  Speaker 2: followed that restaurant from where it used to be to
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: the Blue Ash location there for ten years and they
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: just closed the doors. I guess the owner is retiring
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: or something. But saw that in local stories when we
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: dive onto that in the bottom of the hour, Dive

  Speaker 2: Have fun trying to get through all of that. There's
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: a whole lot there coming up. It's Monday, fifty five
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Cassey Morning Show on Mondays means Christopher Smith a minute's
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: seven twenty with the smither Vent former vice mayor of
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: the City of Cincinnati. Betty has a holiday wish to
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: pass along. Just guessing along those lines. Brian James, it
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: is Monday. We do money, Money with Brian James every
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Monday at eight oh five. Today, the same inflation two
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: point seven percent? Is it's good news? Correct?
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: Not?
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Maybe?
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Maybe not? Got a word or two about California and
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: some other Blue states on that one. Social Security facing cuts?
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Who will save it? I presume that it refers to
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Social Security. No one has the will to save social
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: security third rail of politics, which means you don't do
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: anything to try to save it, you just to let
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: it collapse. That's the only conclusion I can reach on
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: that one. It's a pressing issue everybody out there that
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: relies on Social Security. I mean this is this is
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: fundamentally important to people, even eating down the road. In
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: addition to that topic, one third of Americans believe social
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: security won't exist when they retire. Why because no one's
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: working to save it. Brian James may have a different
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: conclusion along those lines. That's what we talked to him.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: And then finally with Brian James, the SEC gives the
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: okay to tokenize stocks de scritted as a move toward blockchain.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: And then the return of Patty Scott Heart the Number

• 3:20
  Speaker 2: final show of the year, the Christmas episode, and I
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: look forward to that for no other reason that rob
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: ryders in studio with his guitar. We try to have
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: some fun. I welcome all kinds of calls on the
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Christmas Show and encourage you to consider calling in on that,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: but also concerns you urging you to consider calling in
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: this morning. Okay, first question, why is this trip really necessary?
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: And maybe it is a big distraction. Distraction. I've been
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: kind of thinking in the back of my mind for
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: a long time, this whole Epstein file disclosure is kind
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: of a distraction, and maybe, oh, stop you from thinking
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: about us going after oil tankers off of Venezuela. We're
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: pursuing a third one. We may have captured it by now,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but they start pursuing tanker number three
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: because they want to win four sanctions. And that's going
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: on in the world. I love this. Just a couple
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: of headlines going on in the background. Pentagon fails an
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: audit for the eighth consecutive year. Pentagon has now been
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: able to complete an audit. They were initially mandated to
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: do independent audits across the Department of Defense back in
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: twenty eighteen. The department since that time has failed to
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: pass a single full audit. Where in the hell is
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the money going? Apparently, the Department of Defense now known
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: as the Department of War lists four point sixty five
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: trillion in assets, overshadowed by its listing of four point
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: seventy two trillion dollars in liabilities through fiscal year twenty
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: twenty five. Now I'm puzzled by that one, and it's
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: beyond my comprehension what the liabilities are in the Department
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: of Defense. I mean, they funded annually substantial amounts but
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: can't pass an audit. Maybe that's where the problem lies.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: They identified twenty six material weaknesses to significant deficiencies and
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: the financial report practices this year. They rendered adverse opinions
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: in ten of twenty eight subaudits contained within the overall
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Pentagon audit for the year listed further disclaimers of the opinion,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: meaning the auditors could not be certain one way or
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: another whether the balance sheets of certain funds of programs
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: are actually are accurately reported. Reports of the disclaimers of
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: opinion cover programs and funds that comprise a combined forty
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: three percent of the US military's total assets and at
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: least sixty four percent of the military's total budgetary resources
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: red flag. Maybe not to be overshadowed by Joni Ernst.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I hate to laugh about this, you know. Look, hey,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: it's Minnesota. Look at the frog going on in Minnesota.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Look what Minnesota did in terms of the allowing the
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Somali community to exploit these federal programs. Look over there,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Look over there. Jony Earnst demand in the United States
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Postal Service account for its building usage. She sent a
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: letter on Friday. Of course, in the background of that one,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: the United States Postal Service lost more than eighteen billion
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: dollars over the last two fiscal years. Ernst, in her letter,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: demanded the Postmaster General David Steiner, answered questions about the
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: facilities owned and leased by the United States Postal System
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: give the info to me by January ninth, twenty six,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: saying IG found that the USPS had no zero reliable
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: data on how it uses its buildings, no comprehensive strategy
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: to reduce waste, and no recorded space assessments for over
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: twenty one thousand, five hundred of its buildings. Said, if
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: you're wondering how the US Postal Service loses billions every year,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: look no further than the fact that they self admittedly
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: have no clue if they're using the buildings they pay for.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Moving away from just the USPS, she said, well, you know,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: unfortunately this isn't rare in Washington, with your tax dollars
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: paying for seven seven hundred completely vacant buildings. And of course,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: she claims she's going to be leading the charge to
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: evaluate the federal government's real estate portfolio and get rid
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: of unneeded and obviously costly office space. The Postal Service
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: owns or leases more than thirty four thousand buildings in
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the country, of which more than ninety five percent have
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: either been not reviewed at all since twenty twenty. You know,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: we're kind of on a theme here, no accountability for
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: the money that goes out the door. Here's the check USPS,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: here's the check Pentagon. Now they're supposed to be inspector
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: general following up on this, this is what leads to
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: these reports. Well, the follow up at least in terms
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: of the Pentagon is the audit that was done. Fail
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: FAILFAILFALF fail failfail. You do FAY eight failures in a row?
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: So what what is there a penalty associated with this?
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: You failed? Okay, sorry, I'm sorry. What does that mean,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: are you gonna get your act together? Is there's gonna
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: be some accountability on this to the American taxpayer. We
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: just gave them a trillion dollars almost in the most
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: recent defense budget. Like to think that the the impetus
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: behind handing them that kind of money would be that
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: they have completed an audit and we know the money
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: is not being misspent. Can't say that. One other independent,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: separate program, the United State's postless Service, supposed to be
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: running in a profit, or at least not at a
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: total loss. How do you continue as an entity when
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: you lose billions and billion two years they lost eighteen
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: billion dollars. Anybody wonder where that went? Well, Jody Urnest
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: may be onto something. You got too many day inn buildings.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you own thirty four thousand and you
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: can't account for a space in twenty one thousand, that
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I would say is a major blanket problem. Whatever the
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Epstein thing, the law that was passed ordered all all
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: now subject to reactions, reactions that might identify victims that
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: well already haven't already outed themselves. They were all supposed
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: to be produced. They weren't, why you know, and ran
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Paul made a good point about this. Listen, you know
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: it's a huge mistake. He was on a Sunday show yesterday,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: ABC's Sunday Show. And of course Massey, along with one
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: of the Democrat is moving to hold Attorney General Pambondi
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: and inherent contempt the Congress because of the release of
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: partial files. Massey has already told everybody he is I
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: got a list of a whole bunch of names that
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I know are in and among the documents that are
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: in there. How come those names weren't president? We're born president?
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Because if somebody from JP Morgan was one of them
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: and his name is not among the documents that were
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: where are those documents? Why do we continue to have
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: questions swirling around this? This implicates the Trump administration. Democrats
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: are all coming out of the woodwork to accuse the
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Trump administration of using the Department of Justice to undermine
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: the law and protect him. Well, if there's nothing there
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: to protect him from, and the Trump administration keeps saying
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: there's nothing there there, well we won't know that until
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: all of the documents are produced. Please, why do you
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: create this controversy stating the obvious policy yesday. I think
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: that trust in government is at a low EBB, and
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: that people need to trust that justice is the same
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: whether you're rich or poor, and the people tend to
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: believe that some rich people got off scot free in
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: this In the Epstein case, yeah, well, most notably moving
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: back even earlier, the FBI reportedly ignored early warning signs,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: but of Epstein's possession a child porn for nearly a decade,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: what is the Justice Department charged with new release Records
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: from the Justice Department show the FBI was warned in
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: nineteen ninety six by Maria Farmer and artists who work
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: with Epstein filed a complaint in September third of nineteen
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: ninety six alleging Epstein stole explicit photos of her underage sisters,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: sought images of young girls, and threatened to burn her
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: house down as she spoke out. That complaint surface publicly
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: for the first time last week. Why because of the
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: court ordered release of the Epstein files transparent under the
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Epstein Files Transparency Act, which Massey and of course Senator
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Ran Paul are both saying, red flag, red flag, he
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: didn't produce all the damned documents. Rand Paul relying our
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: pointing primarily to the political downside of all this one
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: more thing to give to the Democrats as we move
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: forward rapidly so to the no member election, saying this
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: is going to be swirling around for months, and I
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: don't know where he came up with a month's thing.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Is it not possible for the Justice Department to get
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: its act and produce all the documents? Oh, let's say
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: in a matter of days, or she wouldn't have been
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: better by the deadline of last Friday. You saw it coming,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: you knew it was coming. Oh, we're busy back in
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: the background redacting. It takes time, and we'll just produce
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: the documents when we can produce them, says the Justice Department. No,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: the law says Friday, which you know that results in
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: someone try to take action and hold the Justice Department accountable.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Enter Senator Rand Paul or Congressman Thomas Massey, among others.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: But this child born warning, why didn't they look into it? Why?
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Maria Farmer the one that turned into a complaint back
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety six, and this is a New York
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Times reporting, since she felt vindicated since she was long
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: accused of fabricating her claim. She's maintained for years that
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: the federal authorities failed to act despite her warnings. The
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: FBI document, which was initially had initially redacted her name
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: can afirms the allegation but is not mentioned Gislaine Maxwell
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: or Epstein associates. But I don't think matters, she said,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: she received no meaningful response from the Bureau from nearly
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: a decade before Epstein ultimately faced federal scrutiny that led
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: to his plea deal in twenty or in two thousand
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: and eight, admittedly and confirming that he was indeed a
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: child pervert, giving rise to even further allegations of well
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: favorable treatment for a well connected pedophile out in the world.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Now we needn't investigate that it's just little children anyway.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Why would we care about the molestation of little children?
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: God almighty five nineteen fifty five krc DE talk station,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: A whole lot more to talk about it? Who you
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: can give me a call or alternatively, I'll go where
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I want to go when we get back from the break.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Thanks please skep inful time cars the talk station. It
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: is five twenty two here fifty five CARCA talk station.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Fived e two three pound fay five to fifty on
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: AT and T Funds. I needed an interesting reaction and observation.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I saw this op ed piece criticizing the Trump administration
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: for cracking down and putting up restrictions from people from
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: a whole variety of countries out in the United States.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: This after the attack on two National Guard members. Afghan
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: immigrant Raminola Lockhaan Nawi now facing murder and charged an
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: attack that killed National Guard member Sarah Baxter. You may
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: recall that one happening. You also know that most recently
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: we had the attack shooting at Brown University two students dead,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: followed by the shooting at MIT some it was it
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Portuguese immigrant Claudia Nuevea is Valente in that one found
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: dead in the storage locker killed himself. Trump's this and
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: this author Scott Bolden, opinion contributor, it's Politico, so it's
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: going to be left leaning. And this one, of course,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: is Trump's collective punishment of millions of people for the
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: alleged actions of two immigrants makes no sense. You're talking
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: about this collective punishment that everybody suffers because of the
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: actions just these two people, and how unbelievably, horrifically bad
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: it is. The overwhelming majority of immigrants coming into the
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: United States are grateful for the opportunity to want to
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: work hard, play r for the rules, and achieve the
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: American dream. About fifty two million immigrants live in the
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: United States, fourteen million unauthorized together, making up nineteen percent
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: of the nation's workforce. And he waxes poetic about all
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: the benefits they're bringing to the United States of America. Okay, fine,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: I immediately thought of the Second Amendment. Well, this left
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: winger says, this is a terrible policy. It's harming all
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: of these people who had nothing to do with the shootings.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: One may argue Donald Trump is trying to protect the
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: American population because, as we've seen with the unchecked, unmitigated
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: flow of immigrants into our country illegally, a lot of
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: them are from prisons in Venezuela and other places where
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: they're just emptying out the worst of the worst, sending
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: them here and of course allowing them to go out
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: their merry way committing crimes here in the United States.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: It's been presented a real problem. Do all illegal immigrants
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: or migrants generally speaking, commit crimes. Absolutely not. Going back
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: to the Second Amendment, do all firearms owners commit crimes
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: to have their firearms taken away when some Gloaco crazy
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: nut job goes all shooty on everybody. But no, the
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Democrats will scream out loud, we need to take guns away.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Look at having in Australia the most draconian gun ownership
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: laws on the planet. Almost they make them even harder. Now,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: why because somebody went all shooty obviously in an anti
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Semitic murder spree, we got to go after the gun.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: So let's see this guy apply the same logic and
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: reason to the left demand that all firearms we shouldn't
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: be allowed to have them. The vast majority how many
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: firearms in the United States, where they kind of like
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: six hundred million or something along those lines, there's enough
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: for every man, woman and child to own like three
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: or four of them. And yet, in spite of the
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: gun violence that we see in our country, we know
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: the vast majority of people who extra exercise their Second
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Amendment rights are not criminals. They do not commit crimes.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: And you have the Left at every single instance of
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: a gun, every single instance where a gun has been
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: used in the Commission of Violence. They scream and yell
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: that our rights need to be infringed upon. Okay, Scott Bolden,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: op Ed contributor to Politico reconcile that for me. Will
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: you please six five twenty six if fIF you have
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: kre se de talk station, got some local stories coming
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: up or phone calls either way, if you're right back.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: This is fifty five KRC and iHeart.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Five on a Monday, Christmas Monday, looking forward to the
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Christmas holidays, and I sure hope you are as well.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Try to get in the holiday spirit. Let's see what
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Tom's got to say this morning. Tom, welcome to the show,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: and a very happy Monday to you, and advance Merry Christmas.
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah you as well, just like you. Tomorrow will be
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: my last working day before the end of the year,
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: so really looking forward to a nice vacation.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: I'm out here, back out here in northwest of Indianapolis,
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: and as usual when I'm out here, I'm using the
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: iHeartMedia app to listen to fifty five KRC.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Appreciate it and of.
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: Course I get when I'm driving home, driving back to
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: the hotel whatever, I get to catch up on stuff
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: I missed with the listening to some of the episodes
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: on the app, and and I'll even go back and
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: listen to the first hour to see how stupid I sound.
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: And I know last.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Week don't do that. I never ever ever go back
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: and listen, because I probably would quit my job if
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: I listened to what I say on the radio during
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: the day, because I was embarrassed about how I characterized
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: something or how stupid I sounded on any given topics.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: So that's why I steer clear of that. So what's
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: the point for today, Tom?
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: I noticed, well, I noticed last week you said something
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: at the after my phone call about you didn't hear
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: a gas price update updates. So without further ado, Saturday,
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: I'm back home in Cincinnati and I live in Cora,
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: as you know. And the Kroger at North Gate was
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: two dollars and nineteen cents. Yeah, and of course we
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: had some leftover fuel points, so we got it for
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: a buck seventy nine. It's been a while since we
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: got that, but that was that was kind of nice.
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: Nice to see the gas prices coming down, uh, and
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: then they'll go back up and then they'll come down,
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: so the highs are a little bit lower and the
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: lows are a little bit lower, and that's a good thing.
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: And this whole affordability issue, it's it's a real thing
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: because it affects everybody. And unfortunately we got to get
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: some of these other prices of stuff. You walk in
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: the grocery store and and it's not quite the same
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: feeling you still some of these prices are up, diesels
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: up that that has a big effect on it. So
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: it's understandable that the Democrats are using affordability to beat
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: the Republicans over the heads pactly Trump, I get it,
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: good political tactic, but we have to remind people that
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: things are improving. They're way better than they were just
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: you know, two years ago, maybe not even that they're
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: way better and they're getting better, and all the signs
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: are pointing for things to get better. And you got
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: some nice tax cuts that will come into effect when
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: you do your taxes early next year, and you'll see
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: start seeing some of that. There's a reason for that,
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: and that's because there are people who are doing things
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: to actually help the American people and help the economy,
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: and we need to keep that going and we can't
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: go backwards. So we got to remind people of this stuff,
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: and we got a course remind them, don't vote Democrat.
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: Have a good day, Brion.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Thanks Tom, you do the same. Yeah, maybe we'll get
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: to it a little bit later. There's a list of
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Finley article on the Wall Street Journal. You can see
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: it this morning. Why the affordability crisis is most severe
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: in California. Going back to his claim that the Democrats
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: blaming Donald Trump for inflation. When you see the prices
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: in California, what's that caused by? Yes, the unbelievably horrific
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: overregulation in the state. And it's across the board. It's
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: not just energy, it's housing and a variety of better factors,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: all self inflicted injuries. Yeah, go ahead and blame Donald
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Trump for inflation. Now, getting inflation down is a slow process.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: You're going to have to wait for it. You can't
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: magically flip a switch and make it not happen. Over
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: the local local stories, Governor of winsign Senate Bill fifty
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: six into law, but vetoed a provision that would allow
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: have let certain bars and breweries sell thh infuse drinks
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: in Ohio. They're now ver boat and or at least
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: they will be. The bill changed to Ohio marijuana hemp
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: laws passed the Senate twenty two to seven back on
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: the ninth of this month. Block provisions would have allowed
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: bars and breweries to sell drinks with small amounts of
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: THHC until the end of next year. I guess that's
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: because Congress and President Trump enacted a federal ban on
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: intoxicating help which begins November of next year, so Dwine said.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: In exercising his line aight in veto provision, he said,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Ohio is making good on public policy by enacting its
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: own ban earlier than federal law. However, allowing the sale
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: of intoxicating hemp averages for most of twenty six would
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: create confusion for consumers. When I first read that, I'm like,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: are you that dumb if someone tells you the federal
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: law is going to ban the sale of this stuff
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: beginning in November twenty twenty six, smoke them while you
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: got them. In this particular case, drink them while you
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: can buy them. I think we can manage the in
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: them disappearing from the shelves on next November, as opposed
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: to immediately or when this one kicks into effect, which
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: I think is after the first of the year anyway.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: New law creates restrictions on marijuana products, including reducing THHC
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: levels a lot of products, limiting its use in public spaces,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: banning its consumption or growth in childcare facilities. No problem
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: with that ban. Restrictions apply to all intoxicated marijuana products,
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: including edibles and beverages, and limit the sale of THHC
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: products to dispensaries. So if you're buying your THHC beverage
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: at your local liquor store, apparently no longer. I don't
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: When does VV get sworn in? Joe ask? Not soon enough.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Law also requires products with more than it's just a
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: small amount of THHC to be sold only at licensed
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: marijuana dispensaries, So those little THHC gummies that you find
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: at your local convenience store, those apparently will be gone too.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: But for those people who have been convicted of offenses
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: that are now legal, it also expunges your records. So
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: that's a step I believe in the right direction for
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: those who were incarcerated for something that most people widely
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: seem to embrace these days. And I mentioned it before,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: but real quick and have a local story. I'm sad
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: to see Summit Park. The Brown Dog Cafe, Yes has closed.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: They announced the sudden the Sudden retirement Facebook post on
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: the nineteenth. Ownership has decided to retire at the end
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: of our tenth year. We sincerely thank all of our
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: customers and the further patronage and friendship throughout the years.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Boycemail also thanked customers for their patronage. Opened in nineteen
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: ninety eight on five for Road, and my wife and
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: I've been going there since after it opened in nineteen
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: ninety eight. Then it moved over to Summit Park in
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. Sadly it's now I guess closed. I don't
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: know where doctor j is going to be playing his guitar.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there's another venue out there for him. That
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: was his venue, though, wasn't it. Oh well, sad to
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: see it go. Five thirty six fifty five kr CD
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: talk station. Let's dive into a stack as stupid coming
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: up after these words. This is fifty five karc an
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: iHeartRadio station station. It is five A forty here fifty
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: five KARSD talk station. Monday. As we head on into Christmas,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: I'm really excited about enjoying some time with family and Christmas,
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: and you know gasoline prices. We went and visited my
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: sisters or my wife's sisters in the Greater Pittsburgh area.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: I paid two dollars and thirty cents for a gallon
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: for refill and went as high as north of three dollars.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: I believe that was in the greater Downtown Pittsburgh area.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: I saw some signs, so depending on where you're sitting,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: that will determine your gas prices. Anyway, why not start
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: with this one since I mentioned Christmas and we are
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: fast approaching Christmas. It is the stack of stupid what
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: are described as progressive churches. Red flag on that one. Anyway.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: In Colorado and Washington are hosting a great drag fiend
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Christmas events. Foothills Unitarian Church Fort Collins, Colorado, hosted its
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: third annual Drag Christmas Show. Quote A Drag Christmas Spectacular
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: describes a ninety minute performance advertised as a quote joyful,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: irreverent reimagining of the Nativity story that celebrates queer joy,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: chosen family, and the power of love and acceptance. Get
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: ready for the ultimate festive extravaganza with a Drag Christmas
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Spectacular where magical queers will slay their way to bethel
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Ham Magical queers, Joe, is that a new thing?
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: He?
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Neither? Or neither do I? Do you have to add
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: another letter to the lgbt A group of letters when
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: you refer to this collective community. Just a symbol? What
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: symbol will magical queer be? Will they a question mark? Okay,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: lgbt Q plus question mark? Anyway. The event website notes
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: that the show contains adult themes and is recommended for
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: ages sixteen and older. Oh, that's exactly what you think
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: about when you think about a Christmas. Tiny Tots. Reverend
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Shane Neil Barron, described as a queer identifying minister at
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Foothills Unitarian It doesn't, they don't. They don't label him
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: as a magical queer identifying speaking with Colorado Public Radio, Yeah,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: he's a splitter. He created the man a couple of
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: years ago in response to what he described as an
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: anti LGBTQ legislation that had been introduced there. I was
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: kind of sitting with that reality and also being a
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: queer person myself, I was just realizing what the church
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: needs to step into this gap and say something. What
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: if we created this little queer oasis, this little queer
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: sacred space at the holidays for folks to come to
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: see their lives and their community lifted up as worthy.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Which is so Needa right now, huh, I thought the
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: teachings of Christ were kind of, you know, neutral. He
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: called the magi quote outside figures close quote in this
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: biblical story, which he said, help inspire the idea to
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: incorporate dragon LGBTQ themes into the different Nativity story, which
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: he made up whole cloth. Ah, because the three Wise
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Men were from the east, parallels can be drawn to
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: the LGBTQ community. What is there any reference in the
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Bible about how the Magi were rejected by the folks
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: in Bethlehem when they came to visit Jesus after his birth.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Did they ride them out on the rail? Did they
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: tarn feather the magi? Did they imprison them? Did they
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: throw them off the top of a building? Because well,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: maybe they were part of the LGBTQ plus community. No,
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: thank you, dad, mischieon Dad. The minister went out to say,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: what if they embodied this search for queerness, meaning the
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: three Wise Men, instead of just finding Jesus. What if
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: they actually stumbled upon queer people coming alive, being born
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: again and claiming joy, claiming hope, and claiming resilience close
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: quote I don't even know what that means. Colorado Church
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: not the only one. MS Table e Maiyas Table in Seattle,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Washington described itself as a spiritual community that is LGBTQ
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: affirming and is connected to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America,
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: hosting quote a Christmas Carol that was inspired by a
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: drag event on December twelfth called quote Drag Church The
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Yassification of Ebenezer Scrooge that does not make s well wait.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: According to the event description, quote the Yassification of Ebenezer
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Scrooge is a traditional Christmas pageant reimagined through a queer
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: lens based on Charles Dickens classic of Christmas Carol. The
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: audience follows Ebenezer Scrooge as he's guided by three drag
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: queen's spirits on a transformative journey. Together they help him
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: release shame and anger, embraces true self, and discover the
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: joy of the community. So I'm glad to believe that
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: I guess Ebden's or Screws was such a jerk, and
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: so mean is because he was in denial about his
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: own sexuality. I've read a Charles Dick and Christmas Carol.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: I didn't see that message in there. Although listen, I
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: loosely use the term art in all of this. Art
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: is art, and you can do whatever the hell you want,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: and that's fine. But I just find it seemingly, well
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: maybe objectionable this time of year. They obviously do not
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: embrace the Charlie Brown Christmas version of the meaning of
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Christmas five forty six. At least that's my take. You
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: can have a different one, of course. Fifty five caresit
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: the talk station more stupid coming up. I'd be right back.
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: Fifty five KRC bad breath is a confidence give me

  Speaker 2: but do not feel confident in navigating through a busy airport.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: So stupid is a justification to use a wheelchair, And
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: might I ask if you have difficulty navigating around an airport,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: maybe because you don't know where you're going, how does
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: a wheelchair improve that process? There are only so many
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: contract workers assisting with wheelchairs in each airport, so frivolous
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: requests hurt those with a real need. Now, if this
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: is you and you would do this, I have an
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: award I'd like to give out to you, not one
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: that you necessarily.

  Speaker 2: station be right back after the top of the air.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: News plenty to talk about, but I would enjoy hearing
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: from you as well, so feel free to give me
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: a call. Don't go away. Today's top headlines coming up
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: at the top of the hour changes every minute. Fifty

  Speaker 2: five krz buckstation. It's six or six to ffty five
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: kr see the talk station. Happy Monday, Christmas week, yay,
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: looking forward to that, Looking forward to Christopher Smithmen coming
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: up in an hour and twenty minute hour fifteen minutes.

  Speaker 2: Monday with the Smith event. Brian James Monday Monday, coming
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: to with an eight o five. Today we'll talk about
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: inflation two point seven. Is it good news or bad news?
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: So SA Security facing cuts and who's going to save
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Social Security? Of course I mentioned that earlier in the program.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Nobody's willing to do that. Segue to topic number three.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: One third of Americans believe Social Security won't exist when
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: they retire. Why because of the foregoing Who will save it?
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: No one's willing to try third rail of politics. But
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: we can't deal with that. It's not like people are
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: planning on living off of it when they retire. Finally,
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: with Brian James, the SEC gives the ok to tokenize stocks,
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: described as a move toward blockchain. Then we hear from
• 37:31

• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Heart for Seniors organization. They're doing wonderful things for the
• 37:40

• 37:51
  Speaker 2: seniors in our community. Fast forward to right now five

  Speaker 2: and eighty two to three talk pound five fifty on your
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: AT and T phones before we move on topic, why
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: is the suit in New Hampshire? Gary's guy? Welcome back Gary,
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: Happy Monday and Merry Christmas.
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: Hey, Hey, Merry Christmas. I wanted to list you and
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: Joe and everybody out in listening sphear a very merry
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: Christmas and be thankful for everything that we have and
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: that we're bussed that we really do live in a
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: wonderful country. With that, I'm going to disagree with you
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: on the gun bloat blowing up of the drug runners vote.
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: I find it well within authority of Trump or any
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: other president to conduct this because I am a thirty
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: four year member of the military. I've been a numerous
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: conflicts over the years and where I supported those conflicts,
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: and I did a little search on AI with and
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: if you look under the all actions not declared war,
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: that war has only been declared in the United States
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: five times by the United States not even the Civil
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: War was considered a war officially by Congress because it
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: was more of a police internal action because they didn't
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: recognize the states. But then you get into the quasi war,
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: the Banana War, the Gunboat diplomacy, which is numerous wars
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: between US, Cuba, the Philippines, Hawaii, also the North. You know.
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: Then you get post war, the Korean Expodus, the Vietnam Operation,
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: Urgent Fury, and the Russian Civil War interventions, the Barbarie Wars,
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: the Banana, the Panama, the Boxer, the Banana Wars, the
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: punitive expeditions. Again with Mexico, we've been at war or
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: executive actions or the command or chief has taken executive actions,
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: and we have killed hundreds of thousands of people. Yeah,
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: as to protect our shores.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: I understand history, man, I know, recite the same list
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: you'd recited as well.
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: Okay, but this gives the president, as a commander in chief,
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: the absolute right to blow the ships out of the
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: water without court action.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Like a legal argument, like a stopple or latches. If
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: you allowed a conduct to go on for an indefinite
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: period of time, you can no longer assert the legality
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: of it down the road if you've been complicit in
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: allowing it to go on. I'm playing a little fast
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: and loose with that parallel though. But in all the
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: conflicts you've discussed, yes, TACIT approval from our elected officials,
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: either through silence or in some cases authorizations for you,
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: some military force, which I would at least appreciate in
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: this particular context, considering we're in a completely different hemisphere
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: than the so called war on terror in the Middle
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: East designed to focus on life bomb fundamentalists terror. And
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: I understand your position, and I know many elected officials
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: and are in current administration, the Trump administration, are relying
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: on arguments that you are making. Currently, there are counter
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: arguments that I have agreed with, like the likes of
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Thomas Massey and Senator Rand Paul and others who think
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: that there should be some congressional approval of some sort,
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: either by way of authorization for you, some military force,
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: and a declaration of war I think will be needed
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: if we start bombing the country of Venezuela. You know,
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: it's a little bit different when you're talking about drug
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: boats that are heading for our country, although again I
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: don't think they represent an imminent threat because you don't
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: know really where they're going until they get close to
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: our territorial waters, in which case don't you still have
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: plenty of time to stop them. So you know, there
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: are different opinions about the Constitution. You know, some people
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: will view it as this ever leaving a living and breathing, expanding,
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: malleable document. Others are strict constructionists and believe that what
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: the founders wrote in the Constitution, it's what the founders meant.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: I tend to lean to that side of the equation.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: That doesn't mean I'm necessarily right, but it doesn't mean
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: my opinion is unfounded or wrong. This is why we
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: have discussions and debates and why I welcome calls like
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: you're scary. Yeah, you disagree with me, and that's fine,
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: But we need to get to the core at the
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: root of things. You know, is it a question of
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: whose ox is being gored? You know, if the Barack
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Obama starts launching missiles and blowing people up, and I
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: can be critical of that. I can be critical of
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: it when it's a Republican doing it as well. George Bush,
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: you know they all have done it. Again. It's tascit
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: approval since no one stops to question the legality of it,
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: or stops to question, Wait a second, what are we
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: trying to gain here? What is the ultimate goal? We'll
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: be happy to give you approval if we can all
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: wrap our heads around what we're dealing with and trying
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: to accomplish. At least it provides a strategy moving forward
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: to perhaps limited, you know, very broad strikes, random strikes
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: on oh, like, for example, Bill Clinton blowing up an
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: aspirin factory in order to take the attention away from
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: him and Monica Lewinsky's little issue going on. You see,
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: there are abuses of that kind of power that do
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: go on in the world, and that's that's all I'm
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: rallying against.
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: So that's why I understand there has been abuses of it.
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: I think that's that's that's a valid point. But you know,
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: I think the commander in chief has a very strong
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: action to take action against foreign foes as he seems fit,
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: because that's why we elected him, you know, and if
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: you don't like it, you can unelect him.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Well, let me just throw at an interesting thought exercise
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: at you. There are a lot of people, even in
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: our elected capacity, members of Congress, members of the Senate
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: that think that Israel is waging a war of genocide
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: in Gaza, and of course genocide bad. And there may
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: be an administration, perhaps the next one, if we get
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: a Democrat in who abides by that philosophy, labels Israel
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: a terrorist organization, one that engages in genocide, and then
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: chooses to start going after targets in Israel. For that.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: I know it's a wild thing to suggest, considering the
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: nature of our very very deep relationship with Israel, something
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: that Democrats and Republicans would all agree we have. But
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: if you give the president that much leeway an authority,
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: it is certainly within the realm of conceivable that they
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: could go down that road. Why well, because they're committing
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: acts of genocide, which we don't approve of as a
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: concept here in the United States.
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: So well, thank you, no, thank.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: You, Hey, listen man, I love you too. I like
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: the decid listen. I like to engage in these back
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: and forth discussions. I am not saying ultimately that you
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: are wrong. In the final analysis, someone say, see New Hampshire,
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: Gary was right, this is how this is where we
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: ended up, or that the status quo is okay with everybody.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: We're going to allow this sort of fast and loose
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: with dropping bombs to go on because we can make
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: an argument that these are, you know, existential threats. They're
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: inevitable there. You know that we need to stop them
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: as early as possible because they're going to hurt us.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: I know those arguments. I hear them all day long.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: But again, we just look at blowing up a speedboat
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: fifteen hundred miles away from US, and you say that
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: they represent an imminent threat. That word eminent tends to
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: be a problem for me because I don't see a
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: speedboat moving forty miles an hour toward US fifteen hundred
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: miles away as an eminent threat. Look, there it is,
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: we're tracking it. We can track it as long as
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: it's in the water, and we can blow it up
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: anytime we damn well please. And I prefer it pretty
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: much confirmation that they're heading here with whatever's on the
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: boat before we blow it up, because it's heading to oh,
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know, some other country that's it. I appreciate Gara,
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: I really do. Man, Merry Christmas if we don't talk
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: between now and tomorrow, Brother, you have a great one
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: six fifteen fifty five Karosite Talk Station, Feel free to

  Speaker 2: seven fifty two to three Talk Pound five fifteen hundred AT
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: and T fund.
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: People are having the same argument about Donald Trump getting
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: these going after these oil tankers. There's were chasing a
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: third one, We've already seized two of them. Trying to
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: impose the sanctions. They're using these sanctioned oil tankers. They're
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: putting different flags on them to make the appear that
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: they don't fall within the sanctions. It's false flag, literally,
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: is what that is. And so the Trump administration is
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: going after the sanctioned oil tankers and the Democrats are
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: pulling their hair out of this because well Trump's doing it,
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: but along perhaps the same lines as my conversation with
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: the amster Gary, you know what authorities he have to
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: do this? And Senator Tim Kine of Virginia point out
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: the Democrats problem with this. He's on the meat the
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: press yesterday says Trump used the military to mount pressure
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: on Maduro, runs contrary to his pledge to keep the
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: United States out of unnecessary wars. Perhaps quote, we should
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: be using sanctions and other tools at our disposal to
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: punish this dictator who is violating the human rights of
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: his civilians and has run the Venezuelan economy unto the ground.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: But I tell you we should not be waging war
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: against Venezuela. We definitely should not be waging war without
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: a vote of Congress. Now, is the seizure of the
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: oil tankers is that war? It could be a component
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: of an active war. But his point is, and this
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: is where we get into this need to perhaps confiscate
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: or grab these oil tankers who are flying under false flags,
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: violating without question. Let's assume for the sake of discussion,
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: there is no factual dispute that these tankers violate international sanctions.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: So he says, we should be using sanctions and other
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: tools to punish the dictator. Well, those sanctions are already
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: in place. That's the vehicle, the sanctions for our military
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: to grab the tankers. Now, if you take that that vehicle,
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: that measure of enforcement, this seizure out of the equation,
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: we're left back where we are, where they're using false
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: flag tankers to ferry out their oil and keep their
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: economy afloat. Seventy percent of the revenue that Venezuela relies
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: upon comes from these well unsanctioned illegal shipments of oil.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: And they're going, of course to China, and they were
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: were apparently going to Cuba, and there was a whole
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: article on how colossally screwed up Cuba's economy already was
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: before the sanctions went in effect, before this military blockade
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: kicked in, which is largely successful. They say, most of
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: these sanctioned boats are just sitting there in the harbor
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: and they're not going anywhere. Why because they know that
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: we're going to pull them over and confiscate the oil.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: And the other cover that I find on this one,
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: at least it appears that the Trump administration is getting
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: legal authority to do it. After we confiscated the first tanker,
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: it was done pursuing to a warrant, and then they
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: said they were going to go to court and get
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: authorization or have authorization rejected by the court to take
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: the oil, to seize the actual oil and sell it
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: off or otherwise let it a nearer to our benefit.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: But at least it's going to go through a separate
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: legal challenge. But you know, go back to Senator Kine.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: I understand what he's saying. But if the sanctions aren't
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: working and they continue to violate the sanctions, what are
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: we going to is it? Is it double secret sanctions
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: that we're going to impose something at a la animal house.
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: Is there something out there that we haven't used by
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: way of a sanctioned tool or a non warfare leading
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: to tool that we still have in our arsenal of tools.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: You need a firmly stated letter from Hans blicks right,
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: Joe that would do it, expressing the unhappiness of the
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: Trump administration for their violations of sanctions. Another strong letter
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: to follow, and if you don't follow our what we demand,
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: then then we're going to get really really angry. And
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: we'll use explatives in the third follow up letter to
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: prove how angry we are. Yeah, I mean, at some
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: point you get well, watching the same way in New
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: Hampshire Gary's talking about, you go through everything you can
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: to stop it from happening, and then you're kind of
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: left with the last resort, which seems to be use
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: of the American military. There's no question is an extraordinarily
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: complicated issue. But I do have much less of a
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: problem with enforcing these sanctions on the oil tankers because
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: they're out there, they're in place, Venezuela knows about them.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: Obviously they are doing everything they can to violate the
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: sanctions or otherwise get around them. That has to come
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: with some kind of repercussions. And of course, it wouldn't
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: it be nice if Congress said, a violation of these
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: sanctions allows the American military to seize these boats and
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: their contents. If it was written that way and was
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: approved that way, I take much greater comfort in it.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: Fast and pro roofing can take great comfort calling fast
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: and pro roofing. There couldn't be talk station. It's sex

  Speaker 2: Avenue was closed anyway with information called the Hamilton Police
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: Department Investigation Section. That number, if you can remember it,
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: five one, three, eight six, eight fifty eight eleven, So
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: that was awarded this morning. So it is possible that
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: it's still closed. I don't know what the current status is.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: So just listen for Chuck. Excellent point, Joe. But you know,
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: I'm always reading something when Chuck's doing his traffic. It's
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: like people tell me about commercials that are running on
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: the morning show, and they'll say something to me about it.
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I you know, honestly, I'm busy reading something
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: for the next segment. I told I'm not paying attention. Sorry,
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: It's just the way my day works. Wilmington, where officials
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: there have delayed the final approval of a four billion
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: dollar Amazon data center. This after weeks of intense opposition
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: from the Wilmington Residence facility, described as spanning four hundred
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: and seventy one acres off US sixty eight community members
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: flooding council meetings and organized town halls to voice concerns
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: about the impact. One resident at THURSDA last Thursday's meeting,
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: there is not a facility like this anywhere else to
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: compare to. You have no idea what the harm effects
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: will be. Someone who well lives directly up next to
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: the proposed site hadn't been built yet, leading efforts. Her
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: name's Jeka Jessica Sharp, leading efforts to stop the project.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: We just moved into our homes four or five months ago.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: Nobody told us this was going on, that this was
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: in the works. You build what you think is going
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: to be your forever home, and then you find out
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: this is not going to be a farmer's field behind
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: you anymore. Well, I found that out today. It was devastating.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: There were lots of tears to be shed. I certainly
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: appreciate that sentiment. My wife and I were looking to
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: buy a house when we first moved back from Chicago,
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: and there was a parcel or there was a very
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: very nice house, and we thought, boy, this has everything
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: we need, the right size yard, the right and I
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: looked out over the hill behind the house and there
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: was this massive, massive field close to a you know,
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: pretty heavily traveled intersection. And you know what I looked
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: down and what I saw in my mind's eye development
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: of some sort. But my first thought was, there's going
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: to be a big box store there. Someday. It's going
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: to be a massive amount of traffic coming in and
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: out of there, and then I'm going to be looking
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: out over my backyard into a box store parking a
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: lot of box store. That was what was the deciding
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: factor in us up buying that. Guess what happened. Yeah,
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: they built one. So you got open space. And it's
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: not a park that's owned by the state of the county.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: It can be developed anyway. Council Member Jamie Knowles casts
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: the only descending vote with the project. When the project
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: came before the council December fourth, you said that too
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: many questions remain unanswered about the data center's impact on
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: the community. Clinton County Port Authority, which supports the project,
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: says it will bring economic growth and create one hundred
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: permanent jobs. Miss Sharps of the data center, it moves
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: forward that it should be built with care, saying if
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: we do have to have the center, needs to be
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: responsibly built, needs to be mindful of the residents that
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: are already here and respectful of this land in the community.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: Don't know what that ultimately means. They have additional town
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: halls planned for early January, which will allow residents more
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: opportunities to ask questions outside of the regular city council meetings.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: And this delay allows city officials more time to study
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: the project and then also aggress those adjust to those
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: community's concerns before making the final decision. So certainly understand
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: those concerns. And again, sadly Browndog Cafe at Summit Park
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: has closed. They've been open twenty seven years, ten years
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: at the Summit Park location. A little heartbroken over that,
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: considering how much I love that restaurant. But you know,
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: to the folks at Browndog Cafe, thank you for all
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: the wonderful meals that I dine earth was served there

• 56:06
  Speaker 2: touch with me. You know, regularly over the years, I
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: regularly call out Maureene. Used to call her conspiracy theorists.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Now I call her a pattern observer marine. I know
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: you're out there listening earlier, passing along comparable information relating
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: to Epstein on the heels of my sort of agreement
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: with Massey about why didn't the FBI give all give
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: us all the damn documents on Friday, the date the
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: law said they had to. Instead, it's a trickle, trickle
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: trickle inviting all kinds of speculations during the pot that
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: trip is not necessary. Give us the damned documents. That's
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: what the legislation was overwhelmingly passed bipartisanship. Anyway, back to Marine,
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: she was the one that first told me to believe
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: the election was stolen the twenty twenty election. We're rolling
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: the calendar back five years, and I asked her what
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: evidence she had, And of course, being a lawyer, I
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: know how long it takes to gather evidence. When you
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: file the suit, you have the discovery period where you
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: get the documents, you get the information to either support
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: or refute your claim. Many of those cases never got
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: to that state, so it was an allegation of election
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: interference without any supporting information. So many of those cases
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: got dismissed. But that does not mean it's over. We
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: had a bet on that one. I'm like, it's never
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: gonna happen. The election will not be overturned. There won't
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: be enough time. Biden will have been in office for
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: far too long for them to endeavor to unring the bell.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: How do you unring the bell? I don't know, never
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: happened before. So with that, you wait long enough, the
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: evidence starts to come out. Fulton County, Georgia. This is
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: pretty amazing now Earlier this month, Fulton County admitted admitted
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: that about three hundred and fifteen thousand early votes from
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: the twenty twenty election were illegally certified. However, they were
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: still included in the final tally. What December ninth hearings
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: when this admission came was before the Georgia State Election Board.
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: This from a challenge filed by a guy named David Cross,
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: which is it calls himself a local election integrity acrifice.
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: Activists across ellectioned Fulton County violated Georgia statute in the
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: handling of advanced voting early voting folks. This ahead of
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: the twenty twenty November election, counting hundreds and thousands of votes,
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: even though poll workers did not sign off on the
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: vote tabulation tapes, which is required by law, and Fulton
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: County admitted it. And Brumbaugh, attorney for the Fulton County
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: Board of Registration and Elections, told the Elections the Georgia
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: State Election Board at the hearing that although she hadn't
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: personally seen the tapes, the county does not dispute that
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: the tapes were not signed. It was these are her words,
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: there's lawyer words. It was a violation of the rule.
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: We since twenty twenty have new leadership and a new building,
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: a new board, and a new standard operating procedure, So
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: since then the training has been in handed. But we
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: do not dispute the allegations from the twenty twenty election.
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: Three hundred and fifteen thousand Secretary of State's Office substantiated
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: the findings at Fulton County violated official election record document
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: process as an initial cap when they discovered that thirty
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: six out of thirty seven advanced voting precincts in Fulton
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: County did not sign the tabulation tapes as required by
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: the statute. In addition to probing the unsigned tabulation tapes,
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: the investigation also determined that officials at thirty two polling
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: sites failed to verify what are described as zero tapes. Now,
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: voting law in Georgia requires poll workers to begin every
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: day of voting by printing and signing a zero tape.
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: What that means It shows the voting machine is starting
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: at zero. Sometimes they leave the information on. If they
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: don't reset it, they are a whole bunch of previously
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: tabulated votes that are still pre isn't on the system,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: which means of course they'd end up getting recounted if
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: they didn't reset it. If you don't have a verification
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: that it's set at zero, you don't know what it
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: was set at. And again, thirty two polling sites did
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: not provide these zero tape validations, and there's no record
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: of whether the tabulator was set at zero to the
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: start of the polling, no way of telling whether the
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: ballots from previous elections were left on the memory card
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: and later counted. Its reporter that notably this happened in
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: Montana as well, where officials discovered more votes than were
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: cast and believe the votes were leftover sample data that
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: hadn't been cleared. There's your answer to how you could
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: end up with oh, maybe fifty thousand people voting in
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: a county that only has forty five thousand people.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: Humph.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: Now, this activist cross these sign tapes are this sole
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: legal certification that the reported totals are authentic. Fulton County
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: produced zero signed tabulator tapes in early voting. This guy
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: looked at seventy seven made megabytes of election records that
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: he got through a freedom of information court request or
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: an open records request. These included one hundred and thirty
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: four tabulator tapes. That's where the three hundred and fifteen
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: thousand votes come from. Those total tapes equal that amount.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: Each signature block on those tapes was left blank. Again,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: this has been admitted by the officials in response for
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: the election oversight. They were not signed off on. He
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: also pointed out what he called additional irregularities, polling locations
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: being opened at, in his words, impossibly late hours like
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: two nine a m. Also found duplicated scanner serial numbers
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: that were in the memory devices removed from one scanner
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: and printed on an alternative scanner alternate scanner. He says,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: these aren't clerical errors, they are catastrophic breaks in the
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: chain of custody and certification because no tape was ever
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: legally certified. Full County had no lawful authority to certify
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: the advanced voting results of the Secretary of State, Yet
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: it did, and the results were accepted and folded into
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: the uncertified numbers and Georgia's election total. Court to the
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: Secretary of Raffensberger's office. When the law demand's three signatures
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: on tabulator tapes, he said, and the county fails to
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: follow the rules, those three hundred and fifteen thousand votes are,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: by nef definition, uncertified. What might that mean? The integrity
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: of the election is in question, isn't it?
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: Can you un ring the bell court of the final tally?
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: Biden beat Trump in Fulton County by less than twelve
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: thousand votes out of nearly five million casts, which allowed
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: him to grab the Georgia's sixteen electoral votes. Now, if
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: he gave Donald Trump the sixteen electoral votes that he
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: probably should have gotten in Georgia, if this was, if
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: this in fact, they negate these votes, then he still
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have won. He was more than sixteen votes electoral
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: wise short. However, of the five hundred and twenty thousand
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: ballots cast in Fulton County, Biden won more than seventy
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: two percent. So, of course, if you apply that seventy
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: two percent favorability in Fulton County to Biden across the
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: entire three hundred and fifteen thousand, you obviously come up
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: with a conclusion that more than twelve thousand the margin
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: of victory by Joe Biden, Well just wasn't there. So
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: how about that? Oh, look, Maureen's on the line Maureene
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: hang on, will take your con to a second six
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: forty eight fifty five cares Tike fifty two to fifty
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: five care City Talk Station, Michael, U are right, no
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: effect on Trump and Georgia, But what the impact on
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: the Georgia Senate race in twenty twenty. That one also
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: impacted profoundly and probably would have gone a different direction.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: The Republican probably would have won if throughout the three
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: hudred and fifteen thou votes that we were just talking about.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: And Maureene is there. I was hoping you're out there
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: listening to Mariene. Welcome back to the Morning Show.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: Happy Monday, Good morning, Brian. Okay, I want to talk
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: about our bet. I did relinquish on that and pay
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: up only because you are smart me out, smarter me
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: by making me put a date on when it would occur,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: which was in that period of Trump's administration. So I said, fline,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: even though I knew because of the strategic militantary operation
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: that we're in and the thing operation same thing that
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: it is going to be overturned and the way that
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: the bell is going to be unwrung is through the
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: autopen They're going to go backwards in time and undo
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 3: all the things of that administration. So, whether it's the
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: autopin on.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: You're saying across the board, any auto pen sign will
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: be rejected, not just the ones that he didn't provide
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: specific authority for.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: Oh no, No, the ones that he didn't provide they
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: can show where he was the time.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: But you can do that regardless of the whether or
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: not the vote was stolen. Let's say Joe Biden won
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: by a landslide. There's no questioning the integrity to vote.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: This didn't happen in Georgia. Everything was up and up.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: If he used the if they used the executive auto
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: pen without his specific authority, that bell can be unwrung
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: because it invalidates the signatures just as a matter of
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: law on its own, without any other issue being present.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: So we didn't vote on autopen use. We didn't even
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: know that was going on. But if we bet on
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: autopen use, yeah, the relief is still possible. You just
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: just act as if it never happened, and then we
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: go back to the reality of the way it existed
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: before Biden used it.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: But all the damage that he caused through all his
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 3: orders and different things like that that people behind the
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: scenes were actually doing makes them invalid.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: But okay, let's just look at it. Let's look at
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: the Green New Deal, the Inflation Reduction Act. He signed
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: that into law. If he wasn't president, he wouldn't have
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: signed it into law. And if somebody else was President Trump,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: you know, Trump wouldn't have signed that in law. Howse,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: you aren't going to to terminate that particular piece of
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: legislation based upon the voting issues, are you?
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: Well? Here as we go with here we go with
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: talking about who is actually president. Okay. Trump always says
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: we've got it all, meaning from the very beginning, and
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: as soon as that election was called for Biden he knew.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: They knew through this sixty thousand NN Army. You can
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: look it up in a Newsweek article that has been
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: watching everything that's going on via Space Force satellites and
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: everything else. That's why I keep calling the sustaining operation.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: They've known every move they've made, and they've given themselves
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: enough rope to hang themselves. They gave them that rope,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: and they indeed hung themselves.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen and the public hasn't seen that. It
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: hasn't been packaged into a definitive action plan like here,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: we're going to open a Senate commission, a committee, and
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: we're going to ultimately do this, that or the other
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: thing in order to unring the bell injustice that was
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: perpetrated on the American people. So that's still floating around
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: back in the background somewhere. I haven't seen.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: It, but you will. It will come out right And here, you.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: Know, what do you do that? See this gets back
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: to the original question, Well, then what do you do?
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: Well, then you change all those things, undo them, and
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: start on a clean path. And what he's going to
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: do is the meeting had the other night that everybody
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: tuned into that was just one of many to come
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: in the next I don't know if it's the exact
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: next one or one that's going to come down. He's
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 3: going to declare a national election emergency, and therefore that
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 3: gives him unique powers, and then he will find an
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: executive order outlining new election rules, which will be paper ballots,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 3: water marked in person, one day voting counts of votes
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: where they were cast, nothing by mail under extreme circumstances perhaps,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: but that's can't take us.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: Which we relate to federal elections, which means on a
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: going forward basis, we'll have greater election integrity, but it
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: doesn't change the reality of what happened previously. I mean,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: go back to my Green New Deal. Is everybody who
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: got a subsidy under the Green New Deal going to
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: have to return it? If we unring that bell, the
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: subsidy would be invalid from the outset ergo. Someone who
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: received the subsidy under an unauthorized, invalid administration should not
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: be able to enjoy the benefits of what would be
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: an invalid piece of legislation.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: Well, maybe there's executive orders already in place where you
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: confiscate things that were that were obtained.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: God object boring. We're out of time just showing how
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: blank and complicated this would be. That's just one bill
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: and one bell that you would need to be unwrung
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: at massive and horrific chaos and expense. I just can't
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: see it happening.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: I love you, Maury, have a very I'm practical, practical,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: all right when it happens, say I told you so,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: Love you, Maury, and Merry Christmas. Stick around, folks, A
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: little more to talk about before we get the Christopher
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: Smithman at seven twenty. Today's top headlines may up to
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: the talk station. It's seven oh sisters here at fifty
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: five cases talk station. Very Merry Christmas Day, every bring one.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: Gotta do the Christmas Special tomorrow. Rob Rider in city
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: with his guitar and we'll take all kinds of calls,
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: hopefully with well wishes and the holiday spirit and whatever
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: else Rob and I can decide to do tomorrow. I
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: am looking forward to that. It's got an Ottle family
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: or it's a fifty five car Sea tradition, and I
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: always think of my dad when we do the Christmas show.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: So that'll be tomorrow morning. And today coming up at
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: seven twenty Christopher Smithman with a Smither event one hour
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: from now Monday Money with Brian James. We'll talk about
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: whether two point seven percent inflation is good news or not.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: So it's a security facing cuts and who's gonna save it?
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: Keep going back to that continuing theme, no one will.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: They don't want to touch it. And then the follow
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: up topic with a third of Americans believing social security
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: will not exist when they retire, probably a good mentality
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: to have considering the foring of the prior topic. Who's
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: going to save it, because well, we've got a real
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: train wreck on our hands with that one, plus the
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: SEC giving clearance for tokenized stocks. If you don't know
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: what that is, you and I will learn together to
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: move towards block Jane Brian James for that. And then
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: the wonderful humanitarian she is, Patti Scott returns Heart number
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: four Seniors dot Org Heartforce Seniors, and Patty will comment
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: on the generosity of the listening audience every time she's on.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: She does, and I can't thank you enough for being
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: so generous, not only just for donating to Heart for
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: Seniors and the wonderful work they do locally for the
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: senior community, but for all the charitable responses that I
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: hear about from my listening audience. It was just last
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: week I was talking to I heard me the aviation
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: expert Jay Ratliffe, and before I started with him on
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: his topics, I mentioned the just beautiful gift. A woman
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: I believe her name was Sharon donated one one thousand dollars.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: I had Brian Ibold on for the Help Squad, which
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: you can find online at the Help Squad, since he
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: with a y sin Help squadsincey dot com and there
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: are Christian Faith Collaborative helping folks on the West Side
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: that are dealing with struggles Shivia, Coleraine, Dell High and
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: Green Townships, and they really do a great job. And
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: I started off by mentioning the thousand dollars contribution this
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: woman made and I just was so moved by that
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: I had to thank her for that. And then Jay Ratliff,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: who does not want me to say this out loud,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: I'm sure because I didn't even learn it from him,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: he wrote down the website and low and behold, guess
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: who got another thousand dollars contribution After I talk with
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: Jay Ratliffe. God bless you, Jay Ratliffe. He is an
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: unbelievably humanitarian guy. So helping folks who really truly need
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: the help, that's what the Help Squad does. That's what
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: folks like Jay do, and that's what folks like you do.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: And you are all just tremendous, tremendous in your compassion,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: your willingness to give to those truly in need. And
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: it just that brings me more joy than anything for
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: just to be in a position to let folks know
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: about these organizations and the charitable work that's being done,
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: and so you can fulfill your personal mission to engage
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: in some measure of help and assistance and compassion for
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: folks that are on life's margins. So God bless each
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: and every one of you. And moving over this pesky
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: topic of inflation. And I had mentioned earlier in the program.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: You know we talked with Tomacallt earlier about gas prices
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: and depends on where you're standing, how much gas is
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: went to Pittsburgh over the weekend visit my wife's sisters
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: north of three dollars in the greater Pittsburgh area, but
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: we only paid two dollars and thirty cents to fill
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: the tank on the way back after we re entered
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: the state of Ohio. Massive difference. So location, location, location,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: But why is it cheaper here in Ohio than it
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: is in California? Interesting op at piece by Elissa Finley
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: in the Journal dated the twenty first yesterday. So it
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: starts out trivia question for your holiday road trip in
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: which five metropolitan areas did consumer price index rise? Since
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: we're talking with Brian James later about inflation by less
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: than two percent over the preceding twelve months. The answer
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: Detroit Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Atlanta, all coming in less than
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: one point seven percent inflation, Detroit with only point seven
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: percent now pivoting over the four metro areas where the
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: price on average have increased by more than three percent
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: Philadelphia three point three, La three point six, San Diego
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: four in Riverside, California jump four and a half percent.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: M Here's the point, Milton Friedman, she says, Observe the
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon. Think about
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: the printing press. The more dollars in the world, the
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: less valuable they are. However, affordability, what any given item costs,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: is a lot different and is very much a local phenomenon.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: This goes back to the whole idea of self inflicted
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: wounds that I talk about incessantly, and I apologize for
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: folks sick of hearing about it. The entire Europeion has
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: killed a European Union has killed itself by rendering inexpensive
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: reliable fuels ver Bolten Anyway, She points out housing. Among
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: the reasons for the higher CPI rate readings in California's
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: metro area are fast rising housing costs that riverside where
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: they had four and a half percent inflation, described as
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: an exurb of LA. A lot of people moved out
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: of the Greater LA area because they can't afford to
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: live there, so they went out to places like Riverside,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: and well, the supply housing hasn't kept up with demand,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: not because the demand isn't there, not because they couldn't
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: make money. It's the state's litigation friendly environmental laws and
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: strict zoning laws which shoot construction costs up through the
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: roof and suppressed development. Housing prices up four point four
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: percent in Riverside, five point six in San Diego over
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: the preceding twelve months, Dallas up only point one only
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: one point one percent in Houston, Phoenix declination a point
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: one percent in housing prices. Wow, now she realizes in
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: points out well housing prices and a lot of Sun
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: Belt cities also asserged. You know, after the pandemic, people
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: moved out of New York and went straight down to Florida.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: But more permissive permitting and zoning allowed the housing developers
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: to bring on additional supply quickly. So you look in
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles, where they have a metro population of twelve
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: point eight million people, only one hundred and eighteen thousand
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: building permits were issued between twenty twenty one and twenty
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: twenty four. And you think, Okay, that figure doesn't mean
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: anything to me. One hundred and eighteen thousand billion permits
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: for twelve point eight million people. Find will give me
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: a comparison. Here you go, Atlanta with a six point
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: three million population, issued one hundred and sixty three thousand,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: five point one million population, Phoenix issued one hundred and
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: eighty seven thousand. Over in Houston, where the population is
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: seven point five million, they issued two hundred and sixty
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: seven thousand permits over the same period of time, two
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: hundred and eighty one thousand in Dallas, where the population
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: is only eight point one million, compared again to Los
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: Angeles twelve point eight what's going on with that? Now?
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: She does take a stab at Jadvans, blaming illegal immigrants
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: for making housing unaffordable, and I do believe there is
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: a component of that in there. How do you absorb
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: twenty million people when you don't have twenty million additional
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: housing units? Good question, But pointing to Florida, housing prices
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: remain stubbornly high. Why well, the lack of construction workers
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: Now they have great zoning laws down there, and you
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: can easily get a permit to build something in Florida,
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: and they regularly build houses. But state law that requires
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: companies with twenty five or more employees to use everify
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: to check the authorization of the worker, in other words,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: ferret out the illegal employees. That's resulted in a substantial
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: reduction of construction labor. Why well, apparently forty percent of
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: Florida's construction labor force is foreign born, with a good
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: share of them undocumented. There's your downside for cracking on
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: imgran cracking down on immigration. Are there people out here
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: in the United States that are here lawfully or citizens
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: that can do drywall work and construction work? Hell, yes
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: there are. That's called a trade job. On the other hand,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: and moving over to Democrats in California, they don't want
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: to build, not a lack of construction workers. It's also
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: they don't want to drill for oil either of states.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: Milannge the climate policies driving energy prices up eight percent
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: eight point seven percent in San Diego Riverside Poor Riverside
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: up almost eight percent la seven percent, while prices fall
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: every place else two point three percent. Down in Atlanta,
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: down almost a percent, in Phoenix, down three percent.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: In Detroit.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: Houston's dropped three point four percent. Going in the right way,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: they don't ban fossil fuels, five point one percent jump
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: in Philadelphia for energy prices. They shut down of Colon
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: nuclear plans, drove up electric rates. Self inflicted wound. She
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: also points to legal abuse which impacts insurance premiums, another
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: business costs that ultimately you pay in the form of
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: increased premium. Los Angeles described by the American tort Reform
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: Foundation as a in their words, judicial hellhole. This group,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: called the Periman Group, estimates the total local tortue tax
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: that will be the money imposed on businesses as or
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: consequence of settlements or judgments to be three thousand, six
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty eight bucks per person. Mandatory insurance costs
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: get a load of this an uber fare in Los Angeles.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: The mandatory insurance costs imposed by legislation in California make
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: up forty five percent of the average uber fare, compared
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: to about ten percent in most other places in the country.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: She said taking an uber across LA can cost more
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: than a flight to Miami. Higher state mandated minimum wages
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: also increase the price of food when you're eating out.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: Cost of eating out there fourteen point four percent increase
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: in San Diego twelve point four percent. Those poor folks
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: in Riverside. Since twenty twenty three, they make it fast
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: food employees earn at least twenty dollars an hour. Restaurant
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: prices nationwide jumped eight point three percent compared to again
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: to fourteen point four in San Diego. Hmmm, I guess
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: legislation has consequences. So Donald Trump's busily trying to do
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: whatever he can to stop the inflation. Democrats are blaming
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump for inflation. Now go ahead and blade Trump
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: for printing four or five trillion during his administration, which
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: increased the problem that Milton Friedman observed. But you can
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: blame the Democrats for doing it to themselves in every
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: other place where they make doing business almost impossible. Simple reality.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: Christopher smithmen up next seven to sixteen, Right now, fifty
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: five KRCD talk station. I know it's the twenty second
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: of December. I still think you can get seven twenty
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: and fifty five KCD talk station on a Monday. That
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: means former Vice mayor of the city since Saint Christopher
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: Smithman provides us with an opportunity, or gives we give
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: him an opportunity to ventist fleen, we call it the
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: smith Van on the heels of my father and the
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: Monday morning spleen vent. Welcome back, Christopher. Great to hear
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: from you, and a very very happy Merry Christmas to
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: you and your family, my friend.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 9: Oh, Merry Christmas to you, Brian Thomas and your whole family,
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 9: And Marry Christmas to your very loyal listening audience. You know,
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 9: I am appreciative that they tune in to your show
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 9: like I do, and they give me an opportunity, you know,
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 9: on Monday mornings to express things to them. So Merry
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 9: Christmas to all of them, and I thank you for
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 9: the opportunity to share my thoughts.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 7: Brian.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 9: The first thing that's on my mind is an autopsy
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 9: of the local election that we just went through, and
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 9: I'm going to hone in on one specific part of it,
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 9: and I want to reiterate this to the public. We
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 9: were all lied to in Cincinnati as we went into
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 9: the local election. This is not about Christopher Smitherman, This
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 9: is not about Corey Bowman, this is not about Liz
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 9: Keating or Steve Gooden as some examples. This is about
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 9: a corrupt government at City Hall. I mean everything that
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 9: I'm saying now. The public deserved to know that we
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 9: were in settlement talks for eight point one million dollars
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 9: to give to protesters downtown. There is no way that
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 9: the city manager, the mayor, the entire city solicitor's office,
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 9: whomever you want to talk about, and the media should
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 9: have known. They should have been digging, They should have
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 9: been asking questions, They should have been trying to say,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 9: what should we know going into this election. This administration
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 9: hid that from the public. Do I believe that it
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 9: would have changed the outcome of the election. No, But
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 9: we deserved to have that information because Brian Thomas, as
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 9: a person, a mediate personality, would have done a deep
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 9: dive into that would have educated voters prior to voting
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 9: that City Hall was about to settle eight point one
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 9: million or total of maybe ten million, because the lawyers
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 9: are getting two million, and that the city was going
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 9: to have to issue judgment bonds, by the way, in
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 9: order to pay that debt, because they weren't going to
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 9: pay the debt. We are paying the debt. We forget
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 9: we act like Mayor pure vall is going into his
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 9: pocket with his repolled cars, taking the money and paying
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 9: out the ten million. He's not the people that are
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 9: in the city who are paying that income tax. We
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 9: are the ones paying this bill. We deserved to know
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 9: that information prior to the election. There is no media
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 9: outlet in this town that has put that in black
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 9: and white for us to see. I'm not focused on
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 9: the eight point one. I'm focused on the corruption. I'm
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 9: focused on hit that from us. And this is what's
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 9: wrong with our local government's public that we don't do
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 9: a deep dive and we don't look back and we
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 9: don't think why didn't they tell us that prior to
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 9: the election. It was right after the election. Oh, we've
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 9: got this settlement. We're not going to trial, We're not
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 9: gonna fight this. We're gonna surrender, and we're just gonna
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 9: give out ten million dollars of your money, pay the
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 9: lawyers two million, and then send out eight point one
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 9: million dollars to everybody else. And we're gonna issue judgment
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 9: bonds in order to do that. While we're in settlement
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 9: talks with Chief Washington, while we're in settlement talks with
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 9: Chief CG. Meaning we know there's gonna be other settlements
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 9: that were coming. We were aware of those things. We
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 9: were absolutely unaware of this. And this is big because
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 9: it absolutely impacts our police department. It impacts our budget,
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 9: It impacts our trust of them, meaning we were to
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 9: weigh in and said, no, we don't want you to
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 9: settle that case. We want this to go to trial.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 9: What are our options? That's the taxpayers. The taxpayers were
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 9: never brought in where there were any public hearings, any
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 9: discussions for us other than them voting on the settlement.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 9: But we didn't have an opportunity to weigh in. Those
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 9: who are paying the bill had no opportunity to weigh
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 9: in and say we want to go to trial. I'd
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 9: rather pay fifty million dollars and say we had our
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 9: day in court. They give them a point one million.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 9: Is that fair, Brian Thomas.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: It's fair that you hold that opinion, Christopher. I understand
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: where it's coming from all day long, and you know,
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: to the extent they were able to reveal what was
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: going on in settlement negotiations, I don't know it could
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: have been governed by the attorney clan privilege or but
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: the reality that the lawsuit was filed and where we
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: were in the lawsuit and what the subject matter of
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: the lawsuit was should have been a topic of regular conversation.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: So we're at least all aware. And this settlement didn't
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: come out of the right field, which it seems to
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: have come out of right field.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 9: Christopher, that's that right field that you describe is the
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 9: corruption that their lives, their lives, the corruption you and
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 9: I understand it didn't come from rightfield. And if we
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 9: had a paper of record that was willing to do
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 9: their job to ask the tough questions that the way
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 9: they used to do thirty or forty years ago, we
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 9: would have had this information. And right now there's no
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 9: opinion that's going in the paper saying this was wrong.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 9: The way it was handled was wrong. We were in
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 9: the middle of an election and this government should have
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 9: provided this information to the public. Where is that article.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 9: It doesn't exist. Everybody seems to be working together, Brian Thomas,
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 9: to undermine the people. And this is what is so
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 9: frustrating and why I wanted to start my spleen bit
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 9: this morning say I'm not focused on the eight million
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 9: eight point one million. I've already talked about that. I'm
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 9: this morning talking about the corruption of the eight point
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 9: one million, and that's all tied into the Irish contract
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 9: that just happened to happen right after the election. Let's
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 9: just drop down another six hundred and fifty plus thousand
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 9: dollars to her, by the way, right after the election.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, two days later to call corruption, hold on corruption. Well,
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: I know he has more on his mind. We're out
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: of time. In the segment seven twenty seven, me mentioned
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: very quickly, my friends are calling electric for residential electric needs.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: It's calling electric and I don't know, but I have
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: a really strong.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: Curency Deep Dog Station.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: Seven thirty one fifty five Ker City Talk Station Bryan
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: Thomas with former vice mayor of the city since Saint
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: Christopher's Smithman and maybe back Christopher.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: One of the interesting things I talked to Andre Ewing.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: Brother Drey was on the program last Friday, and I
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: asked him specifical about I Iris Rowlie, who's been has
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: very influential, and he said, and I'm boiling down his
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: comments too, And I asked him directly along the lines
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: of well, if Iris Rawley had been against aftab per
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: vol for whatever reason, if he rubbed her the wrong
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: way or didn't agree to this contract for another However,
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: many years the six hundred and fifty thousand dollars contract
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: we learned about after the election. Would it have changed
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: the election? I specifically said, would Corey Bowman have won?
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 2: And he said yes. Now, he's one man with one opinion,
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: But that suggests that Iris rolely wields a tremendous amount
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: of power among those who show up to vote in
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: the city of Cincinnati.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't think. I don't agree there, but that's okay.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 9: I really have high respect for Andre. He's in his
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 9: service to our city. But what I will say, and
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 9: I think the both of us, Andrea and I would
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 9: agree that she actively campaigned for him. So you have
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 9: a contractor that's getting lots of money, and she's actively
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 9: following Corey Bowman around, screaming at him, shouting at him
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 9: during the debate or any event that he might go to.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 9: She's showing up and clowning. She was an arm of
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 9: his campaign. The public doesn't understand that if you're a
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 9: city employee, you're not supposed to do that. But what
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 9: they've done, is they're slicing this thing. Well, she's not
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 9: an employee, she's a ten ninety nine er, she's a contractor.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 9: So therefore, as she takes our money, she can engage
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 9: directly in politics. She had a nepotism by giving fifty
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 9: eight dollars an hour to family members and hooking up
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 9: friends down there. And by the way, we had a
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 9: whole discussion publicly about invoices that were submitted, lack of
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 9: transparency on what our roi, our roi helping young people.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 9: A lot of us believe that that money could be
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 9: spent very differently with better outcomes. But why after the
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 9: election do you give her the contract? It was a
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 9: reward public. You did your job, soldier, You went out
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 9: there and campaigned for me I want, and now you
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 9: get your money. That's what we call corruption. We should
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 9: have had all of this information. And by the way,
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 9: the city manager isn't asking any more questions about what
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 9: she's doing, how she's submitting her invoices, who's getting paid what,
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 9: knowing that family members are getting paid, friends and family
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 9: are getting paid, no questions at all public. But guess
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 9: what elections have consequences. We knew that going into the election,
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 9: and many in the city just didn't care. They were
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 9: just so for Oh, I'm not going to vote for
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 9: Corey Bowman. I'm going to vote for this guy right here.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 9: And then we find out after the election that his
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 9: cars are being repolled, that you and I know as
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 9: just financially literate people, that when your cars are being repolled,
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 9: that they're you writing you, reaching out to you, your
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 9: payment isn't made. He asks like, oh, this just fell
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 9: out of the sky. They just came and refold my
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 9: car in front of the city hall public. That is
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 9: absolutely untrue. This is a guy that doesn't even know
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 9: how to manage his own checkbook, and he's now taught
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 9: now in charge of managing a billion dollar budget, which,
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 9: by the way, we have a massive deficit that this
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 9: city's going to have to resolve because COVID dollars are gone.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 9: There's no more offsets, so they're gonna actually have to
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 9: roll up their sleeves and actually do some work down there.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 9: But at the end of the day, this election was
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 9: let me pay everybody off. Here's your eight point one million,
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 9: two million dollars to the lawyers. And by the way,
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 9: the lead lawyer is Irish Rolly's total best friend, meaning
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 9: al Gerhardstein in Irish Roly are tied at the hip.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 9: They're all this is the guy that brought the collaborative
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 9: agreement to the City of Cincinnati. He wrote it. So
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 9: Iris and him are on the same team, right, this
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 9: is all the same thing. I would not be surprised
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 9: that she wasn't even at the table for the negoti
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 9: is because they will bring Iris into the room if
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 9: you talk to the president, the FOP president, they bring
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 9: her into meetings that there's no way in hell she
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 9: should be in the room discussing anything. But my point is,
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 9: at the end of the day, it boils down to
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 9: one feed corruption and the second thing it boils down
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 9: to is there what is the ROI the violence and
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 9: skill happening throughout the winter. The violence will continue in
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 9: the summer and all of these people will continue to
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 9: get paid.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: And that's the what results do we get from our
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: money question that no one seems to be asking or
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: following up on. Christopher Smith and hold On will come
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: back just a moment here I want to mention.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: De talk station.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: Here at fifty five Karrose de Talk Station, Christopher Smith
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: been on the phone doing an admirable job pointing out
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: the fraud corruption going on in downtown Cincinnati. Christopher, what
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: else is on your mind today?
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 9: Look what is happening in Minnesota with the corruption. We
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 9: have to keep our eye on that. There were thirteen
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 9: people charged this week for medicaid fraud. Now, what is
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 9: medicaid right? Medicaid is that safety net service that provides free,
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 9: low cost health coverage for millions of people Americans who
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 9: are in the category of low incomes. Why wouldn't the
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 9: Democrats be really angry to hear that someone from other
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 9: countries we're taking advantage of Americans who deserve and need
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 9: the safety net services in the tune of eight billion
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 9: dollars of corruption coming out of one state. So you
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 9: know they're not serious because they're trying to explain this away.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 9: Put it on the back pages, No real articles, no
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 9: deep dives. Thirteen people's were thirteen people were charged for
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 9: medicaid fraud. Fifth week? Oh there going to be more?
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's that's on top of the ones that
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: were already charged. I mean, it's we're entering into the
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 2: billions of dollars stolen in fraud, waste, and abuse.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 9: Right, not one billion, not one billion that they started with. Right,
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 9: you and I know this thing might hit eight nine,
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 9: ten billion dollars. This is a deep hole showing that
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 9: the governor should have known or did know that congressional
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 9: members should have known or did know they were at
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 9: campaigns events getting money from these people who were defrauding
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 9: our government, taking money from the poor, from medicaid, the
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 9: people that Democrats say they care so much about, and
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 9: then took the money and sent it to their country, right,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 9: took lavish trips, traveled all around the world full first class,
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 9: spending our precious federal dollars for the poor. That is
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 9: what is so crazy about this public that that you
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 9: have Democrats that are turning because they're more interested in
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 9: gaining power in the mid term elections. They're more concerned
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 9: about that than they are in exposing this fraud. So
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 9: what they're trying to do is act like the federal government.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 9: Trump is on some rage, he's trying to undermine something.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 9: All he's doing is showing us here's a here's a
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 9: state that is that is absolutely a deep state that
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 9: is engaging in fraud against the poorest people in our country,
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 9: Our Americans who need this medicaid, these Medicaid dollars that
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 9: they've been taking, siphoning that money off for their own
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 9: personal gain in order to help political candidates, and sending
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 9: the money to Somalia. And by the way, Somalia is
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 9: on that list consistently ranked as one of the most
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 9: corrupt countries on the globe. So we already know meaning
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 9: people who are the world knows that Somalia's government doesn't
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 9: have it together. And now all of a sudden we're
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 9: seeing eight billion dollars of fraud, Medicaid fraud. We've got
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 9: to keep saying medicaid fraud. That tells you that they
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 9: were stealing from the poor. The thing that the Democrats
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 9: say they care so much about, Brian salm Well.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: And you can focus on, yes, the program is designed
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: to help the poorest out there, and yes, the Democrats
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 2: typically hold the mantra of the party in favor of
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: helping the poor. But this is an insult to every
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 2: taxpayer taxpayers out there, because I'm glad part of my
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: taxpayers dollars go to Medicaid program because I want to
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: help those in life's margins. Well, you know what, they
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 2: don't care about monitoring the program so much so that
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 2: you know they're they're wasting billions and billions of the
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: dollars that you earn going to work every day and
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 2: not doing anything about it. They can't admit that this
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 2: is a good thing, the Democrats, because it exposes a
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 2: weakness in the program. It's built to not find fraud
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 2: wasted abuse, or if it's run by an administration that
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: doesn't care to look into it, they just ignore it.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: And the fraud wasted abuse continues and probably increases because
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: word gets out that there aren't going to be any repercussions.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: Look new sheriffs in town. Donald Trump, he gets doge going.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 2: They start looking out into the world and all these problems,
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 2: the PPP loans, the COVID relief money, everything else. They
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: discover fraud, fraud, fraud, fraud, and every American taxpayer should
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 2: be pissed off, if I may be so bold to
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: use that phrase. They can't acknowledge it, they can't admit it,
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 2: they can't concede it's a victory for the American taxpayer
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 2: that we found all this. And you know what, they're
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: not even done yet finding all this, Christopher.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 9: They're not and the reality of it is you and
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 9: I understand you're on the right nerve here, Brian Thomas,
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 9: because these programs they're taking money from us, and they're
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 9: saying they're helping the poor, and what you and I
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 9: are finding out they're not. That they're taking our money
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 9: and they're siphoning that money off of their own personal gain.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 9: That is so frustrating. Because our federal tax rates are
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 9: so high, they keep taking more and more money. They
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 9: keep saying they got to tax the heck out of
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 9: us because there's not enough money. We need more money
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 9: for safety net services. And what the President and the
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 9: administration is saying is no, we don't. All we have
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 9: to do is identify where the corruption is. They're splitting
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 9: of money. People are taking the money and using it
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 9: for their personal gain. Let's get that out of the
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 9: system and then see if we can lower taxes because
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 9: we don't need as much. This just has me so
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 9: angry because we have so many single moms out there,
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 9: we have so many people who have disabilities, We have
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 9: veterans out there who are depending on Medicaid as a
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 9: safety net service for them. This hits everybody out here
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 9: who needs safety net services. Democrats out here who do
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 9: not understand where you and I are talking about. We
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 9: are finding out that a governor and administration knew all
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 9: about this most likely, or should have known, that eight
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 9: or nine billion dollars was being taken out of medicaid
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 9: in order to help that state and those the poor
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 9: people there. Many they were not getting the services they
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 9: should have gotten because the money, the money was being stolen.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 2: You get the nail on the head on that one, Christopher,
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 2: just one of a multitude. I started out this morning
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 2: having a go at the federal government itself. Joni Ernz
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 2: asking for why the United States Postal Service can't account
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: for twenty one thousand bills. USPS doesn't even know what
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: they're using them for, pivoting over the Pentagon, failed its
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: audit for the eighth consecutive year. They can't pass an audit.
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 2: They don't have the records to show where the money's going.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: See this exists in every area of government. I want
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: accountability from the folks within government. Trump administration, Biden administration
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter. I want accountability for all these programs. I
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 2: want some follow up. I want some people like inspectors
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 2: general minding the shop and looking to see. First off,
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 2: one is the program doing what it's supposed to do,
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: actually helping those on life's margins? Too, is the program
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 2: being abused by fraud? And the answer, at least in
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 2: Minnesota was yes on that one. Wait for it for
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: the Pentagon. Maybe someday they'll pass an audit. We'll find
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: out what they did.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 9: Give me one more minute. This will get your blood
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 9: boiling real quick, because this is why this Okay, this
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 9: is what happens. They then go to race and they
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 9: want to make you a racist and everybody a racist
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 9: for talking about what's happening with Somalia. So you're a
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 9: Somalian you now you say you're talking about the fraud.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 9: Now all of a sudden, you're a racist because you're
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 9: you're identifying the fraud. I want the public to know,
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 9: you've got to not allow them to get it to
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 9: the identity politics and get us away from the subject
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 9: matter of the corruption.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: Stipid argument to do that. It's just stupid.
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: They do it because people are doing it.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: Because people cower in the in the act, in the
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: face of the accusation when it's not supported by any
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: evidence whatsoever. I don't care if it's the Remulakians coming
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: from the planet of Remulac. It started stealing. It doesn't matter,
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: it's the people who stole it. They stole what defines
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: my and your anger. People stealing money, anyone an American money.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 9: It doesn't matter what country they came from, It doesn't
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 9: doesn't matter what part of the world they live in.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 9: But this is what they're doing right now. They're going
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 9: to Democrats are going to continue to try to do it.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 9: They're trying to call anybody that calls attention to this
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 9: a racist or an uncle Tom or someone who is
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 9: not connected. And I say stay on this bone, follow
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 9: this story, and to make sure we get Minnesota all
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 9: cleaned up here and this eight billion and nine billion dollars,
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 9: we follow the money all the way to Congress and
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 9: figure out who was involved, put them in handcuffs and
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 9: hold them accountable.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 2: You got my vote. You got my vote. Christopher.
• 1:41:15

• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: glad to hear that the last Christmas gift we had
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 2: to buy about it of the weekend. And yeah, I
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 2: did use Amazon much of the ciagrete. A lot of
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: people don't think I should chop on Amazon, but to
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 2: get my daughter's fiance something. So I got a care
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 2: package put together for Eric and that was it. We're done.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 2: So I was glad to see that. I know a
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: lot of people wait till the last minute, almost intentionally.
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 2: It's almost like it's like a sport. For some reason,
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 2: I'll be damned if I'm running out on the Christmas
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: Eve going to.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 8: The ball or see if I find that greatest idea
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 8: ever or the greatest deal ever.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or the most ridiculous gee, just see it in
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: the impulse by last minute shopping with no foresight or
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 2: thought into that gift you have to get for a
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 2: loved one. They're supposed to be a loved one. So anyway,
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 2: I got a kick out of this time of year,
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 2: and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas holiday Brian
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: in the great New Year as well. All Right, question
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 2: for you first. Now we're going to talk about the
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 2: latest CPI report showing that the inflation jump two point
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: seven percent over the past year. We think that's the figure,
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: and correct me if I'm wrong.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: I have some of the data.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 2: But okay, now that sort of stumbles upon to the
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: issue I had to ask you sort of as a
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: setup for this discussion, I just read excerpts from an
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 2: article by Elissa Finley why the affordability crisis is more
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 2: severe in California, and she pointed out, you know of
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: Milton Friedman saying, listen, inflation is always in everywhere, A
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 2: monetary a phenomenon. Okay, that's inflation, but affordability, that is,
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 2: the price for particular things can vary depending upon locale.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 2: California's paying north of five dollars heading towards maybe eight
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 2: to twelve dollars gasoline because they shut down the refineries,
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 2: So the price of gas way out of whack compared
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 2: to here where just over the weekend, I pay two
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 2: thirty a gallon to fill my tank. Now, energy is
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 2: part of the consumer price calculations, right, yeah, if we
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: report it, if we report Oh.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 8: These are these are leading comments that I'll make.
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 2: They are I understand, So I guess I just kind
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 2: of want to know, listen to the difference in just
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 2: the regulatory environment in any given state could be wildly different,
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 2: impacting the price and throwing you know, the whole idea
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 2: of well, what is inflation, you know, like as a
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 2: monetary phenomenon versus what is inflation by based upon what
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 2: you in your area are paying for any particular good
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: and service. They may be pulling their hair out screaming
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 2: about the price of gasoline or the price of bee
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: for the fact that fast food so much more expensive
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 2: in California because the mandatory twenty dollars minimum age law.
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 2: But it's not that way when you go out into
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 2: the world elsewhere. So some people are feeling it a
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 2: lot harder than others.
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 8: Oh absolutely, So I have a little bit of a
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 8: personal experience with us.
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: Very recently.
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 8: I'm helping a friend who's trying to navigate a new world,
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 8: new living situation out in California and just kind of
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 8: helping her understand what is the difference. And one of
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 8: the little things she went through as a person who
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 8: went through a divorce unfortunately and wound up buying a
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 8: car from her spouse as just part of the divorce settlement, right,
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 8: and she had to pay a bunch of taxes on that,
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 8: And I knew that was going to happen, but the
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 8: percentage that she had to pay really caught my eye.
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 8: And I think it wound up being like nine percent
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 8: just to buy a used car from her spouse. She
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 8: paid nine percent including all the fees and all the
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 8: crazy stuff you got to go through, whereas here it's
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 8: just sales tax of you know, a normal sales tax
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 8: more like six percent.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: So it's a little things like.
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 8: That that you know, that all add up. Yeah, we
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 8: hear all the headline things of gas, you know, in
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 8: the just the overall taxation out in California, for example,
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 8: but there's all kinds of little extra fees and all
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 8: these other things. Yeah, to live in a beautiful place,
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 8: don't get me wrong, but that state tries to.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: Eat people, no question about it.
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 5: All. Right.
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 2: Now back to the you know, the hints thing you
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 2: were making in so far as what this actual report
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 2: does show and maybe some of the data they left
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 2: out of it when considering it was a two point
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 2: seven inflation.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's talk about that a little bit.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 8: First off, when I'm not sounding any alarm bells here,
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 8: I talked with Andy Stoutter, chief Investment Officer, and he
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 8: gave us all an update on this, but which is
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 8: that the economists are not really thrilled with us latest
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 8: CPI are released because it just contains so little data.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 8: I'm looking at on the BLS Bureau of Labor Statistics page,
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 8: I am looking at the CPIU report that literally has
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 8: three categories of data for October and November. It's got gasoline,
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 8: it has new vehicles, used cars, and trucks. Everything else
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 8: has a hyphen.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: There's no data for food at home.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 8: Food, away from home, energy commodities, electricity utilities. It's just
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 8: plane not there. So that's where our two point six
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 8: percent number is coming from. And the economists are looking
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 8: at this saying, okay, it's not that good. They're not
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 8: thrilled with this release, but we're all the most are
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 8: kind of holding their tongues, it seems, until December, because
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 8: we feel like December will be back online. The reason
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 8: for this, of course, is the shutdown. We weren't collecting data.
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 8: We can to the head of the BLS a while
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 8: ago too, it made some major changes to it. So
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 8: you know, on one hand, again not time for alarm,
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 8: but let's not get too excited that we actually have
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 8: a two point seven percent CPI print.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's the case all.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 2: Right, But wheneverbody gets back online and they get all
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 2: the data points. Going back to here, you mentioned energy,
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 2: I know the Northwest is struggling with the energy. It's very,
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 2: very expensive. They haven't done pipe projects that would have
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: helped bring natural gas in lower and provide some relief.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 2: They're all full on green and they're they're struggling with
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 2: really high energy prices. Of course, not as bad as Germany,
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 2: who went, you know, full on green and has destroyed
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: its own economy doing that. But you know, where you're
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 2: producing energy less expensively. Elsewhere in the world, the price
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 2: of energy hasn't gone up as much or shouldn't now.
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 2: And when they do calculate energy prices as a component
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: of the CPI, they don't take into account the regulatory reality.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 2: It's I mean, I like to look at inflation as
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 2: a purely monetary thing. No I would agree with that,
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, and that's really what we should be focusing on.
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what the where the components of the
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 2: costs are coming from. The cost is the cost, because
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 2: it's got at the end of the day, it's coming
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 2: out of our pockets. The C and CPI stands for consumer.
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 2: We are the ones who pay for it. So yes,
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 2: we absolutely should be measuring that. Now, you can see
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 2: numbers in the same report for electricity they do.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 8: You have unadjusted twelve months ending November twenty to twenty five,
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 8: which again this isn't perfect, but year of a year,
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 8: electricity is currently showing at six point nine percent and
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 8: piped gas is nine point one percent. Now again that's
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 8: not including October and November because there's just no data,
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 8: so those numbers are still a lot higher than we
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 8: would want them to be. But hopefully again this December
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 8: number will clear things up and maybe we'll have maybe
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 8: you and I be having a different conversation in January.
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 2: We'll see how this works out. We keep our fingers
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 2: crossed that it's even lower than two point seven once
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 2: to get all the data in.
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 1: But do they do they.
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 2: Provide going back to my point, do they provide regional
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 2: inflation numbers? Like, you know, folks in this particular area
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 2: of the country are paying ten percentage points more for
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 2: energy versus say, I don't know, pick a state out
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 2: in the Midwest here, this's got some reliable, abundant power
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 2: resources where we're paying less. Do they show it in
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 2: that form, like maybe an advertisement for states with lower
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 2: regulatory schemes and thus better affordability.
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 8: Not in the reporting that I'm looking at that they
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 8: do get pretty in depth, but they don't report that
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 8: at the national level because they're speaking to a national audience,
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 8: and I think they really normally, I think we really
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 8: want to be super quiet about this until we actually
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 8: get to a point where we've got.
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 1: Good news to share.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 8: I think this administration has been very willing to be
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 8: loud about the good news and very quiet about a
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 8: lot the more frustrating news.
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just kind of am harping on it, a
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 2: dwelling on it because I know Donald Trump, everybody's looking
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 2: at him to do something about inflation. I mean that's
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 2: a big challenge. Of course, you got the FED involved
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 2: with that, but you also have the realities, like there's
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 2: the lowest beef herd head count since the nineteen fifties.
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 2: Your price of beefin is gonna go down, and Donald
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 2: Trump can't wave a wand and produce like double the
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 2: heads of cattle on any given farm. So that seems
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 2: to be out of a quick fix relief. You know,
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 2: energy prices are far more expensive in California because they're
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 2: shutting down refineries and coal plants left and right. And
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 2: I mean they're just some things that are completely out
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 2: of a president's hand. That's why I raised this as
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 2: an issue. He's got a challenge on his hands. People
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 2: want him to do something, but he can't in many cases.
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, Now I did did just locate the for
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 8: so it does break down into four regions. Oh and
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 8: this is again this is fuzzy numbers because it's still
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 8: in it's including the data that we just talked about.
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 1: It doesn't exist.
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 8: But then there's four regions Northeast, Midwest, and West. Every
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 8: one of them is three to three point one percent.
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 8: The South is two point two percent. So if you're
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 8: looking purely for inflation, inflation to be lower, I guess
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 8: move north. But I would still hold off until we
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 8: get some of these blank spots filled in on this report.
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 2: So security facing cuts, who's gonna save it? And some
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 2: Americans don't believe it's even going to be around when
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 2: they retire those topics coming up with money, mondays Brian James,
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 2: I hope you can stick around fifty five KRC dot
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 2: com for more and from the program at eight forty
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 2: for our hair seat care sit helping folks out there
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 2: in the senior community. Is doing a great job every
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 2: single day, doing a great job for financial planning for
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: his clients. Brian James, talking money matters. Let's move over
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 2: to soci's security. The giant train wreck that's been We
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 2: have seen the light at the end of the tunnel,
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 2: and it is a train It's not a beautiful light
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 2: of relief. So Security is on a train wreck, and
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 2: we've all known it. Nobody is willing to touch. It's
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 2: the third rail of politics. And I saw this study
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 2: you have from the Cato Institute. Shocking no One, Fifty
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 2: three percent of Americans under thirty say they'd rather cut
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 2: benefits of those currently receiving Social Security. By contrast, eighty
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 2: nine percent of seniors age sixty five and older say
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 2: younger workers should pay higher taxes to keep it benefits steady. Yeah,
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 2: but everybody voting for them, so I vote for me,
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 2: go meet, And that's exactly why they are elected. Officials
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 2: won't touch so as security. They want to be re elected,
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 2: and by touching it, it usually means having to control
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 2: the expenditures because we're running out of money. Brian James,
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 2: please unfold this for us.
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah, So, Cato Institute did a survey to confirm what
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 8: we all kind of know, which is social security doesn't
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 8: actually work and people are mad about it. So now
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 8: social security in general is highly supported. Eighty three percent
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 8: of Americans do say that, Yeah, that's probably a good idea.
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 8: It's seventy percent of people think that social Security benefits
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 8: are going to be reduced in the future. This is
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 8: a drum beat that I hear all the time, Brian Thomas.
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 8: People will always make the well, I can't count on
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 8: Social Security because it's going away.
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: No, it's not.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 8: It would have to be voted out of existence because
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 8: right now there is an entry on the top of
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 8: your pay stub, on the top of my pay stub
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 8: that says FIKA. FIKA is social Security taxes. So as
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 8: long as they keep pulling taxes off the tops of
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 8: our pay stubs, that's going to fund Social Security. If
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 8: they do absolutely nothing, then benefits on retirees in the
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 8: future will have to drop bay about twenty five percent,
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 8: but the program will be still solvent, so it's not
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 8: going anywhere. However, thirty percent believe that it won't exist
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 8: at all.
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, you're a financial planner. You're sitting there with
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 2: your client and they're off the mindset that it's not
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 2: going to be there, and that their goal then is
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 2: to plan financially for a time when they will not
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 2: be able to get a Social Security check or maybe
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 2: even though it'll be a lot smaller. Isn't that a
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 2: healthier perspective when it comes to trying to save and
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 2: manage for retirement thinking it's not going to be there,
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 2: and then magically when it shows up and you do
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 2: get that additional benefit, assuming it's still around, that that's
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 2: just gravy on your retirement depends.
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 8: I mean, some people just aren't going to be able
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 8: to make it period without social Security. So if you're
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 8: really going to try to plan without it, well, then
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 8: you need to find a buddy to live with, find
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 8: another retired comple.
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 1: Share housing with. Maybe you already are.
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 8: I mean I'm referring to married couples here too. It
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 8: can just be too big of a hurdle to get over,
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 8: you know, to completely assume. Now, now I do encourage
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 8: let's run the numbers. I always say, let's run the
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 8: hunky dory scenario of your financial plan, of your cash
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 8: flow projection. You know, nothing bad ever happens again and
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 8: everything you whatever promise comes to you. Here's how that looks.
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 8: That's your baseline. Now, let's run it again and reduce
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 8: social Security by twenty five to thirty percent. And if
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 8: that doesn't work, what changes do we need to make
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 8: right now? And that's always either going to be save
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 8: more work longer, or expect less spending. If you can
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 8: manipulate those three things, you can make it work. And
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 8: then sometimes, yeah, I'll do a third one with if
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 8: somebody is truly kind of paranoid, let's do a third
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 8: one with social Security not in the mix at all.
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 8: And for some people it's not on the table. That
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 8: means you simply can't afford to retire. So if you
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 8: want to plan for that, that's fine, but you are
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 8: kind of planning for, you know, kind of the end
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 8: of the word world, and the math does not show
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 8: that at this point.
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 2: Well, and that's the beauty of having a financial planner.
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 2: You've got these programs that do all those number crunching
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 2: in scenarios. Doesn't it run like through a thousand different
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 2: scenarios of where the market could and might go from
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 2: the worst case scenario to the best case scenario.
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's the big variable is always what are my
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 8: investments going to do? Right, we can figure out what
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 8: spending is going to do, We can attach inflation figures
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 8: to all that. You know, we can look pretty deep
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 8: in somebody's lifestyle. Those numbers are kind of sort of fixed.
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 8: They don't tend to waver too much. But we don't
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 8: know when the market is going to take chunks away.
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 8: All that we know is that it will, so we
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 8: do something called Monte Carlo analysis, which basically means, let's
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 8: figure out what kind of cash flow you're going to
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 8: need over the remaining decades of your life, and then
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 8: let's run it literally a thousand different times. And across
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 8: those thousand times. Is you know, the market takes a
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 8: hit upfront, the market takes a hit later in life,
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 8: somewhere in the middle, all those kinds of things, and
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 8: then the outcome of that is a batting average. How
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 8: many times out of a thousand do I make it
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 8: all the way to the end with at least a
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 8: dollar in the bank. That's called Monte Carlo analys and
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 8: it doesn't. There's nothing there has nothing to do with
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 8: guarantees or anything like that. We're not trying to bat
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 8: a thousand. We're just trying to understand how far in
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 8: our direction can we lean the odds by the tweaks
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 8: we are making.
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 2: Now, that's good and again another value having a financial planner,
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 2: and one that is, uh, it was a fiduciary obligation
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 2: to you. That is, not trying to sell you something
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 2: and not charging u a fee for their work, So
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 2: got that in for you, Brian. Now what about fixes
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 2: the Social Security? I mean, I've heard a million different
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 2: ones at income based eligibility maybe, I mean, I don't know.
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 2: There's a variety of different things extending social Security out
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 2: to later retirement time. People are living a lot older
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 2: than they used to be. I mean when it's first
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 2: started under FDR, how many workers did they have for
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 2: every recipient? It was like fifteen or twenty or something,
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 2: or we're down to single digits.
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah, the pressures here again, we've seen this train wreck
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 8: coming in slow motion as you reference, yeah, for decades now,
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 8: and it was simply because there were so many more workers,
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 8: you know, when we had the greatest generation, the Baby Boomers,
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 8: largest generations, all working at full tilt and generating money
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 8: into the system.
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: Where now we're on the.
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 8: Back end of that, where less is being earned. There
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 8: are smaller generations out there and less is being earned
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 8: by them on average, just because of the way the
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 8: demographics have worked out. And so there's just less money
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 8: flowing into the system. Now, there's a million ways we
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 8: can change this. We can raise taxes on workers, we
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 8: can cut benefits. It's really we either have to put
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 8: more money into the system or take less out. Now,
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 8: there's a million ways that can happen. You can make
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 8: people work longer. We've already done that. The sociecurity age
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 8: has moved forward. There were major reforms done in the eighties.
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 8: We also began payroll taxing or not pay wel. We
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 8: also began taxing social security benefits for those of you
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 8: don't know, you do indeed pay taxes on Social Security benefits.
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 8: And again we can change the ages that you're eligible,
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 8: all those kinds of things. I mean, I think truthfully,
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 8: the answer is going to have to be some combination
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 8: where everybody sacrifices something otherwise we're just gonna end up
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 8: with a generational war.
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 2: Well, it would be a fairness element along those lines.
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 2: Body had to tighten their belt a little bit. Then
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 2: you could at least sell it as a package that
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 2: everyone gets impacted, not just one group or another. Complicated, absolutely,
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 2: and the of the worst part about this, Brian has
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 2: come up now for the third time that we have
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 2: seen this problem unfold, and people have been ringing alarm
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 2: bells about it for so long, and yet nothing really
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 2: has been done by way of you know, a really
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 2: solid fix Yeah.
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 8: And I think the reason for that is because no
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 8: politician can stand up on their soapbox and promise to
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 8: give somebody something. This is all taking away by fixing this.
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 8: There's no there's no way that anybody benefits other than
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 8: the the Maybe we can maintain the status quo if
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 8: everybody sacrifices a little bit but nobody gains anything. So
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 8: that person is going to have to stand on their
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 8: soapbox and champion fixing social security by convincing three hundred
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 8: million people that they all need to sacrifice something that
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 8: will make them a sitting duck for their next election.
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe you need a lame duck president to advance
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 2: that agenda. That'd be nice that we have those every
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 2: few years. Nobody rings it up, Brian James. Hold on,
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about the sec You're gonna have to
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 2: explain this one to me. I admit my ignorance on
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 2: tokenized stocks and how that is a move toward blockchain.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 2: That's what we have, Brian James, or will continue just
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 2: a minute. Hang on fifty five KRC, the talk station
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 2: Doctor with all with financials, Brian James doing Money Monday,
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 2: and every time we start talking about bitcoin blockchain. I'm
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 2: just my eyes glaze over, Brian, I've had to explain
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 2: to me a million times, listen, how that's how, that's
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 2: how valuable a membership in mensa is. I can't even
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 2: understand blockchain, So, yeah, go ahead and make fun of
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 2: somebody who's got that, all right, It's just I know
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 2: it's a security thing, blockchain, and I understand it's it's
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 2: pretty darn good when it comes to security. But how
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 2: does this mix in with what we're talking about today,
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 2: the idea of tokenizing stocks as it relates to block
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 2: I actually.
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 1: Like this update.
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 8: So so I've done a decent amount of reading on
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 8: how this works, and I'm not an expert by any stretch,
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 8: but I do know a little bit, and then having
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 8: thirty years of being a financial planner.
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 1: It all kind of makes sense.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 2: That helps.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that does add a little bit.
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 8: So the basic core function of the blockchain, which everybody
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 8: associates with crypto, that's kind of where it came from.
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 8: It's one what underlies bitcoin, the entire Bitcoin network, and
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 8: really most of crypto nowadays. But the whole point of
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 8: it is it's just a record keeping structure where there
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 8: is a copy of the Ledger on every computer on
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 8: the face of the earth, and if you're gonna fake it,
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 8: then you have to manage to change every single copy
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 8: out there across the universe. That's what makes it secure.
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 8: Everybody sees the same information. It has to be changed
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 8: all over.
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 2: The place, so it's the ultimate transparency exactly.
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 1: And you can see these things.
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 8: You actually can look in and see what wallet owns,
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 8: how many bitcoin and all that other stuff, because it's
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 8: all publicly available.
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 1: So that's where the security comes from.
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 1: The reason we're talking.
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 8: About it today though the SEC has approved a plan
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 8: to tokenize US stocks. Now this has nothing to do with cryptocurrency.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 8: Stocks are not becoming crypto or anything like that. All
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 8: it is is that the Ledger program is being updated
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 8: technologically speaking, to make.
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 1: It more efficient. Now why this is important.
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 8: When I started this industry, settlement time for a stock
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 8: trade was something called T plus three, which means time
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 8: of trade plus three business days. If I sold something
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 8: on a Friday, my money wasn't going to be available
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 8: until the following Wednesday, three business days. Then it went
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 8: to T plus one in about twenty seventeen, and this
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 8: will hopefully make it almost instantaneous because of the way
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 8: the blockchain infrastructure works, so you could have access instant
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 8: access to your money. What this means is that if
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 8: you're calling me needing a distribution from your IRA or
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 8: your investment account, I might be able to send it
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 8: out the same day, oh, versus telling you wait until
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 8: tomorrow or maybe the next.
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 1: Day, you know, barring holidays and all that kind of stuff.
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 8: So I do think this is a good thing. I
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 8: just don't want people to get worried that stocks are
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 8: becoming crypto. That's not what's happening.
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, But I wrote down the word privacy when you
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 2: were talking about that. Because everybody in the world has
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 2: this blockchain, they know what's in the wallets. They can
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 2: they trace a particular wallet to a particular individual. Because
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 2: if that's the case, then they Tokenizing your stocks would
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 2: allow people to have a clear understan of what your
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 2: stock portfolio.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this is a little different.
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 8: I mean what I was referring to there is the original,
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 8: because remember bitcoin does not exist on a network. It's
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 8: just out in the universe, right, everybody can see it.
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 8: This is still going to be behind closed doors. It's
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 8: just allowing the big custodians to move things more quickly
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 8: because they're going to be synchronizing all of their ledgers
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 8: across the whole universe. But it doesn't mean that the
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 8: general public can see it. That is definitely a Bitcoin thing.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 8: It's not as private as you might. There's some great
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 8: books out there about how unprivate that actually is, really,
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 8: but that.
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 1: Is not what's happening here. I really want to stress.
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 8: That this is this is literally as big as you
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 8: know in the sixties and seventies when big brokers just
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 8: went from paper certificates to electronic and things got a
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 8: heck of a lot faster.
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 1: This is another iteration like that.
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 2: So I guess the ledger in this particular case is
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 2: everyone who has any interest in any given stock, So
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 2: they would all know what's been sold. I mean, because
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 2: there's a finite amount of shares available for any given
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 2: company that's traded, right, sure, everybody who's trading in that
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 2: particular stock on behalf of people, they would all know
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 2: real time what trades have happened and how much stock
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 2: is out there or how much has been withdrawn.
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well that's true, but that that's available anyway, I mean,
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 8: that's just trading data on a daily basis, so that
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 8: doesn't change things. And there's gonna be rules and that
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 8: this is they're building this out now. There will be
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 8: rules in place to say who owns what. But remember
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 8: these are publicly traded security so the information as to
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 8: who owns how much that's definitely out there. You've always
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 8: been able to find that stuff. You can see who
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 8: the you know, the major shareholders are in the perspectus
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 8: is you can look on websites and see who owns what.
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 8: That's what publicly traded means. So that part is not
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 8: really going to change.
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 2: All right. So just the speed with which we can
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 2: get access to the money that we've put away.
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 8: For sure, And again I do believe this is a
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 8: good thing. I know from my day to day and
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 8: our operational folks here at all worth it will be.
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 8: It will be helpful to reduce the amount of time
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 8: that we can promise somebody, Hey, your money's going to
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 8: be in your checking accounts so you can go pay
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 8: your bills.
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, if that's ultimately what we get out of it.
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 2: And there's not any pitfalls that I haven't created on
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 2: a whole cloth in my mind, for lack of understanding
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 2: on how this works, and they do have a decent
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 2: regulatory environment that actually makes sense in place. All right,
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 2: I'll go for that as a concept anyway, Brian, we'll
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 2: probably talk about it as we closer approach the launch
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 2: date of this happening. Right, I bet this will be
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 2: a topic in twenty six big time. And in twenty
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 2: six you and I'll be talking on Mondays again. I
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 2: pray we will. We will, indeed, wonderful Brian James, for
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 2: my entire listening audience, my family to yours, wonderful Merry
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 2: Christmas to you and all the folks over at all Worth.
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 2: I hope you enjoy the holiday season, and I wish
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 2: you in advance of happy New Year as well.
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 5: You as well.
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 8: I'm mery Christmas. Do all happy belated Hanikah and so
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 8: on and so forth. All that to all the families.
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 2: Take care of my friender it's Patty, Patty Scott Heart
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 2: for seniors. I love having her in the program. So
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 2: she just provides me with so much uplifting information and
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 2: really illustrates the value to me of the morning show,
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 2: allowing me the opportunity to provide some great information about
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 2: these wonderful charitable organizations out there trying to do right
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 2: by people, and as far as the senior community is concerned,
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 2: you're not going to find a better group of people
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 2: than Heart for Seniors Foundation, which you can find online
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 2: at Heart That I'm dot org five o' one c
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 2: three nonprofit. Thank you to the very very very wonderful
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 2: listening audience for the contributions you've made to the organization.
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 2: But also, and Patty's going to be talking about it,
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 2: the seniors out in the audience who've been able to
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 2: get the assistance they need by reaching out the Heart
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 2: for Seniors And apparently the response, Patty Scott, good to
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 2: see a response has been rather overwhelming.
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 6: Good to see, Brian. We love your listeners, we love Cincinnati,
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 6: we love Kentucky. I'll tell you what. You go from
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 6: north to south, and those followers are are near and
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 6: dear to our heart. The senior population is just ignored.
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's just it's sad. The resources are just scary,
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 6: especially for those of us that are Sandwich generation that
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 6: are taking care of our parents and still taking care
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 6: of our kids. So we just want to be there.
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 6: I got to tell you, it's been obviously our technology.
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 6: If you've got a parent or a neighbor that's incontinent,
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 6: if you have someone who has COPD or and justin
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 6: heart failure, we have the technology that can help. But
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 6: what has just been so overwhelming are the wounds.
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 1: The you mad.
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 2: You're the first person to make me aware that seniors
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 2: have problems with their skin. It gets so frail that
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 2: it tears. It's like so bad.
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 6: It's it's so bad, like they could just bump into
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 6: a wall and the skin breaks open, and then if
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 6: it's not caught or saved, it could be very very dangerous.
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, infections, infection.
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 6: And then the problem is is the bandages that are
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 6: out there now tear the skin even worse. So listen,
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 6: we are here, We will send samples, we have boxes.
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 6: We have people who continue to come back. They go
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 6: to the dermatologists, get stuff cut out, and then they
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 6: have bigger problems and issues. So listen. The holidays are
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 6: around the corner. If you haven't gotten your neighbor, your
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 6: loved one, your grandmother, your mother, your father, anything, call us.
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 6: Let us help you package the most beautiful gift ever
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 6: to give them, Give them the gift of skin, save
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 6: their skin. But more importantly, you know, we're so excited
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 6: we were able to get several organizations out Santa Shoe
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 6: Boxes to be able to get some home bound seniors.
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 6: If you know any homebound seniors, let us help you.
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 6: Let us get some something out there to help them.
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 6: But more importantly, we're here for a resource. We had
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 6: people last week who had parents and hospitals and they
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 6: didn't know what to do. They were they long term
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 6: care facilities. Do we send them here? Do we send
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 6: them there? Just call us.
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 2: You're our phone. And we're not just a technology, not
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 2: just a band aids. So it's not band it's bandied.
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 2: These are specifically designed skin tear related bandages, special design.
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 2: But you're more than that. You're a resource education dealing
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 2: with people who either in that position or you know
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 2: somebody one of the family members who's struggling with it.
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 2: What do I do? What do I do?
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 6: Yes, Yes, we'll help you be an advocate. Will help
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 6: you be an advocate to speak on behalf of your mother,
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 6: your father, and your neighbor. It's amazing. We've been talking
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 6: to a lot of firefighters recently. I can't tell you
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 6: how many, nine to one one calls they make out
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 6: to the homes strictly just because of cuts and tears,
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 6: and what's sad. This is what's sad. We talked to
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 6: the police chiefs and the fire chiefs. They have gauze tape,
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 6: they don't really have the actual skin tear mechanisms to
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 6: be able to put so, and that's a lot of
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 6: their calls. Or just somebody bumps into the wall and
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 6: something just breaks open. So I know, I know.
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 2: That's why. I mean, if you have the knowledge, like,
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 2: wait a second, there's a product out there that deals
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 2: with this, Yes, there is, Yes, Oh my god, we're
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 2: not gonna have this problem anymore. There you go. These bandages.
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 2: I've used the parallel before. It's like when you pull
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 2: a post it note off whatever it's stuck to, it
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 2: just comes right off. It sticks there all day until
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 2: you gently pull it off, and it doesn't have any problem.
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 2: No adhesive sticks to the wall it's hanging from. It
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 2: just tears right up. That's the way these bandages work
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 2: on senior skin. Yes, that delicate skin will not tear
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 2: when you pull the bandage off.
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 6: Correct. And for those families taking care of their loved
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 6: ones at home, you know, We know the burden, especially
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 6: when they're incontinent. Just the thought of your loved ones
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 6: sitting in their urn, in their feces, you know, and
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 6: for a long period of time that generates skin break down.
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 6: And we have the technology that can help you. We
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 6: have the technology that can it's alert response technology that
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 6: can help you while you're caring for your loved one
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 6: at home.
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the first technology that you brought to
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 2: light when you first came on the Morning Show. That
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 2: the monitor for the adult garments that send you an
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 2: alert to your smart device, both like in facilities where
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 2: they're taking care of seniors. Yes, it goes to the
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 2: nursing station. They know who has soiled themselves and who doesn't.
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 2: So the schedule isn't a schedule. It's more dealing with
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 2: the problem on an as needed, immediate basis. It just
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 2: it's a well oiled machine.
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 6: It is. And we're excited in twenty twenty six thanks
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 6: to your donations, and we can tell you to need
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 6: the donations. One of the things we heard back from
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 6: your listeners are fall risks. Falls are scary.
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 2: All right, well'll tell you what since it Tate forty
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 2: five will pause and we'll talk about the new technology
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 2: to deal with falls as well as the upcoming advancement
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 2: or enlargement of the wrist wearables. You folks out there
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 2: with Apple watches come in your directions, so you don't
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 2: need to even buy a new piece of equipment to
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 2: get this wonderful technology. Heart Number four Seniors. There's a
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 2: little donate button up there. I've used that before. You
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 2: too can provide some help for this wonderful organization so
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 2: it can achieve these noble, noble objectives. More with Patty
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 2: Scott just pause from Romide.
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 6: Right back fifty five KRC Drowning an IRS debt if
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 6: you can't.
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 2: Afford eight forty nine. Happy Monday made happier because Patty
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 2: Scott from Heart for Seniors in the studio and just love, love,
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 2: love what they are doing for the senior community out there.
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 2: Whether you're in an assisted living facility or you were
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 2: at home getting care from a loved one, they're trying
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 2: to make your life a lot easier. And so we've
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 2: talked about the bandages. They come off, they work great.
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 2: I was thinking about your comment about emergency medical services.
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 2: They use regular gauze and just so they have the problem.
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 2: They're creating the tear problem by attending to the wound.
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 2: If there's an EMS person out in the listening audiences,
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 2: wait a second, how come we don't have that they
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 2: what do they do? I mean you're talking about a municipality,
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 2: a township EMS. That's a funding question. You know, they
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 2: need the resources to get the bandages to avoid all
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 2: these problems that they're creating using the old school methodology.
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 6: Call us. We can help them, we can direct them,
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 6: we can get them exactly what they need, and ironically
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 6: what we have is less expensive than what they're currently buying.
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 7: We have.
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 2: Do this for seniors and for the municipal tack pair.
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 2: It's the right thing to do. Hard number four seniors
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 2: dot orgs where you find them. Is there a phone
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 2: ever you want to give out?
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 6: I mean yeah, five, three four four four. Twenty thirteen,
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 6: Please call us. Let us be a resource for you.
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 6: Let us get samples out to your neighbor, let us
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 6: get the technology. I get to tell you we have
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 6: exciting things coming for twenty twenty six. Thanks to your donations,
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 6: we add a lot of your listeners. Tell us that
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 6: outside of incontinence, outside of COPD, outside of congestive heart
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 6: failure outside of skin tear. One of the biggest concerns
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 6: and fears they have are false.
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, the statistics are insane with broken hips.
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 6: Falls and UTIs and UTIs too. Yeah, UTIs can go
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 6: so bad, so quick. So we have some really cool
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 6: technology that we're hoping by first quarter we'll be able
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 6: to release on the existing technology that can alert us
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 6: alert response technology to potential false.
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 2: All right, so currently your alert response technology alerts the
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 2: blood pressure.
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 6: So currently we can do incontinence, which is moisture or
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 6: bowel movement, or if some but he doesn't have moisture,
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 6: it could potentially mean they're dehydrated, or if they haven't
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 6: had a bow movement, that's really severe and could potentially
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 6: alert to a fecal impaction, which is boo related and
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 6: not good. On the wrist, we can do heart rate
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 6: pulse socks, which is major and we are testing a
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 6: real blood pressure, so we'll see where that goes. We
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 6: don't like to release anything until it's tested and really confirmed, right,
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 6: but that's something that obviously is near your and temperature
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 6: right temperature can alert to UTIs, pneumonia, things like that
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 6: ahead of time.
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, spy contemperature red flag in pretty much all cases.
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 2: And that is the wrist wearable that you're currently.
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 6: As well as the incontinent smart breath.
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 2: Then you sell those on the heart for Seniors dot org.
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 6: Or donate them, or donate donate them. I mean everything
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 6: that comes in is a donation. Everything is a donation.
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 6: So we can get it out too, friends, families, doesn't matter.
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 6: It's all five on one C three donations.
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 2: Wonderful. So you've got though an even larger technological development
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 2: coming and I'm really excited about this one, and I
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 2: really hope it works out because you know, in your
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 2: particular case, no big deal given what you get in
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 2: return for purchasing the or or getting or receiving a
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 2: donation of the wrist wearable. It's your wrist wearable. It's
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 2: not Apples. But you know, dang that technology has to
• 2:13:24
  Speaker 2: exist an Apple, can you expand it to gather the
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 2: information that you want, pul sox, heart rate, et cetera.
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 2: Is it coming? So?
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 6: So for us it was about accuracy. We know ours
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 6: is accurate. The watches that were we had a lot
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 6: of people ask about the Iway. The problem with it.
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 6: It wasn't accurate with this new eleven that has come out,
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 6: we've been able to partner with them and we're doing
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 6: some testing by being able to put our actual alert
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 6: response technology ecosystem onto the actual watch itself.
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 2: Like an app loading an app.
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 6: You get your start sort of kind of. Yeah, hey, listen, I'm.
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 2: Boiling it down. It boiling it down to Thomas understandable. Yeah,
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 2: sort of.
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 6: And so so far, based on the new technology that
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 6: they have, we have shown some very good signs.
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 2: Oh wonderful that it's.
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 6: Working, and we're hoping by January we can have that available.
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 6: So if somebody doesn't want to use our technology, but
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 6: they have a current up to date has to be
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 6: a special one of the elevens AR alert response technology
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 6: would work on that. Okay, and you are, We're so excited.
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 6: Let me know we will. We will because with that
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 6: comes a whole slew of some other really cool things
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 6: from sleep to falls, to a whole lot of other
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 6: things that we can incorporate.
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the whole fall thing is just that just wigs
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 2: me out.
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 6: It's just so crazy.
