  Speaker 1: I'm Brian Thomas, host of the fifty five r Morning
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Shoe and a very happy father. I've got a son
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: in law now. Thanks to everybody who prayed for good weather.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: The weather wedding went great, except for the humidity. I
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: could deal with the humidity. Just didn't want it poured
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: down rain of my daughter's wedding, and it didn't. So
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: many people out there can promised me that they were
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: going to pray for good weather. Power of prayer pulled
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: through and at worked. God bless each and every one
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: of you. What a wonderful, wonderful, happy day for all.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: So that's out of my system and welcome to the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Morning Show. Happy Monday to you, of course, it being Monday.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Coming up at seven to twenty. Christopher Smithmen, former Vice
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: mayor of the City of Cincinnati, doing what we call
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: here in the Morning Show, the Smith Event, as we
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: do every Monday seven twenty for that eight oh five,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Fast forward to Brian James Monday Monday every week from
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: all all Worth Financials. Brian James Today Oil back up
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: as fighting continues, HM, hey, Joe, could you check and
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: see if the straight offor moves is open or close?
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Right now? I thought we had a memorandum of understanding.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Apparently nobody understands what it means. I'm kind of at
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a loss. And what can we do? Just ponder that
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: one in the back of your head. What can we
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: do that we didn't already do? We were already there,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: All the ships were in place, all the military hardware
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: was in place. Everything was ready to go full on
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know, world War three on Iran. Donald Trump
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: kept threatening it We're gonna bomb you out of existence,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and we heard that kind of over the weekend as well.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know, given the current stature of the state
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: of things, if we could even do that. I mean,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: they're talking about having to use budget reconciliation in order
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to cover the cost of what we bombed so far
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: eighty eight million or billion dollars, and they don't have
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: enough votes to get it through in regular order, so
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: budget reconciliation to get the money that we've already expended.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: What about our depleted munitions? Keep hearing about that running
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: out of rockets and drones and hardware, and how do
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you maintain a war fight a war without that? And
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the nature of warfare? Oh my, ward, has it changed?
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: And with the your onions really struggling, and it's still
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: claiming that you know, this memorandum understanding, and whatever the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: hell we've done with them has no impact whatsoever on
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: their future nuclear desires. In other words, even building a
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: bomb in a world of drone warfare, where large navies
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: like the one we have can't keep a small twenty
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: mile with straight open because of drones and these sophisticated
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: yet very inexpensive pieces of military hardware, do you even
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: need a bomb these days? And you got to be
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: crazy to use one. I understand the United States the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: only country ever drop a bomb in wartime. Nobody's done
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: it since world's filled with nuclear weapons. You know, darn well,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: we could have bombed the Iranians into the well back
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: into the fifth century. If we just drop nukes on
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants to do that. International community would be outraged,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: sanctions would be levied, people wouldn't want to do business
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: with the evil United States of America. The murderers, the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: people who committed genocide. You can hear it all day long,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: but you can wage a successful warfare against a very
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: large military. If you have these little pesky drones and
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: other modern implements of warfare, it's pretty amazing, isn't it.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And many are talking about the idea of Taiwan being
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: able to defend itself. I saw this the other day.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: It goes back to some reporting a year or so
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: ago by a friend of mine who just recently retired
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: from the CIA. Brought it to my attention. I think
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: it was referred to hellscape. The idea of thousands and
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: thousands of drones going out and interfering with whatever landing
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the Chinese might do in connection with Taiwan. He thinks
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: sort of like, is this going to be a D
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Day invasion? Ships will leave the coast of China and
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: head straight for Taiwan, and of course Taiwan have an
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: option to do some to respond militarily well with drone warfare.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: The idea of sending thousands and thousands of bomb drones
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: out toward these ships approaching Taiwan could go a long
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: way to defending Taiwan against the imminent threat posed by
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: a D Day like landing from the Chinese. And it could,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: so you know, this is the kind of thing the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Chinese are wrestling with and thinking about. Of course Taiwan's
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: thinking about and wrestling with it as well. Look at
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: how long Ukraine has been able to fight off the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Russian Empire with the second biggest military in the world
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: of the third anyway, a massive military even asked Daniel
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Davis last week about that during a deep dive, did
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you ever think that we would be in five years
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: with Russia, the mighty Russian bear, fighting against Ukraine, who's
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: been fighting pretty much on its own, granted with supplies
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of military hardware from various countries around the globe, but
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: they've been able to do some serious harm to the Russians.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: The Russians have been made. You made a lot of advances,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: but nowhere near what people expected. They've got nukes, don't
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: they of course they don't use them. Why would you
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: so crazy world we find ourselves in these days. But yeah,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: it's on again, off again with the situation and the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: closure of straight or hor move's open clothes, it just
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: seems to be an ever moving target. So tomorrow's the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: day they're supposed to sit back down and start meeting.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: But going over the fundamental terms, Memoran of understanding, because
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I guess nobody really well, nobody acknowledges they understand what
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: it means. And the terms were so kind of nebulous
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: to start with, most notably the incorporation of Lebanon in there,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and the fact that the Israelis and the Lebanese weren't
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: even signatories to the agreement, and yet the Iranians using
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Lebanon and any activity in military fighting going on between
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Israel and Lebanon as a means to justify blowing up
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: a ship. Well, the ship that they originally blew up
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: last week was going through the Oman side of the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Straits of Hormuz. The Iranians demand that that goes through
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the little point that runs along the Iranian side, so
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: they can well, of course keep track of it, figure
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: out what ships are coming through, get the advanced approval
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: from the Iranians before it goes through, and of course
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: ultimately exact a toll. Don't do that, you're gonna get
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: blown up. That's the Iranians position right now, because that's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: what they made clear last week on Thursday when they
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: blew up an oil tanker, And of course we respond
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: by blowing up targets along the Ruanian coast Tit for
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Tat along with some additional threats from Donald Trump. And
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: then those threats are they really backed up by anything
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: that we can possibly do? And I'm just asking, you know,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: because I really don't know. I mean the state of
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the situation to me, and I keep going back to
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the idea that the biggest navy and that the blank
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: and planet couldn't keep the Straight of hornor Moves open. Yes,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: we got some boats through, I understand some, but the
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Iranians were able to keep effectively keep most of it
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: shut down fear by the owners of the boats, fear
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: by the insurance companies refusing to ensure boats that go
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: through it. They're not going to move effectively shutting down
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the straight So the Runians have that power, and of
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: course last week demonstrated that they can still blow up
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: boats trying to make it through the Straight of Horn
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Moves without their permission. So how long can we deal
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: with this Tit for Tat? Or is this the way
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: it's going to be? The Iranians make a blow up
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: a boat because they're angry over some nebulous provision and
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: a memorandum of understanding when we haven't even gotten closed
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to started talking, starting to talk about the nuclear program there.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: What's next? Donald Trump says, the Iranian existence is threatened.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: What does that mean? I just really would love to know.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: And again going back to we kind of and maybe
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the motivation for Trump is the midterm elections. Maybe something
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: we're talking about with Brian James coming up about oil
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: going back up as the fighting continues, the on again
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: off again closure of the strait obviously causing problems with
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: our economy, the global economy. Criticism to Donald Trump because well,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: if it wasn't for him to bombing the Iranians, we
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: never would be dealing with Ford dollar or whatever gasoline,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: you know the argument. But if you throw out the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: midterms as one of the reasons why we might want
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: to perhaps be a little bit more friendlier to the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Iranians than we that than you know, going the bombing route,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the idea that we want to settle the crisis before
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the midterm elections, take out the midterms, and then decide
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: what can we do against the Iranians. Practically speaking, this
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: would involve a discussion about boots on the grounds, hitting
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: more and more military targets. With the dwindling hardware that
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: apparently we have the problem we have on our hands,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the idea that this isn't the only conflict that the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: United States might be dealing with. Elsewhere in the world
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: there are problems and you know, concerns and oh my god,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: like the Chinese are they going to invade Taiwan? If so,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: what are we going to do about it? Is there
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: any obligation for us to do anything about it in
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the first place? Just swirling issues. But when push comes
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: to shove, if the Iranians can and apparently they we can,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: close the straight off our moves on a whim, what
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: ultimately are we going to do about it? What ultimately
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: can we do about it? And sadly, I don't know
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: that I have the answer to that question, because militarily speaking,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: it doesn't appear that we are able to meet the challenge.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: And isn't that strange When we have I think, more
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: nukes than anybody else in the world, they're not usable,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: it seems in the times in which we live, which
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I honestly, isn't that a good thing? The only problem
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: is you can't get the commitment from the rest of
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the world that we are all going to follow this
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: moral path and not use nuclear weapons. And there lies
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the challenge with your audience, because everybody seems to believe
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: that the minute there get their hands on a nuclear weapon,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: they're going to blow up Israel. Would they? Nobody knows,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: but cooler heads around the world, the Chinese, the Russians,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: and all the other countries, the growing number I might
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: point out, including North Korea, have kept their finger off
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the button since World War Two? Is anybody going to
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: hit it? Legitimate question to ask, And if the answer
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: ultimately is no, and I know we'll never know the
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: answer to that question, I guess the only note we
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: all know the answer to that question is if the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Irodians do get their nuclear weapon and then don't use it.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: But if we could get that rest of the world
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: to commit to an idea that we're never going to
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: launch a bomb because it is literally genocide. You kill
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: so many people who have nothing to do with anything
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: other than trying to live their lives day to day.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Can anybody swallow that anymore in these modern times? Maybe?
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: But if we all agreed that that would never happen again,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: then I suppose no one would care whether anybody had
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: a nuke or not, because they're their boat and they're
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: not going to be used. The international community would turn
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: against any nation that used one, depriving it of well.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I suppose literally everything cutting off an economic lifeline that
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: we seem to be well, all existing on this globalized
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: world we live in. Anyhow, you got a I'd love
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: to hear from. You got something to say? Five one three, seven,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two three
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: talk tooun FI fifty on AT and T phones. Don't
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: go away. We've got plenty more to coming up in
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: this hour, including the stack of stupid bottom of our news. Oh,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: looks violence all over the city in the news. Did
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Bobby get the over and Underwright? That's a question we
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: need answer. Don't go away, right back, Happy Monday, to
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: try to make it so, anybody, five one three two
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: three talk Yeah. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in regard
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: to this nuclear situation, just yesterday article no choice but
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: to build the atomic bomb. They say Ron must negotiate
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: with its enemies from position of strength, and that you
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: need a nuclear bomb to even have a position of
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: strength quote. To achieve the peace and calm that Iran needs,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: it must absolutely reach nuclear de terms to ensure that
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the rest of the issues can be resolved through negotiation.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: And they noted back to the nineteen seventies with the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Chinese and the United States America threat in China with
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: nuclear attack twice, similar to Trump's recent nuclear threats against Iran.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know that he made those anyway, But when
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: did Kissinger secretly meet with the Chinese and then negotiate
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: question mark when China built the first atomic bomb. That's
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: what they concert in the article of the Iranians. And
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: they went on to say, this nuclear deterrence means that
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: you can reach a balance of power against America and Israel,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: who possesses atomic bombs. Not here's the point here, not
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: so that war does not happen, but so that the
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: scope of conflict remains controllable. In other words, we're not
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: gonna get involved in nuclear war. We're just gonna go
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: at each other with conventional weapons. AR fifteens, F sixteen jets,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: have thirty five fighters, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, bombs,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: all of which even giant two thousand pound bunk or
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: buster bombs, as long as they don't have nukes in them.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: That's where we're going to go. Controllable scope of conflict,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: do you amster, Gary. Welcome to the show, and happy
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Monday to you, sir. Thanks for calling in.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Hey, Brian, I'm glad you had a great wetting.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: It's really truly a blessing to watch your children go.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: It was awesome, man, you know, and I didn't think
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I was going to have an emotional breakdown because I
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: was feeling so happy, just in a good mood. The
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: next logical step for their relationship. And yeah, I did
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: struggle with a few tears there for a while walking
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: her down the aisle and then when we had the
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: father daughter dance after the ceremony, But beyond that, man,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: it was nothing but smiles in great time. So thank
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: you very much. We really were blessed.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: That's great, fantastic. I think one thing that you're not
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: taking into account, I think it's really important.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Please.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: It was unlike the Chinese, or somewhat like the Chinese,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: but unlike the Rut and the Chinese, these people are
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: not ideologically driven by a religion that asked to wash
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: the world in blood. Because there's a bunch of twelve
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: steppers and if we look at the And if you
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: don't know what a twelve stepper is, try Islam for Dummies.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Or there's several great books that were written, but they're
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: on Amazon. I can't remember his name, but I read
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch of books about Islam their ideology, and
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: one of the thing is is they're waiting for the
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: twelfth Madi to walk out or to climb out of
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: the well. And in the meantime, their job is to
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: wash the world of blood of imbeciles or infidelscadels. The
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: infidels they look at us, you know, when they're screaming
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: death the Big Satan, and death the Little Satan. And
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: we look how many times we've been attacked by the
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: religion of Islam. Yes, I have no doubt, without a doubt,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: that have to go to war or wholeheartedly to set
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: an example like we did with Tokyo in Japan, and
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: we have to bomb into submission. And I don't care
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: what the world thinks of us, because it's between us
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: and them.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Well, and I appreciate where that position comes from. That
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: is what many people expect. Again, when you're throwing religion
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: into an equation that usually is just dealing with logic
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: and reason. Then you can throw logic and reason out
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the window. Guys, you're not stepping in the shoes of
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: the religious fundamentalists who truly believes that their entire existence
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: and the afterlife depends upon the eradication in the United States.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: From the face of the globe. That sounds like someone
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: who be willing to use the nuclear weapon in the
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: face of that argument that they will if they get
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: the chance, which is not definitively proven because we don't
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: know that they will use it until they get one,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: do you go ahead and affirmatively launch an all out war,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: presumably including nuclear weapons, dropped on Iran in order to
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: prevent that possibility from coming about. That seems to be
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the position we've been stuck in with Iranians who've been
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: trying to get a bomb for the last twenty years.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: You have to take people based on their actions, based
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: on their past president In World War Two, we did
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: not stop, and we were willing to lose people, and
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: we did not stop until we made them come aboard
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: the battleship and sign an instrument of surrender. That's what
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: it's going to take in order to get this to stop.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Either that or we're going to be prepared for more immigration.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Our own leaders are going to turn against us, and
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: that they're going to continue. I mean, we can. Look,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: we've already lost.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: New York, and we've lost several other Illinois and several
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: other states from Islam, and they're trying to take over
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Texas right now. I'm talking as a religion, not as
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: a state body, Okay.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: But prostilytize, you know. I mean, you know, we live
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: in a country with free exercise of religion. You can
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: join any religion you want. And I always like to
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: point out, may we don't live in a theocracy, Thank
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: god we don't. So yeah, I understand that the Muslim
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: population is growing and that's a threat perhaps to Christians,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: But maybe Christians need to go out and spread their
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: message a little bit more and quit allowing the mainstream
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: media in Hollywood and everybody else to demonize them and
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: ridicule them and make fun of them to the point
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: where people are no longer feeling like they want to
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: be Christian. This has been going on forever. Man, that's
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: a wharf over the hearts and minds of people. But yeah,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, we can get a handle on immigration, obviously,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump's been proven that I don't understand the leftist
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: shift in this country, and I'm not willing to read
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: in too much to it yet, because people don't vote
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: in primaries unless they're motivated. Going back to motivations, hmmm,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: how is it that those socialists got elected? Look at
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: the voter turnout. Nobody bothered to show up except the
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: crazy communists who are all getting with excitement that their
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: messages maybe infiltrating the general broader community here in the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: United States of America. Yeah, you gotta go vote, people.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: And I say this to my Democrat friends. If you
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: guys are a little concerned about this shift of your
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: party over to full on communists, you should be get
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: off your button, go vote in November, or vote in
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the primaries, as the case may be. Garry, I appreciate it, man,

  Speaker 1: craziness going on in the world, I'm overall pretty happy, man,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: given the given how well things worked out over the weekend.
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: Tom, Thanks, I'm glad things worked out for you. I
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: was actually I was downtown Saturday and Sunday. Kind of weird,
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: but yes, yesterday I'm downtown and I'm at the Hilton
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: Netherlands Plaza. Yeah, and I run into a guy in
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: the lobby. I'm talking to him. He had just his
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: daughter had just gotten married the day before, and in
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: the hall of mirrors. So I'm defining he.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Dropped a couple of dollars, Just a couple, man. I
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: could give you the bill for a big tent and
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: some folding chairs for a farm week outdoor wedding weekend. Man,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: And wow, the cost that up?
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah they do?
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it adds up. But it's you know, you're
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: you know, it's that's your only daughter, right, that is correct,
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: you know, you know you're I mean, I'm kind of
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: thankful I only had one. So she she's she's quite
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: a she's quite the character, and I'm glad I only
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: had one to go through that with. But it was
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: it was definitely a joyful event, as I'm sure yours was.
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: It was, so it was, it was great. So and
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: and hopefully that's it. Right, that's it. We're done.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: You're done, right, You're done, at least as fir as
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: tradition is concerned. So I if my son decides he's
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: found someone that he wants to marry, I don't believe
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: that we're gonna have to get involved in the or
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: my wife is gonna have to get involved to the
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: extent she was in this one. We'll see, right, yeah,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: we'll see.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: As for the as for the world events, these uh,
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: these people, you know, sometimes you just have to take
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: people at their word. They keep saying the same stuff
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: over and over and over again, and they keep doing
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: things the back of the Uh. You know, we're and
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: we're trying to be moral, we're trying to look like
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: we're giving everybody the benefit of the doubt, and we're
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: trying to give people a chance to be peaceful. That's
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: that's kind of laughable. That's statement. You just read that
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: they want to have peace. Nobody's messing with you. You're
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: messing with everybody around you. What do you mean you
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: want to have peace? You don't want peace? You you
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: you want to you're going around the world and terrorizing
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: people and doing all kinds of crape. Well, I mean,
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: that's that's a flat out lie. They don't want they
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: don't want to live in peace.
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: They want to make people do certain things that maybe
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: they don't want to do. They want to force people
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: to believe things that they don't want to believe. And
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: that's not that's not peace.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Well, and they use it.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: They use the existence of Israel, which wasn't there prior
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: to what nineteen forty seven, as the basis for their
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: They're they're engaging in warfare over there all the time.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, and they make a moral justification because they
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: do believe the existence of Israel is im moral period,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: end of story. They're anti Semitic period ending story on
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: that one. It's but a lot of people are buying
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: into that, you know, is isn't it the truth that
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: their justification has been embraced by even politicians here in
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: the United States. Yeah, those crazy camas terras are right.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: In other words, Iran is right to fund them to
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: wreak havoc on the Israeli people.
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's it's crazy. And you're in a tough
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: position when you're fighting against that because you're trying to
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: use some moral restraint. And I have to agree with
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: I have to agree with Jerry. I mean, you just
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: it comes to a point where okay, that's enough and
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: you just just got a squish. But how do you
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: do that though, that's without without looking like the without
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: looking like the big bully in the world. You know,
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: I don't know. It's it's it's not a it's not
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: an easy position exactly.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: That's and it is from that point of frustration. I
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: started the show this morning because you know, I would
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: love to have easy solutions. Of easy solutions exist to this,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: we have already used them. Warfare apparently isn't a solution.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, and if we were able to open the
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: straight of horor moves and keep boats from getting blown
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: up don't you think we would have done that already,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: a non nuclear solution to the problem that apparently doesn't
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: lie in our hands. Okay, if you can't open the
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: straight of horror moves with America's navy, then what do
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: you do?
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: You're trying to be moral and sensible and reasonable with
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: people who are not moral and sensible and reasonable. And
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: just another reason why I say don't vote Democrats.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Have a great day, You do the same, Tom, Thanks
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: again for the kind words. It is five point thirty seven.
• 24:31

• 29:57
  Speaker 1: definitely anyway go to the status stupid. Don't be this guy.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Uh feeling the heat after he hit a subway worker
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: in the face because his sandwich bread was stale. Ex
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: convict he is Roy McIntosh, forty three years old, pled
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: guilty for attacking the teenage subway victim cop to a
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: misdemeanor battery charge it connection with the April incident the
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: subway down in Florida Wildwood, Florida, specifically keeping track Anyway.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: McIntosh sends by the Circuit Court to a year's probation,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: eight hundred and sixty dollars fine, and twenty hours of
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: community service, as well as the completion of an anger
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: management course. Also ordered to have no contact with the
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: victim and never returned to subways in Sumter County. That's
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: where he lives anyway. Accord to the rest report, witnesses
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: said that Macintosh was visibly upset about the hardness of
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: the bread that was used for his sam raising. Following
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: a brief verbal interaction with the clerk, eighteen year old
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Jacob Vallejoe, Macintosh struck him across the left side of
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: his face with an open hand, gave him a beet
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: slap there, Joe. They do have surveillance video shocking six
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: to two hundred and forty pound Macintosh hitting vallet Ho, who
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: immediately stepped backward in an apparent shock. Officers showed up
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: to the subway, examined Vallejo and observed a visible redness
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: and slight swelling to the side of the kid's face.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Macintosh confronted my cops. He admitted to hitting Vallejo, claimed
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: that the sandwich artisan intentionally gave him old, stale bread
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: on a sandwich that he bought a week earlier. I
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: don't know how he arrived at that conclusion. Clearly not
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: happy with the brad anyway, McIntosh edited it. When he
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: complained to the subway employee, he just began to laugh,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: which caused him to strike the victim. Just walk away.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: You know, if people listening to each other would be
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: no stack as stupid, the world would be a more
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: harmonious place. There'll be fewer people in prison. Such a
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: simple solution to a complex world, isn't it anyway. His
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: prior criminal history includes convictions for carrying a concealed firearm
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: possession would intent to distribute exis ecstasy, and possession of
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: a firearm during the commission of a felony. He spent
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: a total of about four years in prison for those offenses. Yeah, okay,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: we go to Louisville, Kentucky, where a Louisville Metro Arson
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Bureau investigators arrested Kayla Beehler after a fire department building
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: in Louisville. Fire reported at about five pm June twenty fourth.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Investigators say Beeler set the fire inside an occupied apartment,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: causing about twenty thousand dollars in damage. Cord to the citation,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: The victim, described as Bieler's domestic partner, Uh oh, keep
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: your finger on the switch there. Joe told her to leave,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Port said. Bieler then threatened to burn the apartment down
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: just walk away. Not long after, the victim noticed smoking
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: flames coming fairly from the area where she was last seen.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm laughing at this. Obviously, this could have
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: been tragic building as five apartments. Officials said that seven
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: people inside at the time. Victim tried to pull the
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: fire out, but the firefighters were called in to take
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: care of it. Police later found Bieler a short distance
• 33:20

• 33:33
  Speaker 7: Do what the hell you know?
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: I've been in relationships for it? I gotta go a
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: long way back. His wife and I just settle thirty
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: five years of marriage on Friday, but again, a lot
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: longer than that. But I'm not old enough that I've
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: forgotten breakups and prior relationships, and you know they sucked.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Did anybody ever have the idea of burning something down
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: because someone wanted to break up with you? Where the
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: hell does that attitude come from? God Almighty Joe? Are
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: we gonna take that caller? Oh? I thought the other one?
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: All right? Joe? Still screening. Finally we'll end in Pueblo, Colorado,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: where charges has been fought against a pair of Colorado
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Colorado mortuary owners. Mortuary owners Spin it Out Thomas accused
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: of mishandling the remains of at least two dozen deceased individuals.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Colorado Bureau of Investigation of the tenth Judicial District Attorney's
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Office charged Brian Lee Cotter and Christopher Aaroncotter, owners of
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Davis Mortuary. Brian Cottter, the former Pueblo County Corner, his
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: brother Christopher, and he purchased the mortuary in nineteen eighty nine.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Last August, inspectors from the Office of Funeral and Mortuary
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Science Services they have one found twenty four decomposing bodies
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: hidden in the mortar. District Office Attorney's office said nineteen
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: bodies have been identified. Previously, law enforcement was attempting to
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: have all bodies identified before the charges were filed. Fisher
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: said they used all available technology to identify the bodies.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Alongside the four remains, law enforcement officers they were working
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: to identify many many cremines as well as bones. I
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: suppose that's the cremated remains anyway. Two men each being
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: held in a million dollar bond facing one hundred and
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: twenty five counts of abuse of corpse, nine counts of forgery,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: more than twenty five theft charges. They say the theft
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: stems from allegations that the Davis Mortuary failed to properly
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: deposit required funds into trust accounts. They said it's fair
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: to conclude there are one hundred and twenty five total victims.
• 35:46

• 37:01
  Speaker 1: the Morning Show.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Happy holidays, my brother.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Bobby, it says Bob. On the costume. Joe normally puts
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: up Bobby, so I knew exactly what it is and congratulated, well,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: not congratulations, the over and under. It looks like it
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: was over.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Always go over, my friend, you wait for this week.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Oh no, it's.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Gonna be hot, sticky, and I tell you what. It's
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: just like the Wizard of Oz. They kept saying all
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: the time, except the words that's came shooting, stabbings, beat downs,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Oh my, it's coming.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: And in celebration of America's twohundred and fiftieth on top
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: of Bobby, which makes it all the more heartbreaking.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: It is heartbreaking, my friends, and I told people the
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: other day, I said, I'm the luckiest person in the world.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: I had a two and a half percent chance of
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: being born in this great country. And I tell you you,
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: look around and people aren't happy with their surroundings. They
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: just need to get happy because you're in the greatest
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: country in the world. My friend.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Maybe they need to do what the Europeans do or
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: have done. They've come here to follow the World Cup
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: soccer games and realize that America isn't the place that
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: the media has painted it to be around the globe,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: We in fact are friendly people. We have all the
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: stuff and things that they do not have or enjoy.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Portions are a little bit too big here, but beyond that,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: we have air conditioning. They've been deprived air conditioning because well,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: carbon dioxide. I mean, they find out that we're decent
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: people and it's great here and we not having apparently
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: seen the rest of the world or fully appreciative of
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: the fact that everyone around the globe has endeavored for
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: the past couple of twenty plus years that come to
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: the United States, legal or illegal, because it sucks where
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: they live. We need to experience what suck is. So
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: all those little socialists and communists out there voting for
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: the likes of the communiess in New York or California
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: or Illinois, wherever the hell they are. Go away, go
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: experience life in Venezuela or some other country. God to Cubans,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: see how it's like, Well, that's the f out of
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: the United States. Covinmbargo is. No, it's not immunism that
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: sucks on it. We could go on and on, Bobby.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: They just better hope that the power doesn't go out
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: for seventy two hours in the great city of Cincinnati.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: They'll be on the streets like kicking an hill.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: You may be right, Bobby, So what's your advice? Stay indoors, No.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Get out and enjoy yourself. Let me tell you something.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Don't let these thugs tell you where you're going to
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: go and what you're going to do. It's just it's
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: don't worry about it. Enjoyed life. You're in the greatest
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: country in the world. We've got a week of celebration
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: going on here.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: These people can't conduct themselves in an orderly manner, you know.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: That's what you know, that's what we do all the time.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: We carry to protect ourselves and our families.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: That's correct. You go, and you know what, that's the
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: ole say that the European Union is finding out, or
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: all the all the folks from around the four corners
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: beyond the European Union. Of course, everybody who came here
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: for soccer, you know they're finding out. Wait a second,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: I thought, because I've been told time and time again
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: in America is just one big, massive gunfight, and if
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I walk outside, I'm going to be a victim of
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: a dry by shooting or a victim of crime. On
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: some leg they find out. You know what, No, that's
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: not the case. You know what's responsible for that mindset.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: It is the Internet because every time something crazy like
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: an idiot slapping a subway worker because of stale bread happens,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: it's reported as if it happens every single day and
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: every subway restaurant around this country. Nope, it's an isolated incident.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: They all are ultimately isolated incidents. And in fact, I
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: saw this fun figure. Because Europe is waking up to
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: the reality that we have air conditioning everywhere and it's awesome,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: and they've been deprived of it. We find out more
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: people die in the European Union from heat because they
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: don't have air conditioning. Then people die of gun violence
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: here in the United States of America annually.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Amazing that I got one more saying, and it won't
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: take a second. A simple thank you can't express our
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: true feelings of appreciation. My friends, you're carrying it torture,
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: freedom high and bright every day. I appreciate it about it.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it, Bobby, and I appreciate the cold water.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Does the reality? Get out, enjoy yourself, celebrate America's two
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: hundred and fiftieth anniversary, the birth of a nation that
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: has really led the world in and illustrated to the
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: rest of the world what it's like and what can
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: be accomplished when you live in a free society. Freedom.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: That's what makes this country great and not just another word.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: Let me rely on the words of Andy Kessler. Freedom
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: isn't just another word. We often take liberty for granted,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: but it is a prerequisite for everything great. He run
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: in the Wall Street Journal. Janis Joblin sang in nineteen
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: seventy one, Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Blues rock song supposed to be sad but was this
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: one ever wrong? The semiquincentennial hope of peaking this week.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: I'd rather think that freedom is an emptiness, but the
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: seed of all greatness, another word for everything to gain. Oddly,
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: the word freedom isn't even the declaration of independence and
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: liberty only once in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: That phrase lifted from philosopher John Locke's natural rights of life, liberty,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: and property. Freedom and liberty, especially today, are often taken
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: for granted. You don't know what you've got until it's gone.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: But here's where it gets tricky. How much freedom. Locke's
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: individual freedom governed by the law of reason basically, don't
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: harm others, you have rights, don't step on mind. Very libertarian,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: and as Andy points out, that almost seems quaint now.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Thomas Hobbes, at the other extreme, warned about without laws,
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: we get the state of nature or anarchy. My sense,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: the true freedom comes from being able to make our
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: own rules. Took a revolution to put that into practice.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Christopher Gadsden's coiled Rattlesnake Don't tut on Me flag from
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: seventeen to seventy five symbolize that fight for freedom. Don't
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: tell me what to do.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: Amen.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence contains a three hundred words self evident introduction,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: and then an airing of grievance is directed toward the
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: present King of Britain and his absolute tyranny over these states.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: By the way, the Constitution, sent to the States for
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: ratification eleven years after the declaration, also does not contain
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: the word freedom, but its preamble mentions the blessings of
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: liberty blessings. Indeed, the Bill of Riot's attached later is
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: full of freedoms. July fourth, seventeen seventy six imprinted in
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: our minds. So is quote four score and seven years
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: quote quote later, when Abraham Lincoln said in the Gettysburg
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Address that were we are a nation conceived in liberty
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Women got to vote sixty years later. The progress of
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: freedom was slow, but headed in the right direction, as
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: it always has been. Declaration's idea of government deriving their
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: just powers from the consent of the govern became Lincoln's
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: government of the people, by the people, for the people.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: Is that still true? Andy says, I worry biggest enemy
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: of freedom can be government. Itself. Remember, the Declaration of
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Grievances Number ten stated that the Kings sent hithers swarms
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Sounds like California, we were warned. Pamphleteer merce Otis Warren,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: often called the conscience of the American Revolution, wrote after
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: the war that while we may need a federal government, quote,
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: we have struggled for liberty and made costly sacrifices at
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: her shrine, and there are still many among us who
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: revere her name too much to relinquish the rights of
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: man for the dignity of government. Sadly this is long forgotten.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan worried it is nineteen sixty four a time
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: for che using speech that quote, we abandon the American
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: far distant capital can plan our lives for us better
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: than we can plan than ourselves.
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: Close.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: Quote still an issue in April at the University of Texas,
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: just as Clarence Thomas spoke about the Woodrow Wilson era,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: but clearly aimed at his heirs. Today, woods Wilson's airs,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: of course, quote progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: of the Declaration of Independence. It claims that our rights
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: and our dignities come not from God but from the government.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: It requires the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: the Constitution Well's quote, too much government can become tyranny.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: We see it every day. Government decides school curricula, what
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: drugs you can take, how many gowns your toilet can flush,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: how much of your earnings you can keep, and on
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: and on. Janis Joblin saying feeling good was good enough
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: for me. A defeatist sixties vibe that san Ley is
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: coming back into fashion New York mayor Zoron Mandami and
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: spreading virus of democratic socialists want to replace the frigidity.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: This is his words of rugged individual and with the
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: warmth of collectivism. Thomas Jefferson is turning in his grave.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: The weakening of our freedoms threatens our economic strength. Nobel
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: Prize winning economist Edmund Phelps believe that innovation comes from individualism.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: Vitalism and desire for self expression locks individual freedom for
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: the win. As always with freedom, it depends on what
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: you do with it. Andy Kessler concludes, I love fireworks
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: on the fourth of July, and this year will be
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: the best ever. But beyond the feel good oohs and ahs,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: fireworks should remind us that freedom, rather than nothing left
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: to lose, is all upside and always worth fighting for. Amen,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: that freedom is something we should dearly celebrate and embrace
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: and remember. I think therein lies the challenge. Too many
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: of us here have forgotten the greatness that that freedom
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: has given us, what we enjoy and what the rest
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: of the world does not have, which is why they
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: all want to come here, and many of them want
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: to come here just to change it. Six seventeen. Right
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: now fifty five krs detalk station joint pain Arthrite is
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: paid krs the talk station. It is six fifty five
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: KRC detox station. Happy Monday five three seven, eight two
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: three talk fifty on eight and T phones. Yeah, apparently
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: the Europeans love air conditioning. They found out that air
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: conditioning exists because they came here. Their lords and masters
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: think carbon dioxide is a problem and they're all going
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: to die. And since air conditioning accounts for like four
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: percent of the total carbon dioxide emissions on the planet,
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: it's okay that thousands of people die of heat stroke
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: in the middle of a heat wave in Europe because well,
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: you aren't allowed to have AC. See going back to
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: the concept of freedom, you can run around the store
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: right now by yourself an AC unit. They can't, and
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: if they try, the government tries to prevent them from
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: doing that. Anyway, it's kind of crazy. Nineteen percent only
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: of all Europeans have air conditioning in their new homes
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: here in the United States. Try to keep it in mind,
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: angry people. Ninety percent in the United States have air conditioning.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: Over to Britain sucks even worse to be in UK
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: fourteen percent of people have air conditioning, twenty five percent
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: in France and nineteen percent in Germany. Remember these are
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: developed nations, and I to point it out that's actually
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: the percentage of people with air conditioning now is higher
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: because only ten years ago was a fraction of that.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Travelers here are like, wait, a second air conditioning invented
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: in nineteen oh two, how come we can't have it
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: where we live, And they're asking questions and finding out
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: their own governments do not want them to have it.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: In other words, air conditioning is a luxury only for
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: the elite. Politicians got an illustration of that here in
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: a second, how else can the West save the world
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: from climate change? Thank you over at zero head for
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: those funny words. Okay, so in this reminds me of
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. Crazy things like amy lockdown acting, preventing your
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: kids from going to school, going to church. France has
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: banned drinking alcohol in public in order to help counter dehydration. Yeah,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: that'll work, like Governor de Wine saying you can't drink
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: in a bar after ten, but you can stay there.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: Everybody's trying to get to the few air conditioners that
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: remain in stores.
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: There.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: Leaders facing increasing demands. Wait a second, is net zero
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: really worth the death and really just miserable living conditions
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: we're dealing with right now? Apparently French environmental minister, French
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: Minister of Ecology, Monique Barbou, I'm gonna tell you now
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: how I see it. I'm horrified by the people who
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: tell me we just need to put air conditioning everywhere.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: Do you think that's gonna prevent forest fires? Do you
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: think that's gonna stop a crop from disappearing? Do you
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: think that's gonna prevent death of the animals we are seeing?
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: Do you think that's gonna prevent anything. Nothing. Of course,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: people shouldn't suffocate, But this isn't adapting to climate change,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: it's just an emergency measure. That's an elected official. There
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: you go. Apparently governments across Europe also cracking down an
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: even more more air conditioning. Get a load of this
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: when this is the illustration I was referring to. The
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: European Union Commission is shutting down their air conditioning and
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: their Brussels headquarters. Why they're setting an example? However, the
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: top floors where the lords and masters at the European
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: Union Commission are still air conditioned. They only shut off
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: the AC for the bottom seven floors where the lowly
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: low age workers are. Thirteen hundred deaths so far, and
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: this is a day old article, so I have been
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: linked to the rising temperatures. So one would think that
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: is that would be a perfect rationale for air conditioning,
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: But globalist leaders in the region are testing the will
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: of the public and seeing how much they can take away. Again,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: does this not sound a lot like covid well, global warming,
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: climate change, the next ice age, whatever has been raging
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: in the media for the last forty to fifty years,
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: right it's the same thing. Panic, panic, panic. We've got
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: to do something about it. Here we are going to
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: tell you how you can live your life. Yes, air
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: conditioning will save lives and make you feel better, but
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: you can't have it because well, carbon dioxide, which is
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: evil and a pollutant. And we just made it a
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: pollutant because we wrote something down that says it's a pollutant. Huh.

• 55:00
  Speaker 1: year battle with cancer ninety two years old. Statement from
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: the family says, our family's deeply said by the passing
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: of the Honorable Simon Leaes Junior passed peacefully this morning
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: at the age of ninety two after a four year
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: battle with cancer. Simon dedicated his life to public surface,
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: the people of our community and the Catholic faith, his
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: family said in a statement, But we know him as
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: a devoted family man, husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, relative,
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: friend whose love of his family and friends remained consconstant
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: throughout his life. I also appreciate the memory, extensions of
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: kindness and prayers. I think he's most noted for his
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: going after Larry Flint, as well as the Robert Maplethorpe
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: exhibit that was nineteen ninety. I read that. It's like wow,
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a lot longer ago than that,
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: But it was nineteen ninety when he charged the Contemporary
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: Arts Center for pandering, obscenity or something like that. It
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: was because of the Robert Maplethorpe photos elected a six
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: consecutive four year terms sheriff for Hamilton County. He was
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: there between nineteen ninety eight and two thousand and eight.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: So anyhow, God rest his soul. Six point thirty six

• 56:21
  Speaker 1: I called Galaxy Concrete Coatings of Cincinnati up and they
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: did transform that ugly, awful looking flaking previously painted, flaking

  Speaker 1: five krs DE talk station. If you're having a decent Monday,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: if you had a wonderful weekend. I certainly did. And
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: again thanks for all the prayers. We got good weather
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: for the daughter's weddings. Great, absolutely fantastic. You know, we
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: do Tech Friday at Dave Hatter on Friday, and just
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: dive in a different tech article because I thought this
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: was rather curious, comical on a lot of levels, but
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: it points out the fatal flaw of artificial intelligence modeling
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: that one of the search engines duck duck Go, and
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: I think that's one of the DAVE is recommended for
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: privacy also Brave, but duck duck Go. AI feature apparently
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: spreading the claim that President Donald Trump as well as
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: Vice President JD. Vance have both died. Yeah, and it
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: happened earlier this month by a very unusual claim that
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: this artificial intelligence is providing and it states it as
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: it's factual died from rabies. Now, apparently this is the
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: product this reporting. You know, AI goes out into the world,
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: grabs up all the data and then crunches it together,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: and I suppose if it comes across with a general
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: consensus going back to the COVID nineteen claims, the claims
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: about global warming and other things like that, the consensus
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: is that both JD. Vans and Donald Trump died from rabies.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: There's a Reddit community out there there familiar with Reddit,
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: different forums, and you go in there and you talk
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: to each other about various topics. The community is poison AI,
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: described as a group of approximately forty five thousand users
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: that are dedicated to posting absurd falsehoods to get AI
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: to believe that the sheer repetition of something like this
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: happening means it actually happened, And apparently they scored a
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: victory with Duck Duck go churning out this unverified and
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: obviously demonstrably false information. The favored false narrative has been
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: this jd Vance Dietter Rabis on June fifth, twenty twenty six,
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: and this AI Community poison. AI community members have been
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: posting dozens and dozens of fabricated tributes. So what they
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: do is they spread the rumor and then they follow
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: up with it, and anybody who claims it's not true.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: The follow up articles I can't believe you're deny eye
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: this things that AI also picks up, offering expressions of mourning,
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: fake screenshots of Trump truth, social media posts that are
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: eulogizing the vice president, for example. So all the little
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: follow up areas, they're going out there and creating additional
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: lies and supportive commentary that makes you think that the
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: lie is actually true, and of course it made AI
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: think it's true. Spokesman for Brave, here's valuable advice from Brave,
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: who is also tricked into this lie. Place responsibility on user,
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: saying search engines with or without artificial intelligence are not
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: oracles of truth. If there is a planted story, including
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: articles planted to prove the point that AI can be poisoned,
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: they will build a result set. That results set will
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: adapt as articles discussing this story as an experiment to
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: poison AI to start pop up. So they're saying, keep
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: talking about the poisoning of AI, because AI then will
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: catch on and then point out that this phenomenon is
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: actually happening. So it comes out smarter in the end
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: because you go out and you call all these articles
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: out for being false, back and forth and back and forth.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: It's basically a tug of war going on out here.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: Courd to the spokesperson from Brave, here's some sound advice.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: We encourage users to check claims and Brave search responses,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: including links to contest content sources where they're available, so
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: that you, the user can verify claims and sources. And
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: it should go without advising some good old common sense.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: Do not believe everything you read that is true now
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: as it was before AI and before the web. Close quote.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: Excellent advice from the folks over in Brave. Therein lies
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: the challenge and you go back to the education system
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: which is not teaching critical thinking, which is basically go
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: over to wiki and just churn out or write down
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: whatever Wiki tells you. No, that doesn't work. Time and
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: time again, people have learned a hard lesson by just
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: simply relying on artificial intelligence. Folks, you gotta follow up.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: And this sort of had me thinking looking back at
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: the European Union and at being duped into the idea
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: of the carbon dioxide because the scientific consensus says we
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: need to get rid of it. Have been killing themselves
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: by not allowing air conditioning and basically every place they
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: go we can't because ac makes carbon dioxide. Maybe we
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: need to get this reddit form poison AI to start
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: turning out a whole bunch of articles that speak the truth.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: Carbon dioxide isn't a problem. Maybe we'll start getting some
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: informed responses from artificial intelligence. I see Todds on the line,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: todd if you don't mind hold them innut. We've got
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: to take a break here at six forty five and come
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: back with more of that. Your call and other calls
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: another commentary. I want to mention fast and pro roofing.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: Now I love fast and pro roofing. You know, my
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: station six fifty on a Monday. Christopher Spindaman coming up
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: at seven twenty. Over to the phone, we go five
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: one three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: eight two three talk you care to call? I'd love
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: to hear from. Let's start with Todd. Todd, thank you
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: so much for holding over the rake. Welcome to the show.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, Brian, Happy Monday, and congratulations on your
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 5: new son in law.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: Thanks man, it's awesome. We're just we couldn't be happier.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: That's the greatest thing about the date.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: You know, I know there's a lot of people out
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: there whose daughters might have married a guy that they
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: didn't necessarily approve of. We got a real winner with Eric,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: and got a new family and new in laws. I
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: just love everything about Saturday. This was wonderful. But I
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: sure appreciate the well wishes. Man, Thank you very much.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 5: Oh, no problem, Hey, this isn't what I called about.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 5: But I was listening to that story about the AI
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 5: and yeah, the president and vice president getting ready. Have
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 5: you seen some of the Democrats in Congress. It's not
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 5: fit for one of them. It's irony. I mean, there's
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 5: that one old lady with the blue hair.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you made be.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: Be onto something. The consequences of untreated rabies infections on
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: full display, and for certain members of Congress, I love that.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: Let's put that one out there.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 5: Yes, but that's not why I call it. I was
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 5: calling about all the stories about climate change that and
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 5: there was the one, uh I think last week about
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 5: Vermont some of the states suing the oil companies.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 5: An out for the oil company and so I have
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 5: two things that'll uh solve that the oil companies can
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 5: come to an agreement with these states that if they
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 5: don't sue them, they promise they won't sell any more products.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: In their states.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: At number one, Todd, can I ask a quick question
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: on that? Does that include all petroleum based products, including
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: fertilizers and plastics, That.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 5: Includes all petrolleyum.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: Based product, all of that.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 5: Warming, and yet in their state that.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 9: Problem although you know the problem is the corollary problem
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 9: with that is Todd, that'll that'll work, But then every
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 9: human being who lives in those states that will no
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 9: longer enjoy the massive benefits of petroleum products will leave
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 9: those states.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: And then infiltrate our states where we're sane.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, or there will be an epiphany and things will
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 5: change in the next collection cycle. But uh, the other way,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 5: it's very cycle, very important, and it's kind of related
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 5: to that is don't no Democrats.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: It's because it's a mantra.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 5: Yes, haven't been able to hear Tom lately, so I
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 5: gotta throw that.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: Down whatever you gotta wake up be around around five
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: point thirty to get that message from Tom. But it
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: does hold true throughout the rest of the fifty five
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: care Sig Morning Show, and I don't mind people repeating it.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: And you know, the Democrats aren't dealing with this sort
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: of crisis of their own. They're not what's your which
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: direction to go? And Democrats within their own party the
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: sane er ones. And there are obviously various stripes within
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: the Democrat Party, much in the same way there are
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: in the Republican Party. But the Democrats aren't stepping up
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: to the play to denounce the communist shift of their party,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: so one must wonder whether they are in fact embracing it.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: But I always I keep going back the commis for
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: lack of a better phrasing or a moniker to put
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: on this far left shift and the Democratic Party are engaged,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: and they go out and vote, get all freaked out
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: about New York. Of course, New York is blue. They're
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: gonna vote for whatever whatever candidate has a D after
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: their name. But who showed up to vote? I can
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: see a lot of Democrats in New York saying, screw it.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: You know, you don't pay a top atension to politics
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: very much anyway. You know you're going to get a Democrat,
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: So what does it matter? Democrat here, Democrat there. But
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: the Democrat Party is obviously has a huge difference in
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: the degrees of well government control over your life. Mom,
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: Dommy just instituted rent control for a million plus apartments
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: in New York. Yeah, the property owners are a little upset
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: about that. What did we vote for? Well, if only
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: nineteen percent or even less than that in various communities
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: and boroughs within the City of New York or the state,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: even if only they show up in a primary, guess
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: who you get to vote for in November? Right, the kami,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: the commie that had the ground support to show up
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: at the primary. Primary is often so much more important
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: than the general election. I mean, you know, in New York,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: you're going to get a Democrat. It's a question of
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: which stripe have the Commis really made this much of
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: an inroad in the Democrat Party, or is it only
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: because they've made this much of an inroad with young
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: people who are well have have been thoroughly propagandized from
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: probably before K through twelve education all the way through college.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: They're dumb, but they're zealots when it comes to their
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: communism and their socialism, and they're the ones that show
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: up to vote in primary day, leaving you with a
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: bunch of communists to choose from in November or in December,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: or maybe the lone outlier Republican who actually thought it
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: was worth his or her time to try to run
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: a competitive race in an all blue city and state
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: that are New York. You got to keep this in mind, folks,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: as we fast approach November. You know, get your Trump
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: arrangement syndrome out of your head. Our country is going
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: off the rails with this leftist shift. Five point fifty
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: six or six fifty six rather fifty five kcity talk station,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: feel free to call. We got some time before Christopher
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: Smithman joins a program at seven to twenty and I
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: sure hope you can stick around celebrating two hundred and
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: fifty years of UCY the talk station. This guy is
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: seven oh six here at fifty five KROC DE Talk Station.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: My name is Brian Thomas. Wishing everybody a very happy Monday,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: and if I need to stick around, Coming up next segment,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: Christopher Smith Aman as is the case on a Monday's
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati with the
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: Smither event. Maybe he'll comment on the lots and lots
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: of gunfire and death over the weekend. Greater Cincinnati area
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: crime obviously remains a problem. Monday Monday with Brian James
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: Fast Forward one hour, got the oil going back up
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: because of the on and off straight of horror moves,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: closure or not, as the case may be. The Iranians
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: obviously not making They don't even seem to understand the
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: terms of the memorandum of understanding. Neither side apparently does.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: And it's the same thing that's been going on for
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: months now. You hear one report from you know, the
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: Trump or you know spokespersons or people within the know
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: here in the United States, only to be countered a
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: moment later by some statement from the Iranians and the
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: Iridians say they want full control of the straight of hormones.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons they blew a boat up.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: He was like, when I read that that happened, It's like,
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: wait a second, the ink's not even drying. The memoram
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: of understanding and they blew up an oil tank. Are
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: going through the Oman's side of the strait. Ther audience
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: wants you to use their side of the strait so
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: they can keep an account of who's going in and out,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: and of course that sets the stage for them controlling
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: completely Straight of Horror moves after this is all over,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: whenever over can be declared. And I keep speculating and wondering.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: You know, we have these continued threats from the Trump administration.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: You know, if you guys don't play nice, we are
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: going to unleash hell or fury or you know how
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: in what way. I'm not going to go back through
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: my comments in the five o'clock hour. I'm just very
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: confused over this. In what way, shape, or farm are
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: we going to see this thing through to its conclusion?
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: Wherever that conclusion happens to lead us boots on the
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: ground we're going to start dropping nuclear weapons on them.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: It remains to be seen anyway. That's obviously impacting the
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: price of oil, but had been dropping was seventy bucks
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: a barrel or even lower than that for a period
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: of time. I'm not sure what the futures are this morning,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: but Brian James gonna comment on that. I suppose we
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: should expect something rocky all the way through the November
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: elections because part of me wants to think the Iranians
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: are doing this to be a complete thorn in the
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: side of the Trump administration, so he is rendered a
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: lame duck after the November elections when everyone apparently is
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: going to vote for communists. Anyway, that in stock futures
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: trending higher notwithstanding, plus should you claim Social Security early?
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: That's with Brian James coming up real quick, and I
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: think John Fetterman, Democrat from Pennsylvania, remember that crazy guy. Yeah,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: he's the only one that's coming out as sane in
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. Before we get to that real quick here,
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: I want to thank and again I'm sorry. I'm just
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: so pleased at the weekend. First off, till all the
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: listeners who prayed for good weather. We had good weather.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: We had great weather. As a matter of fact, humidity sucked,
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: but it was great. The whole day was perfect. My
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: daughter is now married to a wonderful man. Are we
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: just think the ward of them. I just want to
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: a little quickly thank my wife for all of her efforts.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: Just so much work went into this, and I sat
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: dutifully on the sidelines, staying out of all of it
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: one because I didn't want to get involved in it.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: Knew I knew I was just going to cause problems
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: for my wife and doing all this planning. She made
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: the dress, she made the cake, she did all the planning.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: It was great. Thank you to my now in laws
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: for all the work that they did getting the place ready.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: The farm looked beautiful and a whole lot of work
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: went into that, preparing the place for the wedding ceremony.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: To all the family members that showed up. What a
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: wonderful event it was because of family, and we couldn't
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: have done it without the help of friends as well,
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: most notably Kevin Kevin Nichols, the barbecue pit master. He
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: was responsible for at least half of the food we ate.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: Everyone loved it. The man could make a fortune if
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: he started a barbecue business, but he won't do it
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: because he would no longer like the barbecue anymore. Kevin Nichols,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: you are a blessing and I cannot thank you for that.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: I want to thank Andrew and Beth for watching our house.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry for taking all the photographs. Friends took care
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: of the photography. And of course Tommy and Nancy are
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: neighbors who watched our house. Because when you tell people
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: you're going to be out for a wedding all day,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: you know how that can turn badly. Well, we had
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: Tommy and Nancy taking care of Liam and keep an
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: eye on the house, along with the other neighbors in
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: the neighborhood. So everyone came together and it was outstanding.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: I think each and every one of you back over
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: to Fetterman, and this is a legitimate concern. You know,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: Democrats should listen to John Fenneron who was worried about
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: a true constitutional crisis. You keep hearing about evil Orange Man.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: He's a threat to the constitution, He's a threat to democracy.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: What has he done that is upset democracy? Can you
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: still vote? Yeah? Some hilarious videos out there are people
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: walking up to these people that are claiming Donald Trump's
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: a fascist and simply ask him a question, what is fascism?
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: And they don't even know the answer to the question,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: And then they pivot over to he's a threat to
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: the Constitution. And the next follow up question is, well,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: can you still vote? He's not a dictator or an emperor.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: See the definition of fascism. Anyhow, They're obviously confused. Fetterment
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: happens to be well lacking in confusion. And when you
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: think about the socialists that were just elected in the
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: primaries are now moving on into November, can they swear
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: with a straight face? When the Democrats Socialists of America
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: policy their own platform really seeks to undermine some fundamental
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: tenets in the Constitution, things that would require amendments to
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: the Constitution, like eradicating provisions in the Constitution. Yeah, you're
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: gonna have to do a constitutional convention for something like that.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have to get the States to vote for it.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: It will never happen. But these are the platforms they're
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: running on undermining specific provisions of the Constitution. And Zorhan
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: Mamdami went out and set it out loud the other day.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: He plans on defying the Supreme Court separation of powers
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: issue here anyway, he was on Saturday in America. Fatterman
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: was citing prior Democrat warnings about a constitutional crisis under
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: evil Orange. Man pointed out that Trump administration has never
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: defied court rulings. I haven't seen the freak out now
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: that the mayor of New York is saying I'm going
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: to defy the Supreme Court.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 3: He said.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: Many of the members of my party are not calling
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: Mam Dami out, or they're defending him, or just saying
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: we're really actually have to follow the court rulings. Because
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: that's a constitutional crisis. When you have the leader of
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: the country's largest city saying we're not going to follow
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: or honor what the Supreme Court says. Indeed, a constitutional crisis. Now.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: Mandami's all angry about two of the Supreme Court decisions,
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: most recently the most recent one more than Mullen versus
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: al Otro Lado, in which the Court held the migrants
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: who were turned away at the border before entering the
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: United States are not allowed to apply for asylum. The
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: one that really got into my mind. Domi's hot under
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: the collar. Second one, it's Mullin versus dough and that's
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: where the court ruled Haitian and Syrian nationals in the
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: US with temporary protected status. That word is right there, temporary,
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: that they couldn't receive judiciary relief postponing the revocation of
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: their status while they challenge the Trump administration's efforts to
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: revoke it in court. So mom Dommy gets all hot
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: and bothered over that one and says in a statement
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: that ruling not something his administration will ever accept, refusing
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: to obey what is now the law of the land,
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: and where might this lead us?
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: I would argue this is difficult, different than a prosecutorial discretion,
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: because prosecutorial discretion is like the cop that lets you
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: go for speeding with a warning. The laws on the books.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: You were breaking the law, but there is some measure
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: of discretion there. It's like states not enforcing the federal
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: marijuana laws, which say that it's a Schedule one substance
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: and you can be arrested under federal law for it.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: Wells states have legalized and so we're just gonna let
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: that go. That's not a provision in the Constitution that
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: makes marijuana Schedule one drug. That of course is a
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: law that was placed on the books. But these are
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: challenges to the very fabric of our country. The Supreme
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: Law of the land something different. And what Mamdami does
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: by way of refusing to follow the Supreme Court's ruling
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: on this rago, the law of the land, the temporary
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: pristatic to protect its status, actually means what it says temporary.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: There is still the federal law and that's what federal
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: ICE agents do. They remove people who are not in
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: the country legally. Now is the Mamdami administration going to
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: actively go out itself and prevent federal agents from doing
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: their job. So far, he's got these crazy people in
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: the streets that are fighting ICE and in fact the cannon.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: And it's that one election. These Democratic Socialists of America,
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: I think, without any wavering among the various candidates, all
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: campaigned on ending ICE, stopping the deportation of those and
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: most notably the worst of the worst is what ICE
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: is going after. It's been repeated widely and even more
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: so just recently. You know, the only reason anybody that's
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: not a wanted, convicted felon is being picked up. Is
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: because those illegal immigrants are hanging out with the worst
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: of the worst. But the point being is momdomnigue to
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: stand in the way of the federal government. Now he
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: can unleash his minions and recommend that they show up
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: at a protest and ice protests. But that's regular folks
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: in the streets expressing their opposition to immigration enforcement enforcement
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: of laws that are on the books. Who's the bigger
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: threat to the constitution in the United States of America.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: Trump administration isn't late in federal law. So I'm fifteen
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: five kro C Detalk Station Christopher Smithing up next after
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: USA Insulation. The awesome product, the USA insulation is your
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: only regret if you don't have it or you haven't
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: called for the fame and very happy one to you.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: I always enjoy this time of the week we get
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: to hear from the former Vice mayor of the City
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati, Christopher smith Man. Christopher, welcome back to the program,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: my friend, love having you on.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: Oh thanks for having me on. I'm so honored to
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: be with you.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 7: Brian, and congratulations on that wedding.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: Thanks and I hope.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: Everything was beautiful. And I don't know how difficult.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 7: I've never had to give away a daughter, but I'm
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 7: sure it was emotional.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: It was, you know, it was funny because I was
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: not feeling much emotion. I was just feeling happy because
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: we love Eric and we love our daughter, and the
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: weather was looking great. I'm happy, happy, happy. I don't
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: feel any you know, melancholy or anything. I just started
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: walking her down the aisle and that's when it kind
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: of hit me, like here we go. And of course
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: during the ceremony, I got a little weepy well, but
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: beyond that, it was just all smiles and just a
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: perfect day. It could not have gone better. Yeah, you
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: wait for it, brother, It is something, man.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a hell of a feeling.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 7: I can't even imagine it is. I haven't crossed that bridge.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 7: And what you what both of us have in common
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 7: is we're men that don't mind crying, Like you know,
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 7: I don't. I don't mind shedding a tear and showing
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 7: my emotions bits a matter of fact, I think it's
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 7: healthier period.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 7: I want to start off, Brian, just by saying to
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 7: your listening audience that I love America, that I am
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 7: so positive on the future of our country. You know,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 7: two hundred and fifty years. What a great celebration as
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 7: we go into July fourth, and you know, I want
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 7: to encourage people all around the city, all around the county,
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 7: and all around the country to place their flags out
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 7: in front of their houses, you know, in their yards.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 7: Some people put them on the cars, and really show
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 7: our pride in America. We're in the middle of the
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 7: World Cup. You know, I'm rooting for our team. And
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 7: you know, Brian, I'm not into sports, that's not my thing.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 7: But our team, our national team is playing for the
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 7: World Cup. It's exciting. Wee should get We should be
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 7: getting behind that team and really showing our pride in
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 7: our country. Now that doesn't mean that you and I
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 7: don't believe that our country has work to do, that
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 7: we're still evolving in all of those things that I
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 7: might say.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: But this is a birthday party.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 7: It's not time to sit around and focus on the negative.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 7: It's time for us to celebrate what we have. And
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 7: other people are knocking on our door, jumping fences, drowning
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 7: in oceans, trying to get to our country for a reason. Right,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 7: We're not Americans, aren't getting on boats going other places,
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 7: you know, jumping fences and trying to get in other countries.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 7: They're not doing that for a reason because fundamentally, you
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 7: understand that this is the greatest place on the entire
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 7: planet to live.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: And if you want to if you want to be born.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 7: With impoverty, if you want to be born into a
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 7: single family, if you want to be born into foster care,
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 7: what's great about this country is you can.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: Achieve all of your goals.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 7: Working hard, deferred gratification, getting an education. That education doesn't
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 7: have to be formal. That education is reading, being well read,
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 7: understanding things so that when you're running a business, you
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 7: know what you're doing. There is no country like this one.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 7: And I just want to I just want to say, Brian,
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 7: that even coming across Americans right now who are saying
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 7: that they don't like our country, they don't want to
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 7: put a flag up. These are many of them young people.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 7: I'm not going to say they're confused. I'm going to
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 7: say they're lost. And I would say to anybody listening
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 7: right who is an American.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: Who has the right here all.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 7: The rights of being an American. If you do not
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 7: like our country.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: And you want to spend this weekend.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 7: Setting our flag on fire, protesting our country, which you
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 7: have the right to do. Leave, Get on a plane,
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 7: get on a boat, get on a bicycle, do whatever
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 7: you need to do to take a one way ticket
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 7: and get out of the United States of America. This
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 7: is not the time in place this weekend for protest.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 7: This is the time for us to celebrate our greatness,
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 7: to celebrate our victories and our wins. Understand I, personally,
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 7: as a black American, I don't want to live anywhere
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 7: else on the planet other than right here. And you
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 7: can say all the things you want to say that
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 7: are bad about this country. Brother, I'm not going anywhere.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 7: That's my first segment as I come in, brother, happy
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 7: fourth of July weekend. They are And congratulations brother, on
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 7: being a great American.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: Thanks man, I appreciate your sentiment. As we approach the
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary this great nation of arts. Yes,
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: let's celebrate the greatness as we continue to iron out
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: some of the problems that linger. And that's what we do,
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: and that's what we have always done. More with Christopher
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: Smithman at seven twenty six. Right now, if you got
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: KR City talk station fourth time for traffic. You see
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: how transit center? Do you see how brain tumor center
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: is The CD talk station Brian Thomas with Christopher Smithlman,
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: former vice mayor, doing the Smith event this morning. Real
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: quick here, Christopher, you know, on the heels of your
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: comments about that the crazy idea you think about George
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: Soros who made billions of dollars thanks to the United
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: States and capitalism. You got this social media Charlotte guy
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: named Hassan Piker who was on social media. Apparently he's
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: real popular there. They call him the left version of
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: Alex Jones. He posts YouTube videos and Amazon videos campaigning
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: for all the socialist candidates. He bought a two point
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: seven million dollar home in West Hollywood when he was
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: only twenty nine years old. At The Wall Street Journal
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: observes that only in America can one get rich by
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: assailing the wealthy and then notable. All of these democrats
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: socialists of America all very well educated, most all graduated
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: from college, got some multiple degrees, and exemplify the economic
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: mobility that they claim isn't even possible in the United
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: States of America. It's crazy, man, and they're anyway, I
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: could go on. There's a whole bunch of great illustrations
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: about the seemingly the duplicity come out of these idiot's mouths.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: But they're living the American dream by tearing the American
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: dream down in their in their campaigns. Christopher, it just
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. Absolutely, it doesn't.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 7: Look. I'm going to try to tie what you just
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 7: said together with the birthright citizenship decision that's coming today
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 7: from the Supreme Court.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 2: And this is.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 7: Important because the foundation of this, Brian Thomas, is the
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 7: dread Scott case, and I've spoken about this on your
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 7: show eighteen fifty seven. Dred Scott versus Stanford. Here is
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 7: a black American at that time, a slave who had
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 7: traveled to two states and he was free, and he decided, look,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna file a lawsuit for my freedom and dred
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 7: Scott Stanford he lost, and that Supreme Court was majority Democrat.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 7: I'm want to say that again, majority Democrat. Supreme Court
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 7: said that dred Scott was a slave property. So from
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 7: the property property, dude property. And so from the dread
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 7: Scott case, you had the birth of Abraham Lincoln, you
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 7: had the birth of the Emancipation Proclamation.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: And you had what we call a civil war where six.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 7: Hundred and fifty thousand of our brothrens lost their life
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 7: fighting for our freedom. As we talk about July fourth
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 7: and two hundred and fifty years a lot of people
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 7: put their life on the line. But here we're going
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 7: to have a decision which I am not confident that
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 7: this Supreme Court is going to get it get it right,
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 7: that they are going to pimp out black Americans. The
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 7: Democratic Party who was ironically running the majority of the
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 7: Supreme Court that decided that dread Scott was a slave
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 7: and would always be property. Now today they're flipping the
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 7: script and they're saying, hey, you can come to America
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 7: and drop a baby on a vacation and you are
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 7: now an American citizen on the backdrop of the dred
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 7: Scott case. Now, let me tell you, brother, that catches
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 7: my attention. And this is what makes me so frustrated
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 7: at times with Democrats, as the Black community is the
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 7: base of the Democratic Party, and they're willing to pimp
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 7: us do anything they possibly can do to undermine and
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 7: really desecrate the history of black Americans. Dred Scott was
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 7: one of the greatest Americans ever to live. Here's a
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 7: dude that was a slave who spent his life trying
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 7: to buy the freedom of his family, understood in Missouri
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 7: that he would file in that state court, ultimately became
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 7: a federal case, ultimately landed in the Supreme Court, only
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 7: to have a majority Democratic Supreme Court tell Drad Scott
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 7: he was a slave, and I'm going to wake up
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 7: today in the Supreme Court on the backs of that
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 7: are going to say, look, dude, you can come from
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 7: anywhere in the world, drop a baby, and become an
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 7: American citizen, and say that that was exactly what the
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 7: Supreme Court or our nation was talking about as it
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 7: relates to any of these cases, but specifically the dread
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 7: Scott case.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: These were about slaves.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 7: These were about my ancestors who helped build this great country,
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 7: who helped who gave their life, who at times were
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 7: hung never got justice in our criminal justice systems down
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 7: in the Deep South, where the Dixiecrats, which are Democrats
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 7: who are down there blocking us from getting a public education.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 7: And so as we walk in and celebrate which I
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 7: believe two hundred and fifty years of greatness, please Democrats
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 7: put your flags out and tell the world, your confederacy,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 7: that you lost the war.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to let that sit, beautifully, stated Christophersman.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: We'll get some more time with for coming over to
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: the next segment. Station seven here fifty five KR City
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: Talk Station Brian Thomas with Christopher Smithman during the smith
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: A Van, as we do every Monday. You can find
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: the podcast of this conversation, along with other podcasts on
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: fifty five Krose dot com on the podcast page. Christopher,
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: you have the floor again, man, brother.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 7: I don't know why Democrats some democrats, so I'm not
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 7: a broad brush here, and those being black Americans who
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 7: are some of them are Democrats, but I'm talking white
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 7: and black and Latino. Democrats are so afraid of this
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 7: public conversation that I'm having that they like to hurl,
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 7: you know, insults by calling people like me who talk
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 7: about the history of our country as we celebrate two
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 7: hundred and fifty years as me being an aunfule Tom
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 7: or somebody that's outside of it. What is it about
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 7: these historical facts that shake democrats down to their underpants?
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 7: And so they'll walk up to me and they'll say
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 7: things like, well.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: God, smithermana you must be a Republican.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 7: Now I'm a registered Independent, but I've just got some
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 7: common sense and have some understanding of history. And I'll
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 7: say to that black American, why would you come to me.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: And hurl what you think is an insult?
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 7: Which is the greatest compliment you could have given me today,
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 7: that you're saying that I am a Republican, the party
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 7: that freed my black butt? Is that what you're saying.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 7: I mean, the Emancipation Proclamation, the Civil Rights right for
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 7: talking Lincoln the President, all of these people were Republicans, right,
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 7: they fought in the Civil War to free my ancestry.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 7: What a great compliment that you would call me today
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 7: a Republican, that you're saying this is a party.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: That freed my black butt. Yes, well, I'm.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 7: An Independent, But what I will tell you is I
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 7: am not a Dixiecrat. I will not be that person
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 7: flying the Confederate flag.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: You know, on the two hundred.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 7: And fiftieth year, those will be Dixiecrats that will be
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 7: doing things like that. Well, it's insane to me when
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 7: I talk to Black Americans sometimes, who obviously some of
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 7: them have no historical point about what I'm discussing.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 2: On this radio, which is all true.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 7: That why would you run around and say dispouraging things
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 7: about African Americans or Black Americans who call themselves Republicans
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 7: and Conservatives when it is that party as we march
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 7: into the twenty two hundred and fiftieth celebration of our
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 7: of our history, that that is the party that freed you.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 7: So if that makes me and Uncle Tom, I wear
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 7: that with pride.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well I wear with pride, dude, and Uncle Tom.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: Doesn't that refer to a black person in the South
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: who would capitulate and kawtau and cater to the slave masters? Correct, Okay,
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: and that means that they were black, sound like, no,
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: you don't. But also that would be catering, caltowing, or
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: otherwise capitulating to the Democrats who put slavery in place,
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: and of course who's supported slavery throughout the Civil War
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: and the Klan too. We can't overlook the fact that
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: the Democrats benefited amazingly by the event, by the backing
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: of the Ku Klux Klan.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 7: One hundred percent one of the greatest domestic terrorist groups
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 7: in our in our country. But at the end of
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 7: the day, I just don't want people walking around right
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 7: on the two hundred and fiftiest year celebration of our country,
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 7: asking themselves if they happen to be a black American,
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 7: I'm an American.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: I like to say I'm an American.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 7: But for identity politics in this conversation, black Americans who
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 7: might feel pressure of why they might not write, why
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 7: they might have a flag or not have a flag,
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 7: were that flag, put that flag out with great pride.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 7: Don't be afraid to say that Abraham Lincoln signed the
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 7: Emancipation Proclamation, or that Dred Scott fought for his freedom
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 7: in eighteen fifty seven versus Stanford, and it was the
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 7: Democrats that the court who blocked his freedom, and he
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 7: died in his mind.
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: Still a slave.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 7: And it took all the way until the Civil Rights
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 7: into the nineteen sixties, which yet again the Republicans came
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 7: to the aid of Black Americans and voted to give
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 7: us our right, to vote, to give us basic civil rights,
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 7: to tell the rest of the world that we are
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 7: not property. These are the things that we must understand
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 7: and celebrate. Brian Thomas, as we march into this two
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 7: hundred and fiftieth party on July fourth, when the people
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 7: are out here trying to tell Black Americans that don't
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 7: celebrate that this is not your country.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 2: It's absolutely insane, and as if the.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 7: Democratic Party delivered us into our freedom. If it weren't
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 7: for the Republicans, we'd be going into the two hundred
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 7: and fiftieth year as a slave, as an enslaved people
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 7: with pole taxes down in the South being lynched by
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 7: the Dixiecrats wearing hoods, if it wasn't for the Republican Party.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: So my vent is all about this country.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 7: I love it.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: I'm a great American. I love this country.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 7: I'm a capitalist at the absolute core. I'm a stockbroker.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 7: I love waking up and trying to find a trade
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 7: and sending it to New York or doing some kind
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 7: of stock option through Chicago. Nowhere in America can I
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 7: make the kind of money I make on a daily basis,
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 7: or the money I make in this country by making
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 7: good decisions. Sometimes I lose money, sometimes I make money.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 7: Brian Thomas, But I loved it. I love the chance
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 7: of it, I love the thrill of it. I love
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 7: the ability to do it. And there is no place
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 7: on America that I can make the kind of money
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 7: build the life I have for my five children, my
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 7: great my wonderful father and mother, and all of the
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 7: opportunities that they had and fought forth through the South,
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 7: going to historically black colleges and universities, ultimately the land
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 7: at Procter and Gamble, and to be the first African American.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: With the pea my dad hired.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 7: By proct and Gimble in the United States of America.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 7: That wouldn't happen anywhere else. From a poor kid out
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 7: of Birmingham, Alabama, born to a Baptist minister whose church
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 7: was burned to the ground by the klu Klux Klan
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 7: in Birmingham, Alabama by the Democrats. So let me tell
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 7: you something, brother, I'm gonna be celebrating. I'm gonna be
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 7: putting my flag out, I'm gonna be marching around and
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 7: every Black American that can hear my voice. Anybody that
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 7: walks up and tries to tell you that this is
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 7: not your country, that you should celebrate it and love
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 7: it and embrace it, they are absolutely nuts.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: Absolutely you know, you are living proof among so many
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: other successful Black Americans that any American, if they have
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: the right education or they apply themselves, you're gonna get
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: I'm just guaranteed success in this country. You have to
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: apply yourself and have to get an education. Of course,
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: your family support is, you know, without question, a contribution
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: to your success because family units and structure that you
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: know have these wonderful ideas and concepts for success in America,
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: and who grasp it and understand it can do very
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: very well. You haven't defied the odds. You've just proven
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: that American dream is capable for all who choose to
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: to work for.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 7: It and work hard for it, not give up, not
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 7: walk around with you on your shoulder. Look, things people cheat, Racism, sexism, agism,
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 7: all those things are just people cheating. It's like a
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 7: basketball game. I'm grabbing your jersey or trying to still
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 7: do a layup or shoot a three point I'm not
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 7: an athlete at all, but the reality of it, all.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: Those things are just cheating.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 7: You got to learn how to get around those things,
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 7: get under them, get above them, and rise to the occasion.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: And so that's all I tried to do.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 7: And I am never hating on billionaires and trillionaires and
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 7: anybody else who's doing better than me or has.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: More money than me.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 7: I'm letting you know I work every day. I want
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 7: to dig a well that I'll never drink from. I
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 7: want to make sure that my children, my grandchildren, my
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 7: great grandchildren have a better life than I have.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 2: That's what you call working hard and thinking about your future.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 7: There's nothing wrong with any of those things. And I
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 7: just think that the Democratic Party right now, the socialists
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 7: are trying to hate. They're trying to tell Black Americans
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 7: the only thing that we can look forward to in
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 7: some type of welfare, some support system, some type of
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 7: I'm going to give you something instead of Look, you
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 7: can work, make money, savor it systematically compounded interest over
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 7: thirty or forty years, be a multi millionaire, and push yourself.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 7: You don't need the Democratic Party. They want to use
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 7: you so they control your vote and they can maintain power.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 7: That's the only thing they're interested in. And that was
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 7: confirmed out of Maine when you had Bernie Sanders, a
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 7: Jewish man standing next to a person who has a
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 7: ku kluts Tran or Nazi or whatever.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: The heck he had tattooed on his body. Brother.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 7: It's live and living within the Democratic Party and they're
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 7: just seeking power. I support the Zach Ramaswami. Here's a
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 7: man who's an Indian who's made lots of money, and
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 7: I have people hating on him because he's successful.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: I celebrate him.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 7: I want a governor that's in the place that understands business,
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 7: wants to bring better business, wants to bring jobs, lower
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 7: taxes where there's property income taxes. I would love to
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 7: have somebody in the governor's office for the next eight
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 7: years that's thinking about lowering my taxes, making sure that
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 7: they're creating opportunities for everybody. So anyway, thank you so
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 7: much for giving me so much time. I love this
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 7: country and I just wanted to make sure I made
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 7: it clear why I loved it. What is important about
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 7: this upcoming holiday coming up on the fourth, and to
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 7: push back on the socialists that are trying to take over.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 7: I guess the Democratic Party who want us to hate
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 7: our country. Alexander the Great lived and they're still knocking
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 7: on our door. If we're not careful, we'll kill each
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 7: other from inside, which is what our enemies want us
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 7: to do. They want us to fight each other. They
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 7: want me to think that my white brother is my enemy.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 2: They are not. They are not.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 7: I'm looking from the outside saying, guess what, this is
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 7: the greatest country. We have the greatest military, we have
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 7: the greatest economic situation in the world. And if you
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 7: come here and you work hard, and you become a citizen,
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 7: and you accept English as your first language, you can
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 7: now take to the highest levels and build the greatest
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 7: dream of your life for your family, period period.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: Nobody can argue with that. And in terms of clarity,
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: crystal clear, Christopher Smethan, thank you so much for the
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: powerful It's eight oh six here at fifty five caros
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: De Talk Station. Happy Monday. Try to make it happy anyway.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: You don't think about the situation between the United States
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: and Iran, anyway, if you don't think about the price
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: of a barrel of oil, welcome back to the fifty
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: five Carosey Morning Show to discuss that, among other topics.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: It's time for Money Monday with Brian James from all
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: Worth Financial. Every Monday at eight oh five we talk
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: about a few topics. Welcome back Brian James. Hope you
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: had a wonderful weekend.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 8: Good morning mister Thomas, and let's all enjoy a hot,
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 8: sweaty Moday and rest of the week.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: I guess, no doubt. And thank god we're in America
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: where ninety percent of Americans have an air conditioning, unlike
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: the Brits and the French and the Germans who only
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: I think a twenty percent maybe twenty. The French have
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: twenty five percent air conditioning, but if you go to
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: the United Kingdom, it's only like fourteen or fifteen percent,
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: which really has to suck.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna bump your number down to
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 8: eighty nine point nine nine nine percent. The cars ours
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 8: literally quit last night that we have fans all over
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 8: the house my own fault.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 3: I was asking for it. We haven't done the best
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 3: job maintaining, but it does make.
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 8: You realize exactly how spoiled we are and how quickly it.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 3: It disrupts life.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: Not they have that, true, but I'd be remiss if
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: I didn't throw in a free spot for Zimmer Zimmer
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: Heating and air Conditioning to the rescue. Phil. I've they
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: sponsored this show, so I got to put in a
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: free plug for them. Anybody with problems along those lines, I.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 3: Will put them on the list.
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: There you go shortly, all right, that's gonna cost you
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: a little bit more money to drive around. Although I
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: don't know that they see the price of gasoline was
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: going down. I know a lot of people were angry
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: that it wasn't going down as fast as the barrels
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: of oil. But the minute they announced that the Straight
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: of Horror Moves was going to be flowing freely again,
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: they being the US and Iran, based on the memorandum understanding.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: Of course the price of oil dropped really quickly. That's great,
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: but the gasoling price didn't go down very much. But
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: now we have the renewed strikes. We have Iran blowing
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: up boats because they didn't go through the Iranian side
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: of the Strait of Horror Moves, which I know that
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: wasn't in the memorandum of understanding, but I guess they
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: saw it there and since the boats were going along
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: the Omani side, they decided to blow one up. Of course,
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: we result that result to US bombing targets in Iran
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: and wash rents and repeat over the weekend. But apparently
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: they have settled back down again and they've agreed to
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: cease fire again. TikTok, TikTok. I suppose maybe this one
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: will last. Brian, I'm a little jaded and cynical about
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: whether that's going to happen. But we have oil futures
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: going up at least.
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 8: Some Yeah, you know, I'm a little bit jaded and
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 8: not quite trusting what I hear and see. Yet I
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 8: think for a good long time now we're going to
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 8: have questions. We've kind of been trained to believe that
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 8: what we hear is not exactly yet reality, and it's
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 8: not maybe.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 3: As final as we've been led to believe that it is.
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 8: So let's talk a little bit about why why is
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 8: it still an expense more expensive at the pump when
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 8: oil prices dropped a good chunk. Well, there's a lot
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 8: more components than just oil going into gas. And remember
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 8: it takes gasoline to make gasoline. We have to drag
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 8: stuff all over the country. There are the costs of refining, distribution, transportation, marketing, federal,
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 8: state taxes, all that other stuff. So there's definitely a difference.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 8: That's not a direct relationship between the price of oil
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 8: and the price of gas. Not to mention, I believe
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 8: the market is out there, and I'm speaking in terms
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 8: of futures things like that, the market is out there.
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 8: Being slightly suspicious, just like you and I were hinting
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 8: at that maybe this isn't going to stick this time anyway,
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 8: and we're not going to drop prices just all that
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 8: quickly yet.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: Well, honestly, and I had one of my listeners, you know,
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: very very conservative woman applaud the idea that Donald Trump
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: is going to lease the Department of Justice on the
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: oil companies for price gouging. I thought that really sounded
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: more Biden esque. It didn't sound like an appropriate response.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: And I know he needs to suggest to the American
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: people he wants to do something about the price of gasoline.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: But going back to your point, there's a whole lot
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: more involved in it than just the price of a
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 1: barrel of oil, of course.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 8: And there's a lot of mechanics to it. And at
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 8: the same time, we got to remember, I am really
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 8: jaded when it comes to this kind of stuff. We've
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 8: got to remember that, you know, I think this administration
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 8: is a and in the country in general. We were
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 8: founded on the notion that we can create our own destiny,
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 8: and that means we can create our own profit margin, uh,
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 8: and so make what you can make within the bounds
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 8: of the law.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 3: But at the same time, you're going to.
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 8: Get a pretty uh, pretty pretty loose reins in terms
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 8: of being able to do whatever you want to do.
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 8: And that is something that happens just about every industry.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 8: You know, want one person or a couple of people
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 8: saying we should investigate so and so for for price
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 8: gouging that happens every time prices move around. People canna
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 8: disregard the notion that that that that that can happen
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 8: any other way than pure evil.
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 8: But you know, I don't. I haven't really heard a
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 8: groundswell for this, and I'm I'm not anticipating that the
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 8: president is going to anger his largest some of his
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 8: largest contributors to the UH to the old coffers.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: Well, and they'd also have to prove some sort of culpability.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a point of a you know, price
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: gouging investigation that they find that there is artificial price inflation.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: And I mean, but there there isn't necessarily artificial price
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: inflation because of everything that's going on. Also, the oil
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: companies don't necessarily own the filling stations. You know, I
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: always joke about the gas station on Camargo that the
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: price of gasoline there regardless of when under what the
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: price of oil is doesn't matter. It's always like a
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: buck more a gallon expensive than everythace else. If you
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: drive like half a mile away, you can save yourself
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 1: a bucket gallon. They're the ones that decided to make
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: the price of gasoline expensive at that one And if you,
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 1: of course search around town, the price of gasoline can
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: vary like seventy five CeNSE depending on where you're buying it. Now,
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know the reason for that, but that's not
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: the oil company's doing it now.
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 8: That's just apply and demand. What can we get and
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 8: how much can we get for it. That's just the
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 8: American way. It always feels like this. But whenever we
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 8: have wild swings in oil prices and therefore gasoline prices,
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 8: there's always a ground swell of Hey, somebody is screwing me,
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 8: and I want somebody investigated, and I want somebody strung
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 8: up for this. Well, the largest investigation the FTC ever
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 8: did was right after Herhurricane Katrina. That obviously was a
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 8: huge disruption to the oil and gas industry here, and
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 8: so there was a lot of a hue and cry
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 8: over that. But at the same time, there was a
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 8: catalyst for it, and at that time there was no
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 8: evidence of widespread collusion, nationwide price gouging anything like that.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 8: The price increases that did occur were explained by supply disruptions,
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 8: refinery out just the stuff you would expect after the
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 8: largest hurricane in the country's history. And you know, and
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 8: I would say that the same would be found here.
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 8: We have a major catalyst in terms of a of
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 8: a war that we started in Iran that has disrupted
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 8: a lot of the flow of oil through the shrad.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 3: Of Horn moves. Now.
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 8: The thing to remember, and I think this is what
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 8: confuses people a little bit, because we are not nearly
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 8: as dependent on the Middle East as we used to be. Right, So,
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 8: in the seventies we were heavily dependent. US oil production
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 8: had peaked, domestic consumption kept growing. Remember these are the
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 8: stagflation days. We had the Arab oil embargo in nineteen
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 8: seventy three, and that resulted in oil prices quadrupling, gas
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 8: stations ran out of fuel, and all that kind of
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 8: stuff that permanently changed US energy policy. By the US
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 8: by the early two thousands was importing about sixty percent
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 8: of the patroleum that it consumed imports from OPEC were
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 8: a major, major strategic concern, but all that changed around
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 8: two thousand and five, six, seven, eight, something like that,
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 8: And it was a technology that did it. So we
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 8: learned how to drill horizontally, meaning if we find a
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 8: you know, an oil strand might be fifty feet deep
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 8: if we drill through it too far, well tough stuff,
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 8: but it could be tens of hundred, if not one
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 8: hundreds of miles wide. So if we drill horizontally through it,
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 8: we can stay in it. And then also we had
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 8: what we now know is fracking come online that has
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 8: now unlocked enormous reserves in New Mexico, Texas, North Dakota.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 8: So and then give you some some things to compare here.
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 8: By two thousand and eight, we were producing about five
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 8: million barrels a day twenty four to twenty six. Now
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 8: we produce about thirteen to fourteen million barrels a day,
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 8: so we are not nearly as dependent as as we
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 8: used to be. However, the price of oil is still
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 8: set by global conflict and all that other stuff.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 3: It's still a.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 1: Market well, and the other component of this is it's
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 1: everything else that flows through the strait of horror moves,
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: and I wanted to ask you about work around. Hold
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: on at a cough. We don't have enough refineries here,
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: so we always have to worry about, you know, production
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: of gasoline. We don't have fertilizer manufacturing here apparently either
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 1: in very limited supply, so you've got to rely on
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: fertilizer made from petroleum products coming through the strait of
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: horror Moves. That is a global concept or problem. Is
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 1: there down the road? Do you see this? Much like
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 1: we changed our energy policies as as a direct consequence
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: of the embargo from Opak, we need to do our
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: own mining. It's like going through COVID. We need to
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: start manufacturing our own pharmaceuticals. Is there in the future
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: you believe a workaround around the strait of horror moves?
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 1: So that doesn't result any closure by Iran down the road,
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 1: doesn't result in twenty percent of the world's you know,
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: petroleums coming to a screeching halt. Brian James, Well, I
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: think we're a little bit stuck there because really at
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 1: this point there isn't much of an alternative.
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 8: And again it's not our oil. We are not the
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 8: ones can, We're not the consumers to the other end
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 8: of the oil that's moving through there. However, our customers
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 8: are so a lot of the other countries in the
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 8: world have no other choice right there. There aren't many
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 8: countries in Europe. I believe it's only Norway that is
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 8: technically oil independent. Everybody else in Europe has to get
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 8: their oil from somebody else, and a lot of that,
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 8: of course comes from Iran. Those countries have a lot
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 8: of consumers who like to consume products that are that
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 8: are created and based in the United States. Unfortunately, if
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 8: oil prices are affecting their ability to pay for our products,
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 8: then that trickles through to us. If I would say,
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 8: if there was another another path through that, then we
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 8: would already have identified it. Because this is especially now
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 8: because we have now shined a bright light.
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 3: I don't think even Iran.
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 8: It seems like even Iran seems to have been aware
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 8: of exactly how much control they could have over the
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 8: rest of the world.
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: It's true, we started this war, it's true.
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they really cut them off guard as much as
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 8: it did the American public.
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 3: I think that's kind of an important area of the world.
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an excellent observation they the Iranians didn't even
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: know how much power they had in their hands. That's crazy. Anyhow,
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: It is crazy, period, end of story. I just maybe
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: the rest of the world, like the European Union, will
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 1: quit slashing its throat in the name of ending carbon
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: dioxide in mel tapping into its own resources or at
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: least seeking out alternatives. They love to use the oil,
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 1: they just don't want to have any credit for pulling
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: it out of the ground because well, climate change or whatever.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: Don't go away, because Brian James is going to talk
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 1: about stock futures. Is this conflict impacting the stock market?
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 1: And the stock market seems to ignore the conflict from
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: everything I can tell Brian James on that. Coming up next,
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 1: Don't go Away. Fifty five KRC dot com our iHeartRadio
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: Music Festival, the KRC the talk station. Hey, twenty fifty
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: one KRCD talk station. It is money, Monday Time. A
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: few segments with Brian James, all with Financie, who's kind
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 1: of enough to loan him out for a few segments
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 1: on a Monday. Let's talk about the stock futures. They
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: are trending a little bit higher this morning. I was
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: looking at the futures in Wall Street Journal Dow up
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: half a point bad little more than eighty percent, or
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: point eight on the S and P Nasdaq one point
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: two to three, So ticking up a little bit. But
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 1: that seems to be the case lately with the markets. Brian,
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: I for whatever reason, I kind of have it in
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 1: the back of my mind. You know, the bubble's going
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 1: to burst, the plug's gonna get pulled, Oh my god,
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: the market's over valued. Everybody wakes up one day, the
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: whole thing comes crashing down like we've seen so many times,
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 1: you know, with real estate collapse and the tech bubble bursting.
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: So where are we with this crazy doing really really well?
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 1: And thank god I'm invested in the market, Brian James.
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 8: You know, I think you just described it right there.
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 8: It's crazy, and it's it can be. I don't want
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 8: to say unreliable, unpredictable. Maybe I think is the it's
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 8: let's let me let me put it this way, it's
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 8: reliably unpredictable.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 3: How about that. There you go, just in terms of
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 3: you know, what do we expect?
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 8: And honestly, I think this is just a step way
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 8: way back and just look at the whole you know
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 8: long term history of it here there there. The stock
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 8: market has just become the thing that we that that
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 8: we that rives everything. I don't think it used to
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 8: be that way fifty sixty years ago, But nowadays every
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 8: you know, the focus of basically everybody trying to put
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 8: themselves in a stronger, a stronger financial situation has been
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 8: how do I build my wealth? How do I build
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 8: my balance sheet? It used to be how do I
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 8: build a stream of income? I want to I'm going
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 8: to work for this the factory for you know, thirty
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 8: forty years, and I'll get a pension, uh, and maybe
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 8: I'll put some of that in rental real estate, and
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 8: I'll have all these streams of income.
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 3: That's not the way we think anymore.
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 8: When you look at those types of investments, they pale
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 8: in comparison in terms of over what the overall market
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 8: has given us over the past several decades. And it
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 8: seems like we are just We've just moved to this
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 8: phase where what now what I'm after is a bigger
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 8: pile of money, not so much a stream of income.
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 8: I still need a stream of income out of it,
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 8: but my accumulation years are much more about building a pile, uh,
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 8: than they are building a stream. And that's how the
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 8: market and that's basically what is in the market over
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 8: the past several decades.
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: Well, it's that pile of money that you know creates
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: the revenue every year it tends to grow. So you know,
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: you pull five, six, seven, eight percent off the pile
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 1: of money. Some people end up with a pile enough
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: money that's big enough that just what is earned on
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 1: the investment can feed and clothe them and house them
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: in the retirement. So the principle never really kind of dissipates.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah, And actually, ironically, we talk every now and about
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 8: that four percent rule, and I.
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 3: Know you've you've heard that out there.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 8: The basic study that you know four percent is a
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 8: reliable number to pull out over a thirty year period,
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 8: which is kind of an average retirement timeframe there.
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 3: That study has been around for a long time.
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 8: What it did was it looked through years from say
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 8: nineteen thirty one to nineteen sixty one, thirty two to
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 8: sixty two and on down the line and figured out
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 8: of all those periods, what percentage could you have pulled
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 8: out of your principle and not run out of money?
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 8: And the conclusion was four percent. That's been around for
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 8: a long time. The gentleman who put that study together
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 8: just recently came out with an update and he now
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 8: believes that that calculation is four point seven percent. Now,
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 8: I'll tell you in thirty years whether that came to
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 8: pass or not. But to me, that's another indicator that again,
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 8: we are much more focused on piles of money than
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 8: streams of income, and that's coming through and all these
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 8: studies that talk about how to make your ass sets
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 8: last for the rest of your life, Well.
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 1: One maybe we can tie into the next segment, which
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: is going to be, well should you claim social Security?
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: Earlier I saw Senator Bill Cassany is looking for some
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 1: sort of reform in the Social Security system because we
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 1: do know it is running out of money and they're
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 1: going to start cutting our social Security checks in a
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: fairly short order unless something is done. Talking about a
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: one point trillion dollar a Social Security rescue fund, in
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: other words, actually putting the money that they take out
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: of our paychecks in the market, so the account, the
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 1: Social Security like a trust fund account that actually exists, Brian,
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 1: is actually invested in the market. Part of me wants
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: to say, well, that's better than just sort of letting
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: the government take care of it, because they don't. But
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: what kind of impact might that have if I can
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 1: catch you off guard a little bit on the markets themselves,
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 1: if the government starts investing in it directly.
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 8: Well, Well, first off, think about the impact that happened
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 8: to the stock market when the four to oh one
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 8: k became a thing starting in the late seventies. Shortly
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 8: after that, we of course had a recession, and we
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 8: had really high interest rates to beat that back. But
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 8: then all of a sudden, as we were making the
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 8: pivot from pensions where companies themselves had to support their
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 8: own retirees and a lot of dollars had to flow
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 8: into very safe investments like US treasuries and so forth.
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 8: Back in the eighties, those happened at very high interest rates.
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 8: But then we purposely pushed interest rates down to nothing
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 8: and kept them there for forty years. Well, look what
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 8: happened to the stock market in the eighties when all
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 8: that extra money was flowing in every week, every two weeks,
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 8: every month, however often we got paid. From then on,
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 8: money kept flowing into the stock market. Well, to me,
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 8: it'll have a similar impact in terms of every single time.
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 8: However they want to work out the structure, probably going
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 8: to be payroll based if this gets off the ground.
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 8: Right this is nothing more than a bill right now,
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 8: but there's going to be money flowing regularly into indexed
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 8: type investments, and I think it's going to be a
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 8: similar impact to what we saw back in the eighties
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 8: with all that money driving things in an upward motion.
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 8: More volatility for sure, because we're simply hanging more dollars
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 8: on the back of the stock market to support us.
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 8: But at the same time, money flowing in, think supply
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 8: and demand. More money flowing in push his prices up.
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: Indeed, appreciate your thoughtful analysis on that. In last minute there,
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 1: let's pause, we'll find out about whether or not it's
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 1: a good idea to claim social security Earth Talk Station,
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: Hey twenty nine, I think about KARCD Talk Station Brian
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: Thomas with money Monday's Brian James continuing a late topic
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: theme there social security, which we've been told by the
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: Social Security Administration, and it's twenty twenty six. Trustees report
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 1: that the federal reserve retirement Safety Net is less than
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 1: seven years away from reserve depletion. So I guess this
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 1: is leading some folks to make the conclusion that, well,
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 1: I'd be better off saying I'm going to take a
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 1: Social Security starting at age sixty two rather than wait
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 1: to collect what I would get, which is a larger
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 1: payment if I hold off retirement to sixty seven or
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: even longer than that. Think the reserves are going to
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 1: run out, So cash it in while you're going to
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 1: get one hundred percent of what you expect, or wait
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 1: till later where you might get even twenty percent benefit cut.
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: How does the math actually work out on this, Brian James.
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, let's talk about first all, how how does the
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 8: headline work out. Let's start there, because the headline is
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 8: you use the phrase reserve depletion. Yeah, and a lot
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 8: of people just heard you say, is that it's going
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 8: to go to zero, because that's just what our monkey
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 8: brains tell us. No, no, no, no, this is like the
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 8: retirement savings. You know, if you live off just the interest,
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 8: you're not depleting the reserve.
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: So yeah, right, exactly.
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah, So realistically, what happens is is the dollars flow
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 8: out of your and mine and everybody else's driving to
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 8: work listening to us. Right now everybody is we have
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 8: a top half of our PAYTTUB with something called FIICA
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 8: on it. FIKA is the taxes used to pay Social Security,
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 8: and for the most part those go from our paychecks
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 8: to Social Security current recipients. People are actually living off
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 8: of it. Right now, there's more coming off the top
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 8: half of the pay DUB than is going out to
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 8: those beneficiaries. That's the gap though, that is closing, and
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 8: as of right now, supposed to be the gap should
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 8: go away by twenty thirty one, twenty thirty two, meaning
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 8: at that time the only money we'll be able to
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 8: send to Social Security recipients will be the total dollar
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 8: amount that's coming off of those fight at taxes. There
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 8: isn't at that point, there won't be more coming in
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 8: than is going out currently. That is the case now.
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 8: People unfortunately hear that headline and what they hear, and
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 8: and honestly, I think a little bit as wishful thinking.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 8: People want to be told it's okay to go ahead
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 8: and turn on your Social Security sooner rather than later,
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 8: so they super want to go ahead and do that.
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 8: So they say, forget it, it's going to zero. I'm
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 8: just going to take it now. But really, Brian, the
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 8: map hasn't changed, right, There is still a benefit to
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 8: waiting at age sixty two. No matter what, that's still
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 8: always going to be the lowest check you'll ever see.
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 8: If you take it as soon as possible, you have
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 8: every right to do that, but it's going to be
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 8: lowest check you'll ever see. Age seventy is the biggest
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 8: check you'll ever see. Now, that doesn't mean we should
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 8: all wait till seventy. That's not a black and white rule.
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 8: You have to understand how the math works and how
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 8: it applies to your specific situation. But there is still
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 8: the same to decision to be made. If we do
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 8: absolutely nothing to change the math, then all that means
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 8: is that the benefits you're seeing on your report are
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 8: going to drop by about twenty maybe twenty five percent.
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 8: That's a chunk, but it's not zero, And that same
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 8: eight percent increase still applies every year that you wait
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 8: between sixty two and sixty seven, So you still have
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 8: the same decision to make. You got to understand how
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 8: it applies.
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 3: To your plan.
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 1: Excellent analysis on that isn't this sort of revealing that
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 1: we are living the lie? This social security really is
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 1: just a giant Ponzi scheme. You have to have enough
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 1: workers to perpetuate the money going out the door. You
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 1: got too many retirees, not enough workers. It's like Amway,
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 1: isn't it. I Mean, I don't want a diss Amway,
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: but that seems to me to be the way that
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 1: works too. You get people to work for you, they
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 1: pay you money, and you pay money to the person
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: who got you hooked up. And if there are any
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 1: people down the lower rungs actually going out and selling
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 1: the products, then the whole system falls in on itself.
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it does rely on more and more workers.
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 8: That's basically what we're seeing here there, just the way
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 8: the generations are constructed. The Baby Boom generation obviously is
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 8: in the thick of social security right now. That's the
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 8: largest generation that we've had, and then it's followed by
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 8: my generation Gen X, which is one of the smaller ones.
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 8: After that, though, become those younger generations where the math
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 8: actually starts to make a little more sense. So social
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 8: Security is absolutely not going away, and it is not
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 8: unless we've voted out of existence, right we are still
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 8: going to be paying fight A taxes unless we proactively
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 8: vote that out of existence, so there will always be
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 8: money flowing to Social Security recipients. So if you're somebody
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 8: who's looking at it saying, well, I'm planning around, it's
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 8: not going to be there, it absolutely will be there
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 8: because otherwise we literally would have to decide not to
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 8: charge those taxes. We could very well do that, who knows,
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 8: but I don't hear any grounds well for that to
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 8: be happening anytime soon. We're just assuming that, you know
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 8: that quick headline math is that that's going to zero
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 8: sooner rather than later.
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 1: Well, and there have been proposals in the past about
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 1: allowing people to have the Social Security withholdings put into
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: their own private, personally owned like a four toh one
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 1: K type our type account. And I saw an article recently.
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 1: Had we been able to do that when it was
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 1: originally proposed, the amount of money each and every American
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 1: would have compared to what they're going to get from
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 1: Social Security administration actually pretty impressive. So we missed out
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 1: on an opportunity to prepare and provide for our own
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 1: retirement without having to rely on the government to manage it.
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's true, But remember when Social Security came on
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 8: the heels of things like the Great Depression, where when
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 8: we've seen nothing but pretty much uptimes in the stock
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 8: market barring two thousand and eight twenty twenty two, all
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 8: that stuff kind of happens.
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 3: But Social Security was.
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 8: Created with the shadow of the Great Depression looming in
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 8: the rear view mirror a little bit, so people thought
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 8: a bit differently. We want a guaranteed stream of income.
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 8: We can't afford to rely on things that can bounce
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 8: up and down this much. Nowadays, though, Brian Thomas, we
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 8: lean into the things that can bounce up and dere
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 8: We love speculation, cryptocurrency and the stock market itself and
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 8: all these other fun things. That's what we're addicted to.
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 8: We don't like our guarantees so much. So I think
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 8: we're just in a different situation with a different mindset
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 8: in terms of the risks that we are willing to take.
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 8: And there's a lot of people out there who obviously
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 8: want to do the math of saying here's what we
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 8: could have had had we been allowed to invest social
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 8: security in the markets in the past, and I'm not
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 8: here to say that's wrong, but we also do not
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 8: have a situation where anybody's Social Security check ever, drops
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 8: from month to month, quarter to quarter. Somehow that would
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 8: have to be factored for when we do have those
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 8: scary markets like eight and twenty two. And I'm not
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 8: sure as a society we're ready yet to be told
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 8: that it might not be as guaranteed as we feel
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 8: like it is.
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 1: Well, or you don't do anything and you're already told
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 1: that we may get a twenty percent benefit cut. So
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 1: people weren't counting on that either. Wait a second, I've
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 1: been told for years I was going to get X amount.
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 1: That's because they didn't read the entire letter they got
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 1: from the Social Security Administration saying this is not guarantee.
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 1: This is an estimate based upon your prior earnings. You know,
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 1: wait around for it. We'll see what's left or how
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 1: the program is working when you start drawing a check.
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 1: So anyhow, well, at least since they're talking about the
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 1: idea of reform, Brian James actually maybe grabbing a hold
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 1: of the third rail because of what's what we're facing
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 1: now in terms of the uh, the potential reduction and benefits.
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 1: Maybe they might embrace something along those lines. But look
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 1: about what could have been as a mechanism to talk
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 1: about what might be in the future. Brian James for sure,
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 1: appreciate what you're doing for us every Monday with great advice,
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 1: and you know, get a financial planner. They'll save you
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 1: from yourself in many cases, that's what Brian James does.
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 1: Brian will talk again next Monday. I hope you have
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 1: a wonderful week.
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 3: You have a nice hot wa
