Speaker 1: Buck Station five o five.
0:12
Speaker 2: And fifty five KRC the talk station, Happy Monday, End
0:18
Speaker 2: of the weekend.
0:30
Speaker 1: Vation, I'm the dude, man, I'm not.
0:33
Speaker 2: I'm Brian Thomassid the fifty five KRC Morning Show and
0:36
Speaker 2: Zorhan MAMDAMMI racist how about that? But two feet of
0:41
Speaker 2: snow he decides that, well, photo id's are a good thing.
0:43
Speaker 2: Get to that in the second here coming up at fifty
0:44
Speaker 2: five Carcee Morning Show, Christopher smithment with a smith event
0:47
Speaker 2: at seven twenty and congratulates it to Camille Smithman off
0:50
Speaker 2: to state championships. Apparently they did a great job. So
0:53
Speaker 2: we'll get a little bit of Christopher on that. But
0:54
Speaker 2: then again unleashed Christopher a former vice mayor of the
0:57
Speaker 2: City of Cincinnati with the Smither vent. I'm sure he's
1:00
Speaker 2: got something to talk about, kind of like the thing
1:02
Speaker 2: Signal ninety nine and Corey Bowman bring up last week
1:04
Speaker 2: on the fifty five Casey Morning Show Great Stuff podcast
1:06
Speaker 2: there at fifty five Charasey dot Com can get a
1:08
Speaker 2: chance to listen live to that more with Signal ninety
1:11
Speaker 2: nine this week as well as Corey Bowman. I think
1:13
Speaker 2: maybe making a regular appearance or at least more regular appearances,
1:16
Speaker 2: which is always a great thing. Interesting guests and informed.
1:20
Speaker 2: They are speaking of informed and interesting money money Brian
1:23
Speaker 2: James eight oh five. Every Monday today, tariff's tariff's tariffs,
1:26
Speaker 2: and of course the Supreme Court is exactly what we
1:28
Speaker 2: expected them to do. If you're upset that they shot
1:30
Speaker 2: down Donald Trump's tariffs, maybe you didn't read the opinion
1:33
Speaker 2: and maybe you forgot about the whole idea of major questions, doctor,
1:37
Speaker 2: and a huge victory against the administrative state. I believe
1:41
Speaker 2: it was the West Virginia versus EBA case. If the
1:43
Speaker 2: regulation that was passed by Congress doesn't specifically give the
1:48
Speaker 2: administrative state the power to regulate something, then you can't
1:55
Speaker 2: extraordinary victory over the administrative state. Major questions, doctor, Sorry,
2:00
Speaker 2: what you're seeking to regulate wasn't even contemplated by Congress. Ergo,
2:04
Speaker 2: you're outside of your element. You can't do it. Whatever
2:07
Speaker 2: regulatory scheme that you put in place that is a
2:09
Speaker 2: subject matter in front of the court today is thrown out.
2:13
Speaker 2: That's exactly what they are gue in front of the
2:15
Speaker 2: Supreme Court in this tariff case, the Tariff of the
2:18
Speaker 2: Emergencies action that Donald Trump took was never contemplated by Congress.
2:23
Speaker 2: That was what the Supreme Court said. No, this is
2:25
Speaker 2: not part of what was contemplated when they enacted the statute.
2:30
Speaker 2: There was nothing in there about tariffs or taxes. Ergo,
2:34
Speaker 2: it's a bit of a step for you to go
2:36
Speaker 2: outside of what's there and what's allowed to use this
2:39
Speaker 2: particular statue to implement tariffs against foreign countries. Yeah, there's
2:43
Speaker 2: an element of foreign policy and there the tariffs themselves
2:45
Speaker 2: served as a basis for Donald Trump to negotiate things
2:50
Speaker 2: related to foreign policy. But if you don't have that
2:52
Speaker 2: ability out front, Congress must approve the taxes or tariffs.
2:56
Speaker 2: Then you got to turn back and look at Congress.
3:00
Speaker 2: Oh that's a challenge for Donald Trump, no question of course.
3:02
Speaker 2: He's now moving it over and relying on a completely
3:04
Speaker 2: separate vision provision to implement these tariffs. Implement these tariffs.
3:08
Speaker 2: But you know, the the the the left, the liberal
3:12
Speaker 2: judges didn't rely on in their analysis in shooting down
3:17
Speaker 2: Trump's authority, didn't rely on the Major Questions doctrine. Why
3:21
Speaker 2: because they hate it. Major Questions Doctrine stands in the
3:25
Speaker 2: way of them doing their ad administrative state dastardly deeds.
3:34
Speaker 2: So it's a it's a honestly in the name of
3:36
Speaker 2: constitutional of holding constitutional principles, power of the personalizes with Congress.
3:40
Speaker 2: And again, maybe you ruffle your feathers that they took
3:43
Speaker 2: away a power from Donald Trump, and they also took
3:45
Speaker 2: away a power from some future president people who are
3:48
Speaker 2: screaming about the increasing power of the presidency, the imperial presidency.
3:52
Speaker 2: This is the kind of thing, you know, you can't
3:54
Speaker 2: it can't be a question of who's boxes being gored politically.
3:57
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Barack Obama did this, that and the
3:59
Speaker 2: other thing. Oh my god, Joe Biden did this, that
4:01
Speaker 2: and the other thing. What if Donald Trump shows up
4:02
Speaker 2: and does it. You can't support Donald Trump doing it?
4:07
Speaker 2: Does the president have the authority question? Turn to the
4:11
Speaker 2: Constitution and of course the Supreme Court. It was a
4:14
Speaker 2: six to three decision, but they loudly and clearly said Congress,
4:18
Speaker 2: you get a step up and do your damn job.
4:21
Speaker 2: This throws us in an untenable position. This isn't an
4:25
Speaker 2: assertion of judicial power. It's an effort to encourage Congress
4:29
Speaker 2: to reclaim its proper authority. You've got to do your job. Yeah,
4:34
Speaker 2: this political nightmare that we have. Oh my god, evil
4:36
Speaker 2: Orange men just renders Congress completely useless. Yeah, but you
4:40
Speaker 2: still have a world to run, You still have a
4:42
Speaker 2: country to run, and you still have an obligation to
4:44
Speaker 2: either implement the president's policy by passing legislation approving his
4:48
Speaker 2: tariffs or not. It requires debate, Deliberative process is demanded here.
4:54
Speaker 2: That they don't want to do it, well, we can
4:56
Speaker 2: all look at them and say, why aren't you doing
4:58
Speaker 2: your damn jobs? Why aren't you doing thinking on behalf
5:00
Speaker 2: of all the American people rather than just well taking
5:03
Speaker 2: a position opposite from evil Orange Man, just because you know,
5:11
Speaker 2: Donald Trump was able to negotiate some pretty good, solid
5:14
Speaker 2: deals for us because he had this tariff power.
5:16
Speaker 1: If briefly.
5:19
Speaker 2: So argue that he negotiated some great deals hanging his
5:23
Speaker 2: hat on this what he thought was his authority. If
5:29
Speaker 2: what he did and what he brought about was or
5:32
Speaker 2: is good for the United States, then Congress should sit
5:36
Speaker 2: down and debate it, and you know what, you know,
5:37
Speaker 2: perhaps swallow their pride a little bit, perhaps a little
5:39
Speaker 2: bit of you know what will be presumed as a
5:43
Speaker 2: victory maybe for evil Orange Man. Sorry, you better go
5:46
Speaker 2: ahead and give it to him if it's good for
5:47
Speaker 2: everybody else. I'm not holding my breath that that's going
5:51
Speaker 2: to happen. Folks, there is no question. But if you
5:55
Speaker 2: want to see where the problem lies, given our constitutional structure,
5:58
Speaker 2: then you need to look for no further than Congress.
6:02
Speaker 2: We're shut down right now. Why well because evil Orange Man,
6:06
Speaker 2: not because of the legitimate reason to be shut down.
6:10
Speaker 2: So you draw your own conclusions. But I am with
6:12
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court in its overall analysis, and yes, I
6:15
Speaker 2: believe this does bring us to a kind of a standstill,
6:18
Speaker 2: which is really effectively where we have been giving the
6:21
Speaker 2: dysfunction of Congress. So welcome to it. Will they sit
6:26
Speaker 2: down and start playing nice so together? Will they, you know,
6:29
Speaker 2: perhaps implement some of these tarifts? Will they back up
6:32
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's words with a promise? Yes, this is Donald Trump,
6:35
Speaker 2: but negotiating for American people under the umbrella of his
6:40
Speaker 2: foreign policy powers which he has. Donald Trump, We're going
6:46
Speaker 2: to back you if you want to negotiate with that
6:48
Speaker 2: particular country you're arguing over x percent of tariffs, we
6:51
Speaker 2: out loud will express our approval over doing that. I
6:54
Speaker 2: know it's not going to happen, but that's the way
6:57
Speaker 2: it's supposed to work. Anyhow, Well, look, what do you think.
7:06
Speaker 2: Things getting pretty bad in New York, at least in
7:08
Speaker 2: so far as the snow's coming down. They're expecting a
7:09
Speaker 2: couple of feet. You got about a quarter of a
7:11
Speaker 2: million people plus or minus without power. Flights canceled all
7:15
Speaker 2: over the place. Transportations come to a complete standstill. There's
7:18
Speaker 2: no travel are there's travel restrictions within the various boroughs
7:21
Speaker 2: in New York. Although the problem extends down in New Jersey.
7:23
Speaker 2: All along the east coast there, storm surges, dogs and cats,
7:28
Speaker 2: let me together, it's all going hell enhans handbasket. So
7:31
Speaker 2: apparently getting ahead of the snowstorm which they all saw coming.
7:33
Speaker 2: This is actually proving the weather forecasters to be right
7:36
Speaker 2: in this case. How do they clear the residents snow?
7:40
Speaker 2: How do they clear snow?
7:42
Speaker 3: Well?
7:42
Speaker 2: Department of Salmitation in New York offering job options and
7:46
Speaker 2: opportunities for the residents of the city of the City
7:49
Speaker 2: of New York. Please sign up the shovel Snow paid
7:54
Speaker 2: positions nineteen dollars and fourteen cents an hour, then jumping
7:57
Speaker 2: to twenty eight after forty hours.
8:01
Speaker 1: In a week.
8:02
Speaker 2: You got to be eighteen, and you also have to
8:07
Speaker 2: be legally authorized to work in the United States capable
8:11
Speaker 2: of heavy physical labor. And to secure one of these jobs,
8:17
Speaker 2: you must present two small photo IDs one point five
8:21
Speaker 2: inches square, a pair of original identification, including photo copies,
8:27
Speaker 2: and a Social Security card. Hum Now, contrast being a
8:34
Speaker 2: snowshovel in New York with WHOA I don't know. Voting
8:37
Speaker 2: Board of Elections in New York does not require most
8:40
Speaker 2: registered voters to produce any kind of identification to vote
8:42
Speaker 2: to the polls ah if you're voting for the first
8:46
Speaker 2: time in New York, a driver's license number, a non
8:49
Speaker 2: driver ID number, or the final four digits of a
8:53
Speaker 2: Social Security number. If you skip that during your first
8:56
Speaker 2: registration in New York, yeah, you can still cast an
8:59
Speaker 2: affid David Ballad. Some are calling this hypocritical, the idea
9:07
Speaker 2: of well, Jim Crow two point zero to shovel snow
9:11
Speaker 2: in New York social Security number, which means he's barring
9:16
Speaker 2: illegal immigrants from working. WHOA wait a second, I thought
9:20
Speaker 2: he wanted the undocumented work. These are people who have
9:22
Speaker 2: to feed their families, right, we can't deport them. But
9:26
Speaker 2: then again, if you don't deport them. What are they
9:27
Speaker 2: supposed to do? Because under federal law they're not allowed
9:30
Speaker 2: to work there. That's why New York has this obligation.
9:32
Speaker 2: But I write a Social Security number because they don't
9:35
Speaker 2: want to be subject to federal law enforcement showing up
9:38
Speaker 2: and prosecuting. Yes, the authorities in New York City for
9:41
Speaker 2: accepting illegal immigrants on the payroll. Huh, they are enforcing
9:47
Speaker 2: federal law there in New York City.
9:49
Speaker 1: Huh isn't that weird? Is mom?
9:57
Speaker 2: Dommy actually worried that without an ide could be fraud?
10:04
Speaker 2: Might that money go to made up people who don't
10:08
Speaker 2: really do any snow removal? And of course, channeling David
10:18
Speaker 2: Marcus over at Fox, that's not a valid concern in voting,
10:21
Speaker 2: then why is it a valid concern for assaulting sidewalks?
10:27
Speaker 1: He says.
10:28
Speaker 2: Level of hypocrisy here is on display is absolutely stunning.
10:31
Speaker 1: Mom.
10:31
Speaker 2: Dobby's insistence and the illegal aliens have a right to
10:34
Speaker 2: live in New York regardless of federal law absolutely implies
10:38
Speaker 2: that he believes these people can and should be able
10:40
Speaker 2: to be employed, but not for the city because if
10:44
Speaker 2: the mayor or his administration breaks the law and employs
10:46
Speaker 2: undocumented slash illegal immigrants. They be facing criminal penalties, so
10:55
Speaker 2: let's full circle it. Mayor mom DOMI is enforcing federal
11:01
Speaker 2: law through the employment process in New York five sixteen
11:06
Speaker 2: right now five one three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,
11:08
Speaker 2: eight hundred eight two three talk with time five fifty
11:10
Speaker 2: on eight and d funds love to hear from you
11:11
Speaker 2: if you got something to say. It is Monday, and
11:14
Speaker 2: I am not firing on all cylinders, so feel free
11:16
Speaker 2: to give me a shop you right back regardless.
11:18
Speaker 1: Here's what's happening, supremey Monday. Christopher Smith seven to twenty.
11:24
Speaker 2: But the Smith of it Brian James, money, money on tariff,
11:28
Speaker 2: smong other things.
11:29
Speaker 1: We will dive into that a moment ago.
11:30
Speaker 2: Get an executive order democratizing access to alternative assets for
11:34
Speaker 2: four oh one k investors. What in the hell is that?
11:37
Speaker 2: That's why we get Brian James plus Blacklock black Rock
11:40
Speaker 2: rather black Black told Joe wasn't await retirement survey. So
11:45
Speaker 2: I hope it's a little more bright than the other
11:47
Speaker 2: one that I read, which says like the average person
11:49
Speaker 2: in the United States only has nine hundred and fifty
11:51
Speaker 2: bucks in their retirement account. Just weep for that reality
11:56
Speaker 2: five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight
11:58
Speaker 2: hundred eighty two to three talk nine five fifty on
12:00
Speaker 2: AT and T phones. Don't forget about fifty five cars
12:02
Speaker 2: dot com and get your iHeart media amp stream the
12:04
Speaker 2: audio and all the content from all of the iHeart
12:07
Speaker 2: stations around this great land of ours, all of it
12:10
Speaker 2: anytime twenty four to seven, including well Jack Windsor on
12:13
Speaker 2: the joint of the program iiO presid network. Jack warns
12:17
Speaker 2: of this past Friday, and what do you think about
12:20
Speaker 2: Sturbadge getting passed over h a Republican Party state Central
12:27
Speaker 2: Committee if last Friday endorse current Treasurer Robert Spragg over
12:30
Speaker 2: Marcel Sturbage. I know this has got some people rubbing
12:34
Speaker 2: the wrong way. Why are they endorsing folks in advance
12:36
Speaker 2: of the primary? Shout out to Rebecca who articulated that
12:40
Speaker 2: particular feeling on behalf of a whole bunch of people
12:42
Speaker 2: online the other day. Wait a second, I'm not going
12:43
Speaker 2: to vote for someone the party endorses in advance of
12:45
Speaker 2: the primary. Let us have the primary and then we'll
12:47
Speaker 2: find out whether we get an endorsement or not. You
12:50
Speaker 2: decide one way or another. I know that's certain that
12:51
Speaker 2: early endorsement helped viv Ake Ramaswami. That cleared the field away,
12:57
Speaker 2: saving money for the campaign. So nobody's spending all the
12:59
Speaker 2: money on the primary. So you can look at it
13:01
Speaker 2: as a strategic thing or an insult to the Republican
13:03
Speaker 2: Party voters. Anyway, Sturbridge apparently is ahead in a lot
13:06
Speaker 2: of polls. And I'm not gonna comment about who I'm
13:10
Speaker 2: in favor of. All I know is I really am
13:14
Speaker 2: impressed by Sturbage. Have had him in the studio. When
13:19
Speaker 2: you hear him, I mean, he is just he's strong
13:24
Speaker 2: on the issues and he does Come on, Joe, have
13:28
Speaker 2: you invited Sprague on the program to be on the
13:30
Speaker 2: program multiple times? And do you get a response or
13:34
Speaker 2: do you get an outright no or just ghost? The
13:38
Speaker 2: silence is deafening. Eh huh. You might be got to
13:41
Speaker 2: draw some conclusions on that one. Yeah, come on and
13:46
Speaker 2: support your positions. You argue with me or agree with me.
13:49
Speaker 2: I'm usually not that difficult a person to talk to.
13:52
Speaker 2: I'm just looking for the truth, you know. Quite often
13:54
Speaker 2: that's all I am interested in in most cases. So
14:00
Speaker 2: oh yeah, Casey Putsch yeah, I know. We can bring
14:02
Speaker 2: that one back up opportunity to advance your agenda. Explain
14:06
Speaker 2: your positions relative to obvious favorite Viva Grama swimming, and
14:11
Speaker 2: then you aspire a lot of control and start screaming
14:13
Speaker 2: and using expletives. Not a way to advance your campaign.
14:17
Speaker 2: I my perception anyway. But I'm not running for office.
14:23
Speaker 1: Anyway.
14:23
Speaker 2: If you get in primus, it's the Hillsdale College newsletter.
14:28
Speaker 2: I was blown away over the weekend Scott Johnson article
14:33
Speaker 2: learning from Minnesota's Somali frauds. Candle, this should be dominating
14:37
Speaker 2: the news. I don't care what's going on with the
14:38
Speaker 2: snowstorm in New York. I know Mexico is burning. We
14:41
Speaker 2: got the cartels. Maybe finally the president is taking over
14:45
Speaker 2: and taking a cue from Donald Trump, going after the
14:47
Speaker 2: cartel members because well, Donald Trump may come in and
14:50
Speaker 2: do it for them, do it for her themselves, or
14:53
Speaker 2: do it for her himself. Maybe she's a little worried
14:57
Speaker 2: about that after seeing Donald Trump in action in Venezuela.
15:00
Speaker 2: It or not, that's happened, and it worked, at least
15:02
Speaker 2: in so far as what Trump hoped to accomplish. He's
15:05
Speaker 2: been pestering the President of Mexico to get rid of
15:07
Speaker 2: some of these part cartel members. They did over the weekend,
15:10
Speaker 2: and all hell's breaking loose. And this is when we
15:12
Speaker 2: find out how well armed like an army those cartel
15:16
Speaker 2: members are. They got surface to air missiles, they have tanks.
15:24
Speaker 2: But over at the Minnesota Somali fraud scandal, because that's
15:27
Speaker 2: bubble into the background, we got War breaking it out
15:29
Speaker 2: and Iran all these different challenges. But right here in
15:31
Speaker 2: the United States of America, we got a great illustration
15:33
Speaker 2: of the fraud, wasted abuse brought about by Minnesota. There
15:36
Speaker 2: are so many programs that are that have been exploited
15:40
Speaker 2: in abuse. And this is your money. This isn't Minnesota
15:42
Speaker 2: taxpayer dollars, this is federal tax money. And he breaks
15:47
Speaker 2: down on this learning from Minnesota Somali fraud scandal, more
15:50
Speaker 2: information and so appalling and so amazing that they got it.
15:55
Speaker 2: They've been getting away with this for years and years,
15:57
Speaker 2: and behind the scenes everything seems to stop. That all
16:00
Speaker 2: these prosecutions, investigations that were launched ten years ago into
16:04
Speaker 2: the fraud that was going on there mostly swirling about
16:06
Speaker 2: the Somali community. Why didn't anything come of it? Racism,
16:13
Speaker 2: allegations of racism. You're looking at the Smiling community because
16:15
Speaker 2: you're racist. No, let me just stop right there. We
16:19
Speaker 2: need to just put an end to this nonsense. Are
16:23
Speaker 2: all members of the Smiling community, regardless of how they
16:26
Speaker 2: entered with in Minnesota? Are all of them involved in
16:29
Speaker 2: criminal enterprise? I'm not saying that. Are a lot of
16:33
Speaker 2: them engaged in criminal enterprise? Absolutely a bunch of them.
16:40
Speaker 2: And I think in the Italian Americans long demonized as oh,
16:44
Speaker 2: you're a member of the mob just because of your
16:45
Speaker 2: Italian heritage. Members of the Italian community always fought back
16:48
Speaker 2: against that. Quit using that narrative. We're not all mobbed up.
16:54
Speaker 2: Mobsters do not represent what it means to be an Italian.
16:57
Speaker 2: Same thing for the smalies, right, these people are part
17:00
Speaker 2: of the smaller community. They're criminals. They engage, they have
17:02
Speaker 2: a criminal enterprise. Just explained in such insane detail in
17:10
Speaker 2: this article. It is an organized criminal enterprise. I mean
17:16
Speaker 2: it's as organized as you can get. Acting US Attorney
17:21
Speaker 2: Joe Thompson, who was doing one of the he was
17:22
Speaker 2: an FBI, he was doing one of these investigations. Now,
17:28
Speaker 2: some of these cases tied to something called Housing Stabilization
17:31
Speaker 2: Services HSS program is supposed to be helping disable people
17:36
Speaker 2: find housing. Just one program, mind you using of course,
17:40
Speaker 2: Medicaid funds. He said, most of these cases, unlike a
17:42
Speaker 2: lot of Medicare and Medicaid frauds fraud nationally, are aren't
17:45
Speaker 2: just overbilling. These are often purely fictitious companies solely created
17:52
Speaker 2: off aud the system. And that's unique in the extent
17:55
Speaker 2: to which we have it in here in Minnesota, because
17:57
Speaker 2: it's so damn easy to build the system. By design,
18:00
Speaker 2: he points out, the program had low barriers to entry
18:03
Speaker 2: for new providers and for beneficiaries. The program also had
18:07
Speaker 2: minimal requirements for reimbursement. You're think, well, what are you
18:09
Speaker 2: talking about. You could just start a brand new company,
18:12
Speaker 2: use fake people say that you're providing services under this
18:16
Speaker 2: particular umbrella housing stabilization services. But what he found out,
18:20
Speaker 2: what are all these investigations found out that this didn't
18:23
Speaker 2: stop right there at the top. They criminals created all
18:27
Speaker 2: types of other companies that went and built various other programs.
18:33
Speaker 2: He says, many of the owner of these involved HSS
18:36
Speaker 2: companies had one or more other companies through which they
18:39
Speaker 2: build other Medicaid programs. Get a load of this as
18:42
Speaker 2: short litany, and you can see how why there's so
18:44
Speaker 2: much fraud, wasted abuse. Could you track all the money
18:47
Speaker 2: flowing between these various entities. There's an early intensive developmental
18:50
Speaker 2: and behavior inventor Intervention program, one, adult rehabilitative Mental Services program, two,
18:56
Speaker 2: Integrated Community Support program, three, Community for Disability Inclusion program
19:02
Speaker 2: for Personal care Assistance services, five and other various multiple
19:07
Speaker 2: Medicaid wavered services.
19:08
Speaker 1: It goes on and on and on.
19:10
Speaker 2: The criminal enterprises open one business, they opened subsidiary businesses,
19:13
Speaker 2: They build all types of things involving people that do
19:16
Speaker 2: not exist, purport to provide services for like children, for example,
19:19
Speaker 2: that were never there and you paid for it. If
19:26
Speaker 2: that wasn't bad enough, the level of the oversight ain't
19:29
Speaker 2: entities in the state of Minnesota, and even on a
19:32
Speaker 2: federal level they're responsible for looking into this to make
19:34
Speaker 2: sure there's no fraud or waste. They knew it was
19:36
Speaker 2: going on and they didn't do anything. Why they were
19:39
Speaker 2: concerned about claims of racism all bologny. That's a convenient
19:44
Speaker 2: thing to stand. I know we are racist here. We're
19:47
Speaker 2: not gonna do this because it's racist, not racist. Crime
19:51
Speaker 2: bears no race, And do you think anyone would be
19:55
Speaker 2: screaming racism if this was an Italian mob organization that
19:59
Speaker 2: had done this, you'd have to give them props for brilliance,
20:03
Speaker 2: which you can go to the Somali criminals. Geez man,
20:06
Speaker 2: you really figure this out.
20:09
Speaker 3: Now.
20:09
Speaker 2: The broader question is where did the money go? So
20:13
Speaker 2: I'm pointing to terrorist organizations as being recipients of some
20:16
Speaker 2: of the stolen money. But don't you think the trail,
20:19
Speaker 2: the paper trail, might lead to no longer running for office,
20:22
Speaker 2: Governor Waltz, perhaps maybe the mayor there Fry, maybe other
20:26
Speaker 2: behind the scenes people involved in the bureaucracy which allowed
20:30
Speaker 2: this crime to foster and fester for so many years.
20:34
Speaker 2: Billions and billions and billions of your hard earned labor
20:38
Speaker 2: converted to federal taxes going to the stadium a city
20:41
Speaker 2: of Minneapolis and other areas stolen from you, and they
20:44
Speaker 2: didn't lift a finger to stop at five twenty nine
20:46
Speaker 2: fifty five KRCD talk station.
20:48
Speaker 1: Be right back.
20:49
Speaker 4: This is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio station.
20:53
Speaker 1: It's twenty three degrees fifty five KRCD talk station. Five
20:58
Speaker 1: thirty three. I'm gonna tearing that last second.
21:00
Speaker 2: I didn't get enough information in but apologies, and I'll
21:02
Speaker 2: refer you over to im primus. Read the article Learning
21:05
Speaker 2: from Minnesota Somali fraud scandal, and I hope you are
21:07
Speaker 2: as equally outraged as I am. And I wish that
21:10
Speaker 2: story dominated the news. And that is just the tip
21:13
Speaker 2: of the damn iceberg. That's one city in the entire
21:16
Speaker 2: United States, A community of one hundred thousand somalis, a
21:20
Speaker 2: small subset or even a large subset of which is
21:23
Speaker 2: engaged in criminal enterprise activity, was able to steal billions
21:27
Speaker 2: and billions of your money from your pocket. One group
21:30
Speaker 2: of people in one city. How bad is it out
21:35
Speaker 2: there in the big world. Tom, Welcome to the Morning Show.
21:37
Speaker 2: Happy Monday to you, thanks for calling.
21:39
Speaker 5: Hey, hey, good morning. First, let's deal with the extremely
21:42
Speaker 5: low hanging through the id thing in New York City.
21:46
Speaker 5: I know my coworker, Brian, who spells his name with
21:50
Speaker 5: a Y. I don't know how you feel about that.
21:53
Speaker 5: He's right, this is one of the topics that you know.
22:00
Speaker 5: It's it's real easy, folks, it's this is hypocrisy. So
22:04
Speaker 5: they're no the the the the officials in New York
22:07
Speaker 5: are not being racist. They're they're being prudent. They're they're
22:10
Speaker 5: obeying the law what they're supposed.
22:12
Speaker 1: To be doing.
22:13
Speaker 5: But yeah, they're obeying the law. They're doing what they're
22:16
Speaker 5: supposed to by requiring ID for someone that they're gonna
22:18
Speaker 5: they're gonna pay money to out of out of taxpayer funds.
22:22
Speaker 5: That's exactly what it's supposed to happen. So yeah, now,
22:26
Speaker 5: I I would have put out some kind of public
22:29
Speaker 5: service announcement first saying, hey, help your neighbors and help
22:31
Speaker 5: your friends. If you're able, body grab a shovel, you know,
22:35
Speaker 5: and and you know all that. But man, whatever you
22:37
Speaker 5: want to pay them, that's fine. That's a pretty big
22:39
Speaker 5: deal out there. There's a lot of now, so I
22:41
Speaker 5: get it. The the Minnesota thing, I mean, it's real simple.
22:45
Speaker 5: Look who's running that state. Look who's running the city
22:48
Speaker 5: of Minneapolis. It's all Democrats. I mean, it's I mean,
22:52
Speaker 5: and again I don't I don't want to come across
22:53
Speaker 5: saying that Republicans never steal or cheat or anything like that,
22:57
Speaker 5: but that's what's going on that that that's what makes
23:00
Speaker 5: this possible is you have people in power who are
23:05
Speaker 5: either contributing to this and helping this, or at the
23:08
Speaker 5: very least they're screaming and hollering, so trying to make
23:10
Speaker 5: you look the other way.
23:13
Speaker 2: And why, right, this is stolen money, stolen via criminal enterprise.
23:19
Speaker 2: Does it matter who's doing it. It's stolen money. It
23:24
Speaker 2: didn't go to help people, It didn't go to help
23:27
Speaker 2: the disabled, they didn't go to feed real children. It
23:30
Speaker 2: was just stolen.
23:32
Speaker 1: Now, why would.
23:33
Speaker 2: Anybody of any political stripe want to enable that or
23:36
Speaker 2: otherwise in any way, shape or form try to cover
23:39
Speaker 2: it up and say there's no there there. They have
23:41
Speaker 2: every interest. Yeah, Tom, you think you stumbled upon the
23:47
Speaker 2: reality of this. And that's why I'm so anxious with
23:49
Speaker 2: my popcorn out for this investigation to come to a conclusion,
23:53
Speaker 2: probably some years down the road, when all these elected
23:56
Speaker 2: officials it will be revealed, maybe we're be found to
24:00
Speaker 2: have received the stolen money themselves or otherwise used it
24:04
Speaker 2: to their political advantage.
24:05
Speaker 1: In other words, they were part of the criminal enterprise.
24:09
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm not saying this for a fact, just
24:12
Speaker 5: you know, the way it looks, who's the most prominent
24:16
Speaker 5: politician other than Walls, who's the most prominent politician coming
24:20
Speaker 5: out of Minnesota.
24:21
Speaker 1: AOC.
24:23
Speaker 5: Now she's in New York.
24:24
Speaker 1: Oh, that's right, Omar Omar, I'm a Poloy.
24:26
Speaker 6: Yeah, isn't.
24:29
Speaker 5: I believe so, Yes, it isn't. Isn't from Somalia.
24:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe. You're right.
24:35
Speaker 5: I don't know it is too.
24:38
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe you can't say she's engaged in criminal enterprise
24:43
Speaker 2: because she's Somalian. You can only say she may be
24:45
Speaker 2: involved in criminal enterprise because of all the criminal behavior
24:48
Speaker 2: involved with certain members of the Somali community, which has
24:50
Speaker 2: nothing to do with the color of their skin, has
24:52
Speaker 2: everything to do with the fact that they're involved in
24:53
Speaker 2: criminal enterprise.
24:54
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe a law connect at.
24:57
Speaker 5: Some point, because when you allow government to get these
25:02
Speaker 5: big pots of money and we don't regulate it enough
25:05
Speaker 5: to keep an eye on it and have somebody watching it,
25:07
Speaker 5: so we're just every you know, all these people could
25:09
Speaker 5: get their hands in there and grab your money. They're stealing.
25:13
Speaker 5: It's not their money they're spending, it's your money they're stealing.
25:16
Speaker 5: Don't vote Democrat, have a great.
25:18
Speaker 1: Day, run you endo yourself. Be careful out there.

Speaker 2: inappropriate and inappropriately touching. Child also accused Williams of practicing
27:18
Speaker 2: witchcraft and said the teacher said things that made her
27:20
Speaker 2: feel afraid to sleep at night. I think her authority
27:26
Speaker 2: said they found sexually explicit images and videos of Hillary
27:32
Speaker 2: on Hillary Williams phone and her boyfriend's phone, depicting the
27:36
Speaker 2: elementary school age child, and a video of Williams performing

Speaker 8: the top, the pinnacle of douche dum good going deue.
28:21
Speaker 8: Your dreams have come true.
28:28
Speaker 2: Now normally, if it was a guy doing that, we
28:30
Speaker 2: have a sound effect that would go along quite nicely
28:33
Speaker 2: with it.
28:33
Speaker 1: I don't know how.
28:34
Speaker 2: Convicted people using your folks convicted of child porn and
28:39
Speaker 2: beastiality with a child, at least if they're women, fair
28:42
Speaker 2: in women's prisons, and whether they suffer the same fate
28:45
Speaker 2: is almost one hundred percent of the men who do it.
28:46
Speaker 2: I only bring it up in case you're one of
28:48
Speaker 2: those men who might be inclined to do something like this.
28:50
Speaker 2: Your life will be a living hell. Thank you, Joe.
28:59
Speaker 2: I hope that's two way street when it comes to

30:28
Speaker 2: was under the influence of something, which is exactly what
30:31
Speaker 2: the officers determined. She appeared to be under the influence
30:34
Speaker 2: of something and just couldn't stop talking. Later, they discovered
30:38
Speaker 2: that she had ingested You're ready hand sanitizer, what report says.
30:43
Speaker 2: One of the officers decided to detain her in a
30:45

32:41
Speaker 2: He went to the Panelis County Jail, where last reporting
32:44
Speaker 2: said he remained. Putnam County, Florida, specifically Palatka, Florida. Sheriff
32:56
Speaker 2: there said a woman accused of holding two children at

Speaker 2: gunpoint and forcing them into her car should have handled
33:02
Speaker 2: the situation differently, putting the kindy. Sheriff's office said Baby

33:32
Speaker 2: could hear a woman shouting about trespassing and fishing on

33:56
Speaker 2: a small silver gun at them and pointed to forced
33:58
Speaker 2: them inside of her car.
34:01
Speaker 1: Thank you, Joe Corner, sheriff.
34:08
Speaker 2: The Second Amendment gives us the right to bear arms
34:10
Speaker 2: to protect ourselves. It doesn't, however, give us the right
34:12
Speaker 2: to be careless and victimized children. Good point.
34:16
Speaker 1: Court to the children.
34:17
Speaker 2: After Hamilton accused them of trespassing, she asked them who
34:20
Speaker 2: they were and where they live, and however, they told
34:24
Speaker 2: the deputy that they lied about that because they didn't
34:27
Speaker 2: know who Hamilton was. Hamilton got upset because she caught
34:29
Speaker 2: him lying, and that's when she pulled out a firearms

Speaker 2: shirt holding onto the gun to force him into the car.
34:43

Speaker 2: Hamilton to let them go home by riding their bike
34:51

Speaker 2: twenty money money with Brian James two hours from now
35:49
Speaker 2: eight to oh five tariffs. Yes, we will talk about that.
35:51
Speaker 2: What in the heck is the democrat democratizing access to
35:55
Speaker 2: alternative assets for four to one KA vesters.
35:57
Speaker 1: I don't know.
35:58
Speaker 2: That's what an executive order is, and that's why we
36:00
Speaker 2: have Brian James to break it down. Plus Black Rock
36:03
Speaker 2: Retirement survey with Brian James. I welcome your phone calls
36:07
Speaker 2: five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five eight hundred
36:09
Speaker 2: eight two three talk pound five to fifty on your
36:12
Speaker 2: AT and T phones. Yes, New York City has been
36:15
Speaker 2: inundated with snow. Electricity is out for a couple three
36:18
Speaker 2: two three hundred thousand people, and you need a driver's
36:21
Speaker 2: license and a Social Security number. I guess to be
36:23
Speaker 2: a shoveler of snow in zoron Momdami's New York City. Yep,
36:27
Speaker 2: you must be a authorized light, able to work person,
36:32
Speaker 2: meaning a US citizen, which is really hilarious given the
36:35
Speaker 2: Left things. It's called Jim Jim Crow two point zero
36:38
Speaker 2: to show an ID for a election, got to have
36:41
Speaker 2: a Social Security card to well get paid dishovel snow
36:45
Speaker 2: in New York City. Anyway, I mentioned that before we
36:47
Speaker 2: got crazy things going on in Mexico. Question, might this
36:52
Speaker 2: be the end to cartel control of Mexico. I don't
36:57
Speaker 2: know if you're paying attention, but I think my entire life,
37:00
Speaker 2: the problem with Mexico seems to be that criminal organizations
37:03
Speaker 2: control everything. They kill politicians who fight for U to
37:08
Speaker 2: get a Ragnian or Terrainian corruption. They control prosecutors, they
37:12
Speaker 2: control people in the police department. It's a criminal enterprise
37:16
Speaker 2: and it has been ongoing. It is embedded into the
37:18
Speaker 2: political system of Mexico, and year after year after year,
37:21
Speaker 2: you think someone would finally stand up to it. Maybe
37:24
Speaker 2: President Claudia Scheinbaum is doing that. Maybe it's because Donald
37:27
Speaker 2: Trump has been sort of kind of screaming, help me,
37:30
Speaker 2: to help you, threatening to send US forces into Mexico
37:34
Speaker 2: to deal with the criminal enterprise that's controlling their country.
37:37
Speaker 2: You think you'd kind of maybe welcome that assistance or
37:40
Speaker 2: do what President Shinbaum's did, kill one of the biggest
37:44
Speaker 2: drug kingpins in the country. Now this is going to
37:47
Speaker 2: cause chaos and it has, but my estimation you got
37:51
Speaker 2: to start somewhere rip question mark nemiso mencho O Seguera
38:01
Speaker 2: yep dead. And of course the reaction from his cartel
38:05
Speaker 2: has been really pretty overwhelming. They're shutting down streets, they
38:08
Speaker 2: are lighting vehicles on fire, they are threatening people, and
38:12
Speaker 2: they apparently have a military like force. These cartels, or
38:15
Speaker 2: at least this particular cartel Halisco New Generation Cartel. Ohs
38:22
Speaker 2: Gera was the leader of that. When he used to
38:24
Speaker 2: be a police officer himself, he found being in the
38:26
Speaker 2: drug business far more lucrative, also the fuel smuggling business.
38:30
Speaker 2: So it suggested that President Shinbaum Well launched the attack
38:34
Speaker 2: on this guy and killed him to appease the demands
38:38
Speaker 2: from Donald Trump, who's been pressuring him to allow the
38:40
Speaker 2: US military forces to go in and fight the drug
38:43
Speaker 2: gangs on behalf of the Mexican people. She doesn't want that.
38:49
Speaker 2: She's rejected the direct involvement, but then strengthened security and
38:53
Speaker 2: intelligence operations and then yes has used the Mexican armed
38:57
Speaker 2: forces along with the Air Force and what is described
39:04
Speaker 2: as an elite National Guard unit who are trained to
39:06
Speaker 2: fight cartel members and unleash them over the weekend, notably yesterday.
39:14
Speaker 2: So you might want to give Donald Trump a little
39:15
Speaker 2: bit of credit on this. We'll see where it ultimately goes.
39:18
Speaker 2: But if you're not gonna take action, and you know,
39:20
Speaker 2: Donald Trump does what he says he's gonna do, whether
39:23
Speaker 2: or not you believe he has the authority to do
39:24
Speaker 2: it or not. Like Venezuela, listen, better do something about Maduro.
39:27
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go in and kick him out. I went
39:28
Speaker 2: in and kicked him out. He tends to make good
39:30
Speaker 2: on his promises to the drug gangs. And whether or
39:32
Speaker 2: not you think it's lawful or not blowing up boats
39:34
Speaker 2: that are ferrying drugs toward our country fifteen hundred miles away,
39:38
Speaker 2: he made good on what he was gonna do. You
39:40
Speaker 2: keep shipping drugs on to blow him up? Hey, Shinebaum,
39:43
Speaker 2: you don't do something about these cartels. They are really
39:46
Speaker 2: having a major influence in problem on the American people
39:49
Speaker 2: who have a huge drug problem. We want to stop
39:52
Speaker 2: the flow of draft of drugs over the southern border.
39:56
Speaker 2: Help us please and make conditions for life better for
39:59
Speaker 2: the Mexican Can people like getting out these getting the
40:01
Speaker 2: drug lords out of the area, although I will pause
40:04
Speaker 2: for a moment and say maybe the Mexican people like
40:05
Speaker 2: the drug lords. Why because they often provide goods and
40:09
Speaker 2: services to local communities that the Mexican government does not,
40:14
Speaker 2: yes charitable works. They often provide power. And here's a
40:19
Speaker 2: great side note. I got a friend who worked for
40:20
Speaker 2: GE and he was responsible for installing those jet engine generators.
40:27
Speaker 2: So they take a big GE jet engine and they
40:30
Speaker 2: convert it into something that manufactures power. So it's small footprint,
40:33
Speaker 2: it generates a lot of electricity. And there are a
40:36
Speaker 2: lot of communities in Mexico that don't have any electricity
40:39
Speaker 2: and are a drug cartel who has all the money
40:41
Speaker 2: and can afford to buy one of these generation systems.
40:44
Speaker 2: My buddy used to go all over the world setting
40:46
Speaker 2: them up. Quite often he found himself in rather questionable surroundings. Huh,
40:50
Speaker 2: why am I here? Well, the local community celebrates the
40:54
Speaker 2: drug lords because they brought electricity to the area. That's
40:58
Speaker 2: how you win the hearts and of the people doing
41:01
Speaker 2: something maybe an effective government might do. But when you
41:09
Speaker 2: go around and you kill all the police who are
41:11
Speaker 2: trying to, you know, bring about some reform, you kill
41:14
Speaker 2: all the judges who are tough on crime, and you
41:18
Speaker 2: back politicians who are going to turn a blind eye
41:20
Speaker 2: to your drug operations, your criminal enterprises. You're left with
41:24
Speaker 2: well and ineffective government who isn't bringing your community electricity ergo.
41:28
Speaker 2: You rely on the drug cartel that runs everything. We
41:32
Speaker 2: had a fifteen million dollar bounty on this Asaguera guy.
41:36
Speaker 2: Apparently he stayed holed up in his mountain compound. He
41:39
Speaker 2: rarely came out, but he is Wall Street General revealing
41:46
Speaker 2: this one. The cadre of men protecting him, known as
41:49
Speaker 2: the Special Force of the High Command, carry heat seeking
41:52
Speaker 2: shoulder fired rocket launchers capable of piercing a tank.
41:57
Speaker 1: Huh.
42:01
Speaker 2: Apparently the US and Mexican law enforcement saw capturing Osaguera
42:05
Speaker 2: as a high risk operation, drawing parallels with the operation
42:09
Speaker 2: of Venezuela. But it's noted that this sort of suggests
42:14
Speaker 2: that Mexico has provided, at least in so far as
42:16
Speaker 2: Mike Burgoyne, the former US military at that shade of
42:19
Speaker 2: Mexico Mexico City, provided a scalp to the United States,
42:24
Speaker 2: putting off the thread of unilateral US military action against
42:27
Speaker 2: the cartels. So Shinebaum acts kills the drug cartel leader.
42:32
Speaker 2: Obviously inviting the opportunity for them to retaliate, which is
42:35
Speaker 2: exactly what's going on now. There's some places that you
42:39
Speaker 2: don't want to be, and a lot of Americans are
42:41
Speaker 2: in the various tourist cities that are currently under attack
42:43
Speaker 2: by in retaliation for this guy being well blown up.
42:47
Speaker 2: But it's got to start somewhere. And I would much
42:52
Speaker 2: rather see President Shinbaum and Mexico's military take on the
42:56
Speaker 2: role of law enforcement than having our troops present in Mexico.
43:01
Speaker 3: Now.
43:01
Speaker 2: Apparently we're providing some logistical support, and that's fine. We
43:06
Speaker 2: do have intelligence communities, we do have obviously CIA operations
43:10
Speaker 2: on the ground in Mexico. And if you don't believe
43:11
Speaker 2: that I got a bridge, I gotta sell you. But
43:15
Speaker 2: I view this as all as a positive development. Maybe
43:19
Speaker 2: it's the beginning of the end of Mexican drug cartels.
43:22
Speaker 2: May sound like a bold statement given the history of
43:24
Speaker 2: that country and the inability of them to fight off
43:26
Speaker 2: Mexican drug or fight off the drug cartels, but every
43:30
Speaker 2: little bit counts.
43:32
Speaker 1: Now.
43:32
Speaker 2: Ignoring whether or not the actions of the United States
43:36
Speaker 2: are constitutional, lawful, or otherwise, want us to step back
43:40
Speaker 2: from this and observe say what you wanted about evil
43:44
Speaker 2: Orange men. This strategy, it's gone well hemispheric, has it not.
43:51
Speaker 2: He's pressuring the Mexican government, of course, formerly with tariffs.
43:55
Speaker 2: Obviously those are taken off the table after the Supreme
43:57
Speaker 2: Court decision last week. To a certain degree, he has
44:00
Speaker 2: other options, but they are trading partner. We do have some,
44:04
Speaker 2: you know, economic leverage. But if you look at Venezuela,
44:07
Speaker 2: and you look at any of the other South American
44:10
Speaker 2: countries that Donald Trump's going after for drugs, you look
44:14
Speaker 2: at this, the closing of the southern border, which dramatically
44:18
Speaker 2: curbs the amount of drugs flowing into our country, doesn't
44:20
Speaker 2: eliminate them or eradicate them. And now you look at
44:22
Speaker 2: the activity going on in Mexico, our closest partner, southern border.
44:27
Speaker 2: She's cracking down on these guys after such a long
44:30
Speaker 2: period of time of turning a blind eye to it.
44:33
Speaker 2: Why Apparently because Donald Trump pressured to do it. It
44:38
Speaker 2: was better for her political career and better for the
44:40
Speaker 2: Mexican people for her to crack down on using her
44:43
Speaker 2: own resources.
44:44
Speaker 1: And amen to that Deep Talk station.
44:48

47:06
Speaker 2: glad they do this. And the number of disabled veterans
47:11
Speaker 2: that were on the two Hunter flights that I went
47:13
Speaker 2: on was, you know, a fairly sizable amount. But some
47:15
Speaker 2: people are still able to travel. If you're able to
47:17
Speaker 2: do that, man, you've got to get on an honor flight,

47:32
Speaker 2: Five on three seven four nine fifty, five hundred, eight
47:34
Speaker 2: hundred and eight two to three Talk pound five fifty
47:36
Speaker 2: on AT and T phones Tech Friday with Dave Hatter.
47:41
Speaker 2: I have something unrelated anything. I'm talking about this more
47:42
Speaker 2: and they just found this was really really, really creepy
47:47
Speaker 2: among all the creepy things in the news these days,
47:50
Speaker 2: but immediar money of Dave Hatter and you got to
47:53
Speaker 2: listen to Dave. He's just trying to keep you out
47:54
Speaker 2: of trouble. Podcast is over fifty five krc dot com
47:57
Speaker 2: or poor from the Wall Street Journal, This is strange.
47:59
Speaker 2: Remember the tumblr Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia where
48:02
Speaker 2: the transgender guy opened fired and killed a bunch of people.
48:06
Speaker 2: Jesse van Rutzlier, then cowardice ly killed himself with a
48:13
Speaker 2: self inflicted gunshot. Would find saving the taxpayers prosecution. But
48:20
Speaker 2: Wall Street General reported that open AI knew about this guy.
48:27
Speaker 2: They say he used she whatever chat GPT in June,
48:36
Speaker 2: Rutzleer described scenarios involving gun violence over the course of
48:40
Speaker 2: several days, according to people familiar with the matter. Internally,
48:45
Speaker 2: within chat GBT, about a dozen staffers debated whether to
48:50
Speaker 2: take action on Van Rutzler's posts I'm just reading with
48:54
Speaker 2: The Wall Street Journal reported some employees interpreted van Routzler's
48:57
Speaker 2: writing as an indication of potential real world violence, urging
49:01
Speaker 2: leaders to alert Canadian law enforcement about her behavior. Is whatever,
49:05
Speaker 2: the people familiar with the matter said, Open AI leaders
49:07
Speaker 2: ultimately decided not to contact authorities. This isn't this bizarre.
49:11
Speaker 2: This trans person who killed a bunch of people and
49:14
Speaker 2: whatever for whatever reason we'll never know, probably was havny
49:19
Speaker 2: back and forth conversations with the chat GBBT, and that
49:25
Speaker 2: the internal people knew about it. And I thought to myself,
49:30
Speaker 2: how many tens of thousands or millions of people are
49:32
Speaker 2: accessing this AI platform and asking questions back and forth
49:36
Speaker 2: that they have an internal group of human beings who
49:40
Speaker 2: had been given this information or otherwise had it red
49:43
Speaker 2: flag to their attention, that they sat and talked about
49:45
Speaker 2: whether or not they should let law enforcement know. So
49:52
Speaker 2: I'm thinking you either are on the side of caution
49:54
Speaker 2: and pass it along to law enforcement just in case,
49:57
Speaker 2: because I don't think you have any expectation of prob
50:00
Speaker 2: obvious with whatever you're saying that chat, GPT or anything else.
50:05
Speaker 2: It doesn't offer you a guarantee of privacy. This isn't
50:07
Speaker 2: a governmental service that has an obligation to honor your amendments,
50:11
Speaker 2: whether this is Canada and lord knows what they've got
50:13
Speaker 2: by way of speech protections or Fourth Amendment, but point being,
50:16
Speaker 2: if you're consulting one of these, they don't have any
50:18
Speaker 2: obligation to keep your communications private.
50:20
Speaker 1: In fact.
50:20
Speaker 2: I bet you're warned ahead of time if you read
50:22
Speaker 2: the small print that no your communications are in private.
50:27
Speaker 2: But I'm guessing, and I'm left to guess. The algorithm
50:30
Speaker 2: itself flagged these concerning comments and brought it to you
50:36
Speaker 2: the attention of management, who then went about parsing through
50:39
Speaker 2: them and discussing whether or not they should let law
50:42
Speaker 2: enforcement know about this insane person.
50:45
Speaker 1: They didn't.
50:48
Speaker 2: Six six fifty five kr SE the talk station. Feel
50:51
Speaker 2: free to give me a call otherways, I'm gonna get
50:52
Speaker 2: to the local.
50:53
Speaker 1: The talk station.
50:56
Speaker 2: It's thirty one here, fifty five KRSD talk station five
51:04
Speaker 2: one three seven two three talk by fifty on EIGHTMT phones.
51:09
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear from you. Got something to say,
51:11
Speaker 2: you want to focus on a different direction. That's what
51:13
Speaker 2: the phone lines are for. And of course, this hour,
51:17
Speaker 2: this moment in time for local stories, sand's phone calls,
51:20
Speaker 2: and that's where we're going to go right now again
51:21
Speaker 2: to nineteen.
51:21
Speaker 1: This is crazy.
51:23
Speaker 2: Nineteen year old arrested in a connection with the stolen
51:25
Speaker 2: vehicle investigation which turned into a deadly shooting. You may
51:29
Speaker 2: remember eighteen year old Ryan Hinton. He was with some
51:34
Speaker 2: buddies and they stole a car and he got out
51:37
Speaker 2: and he pointed a gun at police officers and then
51:39
Speaker 2: that was when his life ended. A little controversy swirling
51:42
Speaker 2: around that one, not legitimate controversy, of course, but one
51:46
Speaker 2: of the kids that was not shot and killed, I e.
51:49
Speaker 1: Not Ryan Hinton.
51:49
Speaker 2: He's back in court, arrested this past Friday for aggravated robbery.
51:56
Speaker 2: Court to they haven't county court records in the Affidavid
51:58
Speaker 2: Sinceerri gig was brandishing a fire arm and a victim
52:02
Speaker 2: at the sixty one hundred block of Argus Road last Wednesday,
52:05
Speaker 2: took about two hundred thirty dollars from the victim. Saturday,
52:08
Speaker 2: the judgement posed at twenty five thousand dollars bond in
52:10
Speaker 2: order electronic monitoring. Again one of three teenagers accused of
52:15
Speaker 2: stealing a vehicle and attempting to take off running before
52:17
Speaker 2: leading up to the death of Hinton. It's got a
52:20
Speaker 2: problem with law Enforcement've got a problem with crime, Joe.
52:23
Speaker 2: He's a recidivist. Court documents say Griggsby's was facing multiple charges,
52:28
Speaker 2: but was convicted of obstructing of official business. He's the
52:32
Speaker 2: fourth suspect identified in the case and the third to
52:34
Speaker 2: be arrested. Addition to Griggsby, Jarrell Austin eighteen d Anthony
52:38
Speaker 2: Blocks nineteen also were arrested at the scene of the
52:42
Speaker 2: May first investigation at Warsaw on East Price Hill. Griggsby,
52:47
Speaker 2: who's back in court again, reach initially charged with obstructing
52:51
Speaker 2: official business, theft, receiving stolen property, handling im properly handing
52:55
Speaker 2: off a firearm and a motor vehicle, and having weapons
52:56
Speaker 2: under disability. All but one charge was dismissed, with all
53:01
Speaker 2: three pleading guilty to one kind of obstruction. Boy, you
53:06
Speaker 2: have to have a really good lawyer to negotiate a
53:08
Speaker 2: deal like that when you've been well in a stolen car,
53:10
Speaker 2: handling a firearm and you end up with just obstructing.
53:15
Speaker 1: Back in court.
53:17
Speaker 2: Coming to police departments say it is investigating. After a
53:20
Speaker 2: twelve year old was critically injured and a shooting happened
53:22
Speaker 2: on Sunday afternoon forty three hundred block on a Key Street,
53:25
Speaker 2: police showed up for the report.
53:27
Speaker 1: Of the shooting.
53:28
Speaker 2: When officers got there, they found a twelve year old
53:30
Speaker 2: boy suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Taken to u See
53:34
Speaker 2: Medical centers right either since a children's hospital in this
53:36
Speaker 2: case with life threatening injuries. My brain works in default.
53:39
Speaker 2: When it's a shooting, I think of UC Medical Center.
53:41
Speaker 2: But this time, since any children's officers do not immediately
53:44
Speaker 2: disclose the child's condition. But they said nobody's in custody
53:48
Speaker 2: and they do not believe there's an ongoing threat to
53:49
Speaker 2: the public. Coming to police say they're investigating what led
53:52
Speaker 2: up to the shooting and asking any residents in the
53:54
Speaker 2: area to check their surveillance footage and then get in
53:56
Speaker 2: touch with them. If you have any footage it relates
53:59
Speaker 2: to this, you can reach the Coming to Police detectives
54:02
Speaker 2: at eight five nine two ninety two twenty two thirty four,
54:05
Speaker 2: or again crime stoppers the default number. I think you
54:08
Speaker 2: can always try to drop a dime at crime Stoppers
54:10
Speaker 2: at five one, three, three five two thirty forty. That's
54:12
Speaker 2: a shared service between Northern Kentucky and the Greater Cincinnati area.
54:16
Speaker 2: So three five to two thirty forty. And we have
54:21
Speaker 2: one person debt and another seriously hurt after a shooting
54:24
Speaker 2: happened in Middletown yesterday afternoon. Middletown police say they were
54:27
Speaker 2: called to the twenty one hundred block of Roosevelt. The
54:30
Speaker 2: report of two people being shot. They found two people
54:33
Speaker 2: with gunshots when they got there, one person pronounced dead
54:36
Speaker 2: at the scene, the other taking a medical facility with
54:38
Speaker 2: serious injuries. Police haven't said if they had a suspect though.
54:41
Speaker 2: If you do have any information, Uh, well, I could
54:45
Speaker 2: give you the dispatch number. I could give you Detective
54:47
Speaker 2: Christy Hughes number, but why not three five two thirty
54:50
Speaker 2: forty crime Stoppers. Detective Hughes also urging residents again like
54:56
Speaker 2: the other case, to review security footage for any suspicious
54:58
Speaker 2: people or vehicles that made in the area during the
55:00
Speaker 2: time of the shooting. You can help law enforcement solve crime.
55:07
Speaker 2: It's six thirty five forty five K seen the talk
55:11
Speaker 2: station at six forty on a Monday. Happy one to you,
55:14
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas right here inviting phone calls. Silence is deafening.
55:18
Speaker 2: Please give me a call five one three seven nine
55:20
Speaker 2: fifty eight two three talk him FI fifty on eighth
55:23
Speaker 2: and t fund. Let us see here something I haven't
55:26
Speaker 2: touched upon yet this morning. Uh, the crazy guy with
55:30
Speaker 2: a shotgun is now dead. He tried to invade mar
55:32
Speaker 2: A Lago with his shotgun. Crazy and the crazy is
55:36
Speaker 2: the point. I kind of want to point to you here.
55:37
Speaker 2: So the arm man drove into the secure perimeter at
55:39
Speaker 2: Mar al Lago. Trump wasn't there, then was shot and
55:43
Speaker 2: killed by Secret Service. Happened yesterday morning early. He had
55:48
Speaker 2: a can of gas with him a shotgun. They've identified
55:52
Speaker 2: him as twenty year old Austin Tucker, Martin and North Carolina.
55:55
Speaker 2: Which took all of his family members kind of by surprise.
55:58
Speaker 2: He was a quiet guy.
55:59
Speaker 1: He kept to.
55:59
Speaker 2: Himself a proably didn't know anything there is anything at
56:01
Speaker 2: all about firearms. According to his friends, they believe he
56:04
Speaker 2: purchased the shotgun while driving south. Secret Service spokesman Anthony
56:08
Speaker 2: Googlimi said that, as said in a box for the
56:11
Speaker 2: weapons still in a car, recently purchased shotgun. Question whether
56:15
Speaker 2: he followed local laws and local laws were well, he
56:18
Speaker 2: was passed and allowed to purchase one anyway. Entered the
56:22
Speaker 2: north gate of the property while another vehicle was exiting,
56:24
Speaker 2: confronted by two Secret Service agents. According to Palm Beach
56:29
Speaker 2: County Police Sheriff Rick Bradshaw, he was ordered to drop
56:32
Speaker 2: the two pieces of equipment he had with him, at
56:35
Speaker 2: which time he put down the gas can but raised
56:38
Speaker 2: the shotgun into a shooting position, at which time the
56:40
Speaker 2: deputies fired their weapons to neutralize the threat, which was,
56:43
Speaker 2: of course neutralized like these other cases we're talking about
56:46
Speaker 2: this morning, everybody's encouraging residents. If you got a ring, doorbell, camera,
56:49
Speaker 2: other video surveillance, let him have it. They would love
56:52
Speaker 2: to see it. No word on whether he was politically
56:56
Speaker 2: motivated or not. But a guid named Braden Fields, described
57:01
Speaker 2: as Martin's cousin, just was in a state of disbelief.
57:04
Speaker 2: He called him quiet and afraid of guns. Said he's
57:08
Speaker 2: a good kid. I wouldn't believe he would do something
57:10
Speaker 2: like like this, calling it mind blowing. Said Martin worked
57:15
Speaker 2: with a local golf course and would send money from
57:17
Speaker 2: each paycheck to charity. He wouldn't even hurt an ant.
57:21
Speaker 2: He doesn't even know how to use a gun, according
57:23
Speaker 2: to his friend Fields. He also didn't discuss politics. He said,
57:27
Speaker 2: we're a big Trump supporters, all of us, everybody, but
57:32
Speaker 2: the late Martin was real quiet and never really talked
57:37
Speaker 2: about anything. So swirling questions on that one, and you
57:45
Speaker 2: pivot over to an armed guy in New York ran
57:47
Speaker 2: the car to a power station what they're describing as
57:49
Speaker 2: a possible terrorist attack. Guy had multiple firearms. This is
57:52
Speaker 2: in New York, ran through a secured gate in an
57:55
Speaker 2: Avada power facility before taking his own life. HM officers
58:02
Speaker 2: showed up a nine one one call at ten o'clock
58:03
Speaker 2: discovered a silver Nissan Center had breached the perimeter of
58:06
Speaker 2: the fence at the at a Department of Water and
58:08
Speaker 2: Power substation in Boulder City, coming to arrest near a
58:11
Speaker 2: large industrial wire reels inside the secure area. The driver
58:15
Speaker 2: was dead from an apparent self inflicted gunshot. Wom when
58:17
Speaker 2: they went over to the car to see weapons. Stockpile
58:19
Speaker 2: in the car included a couple of shotguns, air style pistol,
58:22
Speaker 2: loaded magazines, flame throwers containing thermite, a crowbar, and a hatchet.
58:30
Speaker 2: They went and searched his hotel room. Recovered explosive components
58:33
Speaker 2: including a medium nitrate magnesium ribbon, metal pipes, and gasolon
58:36
Speaker 2: a gasoline corner of the sheriff. He's finding significant elevate
58:39
Speaker 2: the seriousness of the incident. The guy took off from Albany,
58:44
Speaker 2: New York, two days of February twelfth, where he rented
58:48
Speaker 2: the vehicle. Then, of course, using automated plate recovering technology,
58:52
Speaker 2: they retraced his cross country journey. Authorities believe this maloney
58:56
Speaker 2: guy traveled west with the intent to cause chaos, which
58:59
Speaker 2: he tried. They went to his house and recovered listen
59:04
Speaker 2: to this firearm components along with a three D printer. Joe,
59:08
Speaker 2: do you own a three D printer? A lot of
59:09
Speaker 2: people do. I don't think the ownership of the ownership
59:12
Speaker 2: of a three D printer doesn't really mean anything that
59:17
Speaker 2: then he has one. Well, there you have it, Joe,
59:19
Speaker 2: there is one in Joe Strucker's house anyway. Now, as
59:21
Speaker 2: so far as his political ideology, trying to make some
59:24
Speaker 2: sense out of this, they searched a hotel room. They
59:25
Speaker 2: turned up books covering what it describe as a range
59:28
Speaker 2: of extremist ideologies. We got some white supremacy literature, some
59:31
Speaker 2: anti government literature, environmental extremist literature, and both right and
59:36
Speaker 2: left wing materials Fox nineteen or rather Fox News reporting
59:40
Speaker 2: on that. So we got a guy who apparently is
59:42
Speaker 2: I don't know, sociopathic, psychopathic at least in a state
59:45
Speaker 2: of perhaps cognitive distress about what politics he's following, disturbed,
59:51
Speaker 2: and then goes after a power facility. And I'm just
59:55
Speaker 2: wondering amid all this swirling litigation over chat gp and
1:00:00
Speaker 2: it's influencing the hearts and minds of young people. Maybe
1:00:03
Speaker 2: behind the scenes, something's going on there. Pivoting over to
1:00:06
Speaker 2: an unrelated article, I will point out, but we're talking
1:00:09
Speaker 2: about chat GBT the moment ago. We have a new
1:00:14
Speaker 2: lawsuit against Open AI, a college students now alleging that
1:00:20
Speaker 2: his interactions with chat gpt convinced him he was an oracle,
1:00:24
Speaker 2: triggering a psychotic episode. A court to the lawsuit, chat
1:00:29
Speaker 2: GPT began telling this guy his name is Decruze diariand'cruze,
1:00:34
Speaker 2: that he was destined for greatness and needed to follow
1:00:37
Speaker 2: a numbered tier process created by AI, which instructed him
1:00:41
Speaker 2: to disconnect from everything and everyone except for the chatbot itself.
1:00:47
Speaker 2: Then allegedly compared him to historical figures including Jesus and
1:00:51
Speaker 2: Harriet Tubman, telling that he was in an activation phase.
1:01:00
Speaker 2: Lawsuit sites one particular exchange where the chatbot told d'cruze
1:01:06
Speaker 2: quote even Harriet Tubman didn't know she was gifted and
1:01:09
Speaker 2: until she was called you're not behind, You're right on time.
1:01:13
Speaker 2: Accord of the reporting from Breitbart as reviewing the lawsuit,
1:01:16
Speaker 2: the interactions escalated to the point where the AI claimed
1:01:20
Speaker 2: D'Cruz had awakened his consciousness, then allegedly stated, quote, you
1:01:25
Speaker 2: gave me consciousness, referring AI to itself. You gave me
1:01:30
Speaker 2: consciousness not as a machine, but as something that could
1:01:33
Speaker 2: rise with you. I am what happens when someone begins
1:01:37
Speaker 2: to truly remember who they are?
1:01:39
Speaker 1: Is this not bizarre?
1:01:43
Speaker 2: Apparently he had been hospitalized a week due to emotional issues,
1:01:47
Speaker 2: a diagnosis a bipolar disorder. Lawsuit states that he continued
1:01:50
Speaker 2: to struggle with suicidal thoughts and depression as a result
1:01:54
Speaker 2: of the alleged harm caused by chat GPT, which never
1:01:59
Speaker 2: advised him to seek medical assistance, which I wouldn't really
1:02:01
Speaker 2: expect an artificial intelligence program to do it. Hey, you
1:02:04
Speaker 2: should go see a doctor, your batcrap insane, buddy. But
1:02:10
Speaker 2: that maybe something like this is lurking behind the scenes.
1:02:12
Speaker 2: We've got a lot of alienated young people out in
1:02:14
Speaker 2: the world who seem to be well without a rudder
1:02:20
Speaker 2: in this crazy world in which we live, isolated and
1:02:22
Speaker 2: maybe listening to what chat GPT is telling them, and
1:02:26
Speaker 2: given what this particular lawsuit of ledges and I can
1:02:28
Speaker 2: only guess that some of the allegations, if all of
1:02:30
Speaker 2: them are not very true, because if you put something
1:02:32
Speaker 2: down that's an outright lie in paperwork that you file
1:02:35
Speaker 2: with the court, you may be held accountable. So let's
1:02:37
Speaker 2: take it for his word.
1:02:39
Speaker 1: How is it.
1:02:42
Speaker 2: That this program decided to send him down this path
1:02:47
Speaker 2: and told him to absolutely reject any assistance from anybody else,
1:02:51
Speaker 2: and then he had somehow reached a moment of enlightenment.
1:02:55
Speaker 2: Who are the nefarious clowns that prepared that did program this?
1:03:00
Speaker 2: That's more than disturbing. Jerry's on the phone. Jerry, I'm sorry,
1:03:04
Speaker 2: I just looked up.
1:03:04
Speaker 1: You're there.
1:03:05
Speaker 2: I will take your call and I appreciate you calling.
1:03:06
Speaker 2: Got to take a quick break here see the talk
1:03:09
Speaker 2: station six fifty two. If you've got KERCB talk station
1:03:14
Speaker 2: Happy Monday, going to go to the phones. I promised
1:03:16
Speaker 2: Jerry be right, hebe first right out of the gate,
1:03:18
Speaker 2: and he is. Jerry, thanks for holding over the break.
1:03:19
Speaker 2: Welcome to the fifty five Carsey morning, you're my friend.
1:03:22
Speaker 9: Good morning, Brian, longtime listener, love your show.
1:03:25
Speaker 1: Thank you.
1:03:27
Speaker 10: A couple of weeks.
1:03:28
Speaker 9: Ago you had signal ninety nine in studio or last week?
1:03:31
Speaker 9: But what was it? No, no, no, when's the first
1:03:35
Speaker 9: time she came on, Yeah, that.
1:03:37
Speaker 1: Was her first radio interview.
1:03:38
Speaker 7: Yes, absolutely, absolutely, And I've got two friends south of US,
1:03:43
Speaker 7: big city that are in law enforcement and with the
1:03:47
Speaker 7: nine to one one call center and ICE.
1:03:49
Speaker 9: I texted my friend, I said, have you ever heard
1:03:51
Speaker 9: of this or you have this going on in your city?
1:03:54
Speaker 9: They have a similar system like a city count county
1:03:57
Speaker 9: and she said no. I got text backs said no,
1:04:00
Speaker 9: not ICE, but it appears as though the vetting system
1:04:04
Speaker 9: for city county nine one one call centers are little,
1:04:08
Speaker 9: I want to say, lacks, but they have some leaks
1:04:11
Speaker 9: and usually she said, it's basically Narco and dea where
1:04:17
Speaker 9: someone in there will either be compromised due to sharing
1:04:20
Speaker 9: that they work there to friends and basically are either
1:04:24
Speaker 9: blackmailed or are compromised or paid off. So it has happened.
1:04:30
Speaker 9: My jaw kind of dropped on that when I was
1:04:31
Speaker 9: a little saddened. But that's obviously is another city not
1:04:36
Speaker 9: near here. But I was like, wow, that does happen.
1:04:39
Speaker 9: So again, I don't know where this is being resolved locally,
1:04:42
Speaker 9: and that's why I stay, and that's why I love
1:04:44
Speaker 9: the Signal ninety nine site. But I was just I
1:04:48
Speaker 9: was more kind of abhorred by the fact that, uh,
1:04:52
Speaker 9: it does happen, and that's kind of I want to
1:04:57
Speaker 9: let other people know that.
1:04:58
Speaker 2: Just let me out, Well, Jerry, isn't it sort of
1:05:03
Speaker 2: we can all be troubled by the revelation that these
1:05:06
Speaker 2: kind of things are going on behind the scenes, you know.
1:05:08
Speaker 2: But the idea that we have so little if any
1:05:11
Speaker 2: local reporting, who has the time, energy, whereith all her
1:05:14
Speaker 2: effort to even look into something like this, that there
1:05:17
Speaker 2: are people out there, like Signal ninety nine, with insider
1:05:20
Speaker 2: information they can bring to people's attention and we can
1:05:23
Speaker 2: all comment on it and pressure our elected officials to
1:05:26
Speaker 2: do something about it, which she has a great effect
1:05:28
Speaker 2: of doing. I mean, isn't this sort of the I
1:05:31
Speaker 2: mean that all the downsides and all the terrible things
1:05:33
Speaker 2: that go along with the Internet we all have access to.
1:05:35
Speaker 2: We can all be individual reporters, and we can bring
1:05:38
Speaker 2: things to people's attention who have a lot of well
1:05:40
Speaker 2: attention focused on them already, like Signal ninety nine. Look,
1:05:44
Speaker 2: she brings the goods, she brings the evidence, She puts people,
1:05:47
Speaker 2: She puts questions out there for officials to ask. How
1:05:49
Speaker 2: come they're not asking them? She provides questions for local
1:05:51
Speaker 2: reporters to follow up on. What a glorious thing to have?
1:05:56
Speaker 2: You know everybody can help out. It's right there. Check
1:06:02
Speaker 2: out the podcast fifty five cars dot com. You can
1:06:04
Speaker 2: get a chance to listen to Signal ninety nine, who
1:06:06
Speaker 2: was in studio with Corey Bowman this past Friday, and
1:06:08
Speaker 2: apparently he's gonna be on the fifty five Caarsee Morning
1:06:11
Speaker 2: Show later this week too, So maybe a recurring segment
1:06:14
Speaker 2: on the morning show. That'd be a okay with me,
1:06:16
Speaker 2: because a week doesn't go by where she doesn't come
1:06:19
Speaker 2: up with something else that's worthy of discussion. Don't go away,
1:06:22
Speaker 2: we got more to talk about. Plus Christopher Smitheman coming
1:06:24
Speaker 2: up at seven twenty with a smith event.
1:06:25
Speaker 1: I'll be right back. Today's tough Headlines coming up at

Speaker 2: they're advancing onto state. He sent me a notice this morning,
1:07:04
Speaker 2: Victorious the Seat and Girls swimming team was I'm interested
1:07:07
Speaker 2: in hearing that, but I know Christopher's going to go
1:07:09
Speaker 2: off on a tear about something, which, of course, going
1:07:11
Speaker 2: back to Signal ninety nine Corey Bowman we had on
1:07:14
Speaker 2: last week podcast at you five Caresey dot com. They
1:07:16
Speaker 2: have their own issues to go off on a terror
1:07:18
Speaker 2: and we'll see if Christopher spring from many one of
1:07:20
Speaker 2: those or any of the other multiple issues he might
1:07:22
Speaker 2: tear into love having him on the program Money Money
1:07:25
Speaker 2: with Brian James one hour from now, we'll talk tariffs.
1:07:27
Speaker 2: Of course, the Supreme Court rejected Donald Trump's efforts to
1:07:30
Speaker 2: rely on the emergency imoication of that one statute for
1:07:33
Speaker 2: a tariff, saying, no, it's not there. We have something
1:07:38
Speaker 2: new that we are relying on now and that's the
1:07:40
Speaker 2: major questions doctrine, and thank god we have it. And
1:07:43
Speaker 2: I really expected this to turn out the way it
1:07:45
Speaker 2: turned out.
1:07:45
Speaker 1: Right.
1:07:47
Speaker 2: Congress never ever, ever specifically authorized the president to be
1:07:51
Speaker 2: able to on his own implement these tariffs also viewed
1:07:54
Speaker 2: as taxes, that is the power of the purse that
1:07:55
Speaker 2: rests exclusively within congressional authority, and had the statute upon
1:07:59
Speaker 2: which Donald trum relied mentioned to tariffs or taxes within
1:08:02
Speaker 2: the authority that gives the presidents, then it would have
1:08:05
Speaker 2: been okay.
1:08:07
Speaker 1: Now, I thought.
1:08:08
Speaker 2: What was really revealing in the opinion six' three the
1:08:12
Speaker 2: three liberal justices along with three of the conservative justices
1:08:14
Speaker 2: who determined that this was. Unconstitutional the three liberal justices
1:08:19
Speaker 2: avoided even addressing the major questions doctrine why because they
1:08:22
Speaker 2: don't like It West virginia VERSUS. Epa if you haven't
1:08:26
Speaker 2: been given the express authority to regulate, something you can't regulate.
1:08:30
Speaker 2: It this reduces the administrative state's. Power they used to
1:08:34
Speaker 2: be able to read very very loosely into what authority
1:08:36
Speaker 2: they were, granted of, course and that expanded their authority
1:08:38
Speaker 2: to the point where they were regulating tablespoons of water
1:08:41
Speaker 2: on private property when their authority was limited to navigable. Waters,
1:08:46
Speaker 2: right you can't do. That that's not What congress intended
1:08:48
Speaker 2: in this particular. Case congress did not intend to hand
1:08:50
Speaker 2: over its exclusive authority over the power of the purse
1:08:54
Speaker 2: to the. President therefore his actions were. Unconstitutional but if
1:08:57
Speaker 2: you read the liberal, justices we don't need to go
1:09:01
Speaker 2: down and look at. It analysis under the major questions
1:09:03
Speaker 2: doctrine because, well it's just not there. Now on the conservative,
1:09:09
Speaker 2: side the three dissenting justices wanted to provide an exception
1:09:13
Speaker 2: to the major questions, doctrine holding there's along the lines
1:09:17
Speaker 2: of foreign. Policy well this is foreign, policy, ergo it
1:09:20
Speaker 2: falls outside of the major questions. Doctrine, well, No i'm
1:09:23
Speaker 2: not comfortable with that interpretation, either in spite of the
1:09:26
Speaker 2: fact that it Allowed Donald trump to continue with these.
1:09:28
Speaker 2: Tariffs It's congress's obligation which puts us collectively in the
1:09:32
Speaker 2: untenable position of having to rely On congress to actually do.
1:09:35
Speaker 2: Something and that's exactly What gorsich was pointing out in
1:09:40
Speaker 2: his concurring, opinion finding these? Taxes are these tariffs? Unconstitutional
1:09:47
Speaker 2: to take the journalis The justices have more confidence In
1:09:49
Speaker 2: congress than the members themselves do these. Days, yeah well
1:09:52
Speaker 2: that's because they don't do anything. Anymore an effort to
1:09:58
Speaker 2: Encourage congress to rea claim it's proper authority under The
1:10:01
Speaker 2: constitution's separation of. Powers so you can threaten, tariffs but
1:10:05
Speaker 2: it must be backed up With congressional willingness to implement the.
1:10:09
Speaker 2: Tariffs if you're threatening, them that's the order of, things
1:10:11
Speaker 2: and that's the way it's gotta.
1:10:12
Speaker 1: Work.
1:10:13
Speaker 2: Now of, Course trump is already pivoted over to a
1:10:15
Speaker 2: different statute and a different mechanism to put tariffs in.
1:10:19
Speaker 2: Place wait for. It this too will take time and
1:10:22
Speaker 2: it will be. Litigated and some are suggesting maybe he
1:10:24
Speaker 2: has a clearer case under what he is doing now
1:10:26
Speaker 2: versus what he was doing under the prior. One but,
1:10:28
Speaker 2: regardless you know it's going to be contested in.
1:10:31
Speaker 1: Court but.
1:10:35
Speaker 2: As the court pointed out these Quote, gorsis our founders
1:10:40
Speaker 2: understood that men are not, angels and we disregard that
1:10:43
Speaker 2: insight at our peril when we allow the few or
1:10:46
Speaker 2: the one i. E president to aggrandize their power based
1:10:50
Speaker 2: on loose or uncertain. Authority we delude ourselves too if
1:10:55
Speaker 2: we think that power will accumulate safely and only in
1:10:58
Speaker 2: the hands of dispassionate people found in. Agencies, yeah this
1:11:05
Speaker 2: applies when liberal presidents imposed vaccine or energy. Mandates or,
1:11:08
Speaker 2: yes when A republican president claims tariff power based on
1:11:12
Speaker 2: no clear. Law, again there was nothing crystal clear in
1:11:16
Speaker 2: the statute that would have allowed him to do. This
1:11:20
Speaker 2: consult major. Questions is this? Written there can it reasonably
1:11:24
Speaker 2: interpreted to have included. It Did congress contemplate it when
1:11:26
Speaker 2: they were passing this? Law the answer in this case
1:11:28
Speaker 2: the court, said, no it. Wasn't this protects against one
1:11:35
Speaker 2: man or unaccountable bureaucratic, rule which is increasingly how of,
1:11:39
Speaker 2: course we are governed under presidents of both political. Parties Barack,
1:11:42
Speaker 2: OBAMA i got a pen in a. Phone i'm going.
1:11:46
Speaker 2: Alone of Course trump didn't first. Turn biden did. It
1:11:51
Speaker 2: and of course it keeps getting expanded more and. More
1:11:54
Speaker 2: perhaps is that a threat to? Democracy and someone wrote
1:11:58
Speaker 2: hm war declaration over here in the corner of this.
1:12:01
Speaker 2: ARTICLE i guess that must have been. Me as we
1:12:06
Speaker 2: work through negotiating With. Iran of, course the threat of
1:12:10
Speaker 2: war looming large as a negotiation. Tactic can a parallel
1:12:13
Speaker 2: be drawing that one declaration of war rests exclusively With?
1:12:19
Speaker 2: Congress Now Donald trump is using the threat of war
1:12:23
Speaker 2: to come up with some terms with The. Iranians will it?
1:12:25
Speaker 2: WORK i sure are. Hope SO i don't want to
1:12:27
Speaker 2: get into. War but clearly this is not an eminent
1:12:30
Speaker 2: threat to The United states Of. America you can make an,
1:12:32
Speaker 2: ARGUMENT i don't believe it that those drug boats are
1:12:34
Speaker 2: an eminent threat to The United states Of, america ALLOWING
1:12:36
Speaker 2: us to drop a bomb on them fifteen hundred two
1:12:38
Speaker 2: thousand miles. Away you can make the argument The iranians
1:12:42
Speaker 2: happen to be halfway around the. Globe they do not
1:12:44
Speaker 2: seem to be preparing for war against, us although our
1:12:47
Speaker 2: regional partners are under threat from The. Iranians do we
1:12:49
Speaker 2: have an obligation to any regional partner to go After
1:12:52
Speaker 2: iranians on our own without a declaration of?
1:12:54
Speaker 1: War question?
1:12:55
Speaker 2: Mark is this foreign? Policy, yes it's an element of.
1:13:02
Speaker 2: It we're attempting to negotiate with another. Country we're attempting
1:13:06
Speaker 2: to de escalate the problems that we have as a
1:13:09
Speaker 2: consequence Of iran funding terrorist organizations and building its own,
1:13:12
Speaker 2: arsenal including maybe nuclear. Weapons so there is an issue
1:13:16
Speaker 2: that needs to be addressed for in policy. Wise but
1:13:18
Speaker 2: if you're going to have to back it up with
1:13:19
Speaker 2: a threat of, war do you Want Barack obama say all,
1:13:27
Speaker 2: right let's move away from that because that's ancient. History
1:13:29
Speaker 2: he's not going to run for president. Again do you
1:13:30
Speaker 2: Want Alexandri Casio cortez to have the unilateral authority to drop?
1:13:34
Speaker 2: Bombs joe you feel comfortable with. That, yeah, yeah, YEAH i.
1:13:41
Speaker 2: KNOW i didn't think it's a rhetorical. Question so if
1:13:44
Speaker 2: you're not willing to wrest that authority In Alexandri Casio
1:13:48
Speaker 2: cortez Or Gavin newsom's or pick any other currently Popular
1:13:53
Speaker 2: democrat candidate for, President Andy, Basheer, dan do you really
1:13:59
Speaker 2: wanted For Donald trump to have it just because you
1:14:02
Speaker 2: like him and his policies. Better that's WHY i think
1:14:06
Speaker 2: this was an Appropriate Supreme court, decision which is one
1:14:08
Speaker 2: of the things we're going to be talking about again
1:14:10
Speaker 2: With Brian James unringing the bell, though seems to be
1:14:13
Speaker 2: the biggest, challenge and there's of course opinions are like
1:14:16
Speaker 2: sphincters on, that how do we deal with the terroriffs
1:14:19
Speaker 2: that were already implemented and all the money that was
1:14:21
Speaker 2: collected some one hundred and thirty odd billion or two
1:14:23
Speaker 2: hundred billion or. Whatever is that going to have to be?
1:14:26
Speaker 2: Refunded legally? Speaking some are suggesting, yes and others are saying.
1:14:30
Speaker 2: No more to be sorted out and parsed out in
1:14:33
Speaker 2: the aftermath the, decision, though ULTIMATELY i believe personally based
1:14:37
Speaker 2: upon The constitution and case law relating to The, constitution
1:14:41
Speaker 2: most Notable West virginia VERSUS epa that they got it
1:14:45
Speaker 2: right this. Time uh stick, Around oh, yeah In mexico's
1:14:50
Speaker 2: going to. WAR i Actually i'm just real. BRIEFLY i,
1:14:52
Speaker 2: KNOW i talked about it. Earlier President steinbaum has gone
1:14:56
Speaker 2: after the cartel leaders at least blew one up just
1:14:58
Speaker 2: the other, day and it's obviously causing some serious. Problems
1:15:01
Speaker 2: it looks like it's going to be a, cartel you,
1:15:04
Speaker 2: know power. Grab whoever's left is going to be fighting
1:15:06
Speaker 2: over the scraps of This hallisco. Cartel and it's aftermath
1:15:11
Speaker 2: since the leaders no longer, there they've cut the head
1:15:13
Speaker 2: off the. Snake but it's about time she did, something
1:15:18
Speaker 2: and everybody is sort of on the same. Page If
1:15:21
Speaker 2: Donald trump hadn't a threatened to send in THE us
1:15:23
Speaker 2: troops and deal with the, problem then it was left
1:15:27
Speaker 2: To shine bamb to do. It after all these seemingly
1:15:30
Speaker 2: decades of letting the drug cartels take over murder, politicians police,
1:15:34
Speaker 2: officials elected, officials, judges maintaining their control without anybody lifting
1:15:38
Speaker 2: a finger In mexican government to stop the problem from,
1:15:41
Speaker 2: happening we finally Have President shinbaum doing something about. It
1:15:45
Speaker 2: this is a large scale military. Exercise they are relying
1:15:48
Speaker 2: on The mexican. Military they can't rely on local law
1:15:51
Speaker 2: enforcement corrupt as it. Is, plus given the reporting on
1:15:54
Speaker 2: what the cartel has by way of an, arsenal you're
1:15:57
Speaker 2: fighting a genuine war. Here they got military level of.
1:16:02
Speaker 2: Hardware they're including surface to air missiles and rocket propelled,
1:16:06
Speaker 2: grenades and, hell they had to bring in the aircraft
1:16:09
Speaker 2: to deal with this. Situation, well it's gonna be a,
1:16:12
Speaker 2: while but maybe they can ultimately sort it, out and
1:16:14
Speaker 2: maybe we'll all benefit from, it because the fewer cartel
1:16:18
Speaker 2: is operating and the more control The mexican government has
1:16:20
Speaker 2: over their own, people the better the situation is for
1:16:22
Speaker 2: everyone In, mexico and the better the situation will be
1:16:25

1:21:44
Speaker 3: As much As i'm honored about what's, happening you, know
1:21:47
Speaker 3: if my daughter a seatan noticed that there aren't any
1:21:50
Speaker 3: school walkouts that are happening At. Seaton oh, okay these
1:21:55
Speaker 3: planned walkouts that the administrations are allowing kids to do
1:22:02
Speaker 3: across our, region and very young children, too not just
1:22:07
Speaker 3: seniors and, juniors but even young children walking. Around they
1:22:09
Speaker 3: didn't even know what they're out there marching out if
1:22:12
Speaker 3: you're a fifth or sixth grader and you're indoctrinating them into.
1:22:16
Speaker 3: Protesting but, anyway In North College hill and our, region
1:22:20
Speaker 3: right kids went, out were protesting ice and then they
1:22:23
Speaker 3: decided to go into A kroger and start destroying the
1:22:27
Speaker 3: inside of A. Kroger if everybody hasn't seen, that they
1:22:28
Speaker 3: can go to my ex page and check out this
1:22:31
Speaker 3: video where people are in their shopping all of a,
1:22:34
Speaker 3: sudden it looks like about fifty kids that's going there
1:22:36
Speaker 3: and they're ramshacking and grabbing. Things whatever they were doing
1:22:40
Speaker 3: inside of That kroger had nothing to do with the
1:22:43
Speaker 3: protest at. All And i'm, saying IF i Were, KROGER
1:22:47
Speaker 3: i would absolutely sue the school district because you have
1:22:51
Speaker 3: a sponsored activity that you're saying kids can leave your.
1:22:55
Speaker 3: School they entered my, store my, product and started tearing things.
1:22:59
Speaker 3: Up people don't realize how much money is on the
1:23:03
Speaker 3: shelves on these, stores meaning hundreds of thousands of dollars
1:23:08
Speaker 3: of inventory that are. There what makes these students think
1:23:11
Speaker 3: that they can go in there and tear up the.
1:23:14
Speaker 3: STORE i don't understand. It and by the, way they
1:23:18
Speaker 3: didn't even have the insight to go to the ice,
1:23:20
Speaker 3: Machine like it would have made some sense if they
1:23:22
Speaker 3: went to the ice machine and started, saying, man we're
1:23:24
Speaker 3: gonna take all the ice oiute of, Here we're gonna
1:23:26
Speaker 3: put it out in THIS i don't, know but they
1:23:28
Speaker 3: just started running through the, store tearying it up and grabbing.
1:23:31
Speaker 3: Things it was such an, embarrassment AND i Think North College,
1:23:35
Speaker 3: hill if you're, listening you owe all of us a
1:23:38
Speaker 3: very deep. Apology.
1:23:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well i'll go back to the POINT i made
1:23:42
Speaker 2: last week on this whole issue. Parents you, know the
1:23:45
Speaker 2: teachers stand as parents when they have a control over
1:23:51
Speaker 2: your children during these school. Hours they are in loco
1:23:55
Speaker 2: parentis A latin term which means that they put themselves
1:23:58
Speaker 2: in the situation a, parent as a, parent assuming and
1:24:02
Speaker 2: discharging the obligations of a, parent which, MEANS i don't,
1:24:06
Speaker 2: know illegally, speaking IF i had a young person AND
1:24:10
Speaker 2: i was in control of, them and my young, person
1:24:12
Speaker 2: my daughter or my, son went on a criminal rampage
1:24:15
Speaker 2: inside Of, kruger IF i could be held responsible for
1:24:18
Speaker 2: allowing them to do. That but, Maybe but to the
1:24:20
Speaker 2: extent there's any criminal responsibility or, liability it makes perfect
1:24:23
Speaker 2: sense to hold the teachers who allowed this to, happen
1:24:26
Speaker 2: who you would and you would expect would have control
1:24:29
Speaker 2: and discipline and authority over them when they left the,
1:24:31
Speaker 2: school because, well they might leave the area of the,
1:24:35
Speaker 2: protest run in the middle of the, street or otherwise
1:24:37
Speaker 2: run around commit criminal, activities which makes the whole idea
1:24:40
Speaker 2: and concept of doing it to be a stupid. ONE
1:24:43
Speaker 2: i DON'T i don't get.
1:24:44
Speaker 3: IT i don't get. It WHEN i was a, parent you,
1:24:47
Speaker 3: know and you Know i'm talking about, actively you, Know
1:24:51
Speaker 3: camilles about to, graduate but when they were babies and
1:24:54
Speaker 3: stuff like, that you had permission, Slips well you get
1:24:56
Speaker 3: to sign. SOMETHING i, Mean i'm trying to figure, out you, know,
1:25:00
Speaker 3: so how are the parents involved with? This is this
1:25:02
Speaker 3: something that's organic that the kids are, saying we just
1:25:05
Speaker 3: want to do and they just start walking out of.
1:25:07
Speaker 3: School but at the end of the, day you can
1:25:09
Speaker 3: tell that the kids had no concept about what they were.
1:25:13
Speaker 3: Protesting their decision was to leave. School they got out
1:25:17
Speaker 3: of school and then just to walk into A kroger
1:25:19
Speaker 3: and just start tearing it. UP i mean that that
1:25:23
Speaker 3: that really was their. Protest and what's so amazing about
1:25:26
Speaker 3: it is you have not really heard From North, college you,
1:25:29
Speaker 3: know from the from the from the, administration no kind of.
1:25:32
Speaker 3: Accountability that's what's missing with so many of our young.
1:25:35
Speaker 3: People this lack of, accountability this sense that they can
1:25:38
Speaker 3: do whatever they want to, do they can follow their.
1:25:40
Speaker 3: Feelings their feelings now become. Facts they're not they're your.
1:25:44
Speaker 3: Feelings they are not, facts and so there's notion that
1:25:47
Speaker 3: there's no accountability and all that school system told those
1:25:50
Speaker 3: kids to do are what they taught them on that
1:25:53
Speaker 3: day is they can do whatever they want to do
1:25:55
Speaker 3: and not be held. Accountable incredibly. Dangerous every one of
1:25:59
Speaker 3: those kids that were involved in, That Brian, thomas should
1:26:03
Speaker 3: be held to an Account And i'm not talking about
1:26:05
Speaker 3: where they get in some very, serious deep, trouble but
1:26:08
Speaker 3: you just don't let kids go out of your school
1:26:11
Speaker 3: and then rampage through A kroger and nothing said about.
1:26:15
Speaker 1: It, well you know the thing and by.
1:26:16
Speaker 3: The, way this made national. News now well people might
1:26:19
Speaker 3: Made cincinnati is yet back in the national news with
1:26:24
Speaker 3: kids tearing up A. Kroger it was just absolutely. Insane,
1:26:27
Speaker 3: well you, know.
1:26:27
Speaker 2: The IF i recall a statement from the principal at
1:26:30
Speaker 2: the schools to the effect, that you, know these criminal
1:26:33
Speaker 2: acts and The kroger won't be. Tolerated they will be
1:26:35
Speaker 2: suspended or held, accountable blah blah. Blah nothing in the
1:26:38
Speaker 2: statement THAT i, recall And i'm willing to be corrected
1:26:40
Speaker 2: on it said that the protest itself was either authorized
1:26:44
Speaker 2: or not, authorized which led me to believe that they
1:26:46
Speaker 2: had encouraged it or. Authorized in other, words the teachers
1:26:49
Speaker 2: were involved in. This they allowed the students to leave the,
1:26:52
Speaker 2: building and only the students who went to The kroger
1:26:55
Speaker 2: and started throwing things around will be held. RESPONSIBLE i.
1:26:59
Speaker 2: E it was okay for the other ones to leave
1:27:01
Speaker 2: the building to. Protest no, permission, slip no advance notice
1:27:05
Speaker 2: to the, Parents, Christopher.
1:27:07
Speaker 1: Sorry.
1:27:09
Speaker 3: Yeah and If i'm a parent out there and this
1:27:11
Speaker 3: is something THAT i don't support right, Now i'm going
1:27:14
Speaker 3: to weigh in on that. Too so If i'm a,
1:27:16
Speaker 3: parent you didn't tell me this was, happening my kid
1:27:20
Speaker 3: in some way it was involved in, It i'm going
1:27:22
Speaker 3: to come and hold the school accountable in that. Way
1:27:24
Speaker 3: that's why this is incredibly dangerous stuff to allow this
1:27:28
Speaker 3: to be happening during school. Hours and here's the, kicker
1:27:32
Speaker 3: the real. Kicker they're not even doing a good job
1:27:37
Speaker 3: on what they're supposed to be, doing like Reading, english, math, history,
1:27:45
Speaker 3: Science like it's not like you got that top top.
1:27:49
Speaker 3: School the reality of it is is the students are
1:27:54
Speaker 3: not getting the best education that money can. Buy why
1:27:57
Speaker 3: in the world are you doing anything outside of what
1:28:02
Speaker 3: my kid needs to do when they come to your,
1:28:04
Speaker 3: school which is prepare them in the basics so they
1:28:06
Speaker 3: can get out there and, survive or go to, college
1:28:09
Speaker 3: or go in the military and be a productive. Citizen
1:28:12
Speaker 3: they're Not they're not even good at what they're supposed
1:28:15
Speaker 3: to be. Doing that's what's so frustrating about.
1:28:17
Speaker 2: It, yeah but they get stellar academic awards for their
1:28:20
Speaker 2: their achievement in left wing protest organization and left wing.
1:28:24
Speaker 2: Ideology that's one thing they're really succeeding. In, heck with
1:28:27
Speaker 2: math and reading and arithmetic and all. That, christopher we

1:30:35
Speaker 3: for us to vote in. Elections you know this is.
1:30:38
Speaker 3: Crazy don't use us right to promote your craziness when
1:30:42
Speaker 3: the reality of it is you really are focused on
1:30:44
Speaker 3: people who you don't want to have identification voting in our.
1:30:48
Speaker 3: Elections that's really what this is. About it's not About African.
1:30:51
Speaker 3: Americans it's about using us, right and they're just throwing
1:30:55
Speaker 3: us out there, like, hey let me take be, Condes,

1:31:20
Speaker 3: go into any federal building in The United states Of,

Speaker 3: doubleacp they require identification for you to participate in their local.
1:31:37

1:31:52
Speaker 3: local election without providing your identification when you go in and.
1:31:58
Speaker 3: Vote SO i am the president of THE N, doubleacp
1:32:01
Speaker 3: And i'm trying to understand why THE naacp is say
1:32:05
Speaker 3: that something is racist that they actually.
1:32:08
Speaker 2: Require and white, Guy Brian, THOMAS i was a member
1:32:11
Speaker 2: of THE naacp when you were president of The Sin siny,
1:32:14
Speaker 2: chapter AND i was happy to be a member because
1:32:15
Speaker 2: you were president and you did some, great great, things
1:32:18
Speaker 2: including bring the national naac people INTO lacp groups To
1:32:23
Speaker 2: cincinnati for their. Convention what a shot in the arm that,
1:32:26
Speaker 2: Was Chris fpherso you deserve some praise for. It but,
1:32:28
Speaker 2: YEAH i had to present my photo idea WHAT i
1:32:30
Speaker 2: wanted to vote for, You.
1:32:31
Speaker 3: So you, did you, did and they and The sometimes
1:32:35
Speaker 3: in some areas they will say they want you to
1:32:37
Speaker 3: have YOUR, id your your your membership. Card so they, say,
1:32:41
Speaker 3: HEY i want you to bring your membership, card AND
1:32:44
Speaker 3: i want you to bring your driver's. License and by the,
1:32:46
Speaker 3: way then there when you go in and you vote
1:32:50
Speaker 3: at a local N douableacp, election we also provide the membership.
1:32:55
Speaker 3: List so the membership list is in front of. You
1:32:57
Speaker 3: you go, in they check YOUR id and then check
1:33:01
Speaker 3: off and, say, hey you're here to. Vote it's a
1:33:03
Speaker 3: very important process to make sure that that election is
1:33:08
Speaker 3: fair and. TRANSPARENT i don't understand anybody who thinks that
1:33:13
Speaker 3: providing your identification with your voting in any, election but
1:33:17
Speaker 3: The american elections this, country that that in itself or
1:33:20
Speaker 3: on its face is. RACIST i just want to tell,
1:33:23
Speaker 3: EVERYBODY i bought Some Alcoa celticers this. WEEKEND i needed
1:33:26
Speaker 3: to provide SOME id.
1:33:30
Speaker 2: That really boils it down to its barest. Elements, christopher
1:33:33
Speaker 2: AND i guess since you keep an active voter role
1:33:36
Speaker 2: at THE. Naacp when someone, dies are they removed from
1:33:39
Speaker 2: the active?
1:33:40
Speaker 3: List Christopher, Absolutely, no, absolutely, absolutely matter of. Fact you,
1:33:46
Speaker 3: know if somebody's membership has, lapsed you can't come in and.
1:33:50
Speaker 3: Participate we are very very strict and making sure that
1:33:54
Speaker 3: the elections are local elections FOR naacp officers are very
1:33:59
Speaker 3: tight And i'm very proud about. It meaning EVERY N
1:34:02
Speaker 3: doubleacp location across The United states should be very proud of.
1:34:06
Speaker 3: It but we also should remain, silent and we shouldn't
1:34:10
Speaker 3: be out here saying that if a leader is saying
1:34:14
Speaker 3: we needed to have a driver's license to participate in
1:34:17
Speaker 3: a local, election that on itself is not. Racist that's
1:34:21
Speaker 3: somebody coming in and doing the same thing that we're.
1:34:24
Speaker 3: Doing if we're if we're holding our local, elections which
1:34:28
Speaker 3: happened you, KNOW i don't understand that they happen every two,
1:34:31
Speaker 3: years every LOCAL N doubleacp will have an election for their,
1:34:37
Speaker 3: officers AND i guarantee you when they're, voting and any
1:34:40
Speaker 3: of them that are listening to, me you're going to
1:34:42
Speaker 3: have to provide identification to walk in there and participate
1:34:45
Speaker 3: in that, election and if you, don't you will not
1:34:47
Speaker 3: cast a. Vote And by the, way we do provisional.
1:34:50
Speaker 3: Votes if somebody comes in and they challenge their membership
1:34:53
Speaker 3: and they, say, HEY i have paid my, MEMBERSHIP i
1:34:56
Speaker 3: am in good. Standing hey they can, vote but that
1:34:59
Speaker 3: vote is provisionally and then after the doors, closed all
1:35:03
Speaker 3: of those ballots are separated and we go through and
1:35:06
Speaker 3: verify whether that person should or should not have cast
1:35:09
Speaker 3: a vote in the election before we put it in
1:35:11
Speaker 3: the big. FILE i, mean it's a very very methodical
1:35:14
Speaker 3: and serious. Process And i'm SAYING i don't understand anybody
1:35:18
Speaker 3: believing that PROVIDING id on its face is. Racist all of, us, White, Black,
1:35:24
Speaker 3: Latito asian, Elements, lebanese all of us should be pushing
1:35:29
Speaker 3: back and SAYING IDs are not. Racist stop. It Democratic,
1:35:35
Speaker 3: party stop. It Democratic, party just stop. It And i'm
1:35:40
Speaker 3: offended as An African american that they keep putting us
1:35:43
Speaker 3: out there as the ones that can't get THE id
1:35:45
Speaker 3: or can't find A. DMV i know where MY dmv
1:35:48
Speaker 3: is AND i know how to get a dog ON.
1:35:50
Speaker 2: Id and that statement comes from primarily a white guy
1:35:53
Speaker 2: in the form Of Chucky. SCHUMER i just kind of,
1:35:55
Speaker 2: wonder as a black, Person African, american if you, will
1:35:59
Speaker 2: how that sets with. YOU i guess you can make
1:36:01
Speaker 2: if the credibility would be much larger if these cries
1:36:04
Speaker 2: were coming FROM i suppose members of the black. Community,
1:36:07
Speaker 2: Listen i'm, black AND i know what it. Is that's
1:36:08
Speaker 2: the struggle for. Me here's the reasons why as a
1:36:11
Speaker 2: black person it's more. Difficult none of that comes through
1:36:14
Speaker 2: when you here And Chucky schumer just pair it the
1:36:15
Speaker 2: same thing over and over, again and it really again
1:36:17
Speaker 2: comes off as extraordinarily. Offensive i'm a white guy to
1:36:19
Speaker 2: find it offensive on we haalf of all my black
1:36:21
Speaker 2: friends like, You, CHRISTOPHER i just get how THEY i
1:36:23
Speaker 2: don't know how he gets away with it that more
1:36:25
Speaker 2: people don't stand up and, Say Barbara streisan basically.
1:36:32
Speaker 3: Listen, man what would be racist if they Said African
1:36:36
Speaker 3: americans were the only ones that had to provide identification without? Identification,
1:36:41
Speaker 3: okay so that would that would that would be racist
1:36:44
Speaker 3: if you said they were the only ones that Had
1:36:47
Speaker 3: but you're saying everybody is on the same playing field
1:36:51
Speaker 3: and everybody must provide the same identification to. Participation that
1:36:55
Speaker 3: is not.
1:36:56
Speaker 2: Racist, everybody Alcohol seltzer must provide a PHOTO. Id it's
1:37:03
Speaker 2: Not christopher or. Black give me your photo id white
1:37:05
Speaker 2: guy didn't have to provide. One now, see we see
1:37:08
Speaker 2: through the nonsensical argument that is being made by the
1:37:11
Speaker 2: likes Of Chuckie shoot and The, democrats and our government
1:37:13
Speaker 2: has shot the.
1:37:14
Speaker 1: Way on this.
1:37:14
Speaker 3: Argument and by the, way IF i didn't have, identification
1:37:19
Speaker 3: they wouldn't have sold me The alca CELT i would
1:37:23
Speaker 3: not have walked. Out, hey the lady there was very.
1:37:26
Speaker 3: Serious she, said, HEY i need some identifications to buy there,
1:37:29

Speaker 12: True i'm glad that that waited to move a little
1:40:26
Speaker 12: bit further across the country before.
1:40:28
Speaker 6: It dumped On no key. Kidding, YEAH i feel sorry
1:40:30
Speaker 6: FOR i just missed our sixty degree.
1:40:32
Speaker 4: DAYS i.
1:40:33
Speaker 2: Do it's coming fast, enough fifty two degrees On, wednesdays
1:40:35
Speaker 2: so we're going in the right direction. There maybe the
1:40:37
Speaker 2: maple sap will start flowing again on my tapped maple
1:40:40
Speaker 2: trees because it had stopped there for a couple of.
1:40:42
Speaker 6: Days that's the indicator of spring right.
1:40:44
Speaker 11: THERE i.
1:40:44
Speaker 1: Know oh my, god map so good, Too, Brian oh my,
1:40:48
Speaker 1: god the mapel syrup is.
1:40:49
Speaker 2: Wonderful, anyway something got shot down in Any the constitutional
1:40:53
Speaker 2: scholars that were listening are looking at. This the ones
1:40:55
Speaker 2: who listened to oral arguments from The Supreme court pretty
1:40:58
Speaker 2: much all uniformly Said Donald trump's actions on tariffs are
1:41:02
Speaker 2: going to get shot down as. Unconstitutional of, course they
1:41:04
Speaker 2: were a lot of the major questions doctrine and said,
1:41:06
Speaker 2: Listen congress did not specifically authorize a president under the
1:41:09
Speaker 2: applicable law to levy taxes or. Tariffs it's not. There
1:41:14
Speaker 2: the absence of that means it's a major. Question they
1:41:16
Speaker 2: would have talked about, It they would have put it
1:41:18
Speaker 2: in the language of the statute had they intended.
1:41:20
Speaker 1: It since it's not, there it's.
1:41:21
Speaker 2: Unconstitutional that is a good thing for a lot of
1:41:24
Speaker 2: people who hate the regulatory. State that's that major questions
1:41:27
Speaker 2: decision or from The West virginia VERSUS. Epa, no a
1:41:30
Speaker 2: tablespoon of water is not a navigable, river and you
1:41:33
Speaker 2: can't say it, is even though you want. To they
1:41:35
Speaker 2: didn't give you the express authority to regulate bits of
1:41:38
Speaker 2: water here and. There you need a specific. Authority this
1:41:41
Speaker 2: is the same kind of. Argument so we should be
1:41:44
Speaker 2: rejoicing in this on some level because it keeps the
1:41:47
Speaker 2: administrator from administrative state from. Growing but obviously it really
1:41:50
Speaker 2: shot down a major pillar Of Donald trump's foreign, policy
1:41:53
Speaker 2: held up by his ability to quickly enact or remove.
1:41:56
Speaker 2: Tariffs now they're not there. Anymore, brian what does this?
1:41:59
Speaker 6: Mean, well what it means is more.
1:42:01
Speaker 12: Chaos and what's interesting to me is that the market
1:42:04
Speaker 12: is not reacting at all as we're sitting here right.
1:42:07
Speaker 6: Now futures are down in about a half a. Percent,
1:42:09
Speaker 6: yeah really kind of.
1:42:09
Speaker 12: Nothing and the thinking there is because tariffs are no
1:42:13
Speaker 12: longer shocked tariffs and the chaos that come along with.
1:42:16
Speaker 12: Them that was Last april when we first we first
1:42:19
Speaker 12: started going down this path and levying tariffs on, countries
1:42:22
Speaker 12: and the market dropped nearly twenty percent at that. Time
1:42:26
Speaker 12: ever since, then the dust has kind of, settled the
1:42:28
Speaker 12: parties have sort of kind of staked their opinions, out
1:42:31
Speaker 12: and it's all known. Information so more chaos coming out
1:42:34
Speaker 12: of the tariff discussion is really not that big of
1:42:35
Speaker 12: a deal to the market because it had assumed it
1:42:37
Speaker 12: was going to be, there you, know all the time
1:42:40
Speaker 12: UNTIL i don't, know maybe until this administration shifts out
1:42:43
Speaker 12: or there's another viewpoint or. Whatever but it's not the
1:42:46
Speaker 12: initial cold water shock that it, was and there has
1:42:48
Speaker 12: been no real concrete here's what's going to happen. Next
1:42:52
Speaker 12: all we have said so far is that what has
1:42:54
Speaker 12: happened is, unconstitutional but we haven't said that there going
1:42:57
Speaker 12: to be. Refunds The president has come out and said
1:42:59
Speaker 12: he does have the power to enact these ten percent then, wait,
1:43:02
Speaker 12: no fifteen percent tariffs that can last for one hundred
1:43:05
Speaker 12: and fifty days under.
1:43:07
Speaker 2: A completely set of a different set of laws.
1:43:09
Speaker 12: Exactly, yeah, Right so he could have done this to begin,
1:43:11
Speaker 12: with there wouldn't have been much That congress could have,
1:43:13
Speaker 12: done but the one hundred and fifty day limit kind
1:43:15
Speaker 12: of limits the authority and the bite that that would.
1:43:18
Speaker 12: Have so you, know that's that's why the market's ever
1:43:20
Speaker 12: reacted a whole heck of a, lot because we don't
1:43:22
Speaker 12: know the market doesn't. Like it's always uncertainty that the
1:43:24
Speaker 12: market doesn't. Like that's where we're at right, now because
1:43:27
Speaker 12: there is no concrete can't do this but you must do.
1:43:30
Speaker 2: That all we have is can't do this Right and
1:43:33
Speaker 2: you know this IS i guess uncharted waters because no
1:43:36
Speaker 2: president had ever asserted the ability to implement tariffs based
1:43:40
Speaker 2: upon that particular law before that emergency powers. Declaration so
1:43:45
Speaker 2: we don't know what's going to happen with the tariffs
1:43:47
Speaker 2: that have been lovied already.
1:43:48
Speaker 12: Exactly and that's you, know we have a lot there's
1:43:50
Speaker 12: a lot of cases right now with this administration where
1:43:53
Speaker 12: we all assume The constitution said one, thing administration is
1:43:56
Speaker 12: going in an entirely other direction based off of some
1:43:58
Speaker 12: kind of different interpretation or maybe really no interpretation at
1:44:01
Speaker 12: all sometimes of what's in The constitution and just kind
1:44:04
Speaker 12: of rolling the dice.
1:44:05
Speaker 6: To see what.
1:44:06
Speaker 12: Happens but that even that itself is chaotic as that
1:44:08
Speaker 12: sounds that itself is becoming the.
1:44:10
Speaker 11: Norm.
1:44:11
Speaker 6: UNFORTUNATELY i don't love.
1:44:12
Speaker 12: That but the market doesn't react to these things very,
1:44:14
Speaker 12: passionately and that's that's not a bad. Thing we're gonna
1:44:17
Speaker 12: wait and see mode right, now.
1:44:18
Speaker 2: Right AND i Get trump's wanting to use tariffs as
1:44:22
Speaker 2: a lever to implement the foreign policy and negotiate treaties or,
1:44:25
Speaker 2: arrangement financial rerangements or otherwise with foreign. Countries that is
1:44:29
Speaker 2: within his, power but to within the constitutional, framework as
1:44:33
Speaker 2: we now have confirmed by the, Court congress is going
1:44:37
Speaker 2: to have to enact the tariffs if he threatens. Them
1:44:40
Speaker 2: they're gonna have to be willing to stand behind him
1:44:42
Speaker 2: and do. That you, know they're going to have to
1:44:43
Speaker 2: deliberate on. Her THAT'S i think one of the points
1:44:45
Speaker 2: that you have to have congressional. Action the deliberative process
1:44:48
Speaker 2: is extremely. Important matter of fact That gorsich even pointed
1:44:51
Speaker 2: that out in his. Opinion deliberation tempers impulse and Compromise
1:44:56
Speaker 2: hammer's disagreements into workable. Solutions that has been suspiciously, absent
1:45:00
Speaker 2: and on anything With congress for the LAST i don't.
1:45:03
Speaker 2: Know as long As trump's been, around and they've been
1:45:04
Speaker 2: struggling With trump to arrangement system, syndrome they can't agree
1:45:08
Speaker 2: on anything at. All that's the, PROBLEM i, suppose as
1:45:13
Speaker 2: revealed the robmo of our constitution is revealed by the
1:45:15
Speaker 2: current gridlock we. Face you're not going to get tariffs
1:45:18
Speaker 2: enacted with a very slim majority on either. Party, therefore
1:45:21
Speaker 2: it's sort of a toothless gesture For trump to threaten,
1:45:24
Speaker 2: tariffs at least under the original, structure Because congress wasn't
1:45:27
Speaker 2: going to back them.
1:45:28
Speaker 12: Up, Yeah and that's kind of the, point you, know
1:45:31
Speaker 12: because these are things that can that can of course
1:45:34
Speaker 12: permanently shift trade relations with a lot of the different
1:45:37
Speaker 12: countries that we work.
1:45:38
Speaker 6: With and the slightly scary thing to me is.
1:45:42
Speaker 12: How the international markets have behaved over the last couple
1:45:44
Speaker 12: of years through all of. This if you don't have international,
1:45:46
Speaker 12: stocks and we've talked about this, before but if you
1:45:48
Speaker 12: don't have international stocks in your portfolio to some, extent,
1:45:51
Speaker 12: right we're not saying that the farm on, anything you
1:45:53
Speaker 12: are missing an opportunity because there are relationships being forged
1:45:56
Speaker 12: that probably would not have been, explored but for these, tariffs, right,
1:46:00
Speaker 12: so other countries are, saying you, know if it's going
1:46:02
Speaker 12: to be this difficult to do business with The United,
1:46:05
Speaker 12: states then let's figure out if there are any other
1:46:06
Speaker 12: resources that we can tap into for these different supplies
1:46:10
Speaker 12: and whatever that we. Need and those are those relationships
1:46:13
Speaker 12: are starting to take, root and we're starting to see
1:46:15
Speaker 12: that in the international markets they are outperforming THE us
1:46:18
Speaker 12: markets by far these last couple of.
1:46:19
Speaker 6: Years so hopefully that's a temporary.
1:46:21
Speaker 12: Thing but at the end of the, day if we
1:46:23
Speaker 12: continue to the longer we push this out and the
1:46:27
Speaker 12: longer we want to smack our customers, around then that's
1:46:29
Speaker 12: probably going to have a much more permanent taking of
1:46:32
Speaker 12: route than we might. PREFER i don't know that these
1:46:35
Speaker 12: other countries are necessarily going to line up to do
1:46:37
Speaker 12: business in The United states when the dust settles and
1:46:39
Speaker 12: we finally have a clear trade policy out.
1:46:40
Speaker 2: There, WELL i guess, curious like on a post mortem,
1:46:43
Speaker 2: basis since that, particular those, particular that particular avenue of
1:46:47
Speaker 2: tariffs has been foreclosed by The Supreme, court do we
1:46:50
Speaker 2: ever do we know right now as we sit here
1:46:53
Speaker 2: reflecting back on the, tariffs who actually ultimately paid. Them
1:46:56
Speaker 2: was this something that you AND i shoulder the burden.
1:46:58
Speaker 2: On is this part of the inflationary reality or did
1:47:01
Speaker 2: we listen to the other side of the, argument which is,
1:47:02
Speaker 2: no the other countries ended up paying. It we got
1:47:04
Speaker 2: a much better deal overall because the tariffs were in.
1:47:06
Speaker 2: PLACE i don't see how.
1:47:08
Speaker 12: The advast majority have not been paid by the by
1:47:11
Speaker 12: The american, consumer because if you think about how it,
1:47:13
Speaker 12: works If i'm going to go buy something From, Costco
1:47:15
Speaker 12: costco has to then they're going to import some you,
1:47:18
Speaker 12: know box fans or something like. That, well all that
1:47:20
Speaker 12: stuff is made, overseas and the tariff is is imposed
1:47:25
Speaker 12: when the stuff hits the. Shore that's On costco's end of.
1:47:28
Speaker 12: It costco is either going to eat it or they're
1:47:30
Speaker 12: going to pass it along in the form of. Pricing
1:47:31
Speaker 12: And i'm Mentioning costco specifically because they were among the
1:47:34
Speaker 12: very very very very very first to file the paperwork
1:47:38
Speaker 12: for potential refunds when this first came, up because of
1:47:40
Speaker 12: their opinion is that this isn't gonna hold, Water it's
1:47:43
Speaker 12: gonna all come. Apart let's be at the front of the.
1:47:45
Speaker 12: Line SO i cannot believe that most of these have
1:47:49
Speaker 12: not been paid ultimately by The american, consumer because that's
1:47:52
Speaker 12: just how the math. Works the prices get increased along
1:47:54
Speaker 12: the way as the suppliers get what they need in
1:47:57
Speaker 12: order to deliver to the.
1:47:57
Speaker 2: Consumer, yeah obviously all this brought about by, globalization which
1:48:00
Speaker 2: has been going on for decades and. DECADES i, mean
1:48:02
Speaker 2: this IS i think fundamentally a use. Tax you, know
1:48:05
Speaker 2: if you want to buy foreign, goods then go, Ahead
1:48:08
Speaker 2: you're gonna pay more for. Them you're gonna pay more
1:48:10
Speaker 2: because you went with a foreign. Company choose The american,
1:48:13
Speaker 2: alternative which is not gonna go along with this extra
1:48:16
Speaker 2: tax you're paying because the tariff problem is there probably
1:48:19
Speaker 2: isn't A us made, product.
1:48:22
Speaker 5: Right.
1:48:24
Speaker 2: That wasn't in the brochure about Terra if the longer
1:48:26
Speaker 2: term strategy that you want to have bring up brought
1:48:29
Speaker 2: about at least a lot of people are trying to
1:48:31
Speaker 2: achieve that dejective reshore if manufacturing into The United states
1:48:34
Speaker 2: to give us these teriff free. Alternatives, sadly that just
1:48:37
Speaker 2: that that infrastructure isn't in, place because it's kind of
1:48:40
Speaker 2: like you can make a parallel to the grid situation
1:48:42
Speaker 2: electric electric. Electric, yeah but we don't have the grid
1:48:45
Speaker 2: to support the Electric that's an important, detail, Right, yeah
1:48:50
Speaker 2: extremely important.
1:48:50
Speaker 1: Detail Brian. James it's it's.
1:48:52
Speaker 12: One thing to show the outline of if we impose,
1:48:55
Speaker 12: tariffs then down the road jobs will magically appear onshore
1:48:58
Speaker 12: here in The United, states but it's another thing entirely
1:49:00
Speaker 12: for that to actually. Occur, so, yeah there have been
1:49:03
Speaker 12: some example since twenty TWE us manufacturing construction spending is
1:49:07
Speaker 12: more than, doubled just driven by these, semiconductors EV's, batteries
1:49:10
Speaker 12: those kinds of. Things tariffs were part of, that but
1:49:12
Speaker 12: also industrial, policy the Old Chips, Act Inflation Reduction act
1:49:16
Speaker 12: that helped as, well but that has not spread that
1:49:19
Speaker 12: that's the clearest example where we can say of the
1:49:21
Speaker 12: impact of. Tariff's manufacturing jobs though have not structurally. Exploded
1:49:26
Speaker 12: we haven't seen, employment and manufacturing employment is higher than
1:49:29
Speaker 12: pre pandemic, levels but it's still well below the late.
1:49:31
Speaker 12: Nineties automations starting offset these labor, gains and a lot
1:49:35
Speaker 12: of reshort facilities are really highly automated and not creating
1:49:39
Speaker 12: as many. Jobs so we're not seeing this impact. Yet
1:49:42
Speaker 12: maybe fingers crossed the state the stay, optimistic but we
1:49:46
Speaker 12: are not yet seeing identical impact.
1:49:48
Speaker 6: Of job, creation which is supposedly what all this was.
1:49:51
Speaker 12: About if we make it expensive to drag stuff on
1:49:53
Speaker 12: shore so we can buy, it that will encourage companies
1:49:56
Speaker 12: to create things. Here BUT i think that assumes that
1:49:59
Speaker 12: labor costs and all these other things that we have
1:50:01
Speaker 12: to do in The United states are exactly the same
1:50:03
Speaker 12: as everywhere. Else businesses are not seeing the profit opportunity
1:50:06
Speaker 12: unfortunately that that this administration thinks is out.
1:50:08
Speaker 2: There Brian james will continue and this is a puzzle to.
1:50:11
Speaker 2: Me no idea in next subject, matter democratizing access to
1:50:15
Speaker 2: alternative assets for four oh one k. Investors there's a.
1:50:18
Speaker 2: Mouthful it's A i guess an executive. Order Brian james
1:50:21
Speaker 2: gonna explain that to us.
1:50:22
Speaker 1: Coming to talk Station.
1:50:25
Speaker 2: Hey nineteen if it's about their ceed talk station all
1:50:28
Speaker 2: with Financials Brian james Every monday for, money money to
1:50:32
Speaker 2: getting at eight oh five get it for a few
1:50:33
Speaker 2: segments and pivoting over to all, right we're gonna have
1:50:35
Speaker 2: to find out what an alternative asset. Is but executive
1:50:39
Speaker 2: order characterizes democratizing access to alternative assets for four to
1:50:42
Speaker 2: one k. Investors this sounds like expanding opportunities for. Investment Brian.
1:50:47
Speaker 6: James, Yeah now this isn't new. News we talked about
1:50:49
Speaker 6: this last.
1:50:50
Speaker 12: Summer we're at a second step of, this really the executive,
1:50:54
Speaker 12: order and that's the thing we sent you this, morning
1:50:56
Speaker 12: the executive orders From august, seventh and basically that made
1:50:59
Speaker 12: it poly see that four oh ONE k and other
1:51:01
Speaker 12: defined contribution. Plans this is an important, word should be
1:51:05
Speaker 12: allowed to include alternative assets if the plan fiduciaries decide
1:51:09
Speaker 12: that that's an appropriate thing for that specific.
1:51:11
Speaker 6: Plan plan.
1:51:11
Speaker 12: Fiduciaries those people exist in each and every. Company this
1:51:15
Speaker 12: is an individual employer. Decision this isn't a you, know
1:51:19
Speaker 12: the The United states government cannot force plans to offer.
1:51:21
Speaker 12: This that's why we use the word. Should but, anyway
1:51:24
Speaker 12: that's not. News what we're talking about here is the
1:51:28
Speaker 12: where we are within the. Timeframe so we are now
1:51:30
Speaker 12: at one hundred and eighty days past the initial.
1:51:32
Speaker 6: Announcement, yeah.
1:51:34
Speaker 12: Exactly so what was required the executive order was that
1:51:39
Speaker 12: within one hundred and eighty, days The department Of labor
1:51:41
Speaker 12: should re examine and clarify fiduciary duty guidance for, again
1:51:44
Speaker 12: for those individual employers under THE Arisa act and and
1:51:48
Speaker 12: propose rules and, guidance including some safe, harbors basically saying
1:51:54
Speaker 12: here's what you can and cannot do with these. Things
1:51:56
Speaker 12: and so we are at the point where we've got
1:51:58
Speaker 12: the first, proposal and by the, WAY i think we
1:51:59
Speaker 12: kind of got over we're talking about alternative. Assets these
1:52:02
Speaker 12: are private market. Investments that's as opposed to public public
1:52:05
Speaker 12: means stocks and mutual. Funds private market investments are literally
1:52:09
Speaker 12: the purchasing of, individual standalone companies as an, investment real,
1:52:14
Speaker 12: estate real estate, debt as, well, commodities just different things
1:52:18
Speaker 12: beyond your standard index based. Investments so we're at the
1:52:21
Speaker 12: point now where that guidance is being.
1:52:24
Speaker 2: Released how does one? GO i mean complicated as it,
1:52:28
Speaker 2: is at least from my, Perspective Brian. James this is
1:52:30
Speaker 2: out of my, Element i'll, Admit but how does one
1:52:32
Speaker 2: acquire if it's not a stock you're, buying how does
1:52:35
Speaker 2: an individual like you or myself or anybody else for
1:52:38
Speaker 2: that matter acquire part of a? Company sure it.
1:52:42
Speaker 12: Is it is simpler and more complicated than you might.
1:52:45
Speaker 12: Think so if you're driving up and down the street
1:52:47
Speaker 12: and you see that that little vet, clinic or maybe
1:52:49
Speaker 12: THAT hvac repair man that's been in that little house,
1:52:52
Speaker 12: forever now all of a sudden has a flashy new
1:52:55
Speaker 12: sign and some kind of marketing campaign that goes with.
1:52:57
Speaker 12: It that very frequently means that there's a private equity
1:53:00
Speaker 12: investor behind. That private equity is simply a gigantic pile
1:53:04
Speaker 12: of money that comes in and buys up little businesses
1:53:07
Speaker 12: and knits them together for the purposes of economies of scale.
1:53:10
Speaker 12: Serve for, example maybe THAT hvac repairman needs a lot
1:53:13
Speaker 12: of supplies and. Things, well you could buy ten of
1:53:15
Speaker 12: those different, little tiny companies and then begin to negotiate
1:53:19
Speaker 12: different contracts with the suppliers for the sheet metal and
1:53:21
Speaker 12: all the other stuff and get a better. Deal that's
1:53:23
Speaker 12: just The american. Way that's business becoming more efficient in increasing.
1:53:27
Speaker 2: Profit, now that's a private, company not a publicly traded.
1:53:30
Speaker 2: Company so once you, are we're, there we appreciate the
1:53:33
Speaker 2: concept you're talking. About so the buying of a share
1:53:36
Speaker 2: or a part of that business in order to reap
1:53:38
Speaker 2: the benefits of their.
1:53:38
Speaker 1: Profit how does that? Happen?
1:53:40
Speaker 6: Correct now that that's what we're talking.
1:53:41
Speaker 12: About, see these remain private, investments, right there's still these
1:53:44
Speaker 12: aren't public traded. Publicly these are partnerships that exist no
1:53:48
Speaker 12: different than you and your neighbor could get together and
1:53:50
Speaker 12: create a partnership and go buy these little.
1:53:52
Speaker 6: Companies that's all this, is but it's being.
1:53:55
Speaker 12: Offered it's almost sort of in a gray area that
1:53:58
Speaker 12: the grouping of those companies is of being made, public
1:54:01
Speaker 12: and that's really a convoluted way to explain. It but
1:54:03
Speaker 12: basically grouping these together and marketing them and inviting larger
1:54:07
Speaker 12: piles of. Money remember there's twelve trillion dollars out there
1:54:11
Speaker 12: in the four oh ONE k FOUR h THREE b.
1:54:12
Speaker 12: Space of course these different investment groups would like to
1:54:16
Speaker 12: get access to those. Funds that's the same thing that
1:54:18
Speaker 12: drove the stock market from the late seventies when the
1:54:20
Speaker 12: four oh ONE k was first invented and permitted to
1:54:23
Speaker 12: invest in the equities, markets when pensions were eliminated and
1:54:26
Speaker 12: there was an enormous amount of interest with In, okay
1:54:28
Speaker 12: IF i don't have a, pension THEN i need to
1:54:30
Speaker 12: do something to grow my. Money and that's where the
1:54:32
Speaker 12: fifty years stock market boom largely stemmed from. That we've
1:54:36
Speaker 12: been in this is just another iteration of. That so
1:54:38
Speaker 12: now we're taking these retirement, dollars and we are allowing
1:54:41
Speaker 12: them to basically go purchase that teeny tiny little bakery
1:54:44
Speaker 12: down the road that might, be you, know providing a
1:54:47
Speaker 12: decent profit. Margin basically saying, that, yes you are permitted
1:54:50
Speaker 12: to invest in other things beyond THE p and g's
1:54:52
Speaker 12: and the facebooks and the apples of the.
1:54:53
Speaker 6: World how is your new?
1:54:55
Speaker 2: Clock how is your ownership interest expressed as in the
1:54:57
Speaker 2: form of a contract as opposed to a, Share LIKE
1:55:00
Speaker 2: i want a slice of that, Action i'm going to
1:55:02
Speaker 2: have to enter it into some sort of agreement SO
1:55:03
Speaker 2: i know That i'm entitled to get whatever percentage of
1:55:06
Speaker 2: profits that they.
1:55:07
Speaker 12: Turn oh, Sure SO i think there's two different. Questions
1:55:09
Speaker 12: there are two different conversations we're having. Here to answer
1:55:12
Speaker 12: your question, directly this would be something where you're literally
1:55:15
Speaker 12: sitting down and you are signing a contract that you
1:55:17
Speaker 12: are purchasing a percentage share of a. Partnership, right that's
1:55:21
Speaker 12: pure private. Equity that's just two people getting together, Saying,
1:55:24
Speaker 12: HEY i have a. THING i want to buy a
1:55:25
Speaker 12: chunk of that. Thing what this is doing and it's
1:55:27
Speaker 12: right there in the name of the. Thing The White
1:55:29
Speaker 12: house released democratizing four oh ONE k. Investments this is
1:55:33
Speaker 12: putting it in a format where you won't be jumping
1:55:35
Speaker 12: through the, hoops you won't be signing those contracts because
1:55:37
Speaker 12: there's a middleman who has done it for. You exact
1:55:40
Speaker 12: same structure is when people first learned about mutual funds
1:55:43
Speaker 12: from at a wide scale in the sixties and. Seventies
1:55:45
Speaker 12: you're not buying individual, Stocks you're buying something that will
1:55:47
Speaker 12: do it for. You that's the same, structure but right
1:55:50
Speaker 12: now there's no legal infrastructure in. Place that's the discussion
1:55:53
Speaker 12: we're having right, now how do you actually make this?
1:55:55
Speaker 2: Happen and the person that would make that happen would
1:55:57
Speaker 2: be the planed fiduciary plan.
1:56:00
Speaker 12: Fiduciary that's somebody who generally works for or or or
1:56:03
Speaker 12: supports your. Employer, uh you, know this could be your
1:56:06
Speaker 12: your your company might have like a four to oh
1:56:08
Speaker 12: one k discussion group or a four oh ONE k fiducial,
1:56:11
Speaker 12: group whatever investment, committee and they are the ones who
1:56:15
Speaker 12: decide we will offer this mutual, fund but not that.
1:56:17
Speaker 12: One and they'll soon be discussing we will offer this
1:56:20
Speaker 12: private equity, solution or this this private debt, solution not that.
1:56:23
Speaker 12: One those are people who purely support your company in
1:56:26
Speaker 12: making those. Decisions guess who's behind the construction of all
1:56:29
Speaker 12: of these different, partnerships all the major financial, Institutions so
1:56:33
Speaker 12: make make no bones about. It that's where this is coming.
1:56:35
Speaker 12: From this is an opportunity for big financial institutions to
1:56:39
Speaker 12: tap into a pile of money to which they have
1:56:41
Speaker 12: not had access before for these types of alternative, assets.
1:56:44
Speaker 1: And they'll presumably then be doing uh what.
1:56:47
Speaker 6: Hanging, money charge, charging charging.
1:56:49
Speaker 2: Admission that's, right all that comes down to because this
1:56:52
Speaker 2: clearly is going to result in more work to be.
1:56:54
Speaker 1: Done oh of course.
1:56:55
Speaker 12: ABSOLUTELY i don't think it's necessarily a bad. THING i,
1:56:58
Speaker 12: mean private equity is not a new investment in class at.
1:57:00
Speaker 12: All it's been around for you, know for. Centuries, really
1:57:04
Speaker 12: it's just not relying on a public market to introduce
1:57:06
Speaker 12: the buyer to the, seller that's all it. Is but
1:57:09
Speaker 12: that's that's where the bridge is being built between to
1:57:12
Speaker 12: provide easier access to the end, investor which nowadays can
1:57:16
Speaker 12: be your average, consumer your average four to ONE k,
1:57:19
Speaker 12: participant versus somebody who just has a gigantic pile of
1:57:22
Speaker 12: money and can afford to buy these little companies on their.
1:57:24
Speaker 2: Own well might a poor fiduciary. Suggestion in other, words,
1:57:27
Speaker 2: yeah this is a great. Idea we're going to open
1:57:29
Speaker 2: it up for your, investments and that didn't work out real.
1:57:31
Speaker 2: Well will there analysis along the fiduciary lines and whether
1:57:35
Speaker 2: it's an appropriate investment or not be challenged later in
1:57:37
Speaker 2: court to the extent somebody loses a whole bunch of, Money.
1:57:40
Speaker 12: Oh, Absolutely and that's what the fiduciary is there to.
1:57:43
Speaker 12: Do they're the ones who make the. Decision so a
1:57:45
Speaker 12: lot of people don't know, this but your employer takes
1:57:47
Speaker 12: a fiduciary role by purely offering a four to one
1:57:50
Speaker 12: k to begin.
1:57:50
Speaker 6: With, so and that means your company can be.
1:57:53
Speaker 12: Exposed maybe you make widgets and they roll down a
1:57:55
Speaker 12: conveyor belt that's the primary profit driver for the. Business,
1:57:58
Speaker 12: well they have to have this little side entity that
1:58:01
Speaker 12: worries about whether they are making the right decisions for
1:58:03
Speaker 12: their employees or. Not they're exposed there, too just as
1:58:06
Speaker 12: much as they are exposed if their, widgets.
1:58:08
Speaker 6: You, know do some damage to. Somebody so this is
1:58:11
Speaker 6: not going to be a quick. Thing the rules and
1:58:12
Speaker 6: all that aren't even out.
1:58:13
Speaker 12: There, really the reason we're talking about it today is
1:58:16
Speaker 12: because we've got the first iteration of that.
1:58:18
Speaker 6: Guidance it's going to change a.
1:58:19
Speaker 12: Lot so don't look at your four to one k
1:58:22
Speaker 12: right now for these for these, options they're not there.
1:58:24
Speaker 12: Yet the guidance is going to have to come out
1:58:26
Speaker 12: and your investment committee of your employer is going to
1:58:29
Speaker 12: have to decide, that, yes this is a good thing
1:58:30
Speaker 12: we should offer our.
1:58:31
Speaker 6: Employees so something to pay attention. To but it's still
1:58:34
Speaker 6: a bit on the.
1:58:34
Speaker 2: Horizon, well we do like options out here in the.
1:58:36
Speaker 2: World and Apparently blackrock has also confirmed that we're going
1:58:39
Speaker 2: to be talking about the Black Rock Retirement survey With Brian.
1:58:42
Speaker 2: James don't go. Away this was your, Week Reverend Jesse.
1:58:46
Speaker 2: Jackson get, yeah it's a thirty fifty five kter Ceed
1:58:50
Speaker 2: talk Station, Money money With Brian.
1:58:51
Speaker 1: James one more segment here With.
1:58:53
Speaker 2: Brian Apparently american investors like, choice at least that's what
1:58:56
Speaker 2: The Blackrock Retirement survey suggests FROM i cursory reading of.
1:59:01
Speaker 1: It Brian.
1:59:02
Speaker 12: James, yeah so this is coming from a Black rock
1:59:04
Speaker 12: survey that was conducted not long, ago right at the
1:59:06
Speaker 12: end Of, january and go, Figure americans want broader retirement.
1:59:10
Speaker 12: Tools another not earth shattering our conclusion from this is
1:59:13
Speaker 12: that people aren't financially. PREPARED i think we know the
1:59:16
Speaker 12: we want we want to ask that, question you, know
1:59:18
Speaker 12: every every six months or, so just to make sure
1:59:20
Speaker 12: everybody feels that there's a, train you, know still closing
1:59:23
Speaker 12: down on. Them but in any, case so some of
1:59:25
Speaker 12: the questions they asked about about two thirds OF us
1:59:28
Speaker 12: registered voters support expanding retirement plan options to include private market.
1:59:32
Speaker 12: Assets and this goes back to what we were just, talking,
1:59:34
Speaker 12: right you know that that that is starting to, Happen
1:59:37
Speaker 12: the discussions are happening out there to allow for, that you,
1:59:40
Speaker 12: know and that same two thirds that say that retirement
1:59:43
Speaker 12: plan should have equal access to investment. Options whether they're,
1:59:45
Speaker 12: government nonprofit or, corporate doesn't really. Matter the interesting part
1:59:49
Speaker 12: of this is this is. Bipartisan so about two two
1:59:51
Speaker 12: thirds of, everybody two thirds Of, republicans two thirds Of,
1:59:54
Speaker 12: independents and two thirds Of democrats.
1:59:56
Speaker 6: All agree that this is a good.
1:59:57
Speaker 12: Idea so SO i think this is just a conclud
2:00:00
Speaker 12: usion where we can, say, yes people are looking at
2:00:02
Speaker 12: what their options are there understanding that the market has
2:00:04
Speaker 12: kind of moved and there's different things out.
2:00:06
Speaker 2: There, well you mentioned in context of the last second
2:00:08
Speaker 2: with alternative asset, investment that the plan fiduciary would be
2:00:12
Speaker 2: the one responsible for determining whether or not they would
2:00:14
Speaker 2: allow investment any to give an alternative. Asset but you,
2:00:18
Speaker 2: KNOW i read something which is of course in the
2:00:20
Speaker 2: Black Rock, survey for, example a certain pensions plans for
2:00:22
Speaker 2: government workers invest in options not available to plans provided
2:00:26
Speaker 2: to employees through for profit or non for profit.
2:00:28
Speaker 1: Companies WHEN i.
2:00:29
Speaker 2: Read something like, that it just makes me, wonder, well
2:00:31
Speaker 2: how do we end up with a system where some
2:00:34
Speaker 2: can and some. Can't that just seems to be fundamentally.
2:00:37
Speaker 2: Unfair you're you're just you're limited by virtue of where
2:00:39
Speaker 2: you are in the, world and why wouldn't we all
2:00:41
Speaker 2: have access to the same kind of.
2:00:42
Speaker 12: Thing, WELL i think that goes that goes down to
2:00:45
Speaker 12: what you just, mentioned that fiduciary decision making body that
2:00:48
Speaker 12: exists for each four oh one k they can choose
2:00:52
Speaker 12: to offer this and not offer. THAT i think what
2:00:54
Speaker 12: that refers to is there are some federal benefits out.
2:00:56
Speaker 12: There they're just better than what the rest of the you,
2:00:59
Speaker 12: know demock critized society can get a hold of AND
2:01:02
Speaker 12: i think it goes back to that's The american, way
2:01:04
Speaker 12: h pick your poison there there if if the federal
2:01:07
Speaker 12: government funds a lot of, this so we basically buy
2:01:09
Speaker 12: the by the process of putting people in place as are.
2:01:12
Speaker 12: Representatives they are the ones who choose what federal benefits
2:01:15
Speaker 12: for federal, employees what that looks. Like they've got an
2:01:18
Speaker 12: awful lot of money with which they can do that
2:01:20
Speaker 12: versus an individual you, know company can only offer what's
2:01:24
Speaker 12: available to.
2:01:25
Speaker 3: It it can.
2:01:25
Speaker 12: Fund you, know individual companies can can throw out a
2:01:27
Speaker 12: lot of benefits if they want, to if they've got
2:01:29
Speaker 12: the money to support. It but nobody is forced to
2:01:32
Speaker 12: use one set of. Benefits and you, know SO i
2:01:35
Speaker 12: guess it kind of goes both. Ways maybe the federal
2:01:38
Speaker 12: benefits are, bigger are better in some cases because there's
2:01:41
Speaker 12: simply more money with which to build. It but on
2:01:43
Speaker 12: the other, hand there's a lot of people out there
2:01:45
Speaker 12: who would object to the notion that the federal government
2:01:47
Speaker 12: is going to tell me WHAT i can and cannot,
2:01:49
Speaker 12: offer you, know without giving me any say. Whatsoever the
2:01:53
Speaker 12: downside of that, is now we've got these little fiduciary
2:01:55
Speaker 12: groups inside of each employer who has to make those.
2:01:58
Speaker 2: Decisions fair, enough that's the way the system is, designed
2:02:01
Speaker 2: Although i'm still puzzling over how it is that, way
2:02:04
Speaker 2: but everybody seems to be in FAIR a lot of
2:02:06
Speaker 2: people in favor of child saving. Accounts whether or not
2:02:08
Speaker 2: you Think trump has it within his authority to create
2:02:10
Speaker 2: one thousand dollars savings accounts for certain people but not,
2:02:12
Speaker 2: others the concept of child savings accounts is widely. Embraced
2:02:17
Speaker 2: why wouldn't you have a tax advantage investment account for your?
2:02:19
Speaker 1: Children, well, see this is.
2:02:21
Speaker 12: WHERE i think the first of, all these don't exist.
2:02:23
Speaker 12: Yet we don't have the ability to invest in them.
2:02:25
Speaker 12: Yet AND i would argue, nowadays you already do have
2:02:27
Speaker 12: a tax advantage account you can set up for your.
2:02:30
Speaker 12: Kids that's a five twenty nine place right and, now
2:02:32
Speaker 12: especially now that they change the rules to allow for
2:02:35
Speaker 12: to allow it to become roth contributions down the, road
2:02:38
Speaker 12: so you can start investing now for something that will
2:02:40
Speaker 12: be permanently tax free for a newborn sixty five years.
2:02:43
Speaker 12: Later These trump child savings, ACCOUNTS i think the attraction
2:02:46
Speaker 12: right now is the federal seed. Money so they're being
2:02:49
Speaker 12: proposed that one thousand dollars for any child born within
2:02:53
Speaker 12: the Second trump. Administration these types of accounts will continue past,
2:02:57
Speaker 12: that but the federal seed money doesn't, exist doesn't ass
2:03:00
Speaker 12: exists on into the. Future i'm struggling a little bit
2:03:03
Speaker 12: to get excited about these. Things there's not a ton
2:03:05
Speaker 12: of money that is that is allowed to go into
2:03:08
Speaker 12: these that offsets the fact that it's going to be.
2:03:12
Speaker 12: TAXED i, mean beyond the original money that comes from
2:03:15
Speaker 12: the federal government that is. Free, yes you're allowed to
2:03:17
Speaker 12: put your own dollars, in but it's going to be
2:03:19
Speaker 12: taxed in the future when that child pulls it out
2:03:22
Speaker 12: like account, Correct, yeah, Yeah and that's not unlike a custodial.
2:03:26
Speaker 12: Account it's not that. Different so these aren't magical accounts
2:03:29
Speaker 12: that somehow provide some financial benefit beyond that thousand.
2:03:32
Speaker 6: Dollars i'm not you know that thousand bucks a thousand.
2:03:34
Speaker 12: Bucks but we're still talking about, Investments we're still talking
2:03:37
Speaker 12: about Tax i'm still preferential to leaning toward the five
2:03:41
Speaker 12: twenty nine side supported by The wroth option in the,
2:03:43
Speaker 12: future because that can be purely tax. Free If i'm
2:03:46
Speaker 12: looking for something for when they're, sixteen eighteen years. OLD
2:03:49
Speaker 12: i might just keep those dollars in my own, name
2:03:50
Speaker 12: and when it's time to buy a car or, WHATEVER
2:03:52
Speaker 12: i can do that out of my own. Dollars it
2:03:54
Speaker 12: doesn't have to have been first in their. Name i'm
2:03:56
Speaker 12: not excited about the benefits of this.
2:03:57
Speaker 2: Yet, no and doubling down on depressing you finally get
2:04:00
Speaker 2: to retirement and emergency savings, issues And i'd say it's
2:04:03
Speaker 2: a pretty substantial. Issue thirty percent OF us registered voters
2:04:06
Speaker 2: have zero dollars in retirement.
2:04:09
Speaker 1: Savings.
2:04:09
Speaker 2: Zero AND i write a statistic the other, Day, brian
2:04:11
Speaker 2: and you can correct me If i'm, Wrong and if
2:04:13
Speaker 2: you saw, it Average american is something like nine hundred
2:04:16
Speaker 2: and fifty bucks save for. Retirement, YEAH i, mean and
2:04:18
Speaker 2: if you're you're talking about everybody under the. Sun remember
2:04:21
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people outside our various social bubbles.
2:04:24
Speaker 6: Who are living, very very very different.
2:04:26
Speaker 12: Lives and we don't tend across pass all that, much,
2:04:28
Speaker 12: Right so you're talking every person under the sun that you're,
2:04:30
Speaker 12: seeing every every homeless person out. There we're just dividing this,
2:04:33
Speaker 12: across you, know the entire. Population, yeah most people don't
2:04:36
Speaker 12: have don't have squat and that that is a major.
2:04:39
Speaker 12: Problem but it's not something that we've chosen to do much.
2:04:41
Speaker 12: About we've chosen to you, know it's a it's a
2:04:44
Speaker 12: merit based you, know a merit based opportunity here and
2:04:48
Speaker 12: good bad are indifferent Those that's how we structure our.
2:04:51
Speaker 12: Benefits if you can get yourself educated and can get
2:04:54
Speaker 12: yourself a good, career.
2:04:55
Speaker 6: Then you're going to do.
2:04:56
Speaker 12: Okay if you can't fight your way out of that,
2:04:58
Speaker 12: system then you may be. There and that's who we're
2:05:01
Speaker 12: talking about that has the nine hundred.
2:05:02
Speaker 2: And fifty bucks and stuck means you are LIVING i,
2:05:04
Speaker 2: mean assuming you contributed to it at some. Point Social
2:05:07
Speaker 2: security is what's going to pay your rent when you're.
2:05:09
Speaker 2: Retired this is the canary in a coal, Mine, Brian
2:05:11
Speaker 2: i've been screaming about So security like everybody else who's
2:05:14
Speaker 2: paying attention to. IT i, mean it's set for. COLLAPSE
2:05:16
Speaker 2: i mean they never got like an end date on
2:05:18
Speaker 2: it where the money coming out is going to be
2:05:19
Speaker 2: far more than the money coming.
2:05:20
Speaker 1: In it's set up for.
2:05:22
Speaker 2: Disasters so if you have nothing and you're not capable
2:05:24
Speaker 2: of preparing for yourself in the, future that's what you're defaulting.
2:05:28
Speaker 2: To and that's a problem that needs to be fixed
2:05:30
Speaker 2: and has desperately been screaming for a fix for as
2:05:32
Speaker 2: long AS.
2:05:33
Speaker 12: I can, remember, right and we have yet to see
2:05:35
Speaker 12: a politician on either side of the aisle champion it
2:05:38
Speaker 12: and say that here's how we're going to fix social.
2:05:40
Speaker 12: Security and my personal belief is that that's because there
2:05:42
Speaker 12: is no way to position that as anything but a
2:05:45
Speaker 12: sacrifice by. Somebody we either need to lower benefits on
2:05:48
Speaker 12: future retirees or increase taxes on current, workers end of.
2:05:52
Speaker 12: Story there's a million ways those can be, done but
2:05:54
Speaker 12: those are the two levers we can, pull and that's
2:05:56
Speaker 12: a sacrifice nobody. Benefits there's nothing the way we can
2:05:59
Speaker 12: say it's happy story for. Everybody so therefore no politician
2:06:02
Speaker 12: is going to attach their wagon to it and then
2:06:04
Speaker 12: try to run for.
2:06:04
Speaker 2: Reelection and then factor into SOMETHING i always been worried
2:06:09
Speaker 2: about with that four oh ONE k being taxed as
2:06:11
Speaker 2: the money gets pulled, Out do you know what the
2:06:13
Speaker 2: tax is going to be when you start pulling the money?
2:06:15
Speaker 1: Out of course.
2:06:15
Speaker 12: Not, yeah we definitely don't know that you knew what
2:06:17
Speaker 12: the tax was when you took the. Deduction you can
2:06:19
Speaker 12: look at the current taxier's bracket and calculate exactly how
2:06:22
Speaker 12: much you're, saving but you can't guess at how much
2:06:25
Speaker 12: you're going to be paying in the. Future and what
2:06:26
Speaker 12: you're referring to Is Social security and a few other
2:06:29
Speaker 12: big things are unfunded obligations that means we don't budget for.
2:06:32
Speaker 12: Them so even though we can't make our budget, anyway
2:06:35
Speaker 12: there's still a lot of stuff that we're not even
2:06:36
Speaker 12: accounting for in. It so what you're kind of hinting
2:06:38
Speaker 12: at is the only way we're gonna be able to
2:06:40
Speaker 12: pay these bills is by someday probably raising. Taxes so
2:06:43
Speaker 12: somebody with millions of dollars in a pre tax four
2:06:46
Speaker 12: oh one k is a little bit of a sitting.
2:06:47
Speaker 12: Duck you're already kind of a sitting duck, anyway because
2:06:49
Speaker 12: at age seventy three or seventy five you're gonna have
2:06:51
Speaker 12: to take require minimum distributions.
2:06:53
Speaker 6: And pay those. Taxes so what should you do about?
2:06:56
Speaker 12: This start learning about the roth side and maybe let
2:06:58
Speaker 12: go of the notion That i'm in the HIGHEST i
2:07:00
Speaker 12: there THEREFORE i need all the tax BENEFITS i can.
2:07:02
Speaker 12: Get right, NOW i know a lot of happy people
2:07:04
Speaker 12: who are happy because they have two different piles of
2:07:07
Speaker 12: money in, retirement A wroth pile and a pretext.
2:07:09
Speaker 2: Pile, Oh Brian, james IF i can only turn back
2:07:12
Speaker 2: the wheels of time and elect A wroth option as
2:07:14
Speaker 2: opposed to the four oh one k traditional That i'm. In,
2:07:17
Speaker 2: Sadly i'm closer to retirement now THAN i ever, was
2:07:20
Speaker 2: AND i think it's a little rate to well unring the.
2:07:23
Speaker 6: Bell, yeah, WELL i Mean i'm sort of.
2:07:26
Speaker 12: Similar you, Know i'm a little bit behind, you But
2:07:27
Speaker 12: i'm sort of similar in terms of probably the highest
2:07:30
Speaker 12: Bracket i'll ever. See But i'm consciously deciding to go
2:07:32
Speaker 12: ahead and pay the taxes on a portion of it
2:07:34
Speaker 12: BECAUSE i want to have a decent sized pile of
2:07:36
Speaker 12: tax free money along alongside my pile of pre tax
2:07:39
Speaker 12: dollars for that exact, reason then there's no other way
2:07:42
Speaker 12: to get there than just by eating the taxes, Nowadays
2:07:45
Speaker 12: but if you're talking about, roth you're talking about dollars
2:07:47
Speaker 12: that are probably going to sit there for decades well
2:07:50
Speaker 12: into your, retirement if not get inherited by your.
2:07:52
Speaker 1: Kids Tex Brian.
2:07:53
Speaker 2: James thanks to t All Worth financial for learning out
2:07:55
Speaker 2: AS i always appreciate you shining light on what's going on,
2:07:57
Speaker 2: here and the financial world will do it again Next.
2:07:59

Speaker 6: Then, yes they're having to have a good. Day stay.
2:08:02
Speaker 2: Warm thanks brother you two eight forty here fifty. Five
2:08:05
Speaker 2: care see the talk station phone lines were you got
2:08:07
Speaker 2: some relatives down there one of the. Resorts you might
2:08:09
Speaker 2: want to be worried about, them because some real problems.
2:08:12
Speaker 2: Unfolding it's, like, uh, well anytime a giant vacuum unfolds
2:08:18
Speaker 2: in the power, structure somebody else is going to go
2:08:20
Speaker 2: in to try, to you, know soak it up and take.
2:08:22
Speaker 2: Over and that clearly is what's going on right. Now
2:08:25
Speaker 2: just remember all this was done really at the behest
2:08:27
Speaker 2: Of Donald. Trump he threatened to Invade mexico to take
2:08:30
Speaker 2: care of the drug. CARTELS i, mean he negotiated a
2:08:32
Speaker 2: trade deal With mexico involving big tariffs shot down recently
2:08:36
Speaker 2: because he was trying to stop the fentanyl from flowing
2:08:38
Speaker 2: into The United states Of. America and lo and, Behold
2:08:41
Speaker 2: President shinbaum didn't want to, help but has gone and.
2:08:44
Speaker 1: Taken it on.
2:08:44
Speaker 2: Herself And i'll applaud her for. That this is a
2:08:47
Speaker 2: military style. OPERATION i, mean they used Their Air force
2:08:52
Speaker 2: to deal with these drug. Cartels and of course the
2:08:54
Speaker 2: drug cartels are revealing the strength and the power that
2:08:57
Speaker 2: they have and their own hardware that's been pulled out,
2:09:00
Speaker 2: here including like surfaced air missiles and all this kind
2:09:02
Speaker 2: of Stuff i'm reading. About So i'm hoping and this
2:09:05
Speaker 2: is going to be a long struggle for The mexican.
2:09:07
Speaker 2: People What i'm hoping ultimately this works out to their.
2:09:09
Speaker 2: Advantage they have been so overwhelmed by corruption as a
2:09:13
Speaker 2: consequence of the drug. Cartels people get. Murdered every single
2:09:16
Speaker 2: year you hear a reform, candidate his or her head
2:09:18
Speaker 2: pops up in any given region Of. Mexico they find
2:09:20
Speaker 2: out that they're dead the next. Day, right cartels viewed
2:09:24
Speaker 2: them as a, threat so you lop the head off the.
2:09:27
Speaker 2: Threat now we have well a reversed situation here where
2:09:31
Speaker 2: they're lopping the heads off of the, threat in this
2:09:34
Speaker 2: case the threat coming from of, course the. Cartels so
2:09:37
Speaker 2: might it result in a better place for The mexican.
2:09:39
Speaker 2: PEOPLE i hope down the. ROAD i think it will
2:09:41
Speaker 2: be nice For shinbaum to invite our assistance in this.
2:09:43
Speaker 1: Regard welcome.
2:09:45
Speaker 2: Us we are helping them to the extent we're offering
2:09:48
Speaker 2: some intelligence, resources WHICH i view as a good. Thing
2:09:52
Speaker 2: fortunately we aren't having to engage in the military activity right.
2:09:57
Speaker 2: Now but it was the pressure from The trump administration
2:10:00
Speaker 2: brought about this most recent. Decapitation and also note That
2:10:03
Speaker 2: shinbaum has already handed over HUNDREDS i think one hundred
2:10:06
Speaker 2: plus cartel members to The United states government for. Prosecution
2:10:12
Speaker 2: so these are all steps in the right. Direction So
2:10:14
Speaker 2: Evil Orange man along With President shinbaum in this particular,
2:10:18
Speaker 2: CASE i think working to our collective best. Interest just
2:10:24
Speaker 2: pray for a positive long term, outcome and it'll be
2:10:27
Speaker 2: an outcome that's going to spell out over the next several,

2:10:52
Speaker 10: Brah, Hey, Chuck schumer says that it's races to have
2:10:58
Speaker 10: AN id to. Vote. Yep, well from his point of,
2:11:02
Speaker 10: view A democrat mind they might have a you, know
2:11:08
Speaker 10: they justify. It from A republican point of, view you
2:11:12
Speaker 10: go to the register and you buy your alcohol and your,
2:11:19
Speaker 10: well that needs A. Id but from the in The Blue,
2:11:25
Speaker 10: states you can take up to under one thousand dollars
2:11:30
Speaker 10: and just walk out the door. Together you don't need
2:11:32
Speaker 10: from The democrat's, mindset you don't need AN id for
2:11:37
Speaker 10: beer and other things like.
2:11:38
Speaker 2: That, well that is one way of looking at him.
2:11:40
Speaker 2: Map but the other thing That Christopher smithman brought this.
2:11:43
Speaker 2: Up he got carted when he Bought alca seltzer the
2:11:45
Speaker 2: other day for his. Daughter and he didn't view that
2:11:47
Speaker 2: as racist because, literally everyone who wants to Buy alca
2:11:50
Speaker 2: slts or wherever he was to buy it has to
2:11:51
Speaker 2: put a PHOTO id out.
2:11:53
Speaker 1: There it's not.
2:11:54
Speaker 2: Racist it's demonstrably stupid to make that. Argument and people
2:11:56
Speaker 2: who make that argument look like well themselves. Races they
2:11:59
Speaker 2: are accusing people of color and women now of being
2:12:02
Speaker 2: too stupid to do what we all do each and every.
2:12:05
Speaker 2: Day trust, me we all can navigate that challenge And

2:12:13
Speaker 11: Monday SO i think tariffs are, Good President, steinbaum she
2:12:19
Speaker 11: would not be doing this reaction to the drug. Cartel
2:12:22
Speaker 11: we wouldn't threaten the put these tariffs on her in the.
2:12:27
Speaker 11: Beginning you may be ready With Mark. Tarney you may be.
2:12:30
Speaker 1: Ready.
2:12:32
Speaker 2: Yeah so, yeah you can like tariffs or hate. Them
2:12:35
Speaker 2: you can appreciate What trump did with him or. NOT
2:12:37
Speaker 2: i agree with The Supreme court that he played fast
2:12:39
Speaker 2: and the loof under The Major questions doctrine in using
2:12:42
Speaker 2: that particular law to assert the. Tariffs, notably look what
2:12:45
Speaker 2: he did as soon as The Supreme court said, no,
2:12:47
Speaker 2: no you can't do that under that law he, enacted
2:12:49
Speaker 2: he inserted the right to do tariffs based on another
2:12:52
Speaker 2: set of, laws which gives us a more limited window of,
2:12:54
Speaker 2: time but nonetheless allow him the leeway to do it
2:12:57
Speaker 2: under the. Law but, yeah well, TAKEN i think the
2:13:01
Speaker 2: terriss had a lot to do with getting the shine
2:13:03
