflict
5:30
Speaker 1: that stopped the ticking of the clock with the war
5:32
Speaker 1: Powers resolution. Go ahead, argue amongst yourselves. I don't know
5:36
Speaker 1: that anybody's ever addressed that from a legal perspective anyway.
5:38
Speaker 1: Are we in the middle of a war or not?
5:41
Speaker 1: Is there does a ceasefire stop the war warpowers resolution
5:45
Speaker 1: clock from ticking? I don't know. Some are making the
5:49
Speaker 1: argument that it does. Others are saying no, We're still
5:52
Speaker 1: engaging in missile fire back and forth. Just a couple
5:56
Speaker 1: of bombs does not an undoing of the ceasefire make.
6:03
Speaker 1: So that's I here's a question for you. Are you
6:10
Speaker 1: going to vote for Massy even though he occasionally occasionally
6:15
Speaker 1: makes you mad by bucking the system and voting against
6:18
Speaker 1: what Donald Trump wants and demands. And while the money
6:22
Speaker 1: that's being thrown into this one past few days anti
6:26
Speaker 1: Massy political action committees of filed disclosures indicating they are
6:30
Speaker 1: piling in a huge load of additional cash. This is
6:33
Speaker 1: just over the past week, the Republican Jewish Coalition spending
6:38
Speaker 1: another four hundred and seventy thousand dollars described as misleadingly
6:42
Speaker 1: named United Democracy product with a political action committee affiliated
6:46
Speaker 1: with a formidable American Israeli Public Affairs Committee a pack
6:51
Speaker 1: nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars in additional spending announced
6:55
Speaker 1: by them, the MAGA Kentucky Pack, created solely for the
6:59
Speaker 1: purpose of Congressman Massy, funded by non Kentuckian Jewish billionaires
7:05
Speaker 1: Miriam Addelson, Paul Singer, and John Paulson. They disclosed more
7:08
Speaker 1: than one point six million dollars in funding the campaign
7:11
Speaker 1: against Massy since May seven, lots of fat bank flowing
7:14
Speaker 1: into that one. More than twenty million dollars in outside spending,
7:19
Speaker 1: money spent by political action committees and other entities that
7:22
Speaker 1: aren't part of the candidate's campaign. That's the ones where
7:25
Speaker 1: you don't hear I'm Congressman Massey and I proved this message,
7:27
Speaker 1: or any alternative. I met Gowery, and I prove this message.
7:30
Speaker 1: Those are political action committees, and that's where you see
7:32
Speaker 1: most of the foul lies that are being circulated around.
7:43
Speaker 1: Last week, Massy hit by a weird allegation of wrongdoing
7:47
Speaker 1: by an ext girlfriend, Cynthia West. Oh my gods, Massy
7:50
Speaker 1: paid her five thousand dollars in hush money. Well, you
7:53
Speaker 1: might want to look behind the veneer of that Lake
7:55
Speaker 1: breaking news because it's a bunch of crap. Anybody that
8:02
Speaker 1: Bobers had pulled of an air away from that loan statement,
8:04
Speaker 1: Oh hush money did not understand the fact that well
8:07
Speaker 1: Donald Massey was dating her. They broke up in January
8:11
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five. Data for a few months. According
8:13
Speaker 1: to Massy, he gave her money five thousand to ten
8:16
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to help her moving costs and paying bills
8:18
Speaker 1: to move to Washington, DC. Why because she was in Florida.
8:20
Speaker 1: They were having what was called a long distance relationship.
8:24
Speaker 1: And you should apply for the open job position to
8:26
Speaker 1: Representative Victoria's Sparts office. She's a Republican from Indiana. Hey,
8:31
Speaker 1: Massey says, there's an open spot. You should apply for
8:33
Speaker 1: the job. I will assist you since apparently your husband
8:36
Speaker 1: is your ex husband is not providing you with any support. Money. Here,
8:39
Speaker 1: have some money. Apparently she paid a lot of it back,
8:42
Speaker 1: as much as five thousand dollars of the ten allegedly
8:44
Speaker 1: had her for moving expenses. It's a timing issue. She
8:50
Speaker 1: did obtain a temporary ninety day position in Sparts's office,
8:54
Speaker 1: so she applied and got the ninety day temporary that
8:58
Speaker 1: time expired, it wasn't renewed. Now she claims that she
9:03
Speaker 1: was fired and she fought a wrongful termination lawsuit. I
9:06
Speaker 1: guess Spats, I guess Sparts's office, Office of Congressional Workplace
9:10
Speaker 1: Rights apparently offered to settle that claim against Sparts's office,
9:14
Speaker 1: not Massy, for sixty grand. She refused because, well, there
9:17
Speaker 1: was a non disclosure agreement that came along with that,
9:19
Speaker 1: and I guess she didn't want to abide for that.
9:21
Speaker 1: But there are those non disclosure agreements and literally everything.
9:24
Speaker 1: But see that dispute was over an employment issue with
9:28
Speaker 1: Sparts's office, So facts not entirely in dispute. Massy and
9:40
Speaker 1: West dated. Massie gave her between five and ten grand
9:43
Speaker 1: during the relationship to help her get her.
9:45
Speaker 3: Feet in DC.
9:46
Speaker 1: West took the job, they broke up. West gave back
9:51
Speaker 1: some or all the money, and West, then I should emphasize,
9:57
Speaker 1: lost your job, and she suits Sparts's office. Now this
10:03
Speaker 1: is the timing issue that you got to look. See,
10:05
Speaker 1: this is the reality that well, this proves the veneer
10:11
Speaker 1: that he paid her some hush money. She's claiming Massy
10:13
Speaker 1: offered her money and a lot less money than the
10:16
Speaker 1: Sparts office had offered to settle the case, remember sixty
10:19
Speaker 1: grand to drop the lawsuit against Sparts's office. He gave
10:29
Speaker 1: her the money before she even got the job. How
10:32
Speaker 1: could that money have something to do with the lawsuit
10:35
Speaker 1: that hadn't even seen the light of day yet, because
10:37
Speaker 1: she was employed there for that ninety day temporary position.
10:43
Speaker 1: So you believe what you want. And the artificial intelligence
10:47
Speaker 1: was an interesting thing because you have these AI ads,
10:53
Speaker 1: these satirical ads, and it even says that in the
10:55
Speaker 1: gallery and ads, the ones where that he accuses Congressman
10:58
Speaker 1: Massey of a thrupple, they have AI showing the Massey
11:03
Speaker 1: and eleon Omar and I guess aoc entering into a
11:06
Speaker 1: hotel room together. It's among other ones in there, and
11:08
Speaker 1: it's for anybody knows clearly Massey didn't do any of that.
11:13
Speaker 1: And one of them specifically says a satirical I'd created
11:16
Speaker 1: with artificial intelligence. It's in fine print. But there is
11:20
Speaker 1: this sad reality. And this isn't a criticism of older voters.
11:24
Speaker 1: It's just a criticism of anybody doesn't appreciate that. Really,
11:27
Speaker 1: you can't believe your eyes anymore these days. Older voters
11:30
Speaker 1: don't know that AI exists. Maybe you're gonna look at that,
11:33
Speaker 1: and I think that actually happened, that Massey actually went
11:36
Speaker 1: on a date with aoc and ileon Omar and that
11:38
Speaker 1: they checked into a hotel together. Yeah, put that next
11:41
Speaker 1: year Steele dossier and does anybody else find any fault
11:49
Speaker 1: with Gallery and skipping eight or more debate opportunities? His
11:54
Speaker 1: argument is, well, mostly wouldn't debate his prior challengers. Well, okay,
11:57
Speaker 1: what has that got to do with the price of beans?
11:59
Speaker 1: He's unning a Biden campaign hide in the basement to
12:03
Speaker 1: keep talking about how you're in an awesome war here.
12:05
Speaker 1: And I'm not disputing that you gotta have stones to
12:09
Speaker 1: be a seal, There's no question about that. What else
12:12
Speaker 1: does it bring to the table, Brian Thomas asked out loud,
12:15
Speaker 1: just because I don't really know what ed Gyring's running
12:17
Speaker 1: on other than to be a guest man for Trump period,
12:19
Speaker 1: end of story. So I'm kind of curious to know
12:22
Speaker 1: what my Northern Kentucky voters feel about this. Tomorrow's the
12:24
Speaker 1: big day. Early votings closed, and according to what little
12:28
Speaker 1: polling is out there, it's a squeaker A squeaker five eighteen.
12:34
Speaker 1: Right now, it looks like Jeff and Marker on the phone,
12:36
Speaker 1: looking forward to talking to both of you guys. Five
12:37
Speaker 1: one three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred
12:40
Speaker 1: and eight two three Talk toound five fifty on eighteen T
12:42
Speaker 1: phondes be all right back.
12:44
Speaker 4: Spend Memorial Day weekend at Great American Boss.
12:47
Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones. A couple of callers online.
12:49
Speaker 1: Look forward hearing from you. Five one three, seven, nine fifty,
12:51
Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred eight two to three talk Town
12:53
Speaker 1: five fifty on eighteen T phone. Of course, talking about
12:55
Speaker 1: Congress from Massey, described by Trump as one of the worst,
12:58
Speaker 1: most unreliable congressman in the history of our country, an
13:02
Speaker 1: even bigger insult to our nation than Cassidy Senator Bill Cassidy,
13:05
Speaker 1: who lost his rage because he voted to voted to
13:07
Speaker 1: impeach Trump second time around. I understand that called Massey
13:11
Speaker 1: a major sleees bag. Get this loser out of politics,
13:15
Speaker 1: said Trump to my Kentucky friends, and also called him
13:18
Speaker 1: Ran Paul Junior, which if I was run or senator
13:20
Speaker 1: or Congress from Massey, I'd take that as a compliment anyway.
13:24
Speaker 1: Lots of vitriol and anger from Donald Trump. He also
13:28
Speaker 1: claimed he was going to withdraw his endorse with Representative
13:30
Speaker 1: Lauren bober To California because she campaigned with Massey and
13:32
Speaker 1: he called her weak minded. Jeff, thanks for calling this morning.
13:38
Speaker 1: Happy Monday to you.
13:40
Speaker 5: Good morning.
13:41
Speaker 6: Is this the real Brian Thomas or the AI version?
13:48
Speaker 1: You got the former?
13:52
Speaker 5: You discovered everything. I was going to mention about the
13:55
Speaker 5: Kentucky primary.
13:58
Speaker 1: Well, how are you feeling about it? I was up
14:02
Speaker 1: here in Ohio as oh okay. Well, Jeff, if you
14:06
Speaker 1: were able to vote in the primary for or against
14:09
Speaker 1: Congress and MESSI, where would you go.
14:14
Speaker 5: I'd hide in my basement.
14:16
Speaker 1: That's not an answer, Jeff. Then that's a vote for
14:18
Speaker 1: the Democrat. Ultimately, isn't it?
14:22
Speaker 5: Send Bassy to the Epstein Island.
14:25
Speaker 1: Send Messie to Epstein Island? Well, maybe that's where the
14:29
Speaker 1: documents are that everybody up until a moment in time
14:31
Speaker 1: ago wanted to see and Donald Trump apparently doesn't want
14:33
Speaker 1: see him anymore, even though he campaigned on letting us
14:36
Speaker 1: see them. Go ahead, makes sense out of that one,
14:38
Speaker 1: and call me back if you can figure out what
14:39
Speaker 1: the hell's Trumps deal on that promise to release them
14:42
Speaker 1: and then is upset that Massy for forcing the release
14:44
Speaker 1: of the documents. Interesting reality that one, Mark, Welcome to
14:47
Speaker 1: the show. Happy Monday to you.
14:50
Speaker 7: Thanks. You were talking about the First Amendment guy that
14:53
Speaker 7: was in comington I believe the other day. He goes
14:57
Speaker 7: by Kansas City Accountability. He's got a lot videos on
15:01
Speaker 7: the internet. These guys are advocates for the First Amendments.
15:07
Speaker 7: I've watched hundreds of these things. I would advise anyone
15:11
Speaker 7: to watch clips from a guy that goes by honor
15:15
Speaker 7: your oath. He's an older guy. He goes and stands
15:19
Speaker 7: in a public place frequently like a farmer's market or
15:23
Speaker 7: outside of church or whatever, and he holds a sign
15:27
Speaker 7: saying please play pray for the homeless stats And when
15:32
Speaker 7: people go by, he waves at him very friendly and says,
15:34
Speaker 7: you know, please pray for the vets and so on.
15:37
Speaker 2: People call the cops on me.
15:39
Speaker 7: Why I want to run him off constantly and he's
15:42
Speaker 7: just standing there holding a sign, damn, please pray for
15:45
Speaker 7: homeless sets.
15:47
Speaker 1: I think that he's well if it is right to
15:50
Speaker 1: do that, Mark.
15:52
Speaker 7: Well, of course he is. You're a little l libertarian.
15:55
Speaker 7: How can you possibly be against someone standing there exercising
15:59
Speaker 7: there for Amendment rights, perfectly legal. Yeah, and they get hassled,
16:03
Speaker 7: and I do mean hansled by the police officers about
16:06
Speaker 7: eighty percent of the time, maybe a little more than that.
16:09
Speaker 7: The officers walk up immediately tell the guy, you've got
16:12
Speaker 7: to move along.
16:14
Speaker 8: Standing on the corner.
16:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, camera.
16:16
Speaker 1: If he's in a public space, clearly he's allowed to
16:19
Speaker 1: do that. I would argue, I would like to I'm
16:21
Speaker 1: very curious to know what the police tell him in
16:23
Speaker 1: so far as why he has to move. What's what,
16:25
Speaker 1: you know, statute.
16:26
Speaker 7: They're making people nervous?
16:28
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no no. Listen. If a copcument me
16:31
Speaker 1: you're making people nervous, you need to leave. I mean
16:34
Speaker 1: my immediate response is that there's no law against making
16:36
Speaker 1: people nervous. Welcome to the world which we find ourselves.
16:39
Speaker 1: So what do they say? What sight, what specific statute
16:43
Speaker 1: or law that they say he's violating. I imagine they
16:46
Speaker 1: can't say anything.
16:48
Speaker 7: When they can't find a real violation. They start going
16:51
Speaker 7: with disorderly conduct.
16:53
Speaker 1: Okay, well, you know what, there's a civil rights mark.
16:55
Speaker 1: All I can say is not knowing more. There's a
16:57
Speaker 1: civil rights lawyer out there who'll be more than happy
17:00
Speaker 1: take the case on sue the police department for violating
17:02
Speaker 1: his civil rights. We do have a First Amendment right
17:04
Speaker 1: to say what's on our mind, very very very well
17:08
Speaker 1: protected under the law all the way up to the
17:10
Speaker 1: Supreme Court decisions We've talked about many times, Judge of
17:12
Speaker 1: Balatano on this program. Yeah, I'm with you, man. It
17:16
Speaker 1: sounds like nonsense to me, most notably in a world
17:19
Speaker 1: where Antifa and Block Lives Matter and other angry violent
17:24
Speaker 1: protesters get a free pass on literally anything they do,
17:27
Speaker 1: including violence and destruction of federal property. Why well, free
17:32
Speaker 1: speech right, Eric loitering, I'm not quite sure that that
17:37
Speaker 1: covers it. If you're engaging in protected speech. I don't
17:39
Speaker 1: know that that's called loitering, and I'd be curious to
17:42
Speaker 1: know what the loitering laws say. Can't speak directly to
17:45
Speaker 1: it because I don't have it in front of me.
17:47

Speaker 1: that opened over the weekend, there were more than he said.
18:48
Speaker 1: There are more than one hundred former crew members that
18:51
Speaker 1: were in attendance over the weekend. By five forty two
18:55
Speaker 1: fifty five Kersee talk station. Good Morning. Christopher Smith texted
19:03
Speaker 1: me this morning through a conclusion about John's trying to
19:05
Speaker 1: pass a long to helped me out at seven to
19:07
Speaker 1: twenty to vent his spleen. Always look forward to having
19:09
Speaker 1: Christopher on the show, and I like the stack of
19:11
Speaker 1: stupid trying to wake up at a five o'clock hour.
19:12
Speaker 1: If you feel like Colin, feel free to do so.
19:14
Speaker 1: Angry with me or not, it's a okay here in
19:16
Speaker 1: the morning show. Maybe I overlook something.
19:21
Speaker 8: I do.
19:21
Speaker 1: That career criminal arrested for stealing and then apparently swallowing
19:27
Speaker 1: three quarters of a million dollars worth of Tiffany diamonds.
19:31
Speaker 1: Why are you doing it? We're going to find out.
19:33
Speaker 1: He rejected a plea deal offered by prosecutors. He wants
19:36
Speaker 1: to represent himself in Florida. We know what that makes
19:38
Speaker 1: him a fool. Judge granted Jaython Gilder's request Wave is
19:43
Speaker 1: right to counsel in the burglary and grand theft case.
19:46
Speaker 1: His attorney was discharged, probably for reasons I imagine involving pay. Anyhow,
19:53
Speaker 1: thirty three year old Gilder locked up without bonds since
19:55
Speaker 1: his arrest last year for stealing two sets of diamonds.
19:58
Speaker 1: Diamonds again Quarth close to three quarters million dollars. Arrested
20:02
Speaker 1: six hours after the burglary, he traveled to Florida on
20:05
Speaker 1: three hundred miles from Orlando. Yanked out of his vehicle
20:10
Speaker 1: by the Florida Highway Patrol. He allegedly swallowed the diamonds
20:14
Speaker 1: and then asked cobs, am I going to be charged
20:17
Speaker 1: with what's in my stomach? And then followed up while
20:21
Speaker 1: in the squad car, I should have thrown them out
20:23
Speaker 1: the window. They did a scan of him, and yes,
20:26
Speaker 1: his stomach did contain what they described as foreign objects.
20:29
Speaker 1: After two weeks under police guard at the Florida hospital,
20:35
Speaker 1: he finally passed the stolen merchandise. Interestingly enough, in the
20:40
Speaker 1: excrement there were two other sets of earrings, not part
20:43
Speaker 1: of the Tiffany heist. They don't know how those got there.
20:49
Speaker 1: Let us see here offered a negotiated plea deal because
20:52
Speaker 1: of the strength of the case they have against him.
20:55
Speaker 1: Robbery carries with it a maximum fifteen year prison term,
20:58
Speaker 1: with the grand theft charge punishable by up to thirty
21:00
Speaker 1: years in prison if the case goes to trial. Ends
21:03
Speaker 1: in a conviction, they would seek sentencing enhancements based on
21:06
Speaker 1: his status as a habitual offender and a person a
21:09
Speaker 1: rather in a prison release reoffender. He could then face
21:12
Speaker 1: up to thirty years for robbery. Okay, and that's not
21:21
Speaker 1: due too many talking too much talking with Chad GPT,
21:23
Speaker 1: because the police will find those interactions. And it happened
21:26
Speaker 1: to this guy. Drunken criminal rampage. This guy went on
21:30
Speaker 1: he vandalyized seventeen vehicles in a campus parking lot. His name,
21:33
Speaker 1: Ryan Schaeffer, twenty copped a plea deal to a property
21:37
Speaker 1: damage count during a circuit appearance court. It was a
21:40
Speaker 1: three am spree during which he shattered car windows, ripped
21:42
Speaker 1: off Sidemeares, Dennet hoods, broke windshield wipers. This at Missouri
21:46
Speaker 1: State University in Springfield. Well, the class he carries a
21:51
Speaker 1: range of punishment between one and four years. He's free
21:54
Speaker 1: on seventy five hundred dollars bond. He could be locked
21:56
Speaker 1: up for what they call a special term, which might
21:59
Speaker 1: see him in jail for year. Well, when they're investigating
22:02
Speaker 1: the vandalisms for you, they discovered that minutes after damaging
22:05
Speaker 1: the audioce he had a lengthy chat GPT conversation during
22:08
Speaker 1: which he confessed to the crime, asked about the possibility
22:12
Speaker 1: of getting caught, and wondered, is there any way they
22:14
Speaker 1: could know it was me? A search of his iPhone
22:19
Speaker 1: yielded what police called troubling dialogue exchange between the defendant
22:23
Speaker 1: and chat GPT. He said, I how U f warded?
22:28
Speaker 1: Am I question? Mark? Will I go to jail? Apparently
22:32
Speaker 1: the AI program gave him tips about the potential outcome
22:34
Speaker 1: of getting caught or being involved in this type of behavior.
22:38
Speaker 1: Schaffer typed, what if I smashed the S word out
22:41
Speaker 1: of multiple cars? He also has chat GPT if the
22:46
Speaker 1: university has cameras in the freshman parking lot incriminating much? Yeah?
22:53
Speaker 1: Lightly doing idiot things because they're idiots. Remember your three
22:56
Speaker 1: your searches are apparently still in there. If your trees
23:02
Speaker 1: are showing signs of disease and damage, do what the
23:04
Speaker 1: Thomas happened.
23:05
Speaker 9: From the east side, chucking from fifty five k R
23:08
Speaker 9: see the talk station.
23:12
Speaker 1: It is five fifty Come up with a five fifty
23:14
Speaker 1: one fifty five KERR. See the talk station five and
23:16
Speaker 1: thirty seven nine fifty five eight hundred eight two three
23:18
Speaker 1: talk found five fifty on at and T phone. Yes
23:21
Speaker 1: primary E for my friends in the Commonwealth Kentucky. Anybody
23:24
Speaker 1: else could be happy it's over. Just not to see
23:26
Speaker 1: the ads anymore. Me back to the stack of stupid.
23:29
Speaker 1: Seattle Police Department say man in his fifties made his
23:32
Speaker 1: way into the ceiling of an LA fitness happened last
23:35
Speaker 1: Thursday afternoon and then fell fifteen feet to the ground
23:38
Speaker 1: three pm officers showed up. Witnesses told police the man
23:41
Speaker 1: first entered the gym and went into both the women's
23:44
Speaker 1: and men's bathroom, then he disappeared. Jim Patron then told
23:49
Speaker 1: the staff they thought someone was walking around in this ceiling.
23:52
Speaker 1: After seeing the man's foot break through his ceiling tile.
23:57
Speaker 1: Jim Jim Staff told the police the man fell through
23:59
Speaker 1: the ceiling and landed on the ground about fifteen feet below,
24:02
Speaker 1: and he was knocked unconscious. Officers believed he was experiencing
24:07
Speaker 1: a mental health crisis and he was unaware that he
24:11
Speaker 1: fell through the ceiling. All right, that's one mental health crisis.
24:17
Speaker 1: Taken to the Harbor View Medical Center facing property destruction charges.
24:24
Speaker 1: Don't stuff monkeys in your underwear. Columbia couple lugedly strapped
24:30
Speaker 1: three baby monkeys to their underwear in an effort to
24:33
Speaker 1: smuggle them into the Dominican Republic, and one suffocated and died.
24:40
Speaker 1: Twenty seven year old woman and a twenty six year
24:42
Speaker 1: old man busted at Cartagenia's International Air Force after stunned
24:45
Speaker 1: authorities discovered the monkeys, two white face Capuchins and a
24:48
Speaker 1: howler stuffed in the underwear. I bet it was a howler.
24:53
Speaker 1: The capuchin monkeys apparently survived the well. The stuffing howler
25:00
Speaker 1: is again believed to have suffocated. Maybe we have an
25:02
Speaker 1: award to give out on this one. Anyway, animal died
25:05
Speaker 1: in conditions that we can only describe as inhumane, said
25:08
Speaker 1: the police spokesperson. Footage show the two surviving primates sleeping
25:11
Speaker 1: while clinging to a teddy baron a tale. Other clips
25:14
Speaker 1: captured by wildlife officials showed them feeding and caring for
25:18
Speaker 1: the tiny monkeys. Obviously heartbreaking that one. So I'm not
25:22
Speaker 1: quite sure what charges are going to face With several
25:24
Speaker 1: bunkies they say reportedly worth over one point four million
25:28
Speaker 1: dollars on the global black market, Geez charged with illegal
25:33
Speaker 1: exploitation of natural resources and wildlife trafficking. According to the outlet.
25:37
Speaker 1: They face up to eleven years behind bars if they
25:42
Speaker 1: are convicted, and let us take a word of cautionary
25:49
Speaker 1: tale from this guy and let this never happen to
25:51
Speaker 1: any of us. I feel very sorry for this man,
25:53
Speaker 1: although he is facing charges. Florida man arrested for failing
25:57
Speaker 1: to secure a handgun that was used by his nine
26:00
Speaker 1: year old to unintentionally shoot a five year old boy
26:04
Speaker 1: in the chest. Dear, the thirty six year old Robert
26:08
Speaker 1: Giles stands accused of one kind of culpable negligence because
26:11
Speaker 1: he left a firearm within easy reach of a miner.
26:15
Speaker 1: Happened March twenty fifth in Florida, Manite County Sheriff's office
26:21
Speaker 1: dealing with this when deputy's calling in response is shooting
26:23
Speaker 1: with injuries. They found the younger boy suffering from a
26:27
Speaker 1: gunshot wounded the upper chest. Investigators de termined the Giles son,
26:31
Speaker 1: located the firearm inside the primary bedroom, then accidentally discharged
26:34
Speaker 1: that weapon, striking the boy with a different name in
26:37
Speaker 1: the light in the chest. Older boyle The older boy,
26:40
Speaker 1: they say, wasn't even looking for a gun. According to
26:42
Speaker 1: the police, he said he entered his father's bedroom searching
26:45
Speaker 1: for Pokemon pens and while searching that is when he
26:49
Speaker 1: located the firearm on the floor underneath the bed. Now,
26:54
Speaker 1: Giles claimed that the gun was stored on the nightstand
26:57
Speaker 1: next to his bed. He also said the gun had
26:59
Speaker 1: been stored with a round in the chamber but no
27:02
Speaker 1: magazine inserted, which means you're at least gonna be able
27:04
Speaker 1: to squeeze off one round. You got little kids around,
27:06
Speaker 1: maybe we need to take some stock and where our
27:08
Speaker 1: firearms are and prevent them from getting into the hands
27:10
Speaker 1: of the young people. Please, Dear God, got a couple
27:13
Speaker 1: of callers on line. We're gonna take those after the
27:15
Speaker 1: top of there, new if you don't mind holding Gary
27:17
Speaker 1: for example, I see another callers online looking forward to
27:19
Speaker 1: hearing from you. The big day is tomorrow for my
27:21
Speaker 1: friends in Commonwealth Kentucky. Are you gonna go with Trump's
27:24
Speaker 1: guy or you're gonna go with Congressman Massey, who is
27:27
Speaker 1: well what I would argue, a man of the people.
27:30
Speaker 1: He represents my take on it. Anyway, you may have
27:33
Speaker 1: your own. Please feel free to call and volunteer your
27:35
Speaker 1: thoughts and comments. Don't go away, I'll be right back.
27:40
Speaker 1: FIVEFI give five cars de talk das in Happy Monday,
27:45
Speaker 1: all right, Thomas here and looking forward to taking calls,
27:47
Speaker 1: including Gary, who's hanging on the phone here five on three,
27:49
Speaker 1: seven four nine fifty five eight two three talk. Yes,
27:52
Speaker 1: it's election, Dave and my friends in the Commonwealth of
27:54
Speaker 1: see who prevails in this very very contentious, most expensive
27:59
Speaker 1: race in American history for the House representatives, of course
28:01
Speaker 1: at gallery and Congressman Thomas Mann or Thomas Massey. So
28:05
Speaker 1: and I listened to that gallery ed disloyal to the
28:08
Speaker 1: Republican Party, says Donald Trump about Congressman Massey. Well, that
28:11
Speaker 1: ext before she had to pause and say, well, wait
28:12
Speaker 1: a second, what does it mean to be loyal to
28:17
Speaker 1: what is the Republican Party? And say the same thing
28:19
Speaker 1: about Democrats to do this all the time, like you
28:21
Speaker 1: got a range of like hardcore Marxists all the way
28:25
Speaker 1: through JFK, the remnants of what's left in the Democratic
28:28
Speaker 1: Party of JFK style or JFK style Democrats which come
28:32
Speaker 1: across as conservatives these days. But the same thing goes
28:35
Speaker 1: with the Republican Party. I mean, I'm looking for a
28:38
Speaker 1: deficit hawk, someone who really cares about the outrageous spending
28:42
Speaker 1: that our government does. Every single day we've dug ourselves
28:45
Speaker 1: into a hole we can't climb out of. That one
28:47
Speaker 1: man who is loyal to the whole concept of fiscal responsibility,
28:51
Speaker 1: Thomas Massey. Does anybody else in the Republican Party even
28:55
Speaker 1: care about fiscal responsibility anymore? It doesn't seem to be.
29:01
Speaker 1: So you can say, make the charge disloyal to the
29:03
Speaker 1: Republican Party. I do believe this responsibility is still a
29:07
Speaker 1: tenant of the Republican Party platform. So who else out
29:09
Speaker 1: there is disloyal to that particular tenant? Not only asking
29:14
Speaker 1: for a friend, folks, you got one more day here
29:16
Speaker 1: to contemplate this, so yeah, and today coming up real
29:20
Speaker 1: quick here Christopher Smith miman at seven to twenty for
29:22
Speaker 1: the Smith event from the former vice mayor of the
29:24
Speaker 1: city sinceinnay, that's in the next hour. And then money
29:26
Speaker 1: money with Brian James. They will be talking about oil,
29:28
Speaker 1: beef and vegetables. Yes, all going up through the roof
29:31
Speaker 1: and maybe even getting worse Wall Street's newest AI obsession.
29:34
Speaker 1: And then finally, prediction markets are here. Their popularity is growing,
29:37
Speaker 1: and prediction markets at least right now have that gy
29:40
Speaker 1: Raid a few points ahead of Congressman Thomas Massey if
29:42
Speaker 1: you want to vote on outcomes of political races. Let's
29:45
Speaker 1: go to the phone and see what Gary's got new
29:47
Speaker 1: hamsh Gary, Welcome back to the show, my friend. Happy
29:49
Speaker 1: Monday to you.
29:51
Speaker 8: Man. I thought i'd call up just show you and
29:53
Speaker 8: Joe some love. We're going to call this the Brian
29:56
Speaker 8: and Joe Appreciation because I don't know what all the
29:59
Speaker 8: angers well, man, I'm telling you why. It seemed like
30:02
Speaker 8: everybody's a little angry little elves going around today. But
30:07
Speaker 8: I do want to tell you we appreciate you.
30:09
Speaker 1: I do appreciate that. Yeah, and without Joe, this show
30:12
Speaker 1: will not be possible. Thank you Joe Strecker for being
30:15
Speaker 1: well my my at minimum, my voice of recollection. Joe,
30:19
Speaker 1: what was the name of that guy? Who is that guy?
30:22
Speaker 1: Joe knows how bad I am with names. He's sitting
30:24
Speaker 1: here with a smile on his face. No kidding, Thomas,
30:27
Speaker 1: good luck without.
30:28
Speaker 8: Me anyhow, When I couldn't help but to chuckle when
30:34
Speaker 8: you were saying, well, you know, is this Brian Thomas Ai?
30:38
Speaker 10: And you were like, and I was thinking, that's exactly
30:42
Speaker 10: what AI would say.
30:45
Speaker 1: Since going back to the Massy Gallery race, we can't
30:48
Speaker 1: believe our own eyes anymore, or our own ears. I
30:51
Speaker 1: certainly understand that. Absolutely.
30:55
Speaker 8: I would probably poke for Massy because because he does
30:58
Speaker 8: have principles, and I would vote for Trump because he's
31:02
Speaker 8: a tour buster and he's getting things done right in
31:06
Speaker 8: the way.
31:07
Speaker 1: Can you reconcile those that seems to be the problem.
31:10
Speaker 1: And I've talked to a lot of folks, conservative minded folks,
31:13
Speaker 1: folks that I regularly agree with, you know, not all
31:15
Speaker 1: the time, but most of the time. You know, he's
31:17
Speaker 1: just got to learn to bend a little bit. They
31:19
Speaker 1: say about Massy. He's just too strong and too wed
31:22
Speaker 1: to his convictions. But see, that's where my respect for
31:26
Speaker 1: Congress from Massy springs from he is and he's the
31:30
Speaker 1: one and that's the problem that many have with him
31:32
Speaker 1: is because he does force people to have to deal
31:35
Speaker 1: with the realities of something like the National Dad. Wait
31:37
Speaker 1: a second, going back to John's calling angry with me
31:39
Speaker 1: for failing to say specifically that he never votes for
31:42
Speaker 1: foreign aid, right, why because we're broke? Why are we
31:48
Speaker 1: giving money to other countries when we can't pay the
31:50
Speaker 1: bills here? It's a legitimate question to ask, and that's
31:53
Speaker 1: a very uncomfortable question for people who want to continue
31:55
Speaker 1: to spend money like it's unlimited and it's never going
31:57
Speaker 1: to cause us a problem.
32:04
Speaker 8: I think this is just showing the true face of
32:08
Speaker 8: that we're in a dilemma here. We're getting into wars,
32:11
Speaker 8: we're getting into giving money away, We're giving billions of
32:16
Speaker 8: dollars in fraud away, and it's you know it all,
32:21
Speaker 8: it's all an account and we got to figure out
32:23
Speaker 8: how to thread that needle.
32:25
Speaker 1: Yes, we do. And one of the things Massive voted against,
32:27
Speaker 1: which apparently has got into some people's skin, is the
32:30
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen massive one point or two point whatever trillion dollars.
32:35
Speaker 1: And I suppose you could argue that Congress from Massy
32:38
Speaker 1: was pressing in that he knew it was going to
32:39
Speaker 1: go out and spend a whole bunch of money will
32:41
Speaker 1: be stolen from us by people who were abusing and
32:43
Speaker 1: builking the system. And then there's also that corollary we
32:46
Speaker 1: all find out what definitive proof that COVID was a
32:49
Speaker 1: big lie, big scan that was perpetrated on the American people,
32:52
Speaker 1: Which lets me deviate over and read from Holman W.
32:55
Speaker 1: Jenkins Junior for the Public COVID is no longer a mystery.
32:59
Speaker 1: It's a series of lies that have been told us.
33:01
Speaker 1: And I mean, how do you draw a conclusion about
33:03
Speaker 1: what's truth or not? Going back to John's anger with me,
33:05
Speaker 1: how do you go back to figure out what's the
33:07
Speaker 1: truth or not. Somebody drops out of a heart attack
33:09
Speaker 1: after getting a COVID nineteen vaccine. Is it definitively COVID.
33:12
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't see the statistics. No one
33:15
Speaker 1: bothered to let us know, and they were screaming and
33:18
Speaker 1: clamoring about us turning into a political issue. If you
33:20
Speaker 1: didn't want to get the vaccine, you were some evil
33:22
Speaker 1: Trump supporter. Anyway, over to Coleman Jenkins, it's great, great
33:25
Speaker 1: observations about this multiple sets of lies and what is
33:28
Speaker 1: lurking behind the background? Why were we lied to? Well,
33:32
Speaker 1: he draws some interesting conclusions about that. After the CIA
33:34
Speaker 1: whistlebrower testimony the other day, he's in in a sense,
33:37
Speaker 1: the debate is over. Since twenty twenty three, the American
33:39
Speaker 1: majority has believed COVID came from a Chinese lab. In
33:43
Speaker 1: twenty and four, twenty seven years after the fact, a
33:45
Speaker 1: Chinese virologists confided in an American counterpart that nineteen seventy
33:49
Speaker 1: seventh flu pandemic began with an accidental release in China
33:53
Speaker 1: have a stored pathogen. Imagination isn't strained to picture a
33:56
Speaker 1: similar confirmation eventually about Wuhan. The alternative that the virus
34:01
Speaker 1: passed naturally from an animal population of the human population
34:05
Speaker 1: will have its fans, but unlikely ever to be proved
34:07
Speaker 1: in such a way that would derail the Lableak origin
34:11
Speaker 1: story of the US now firmly believes this means coming
34:14
Speaker 1: to terms with another fact. The US governing establishments urgent
34:20
Speaker 1: smoke screen around COVID's possible origins to allay pressures from voters,
34:26
Speaker 1: the media, and political entrepreneurs to confront China over its
34:30
Speaker 1: role in sparking the pandemic. Oh our relations take more
34:34
Speaker 1: precedent over truth. This week's Senate testimony by career CIA
34:38
Speaker 1: official James Erdman the Third Hero, largely ignored them by
34:42
Speaker 1: the media, which is strange you would think that would
34:44
Speaker 1: be front page everywhere anyway, describes as a background recall
34:49
Speaker 1: the press's eagerness at the time to help stigmatize the
34:53
Speaker 1: Lableak possibility. Ditto the CIA on the alleged advice and
34:58
Speaker 1: active guidance of doctor Anthony Fauci dealings with Beijing must
35:04
Speaker 1: not be complicated by unproductive COVID recriminations. Such was the
35:09
Speaker 1: broad consensus this self interest, I suspect would have prevailed
35:15
Speaker 1: even in the absence of an additional wrinkle. The US
35:18
Speaker 1: governments and doctor Fauci's role in sponsoring research at the
35:21
Speaker 1: Wuhan Institute of Virology uh oh I Holmen Jenkins have
35:25
Speaker 1: likened the COVID origin riddled to the conspiracy of silence
35:28
Speaker 1: around the nineteen ninety nine Russia apartment block bombings that
35:32
Speaker 1: brought Vladimir Putin into power. Interesting this one. The US
35:36
Speaker 1: didn't choose mister Putin, Borsi Elsen did, but the US
35:40
Speaker 1: and its allies pulled together as a team to legitimize
35:44
Speaker 1: mister Putin by strenuously ignoring evidence that the bombings were
35:48
Speaker 1: orchestrated by his former secret service colleagues to aid in
35:51
Speaker 1: his rise. What's the missing element in the story told
35:56
Speaker 1: by this week's CIA whistleblower. The job of an intelligence
36:01
Speaker 1: agency isn't simply to deliver the truth without fear of favor,
36:05
Speaker 1: but to provide intelligence support for US administration policy, which
36:10
Speaker 1: continues to mean protecting China from COVID blowback. That's your
36:16
Speaker 1: bottom line. In a side of the Times, it may
36:19
Speaker 1: be useful to rank recent examples of US government disinformation
36:23
Speaker 1: towards voters that will be US in the degree to
36:27
Speaker 1: which legitimate national interests might be involved. Largely bipartisan, after all,
36:33
Speaker 1: was the urge not to disturb relations with China with
36:36
Speaker 1: COVID backbinding. In twenty sixteen, when the FBI chief improperly
36:42
Speaker 1: exploited bogus Russian intelligence to finesse Hillary Clinton's email problem,
36:47
Speaker 1: Poles were suggesting the US electorate would handily award her
36:49
Speaker 1: the presidency over Donald Trump. By twenty twenty, impressive authorities
36:54
Speaker 1: were assembled to lie to the public about the Hunter
36:58
Speaker 1: Biden laptop in a way that requires the silent participation
37:02
Speaker 1: of mister Putin. Think about that, I've been saying, like,
37:05
Speaker 1: where the hell's ladim repute? With all this Russia collusion
37:07
Speaker 1: lines are going on. He had all the information. He
37:09
Speaker 1: could have come right out loud and said this is
37:11
Speaker 1: a bunch of crap. He didn't. Obviously, Pewton has ideas
37:15
Speaker 1: about what needs to be done here in the United
37:17
Speaker 1: States as well, and he took a pass and stayed
37:19
Speaker 1: sat idly by on the sidelines. Well, you and I
37:22
Speaker 1: were being told on one side that you know Donald
37:24
Speaker 1: Trump was a Russian agent. Well, Hunter Biden was making
37:28
Speaker 1: all kinds of money off of Ukrainian Yeah, okay, you
37:29
Speaker 1: remember the whole story. So Hunter byden laptop required solent
37:34
Speaker 1: participation in Putin with what consequences for US Russia relations
37:38
Speaker 1: and his subsequent Ukraine miscalculation? We can only guess. Or
37:43
Speaker 1: take this week's first Amendment settlement between the United States
37:47
Speaker 1: government and former New York Times reporter Alex Barronson clearer
37:51
Speaker 1: than ever the Biden administration promoted deliberate disinformation about COVID
37:57
Speaker 1: transmission to justifyance proposed vaccine mandates. These mandates is actually
38:02
Speaker 1: reported early even at the time. We're more about shifting
38:06
Speaker 1: blame for the still raging pandemic to Trump voters than
38:10
Speaker 1: to sound public medicine. Right. They got a lot of
38:13
Speaker 1: political knowledge off of making fun of you because you
38:15
Speaker 1: refuse a vaccine for whatever legitimate reason you came up with.
38:18
Speaker 1: Isn't it your body? If the vaccine doesn't stop you
38:21
Speaker 1: from getting the disease, the vaccine doesn't really stop in
38:24
Speaker 1: terms of the transmission, Hey, go ahead and get the vaccine.
38:27
Speaker 1: If you're worried about getting it. About the COVID nineteen virus,
38:31
Speaker 1: why is it my fault? The trend is clear. As
38:37
Speaker 1: the US government gave itself license to engage in disinformation
38:41
Speaker 1: lies aimed at the American people, its motives rapidly degenerated
38:46
Speaker 1: in a basically or rather basically political and corrupt COVID
38:51
Speaker 1: won't be banished back to wherever it came from. Mister
38:54
Speaker 1: Trump can't be unmade as president, lionized by millions, precisely
38:58
Speaker 1: because of the life told against him by a once
39:02
Speaker 1: respected establishment that it is no longer respected. One thing
39:06
Speaker 1: can be put right, but I'm i'd be Holman Jenkin
39:10
Speaker 1: still waiting for the bipartisan wise folk to raise a
39:13
Speaker 1: concerted protest against our descent intoir Silwaukee style politics. In
39:18
Speaker 1: our enlightened times, the press can't be expected to go
39:21
Speaker 1: into a dark room and expiate its cowardice the old
39:24
Speaker 1: fashioned way, but those who lead our media corporations and
39:27
Speaker 1: newsrooms might rediscover the small amount of courage that it
39:32
Speaker 1: takes to tell the truth about public events, regardless of
39:35
Speaker 1: whose ox is gored. Maybe he's a little too optimistic
39:38
Speaker 1: about that. I long for that day. Do you think
39:40
Speaker 1: it's ever going to come back? He concludes. Rarely is
39:45
Speaker 1: it justified to hide important truths from the public, and
39:48
Speaker 1: even less to lie to the public. The above litany
39:53
Speaker 1: shows why not only are the results likely to be unpredictable,
39:56
Speaker 1: but lies have a way of blowing up in the
39:58
Speaker 1: face of the most wealth meaning liars. In future histories.
40:02
Speaker 1: It may even be written that mister Trump, whatever his failings,
40:06
Speaker 1: played one providential role. He exposed an unusually mendacious or
40:12
Speaker 1: at least weak minded I'm going with the former leadership class,
40:16
Speaker 1: which America scarcely knew it suffered until he exposed it.
40:23
Speaker 1: I personally feel like I've been stabbed in the back
40:27
Speaker 1: by those that I used to trust, and that is
40:29
Speaker 1: a terrible, terrible development. Five eighteen Right now fifty five
40:32
Speaker 1: KR see the six eighteen apologies. My signal ninety nine
40:37
Speaker 1: sticker is.
40:38
Speaker 9: Fifty five KRC Deep Talk Station.
40:42
Speaker 1: Five twenty three fifty five KRC Detalk Station Monday. Continuing
40:47
Speaker 1: a theme us being lied to regularly and regularly COVID
40:50
Speaker 1: nineteen lies of course, Hunter Biden laptop lies you know,
40:53
Speaker 1: we can go on and on and on. We are
40:54
Speaker 1: outright lied to. No, Donald Trump did not do anything
40:56
Speaker 1: in the Steele dossier. That was a lie that was
40:58
Speaker 1: paid for by the Democratic National Party.
41:00
Speaker 3: Hmmm.
41:01
Speaker 1: An entire impeachment predicated on a Russia collusion which never
41:04
Speaker 1: ever happened.
41:05
Speaker 3: Lies.
41:06
Speaker 1: Lies. And now something that I've been saying is a
41:09
Speaker 1: lie forever, in spite of the fact that I didn't
41:11
Speaker 1: have additional information, I just sort of step back and said,
41:13
Speaker 1: you know what carbon dioxide is plant food. It's not
41:16
Speaker 1: a pollute. And how can you just label something that's
41:18
Speaker 1: naturally occurring in our environment that plants need to live,
41:22
Speaker 1: thrive and survive. How can you call that a pollutant?
41:24
Speaker 1: If you eliminated carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the plants
41:26
Speaker 1: would die. Yeah, you want that, Well, it's all based
41:30
Speaker 1: on that carbon dioxide and rule RCP eight point five. Yes,
41:35
Speaker 1: the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has ruled that that
41:39
Speaker 1: computer model, which has been relied on for close to
41:41
Speaker 1: two decades and cited regularly by all the climate alarmists,
41:45
Speaker 1: is implausible. Don't hang your hat on that anymore, folks.
41:50
Speaker 1: And what of all the science and papers that have
41:52
Speaker 1: been published relying on our CP eight point five over
41:56
Speaker 1: and over and over again. I guess we can just
41:58
Speaker 1: discount those and say, wait a minut in it, they're implausible.
42:02
Speaker 1: The computer modeling was bent. New York Times the most
42:07
Speaker 1: important prominent home for promoting news stories based on studies
42:11
Speaker 1: that rely on this RCP eight point five. What have
42:14
Speaker 1: they said about this implausible reading by the in an
42:17
Speaker 1: inner governmental panel on climate change? They just blew it
42:21
Speaker 1: out of the air. New York Times has said nothing.
42:27
Speaker 1: BBC in the Guardian also big global warming alarmists, relying
42:31
Speaker 1: regularly over and over again on RCP eight point five.
42:35
Speaker 1: Nothing not a word. Now when you go to the
42:39
Speaker 1: German newspaper Devout the World for those who don't Sprea German,
42:45
Speaker 1: a lobby made RCP eight famous. The most sensational of
42:50
Speaker 1: all climate scenarios, has determined scientific studies, media and politics.
42:56
Speaker 1: Yet it is unrealistic now it is actually being phased out.
43:01
Speaker 1: And I'm sure those folks that developed, since they live
43:03
Speaker 1: in Germany, are pleased to hear that this was all
43:05
Speaker 1: nonsense so they can bring their economy back from the
43:08
Speaker 1: brink of absolute destruction in the name of eliminating carbon
43:10
Speaker 1: dioxide from the globe. Anybody else sick of being live
43:14
Speaker 1: to six twenty five if you five krs de talk station,
43:17
Speaker 1: think of all the control you know you worried about
43:20
Speaker 1: socialists running As a socialist, I plan on taking over
43:23
Speaker 1: the means of contruction, Robert Brook, These nefarious inroads into
43:28
Speaker 1: every element and aspect of our lives. You will buy
43:31
Speaker 1: a green car, You will buy electric everything. You will
43:35
Speaker 1: get rid of your gas fired appliances. You will pay
43:38
Speaker 1: carbon credits and offsets. Talk about an inflationary reality that
43:41
Speaker 1: you will pay more for gasoline because it's well evil
43:44
Speaker 1: to local stories here. You feel free to give me
43:46
Speaker 1: a call though if you prefer also fifty five krs

Speaker 1: dead at the scene. Police said they found a second

44:42
Speaker 1: seven year old Leontae Costin arrested in connection with Bond's death,
44:47
Speaker 1: according to police, but they didn't specify if he was
44:49
Speaker 1: the second person located near the bus. According to Jones
44:52
Speaker 1: and the statement, violence of any kind will not be
44:54
Speaker 1: tolerated in our system, well until you get to the
44:57
Speaker 1: judicial brands right. Safety and scared of our customer and
45:00
Speaker 1: employees is our highest priority. We remained committed to maintaining
45:02
Speaker 1: safe environment for everyone who rides on Metro. That the
45:05

45:18
Speaker 1: of carrying a concealed weapon, and account of receiving stolen property.
45:26
Speaker 1: Green Township suspect charged in connection with the death of
45:31
Speaker 1: his sixty nine year old grandfather happened on Friday in
45:35
Speaker 1: Green Township. Hamlin County. Court documents show police responded to
45:40
Speaker 1: Charlene Dry for reports of a deceased person. They got there,
45:43
Speaker 1: they said they found the body of a sixty nine
45:45
Speaker 1: year old man identified as Alexander Metcalf. Still can't believe
45:49
Speaker 1: he killed his own grandfather, at least that's what's alleged.
45:52
Speaker 1: Investigation revealed. The suspect, identified as Elijah Ray mcculloff, fled
45:56
Speaker 1: the scene. Several schools had to be placed on lockdown
45:59
Speaker 1: a precaution. Hemlin County court documents say mccallaugh strangled Metcalf,
46:03
Speaker 1: resulting in his death. Witnesses responded to the addressed to
46:07
Speaker 1: check on her what One witness responded to check on
46:10
Speaker 1: her brother and grandfather because her father had recently passed away.
46:13
Speaker 1: She got there, that's when she found metcalf dead on
46:16
Speaker 1: the ground with a ligature around his neck. Witness said
46:20
Speaker 1: McCollough was not in the house, but his phone was
46:22
Speaker 1: still there. Officers later found him in a wooded area
46:25
Speaker 1: less than a mile from the scene. He admitted to
46:27
Speaker 1: detectives after his arrest that he used a belt to
46:30
Speaker 1: choke his grandfather until he died, then left the house
46:33
Speaker 1: knowing police would be called. In charge of the aggravated
46:36
Speaker 1: murder and being held in the Hemlond County Justice Center.
46:41
Speaker 1: It's hard to grasp one person injured in a shooting
46:46
Speaker 1: at a gas station having a north side on Sunday
46:48
Speaker 1: evening since i Polase said officers responded to the VP
46:51
Speaker 1: at Spring Grove Avenue that quarter after six yesterday. Police
46:56
Speaker 1: got there, they found the victim of non life threatening
46:57
Speaker 1: gunshot wound the head. At least said they had detained
47:00
Speaker 1: a suspect, but didn't release any name. At the time
47:03
Speaker 1: of the reporting from Fox nineteen six thirty five right
47:09
Speaker 1: now fifty five krs the talk station. It is six
47:17
Speaker 1: thirty nine, right now fifty five Krcity talk station Happy
47:20
Speaker 1: Monday five one three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,
47:22
Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three five, Fox fifty on AT
47:25
Speaker 1: and T phones. Did anybody else know we were in Nigeria? Yeah,
47:28
Speaker 1: we killed an estimated twenty Islamic State militants in Nigeria
47:32
Speaker 1: this day after we killed the group's number two UH terrorist.
47:37
Speaker 1: So it was airstrikes in northeastern Mettelli Village described as
47:42
Speaker 1: the results of close intelligence sharing between the Nigerian and
47:45
Speaker 1: American militaries. Sid I guess is that a CIA operation?
47:52
Speaker 1: Anybody screaming about war powers authorization used military force in Nigeria? Joe,
47:56
Speaker 1: we at war with Nigeria. Just asking for a friend
48:01
Speaker 1: Congress and Messy to chime in on that one anyway.
48:03
Speaker 1: Just sort of fun fact on the sides, because looks
48:06
Speaker 1: like we're gonna go whole hard back to war with Iran.
48:09
Speaker 1: Apparently we're in a bit of a stalemate. And Donald
48:12
Speaker 1: Trump just said yesterday the clock is ticking. His words,
48:15
Speaker 1: I know that sounds has a familiar ring to it.
48:18
Speaker 1: He also pointed out that in his words, there won't
48:20
Speaker 1: be anything left of them, referring to the Iranian leaders
48:23
Speaker 1: if they, in his words, don't get moving fast all
48:28
Speaker 1: caps with the Trump social media posts fast. In the meantime,
48:32
Speaker 1: Brent crude futures are what do you think up or down?
48:35
Speaker 1: After the United Arabmber It's got a hit with a
48:37
Speaker 1: drone attack over the weekend. A nuclear power plant apparently
48:40
Speaker 1: hit a generator over there. Brent Krude up dollar fifty
48:44
Speaker 1: roughly today up to one hundred and ten of barrel
48:48
Speaker 1: along with Change West Texas Intermediate crewed up to one
48:52
Speaker 1: hundred and seven and Change it's a dollar eighty four. Anyway,
48:58
Speaker 1: this is the highest level it's been May fourth, So
49:01
Speaker 1: swirling concerns. And I saw an op ed piece in
49:04
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal some military analysts who said, you know,
49:08
Speaker 1: it's time to take the gloves off and just start
49:10
Speaker 1: pounding the Iranian infrastructure, so that may be next. And
49:15
Speaker 1: I thought this was rather I actually laugh when I
49:18
Speaker 1: saw this, because you know what protection money is, right,
49:21
Speaker 1: The mob shows up at your business and says you
49:23
Speaker 1: need to pay us to protect you from the bad
49:25
Speaker 1: people out of the world. And of course the bad
49:27
Speaker 1: people you're paying and protect them from is of course
49:29
Speaker 1: the mobsters, because if you don't pay them, they're going
49:31
Speaker 1: to well do damage to you or your business are both.
49:36
Speaker 1: So what do we got going on right now? Horror
49:39
Speaker 1: moves safe Core to your audience. In far As News Agency,
49:45
Speaker 1: the Ministry of the Economy is advancing a plan that
49:47
Speaker 1: will make the management of the Straight of Horror Moves
49:49
Speaker 1: possible through insurance. They say it's a model that will
49:54
Speaker 1: be acceptable to other countries during peacetime while still allowing
49:58
Speaker 1: Iran to exercise control of the Strait. Insurance from international
50:05
Speaker 1: law perspective. While imposing tolls on ships in the post
50:08
Speaker 1: war period may be possible, it would carry political costs,
50:11
Speaker 1: they wrote in Farce. Management of the Strait would then
50:14
Speaker 1: be limited to selling services, which under the best circumstances,
50:17
Speaker 1: would generate up to two billion dollars in revenue for Iran.
50:23
Speaker 1: They say managing the Straight through an insurance framework would
50:26
Speaker 1: enable the issuance of various marine insurance policies as well
50:29
Speaker 1: as certificates of financial responsibility. So the Iranians are offering
50:34
Speaker 1: a new form of insurance and that will be boat insurance.
50:37
Speaker 1: That insures then that you can get through the Straight
50:38
Speaker 1: of Horror moves. Why might the ships not get through
50:42
Speaker 1: the Strait of Horror moves because the Iranian blockade and
50:47
Speaker 1: the mines And you tell me if you think this
50:51
Speaker 1: is related, because oh, look what seems to be a
50:53
Speaker 1: corollary story. Overnight last Thursday, the Iranians a lot of
51:00
Speaker 1: approximately thirty ships, including Chinese linked vessels, through the Strait
51:05
Speaker 1: of Horror moves under what Tehran described as, in their words,
51:09
Speaker 1: Iranian managed transit protocols to these thirty ships by Iranian
51:14
Speaker 1: insurance policies, giving them and patting their economy a little bit,
51:18
Speaker 1: don't no. Iranian officials said the transits were conducted in
51:21
Speaker 1: close coordination with China and under security procedure established by
51:27
Speaker 1: Tehran after Iran effectively asserted control over the Strait. This's
51:30
Speaker 1: after the outbreak of the war. According to the Taznim
51:33
Speaker 1: news agency, which is this Iranian affiliated news agency, reflected
51:37
Speaker 1: a strategic partnership between Tehran and Beijing. Iranian military officials
51:44
Speaker 1: emphasized and that the access to the strip remains contingent
51:47
Speaker 1: on Iranian approval. So Donald Trump's over there negotiating with
51:51
Speaker 1: Jijin Ping, and he, by all accounts came out talking
51:53
Speaker 1: about what a great deal it was and said the
51:56
Speaker 1: Chinese wouldn't be helping the Iranians militarily. I guess in
52:00
Speaker 1: suggesting perhaps they wouldn't be funding or providing arms to
52:03
Speaker 1: the Iranians, but maybe it's money. So while we are
52:11
Speaker 1: enjoying what is at least by one side of the
52:13
Speaker 1: equation of decent relationship with China, after the negotiations and
52:18
Speaker 1: the sit down, apparently the Iranians are making some head
52:20
Speaker 1: roads and headways with China as well. So are the
52:27
Speaker 1: Chinese paying protection money to the Iranians or they have
52:31
Speaker 1: something else brewing about. Anyway, at least some boats are
52:34
Speaker 1: getting through. We're gonna talk about that with money. Money's
52:36
Speaker 1: Brian James, with the price of everything going through the
52:38
Speaker 1: roof of course, of course is a consequence of this.
52:41
Speaker 1: And apparently the world is buying the hell out of
52:45
Speaker 1: our oil and our gasoline and our diesels so much
52:48
Speaker 1: so that yes, it's causing the price of our own
52:50
Speaker 1: stocks to go up. So success on the global market
52:53
Speaker 1: with energy is having a ripple effect that you and
52:55
Speaker 1: I are still paying outrageous amounts of money for gasoline.
53:00
Speaker 1: It's very complicated, and it looks like it's only going
53:02
Speaker 1: to get worse. Your thoughts in comments and if you're
53:05
Speaker 1: if you're in the Commonwealth and you're kind of considering
53:07
Speaker 1: the Massy gowering, but I'd love to hear what's on
53:09
Speaker 1: your mind on that one. It's a squeaker at least
53:11
Speaker 1: as of the most recent polling. And of course tomorrow's
53:14
Speaker 1: the big day. Six forty five right now, fifty five
53:15
Speaker 1: KC detalk station, Bud Herbert Motors. Those are the folks
53:18
Speaker 1: you need to call the Herbert family when you call
53:20
Speaker 1: Bud Herbert Motors to talk about lawn equipment. And that's
53:23
Speaker 1: commercial lawn equipment, it's residential lawn equipment, and it's both
53:26
Speaker 1: new and used. They have a huge selection of both,
53:28
Speaker 1: and it's only the best brands out there. Bud Herbert Motors,
53:31
Speaker 1: you're a C deep talk station. It is six point fifty,
53:37
Speaker 1: it is Monday. It stating the obvious. That means Christopher Smith.
53:40
Speaker 1: It's coming up at twenty minutes after the top of
53:41
Speaker 1: the next hour, and we'll hear from Brian James Monday,
53:44
Speaker 1: Monday at eight oh five. Yeah, we'll talk about inflation
53:47
Speaker 1: and the Wall Street's newest artificial intelligence obsession. Finally, prediction
53:51
Speaker 1: markets and popularity to those prediction markets growing. It's just
53:54
Speaker 1: bet on literally anything. Joe, have you ever used the
53:56
Speaker 1: prediction market gambling ever?
53:59
Speaker 2: Now?
53:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, neither of I just typically don't gamble, but and
54:03
Speaker 1: the one prediction market, of course, given that the fact
54:05
Speaker 1: that the primary is tomorrow for my friends in the Commonwealth,
54:07
Speaker 1: prediction market is leaning Gollrain over Massy, although the most
54:12
Speaker 1: recent pulling on that shows it is a real squeaker. Anyhow,
54:15
Speaker 1: I'm hoping people will just I don't know part of
54:17
Speaker 1: me once I listen. I like Trump and don't get
54:19
Speaker 1: me wrong, and I know people, oh youtid Trump, I
54:22
Speaker 1: am not kind of feel like Massy. Look, I'm with
54:24
Speaker 1: Trump ninety percent of the time. Sometimes I vote against
54:26
Speaker 1: him because well, I don't think he has the interest
54:28
Speaker 1: of my constituents here. Oh right, fair enough, But this
54:34
Speaker 1: anger and the name calling in these outbreaks, calling him
54:41
Speaker 1: a loser, among an other seemingly endless list of just
54:49
Speaker 1: criticisms of Congress from Massy. For a handful of reasons,
54:53
Speaker 1: I keep going to the fact that Donald Trump campaign
54:55
Speaker 1: on a lot of things that Congress from Massy has
54:57
Speaker 1: always pushed for and stuck to his guns over, yes,
55:00
Speaker 1: including not funding any four and eight. He's been on
55:03
Speaker 1: that for a long time. Of course, the Epstein files
55:05
Speaker 1: is another one that's a suspicious one hundred and eighty
55:07
Speaker 1: degrees from Trump on that, and I'm scratching my head
55:09
Speaker 1: to this day over that. What happened with that? Anyhow,
55:13
Speaker 1: see what Bobby's got before we move on, Bobby, Welcome
55:15
Speaker 1: to the Morning Show. Happy Monday to you, sir, Hey, Happy.
55:18
Speaker 5: Monday, Brian Faith Flag family, and always take the over.
55:22
Speaker 1: Yes, the over apparently is what you called it at
55:25
Speaker 1: three point five on Friday. Of course, the ovary or
55:27
Speaker 1: the under and over refers to the number of people
55:29
Speaker 1: that are victims of violent crime here in this greater
55:31
Speaker 1: Cincinnati area, and it looks like, yeah, there were more
55:34
Speaker 1: than three and a half.
55:35
Speaker 5: Bobby, I'd like to give you a little seventy two
55:39
Speaker 5: our window of opportunity. We'll have boots on the ground
55:43
Speaker 5: in less than seventy two hours. The eighty second Airborne
55:47
Speaker 5: doesn't jump like the one oh one does, so they're
55:50
Speaker 5: going to be set and hold positions that will happen
55:53
Speaker 5: within the next seventy two hours, probably by Wednesday morning.
55:57
Speaker 1: So my suspicions about well, then Trump's meeting in the
56:01
Speaker 1: war room tomorrow to talk about this, but my suspicions
56:03
Speaker 1: that this again we have seemingly another line in the sand.
56:08
Speaker 1: The clock is ticking. There will be nothing left of
56:11
Speaker 1: the Iranian leadership if they don't get moving fast. So
56:13
Speaker 1: is he going to make good on military operations? Bobby?
56:17
Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying within seventy two.
56:18
Speaker 5: Hours they've already been deployed.
56:22
Speaker 1: Well, I mean we've had troops in the area for
56:24
Speaker 1: well since the beginning. I mean they've been growing in
56:27
Speaker 1: ever larger numbers for quite some time.
56:29
Speaker 8: Now.
56:29
Speaker 1: The question is when will they be released or sent
56:33
Speaker 1: into battle.
56:34
Speaker 5: The eighty six and Airborne will be the first boots
56:37
Speaker 5: on the ground within the next seventy two hours. They
56:40
Speaker 5: are going to be set and hold positions. That's what
56:42
Speaker 5: they're deployments to.
56:44
Speaker 1: Okay, and I see going back to a caller who
56:46
Speaker 1: was angry with me earlier. Now, Bobby, is it upon
56:51
Speaker 1: what are you predicating your predictions? You are very firm
56:54
Speaker 1: in your convictions that is going to happen within seventy
56:57
Speaker 1: two hours. What do you based on on just the
56:58
Speaker 1: mere presence of the eighty second?
57:01
Speaker 5: Oh, I know, no individuals or no individuals. We're like
57:05
Speaker 5: blades of grass, my friend.
57:08
Speaker 1: Okay, and see, I hear you, And it's not like
57:12
Speaker 1: you've been wrong a lot here on the morning show Bobby,
57:14
Speaker 1: like other people. But you know, I need a little
57:16
Speaker 1: bit more than this guy. I heard from a friend
57:19
Speaker 1: from a friend that led me to conclude that I'm
57:22
Speaker 1: right on what I say today just because Bobby says
57:24
Speaker 1: it or someone says it out in the world. Right,
57:26
Speaker 1: whatever you read on the internet is true, said Abraham Lincoln.
57:29
Speaker 1: You know, I just tend to have a little bit
57:31
Speaker 1: more reservation about drawing conclusions and definitive projections. I'm not
57:35
Speaker 1: saying you're wrong. I'm saying my popcorn is out, and
57:38
Speaker 1: I don't have any information upon which to draw ultimate
57:40
Speaker 1: conclusions on that. So speaking to those out here who
57:43
Speaker 1: will yell let me down the road for something I
57:45
Speaker 1: didn't predict ahead.
57:45
Speaker 5: Of time, we'll check it out hump day.
57:49
Speaker 1: Check it out on hump Day. The predictions made much
57:51
Speaker 1: like the over and under on Friday. I guess you
57:55
Speaker 1: heard it here first on the fifty five KRC Morning
57:57
Speaker 1: Show anyway, and going real quick here because I mentioned
58:01
Speaker 1: it earlier. See I'm right one prediction I did go
58:05
Speaker 1: out on a limbon implausibility of the COVID night or
58:07
Speaker 1: of the carbon dioxide killing the planet. Yes, the inner government,
58:11
Speaker 1: inner Governmental Panel on Climate Change said their own computer model,
58:15
Speaker 1: which everybody seems to have been relying on for the
58:17
Speaker 1: past fifteen to twenty years in reaching these crazy conclusions
58:21
Speaker 1: like al Gore, for example, we're all gonna drown from
58:24
Speaker 1: the sea levels rising, We're all gonna burn up or whatever. Yeah,
58:28
Speaker 1: anything they've connected with carbon dioxide increases. Sorry, the scenarios
58:33
Speaker 1: that were painted in our CP eight point five upon
58:35
Speaker 1: which everyone believed and was relying upon, are not plausible. Plausible,
58:41
Speaker 1: So let's get the word out on that one six
58:44
Speaker 1: fifty five right now. But if I have care to
58:45
Speaker 1: see the dog station coming up. Christopher smitham and at
58:48
Speaker 1: seven twenty we got some time to talk between now
58:50
Speaker 1: and then. I welcome to the phone calls. If you
58:51
Speaker 1: care to call, look forward to hearing from me. I'll
58:53
Speaker 1: be right back the iHeartRadio app. It's where we put
58:56
Speaker 1: Fox station seven oh six here at fifty five ker
59:15
Speaker 1: CD talk station. Brian Thomas wishing every one a very
59:18
Speaker 1: happy Monday, and an invitation to stick around for another
59:21
Speaker 1: ten minutes. And Christopher Smithman joins a program at seven
59:23
Speaker 1: twenty here in the morning show for the Smither event.
59:26
Speaker 1: And we had a lot of crime over the weekend,
59:27
Speaker 1: sad sad thing, and well, with the heat heating up
59:31
Speaker 1: and the summer on the way, we're rolling on the
59:32
Speaker 1: front end of it, and that's really troubling for me,
59:34
Speaker 1: and I hope there's something we can all collectively do
59:36
Speaker 1: about it. But I know Christopher's going to have a
59:38
Speaker 1: thing or two to say maybe about that. We'll learn
59:40
Speaker 1: together at seven to twenty. Fast forward one hour Money
59:42
Speaker 1: Money with Brian James. Yes, everything's getting more expensive. Price
59:44
Speaker 1: increases in oil resulting in price increases in beef, vegetables,
59:48
Speaker 1: fertilizers become a real problem. It's planning season and there's
59:51
Speaker 1: a lot of concern over crop output. Wall Street Journal's
59:55
Speaker 1: newest AI obsession Topic two with Brian James and prediction
59:58
Speaker 1: markets here and their popularity is growing. Of course, every
1:00:01
Speaker 1: time I saw that as a topic, I did see
1:00:03
Speaker 1: the prediction markets for the gall Rain Massy race. What
1:00:06
Speaker 1: do you think about Hegzeth' showing up in campaigning for
1:00:09
Speaker 1: ed Gallrain. I just find it suspicious that the man
1:00:12
Speaker 1: refuses to dinner into a debate, just running a Joe
1:00:15
Speaker 1: Biden like campaign from his basement, and I don't like
1:00:17
Speaker 1: that personally. Then again, or oh I know are coming
1:00:21
Speaker 1: the air Joe, Well, he had six six invitations eating here.
1:00:27
Speaker 1: You didn't hear a peep out of me, and they
1:00:28
Speaker 1: didn't say no, They just ignored your calls. Right, Okay,
1:00:30
Speaker 1: we want to make sure I'm clear on that. So
1:00:32
Speaker 1: there you have it. Tomorrow's the big day for my
1:00:34
Speaker 1: friends in the Commonwealth and everyone is our eyes on that.
1:00:37
Speaker 1: The most expensive race in congressional history, and a whole
1:00:41
Speaker 1: lot of money flowing in. And I thought it was
1:00:44
Speaker 1: really interesting the fun facts I read it. Hold on
1:00:46
Speaker 1: one second, Dan, I'm gonna get your call. The amount
1:00:48
Speaker 1: of money that has come in from the pro Jewish
1:00:50
Speaker 1: coalitions just reported. I saw it over on zero Hedge.
1:00:53
Speaker 1: The figures are in the Republic Jewish Republican Jewish Coalition
1:00:57
Speaker 1: threw in four hundred and seventy thousand dollars. I guess
1:00:59
Speaker 1: it was last week. I had to make an announcement
1:01:00
Speaker 1: about it. United Demo Democracy Project project affiliated with the
1:01:05
Speaker 1: American Israel Public Affairs Committee A packed through nine hundred
1:01:09
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars in an initial spending as of
1:01:12
Speaker 1: last week in the MAGA Kentucky pack, which was created
1:01:15
Speaker 1: by people described as non Kentuckian Jewish billionaires people named
1:01:19
Speaker 1: Miriam Addelson, Paul Singer, and John Paulson through one point
1:01:24
Speaker 1: six million of their money in the race since May seventh.
1:01:27
Speaker 1: So we're total of thirty two plus million dollars for
1:01:31
Speaker 1: one congressional seat. Joey, don't they make one hundred and
1:01:34
Speaker 1: seventy five a year? Amazing? You have more than five
1:01:38
Speaker 1: hundred of them, and you have the saddest part about this,
1:01:41
Speaker 1: And I apologize, Dan, it's got to get this out
1:01:43
Speaker 1: of my system. Here, this money, thirty two million dollars
1:01:49
Speaker 1: is a primary fight between two people running for the
1:01:52
Speaker 1: Republican seat. No kidding, Paulmas. Once you do some more
1:01:55
Speaker 1: man's blaming, that's thirty two million dollars that could have
1:01:58
Speaker 1: gone to the general election to try to secure the
1:02:00
Speaker 1: seat for whatever Republican goes in there. Money influence and
1:02:05
Speaker 1: to the idea that you think this find he paid
1:02:07
Speaker 1: hush money to this former girlfriend. His read the story
1:02:10
Speaker 1: behind it and you realize though the timing is way
1:02:13
Speaker 1: off for that have been hush money, lies, lies and
1:02:17
Speaker 1: damn lies. Dan, thank you for holding there, and welcome
1:02:19
Speaker 1: to the fifty five KC Morning Show.
1:02:21
Speaker 10: Yeah, sure, Brian, on the RCP eight point five, there's
1:02:24
Speaker 10: a nuance and what you're saying is correct. But the
1:02:28
Speaker 10: nuance is in that document, the IPCC that is on
1:02:33
Speaker 10: the internet. On there for probably three or four years,
1:02:37
Speaker 10: there were actually one thousand scenarios approximately done, and the
1:02:44
Speaker 10: IPCC picked five scenarios. One in the middle, two higher
1:02:49
Speaker 10: and this is as far as putty more co, two
1:02:52
Speaker 10: in the atmosphere, and then two less. Now our CPA
1:02:55
Speaker 10: point five was the very high. And that assumed that
1:02:58
Speaker 10: every generator in the world was running nothing but coal.
1:03:02
Speaker 5: Nothing but coal.
1:03:03
Speaker 10: That's unbelievable. And there are a couple of countries that said, hey,
1:03:07
Speaker 10: what's pick this one because it'll drive our policy, so
1:03:10
Speaker 10: we'll do more than we need to do, right And
1:03:13
Speaker 10: as a result, and the countries are the top of
1:03:16
Speaker 10: my head, UK went for it, the Netherlands, and you
1:03:20
Speaker 10: know who the other big one was, the real, real
1:03:22
Speaker 10: big one who went for the one hundred percent coal
1:03:25
Speaker 10: burning and based our policy on was the United States
1:03:27
Speaker 10: of America. I teach a class and I've been pointing
1:03:30
Speaker 10: that out for three years. It's in the IPC what
1:03:32
Speaker 10: I just said, and yet it was completely ignored by
1:03:37
Speaker 10: the press. The IPCC document, it's rather long, like five
1:03:41
Speaker 10: hundred pages. Exactually quite good, but nobody reads it. And
1:03:45
Speaker 10: that's a shame because we've wasted all this. We've been
1:03:47
Speaker 10: so distorted trying to do an unimplausible that is correct,
1:03:51
Speaker 10: that was in the news, and it was always implausible,
1:03:55
Speaker 10: but our press completely let us down on that. All
1:03:58
Speaker 10: I had to do was say, hey, well, this is
1:04:01
Speaker 10: what it is. I'm confident Americans would have made the
1:04:04
Speaker 10: right decisions, but we the American public was never told.
1:04:07
Speaker 1: They were because Dan, what I'm what I'm hearing from
1:04:10
Speaker 1: you is what I suspected. They looked at the various
1:04:12
Speaker 1: different scenarios, kind of like looking at a lab leakue
1:04:15
Speaker 1: scenario versus something happened in nature snare, and then deriving
1:04:18
Speaker 1: some sort of estimates based on which is most likely.
1:04:21
Speaker 1: They went with some conservative climate change predictions to some
1:04:25
Speaker 1: really radical ones, and the mainstream media and the leftist
1:04:28
Speaker 1: pressed and everybody who wants the most radical scenario, that's
1:04:31
Speaker 1: the one they put out in the paper and reported
1:04:32
Speaker 1: to everybody the one in the way in federal policy.
1:04:35
Speaker 10: And so you've had the Executive Office they based every
1:04:40
Speaker 10: day said look right, look at here right here.
1:04:42
Speaker 2: We have to do this. We have no choice.
1:04:44
Speaker 10: Now, I will say, we do have a problem. The
1:04:46
Speaker 10: CEO two concentration is higher now and it's been at
1:04:50
Speaker 10: at this point of the long climate cycles. You think
1:04:54
Speaker 10: about ice ages. So we need to do something about it.
1:04:57
Speaker 2: But we can.
1:04:58
Speaker 10: But the way to do it is not too work
1:05:00
Speaker 10: off information that is misu explained and force us to
1:05:06
Speaker 10: do all kinds of things that are just throwing money
1:05:08
Speaker 10: into the air. Let's focus on the problem. But we
1:05:11
Speaker 10: can reduce COEO two. We need to for ourselves and
1:05:14
Speaker 10: our grandkids. So let's work on that and stop this blogey.
1:05:18
Speaker 10: And guess what, who got all the money? Where there
1:05:20
Speaker 10: are a lot of nonprofits out there that got money
1:05:23
Speaker 10: and to push I mean, it was just insiduous. And
1:05:26
Speaker 10: I'm glad to hear that there's at least a glimmer
1:05:30
Speaker 10: of thought that we can get back and focus on
1:05:32
Speaker 10: the problem, which we do have too much CO two
1:05:35
Speaker 10: in the atmosphere, just too much, that's all. And we
1:05:38
Speaker 10: have reduced our rate of COE two tremendously in our country.
1:05:42
Speaker 10: We tended it by putting natural gas in because we
1:05:45
Speaker 10: could do that relatively quickly, and that reduced greatly. The
1:05:49
Speaker 10: amount of Coel two has been going in and we
1:05:51
Speaker 10: still got some work to do and we can do it.
1:05:53
Speaker 1: And nuclear is are great Sow there you go, Dan,
1:05:55
Speaker 1: you knew I was going to bring that up.
1:05:58
Speaker 2: Well, you know, And I will tell you that the.
1:06:02
Speaker 10: The waste of nuclear I will tell you that the radiation,
1:06:08
Speaker 10: it's problems that have been talked about. That's another discussion,
1:06:12
Speaker 10: but you have been largely effaced. And a nuclear is
1:06:17
Speaker 10: a very strong way to go. And why that was demonized, Uh,
1:06:21
Speaker 10: it's just a that's a crime. A lot of people
1:06:24
Speaker 10: have died.
1:06:25
Speaker 5: And I'll tell you why.
1:06:26
Speaker 10: The safest power possible are two things as far as
1:06:30
Speaker 10: killing people are nuclear and solar panels. They're the safest, okay,
1:06:35
Speaker 10: And yet we're not doing nuclear. We're shutting them down
1:06:38
Speaker 10: and it's completely ridiculous.
1:06:41
Speaker 2: And uh.
1:06:44
Speaker 10: And that is not based on facts. And I'll do
1:06:46
Speaker 10: what I just gave you as the facts.
1:06:48
Speaker 1: Mind, I hear you. I concur with you. Although we
1:06:51
Speaker 1: exceptional the whole thing, we have too much to you too.
1:06:52
Speaker 1: I don't know what quote unquote too much is. I mean,
1:06:55
Speaker 1: they've done I'll tell you what.
1:06:56
Speaker 10: I'll tell you what it is okay, Uh you think
1:06:59
Speaker 10: about I say, as those can be thirty forty thousand
1:07:02
Speaker 10: years to hang on. Okay, But we had data going
1:07:05
Speaker 10: back for eight ten ice ages, and what it is,
1:07:09
Speaker 10: here's the whole point. We are at this point during
1:07:12
Speaker 10: our cycle of ice ages, and you're talking about thirty
1:07:15
Speaker 10: thousand years, Brian. We have a higher percentage of CO
1:07:18
Speaker 10: two in the atmosphere during this stage that we are
1:07:21
Speaker 10: in today. Okay, And so for the last eight to
1:07:24
Speaker 10: nine ten ice ages we haven't had this much CO
1:07:28
Speaker 10: two in the atmosphere percentage wise as we have today.
1:07:31
Speaker 10: So really nobody knows if it's a problem, but it's.
1:07:34
Speaker 2: In an experiment.
1:07:35
Speaker 10: We're living with an experiment, and I think it's reasonable
1:07:38
Speaker 10: to say, hey, do we really want to take a chance,
1:07:40
Speaker 10: what's what's where? What's peck away this CO two? For
1:07:44
Speaker 10: what's peck away at it?
1:07:45
Speaker 2: Just to be sure?
1:07:46
Speaker 1: Wait, wait real quick, I got before Dan, since we're
1:07:49
Speaker 1: on a time, I got to ask this question. So
1:07:51
Speaker 1: when the last ice age kicked in, there was less.
1:07:55
Speaker 2: CO two in the at this part of the side.
1:07:58
Speaker 1: Wait a second, is that to suggest that the CO
1:08:00
Speaker 1: two in the environment, which is more than the last
1:08:02
Speaker 1: ice age is preventing us from another ice age.
1:08:06
Speaker 10: I that would be many PhDs.
1:08:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean it seems logical based upon what
1:08:12
Speaker 1: you're saying, and what's what's worse extra plant food and
1:08:15
Speaker 1: a greener world, or another ice age where the entire
1:08:19
Speaker 1: state of Ohio is under a slab of ice. You
1:08:21
Speaker 1: can't grow corn and ice anyway. Quick observation, because we

1:09:28
Speaker 2: And I think Seton has been been a great school

1:09:38
Speaker 2: that for her and my family. So Seaton is a
1:09:40
Speaker 2: great school. I hope to continue to stay involved with it.
1:09:45
Speaker 2: Let me, let me, let me say this to you, brother.
1:09:50
Speaker 2: I want to start by just making this statement. One
1:09:53
Speaker 2: is I happened to be a black American, okay and right,
1:10:02
Speaker 2: And I've been listening to you know, all news outlets
1:10:05
Speaker 2: over the weekend and they are just pronouncing, like very boldly,
1:10:11
Speaker 2: black Americans are victims. You are a victim. You're a
1:10:15
Speaker 2: victim of your circumstance. You're a victim because of this.
1:10:19
Speaker 2: You know, I'm sitting back going if black Americans are
1:10:22
Speaker 2: listening to me right now, I just want to tell them.
1:10:25
Speaker 2: If that's all the Democratic Party has to offer, right,
1:10:29
Speaker 2: subjecting you to this status that you're a victim and
1:10:33
Speaker 2: that somewhere somebody out there owes you something right, you'll
1:10:37
Speaker 2: be chasing the tale of that dog the rest of
1:10:40
Speaker 2: your life. And it makes absolutely no sense other than
1:10:44
Speaker 2: it keeps the Democrats in power. It has them saying
1:10:49
Speaker 2: I'm subjugating a group of people into this place that
1:10:53
Speaker 2: in their mind they believe they can't go any further
1:10:56
Speaker 2: or any more whatever the word is, than their circus.
1:11:01
Speaker 2: It's scary, dude. I was watching this all over the country,
1:11:04
Speaker 2: these different rallies that were happening, you know, talking about man,
1:11:08
Speaker 2: they want us to have an ID. If we have
1:11:11
Speaker 2: an ID, it's going to impact me and my ability
1:11:13
Speaker 2: to vote. They're trying to take away. Having identification is
1:11:18
Speaker 2: not Jim crow. And I don't care how many times
1:11:22
Speaker 2: Senator Schumer says it, it doesn't make it any more true. Right.
1:11:27
Speaker 2: You cannot even buy cold medicine without identification. So I
1:11:32
Speaker 2: don't know who they're talking about when they're talking about
1:11:36
Speaker 2: black Americans. I don't know any Black Americans walking around
1:11:39
Speaker 2: without identification, without a state ID, without a driver's license
1:11:43
Speaker 2: without something that says this is who I am. And
1:11:47
Speaker 2: so it's this notion that they're trying to really push
1:11:50
Speaker 2: a different agenda, which I don't mind talking about, but
1:11:53
Speaker 2: they're using Black Americans to do it, and they're they're
1:11:57
Speaker 2: putting trying to put us in a mindset that somebody's
1:12:00
Speaker 2: trying to take something from us because they want us
1:12:03
Speaker 2: to have identification, which we already have. Just look at
1:12:07
Speaker 2: your wallet. If you're a Black American and you're listening
1:12:10
Speaker 2: to me and you don't believe what I'm saying, you're
1:12:12
Speaker 2: driving your car, Just look in your wallet. You have
1:12:15
Speaker 2: an ID that doesn't stop you from voting. With the
1:12:18
Speaker 2: Save Act, it says if you're not an American and
1:12:21
Speaker 2: you don't have an identification and you're trying to vote
1:12:24
Speaker 2: in our election, we can tell you no. But that
1:12:28
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with Black Americans that I'm gonna
1:12:30
Speaker 2: tell you you. I heard that all weekend. Black Americans,
1:12:34
Speaker 2: you're a victim. You're a victim of your circumstance. Somebody's
1:12:37
Speaker 2: trying to do something to you, somebody's trying to take
1:12:40
Speaker 2: something away from you. And I'm reaching out right now
1:12:43
Speaker 2: on this call to you to black Americans, specifically saying,
1:12:47
Speaker 2: as we move through the election this year, at least
1:12:50
Speaker 2: reject that you're not a victim.
1:12:53
Speaker 1: No, and you know the other point of this, And
1:12:55
Speaker 1: I've been making it for years, Christopher, and you've joined
1:12:57
Speaker 1: me and making a point. Isn't it insulting that the
1:13:02
Speaker 1: left they left, is telling an entire group of people,
1:13:05
Speaker 1: based upon the color of their skin, that they're incapable
1:13:08
Speaker 1: of doing something that not only have they already done,
1:13:10
Speaker 1: but that is so simple to achieve that they effectively
1:13:13
Speaker 1: label the entire black community a bunch of morons. Christopher,
1:13:17
Speaker 1: aren't you personally insulted by that?
1:13:20
Speaker 10: Correct?
1:13:21
Speaker 2: Yeah?
1:13:21
Speaker 1: I know, I know, man, I don't know why that
1:13:23
Speaker 1: that message, the point I just made that you have
1:13:25
Speaker 1: made before, it doesn't resonate more, It doesn't discuss more.
1:13:27
Speaker 1: When these idiots come on and keep talking about how
1:13:29
Speaker 1: dumb the American black people are, this is.
1:13:32
Speaker 2: Nothing to new. We can't do. This was all weekend.
1:13:36
Speaker 2: There were rallies around this stuff. The Supreme Court's decision,
1:13:39
Speaker 2: which I'll talk about in the next break, but this
1:13:42
Speaker 2: notion that you have to have a specific district in
1:13:45
Speaker 2: order to elect a specific race, and the Supreme Court
1:13:49
Speaker 2: has struck it down. So now you want to rally
1:13:52
Speaker 2: around that and say somebody's taking something away from me. Look,
1:13:56
Speaker 2: I just saw Mika Owens come out of a primary
1:14:00
Speaker 2: in a county, Hamilton County. One million people can participate.
1:14:05
Speaker 2: That's about what we have as far as our population
1:14:07
Speaker 2: in our county. This is a black American, she running
1:14:11
Speaker 2: against another black American. She just came out of that primary,
1:14:15
Speaker 2: and now she's gonna run county wide. She's not in
1:14:18
Speaker 2: the district. Mika Owens is running county wide for Hamilton
1:14:22
Speaker 2: County Prosecutor. And if she wins, the bottom line is,
1:14:27
Speaker 2: why are we talking about a district that has to
1:14:29
Speaker 2: be black When Mika Owens, council member, Mika Owens, respectfully
1:14:34
Speaker 2: and her title, who's now running for county commissioner for
1:14:37
Speaker 2: the entire county. And if he loses, she doesn't lose
1:14:41
Speaker 2: because she was a black American. If she loses, it's
1:14:44
Speaker 2: because she didn't have the right message for Hamilton County voters.
1:14:47
Speaker 2: Maybe right, And so this notion that you have to
1:14:51
Speaker 2: have this land mask that is carved out and that's
1:14:54
Speaker 2: what the Supreme Court now, by the way, two hundred
1:14:57
Speaker 2: years ago, one hundred years ago, that was true. What
1:15:01
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court is saying now it's not true. And
1:15:04
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you all weekend I couldn't listen to it.
1:15:08
Speaker 2: I kept turning. I go, I'm gonna listen to it
1:15:10
Speaker 2: for another five minutes, and I was listening, like and
1:15:12
Speaker 2: I go, let me take it. I'm like, this person
1:15:15
Speaker 2: is on my TV telling me that I am a
1:15:17
Speaker 2: victim and I can't go any further than my victimhood.
1:15:23
Speaker 2: That's where I am. That's where I'm subjugated for the
1:15:25
Speaker 2: rest of my life politically, economically, and socially. And I'm
1:15:29
Speaker 2: just telling everybody Black Americans who are running around saying
1:15:34
Speaker 2: they're Democrats. If that's all your party has to offer you,
1:15:39
Speaker 2: I suggest you look for a new party.
1:15:41
Speaker 1: Period. End of story, full stop, exclamation point, bold and underscore.
1:15:45
Speaker 1: Will continue with Christopher smith and we don't go away
1:15:47
Speaker 1: after a talk station. It is seven thirty three fifty
1:15:54
Speaker 1: five Kercity talk station, right time with a Christopher Smithman
1:15:57
Speaker 1: in the middle of the well smither Van. Christopher Smithman, continue,
1:16:01
Speaker 1: my friend, I truly appreciate what you had to say
1:16:03
Speaker 1: in the last segment.
1:16:05
Speaker 2: Look, brother, my family they're from the South. When I
1:16:08
Speaker 2: say they're from the South, we're talking. My father was
1:16:11
Speaker 2: from Birmingham, Alabama. His father was a Baptist minister. He
1:16:16
Speaker 2: was an only child, and my mother was from Montgomery, Alabama,
1:16:21
Speaker 2: and they met at Tuskegee. My grandfather, or my mother's side,
1:16:25
Speaker 2: was a farmer, and as I indicated, my father's was
1:16:29
Speaker 2: a Baptist minister. Now, look, my family in the South
1:16:33
Speaker 2: had to deal with Democrat Jim Crow, right, the Dixiecrats yep,
1:16:40
Speaker 2: and Jim Crow right. So the people understand it is
1:16:45
Speaker 2: I'm telling Black Americans that they have to do something
1:16:50
Speaker 2: different than white Americans. So when I go vote, there's
1:16:54
Speaker 2: a poll tax because I'm a Black American, I have
1:16:58
Speaker 2: to bring special identification because I'm a Black American. But
1:17:01
Speaker 2: the white American in the South doesn't have to do that.
1:17:05
Speaker 2: That is Jim Crow.
1:17:06
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:17:06
Speaker 2: What the Save Act does. It says everybody's on the
1:17:10
Speaker 2: same playing field. Every American has to come with the
1:17:14
Speaker 2: same identification. That is not Jim Crow. And Senator Schumer
1:17:21
Speaker 2: keeps trying to connect the dots of the Dixiecrats of
1:17:25
Speaker 2: his party in the South as they engaged in Jim
1:17:28
Speaker 2: Crow in the discussion. We're trying to have of fair
1:17:32
Speaker 2: and balanced elections in America that require everybody who comes there,
1:17:38
Speaker 2: whether they're black, White, Latito, or Asian an American, has
1:17:41
Speaker 2: to show the identification. And I just want to be
1:17:44
Speaker 2: clear with everybody that that is not Jim Crow.
1:17:46
Speaker 1: It isn't. Then you know he's just he's money in
1:17:48
Speaker 1: the water because he can't say the quiet part out loud.
1:17:52
Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with the historic treatment of
1:17:54
Speaker 1: black people under Jim Crow in the United States of America,
1:17:56
Speaker 1: as appalling as that was, this is not about that.
1:17:59
Speaker 1: This is about him wanting really easy voting laws on
1:18:02
Speaker 1: the books to allow people to vote without identification so
1:18:05
Speaker 1: the illegal immigrant population can cast votes. I mean, that's
1:18:09
Speaker 1: ust this is he is.
1:18:11
Speaker 2: But let me finish that. Let me finish that, brother.
1:18:13
Speaker 2: Let me finish that by using Black Americans to get
1:18:17
Speaker 2: to that agenda. Yes, by using us emotionally to get
1:18:21
Speaker 2: to that agenda. Yes, he doesn't really care about it,
1:18:25
Speaker 2: So finishing it is. Who is he going to use?
1:18:27
Speaker 2: He goes to what he calls his democratic base and says,
1:18:31
Speaker 2: somebody is doing something to you with this victim mentality,
1:18:35
Speaker 2: and he's not explaining this is Jim Crow two point zero.
1:18:39
Speaker 2: What is he talking about? And by the way, Senator Schumer,
1:18:43
Speaker 2: your party was the party of Jim pro It wasn't
1:18:46
Speaker 2: the Republicans Lincoln right, Sidne the executive of the Executive
1:18:52
Speaker 2: Order for the Emancipation Proclamation. As we move into two
1:18:55
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty years from celebrating, it was the Republicans
1:18:58
Speaker 2: who passed the Fourteenth Amendment abolishing slavery. The Dixiecrats were
1:19:04
Speaker 2: against it, even at the Supreme Court. They talk about
1:19:07
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court being packed. They want to do that
1:19:09
Speaker 2: at the Supreme Court level. It was the Supreme Court
1:19:12
Speaker 2: with the dread Scott case that their dread Scott, You're
1:19:15
Speaker 2: gonna always be a slave. Those were Democrats who were
1:19:21
Speaker 2: a part of the Supreme Court. The Republicans were the
1:19:24
Speaker 2: party of freedom. Ye. Why does it make Democrats so
1:19:28
Speaker 2: angry when I get on the radio and I just
1:19:31
Speaker 2: tell the historical truth. They were the party of racist
1:19:35
Speaker 2: klu Kluk Plan and they were the party of Jim Crow.
1:19:39
Speaker 2: And it drives them nuts. They'll send me, they'll send me,
1:19:42
Speaker 2: text me you just, oh, Simithemann, I just can't believe
1:19:44
Speaker 2: you said that. Well, What did I say that I
1:19:45
Speaker 2: lie about something? Am I communicating something that isn't true?
1:19:49
Speaker 2: It's not I'm saying the Save Act is important to pass.
1:19:53
Speaker 2: And I don't care what side of the apple you're on.
1:19:56
Speaker 2: I don't understand why you don't want an election that's fair.
1:20:00
Speaker 2: I gotta come with ID and telling Black Americans we're
1:20:03
Speaker 2: the ones that we don't have ID, and by the way,
1:20:06
Speaker 2: we don't even know how to get an ID.
1:20:09
Speaker 1: We'll bring Christopher back for one more. He's on a tear.
1:20:12
Speaker 1: He always is on a Monday morning here in the
1:20:13
Speaker 1: fifty five KRSSE morning show Zimmer Heating and Cooling. There
1:20:16
Speaker 1: the trusted name and making Greater Sense of Station seventy
1:20:25
Speaker 1: five ker City Talk Station Brian Simmons with Christopher Smithman
1:20:29
Speaker 1: on quite an event today for the smith a Vent. Christopher,
1:20:32
Speaker 1: you have the floor again. Keep up, keep it up, Man,
1:20:34
Speaker 1: You're doing a great job today. You always listen.
1:20:37
Speaker 2: Listen, brother.
1:20:38
Speaker 5: Here's the why.
1:20:39
Speaker 7: Here's the why.
1:20:40
Speaker 2: This is the scary part. The Democratic Party is tired
1:20:46
Speaker 2: of Black Americans, right, They've used us up. And what
1:20:51
Speaker 2: they're really trying to do is bring in the new
1:20:54
Speaker 2: minority group so that they can pimp them out. So
1:20:59
Speaker 2: the strategy is, let's get everybody's gens up about the ID.
1:21:04
Speaker 2: They're very strategic. This is the psychology of it. Tell
1:21:08
Speaker 2: Black Americans that you're too stupid to get an ID
1:21:12
Speaker 2: and you're driving a car and you got a driver's license.
1:21:14
Speaker 2: In some way, we can't get a state ID to
1:21:17
Speaker 2: participate in an election. But really the move is to
1:21:21
Speaker 2: have people who are illegally in our country participate in
1:21:24
Speaker 2: the process so they gain more power and squeeze out
1:21:27
Speaker 2: Black Americans.
1:21:28
Speaker 1: Ooh, you're tired of us.
1:21:31
Speaker 2: They've used us up and now it's time to move
1:21:35
Speaker 2: on to the next crew. See when you're a pimp
1:21:38
Speaker 2: like the Democratic Party, and that's the only thing you have,
1:21:42
Speaker 2: that's your mindset, right that now they're looking to pimp
1:21:47
Speaker 2: out somebody else and they're just fed up with us.
1:21:52
Speaker 2: And that's the reality of it. And if Black Americans
1:21:55
Speaker 2: don't start standing up and saying I'm a I have
1:21:58
Speaker 2: independent thoughts. We don't as a race have to tie
1:22:02
Speaker 2: ourselves to a party, a political party that we can
1:22:05
Speaker 2: vote for Democrats and Republicans and Independents and Libertarians. We
1:22:09
Speaker 2: can vote for whatever is in the interests of our family,
1:22:13
Speaker 2: whatever that is. And we don't have to say, oh,
1:22:17
Speaker 2: you know, if I'm not black? Would Inviden say? Biden
1:22:20
Speaker 2: says you're not. If you don't vote for me, you're
1:22:22
Speaker 2: not black? Are you crazy? My point is they are
1:22:27
Speaker 2: tired of us, dude, and they're now moving on to
1:22:31
Speaker 2: the next minority group. Is their goal, and they don't
1:22:36
Speaker 2: mind whether they use Black Americans to get to that
1:22:39
Speaker 2: objective or not. And any Black American who's listening to me,
1:22:43
Speaker 2: think about Lendon Johnson, President Lendon Johnson, President Lendon Johnson,
1:22:50
Speaker 2: right of a hardcore Democrat. Just spend your time getting
1:22:56
Speaker 2: your history books and read about Lyndon Johnson, and his
1:23:00
Speaker 2: whole goal was to say what I'm gonna get. He
1:23:02
Speaker 2: didn't say black Americans, he didn't say the negro, he
1:23:05
Speaker 2: didn't say the color, he didn't say the African American.
1:23:08
Speaker 2: I can't say what he did, but he made it
1:23:11
Speaker 2: very clear that he was going to bring in these
1:23:14
Speaker 2: social programs to make sure that black Americans for the
1:23:18
Speaker 2: next two hundred years voted Democrats. That was his objective.
1:23:24
Speaker 2: And I'm asking black Americans who might be listening to me, right,
1:23:28
Speaker 2: I'm asking white Americans who do not know this history.
1:23:32
Speaker 2: Go and just read about President Lyndon Johnson and you'll
1:23:36
Speaker 2: understand the game today by President by Senator Schumer, who's
1:23:41
Speaker 2: pushing all this craziness, acting as if Black Americans are
1:23:45
Speaker 2: too stupid to get a dog.
1:23:47
Speaker 1: On ID but vote for white Chucky Schumer, right. That
1:23:52
Speaker 1: was the other thing I know. I know because the
1:23:54
Speaker 1: people who are who are trying to put this nonsense
1:23:57
Speaker 1: out there, the black people are too incapable of getting
1:23:59
Speaker 1: an ID insulting the entire black population. The headline I
1:24:03
Speaker 1: saw the other day after the Supreme Court decision that
1:24:05
Speaker 1: was kind of the springboard for your comments this morning,
1:24:07
Speaker 1: Blacks have been denied representation by the Supreme Court. And
1:24:11
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, what, No, Blacks, as you are
1:24:15
Speaker 1: pointing out, are free to vote for whoever they want.
1:24:17
Speaker 1: And since when does a black person have to run
1:24:19
Speaker 1: for office in order to represent the black people? Chucky
1:24:22
Speaker 1: Schumer might make an argument that voting for a white
1:24:24
Speaker 1: guy might provide black people with better representation. That may
1:24:27
Speaker 1: be voting for a conservative black candidate because they exist
1:24:30
Speaker 1: out there.
1:24:30
Speaker 2: Christopher correct as a matter of fact, that we're conservative.
1:24:35
Speaker 2: It's amazing. It's just like We're watching what just happened
1:24:37
Speaker 2: in California this weekend, and this is not tangential, right,
1:24:41
Speaker 2: but this notion that. And I'm a person who has
1:24:45
Speaker 2: a black gay son who I absolutely love in a
1:24:50
Speaker 2: doore period right now. So I'm not anti anything. I'm
1:24:54
Speaker 2: not anti the LGBTQ plus community, but I don't think
1:24:59
Speaker 2: dudes should compete against girls, period. And if you go
1:25:03
Speaker 2: out and you poll Black Americans and you ask them,
1:25:06
Speaker 2: do you think that men should swim against your daughters? Right,
1:25:11
Speaker 2: I'm telling you super majority. I'm not going to say
1:25:14
Speaker 2: it's ninety percent, but it's in the eighties. It's high
1:25:18
Speaker 2: where Black Americans would say, no, I don't think a
1:25:20
Speaker 2: dude should swim against my daughter, or I don't think
1:25:23
Speaker 2: a dude should compete against any girl in any sport.
1:25:26
Speaker 2: And it doesn't make them anti anything. It's common sense.
1:25:31
Speaker 2: But the Democratic Party keeps pushing this agenda, and Black Americans,
1:25:35
Speaker 2: when you're voting for that Democratic ticket, you're also pushing
1:25:39
Speaker 2: that agenda. So line up with a party that lines
1:25:42
Speaker 2: up with your values. You can support the lged LGBTQ
1:25:47
Speaker 2: plus community and at the same time say I don't
1:25:51
Speaker 2: want a man or a boy competing against our women,
1:25:55
Speaker 2: and our girls are going into their bathroom. That women
1:25:58
Speaker 2: deserve a safe space. Now, Brian, I'm in a pivot here,
1:26:01
Speaker 2: and I know I'm long winded, but look, sorry, this
1:26:03
Speaker 2: young lady who had her butt slapped in downtown Cincinnati. Right,
1:26:07
Speaker 2: she's a comedian, and it's all over the internet and
1:26:10
Speaker 2: is going national. Right, And they've arrested this young man
1:26:13
Speaker 2: who did it. Doesn't matter what his race is or
1:26:15
Speaker 2: how old he is. Here's the real point. Cincinnati crime
1:26:19
Speaker 2: is out of control, and this kind of behavior, right,
1:26:24
Speaker 2: is permeating through our fifty two neighborhoods. You and I
1:26:27
Speaker 2: talk about the murders, but what's also happening are these
1:26:30
Speaker 2: crimes where women are being violated. To me, I can't
1:26:34
Speaker 2: even imagine walking down the street with my wife and
1:26:38
Speaker 2: somebody slaps her butt. Yeah, dude, that is violent. That
1:26:42
Speaker 2: is violent. And let me tell you there's a man
1:26:44
Speaker 2: out there who will kill you for doing that to
1:26:47
Speaker 2: his wife. Right. And so I'm letting this Hamilton County
1:26:50
Speaker 2: Judges understand, you better hold this person accountable, because if
1:26:54
Speaker 2: you get these young people running around slapping the buttoxes
1:26:58
Speaker 2: of women, you're gonna run in to somebody who's gonna
1:27:01
Speaker 2: say this is a hard red line and I'm not
1:27:04
Speaker 2: gonna let you do this to my spouse. And so
1:27:07
Speaker 2: my point is that the crime in Cincinnati is out
1:27:10
Speaker 2: of control. We continue to have a mayor and a
1:27:13
Speaker 2: council who say it's our perception. It's not our perception.
1:27:17
Speaker 2: Young people are driving their cars or getting their windows
1:27:20
Speaker 2: knocked out, and things are being taken from their cars.
1:27:23
Speaker 2: People are being assaulted. Whether I'm not talking about their
1:27:26
Speaker 2: butts being slapped, that's horrific. I'm saying being beat up,
1:27:29
Speaker 2: that's horrific. They're being jumped. We've got these teams takeovers
1:27:33
Speaker 2: that are happening. It happened in Price Hill at Price
1:27:36
Speaker 2: Phil Chilly. People are jumping on people's cars and running
1:27:39
Speaker 2: around the street crazy. And as the weather warms up
1:27:42
Speaker 2: into the eighties, we're gonna have more of these teams takeovers.
1:27:45
Speaker 2: Guess what, this mayor, this council, they have nothing for us,
1:27:50
Speaker 2: no solutions on how they're gonna deal with it. And
1:27:52
Speaker 2: one day they're gonna run into somebody who's gonna say,
1:27:55
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna take it. You're not just gonna surround
1:27:58
Speaker 2: me start kicking me, hitting me over my head with
1:28:00
Speaker 2: a chair, and me not defend myself. Right. So I'm
1:28:04
Speaker 2: telling the city there's going to be twelve in the box,
1:28:07
Speaker 2: real souit, because you're gonna run into summery to say
1:28:09
Speaker 2: I'm not taking well.
1:28:12
Speaker 1: I think you've predicted the future quite accurately, Christopher Smithman,
1:28:15
Speaker 1: and hopefully our elected officials will turn the page and
1:28:17
Speaker 1: move on to a better effort at law enforcement for
1:28:20
Speaker 1: the protection and the greater good of everyone in the
1:28:22
Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati.
1:28:24
Speaker 11: The talk station, It's eighth five fifty five kr c
1:28:29
Speaker 11: DE talk station on a Monday, that means it's time
1:28:32
Speaker 11: for Money Monday with Brian James Alworth Financial Brian James
1:28:36
Speaker 11: certify financial planner and always recommend you get one of
1:28:38
Speaker 11: those working for you on your side of the table.
1:28:41
Speaker 1: You have a fiduciary obligation for you and I know
1:28:43
Speaker 1: that's what Brian does. And Brian comes every Monday to
1:28:45
Speaker 1: bring us some great information about well the world of
1:28:47
Speaker 1: money and maybe how it impacts your daily life now
1:28:50
Speaker 1: and preparing for retirement. Brian James, welcome back, my friend.
1:28:53
Speaker 1: Always good having you on this segment.
1:28:55
Speaker 5: Thank you.
1:28:55
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas always good to be here.
1:28:57
Speaker 1: Hey, shock oil, b vegetables. Everything's going up through the
1:28:59
Speaker 1: roof because of these situation with the golf closing. This
1:29:02
Speaker 1: is not new information, but the problem seems to be
1:29:04
Speaker 1: getting worse, and as we seem to be moments away
1:29:06
Speaker 1: from maybe a boots on the ground operation. I know
1:29:09
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that have been suggesting that
1:29:11
Speaker 1: given the stalemate we're in with the Iranians, I guess
1:29:14
Speaker 1: this is only going to get worse. Where are we
1:29:16
Speaker 1: on this, because it looks like everything has been impacted.
1:29:19
Speaker 1: What's the exception of eggs?
1:29:20
Speaker 3: I note, Well, we'll see look at the bright side.
1:29:23
Speaker 3: No long you're talking about the cost of eggs at
1:29:25
Speaker 3: the grocery store cash register. Right, So there you go,
1:29:27
Speaker 3: good talk and I'll see you next week.
1:29:29
Speaker 8: Right.
1:29:29
Speaker 1: Well, even there, it was an interesting ad. It was
1:29:31
Speaker 1: it made the social media rounds. I don't want to
1:29:33
Speaker 1: give credit where credit isn't toe I think was the
1:29:35
Speaker 1: Riverside IgA was selling. It was two dozen eggs for
1:29:38
Speaker 1: ninety nine cents or something like that. Wow, do they
1:29:41
Speaker 1: have a gas station out there spots specially Yeah, gases
1:29:45
Speaker 1: fuel gas is nine dollars a gallon. There, but you
1:29:48
Speaker 1: know you gets anyway obviously, and look what your articallium
1:29:54
Speaker 1: points out. Electric costs aret in all time high, and
1:29:57
Speaker 1: energy costs are the reason we're experiencing this massive and
1:30:00
Speaker 1: so for.
1:30:02
Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, and that's not a shock at all. Right,
1:30:04
Speaker 3: Gases above four bucks nationally in Yahoo and the Chicago
1:30:08
Speaker 3: Tribune are tying that to jump to the April CPI
1:30:12
Speaker 3: and energy shot pressers. The Bureau Labor Statistics says the
1:30:15
Speaker 3: CPI was up six tens of a percent in April.
1:30:18
Speaker 3: Remember these sounded like tiny numbers, but they're really not.
1:30:20
Speaker 3: That's a one month increase, right, six tens of a
1:30:22
Speaker 3: percent in April, and three point eight percent year of
1:30:25
Speaker 3: a year. So we're sneaking up against again against that
1:30:27
Speaker 3: nasty four percent number. We were stuck but happy around
1:30:31
Speaker 3: three percent. Remember the goal is two, and we got close.
1:30:34
Speaker 3: We were in the high tos low threes for a
1:30:36
Speaker 3: good long time. But now as soon as we invaded
1:30:38
Speaker 3: i RAN, prices have gone back up. Gasoline is up
1:30:41
Speaker 3: almost thirty percent from a year ago. The national gas
1:30:44
Speaker 3: pump averages four dollars and fifty one cents as of
1:30:47
Speaker 3: May eighteenth, California is over six fifteen. We know that
1:30:51
Speaker 3: that's a little different world out there, but the over
1:30:53
Speaker 3: six bucks a gallon there are.
1:30:54
Speaker 1: Set more than seven for diesel, Bryant exactly.
1:30:57
Speaker 3: That was just just going to bring that up. And
1:30:58
Speaker 3: remember what we when we're talking about the price of
1:31:01
Speaker 3: transporting goods across the country, we're not talking about unletted.
1:31:05
Speaker 3: We're talking about diesel, and that's a very very different
1:31:07
Speaker 3: environment that is driving prices.
1:31:09
Speaker 8: Up for us.
1:31:10
Speaker 1: All Well, I guess the big looming question we get
1:31:13
Speaker 1: any relief from this, I have to look at it.
1:31:15
Speaker 1: I suppose in the context of the economy, if you
1:31:17
Speaker 1: just look at the various you know, the Dow and
1:31:19
Speaker 1: the S and P five hundred, everything seems to be
1:31:21
Speaker 1: doing pretty well so far. But all of this sounds
1:31:24
Speaker 1: to me like something that I lived through, although it
1:31:26
Speaker 1: really wasn't economically aware of the nineteen seventies and stagflation.
1:31:30
Speaker 1: Is that what we're facing, Brian.
1:31:32
Speaker 3: Well, it can be. You know, at this point, we
1:31:35
Speaker 3: still have the faith out there that things will settle
1:31:39
Speaker 3: down right and within the market is the stock market
1:31:41
Speaker 3: is the canary and the coal mine when it comes
1:31:43
Speaker 3: to that, because it's simply not panicking about this. We're
1:31:46
Speaker 3: wobbling up and down on a daily basis, but we
1:31:49
Speaker 3: still have yet to have major, major concerns among actual
1:31:53
Speaker 3: real dollars. You know that we're going to go over
1:31:56
Speaker 3: the cliff at this point, so there's plenty of stuff
1:31:58
Speaker 3: to be scared about, but at this point it still
1:32:00
Speaker 3: we're still in Take a breath, exhale and step back
1:32:02
Speaker 3: from your four oh one, K. Don't do anything major
1:32:05
Speaker 3: to it. Don't do that anyway, But many don't make
1:32:08
Speaker 3: any rash decisions.
1:32:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, how many ups and downs, I mean significant ones
1:32:11
Speaker 1: that we've been through. I mean in my lifetime alone.
1:32:13
Speaker 1: Of course, you had the problem in the nineteen seventies,
1:32:16
Speaker 1: you had the housing bubble bark, you had the dot
1:32:18
Speaker 1: com bubble burst. All of this brought down all kinds
1:32:20
Speaker 1: of problems for our four oh one case. But you
1:32:22
Speaker 1: know that twenty five percent drop always ended up going
1:32:25
Speaker 1: to something north of twenty five percent in terms of gain,
1:32:27
Speaker 1: and over the lifetime of your investments, it always tends
1:32:30
Speaker 1: to go in that direction.
1:32:31
Speaker 3: Brian, Oh, every other day, I mean there's a wabble
1:32:34
Speaker 3: over something. We tend to panic about the littlest things,
1:32:37
Speaker 3: But the important thing is the pendulum swings back in
1:32:40
Speaker 3: every direction. Anyway, Eventually, cooler heads prevail and we move on.
1:32:44
Speaker 3: And that's the situation that we're in right now. It's
1:32:47
Speaker 3: not really any different. So what are we looking for
1:32:50
Speaker 3: in terms of relief, Well, there's some relief is possible,
1:32:53
Speaker 3: but probably not immediately. Obviously, the near turn outlook depends
1:32:57
Speaker 3: on oil prices, whether the Middle East shipping disruptions can down.
1:33:00
Speaker 3: Now when you're you're talking about boots on the ground,
1:33:02
Speaker 3: that's the opposite of calming down crude hovering near one
1:33:05
Speaker 3: hundred dollars of barrows, keeping those pressure on the pumps.
1:33:08
Speaker 3: Geopolitical issues here is what all this is, right, This
1:33:11
Speaker 3: isn't a you know, it's not a supply issue. It's
1:33:13
Speaker 3: not a freighter stuck in the Panama Canal, you know,
1:33:16
Speaker 3: solvable quickly problems. That's not what's happened. What's happening right now,
1:33:19
Speaker 3: we're resetting kind of the world order. We're also heading
1:33:22
Speaker 3: in the summer driving season that's gonna drive demand refineries.
1:33:25
Speaker 3: We always talk about this this time a year. Refineries
1:33:27
Speaker 3: are working on working on switching to that summer gasoline
1:33:31
Speaker 3: blend that they have changed to. You know, all this
1:33:33
Speaker 3: seasonal stuff. We're gonna have hurricane season, you know, so
1:33:35
Speaker 3: we get those ships through the straight of horror moves.
1:33:37
Speaker 3: They might be coming through hurricanes as well, so that
1:33:39
Speaker 3: can disrupt golf, golf coast refining. But none of what
1:33:43
Speaker 3: I just said, Brian is new. Those are all seasonal,
1:33:46
Speaker 3: annual things we have. The thing that is not, of course,
1:33:49
Speaker 3: is the geopolitical unrest that we have right now that
1:33:52
Speaker 3: comes and goes in cycles as well. So definitely not
1:33:55
Speaker 3: a time to panic, and really again, never a time
1:33:57
Speaker 3: to panic. So take a breath and be thankful that
1:34:00
Speaker 3: you have a job and you're able to get out
1:34:02
Speaker 3: there and continue to make the economy work, no.
1:34:04
Speaker 1: Doubt about it. And you know, for those wait a minute,
1:34:06
Speaker 1: I thought we were a net energy exporter, didn't we
1:34:08
Speaker 1: have enough? We're a wash in oil and gasoline and
1:34:11
Speaker 1: jet fuel and everything else. But it's the global market
1:34:13
Speaker 1: that are impacting this. It was an interesting Wall Street
1:34:15
Speaker 1: Journal article about that just today. The world can't get
1:34:18
Speaker 1: enough US energy, keeping price high for Americans. Because we
1:34:21
Speaker 1: compete on a global basis, We've been able to satisfy
1:34:23
Speaker 1: the global demand in the absence of the strait of
1:34:26
Speaker 1: horror moves, and we are shipping fourteen point two million
1:34:29
Speaker 1: barrels accrued every single day, but we haven't stepped up production.
1:34:36
Speaker 1: Refineries are going all out and producing, and our domestic
1:34:39
Speaker 1: stocks apparently are being depleted fast. That's because the globe
1:34:42
Speaker 1: is demanding a supply from America that is now available.
1:34:45
Speaker 1: So we're not going to give any relief domestically either.
1:34:48
Speaker 3: Well, this is what we wanted to remember. Drill, baby, drill.
1:34:50
Speaker 3: We want to be a competitor. We want to be
1:34:52
Speaker 3: we are one of the largest energy producers in the world.
1:34:54
Speaker 3: And unfortunately, but not surprisingly, I think we have taken
1:34:59
Speaker 3: the path of, hey, this this is a resource we have,
1:35:01
Speaker 3: Let's make as much money as we possibly can out
1:35:03
Speaker 3: of it, rather than saying, you know what, We've got
1:35:06
Speaker 3: our own supplies at home. We don't need to participate
1:35:08
Speaker 3: in the world market. We can keep we can keep
1:35:09
Speaker 3: prices lower here in this country. That's that's The United
1:35:12
Speaker 3: States will never make a decision like that. As I
1:35:14
Speaker 3: say frequently, we are the United States of profit margin.
1:35:16
Speaker 3: If we can make money off of something, we will,
1:35:19
Speaker 3: And unfortunately, US citizens are going to take a back
1:35:22
Speaker 3: seat to the ultimately to the profit margins of the
1:35:24
Speaker 3: oil industry, because that is just how we make our
1:35:26
Speaker 3: decisions here, and it's how we support our political leaders. Well,
1:35:29
Speaker 3: we're waiving the flag with pride here. It's just reality,
1:35:33
Speaker 3: just reality right here where you're coming from.
1:35:35
Speaker 8: Man.
1:35:35
Speaker 1: But hopefully the oild producers are also paying taxes in
1:35:38
Speaker 1: the American economy. With their extra profits, we're going to
1:35:40
Speaker 1: get more tax revenue from them, which may satisfy our
1:35:44
Speaker 1: rapacious demand to spend money.
1:35:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. Remember who we And again, I'm not
1:35:49
Speaker 3: saying this is a bad thing, but that's another place.
1:35:51
Speaker 3: Taxation is another place where we do all the favors
1:35:53
Speaker 3: we possibly can for our publicly trade Yeah, if you
1:35:56
Speaker 3: want some deductions, right, our publicly traded companies are not
1:35:59
Speaker 3: taking garbage bags full of old shirts to goodwill and
1:36:03
Speaker 3: taking their receipts and deducting them. There are very complicated
1:36:06
Speaker 3: tax regulations out there that allow them to pay very
1:36:09
Speaker 3: very little percentage wise. So yes, is it driving more
1:36:12
Speaker 3: dollars tax wise?
1:36:13
Speaker 5: Yes?
1:36:14
Speaker 3: Are they paying the same way you and I are absolutely.
1:36:16
Speaker 1: Not providing additional fodder for a regular criticism I have
1:36:20
Speaker 1: in the American tax code. It is designed by those
1:36:23
Speaker 1: that benefit the most from it, and that's why it's
1:36:24
Speaker 1: so damn long, and it shouldn't be and no one
1:36:27
Speaker 1: should get the extra special relief that nobody else bought.
1:36:30
Speaker 1: It gets me.
1:36:31
Speaker 3: The more boring it is, the fewer people will read it,
1:36:34
Speaker 3: and fewer opinions will appear at the ballot.
1:36:36
Speaker 1: Buy, and the fewer favors can be handed out via
1:36:38
Speaker 1: the tax code. Oh boy, you hitting right in my
1:36:40
Speaker 1: wheelhouse there, Brian James. And one more thing I want
1:36:42
Speaker 1: to talk about before we move away from this topic
1:36:43
Speaker 1: and talk about this new AI obsession Wall Street as fertilizer. Now,
1:36:48
Speaker 1: we do apparently manufacture a lot of fertilizer in this country,
1:36:52
Speaker 1: so it's not like this straight up horn Moves is
1:36:54
Speaker 1: the only place we get it. Sadly, we don't make
1:36:56
Speaker 1: enough for our own use, which is why we have
1:36:58
Speaker 1: to bring it in. That's the ripple effect that I'm
1:37:00
Speaker 1: worried about with the fertilizer shut down. A lot of
1:37:02
Speaker 1: countries don't make their own and they need that production
1:37:05
Speaker 1: from the Middle East, and if they're not getting the
1:37:07
Speaker 1: crops fertilized right now at crop planting time, that could
1:37:10
Speaker 1: be a very very bad ripple effect down the road.
1:37:12
Speaker 3: That's another one of those seasonal things that we'll see
1:37:14
Speaker 3: when we need we need to have these crops pulled
1:37:18
Speaker 3: out of the ground and harvested and shipp across. Did
1:37:20
Speaker 3: we get them grown? Probably going to get the right
1:37:22
Speaker 3: yields that we're used to and all those kinds of things.
1:37:25
Speaker 3: And so, yes, the US is a major producer of
1:37:29
Speaker 3: the three big categories of fertilizer, nitrogen, phosphate, and potash,
1:37:33
Speaker 3: all that comes out of Louisiana, Oklahoma, Iowa, Texas, and
1:37:37
Speaker 3: so in Florida. Florida is a big one too. You're right,
1:37:40
Speaker 3: in companies like Mosaic Nutrient. These are all big, huge
1:37:44
Speaker 3: industrial companies that live in the background. And remember what
1:37:48
Speaker 3: we talk about occasionally natural gas plays a role here too.
1:37:50
Speaker 3: Natural gas is an important element in the production of fertilizer. Yeah,
1:37:54
Speaker 3: and so when you as an example of what can
1:37:56
Speaker 3: happen there, when you look at Europe twenty twenty two,
1:38:00
Speaker 3: Europe's fertilizer production collapsed when natural gas prices exploded right
1:38:04
Speaker 3: after the Russia invaded Ukraine. So there's all these things
1:38:07
Speaker 3: are connected, and one little thing happening somewhere far off
1:38:09
Speaker 3: in the universe may trickle down to have an effect.
1:38:12
Speaker 8: You know.
1:38:13
Speaker 3: Again locally here at home, we're not really exempt from anything.
1:38:16
Speaker 1: No, And somewhere in the in some remote corner of India,
1:38:20
Speaker 1: there's a butterfly flapping its wings right.
1:38:22
Speaker 3: Now exactly, and I have to rebounce my four o
1:38:25
Speaker 3: K because of it.
1:38:26
Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, I don't recommend you doing that neither.
1:38:28
Speaker 1: It is Brian, pull your tongue out of your cheek.
1:38:29
Speaker 1: We'll come back and talk about Wall Street's news. KARCDI
1:38:32
Speaker 1: talk Station, Happy Monday. Monday Monday, Brian James on the phone,
1:38:35
Speaker 1: pivoting over Brian James. I will admit cryptocurrency and all
1:38:39
Speaker 1: of its forms, like the peace of God. It passes
1:38:41
Speaker 1: all Brian Thomas understanding I've been had to explained to
1:38:45
Speaker 1: me and everything I just looked at. It's a bunch
1:38:47
Speaker 1: of ones and zero's floating around the world and it's
1:38:49
Speaker 1: not regulated. It leads up until maybe the Clarity Act,
1:38:52
Speaker 1: which came out of Committity the other day. A long
1:38:54
Speaker 1: party lines. I know you're gonna explain that what this
1:38:57
Speaker 1: Clarity Act is all about. I mean, I get concerned
1:39:00
Speaker 1: when I see that the bill was championed by the
1:39:03
Speaker 1: crypto companies for some reason, they are in favor of this.
1:39:06
Speaker 1: They want some measure of regulation, but not too much.
1:39:09
Speaker 1: And apparently that's where the party divide comes along. First off, right,
1:39:11
Speaker 1: how did this become a Republican Democrat division?
1:39:14
Speaker 3: Well, honestly, I believe it's because the crypto industry has
1:39:17
Speaker 3: an awful lot of money behind it, and there are
1:39:19
Speaker 3: a bunch of politicians who would like to make that
1:39:22
Speaker 3: group happy so that that money can flow their way.
1:39:24
Speaker 3: And so yeah, this was God forbid a somewhat bipartisan
1:39:28
Speaker 3: vote here. The reason so this is about regulation, right,
1:39:31
Speaker 3: So Republicans normally are not so excited about regulation, but
1:39:36
Speaker 3: in this particular case, it will. I mean, the point
1:39:39
Speaker 3: of this here is legitimizing cryptocurrency and allowing if there's rules,
1:39:44
Speaker 3: if there's regulation, then all of a sudden, we're allowing
1:39:48
Speaker 3: the bigger dollars to flow it.
1:39:49
Speaker 1: Well wait a minute, doesn't that legitimizing parint just sort
1:39:53
Speaker 1: of overlook the reality that it seems to be pretty
1:39:55
Speaker 1: legitimate in the hearts and minds of so many people
1:39:57
Speaker 1: who are using it and buying it. There's billions in bills,
1:40:00
Speaker 1: millions of dollars out there invested in it.
1:40:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the key word of what you just said
1:40:02
Speaker 3: is people. What we're talking about is institutions. So without
1:40:06
Speaker 3: the regulation, then the big financial institutions can only do
1:40:09
Speaker 3: so much with it. And not to mention really what
1:40:12
Speaker 3: they're after here, one of the big things is the
1:40:13
Speaker 3: twelve trillion dollars that we all collectively have in our
1:40:16
Speaker 3: four one in case. We've been talking about that frequently
1:40:18
Speaker 3: over the last couple of years as these acts have
1:40:20
Speaker 3: kind of snuck through. There's a lot of different moving
1:40:22
Speaker 3: parts to this. Of course, go figure. But the whole
1:40:25
Speaker 3: point of this, again would be to legitimize this stuff
1:40:28
Speaker 3: as kind of as a security if you would. But
1:40:31
Speaker 3: they don't want to go that far because that would
1:40:33
Speaker 3: put it under the SEC regulation. SEC is generally stricter
1:40:37
Speaker 3: and more expensive to deal with, and so they're looking
1:40:39
Speaker 3: to have it governed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
1:40:43
Speaker 3: CFTC instead of the SEC. And so what it's doing
1:40:47
Speaker 3: is it's attempting to This bill attempts to define when
1:40:49
Speaker 3: a crypto network is decentralized enough to avoid securities classification
1:40:54
Speaker 3: if you're going to trade it through an official exchange
1:40:56
Speaker 3: it's going to become a security so they're looking to
1:40:58
Speaker 3: kind of redefine what that is to keep it out
1:41:00
Speaker 3: from under the sec And this is a piece of
1:41:02
Speaker 3: paper with a bunch of leaders who signed it, who
1:41:04
Speaker 3: said this is probably a good idea. So now the
1:41:07
Speaker 3: bill moves onto the full Senate, where it's going to
1:41:09
Speaker 3: need sixty votes to survive the filibuster. So let's see
1:41:11
Speaker 3: what happens.
1:41:12
Speaker 1: Well, I see that the banking industry is concerned about this,
1:41:15
Speaker 1: under the argument that it's going to allow crypto groups
1:41:17
Speaker 1: to offer interest like payments to stable coin holders and
1:41:22
Speaker 1: lead to decreased bank deposits. I guess part of me
1:41:25
Speaker 1: wants to read that as well. This is I guess
1:41:28
Speaker 1: progress of a sort. Sorry, the banks have some new
1:41:31
Speaker 1: competition in the form of crypto, but if that's where
1:41:34
Speaker 1: people want to gravitate to, isn't that like an improvement?
1:41:36
Speaker 1: It doesn't that force banks to maybe change their ways
1:41:38
Speaker 1: for the better of all of us. Just throwing out that.
1:41:41
Speaker 3: Is absolutely the whole purpose of the decentralization concept of cryptocurrency,
1:41:47
Speaker 3: removing the major financial institutions and removing the financial supply
1:41:50
Speaker 3: chain that we've built over centuries upon centuries and kind
1:41:54
Speaker 3: of putting it in the hands of the people. Which
1:41:56
Speaker 3: all that is great, that's a great slogan to put
1:41:59
Speaker 3: out there and wave a flag. But at the same time,
1:42:01
Speaker 3: anything that provides a path to kind of stay hidden
1:42:05
Speaker 3: and to stay a little more disconnected but still move
1:42:07
Speaker 3: a lot of money around, what's that going to attract, Brian,
1:42:10
Speaker 3: That's going to attract a little bit of malfeasans here
1:42:12
Speaker 3: and there. So that's why the whole reason behind there
1:42:15
Speaker 3: is for some kind of oversight if it's that way
1:42:17
Speaker 3: without overdoing going overboard, the answer is not no oversight.
1:42:21
Speaker 3: So that's what they're trying to address well.
1:42:22
Speaker 1: And I understand law enforcements arguing about this because illicit
1:42:25
Speaker 1: financial transactions can be hidden using crypto, and I get
1:42:28
Speaker 1: all that, but I'm also a privacy advocate, Brian James,
1:42:31
Speaker 1: and the whole idea of crypto scares me because they
1:42:33
Speaker 1: can easily track literally every penny you spend, where you
1:42:36
Speaker 1: spend it, and all of that. And I'm sorry to
1:42:38
Speaker 1: the extent some criminals are going to use it. I
1:42:40
Speaker 1: would rather keep my privacy and let them take take
1:42:43
Speaker 1: advantage of the system like so many criminals are going
1:42:45
Speaker 1: to do anyway then remove all elements of privacy.
1:42:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's an interesting conundrum there, right. So maybe
1:42:52
Speaker 3: the names aren't attached, but you can definitely follow the
1:42:54
Speaker 3: path that old phrase follow the money, and anyone can
1:42:57
Speaker 3: literally pull this stuff up on the Internet and you
1:42:59
Speaker 3: can see where the piles of the giant piles of
1:43:01
Speaker 3: crypto are. You just can't figure out who owns them. Now,
1:43:04
Speaker 3: there is a fascinating book out there called number Go
1:43:06
Speaker 3: Up that digs deep into how there are some groups
1:43:10
Speaker 3: out there who have figured out ways to figure out
1:43:13
Speaker 3: which people are behind this. So not only is it
1:43:16
Speaker 3: maybe not as private as we might think, there's breadcrumbs
1:43:19
Speaker 3: out there. Anybody who is performing these a list of
1:43:21
Speaker 3: transactions leaves a trail. That's the whole point of the blockchain.
1:43:24
Speaker 3: It does leave a trail, and it may or may
1:43:26
Speaker 3: not hide the names attached to it. I don't think
1:43:27
Speaker 3: that's a bad thing.
1:43:29
Speaker 1: Well, there you have it. That's the reality of crypto
1:43:31
Speaker 1: right now. More with Brian James is going to find
1:43:33
Speaker 1: about prediction markets, who's also made a prediction the talk
1:43:36
Speaker 1: station eight thirty almost eight thirty one to fifty about
1:43:40
Speaker 1: KRCD talk Station one more with Monday Monday's Brian James,
1:43:43
Speaker 1: thanks to all Worth going to answer for loaning them
1:43:45
Speaker 1: out to us every week and pivoting over prediction markets
1:43:48
Speaker 1: Brian James, Prediction markets is pretty much you can bet
1:43:50
Speaker 1: on anything, like the Reds are going to win or not,
1:43:54
Speaker 1: the catcher is going to scratch himself in the fourth
1:43:57
Speaker 1: inning or not, and of course the direction of you
1:44:00
Speaker 1: know things out of all the economy. I mean, isn't
1:44:01
Speaker 1: that really kind of like a large betting thing.
1:44:05
Speaker 3: That's really all it is. You can get. You can
1:44:07
Speaker 3: bet on just about anything that you can take. Get
1:44:09
Speaker 3: somebody to take the other side of right, if there's
1:44:11
Speaker 3: nobody else watching that game, for the catcher to scratch himself,
1:44:13
Speaker 3: then you might not get that bet taken. But stuff
1:44:16
Speaker 3: like that is literally out there, you know. The bigger
1:44:18
Speaker 3: ones of course, will the Fed cut rates, will inflation
1:44:21
Speaker 3: exceed three percent? Will this candidate or that candidate win?
1:44:23
Speaker 3: Will oil hit a certain price? That kind of stuff.
1:44:26
Speaker 3: And these contracts do trade like stocks, and they settle
1:44:29
Speaker 3: at either zero or one dollar depending on the outcome.
1:44:32
Speaker 3: And so platforms that are out there like call she Klshi.
1:44:36
Speaker 3: You're going to hear that name an awful lot. They
1:44:38
Speaker 3: argue that these are financial instruments, not gambling, and that
1:44:42
Speaker 3: distinction does matter because it puts them under federal commodities regulations. Sometime.
1:44:46
Speaker 3: We've talked about that grip this morning instead of state
1:44:49
Speaker 3: gambling laws, which is a whole different, very different animal.
1:44:52
Speaker 3: So why are we talking about this, Brian Thomes? Well,
1:44:54
Speaker 3: this has exploded. Prediction market trading grew from roughly five
1:44:59
Speaker 3: billion dollars a month in late twenty four to about
1:45:01
Speaker 3: twenty four billion dollars by March of twenty twenty six.
1:45:05
Speaker 3: We're now starting to see this retail speculation bleeding into
1:45:07
Speaker 3: the mainstream brokerage platforms too. Interactive Brokers, that's a big
1:45:12
Speaker 3: online brokerage out there. They are integrating prediction markets directly
1:45:15
Speaker 3: into their trading ecosystem.
1:45:17
Speaker 1: Well, I guess on some level I have to say
1:45:21
Speaker 1: this out loud, only for you to correct me or say, yeah,
1:45:23
Speaker 1: you're kind of right, aren't this? Various stock markets themselves
1:45:27
Speaker 1: prediction markets? I mean, you have literally millions and billions
1:45:30
Speaker 1: in people investing in the meat, and every day the
1:45:32
Speaker 1: direction goes up or down based upon people's perception of
1:45:35
Speaker 1: the direction of the market. Any particular like, for example, oil,
1:45:38
Speaker 1: you might bet is going to go up and you
1:45:39
Speaker 1: buy it and expecting the contracts to go up. But
1:45:42
Speaker 1: I mean the volume results in some measure of accuracy.
1:45:45
Speaker 1: The more people participate, the more smart people make decisions
1:45:49
Speaker 1: that are reflected in the market. So don't you get
1:45:52
Speaker 1: the best possible view of any given buy based on
1:45:56
Speaker 1: stock market since it's the most popular.
1:45:58
Speaker 3: Wisdom of crowds is what you're referring to there. So yeah,
1:46:00
Speaker 3: a stock market price, any stock price, is nothing more
1:46:04
Speaker 3: than the general public's official opinion of what that company
1:46:07
Speaker 3: is going to earn the future. It doesn't matter what
1:46:08
Speaker 3: they did last quarter. That's just verifying whatever bet we
1:46:11
Speaker 3: made last quarter, was that right or not? But if
1:46:13
Speaker 3: a stock is going up, that's because investors see that
1:46:16
Speaker 3: there is a good future head. They may be right,
1:46:18
Speaker 3: they may be wrong, but they're willing to put their
1:46:20
Speaker 3: dollars on the line. Now that's the big thing here.
1:46:22
Speaker 3: Of course, there's a lot of activity here. Activity generates
1:46:25
Speaker 3: profits for somebody. That's why these prediction markets are out there.
1:46:29
Speaker 3: But why Wall Street likes these. It's one thing to
1:46:31
Speaker 3: take a survey and get people's opinion. Surveys can be
1:46:35
Speaker 3: kind of maloney because people will, you know, they might
1:46:36
Speaker 3: maybe they're you know, maybe they're turmy hurts that day
1:46:39
Speaker 3: or something, they're in a bad mood. But when money
1:46:41
Speaker 3: is involved, exactly if you're going to attach your dollars,
1:46:44
Speaker 3: your own hard earned dollars to an opinion, that's a
1:46:46
Speaker 3: pretty good opinion. So Wall Street is actually looking looking
1:46:49
Speaker 3: at this as as a way to confirm a way
1:46:53
Speaker 3: to kind of predict a sentiment on certain things. Recession probabilities,
1:46:56
Speaker 3: geopolitical conflict risks, natural disaster forecasts, election outcomes. That's a
1:47:01
Speaker 3: big one right there. You know, if you're somebody who's
1:47:03
Speaker 3: inclined to use these things and you're going to put
1:47:05
Speaker 3: money on it, then you're very likely betting on the
1:47:07
Speaker 3: candidate that you yourself are going to vote for because
1:47:09
Speaker 3: that's who you think is going to win. So that
1:47:11
Speaker 3: there there is some predictive value here. A lot of
1:47:14
Speaker 3: strategists say they provide cleaner market signals than traditional analyst
1:47:18
Speaker 3: forecaster pulling, again, because it's people putting their real dollars
1:47:21
Speaker 3: on the line, which will generally align with what they think.
1:47:24
Speaker 1: So the regulatory component of this, clearly it's not regulated
1:47:27
Speaker 1: like securities right now? What impact would that have if
1:47:30
Speaker 1: they said, yeah, this is like trading securities, and so
1:47:32
Speaker 1: you're going to be subjected to the rules of regulations
1:47:34
Speaker 1: regarding those.
1:47:36
Speaker 3: Well, I think that's that's the complicated part, because how
1:47:39
Speaker 3: are you going to regulate the manipulation of this right?
1:47:41
Speaker 5: Right?
1:47:42
Speaker 3: If I'm just a famous person and I can get
1:47:45
Speaker 3: another famous person to say something on a live mic,
1:47:48
Speaker 3: well then I can get a bunch of people paid,
1:47:50
Speaker 3: And I think that is literally happening right now with
1:47:52
Speaker 3: these prediction markets. How are you going to police things
1:47:54
Speaker 3: like that?
1:47:55
Speaker 1: Right?
1:47:55
Speaker 3: That's why the sec exists because you have to file
1:47:57
Speaker 3: your quarterly reports. You have to you know, we have
1:47:59
Speaker 3: to be able to look at the books and all
1:48:01
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff, and that makes everything complicated. But
1:48:04
Speaker 3: I do not know how in the world we're going
1:48:06
Speaker 3: to be able to regulate this kind of thing, you know,
1:48:09
Speaker 3: when it comes to making sure it's not being manipulated,
1:48:13
Speaker 3: and it already is being abused. There have been cases
1:48:15
Speaker 3: out there here it's been used to create a headline
1:48:18
Speaker 3: that is then used to pushing the gem.
1:48:19
Speaker 1: Of course click bay. Of course people react to it.
1:48:23
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I saw that headline I'm gonna buy
1:48:25
Speaker 1: or do this in the prediction market, and of course
1:48:27
Speaker 1: you've been lied to at the outset. Of course, that
1:48:28
Speaker 1: formulates people stupid decisions. But then again, the same thing
1:48:31
Speaker 1: happens in sports betting. If you get some kid to
1:48:33
Speaker 1: shave a few points off in a ballgame, he's gonna
1:48:36
Speaker 1: benefit financially because you're gonna write him a check or
1:48:38
Speaker 1: otherwise not expose the skeletons in his closet, and you're
1:48:41
Speaker 1: going to win your sports bet. That happens all the time.
1:48:44
Speaker 8: That does.
1:48:45
Speaker 3: And that was a pretty famous local example of the
1:48:47
Speaker 3: Black Sox scandal against the Cincinnati Reds in nineteen nineteen. Right,
1:48:51
Speaker 3: But we didn't have all the oversight, we didn't have
1:48:53
Speaker 3: social media and all that stuff then. So yeah, you know, well,
1:48:56
Speaker 3: somebody is going to find a creative way to abuse
1:48:58
Speaker 3: this stuff, and it's going to be it's it's going
1:49:00
Speaker 3: to have an impact.
1:49:01
Speaker 1: And that had the impact of creating the cardinal rule
1:49:04
Speaker 1: of baseball you do not bet on baseball. Another local history,
1:49:07
Speaker 1: how about that, Brian Thomas tying that one back in anyhow,
1:49:11
Speaker 1: But no, go ahead and violate it because you're the
1:49:13
Speaker 1: best ever whatever. Brian James. You don't need to comment
1:49:16
Speaker 1: on that. That was me, Brian James, all or Financial
1:49:17
Speaker 1: Appreciation Show, coming up on the show and talking about
1:49:19
Speaker 1: these important issues every week. We'll do this again next week.
1:49:21
Speaker 1: Have a wonderful week between now and then you as well.
1:49:23
Speaker 3: We'll talk to you in one week.
1:49:25
Speaker 1: Bold lines are open, folks five one three, seven, four
1:49:27
Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two three Talk
1:49:29
Speaker 1: hit one hundred eight hundred two three talko with Pound
1:49:31
Speaker 1: five fifty on AT and T phones. He didn't get
1:49:33
Speaker 1: chance to listen to Christopher Smithman. I was like, he's
1:49:36
Speaker 1: always on a terrriboy. He was going crazy today defending
1:49:39
Speaker 1: black people's intellect. Yes, you are smart enough to get
1:49:42
Speaker 1: an ID. He knows that you know what the Black
1:49:44
Speaker 1: American people know it. And Chucky Schumer is insulting as
1:49:47
Speaker 1: hell when he says black people aren't capable of doing it.
1:49:49
Speaker 1: And somehow this is Jim Crow two point zero, of course,
1:49:52
Speaker 1: referring to the Supreme Court decision on the Virginia uh No,
1:49:56
Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with it. Christopher did a
1:49:58
Speaker 1: wonderful job articulating all that and so much more this morning.
1:50:01
Speaker 1: Fifty five cars dot com for that, and the clock
1:50:04
Speaker 1: is ticking, Bobby called this morning. He does his over
1:50:07
Speaker 1: and under. He thinks within seventy two hours are going
1:50:09
Speaker 1: to be dropping bombs on the Iranians and looking to
1:50:11
Speaker 1: looking more and more like that. Donald said yesterday, the
1:50:14
Speaker 1: clock is ticking for Iran to strike a deal. They
1:50:16
Speaker 1: are not anywhere near a deal. There seemed to be
1:50:18
Speaker 1: the stalemate. Thought. He sends five points over that he
1:50:20
Speaker 1: wants the Iranians reject all those send five points over
1:50:23
Speaker 1: that fly in the face of the five points that
1:50:25
Speaker 1: Donald Trump wants. We're at a deadlock here, he said.
1:50:30
Speaker 1: The regime risks being hit badly if negotiations stall, and
1:50:36
Speaker 1: the straight up horror moses it continues to be closed.
1:50:39
Speaker 1: The clock is ticking, he said, and then Irana better
1:50:43
Speaker 1: get moving fast. I say fast out loud like that
1:50:46
Speaker 1: because it was an all caps on his social media
1:50:48
Speaker 1: pose or there won't be anything left of them. Also
1:50:52
Speaker 1: all caps time is of the essence. Hey, he did
1:50:56
Speaker 1: throw this comment about wanting to make a deal, but
1:50:58
Speaker 1: with the was it eighty seven and airborne that Bobby mentioned,
1:51:01
Speaker 1: And they're all lined up and they seem to be
1:51:03
Speaker 1: ready to go. They're just waiting for the greenlight to
1:51:06
Speaker 1: be declared. I really don't quite know how I feel
1:51:10
Speaker 1: about that. I just I shudder at the notion of,
1:51:13
Speaker 1: you know, just pulling the plug now again. I was
1:51:17
Speaker 1: on Massy side at the outset, saying we need congressional
1:51:19
Speaker 1: involvement on this. We at least need some sort of
1:51:21
Speaker 1: defined goal and authorization for you some military force. This
1:51:25
Speaker 1: is getting extremely expensive, and with all the rumors and
1:51:28
Speaker 1: concerns about running out of military hardware, using up what
1:51:32
Speaker 1: allocations they have within the defense budget to fund this war,
1:51:35
Speaker 1: which was not previously funded up front, they're going to
1:51:38
Speaker 1: be facing that risk as they as we move forward.
1:51:41
Speaker 1: I'm just praying for a quick resolution of this that
1:51:45
Speaker 1: is favorable to us, but just simply walking away at
1:51:48
Speaker 1: this point, notwithstanding the fact that the war may have
1:51:51
Speaker 1: been launched illegally or outside of the War Powers Act,
1:51:54
Speaker 1: make the argument amongst yourself, this is where we are.
1:51:57
Speaker 1: It didn't happen pursuant to some arguable content, institution or
1:52:00
Speaker 1: lawful framework, and yet we're in the middle of a
1:52:02
Speaker 1: conflict that is continuing. So hopefully what we've spent so
1:52:09
Speaker 1: far in the presumed and this is what frightens me
1:52:14
Speaker 1: as we head into Memorial they presume loss of life
1:52:16
Speaker 1: that will come with a boots on the ground operation.
1:52:20
Speaker 1: I can only pray that each and every the American
1:52:22
Speaker 1: service personnel in that area of the world is protected
1:52:25
Speaker 1: and God is looking out for them, and we don't
1:52:27
Speaker 1: have mashed casualties. I'm certain that that will not inure
1:52:31
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump's benefit in November, and that is really,
1:52:33
Speaker 1: really what's behind most of my concerns right now. I
1:52:36
Speaker 1: know I care most about the American people or the
1:52:38
Speaker 1: American military, but I just keep struggling after Brian James
1:52:44
Speaker 1: talking about inflation that you know, I'm just going to
1:52:46
Speaker 1: look at my bottom line and realize that, yeah, inflation
1:52:48
Speaker 1: is kicking in as a consequence of that war right now,
1:52:52
Speaker 1: but that ultimately we will come out the other side
1:52:54
Speaker 1: a much safer, better place globally speaking, and I'm willing
1:52:58
Speaker 1: to pay the price for that right now well, and
1:53:01
Speaker 1: not do a crazy thing like voting for a party
1:53:03
Speaker 1: that yeah, as Christopher pointed out once, men in women's
1:53:08
Speaker 1: locker rooms once an open border, which the vast majority
1:53:12
Speaker 1: of the American people do not want. Going back to
1:53:14
Speaker 1: his comments about the black community, a open border, which
1:53:18
Speaker 1: my understanding is many people of large percentage in the
1:53:22
Speaker 1: black community are not happy about because many of the
1:53:24
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants have moved into their neighborhoods and making life
1:53:27
Speaker 1: rather miserable for them, and while taxing the limited resources
1:53:31
Speaker 1: that any community has. That's what Evelyn's got. Evelyn, thank
1:53:34
Speaker 1: you for calling this morning. A very happy Monday to you.
1:53:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you. Brian.
1:53:39
Speaker 12: Well, I have come to realize that the transgender.
1:53:45
Speaker 7: Well, it's an industry.
1:53:47
Speaker 12: They sell hormones. It's pharmaceutical and I think that people
1:53:54
Speaker 12: who use them on children should be required to use
1:54:00
Speaker 12: them themselves.
1:54:03
Speaker 1: And oh good, that's funny.
1:54:07
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's really being pushed because you know, you've got
1:54:11
Speaker 12: libraries and churches supplying people with resources and tolerance and social.
1:54:19
Speaker 1: Just in doctrination.
1:54:21
Speaker 12: Yes, it's just it's just so terrible that they would
1:54:27
Speaker 12: do this to children as young as five, and children
1:54:31
Speaker 12: shouldn't be made money on. It's no, it's you know.
1:54:36
Speaker 12: I have a friend who's well, his her children are
1:54:41
Speaker 12: grown up.
1:54:42
Speaker 10: And married, and the.
1:54:45
Speaker 12: The son decided that he was a woman and his
1:54:50
Speaker 12: wife decided she was a man. So okay, their adults,
1:54:55
Speaker 12: they're paying for their own demise it could do that
1:55:03
Speaker 12: children is such a sin.
1:55:05
Speaker 1: It's a Mangola like experiment. You know what, even as
1:55:09
Speaker 1: many countries in the European Union have outright bandit, why
1:55:12
Speaker 1: because it's scary, it's crazy, and it ultimately doesn't work.
1:55:17
Speaker 1: You can't turn into the opposite sex with surgical or
1:55:21
Speaker 1: hormonal intervention. That is not the way your chromosome wal
1:55:25
Speaker 1: makeup works. You can cut things off and sew things on,
1:55:29
Speaker 1: it doesn't change reality. I don't know how we even
1:55:31
Speaker 1: have this conversation, and I don't mind your call about it,
1:55:34
Speaker 1: but it just it's just mind blowing every time this
1:55:36
Speaker 1: topic comes up. Period of the story, X and y,
1:55:39
Speaker 1: X and X. That's it, bottom line, end of story
1:55:41
Speaker 1: eight forty five. Right now, Carl and Joel will take
1:55:43
Speaker 1: your calls at a second here if you don't mind
1:55:45
Speaker 1: holding for just a Moment'll be right back calling this morning.
1:55:47
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show.
1:55:49
Speaker 5: Good morning.
1:55:50
Speaker 6: I've got some comments about the house district for race
1:55:52
Speaker 6: over in Kentucky, just gallerin Thomas Massey Race that you
1:55:57
Speaker 6: were speaking about.
1:55:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're all familiar with that one.
1:55:59
Speaker 6: Buy now, Yeah, everybody's heard about that one. I think
1:56:03
Speaker 6: they spend over twenty five million dollars on that on advertising.
1:56:06
Speaker 1: Thirty thirty two million.
1:56:09
Speaker 6: Yes, okay, that's even more. Neither candidate responded to a
1:56:14
Speaker 6: survey that was conducted by the Kentucky Primary election twenty
1:56:19
Speaker 6: twenty six Voter Guide. Yet the two Democrats that are
1:56:22
Speaker 6: running in that district did respond, and we know where
1:56:24
Speaker 6: they stand.
1:56:25
Speaker 5: They believe that there's just too much racism in America. Now.
1:56:29
Speaker 6: I hate to predict how that election is going to
1:56:31
Speaker 6: turn out because the fourth district goes all the way
1:56:33
Speaker 6: from green Up County in the east down to Oldham
1:56:36
Speaker 6: County in the west, and then it goes as south
1:56:39
Speaker 6: as Spencer County in Nelson County. So that's at least
1:56:42
Speaker 6: seventeen counties, and I don't know if the voter's there
1:56:44
Speaker 6: and those counties are hearing some of the advertisements that
1:56:47
Speaker 6: we are hearing here. I mean, the Sunday morning shows
1:56:49
Speaker 6: on television were just one commercial after another.
1:56:53
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:56:54
Speaker 6: The other big race to look at is the Mitch
1:56:56
Speaker 6: McConnell race. There are twelve Republicans running for that seat.
1:56:59
Speaker 6: Once again, none of the big names like Andy Barr
1:57:02
Speaker 6: or Daniel Cameron responded to the newspaper inquiry. There's a
1:57:06
Speaker 6: candidate named George Washington who responded with a NASA conspiracy theory.
1:57:12
Speaker 6: There are six Democrats running in that race, and all
1:57:15
Speaker 6: the Democrats responded to the newspaper. For your Kentucky voters,
1:57:19
Speaker 6: there is a website out there that has sample ballots
1:57:22
Speaker 6: for all of the counties in Kentucky. The other big
1:57:26
Speaker 6: race to watch, which is not getting any publicity here
1:57:28
Speaker 6: in Cincinnati, is the first district race in Kentucky. That's
1:57:32
Speaker 6: the US House of Representatives and that seat is currently
1:57:37
Speaker 6: held by James Comer and that district goes all the
1:57:40
Speaker 6: way from western Kentucky on up into central Kentucky. There
1:57:44
Speaker 6: are three Republicans that are challenging him. And he is
1:57:48
Speaker 6: a chairman of the House Oversight Commission and he holds
1:57:50
Speaker 6: hearings and exposes government waste, fraud and abuse and he's
1:57:55
Speaker 6: fairly popular. And then more locally here, there are fifteen
1:57:59
Speaker 6: candidates run for the Fort Thomas City Council. Voters will
1:58:02
Speaker 6: get to choose up to six. Of course, if you're
1:58:04
Speaker 6: a voter in Fort Thomas, you don't have to choose
1:58:06
Speaker 6: all six. Campbell County voters will be voting on judge, executive,
1:58:10
Speaker 6: county commissioner, jailor and coroner, and constables. Kenton County voters
1:58:14
Speaker 6: will be voting on state representatives, property value administrators, share
1:58:18
Speaker 6: and county commissioner. So this thing goes further than just
1:58:21
Speaker 6: the fourth district.
1:58:22
Speaker 1: It does. Carl from the Commonwealth, I cannot thank you
1:58:25
Speaker 1: enough for that very valuable information. Clearly you know what's
1:58:28
Speaker 1: going on, and I'm glad you passed along the comments
1:58:30
Speaker 1: about those races. And I can't account for why they
1:58:32
Speaker 1: wouldn't fill out the survey. But one thing I can
1:58:34
Speaker 1: say in a shot the al gow ray and he
1:58:36
Speaker 1: didn't want to debate. He has not debated, and he
1:58:38
Speaker 1: has been hiding in his basement Allah, Joe Biden. From
1:58:41
Speaker 1: my perspective, that is a concern. I really don't know
1:58:44
Speaker 1: what Deman's all about, other than he's a arguable obviously
1:58:48
Speaker 1: war here good. I'm glad he was the Navy seal
1:58:50
Speaker 1: and I respect that man all day long for that.
1:58:53
Speaker 1: But what else does he stand for. I would have
1:58:55
Speaker 1: liked to see messy and him going to get into debate.
1:58:57
Speaker 1: Clearly Ed was not interested in that. Joel, thank you
1:58:59
Speaker 1: for calling this morning. You get the final word here
1:59:01
Speaker 1: in the morning show this Monday.
1:59:02
Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, Brian.
1:59:04
Speaker 4: Just I want to say that as a as a Christian,
1:59:07
Speaker 4: I support israel I wonder but I'm curious where we're
1:59:12
Speaker 4: at with them as far as the war with Iran,
1:59:15
Speaker 4: because I thought we started this war with them hand
1:59:19
Speaker 4: in hand.
1:59:20
Speaker 7: Going after Iran, but now we just don't hear anything
1:59:23
Speaker 7: about him anymore, and I'm just.
1:59:24
Speaker 5: Curious, Well, what's going on with that? If you have
1:59:26
Speaker 5: any insight with that.
1:59:27
Speaker 1: Not a tremendous amount other than the fact that they're
1:59:29
Speaker 1: still busy bombing has Bala and his Bala targets. Remember,
1:59:32
Speaker 1: they got more terrorists on their hands than the United
1:59:34
Speaker 1: States is really dealing with right now, so constantly under
1:59:37
Speaker 1: barrage of rockets from various terrorist groups out there. Has
1:59:40
Speaker 1: Bala has been the focus of the Iranian of the
1:59:43
Speaker 1: Israeli forces over the last several days. But I suspect
1:59:47
Speaker 1: very strongly if earlier in the call, Bobby's prediction comes through,
1:59:50
Speaker 1: and we are going to be going into Iran and
1:59:53
Speaker 1: you know, putting an end to this at some point
1:59:55
Speaker 1: boots on the ground, additional strikes and rockets. I think
1:59:57
Speaker 1: if I was a betting Man Polymarket. The Israelis would
2:00:00
Speaker 1: certainly be involved in that. I don't think there's any
2:00:03
Speaker 1: question in my mind about that, folks. I hope you
2:00:05
Speaker 1: have a wonderful day. Tomorrow's a big day in Kentucky.
