Speaker 1: Take your info to go.
Speaker 2: I'm listening to powered.
Speaker 1: By fifty five k r C, the talk station five
Speaker 1: O five thinky five k r C, the talk station
Speaker 1: Happy Monday.
Speaker 3: Some say.
Speaker 1: It was a vacation and that's the way the news goes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I could use a vacation from welcoming on vacation a
Speaker 1: really nice time off. And thanks to Kevin Gordon for
Speaker 1: coming for me last week early and then for the
Speaker 1: kind words came in during the Best of show. Just
Speaker 1: Tracker put together the best of program, handpicking and selecting
Speaker 1: some of the interviews, book authors, et cetera that I
Speaker 1: had done and I came in and were so emails saying, Oh,
Speaker 1: it's so refreshing and wonderful, and where on the hell
Speaker 1: is the list of all the books of the authors
Speaker 1: that you talk to, because it can easily find you
Speaker 1: got to go through. You got to kind of back
Speaker 1: scroll through the various podcast pages on fifty five cars
Speaker 1: dot com to do that. Let us see here hope
Speaker 1: Jostracker had as good of Thanksgiving as I did. Took
Speaker 1: a break from the diet, had an awesome time to
Speaker 1: ask the rhetorical question because the CONPI get you high.
Speaker 1: I think the answer is a definitively yes. After one
Speaker 1: month without any process sugar at all in my diet, yes,
Speaker 1: I had some and it was off the charts amazing everything.
Speaker 1: And then Brian Ibel from the Help Squad, who can
Speaker 1: always use your help. You want to help folks out
Speaker 1: on the west side or truly on life's margins, the
Speaker 1: Help Squad is the place to make a donation. I
Speaker 1: saw him post on my response to my Facebook post
Speaker 1: asking if the COMPI can get you high? Where did
Speaker 1: you buy the pecan pie? Asking for a friend, and
Speaker 1: it was like, Bye, what are you talking about? He
Speaker 1: clearly has no concept of who I married the best
Speaker 1: pie crust maker on the planet and everything goes into
Speaker 1: the pie. My wife drops to my dear wife, she
Speaker 1: does have a true high level skill set when it
Speaker 1: comes to making pie. Oh my god, it was so good. Anyway,
Speaker 1: always this and Monday's always good. Here in the fifty
Speaker 1: five Kurssey Morning Show, because we get talked to the
Speaker 1: former vice mayor of the city. Since St. Christopher's Smitherman
Speaker 1: Christopher will join us at seven twenty, we'll get his
Speaker 1: reaction to Joe Biden partening his son Hunters that come
Speaker 1: as a surprise to anybody out there. Oh, oh, you
Speaker 1: believe Joe Biden when he said he would never pardon
Speaker 1: his son if you could roll back the clock a
Speaker 1: year ago, when I think the first time he made
Speaker 1: that kind of statement, and you had an opportunity to
Speaker 1: put fifty bucks down, one hundred dollars down on a bet.
Speaker 1: Would you love bet that Joe Biden was going to
Speaker 1: pardon Hunter Biden? Or would you have believed Joe Biden
Speaker 1: when he said, I won't do it, just asking no
Speaker 1: from beyond my father? Chiming in, miss your dad, miss
Speaker 1: you so much money Monday Brian James after Christopher Smith
Speaker 1: been in money Monday, Brian James always at eight o't
Speaker 1: five year in the Morning Show. Why are people moving south? Well,
Speaker 1: maybe because it's nineteen blanking degrees out right now. Uh
Speaker 1: strong recommendation from Brian Thomas where a jacket companies are
Speaker 1: scanaling back on DEI. More and more are the racket
Speaker 1: that is DEI. You think of all the college educations
Speaker 1: that the diplomas that have been issued in the name
Speaker 1: of woke ideology and related ideological concepts. They had to
Speaker 1: go out into the world and find a job guess what,
Speaker 1: There weren't any, So what do they do? They created them. Ah,
Speaker 1: we have a new DEI department here at college. We're
Speaker 1: gonna hire fifty people. Director is going to be paid
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand dollars. Then you find out they don't
Speaker 1: accomplish anything except violate the law by having specific mandates
Speaker 1: on the number of people of any given particular skin color,
Speaker 1: regardless of marriage. Mind you, it's just wait a second.
Speaker 1: Are there x number of Asians? Are there X number
Speaker 1: of white people? Are there x number of black people?
Speaker 1: The answer is no in any of the foregoing then
Speaker 1: we're going to hire them, even though someone else in
Speaker 1: a different skin color is more eminently qualified for the job.
Speaker 1: This isn't good for business, and of course when you're
Speaker 1: doing DEI and woke investing, it is not good for
Speaker 1: your portfolio. You're looking for a high return on investment
Speaker 1: for your investment dollar. That is a sheer violation of
Speaker 1: the fiduciary obligations that investors have to you to maximize
Speaker 1: the return on your investment so you can maybe a
Speaker 1: Ford to eight eight During retirement, they start investing in
Speaker 1: companies just because they are woke. That doesn't mean this
Speaker 1: company is going to make any money. Hell, was a
Speaker 1: poor business decision to create the whole DEEI department in
Speaker 1: your company anyway, because it will It is not a
Speaker 1: generator of income. I worked in legal departments at companies
Speaker 1: like Anthem, for example. Do you think the legal department
Speaker 1: generates income? No, of course it doesn't. It's a lost leader.
Speaker 1: That is pure profit eating. Now, you can improve your
Speaker 1: business's bottom line depending on how the outcome of any
Speaker 1: given case, but generally speaking, lawyers are legal department isn't
Speaker 1: making money, and the EI department isn't making money either,
Speaker 1: just sucking a life out of companies. Anyway, we'll se
Speaker 1: where Brian has to go on that. Well, we not
Speaker 1: a bit of a tear on that. Why no more
Speaker 1: than sixty percent of your retirement should be in stocks.
Speaker 1: And finally, this Black Friday broke sales records. You probably
Speaker 1: heard that top of the Iron News questions just sort
Speaker 1: of out loud, rhetorically speaking, will there even be brick
Speaker 1: and mortar stores maybe five or ten years from now?
Speaker 1: Just kind of thinking out loud anyway. Five three eight
Speaker 1: hundred eighty two to three Taco top five fifty on
Speaker 1: at and T phones. Maybe you have something you want
Speaker 1: to talk about. I just in reviewing the fact that
Speaker 1: President Biden did, in fact pardon his son Hunter Biden
Speaker 1: yes yesterday, wiped away his criminal convictions, and probably I
Speaker 1: think it's a bigger pardon. I think I read one
Speaker 1: of the articles talking about a more in scope and
Speaker 1: breath than the parton that Ford gave Nixon. This is
Speaker 1: ten years worth of anything that he did, whether you
Speaker 1: and I knew about it or not. I mean, he
Speaker 1: was convicted. He was convicted for lying on his FFL
Speaker 1: firearms for him, he pleaded guilty to tax evasion, pleaded guilty.
Speaker 1: He didn't even fight that one. To save them. Well,
Speaker 1: I suppose himself as father and all the other corrupt
Speaker 1: individuals in the background, the embarrassment of having the facts
Speaker 1: come out at trial regarding his tax evasion not anymore,
Speaker 1: and then whatever else was in the background. Notably that
Speaker 1: this pardon goes back to twenty fourteen, that includes his
Speaker 1: time while he was working for Barissima. Remember Barissma Ukrainian
Speaker 1: gas company. You remember that, don't you. Wow, that's all
Speaker 1: been forgiven too, So don't sweat a bit, don't sweat it.
Speaker 1: The sun was said to appear for sentencing hearings later
Speaker 1: this month in Delaware and California, where the potential for
Speaker 1: lengthy prison times was there. But no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: He had been singled out only because he is my son,
Speaker 1: and that is wrong. So saith the president of the
Speaker 1: United States of America. He still is, by the way.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people forget that. Joe Biden
Speaker 1: still commander in chief. In fact, I liked that some
Speaker 1: Democrats were critical of the pardon. Colorad Governor Jared Paulus
Speaker 1: said the president put his family ahead of the country
Speaker 1: instead of bad precedent that could be abused by LA presidents. Ooh,
Speaker 1: I knew they gave Donald Trump a hard time for
Speaker 1: the pardons, that he had issued a present of Greg
Speaker 1: stand out of Democratic out of Arizona. I respect President Biden,
Speaker 1: but I think he got this one wrong. This wasn't
Speaker 1: a politically motivated prosecution. Hunter Biden committed felonies. It was
Speaker 1: convicted by a jury of his peers. Oh yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: Fell guilty earlier this year, and charges he lied about
Speaker 1: his drug use in a federal form he completed as
Speaker 1: part of his twenty eighteen gun purchase. I love that one.
Speaker 1: And when they talk about this, the Dems do and
Speaker 1: Biden's nobody would have ever he prosecuted for that. Wait, no, no,
Speaker 1: but he was treated. Now he's different. Lying on an
Speaker 1: FFL form. How everybody does it all the time and
Speaker 1: nobody's going to go to jail for that all? Really? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I believe Joe Biden when he said he wasn't going
Speaker 1: to pardon his son. Oh, he just pardoned his son.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I believe the federal government when a spokesperson like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, the commander in chief the United States
Speaker 1: of America, the leader of the free world, says, ah,
Speaker 1: nobody ever gets rescuing for lying on an FFL form.
Speaker 1: Head on over to your favorite gun store. Lie on
Speaker 1: the form. Find out what will happen to you. I
Speaker 1: guarantee it won't be pretty, most notably because they know
Speaker 1: what political affiliation you have. Oh yeah, forgot about that too, Yes,
Speaker 1: you too have a dossier out there in digital form,
Speaker 1: so lying on the federal form. And then several months later,
Speaker 1: just as his trial on tax charges was getting readed,
Speaker 1: a kickoff in Los Angeles and that's when he pleaded guilty.
Speaker 1: And that was the point of pleading guilty was to
Speaker 1: well to keep the evidence of reality from the American people,
Speaker 1: the what some refer to and not kindly, as the
Speaker 1: Biden crime family prosecutors pointed out, bidennovated taxes by claiming
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of dollars in false deductions, including you
Speaker 1: remember that, writing off payments for hookers, dancers, a sex
Speaker 1: club membership, his daughter's law school tuition, all business expenses,
Speaker 1: all of them. They treated him differently. It was law
Speaker 1: there waged against my son, Hunter Biden Ergo, I'm pardoning.
Speaker 1: His full statement on the matter is just side splittingly comical.
Speaker 1: Five fifteen fifty five car City dok Station John. I
Speaker 1: just looked up. You are going to be first, as
Speaker 1: long as you don't mind hold it just for a
Speaker 1: few minutes here, gotta take quick Greg for some brief words.
Speaker 1: I'll be right back.
Speaker 2: They don't just want to control our healthcare, live to
Speaker 2: control our children's minds through their education. Loud, We have
Speaker 2: to fight to take America back and.
Speaker 1: Logo, you have the luxury of giving your opinion. It's
Speaker 1: just being neighborly. Yeah, I've a good agree with the
Speaker 1: whole hard like of course most.
Speaker 4: Of the time, bring it back to what the founding
Speaker 4: bought is believed in that individual whippie and the individual
Speaker 4: responsibility that goes with.

Speaker 1: to your health five eighteen, coming up at five nineteen
Speaker 1: on a Monday, Like it or not five one, eight
Speaker 1: hundred and eight two to three talk with Pound five
Speaker 1: fifty on eight and T phones and thanks for holding John.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the program, and happy Monday to you. Happy Monday, Brian,
Speaker 1: and good morning to you.
Speaker 4: Hey.
Speaker 5: I wanted to get in real quick before we got
Speaker 5: busy here at work. I wanted to start your week off.
Speaker 5: And I'm just calling in to thank you man. Thank
Speaker 5: you for your show and what you and Joe put
Speaker 5: together and what you guys do for us out here.
Speaker 5: It's really more of a service. I just really appreciate it.
Speaker 5: I got the iHeartRadio app years ago because I do
Speaker 5: a lot of traveling for work and construction. So I
Speaker 5: can listen to your show every morning, and I don't
Speaker 5: care what city I've been in other shows, there's just
Speaker 5: none to compare to your your show.
Speaker 4: The way you.
Speaker 5: Incorporate the national scene with the local stuff. That's important
Speaker 5: to everybody down there Cincinnati and your guest and a
Speaker 5: couple examples.
Speaker 1: Years ago.
Speaker 5: As a kid, I remember the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire,
Speaker 5: but growing up, it wasn't like that was a big
Speaker 5: thing that I read about. But I don't know, six
Speaker 5: seven years ago, and you've had him on a couple
Speaker 5: of times. But the guy that wrote the book, I
Speaker 5: was listening to your interview one day and I was
Speaker 5: so engrossed. I went out and I bought the guy's book,
Speaker 5: and then I watched up all the YouTube documentaries and
Speaker 5: it was just so enlightening, and you know, learning about
Speaker 5: the mob connections down there and everything. It was just,
Speaker 5: you know, a really neat thing. And then more recently,
Speaker 5: a couple of months ago, my wife decided, Hey, we
Speaker 5: need a couple area. Rugs, Oh, yeah, that add to
Speaker 5: the great room.
Speaker 4: That'd be nice.
Speaker 5: Well, one of the cats decided that he thought that
Speaker 5: was a good idea too. So I'm really stressing out
Speaker 5: and I'm like I can't deal with this, and we're
Speaker 5: talking about what we're going to do, and then it
Speaker 5: hit me, I'm like, all these years I've been listening
Speaker 5: to Brian, let's try that odor exit stuff and I'm
Speaker 5: telling you what, man, that stuff is like magic and
Speaker 5: a bottle. It's unbelievable. It does, man, And so you
Speaker 5: know you don't. You haven't sold yourself out. Whether it's
Speaker 5: the car repair, the rooking guys, you know their products
Speaker 5: that you've used.
Speaker 4: You don't steer us wrong.
Speaker 5: So I just wanted to start your week off.
Speaker 4: I just thanking you.
Speaker 5: And one day I'm going to take a day off
Speaker 5: so I can make it to your your listener lunch
Speaker 5: because I want to shake your hand, not as a
Speaker 5: radio personality, but as a friend and a guy that
Speaker 5: I admire most importantly, a guy that I appreciate because
Speaker 5: what you do for us is it's such such an
Speaker 5: incredible service. And whenever you do decide to hang that
Speaker 5: mic up, it's going to be a sad, sad day
Speaker 5: in Cincinnati because we need to appreciate who you are
Speaker 5: and what you do for us. So you have a
Speaker 5: great week. I hope you've got a great holiday.
Speaker 1: Brian.
Speaker 5: We love you to death, brother, and uh we listen
Speaker 5: to you every morning.
Speaker 1: Made month man. That was the nicest thing. God, God
Speaker 1: bless you. He brought a tear to my eye. I'm
Speaker 1: having an analogy attack. Truly, truly, from the bottom of
Speaker 1: my heart, I appreciate that I consider every one of
Speaker 1: my listeners a friend. I don't. I hate the idea
Speaker 1: of celebrity, and that's why I don't do social media
Speaker 1: and get out there and sort of Hey, by the way,
Speaker 1: I'm having this for dinner. Take a look. And I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just you know, just a guy, just
Speaker 1: a guy trying to make sense of life. And I
Speaker 1: appreciate that you find some some benefit from the content
Speaker 1: I talk about. And I always appreciate Jo Strekker for
Speaker 1: getting this great guests lined up because I'm you. I
Speaker 1: put myself a position of if I don't know anything
Speaker 1: about this guy, what this person's talking about, what's the
Speaker 1: book about? What would what would anybody else ask? Where?
Speaker 6: Where?
Speaker 1: Are they inquisitive? The who?
Speaker 7: What?
Speaker 1: Where? Why? And when? I just try to do my
Speaker 1: best to answer those questions because I need to know
Speaker 1: the answers myself. So it's wonderful being in a position
Speaker 1: to talk about this. And you know, over the years,
Speaker 1: I met folks like you, and it just man, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what what you said today that's going to
Speaker 1: help me get out of bed on those tough days
Speaker 1: when the alarm goes off at two thirty and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: and the world seems to be burning around us. God
Speaker 1: bless you. I really appreciate it, Mike. Thanks for calling
Speaker 1: this morning, and happy Monday to you.
Speaker 4: Oh my pleasure. Brian.
Speaker 1: I like to wish you in yours.
Speaker 4: Happy holidays, Brian.
Speaker 1: They're already off to a great start. I sure appreciated
Speaker 1: pyle on man.
Speaker 6: Brian.
Speaker 8: Look this is me and I know, oh boy, most
Speaker 8: people are going to disagree with this. I have no
Speaker 8: use for Biden, no use at all, but I would
Speaker 8: have personally I would have had less use for him
Speaker 8: if he wouldn't have pardoned his son. I know he's
Speaker 8: a bold face liar, he's this, that and the other,
Speaker 8: But as far as the sun goes, I don't blame him.
Speaker 4: Brian, Happy holiday.
Speaker 1: Thanks appreciate it, Mike, and I hear where you're coming from.
Speaker 1: But you know, it's like Bill Clinton waving his finger.
Speaker 1: I did not have sex with that woman. Why did
Speaker 1: he even bother lyon in the first place? And if
Speaker 1: you're Joe Biden, you were, Yes, he's your son. The
Speaker 1: kids got all kinds of problems. I'll be standing in
Speaker 1: the shadow of Bull Biden and all the success that
Speaker 1: he had. Here there's you know, poor Hunter over in
Speaker 1: the background, you know, never getting any attention. Massive drug abuser,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, how many hookers did that guy
Speaker 1: go through in his life? How much crack did he smoke?
Speaker 1: Terrible example of a father, on and on and on
Speaker 1: and on. But you know what, he's got a dad,
Speaker 1: and dad's quite often er enablers of that type of behavior,
Speaker 1: willing to overlook it or do everything they can in
Speaker 1: their power to help them get rehabilitated, which I don't
Speaker 1: doubt that they tried over the years, and apparently the
Speaker 1: guy's been sober now for five years. Bully for him.
Speaker 1: Hope he loves the rest of his life. But why
Speaker 1: why would he have said early on in this process,
Speaker 1: I will not and I will not and I will
Speaker 1: not over and over again he direct me out of
Speaker 1: his mouth or through cream, Jean Pierre will not prosecure
Speaker 1: a pardon my son. He knew in the back of
Speaker 1: my mind he probably was going to be pardoning his son.
Speaker 1: I think he wanted to see how things shake out.
Speaker 1: Guess what they didn't shake out real well. He was
Speaker 1: convicted and then pled guilty, convicted of the firearms charges,
Speaker 1: pled guilty to the tax evasion charges. So there he
Speaker 1: is stuck with his own prior pronouncements, and then of
Speaker 1: course giving everybody the opportunity to reflect back on him
Speaker 1: and say, look, Joe Biden lie to you again. So
Speaker 1: he should have kept his mouth shut in the first place.
Speaker 1: Maybe something along the lines of I'm going to wait
Speaker 1: to see how this shakes out. But as a father
Speaker 1: and as a forgiving man, in the name of Christian
Speaker 1: principles of forgiveness, I can see myself at least considering it.
Speaker 1: At least considering it.
Speaker 5: Keep your stupid mouth shut.
Speaker 1: See words of wisdom for my heart MEATIA Aviation expert
Speaker 1: Jay Rattler, Thank you just Drecker for putting an exclamation
Speaker 1: point on that five twenty five. I mean, if I'm
Speaker 1: curious to the detoxation, local stories or more of your
Speaker 1: phone calls, which I obviously prefer rather talk to you
Speaker 1: than hear the sound of my own voice. But got
Speaker 1: interesting things going on in the news, and we'll get
Speaker 1: to that. I hope you can stick around. You're right back.
Speaker 9: This is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio station h.
Speaker 1: Zug crappy one to you, and yes it does feel
Speaker 1: like nineteen degrees. Walk out there and hit you like
Speaker 1: a sledgehammer. At least that was my experience this morning. Normally,
Speaker 1: don't even put a jacket on because my car's in
Speaker 1: my garage. I walk out of my house and get
Speaker 1: in the cart and they come to the parking garage.
Speaker 1: I got like twenty feet to walk inside of the door.
Speaker 1: We're going to open that car door this morning. That's
Speaker 1: twenty feet with the wind blowing. Ooh, so put a
Speaker 1: jacket on your up, a little bit of asshle. It's
Speaker 1: over to the phones and sealed. But Evescot this morning,
Speaker 1: Happy Monday. Thanks for calling the program. Hello, Yes, welcome
Speaker 1: to the program.
Speaker 3: Oh thank you. This is bud It. Somebody just call
Speaker 3: you and let you know about many thanks how you
Speaker 3: help them with with odor exit. I thanks like that.
Speaker 3: So I want to add to that. Over the years
Speaker 3: since you started, I've been listening to you since you
Speaker 3: started on the radio, and one thing I can say
Speaker 3: is that most of the time you are right. I
Speaker 3: remember when you predicted that Joe Biden will not be
Speaker 3: the candidate this year. I'm one of those that I said,
Speaker 3: you are, you would be wrong, but eventually, eventually you're right,
Speaker 3: so I give you the credit. So one thing that
Speaker 3: confused me. We're talk about Jodge Soro all the time. Yes,
Speaker 3: an honest one. Why don't we have donors that are
Speaker 3: Republican donors that can actually donate money just like Jodge
Speaker 3: Soro don it to be used for the benefit of
Speaker 3: projecting certain things that they are publican believe. And that
Speaker 3: is one thing. The second thing I wanted to ask
Speaker 3: you is why isn't it that whenever the Democrat moved somewhere,
Speaker 3: Republicans or this rock and I remember when I thought
Speaker 3: moved to Cincinnati, the Democrats are not dominating, the are
Speaker 3: the Hamilton County. But now all these three sleep uh
Speaker 3: conventioners our Democrat Yes, why why is it that I want.
Speaker 1: To You know what I would love with I would
Speaker 1: love to know the answer that question. The reality that
Speaker 1: I mean, I've watched I've watched this over my whole life.
Speaker 1: I mean I've talked like, for example, Ken Blackwell, Conservative
Speaker 1: Ken Blackwell was the mayor of the city of Cincinnati
Speaker 1: at one point. I remember a guy named Eugene Roman
Speaker 1: Never He's a neighbor of mine, the Roman family, wonderful folks,
Speaker 1: really conservative. He was the mayor's of Cincinnati back in
Speaker 1: the seventies at one point. Slowly, over time the Democrats
Speaker 1: have taken over. Now, maybe it's population shifts, maybe more
Speaker 1: and more as you've looked over the decades, it's taken
Speaker 1: from Hamilton County to go from really solid red to
Speaker 1: completely blue. There have been a lot of developments in
Speaker 1: these suburbs and the exuburbs and whatever you want to
Speaker 1: call it. Claremont County has gotten bigger Warren County. Everybody
Speaker 1: in Hamilton County seems to have moved to Warren County
Speaker 1: that it was of a conservative ilk. You've got Butler County,
Speaker 1: which is far more conservative. I think what happened is,
Speaker 1: you know, as you have this leftward shift in the
Speaker 1: in city politics, which was slow, it affected the well
Speaker 1: outskirts of the city, which is the right Hamilton County.
Speaker 1: Hamilton County folks. They get like maybe the property or
Speaker 1: the rather crime went up, Maybe the roads weren't being
Speaker 1: taken care of. Maybe there are a couple of administrations
Speaker 1: that just were epic failures. I don't know. I can
Speaker 1: go back over a number of mayors of the city,
Speaker 1: and they didn't exactly do the residents of the city
Speaker 1: any help. But every time you got something like that happened,
Speaker 1: more and more people consider moving out. In fact, my
Speaker 1: friend my wife said that right after what looking with
Speaker 1: the outcome of the Hamilton County election was here most
Speaker 1: recently in November, it was like the first words out
Speaker 1: of her mouth, let's move out of Hamilton County, you
Speaker 1: know that, And on so many levels she was serious.
Speaker 1: But that's people's response. So you get all the conservative
Speaker 1: mind of individuals and all the you know, the folks
Speaker 1: that would you know, vote for some sanity or some
Speaker 1: at least appropriate prioritization of the use attacks. Now I'm leaving,
Speaker 1: go ahead and ask the friends of my friends over
Speaker 1: in Anderson Township how they like being well inundated by
Speaker 1: all the leftists coming over there. I've heard from former
Speaker 1: Anderson Township Commissioner Drew Pappus on that a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of times. Hey, get to the point where, well, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm leaving Anderson and I'm going out to
Speaker 1: wherever to get away from it. You know, back in
Speaker 1: the old day, in racist times, it was called white
Speaker 1: flight right now. Bottom line is it's just simple flight
Speaker 1: of people that have conservative ideology and know white people
Speaker 1: are not the sole carriers of conservative ideology. Look at
Speaker 1: the most recent election, we made some great inroads in
Speaker 1: many minority communities. Why because people look at the Democrats
Speaker 1: as completely backcrap, insane, who gets rid of police departments
Speaker 1: and who lets felons on the street, not Republicans, not
Speaker 1: people concerned about their communities of whatever political stripe, And
Speaker 1: it's backfired on him. So all we can hope is
Speaker 1: that over time the pendulum will swing. As my friend
Speaker 1: Mississippi James likes to observe during his lifetime, I've seen
Speaker 1: the pendulum swing this way, and I've seen it backswing
Speaker 1: the other way. We're in maybe a pendulum swing in
Speaker 1: a more sane direction. A lot of people would disagree
Speaker 1: with me on that, because well, Trump evil orange man,
Speaker 1: but you know what, a lot of other people joined
Speaker 1: the bandwagon, got the coattails, and now our positions to
Speaker 1: change the direct Maybe that change can come back to
Speaker 1: Hamilton County. And and yes, I know that'll let statement
Speaker 1: right there elicited laughter among a lot of people, but
Speaker 1: you can see why it can shift that way. Look
Speaker 1: what's happening right now? I just saw yet another article
Speaker 1: about the mass exodus of people from New York and
Speaker 1: mass exodus of people from California. Why because the policies
Speaker 1: don't work and they're running away. The place is like
Speaker 1: well like Hamilton County used to be back when it
Speaker 1: thread And with that, you can see the pendulum swinging
Speaker 1: toward the blue as they enter and move into those
Speaker 1: conservative areas. And I hope it doesn't happen. I appreciate
Speaker 1: the call, my friend five thirty five. If i've care
Speaker 1: see de talk station, and I will ignote although you
Speaker 1: acknowledge that sometimes I get it right, I miscall it
Speaker 1: from time to time as well. I'm happy to admit
Speaker 1: that because everybody makes mistakes. Stick Grett, I've got plenty
Speaker 1: to talk about. Especially stack is stupid. If you don't
Speaker 1: want to engage in a conversation, that's okay. We can
Speaker 1: die money into the stupid. I'll be right back.
Speaker 9: This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 1: What's up, y'all. It's Ken Monday, and a happy one
Speaker 1: to you to the caller who called was so kind
Speaker 1: and his words and learned about the Beverly Hills to
Speaker 1: supper Club Fire from this guy that wrote the one
Speaker 1: book on I just wanted to remind you since I
Speaker 1: had Peter Bronson on last week, he's got a brand
Speaker 1: new book out if you didn't read Forbidden Fruit since
Speaker 1: Cities Underworld and the supper Club Inferno, that is a
Speaker 1: wonderful companion piece to the other book that I believe
Speaker 1: you're referring about the Beverly Hills supper Club Fire. So anyway,
Speaker 1: he's got to write a new book, Promised Land, How
Speaker 1: the Midwest was one. Interviewed him a full hour in
Speaker 1: studio with He's just a brilliant guy and writes great book.
Speaker 1: Just some Christmas press and options for you out there
Speaker 1: from a local author about well matters local It's cool
Speaker 1: over to the stack of Stupid and yeah, I think
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to give an award out right out
Speaker 1: of the gate here, Joe, we got a Texas daycare
Speaker 1: worker former CATHERINEQE. Gouziche.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 1: You helped me out on this one, gus z I
Speaker 1: e Jka Smith there. Thanks, Joe. Seems like I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's missing consonants or vowels. Anyway, Guziachka, forty
Speaker 1: four years old, working at the Punkin Doodles Daycare in Lindell, Texas.
Speaker 1: Police were alerted to her alleged abused abusing of children's
Speaker 1: by the father of one of the alleged victims. He'd
Speaker 1: been told about the assaults by another employee of the
Speaker 1: daycare who saw surveillance footage of the abuse. According to
Speaker 1: the New York Post, reporting sheriff claimed Gauzich got caught
Speaker 1: on film kicking the six children on one hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty four separate occasions kicking. She remains in custody and
Speaker 1: has been since October thirty three, reth arrest on six
Speaker 1: counts of injury to a child with the intent to
Speaker 1: cause bodily harm. Kicks dealt over the court some several
Speaker 1: months between July and October. One portion of the footage,
Speaker 1: she can be seen kicking a defenseless two year old
Speaker 1: boy in his lower back while he was laying on
Speaker 1: the floor. Footage also reportully show her yanking on toddler's
Speaker 1: from their naptime beds. You think that's enough. There's no
Speaker 1: big a douche than you standing on some of the
Speaker 1: toddler's hands as a form of punishment. Dumb, good going, Doude,
Speaker 1: your dreams.
Speaker 3: Have come true?
Speaker 1: Oh my word, Well, I just have to wonder out loud, Joe,
Speaker 1: because let's face it, you know, if this was a
Speaker 1: man in a man's prison and it was determined that
Speaker 1: his other inmates found out that he was committing these
Speaker 1: kinds of acts of abuse on two year old children,
Speaker 1: it wouldn't work out really well for that guy. Question
Speaker 1: would it be worse for a woman in a woman's
Speaker 1: prison having committed heinous acts like this? Am I allowed
Speaker 1: to say? I hope? So who can argue with that?
Speaker 1: Now here's the stuff of nightmares for some people over
Speaker 1: in India. The Logical Indian Reporting that's the name of
Speaker 1: the newspaper, so you know, jaring to keep the John
Speaker 1: Desiahs skepticism alive and well for international news reports along
Speaker 1: these lines. Anyway, he was nearly cremated alive in India
Speaker 1: after three doctors mistakenly declared him dead. Twenty five year
Speaker 1: old Roe tash Kumar neatly rushed back to the hospital
Speaker 1: in Rajasthan, India after waking up on the funeral pire.
Speaker 1: He then ultimately died a day later from the condition
Speaker 1: that initially hospitalized and he described as death and m
Speaker 1: You'd been staying at a home for the metal impaired,
Speaker 1: began experiencing epileptic seizures. Taken to the hospital after seemingly
Speaker 1: so coming to his his condition, three doctors said he's dead.
Speaker 10: I'm not sad.
Speaker 1: Without conducting a proper post mortem examination anyway, I spent
Speaker 1: three hours prior to his near cremation in freezing in
Speaker 1: a freezing cold morgue, according to the UK Daily Mail reporting.
Speaker 1: Footage obtained by the Mail reportedly shows him in the
Speaker 1: catatonic state just prior to waking up. Health Department currently
Speaker 1: investigating the three doctors at the BDK hospital. Yeah, forty five.
Speaker 1: I think that's the caskets that they used to have
Speaker 1: in the old days that had the little bell on them,
Speaker 1: just in case you know, you'll woke up. In the casket,
Speaker 1: you can let people know that I'm not dead yet.

Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm gonna laugh at this one accidentally shot
Speaker 1: his sixteen year old accomplice as they tried to carjack
Speaker 1: a guy this last month. I can't believe I drew
Speaker 1: that red card from EU Strekker. What for carjack phrasing?
Speaker 1: Is that what they're calling it these days? Going to place,
Speaker 1: teenagers approached a seventy three year old who was sitting
Speaker 1: in a park car, pointing a gun at him and
Speaker 1: demanded his keys. The man threw his keys in a
Speaker 1: nearby open field. The man in the fourteen year old,
Speaker 1: who was holding the gun, then got into a struggle,
Speaker 1: during which the teenager fired the gun, shooting the sixteen
Speaker 1: year old in the legs. Plural idiots things because they're idiots.
Speaker 1: Sixteen year old taken to the hospital. Fourteen year old
Speaker 1: taken it to custody. Seventy three year old man suffered
Speaker 1: only minor injuries and did refuse medical attention. Instant karma. Okay,
Speaker 1: it is the stack of stupid. This seems to be
Speaker 1: the stupidest headline of the rest of the mix. Go
Speaker 1: to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Got one man dead and another
Speaker 1: detained after his wife's city was shot in killed in
Speaker 1: a dispute over loud music in Florida on Thanksgiving. Do
Speaker 1: what the hell let us see here? Rose McLean says
Speaker 1: in agony after his seventy two year old husband, Hurley
Speaker 1: Hurley On McLean, was gunned down outside their apartment. You
Speaker 1: said it happened after a minor dispute with a neighbor,
Speaker 1: rows in the interview. He was just playing his music
Speaker 1: today and a guy said he was playing at two louds,
Speaker 1: So my husband went down to went down there to him.
Speaker 1: Moments later, she said she heard a fatal shot. I
Speaker 1: was inside my chain and changing my clothes and I
Speaker 1: hear a gun shot boom, So I ran outside because
Speaker 1: I knew my husband went outside, and that's when I
Speaker 1: go outside and saw him on the floor. Shot the
Speaker 1: man with the gun then threatened her as well. He
Speaker 1: was being very violent because I was saying, why did
Speaker 1: you shoot my husband? Why are you doing that? He
Speaker 1: said to me, and just shut your mouth. Hell shoot
Speaker 1: me too. I don't even know what that means. Anyway.
Speaker 1: Pastor apparently tried to comfort them, pointing out is a
Speaker 1: difficult task on the day to give thanks and celebrate family.
Speaker 1: No kidding, and let's see here Florida man, but stay
Speaker 1: in Florida for this one. Under arrest for two separate
Speaker 1: thefts occurring within fifteen minutes of each other. Andrew Silester,
Speaker 1: forty two now cues the two county Fellony retail thefts
Speaker 1: Court of the press release is see by the Pole
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's device. In each instance, the defender allegedly stole
Speaker 1: several hundred dollars worth of products from the exact same
Speaker 1: public supermarket in central Florida. Court to poke shoff, Sheriff
Speaker 1: Grady Judge Sylvester tried to steal not one, but two
Speaker 1: carts full of groceries from public well shopping where shopping
Speaker 1: is a pleasure. How do you like that little plug?
Speaker 1: From the Pole County Sheriff, And he used that in
Speaker 1: a commercial for publics. That's start landing him in the
Speaker 1: county jail, where assisting criminals is our pleasure. He followed
Speaker 1: up on Frazy Joe whove ever twelt. Deputy's called it
Speaker 1: the grocery store Route ninety eight in Lakeland, public supermarket
Speaker 1: chain employee owned, operates through a majority of southeastern United States.
Speaker 1: You haven't been to Florida. You haven't seen the publics.
Speaker 1: When deputies arrived, they located Andrew outside of the store
Speaker 1: with a shopping cart full of groceries that he had
Speaker 1: not paid for. Ord to the statement from the sheriff's
Speaker 1: value of the items two undred and forty three dollars
Speaker 1: ninety two cents. Storreploy allegedly said the defendant had pulled
Speaker 1: off a similar caper less than fifteen minutes earlier and
Speaker 1: then just came back to do it again. Idiots doing
Speaker 1: idiot things because they're idiots. Value of the items in
Speaker 1: the initial cart that he stole two hundred and six
Speaker 1: dollars and ten cents. Ergo, he's alleged to attempted to
Speaker 1: steal a combined total items valued at two cents over
Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty dollars. I don't know if four
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars is critical under Florida law, but
Speaker 1: that's the number, sheriff said. We tried to talk to him,
Speaker 1: he wouldn't talk back. Sarah suggested the case of the defendant
Speaker 1: was beyond dispute because store surveillance footage showing Sylvester walking
Speaker 1: in and out with two buggies full of stolen property.
Speaker 1: Retail theft in Florida criminalized at the basic level, considered
Speaker 1: a phony in a third degree, punishable by a prison
Speaker 1: term of up to five years. In the defendant's case,
Speaker 1: two theft defenses pere likely to come with the potential
Speaker 1: for an extended term of imprisonment two separate, unrelated offenses.
Speaker 1: I'm going to agree with the assessment from the reporter
Speaker 1: on this one. Thank you, too long. Crime dot Com

Speaker 1: it for a day or two, that was just so glorious.
Speaker 1: You have no idea how good that felt. Well, if
Speaker 1: you ever been on Keto, you know how much the

Speaker 1: know that Thanksgiving feast was amazing. Thank you to every

Speaker 1: Hope you can say as much I hope you can
Speaker 1: call in. So you've got a couple of callers on
Speaker 1: line five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five, eight
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two to three talk pound five fifty
Speaker 1: on AT and T phones, And Maureen, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm I'm going with. I think you may be onto something.
Speaker 1: It's not her idea conceptually, but I opened up the
Speaker 1: morning show talking about President Biden, yes, pardoning his son,
Speaker 1: and whether you think that's aokay or not, he does
Speaker 1: have the power presidential parts. But he said over and
Speaker 1: over again, through his own words and through his White
Speaker 1: House spokespersons, including Kring Jean Pierre, that he was not
Speaker 1: going to pardon his son, his son who was convicted
Speaker 1: by a jury in the firearms charge and who admitted
Speaker 1: his guilt in connection with the tax evasion charges. He
Speaker 1: copped a plea guilty as charged, and that was in
Speaker 1: order to avoid a very scandalous trial that might have,
Speaker 1: you know, sort of revealed some of the more broader
Speaker 1: and perhaps deeper and darker secrets of the Biden crime family.
Speaker 1: But whatever Biden previously said, I'm not going to do it,
Speaker 1: and then you know, he goes he does it. So
Speaker 1: that's the part that really irks me. And as I
Speaker 1: said in the last hour, you know, heads your bets
Speaker 1: before you make some grandiose statement. I will never ever ever,
Speaker 1: you know, it's always nice to say, you know what,
Speaker 1: unless someone can convince me a good reason otherwise or whatever.
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm gonna see how the thing plays
Speaker 1: out with my son. My son's obviously got a heapload
Speaker 1: of problems. I'm not inclined right now to say I'm
Speaker 1: gonna pardon him, but you know what, I'm president of
Speaker 1: the United States of America. Leave that option open. Some
Speaker 1: people would have screened up there you go. You know
Speaker 1: he's gonna pardon them, But at least he would have
Speaker 1: had some measure of credibility to extend. Biden has any
Speaker 1: credibility left. Now you look back on him and say, well,
Speaker 1: you're a damn liar. Like Bill Clinton waved his finger,
Speaker 1: I did not have sex with that woman. If he
Speaker 1: didn't say that, you know what I've said before, and
Speaker 1: I say it again, I think I would have given
Speaker 1: the guy a pass. I'm a man. I'm a man
Speaker 1: who could never, under any circumstances be married to a
Speaker 1: woman like Hillary Clinton. For a multitude of reasons, not
Speaker 1: the least of which I don't find her sexually attractive
Speaker 1: at all. But you know what, that's a political marriage,
Speaker 1: if that's their arrangement, whatever, But don't lie to me.
Speaker 1: Say I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm I'm sorry. Apologies. Yes,
Speaker 1: and take a look at the history of presidents of
Speaker 1: the United States of America. Not exactly a real you know,
Speaker 1: a moral group of people if you want to judge
Speaker 1: it from your certain moral standards. But now, liar, President, liar.
Speaker 1: But back to Marene. MSNBC is now saying that everyone
Speaker 1: in the Biden administration should get a broad pardon, and
Speaker 1: you probably pause through it and you think, wait a second,
Speaker 1: could he do that? Yeah, he probably could. As I
Speaker 1: stare at all of the backlash Trump is getting for
Speaker 1: selecting Cash Patel to be the FBI director, the enforcer
Speaker 1: of Trump's revenge. Patel has no other agenda but revenge. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I guess the Biden administration made a pretty
Speaker 1: good job out of getting revenge when there was no
Speaker 1: legal predicate to do. It's what do you do? You
Speaker 1: go up and make stuff up. Steal dossier for example.
Speaker 1: That took a while for people to finally come around.
Speaker 1: Oh look the Hunter byden laptop. It's a lie. It's
Speaker 1: Russia rush or RuSHA Russia. All that turned out to
Speaker 1: be lie. So yeah, if there's nothing there, you can
Speaker 1: create it and go after it and pretend that if
Speaker 1: it's real. But ultimately you're really just going after one
Speaker 1: single guy for his politics and the fact that he's
Speaker 1: after your job. That's Cash Bettel. Now, will Patel go
Speaker 1: out in New World and do this? I don't know.
Speaker 1: My popcorns out for all things like that, don't know.
Speaker 1: But who's set the precedent for him to do it? Right? Yes, Joe.
Speaker 1: They are pissed off because he's the perfect choice. But
Speaker 1: see this is Maureene's point. She gave me this little clip.
Speaker 1: It's MSNBC saying everyone should get a pardon. And if
Speaker 1: you have a corrupt administration, or you're worried about cash
Speaker 1: Battel going out and drumming up charges or drumming up
Speaker 1: things or making things up, because well they've written the
Speaker 1: guidebook for him to do just that, then think about it.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden sits down and they steer him in the
Speaker 1: direction of the piece of paper in front of them,
Speaker 1: which has words written down by someone else here. Put
Speaker 1: your mark on this, Joe, and ultimately you've pardoned literally
Speaker 1: every person in the entire Biden administration from all things
Speaker 1: they may have done criminally or otherwise. And that's the
Speaker 1: scope and breath of the pardon that Biden signed for Hunter.
Speaker 1: Basically everything wiped away, whether known or unknown, all the
Speaker 1: way back to twenty fourteen, which interestingly coincides with a
Speaker 1: lot of the crazy behavior that was going on over
Speaker 1: yes in Ukraine Baristla holdings, among other shenanigans. Today's got
Speaker 1: a free pass. Why can't you do that to everybody?
Speaker 1: I think it's conceptually possible. So when Cash Hotel comes in,
Speaker 1: he can't go after anyone because Joe Biden's preemptively pardoned
Speaker 1: them all. I guess I have to wonder out loud
Speaker 1: what the American people's reaction to something like that might be,
Speaker 1: because you can already hear the justification from MSNBC. Well,
Speaker 1: it's just because Cash Mattel is going to politicize and
Speaker 1: engage in lawfare against them. Oh yeah, well, Donald Trump
Speaker 1: successfully defended himselves after years and years of charges levied
Speaker 1: against him that we all found out weren't true that
Speaker 1: we had been lying to us for all that time.
Speaker 1: So if Cash Mattel did that same thing, then ultimately
Speaker 1: these people would persevere because they didn't do anything, now
Speaker 1: did they? Hmm? But WHOA What happens if they did?
Speaker 1: What happens if he has probable cause to believe that
Speaker 1: actual crimes were committed without parenthetically lying de fis the
Speaker 1: court judges in order to get the information, like like
Speaker 1: the Biden administration did, then he'd have to go prove
Speaker 1: his case in a court of law, wouldn't he They
Speaker 1: wouldn't need a pardon if you think they didn't do
Speaker 1: anything wrong. I don't know, it's crazy, but it sounds
Speaker 1: hilarious from a concept. And again, my popcorn is out, CJ.
Speaker 1: Thanks for indulging me while I had to get that
Speaker 1: out of my system. Welcome to the Morning Show.
Speaker 6: Happy Monday, Oh, happy Monday to you as well. You
Speaker 6: know this weekend, the news this weekend was unbelievable for
Speaker 6: Thanksgiving Day weekend between Hunter But what happened over in Syria?
Speaker 6: What's going on in Georgia and Belarus? Last night? You
Speaker 6: had a train hijacked by rebels that was burned on
Speaker 6: supplies going to Ukraine for the Russian troops. Russia is
Speaker 6: gaining land in Ukraine. That is one hundred percent true.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 6: There's also another thing going on that we're not paying
Speaker 6: attention to, and that is that Putin is very close
Speaker 6: to a coup. They have interest rates near thirty percent.
Speaker 6: Now you've got inflation at ten percent a month. You've
Speaker 6: got the ruble this weekend with taken off the foreign
Speaker 6: exchange market by their central banks, so they're not buying anything.
Speaker 6: They're not able to buy anything outside of Russia, even
Speaker 6: on the black market, because that it has become completely worthless.
Speaker 6: What's going on in Syria. They've lost they may you know,
Speaker 6: that port there in Syria that they want so bad.
Speaker 6: There's a you know, reports that they may have to
Speaker 6: move the ships into the Mediterranean, which.
Speaker 1: They may or may not be allowed to do.
Speaker 6: They've lost multiple planes to the Syrian government. Putin is
Speaker 6: in real danger. He may take land in Ukraine ultimately,
Speaker 6: but I don't know if he can keep his power.
Speaker 6: I also think we need to be prepared as a
Speaker 6: country that you could have complete chaos with the nation
Speaker 6: that holds the most nuclear weapons, with a government south
Speaker 6: of them, who will gladly take them all on? Who
Speaker 6: wants to take over other lands throughout the Asia for
Speaker 6: America first, But we got to pay attention to the
Speaker 6: foreign policy.
Speaker 1: Oh, no question, we have chip pay attention to foreign policy.
Speaker 1: But I guess I have to wonder the stage has
Speaker 1: already been set in Russia. We have history as a
Speaker 1: guide for what might happen in the aftermath of a
Speaker 1: complete radical change in government system. That of course was
Speaker 1: the fall of the Soviet Union. Now we managed collectively
Speaker 1: as a globe to get through that period of time,
Speaker 1: and I know that at the time there was a
Speaker 1: lot of concern or were you know, breakaway nations and
Speaker 1: former Soviet Block nations and the fact that they have
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons in their in their under their control, and
Speaker 1: some of them are crazy and some of are not,
Speaker 1: some of the are corrupt or some of them are not.
Speaker 1: So Yeah, a scary time in history when that happened,
Speaker 1: as well as a joyful and time of elation because
Speaker 1: of the fall of the Soviet Union. But you know
Speaker 1: a lot of danger looms in the background on that.
Speaker 1: And I don't know how a change of government would
Speaker 1: even take place, or transition to government even take place
Speaker 1: under whatever the hell it is they have now, which
Speaker 1: seems just like a dictatorship. I mean, isn't putin basically
Speaker 1: a dictator They don't have seemingly really any form of
Speaker 1: democratic process there. So I don't know crazy stuff, and
Speaker 1: I was not aware of the Ruble melt down. I
Speaker 1: have to I'm gonna have to look into that. See,
Speaker 1: sometimes my listeners are far more intelligent and astute than
Speaker 1: I am, and I'm happy to admit that. That's why
Speaker 1: I'm happy I have the smartest listening audience in radio.
Speaker 1: Appreciate the call. CJ got New Hampshire, Gary and Candy
Speaker 1: on the phone. Hold on a moment, we'll get your calls.

Speaker 1: builders special department of the wherever the hell he got it?
Speaker 1: Dangerous is what the Chimney Care Fireplace and Stove inspection revealed. Prian,
Speaker 1: don't use it. I didn't rather than trying to just
Speaker 1: sort of ignore it and not enjoy the warmth and fireplace,
Speaker 1: I had the whole thing gutted, relined and beautiful fireplace.

Speaker 10: first on this. Everybody who didn't get the Hunter Biden's pardon.
Speaker 10: It's actually a good thing for Republicans, and it shows
Speaker 10: a hypocrisy both on the government level level and it
Speaker 10: really shows the hypocrisy on every thinking news channel that
Speaker 10: preached to us for the last six months. How Hunter,
Speaker 10: how Biden's respects the system of justice in the United States,
Speaker 10: He didn't and he would never pardon. They got a montage,
Speaker 10: of course, everywhere they are everywhere.
Speaker 1: It's hilarious.
Speaker 10: I just think it's actually a good thing. It shows
Speaker 10: the hypocrisy of everything that's going on, and then you
Speaker 10: could apply that for the wearing us of the masks,
Speaker 10: the vaccination, the withdrawal of Afghanistan, never leave Americans behind
Speaker 10: to the election integrity that we know malfeasans was going
Speaker 10: on even in this election with Democrats just blatantly trying
Speaker 10: to ignore the law right even though they didn't care.
Speaker 10: They still don't care, and there's still some of them
Speaker 10: are trying, you know, taking almost four weeks to decide
Speaker 10: an election in California. It makes you wonder. No, it
Speaker 10: doesn't make me wonder. It makes you angry. It makes
Speaker 10: me angry. This is not justice. This is a two
Speaker 10: tier justice system that is being flauted at every level.
Speaker 1: It is. You didn't call me looking for an argument
Speaker 1: to himshire Gary and I have been enjoying the montage
Speaker 1: of these Biden will never ever, ever pardon listen to him,
Speaker 1: but he believes in the rule of law. Of those
Speaker 1: statements over and over again from every talking head and
Speaker 1: every left wing talking head media outlet, in print and
Speaker 1: on film, all right there for all to observe. That's
Speaker 1: the beauty of the Internet. We can find it. It's
Speaker 1: right there. Look fifteen minutes ago and like sort of
Speaker 1: in human time, you know, a moment ago, in human time,
Speaker 1: you were on there screaming about how much he believes
Speaker 1: in justice, and now you're forgiving him and saying it
Speaker 1: was the right thing for him to go ahead and
Speaker 1: pardon his son. You can't reconcile those two points of view,
Speaker 1: but we sure can. And we know who's lying to us,
Speaker 1: and we know who's telling the truth. And thank you
Speaker 1: again for the Internet. Let's se what Candy's got. Candy,
Speaker 1: thank you for calling this morning, and a very happy Monday.
Speaker 1: Forty nine days left, and he did it on the
Speaker 1: fiftieth day.
Speaker 4: Of his Uh.
Speaker 5: I'm wondering if he thinks maybe he'll be off, you know,
Speaker 5: he'll be.
Speaker 7: He's gonna you know, they're gonna want to have.
Speaker 2: A forty seventh president for Kamala.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard that rumor before. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: worth going through the exercise of even trying that. But
Speaker 1: but you know, he has been very, very frail of health.
Speaker 1: It could certainly something might happen to President Biden. God forbid, though,
Speaker 1: but a man who's eighty two years old and you know,
Speaker 1: wanders away in a Brazilian rainforest and doesn't even know
Speaker 1: where he is. Maybe he did want to get it
Speaker 1: out of the way. Maybe his doctor has been con
Speaker 1: candid and honest with him about his long term prognosis
Speaker 1: or something. You see, when we've all been lied to
Speaker 1: for so long, it's easy to come up with these conclusions.
Speaker 1: It's easy to make these to draw these lines. I
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna waste the political capital just to
Speaker 1: say Kamala Harris was the first woman president, because look,
Speaker 1: she got her butt handed to her by evil Orange
Speaker 1: Man by a substantial amount. They lost House seats, they
Speaker 1: lost Senate seeds. That was a totally brutal devastation of
Speaker 1: the Democrats thanks to whoever the decision making people were from,
Speaker 1: I guess the Obama administration and pulling the plug on
Speaker 1: Biden last minute and putting of all people someone who
Speaker 1: all of the Democrats soundly rejected in twenty nineteen, not
Speaker 1: giving them an opportunity to have their say in it,
Speaker 1: and selected her to be the nominee, only to get
Speaker 1: their butts handed to them. So is she the greatest?
Speaker 1: Is she are they going to really want to annoint
Speaker 1: her to the first female president in the United States's history.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. They're hoping for a better day
Speaker 1: down the road. Six twenty six fifty five krec DE
Speaker 1: Talk station. Lord knows they've got better candidates than someone
Speaker 1: like her. They would someone who actually might do a
Speaker 1: great job and be used and held out as an
Speaker 1: illustration of how wonderful things can be under a female president,
Speaker 1: just not this time. See Susseette Low's camp. Wonderful human
Speaker 1: beings she is and in the mortgage business, I strongly
Speaker 1: encourage you to work with a female that person. Susette
Speaker 1: loves the camp. She is absolutely a terrific lady. You'll
Speaker 1: enjoy working with her. Always took the point out it
Speaker 1: seems to be one of the most expensive financial transaction
Speaker 1: most anybody ever gets into owning a home, and you
Speaker 1: want to get through it with the great understanding of
Speaker 1: the knowledge that thirty five plus years in the mortgage
Speaker 1: business will bring you with Susett, the wonderful customer service
Speaker 1: she provides, and how quickly she can get you through
Speaker 1: the whole process start to finish, Boom boom, boom, it's
Speaker 1: over and done with with no junk fees, no application fees,
Speaker 1: only great rates at low cost. And since she's with
Speaker 1: Cross Country Mortgage, she can help you in literally any
Speaker 1: state in the Union, including Puerto Rico. Not a state,
Speaker 1: but she can help still help you with mortgage related
Speaker 1: issues there. It's got great programs to talk to you about,
Speaker 1: especially like if you're a veteran for example. Anyway, give
Speaker 1: her a call. Please tell her Brian said, Hi. When

Speaker 1: Big mac Bridge. O DOT said repairs the Big dan
Speaker 1: Beer Bridge currently slated to be complete in March. They
Speaker 1: started demolishing on Friday. The one of the phases very systemic,
Speaker 1: surgical type of demolition. According to Kathleen Fuller, speaking with WCPO,
Speaker 1: bridge set to fully reopen the middle of March. The
Speaker 1: biggest hold up finding enough steel to custom make new
Speaker 1: beams and girders. This will say the steals in high
Speaker 1: demanded because of backlog repairs needed in other places after
Speaker 1: Hurricane Halene, but they expect the shipments to arrive mid January.

Speaker 4: One.
Speaker 1: Of course, the wooden playground not near the heat level
Speaker 1: that a airplane full of fuel would cause and bring
Speaker 1: down the towers. For all you conspiracy theorists out who
Speaker 1: have been arguing about that never being possible, a playground
Speaker 1: melted the bridge massive structural damage. Sorry, I always like
Speaker 1: to throw that in odouts at a project like this
Speaker 1: can normally take up to three years to complete, but
Speaker 1: the crews should be done in less than four months,
Speaker 1: knock Wood crews began repairing concrete pier caps, including seven
Speaker 1: new girders, and pouring more than seventy six hundred square
Speaker 1: feet of concrete deck once the girders. Arry Fuller said
Speaker 1: construction on the bridge begin in January, with all work
Speaker 1: expected to begin to be complete by March. Heartbreaking, it
Speaker 1: is another round of Frish's Big Boy restaurants facing eviction notices,
Speaker 1: including yes, you've probably heard it by now the Frish's
Speaker 1: first location, the Mainliner in Fairfax, lots of folks expressing

Speaker 1: of the plane is on the sign's logo. There I
Speaker 1: guess maybe let up in the sign Museum. December thirteenth,
Speaker 1: Court Day will also threaten Frish's Queen's Gate and Sharonville
Speaker 1: locations too, already close facing evictions. On the thirteenth, Frish's
Speaker 1: West Price still in North College Hill restaurants. New evictions
Speaker 1: bring the total number of eviction lawsuits more than twenty

Speaker 1: prompting me to think, I wonder how many more years
Speaker 1: it's going to be that we're still going to have
Speaker 1: brick and mortar stores. Heyw am talking earlier about, of
Speaker 1: course cash Betel and the Dems pulling their heads out
Speaker 1: about him being the enforcer of Trump's revenge. He'll be
Speaker 1: going back after political opponents and okay, whatever, they got
Speaker 1: the game plan from the Democrats. I just got the
Speaker 1: biggest kick out of this, of course, shared Brown's licking
Speaker 1: his wounds after losing to Bernie Moreno. Here in Ohio,
Speaker 1: it was fifty point two percent to forty six point
Speaker 1: six percent for those who failed to keep track at home.
Speaker 1: That was the margin of victory for Bernie Moreno. Jared
Speaker 1: Brown now shared Brown now claiming he lost the reelection
Speaker 1: because Republicans rigged the system him. Last Thursday, on CNN,
Speaker 1: Brown alleged Republicans rigged the system after complaining about ads
Speaker 1: on transgender issues, including one that featured Vice President Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris discussing how she pushed behind the scenes for transgender
Speaker 1: prisoners to receive sex changes while she was Attorney general
Speaker 1: in California, Brown on CNN, they lie about it, and
Speaker 1: they put it in this case. They spent forty million
Speaker 1: dollars on eight different ads on that issue. They were
Speaker 1: talking about how to make Ohio a better state. They're
Speaker 1: not doing their job on education, they're not doing their
Speaker 1: job on healthcare, they're not doing their job on creating jobs.
Speaker 1: And I'm reading this some going wait a second, he's
Speaker 1: talking about a political attack AD. Has anyone ever learned
Speaker 1: anything from a political attack AD other than well, there's
Speaker 1: stuff to attack the other guy over. I know there
Speaker 1: are positives like vote for Bertie Marina because he will
Speaker 1: be able to do the following. Yeah, but they're also
Speaker 1: negative attack ads. And of course I know Sharon Brown
Speaker 1: ran his fair share against Bernie Moreno, or at least
Speaker 1: his packs did. And I'm sure shared Brown wasn't drawing
Speaker 1: a distinction between his own ad spy buying and spending
Speaker 1: where he approved the ad content and the political action
Speaker 1: committees that were happily running ads on his behalf. And
Speaker 1: I'm sure he was happily enjoying them playing over and
Speaker 1: over again about like, for example, how Bernie mistreated his
Speaker 1: employees or something like that. CNN reporter Manu Raju pointed
Speaker 1: out the campaign was successful, Republicans won. Brown's response, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they're winning elections in part because they've rigged the system.
Speaker 1: They've made it harder to vote. He is still singing
Speaker 1: that line. They've changed ballot language in a jer Conian
Speaker 1: in a dramatic way. With the last election. They did
Speaker 1: that with abortion rights. It didn't work in that case, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: And Ohio we have abortion now pretty much across the
Speaker 1: board across So you got your way here in Ohio.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're complaining about there. So Roger
Speaker 1: asked if Democrats were out of touch with Americans on
Speaker 1: those issues, considering the aftermath of the election, Donald Trump
Speaker 1: did win by a substantial majority here in the state
Speaker 1: of Ohio. Oh, that's right, and the popular vote in
Speaker 1: the United States of America, Like we're reminding the Dems
Speaker 1: of that. Yes, they spend all this money on you
Speaker 1: against you, you guys one, are you out of touch
Speaker 1: on those issues too? Should you? Guys? Mean the Democrats
Speaker 1: have done a better job in pushing back Brown for
Speaker 1: his response, I'm not out of touch on those issues.
Speaker 1: I go home, I hear people all the time. I
Speaker 1: know how they focus group and they lie. I mean,
Speaker 1: how do you call me out of touch when they
Speaker 1: lie about an issue? It's just comical. Blurring of the
Speaker 1: distinction between attack ads, political ads, race ads, and you
Speaker 1: know a record you can either stand on or not
Speaker 1: record that includes a very very, very very almost one
Speaker 1: hundred percent left wing shared brown vote with the Biden
Speaker 1: administration on literally every left wing policy that clearly did
Speaker 1: not carry the weight of the day during a presidential
Speaker 1: election year, prompting many on the Democratic side of the
Speaker 1: ledger if they need to rethink their vision for America.
Speaker 1: They lost so poorly, they lost the evil Orange man.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, can you image the moment of reflection
Speaker 1: that's going through every one of their collective minds. We
Speaker 1: had this campaign, this this hate field campaign, and speaking
Speaker 1: about lying, we have been hitting Donald Trump left and
Speaker 1: right about the head and shoulders literally now for the
Speaker 1: last four and a half five six years, when he
Speaker 1: wasn't even in office. It was always evil Orange man.
Speaker 1: He's the one responsible for legislation either being passed or
Speaker 1: not being passed. It's all Trump, Trump, from Trump to
Speaker 1: Trump just pounded in every man, woman, and child's system
Speaker 1: now forever. And it didn't work. From their perspective, the
Speaker 1: most evil human being on the planet beat their candidate.
Speaker 1: They're candidate who also brought down the likes of Shared Brown,
Speaker 1: and do we vote out Shared Brown because of well
Speaker 1: Donald Trump? Did we vote out Shared Brown because Bernie
Speaker 1: Marin was a better candidate? Did we vote out Shared Brown?
Speaker 1: For who Shared Brown demonstrably was in cantil and still
Speaker 1: continues to be the left wing nut job that he is.

Speaker 4: Hey, we are, and welcome back to you.
Speaker 1: Brian, Thank you man.
Speaker 4: All right, a couple of things. You was talking about.
Speaker 4: That bridge. I guess we call it the McDonald.
Speaker 1: Bridge, Yeah, the James Beard Bridge, the big mac bridge.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, is that northbound lane? Did it reopen or
Speaker 4: is it still shut down?
Speaker 1: Now? I had to be shut down, I guess till
Speaker 1: March and I'm getting my north and southbound confused. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's the northbound. This is it the southbound
Speaker 1: that shutdown today? Nay? Threw me off there, James. Either way, No,
Speaker 1: that will be remain remain closed because they have to
Speaker 1: get all the supplies to start doing the rebuilding and
Speaker 1: apparently they can't find the steel, which is now scheduled
Speaker 1: to be delivered in January, and they're going to expedite
Speaker 1: the work on it. We've been told by O Dot
Speaker 1: that the work will be done by March of next year.
Speaker 1: So it's going to be a while, okay.
Speaker 4: And that leads to my point on that it's a
Speaker 4: steel company right here in Meridia, Mississippi that does domestic steel.
Speaker 4: I mean they send it to Japan and China build
Speaker 4: a large bridges there. And I'm gonna take it up
Speaker 4: on myself to go by there today to talk to
Speaker 4: the offishes and see have they at any calls or
Speaker 4: any contact with Cincinnati. And I'm gonna try to and
Speaker 4: I may need you to help me to connect some
Speaker 4: dots on me once I break it open to him,
Speaker 4: because you know, I'm just a little peon down here.
Speaker 4: But I'm gonna go into the front office today and
Speaker 4: bring this up, yeah, and see if they interested in
Speaker 4: looking into it.
Speaker 1: Well, tell you what, James get a leg up on
Speaker 1: it good At WCPO dot com. That's where the article
Speaker 1: from this morning's reporting came from. Jay Shaker wrote it
Speaker 1: and the spokesperson is probably the one that needs to
Speaker 1: have the question answer for. It's Kathleen Fuller from the
Speaker 1: High Department of Transportation. She's the one that says, uh,
Speaker 1: the biggest hold up is finding enough steel to custom
Speaker 1: make new beams and girders. Now, that doesn't sound to
Speaker 1: me like it's a specific custom type of steel. It's
Speaker 1: just that there are apparently a lot of backlog on
Speaker 1: repairs of other places who are ordering steel because the
Speaker 1: hurricanes that went through. They say they expect the shipments
Speaker 1: to arrive now in mid January because of these delays.
Speaker 1: So it sounds like it's a multifaceted thing. But if
Speaker 1: you've got a company down there that's manufacturing steel and
Speaker 1: they're open for business and they can fill the order,
Speaker 1: I don't see why not, man, So give it a shot.
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, you can find it. Just search search
Speaker 1: for the Dan Beard Bridge and O Dot and Kathleen
Speaker 1: fully You'll find a bunch of articles on it. But
Speaker 1: I'd love for you, I'd love I bet they would
Speaker 1: love for you to land the business for him. James
Speaker 1: will give you all the credit in the world for
Speaker 1: coming up with the idea.
Speaker 4: Now, is that is the name of it? The dan Beard. Yes, okay,
Speaker 4: and let's do your CTO dan Beard Daniel.
Speaker 1: It's actually the full name is Daniel Carter Beard Bridge,
Speaker 1: but if you just put Dan Beard Bridge in, uh,
Speaker 1: he's the guy that founded the Boy Scouts of America.
Speaker 1: So Daniel Carter Beard Bridge. But mac Bridge will probably
Speaker 1: find this enough articles on it as well. My friend,
Speaker 1: I hope you have a great day. Looking forward to
Speaker 1: seeing you get back in town and stay on there
Speaker 1: if you make any headway with that steel plant. They're
Speaker 1: scratching their head wondering why they didn't get a call.
Speaker 1: I'd like to know about that. Ah, take care Man
Speaker 1: six fifty five fifty five cares of Thetaxation. We got

Speaker 1: So those are the topics with Brian James coming up
Speaker 1: in an hour. In the meantime, to the phones, I
Speaker 1: will go five on three, seven, four, nine fifty five,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty two to three talk pound five
Speaker 1: fifty on AT and T phones. Jim, welcome to the program,
Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning.
Speaker 14: Good morning, Brian, uh Mississippi. James doesn't really have anything
Speaker 14: to worry about. According to the local news, it's been
Speaker 14: on there several times over last week. They had a
Speaker 14: company company in Kentucky that's making these steal govers for them,
Speaker 14: mac Bridge that it's not the problem that we don't
Speaker 14: have the steel, it's just that it's not on the
Speaker 14: shelf sitting there.
Speaker 1: With Yeah, you know, it's actually it does have to
Speaker 1: be fabricated to specifications. And our collective friends. Drew Pappas
Speaker 1: former trustee anders the township, just sent me a Facebook
Speaker 1: message after James called and said, you know, actually turnaround time,
Speaker 1: which if you're talking about turnaround time between now and
Speaker 1: January for a special order fabricated piece of steel, that's
Speaker 1: probably not that bad. I don't know. My response to
Speaker 1: them was the same thing. I don't know anything about
Speaker 1: steel manufacturing or production. I don't know anything about supply chains,
Speaker 1: availability anything, so I'm I'm just reporting what I see
Speaker 1: read in the papers. And they keep talking about this
Speaker 1: being a delay. Well it's a big delay because we've
Speaker 1: got steel supply chain, steel availability issues. Of course, that
Speaker 1: allows one to draw a conclusion that those actually are problems.
Speaker 1: Maybe not, Maybe it's just the normal course of buying
Speaker 1: specific specified you know, two spec steel pieces. So probably
Speaker 1: a good point, Jim and I appreciate coming up and
Speaker 1: making and so appreciate it. Hearing from Drew on that
Speaker 1: one as well. Oh, I don't know if I can't
Speaker 1: get it all in today, because there's several different articles
Speaker 1: that all just point in the same direction for me
Speaker 1: and my absolute outright discussed over how we are just
Speaker 1: killing ourselves over alledged carbon output and climate change, and
Speaker 1: you have the whole thing, just several articles, and I
Speaker 1: don't have to dive into the specifics of any one
Speaker 1: of them. I can tell you where they came from.
Speaker 1: There's Edward ring Uh. Climate Action has California's energy economy
Speaker 1: on its knees headline while posturing for coastal progressives. Governor
Speaker 1: Newsom punishes Central Valley farmers and industry, and he points
Speaker 1: out all these ways that California is killing industry and
Speaker 1: business and bringing about much much higher prices, driving away
Speaker 1: companies and businesses, most notably in the area of patrollum
Speaker 1: clearly in pursuit of reaching this net zero carbon emissions
Speaker 1: by I guess twenty thirty five or twenty forty five.
Speaker 1: You got another separate article, Britain is killing its auto
Speaker 1: industry editorial board of the Wall Street Journal. Job losses
Speaker 1: from ev mandates are manny across Europe. You know, you
Speaker 1: can lead a horse to water, but you can't make
Speaker 1: them drink. And that's literally what's happening with this ridiculous
Speaker 1: forced feeding of electric vehicles down our throat. Stillanis shutting
Speaker 1: a plant in Looton, north of London, imperiling eleven hundred jobs.
Speaker 1: Stillanis also whereas their workers are having problems, Ford announced
Speaker 1: it was cutting back eight hundred and fifty three hundred
Speaker 1: jobs in Britain. Is part of the European restructuring of
Speaker 1: Ford's business model. Nissan doing the same thing. They point
Speaker 1: out the culprit the forced political march to electric vehicles.
Speaker 1: People aren't buying them, so all of these jobs, you know,
Speaker 1: people are pulling the plug on all these projects. And
Speaker 1: then turn to this as I have been over perhaps overly,
Speaker 1: and I will acknowledge perhaps some over optimism in connection
Speaker 1: with Eva Gramma swimming Elon Musk in this Doze department
Speaker 1: about cutting trillions of dollars out of the federal expenditure list.
Speaker 1: I'm all in favor of that. And one of the
Speaker 1: things that Donald Trump ran on as a candidate now
Speaker 1: president elect again, Donald Trump ending President's Biden's Inflation Reduction Act,
Speaker 1: i e. The Green New Deal that's cost us all
Speaker 1: trillions of dollars. And here you have it, Scott Patterson
Speaker 1: right into the Wall Street Journal headline, Trump vowed to
Speaker 1: kill Biden's climate laws. Republicans say not so fast, sub headline.
Speaker 1: Billions of dollars and tens of thousands of jobs are
Speaker 1: at stake in red states. And here you go. Taking
Speaker 1: me back to my comments about the F thirty five aircraft,
Speaker 1: which is stupid. Elon Musk made the point the other
Speaker 1: day that it's stupid. It's three billion or thirty five
Speaker 1: billion dollars a pop, and you can buy gazillions worth
Speaker 1: of unmanned drones that can equally, if not more, stealthily
Speaker 1: enter into any environment and accomplish the job of a
Speaker 1: thirty five billion dollar airplane. Two trillion dollars budgeted for
Speaker 1: that particular aircraft. Into the future, everybody's going in the
Speaker 1: opposite direction. They go mock one or one point five.
Speaker 1: That's one and a half times the speed of sound,
Speaker 1: and every supersonic hypersonic missile out there, like minimum goes
Speaker 1: five times to speed of sound, sometimes north of double digits,
Speaker 1: meaning if you can accurately pinpoint one of those on
Speaker 1: an F thirty five rocket, whatever it costs to make
Speaker 1: a hypersonic rocket, we'll knock down the thirty five billion
Speaker 1: dollar F thirty five aircraft. So that's just me just
Speaker 1: moving over to a point. Why would that program still
Speaker 1: be in existence? Well, his jobs insertain states depend upon it. Oh,
Speaker 1: you can't take away my project. That's my state. And
Speaker 1: that's exactly what this article points out. All these states
Speaker 1: are getting the massive infusions of taxpayer dollars and starting
Speaker 1: up projects on the backs of you. In fact, even
Speaker 1: the many oil and gas producing companies have joined on
Speaker 1: this bandwagon. They point out this guy, Representative Buddy Carter
Speaker 1: out of Georgia. He signed the letter along with eighteen
Speaker 1: Republican House Matters members sent to Mike Johnson Speaker asking
Speaker 1: him to well stick with the incentives for these clean
Speaker 1: energy products and the Inflation Reduction Act. Buddy Carter, sign
Speaker 1: the letter said that while he thought the IRA was
Speaker 1: a bad idea, he doesn't support the full repeal. We
Speaker 1: need to just look at it instead of taking a
Speaker 1: sledge hammer to it. We need to dissect it carefully
Speaker 1: to see what might be in there that's working anthetically.
Speaker 1: His home state, Georgia as the highest number of clean
Speaker 1: energy projects and jobs funded by the IRA, including a
Speaker 1: seven point six billion dollar Hundai Motor Group manufacturing complex
Speaker 1: to make yes electric vehicles in Buddy Carter's district. The
Speaker 1: powerful corn lobby also mentioned a peculiar topic I brought
Speaker 1: up with Congressman Massy when we were talking about him
Speaker 1: maybe becoming the ag secretary. He didn't, But when I
Speaker 1: pointed out, maybe he is the cultural secretary. You can
Speaker 1: just shut the whole thing down and at least get
Speaker 1: rid of the ethanol mandate. North Dakota one of the
Speaker 1: ARIA America's top producers of ethanol. Yeah, the corn based
Speaker 1: gasoline substitute. Question out loud, why wohen we have gazillions
Speaker 1: of untapped reserves of oil that could be pulled out
Speaker 1: the ground that we are currently pulling out of the ground,
Speaker 1: that could go to refineries and turn into gasoline. There
Speaker 1: is no shortage. This isn't peak oil time back in
Speaker 1: the seventies, where every ounce that comes out of the
Speaker 1: ground is all we've got left. Wrong, We've proven that
Speaker 1: to be a falsehood. So since we've got adequate oil reserves,
Speaker 1: and supplies, and how we're doing businesses with countries like oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, Venezuela and others that don't share exactly
Speaker 1: our political ideology. Why would we be doing business with
Speaker 1: them instead of pulling it out of our own ground
Speaker 1: where it's done cheaper and cleaner. Don't know. But the
Speaker 1: idea of putting corn into your gas tank is born
Speaker 1: of this nonsense and it doesn't pull any carbon or
Speaker 1: the environment. The corn lobby makes a ton of money
Speaker 1: on making us on the mandate that we burn a
Speaker 1: certain amount of ethanol in our gas tanks for reasons
Speaker 1: that I don't quite understand, but because of regulations, that's
Speaker 1: what we're doing. And of course North Dakota they're one
Speaker 1: of the biggest producers of ethanol. Not really high on
Speaker 1: the whole idea of getting rid of the credits for
Speaker 1: the ethanol producers, the farmers that grow corn for us
Speaker 1: to put in our gas tanks for no reason whatsoever.
Speaker 1: And then there's all these carbon capture products, which is
Speaker 1: really just a way of taking your exhalation out and
Speaker 1: sticking it into the ground or something. North Dakota, this
Speaker 1: god is going to be one of the big winners
Speaker 1: of the Carbon Capture and Sequestration program. Congressmen Bergham's on
Speaker 1: this one. He said, the state has the capacity to
Speaker 1: store two hundred and fifty billion tons of carbon dioxide underground,
Speaker 1: and it'll be a boon for the state's coffers from
Speaker 1: the revenues. We can't take that away. We can't out
Speaker 1: loud point out the stupidity of taking plant food out
Speaker 1: of the atmosphere as small of a percentage as it is,
Speaker 1: because well, North Dakota is somehow going to suffer financially
Speaker 1: because they created whole cloth something called carbon capture in
Speaker 1: the name of taking a naturally occurring gas out of
Speaker 1: the atmosphere and turn it into a money making industry
Speaker 1: that makes money only because you, the American taxpayer, are
Speaker 1: footing the bill for it. You think Republicans that be
Speaker 1: stepping up to the challenge. No, it's time for that
Speaker 1: crap to go. Get off the government to teach or
Speaker 1: umbilical cord if you find that less offensive, but just
Speaker 1: get away from it. Nope, Nope, not when it comes
Speaker 1: to special interest in money making for states, this is
Speaker 1: where uh promises and delivery tend to run headlong. Five

Speaker 1: It is seven and a very happy Monday to you.
Speaker 1: Always made an extra special happy because could talked to
Speaker 1: the former vice mayor of the city since Sinnat, Christopher Smith.
Speaker 1: Amen get the Smither event. Welcome back, Christopher. It's great
Speaker 1: having you on my program. And I hope you had
Speaker 1: a fantastic Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: I did, brother happy you know, Thanksgiving again to your family.
Speaker 2: And I've been listening and you know it was. It
Speaker 2: was a relaxing Thanksgiving. I tell you, there's so much
Speaker 2: to pick from this morning to talk about. I'm going
Speaker 2: to start with President Biden and him doing this part
Speaker 2: and of his son. It really underscores to me the
Speaker 2: level of corruption that has come from this White House.
Speaker 2: Anybody looking at this on its face would say, well,
Speaker 2: your dad doing a pardon of his son. Is a
Speaker 2: conflict of interest to do it, and to go back
Speaker 2: a decade and basically say, listen, you can't go after
Speaker 2: my son anything that he did, maybe with China, anything
Speaker 2: he did sitting on the board of one of these companies,
Speaker 2: as it relates to contracts, to the gun charges, to
Speaker 2: the laptop, it doesn't really matter. And this is why
Speaker 2: the everyday citizen Brian out there has all of these
Speaker 2: feelings about politics and the dardiness of it. Imagine what
Speaker 2: they'll say. And I don't know if this will happen.
Speaker 2: If President elect Trump on his first day says I'm
Speaker 2: going to parton all of the January sixth, people who
Speaker 2: are arrested, who are in jail, who are awaiting trial.
Speaker 2: I mean, what exactly will CNN and msnbcay, MSNBC say
Speaker 2: about that? And so that's the frustrating part for me
Speaker 2: on the way out. And it was something that clearly
Speaker 2: President Biden said he wasn't going to do. But if
Speaker 2: the elections had consequences, in his mind, he thought maybe
Speaker 2: he would win. He thought maybe Vice President Harris would win.
Speaker 2: They didn't win. Uh, Trump won, and he understood that
Speaker 2: on January twenty. If that Trump would not parton his son,
Speaker 2: so he had to do it in his mind to
Speaker 2: protect his son from criminal prosecution.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't disagree at all with the summary in
Speaker 1: the way you put it. And uh, you know, I
Speaker 1: I pointed out early in the program. Listen, he said
Speaker 1: multiple occasions, Joe Biden came out of his mouth. He
Speaker 1: had his press secretary reiterate his statements he will not
Speaker 1: pardon his son period in his story. You know, he's thought,
Speaker 1: you know, uh, that's kind of a dumb thing to
Speaker 1: say out loud. If you really had in the back
Speaker 1: of your mind that you might do it, that some
Speaker 1: circumstance might show up that might push you in the
Speaker 1: need to need to pardon them category, wouldn't it have
Speaker 1: been better to say, you know, I'm gonna take a
Speaker 1: wait and see approach. I'm gonna let the wheels of
Speaker 1: justice spin out. I'm gonna see how things land and go.
Speaker 1: And you know, I believe in law and order, but
Speaker 1: I'm just not going to comment on it right now.
Speaker 1: So how people would have said, oh, he's definitely going
Speaker 1: to pardon his son, but so what you know, people
Speaker 1: didn't believe him when he said he was not going
Speaker 1: to pardon his son. Except for all the talking heads
Speaker 1: on CNN and elsewhere. Now they got to eat their
Speaker 1: words and don't go on the air now completely contradicting
Speaker 1: themselves and talking about how awesome it is and how
Speaker 1: appropriate it is for him to pardon Hunter Biden, because
Speaker 1: nobody would ever get prosecuted for what Hunter Biden did.
Speaker 1: No one would go to jail for falsifying an FFL form,
Speaker 1: no one would be prosecuted for not paying a million
Speaker 1: plus dollars in taxes. And that's just the ones that
Speaker 1: they still had him on because they slow walk the
Speaker 1: earlier investigation involving literally millions and millions of other dollars. No,
Speaker 1: nothing to see here. Yeah, well, now we get to
Speaker 1: bring it all back up and remind the American people
Speaker 1: of how hypocritical they are and how ridiculous this this
Speaker 1: thing is, and how much bloody favoritism there is as
Speaker 1: long as you are connected and well connected, like the
Speaker 1: Biden family is. Hold on, Christopher, I know I went
Speaker 1: out there and you got me cranked up. So let's pause,
Speaker 1: we'll bring you back, and I'll turn the floor back
Speaker 1: over to you for the spleen ben seven twenty six, Right, Now,
Speaker 1: if you have CARECD talk station or minind folks about
Speaker 1: affordable medical imaging because imaging does not have to cost
Speaker 1: you thousands of dollars. Talk about it all the time.
Speaker 1: How much money you can save by having an MRI,
Speaker 1: CT scan, echo cardiogram, ultra sound, lung screening, or cardiac
Speaker 1: scoring done at affordable imaging services where the overhead is low.
Speaker 1: It's low overhead, the equipment's the same, the experienced level
Speaker 1: of people operating it is the same as a hospital
Speaker 1: imaging department, and it's the demonstrably lower price. CT scan
Speaker 1: with a contrast is six hundred dollars. Okay, set you
Speaker 1: back five grand and you get a separate bill. You
Speaker 1: go to the hospital, you probably get a separate bill
Speaker 1: for the board certified radiologist. They have to have a report.
Speaker 1: Your doctor needs it, and it it's included. When you
Speaker 1: go to affordable imaging. Everyone's included has a board certified
Speaker 1: radiologist report. MRI with a contrast six forty five. You
Speaker 1: don't need a contrast, it's only four in a ninety
Speaker 1: five bucks. Echo cardiogram ford at a ninety five bucks
Speaker 1: and an Ultra sounds two fifty amazing difference call the hospital,
Speaker 1: ask them how much it's gonna cost you. You may
Speaker 1: get the run around, but you need to know what
Speaker 1: the price is going to be after insurance payment. And
Speaker 1: I bet it's going to be more out of your
Speaker 1: pocket with an insurance payment then the whole thing would
Speaker 1: cost you at Affordable Imaging Services, and that doesn't mean
Speaker 1: it won't be covered by insurance. Five on three seven,

Speaker 1: Station seven fifty five ker CD talk station Right tell
Speaker 1: Us with Christopher Smithman doing the Christopher smither and Us
Speaker 1: is on your mind today? Christopher, my friend.
Speaker 2: Well, the Daniel pennycase out of New York with Prosecutor Braggs.
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about it maybe with with with
Speaker 2: two different points. One, I think he's innocent. And when
Speaker 2: you think about people, and this is a case for
Speaker 2: the public listening where the military vet saved or protected
Speaker 2: people that were on a Subwaying on how you look
Speaker 2: at it, that's how I see it. The man got
Speaker 2: on the subway, said he was going to kill people,
Speaker 2: didn't care whether what happened to him, if he killed people,
Speaker 2: whatever his rhetoric was, it was clear that the people
Speaker 2: who testified in that trial said that they're felt like
Speaker 2: their lives were in danger. I think that Brags brought
Speaker 2: this case because the veteran was white and the victim
Speaker 2: was black. And see what we're bathing in in this country,
Speaker 2: in this identity politics, Brian, is that we can't even
Speaker 2: see the truth right in front of us because we're
Speaker 2: bathing in race. And so the reality of it is
Speaker 2: that you have these jurors who are going to make
Speaker 2: a decision probably this week. I hope they have the
Speaker 2: common sense to come to the conclusion that no security
Speaker 2: on these trains, the crime that's going crazy in New
Speaker 2: York and somebody getting on a subway saying they're going
Speaker 2: to kill people and someone taking action doesn't mean that
Speaker 2: they intentionally did anything. That's at the heart of it
Speaker 2: is did he intentionally mean to kill this person? And
Speaker 2: he didn't, And so this is all politically motivated by
Speaker 2: the prosecutor, and for me, it's just shameful. And I
Speaker 2: tell you, if they find him guilty, no one will intervene.
Speaker 11: Dah.
Speaker 1: I was waiting for that, no one will intervene. I
Speaker 1: was waiting to tell.
Speaker 2: You many people across the country will not intervene. So
Speaker 2: a lot of people are watching this and they're saying,
Speaker 2: you know, hey, you get into it. You know, you're
Speaker 2: out there shopping in one of the malls and somebody
Speaker 2: starts screaming, they're going to kill somebody, kill somebody. Hey,
Speaker 2: don't look for a lot of people to get involved.
Speaker 2: If they find this man guilty in New York.
Speaker 1: See, I think that is maybe a larger chunk of
Speaker 1: what they're trying to accomplish on this. Then the whole
Speaker 1: racial thing, that whole racial element may have allowed them
Speaker 1: to elevate this case to national attention where it would
Speaker 1: have been probably ignored if it was black on black
Speaker 1: or white on white. But the broader issue here, as
Speaker 1: for example, Second Amendment rights become more and more enshrined
Speaker 1: in even states where they would love to take those
Speaker 1: rights away from you. More and more people are going
Speaker 1: to be armed. And if you can't even defend your
Speaker 1: fellow human being, your fellow New york or with your
Speaker 1: bare hands from an attack, a violent attack, how often
Speaker 1: do you think people would actually raise their Second Amendment
Speaker 1: right and firearm to defend people from deadly, deadly violence
Speaker 1: or the threat of eminent apprehension of grievous bodily harm
Speaker 1: or death. People are I'm not using my gun, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get prosecuted for that. And you know damn well
Speaker 1: that a lot of prosecutors out there would go ahead
Speaker 1: and do that. Oh, sure, you saved a life, but
Speaker 1: here we're going to break down and analyze every bit
Speaker 1: of minutia in this case, forcing you to have to
Speaker 1: lawyer up to the tune of I don't know what
Speaker 1: a lawyer's going to cost you in New York, probably
Speaker 1: five hundred plus dollars an hour to defend you. You
Speaker 1: can't afford that. You roll over and yet into a
Speaker 1: plea agreement, So they get their little prosecutorial feather in
Speaker 1: their cab and further reduces someone's potential to defend their
Speaker 1: fellow man from a violent attack.
Speaker 2: And then at the end of all of this, you know,
Speaker 2: this veteran who stepped in to save lives, what was
Speaker 2: he supposed to do? Wait until the guy started killing.
Speaker 2: Somebody says, I'm going to kill people, and it doesn't
Speaker 2: matter to me what happens to me after I kill people.
Speaker 2: So he intervenes what happens to his life after this trial?
Speaker 2: I didn't know who Daniel Penny was. But now you've
Speaker 2: got his face everywhere on every major newspaper calling him
Speaker 2: essentially a racist, saying that this is a guy who
Speaker 2: intervened in a way that he shouldn't have intervened. So
Speaker 2: he's going to have to put his life back together.
Speaker 2: What's going to be interesting to me is if he
Speaker 2: turns around and starts filing some lawsuits against people who
Speaker 2: put stuff out that just weren't wasn't true. So my
Speaker 2: frustration in these case to the public, wait until you
Speaker 2: hear the evidence. When I hear are diverse people grid
Speaker 2: you know, it wasn't just white people on that dog
Speaker 2: on train. There were black and white people on that train.
Speaker 2: And everybody who testified said I thought my life was
Speaker 2: in danger. I was scared. I was really worried. We
Speaker 2: appreciate this man coming to our age. And it didn't
Speaker 2: matter the gender, it didn't matter the race. It was
Speaker 2: about their life, and they were saying my life was
Speaker 2: in danger.
Speaker 1: See, and that therein lies the point everybody felt reasonably
Speaker 1: so that their life was in danger. That is the
Speaker 1: point in time at which the use of deadly force
Speaker 1: is legally justified. If some guy just looks at you
Speaker 1: sideways on the subway train. You can't pull a gun
Speaker 1: out or put them in a headlock and crack their
Speaker 1: neck or whatever happened. You can't do it. But if
Speaker 1: your life, you are fearing for your life, then that's
Speaker 1: when deadly force is possible. I can't believe this case
Speaker 1: is even seen the light of trial. Obviously we talked
Speaker 1: about politically motivated cases. What the ultimate reason behind it
Speaker 1: is leaves us to speculate, given the facts in the
Speaker 1: case and what you just spelled out for everyone. But
Speaker 1: it seems like a travesty of justice that this poor
Speaker 1: man's been drugged through the system along these lines, and
Speaker 1: hopefully justice will prevail. He'll walk out a free man,
Speaker 1: and everybody that got well, had their lives saved perhaps
Speaker 1: from him, can throw them a big party in celebration.
Speaker 1: Pauls will bring you right back, Chris, for I know
Speaker 1: we got a little bit more to talk about. It
Speaker 1: is seven thirty five right now, and speaking of your
Speaker 1: Second Amendment rights, I was at twenty two to three
Speaker 1: firearms ranging gunshop on Friday morning with my neighbor Beth,
Speaker 1: and my neighbor Beth wanted to buy a firearm for
Speaker 1: her awesome husband, good friends of ours, and see I
Speaker 1: can say this out loud, it's not a surprise. He
Speaker 1: knew she was going to get it, but she asked
Speaker 1: me out front, you know where can I get this
Speaker 1: particular gun? I said, hold on, let me make a
Speaker 1: quick call. So I got in touch with Wendy. About
Speaker 1: two days later. It was in the store waiting for
Speaker 1: her to pick it up. So we made a nice
Speaker 1: out there. She got herself a case of Ammo at
Speaker 1: ten percent off on top of the already competitive prices
Speaker 1: at twenty two three. I'm not sure if that special
Speaker 1: is still going on. It's sure worth or call out there,
Speaker 1: because boy, what a great deal on the nine millimeter
Speaker 1: Ammo she bought, and a great deal on the firearm itself.
Speaker 1: So nice purchase for her. She's going to have a
Speaker 1: happy husband at Christmas time. At least I know he's
Speaker 1: happy already. I'll watched him open it up to make
Speaker 1: sure she got the right one back in the box.
Speaker 1: It went so andy. Just stare at it underneath the
Speaker 1: tree and look forward to the day after Christmas. But
Speaker 1: beyond that huge selection of firearms, great indoor range membership options,
Speaker 1: the prices are always again very very competitive. So it's

Speaker 1: back from vacation, I just want to know you had
Speaker 1: a time. I'm off next Monday. Retired Colonel Bob Kattyre.
Speaker 1: And I know you've met Bob before. He's done some
Speaker 1: active shooter safety training classes and some wine care classes
Speaker 1: and just a really all round brilliant guy and an
Speaker 1: amazing military career he had. I'm going to shoot fifty
Speaker 1: caliber rifles with him out at Camp Atterbury in Indiana. Again.
Speaker 1: I had a wonderful time doing that. So I've got
Speaker 1: a book to do next Monday, so I'm going to
Speaker 1: be off work next Monday. Just a heads up. I
Speaker 1: want to let you know.
Speaker 4: Ahead of you got it. Thank you so much, so much. Brother.
Speaker 2: Let me let me share with you something that's controversial,
Speaker 2: which was the OSU game. I want everybody to know.
Speaker 2: I graduated from the Ohio State University and obviously you
Speaker 2: know people who are in the sports, like even myself,
Speaker 2: but I have family that are saw that game at
Speaker 2: the end and saw the fight break out here.
Speaker 1: Iched the whole thing. I thought about you multiple times
Speaker 1: during that game. First off, the fact that they lost
Speaker 1: the game ten and one, what was it six and
Speaker 1: five team or something like that, Michigan arch Rivals, and
Speaker 1: they still came in and beat Ive State. I was
Speaker 1: in a room with fans who are rabbid Ohio State
Speaker 1: football fans. Their bad bubble was burst, and then at
Speaker 1: the end of the game, that's when that flag posting
Speaker 1: ceremony tried to take place, resulting in this big brawl.
Speaker 1: I was screaming the television, going, what a bunch of
Speaker 1: children just behaving like absolute children, And he and my
Speaker 1: friend Andy was defending the the teardown of how dare
Speaker 1: they plant that flag? How dare they that sacred ground?
Speaker 1: And I'm going scratching my head, going, oh, come on. Anyway,
Speaker 1: that was my experience. I don't want to steal any
Speaker 1: of your thunder, but I watched the whole thing, So
Speaker 1: go ahead.
Speaker 2: You know what I want to say is I think
Speaker 2: we're at this place in our culture with these young
Speaker 2: people where they just simply don't understand the standard that
Speaker 2: the standard bears that they must be even in the
Speaker 2: midst of complete cast Let me make it clear what
Speaker 2: Michigan did to provoke wrong and most likely authorities that
Speaker 2: are over these football teams need to stop it, not
Speaker 2: allow what to happen. I don't know, but at the
Speaker 2: end of the day, right, these young men have to
Speaker 2: learn how to conduct themselves. If you look at coaches
Speaker 2: forty fifty years ago, they had control of these players,
Speaker 2: players would not be out there fighting, punching each other
Speaker 2: in the face. Ultimately, where people had to be made
Speaker 2: in order to break up what was happening.
Speaker 1: They were running by on the field coming awful life.
Speaker 2: Sorry, and so what I want to say what Michigan did,
Speaker 2: in my opinion, was wrong. It was evocative, But we
Speaker 2: have to discipline our young people to be able to
Speaker 2: handle that type of you know, that type of thing
Speaker 2: that's happening, so that their emotional behavior. They're not out there, No,
Speaker 2: they're not out there on national TV. Then you saw
Speaker 2: it happen at the NFL level. It did job it
Speaker 2: was it was then then it then just bled over
Speaker 2: into the other games. I'm just saying, we're better than this.
Speaker 2: It's a football game. It's entertainment at the end of
Speaker 2: the day, and we have to make sure that we
Speaker 2: are setting an example for the generation behind us. I mean,
Speaker 2: we've got football games all over all over our city
Speaker 2: where where you and I live, all over our county
Speaker 2: where you and I live. We don't want to see
Speaker 2: young people engaging in this behavior, even when they believe
Speaker 2: that something they've been harmed. Let your coach go sort
Speaker 2: it out, you know, let the let the the administrators
Speaker 2: on the sideline sort it out. Not you go out
Speaker 2: there and say I'm going to solve this myself by
Speaker 2: starting to punch players in the state. I just think
Speaker 2: we're getting into a place, Brian Thomas, in our society, man,
Speaker 2: where anything goes we can call each other anything. We
Speaker 2: can mock each other in any kind of way.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, we've got to get to the point
Speaker 2: where we can control ourselves. That's my that's a person civility,
Speaker 2: And I want to end by just saying what former
Speaker 2: President Biden has done, right in my opinion, is shameful,
Speaker 2: and what it's going to do is going to open up.
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear anything from the left as
Speaker 2: an independent when President Trump takes office on January twentieth
Speaker 2: and starts sending out the partons that he probably will
Speaker 2: send out Brian Thomas, because I see CNN and MSNBC
Speaker 2: saluting this behavior, I'm saying this was a bad look
Speaker 2: from the White House. There have been a lot of
Speaker 2: bad looks, but this was another bad look.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I agree with you completely. And the
Speaker 1: predicate for part of it was him, but Joe President
Speaker 1: Biden saying this was unfair treatment, that nobody else would
Speaker 1: have been drugged through the dirt like this, and if
Speaker 1: it wasn't his son, that they would have been given
Speaker 1: a pass. He would have been given time to make
Speaker 1: good on his tax payments, and he could have unrung
Speaker 1: the bell of the form or whatever, and wouldn't have
Speaker 1: faced prosecution or in prison time. And I'm gonna say, well, okay,
Speaker 1: move away from that subject matter and look at the
Speaker 1: January sixth protesters. Now, if you go in and you
Speaker 1: beat someone over the head with a flagpole, that's a battery.
Speaker 1: You deserve to maybe go to jail for something like that.
Speaker 1: But just walking into the Capitol building because you were
Speaker 1: invited by members of law enforcement who apparently didn't think
Speaker 1: it was that big of a deal and strolled around
Speaker 1: and looked around and didn't do anything that you would
Speaker 1: be prosecuted and ended up in jail. Oh, come on,
Speaker 1: that is not gonna happen really under any other circumstance
Speaker 1: except for the involvement of Donald Trump supporters and this
Speaker 1: idea of overturning the election. Those folks have been ill
Speaker 1: treated and mistreated in their Some people riding away in
Speaker 1: jail who would never be there under any other comparable circumstances.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, see all of the property destruction and violence
Speaker 1: from the anti file folks and the folks who took
Speaker 1: over buildings and burned them to the ground, who through
Speaker 1: molotov cocktails and frozen water bottles, a member of law
Speaker 1: enforcement who destroyed police cars. You know, don't know that
Speaker 1: any umfaced prosecution. You certainly didn't read about it much.
Speaker 1: But wow, you walk around the Capitol Building on January
Speaker 1: firsta and you are a hardcore fellon who needs to
Speaker 1: be locked up for as long as possible.
Speaker 2: And I want to say, if you talk to African
Speaker 2: American voters, right, and they would tell you over the
Speaker 2: last thirty forty years, there's a sense that there were
Speaker 2: people who were over prosecuted for things like low amounts
Speaker 2: of marijuana in California, who spent four or five ten
Speaker 2: years of their life for very small out of marijuana.
Speaker 2: As an example, they wake up this morning seeing the
Speaker 2: President of the United States, the Democrat, right, who many
Speaker 2: of them probably voted for, saying I'm going to partner
Speaker 2: my son for things he actually did and I'm not
Speaker 2: even going to let him be prosecuted, and I'm going
Speaker 2: to do it over a ten year window of time.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, what do you think Biden is doing? You
Speaker 2: think Biden is looking at these on the margin cases
Speaker 2: that probably he should really extend some pardons to people
Speaker 2: that are not his family members who probably were over prosecuted.
Speaker 2: And by the way, what really set this election on
Speaker 2: fire in many parts of the African American community was
Speaker 2: they were saying, look at what they're doing to former
Speaker 2: President Trump with this lawgate stuff, this over prosecution. I'm
Speaker 2: going to take your property in New York. I'm going
Speaker 2: to put you in jail. Whatever the Lawgate cases were,
Speaker 2: there were a lot of African American voters that said,
Speaker 2: if that could happen to Trump, it could happen to me.
Speaker 2: Well guess what it was happening to some of them.
Speaker 2: And Biden won't even look at those cases. My friend,
Speaker 2: my brother Brian Thomas, the only case that he's concerned
Speaker 2: about is his son and his son who has broken
Speaker 2: the law for at least the last decade and most
Speaker 2: likely doing the bidding of his father.
Speaker 1: Amen exclamation point bold, all caps. Christopher Smithman with the
Speaker 1: Smith Vent every Monday here in the fifty five KRC
Speaker 1: Morning Show. Again. I won't be around next Monday, Christopher,
Speaker 1: but I know I'm looking forward to talking with you,
Speaker 1: whether we do it the following day or whenever we
Speaker 1: get together again. You're always a blessing to have on
Speaker 1: my program, and God bless you. Sir and your family.
Speaker 1: We'll talk again real.
Speaker 4: Soon, Okay.
Speaker 1: Right at vote Smithman on former X or former Twitter
Speaker 1: some forty eight, right now at five kerc DE talk station. Well,
Speaker 1: how about a better feeling in twenty twenty five, it's
Speaker 1: almost upon us. How about getting rid of the joint
Speaker 1: pain once and for all? Can you see kinetics patients
Speaker 1: are able to walk up, walk up and downstairs down,
Speaker 1: get up with that struggling when they formally had problems
Speaker 1: with that. That's right, knee pain, hip pain, shoulder pain.
Speaker 1: You've been going through that. You got to say goodbye
Speaker 1: to it. Try a different way, because right there your
Speaker 1: surgeon is standing there with a knife saying surgery time. Well,
Speaker 1: you got another option. That's QC kinetics. Medical professionals waiting
Speaker 1: to talk to you about treatments in the office with
Speaker 1: no downtown events. Protocols in regenerative medicine have helped tens
Speaker 1: of thousands of people, apparently with lasting relief. So imagine
Speaker 1: a new year without the achy joints. Q SE kinetics
Speaker 1: healing properties of your own body, and they place them
Speaker 1: in the root cause of your pain, right there where
Speaker 1: the pain is revalutizing your joints so you can move again.
Speaker 1: It's future of medicine. So you've been told surgery is
Speaker 1: your only option or you have to stick stuck with
Speaker 1: pain pills, and there's another way. And it's a free consultation.
Speaker 1: Find out if this may work for you. Call to
Speaker 1: schedule the appointment. It's five one three eighty four seven
Speaker 1: zero zero one nine five one three eight four seven
Speaker 1: zero zero.
Speaker 11: One nine fifty five. I have KRC.
Speaker 1: You're about it.
Speaker 2: Understand the ignorant pick on the campuses.
Speaker 1: Talk about it.
Speaker 7: They're just getting away with all this rather than know
Speaker 7: in fact.
Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC eight O five. On Monday, if you
Speaker 1: buy a pair CD talk station means one thing for certain,
Speaker 1: it is time for money Monday with Brian Jeans Brian
Speaker 1: Smallworth financially financial Planners. That's why we talked to him
Speaker 1: about money matters. Welcome back, Brian James, like, I hope
Speaker 1: you had even a fraction of as great of a
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving as I had. My friend.
Speaker 13: I enjoyed this weekend so much right up until Ohio
Speaker 13: State and then yesterday was not exactly a winner.
Speaker 1: Here we are right we're still here. We're a week
Speaker 1: and we survived. So I presume from that stated that
Speaker 1: you are an Ohio State University fan.
Speaker 13: I'll say it doesn't ruin my weekend when they lose.
Speaker 13: I'm not that rabbit about it, but it does. Being
Speaker 13: from Cincinnati, you just kind of tend to get sucked
Speaker 13: into all of the whatever you can grab onto that
Speaker 13: may have a shot of winning something.
Speaker 1: And yet again here we are well and it was
Speaker 1: the prison zumed outcome it. Ohigo State was going to
Speaker 1: walk away with that when having a ten and one record,
Speaker 1: and obviously that didn't happen. I was in a room
Speaker 1: with two of the most rabid Ohio State football fans
Speaker 1: you could ever find on the planet, so it was
Speaker 1: a rather interesting afternoon for us. Anyhow. Well, though, everybody.
Speaker 13: Should remember there is a school fighting for a championship
Speaker 13: with the name Ohio in it. The fighting Ohio Bobcats
Speaker 13: go against Miami here next weekend. So you Ohio State fans,
Speaker 13: if you feel like you're out of it, grab a
Speaker 13: green Ohio for a little bit.
Speaker 1: And my daughter has two degrees from the Ohio State University,
Speaker 1: so it doesn't mean a whit's worth of anything to
Speaker 1: me at all. And you're not gonna buy what I
Speaker 1: just said. No, no, I'm not going to buy what
Speaker 1: you just said. Doesn't matter anyhow, real quick here, I
Speaker 1: just mentioned it going to the break, And I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: You're obviously a financial planner, but I don't know how
Speaker 1: closely you follow futures markets. Apparently, if you were invested
Speaker 1: in the futures markets with coffee, coffee prices are up
Speaker 1: seventy percent so far this year. Apparently they're global problems
Speaker 1: with dry conditions and crop yield and all that. But
Speaker 1: when I think about coffee, you know, you think about
Speaker 1: what I consider an absolute waste of money, spending five
Speaker 1: six seven dollars for a cup of coffee the Starbucks.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine it going up seventy percent? I mean,
Speaker 1: is that even possible?
Speaker 13: You know, it'll be interesting to see it. And it's been,
Speaker 13: like you said, it's been up that way all year long.
Speaker 13: And every time I drive by my local neighborhood Starbucks,
Speaker 13: the line is out the door. It's not the most
Speaker 13: intelligently organized parking lot, so the cars extend almost out
Speaker 13: on the Cincinnati Dayton Road. But yeah, so I think
Speaker 13: Starbucks for whatever reason, has a hold on society in
Speaker 13: a way that not a lot of companies do, where
Speaker 13: people just say, Okay, I guess that's what it's costs,
Speaker 13: and I have to have it, so therefore we're going
Speaker 13: to wait in this line and pay a little bit more.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: I still go back to the fact that I can
Speaker 1: basically brew like thirty five pots of coffee for about
Speaker 1: thirteen dollars worth of dark roasted coffee from Starbucks. Make
Speaker 1: it at home. It tastes great anyway. Moving over to
Speaker 1: migration trends, the top states people are moving to are
Speaker 1: Southern states, and immediately bursting the bubble of why I
Speaker 1: guess people would be moving to Southern states, very tiny
Speaker 1: percentage one percent say they're moving there because of the weather.
Speaker 1: I walked outside today, you know, walking into eighteen degree
Speaker 1: blast the cold there, and I come in and I
Speaker 1: see that as your number one topic today is well,
Speaker 1: of course they're moving to Southern states. Who what's the
Speaker 1: deal with this crap? Nope, that's not it so yet,
Speaker 1: not for the reasons we're used to it.
Speaker 13: And I think the thing the interesting part about this
Speaker 13: article is normally when we talk about this stuff, it's
Speaker 13: usually under the guise of where are people retiring to? Well,
Speaker 13: this article is a little bit different. This is just
Speaker 13: talking people in general, where are they moving to? So
Speaker 13: this comes from the National Association of Realtors twenty twenty
Speaker 13: four Migration Trends report. Only one percent of people who
Speaker 13: moved cited climate related reasons for the relocation. The biggest reason,
Speaker 13: Brian was a forty two percent said housing related reason. Yeah,
Speaker 13: twenty six percent said they're going to be closer to family.
Speaker 13: Only about sixteen percent said they're moving for job opportunities.
Speaker 13: So many many different reasons here, and some of these
Speaker 13: I got to look at that. Remember this this survey
Speaker 13: covered everybody who moved. So those who moved to be
Speaker 13: closer to family, my guess is going to be someone
Speaker 13: younger in their family already moved to these states because
Speaker 13: he's also happened to be where the growth is happening.
Speaker 13: And so older folks followed the people who moved for
Speaker 13: job reasons.
Speaker 1: Which seems like a retirement related trend. And we have
Speaker 1: dear friends who've done exactly that. You know, they're retired
Speaker 1: and then their sons or daughters end up employed in
Speaker 1: Colorado or wherever, and they're like, well, we're moving want
Speaker 1: to be closer to the grand should want to be
Speaker 1: closer to the children. Understand all day long about that.
Speaker 1: But housing and housing is so damn expensive. We know
Speaker 1: there's a housing shortage. It just seems to me and
Speaker 1: I pray for the people in West Virginia all the
Speaker 1: time on a theoretical level, just because you know, West
Speaker 1: Virginia is never on the top ten in anything except
Speaker 1: for bad economic outcomes and numbers. But wow, if you're
Speaker 1: looking for housing affordability, I mean, that seems to be
Speaker 1: one of the states to go to. But their net
Speaker 1: out migration is four thousand people during this survey part,
Speaker 1: so they're losing more people than gaining them. They are,
Speaker 1: but that's.
Speaker 13: Where you know, think about the basic principles of economics,
Speaker 13: supply and demand. People are demanding houses, and you want
Speaker 13: to cheap house with them. That's an area you might look.
Speaker 13: Now that's going to come along with some struggles and
Speaker 13: some frustrations as some of the amenities you might be
Speaker 13: looking for aren't going to exist there because that's what
Speaker 13: drives demand for housing in specific areas. But there is
Speaker 13: there are reasons to move to those places and that's
Speaker 13: one of them.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, fair enough. Now we're moving over to
Speaker 1: something that's kind of quickly going the way to the
Speaker 1: dough though it's been around for a while, but a
Speaker 1: lot of major companies are getting rid of their diversity
Speaker 1: equity inclusion departments. And I know, at least my personal standpoint,
Speaker 1: you have a fiduciary obligation as a financial planner to
Speaker 1: your clients to maximize the return on the money you
Speaker 1: are and have invested for them. And moving to woke investing,
Speaker 1: investing that looks more at the company's diversity policies. Equity
Speaker 1: and inclusion policies is not a recipe for sound financial planning,
Speaker 1: and more and more investors are moving away from that
Speaker 1: because they do view it as a breach of their
Speaker 1: fiduciary obligations. But the idea of even having a diversity
Speaker 1: equity inclusion department and the problems that brings abound within
Speaker 1: these companies isn't a great business model, so they're moving
Speaker 1: away from it.
Speaker 13: Yeah, So the headline here is a lot of big
Speaker 13: companies are swinging back from the focus they've taken on
Speaker 13: these DEI, which stands for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives,
Speaker 13: and a lot of this is coming from conservative.
Speaker 1: Groups, state legislatures, just political pressure. So here's some examples.
Speaker 1: Walmart announced that they're no longer going.
Speaker 13: To be participating in the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index.
Speaker 13: They've also discontinued selling LGBTQ related items on their website
Speaker 13: as well as they've stopped a lot of the racial
Speaker 13: equity training, and they've limited the term latin X from
Speaker 13: from their their their glossary there. Molsen cores similar similar decisions.
Speaker 13: Ford Motor Company h has removed hiring quotas, Harley Davidson,
Speaker 13: and Low's all these companies have actually made active decisions
Speaker 13: in very at very recent times here to reduce the
Speaker 13: exposure they've got to these initiatives. Now, per what you
Speaker 13: just said, Yeah, I very much agree that the you know,
Speaker 13: it can be important to investors. And I have clients
Speaker 13: for whom DEI is important. It's just their beliefs and
Speaker 13: we can we can handle that in certain ways. I
Speaker 13: also have clients who have the opposite belief and and
Speaker 13: feel that there should be you know, restrictions among companies
Speaker 13: on some other things.
Speaker 1: We can invest that way too.
Speaker 13: However, none of it has anything to do with a
Speaker 13: decision you would make or your success in in retiring,
Speaker 13: because you're simply adding a layer. All that matters when
Speaker 13: you're when you're trying to retire really is mass and
Speaker 13: it's profitability. You're adding a layer that does not impact
Speaker 13: profitability in a positive way.
Speaker 1: No matter what you do.
Speaker 13: If you're going to add some kind of political beliefs
Speaker 13: to the overall managery for portfolio, you are not helping
Speaker 13: yourself retire, not necessarily hurting, but it's not going to
Speaker 13: put you in a better position. I think a lot
Speaker 13: of people feel like if I have a certain type
Speaker 13: of portfolio that eliminates this, it will perform better because
Speaker 13: those are bad things. That's not the case, right, because
Speaker 13: the profitability comes from much different things than that.
Speaker 1: Well. Be like, if you want, as a matter of morality,
Speaker 1: you can take your money out of Raytheon or any
Speaker 1: one of the other military industrial complex companies which seem
Speaker 1: to be doing pretty well right now and given the world,
Speaker 1: or you can say I don't want to participate in
Speaker 1: climate change, so I'm not going to invest in refining
Speaker 1: companies or oil companies, although if you had, you might
Speaker 1: find that those provide an even better return than something else.
Speaker 1: So I understand making it as a personal choice, but
Speaker 1: it will have an impact on your overall earnings over
Speaker 1: the years period. End of story. So you're entitled to
Speaker 1: do that.
Speaker 13: They're spending money on these programs, and this both emboldens
Speaker 13: my faith and the overall stock market and increases my
Speaker 13: or reinforces my cynisis in the world as a whole.
Speaker 13: Because here's what's happening. Think of how quickly this headline
Speaker 13: came up on the headline or on the on the
Speaker 13: tail of the presidential election. Here, we've just had a
Speaker 13: massive political swing and pretty much notibate about it. The
Speaker 13: US has swung more conservative and uh, and that that
Speaker 13: comes with a lot of thought processes that would eliminate
Speaker 13: these types of programs. We are eliminating things that swung
Speaker 13: into effect during the Obama administration. So you got to think,
Speaker 13: why are companies doing this. Are they doing this because
Speaker 13: they think it's good for society or they think it's
Speaker 13: good for profitability or whatever.
Speaker 1: The answer is all profitability.
Speaker 13: But every single time that the prevailing wins right now
Speaker 13: are conservative, that means get rid of our DEI programs.
Speaker 13: And I'm rest assured if ten ten years from now
Speaker 13: it swings back the other way, they're going to come
Speaker 13: roaring right back.
Speaker 1: Yes, they will, no doubt about that. They always roll
Speaker 1: with the punches, whatever punches they're dealt with, and they
Speaker 1: do as best they can to make money under any environment,
Speaker 1: and that's the way it should be. I guess I
Speaker 1: just wonder, you know, I'm looking at the history and
Speaker 1: what happened to bud Light and how that had totally
Speaker 1: blown them out of the water in terms of people's
Speaker 1: enjoyment of bud Light as a beverage because of that
Speaker 1: Dylan mulvainy thing. Jaguar didn't obviously learn a lesson from
Speaker 1: that one. With the most recent ad campaign featuring a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of people and no product. It was all
Speaker 1: woke sort of people in crazy colored clothes and gender
Speaker 1: neutral and all this, and the backlash was amazing, sort
Speaker 1: of Dylan mulvaney bud Light esque. But the funniest part
Speaker 1: about it is they didn't even feature any of their cars.
Speaker 13: It's funny you mentioned bud Light because with one of
Speaker 13: the companies in the list we just highlighted before that
Speaker 13: cited in this article is Mulsen Core.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Now that sounds like two relatively smaller brands of beer.
Speaker 13: But remember that's also Miller Lite. So Miller Lte learned
Speaker 13: a lot more from the bud Light debacle than bud
Speaker 13: Light did it. I would say they were able to
Speaker 13: quietly say, huh, look what happened to those guys, Well,
Speaker 13: let's go nowhere near that, and they never got dragged
Speaker 13: in the headlines.
Speaker 1: See that's a sound business decision. We'll bring Brian James
Speaker 1: back more with Money Monday, we're to talk about your
Speaker 1: appropriate allocations in your retirement plan and Black Friday apparently
Speaker 1: breaking some sales records. Will there be any more brick
Speaker 1: and mortar stores down the road. Let's just excuse me.
Speaker 1: This is money money. Let me mention Foreign Exchange because,
Speaker 1: as I always like to mention, the bottom line is
Speaker 1: your bottom line at Foreign Exchange the Westchester locations where
Speaker 1: I recommend it. Take your traditional manufactured imported car or Now,
Speaker 1: congratulations for all those guys at Foreign Exchange getting certified
Speaker 1: to fix Teslas. So you Tesla owners down there have
Speaker 1: an opportunity to save some money when you're having your
Speaker 1: automobile repaired. Foreign Exchange full warranty on parts and service
Speaker 1: ase certified master technicians working on your car, and less
Speaker 1: money to have it fixed compared to the dealer. It's
Speaker 1: always the case. I have learned over the years how
Speaker 1: much money I have saved at Foreign Exchange, which I
Speaker 1: love recommending them to you. They will treat you great.
Speaker 1: Austin has an amazing team at Foreign Exchange. Think about
Speaker 1: getting your car service for winter. Have the battery check
Speaker 1: to have the fluid levels taken care of. Get ahead
Speaker 1: of the you're gonna face when you're in a sub
Speaker 1: zero condition like oh, eighteen degrees in a parking lot
Speaker 1: when you wake up in the morning. You don't want
Speaker 1: a situation where your car doesn't function. Get ahead of it.
Speaker 1: Have it checked out at Foreign Exchange. So better than
Speaker 1: the dealer because you save a heapload of money. Again,
Speaker 1: the full warranty on parts and service foreign X. That's
Speaker 1: foreign the letter X dot com. Tylersville exit off of
Speaker 1: seventy five. Go east Tylersville East off seventy five, two
Speaker 1: streets hanging right on Kinglin. You are at the Westchester location,
Speaker 1: and that is where my wife and I take our cars.
Speaker 1: Head on over there. Tell them, Brian said, HOHI whan
Speaker 1: you do fifty five car the talk station? Should I
Speaker 1: have eight twenty one fifty five PARACD talk station. Brian
Speaker 1: Thomas with all Worth Financials, Brian Change doing money Monday. Hey, Brian,
Speaker 1: seems to me we talk about this think during our last
Speaker 1: conversation about your allocations and your retirement plan, and this
Speaker 1: Baron's article suggests you should have no more than sixty
Speaker 1: percent of your retirement money in stocks.
Speaker 13: Yeah, this is another case of read the article as
Speaker 13: well as the headline. But the headline is why no
Speaker 13: more than sixty percent of your retirement money belongs in stocks?
Speaker 1: Now, First off, this was.
Speaker 13: Written by a gentleman named Mark Hulbert, who is a
Speaker 13: he's a financial analyst. I've seen him before. He is
Speaker 13: in his late fifties himself, so he has sneaking up on.
Speaker 13: It's not that great of a sacrifice for him to
Speaker 13: say that to make this commitment. So, but his argument
Speaker 13: is that no one's sixty percent should be invested in stocks,
Speaker 13: and he's comparing it to what he calls the glide
Speaker 13: pass strategy, which is what a lot of people do.
Speaker 13: When I'm the younger, I am, the more aggressive I
Speaker 13: am and then slowly making that more conservative over time.
Speaker 13: His assessment is that his analysis shows that a constant
Speaker 13: sixty forty stock bond allocation often outperforms the glide pass
Speaker 13: strategy over a forty year period. Now, that doesn't match
Speaker 13: anything I've ever read in my thirty years in this industry.
Speaker 13: So when you read further into this article, if your
Speaker 13: eyes haven't glazed over yet, what you see is that
Speaker 13: he's using data going all the way back to seventeen
Speaker 13: ninety three.
Speaker 1: Holy So, which is interesting. I've not seen this study
Speaker 1: like this.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 13: Most of the time we talk about market history, we're
Speaker 13: usually looking at data, and you'll see references in the
Speaker 13: vineprint that it talks about nineteen twenty six forward, because
Speaker 13: that's about as far back as you can go and
Speaker 13: have something that kind of sorder resembles the S and
Speaker 13: P five hundred with enough stocks.
Speaker 1: In it, and also in a time you know prior
Speaker 1: to that era, and you know, obviously this takes us
Speaker 1: up to the Nixon administration, but back in an era
Speaker 1: when money actually was tied to a commodity like gold
Speaker 1: or silver. And it seems to me, not having any
Speaker 1: experience in all this, that change in the theat currency
Speaker 1: might also have had some sort of market impact over
Speaker 1: the years, so the parallels maybe not exactly the same.
Speaker 13: Absolutely, and you just clued into why I'm kind of
Speaker 13: discounting this entire article because he's pulling stuff out of
Speaker 13: history when the environment was simply different. I think the
Speaker 13: biggest point of this, Brian is the large period of
Speaker 13: time he's looking at includes all of the nineteenth century,
Speaker 13: the eighteen hundreds, where bonds were the way that investors
Speaker 13: and businesses got.
Speaker 1: Access to capital. It wasn't by stocks.
Speaker 13: Stocks were considered speculative and too risky.
Speaker 1: Excuse me. Bonds were the way to do it.
Speaker 13: If you gave stocks away, if you sold stocks, you
Speaker 13: gave up equity in your company. Now we solved that
Speaker 13: in the twentieth century by creating share class upon share class.
Speaker 13: Upon share class, you had a shares, B shares, C shares,
Speaker 13: preferred shares. You didn't have to give up your voting
Speaker 13: rights to sell those shares. Nowadays, and it's become clear
Speaker 13: that you can make a lot more money by creating
Speaker 13: an enormous amount of hype around a startup company, getting
Speaker 13: the stock to bounce early on, and then flipping it
Speaker 13: within the first few years of existence of the company,
Speaker 13: versus selling thirty year bonds.
Speaker 1: So I'm not buying this article out. I'm with you
Speaker 1: on that, and that to me, see that to me
Speaker 1: illustrates more than anything that this is. It's not connected
Speaker 1: with reality. You know, memes stocks can make people millions
Speaker 1: of dollars and the companies aren't worth Jack Squad. We
Speaker 1: aren't looking at pe ratios anymore. We're just looking at
Speaker 1: like sort of flavor of the moment where you jump in,
Speaker 1: take advantage, and jump out. Now, that's the way it works.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's illegal to do it, but you
Speaker 1: got to remember what you're doing does not bear any
Speaker 1: connection with the reality of the company that you're at
Speaker 1: least temporarily investing in.
Speaker 13: Yeah, and if you're going to look at an article
Speaker 13: like this and decide that this is for you, because
Speaker 13: you know, some people will be attracted to this notion
Speaker 13: because hey, it sounds more conservative than stock market and
Speaker 13: some people are just suspicious till the end of time
Speaker 13: about stocks, And that's understandable because it has been crazy.
Speaker 13: But the other thing you have to remember is that
Speaker 13: in the nineteenth century, we had we had speculative booms.
Speaker 1: That's not a new phenomenon.
Speaker 13: We had speculative booms and things like tulips in the
Speaker 13: Netherlands as well as.
Speaker 1: You know, the the original Dutch East India Company.
Speaker 13: All those boring things we learned about in grade school
Speaker 13: that come up for me fairly often because you know,
Speaker 13: just reminding clients that none of the crazy we're going
Speaker 13: through is new. It just seems new because things are
Speaker 13: just a lot louder with social media and all those things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and real time reported with social media too. So actually,
Speaker 1: a market like a meme stock market couldn't necessarily exis
Speaker 1: functionally in the old days. You need that quick there.
Speaker 1: It is all the hype that pops up on social
Speaker 1: media literally everywhere, and then the bubble gets burst and
Speaker 1: people move on and take their losses or their winnings
Speaker 1: as the case may be. But anyhow, I appreciate your
Speaker 1: thoughtful analysis on that one, Brian. We'really looking forward to
Speaker 1: our next conversation about Black Friday, which isn't anymore one
Speaker 1: more with Monday Monday's Brian, James, don't go away. I'll
Speaker 1: be right back. The most memorable toy I got for
Speaker 1: Christmas skateboard, the easy bake oven.
Speaker 9: I got a radio one year and I would listen
Speaker 9: to it all the time.
Speaker 1: Radio the toy that tells the story. It was like

Speaker 1: KRCD talk Station, Happy Monday, Brian James, Monday Monday on
Speaker 1: the program right now, moving over to Black Friday, Brian James.
Speaker 1: I'm a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas season. Christmas
Speaker 1: season in the Thomas household, and I know people feel
Speaker 1: differently about this, and quite often strongly. We put the
Speaker 1: tree up after Thanksgiving. Should have put it up yesterday.
Speaker 1: It was a traditional day, but neither of us felt
Speaker 1: like it. So it's gonna happen to it. But that's when
Speaker 1: the Christmas season for us kicks in. And the Christmas season,
Speaker 1: of course also involves holiday gift buying. And you know
Speaker 1: it used to be going to the mall and getting
Speaker 1: all geared up, and yes, the day after Thanksgiving was
Speaker 1: the day it all kicked in. Black Friday. The malls
Speaker 1: will be packed, people be fighting, There'll be stories in
Speaker 1: the paper about it. And then along came online sales
Speaker 1: and Black Friday sort of has become this online phenomena.
Speaker 1: But it's also lasts longer than just one day. How
Speaker 1: Black Friday deals kicked in more than a week ago.
Speaker 1: So this black is this Black Friday now going to
Speaker 1: become the season, a Black Friday season extending backwards and
Speaker 1: forwards for longer periods of time before we get to
Speaker 1: the actual numbers that came in. Yeah, so I think
Speaker 1: you're right.
Speaker 13: But Black Friday, it doesn't happen on Friday anymore. And
Speaker 13: that's almost not even the centerpiece. It's just just kind
Speaker 13: of the label of a general, fuzzy period of time
Speaker 13: that we buy a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1: So but still as always as it.
Speaker 13: Happens every year, as long as the economy is doing Okay,
Speaker 13: we talk about how this year's sales are going to
Speaker 13: be record breaking, we're going to see more than we've
Speaker 13: ever seen before, and that's the headlines now. So but
Speaker 13: I looked, Brian, I remember, you know, fifteen twenty years ago,
Speaker 13: which is about how old my kids are. I remember
Speaker 13: when they were younger, there was always a toy. There
Speaker 13: was tickle Me Elmo, there was the Tamagatchi, and there
Speaker 13: was all there was all these other things. There was
Speaker 13: one big thing everybody had. Half that doesn't seem to
Speaker 13: happen anymore because there's just so much stuff out there.
Speaker 13: I just did a quick search for the most popular
Speaker 13: twenty twenty four Black Friday deals, and it's all stuff
Speaker 13: that's been out forever. It's Apple, AirPods, dice and vacuum cleaners, UHD, TVs,
Speaker 13: things like that.
Speaker 1: It's nothing new, hum but nothing to really dry, anything
Speaker 1: but crap. And people don't want to buy figurines that
Speaker 1: remind them of crappy movies that they watched. Anyway, sorry
Speaker 1: he had to interject that point, But you know, but
Speaker 1: online sales have what has gone up rather dramatically, and
Speaker 1: one would expect that it's easy to purchase online. All
Speaker 1: the sales are right there. It's easy to get people
Speaker 1: to engage in impulse buying. Most notably, if the extra
Speaker 1: fifteen bucks is going to get your free shipping to
Speaker 1: your house, you go ahead and add one more thing
Speaker 1: to your Amazon basket to get just that. I participated.
Speaker 1: We've got a substantial discount and a couple of replacement
Speaker 1: no stick skillets we needed, and a three pack of
Speaker 1: bubble lights which I got for a couple of dollars
Speaker 1: off delivered to my front door. So I understand the
Speaker 1: ease of it. But I think that's one of the
Speaker 1: reasons why online sales are so successful, because Yeah, you
Speaker 1: can go right there, you can see the discount, you
Speaker 1: can compare to what you were going to pay, but
Speaker 1: also that impulse buy probably results in a whole lot
Speaker 1: more money being spent than otherwise would have.
Speaker 13: Yeah, and Christmas season for me, for my family now
Speaker 13: consists of let's put the tree up at some point,
Speaker 13: and then let's put on Christmas Vacation or Christmas Story
Speaker 13: or whatever, and we'll all sit there and watch it.
Speaker 13: My wife and I are buying stuff online on our phones,
Speaker 13: and the kids have no idea, so we're not going
Speaker 13: anywhere near the stores or anything like that. It's the
Speaker 13: convenience of it and the fact that you can save
Speaker 13: just as much money by doing it online.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 13: I think another thing that's happening here, Brian, is for
Speaker 13: the advent of social media. That's allowing advertisers and businesses
Speaker 13: to get access to sellers so much more quickly and
Speaker 13: so much more frequently that they can extend past Black
Speaker 13: They don't have to wait for Black Friday to make
Speaker 13: a big splash. Amazon Prime has their own Day, Walmart
Speaker 13: has Walmart Deals that happens in July. Individual companies can
Speaker 13: go chase a campaign and get away from the noise that.
Speaker 1: Is Black Friday.
Speaker 13: But we're still putting up records because we are still
Speaker 13: a very spendee society and I do not see that changing.
Speaker 1: You know, It's strange you mentioned the separate you know,
Speaker 1: Walmart deal Day and all that. It tends to illustrate
Speaker 1: at least I hope it does, because it does for
Speaker 1: me all the time that they're still making a profit.
Speaker 1: I would argue, for the most part, even though it's
Speaker 1: fifteen percent off or twenty percent off, they're just taking
Speaker 1: away their margin a little bit. So throughout the year,
Speaker 1: if you're not buying it on sale, you just got
Speaker 1: to point out to yourself that, well, I am literally
Speaker 1: paying at least twenty percent more or than if I
Speaker 1: just waited around for one of these deal days to
Speaker 1: show up, So why not wait? Exactly?
Speaker 13: Can Can you imagine Brian walking into Cohle's without a coupon,
Speaker 13: and heaven forbid, nobody pays regular price there. That's Coal's
Speaker 13: flavor of it. They've always got double digit coupons out there,
Speaker 13: and then there's never not some kind of clearance going on.
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. And then finally when what we do
Speaker 1: Black Friday, which really isn't as I just tointed it out,
Speaker 1: but Cyber Monday is that is that today?
Speaker 13: That is today, Cyber Monday, Small Business Saturday a couple
Speaker 13: days ago.
Speaker 1: Today is Cyber Monday, which is really no different.
Speaker 13: If you're an online Black Friday shopper, then there's really
Speaker 13: no difference betwet Cyber Monday, Black Friday. But some good
Speaker 13: deals out there to be had. I'm gonna pull the
Speaker 13: trigger on some Christmas gifts today.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, good luck online shopping, and of course,
Speaker 1: mind your financial plan when doing so, Brian, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: want you to get yourself into a problem financially because
Speaker 1: you feel obligated to go out and buy more gifts
Speaker 1: than you can actually pay for. I feel like I've
Speaker 1: heard that somewhere before. I may have you may have
Speaker 1: mentioned that to somebody over your thirty years career as
Speaker 1: a financial planner, Brian, looking for I won't be around
Speaker 1: next Monday, as I mentioned earlier, I'm off to Fort
Speaker 1: Adderbury again with my good friend, retired Lieutenant Colonel Bob
Speaker 1: Kattire to hit fifty caliber rifles on the long distance range.
Speaker 1: So we will talk in two weeks and between now
Speaker 1: and then, best to health you and everybody at all
Speaker 1: worth financial. Thanks for being on the program. You too,
Speaker 1: Happy holidays. Thanks brother eight thirty five ifty five KR.
Speaker 1: See the talk stations stick around. We got more to
Speaker 1: talk about and I'd love to hear from you. If
Speaker 1: you've got a comment you want to make, feel free
Speaker 1: to call five one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty two to three talk or hit
Speaker 1: pound five fifty on AT and T phones. Right back.
Speaker 9: This is fifty five KRC, an iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 1: Hey, it's the talk station. If you're having a decent Monday,
Speaker 1: always learned something with Brian James. Monday, Monday tomorrow. Of
Speaker 1: course it's Tuesday, meaning we're gonna have the bright part
Speaker 1: inside Scoop at Ato five, follow by the Daniel Davis
Speaker 1: Deep Dive. Whor'se The situation Ukraine not looking good and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call me earlier to say Rush is having
Speaker 1: some real terrific financial problems, probably in part at having
Speaker 1: to fund a war in Ukraine, but also because of
Speaker 1: the ruble. Now I'm going to have to look into
Speaker 1: that one, because I didn't hear anything specific, and gosh
Speaker 1: darn it, I should ask Brian James all about that anyhow,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you think it's a good idea
Speaker 1: or not. I was thinking, you know, it sounds like
Speaker 1: a good idea, and you know, most people aren't really
Speaker 1: like lovers of the pharmaceutical industry generally speaking. Obviously very profitable,
Speaker 1: but a life saving industry. I mean, I can't mock
Speaker 1: what they do. Of course, I do have a copy
Speaker 1: of the Pfiser papers now, after interviewing the editor last
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, and so my copy it
Speaker 1: is a very large hard copy, almost looks like a
Speaker 1: coffee table book. But you can get that interview and
Speaker 1: get yourself a copy of the book from the Pfiser Papers.
Speaker 1: It obviously is going to put a stoke a lot
Speaker 1: of anger in you, knowing what they know now, what
Speaker 1: they've revealed to the general public as a consequence of
Speaker 1: litigation and Freedom of Information Act request. You got the
Speaker 1: document from inside these pharmaceutical companies who created the COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen vaccine, knowing full well, based upon their own internal studies,
Speaker 1: that it was not this wonderful, you know, silver bullet
Speaker 1: for our problems, and in fact problems still exists today
Speaker 1: with young people having serious and significant health risks or
Speaker 1: health problems, most notably women dealing with menstrual strikeles and
Speaker 1: their fertility rates dropping. It goes on, so as a
Speaker 1: recommended read for you on that one. So with that
Speaker 1: sort of background and point being made, I had a
Speaker 1: lot of people are very excited about RFK Junior, Robert F.
Speaker 1: Kennedy Kennedy Junior heading up the Department of Health and
Speaker 1: Human Services, And there are some things I don't agree
Speaker 1: with about Robert F. Kennedy Junior, but I'm looking forward
Speaker 1: to seeing what he does. I'm gonna be fascinated to
Speaker 1: see what he does or tries to do in the
Speaker 1: face of the overwhelming financeanial and lobbying pressure the pharmaceutical
Speaker 1: industry is going to bring to bear about anything he's
Speaker 1: planning on doing too. I guess in his mind correct
Speaker 1: the situation. But being the profound defender of the First
Speaker 1: Amendment that I am, as well as other things constitutional
Speaker 1: and are God given rights and freedoms, one of the
Speaker 1: things they're thinking he is going to do is attempting
Speaker 1: to ban direct to consumer drug advertising. These are the
Speaker 1: commercials that we all suffer through as we're watching television
Speaker 1: during the week, if you are so inclined to do that,
Speaker 1: and comically include things like don't take filling the blank
Speaker 1: drug if you're allergic to fill in the blank drug, Like,
Speaker 1: how in the hell would you even know that? You know,
Speaker 1: lawyers obviously got involved with that one, but whatever. But
Speaker 1: the reason we have so much demand on the pharmaceutical
Speaker 1: industry is simply because they're marketing the pharmaceuticals directly to us.
Speaker 1: Most of us, me included, aren't doctors, don't play them
Speaker 1: on TV, don't understand about drug interactions, and maybe gloss
Speaker 1: over when they start telling you about the risk of
Speaker 1: potential downsides like oh, you could die, or you know,
Speaker 1: incidents of liver cancer increase, and all those different things
Speaker 1: they tell you that are potential problems associated with it,
Speaker 1: most notably potential problems that you and I weren't told
Speaker 1: about with the emergency use authorization of the COVID vaccine,
Speaker 1: sort of bringing things full circle on my criticism on
Speaker 1: that one. But how do you feel, generally speaking about
Speaker 1: the idea of our government banning the marketing of pharmaceuticals. Now,
Speaker 1: some may argue, well, they're heavily regulated industry, check lots
Speaker 1: of rules. Of course, cost billions of dollars to bring
Speaker 1: a drug to market if it goes through the proper process,
Speaker 1: unlike the COVID nineteen vaccine, but forever up until just recently,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if there was a legal challenge
Speaker 1: to it, or if they just decided that the revenue
Speaker 1: dollars were worth it. And why did we not allow
Speaker 1: alcohol advertising on television? Typically never happened ever ever, and
Speaker 1: could have been a gentleman's agreement among the industry to
Speaker 1: keep from being regulated. I don't know. They obviously have
Speaker 1: banned cigarettes from being advertised on television billboards and things
Speaker 1: of that nature, and that's gone on for years and years.
Speaker 1: I know that that had to have been challenged by litigation.
Speaker 1: So at some point, your constitutional rights do have a limit,
Speaker 1: and the state's interests must be narrowly or the laws
Speaker 1: addressing whatever interest the state has must be as narrowly
Speaker 1: tailored as possible to achieve the compelling state interest. That's
Speaker 1: the legal standard. The interest has to be compelling, and
Speaker 1: telling people that cigarettes are going to kill you and then,
Speaker 1: knowing full well based on the nineteen sixty four Surgeon
Speaker 1: General's report and every other report that's been done on
Speaker 1: the effects of cigarettes smoking on you, they have a
Speaker 1: compelling state interest to perhaps limit your freedoms as a
Speaker 1: tobacco manufacturing company to advertise on television that I'm going
Speaker 1: to guess has been litigated. But you can't turn on
Speaker 1: the TV now anymore without seeing a tequila commercial or
Speaker 1: what have you. But can you imagine the pharmaceutical industry's
Speaker 1: reaction if they were told they weren't allowed to advertise
Speaker 1: their product now. Unlike tobacco, which has no merit other
Speaker 1: than being a nicotine delivery system that comes with all
Speaker 1: kinds of additional problems associated with it, which you can overcome,
Speaker 1: I suppose by vaping, probably carrying its own separate concerns,
Speaker 1: but at least you're not getting the burned tobacco product
Speaker 1: and the carcinogenic part of things that come in with
Speaker 1: burning cigarettes. But pharmaceuticals, by way of contrast, are there
Speaker 1: to help solve a problem. So if you've got fill
Speaker 1: in the blank medical condition, yes there are risks, and
Speaker 1: they have to point them out to you with taking
Speaker 1: the pharmaceutical, but there also could be some found benefits.
Speaker 1: So could you outrighte ban pharmaceutical direct pharmaceutical advertising to
Speaker 1: the general public when it's really unlike in so many
Speaker 1: ways cigarettes, there are benefits. They can make the argument
Speaker 1: that no people need to know about this. Physicians don't
Speaker 1: always know that this drug is on the market for
Speaker 1: this condition. A certain number of people have this condition
Speaker 1: that we found out there are research in ten years
Speaker 1: of clinical studies that this actually helps people who have
Speaker 1: this condition. And do you want to be deprived of
Speaker 1: the opportunity to hear about these new products that come
Speaker 1: out of the market. I kind of sit on the
Speaker 1: fence on this, one of my first Amendment predicates and leanings.
Speaker 1: Tend to want to defend the pharmaceutical companies as many
Speaker 1: problems as they have with them. So fuel for thought.
Speaker 1: It's just fuel for thought because you know, it's easy
Speaker 1: to say something and easy for everybody to go yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: But the broader implications, I don't know, they can be profound.
Speaker 1: Five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred eight
Speaker 1: hundred DA two three talk time FAY fifty on at

Speaker 1: Here I fifty five KRCD talk Station, Happy Monday. Of course,
Speaker 1: Christopher Smith was on earlier with the Smith Event. Always
Speaker 1: loved having that man on the program, and of course
Speaker 1: Monday Monday. You can find the podcast of those conversations
Speaker 1: at fifty five cars dot com. You can also call
Speaker 1: five one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two to three talk. I've got Evelyn
Speaker 1: on the line. Evelyn, thanks for calling this morning, and
Speaker 1: a happy Monday to you. Thanks.
Speaker 7: Brian, Well, this is a great topic about medicine being advertised.
Speaker 7: Being eighty three years old, I've seen a number of
Speaker 7: rather horrible uh situations where medicine basically armed person. And
Speaker 7: it's sometimes because doctors don't do a deep analysis of
Speaker 7: what's really wrong. And with these ads, you make your
Speaker 7: own diagnosis and suggest it to the doctor who doesn't
Speaker 7: take much time to do his own diagnosis and try it.
Speaker 7: It's it's really you know, it's borderline.
Speaker 1: Malpractice. The word you're looking for medicine. Yeah, yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: with so much research we have available to us these
Speaker 1: days on the Internet and elsewhere. There are reliable sources,
Speaker 1: and there are unreliable sources, and maybe the pharmaceutical company
Speaker 1: itself is not a reliable source. I like the idea
Speaker 1: of having the information. Now if I had a particular condition,
Speaker 1: you know, I could go out into the world and search.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't need to have a commercial in front of
Speaker 1: my face from Pfizer or anybody else telling me that
Speaker 1: this drug is available for your condition, because I'd like
Speaker 1: to think I'm going to be a little bit more
Speaker 1: proactive about my own health. If my doctor tells me
Speaker 1: or got a condition, probably is going to prescribe a
Speaker 1: pharmaceutical product. Usually that's the case, even though I've never
Speaker 1: heard or seen about it on television. Doesn't have to
Speaker 1: be there. I don't have any objection to the commercial
Speaker 1: in my face. What I have a problem with is
Speaker 1: that sort of follow up point you made. Is my
Speaker 1: doctor even familiar with it? And if the doctor's not
Speaker 1: familiar with it and it's there to treat my condition
Speaker 1: at least that's what it says it is, then is
Speaker 1: my doctor going to do be a diagnostician? That's kind
Speaker 1: of what pharmacy pharmacies are supposed to be doing. Will
Speaker 1: there be drug interactions? You know, what are the risks
Speaker 1: associated with taking everything else you are taking. Somebody's got
Speaker 1: to have a whole litany of all the pharmaceuticals you
Speaker 1: were on in order to do that kind of analysis
Speaker 1: and then move us to one step aside. I don't
Speaker 1: know how far of a deep dive the pharmaceutical companies
Speaker 1: have to go through in comparing whether or not their drug,
Speaker 1: the new one they're advertising, has an interaction with any
Speaker 1: other class of drugs out there. I think that's part
Speaker 1: of the clinical trial research. They find out people who
Speaker 1: have reactions and find out what they're on. Are they connected.
Speaker 1: I don't know all that's supposed to be done ahead
Speaker 1: of time, which allows me to go back to the
Speaker 1: fact that apparently most of that was not done in
Speaker 1: connection with the COVID nineteen vaccine, and we're all now
Speaker 1: experiencing the realities of that and finding out, yes, as
Speaker 1: we all act as one giant clinical trial with the
Speaker 1: rollout and mandate for people to take those vaccines, that
Speaker 1: oh lo and behold, a significant and sizable percentage of
Speaker 1: people do have interactions and problems. It does have negative consequences,
Speaker 1: so much so that the pharmaceutical company under normal circumstances
Speaker 1: could very well be held liable for the damage that
Speaker 1: their drugs caused, but not because of the Emergency Use authorization,
Speaker 1: you're deprived of that opportunity, So you're stuck with whatever
Speaker 1: condition you're left with from having gotten the JAB, after
Speaker 1: maybe having your employment threatened for not wanting to get
Speaker 1: the JAB. This has got a lot of years left
Speaker 1: in it, folks, in terms of a topic, in terms
Speaker 1: of the research and analysi that's going to be done
Speaker 1: reflecting back on our stupidity in reacting to the COVID pandemic,
Speaker 1: Doctor faucis now under the microscope yet again, and it
Speaker 1: will be even more so into the Trump administration. Maybe
Speaker 1: we'll get to see and have access to more of
Speaker 1: the information we were deprived of, and maybe then we'll
Speaker 1: all be able to make more informed choices down the road,
Speaker 1: and we'll be a little more jaded and cynical about
Speaker 1: what our lords and masters and elected capacities that have
Speaker 1: no medical degree are not pharmacists and are paid handsomely
Speaker 1: by the pharmaceutical companies so that the pharmaceutical companies can
Speaker 1: make billions and billions of dollars, the dangerous, crazy, circuitous
Speaker 1: world we live in. And once you throw politics and
Speaker 1: money into it, beyond just general profit margins, once you
Speaker 1: throw politics and money into it, then the lines get
Speaker 1: blurred and you start wondering whether this is truly just
Speaker 1: about bottom line or are they really trying to accomplish
Speaker 1: something along the lines of helping people and saving lives
Speaker 1: or bettering the quality of life, while yes, legitimately getting
Speaker 1: a financial reward for that, that's the point everyone is
Speaker 1: in business for. Or as I was talking about earlier,
Speaker 1: many times over the program's length, they create scenarios and
Speaker 1: then create winners and losers just by virtue of creating scenarios.
Speaker 1: Oh look, I read a little bit about ethanol going
Speaker 1: into our gas tanks for absolutely no blanking reason. And
Speaker 1: with Trump being elected him talking about trying to unring
Speaker 1: the bell of the inflation Reduction Actor, the Green New Deal.
Speaker 1: Now we've got Republicans running up saying no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no, that no, you can't take away carbon capture programs,
Speaker 1: not from my state. Our state's going to make billions
Speaker 1: of dollars by going down this road as a consequence
Speaker 1: of the IRA. See there you go, a made up thing.
Speaker 1: Exhalation needs to be captured and put in the ground.
Speaker 1: Tax credit serves the incentive to do this, or tax offsets,
Speaker 1: and then once those are in place, you can't go
Speaker 1: back to the original reality. Wait a minute, why are
Speaker 1: we doing this in the first place? What was the
Speaker 1: motivation for us to put ethanol in our gas tanks
Speaker 1: in the first place. It wasn't a benefit farmers, now,
Speaker 1: was it? Or was it a fifty five fifty five
Speaker 1: krs talk station. Tune in tomorrow for the Daniel Davis
Speaker 1: Deep Dive and the Bright Bart Inside Scoop that'll be
Speaker 1: in the eight o'clock hour. I hope Joe has more
Speaker 1: uplined up on the schedules speaking a dust tracker. Thank
Speaker 1: you Joe for the guests today, and I appreciate being
Speaker 1: back at work today. Have a wonderful day, folks, and
Speaker 1: don't go way. Comem Beck's coming right up.
