0:39
Speaker 2: the riots and the violence and the anger and the

Speaker 2: UH court rules said no, you can't go to Portland,
0:50
Speaker 2: so pull out law enforcement and let local authorities cover it.

Speaker 2: of violence, antiphon, the anti ice folks, and it's just
1:05

2:26
Speaker 2: three Survivor. It's the Great Escape Movie with Steve McQueen.
2:30
Speaker 2: He says, the whole movie was pretty damn accurate, with
2:33
Speaker 2: the exception of Steve McQueen's motorcycle antics. He passed away
2:37
Speaker 2: on this date, October of twenty twenty two, and I
2:40
Speaker 2: had the distinct pleasure thanks to my friend Steve Murray,
2:44
Speaker 2: retired career military. He was good friends with Bob, and
2:47
Speaker 2: in fact, Bob, Bob's the one that got Steve into
2:49
Speaker 2: the military, started out as his scout master. So impressed
2:52
Speaker 2: with Bob, and what a kind of great role model.
2:55
Speaker 2: Bob was impacted Steve's life, And of course Steve was
2:59
Speaker 2: the one that allowed me the opportunity to meet Bob.
3:01
Speaker 2: Just absolutely love that guy. So rest in peace, Bob Doolan,
3:05
Speaker 2: you are not forgotten. Christopher Smithman certainly not forgotten. He

3:11
Speaker 2: do the smith Event Today no exception. Got Money Monday
3:14
Speaker 2: with Brian James. The government shut down continues. How are
3:17
Speaker 2: you feeling out there? Stock market is it impacted?
3:21
Speaker 1: Not yet?
3:21
Speaker 2: Socis security? How does that get impacted? Plus Snap and
3:25
Speaker 2: Wick benefits. Christopher McDowell, judge McDowell. He was a listener
3:30
Speaker 2: lunch at Jim and Jackson the River, and he has
3:33
Speaker 2: a Shenanigans declaration to declare against the Clerk of Courts.
3:37
Speaker 2: My understanding from my brief conversation with the judge, there's
3:40
Speaker 2: a secret docket. Felony murder cases are not shown on
3:45
Speaker 2: the regular Clerk of Courts docket, which I think that's
3:49
Speaker 2: a violation of the open records meetings. And how can
3:52
Speaker 2: you know what's going on? Local reporters might not know
3:55
Speaker 2: that there's a felony murder trial going on. You think
3:58
Speaker 2: they might want to report on that. Well, you can't
4:01
Speaker 2: report on something if you don't know it's on the docket.
4:04
Speaker 2: I'm actually part of me is hoping that I'm wrong
4:06
Speaker 2: on my recollection of Judge mcdowall's you know, comments to
4:10
Speaker 2: me along those lines. We're going to hear from him
4:11
Speaker 2: at eight thirty. So it seems like a pretty decent
4:14
Speaker 2: guy from my perspective. So eight thirty for that. What
4:18
Speaker 2: else is going on? Well, again, the government shutdown, how
4:21
Speaker 2: are you feeling about that? And no progress is being made?
4:25
Speaker 2: You hear at the top of the Oro News Rakim Jeffricks.
4:27
Speaker 2: People are going to die. Well, people are going to die.
4:29
Speaker 2: It's only because well, you're going to cause them to die.
4:32
Speaker 2: Who put the deadline for the premium supplements in the
4:36
Speaker 2: original bill that was passed because of COVID nineteen. And
4:43
Speaker 2: I think what the Democrats are waiting for is because
4:46
Speaker 2: we're heading toward open enrollment with Obamacare, that people are
4:49
Speaker 2: going to finally appreciate and see what it's like without
4:52
Speaker 2: these texts, without the tax incentives that were given by
4:58
Speaker 2: the Democrats way when COVID nineteen was around set to
5:02
Speaker 2: expire at the end of this year, because that's the
5:04
Speaker 2: way they wrote it. Who's responsible for death? If we're
5:07
Speaker 2: all going to die? One could argue it's the Democrats,
5:11
Speaker 2: one could argue, but one could also appoint to the
5:13
Speaker 2: position the Republicans are in. Looking, we're planning on extending
5:16
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four funding levels. We've got it in the
5:18
Speaker 2: Continuing Resolution. Those are your Democrats funding levels. What's wrong
5:22
Speaker 2: with is moving along as we are on the status
5:25
Speaker 2: quo until we get things worked out. Democrats are demanding
5:28
Speaker 2: the Republicans so either legislatively, which is their version of
5:32
Speaker 2: the Continuing Resolution, continue well these supplements apparently to the
5:40
Speaker 2: ten of one point five trillion dollars see increasing federal
5:44
Speaker 2: allays one point five trillion dollars. Yeah, that's not the
5:47
Speaker 2: direction we need to go. So they made no progress
5:53
Speaker 2: at all, and they keep arguing in circles. Republicans are
5:56
Speaker 2: firming their position, and I think they have a better argument.
6:01
Speaker 2: It's been well explained anybody bothering to look at it
6:06
Speaker 2: that the language of the Democrats bill specifically strikes out
6:10
Speaker 2: the one big beautiful provisions which prohibit illegal immigrants from
6:13
Speaker 2: getting aid. It says it in black and white. And
6:17
Speaker 2: they keep going back and forth like American people are
6:20
Speaker 2: going to lose their health care now, No, we're just
6:23
Speaker 2: moving forward the original plan. Anyway. Kevin Hasse had said
6:30
Speaker 2: yesterday that, well, you can expect layoffs to start coming
6:33
Speaker 2: your way. Head of the National Economic Council. I think
6:35
Speaker 2: if the President decides that the negotiations are absolutely going nowhere,
6:40
Speaker 2: which i'll interject seen to be where we are, then
6:44
Speaker 2: there will start to be layoffs. But I think that
6:46
Speaker 2: everybody's still hopeful then when we get a fresh start
6:48
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the week that's today, that we
6:50
Speaker 2: can get the Democrats to see that it's just common
6:52
Speaker 2: sense to avoid layoffs like that, to avoid the fifteen
6:56
Speaker 2: billion dollars a week, the Council of Economic Advisors said,
6:58
Speaker 2: will harm g if we have a shutdown. Talk about
7:02
Speaker 2: the power of the federal government and as an impact spending.
7:05
Speaker 2: If you believe the gross domestic product figure fifteen billion
7:08
Speaker 2: dollars of reduced gross domestic product because the government isn't
7:14
Speaker 2: working at least not the full capacity, that's a lot
7:18
Speaker 2: of that's a lot of impact on the economy. Going
7:22
Speaker 2: back to that joke I've made time and time again.
7:24
Speaker 2: You get the wide eyed I'm going to fix Washington,
7:28
Speaker 2: DC politician, I'm going there. Mister Smith goes to Washington
7:32
Speaker 2: and they take him in the back room and they say,
7:34
Speaker 2: you know what, you think you're going to fix it.
7:36
Speaker 2: You think you're going to drain the swamp. You think
7:37
Speaker 2: you're going to reduce the size and scope of government,
7:40
Speaker 2: But in fact, government makes the economy go. We create economies,
7:43
Speaker 2: we create new regulations and rules. Do you think there
7:46
Speaker 2: really needs to be an accounting economy out there? You
7:51
Speaker 2: could fix the irs. The income tax code, it's thousands
7:54
Speaker 2: and thousands of pages, which ultimately results in the employment
7:57
Speaker 2: of thousands and thousands of certified public accountant and entire
8:01
Speaker 2: legal teams of corporations. Why because we got to figure
8:03
Speaker 2: out what's in the tax code, and that takes time
8:06
Speaker 2: and it takes money, which creates an economy. If you
8:10
Speaker 2: could do the old simple play, just for example, I know,
8:14
Speaker 2: fair tax, flat taxes, all kinds of proposals out there,
8:17
Speaker 2: but we eliminate the tax code down a virtually nothing.
8:19
Speaker 2: Fill out a postcard size tax return. You made X,
8:24
Speaker 2: here is fifteen percent of X. That's what you owe.
8:26
Speaker 2: There are no ride offs done, end the story. There's
8:29
Speaker 2: no need for an accountants. How much how many billions
8:31
Speaker 2: of dollars do you think will be taken out of
8:33
Speaker 2: the account of the economy if we just simplified the
8:36
Speaker 2: tax code to that level, that minimalist level, right, I
8:42
Speaker 2: guess that's the point of fifteen billion dollars a week
8:44
Speaker 2: with the government shutdown. It's make work. It's like carbon capture.
8:49
Speaker 2: It didn't exist, flip the switch. It exists, and now
8:53
Speaker 2: the entire world is creating this new economy because some
8:57
Speaker 2: regulation on the book said we need to capture car
9:00
Speaker 2: carbon dioxide plant food. Can you imagine the overall extent
9:05
Speaker 2: and expense that that one little pronouncement carbon dioxide is
9:09
Speaker 2: a pollutant. What that did to the world's economy. We've
9:14
Speaker 2: been at this for years. Industries have been built on that.
9:18
Speaker 2: What if they didn't have that pronouncement. You think we'd
9:22
Speaker 2: be okay? Economically speaking? Would people find something else to
9:25
Speaker 2: do rather than creating a brand new whole cloth industry
9:28
Speaker 2: based upon basically a boiled down to a single regulation.
9:33
Speaker 2: Sometimes I really truly believe government is in the business
9:36
Speaker 2: of doing just that. I really do. That's how our
9:42
Speaker 2: government's gotten so big. But going over to Hakeem Jeffords
9:47
Speaker 2: on this shutdown, everyone is about to experience dramatically increased premiums, copays,
9:54
Speaker 2: and deductibles because of the Republican healthcare crisis. Oh so
9:59
Speaker 2: now we're responding for the health care crisis generally. Huh. Well,
10:04
Speaker 2: behind that statement is Obamacare in and of itself. You
10:08
Speaker 2: started to rely on, I suppose, supported by these well
10:11
Speaker 2: insane COVID nineteen era assistance payments, you get people making
10:19
Speaker 2: quite quite a bit of money. Sixty five hundred dollars
10:22
Speaker 2: was the four hundred percent of poverty level cutoff, and
10:24
Speaker 2: it didn't exist anymore. Wow, I can take advantage of
10:27
Speaker 2: the tax credits up until the end of this year.
10:32
Speaker 2: Now we're supposed to return back to what was prior
10:35
Speaker 2: to COVID nineteen normal where mister Jefferies, I suppose people
10:40
Speaker 2: didn't die. Did people die before we got the subsidies
10:46
Speaker 2: under COVID nineteen legislation?
10:49
Speaker 1: Yeah?
10:49
Speaker 2: I didn't think so. I didn't hear anyone arguing that.
10:52
Speaker 2: And when they passed the original legislation, wasn't it designed
10:57
Speaker 2: to save everybody, to get people healthcare Obamacare?
11:00
Speaker 1: Good?
11:01
Speaker 3: Uh?
11:01
Speaker 2: Five sixteen fifty five KRC Detalk station. Feel free to call.
11:04
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear from you, and regardless, got more
11:07
Speaker 2: coming up, I'll be right back. Fifty five KRC the
11:11
Speaker 2: talk station. So my mother is thinking of switching on
11:14
Speaker 2: a Monday course Smith Event, Monday Money, Monday and a
11:19
Speaker 2: word or two from Judge Christopher mcdalady thirty one Shenanigans
11:23
Speaker 2: in the clerk records without further deal, let's get over
11:25
Speaker 2: to the phones. It's like Cleveland Ow's on the phone.
11:27
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the program sir, It's pleasure to hear
11:29
Speaker 2: from you. Happy Monday, Happy Monday to you. Brian I apologize.
11:34
Speaker 4: Normally I speak off the cuff, but today I woke
11:40
Speaker 4: up with you, probably around two thirty AM, with a
11:42
Speaker 4: lot on my mind, and I decided to write it down.
11:45
Speaker 4: So I'm speaking from a script, and I apologize for that.
11:48
Speaker 2: Cleveland Owl, did you use chat GPT's help in doing
11:52
Speaker 2: your script?
11:53
Speaker 1: Sorry?
11:53
Speaker 2: Good, good for you?
11:55
Speaker 4: Sorry about s Sorry about that.
11:58
Speaker 2: You can say how well, it's okay.
12:00
Speaker 1: I'll know it by all right.
12:04
Speaker 4: This weekend, my wife and I attended my fiftieth high
12:07
Speaker 4: school reunion. Oh wow, one hundred Yeah, one hundred and
12:10
Speaker 4: thirteen out of one hundred and seventy five showed up.
12:14
Speaker 4: It was our largest reunion ever, and we enjoyed an
12:19
Speaker 4: evening of fun, food, beverages of all stripes, laughter, reminiscence,
12:25
Speaker 4: and shared stories of life, work, and especially family. The
12:30
Speaker 4: camaraderie and mutual respect that defined the event was palpable
12:35
Speaker 4: and noted by to be special by the spouses who
12:39
Speaker 4: had not experienced what my classmates and I'm sure many
12:43
Speaker 4: other classes in the sixties and seventies possessed a true
12:47
Speaker 4: love for the people we went to learn with. A
12:51
Speaker 4: significant part of the evening involved discussing how much has
12:54
Speaker 4: changed in fifty years. In the seventies, the seat of
12:58
Speaker 4: progressivism planted in the early twentieth century had only just
13:03
Speaker 4: started to bear fruit. So we gained an education in
13:07
Speaker 4: rather traditional manner while growing up in stable, two parent
13:10
Speaker 4: home with rules and expectations. In the past fifty years,
13:15
Speaker 4: progressives have successfully infiltrated all the major institutions of society
13:21
Speaker 4: and destroyed everything that it touches. They have destroyed the
13:26
Speaker 4: institution of marriage, the nuclear family, journalism, and made civility optional.
13:33
Speaker 4: They mock God and Christianity while defending barbaric religious fanatics
13:38
Speaker 4: who had destroyed them for their beliefs. Education has become
13:43
Speaker 4: a giant psio to create mind numbed robots to carry
13:47
Speaker 4: on the destruction of societal norms. They have defecated on
13:52
Speaker 4: the constitution and tried to destroy those who defend it.
13:57
Speaker 4: Reagan's shining Light on the Hill has been relegated to
14:00
Speaker 4: the asses of the Pacific Palisades and the war torn
14:04
Speaker 4: cities run by the criminals put in power by the clueless.
14:09
Speaker 4: Please people followed the wise advice of Tom and friends
14:13
Speaker 4: and don't vote Democrat.
14:16
Speaker 1: Thank you.
14:17
Speaker 2: Al Well stated, well, you really must have been tournamentally
14:21
Speaker 2: at two thirty this morning, but beautifully written. I think
14:24
Speaker 2: I have no objection to what your observed and observations are.
14:27
Speaker 1: How could I.
14:28
Speaker 2: I'm just behind you a little bit. I haven't read
14:31
Speaker 2: to reach fifty in terms of class reunions. But of
14:34
Speaker 2: course I'll catch up at some juncture. But you're right,
14:39
Speaker 2: and it may see to me moving faster and faster.
14:40
Speaker 2: And who do we have to blame for that? Obviously
14:43
Speaker 2: it's social media, there is no question about it. These
14:45
Speaker 2: thoughts and ideas, these leftists, the rantings and ramblings of leftism,
14:51
Speaker 2: were you know, kept amongst themselves. You had to actually
14:54
Speaker 2: engage in an ongoing effort to reach out and coordinate
14:57
Speaker 2: that message. Of course, you had the Vietnam War as
15:01
Speaker 2: an impetus to get people of a variety of different
15:04
Speaker 2: political stripes to protest against the war. There are a
15:07
Speaker 2: number of reasons that one could argue and justify protesting
15:10
Speaker 2: against it, especially with hindsight. But then at the same time,
15:15
Speaker 2: the green newt of the green agenda was kicking off.
15:18
Speaker 2: That was back when we were going to be frozen
15:20
Speaker 2: to death because the next ice age was coming thanks
15:23
Speaker 2: to our pollution. Boy the world's changed on that. But
15:25
Speaker 2: those forces joined and you had a variety of other
15:29
Speaker 2: leftist forces going on that joined in these movements, so
15:32
Speaker 2: we've made them fear bigger, and of course different ideas
15:36
Speaker 2: coordinating together in a general perception of protest against the government.
15:40
Speaker 2: What's going on right now, it's the same thing, anti Jewish,
15:44
Speaker 2: anti Israel, pro Palestinian, two state solution folks joining in
15:48
Speaker 2: with the carbon alarmist and the Greta Thunbergs of the
15:51
Speaker 2: world protesting. Yeah, and of course you can protest the
15:55
Speaker 2: war going on between Russia and Ukraine, and of course
15:57
Speaker 2: you can protest Israel and Gaza. All these forces they
16:01
Speaker 2: don't have the same message, but it's anti current status.
16:05
Speaker 2: It's anti anti anti fully funded, coordinated, and it's made
16:09
Speaker 2: it so easy with social media. You get a couple
16:12
Speaker 2: of multi billionaires that are willing to fund these efforts.
16:14
Speaker 2: They pay protesters. We know that that gets more warm
16:17
Speaker 2: bodies there, giving the appearance that this message is the
16:20
Speaker 2: popular message. It draws television cameras because there's, oh my god,
16:25
Speaker 2: the protesters, look at what they're saying. Yeah, it's it's
16:28
Speaker 2: clickbait for the news media. They love when there's violence
16:31
Speaker 2: and distress and anger and dissent in the streets. Gives
16:35
Speaker 2: them something fun to click on. A report on Heavily Coordinated.
16:39
Speaker 2: Heavily Coordinated, it says, you can get the entire nation
16:43
Speaker 2: into one room with one message at a time through
16:47
Speaker 2: social media that never existed back in the period of
16:49
Speaker 2: time Al's talking about. And yet look what happened. It slowly,
16:54
Speaker 2: little by little work, the Left will take their tiny
16:58
Speaker 2: baby step of victory going full long term that the well,
17:02
Speaker 2: it's like the Chinese one hundred year Plan or something.
17:04
Speaker 2: They're willing to wait for it. Ji Jinping will be
17:07
Speaker 2: dead before his vision is realized, but his vision is
17:10
Speaker 2: put on paper. That's the view of Marxist Left, this
17:13
Speaker 2: socialist and has always been. They'll continue to fight capitalism
17:18
Speaker 2: and their message will continue long after they're gone. As
17:21
Speaker 2: long as we get those baby steps toward that unified
17:24
Speaker 2: global control over our lives vision that they see, it's
17:30
Speaker 2: going to continue. It's up to us to fight back.
17:33
Speaker 2: It's up for us to be the Charlie Kirks of
17:35
Speaker 2: the world. You know, I would think, and we may
17:42
Speaker 2: see the pendulum swinging in the opposite direction. Mississippi James
17:46
Speaker 2: is out there, you know, keeping track of the pendulum,
17:50
Speaker 2: and I think we may be at a no Moss
17:52
Speaker 2: moment at least in so far as what we're seeing
17:54
Speaker 2: in the streets of this country. At least I can
17:57
Speaker 2: only hope. So five twenty five fifty five station, what
18:00
Speaker 2: say you feel free to give me a call and
18:03
Speaker 2: another opportunity to babble incessantly here in the five o'clock hours,
18:07
Speaker 2: I try to wake up on the heels of a
18:09
Speaker 2: great weekend. Yeah, nagging joint pain, you know that Sometimes
18:13
Speaker 2: it's from years of hard work. You got joint pain
18:16
Speaker 2: from an old injury. You got joint pain. You don't
18:18
Speaker 2: even know where it came from, but it has been
18:20
Speaker 2: dictated the terms of conditions of your life. Your life
18:23
Speaker 2: is working around the pain. How about getting rid of
18:25
Speaker 2: the pain. You've tried that steroid injection from your doctor.
18:28
Speaker 2: Your doctor's talking about surgery. Now you know where I'm

19:22
Speaker 6: This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station fall Is.
19:27
Speaker 2: It's the initial emergency communication. Reports state a female was shot.
19:30
Speaker 2: CPR was in progress. Since it says fatal shooting, I
19:34
Speaker 2: imagine that CPR is no longer in progress. They say
19:37
Speaker 2: one person's been detained. No other additional information. Jeez, Louise,
19:41
Speaker 2: let's go to the phone. See what Tom's got this morning.
19:43
Speaker 2: Tom has always thanks for calling a happy Monday to you.
19:46
Speaker 7: Hey, good morning, and Wining Hill seems like such a
19:49
Speaker 7: nice part of town.
19:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh man, Yeah, it's a shame.
19:54
Speaker 2: Man.
19:55
Speaker 8: I don't know.
19:55
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say about it.
19:58
Speaker 2: I don't either go back, idiot.
20:02
Speaker 7: You like poking that better, don't you?
20:06
Speaker 8: Who there?
20:07
Speaker 7: Yeah?
20:07
Speaker 1: Whatever, you know.
20:10
Speaker 7: And we talked about this few times. And thank you,
20:13
Speaker 7: by the way, al greatly appreciated. Good morning, Good morning,
20:16
Speaker 7: Christopher Smithman who says he listens from five to nine, so,
20:20
Speaker 7: and good morning to your lovely wife, Paulette.
20:24
Speaker 3: Uh.
20:24
Speaker 7: We we talked about this thing with the money and
20:27
Speaker 7: and and I absolutely believe that money is behind pretty
20:32
Speaker 7: much everything that politicians do. And these people who quote
20:37
Speaker 7: unquote represent us. You're you talked about the health insurance.
20:43
Speaker 7: As you know, I used the iHeart app to go
20:45
Speaker 7: back and listen to stuff that I missed throughout the week,
20:48
Speaker 7: and and I caught your last week. Early last week,
20:50
Speaker 7: he had a bit of a rant about, uh these subsidies.
20:53
Speaker 7: I think it was right before the shutdown. Uh, and
20:57
Speaker 7: how these uh these subsidies are gonna go away, and
21:00
Speaker 7: oh my god, everyone's going to die as far as
21:02
Speaker 7: Democrats are concerned. And they start thinking about if the
21:06
Speaker 7: Democrats got what they wanted, if it went the way
21:09
Speaker 7: the Democrats wanted, the government would pay a bunch of
21:15
Speaker 7: subsidies towards health insurance premiums, is it?
21:18
Speaker 1: Do I have that right?
21:19
Speaker 4: So far?
21:20
Speaker 1: Yeah?
21:20
Speaker 2: On Obamacare the cutoff is four hundred percent of poverty.
21:24
Speaker 2: COVID nineteen shows up. They get rid of the cap
21:26
Speaker 2: at four hundred percent of poverty, so everyone, including people
21:29
Speaker 2: making a whole lot of money, can get a rite
21:32
Speaker 2: off on that. So basically they're not feeling the pain
21:34
Speaker 2: of the premium.
21:36
Speaker 4: Well.
21:37
Speaker 7: And then, and what happens there is that since these
21:40
Speaker 7: health insurance companies know that government money is being pumped
21:44
Speaker 7: into the system, they check their prices up right, So,
21:49
Speaker 7: and then the people who are being allegedly covered by this,
21:53
Speaker 7: the policies are terrible. The out of pocket expense is ridiculous.
21:59
Speaker 7: You got, you know, five, six, eight, ten thousand or
22:03
Speaker 7: more dollars deductibles before your insurance even kicks in. So
22:07
Speaker 7: it sounds to me like the people that are being
22:11
Speaker 7: allegedly covered are paying more money, a lot of money
22:16
Speaker 7: for just basic health care. And then the companies who
22:22
Speaker 7: are being benefited by these subsidies are making that bank right,
22:27
Speaker 7: Am I getting that right?
22:29
Speaker 2: Well, you can make that argument, but my understanding of
22:31
Speaker 2: the problem with Obamacare, it's become the like the insurer
22:35
Speaker 2: of last resort. You know, obviously there's no pre existing
22:38
Speaker 2: condition exclusion. You can get insurance, and a lot of
22:42
Speaker 2: people that are really really really really sick and up
22:46
Speaker 2: in Obamacare, meaning their claims are a whole lot higher,
22:49
Speaker 2: so the payout from government is rising. I mean you
22:55
Speaker 2: might imagine that that makes perfect sense. It's like, you know,
22:57
Speaker 2: if you live in a hurricane zone, your insurance premium,
23:00
Speaker 2: your home insurance is going to be a whole lot
23:01
Speaker 2: more because your risk is a lot higher. But you
23:04
Speaker 2: can't you can't deal with that with Obamacare because the
23:08
Speaker 2: premiums are are kind of capped up to a certain amount, so.
23:13
Speaker 7: Well, they're capped for as far as what the patients
23:16
Speaker 7: are concerned or or totally. Because there's money. There's money
23:19
Speaker 7: changing hands, Brian. Money is flowing and even even if
23:24
Speaker 7: it's not actual green dollar bills, even if it's just
23:28
Speaker 7: digital you know on the computer, money is moving around
23:32
Speaker 7: and it's certainly not going to the patients. It's going
23:36
Speaker 7: to these these corporations. A lot of it is going
23:40
Speaker 7: to them, and I and I'm guessing there may be
23:42
Speaker 7: some kickbacks involved in these people who are making these decisions.
23:46
Speaker 7: But here's the irony for me. Democrats are worried about
23:52
Speaker 7: the patients, the people, and and and and they're also
23:56
Speaker 7: spewing hatred towards billionaires. Yet they're they're system is making
24:02
Speaker 7: these rich people more rich. That's the way it seems
24:06
Speaker 7: to me. I know that's very simplistic way of looking
24:08
Speaker 7: at it, but that's pretty much what it boils down to.
24:11
Speaker 7: And of course you have rhinos who are involved in
24:14
Speaker 7: this too, and they're not gonna complain about it because
24:17
Speaker 7: they or their buddies or pals are getting rich as well,
24:21
Speaker 7: while we out here, us unwashed masses, are forking over
24:26
Speaker 7: more and more money. My daughter, I don't think she
24:28
Speaker 7: has a bobecue, but she has one of those policies
24:31
Speaker 7: that doesn't cover a whole lot unless you really have
24:34
Speaker 7: a problem. But if you try to use it at
24:37
Speaker 7: an emergency room or something, man, it's ridiculous how much
24:40
Speaker 7: money you got to for cood. Oh yeah, none of
24:42
Speaker 7: these things are helping us. Whatever the Democrats are screaming
24:46
Speaker 7: for are not helping anyone except for the people who
24:50
Speaker 7: are getting richer. And they want to claim that the
24:52
Speaker 7: rich people are the problem. They want to tax the rich.
24:55
Speaker 7: The rich are sitting back going you go ahead and
24:58
Speaker 7: use you that slogan all you want, because we know
25:00
Speaker 7: that behind the scenes we're getting richer and richer and richer.
25:04
Speaker 7: We all we do is getting more money. So keep
25:06
Speaker 7: up the good work, don't. We don't care what you say.
25:09
Speaker 7: Just and this is what's going on. It's it's a
25:12
Speaker 7: it's a smoke screen, and it's a like a little
25:15
Speaker 7: magic trick, like a little three card money. And they
25:18
Speaker 7: want the Democrats want you to believe that they give
25:21
Speaker 7: a crap about you, and they don't. They don't care
25:24
Speaker 7: about you. And and thank you Alan for saying it.
25:28
Speaker 7: I'll say it again. Don't vote Rhino and don't vote Democrat.
25:32
Speaker 2: Have a great day, Brian, you do the same as
25:34
Speaker 2: good to hear from you. Tom stick Around, got a
25:37
Speaker 2: call from Bobby. Your calls are always welcome. Five one,
25:39
Speaker 2: three seventy the talk station by forty on a Monday
25:46
Speaker 2: post football game, Monday Congratulations with Joe's tracker a post
25:50
Speaker 2: from yesterday evening. I just saw this. The game is
25:55
Speaker 2: more enjoyable if you turn the sound down and play
25:58
Speaker 2: a loop of yah any sacks. Yeah, hitting now on
26:02
Speaker 2: the head right there, Joe, So go to the phones.
26:04
Speaker 2: I got Bobby first, Chris, hang on your next, Bobby.
26:06
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Morning Show. Happy Monday, Happy.
26:09
Speaker 5: Monday, my brother, Faith Flag family. And you know you
26:13
Speaker 5: got to keep the firearms if you want to stay
26:16
Speaker 5: up there with the rest of them.
26:17
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I do believe more and more of these
26:19
Speaker 2: days that is true.
26:21
Speaker 5: Well, Cincinnati over the weekend, I mean we've got stabbing, murders, killings,
26:26
Speaker 5: and everything else handicapped it at about five and a half.
26:30
Speaker 5: I don't know what's going to happen, but if people
26:32
Speaker 5: keep voting for these Democrats, they're going to get what's
26:34
Speaker 5: coming to them, because it's coming. If people don't realize
26:39
Speaker 5: that we're in the midst of a culture revolution, just
26:41
Speaker 5: go ahead and take your wife any evening and walk
26:45
Speaker 5: down the streets of Cincinnati.
26:48
Speaker 1: Unarmed and tell me you feel safe.
26:52
Speaker 2: Well, I would know that I probably wasn't going to
26:56
Speaker 2: feel safe before actually going into downtown Cincinnati. The fact
27:01
Speaker 2: that I know that I may be unsafe would necessitate
27:04
Speaker 2: me carrying my firearm there, and of course that I
27:08
Speaker 2: wouldn't enter into that situation. But that that's me Bobby,
27:11
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think we are definitely in the throes
27:13
Speaker 2: of a cultural revolution. Who could who couldn't say? Who
27:17
Speaker 2: couldn't agree with that? Bobby, Look at where we are.
27:20
Speaker 2: We've entered the realm of batcrap insane.
27:24
Speaker 1: I had an individual tell me, well, Bob, it's normal.
27:27
Speaker 5: It's what happens all the time down Cincinnati.
27:29
Speaker 1: And I told him one thing, The only thing normal.
27:32
Speaker 5: About Cincinnati is when you go into the utility room
27:35
Speaker 5: and you look at the dryer and it says normal.
27:38
Speaker 1: That's it. Nothing else is normal about it.
27:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was certainly a period of time where I
27:43
Speaker 2: never would have thought about and I don't think it's
27:46
Speaker 2: a likely thing it would. If it was likely, we'd
27:49
Speaker 2: be reading about it the whole time. But you know,
27:51
Speaker 2: Holly getting punched in the face. That someone would beat
27:55
Speaker 2: someone up and they have no connection with whatsoever. Someone
27:59
Speaker 2: is rent aid. Out of nowhere, someone flies out and
28:02
Speaker 2: punches them. We've seen other illustrations of this. Some people
28:05
Speaker 2: are just mining their own business, walking down the street.
28:08
Speaker 2: Next thing you know, out of nowhere, a left hook
28:11
Speaker 2: knocking them flat on the ground and knocking them out.
28:13
Speaker 2: I mean, there was no connection with the person who
28:15
Speaker 2: threw the punch. That's become a more frequent phenomenon, this
28:19
Speaker 2: idea that it's just okay to kill somebody. Think about
28:22
Speaker 2: that woman who got stabbed on the subway train. She
28:24
Speaker 2: was balled up, just paying attention to her cell phone.
28:27
Speaker 2: She wasn't engaged in a confrontation with that guy. He
28:29
Speaker 2: just stabbed her in the neck and she dropped dead.
28:32
Speaker 2: That's the kind of thing. And I know it makes headlines.
28:34
Speaker 2: I know it's clickbait. It's because it's so outrageous that
28:37
Speaker 2: we can't believe our own eyes. But you know, if
28:40
Speaker 2: that's it seems to be happening more and more, or
28:43
Speaker 2: maybe because going back to social media, the internet, the
28:45
Speaker 2: instantaneous reality, everything that bad it happens in the world
28:50
Speaker 2: is presented to us real time, so we think the
28:52
Speaker 2: whole place is spiraling out of control. That's the only
28:55
Speaker 2: counter narrative to your conclusion, Bobby, is just that now
28:58
Speaker 2: it's always been sort of like this, but we never
29:01
Speaker 2: heard about what's going on in Poughkeepsie, Iowa locally when
29:04
Speaker 2: someone got punched for no reason. Now it's right there
29:07
Speaker 2: as a headlines in a national press. Look, so and
29:09
Speaker 2: so got punched in the face for no reason. They're
29:11
Speaker 2: in the hospital. They died to go fund me some
29:13
Speaker 2: accountsmen set up. You know, it seems like it's literally
29:16
Speaker 2: happening all the time. So you got to figure it
29:18
Speaker 2: out for yourself. Is it really getting that much worse
29:21
Speaker 2: or are we just seeing it more because of well
29:25
Speaker 2: the Internet. I think maybe a little bit of both.
29:29
Speaker 2: Bobby could be quite honest with you. Let's see what
29:30
Speaker 2: I gotta get Chris in here for this segment soever, Chris,
29:34
Speaker 2: thanks for calling this morning. Welcome to the program.
29:37
Speaker 1: Good morning, Brian.
29:39
Speaker 9: Those two callers before it didn't put me in a
29:44
Speaker 9: phone call ready this morning, So Cleveland enter here a
29:47
Speaker 9: little bit. There is an annual affair on near Veterans Day,
29:56
Speaker 9: Veterans Day being November eleventh. There's a concert this year,
30:01
Speaker 9: and it's every year at Memorial Hall, and it's on Sunday,
30:06
Speaker 9: and it's at two o'clock in the afternoon, and it
30:10
Speaker 9: is the Queen City Concert Band at Memorial Hall. It's
30:14
Speaker 9: a free concert celebrating our veterans. And I was hoping
30:19
Speaker 9: that you could get the word to the organizations that
30:22
Speaker 9: are in the different counties that support and do many
30:28
Speaker 9: good things for the veterans that they could see if
30:30
Speaker 9: they could transport some of these men women to the concert.
30:36
Speaker 9: It is a rousing, patriotic celebration of our veterans. And
30:42
Speaker 9: this Memorial Hall is just one fantastic place.
30:46
Speaker 2: It's beautiful.
30:48
Speaker 9: It's right next to Music Hall, of course, and it's.
30:53
Speaker 1: Very very historic.
30:55
Speaker 9: Anyhow, I think the people who care for our veterans
30:58
Speaker 9: and like music would us love this concert. And I
31:01
Speaker 9: hope that you can engender some enthusiasm to get as
31:06
Speaker 9: many veterans there as possible.
31:08
Speaker 2: I appreciate what you did to that end. So even
31:11
Speaker 2: I know about it now thanks to your phone call today,

Speaker 2: hang on, Fred, thanks for calling this morning.
31:43
Speaker 3: Very good morning.
31:45
Speaker 4: Hey.
31:45
Speaker 3: Once again, one of the things I was calling you about.
31:47
Speaker 3: You had answered the guy prior to me, and I
31:50
Speaker 3: keep saying that you can't keep making me like you.
31:54
Speaker 3: I wanted to let you know that because once once
31:59
Speaker 3: again you're telling him basically, look because you have to
32:03
Speaker 3: look for yourself. And I'm the same thing I'm saying
32:06
Speaker 3: about violence. And I understand what people say that they
32:09
Speaker 3: look at TV and they think violence is going on
32:11
Speaker 3: twenty four hours a day, every minute, and every day.
32:13
Speaker 1: It's not like that.
32:15
Speaker 3: You got a few individuals that's causing the problem. It's
32:20
Speaker 3: not the whole community. It's not a lot of black people.
32:23
Speaker 3: It's not a lot of white people. It's not a
32:25
Speaker 3: lot of Mexicans or Africans or are whatever.
32:30
Speaker 1: It's not.
32:31
Speaker 3: It's not happening like that. I feel comfortable walking in
32:34
Speaker 3: any neighborhood in the city. I don't carry a firearm.
32:37
Speaker 3: I got fourteen of them, but I don't care e
32:39
Speaker 3: none of them because I feel safe now. I believe me,
32:44
Speaker 3: I know my surroundings, and I know when the individual
32:46
Speaker 3: is not acting right.
32:48
Speaker 1: I move myself from the situation right.
32:51
Speaker 3: And that's simple as that. And I appreciate the way
32:53
Speaker 3: that you had worded it and the reason I called you.
32:56
Speaker 3: I called to get educated because I purposely listen over
33:00
Speaker 3: the last couple of weeks at your callers and everything
33:03
Speaker 3: like that, and everything I have heard was it was
33:07
Speaker 3: no solutions. Everything has been a bit of anger of
33:11
Speaker 3: what's going on on it. I'm an independent. Let me
33:14
Speaker 3: say this, and I and I lean more towards the
33:18
Speaker 3: Democrats apt because of the abortion thing. I'm gonna leave
33:21
Speaker 3: that alone. But my whole, my whole thing is this.
33:27
Speaker 3: I always wanted to hear solutions. I don't call if
33:30
Speaker 3: I don't have somewhat of a solution. But when I
33:33
Speaker 3: hear that no one has a solution, but you're angry
33:36
Speaker 3: at something that I've still trying to figure out. What
33:40
Speaker 3: when I when I can hear what a person anger at,
33:43
Speaker 3: then I can say, okay, I have to understand. I
33:45
Speaker 3: can go look for myself and see why they're angry.
33:48
Speaker 3: But there's never a solution. And all of my accidents
33:53
Speaker 3: for the callers to educate me, educate me. I'm an
33:56
Speaker 3: independent leading towards democrat. Bring me over to the Republican side.
34:00
Speaker 3: And about a week ago you had said that you know,
34:03
Speaker 3: sometimes is when a situation comes that you can bring
34:06
Speaker 3: a Democrat or independent over. Bring them over. This is
34:11
Speaker 3: the time I act some people to do. Now, bring
34:14
Speaker 3: me over. Give me something that why I should not
34:16
Speaker 3: ever vote Democrats are independent, and let me hear this
34:24
Speaker 3: for myself, and I will come to your station and say, listen,
34:27
Speaker 3: I'm coming over, but I haven't heard it yet.
34:29
Speaker 2: Well, you're right, and you know, the the tougher the
34:32
Speaker 2: quote unquote perceived problem, the more likely it is someone's
34:35
Speaker 2: going to gravitate towards demanding the government answer that you
34:39
Speaker 2: provide this so called solution. We got a problem with healthcare, Obamacare,
34:43
Speaker 2: the solution. Now the Obamacare has become the problem under
34:47
Speaker 2: the current argument over premiums. Premiums that were well, these
34:51
Speaker 2: subsidies suspended because COVID nineteen became a problem. So, by god,
34:56
Speaker 2: we can't charge everyone the full freight for the Obamacare
34:58
Speaker 2: on premium, So we're going to suspend that. People start
35:01
Speaker 2: embracing that, and they get used to having the premium suspended.
35:04
Speaker 2: It's sort of defying logic and reason. The premiums didn't
35:08
Speaker 2: go away. It's just that fred U as a taxpayer
35:11
Speaker 2: and me as a taxpayer, and all of the taxpayers
35:13
Speaker 2: are now basically shouldering the burden of paying the premium.
35:16
Speaker 2: The government solution to COVID was to get rid of it.
35:18
Speaker 2: The problem now, the problem is getting rid of it
35:21
Speaker 2: is the problem. I mean, we keep chasing our tails.
35:24
Speaker 1: I go to it.
35:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, go ahead, No, no,
35:28
Speaker 2: I mean interject. I mean we're having a free form
35:31
Speaker 2: conversation here. Fred. I don't think I have the other
35:33
Speaker 2: answers to what you're saying.
35:34
Speaker 3: But oh, okay, okay, to Obamacare. I'm not saying that
35:39
Speaker 3: that that's the greatest thing in the world. But my
35:42
Speaker 3: whole thing is, once again, give me something to replace
35:45
Speaker 3: it better than what it is.
35:47
Speaker 1: That's all.
35:47
Speaker 3: I'm my accident. I don't like it, believe me that
35:50
Speaker 3: I do. I don't like it, but something is better
35:52
Speaker 3: than nothing at all. And once we get to this, well,
35:56
Speaker 3: you know, the government didn't shut down, and he's saying
35:58
Speaker 3: that the Democrats wanted to. You have immigrants from New Zealand,
36:03
Speaker 3: New Zealand, Africa, Asia all over the country.
36:07
Speaker 1: It's not just Mexicans, of course not yeah, no, no, yeah, And.
36:12
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that we should be affording to be
36:15
Speaker 3: able for of them. But we've stuck on these Mexicans
36:19
Speaker 3: for some reason, I don't know why, but we stuck
36:21
Speaker 3: on there. But we got people from all over the
36:23
Speaker 3: world here. It is there calls and problems.
36:26
Speaker 2: Also, And here's where I'll disagree. I think it is
36:31
Speaker 2: objectively any illegal immigrants anywhere. It has nothing to do
36:36
Speaker 2: with Mexico. It is happening to be closer approximately to
36:39
Speaker 2: US than any other country. And they also happen to
36:41
Speaker 2: have an economy that once that suggests that their people
36:45
Speaker 2: would be better served in the United States. One of
36:47
Speaker 2: the drivers of that is that they are hooked up
36:50
Speaker 2: to the umbilical court of the social welfare safety net.
36:53
Speaker 2: They are entitled to free education, apparently, free medical. They
36:56
Speaker 2: get government services which you and I are paying for.
36:59
Speaker 2: That's the line of the saying that most people say,
37:01
Speaker 2: I don't care if it's going to a Mexican or
37:03
Speaker 2: someone from Africa, or maybe even a Northern European person
37:06
Speaker 2: who snuck into the country illegally. It shouldn't be that way.
37:10
Speaker 2: That carrots shouldn't be there. Our taxpayers suggest that we
37:14
Speaker 2: are supporting the American population with those government resources. But
37:18
Speaker 2: the minute you open that up to the entire world,
37:20
Speaker 2: which we saw during the Obama administration, we find out
37:23
Speaker 2: that the costs are overwhelming. So American citizens with American
37:28
Speaker 2: taxpayer dollars supporting this are being deprived of some of
37:31
Speaker 2: the various services they think their taxpayer dollars are going for.
37:34
Speaker 2: Enter outrage, enter an awareness of a problem that didn't
37:38
Speaker 2: exist before twenty million people just flew into the United States.
37:42
Speaker 2: So yeah, this has nothing to do with Mexico. Fred
37:45
Speaker 2: I agree with you completely and to the extent.
37:46
Speaker 3: Okay, I agree with you and the the last two
37:48
Speaker 3: things and my whole thing once again, it's for education. Also,
37:53
Speaker 3: when I was coming up in school, everyone wouldn't go
37:55
Speaker 3: into college, and they knew they wasn't gone to college.
37:57
Speaker 3: So we had block classes. You learn automotive fuel, learn paining,
38:00
Speaker 3: you learn anything dealing with uh, something that you definitely
38:04
Speaker 3: wouldn't going to college. Trades basically a trade school.
38:08
Speaker 1: Basically.
38:09
Speaker 2: Yeah.
38:09
Speaker 3: And so when they took that out of school, and
38:12
Speaker 3: and and and they took.
38:14
Speaker 1: And made individual say, Okay.
38:16
Speaker 3: You go through twelve years of school, they need they
38:18
Speaker 3: put you out of school, but you've never learned the trade.
38:21
Speaker 1: You people going to college.
38:22
Speaker 3: So now now they talking about putting trade school back
38:25
Speaker 3: in schools. Wouldn't you should never took it out from the.
38:27
Speaker 2: Beginning, Amen, Fred, I'm with you.
38:30
Speaker 3: They're going it happened back over stuff.
38:33
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I just say, And what happened when they
38:35
Speaker 2: took trades out of the school. That's when everybody starts
38:37
Speaker 2: demonizing the whole idea of trade, like you know, making
38:40
Speaker 2: blittling hard work. Oh, you need to go to a college,
38:43
Speaker 2: get a college education. Now, No, no, no, it's not
38:45
Speaker 2: for everybody. It's it's there's an opportunity out there to
38:48
Speaker 2: not be in debt, get a job, hitting the ground running.
38:51
Speaker 2: Why did they eradicate that ease with which we made
38:53
Speaker 2: that concept with the trade schools, Diamond Oak, Scarlet Oak,
38:58
Speaker 2: some of the other ones, vocational training. I mean, and
39:00
Speaker 2: you know it used to exist. You're right, Fred, And
39:01
Speaker 2: I don't know why it disappeared, but at least embrace
39:04
Speaker 2: the reality it's coming back. If for no other reason,
39:07
Speaker 2: a lot of people realize their jobs are going to
39:09
Speaker 2: be eradicated by artificial intelligence. AI can't plumb, AI can't
39:14
Speaker 2: do wiring, et cetera, et cetera. Fred, I love hearing
39:17
Speaker 2: from you, man. I appreciate your comments. I truly do
39:20
Speaker 2: and let us all reach our own conclusion politically thinking
39:24
Speaker 2: about it ourselves and analyzing the problems and issues of
39:26
Speaker 2: the world.
39:27
Speaker 9: Stick around.
39:27
Speaker 2: We got more to talk about coming up the top
39:28
Speaker 2: of the our news, Jay, I will take your call
39:30
Speaker 2: right out of the gate. I apologize couldn't get to it,
39:32
Speaker 2: but I'll be right back. Today's tough headlines coming up
39:36
Speaker 2: Fine fifty five hundred eight hundred eight two three talk
39:38
Speaker 2: pound five fifty on AT and T phone and real
39:40
Speaker 2: quick to Fred's point before I get to Jay Marine
39:43
Speaker 2: one of the listeners communicating me with an instant message
39:46
Speaker 2: that she is often prone to dudes like solutions. Looking
39:50
Speaker 2: at just the city of Cincinnati, insofar as problems, you
39:53
Speaker 2: might say, well, crime's a problem, infrastructure is a problem.
39:58
Speaker 2: You know you have a makeup. Since they say a
40:00
Speaker 2: council one hundred percent Democrat, are you happy with the
40:03
Speaker 2: direction the city is going? Do you think there's been
40:04
Speaker 2: an appropriate allocation of finite resources? Are they attending to
40:08
Speaker 2: the needs of the residents of the city of Cincinnati?
40:11
Speaker 2: Are they pursuing something like a green agenda? An anti
40:15
Speaker 2: police sort of perception or mentality you know you heard
40:18
Speaker 2: mayor have to have per of all. His response to
40:20
Speaker 2: the violence in downtown Cincinnati, who has offered help from
40:23
Speaker 2: the governor, He took two days out of a month
40:26
Speaker 2: to get additional research. Is that sufficient? Are you satisfied
40:29
Speaker 2: with his response? We are short on officers and unlike
40:35
Speaker 2: waiting around for Donald Trump to unilaterally decide to put
40:37
Speaker 2: troops in the cities. And we could argue about that
40:40
Speaker 2: all day long. We can't immediately replace the number of
40:44
Speaker 2: officers that were down in the city of Cincinnati. That
40:46
Speaker 2: takes time. That is a long term project. If you
40:50
Speaker 2: can get an immediate solution by taking governor to wine
40:52
Speaker 2: up on his offer for law enforcement resources, perhaps every
40:56
Speaker 2: day of the month until we get to the point
40:58
Speaker 2: where we can satisfy ourselves that we have had with
41:00
Speaker 2: cin Saint police officers to Purdue patrols. Well, maybe there's
41:03
Speaker 2: a different choice you got, Corey Bowman. If you're unhappy
41:07
Speaker 2: with aftab Provoll, He's like, oh, I can't vote for
41:09
Speaker 2: a Republican. Ask yourself, why are you happy with the
41:13
Speaker 2: way things are? Okay? If not, then why not try?
41:18
Speaker 2: Corey Bowman is mayor is a finite period of time.
41:21
Speaker 1: Give it a shot.
41:21
Speaker 2: Let's see if it works. He's surrounding himself with great people.
41:24
Speaker 2: We might have city manager Todd Zinzer somebody else you mentioned,
41:29
Speaker 2: and he will be perfect for the job. And he's
41:31
Speaker 2: amazingly experienced, being a former Inspector General from the United
41:33
Speaker 2: States government. Steve Gooden Charter right. You don't have to
41:36
Speaker 2: vote Republican. Vote Steve Gooden. He's brilliant, he's got a record,
41:41
Speaker 2: he was appointed on council for a while, and I
41:42
Speaker 2: think he is certainly not a third rail by any
41:45
Speaker 2: stretching the imagination. So replacing Dems may, she says, is
41:50
Speaker 2: the solution. I say, at least maybe the solution. You
41:54
Speaker 2: may not be satisfied after, you know, let's say a
41:57
Speaker 2: Republican at least presence on council. Well maybe if you
42:01
Speaker 2: even give them complete control. You got more Republicans and
42:03
Speaker 2: Democrats on council, you got a Republican mayor. Get your
42:06
Speaker 2: popcorn out. Let's see how things unfold. Things clearly, at
42:10
Speaker 2: least from my perspective, are not on the right track
42:13
Speaker 2: in the city. So you have an alternative to try.
42:17
Speaker 2: We do this all the time in the in matters political.
42:22
Speaker 2: We try and sometimes it doesn't deliver, and sometimes it
42:25
Speaker 2: does deliver, and it delivers in spades. I mean, think
42:29
Speaker 2: about where we were under Jimmy Carter and then look
42:31
Speaker 2: at where we were after or after even four years.
42:34
Speaker 2: But eight years of the Reagan administration. Well on the
42:37
Speaker 2: right track. Maybe a profound shift in a right direction.
42:41
Speaker 2: Let's see it. Jay, Thanks for indulging me there. Thank
42:44
Speaker 2: you so much for holding I always appreciate your calls.
42:46
Speaker 2: Welcome back and happy Monday.
42:48
Speaker 10: Hey, Happy Monday, Bryan. Hey, love your program. Whenever you
42:51
Speaker 10: get a collar like Fred, I think that's the first
42:54
Speaker 10: time in my life that I have been I've blessened
42:57
Speaker 10: to talk radio for years and years where somebody said, hey,
43:00
Speaker 10: educate me, make your point.
43:02
Speaker 9: What are you angry about?
43:03
Speaker 7: Uh So, kudos to Fred to throw that out.
43:07
Speaker 10: Let me in a very short amount of time. Give
43:09
Speaker 10: you a couple of recommendations.
43:11
Speaker 1: Fred.
43:11
Speaker 10: One is and by the by, this is humbly.
43:14
Speaker 7: I do not have all the answers.
43:16
Speaker 10: Only one person has all the answers, and that's Lord
43:18
Speaker 10: the Savior Jesus Christ. So I would recommend fits Everett
43:24
Speaker 10: Ellison's book The Iron Triangle, a former Democrat turn Republican.
43:32
Speaker 10: Maybe in a similar spot, Fred to where he started
43:36
Speaker 10: trying to figure out what was the difference, and it
43:39
Speaker 10: was an awakening for him of what is the difference?
43:43
Speaker 10: High level, here's what I would say. A conservative is
43:47
Speaker 10: somebody who says, I am good with me. I got me,
43:52
Speaker 10: I don't need the government, I don't need anybody else
43:55
Speaker 10: in my on my back or in my Quallet leave
43:59
Speaker 10: me alone. I don't want anything to do with you.
44:01
Speaker 10: I'll follow the laws. That's it, that's all I want.
44:05
Speaker 10: A liberal and so a conservative says, we have these
44:08
Speaker 10: God given rights, and only God can give us these
44:12
Speaker 10: rights and will allow me to pursue any life that
44:15
Speaker 10: I want, any opportunity that I want to pursue. The liberals,
44:19
Speaker 10: on the other hand, I adopted the philosophy that came
44:24
Speaker 10: out of Germany in the late eighteen hundreds. It says, no, no, no,
44:28
Speaker 10: God doesn't give you rights. Government gives you rights. And
44:33
Speaker 10: famously at LBJ President LBJ. Johnson, And remember, the Democrats
44:41
Speaker 10: were the party of the Confederacy. They are the party
44:43
Speaker 10: of slavery. They are the party of keep people in
44:47
Speaker 10: change and take away their power, and we'll make all
44:51
Speaker 10: the decisions. And not much has changed. The Democrat Party
44:56
Speaker 10: has had power and control over every innertony for decades,
45:02
Speaker 10: maybe one hundred years. And the output of their philosophy
45:06
Speaker 10: is what you see with the crime that's going on
45:08
Speaker 10: in all the major cities that have been run by
45:10
Speaker 10: Democrats for decades, which is, here's the deal. The deal
45:16
Speaker 10: from the liberals the Democrat party is if you get
45:20
Speaker 10: if you vote Democrat, we're going to give you a
45:23
Speaker 10: little bit of something, something which means we're going to
45:25
Speaker 10: steal from your fellow Americans, legalized theft, and we're going
45:30
Speaker 10: to give it to you. It won't be enough for
45:33
Speaker 10: you to ever get ahead, it won't be enough for
45:35
Speaker 10: you to ever really be satisfied, but you won't really
45:39
Speaker 10: have to work that hard, but we'll keep you in poverty,
45:42
Speaker 10: and then we become your slave masters again. And all
45:46
Speaker 10: you have to do is follow our plan. And that
45:48
Speaker 10: goes for people of all colors, that's all races, and
45:52
Speaker 10: vitz Ebrett Ellison lays that out in his book beautifully
45:56
Speaker 10: that what they started with the black community is going
45:59
Speaker 10: on across all communities, and that's their plan is socialism
46:03
Speaker 10: and communism, where there's central planning that's going to take
46:06
Speaker 10: care of everything. You just have to turn all of
46:08
Speaker 10: your power, all of your rights, all of your money
46:11
Speaker 10: over to them. You're no longer a citizen, You're now
46:14
Speaker 10: a slave. That's the difference between conservatism and liberalism and
46:18
Speaker 10: the don't vote Democrat or Rhino.
46:21
Speaker 2: Well, no, I was say in that latter position, philosophy
46:23
Speaker 2: is really predicated and relies almost exclusively on waging class
46:28
Speaker 2: warfare and telling people it's not fair. Someone's got more
46:31
Speaker 2: than you, we should take from them and give it
46:34
Speaker 2: to you, which to me is immoral and unethical just
46:37
Speaker 2: as a starting point, but that's where it all comes from.
46:40
Speaker 2: It's that anger and resentment because you're out there in
46:42
Speaker 2: the world and you're not winking a whole lot of money.
46:45
Speaker 2: Your life didn't turn out the way you thought it
46:46
Speaker 2: was going to be. It's not fair. I haven't gotten
46:49
Speaker 2: the American dreams. So you latch onto these people who
46:51
Speaker 2: are redistributing wealth. That's what the whole system of government
46:54
Speaker 2: is based on.
46:55
Speaker 10: From their perspective, well correct, And they have to make
46:59
Speaker 10: you believe that you were the victim, right, But as
47:02
Speaker 10: soon as you wake up and you figure out that
47:04
Speaker 10: you're not a victim and you're a citizen, and you
47:06
Speaker 10: have any you can pursue any opportunity you want. Now
47:10
Speaker 10: you're no longer a slave, and it's unbelievable what you.
47:13
Speaker 1: Can accomplish well.
47:14
Speaker 2: And I also have to observe Jay, your description of
47:17
Speaker 2: conservatism actually sounds like a description of a libertarian philosophy,
47:22
Speaker 2: which you know, considering you summed up conservatism as you know,
47:26
Speaker 2: stay the hell away from me.
47:27
Speaker 1: You do what you want.
47:28
Speaker 2: I can live under the umbrella. I'll follow the law,
47:31
Speaker 2: You follow the law, we'll I'll make our own decisions
47:33
Speaker 2: for ourselves. For quite often, the dividing factor, and Fred
47:37
Speaker 2: even said it, abortion was one thing that caused so
47:40
Speaker 2: many even people who might be otherwise quote unquote conservatives
47:43
Speaker 2: safe from a fiscal standpoint, didn't want the government saying
47:46
Speaker 2: whether or not a woman could have an abortion. That
47:49
Speaker 2: was embedded in the conservative slash Republican party platform, and
47:53
Speaker 2: it served as a great foil to Republicans making inroads.
47:57
Speaker 2: I've always been to the mind, I trust you with
47:59
Speaker 2: your in your zipper. Don't come after my wallet, and
48:02
Speaker 2: don't come after my zipper. We're capable over here in
48:04
Speaker 2: the Thomas household of making your own decisions about where
48:06
Speaker 2: we spend our money and how we choose to engage
48:09
Speaker 2: in sexual activities. I'm cool with you doing your own thing.
48:13
Speaker 2: Just do it behind the damn door and enjoy your life.
48:16
Speaker 2: But that wasn't the case up until fairly recently, and
48:20
Speaker 2: more and more folks subscribe to what you were saying,
48:22
Speaker 2: what I've always said. My goal was always to be Republicans,
48:26
Speaker 2: should be more little L libertarian, little L libertarian. And look,
48:30
Speaker 2: abortions no longer a federal issue, Federal office holders are
48:35
Speaker 2: no longer running on that it's a state's issue. And
48:38
Speaker 2: has abortion gone away? No, If last reporting, there are
48:40
Speaker 2: more now than there were before Roe v. Wade was overturned,
48:43
Speaker 2: More people and more states decided to enshrine the right
48:46
Speaker 2: of abortion because well, I guess the population wanted it,
48:49
Speaker 2: So strike that from the party platform unless you're in
48:52
Speaker 2: a state where you think you can do something about it. Also,
48:55
Speaker 2: you know, conservatives quite often advocated for religion in schools,
48:59
Speaker 2: but only conservative. I only am a Christianity. We don't
49:03
Speaker 2: live in a theocracy. I mean that's in the constitution
49:07
Speaker 2: free exercise of religion, not free exercise of Christianity alone.
49:11
Speaker 2: So that was a dividing thing and find that offensive
49:14
Speaker 2: if you will, it's still a political reality. More and
49:17
Speaker 2: more people aren't touching that aspect. They're just looking at
49:20
Speaker 2: dollars and cents. They're looking at exactly what you're talking about, Jay,
49:24
Speaker 2: And I think that's a personally, I believe that's healthy
49:27
Speaker 2: because we get rid of all this effort to control
49:30
Speaker 2: our lives that one element, whether the left is doing
49:33
Speaker 2: it or the right is doing it. Maybe governments shouldn't
49:35
Speaker 2: be controlling these personal issues in our lives, right, No,
49:41
Speaker 2: they shouldn't. They shouldn't. That's not what elect officials are
49:46
Speaker 2: in a position to do. Do they know what's going
49:48
Speaker 2: on in your home, in your neighborhood? No, not at all.
49:52
Speaker 2: Six sixteen fifty five Krcity Talk Station, Chime In, I
49:55
Speaker 2: Love It five p. One to three, six twenty one
49:58
Speaker 2: fifty five Carcity Talks Station, Happy Monday, Monday Monday, Brian
50:03
Speaker 2: James eight oh five. I'm preceded by, of course, Christopher
50:05
Speaker 2: Smith and coming up in one hour with the Smith event.
50:08
Speaker 2: Us an opportunity here, Judge Christopher McDowell should have been
50:10
Speaker 2: listening to lunch and made a Shenanigan's declaration at listener
50:13
Speaker 2: lunch to me. We're gonna hear about that Shenanigan's declaration
50:16
Speaker 2: that he thirty without further ado. Let's see what Tom's
50:18
Speaker 2: got hand hold on. We'll get you next. Tom, thanks
50:19
Speaker 2: for calling.
50:21
Speaker 11: Brian so over the weekend or last Friday, I was
50:25
Speaker 11: reading they got the twenty point property tax h relief. Yeah,
50:31
Speaker 11: buddy done. I read it like twice and still don't
50:34
Speaker 11: understand where the money is.
50:36
Speaker 2: God bless you, Tom. Tom. I have three articles in
50:40
Speaker 2: front of me about the Republican's plans to override Governor
50:43
Speaker 2: Mike Dwines Veto and looking into what the Property Tax
50:46
Speaker 2: Group had released by way of its twenty point plan,
50:49
Speaker 2: I was confused, as hell man the reporting on it.
50:54
Speaker 11: Say what said it looks like a bunch of lawyers
50:57
Speaker 11: wrote that document.
51:01
Speaker 2: It's designed to confuse.
51:04
Speaker 11: It seems like the more money we give them, the
51:06
Speaker 11: more waste and abuse we have.
51:08
Speaker 2: So well that goes with that.
51:10
Speaker 11: Say so, you know the old saying death and taxes.
51:14
Speaker 11: But we're gonna have to get some kind of relief here,
51:17
Speaker 11: and I don't think it's that complicated.
51:19
Speaker 1: We just need to.
51:21
Speaker 11: Pull up our sleeves and reach in there and yank
51:25
Speaker 11: the guts out of the situation because these schools are
51:28
Speaker 11: really taking them bulk of this money. And I think,
51:32
Speaker 11: you know, get those tax vouchers for any school you
51:35
Speaker 11: want to go to and you get better education, and yeah,
51:39
Speaker 11: I don't know if you have anything to fill in on.
51:41
Speaker 2: Well, that's see. That's one of the ways I've always
51:43
Speaker 2: commented on. Okay, if we get rid of property taxes,
51:45
Speaker 2: it's not just schools. And of course, going back twenty
51:49
Speaker 2: years ago, the Supreme Court in Ohio so that the
51:51
Speaker 2: current funding mechanism is unconstitutional. Let's ignore that court order.
51:54
Speaker 2: But you would solve presumably that problem if you got
51:57
Speaker 2: a voucher for the kids. The money goes directly to
51:59
Speaker 2: the kids, and money obviously then would have to come
52:02
Speaker 2: from Columbus. That takes the way this county local funding
52:05
Speaker 2: mechanism right now, it's going to be alchemy to figure
52:08
Speaker 2: out how much per student goes to any individual student
52:12
Speaker 2: unless they just make it equal across the board. It's
52:14
Speaker 2: more expensive in some areas than others, and we can
52:17
Speaker 2: discuss the reasons why that may be. But at least
52:20
Speaker 2: the money would come from a uniform source. It would
52:22
Speaker 2: go to the kids. That would take that out of
52:24
Speaker 2: the local levy situation, and of course it'd be one
52:27
Speaker 2: less item. We needed to figure out how to fund
52:29
Speaker 2: how do you fund local parks, how do you fund
52:31
Speaker 2: local police? How do you fund local fire? That is
52:35
Speaker 2: a complicating issue. If you eradicate property taxes, all that
52:38
Speaker 2: money apparently is going to have to have its roots
52:40
Speaker 2: in Columbus, and you can only imagine the Charlie foxtrot
52:43
Speaker 2: reality of elected officials and Columbus arguing over who gets
52:46
Speaker 2: what and how much. Very complicated.
52:49
Speaker 11: But yeah, we might have commissions on the study.
52:53
Speaker 2: For forever twenty years. Again, Tom, we've been under the
53:00
Speaker 2: Supreme Court decision that's being ignored now for twenty years.
53:02
Speaker 2: So yeah, I can see the road going down that
53:05
Speaker 2: road and it probably won't result in anything. At least
53:07
Speaker 2: they're trying. Thanks Tom, appreciate that. Yeah, go ahead and
53:12
Speaker 2: read up on that. It is confusing. Do we have
53:14
Speaker 2: time for Hank, Joe Henk. Welcome to the Morning Show.
53:17
Speaker 2: Happy Monday.
53:19
Speaker 12: Well, good morning, Brian. I hope I can get through
53:22
Speaker 12: all of this. I've had a comms or not. Tom
53:26
Speaker 12: Fred's comments kind of got me going, So I'm going
53:29
Speaker 12: to try and go through this belt fed The problem
53:32
Speaker 12: with the Democrats is basically they're divided pretty much between
53:36
Speaker 12: anarchists and status and the problem with that they cause
53:40
Speaker 12: is Democrats increase crime by tolerating it. Now you can
53:44
Speaker 12: point to January sixth, but with Donald Trump said let's
53:50
Speaker 12: go to the Capitol and make our voices known peacefully
53:53
Speaker 12: and patriotically. So that's basically the argument is is that
53:57
Speaker 12: it's on both sides. It's not. Another thing is abortion
54:02
Speaker 12: encourages their responsibility. Now, you keep saying, you know, you
54:06
Speaker 12: trust people with their own zipper, but quite honestly, there's
54:09
Speaker 12: a lot of people out there that are just going wild,
54:13
Speaker 12: and you know, you say that's their choice, but to me,
54:16
Speaker 12: it seems like it hardens people when you start making
54:20
Speaker 12: abortion come and it makes death cheap. Now, also when
54:27
Speaker 12: when you have too many immigrants with another one of
54:30
Speaker 12: Fred's points is they don't assimilate. They come into the country,
54:35
Speaker 12: they set up their own little enclaves, like what's going
54:38
Speaker 12: on in Detroit, and you wind up, yeah, and you
54:42
Speaker 12: wind up with people that basically are they're settling, they're
54:47
Speaker 12: not they're colonizing, they're not just joining America. And also
54:53
Speaker 12: you run into the problem as you mentioned where they
54:55
Speaker 12: hook themselves up to the umbilical cord and don't seem.
54:58
Speaker 1: To get off right.
55:00
Speaker 12: Go back to where Tom was or Fred was asking
55:03
Speaker 12: about you know why they took shop class out of school. Well,
55:07
Speaker 12: they took it out because it was sexist. It was
55:11
Speaker 12: boys went to shop class and girls went to home mack.
55:14
Speaker 12: And we can't have that kind of crap going on.
55:17
Speaker 2: Well, Hank, when I was in high school, I took
55:19
Speaker 2: homemack and I learned how to make peanut brittle. I
55:21
Speaker 2: still make that recipe to this day. We're going back
55:23
Speaker 2: fifty years, man, I think roughly, so maybe a little long,
55:26
Speaker 2: a forty five years. But no, I mean could always
55:28
Speaker 2: take homemac. It's just a question of society's acceptance of it.
55:32
Speaker 2: It took a while for us to get over to
55:33
Speaker 2: the point where, yeah, men women can take shop, men
55:35
Speaker 2: can take shop. The traditional roles of men and women
55:38
Speaker 2: have changed and shifted over the years, and in so
55:41
Speaker 2: far as people, you know, going back to your collective, like, yes,
55:45
Speaker 2: Minneapolis has large Muslim communities. Yes, in New York, and
55:48
Speaker 2: it's been this way for a long time. There's always
55:50
Speaker 2: been heavy concentration of Jewish people living together, and in fact,
55:54
Speaker 2: they have their own system of governance, self governance. They
55:57
Speaker 2: have Jewish law and they and of course it doesn't
56:01
Speaker 2: supersede local laws. You can still go to the prosecutor's
56:04
Speaker 2: office if you've been wrong. There are still laws in
56:06
Speaker 2: the books that do apply. But quite often they choose
56:09
Speaker 2: to resolve their problems amongst themselves. And who am I
56:11
Speaker 2: to tell you you can't do that. The fact that
56:13
Speaker 2: people who are of like mind, that look alike, that
56:16
Speaker 2: think alike, that practice the same religion all want to
56:19
Speaker 2: congregate together, that makes sense to me. I mean, that's
56:23
Speaker 2: exactly the way we are. I mean, I've always said
56:25
Speaker 2: I'll be friends with anybody. I don't care what color
56:28
Speaker 2: they are, what religion they practice. If they like the
56:30
Speaker 2: same kind of stuff that I like to do, we're
56:32
Speaker 2: probably going to get along great. So that's normal. It's
56:36
Speaker 2: always been that way, so I don't find a problem
56:39
Speaker 2: with it under this big umbrella we have. But I
56:41
Speaker 2: don't know that you necessarily need to assimilate into the culture.
56:46
Speaker 2: And what does that mean. I think if we all
56:49
Speaker 2: had some reasonable ethics and norms about respecting each other's
56:52
Speaker 2: rights and freedoms and our ability to go in the
56:54
Speaker 2: direction we want. We'd be in a better place. Just
56:57
Speaker 2: that a lot of people out in the world are
56:59
Speaker 2: trying to force you into doing something you don't want
57:01
Speaker 2: to do. Again, going back to looking at communities, like
57:04
Speaker 2: minded people congregate together. The Left's always been about stirring
57:07
Speaker 2: that pot up. We need to have representation from all
57:10
Speaker 2: racist creeds ethnicities. There must be a percentage of people
57:13
Speaker 2: that are this color and that color. Why well, because
57:17
Speaker 2: all right, but we mentally and we I think, crave
57:21
Speaker 2: to be around like minded people. That's how you end
57:24
Speaker 2: up with neighborhoods that are of like mind. It was
57:27
Speaker 2: a choice that was made by the people that live there.
57:31
Speaker 2: Fifty five Karrascity Toalxtation. You feel free to chime in.
57:33
Speaker 2: Maybe you see it differently. I don't mind that at all,
57:36
Speaker 2: difference of opinion. They're welcome here on the Since I
57:38
Speaker 2: please identified a man killed after our shooting in Roselawn
57:41
Speaker 2: that happened on Saturday. Kenny Townsend, thirty five, died as
57:44
Speaker 2: a result of being shot sixteen hundred block A Summit.
57:47
Speaker 2: Rogue officers called area to the area about twelve thirty pm.
57:50
Speaker 2: That's where they found Towns in with a gunshot wound,
57:53
Speaker 2: initially suffering life threatening injuries, according to Lieutenant Jonathan Cunningham.
58:00
Speaker 2: Police have not stated if they have a suspect still
58:02
Speaker 2: under investigation again Crime Stoppers three five two thirty forty
58:07
Speaker 2: just two of the stories involving violence in downtown Cincinnati. Yeah,
58:14
Speaker 2: I don't know what I got out of it along
58:16
Speaker 2: those lines, but I certainly got a good peanut brittle recipe.
58:21
Speaker 2: I also took woodshot. I also took typing. I also
58:25
Speaker 2: took sewing. Yeah, that was part of home act. I
58:28
Speaker 2: made a dog a bet. Yeah, one of those beanbag
58:32
Speaker 2: kind of things is basically a giant ball filled with
58:34
Speaker 2: fluffy you know. Yeah, I made one of those. My
58:36
Speaker 2: only accomplishment in sewing class. But you know, do I
58:39
Speaker 2: know how to thread a sewing machine?
58:42
Speaker 7: Now?
58:43
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'd be hard pressed to do it now,
58:45
Speaker 2: it's been too many years, but I did learn a skill.
58:50
Speaker 2: We're a lot of women in that class too. I
58:53
Speaker 2: was looking at this meme someone sent them Shocking things
58:55
Speaker 2: liberals believe, and it's all, of course, things that liberals
58:58
Speaker 2: believe that you're supposed to think are great ideas. Like,
59:02
Speaker 2: for example, here's one everyone should have access equal access
59:08
Speaker 2: to equal education. What does that mean in going back
59:12
Speaker 2: to what liberals believe. Apparently they believe in one single
59:16
Speaker 2: solitary public school platform, the public school, and they will
59:21
Speaker 2: not give you choice. I think you have a greater
59:23
Speaker 2: opportunity to equal access to equal education if you're given
59:26
Speaker 2: the freedom of choice to choose. And here's another one
59:28
Speaker 2: that I thought rather interesting. There should not be subsidies
59:31
Speaker 2: for profitable corporations. Yeah, I agree with that, but there
59:35
Speaker 2: also shouldn't be subsidies for unprofitable corporations. Like the whole
59:39
Speaker 2: green energy thing, it's coming collapsing around us. If you
59:42
Speaker 2: have no subsidies, no one wants it. It can't compete.
59:46
Speaker 2: It's an inferior energy source. But what about the climate. Yeah,
59:51
Speaker 2: carbon dioxide isn't a pollutant. Just take that element out
59:54
Speaker 2: of the whole global warming argument. Let the plants eat
59:57
Speaker 2: the food that we give them with our exhalation. Carbon
1:00:00
Speaker 2: dioxide is, in and of itself, nothing that is going
1:00:02
Speaker 2: to kill the planet. It's not like mercury, where it
1:00:06
Speaker 2: causes cancer or other problems. And you know it exists
1:00:09
Speaker 2: as a natural component of our world. Ergo, it's not
1:00:12
Speaker 2: a pollutant. Yeah, lobbyists should not be allowed to bribe
1:00:19
Speaker 2: our representatives. I'll agree with that. The question is is
1:00:23
Speaker 2: funding their campaigns a former bribery? And if it is,
1:00:27
Speaker 2: then both liberals and conservatives are equal opportunity offenders when
1:00:30
Speaker 2: it comes to that. So I guess it's a question
1:00:32
Speaker 2: in the hearts and minds of liberals whose ox is
1:00:34
Speaker 2: being goored when it comes to campaign funding from lobbyists.
1:00:39
Speaker 2: No child should fear being shot at school, I agree,
1:00:42
Speaker 2: but it's a breakdown of society, not the firearm itself,
1:00:45
Speaker 2: because the firearm, while being protected as an inalienable right
1:00:48
Speaker 2: under our constitution, the firearm does not get up on
1:00:51
Speaker 2: its own and start shooting people at schools. Crazy people
1:00:55
Speaker 2: do that. Can you get rid of crazy? Is there
1:00:59
Speaker 2: a pece of legislation you can pass and is going
1:01:01
Speaker 2: to get rid of crazy? The answer is obviously no.
1:01:07
Speaker 2: Wall Street gangsters should go to prison when they steal. Well,
1:01:11
Speaker 2: calling them gangsters is one thing, it's a label unsupported
1:01:14
Speaker 2: by facts. But if they are stealing, definitionally, that is
1:01:17
Speaker 2: a crime, and they should go to prison when they
1:01:20
Speaker 2: are stealing. I guess it depends on what your definition
1:01:24
Speaker 2: of steal. Is hmm. And then there's a whole idea
1:01:27
Speaker 2: of equality, equal rights, and equal pay should be a
1:01:31
Speaker 2: benchmark for all Americans. Welcome to the the just the
1:01:34
Speaker 2: bare bones reality of Marxism or Communism. From each according
1:01:38
Speaker 2: to his ability, to each according to his need. Yes, you,
1:01:41
Speaker 2: as a barista at the Starbucks are entitled to equal pay. Yes,
1:01:45
Speaker 2: even that of a CEO at a Fortune five hundred
1:01:47
Speaker 2: country company, which they complain about in this meme as well.
1:01:50
Speaker 2: CEOs should not receive three thousand times the pay of
1:01:53
Speaker 2: their workers. Oh that's a market force driven I might
1:01:56
Speaker 2: agree conceptually with you with his statement. Are they really
1:01:58
Speaker 2: worth that much? Apparently the big corporations think so. They're
1:02:03
Speaker 2: chasing after the same groups and individuals that are on
1:02:05
Speaker 2: various boards of directors, many of whom serve on multiple
1:02:08
Speaker 2: board of directors, and are handsomely paid for it because
1:02:11
Speaker 2: I guess they have the qualifications that maybe a frontline
1:02:13
Speaker 2: worker does not have, thus justifying their well increase salary.
1:02:19
Speaker 2: I could go on and on on this. You know,
1:02:21
Speaker 2: you look at them and immediately they appear to be
1:02:23
Speaker 2: appealing as an out loud statement, but then you peel
1:02:26
Speaker 2: back the veneer of what they're saying, and the fallacy
1:02:29
Speaker 2: of the statements are revealed in full six forty six
1:02:32
Speaker 2: at fifty five KRC, the six fifty one if if
1:02:37
Speaker 2: you buy KRC detalk station have a Monday trying to
1:02:43
Speaker 2: make it so anyway, Well, so Trumpson's in Portland, in
1:02:46
Speaker 2: the National Guarden in Portland, where the place is falling apart.
1:02:48
Speaker 2: Now going back to a common thread made earlier. You know,
1:02:51
Speaker 2: you believe your eyes, believe your ears, or believe what
1:02:54
Speaker 2: people are telling you, a little healthy dose of perception reality. Yes,
1:03:00
Speaker 2: there are a thousand protesters or however many given protesters
1:03:03
Speaker 2: throwing rocks and bottles and basically being violent because ICE
1:03:07
Speaker 2: is trying to do its job. Those laws are on
1:03:10
Speaker 2: the books. ICE is there just trying to do their job.
1:03:12
Speaker 2: You don't like that, then he changed the law. In
1:03:19
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's case, he wants to send the federal troops
1:03:21
Speaker 2: in for the purpose of protecting federal property and like
1:03:23
Speaker 2: justified in doing that within certain parameters. And this lawsuit
1:03:29
Speaker 2: that the Trump administration loss lawsuit brought by the State
1:03:31
Speaker 2: of Oregon City of Portland, arguing that the deployment was
1:03:34
Speaker 2: unlawful and exceeded the president's statutory authority, and that's what
1:03:37
Speaker 2: the judge decided. Two hundred Oregon National Guard members showed up,
1:03:46
Speaker 2: tried to put a lid on things, and despite the
1:03:50
Speaker 2: increased violence and what we witness with our own eyes.
1:03:53
Speaker 2: So pick a number of violent protesters, what segment of
1:03:57
Speaker 2: society do they represent? Person? Percentage of the population thought
1:04:01
Speaker 2: it important to show up at the ice facility and
1:04:03
Speaker 2: raise hell? What was their motivation? Were they being paid
1:04:07
Speaker 2: to do that? Are they just basically anarchists who don't
1:04:10
Speaker 2: believe in law and order? Could be a whole collection
1:04:13
Speaker 2: of those, but we've got those. Yeah, there's a lot.
1:04:15
Speaker 2: You may have one next door to you. Are they
1:04:18
Speaker 2: the majority of people? Well, that's what elections tend to determine.
1:04:22
Speaker 2: You know, people have had enough and they say no
1:04:25
Speaker 2: Moss and they want something done about the crime, or
1:04:27
Speaker 2: they want something done about illegal immigration. They vote for
1:04:29
Speaker 2: the side that is, you know, making their point. What
1:04:34
Speaker 2: do you do in the meantime with the violence going
1:04:35
Speaker 2: on there? Judge Immigrant ruled on Saturday that Trump's federalization
1:04:39
Speaker 2: exceeded his authority because the law only allows the president
1:04:43
Speaker 2: to call on the National Guard under exceptional services circumstances, invasion, rebellion,
1:04:48
Speaker 2: inability to execute federal law using regular forces. And the
1:04:52
Speaker 2: court determined, at least in Portland, Oregon, that none of
1:04:55
Speaker 2: those conditions existed. Does that mean they don't exist in Chicago?
1:04:59
Speaker 2: If you're wondering why Trump is sending three hundred troops
1:05:01
Speaker 2: to Chicago because this decision does not govern what's going
1:05:05
Speaker 2: on in Chicago, would another judge in a case filed
1:05:08
Speaker 2: in Chicago, and yes they've been filed, to find that
1:05:10
Speaker 2: the president exceeded his authority in Chicago as well, that
1:05:14
Speaker 2: these these extra these these circumstances, invasion, rebellion, inability to
1:05:18
Speaker 2: execute federal law do not exist there as well. Certainly
1:05:21
Speaker 2: a judge could find that. But a judge could also
1:05:23
Speaker 2: find something to the contrary. It's a question of fact
1:05:27
Speaker 2: that you look at any given circumstances to determine. And
1:05:30
Speaker 2: so since you have people ramming ice agents with automobiles,
1:05:36
Speaker 2: maybe the circumstances are different in Chicago. I guess I
1:05:40
Speaker 2: always keep going back to, you know, if you had
1:05:43
Speaker 2: a legitimate poll, if you could check the pulse of say, Portland, oregators,
1:05:49
Speaker 2: now a lot of them may give you a knee
1:05:51
Speaker 2: jerk reaction. No federal troops being here is wrong. But
1:05:53
Speaker 2: if you know you're paying for the property that they're protecting,
1:05:56
Speaker 2: and of course you're paying for the life of the
1:05:59
Speaker 2: officer being pert they get shot at, they get docks,
1:06:04
Speaker 2: then they do get docs. And that's one of the
1:06:05
Speaker 2: things that I'm so offensive about California's mask law and
1:06:09
Speaker 2: makes it a lot easier. Parenthetically, the cartels are now
1:06:13
Speaker 2: setting ten thousand dollars bounties when you kill US immigration officials. Yeah,
1:06:20
Speaker 2: so California made that task a lot simpler. Go ahead
1:06:22
Speaker 2: and collect your reward from the cartels. Kill a US
1:06:24
Speaker 2: immigration official. Yeah, But at some point the people are
1:06:28
Speaker 2: going to have a say in this matter. I'm just
1:06:31
Speaker 2: of the mind that the people would rather have law
1:06:33
Speaker 2: and order that they aren't taken in by and duped
1:06:36
Speaker 2: by this evil federal truth thing. If it's federal property,
1:06:41
Speaker 2: you protect federal property. If local law enforcement won't do
1:06:44
Speaker 2: it and they're not, somebody should go in and rescue them.
1:06:48
Speaker 2: I should we go in and rescue them and protect
1:06:50
Speaker 2: the property. Crazy world, we live in, folks, Crazy crazy world. Anyway,

1:07:56
Speaker 2: the smither Van, followed by Money Monday at eight oh
1:07:58
Speaker 2: five today with Brian James and Money Money, we'll talk
1:08:00
Speaker 2: about the government shutdown and how it affects dock market
1:08:02
Speaker 2: so security snapping Wig benefits if at all, And then
1:08:06
Speaker 2: in studio I'm looking forward to having Judge Christopher mcdowellan
1:08:09
Speaker 2: to make a Shenanigan's declaration on the Clerk of Courts.
1:08:11
Speaker 2: Apparently there is a secret docket. I think we've been
1:08:15
Speaker 2: down this road before felony murder cases, at least as
1:08:18
Speaker 2: I understand it. We'll get the details at eight thirty
1:08:20
Speaker 2: from the judge. If there's a felony murder, it's not
1:08:24
Speaker 2: on the regular docket. So local news, for example, reporting
1:08:27
Speaker 2: on such matters, and they are important as we discuss
1:08:30
Speaker 2: crime and the increase in crime in city of Cincinnati
1:08:34
Speaker 2: and how our current elected officials are responding to it.
1:08:38
Speaker 2: Wouldn't it be nice to know if there's a felony
1:08:39
Speaker 2: murder trial going on, Yeah, you might want to cover that.
1:08:42
Speaker 2: How would you know if it's not on the docket,
1:08:44
Speaker 2: is a good question, he asked. He was at listener
1:08:46
Speaker 2: lunch and that's how I found out about this. I said,
1:08:47
Speaker 2: you got to come on the show to talk about it,
1:08:49
Speaker 2: So he'll do that at eight thirty. If you want
1:08:51
Speaker 2: to come on the show and talk about something, feel
1:08:53
Speaker 2: free to call me right now five one, three, seven, four, nine,
1:08:55
Speaker 2: fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three
1:08:57
Speaker 2: talk down five fifty on AT and T phones. A
1:08:59
Speaker 2: real quick here. I pointed out that the judge out
1:09:02
Speaker 2: in Portland, Oregon said, no, Trump exceeded his authority. Can't
1:09:04
Speaker 2: call on the National Guard under except under exceptional circumstances,
1:09:08
Speaker 2: which the court determined did not exist there. There was
1:09:11
Speaker 2: no invasion, rebellion, or inability to execute federal law using
1:09:14
Speaker 2: regular forces. None of those conditions exist in Portland. So
1:09:17
Speaker 2: local law enforcement federal enforcement are capable of maintaining order.
1:09:20
Speaker 2: I'll let you decide whether that's an accurate conclusion or
1:09:23
Speaker 2: not based upon what's been unfolding in Portland. But local
1:09:27
Speaker 2: circumstances dictated that this decision, at least in the mind
1:09:30
Speaker 2: of the judge, said Trump, you exceeded your authority. The
1:09:34
Speaker 2: court held the public interest favored restraint, emphasizing the importance
1:09:38
Speaker 2: of maintaining civilian control and avoiding military intrusion. Now pivoting
1:09:43
Speaker 2: over to Chicago's, the same thing exists there. We had
1:09:46
Speaker 2: ICE agents that were boxed in by ten cars on Saturday.
1:09:52
Speaker 2: Anti US immigration and Customs enforcement crowds have been gathering
1:09:56
Speaker 2: there for days. A dozen people have been arrested in
1:09:59
Speaker 2: this practice. Melee one of the drivers is accused of
1:10:03
Speaker 2: ramming into the law enforcement vehicle and was also armed
1:10:07
Speaker 2: with a semi automatic weapons. So much for peaceful protests.
1:10:13
Speaker 2: Assistant DHS Assistant DHS Assistant Secretary of Tritiam McLoughlin, commenting
1:10:20
Speaker 2: said officers were unable to move, were forced to deploy
1:10:22
Speaker 2: their weapons and fired defensive shots, and an armed US citizen.
1:10:27
Speaker 2: The armed woman described as a citizen identified as someone
1:10:32
Speaker 2: called Marmar Martinez named them the CBP Intelligence Bolden DHS,
1:10:37
Speaker 2: writing in a statement she allegedly docked agents and posted online,
1:10:41
Speaker 2: Hey to all my gang lets f those compound word
1:10:46
Speaker 2: mfor up. Don't let them take anyone. Fortunately, no law
1:10:53
Speaker 2: enforcement officer seriously injured. But oddly enough, the problem exacerbated
1:10:58
Speaker 2: because the Chicago police, speaking of local law enforcement and
1:11:02
Speaker 2: civilian control and maintaining local order, maybe it doesn't exist
1:11:06
Speaker 2: in Chicago, providing perhaps a justification for Trump deploying the troops,
1:11:10
Speaker 2: which he apparently is doing this week. I know the
1:11:13
Speaker 2: presidents of the National Fraternal Order of Police and the
1:11:16
Speaker 2: Illinois State FOP a little upset with the reports that
1:11:20
Speaker 2: are widely circulating in the Chicago's police. Chicago's Chief of
1:11:24
Speaker 2: Patrol directed the officers not to assist the ICE agents
1:11:30
Speaker 2: as they were being surrounded by protesters on Saturday, court
1:11:33
Speaker 2: to the FOP President Patrick Yoes, the National FOP President.
1:11:37
Speaker 2: Details are still emerging, but it appears that officers from
1:11:39
Speaker 2: the Chicago Police parmer were ordered not to assist a
1:11:42
Speaker 2: group of ICE agents while they were physically threatened by
1:11:45
Speaker 2: what appeared to be an angry mob. Let's be clear,
1:11:47
Speaker 2: both the National FOP and the Illinois FOP believe that
1:11:50
Speaker 2: when an officer calls for assistance, you answer no matter what.
1:11:54
Speaker 2: The officers were victims of criminal activity, as defied by
1:12:00
Speaker 2: state law. How about that. Now, it is a federal
1:12:06
Speaker 2: law if you accost a Federal Police Department agent, but
1:12:10
Speaker 2: it's also a state law. Those people are well members
1:12:13
Speaker 2: of the community, and if you beat one up, according
1:12:16
Speaker 2: to Illinois law, as there is a law in every
1:12:19
Speaker 2: state of the books, you can't do that. It constitutes
1:12:23
Speaker 2: a crime under state law. That's what the police department
1:12:25
Speaker 2: is supposed to be doing. It shouldn't matter whether you're
1:12:27
Speaker 2: a federal agent or just some grandmother walk walking down
1:12:31
Speaker 2: the street to the grocery store. If you get beat up, punched,
1:12:34
Speaker 2: rammed into by a vehicle, you should be arrested, and
1:12:38
Speaker 2: Chicago police should be arresting. But if they don't come
1:12:41
Speaker 2: to your aid, they've been specifically directed to not help. Period.
1:12:45
Speaker 2: End of story. Read the memo, it's circulating everywhere. That's
1:12:48
Speaker 2: what it said. So maybe there's an extra element in
1:12:57
Speaker 2: Chicago given that local isn't helping. They're not helping protect
1:13:02
Speaker 2: federal property, but they're also not helping protect the lives
1:13:05
Speaker 2: of human beings. Somebody's got a force state law there.
1:13:09
Speaker 2: The Feds aren't a position to do it. So anyhow,
1:13:11
Speaker 2: let's do what Paul's got on this. Paul, thanks for
1:13:13
Speaker 2: calling this morning. Happy Monday to you.
1:13:16
Speaker 8: Hey, good morning, Brian.
1:13:18
Speaker 13: I just wanted to ask you, how is it that
1:13:20
Speaker 13: a citizen can ascertain, or you know, make with confidence
1:13:25
Speaker 13: the identification of ice officers if they don't have badges
1:13:29
Speaker 13: and they're just accosting people off the street.
1:13:32
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know that they don't have badges, because
1:13:34
Speaker 2: every time I read they don't have badges, someone from
1:13:35
Speaker 2: the federal government shows up and says, no, they are
1:13:38
Speaker 2: labeled as ice officers. So I don't know the answer
1:13:41
Speaker 2: to the question because the fog of reporting is a
1:13:43
Speaker 2: bit murky on this one.
1:13:45
Speaker 13: Well, except for the plenty of videos out there, and
1:13:48
Speaker 13: you've got people like Benny Johnson, you know, right wing
1:13:50
Speaker 13: activists Benny Johnson and Christy nom out there wearing ICE things.
1:13:54
Speaker 13: And I mean Benny Johnson is not an ICE officer,
1:13:57
Speaker 13: and that's just one of them, you know, the it's
1:14:00
Speaker 13: become just a public spectacle to go out. And again,
1:14:04
Speaker 13: if I see one of my neighbors being a costag
1:14:06
Speaker 13: just because their skin is brown, how am I supposed
1:14:08
Speaker 13: to know that those people are acting in an official capacity?
1:14:11
Speaker 2: Well, how would you know that someone's are costing your
1:14:13
Speaker 2: neighbor because of their skin being brown. That's kind of
1:14:16
Speaker 2: a conclusion we've reached on your own without any information
1:14:18
Speaker 2: supporting that conclusion.
1:14:21
Speaker 1: Well, so why was the.
1:14:22
Speaker 13: Guy who arrested twice in South Carolina in a construction
1:14:25
Speaker 13: an American citizen twice just because his skin was brown?
1:14:29
Speaker 2: I don't know that that's the case, But then again,
1:14:30
Speaker 2: I don't know which guy you're talking about. Again, the
1:14:32
Speaker 2: foger reporting on all this. There's so many isolated incidents
1:14:35
Speaker 2: reported on across this country every given day. I can't
1:14:38
Speaker 2: keep track of the people honestly or the facts behind
1:14:40
Speaker 2: each one. Are there atrocities being committed by law enforcement sometimes?
1:14:46
Speaker 2: Absolutely are Often they're doing their lawful job and trying
1:14:50
Speaker 2: to enforce the law. Of course they are. Are these
1:14:53
Speaker 2: problems going to crop up from time to time? Of course,
1:14:55
Speaker 2: there are bad eggs among all law enforcement officers, much
1:14:58
Speaker 2: in the way there are bad eggs among the ro
1:15:00
Speaker 2: testers thinking that they're just merely supporting human rights and
1:15:02
Speaker 2: people's right to live in a free society. There are
1:15:05
Speaker 2: always bad actors and bad eggs trying to clean it up.
1:15:08
Speaker 13: Those are great points, Those are great points. But again
1:15:11
Speaker 13: that just the fact that you have these people out
1:15:14
Speaker 13: there right now. There are impersonators just as you mentioned,
1:15:17
Speaker 13: there's characters everywhere, right and it just seems like a
1:15:22
Speaker 13: there's a lot of chaos going on to your point,
1:15:25
Speaker 13: the fog.
1:15:25
Speaker 1: Of the news reporting and support.
1:15:27
Speaker 13: But there's plenty of videos, there's plenty of facts, there's
1:15:29
Speaker 13: plenty of court cases. The one I mentioned in South
1:15:32
Speaker 13: Carolina is file a lawsuit against the government.
1:15:35
Speaker 1: There you go again, we think twice, you know.
1:15:37
Speaker 2: See, now the ultimately if there was a law broken
1:15:42
Speaker 2: in connection with that, law enforcement officers picking that guy up,
1:15:44
Speaker 2: picking on him. Whatever, that man's going to have his
1:15:46
Speaker 2: day in court, and you got to wait for it.
1:15:49
Speaker 2: You can't draw a conclusion right now and say it
1:15:52
Speaker 2: is this way or that way. It was right, it
1:15:55
Speaker 2: was wrong. Neither you nor I really are fully aware.
1:15:58
Speaker 2: We weren't there at the time. We don't know was
1:16:00
Speaker 2: that guy being accosted because of the color of his
1:16:02
Speaker 2: skin or did they have a legitimate reason to pick
1:16:04
Speaker 2: him up. I don't know. But if they didn't have
1:16:06
Speaker 2: a legitimate reason, they violated his civil rights. They did
1:16:09
Speaker 2: abuse a US citizen. Trust me, he'll get paid out.
1:16:13
Speaker 2: He's gonna have to wait for it. Will the money
1:16:15
Speaker 2: compensate him for the hassle, his reputation, the perhaps online
1:16:19
Speaker 2: comments about him. I doubt it. But that's the system
1:16:22
Speaker 2: that we have here. At least you get something, you're
1:16:25
Speaker 2: allowed to go to court and fight over it. You're
1:16:26
Speaker 2: allowed to prove your case in front of the tryer
1:16:28
Speaker 2: of fact, and if you win, you've won. And if
1:16:30
Speaker 2: you didn't win, maybe there's a legitimate reason why. And
1:16:33
Speaker 2: we've been confused on what led to the arrest. It's
1:16:37
Speaker 2: got to wait for it. And so what I'm all
1:16:39
Speaker 2: about do we have time, Joe, real quick, Matt, thanks
1:16:42
Speaker 2: for calling this morning. Welcome to the show.
1:16:45
Speaker 14: Yeah, Brian, I got a little bit of levity here.
1:16:47
Speaker 14: I saw a movie over the weekend that reminded me
1:16:50
Speaker 14: of you and Joe and the show. Yeah, Joe used
1:16:53
Speaker 14: to have a lead in where Jeff Bridges came on
1:16:57
Speaker 14: there and said, I'm the dude. Well listen to this.
1:17:06
Speaker 8: Did you hear it?
1:17:06
Speaker 2: Yes, I heard it? Big Lebowski, Dude.
1:17:09
Speaker 12: That was an old movie.
1:17:12
Speaker 14: Chuck Connor said it, and he was talking about Gregory
1:17:16
Speaker 14: Peck being the dudes who had a Trumpian moment in
1:17:20
Speaker 14: the movie where he got shot by this Chuck Connors
1:17:25
Speaker 14: and it grazed his head. And this Gregory Peck character
1:17:29
Speaker 14: was all about courage and character and.
1:17:33
Speaker 12: Character.
1:17:34
Speaker 1: But anyway, thanks for appreciate that.
1:17:36
Speaker 2: Maybe a different conclusion can be drawn about The Big Lebowski,
1:17:39
Speaker 2: which is where our SoundBite comes from. Maybe the Coen
1:17:42
Speaker 2: Brothers saw that movie and then decided to incorporate the
1:17:46
Speaker 2: reference in their movie. I tend to doubt it, though,
1:17:50
Speaker 2: but I appreciate the call. I have a great day.
1:17:52
Speaker 2: Stick around. Christopher Smithman will be on next and you
1:17:55
Speaker 2: need to get in touch with USA installation. It's an
1:17:57
Speaker 2: ideal time to do. It's always an ideal time to
1:17:59
Speaker 2: get USA and in your home because if you're under

Speaker 2: Thankfully I have Christopher Smithman and former vice mayor of
1:18:59
Speaker 2: the City of Cincinnati, running for Cincinni City Council, hopefully
1:19:02
Speaker 2: victorious in November. Welcome back, my friend. It's time for
1:19:05
Speaker 2: the smith event, and thank you for taking the weight
1:19:07
Speaker 2: of the morning show off of my back for a
1:19:09
Speaker 2: little while.
1:19:13
Speaker 8: Ryan is always good to come on.
1:19:14
Speaker 7: I love it.
1:19:16
Speaker 8: I love your listening audience, and they love you immensely.
1:19:20
Speaker 8: You know, I'm want to start with some joy, you know,
1:19:23
Speaker 8: because and I'm not a big sports person, but you know,
1:19:26
Speaker 8: elder beat Moler.
1:19:28
Speaker 2: You were talking to me at the Bengals game.
1:19:31
Speaker 8: No, no, it is an amazing that high school football
1:19:35
Speaker 8: brother is driving our market. Is not the Bengals, It's
1:19:39
Speaker 8: not red right.
1:19:40
Speaker 2: Well, it's that age word hope. At least with high
1:19:45
Speaker 2: school football, regardless of which team you're reading for, you
1:19:48
Speaker 2: have some measure of.
1:19:49
Speaker 8: Hope exactly exactly. But you know, they won their their
1:19:54
Speaker 8: GCL championship, which is a big deal. So I know
1:19:58
Speaker 8: they're going to as a students are showing up today
1:20:00
Speaker 8: there if that's their super Bowl. They're fired up, and
1:20:05
Speaker 8: I think it's a good thing to mention their coach,
1:20:08
Speaker 8: coach Ramsey, and their principal, Principal Roughing. So congratulations to
1:20:14
Speaker 8: elder and and and each more success for the rest
1:20:19
Speaker 8: of the three games of the season they have left.
1:20:21
Speaker 8: But I think it's important to say that because people
1:20:24
Speaker 8: are walking around with their heads down a little bit
1:20:28
Speaker 8: thinking about the Bengals and thinking about the Reds as examples.
1:20:32
Speaker 8: But we had a there was a great game, and
1:20:35
Speaker 8: you know, my hat's off to those those young people.
1:20:37
Speaker 8: And you know, at the end of the day, you know,
1:20:39
Speaker 8: we sometimes are wondering where's the hope, you know, what's
1:20:42
Speaker 8: going on with our kids and all the chaoses out there.
1:20:45
Speaker 8: So it's also nice to highlight, you know, young people
1:20:49
Speaker 8: doing the right thing at the right time, with the
1:20:51
Speaker 8: right attitude. So congratulations to them now, little brother. Absolutely no, Look, brother,
1:20:58
Speaker 8: I have been doing a lot of door to door work,
1:21:01
Speaker 8: as you can imagine, right, and I can tell you
1:21:04
Speaker 8: it doesn't matter what neighborhood I'm in. I've never seen
1:21:09
Speaker 8: anything like what I'm talking about this morning, whether it
1:21:13
Speaker 8: is in Bond Hill or Roselawn, or whether I'm in
1:21:17
Speaker 8: Price Hill, whether I'm in Hyde Park or Outlookout, whether
1:21:23
Speaker 8: I'm in Spring Growth. I'm telling you here's the message.
1:21:28
Speaker 8: We are concerned about crime in our neighborhood, and city
1:21:34
Speaker 8: Hall is disconnected from our reality.
1:21:38
Speaker 2: That's what you're hearing. That's what you're hearing from the
1:21:40
Speaker 2: people on the after you knock on their door, and
1:21:42
Speaker 2: that's what they're telling you. That's a consistent message from
1:21:45
Speaker 2: regardless of what neighbors.
1:21:47
Speaker 8: That's right, sir, And I'm saying black, white, young, are
1:21:52
Speaker 8: old Latino. This is what they're saying. Like they lead
1:21:56
Speaker 8: with it, Smithaman, what are you going to do about crime?
1:22:00
Speaker 8: Crime is the number one issue I'm concerned some neighbors.
1:22:03
Speaker 8: Some people will say, Man, I don't feel safe going downtown.
1:22:07
Speaker 8: So they say it all kinds of different ways, but.
1:22:10
Speaker 4: They lead with that.
1:22:13
Speaker 8: And so when you have a mayor that keeps saying
1:22:17
Speaker 8: we're safe, we're safe, We're safe, it's your perception, not
1:22:22
Speaker 8: your reality. Crime is going down again. There is this
1:22:26
Speaker 8: big disconnected You've been talking about it all year because
1:22:30
Speaker 8: the reality of it is. We know that violent crime
1:22:33
Speaker 8: is up and people are very concerned about their safety.
1:22:37
Speaker 8: I was doing a door to door in Roseland on Saturday.
1:22:44
Speaker 8: So here I see a police police cruisers. I see
1:22:48
Speaker 8: the tape. This is no exaggeration. I go to the
1:22:52
Speaker 8: officer or the detective. He says, former Vice mayor, there's
1:22:56
Speaker 8: a dead body in there. Young man got shot. He's
1:23:00
Speaker 8: in the stairwell right now, dead. And I'm there in
1:23:04
Speaker 8: Roseline dropping literature. And this is two blocks down from
1:23:10
Speaker 8: Reverend Damon Lynch's church in Roseland. And this particular, this
1:23:15
Speaker 8: particular location, Brian has had at least three shootings in
1:23:20
Speaker 8: there this year, meaning this is a very active location.
1:23:26
Speaker 8: Obviously a very poor landlord, and clearly city Hall has
1:23:30
Speaker 8: their eye off the ball because it's a menace to
1:23:33
Speaker 8: a really nice neighborhood called Roseline. My point is that
1:23:38
Speaker 8: that's me just walking around. And so every neighbor who
1:23:43
Speaker 8: talked to me as I went door to door, because
1:23:45
Speaker 8: they heard the sirens, they knew that something bad had happened.
1:23:49
Speaker 8: That's what they were talking about, which makes sense. And
1:23:53
Speaker 8: so my message to city Hall, or my message to
1:23:56
Speaker 8: those who are running like Corey Bowman, who I am
1:23:59
Speaker 8: supporting because he has an upcoming debate this week. Is
1:24:03
Speaker 8: focused on what citizens are talking about, not what the
1:24:07
Speaker 8: mayor is talking about. Citizens want to know how are
1:24:11
Speaker 8: we going to deal with crime for them? That includes
1:24:14
Speaker 8: supporting our police. I didn't have one African American voter
1:24:20
Speaker 8: now a key, not one African American voter tell me
1:24:25
Speaker 8: they don't want the police. They didn't say I want
1:24:29
Speaker 8: to defund the police. I want to reimagine the police.
1:24:31
Speaker 8: They said, Smitherman, we got to support our police. We
1:24:35
Speaker 8: need more police. I don't feel safe. And it didn't
1:24:39
Speaker 8: matter whether I was talking to an African American citizen
1:24:42
Speaker 8: in Cincinnati or whether I was talking to a white citizen.
1:24:45
Speaker 8: So that is where they are. And this notion that
1:24:49
Speaker 8: African Americans don't want cops or don't support the police.
1:24:54
Speaker 8: I'm letting you know, I'm going door to door. It
1:24:56
Speaker 8: is absolutely a lie. What we have our loud voices,
1:25:01
Speaker 8: voices out there that are making people think that that's
1:25:05
Speaker 8: where African Americans are, and it's not where African American
1:25:09
Speaker 8: voters are. And I'm going to suggest it's not where
1:25:12
Speaker 8: the super super super majority of the African American community
1:25:16
Speaker 8: is we want good policing. They believe we have good policing.
1:25:20
Speaker 8: What they now want is the police.
1:25:23
Speaker 2: I love that message and I'm glad to hear it,
1:25:25
Speaker 2: and that just confirms what I suspected all along. Obviously
1:25:28
Speaker 2: you didn't knock on Iris Rollie's front door. Let's continue
1:25:31
Speaker 2: with Christopher Smith Amen coming up quick plumb type plumbing?
1:25:34
Speaker 2: Is plumbing done right? I've been pressed. It's seven point
1:25:39
Speaker 2: thirty three year fifty five. Care see the dark station.
1:25:41
Speaker 2: Were a little along the last second with Christopher Smith
1:25:43
Speaker 2: Amen doing the Smith event. But that's okay. We're going
1:25:45
Speaker 2: to continue now, let's go Christopher. What else is on
1:25:47
Speaker 2: your mind?
1:25:49
Speaker 1: Look?
1:25:49
Speaker 8: Brother, we have an election. Early voting starts tomorrow today.
1:25:53
Speaker 8: It's the last day to register to vote to participate
1:25:56
Speaker 8: in that election. And I think it's important to underschool
1:26:00
Speaker 8: or that you should not vote for nine people when
1:26:03
Speaker 8: voting for city council. There are still thousands and thousands
1:26:08
Speaker 8: of voters out there, no matter what neighborhood we canvassed
1:26:12
Speaker 8: who do not understand how the nine X system works
1:26:16
Speaker 8: in Cincinnati. And so if you want to flip council,
1:26:20
Speaker 8: you want to vote for those four or five people
1:26:23
Speaker 8: that you want to see get it, get elected and stop.
1:26:27
Speaker 8: Don't vote for anybody else. You're only voting for those
1:26:31
Speaker 8: people you want to win, So don't fill out nine slops.
1:26:35
Speaker 8: If you do that, you're doing nothing but deluting your ballot.
1:26:39
Speaker 8: So that is very very important. I like Linda Matthews,
1:26:43
Speaker 8: Keating Good and Smitherman, but somebody else might like something else.
1:26:49
Speaker 8: But it still doesn't have you go beyond four or
1:26:52
Speaker 8: five people that are running for city councilor if this
1:26:55
Speaker 8: is critical because if they're nine members of council, Brian,
1:26:59
Speaker 8: and if Cincinnati can get control of that body, that
1:27:04
Speaker 8: is another check to the mayor, meaning the mayor cannot
1:27:08
Speaker 8: do these wild initiatives without the consent of council. And
1:27:14
Speaker 8: so what you're trying to do is get a majority
1:27:16
Speaker 8: of council members that support our police. That's if you're
1:27:20
Speaker 8: in your mind you support the police. How could you
1:27:23
Speaker 8: vote for the current council members who are defunders, who
1:27:27
Speaker 8: are reimaginers, who are hiring consultants that are undermining law
1:27:31
Speaker 8: enforcement every other day? Why would you then cast votes
1:27:36
Speaker 8: for that collective body. So you're looking out there for
1:27:40
Speaker 8: new people that can come in and make a sizable
1:27:44
Speaker 8: change to move a direction that we are currently not
1:27:48
Speaker 8: in in a different direction. And then, of course Corey
1:27:51
Speaker 8: Bowman who's running for mayor, and as I walked in,
1:27:54
Speaker 8: I want to state this case for him. Look when
1:27:57
Speaker 8: he has this debate this week, I know that this
1:28:01
Speaker 8: mayor is going to start talking about who his brother is.
1:28:04
Speaker 8: I don't know who the mayor's brother is. I know
1:28:07
Speaker 8: who his mom and dad is. It's none of my
1:28:10
Speaker 8: business and it doesn't matter in the race, but that's
1:28:13
Speaker 8: a deflection for the mayor. If the mayor starts going
1:28:16
Speaker 8: down that road, it's because he doesn't want to talk
1:28:18
Speaker 8: about crime public he doesn't want to talk about roads.
1:28:21
Speaker 8: He doesn't want to talk about picking up snow and
1:28:24
Speaker 8: how horrible it was for all of us. I couldn't
1:28:26
Speaker 8: get my daughter to Seaton, not because the main roads
1:28:30
Speaker 8: weren't clear, it's because our side roads weren't touched, and
1:28:34
Speaker 8: so many other people experience that, whether it's a pothole
1:28:36
Speaker 8: of getting our garbage up. My bottom line to that
1:28:39
Speaker 8: is watch how the mayor this week's pivots to these
1:28:43
Speaker 8: things that don't matter, like who Christopher smither Man's brother is.
1:28:47
Speaker 8: My brother is herb Smitherman or James or Albert or
1:28:50
Speaker 8: Joe who cares? It doesn't matter. Focus on what's going
1:28:55
Speaker 8: to make the Cincinnati residents their life better and want
1:29:00
Speaker 8: to make that case as people are going in. Brian Thomas,
1:29:02
Speaker 8: I think is one of the most important elections we've
1:29:05
Speaker 8: had in a long time, just based on what we
1:29:08
Speaker 8: see happening with crime, how law enforcement is being treated.
1:29:13
Speaker 8: I spoke to officers. They are humiliated out here. They're
1:29:17
Speaker 8: morale Your sister, bless her soul. Bless her. She is
1:29:22
Speaker 8: a retired Cincinnati police officer. She absolutely understands morale is
1:29:27
Speaker 8: absolutely low. We've got to elect people who are going
1:29:30
Speaker 8: to support cops to go out there do proactive policing.
1:29:34
Speaker 8: This doesn't mean, Brian, that we're not going to support
1:29:37
Speaker 8: the collaborative Agreement or we're not going to do community
1:29:39
Speaker 8: based policing. These two things can happen at the same time.
1:29:43
Speaker 8: But I want cops walking up to you in downtown
1:29:46
Speaker 8: saying why are you here? If there's not a reason
1:29:48
Speaker 8: I'm detaining you and I'm taking you to another location.
1:29:52
Speaker 8: I'm not gonna let you just run around and destroy
1:29:54
Speaker 8: our core, our destroy parts of Clifton are destroy parts
1:29:58
Speaker 8: of High Park, and so we've got to We've got
1:30:02
Speaker 8: to elect people that are willing to stand up to
1:30:04
Speaker 8: these people, these bullies. And right now I think the
1:30:07
Speaker 8: mayor has been acting like a bully and he has
1:30:09
Speaker 8: nine members of council who just do exactly what he says.
1:30:13
Speaker 2: We'll bring Christopher smith Event back for one more seven
1:30:16
Speaker 2: thirty seven right now fifty five seven one fifty five
1:30:20
Speaker 2: Karrosite talk station. Another segment with former vice mayor of
1:30:23
Speaker 2: the City of Cincinnati, soon to be counselmen again, Christopher Smithman.
1:30:27
Speaker 2: Vote Smithmen in November and only a couple more of
1:30:29
Speaker 2: Smithman plus a couple more don't vote all nine. That
1:30:32
Speaker 2: said Christopher at the outset sound advice if you want
1:30:35
Speaker 2: to flip a counsel and go in the right direction.
1:30:36
Speaker 2: Christopher Smithman, what else is on your mind this morning?
1:30:39
Speaker 8: This this government shut down, elephant in the room. You know,
1:30:45
Speaker 8: this is why so many people are defecting from parties
1:30:48
Speaker 8: and they're moving and declaring that they're an independent because
1:30:52
Speaker 8: of this lack of compromise, lack of leadership. Sometimes that
1:30:56
Speaker 8: both on both sides. But what I will share here
1:30:59
Speaker 8: in this situation. This is just bad politics for the
1:31:03
Speaker 8: Democratic Party right here, and I hope that they understand that.
1:31:07
Speaker 8: As I go door to door, I can't tell you
1:31:11
Speaker 8: the number of people that said to me, I used
1:31:14
Speaker 8: to be a Democrat. I am no longer that because
1:31:18
Speaker 8: the party left me. I promise you I am not
1:31:23
Speaker 8: exaggerating when I tell you that. So there are a
1:31:26
Speaker 8: lot of people that are very concerned about the condition
1:31:30
Speaker 8: of their party. They don't like this conversation about defunding police,
1:31:34
Speaker 8: and they don't like this discussion about shutting down the government.
1:31:38
Speaker 8: And many of them believe that this is Senator Schumer
1:31:41
Speaker 8: who is attempting to not be flanked in the primary
1:31:44
Speaker 8: by the AOC, meaning this is about his political career,
1:31:49
Speaker 8: not about the country. And so they act as if
1:31:53
Speaker 8: we're dumb. I mean, the elected sometimes often act as
1:31:57
Speaker 8: if we don't understand what's really going going on out there.
1:32:01
Speaker 8: We absolutely do understand what's going on out there. And
1:32:05
Speaker 8: once you know, I'm a financial planner, right now, the
1:32:08
Speaker 8: market isn't taking it serious. Once the market starts taking
1:32:12
Speaker 8: this thing serious, there are going to be differences and
1:32:15
Speaker 8: how the market starts to react to what's happening here,
1:32:18
Speaker 8: So the window is closing on opening up our government
1:32:23
Speaker 8: and things like our tsa you know being meaning you know,
1:32:27
Speaker 8: if there's a if there is some type of crisis,
1:32:30
Speaker 8: Brian Thomas in the middle of all of this, and
1:32:32
Speaker 8: I'm not calling for that. I don't even want to
1:32:34
Speaker 8: even say it out loud. This will be absolutely devastating
1:32:39
Speaker 8: to the Democratic Party. So they've got to come to
1:32:42
Speaker 8: the table and if if the if the block is
1:32:45
Speaker 8: we meaning this country is saying, are many of the
1:32:48
Speaker 8: Republicans on the other side who are currently controlling the Congress,
1:32:52
Speaker 8: and the and the and the Senate are saying, Look,
1:32:55
Speaker 8: I want you to reassure me that anybody who came
1:32:59
Speaker 8: to this country illegally, that we're not going to provide
1:33:03
Speaker 8: healthcare benefits that we should be providing for Americans and
1:33:07
Speaker 8: veterans and poor people no matter where they are. We're
1:33:11
Speaker 8: not going to give those benefits to anybody who's here
1:33:14
Speaker 8: in our country illegally. Why not just explicitly say that
1:33:19
Speaker 8: they think we're dumb, meaning at the end of the day,
1:33:22
Speaker 8: if you're saying that's not what this is about, then
1:33:24
Speaker 8: just explicitly say.
1:33:26
Speaker 2: Well, you know they can't Christopher, their Continuing Resolution version
1:33:30
Speaker 2: which does it deletes the one Big Beautiful Bill provision,
1:33:33
Speaker 2: which especially prohibits illegal immigrants from getting his aid. It
1:33:37
Speaker 2: says it in black and white if you read, and
1:33:39
Speaker 2: it's very difficult reading because all legislation like this is
1:33:42
Speaker 2: but if you've got all the resource material and the
1:33:44
Speaker 2: reference material all stacked up together, that's what it boils
1:33:47
Speaker 2: down to, period. And they can't argue anything in the contrary.
1:33:49
Speaker 2: That's why you don't hear them rejecting that notion, because
1:33:52
Speaker 2: it literally what they want literally does just that.
1:33:56
Speaker 15: And you know the.
1:33:58
Speaker 8: Agree with you.
1:33:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you.
1:34:00
Speaker 8: I'm saying in negotiations, I want Democrats, Republicans and independence
1:34:05
Speaker 8: to just think about this if that if the Democrats
1:34:08
Speaker 8: are saying, that's not what it's about, and the Republicans
1:34:11
Speaker 8: are saying that's not what it's about, Okay, I'm saying.
1:34:14
Speaker 8: If I'm on the Democratic side, what I say is
1:34:16
Speaker 8: I'm going to take that away from you by just
1:34:19
Speaker 8: making sure I say clearly I re emphasize in lighting
1:34:25
Speaker 8: that none of these dollars are going to go see
1:34:27
Speaker 8: anyone who is coming to the country illegally, and we
1:34:29
Speaker 8: open up the government. You and I both know that
1:34:32
Speaker 8: that's not the truth. Their agenda is just the opposite
1:34:36
Speaker 8: of what you and I are discussing, right.
1:34:38
Speaker 2: And so they're shutting down the American government. That serves well,
1:34:43
Speaker 2: just work with me and don't start arguing me. That
1:34:44
Speaker 2: doesn't serve us, But I get your point, but serves
1:34:47
Speaker 2: all American people. They're shutting it down over the extension
1:34:51
Speaker 2: of healthcare benefits for I think only roughly one point
1:34:54
Speaker 2: five million people are impacted by this, this four hundred
1:34:58
Speaker 2: percent of income cap that was in the original legislation
1:35:00
Speaker 2: that they only got rid of because of COVID, which
1:35:03
Speaker 2: doesn't exist anymore. That the original provision ended at the
1:35:06
Speaker 2: end of this year under the Democrat's own hand. When
1:35:08
Speaker 2: they wrote at the outset, they knew this day was coming,
1:35:11
Speaker 2: but they figured, we get used to these incentives, these
1:35:15
Speaker 2: tax right off things that basically have the American taxpayer
1:35:19
Speaker 2: covering the cost of the premiums for everybody that's on it.
1:35:22
Speaker 2: They wrote that into the equation. Now it's the chickens
1:35:25
Speaker 2: have come home to Ruiz. People got used to that
1:35:26
Speaker 2: and see that it's disappearing. It would have disappeared anyway,
1:35:29
Speaker 2: I mean, so.
1:35:33
Speaker 8: They can't. We can't pay for all of this.
1:35:34
Speaker 2: No, we can't.
1:35:36
Speaker 8: What I'm what I'm paying in federal taxes is insane. Right,
1:35:41
Speaker 8: we can't cover all of this public. This is not
1:35:45
Speaker 8: about whether we're we don't have a heart or not.
1:35:48
Speaker 8: Lots of people have hearts. That's why they're charities out here.
1:35:51
Speaker 8: They give money to charities. But the United States of
1:35:54
Speaker 8: America has to look out for its own citizens, and
1:35:58
Speaker 8: that's what we're having this discussion about. We have veterans
1:36:01
Speaker 8: that are homeless, that have fought in wars, lost the
1:36:04
Speaker 8: leg and they're out there sleeping in a tent in
1:36:07
Speaker 8: your community. They're not getting the benefits that they need.
1:36:11
Speaker 8: But we're talking about providing benefits for others who are
1:36:15
Speaker 8: who have jumped the fence, jumped the line. See what
1:36:18
Speaker 8: they try to do is make you and I and
1:36:21
Speaker 8: others think like we're not for legal immigration, and they
1:36:26
Speaker 8: try to call us racist, our uncle Tom's or people
1:36:29
Speaker 8: that are not connected You and I and others. All
1:36:32
Speaker 8: of us support legal immigration. Most people, if not all
1:36:37
Speaker 8: of us in this country came from somewhere else other
1:36:40
Speaker 8: no matter what the circumstance was. We support legal and
1:36:44
Speaker 8: those people that are in the country legally, who are citizens.
1:36:47
Speaker 8: This has no impact on them. The discussion we're having is,
1:36:51
Speaker 8: if you jump the fence, you jumped over the line,
1:36:55
Speaker 8: and now you're here. Why do we have a party
1:36:58
Speaker 8: that seems to be focusing on protecting criminals, protecting people
1:37:03
Speaker 8: that are here illegally. And that's when I knock on doors,
1:37:06
Speaker 8: and so many Independents and Democrats are telling me their
1:37:10
Speaker 8: party has left them. Brian Thomas, I didn't leave my party.
1:37:14
Speaker 8: They left me. And I'm not understanding their direction that
1:37:18
Speaker 8: they are going in. I'm not getting all of this
1:37:21
Speaker 8: because every time they turn the TV on you and
1:37:23
Speaker 8: I see and it sounds like their language is we're
1:37:26
Speaker 8: protecting criminals, We're putting them first, not those of law
1:37:31
Speaker 8: by the law abiding citizens. And they're talking about providing
1:37:35
Speaker 8: health care benefits for those who come to the country illegally,
1:37:39
Speaker 8: when we have so many Americans that don't have health
1:37:42
Speaker 8: care themselves.
1:37:45
Speaker 2: Amen, preaching the gospel there, Christopher Smithlan as always a
1:37:52
Speaker 2: couple of people chiming in how much they enjoy your
1:37:54
Speaker 2: logic and reason as you were speaking this morning, and
1:37:56
Speaker 2: I thoroughly agree.
1:37:57
Speaker 1: I love you, brother, love I appreciate you so much.
1:37:59
Speaker 2: Brian's going to impact the stoff nor what will it
1:38:02
Speaker 2: impact social security? Will it impact Snap and Wick benefits?
1:38:06
Speaker 2: Brian James on that, followed by a judge Christopher McDowell.
1:38:08
Speaker 2: He's going to show up in the studio to let
1:38:10
Speaker 2: you know about the Shenanigans declaration made against the Clerk
1:38:13
Speaker 2: of Courts to me at listener to lunch of Jim
1:38:16
Speaker 2: and Jacks Weal, good guy, he's only been on the
1:38:18
Speaker 2: bench a short period of time. But we'll hear what
1:38:20
Speaker 2: that is coming up at eight thirty the meantime. I'm
1:38:24
Speaker 2: not sure if it's true, but on the heels of
1:38:25
Speaker 2: Christopher Smithman talking about the well the residents of the
1:38:28
Speaker 2: city of Cincinnati being very concerned about crime, apparently none
1:38:33
Speaker 2: of them talked about climate change. And I hope this
1:38:37
Speaker 2: is accurate. I'm going to read it because I trust
1:38:39
Speaker 2: the source. Laura, appreciate you forwarding the tweet. The post
1:38:45
Speaker 2: and it's attributed to aftab for mayor where he was
1:38:49
Speaker 2: at Avondal Town Center and this is what he posted.
1:38:53
Speaker 2: I'm guessing it's accurate. Someone out there who received this
1:38:55
Speaker 2: may be able to confirm or deny quote. Climate change
1:38:59
Speaker 2: hurts everyone, but it hurts our black and brown communities
1:39:03
Speaker 2: the most. Pause for a moment, you go ahead and
1:39:05
Speaker 2: decide whether you believe that to be true or not. Anyway,
1:39:09
Speaker 2: he goes on, that's why local leaders need to step
1:39:12
Speaker 2: up and confront systemic racism. We here in Cincinnati are
1:39:18
Speaker 2: proud to be the first city you know how to
1:39:19
Speaker 2: pass comprehensive zoning reform connected communities, I interjected that legalize
1:39:26
Speaker 2: housing is housing illegal? I suppose only if there are
1:39:30
Speaker 2: regulations that micromanage whether or not there could be housing
1:39:33
Speaker 2: in any given neighborhood. Talk to Corey Bowman about that.
1:39:36
Speaker 2: Apparently there are significant impediments to well building what you'll
1:39:40
Speaker 2: want to build in any given neighborhood in the city
1:39:42
Speaker 2: of Cincinnati, A problem that wouldn't exist if there weren't
1:39:44
Speaker 2: so many heavy handed regulations from the City of Cincinnati, like, oh,
1:39:47
Speaker 2: I don't know connected communities for example. Anyway, So past
1:39:51
Speaker 2: comprehensive zoning reform, he says HM legalizing housing, increasing density
1:40:00
Speaker 2: in other words, no single family home for you. You
1:40:01
Speaker 2: must live in an apartment my interpretation. Expanding public transportation,
1:40:06
Speaker 2: this is just the beginning.
1:40:09
Speaker 1: Now.
1:40:09
Speaker 2: Among the things that have to have pur of all
1:40:10
Speaker 2: believed to be prominent in the hearts and minds of
1:40:12
Speaker 2: the residents of the city of Cincinnati, as evidenced by
1:40:14
Speaker 2: this text. AH contrast that with what Christopher Smithman is
1:40:19
Speaker 2: hearing with his own ears as he walks around the
1:40:22
Speaker 2: various communities, And there are a variety of different ones
1:40:24
Speaker 2: in the city of Cincinnati. Everyone seems to be worried
1:40:27
Speaker 2: about crime, and I imagine some of them may be
1:40:31
Speaker 2: commented on infrastructure problems as well. We have a priority
1:40:35
Speaker 2: problem that can be addressed. It can be you just
1:40:40
Speaker 2: have to think a different way and trust that maybe
1:40:44
Speaker 2: a different direction for the city in November will help.
1:40:49
Speaker 2: Right now, you know what you're getting. Are you happy
1:40:51
Speaker 2: with it? If you're unhappy with the current administration, is
1:40:56
Speaker 2: it so bad that you say, well, hell, I'm going
1:40:58
Speaker 2: to take a flyer and give Corey Bowman shot. What
1:41:02
Speaker 2: has Corey Bowman's suggested in terms of the direction of
1:41:04
Speaker 2: the city of Cincinnati that you find specifically erroneous, wrong
1:41:08
Speaker 2: or offensive. I'm trying to be objective about this. You
1:41:13
Speaker 2: know how I feel about the priorities of aftab parvol
1:41:15
Speaker 2: I disagree if his priorities were crime and infrastructure, I'd
1:41:19
Speaker 2: be encouraging you to vote for him if he was
1:41:21
Speaker 2: delivering on that. Help have to have purvol continue delivering
1:41:25
Speaker 2: on crime and infrastructure. But that's not what he's running on.
1:41:28
Speaker 2: In fact, as Christopher pointed out, as you and I
1:41:31
Speaker 2: both know, he's trying to convince you that you don't
1:41:34
Speaker 2: believe your own eyes or your own ears, and that
1:41:37
Speaker 2: you need to think about climate change. Huh. One big
1:41:42
Speaker 2: world we live in. We're all breathing the same air,
1:41:44
Speaker 2: and we breathe what China belches out into the world
1:41:47
Speaker 2: every single day. Think about that in the context of
1:41:50
Speaker 2: can the city of Cincinnati really impact climate change with
1:41:52
Speaker 2: its dense housing? No, of course not seven fifty six
1:41:57
Speaker 2: Right now, if you have KCIT Talks Station Money Money

Speaker 2: Money matters. It's time for Money Monday with Brian James.
1:42:24
Speaker 2: Welcome back, Brian, Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Just
1:42:27
Speaker 2: ignore the Bengals.
1:42:28
Speaker 12: Yeah.
1:42:30
Speaker 16: We usually start with sports only, but I'm lost. I'm
1:42:32
Speaker 16: just kind of wander I don't know what. How do
1:42:33
Speaker 16: we kick this off here today?
1:42:34
Speaker 1: Yeah?
1:42:35
Speaker 2: Did you have any did you have any hope with
1:42:36
Speaker 2: the so called late game rally? I mean, oh my god,
1:42:39
Speaker 2: the Bengals just got a touchdown. They're gonna think they
1:42:41
Speaker 2: had like three minutes left in the game. My wife
1:42:43
Speaker 2: looked at me, she goes like, they're gonna be able
1:42:45
Speaker 2: to come back from this.
1:42:46
Speaker 17: Wow, the Bengals have figured out to prevent defense and
1:42:48
Speaker 17: we're able to score twice when they were down by
1:42:50
Speaker 17: four scores.
1:42:51
Speaker 16: Yeah, somehow that's not exciting.
1:42:53
Speaker 2: And thank god the opposing team does commit some penalties
1:42:56
Speaker 2: resulting in or nearing to our benefit. Otherwise, you know,
1:42:59
Speaker 2: you don't even have a glimmer anyway, Brian James.
1:43:01
Speaker 1: Who day?
1:43:02
Speaker 16: Brian, who Day? Is what we're really trying to say here.
1:43:04
Speaker 2: It is it is all right now. I'm looking at
1:43:07
Speaker 2: the staw at the front of the Wall Street Jonal
1:43:09
Speaker 2: right now, Dal Jones futures up a scoch s and
1:43:12
Speaker 2: p up a scosh. Nasdaq futures up a scosh. Looks
1:43:15
Speaker 2: like everybody's ignoring the government shutdown. I guess it doesn't
1:43:18
Speaker 2: impact the stock market, or does it?
1:43:20
Speaker 17: Brian James, Well, and any headline like that is you
1:43:24
Speaker 17: can't say it doesn't have an impact, because these are
1:43:26
Speaker 17: things that do trickle down eventually, but these aren't immediate impact.
1:43:30
Speaker 17: We've had shutdowns shutdowns before.
1:43:32
Speaker 2: This is not a new thing.
1:43:34
Speaker 17: It's just a it's a temper tantrum that happens pretty regularly,
1:43:37
Speaker 17: like clockwork. Once we get in certain political situations. We
1:43:40
Speaker 17: got to run the football back and forth. But no,
1:43:42
Speaker 17: this is not something we're overly concerned about having a
1:43:45
Speaker 17: major major impact on the overall government, so that the
1:43:49
Speaker 17: overall stock market rather. The longest shutdown we ever had
1:43:52
Speaker 17: was in twenty eighteen, and that lasted about thirty five days.
1:43:55
Speaker 17: The rest of them average about five to seven days,
1:43:57
Speaker 17: So who knows where we're going to be. We're already
1:43:59
Speaker 17: several days into this one, and there doesn't seem to
1:44:01
Speaker 17: be any much willingness to come to the table. But
1:44:03
Speaker 17: it does not benefit anyone to permanently shut down the government.
1:44:07
Speaker 17: That doesn't help either side, no matter what.
1:44:08
Speaker 16: Where, which aslier or which side of the asl you're on.
1:44:11
Speaker 17: But so the anticipation is that eventually we're going to
1:44:14
Speaker 17: sort ourselves out and come to some kind of begrudging
1:44:16
Speaker 17: agreement and move on with our lives.
1:44:18
Speaker 2: Well, I've seen the cost of the government shutdown translated
1:44:21
Speaker 2: into like impact on the economy that grow GDP like
1:44:25
Speaker 2: fifteen billion dollars a week. I mean, part of me
1:44:30
Speaker 2: wants to suggest that I did earlier in the program
1:44:32
Speaker 2: that well, you know, there's the make work that the
1:44:34
Speaker 2: government creates. In other words, you know, they they create
1:44:38
Speaker 2: opportunities and create new businesses from a whole cloth. I mean,
1:44:43
Speaker 2: you know, tell people you have to capture carbon, and
1:44:45
Speaker 2: next thing you know, there's a whole bunch of businesses
1:44:46
Speaker 2: popping up that are serving the purpose of capturing carbon,
1:44:49
Speaker 2: which wasn't even an issue five minutes prior. So they
1:44:53
Speaker 2: do impact what we do and how we live our lives.
1:44:56
Speaker 2: Brian I was arguing about the tax code, how many
1:44:58
Speaker 2: accountants are employed because the tax coat is so blank
1:45:01
Speaker 2: and complicated.
1:45:03
Speaker 17: It was three presidential elections ago on that specific topic,
1:45:06
Speaker 17: I believe that we were all going to be doing
1:45:07
Speaker 17: them on index cards.
1:45:08
Speaker 16: He did kind of go away.
1:45:09
Speaker 6: It did.
1:45:10
Speaker 17: The Into It lobby had an awful lot to do
1:45:12
Speaker 17: with that. Into It being the company behind TurboTax.
1:45:14
Speaker 2: There you go and an entire multi multi Can you
1:45:17
Speaker 2: imagine how much impact of the gross domestic product if
1:45:19
Speaker 2: you got rid of accountants and the need for them
1:45:22
Speaker 2: because you well turned the tax code into something that's
1:45:24
Speaker 2: easy to do by yourself without any assistance. They can't
1:45:27
Speaker 2: do that. Oh my god, we all die.
1:45:30
Speaker 17: The federal government is the largest customer of everybody's business
1:45:34
Speaker 17: on the face of the earth. It simply is, there's
1:45:37
Speaker 17: just that much money that circulates through the United States
1:45:39
Speaker 17: federal government. So yes, as these as we slow things down,
1:45:44
Speaker 17: then you know, we have a lot of people who
1:45:45
Speaker 17: are now unemployed because the departments were shut down. Some
1:45:47
Speaker 17: of them are coming back to work because courts are
1:45:49
Speaker 17: ruling that they shouldn't have been unemployed in the first place.
1:45:52
Speaker 17: I'm referring, of course, the federal workers here just during
1:45:55
Speaker 17: this year as we've.
1:45:56
Speaker 16: Shut things down. So yeah, there's definitely an impact there.
1:45:59
Speaker 17: And so this government shutdown started on October first, and
1:46:03
Speaker 17: it has already silenced that most consequential release of this month,
1:46:06
Speaker 17: that is the September Employment report. So if this lasts
1:46:09
Speaker 17: for three more weeks, the September CPI inflation numbers are
1:46:11
Speaker 17: also going to have to be withheld, and the October
1:46:14
Speaker 17: labor survey is not going to get announced either, because
1:46:16
Speaker 17: we don't do these things anymore during a shutdown. So
1:46:19
Speaker 17: we're thinking this is pretty much transitory. We've been through
1:46:22
Speaker 17: this before, and prior episodes of shutdowns suggest that these
1:46:25
Speaker 17: furloughed workers will come back with back pay, so that
1:46:29
Speaker 17: is what has happened in the past.
1:46:30
Speaker 16: So you're exactly correct.
1:46:31
Speaker 17: A call out if we're not doing things and that
1:46:33
Speaker 17: means money is not circulating the way it normally does.
1:46:36
Speaker 2: That is absolutely true.
1:46:37
Speaker 17: But historically speaking, we've brought these workers back and given
1:46:40
Speaker 17: them their backpay, so that should settle itself out well.
1:46:43
Speaker 2: And you know, I know the blame game is being pointed,
1:46:46
Speaker 2: and I think at least in so far as US
1:46:48
Speaker 2: keeping continuing funding levels from last year's budget levels, those
1:46:51
Speaker 2: were the Democrats numbers, that seems to be the right
1:46:55
Speaker 2: step for the Republicans. Dude, We're giving you everything you
1:46:57
Speaker 2: wanted last year, and we're going to continue that until
1:47:00
Speaker 2: and here's my problem, we finish up the twelve appropriations bill.
1:47:03
Speaker 2: So both sides are blamed because they don't do their
1:47:05
Speaker 2: damn job. They haven't done the twelve appropriations bills since
1:47:08
Speaker 2: like nineteen ninety seven or something crazy like that, so
1:47:11
Speaker 2: you know, damn all of them.
1:47:13
Speaker 17: Yeah, I completely agree. I think I think we've just
1:47:15
Speaker 17: had a point of just just absolute dysfunction. The necessity
1:47:19
Speaker 17: of moving forward will force a break at some point.
1:47:22
Speaker 17: Somebody's going to have to blink, because this is just
1:47:25
Speaker 17: one gigantic game of chicken. We can't shut down the
1:47:27
Speaker 17: federal government for months upon months or years upon years.
1:47:30
Speaker 17: It simply isn't going to work that way, and it's
1:47:32
Speaker 17: going to hurt everyone, which means nobody gets reelected.
1:47:35
Speaker 16: That's what we're doing right now.
1:47:36
Speaker 17: I think we're in the phase of this where we
1:47:38
Speaker 17: have to fight fight, fight, fight, fight so that and
1:47:40
Speaker 17: give no ground whatsoever so that we will get reelected.
1:47:43
Speaker 17: We haven't hit the point yet where voters demand, hey,
1:47:45
Speaker 17: get together and sort this stuff out so we can
1:47:47
Speaker 17: all move on with our lives. Right now, everybody is
1:47:49
Speaker 17: simply posturing themselves for their own reelections.
1:47:51
Speaker 2: Well, and going back to the word, eventually, the markets
1:47:54
Speaker 2: will eventually start to react to this shutdown. Obviously it
1:47:59
Speaker 2: hasn't happened yet. I don't know what they're going to
1:48:00
Speaker 2: do this week. But assuming for the sake of discussion,
1:48:03
Speaker 2: we have to look back to that longest government shutdown period.
1:48:06
Speaker 2: How long did it take, if you recall, for the
1:48:08
Speaker 2: markets to actually reflect the shutdown in the numbers.
1:48:12
Speaker 17: So it really wasn't that big of a deal in
1:48:16
Speaker 17: back in twenty eighteen when the federal government shut down
1:48:18
Speaker 17: for just a few weeks, well thirty five days or
1:48:20
Speaker 17: so it was. So that was the longest one in history,
1:48:23
Speaker 17: and it did have a real impact, but it was
1:48:25
Speaker 17: pretty temporary. So the shutdown started December twenty second of
1:48:28
Speaker 17: eighteen and ended January twenty fifth of nineteen, and this
1:48:32
Speaker 17: was over we were already in a broader market sell
1:48:35
Speaker 17: off that was happening due to trade tensions and federal
1:48:37
Speaker 17: rate hikes in December of twenty eighteen. That month, the
1:48:40
Speaker 17: S and P five hundred had dropped nearly ten percent,
1:48:43
Speaker 17: and that was the worst December since the Great Depression
1:48:45
Speaker 17: at that time.
1:48:45
Speaker 16: But that was before the actual shutdown, right, So.
1:48:48
Speaker 17: By late January of twenty nineteen when it was over,
1:48:50
Speaker 17: the market had come back sharply. The S and P
1:48:52
Speaker 17: five hundred rebounded about eight percent within two weeks, and
1:48:55
Speaker 17: it just looked more It looked at that time more
1:48:58
Speaker 17: like a temporary market get swing, where we always talk
1:49:01
Speaker 17: about the market can handle bad news.
1:49:03
Speaker 2: It loves good news.
1:49:04
Speaker 17: What it can't handle, what it absolutely hates is no news.
1:49:07
Speaker 17: So while we're wondering exactly what's going on, the market
1:49:10
Speaker 17: will wander and money will find its way to less
1:49:13
Speaker 17: risky assets until we can tell exactly what's coming, until
1:49:16
Speaker 17: we can kind of see through the fog.
1:49:17
Speaker 1: A little bit.
1:49:17
Speaker 2: So once the government shutdowns over that quote unquote threat
1:49:20
Speaker 2: to the economy is alleviated and things returned to normal.
1:49:24
Speaker 2: Once the government opens back up under the twenty nineteen law,
1:49:27
Speaker 2: every federal employee is going to get their back pay.
1:49:29
Speaker 2: They're not going to be deprived to pay. So that's
1:49:31
Speaker 2: over with. When we reflect back on all the government
1:49:33
Speaker 2: shutdowns that we've lived through, and even knows that we
1:49:35
Speaker 2: haven't personally lived through, we see that the world did
1:49:37
Speaker 2: not end and everything kind of came back to status quo.
1:49:40
Speaker 2: So there's no I mean to the average my average listener,
1:49:46
Speaker 2: they're like, screw it. I don't care that the government
1:49:48
Speaker 2: shut down because it always goes back to the way
1:49:51
Speaker 2: it was beforehand and nobody ultimately gets hurt.
1:49:53
Speaker 16: Yeah, and I am your average listener. I am my
1:49:56
Speaker 16: own client.
1:49:56
Speaker 17: And that's the way I think about my own family
1:49:58
Speaker 17: and my own dollars. There's nothing going on in the
1:50:00
Speaker 17: headlines right now that causes me to say, you know what,
1:50:02
Speaker 17: I really need to go deal with my portfolio or
1:50:04
Speaker 17: do something different change my financial life around that. That's
1:50:07
Speaker 17: just not the case. This is no fun to go through,
1:50:09
Speaker 17: and it's gonna hurt. There's no way, there's no sacrifice
1:50:12
Speaker 17: that's going to be made. So, for example, in that year,
1:50:14
Speaker 17: the estimate is that by federal workers missing those paychecks,
1:50:17
Speaker 17: even though they got backpay, that still pulled about about
1:50:20
Speaker 17: eleven billion dollars out of the GDP that quarter, but
1:50:24
Speaker 17: about about eight billion of it was recovered when those
1:50:27
Speaker 17: paychecks finally went out again, meaning the net loss was
1:50:29
Speaker 17: three billion dollars worth of economic activity. That is nothing
1:50:33
Speaker 17: when we talk about trillions. So I'm not holding my
1:50:36
Speaker 17: breath that there's really gonna.
1:50:37
Speaker 16: Be anything all that momentous. Don't run around and change
1:50:39
Speaker 16: your four O one K based on these headlines.
1:50:41
Speaker 2: Well, and I suppose it suggests to politicians who think
1:50:44
Speaker 2: they're going to get some sort of leg up based
1:50:46
Speaker 2: upon the government shutdown being someone else's fault. We don't
1:50:51
Speaker 2: care enough out here about the government shutdown to make
1:50:54
Speaker 2: that resonate as a political message. I know it's politics
1:50:56
Speaker 2: brought out money, Brian, but that's kind of what I'm
1:50:58
Speaker 2: concluding here.
1:51:00
Speaker 16: Yeah, I would. I would say that's the case.
1:51:01
Speaker 17: Now this drags on and on and on, then absolutely
1:51:04
Speaker 17: it will start to trickle through.
1:51:05
Speaker 16: That's when people are going to start to notice.
1:51:07
Speaker 17: But right now and then, I think the first people
1:51:08
Speaker 17: place people would see that is in therefore in case,
1:51:10
Speaker 17: because the market would start to say, you know what,
1:51:12
Speaker 17: this has gone on too long.
1:51:13
Speaker 16: We're going to pull back here a little bit. But
1:51:15
Speaker 16: that is not We're nowhere near that stage right now.
1:51:17
Speaker 2: But we may be near the cost of living adjustment
1:51:19
Speaker 2: and social security and maybe, just maybe this shutdown may
1:51:23
Speaker 2: have an impact on snapping Wick benefits. Brian's going to
1:51:25
Speaker 2: answer those two questions in the next segment. Stick around.
1:51:28
Speaker 2: It's just shy of eight fifteen, right, now, and it's
1:51:30
Speaker 2: opportunity for you to mention Wolve Zimmer Heating and Cooling.
1:51:32
Speaker 2: Who's been the trusted name, Hey Monday with all the
1:51:34
Speaker 2: financials Brian James financial planner he is, and someone who's
1:51:38
Speaker 2: going to tell about this, tell us about this government
1:51:40
Speaker 2: shutdown is going to impact Social Security, is going to
1:51:42
Speaker 2: impact SNAP and work benefits. Let's start with Social Security.
1:51:45
Speaker 2: The Social Security recipients are eligible for a nice sizable
1:51:49
Speaker 2: cost of living adjustment. Unlike Joe Strecker, they get one,
1:51:52
Speaker 2: but the Bureau of Labor Statistics has to do some
1:51:54
Speaker 2: number crunching before that can happen. I guess the BLS
1:51:57
Speaker 2: is kind of shut down during the shutdown, so we
1:52:00
Speaker 2: aren't going to get the stats needed to do a
1:52:01
Speaker 2: cola adjustment.
1:52:02
Speaker 17: Yeah, go figure, right, So as soon as we need
1:52:06
Speaker 17: the we need some new numbers here, we don't have
1:52:08
Speaker 17: them because we did choose to not report them here
1:52:11
Speaker 17: very recently.
1:52:11
Speaker 2: So this is good.
1:52:13
Speaker 17: So this shutdown that began October first, that could delay
1:52:15
Speaker 17: the announcement of the twenty twenty six Social Security cola
1:52:18
Speaker 17: cost of living adjustments that normally happens right in the
1:52:20
Speaker 17: middle of October. And like you said, it's a Bureau
1:52:23
Speaker 17: of Labor Statistics. They were told to suspend data collection
1:52:27
Speaker 17: until we can sort things out, supposedly, and the specifically
1:52:30
Speaker 17: for the September CPI. That's the last piece we needed
1:52:33
Speaker 17: to to finish off that COLA calculation. Now, importantly, I
1:52:37
Speaker 17: want to make sure that that nobody is hearing me
1:52:38
Speaker 17: saying that checks aren't gonna go out.
1:52:40
Speaker 16: That's got anohing no no, no, no, no no no.
1:52:42
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:52:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, very important qualification. You will get your Social Security check.
1:52:46
Speaker 2: It just may not be increased for the cola. But
1:52:49
Speaker 2: how much money? Let's just cut to the chase on
1:52:51
Speaker 2: this one, Brian, because I saw the article that you
1:52:53
Speaker 2: provided in connection with this. You know, I seniors are
1:52:57
Speaker 2: entitled to this. It's going to be delayed. It'll probably
1:52:59
Speaker 2: come up eventually when the government opens back up. But
1:53:02
Speaker 2: can you live without maybe fifty four dollars additional money
1:53:06
Speaker 2: in your payment each month?
1:53:07
Speaker 14: Yeah?
1:53:07
Speaker 17: Let's recall that this this wasn't a whopper that was
1:53:10
Speaker 17: coming anyway. So analysts had already been projecting about a
1:53:12
Speaker 17: two point seven to two point eight percent increase in
1:53:15
Speaker 17: Social Security so it wasn't going to be a huge
1:53:17
Speaker 17: change too Now, now, that's a lot for some people.
1:53:19
Speaker 17: I don't mean to say that, no, no, no, every
1:53:21
Speaker 17: nickel counts. But at the same time, this isn't going
1:53:23
Speaker 17: to put somebody on the street instantly. It would be
1:53:26
Speaker 17: nice if we could get our stuff together as a
1:53:28
Speaker 17: country and figure out exactly how we're going to move
1:53:29
Speaker 17: forward on these things. But I guess we're going to
1:53:31
Speaker 17: go through some convulsions before we get there.
1:53:33
Speaker 2: But fundamentally the check will come a question be how
1:53:36
Speaker 2: much it is. So now moving over to some critical
1:53:40
Speaker 2: service lease for some folks, the SNAP Supplemental Assistance Program
1:53:46
Speaker 2: and WICK benefits. How about these because I know some
1:53:48
Speaker 2: people are suggesting they're not going to go through, but
1:53:50
Speaker 2: in other places I've read now they're going to continue
1:53:52
Speaker 2: just like this a security Yeah, so there's.
1:53:55
Speaker 16: Two different programs happening here.
1:53:56
Speaker 17: So there's SNAP and WICK is the one that's more
1:53:59
Speaker 17: at risk because the way it works, so WICK stands
1:54:01
Speaker 17: for women, infants, and children, and that basically is very
1:54:04
Speaker 17: specific to single women and children up to age five.
1:54:09
Speaker 17: This is a discretionary program, so this means that it
1:54:12
Speaker 17: has to be voted on yearly from Congress to stay funded.
1:54:15
Speaker 17: So as soon as the government shuts down, it goes
1:54:17
Speaker 17: away immediately. That could run out of funds within one
1:54:20
Speaker 17: or two weeks, according on This is from the that's
1:54:21
Speaker 17: from the White House's own budget office. That will affect
1:54:24
Speaker 17: food assistants for about six million mothers and young children nationwide. Now,
1:54:28
Speaker 17: the other one is SNAP. That's the Supplemental Nutritional Program
1:54:32
Speaker 17: and all the different states. It's federal money, but the
1:54:35
Speaker 17: states administer it. Some states have their own program called
1:54:38
Speaker 17: something else. So, for example, California calls SNAP, CalFresh, Ohio
1:54:42
Speaker 17: simply chooses to call SNAP SNAP to keep it simple.
1:54:45
Speaker 17: So October's payments, so these are EBT cards. You see
1:54:48
Speaker 17: signs at the cash register reflecting ebt cards. That's the
1:54:51
Speaker 17: SNAP program. October's payments were already loaded onto those ebt
1:54:55
Speaker 17: debit cards.
1:54:55
Speaker 16: So it's not gonna affect this month.
1:54:57
Speaker 17: But if Congress doesn't act soon, then November's SNAP ben
1:55:00
Speaker 17: if fits could be delayed or reduced.
1:55:01
Speaker 2: So if you're on.
1:55:02
Speaker 17: WICK, then you might be you might want to start
1:55:04
Speaker 17: paying attention to the headlines here. If you're on SNAP,
1:55:06
Speaker 17: you've got a few more weeks.
1:55:09
Speaker 2: Well that's fair enough. So ultimately we don't care. In
1:55:12
Speaker 2: the real world, most people are not going to be
1:55:14
Speaker 2: completely impacted by this, probably won't even realize the government
1:55:17
Speaker 2: shut down until it opens back up again. You're a
1:55:19
Speaker 2: little about your life so the way you went about
1:55:21
Speaker 2: them before the government shut down.
1:55:23
Speaker 16: So that is a true statement.
1:55:25
Speaker 17: Again again, I'm not seeing anything here that should cause
1:55:27
Speaker 17: somebody out to run out there and go run their
1:55:30
Speaker 17: lives differently, to make different decisions. These are simply headlines
1:55:33
Speaker 17: as we go through, everybody getting their say in Congress,
1:55:36
Speaker 17: and hopefully we will get through this sooner rather than later.
1:55:39
Speaker 2: Hey, real quick here in a completely different direction, the
1:55:42
Speaker 2: catch up provision of four to one K that changed
1:55:44
Speaker 2: this year, didn't it.
1:55:46
Speaker 17: Yeah, So there was a new rule put in place
1:55:49
Speaker 17: to allow for more people to put in to put
1:55:52
Speaker 17: in more money.
1:55:52
Speaker 16: So there's now the catch up.
1:55:54
Speaker 17: The way it always was was anybody over fifty could
1:55:57
Speaker 17: put a little more into the program. That's currently an
1:56:00
Speaker 17: extra seventy five hundred dollars if you're over fifty, So
1:56:04
Speaker 17: that basically means that you can put in thirty one
1:56:06
Speaker 17: thousand dollars if you're simply over fifty. That's not new,
1:56:09
Speaker 17: that's been there for a while, right, The super catchup
1:56:11
Speaker 17: this is for if you're between ages sixty and sixty three.
1:56:14
Speaker 17: This is a part of Secure Act two point zero
1:56:18
Speaker 17: basically says that you can put in another eleven two
1:56:21
Speaker 17: hundred and fifty dollars on top of it.
1:56:23
Speaker 16: So that's the big change that came through there.
1:56:27
Speaker 2: I've always scratched my head over why there was a
1:56:30
Speaker 2: maximum contribution to four oh one K in the program.
1:56:33
Speaker 2: Is that so they ensure that we continue to spend
1:56:35
Speaker 2: money in the economy as opposed to socket away for
1:56:38
Speaker 2: our future.
1:56:38
Speaker 16: My best guess on that, Brian, is that, well, I mean,
1:56:42
Speaker 16: I'm just not a guess.
1:56:42
Speaker 17: This is why, because if you're somebody who has that
1:56:45
Speaker 17: much cash flow and there was no limit on it,
1:56:46
Speaker 17: then we would be sheltering billions of dollars, if not
1:56:49
Speaker 17: trillions via four oh one K retirement plans. So it's
1:56:53
Speaker 17: there to affect the super wealthy from being able to
1:56:56
Speaker 17: benefit too much from tax planning and starving the government
1:56:59
Speaker 17: of revenue that needs I.
1:57:01
Speaker 2: Think the latter point a little bit more starving the
1:57:03
Speaker 2: government of revenue it thinks it needs. Ah, we are
1:57:07
Speaker 2: financial planner, will tell you to live within your means.
1:57:09
Speaker 2: At least that'd be my guests.
1:57:10
Speaker 16: We don't have those at the Federal guide.
1:57:12
Speaker 2: Brian James. I had to take a cheap shot at
1:57:13
Speaker 2: the federal government's reckless pending. Brian James. All with financial
1:57:16
Speaker 2: appreciate them leading out you every Monday at this time
1:57:19
Speaker 2: to talk money matters. And of course we know there's
1:57:21
Speaker 2: that secret group of women who'd listen intently every Monday,
1:57:25
Speaker 2: hanging on your words.
1:57:27
Speaker 16: We are going to we are going to do it
1:57:28
Speaker 16: and say we got a listener request.
1:57:30
Speaker 17: We're going to put a segment together on credit unions
1:57:32
Speaker 17: we're interested in and some social Security updates.
1:57:34
Speaker 16: So look forward to that in the near future.
1:57:36
Speaker 2: They are anxiously awaiting it. And good morning ladies, even
1:57:39
Speaker 2: though you do remain anonymous, Brian James. Thanks man. We'll
1:57:41
Speaker 2: talk next month of September eighth of this year, and
1:57:44
Speaker 2: because he was appointed, has to run for reelection next year,
1:57:47
Speaker 2: but we'll see if we can't accomplish that, and of
1:57:48
Speaker 2: course we'll be talking to him about his election next
1:57:52
Speaker 2: year in the calendar year. But in the meantime a
1:57:55
Speaker 2: Shenanigan's declaration. Judge McDowell told me at listener lunch he
1:57:58
Speaker 2: was at Jim and Jackson the river not appreciate the
1:58:00
Speaker 2: opportunity to meet him and have him come to lunch,
1:58:03
Speaker 2: but it was my concern over what he told me
1:58:05
Speaker 2: at Listener lunch, and we're boiling it down here in
1:58:07
Speaker 2: the morning show Lingo as a Shenanigans declaration before we
1:58:10
Speaker 2: get to that, Judge McDowell, it's a pleasure of having
1:58:13
Speaker 2: you here. Oh my god, You and I are basically
1:58:17
Speaker 2: about the same age, at least based upon your legal
1:58:20
Speaker 2: resume and what an impressive career you have. I feel
1:58:23
Speaker 2: like a piker. You are what I and the litigat.
1:58:27
Speaker 2: I was a litigation attorney. I guess theoretically I still
1:58:30
Speaker 2: am considering. I have my license, but I don't practice anymore.
1:58:33
Speaker 2: You are what we lawyers call a true trial attorney.
1:58:38
Speaker 15: Yeah, there's a difference, a huge There's a difference. See,
1:58:42
Speaker 15: I've spent a lot of time in courtrooms, both as
1:58:44
Speaker 15: a prosecutor and as a defense attorney. Also in civil
1:58:48
Speaker 15: cases plaintiff side and defense side. There is a big
1:58:52
Speaker 15: difference between someone who pushes paper and somebody who goes
1:58:55
Speaker 15: into a court room.
1:58:56
Speaker 2: I acknowledge where I was on that side of the
1:58:58
Speaker 2: ledger a paper pusher, but you tried literally hundreds of
1:59:02
Speaker 2: cases successfully. So and of course I want to give
1:59:06
Speaker 2: you props for serving your country. I know you had
1:59:08
Speaker 2: enlisted when you were seventeen.
1:59:10
Speaker 15: Yeah, I did. I grew up in poverty in southern
1:59:13
Speaker 15: West Virginia and the.
1:59:14
Speaker 2: Way that's real prop poverty.
1:59:16
Speaker 15: Oh yeah, it's the kind of poverty where you don't
1:59:18
Speaker 15: have food. And the army was my way out. And
1:59:22
Speaker 15: I enlisted in the Army when I was seventeen. And
1:59:25
Speaker 15: I can tell you everything that I am today is
1:59:27
Speaker 15: because of the opportunities that were afforded to me by
1:59:30
Speaker 15: the United States Army. I went to college on the
1:59:32
Speaker 15: GI Bill, I received an ROTC scholarship, I got an
1:59:36
Speaker 15: educational delay to go to law school, and I got
1:59:39
Speaker 15: all that great trial experience in the army.
1:59:41
Speaker 2: And you did a lot of trial work in the
1:59:43
Speaker 2: army judge advocate general, and you were in court all
1:59:46
Speaker 2: the time I was.
1:59:47
Speaker 15: I was a military prosecutor in Korea. I was a
1:59:50
Speaker 15: military prosecutor in Stuttgart, Germany, where I was in charge
1:59:53
Speaker 15: of Southern Germany, Northern Africa, the former East Bloc countries.
1:59:57
Speaker 15: Then I was a defense attorney, and then I was
1:59:59
Speaker 15: a finished out my time as a senior defense attorney
2:00:02
Speaker 15: at Fort Riley, Kansas. Then I came to Cincinnati and
2:00:05
Speaker 15: I became a partner at Densmore and Shoal, and then
2:00:08
Speaker 15: I was a partner at Straustroy.
2:00:11
Speaker 2: They got you to deflect defect.
2:00:13
Speaker 4: Huh.
2:00:14
Speaker 2: Straus and Troy got you to effect from Dinsmore.
2:00:16
Speaker 1: Yeah.
2:00:17
Speaker 2: No, it's impressive that you were a part of both
2:00:19
Speaker 2: of those in a decade at both before being appointed
2:00:21
Speaker 2: by the governor to the Hemilon County Court of Common Please,
2:00:24
Speaker 2: where you do hear criminal cases as well as civil
2:00:27
Speaker 2: But going back to your your time as a judge
2:00:29
Speaker 2: devocate general, this is an illustration of the reality of
2:00:32
Speaker 2: being an America's military. They put twenty somethings behind the
2:00:37
Speaker 2: stick of multi multi million dollar aircraft and equipment. Young
2:00:42
Speaker 2: people are given responsibilities that no response they used the
2:00:46
Speaker 2: word responsible private corporation would give a young person. No
2:00:49
Speaker 2: law firm at age twenty two would allow you to
2:00:53
Speaker 2: go in and try multiple trials. You have to work
2:00:56
Speaker 2: your way up to that role. That's maybe why you
2:00:59
Speaker 2: hit some great success as a consequence of the American military.
2:01:02
Speaker 15: One hundred percent. One of the problems you find in
2:01:05
Speaker 15: litigation today is so few cases go to trial, that
2:01:09
Speaker 15: so few attorneys have that courtroom experience. And in the
2:01:13
Speaker 15: military we were thrown into the crucible right away.
2:01:18
Speaker 2: Well, in a comment you made off air before we started,
2:01:21
Speaker 2: anybody who's practiced law and done courtroom work, you want
2:01:25
Speaker 2: a trial lawyer as opposed to a litigation attorney or
2:01:28
Speaker 2: someone who never was involved with courtroom work. You want
2:01:31
Speaker 2: someone like that on the bench. They've dealt with motions,
2:01:34
Speaker 2: They have been, you know, the attorney advocating on one
2:01:37
Speaker 2: side or another in front of judges. They know the
2:01:39
Speaker 2: civil rules, they know evidentiary rules. If you put someone
2:01:43
Speaker 2: on who maybe was a tax attorney, you never saw
2:01:45
Speaker 2: time in court, and you appoint them to a judge
2:01:47
Speaker 2: or they're elected as judge, they don't have the necessary
2:01:50
Speaker 2: foundational experience.
2:01:52
Speaker 15: That's absolutely correct. And with my resume, I've been both
2:01:55
Speaker 15: a prosecutor and a defense attorney, done both plaintiffs work
2:01:59
Speaker 15: and defense work, so I can see it from all sides,
2:02:02
Speaker 15: and I know when somebody's pulling my leg and when
2:02:05
Speaker 15: it's a real motion.
2:02:06
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm certain of that. And your level of experience,
2:02:09
Speaker 2: there's no way you could have gone that long and
2:02:10
Speaker 2: been so successful without that acquiring that knowledge, so impressive
2:02:14
Speaker 2: background it is and a salute to you for your
2:02:16
Speaker 2: service work to our country, especially on a day as
2:02:19
Speaker 2: we part company here for a moment and come back
2:02:21
Speaker 2: and let him, Judge McDowell do the Shenanigans declaration about
2:02:25
Speaker 2: their Clerk of Courts. It just so happens to be
2:02:28
Speaker 2: World War Two veteran Bob Doolan's anniversary of his death.
2:02:32
Speaker 2: Bob Doolan was installog Lo three that was the site
2:02:34
Speaker 2: of the Great Escape movie with Steve McQueen. I got
2:02:37
Speaker 2: to interview him here in the studio. I got to
2:02:39
Speaker 2: have lunch with him. Thank you Steve Murray, who also
2:02:41
Speaker 2: served his country as a career military man. He was
2:02:45
Speaker 2: such just a wonderful human being and I just wanted
2:02:47
Speaker 2: to honor his passing and his service to our country.
2:02:50
Speaker 2: Bob Doolan passed away this day in twenty twenty two.
2:02:54
Speaker 2: We're all better people for having been able to know
2:02:56
Speaker 2: Bob Doolan's eight thirty five right now more with Judge
2:02:59
Speaker 2: Christopher McDowell Shenanigan's declaration coming up next. Don't go away.
2:03:02
Speaker 6: This is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio station with.
2:03:07
Speaker 2: Judge Christopher McDowell. He is on the Hilton County Court
2:03:10
Speaker 2: of Common please bench. He was just recently appointed, as
2:03:12
Speaker 2: indicated in the last segment September eighth when he took
2:03:15
Speaker 2: the bench. Thanks for on a deployment by Governor Mike DeWine.
2:03:17
Speaker 2: Will be voting for him next November. Hate to know
2:03:22
Speaker 2: that there's an election you have to face it within
2:03:24
Speaker 2: one year being appointed at bench, Sir, I just la oh, well,
2:03:28
Speaker 2: take what you can get. We're glad you're on the bench,
2:03:30
Speaker 2: especially in these trying times. We can talk a little
2:03:32
Speaker 2: bit about the criminal justice system, crime and punishment and
2:03:36
Speaker 2: maybe bond settings in a little bit, but let's first
2:03:38
Speaker 2: talk about what you told me at listener lunch at
2:03:40
Speaker 2: Jim and Jackson. I was obviously very troubled by this,
2:03:43
Speaker 2: so much so that I said, we've got to get
2:03:45
Speaker 2: you here on the morning show to talk about it. So,
2:03:47
Speaker 2: what is going on with the felony murder dock at
2:03:50
Speaker 2: Judge McDowell.
2:03:51
Speaker 15: Yeah, let's start off with the concept that the sixth
2:03:54
Speaker 15: Amendment to the United States Constitution makes our trials public,
2:03:58
Speaker 15: and part of them being public is the people need
2:04:01
Speaker 15: to know when those cases are going to be heard.
2:04:04
Speaker 15: Anybody has the right to come and sit in my
2:04:06
Speaker 15: courtroom and watch what's going on, and that's enshrined in
2:04:09
Speaker 15: our constitution because of things that were going on in
2:04:12
Speaker 15: England with the star chambers where people were being tried
2:04:14
Speaker 15: in secret. Well, what I discovered about a week and
2:04:17
Speaker 15: a half ago is that I had a murder case,
2:04:21
Speaker 15: an aggravated murder case, in my courtroom, and it was
2:04:25
Speaker 15: very interesting, but there was no media there. And I
2:04:29
Speaker 15: saw one of my go ahead you.
2:04:31
Speaker 2: And I'm not going to go into the details. You
2:04:33
Speaker 2: know the details, and whether you need to offer them
2:04:35
Speaker 2: or not is immaterial. But I got the impression baseballent
2:04:39
Speaker 2: you told me it was a particularly heinous felony murder. Oh,
2:04:42
Speaker 2: it was one that would be very newsworthy. If you
2:04:45
Speaker 2: try to be objective about what's reportable and what's not,
2:04:48
Speaker 2: or what's newsworthy what's not. This was clearly a newsworthy murder.
2:04:51
Speaker 15: Right, And I think if you think about all the
2:04:54
Speaker 15: murders that happened in this city, and then think in
2:04:57
Speaker 15: your mind as well, how many times have I heard
2:05:00
Speaker 15: what happened to those murderers? How many times have I
2:05:03
Speaker 15: heard the sentences compared to the number of murders, and
2:05:06
Speaker 15: there's a huge disconnect in my mind much And this
2:05:09
Speaker 15: is one of the reasons why literally half or over
2:05:13
Speaker 15: half of the aggravated murders on my docket have been
2:05:17
Speaker 15: removed from the Clerk of Court's website.
2:05:19
Speaker 2: By what authority is that, under any circumstances appropriate? And
2:05:24
Speaker 2: if so, under what circumstances.
2:05:25
Speaker 15: Yeah, there are reasons why documents and even cases could
2:05:29
Speaker 15: be removed from the public records, but not that I
2:05:34
Speaker 15: can determine in this case. And and each time that
2:05:36
Speaker 15: that occurs, a judge should have to sign off on it.
2:05:39
Speaker 15: So let's say, for example, you have a drug case
2:05:42
Speaker 15: and somebody's been arrested and they're working with the police, Well,
2:05:45
Speaker 15: you want to remove that case from the public records,
2:05:47
Speaker 15: so all these friends don't know he's working with the police.
2:05:51
Speaker 15: And a murderer doesn't work with the police, he's incarcerated.
2:05:55
Speaker 15: And this is a case that had gone on for
2:05:57
Speaker 15: over a year and a half, as are all the
2:05:59
Speaker 15: murder cases that are on my DOCA. They've been going
2:06:01
Speaker 15: on for more than a year, but these cases have
2:06:05
Speaker 15: been removed. So if you know the name of the
2:06:06
Speaker 15: defendant and you were to go to the Clerk of
2:06:08
Speaker 15: Court's website put it in, it would not come up.
2:06:11
Speaker 15: If you happen to know the case number and you
2:06:13
Speaker 15: put it in, it would not come up. And so
2:06:17
Speaker 15: that is one of the reasons why these cases aren't
2:06:19
Speaker 15: being covered. They've been removed from the public record. The
2:06:22
Speaker 15: media and the people don't know when these sentencings are occurring.
2:06:26
Speaker 2: Do we have any judges signing off on the removal
2:06:30
Speaker 2: or is this just a blanket removal.
2:06:32
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's very interesting. So when I started to do
2:06:34
Speaker 15: my investigation into this, one of the older bailiffs in
2:06:37
Speaker 15: the courthouse pulled a record for where Tracy Winkler, the
2:06:41
Speaker 15: last Republican, was a Clerk of courts, and on that document,
2:06:44
Speaker 15: a judge had to sign off if a document or
2:06:47
Speaker 15: a case was going to be removed from the public
2:06:50
Speaker 15: docket or the public records.
2:06:52
Speaker 4: There.
2:06:53
Speaker 15: We've looked at the cases that have been removed from
2:06:55
Speaker 15: the Clerk of Court's website and we can find no
2:06:59
Speaker 15: judge on off so far on any of these cases.
2:07:02
Speaker 2: Which leads one to guests that someone is behind the
2:07:05
Speaker 2: scenes in the Clerker Court's office is unilaterally determined this
2:07:09
Speaker 2: should not be on the public's docket or the docket
2:07:11
Speaker 2: I mean somebody there's a looming phase it the clerker
2:07:15
Speaker 2: courts himself.
2:07:17
Speaker 15: Well, the Clerk of Courts is responsible for that. Yeah,
2:07:20
Speaker 15: and the buck stops there. In other words, right, And
2:07:23
Speaker 15: also judges need to be looking at this. The thing
2:07:25
Speaker 15: of it is when I look at my docket, when
2:07:28
Speaker 15: I look at I can see all these records, so
2:07:31
Speaker 15: I wouldn't know that it has been removed from the
2:07:34
Speaker 15: public record.
2:07:36
Speaker 2: Because you have to try a case. Obviously you're going
2:07:38
Speaker 2: to be given the information related to it, but you
2:07:40
Speaker 2: have to look at the regular docket to see if
2:07:42
Speaker 2: that case that's right literally on your desk is there.
2:07:44
Speaker 2: And as you determined in that fellow murder case, the
2:07:46
Speaker 2: heinous one, you went over and looked, it's not there.
2:07:49
Speaker 2: You're like, wait, where is.
2:07:50
Speaker 15: This on the docket, right, which then calls me to
2:07:53
Speaker 15: tell me. Ask my bailiff look at all the murder
2:07:55
Speaker 15: cases on my docket and see how many of them
2:07:57
Speaker 15: have been removed from the Clerk Courts website. And it
2:08:01
Speaker 15: was over half. And then I went to some other
2:08:03
Speaker 15: judges and discovered similar things on their dockets as well.
2:08:07
Speaker 15: It's very curious.
2:08:09
Speaker 2: Very curious. But in considering the case where there is
2:08:12
Speaker 2: a legitimate basis, you have a drug dealer who's working
2:08:15
Speaker 2: with authorities, they've got suppliers. Clearly you want to get those.
2:08:19
Speaker 2: That person's life could very well be in jeopardy if
2:08:21
Speaker 2: it's known that they're in front of you and their
2:08:23
Speaker 2: case is going to be tried, their names out there
2:08:25
Speaker 2: and you know they're working with police. So there's in
2:08:28
Speaker 2: a murder case. Sadly, the victim, which is the one
2:08:31
Speaker 2: that would need to be protected, is no longer in
2:08:34
Speaker 2: need of protection. They're not going to be threatened, that's right.
2:08:38
Speaker 15: So yeah, I asked my clerk at the same time
2:08:40
Speaker 15: because I had the same thought. I said, look at
2:08:42
Speaker 15: the rape cases that we have next week and see
2:08:45
Speaker 15: if those rape cases have been removed from the public docket.
2:08:48
Speaker 15: And they had not.
2:08:50
Speaker 2: And so they've got a victim there.
2:08:52
Speaker 15: There, you have a real victim, and that real victim
2:08:56
Speaker 15: is those cases have not been removed from the public record.
2:08:59
Speaker 15: But just these aggravated murders, so far as I can
2:09:02
Speaker 15: I know so far aggravated murder cases. Now, when I
2:09:05
Speaker 15: talk to other bailiffs in the courthouse, they tell me
2:09:08
Speaker 15: they've seen this in some of the renew cases in
2:09:10
Speaker 15: the past, which is the drug cases, which is a
2:09:14
Speaker 15: good reason I potentially remove it there. Another reason might
2:09:18
Speaker 15: be that the police early on in a case they
2:09:22
Speaker 15: have an arrest warrant for somebody and they don't want
2:09:24
Speaker 15: it to be out in the public that they're out
2:09:26
Speaker 15: looking for somebody. But as soon as they picked that
2:09:28
Speaker 15: person up, the case should be put back on to
2:09:32
Speaker 15: the public docket.
2:09:33
Speaker 2: Well, and to be in front of you in a
2:09:36
Speaker 2: case that means it suggests obviously they have been picked up,
2:09:39
Speaker 2: they have been issued a citation, they've probably been through
2:09:41
Speaker 2: a bond hearing already. This is way way beyond the
2:09:44
Speaker 2: time when this information should be maybe legitimately held from
2:09:47
Speaker 2: the public.
2:09:48
Speaker 15: Yeah, the case in question was over a year and
2:09:50
Speaker 15: a half old.
2:09:53
Speaker 2: Judgment mcde am, I right in understanding that the current
2:09:57
Speaker 2: clerker Courts has been down this road before.
2:10:00
Speaker 15: Yeah, hundred percent. What he was doing before was removing
2:10:03
Speaker 15: the eviction docket cases. So if you'd been evicted from court,
2:10:08
Speaker 15: he was just removing those and so the municipal court
2:10:11
Speaker 15: judges had to sue him to get those records put
2:10:14
Speaker 15: back on to the public docket. The clerk of Courts
2:10:18
Speaker 15: does not have the power to unilaterally remove documents from
2:10:22
Speaker 15: the public records.
2:10:23
Speaker 2: Well, the pause will bring Judge McDowell back for one
2:10:26
Speaker 2: more Shenanigan's declaration.
2:10:27
Speaker 1: Be the talk station.
2:10:31
Speaker 2: And say forty eight or fifty five KRCD talk station
2:10:33
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas with Judge Christopher McDowell appointed by governor to
2:10:36
Speaker 2: wine and thank God for Governor to wine for at
2:10:38
Speaker 2: least something. We've got this great judge on the bench,
2:10:40
Speaker 2: unbelievably experienced and calling him as he sees them, clerker
2:10:43
Speaker 2: Courts is apparently hiding a lot of the Fellawy murders
2:10:46
Speaker 2: from you and me knowing about them. I believe you
2:10:50
Speaker 2: summed it up this way. You know, if you got
2:10:51
Speaker 2: a problem with crime, then maybe one of the ways
2:10:54
Speaker 2: you try to deal with it, it's just covered up
2:10:56
Speaker 2: and prevent like it doesn't exist. And that's the problem
2:10:58
Speaker 2: that a lot of people are saying the city of
2:11:00
Speaker 2: Cincinnati has. They want to tell you that everything's safe,
2:11:02
Speaker 2: everything's fine, and yet we keep hearing about the murders,
2:11:06
Speaker 2: the gunshots, the violence.
2:11:08
Speaker 1: No follow up.
2:11:09
Speaker 2: As you pointed out, no one tells you what happened
2:11:11
Speaker 2: to the purpse after they're arrested. But one of the reasons,
2:11:15
Speaker 2: then what do you do to try to change the narrative?
2:11:17
Speaker 2: You don't put them on the felony murder dockets, so
2:11:19
Speaker 2: local news doesn't know that they're actually in front of
2:11:21
Speaker 2: a judge being tried and maybe convicted. So what is
2:11:25
Speaker 2: the next step on this? I thought of maybe one
2:11:28
Speaker 2: of these lawyers out there, maybe the Chris Finny's of
2:11:32
Speaker 2: the world, or someone would file suit on this. This
2:11:34
Speaker 2: is what they do all the time. Is there any
2:11:36
Speaker 2: legal challenges at play here going after the Clerk of
2:11:38
Speaker 2: Courts for hiding these records or what are you planning
2:11:40
Speaker 2: on doing next? By way of steps, judge.
2:11:42
Speaker 15: Yeah, Well, what I'm going to do is, I'm going
2:11:45
Speaker 15: when these cases are coming before me, now the law
2:11:48
Speaker 15: come before me within the next month for a report
2:11:51
Speaker 15: or for some other matter, I'm going to require I'm
2:11:53
Speaker 15: going to give an issue in order to the prosecutor
2:11:56
Speaker 15: to tell me why this case is not on the
2:12:00
Speaker 15: public docket, why it is not on the Clerk of
2:12:02
Speaker 15: Court's website, because I don't know why there have been removed.
2:12:06
Speaker 15: So I don't want to just unilaterally remove it and
2:12:09
Speaker 15: then there could be somebody in danger, for example. But
2:12:13
Speaker 15: I want to give them an opportunity, and then if
2:12:15
Speaker 15: they don't provide me with a good explanation for why
2:12:17
Speaker 15: the sixth Amendment seems to be curtailed in this case,
2:12:21
Speaker 15: then I want to order and put back on the
2:12:23
Speaker 15: public docket back on the clerker Court's website where they belong,
2:12:27
Speaker 15: so everybody knows and can come to court and see
2:12:31
Speaker 15: how that case ends.
2:12:32
Speaker 2: And because we have a sixth Amendment, and because the
2:12:34
Speaker 2: clerk has been down this road before and ordered to
2:12:37
Speaker 2: put these records back on, you're on firm legal ground
2:12:40
Speaker 2: in directing that, you would think so, yes, sir, well,
2:12:43
Speaker 2: I suppose it would end up in court. Kurt Hartman's
2:12:45
Speaker 2: name came up too.
2:12:46
Speaker 15: Yeah, I've known Kurt for a long time. Kurt's a
2:12:49
Speaker 15: great lawyer, so is Chris Finny. There are a number
2:12:52
Speaker 15: of great lawyers in the city who I'm sure would
2:12:54
Speaker 15: love to take up this case. And also you would
2:12:57
Speaker 15: think the inquiry Fox News Channel twelve they also would
2:13:01
Speaker 15: want to take up this case because they're the ones
2:13:03
Speaker 15: who don't know when the cases are going to be
2:13:05
Speaker 15: in court.
2:13:06
Speaker 2: Prior to today, Judge McDowell, they probably didn't know that
2:13:09
Speaker 2: these were being removed. You just discovered it by virtue
2:13:11
Speaker 2: of you being on a bench.
2:13:13
Speaker 15: Yeah, for a month, and for a month. I found
2:13:16
Speaker 15: it out right away, and you would think other people
2:13:19
Speaker 15: would realize it too. But we'll see. I'll take it
2:13:21
Speaker 15: to take I take them matter very seriously because I
2:13:24
Speaker 15: think that for our judicial system to work best, the
2:13:29
Speaker 15: people need to have full access to know. There needs
2:13:31
Speaker 15: to be full transparency, and also people need to know
2:13:34
Speaker 15: if aggravated murders are going to prison for life. That
2:13:37
Speaker 15: should act as a deterrent.
2:13:39
Speaker 2: Thanks for other people, Well, and you just hit the
2:13:41
Speaker 2: nail on the head of the direction I was going.
2:13:43
Speaker 2: We're all worried out here, my listening audience.
2:13:44
Speaker 1: Anyway.
2:13:45
Speaker 2: You know, the prosecutors seemed to want to do their
2:13:48
Speaker 2: job on the heels of the police, who seem to
2:13:50
Speaker 2: want to do their job. Bad guy commits crime, police
2:13:52
Speaker 2: issue citation, payed over the prosecutor's office. They needed a
2:13:55
Speaker 2: grand jury indictment or not as the case maybe, but
2:13:57
Speaker 2: they're happy to go to the court. The court seems
2:13:59
Speaker 2: to be the weak link in the chain. The criminal
2:14:02
Speaker 2: justice system works because it acts as a deterrent. One
2:14:05
Speaker 2: of other reasons we have one punish the bad guy,
2:14:08
Speaker 2: gives some satisfaction to the victim, the victim's families, but
2:14:10
Speaker 2: more fundamentally, you offer an out loud message to those
2:14:14
Speaker 2: who might commit crime. If you do, you're going to
2:14:17
Speaker 2: be dealt with harshly. Well, modern judicial theory is no, well,
2:14:21
Speaker 2: it's not their fault. They went out and shot somebody
2:14:24
Speaker 2: in the head. They had a tough life while and
2:14:27
Speaker 2: they let them out either on low bond no bond,
2:14:29
Speaker 2: which sends a very out loud message, much like an
2:14:31
Speaker 2: open border sends a message that everybody can come into
2:14:34
Speaker 2: the country, everybody can commit crime, there's not going to
2:14:36
Speaker 2: be any consequences, most notably for the juveniles out there.
2:14:40
Speaker 15: And you also see the repeat offenders. You see the
2:14:42
Speaker 15: people who are out on bond or out on probation
2:14:46
Speaker 15: who then commit the same offense or similar offense, another
2:14:50
Speaker 15: violent offense, who are then still out on the street,
2:14:54
Speaker 15: hurting the people of Cincinnati Hamilton County. And we just
2:14:58
Speaker 15: cannot continue to live that way. Everybody should feel like
2:15:02
Speaker 15: they can go anywhere in the city that they want,
2:15:05
Speaker 15: and you can't. There are areas of the city that
2:15:07
Speaker 15: you can't go because you fear for your life, and
2:15:10
Speaker 15: a lot of the people that you fear are people
2:15:13
Speaker 15: who are out on bond, out on probation, and it
2:15:17
Speaker 15: should not be that way.
2:15:18
Speaker 2: And they've demonstrated willingness to break the law, and they
2:15:20
Speaker 2: gleefully do so again knowing that apparently there's not going
2:15:23
Speaker 2: to be any consequence as well, if they're in front
2:15:25
Speaker 2: of you, Judge McDowell, then I imagine there might be consequences.
2:15:29
Speaker 2: Appreciate your service to our country and military service work
2:15:33
Speaker 2: of the JAG. Of course, you're a storied legal career,
2:15:35
Speaker 2: all the cases you've tried, and I'm glad you're on
2:15:37
Speaker 2: the bench. You have a responsible, intelligent official on the bench,
2:15:41
Speaker 2: one who is obviously willing to look into Shenanigan's going
2:15:44
Speaker 2: on in the clerk a Court's office. Judge McDowell, you
2:15:48
Speaker 2: know you've got an open form here to give us
2:15:49
Speaker 2: a follow up and where things are if you find
2:15:51
Speaker 2: out the reason why the specific person responsible for this
2:15:54
Speaker 2: was that somebody within the Purvole administration directing the clerk
2:15:58
Speaker 2: on what to do and not to do. Don't know,
2:15:59
Speaker 2: but I'm looking forward to finding out. He seems like
2:16:01
Speaker 2: you're the man to do it.
2:16:02
Speaker 15: I'll get to the bottom of it.
2:16:04
Speaker 2: I have a confidence that you will. Judgerick doubt's a
2:16:06
Speaker 2: real pleasure. We'll be looking forward to supporting your campaign
2:16:09
Speaker 2: for election in November of next year. Keep up the
2:16:12
Speaker 2: great work on the bench. In the meantime, best of
2:16:14
Speaker 2: health and loved you and your family. Oh I got
2:16:16
Speaker 2: to ask. I know you've only been there for about
2:16:19
Speaker 2: a month, and I know judges get threats regularly. Have
2:16:24
Speaker 2: you experienced any of that if you even want to
2:16:26
Speaker 2: say out loud, because I just worry about that.
2:16:28
Speaker 15: Kind of stuff. Well, the first thing is I exercised
2:16:30
Speaker 15: my second amendment, right I figured you did. The second
2:16:33
Speaker 15: thing is the Hamilton County Chef has been out to
2:16:36
Speaker 15: my home and they've conducted a full analysis of my
2:16:40
Speaker 15: home good in my area. They provided me a report
2:16:44
Speaker 15: as to the weaknesses and the strengths of what I'm doing.
2:16:47
Speaker 15: And this weekend I was busy installing a home alarm
2:16:51
Speaker 15: and security system. And you know it's my wife is
2:16:55
Speaker 15: the one who often bears the burden of it. Of course,
2:16:58
Speaker 15: you know she could be home alone. And my wife
2:17:01
Speaker 15: is a West Point graduate. I met her in the military.
2:17:04
Speaker 15: She also exercises her.
2:17:06
Speaker 13: She does.
2:17:10
Speaker 2: Don't mess with missus McDowell. Judge McDowell, great, heaving you on.
2:17:14
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to put you on a spot like that,
2:17:16
Speaker 2: but ahead of note, because we live in a very
2:17:18
Speaker 2: very very dangerous world generally speaking, and social media and
2:17:21
Speaker 2: docsing really makes it that much worse psychologically at minimum,
