Speaker 4: in a protest over the week, and kind of laughing
Speaker 4: at the the interviews of the folks, I don't even
Speaker 4: know that they know why they're out there, and when
Speaker 4: they say why they're out there, they don't really make
Speaker 4: a whole lot of sense. Five went three seven D

Speaker 4: Monday at seven twenty, we here from the former Vice
Speaker 4: mayor of the City of Cincinnati today no different than
Speaker 4: norm Christopher Smith, and I feel absolutely horrific. I was
Speaker 4: supposed to have lunch with Christopher on Friday, and as
Speaker 4: I've said so many times before, my brain gets the
Speaker 4: shut down. When the mic turns off at nine o'clock
Speaker 4: in the morning on Friday, I don't have to fire
Speaker 4: my brain up until Sunday morning, when I wake up
Speaker 4: and start worrying about what I'm going to be talking
Speaker 4: about in the morning show. Well, my brain shut down
Speaker 4: on Friday, like it normally did. And I just pretty
Speaker 4: much slept right through my lunch with Christopher. Felt terrible. Christopher,
Speaker 4: if you're out there, brother, I told you a million
Speaker 4: times how sorry I was, and I'm saying it out
Speaker 4: loud on the radio. Boy, it's just so embarrassing. Money
Speaker 4: money with Brian James. I don't even know what we're
Speaker 4: talking about with Brian this morning eight o five. Didn't
Speaker 4: get a list of topics. Maybe Sean can call him
Speaker 4: up earlier so it can do a rundown on that.
Speaker 4: I'm sure we can do it on the fly. Not
Speaker 4: a problem with that. Brian James. Monday, Monday, all word
Speaker 4: financial and Todd Sledgeman since AFA returns. I got some
Speaker 4: stuff to talk about with him at eight forty. So

Speaker 4: every day. So sign up for your VA benefits. And
Speaker 4: uh we did the care starts now Gallas Saturday night.
Speaker 4: And props to everybody who was involved in that. What
Speaker 4: a fantastic event it was. I'm still feeling a little
Speaker 4: bit sluggish from the festivities. Didn't get home till real late.
Speaker 4: Maybe had one extra cocktail that shouldn't have firing on
Speaker 4: a couple extra a couple less cylinders. This morning, I
Speaker 4: am five three seven fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty
Speaker 4: two three talk go with pound five point fifty on
Speaker 4: eighteen and T phones. If you've got something to say,
Speaker 4: I would love to hear from you. So there's our
Speaker 4: lineup this morning. And uh, I thought there was something
Speaker 4: else I wanted to mention.
Speaker 1: Maybe it don't come to me.
Speaker 4: Anyhow, Elon must refer to them as puppet masters. Whoever
Speaker 4: is behind the anti Trum demonstrations over the weekend, handing
Speaker 4: out all these pre written materials, handing out all these
Speaker 4: pre printed the fascist Trump Ze must Go posters and placards,
Speaker 4: And I'm not quite sure what they're hoping to accomplish.
Speaker 4: And I always giving perspective that you know, it's twelve
Speaker 4: thousand or twelve hundred rallies cities across the United States
Speaker 4: and across the world and everything again, well, you know,
Speaker 4: there are a lot of useful idiots in the world,
Speaker 4: and you got social media, and you have a well
Speaker 4: organized campaign with a lot of really big moneyed interests.
Speaker 4: Speaking of oligarchs and these evil billionaires, who in the
Speaker 4: health do you think actually funded all of this. I mean,
Speaker 4: you know, say what you want about the Trump administration
Speaker 4: and Elon Munk. I'm sorry, billionaire Elon Musk. You're supposed
Speaker 4: to put that word in there before you mentioned Elon
Speaker 4: musk name, So don't forget it's always billionaire Elon Musk,
Speaker 4: like billionaire George Soros.
Speaker 1: Hmmm.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're on the other side as well. And maybe
Speaker 4: the billionaires on the right side of the political ledger
Speaker 4: should probably fund some campaigns and get people organized on
Speaker 4: social media and show up in twelve hundred cities around
Speaker 4: the United States and show that well, there are people
Speaker 4: out there that really are appreciative of the fact that
Speaker 4: Donald Trump is doing but he can, and Elon Musk
Speaker 4: is doing what he can to get rid of fraud, waste,
Speaker 4: and abuse, and I think that is at the core
Speaker 4: of these protests. The funding is drying up. You think
Speaker 4: about all the money that went through usaight and the
Speaker 4: paper trail is being established, and they are freaking out
Speaker 4: over it. They want this work to stop because what's
Speaker 4: going to happen is the American taxpayer dollars are no
Speaker 4: longer going to be going out into the world to
Speaker 4: secuitously come back to Washington, DC to fund lobbying efforts
Speaker 4: and non governmental organizations and everything else that just props
Speaker 4: up all of these left wing causes. And I think
Speaker 4: that's at the genesis of all of this. Who could
Speaker 4: be against getting people off of the Social Security ranks
Speaker 4: who are either taking money illegally or just outright dead.
Speaker 4: Why is that a bad thing? They're taking away social Security? No,
Speaker 4: they're not, No, they're not. What they're trying to do
Speaker 4: is get rid of the opportunity for people to rip
Speaker 4: you off. Why are there so many dead people with
Speaker 4: active Social Security numbers? And how could anybody actually get
Speaker 4: up off of their butt and want to run out
Speaker 4: to a rally to stop that kind of work from happening.
Speaker 4: And I love the interviews of these folks. When you
Speaker 4: see them, they just like it's like deer in the headlines.
Speaker 4: When you press them on why they're there and what
Speaker 4: exactly it is that they say they're angry about.
Speaker 1: They really they struggle to come up with something.
Speaker 4: Musk point is that the problem is the puppet masters,
Speaker 4: not the puppets, as the lotter, have no idea why
Speaker 4: they are even there exactly. Elon Musk that was proven
Speaker 4: time and time again with the interviews of these folks.
Speaker 4: He just does everything he wants. He's a convicted felon.
Speaker 4: You know, that's all I know. One proster and protesters
Speaker 4: said again, that's his videos of all these kind of
Speaker 4: people all over the place. This after being asked why
Speaker 4: he believes Trump is a fascist while holding a sign
Speaker 4: to fascist Trump Magine must go, and his response, he
Speaker 4: just does everything he wants. He's a convicted felon. You know,
Speaker 4: that's all I know. There's his explanation. You know what,
Speaker 4: I've put it out many many times. If you get
Speaker 4: the definition of fascist, it doesn't fall into the definition
Speaker 4: of fascist. They just love that word. One of the
Speaker 4: things he's trying to control the media, one protester in
Speaker 4: this video said, when asked for evidence Trump is allegedly
Speaker 4: a fascist. Quote, one of the things he's is he's
Speaker 4: trying to control the media. Well, isn't that a comical statement?
Speaker 4: After all these years of left dominated media, the mainstream media,
Speaker 4: the legacy media, covering up Biden's infirmities, lying to us,
Speaker 4: manipulating things, not reporting the truth, over and over and
Speaker 4: over again. Trump, You're angry with Trump? In response to
Speaker 4: why do you think Trump is a fascist because he's
Speaker 4: trying to control the media. That might be a bit
Speaker 4: of Sissifian challenge considering you know, he is from the
Speaker 4: conservative side of the ledger well at least somewhat. He's
Speaker 4: not a leftist. I think we can all agree on.
Speaker 4: But he may try all day long to control the media,
Speaker 4: but I suppose the media itself will have a decision
Speaker 4: in that regard, and they probably you know, we'll capitulate
Speaker 4: what protesters. They try to control their own narrative. But
Speaker 4: one of the things that Trump has done, for example,
Speaker 4: is the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico and then
Speaker 4: not allowing the Associated press to come into the White House.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, you know, the Biden administration didn't ever
Speaker 4: call on the more conservative media outlets. They were left
Speaker 4: out in the wilderness. So you know, okay, whatever, their
Speaker 4: associated press is still out there, still reporting. Maybe they
Speaker 4: don't get a chance to ask a question for a change,
Speaker 4: but after all, you know, under the Biden administration, how
Speaker 4: many media outlets out there weren't given an opportunity to
Speaker 4: ask a question. You know, elections have consequences. But Trump
Speaker 4: fascist because he renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the
Speaker 4: Gulf of America. Of America, Sean, I know that impacted
Speaker 4: your world, didn't it. Well, you struggled with that every day.
Speaker 4: You lost sleep over that, didn't you. I know you did.
Speaker 4: Should see the bags under his eyes. Ever since Trump
Speaker 4: declared it Gulf of America, Poor Sean bro one protester
Speaker 4: had been given a sign describing Trump as a fascist.
Speaker 4: They were everywhere, and also a printed one sheeter declaring
Speaker 4: we are facing fascism. The time to act is now.
Speaker 4: This is one of those you know, pre printed. We
Speaker 4: got truckloads of these, hand them out to everybody, kind
Speaker 4: of like the mainstream media when they get talking points
Speaker 4: and you hear the same words uttered over and over
Speaker 4: and over again. You flip the channels from CNN to ABC,
Speaker 4: to NBC to CBS, MSNBC, and they all sound like
Speaker 4: they're reading from the same sheet exactly. Well, here's the sheet.
Speaker 4: We're facing fascism. The time to act is now. One
Speaker 4: protester speaking with Fox from a demonstration in New York.
Speaker 4: I'm protesting how horrible things have become in our country.
Speaker 4: I mean, we've been taken over by a bunch of
Speaker 4: robber barons, who are trying to take away all of
Speaker 4: our rights, benefits and liberty.
Speaker 1: Really in what way? There?
Speaker 4: You all are, at twelve hundred different locations exercising your
Speaker 4: freedom of assembly and freedom of speech. No one came
Speaker 4: in rounded you up, no one's standing in your way.
Speaker 4: You're free to open your mouth and sound like idiot
Speaker 4: and not have a single articulable syllable as to exactly
Speaker 4: what you're angry and upset about another protester and protesting.
Speaker 4: What's happening with this blessed country, the democracy that was
Speaker 4: advanced democracy now in transition to a dictatorship, and we
Speaker 4: are almost in a fascist state right now, only because
Speaker 4: the rule of law is bending right now and it
Speaker 4: may break. Well, that sounds like something would have come
Speaker 4: out of Kamala Harris's mouth word salad full of nothing,
Speaker 4: saying nothing and actually meaning nothing.
Speaker 1: How is democracy under threat? What?
Speaker 4: What has the work of the Department of Government Efficiency
Speaker 4: done to impact your ability to go out and vote? Well,
Speaker 4: you go over to Judicial Watch and you see that
Speaker 4: the work they're doing getting rid of millions of names
Speaker 4: from voter rolls, that well, of people who are not
Speaker 4: legally eligible to vote. And I suppose the protesters may
Speaker 4: be angry about that. We can't cheat anymore. Five eighteen
Speaker 4: fifty five KCD Talk station. Feel free to give me
Speaker 4: a holler if you want love to hear from you.
Speaker 4: Maybe you got a different take on it, or maybe
Speaker 4: you can explain to me what the hell it is
Speaker 4: that they were angry about. I'm struggling on that.
Speaker 1: I'll be right back fifty five KRC five two five
Speaker 1: KRICT talks Station.
Speaker 4: Markets are reeling as a consequence of the tariffs. A
Speaker 4: lot of countries are reaching out to negotiate with Trump.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a it's going to be a tough
Speaker 4: row to ho here for a while.
Speaker 1: Let it go.
Speaker 4: Don't look at your market performance, don't pull out of
Speaker 4: the stock market. We go up, we go down. It's
Speaker 4: not as bad as other times, other crashes that we've
Speaker 4: not crashes. I don't want to say that word, but
Speaker 4: we have been through these struggles in the past, and
Speaker 4: I suspect, you know, he could pull the plug on
Speaker 4: any of these tariffs a the time he wants. But apparently,
Speaker 4: like fifty countries so far have reached out to discuss
Speaker 4: and negotiate with Donald Trump over the tariffs, which you know,
Speaker 4: I think that's what the point of the whole thing was.
Speaker 4: So we're just gonna have to go through a bumpy period.
Speaker 4: But I don't think the twelve hundred rallies that were
Speaker 4: taking place over the weekend had anything to do with
Speaker 4: the market crash the other day, because this is all
Speaker 4: planned in advance, so maybe they might want to complain
Speaker 4: about it. But how does a tumbling market help the
Speaker 4: evil oligarchs and robber barons of the world. Apparently it doesn't.
Speaker 4: And let us see here.
Speaker 1: Uh oh, it was something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I see New South Wales as banned a conversion.
Speaker 4: New South Wales conversion practices makes it a criminal offense
Speaker 4: punishably up to five years in prison for anyone who
Speaker 4: delivers or performs conversion practices that cause serious mental or
Speaker 4: physical harm. That of course, is trying to convert someone
Speaker 4: from being biologically male into female or biologically female into male.
Speaker 4: And there's you know, I thought that was kind of comical.
Speaker 4: We had there was a pool match. A pair of
Speaker 4: biologically male pool players who identifies females ended up facing
Speaker 4: off against each other in the championship match in the
Speaker 4: United Kingdom. And this is like the game of pool,
Speaker 4: as in, get a pool table and racks and balls
Speaker 4: and play a game of pool. Now, you know, initially
Speaker 4: my reaction when I saw this, I was kind of laughing,
Speaker 4: because you know this, the pool is probably one sport
Speaker 4: where I would think that women could compete on an
Speaker 4: equal playing field as men. I mean, you're good at
Speaker 4: the game and you're not. It doesn't require strength. But nonetheless,
Speaker 4: as is report of both trans players tore through their
Speaker 4: female opponents this season. Lucy Smith and Harriet Haynes, those
Speaker 4: are the two that ended up on top. Smith won
Speaker 4: eighty five of his slash her one hundred and thirteen matches,
Speaker 4: sixty two percent of the eight hundred and forty eight
Speaker 4: frames since twenty twenty one. Hayes similar winning record two
Speaker 4: hundred and forty one matches one sixty one percent of
Speaker 4: the frames before entering the tournament, beating all of the
Speaker 4: women that they competed against. So there you go, two
Speaker 4: logical men, both claiming to be women, advancing in the tournament.
Speaker 4: Now we got a transgender athlete reportedly having first place
Speaker 4: during a girl's high school track meet. Happened last Wednesday
Speaker 4: in Portland, Oregon. The boy who goes by Leah Rose
Speaker 4: previously competed under the name Zachary Fox up until a
Speaker 4: year ago. The outlet City won competing in the high
Speaker 4: jump at the Portland Interslastic League Varsity Relays, beating the
Speaker 4: second place finisher by a couple of inches, according Tothathletic
Speaker 4: dot Net. While competing against JV boys in May of
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three, Zachary Rose, before he decided he was
Speaker 4: a woman, finished eleventh out of eleven, and then once
Speaker 4: deciding he was a girl, ends up in first place.
Speaker 4: Just saying five twenty sixty five care City Talk Station,
Speaker 4: local stories coming up, lots of water into local stories.

Speaker 1: Over the local stories.
Speaker 4: Multiple emergency agencies responded to a spill of diesel fuel
Speaker 4: and used motor oil went into the Willow Creek outside
Speaker 4: of Butler County late last night. Spill happened on State
Speaker 4: Route one seventy seven, Just Path Northern Elementary School and
Speaker 4: Lock Road, Pendleton County. EMA Public Information I was a
Speaker 4: Rob Braun, said, Deputy chief on the scene, described the
Speaker 4: incident as a large spill. Information on how the spill
Speaker 4: happened on the exact scale of it not immediately available.
Speaker 4: There is a trucking company located in the sinity, but
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if there's connection though. Same portion of
Speaker 4: the road where the cruise responded already submerged underwater and
Speaker 4: closed the vehicle traffic. Licking River crested at thirty eight
Speaker 4: point five feet overnight Sunday after severe flooding, and that
Speaker 4: is going on all over the place. Kentucky's Emergency Operations
Speaker 4: Center has been alerted and a response team preparing for
Speaker 4: efforts this morning. According to Braun, local teams determined there
Speaker 4: was no action they were able to take safely overnight,
Speaker 4: so hopefully they get that under control. Go to A
Speaker 4: man rescued from the floodwaters. Happens yesterday afternoon at the
Speaker 4: former location of Coney Island, according to Cincinnati Police, who
Speaker 4: said a man somehow got into the area where Coney
Speaker 4: Island resided to pass that it's currently flooded due to
Speaker 4: Ohiohio River levels. He got roughly thirty feet into the
Speaker 4: now defunct park before he needed to be rescued. The
Speaker 4: The CPO, reporting on this thank you, Molly Shram said
Speaker 4: cruise bringing the man back to dry land on a raft.
Speaker 4: An suv could also be seen almost fully submerged in
Speaker 4: the water near Coney Island's front gates. Earlier Sunday, Fire
Speaker 4: Cruise in downtown Cincinnati had to rescue a woman who
Speaker 4: had taken shelter at a stage in Sawyer Point, similar
Speaker 4: to the Rescue your Coney Island. Cruise put a life
Speaker 4: vest on the woman and inflated a raft retriever from
Speaker 4: the stage. Flooding from the Ohio River has impacted several
Speaker 4: neighborhoods and roadways, closing many streets throughout Cincinnati and other areas.
Speaker 4: There's a full list of road closures. You can check
Speaker 4: wcpo's website for that, and I think that's still going on.
Speaker 4: Great Miami Little Miami Licking Rivers also had flooding in
Speaker 4: their respective areas. Two cities along the Licking River under
Speaker 4: mandatory evacuation owners. Some Covington residents along the Licking River
Speaker 4: also were encouraged to leave due to the high water level.
Speaker 4: So hopefully we'll get a reprieve from that with the
Speaker 4: well it not raining anymore. Three men from Kentucky arrested
Speaker 4: in charge in connection with the shooting of a man
Speaker 4: in Brown County. Corner to the Sheriff's office announcement last
Speaker 4: week WTCA, they responded to two to fifty seven Hickory

Speaker 4: In sents after being denied a free refilled a lemonade
Speaker 4: stand run by children, Florida man aggressively grabbed a female victim,
Speaker 4: adopted a fighting stands and warmed that he would beat
Speaker 4: her up, corning the police. Investigators say Stephen Cusamano, forty
Speaker 4: five years old, walking in clear out our neighborhood around
Speaker 4: seven thirty pm on Tuesday, when he observed a lemonade
Speaker 4: stand being run by several juveniles and the victim purchased
Speaker 4: one glass of lemonade and became angry when he was
Speaker 4: not allowed to refill his cup. Gusumana then allegedly grabbed
Speaker 4: the victim by the wrist aggressively while standing in a
Speaker 4: fighting stance, telling the victim he would beat her up.
Speaker 4: Kausamana left the residential area on foot, but was quickly
Speaker 4: apprehended by the police officer. During questioning, Kuzumano reportedly admitted
Speaker 4: to the entire sequence of events, but claimed to grab
Speaker 4: the victim due to her talking s word to me,
Speaker 4: she's a little girl, mister Kuzumano. Forty five. Cops described
Speaker 4: him as a transient. He was charged with fellowing me
Speaker 4: about her and hands count due to his extensive rap sheet,
Speaker 4: including multiple prior convictions for battery, as well as convictions
Speaker 4: for trespassing, narcotics possession, disorderly intoxication, assaulted the deadly weapon, theft,
Speaker 4: and disorderly conduct, locked up in lieu of five thousand
Speaker 4: dollars bond. He has pleaded not guilty. Oh yes, you
Speaker 4: are well played, Sean, well played. Let's see what Larry's
Speaker 4: God for. We're getting other stupid stories. Larry, thanks for
Speaker 4: calling this morning. Welcome to the fifty five Carcy Morning Show.
Speaker 1: Good morning.
Speaker 5: I just wanted us make a point.
Speaker 6: You know, how back in twenty twenty across all of
Speaker 6: our major networks, at the height of the pandemic, how
Speaker 6: they were running a little ticker from by state and
Speaker 6: the COVID amount of COVID deaths and things like that,
Speaker 6: really pushing the narrative and making everybody aware of it
Speaker 6: and the importance. I kind of wish they would do
Speaker 6: the same thing with the Department the Dough's Department of
Speaker 6: Government Efficiency on the and run a ticker on all
Speaker 6: these major networks at the top, on where the waste
Speaker 6: was found, what it was about, and start to hold
Speaker 6: some of these people accountable. But I think that they would.
Speaker 6: It would also start to really convince the minds of
Speaker 6: even the liberals and so on. But the brad Winstrop,
Speaker 6: if you're listening, maybe there's something you can do to
Speaker 6: push that, maybe get Congress to write something to where
Speaker 6: the start making these networks to make people more aware
Speaker 6: and take the Department of Government efficiency more serious. Well,
Speaker 6: maybe the people that don't pay attention to politics at
Speaker 6: all could start to really see that.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm kind of studies.
Speaker 6: Of boys reading trans books and it.
Speaker 4: Just goes on part of freedom, mistaque Larry, is the
Speaker 4: freedom not to speak. And we all know the networks
Speaker 4: are biased. I mean, we've all lived through that. We
Speaker 4: understand that reality. And I'm chuckling because that's one of
Speaker 4: the criticisms that one of the people that was interviewed,
Speaker 4: Why are you here protesting on Saturday? Why because Donald
Speaker 4: Trump is trying to control the media. I suppose if
Speaker 4: Donald Trump actually could control the media, you'd get reporting
Speaker 4: along netline on a regular basis. Sadly you don't. But
Speaker 4: Doose does report and has posted online through its sight
Speaker 4: all the work that they are doing. So if you want,
Speaker 4: you can go look at it yourself, but don't expect
Speaker 4: the likes of MSNBC or CNN, CBS, NBC, you know,
Speaker 4: the entire lineup and litany of letters to actually do
Speaker 4: this and bring this to more people's attention. This is
Speaker 4: why it's so funny. When people are interviewed as to
Speaker 4: why they think Trump is a fascist and why they
Speaker 4: show up at a rally anti Trump rally, anti Doese rally,
Speaker 4: they all get the deer in the headlights look and
Speaker 4: come up with words salid answers. It don't make any
Speaker 4: damn sense. They paid a little bit closer attention, and
Speaker 4: they got better educated on the topic. They probably like, no,
Speaker 4: that's a good thing. No, they're not killing SOCIS security
Speaker 4: or Medicaid. They're actually taking steps and efforts that might
Speaker 4: make it last a little bit longer than it's scheduled
Speaker 4: to last under the current situation. And it's not gonna
Speaker 4: last very long. This has been widely reported now for decades.
Speaker 4: They keep doing a TikTok TikTok countdown. This is when
Speaker 4: it's all going to hit the fan, and we're getting
Speaker 4: closer and closer.
Speaker 1: To that day.
Speaker 4: Six five cares of the dog's as. Meanwhile, both parties, Republicans,
Speaker 4: Democrats and anybody in there who can call themselves an
Speaker 4: independent do literally nothing. Talk station Happy Monday, try to
Speaker 4: make it so anyway. I'm not happy right now, Thank you, Eric.
Speaker 8: Eric just sent me the link to US Debt clock
Speaker 8: dot org, and the numbers fly at you so fast,
Speaker 8: and you look at the debt we're racking up and
Speaker 8: just goes up tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of
Speaker 8: dollars almost instantaneously. There is, though a doge clock, which
Speaker 8: and I don't know where this data comes from. I'm
Speaker 8: just trusted for what it says. So far, two hundred
Speaker 8: and eighty nine billion dollars Dose has found and saved
Speaker 8: savings per taxpayer two thousand, five hundred and seventy seven. However,
Speaker 8: given the US national debt debt per citizen one hundred
Speaker 8: and seven thousand dollars, debt per taxpayer three hundred and
Speaker 8: twenty three thousand dollars, that's heartbreaking.
Speaker 4: Let's see here. Uh bump bump, bumpom. Drug detection dog
Speaker 4: alerted to the odor of narcotics emitting from the buttocks
Speaker 4: of a Texas man trying to cross back into the
Speaker 4: United States from Mexico last Monday. Best goator, say George Vargas,
Speaker 4: twenty six year old questioned by border patrol agents after
Speaker 4: passing into the United States via pedestrian lane and an
Speaker 4: El Paso port of entry. He claimed to be returning
Speaker 4: to his from his grandmother's house in Mexico and was
Speaker 4: on his way to work, and agents discovered that Vargas
Speaker 4: had two hours earlier entered the US through a different
Speaker 4: l Passo port of entry. He was subjected to his
Speaker 4: secondary screening, which included a pat down for weapons. Vargas
Speaker 4: was clenching his thighs that's in the report during an
Speaker 4: inclusive frisk, according to the criminal complaint. At that point,
Speaker 4: a concealed human narcotics detector dog was called in for
Speaker 4: a sniff. The animal reportedly alerted to the trained odor
Speaker 4: of narcot emanating from Vargas's buttocks through his pants. After
Speaker 4: Vargas was instructed to sit down, agents noticed a bulge
Speaker 4: protruding from his buttocks through his pants. Subsequently, they removed
Speaker 4: two black taped bundles from between his buttocks. The packages
Speaker 4: contained a total of five point twenty five ounces of
Speaker 4: meth amphetamine bum being read as rights, Vargus reportedly agreed
Speaker 4: to speak with agents. He claimed to have been threatened
Speaker 4: and said he was going to be paid with two
Speaker 4: ounces of meth when when the remaining three ounces would
Speaker 4: be picked up by an unknown individual. Vargas told the
Speaker 4: agents he needed the money. Charged with drug smuggling, facing
Speaker 4: more than tenures in prisons, convicted of the fellow account
Speaker 4: now walked up in the county jail schedule for US
Speaker 4: district or detentioneering. He does have Spanish word for straight
Speaker 4: check five fifty five at the five KC Talk station. Uh,
Speaker 4: feel free to call. I got plenty to talk about
Speaker 4: coming up next hour. Love to hear from you though,
Speaker 4: and we got Scott Wharton from the Inquire taking her
Speaker 4: for Sharon Koleich will join the program at seven oh five.
Speaker 4: Christopher Smith minu at seven twenty for the Smith event
Speaker 4: Monday Monday, Brian James at eight oh five, and then
Speaker 4: Todd Sledge and the Since Anniva has got some things
Speaker 4: to talk about to my veteran friends, he'll be out
Speaker 4: at eight forty. I'll be right back after the news
Speaker 4: lay six oh five if the five cars Talk station.
Speaker 1: Bon Thomas right here. Wish and embody and a happy Monday.
Speaker 4: Trying to make it happy anyway, unless you're paying attention
Speaker 4: to the markets which are while futures are done pretty
Speaker 4: uh significantly after they'll wipeout from last week. As a
Speaker 4: consequence of the tariff's going into effects. Say what you
Speaker 4: want about the tariffs. I mean, this actually comes as
Speaker 4: no surprise to me. The globe has to react and
Speaker 4: markets are going to react, and we'll find out what's
Speaker 4: going to happen. I got a lot of countries lining
Speaker 4: up to contact the administration to talk about negotiating the tariffs,
Speaker 4: and fifty countries. Actually, it's widely reported. I've already done that.
Speaker 4: So insofar as what's coming up in the Morning Show,
Speaker 4: before we get into more details on that, fans forward
Speaker 4: one hour Scott Wharton from the Cincinnia Enquirer. He's taken
Speaker 4: over for Sharon Coolidge, so he'll be doing all the
Speaker 4: reporting for CINCINNY City Council and the mayor and of
Speaker 4: course the mayoral race and the county commissioners as well.
Speaker 4: So we'll get forward to hearing from Scott in an hour.
Speaker 4: Christopher Smith Aman every Monday at seven twenty, former Vice
Speaker 4: mayor of the City of Cincinnati, are offering what we
Speaker 4: call the Smither Vent. Don't know what he's going to
Speaker 4: be talking about, but you know he's a financial planner,
Speaker 4: so he may have something to say about the tariffs
Speaker 4: and the impact there. I think best advice, which we'll
Speaker 4: get from Money Monday's Brian James at eighth five, don't
Speaker 4: look at your portfolio. If you've got a four oh
Speaker 4: one K planet, maybe best to just not take a
Speaker 4: look at that. Let things settle down, because when the
Speaker 4: markets go down, history has demonstrated they do go back up.
Speaker 4: But I'm sure he'll offer advice about that. He often
Speaker 4: refers to himself as more of a counselor in managing
Speaker 4: people's emotions as opposed to picking and choosing which stocks
Speaker 4: to invest in. Since Ava todd Sledge returns of the
Speaker 4: Morning Show at eight forty, we got some topics to
Speaker 4: talk about about what's going on at the VA. Supporting
Speaker 4: my veteran friends, feel free to call Joe Strecker's out.
Speaker 4: Sean McMahon's in always appreciate when Shawn covers for Joe
Speaker 4: five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight
Speaker 4: hundred and eighty two to three top pound five fifty
Speaker 4: on at and T phones speaking a cory of Homan
Speaker 4: running from Mayor. He's got an event tomorrow night five pm.
Speaker 4: Price still chill. You can help him out. You can
Speaker 4: get a chance to listen to. Congressman David Taylor joined
Speaker 4: the Morning show last week and podcast at fifty five
Speaker 4: KRC dot com. He's the man who was elected to
Speaker 4: take over for brad winstrip vek Rama Swami. He was
Speaker 4: on the program last week as well. He is an
Speaker 4: enthusiastic guy. I really do support him, and he has
Speaker 4: lined up I think literally every endorsement. I think probably
Speaker 4: trying to put the point a primary to rest, like geez,
Speaker 4: you can't get anybody to endorse you. Vivek's got pretty
Speaker 4: much all of them. And another opportunity. The opportunity remains.
Speaker 4: I believe it's still until tomorrow for the Bourbon raffle.
Speaker 4: The cure starts now. Fantastic event. Thanks everybody was able
Speaker 4: to make that on Saturday night. Awesome time and giving
Speaker 4: me hope that we will come up with a cure
Speaker 4: for cancer. And that's all what that is about. So
Speaker 4: maybe win some bourbon and point being you'll cure cancer.
Speaker 4: And thanks to all my listeners who bought tickets when
Speaker 4: we did the interview with Keith Keith desertch last week.
Speaker 4: One thousand dollars worth of tickets sold in a very
Speaker 4: short period of time. So back over to the Wall
Speaker 4: Street Journal and the Dow Futures DAL currently down three
Speaker 4: point twenty five s and P down three point three eight,
Speaker 4: NASDAK down three point six nine, so another down day
Speaker 4: on trading, calling it turmoil. The global market snowballed in
Speaker 4: one of the worst routes in recent memories after Trump
Speaker 4: said he would stay the course with the with the
Speaker 4: tariffs yesterday, Trump Quota is saying, what's going to happen
Speaker 4: to the markets?
Speaker 1: I can't tell you.
Speaker 4: I don't want anything to go down, but sometimes you
Speaker 4: have to take medicine to fix something. So stock features
Speaker 4: down this morning. Contracts tied to major UX induses down
Speaker 4: more than three percent. Pullback, they say, suggested broad s
Speaker 4: and P five hundred index at risk of following the
Speaker 4: tech heavy NASDAK composite into bear market, which is defined
Speaker 4: as following a twenty percent plus decline. They have something
Speaker 4: called the Wall Street Fear Gauge, apparently jump to levels
Speaker 4: that roll, sort of reminiscent of COVID nineteen and the
Speaker 4: drop in markets back then, although the drop hasn't been
Speaker 4: as large as the COVID nineteen drop over in Asia,
Speaker 4: also of course, relying on trade, their stocks plunged. Hong
Speaker 4: Kong's main equity benchmark drop thirteen percent, described as the
Speaker 4: worst day since the Asian financial crisis, Shanghai, Taipei, Tokyo,
Speaker 4: Those in the CEES fell between seven and ten percent.
Speaker 4: Over to Europe, these stocks Europe six hundred drop five percent.
Speaker 4: Bitcoin and oil prices fell sharply. Well, maybe there's a
Speaker 4: glimmer of hope and oil prices dropping because we have
Speaker 4: experience of dropping gasoline prices. So if global oil surprise
Speaker 4: drop because they expect some sort of recession, I suppose
Speaker 4: not as much oil being consumed, perhaps we might get
Speaker 4: some break at the pump. I'm just looking for a
Speaker 4: glimmer of hope.
Speaker 1: And all this.
Speaker 4: Treasury's rallied apparently pushing down yields. Investors bet the Federal
Speaker 4: Reserve will need to slash interest rates. Futures prices, how likewise,
Speaker 4: showed traders now seeing more than a fifty percent likelihood
Speaker 4: of the equivalent of a five or more quarter point
Speaker 4: rate cuts this year.
Speaker 1: That would be nice.
Speaker 4: Sadly, though, US stocks lost six point six trillion dollars
Speaker 4: in value in the last two days of last week
Speaker 4: after the announcement of the tariffs, So you got to
Speaker 4: take the good with the bad. I suppose you know
Speaker 4: I'd said out loud a multitude of times, no.
Speaker 1: Big fan of tariffs.
Speaker 4: And you know the only reason I took a step
Speaker 4: back from being against the idea because I know, you
Speaker 4: knew this was going to happen. It's going to have
Speaker 4: an inflationary effect and all that. But how is it
Speaker 4: that we've gone on all this time when all these
Speaker 4: other countries were tariffing us? And that was kind of
Speaker 4: the eye opening revelation to have this discussion when you
Speaker 4: see the charts and the tariffs that Donald Trump placed
Speaker 4: on these other countries are tariffs on them right now,
Speaker 4: or at least the ones that kick in Wednesday. The
Speaker 4: rest of them aren't as bad as the ones that
Speaker 4: currently exist and have existed now for a while on
Speaker 4: US imports into their countries. I mean, if you're looking
Speaker 4: for fairness in this, that doesn't seem quite fair, does it.
Speaker 4: I mean, they're depriving their citizens of the opportunity to
Speaker 4: purchase US goods at a reasonable price. Some countries had
Speaker 4: like ninety five percent tariffs on US goods coming in.
Speaker 4: What makes that right?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Anyway, According to White House advisors speaking yesterday, more than,
Speaker 4: as I mentioned before, fifty countries already got in touch
Speaker 4: with the Trump administration to start talking about negotiating these tariffs.
Speaker 4: Kevin Hasset, who's the head of the White House National
Speaker 4: Economic Council, talking with ABC yesterday, said there are more
Speaker 4: than fifty countries reaching out and trying to negotiate this
Speaker 4: new status with the president. They're doing that because they
Speaker 4: understand that they bear a lot of the tariff. Hassi
Speaker 4: didn't say which countries have started talks with the administration.
Speaker 4: Trump wrote on truth social media a couple of days
Speaker 4: ago that Vietnam's top leaders said that the country is
Speaker 4: going to reduce its tariffs on the United States to zero. Well,
Speaker 4: you'll call that one to win. So we got last
Speaker 4: week announcing ten percent tariffs on all trading partners, as
Speaker 4: well as higher level on about sixty nations, and those
Speaker 4: are the ones that really have some outrageous tariffs on
Speaker 4: US goods. The balance of these tariffs the higher ones
Speaker 4: kicking in on the ninth so Wednesday. Exempt from the
Speaker 4: latest tariffs Canada and Mexico because Trump had already slapped
Speaker 4: the twenty five percent tariff on them because he wanted
Speaker 4: the trafficking, infentinal and illegal immigration to stop. Looking for
Speaker 4: greater support and trying to apply pressure on Mexico and
Speaker 4: Canada for that. You know, certainly those could disappear, Prime
Speaker 4: Minister or Thai Prime Minister Shinwarta so that Thailand is
Speaker 4: also willing to enter into talks to the United States
Speaker 4: on tariff, saying Thailand is signaling it's according to him,
Speaker 4: Thailand has signaling that's readiness to discuss with the United
Speaker 4: States government at the first opportunity to adjust the trade
Speaker 4: balance to be fair to both parties. Little signal of
Speaker 4: optimism on that one. UK Prime Minister Keres Starmer told
Speaker 4: reporters last week his country would respond in a cool
Speaker 4: and calm manner, pointing out the United States only placed
Speaker 4: a ten percent levy, put in the United Kingdom, in
Speaker 4: his words, in a better position than a lot of
Speaker 4: other countries from what was announced. Well fair enough. Taiwan's
Speaker 4: president on Sunday offered zero tariffs. How about that, pledging
Speaker 4: to remove trade barriers rather than imposing reciprocal measures and
Speaker 4: saying Taiwan, these companies will raise their US investments if
Speaker 4: I recall correctly, Taiwan had like a sixty five percent
Speaker 4: tariff on US uh Further, in that Sunday interview with Hassid,
Speaker 4: he said, the US economic data has showed that we
Speaker 4: just had one of the strongest jobs reports we've seen
Speaker 4: in a long time. It was like the addition of
Speaker 4: two hundred and fifty five thousand jobs, And he suggested,
Speaker 4: and you have to wait and find out that tariffs
Speaker 4: could be leading to more American job because if there
Speaker 4: is more investment in the United States and the build
Speaker 4: more factories here, of course that's going to lead to
Speaker 4: more jobs. But see, this isn't going to be instantaneous.
Speaker 4: And I think that's the frustrating thing that we all
Speaker 4: feel out here. We see our stocks job we see
Speaker 4: our four to one k shrink, and we think the
Speaker 4: world's going to come to an end. But if this
Speaker 4: does result in some additional investing in the United States,
Speaker 4: then it'd be good for all of us over the
Speaker 4: long haul. That just does not happen in a moment's time.
Speaker 4: It's not like flipping a light switch. They said. The
Speaker 4: jobs did it was about fifty percent better than the
Speaker 4: markets expected. In the second one in a row, Hassett said,
Speaker 4: we've created like ten thousand auto jobs when trust just
Speaker 4: since Trump took office, more automobiles being manufactured in this country.
Speaker 4: And I thought it was rather interesting. I think it
Speaker 4: was Jaguar and land Rover. They said they're going to
Speaker 4: stop exports into the United States for a period of time,
Speaker 4: and I don't know how this ultimately helps them. Reported
Speaker 4: over the weekend, as we work to address the new
Speaker 4: trading terms with our business partners, we're talking taking some
Speaker 4: short term actions, including a shipment pause in April, as
Speaker 4: we develop our mid to longer term plans again. Manufacturer
Speaker 4: of Jaguar and land Rower, the United States is the
Speaker 4: second biggest importer of British made cars after the EU.
Speaker 4: Jaguar land Rover, one of Britain's biggest products by volume,
Speaker 4: set in its statement that the US was an important
Speaker 4: market for its luxury band because it sells four hundred
Speaker 4: thousand range Rovers and other models annually and exports the
Speaker 4: United States account for almost a quarter of their sales.
Speaker 4: So I don't understand the connection you pause exports to
Speaker 4: your second biggest consumer of your automobiles. Oh well, someone
Speaker 4: can we can explain that to me? Feel free? Five, one, three, seven, four, nine,
Speaker 4: fifty five hundred eight at eight two to three talk.
Speaker 4: Maybe they'll pause them because they'll come to the negotiating
Speaker 4: table and negotiate in eradication of the tariffs, and we'll
Speaker 4: all be better off for it, which I think is
Speaker 4: the point of the exercise.
Speaker 1: Twenty two fifty five krc DE Talk Station.
Speaker 4: BOYA marshall Over town hallowed interesting off ed responding to
Speaker 4: this insanity over the weekend with the twelve thousand cities
Speaker 4: and people in all the world screaming their head off
Speaker 4: over to evil Trump and Musk, the Right say is
Speaker 4: apparently cord to their handy website, Trump Musk and they're
Speaker 4: billionaire cronies orchestrating and all out assault on our government
Speaker 4: and our economy and our basic rights. Website goes on
Speaker 4: to say President Trump, Elon Musk and others want to
Speaker 4: strip Americas for parts, shuttering social Security offices, firing essential workers,
Speaker 4: eliminating consumer protections, gotting medicaid, all to bankroll their billionaire
Speaker 4: tax scam. They're handing over our tax dollars, our public services,
Speaker 4: and our democracy to the ultra rich. Their words at
Speaker 4: the website, not mine. You're right that's brilliant. Let's look
Speaker 4: at two of the programs that these leftists claim are
Speaker 4: being decimated by Trump and Doge Socials Security and Medicaid.
Speaker 4: How many times have we heard Democrats talk about how
Speaker 4: Republicans want to take away Social Security benefits from older Americans?
Speaker 4: So there was such a tired trobe that stories of
Speaker 4: evil Republicans wanted to swipe Grandma's Social Security tracks seem
Speaker 4: to be like as much of a staple of campaign
Speaker 4: season as robo calls, campaign radio commercials and vote for
Speaker 4: me signs. Go back to twenty twelve presidential campaign, Democrats
Speaker 4: even depicted then Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan pushing
Speaker 4: an old woman in a wheelchair of a clique of
Speaker 4: a cliff, and you had Democrats that are crying Elon
Speaker 4: Musk and his Doge team front covering massive fraud in
Speaker 4: the Social Security system, which is seeing billions of dollars
Speaker 4: scam from the system by millions of foreigners ineligible for
Speaker 4: benefits yet taking them. They exposed massive theft of socials
Speaker 4: security numbers as well as foreign citizens being assigned to
Speaker 4: Social Security numbers who then I legally vote in American elections.
Speaker 4: There's a short interview Fox News Steve Doocey of a
Speaker 4: DOGE volunteer guy named Antonio Grassius. He calls it a
Speaker 4: much watch by every sane American video. Grassia's very wealthy
Speaker 4: businessman who's a founder and CEO of a company called
Speaker 4: Valor Equity Partners, which has apparently sixteen billion dollars in
Speaker 4: assets under management. He points out mister Garcia's, like all
Speaker 4: DOGE teams, starting with Elon Musk himself, had too much
Speaker 4: to lose and nothing to gain personally by agreeing to
Speaker 4: audit the federal government in Trump's effort to restore it
Speaker 4: to sound footing and continuing financial viability, Unlike the arguments,
Speaker 4: they want to crash it anyway. During this this this
Speaker 4: this Doocey segment, Grassi has seen given a presentation on
Speaker 4: STAVE showing a graph that in twenty twenty four a
Speaker 4: loan two point one million illegal aliens receive Social Security numbers,
Speaker 4: as opposed to the twenty twenty one figure of only
Speaker 4: two hundred and seventy thousand, which is twound seventy thousand
Speaker 4: too many. Total number of people came to the United
Speaker 4: States illegally, but possessed Social Security numbers now exceeds five million.
Speaker 4: He explains, data obtained through an automatic system. He also
Speaker 4: discloses that a Socias Security employee sent himself via email
Speaker 4: over four hundred thousand SOSIAS security numbers and that's being investigated.
Speaker 4: He called it clearly nefarious. Also pointed out illegals. We're
Speaker 4: tapping into virtually all the federal benefit programs. One point
Speaker 4: three million of these illegal aliens with socia's security numbers
Speaker 4: are now on Medicaid.
Speaker 1: He says.
Speaker 4: Thousands of these people, as Dose discovered, are also on
Speaker 4: the voter rolls. In many are in fact voting not legal.
Speaker 4: Key to these discoveries is that Trump signed an executive
Speaker 4: order allowing DOSE to employ technology enabling these different government
Speaker 4: computer systems to actually talk to each other, and they
Speaker 4: couldn't do that before. Gracius estimates that DOGE has already
Speaker 4: save the government north of ten billion dollars from its
Speaker 4: discoveries at socis Security alone. Who's trying to kill Social
Speaker 4: Security and who's trying to save it? That's the people
Speaker 4: over the weekend. This is going to extend the life
Speaker 4: of the program. Grosse's is playing the findings to his team,
Speaker 4: refuting arguments that these illegal aliens are paying into the
Speaker 4: system through taxes and noting that many are on unemployment,
Speaker 4: many are criminals in summer, even in the on the
Speaker 4: US terror watch list. And yet you think over the
Speaker 4: weekend that Trump was undermining social security, that did the
Speaker 4: Elon mussel, and I wanted to destroy it. All of
Speaker 4: these efforts are to better this system, stop the fraud.
Speaker 4: You wouldn't know it talking to the protests over the
Speaker 4: protesters over the weekend, and most of whom had no
Speaker 4: idea why they were there. The concept of useful idiot
Speaker 4: on full display.
Speaker 1: New Hampshire.
Speaker 4: Gary's online get your call right after the break, Gary,
Speaker 4: I hope you don't mind.
Speaker 1: I got to take a quick break though.
Speaker 4: In highly seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred
Speaker 4: and eighty two three talk at pound five fifty if
Speaker 4: you have an AT and T phone. Love to hear
Speaker 4: from you, and welcome back to the Morning Show New Hampshire. Gary,
Speaker 4: Good hear from me this morning.
Speaker 5: Hey brother, I forget what it's like to live in Cincinnati.
Speaker 5: Sometimes you're going to have a high of sixty six
Speaker 5: right now. I'm looking out my window. It's snowing, cats.
Speaker 1: And dog snowing. Oh what?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, all of.
Speaker 4: Our rivers are bursting at the scenes. People are flooded
Speaker 4: at neighborhoods are soaked, and that actually probably makes some
Speaker 4: people at least feel a little bit better about the
Speaker 4: current weather conditions here in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: At least it's not snowing. Right, that's there.
Speaker 5: You go, well, give it a minute.
Speaker 1: It's night, but it's a valid point. We got a
Speaker 1: freeze morning tonight.
Speaker 5: That's right. Hey, I was I watch I listened to
Speaker 5: a couple of people on X and one of the
Speaker 5: stave Harris Junior and on there. Excuse me, I don't
Speaker 5: have a cough, but he he was talking about there's
Speaker 5: a professor who's a black professor h from Columbia University
Speaker 5: who's been picked up for having African slaves in her
Speaker 5: house that she was keeping illegally ago.
Speaker 4: That article came out and I'd say, several weeks ago
Speaker 4: I read about that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well this one is she just been convicted, so
Speaker 5: really yeah, And so this one was another one was
Speaker 5: that protesters. If you look, I watched the protests this weekend,
Speaker 5: so sometimes you know, I flipped it on what's going on.
Speaker 5: And he's also claiming that that the NGOs were paid
Speaker 5: not to have black protesters show up at the T dealerships,
Speaker 5: which I thought was interesting because now that I look back,
Speaker 5: I didn't see any black protesters, even though Washington, DC
Speaker 5: is made up of at least fifty percent black, And
Speaker 5: I was like, wow, that's interesting.
Speaker 4: You know why, Well, I mean, isn't the idea to
Speaker 4: make your numbers look substantial?
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't they want black protesters?
Speaker 5: From what I understand, the George Soros NGOs were told
Speaker 5: specifically not to have black protesters. Don't know, other than racism,
Speaker 5: I don't know why, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 4: It does sound incredibly racist. Blacks need not apply. I mean,
Speaker 4: that's horrifically racist.
Speaker 5: I think if we look at the Democratic Party, nothing's changed.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, you can make that argument, I suppose, but
Speaker 4: that's that's just bizarre.
Speaker 1: I guess I would.
Speaker 4: I'll assume for the sake of this discussion that that
Speaker 4: actually is a recommendation for the non government organizations. I
Speaker 4: guess I'm just puzzling over why. I mean, if the
Speaker 4: idea is to get a bunch of people out there
Speaker 4: and make their numbers look like they actually represent a
Speaker 4: sizeable amount of the American population, which I still say
Speaker 4: they're not. Then you would want every living human being
Speaker 4: that could make it to the protest to show up black, Asian, white,
Speaker 4: doesn't matter. That's crazy anyway, But I appreciate the call
Speaker 4: gear I always do six point thirty five. If you
Speaker 4: five kar City Talk Station, maybe you have an answer
Speaker 4: to that question. Five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty
Speaker 4: five eighty two to three talk won't get rid of
Speaker 4: the stench of politics, but it will or Jerry Neddler apparently,
Speaker 4: although it might work on Jerry Needdler. I have an
Speaker 4: interesting article about Jerry Nadler is the Capital's worst smelling man.
Speaker 4: I kid you not. That's the headline from the Washington
Speaker 4: Free Beacon. How embarrassing is that?
Speaker 1: Anyway? Odoric at six forty.
Speaker 4: Here fifty five ker City Talk Station, it's times like this,
Speaker 4: and I wish they'd call it us to the direction
Speaker 4: of the conversation because you may not like where I'm
Speaker 4: gonna go. Since I mentioned Jerry Nadler and connects with
Speaker 4: the other exit ad, I just couldn't believe what I
Speaker 4: was reading yesterday. I was preparing for the show and
Speaker 4: I'm checking out the Washington Free Beacons website where it
Speaker 4: is there it is the headline. Members of Congress agree
Speaker 4: Jerry Nadler is the Capital's worst smelling man, and at
Speaker 4: some level I kind of feel sorry for the guy,
Speaker 4: but maybe not. They say, long time you are. Congressman
Speaker 4: Jerry Neddler has become famous as the champion of progressive
Speaker 4: policies in the House of Representatives, but among his colleagues
Speaker 4: in the chamber also earned what they describe as the
Speaker 4: dubious distinction of being its smelliest member. Anthony di Esposito,
Speaker 4: former GP Congressman from Long Island, who was just recently
Speaker 4: named Inspector General of the Apartment of Labor, had this say,
Speaker 4: and I will quote him. He Jerry Nadlers the kind
Speaker 4: of guy who when he makes his way onto the floor,
Speaker 4: he barrels through everyone, and sometimes he doesn't really need
Speaker 4: to barrow through because his stench kind of clears the way,
Speaker 4: and it equates to his personality, which is nasty and
Speaker 4: most people want to keep away from close quote. Half
Speaker 4: a dozen of Natler's current and former colleagues, apparently from
Speaker 4: both sides of the aisle, were well. They again Freebeacon
Speaker 4: reportedly more savage behind the scenes. One House Democrats said
Speaker 4: he wasn't just rancid, but also frequently out of it.
Speaker 1: Quote. Members of Congress don't want to sit next.
Speaker 4: To him because of it, the Democrats said, speaking with
Speaker 4: the Washington Free Dition. And I guess on a condition
Speaker 4: of anonymity, Yeah, he smells. I don't know what he does.
Speaker 4: Maybe he doesn't take a bath. I don't know what
Speaker 4: it is. Close quote also said this. They removed him
Speaker 4: from his chairmanship because it did distrust his ability to
Speaker 4: handle the job. He's constantly falling asleep on the floor
Speaker 4: and constantly falling asleep everywhere. Seventy seven year old Nadler owls.
Speaker 4: That is the top Democrats on the Judiciary Committee back
Speaker 4: in December because of concerns that he was no longer.
Speaker 1: Up to the job.
Speaker 4: Sort of very Joe Biden esque. Twenty nineteen, the House
Speaker 4: Speaker Nancy Pelosi's sidelinemen during President Donald Trump's first impeachment
Speaker 4: hearing over similar cognitive concerns. Videos and Nadler falling asleep
Speaker 4: during hearings have become commonplace online, many members speculating that
Speaker 4: the congressman's odor emanated from an underlying health issue, which
Speaker 4: they say of dog Nadler for his entire career. They
Speaker 4: say in twenty nineteen, he nearly collaps during a Manhattan
Speaker 4: press conference, had to be rushed to the hospital, underwent
Speaker 4: gastric bypass surgery in two thousand and two to remedy
Speaker 4: his morbid obesity, and he was at one point so
Speaker 4: enormous he could not ride a subway. That account on
Speaker 4: his own website. Another New York congress member said, he reeks,
Speaker 4: it's not just like a guy didn't take a shower.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's surgery or a colosity bag.
Speaker 1: But it's bad, he said.
Speaker 4: When former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was sworn in, he
Speaker 4: had a bipartisan briefing with the Congressional Budget Office, and
Speaker 4: I sat in the Capitol Visitor Center or theater rather
Speaker 4: and Nadler sat in front of me.
Speaker 1: I had to get up and move. Its overpowering.
Speaker 4: Fox News Greg Gottphild talking with McCarthy during an appearance
Speaker 4: on Godfield back in twenty twenty two, he asked this question, Congressman,
Speaker 4: I don't know how to ask you this in a
Speaker 4: respectable manner, but do off smelling people offend you. McCarthy's response,
Speaker 4: are we talking about Jerry Nadler?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 4: Again, you know that's some of I guess feel sorry
Speaker 4: for the guy, but wow, I just can't imagine how
Speaker 4: I would feel as someone wrote that article about me.
Speaker 4: You think you take steps to maybe remedy the problem.
Speaker 4: But showering up that's one thing. That his cognitive decline
Speaker 4: that's another. And I find it really comical and interesting
Speaker 4: that all of these left wing media outlets, with all
Speaker 4: the new books that are coming out about Biden's cognitive
Speaker 4: decline that they're now also piling on. We were lied to.
Speaker 4: We were lied to. You were the ones perpetuating the lie.
Speaker 1: You saw it.
Speaker 4: We out here in the world saw his cognitive decline.
Speaker 4: We watched it in unfold in front of our very eyes,
Speaker 4: probably in many cases based upon the actual video that
Speaker 4: you mainstream media showed us, allowing us to easily draw
Speaker 4: our conclusions that the guy just isn't one hundred percent
Speaker 4: there anymore, maybe not even fifty percent there, and as
Speaker 4: we ultimately find out, maybe not.
Speaker 1: Twenty percent there.
Speaker 4: And we were made fun of for calling that into
Speaker 4: question over and over and over again, and now they're
Speaker 4: all admitting it. Fool me once, fool me twice, six.
Speaker 1: Fifty two fifty five three r C talk station.
Speaker 4: Five one two three to pound five fifty on AT
Speaker 4: and T phones.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be most puzzled this morning of
Speaker 4: those protests over the weekend, you know, the the the
Speaker 4: the AstroTurf as many are calling of them. I think
Speaker 4: Elon must refer to them as useful idiots, which is
Speaker 4: one way of putting it. When you hear and you
Speaker 4: hear the interviews of those folks, they just have no
Speaker 4: idea why they are there. They scream catchphrases and yet
Speaker 4: can't articulate a syllable as to what they're screaming about.
Speaker 4: I just and it doesn't take much effort or energy
Speaker 4: at all when you look at what Elon Musk and
Speaker 4: the folks that doge are doing to realize that, no,
Speaker 4: they're not dismantling Social Security or Medicaid, which is part
Speaker 4: of the thing that was repeated over and over and
Speaker 4: over again the issue talking sheets to have people say
Speaker 4: exactly that, repeatingly parroting something that doesn't make a witsworth
Speaker 4: of sense, and it's so troubling to me that many
Speaker 4: people can be duped, if they are even being duped.
Speaker 4: And I think more of this really boils down to
Speaker 4: it's you know, they're talking about oligarchs and robber barons,
Speaker 4: you knowing, oh my god, you know, evil billionaire Elon Musk.
Speaker 4: This is about the efforts that the Trump administration and
Speaker 4: others like the European Union for example, taking a more
Speaker 4: populous move thinking about protecting their own country's interests, re
Speaker 4: establishing border control, obviously going away from globalism, from this
Speaker 4: new world order or sort of one appearance of what
Speaker 4: they want. They the evil veys out in the world,
Speaker 4: the manipulators and puppet masters of all these useful idiots
Speaker 4: out in the world. They don't want borders. They want
Speaker 4: control over everything, one uniform, size fits all. And we
Speaker 4: know how poorly that works out here in the United
Speaker 4: States when they try to throw one size fits all
Speaker 4: rules at us from Washington, d C. And it ultimately
Speaker 4: harms us locally on some level. But I think that's
Speaker 4: the fear, and that's why they're out in the streets,
Speaker 4: and that's why all these money, the interests are out
Speaker 4: there funding these protesters, like oh, my god, somebody's caught on.
Speaker 4: Conservative parties are making inroads into our leftist agenda. People
Speaker 4: are electing conservative people, people with an interest in their
Speaker 4: own turf, in their own countries. People interested in lowering
Speaker 4: taxes and giving us a little bit more freedom of movement.
Speaker 4: People getting away from this whole cult of climate. And
Speaker 4: as I said many times over the years, you know
Speaker 4: that right there has set everybody up for this globalism,
Speaker 4: that climate change argument. It used to be global warming,
Speaker 4: and then whoops, that didn't happen. Sea levels whoops, haven't risen.
Speaker 4: Al Gore was way wrong. We'd all be underwater now
Speaker 4: if his predictions back in the day had come true.
Speaker 4: It just didn't happen. And we've spent trillions of dollars
Speaker 4: globally throwing all of our energy in our efforts at
Speaker 4: this non existent problem, drying up our reliable energy supplies,
Speaker 4: which of course is designed. I have concluded, and I
Speaker 4: have no I'm not wavering at all on this. It's
Speaker 4: to reduce consumption. It's to reduce America's might. And we
Speaker 4: are the most consumptive and bostht productive and monetary generating
Speaker 4: country on earth. We're the bad people in the hearts
Speaker 4: and minds of the globalists. We're the outlier. We're the
Speaker 4: one that needs to be dealt with. So, yeah, the
Speaker 4: markets are down. Trump's trying to level that playing field
Speaker 4: so we can all trade together fairly and we can
Speaker 4: well afford each other's products. Bad for their desires, their
Speaker 4: globalist desires to minimize well not just the population, but
Speaker 4: minimize consumption. It's insane that people buy into it. Those
Speaker 4: what's problematic, and I always just kind of questioned why
Speaker 4: they buy into it. Coming up, Scott Wharton from the
Speaker 4: since ANI acquired joints the program at the top of
Speaker 4: the our News. He's covered now for taking over for
Speaker 4: Sharon Coolidge doing local reporting. Christopher Smith Aman at seven
Speaker 4: twenty with a Smith Amen, Brian James and Monday Monday
Speaker 4: at eight oh five and Todd Sledgeman of Cincinnta, VA
Speaker 4: with some information he wants to pass along to my
Speaker 4: veteran friends. He'll join the program at eight forty. I
Speaker 4: hope you can stick around. His friend Thomas happy to
Speaker 4: welcome to the pick About Tasty Morning showing congratulations. So
Speaker 4: the CINNI inquires Scott Whartman taking over the rad Your
Speaker 4: big shoes of Sharon Coolidge and Scott. That's not to
Speaker 4: suggest Sharon has big feet, but she's been around covering
Speaker 4: since a local politics council and the Shenanigans that goes
Speaker 4: on with the county commissioners for a lot of time,
Speaker 4: and she's been on the morning show, you know, passing
Speaker 4: along what she's learned and what she stayed on top of.
Speaker 4: So it's an important position and one that we all
Speaker 4: value very much, Scott, because we really truly need to
Speaker 4: know what's going on with city and county politics, and
Speaker 4: there's so very little reporting on it. So Cincinnati dot
Speaker 4: Com ishere, youre going to read what Scott writes about
Speaker 4: local politics. So you're excited about the job, Scott.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm very excited.
Speaker 9: It is daunting, though, because she did set a high
Speaker 9: bar and everybody knows her and if anything was happening
Speaker 9: in the city, I mean, that's you've heard it first
Speaker 9: from her, and that's what I hope to provide that
Speaker 9: level of deep coverage. But I also, you know, I
Speaker 9: want to get into a lot of the I grew
Speaker 9: up here in the Cincinnati area on the West Side,
Speaker 9: went to Elder and I want to be able to
Speaker 9: tell a lot of the neighborhood stories. A city has
Speaker 9: a great, interesting history, and I'm really excited about, you know,
Speaker 9: taking on this beat. But it is it's going to
Speaker 9: be a challenge.
Speaker 4: Well it is, and responsible reporting is a challenge, and
Speaker 4: I know we can expect responsible reporting from you. But
Speaker 4: I like the idea that it's not just going to
Speaker 4: be all you know, heady, gloom and doom topic politics.
Speaker 4: If you're going to get out into the world and
Speaker 4: talk about some of the finer aspects of this city,
Speaker 4: I think we could all use a really healthy injection
Speaker 4: of that.
Speaker 9: Oh, I agree, And there are a lot of great
Speaker 9: stories to tell in the neighborhoods. I've been covering the
Speaker 9: county Commission and like local congressional politics for the last
Speaker 9: seven or eight years, and before that I was covering
Speaker 9: the river cities in northern Kentucky. So I'm kind of
Speaker 9: excited to get back to more like local city reporting
Speaker 9: and what's going on here back at home, rather than
Speaker 9: the national scene, which is like NonStop news.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you've Yeah, I'm aware of that. Scott,
Speaker 4: painfully aware of it. That every single day of my
Speaker 4: life it's covering those stories and you know, it becomes
Speaker 4: overwhelming for me. But moving back, this is an exciting
Speaker 4: year to be playing this role, Scott Warman, because we've
Speaker 4: got a mayoral race and Corey Bowman looks like he
Speaker 4: may get some traction in a city that's voted all
Speaker 4: Democrats for such a long time, a lot of people
Speaker 4: a little dissatisfied with the direction of the city's going,
Speaker 4: and connected community's got the folks in Hyde Park rubbing
Speaker 4: the wrong way. Corey Bowman may end up getting some
Speaker 4: support from some otherwise pretty die hard Blue voters. You're
Speaker 4: looking forward to covering that race and what's your perception
Speaker 4: of it?
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's interesting because I mean, Cincinnati hasn't had a
Speaker 9: Republican candidate since two thousand and nine when Brad Weinst
Speaker 9: ran for mayor.
Speaker 10: I don't know.
Speaker 9: At this point, I can't handicap his chances. I don't know,
Speaker 9: because I mean every office in the city is held
Speaker 9: by a Democrat, so I mean it is an uphill battle.
Speaker 9: It is ostensibly a nonpartisan race, so the party doesn't
Speaker 9: appear on the ballot, So it'll be interesting to see
Speaker 9: how much how much Noisy can make.
Speaker 4: Well, of course, with Sharon covering since since I politics
Speaker 4: for such a long time, I know she had established
Speaker 4: I don't know whether they were good or bad, but
Speaker 4: she at least had access to and had good established
Speaker 4: relationships with the elected officials. Have you got your foot
Speaker 4: in the door on that element of it, Scott?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I know the people that are in office,
Speaker 9: dealt with them before, and definitely from a county perspective,
Speaker 9: I have good contacts there and I think that I
Speaker 9: don't think that should be too much of an issue.
Speaker 9: I'm not going into this completely blind.
Speaker 4: No, And you're going to go into it having to
Speaker 4: attend a lot of city council meetings, aren't you.
Speaker 9: That's that is the one the one downside. Because I've
Speaker 9: been with covering the congressional.
Speaker 10: Politics and the County Commission, I haven't had to.
Speaker 9: Necessarily go to a lot of municipal meetings. But that's
Speaker 9: kind of how I cut my teeth in the business,
Speaker 9: going to late nights and at least they're at reasonably timed,
Speaker 9: you know, there in the afternoon, so I won't be
Speaker 9: there till midnight or something like that.
Speaker 4: True that now, in terms of the County Commission, you're
Speaker 4: still going to have some you can be doing coverage
Speaker 4: for the commissioners because you know, this is an exciting
Speaker 4: time for that one. Because we of course have this
Speaker 4: stadium negotiation thing going.
Speaker 9: On, and that was something with Sherry we kind of
Speaker 9: tag teamed, because that is going to.
Speaker 10: Be the big story in the next year.
Speaker 9: Or two years if a deal gets done and what
Speaker 9: that will look like. At this point, the progress is
Speaker 9: very slow, but there is a deadline in June.
Speaker 1: The Bengals have.
Speaker 10: To decide whether they're going to extend the least.
Speaker 9: For another two years. And they can do that by themselves.
Speaker 9: They don't need a county or taxpayer approval. So we
Speaker 9: should be hearing something in the next couple months. And yes,
Speaker 9: I will be monitoring that. We will have a county
Speaker 9: reporter coming on board sometime in the next month month
Speaker 9: and a half. But yeah, that is also that's going
Speaker 9: to be other than the mayor's race, maybe even more so. Yeah,
Speaker 9: that's going to be the big story locally. What happens
Speaker 9: with that stadium. Well, at point, no one knows.
Speaker 4: No one knows, and I'm hoping we find out that
Speaker 4: there is someone on the opposite side of the table
Speaker 4: of the Brown family as opposed to being on the
Speaker 4: same side of the table as the original agreement was negotiated,
Speaker 4: because I don't think there's a human out there. And
Speaker 4: I mean, we even made national attention on how terrible
Speaker 4: that stadium deal was for the taxpayers here in Hamilton County.
Speaker 4: I think we're looking for a little bit more love
Speaker 4: from the Brown family this time around.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and they're playing their cards close to the vest.
Speaker 9: But I mean I can say the county and the
Speaker 9: elected officials they're not really making friends with the Bengals
Speaker 9: are and it's been very adversarial so far, a lot
Speaker 9: of brinksmanship. I don't know how much of that is
Speaker 9: also playing out behind the scenes, but it does seem actually,
Speaker 9: I mean a lot of the emails that I've gotten
Speaker 9: between county officials and the team, it's been pretty acrimonious.
Speaker 9: So there is a lot of pushback from elected officials
Speaker 9: on what they want from this lease.
Speaker 4: Well, Scott Ortman will find you at Cincinnati dot com.
Speaker 4: I reckon make my listeners. I go ahead and bookmark
Speaker 4: that and get yourself a subscription so you can get
Speaker 4: your popcorn out and read what Scott's going to be
Speaker 4: writing about lots of interesting topics for you to cover
Speaker 4: this year, Scott, and I wish you all the best
Speaker 4: of luck in the new role. And I appreciate you
Speaker 4: coming on the program and sharing your time with my
Speaker 4: listeners and me. And you have an open invitation here
Speaker 4: in the fifty five KRC Morning Show to give us
Speaker 4: an update on the exciting stuff that you're covering.
Speaker 10: Brian.
Speaker 9: I appreciate it and I look forward to it, and
Speaker 9: I hope I don't fiss the point.
Speaker 4: I'm sure you won't. Good luck, Scott, and thanks for
Speaker 4: again for coming on. And of course I always look
Speaker 4: forward to Christopher Smithvan coming on the program, which he's
Speaker 4: going to be doing next. We get the Monday Morning
Speaker 4: Smith Event every Monday at seven twenty ish and I'm
Speaker 4: not sure what he wants to talk about today, but
Speaker 4: then again I don't know what he wants talk about
Speaker 4: any day, but I love having him on. He's insightful,
Speaker 4: of course, logical and reasonable. So looking forward to Christopher
Speaker 4: Smith and how you can stick around for that. And
Speaker 4: I'm trying to encourage you a get in touch with
Speaker 4: foreign exchange. Everything's going up. Tariff's are not the price
Speaker 4: of repairing autombiles going up. I just like everything, inflationary
Speaker 4: pressures are hitting you. But you can save money by
Speaker 4: going to Foreign Exchange traditionally imported manufactured cars from either
Speaker 4: Asia or Europe. You're well served at Foreign Exchange. They
Speaker 4: will take great care of you with an ASE certified
Speaker 4: Master technician working on your car, fix it to your satisfaction,
Speaker 4: with a full warranty on parts and service, and that
Speaker 4: family friendly environment I know you get at the west
Speaker 4: Chester location, which is one I always recommend, where Austin
Speaker 4: is amazing team. We'll take certainly great care of you.
Speaker 4: So save money is the bottom line. Though it's less
Speaker 4: expensive to have your car repaired at Foreign Exchange than
Speaker 4: the dealer, and I know this from personal experience. Lots
Speaker 4: of money has been saved over the years with our
Speaker 4: imported cars getting well serviced by Austin and the crew.
Speaker 4: West Chester location. That's the Tylersville exit off of I
Speaker 4: seventy five east on Tylersville, a really short jog. It's
Speaker 4: just two streets hanging right on Kingland Drive. You run
Speaker 4: right into it online, you'll run into it at Foreign X.
Speaker 4: That's for in THELETTERAX dot com. The number our five
Speaker 4: one three six four four twenty six, twenty six. That's
Speaker 4: sixty four four twenty six, twenty six.
Speaker 11: This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station seven.
Speaker 4: Nineteen fifty five kr C, the talk station. It is
Speaker 4: that time of week. I always look forward to it.
Speaker 4: Former Vice Mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smithman,
Speaker 4: joins the program every Monday at this time to do
Speaker 4: what we call the Smith Event. Christopher, Welcome back to
Speaker 4: the fifty five care Morning Show. Carosey Morning Show. My friend,
Speaker 4: it's always a pleasure having you on.
Speaker 7: Oh brother, thank you so much for having me on.
Speaker 7: And I tell you I'm praying for all the people
Speaker 7: across our our countries who are being who are being
Speaker 7: impacted by the flooding. Oh yes, all that's all children
Speaker 7: who lost their lives, you know, older people, people that
Speaker 7: are that are devastated. They're losing their property. And the
Speaker 7: only thing I'll say out loud, and I know you
Speaker 7: know you you your heart goes out too, is people
Speaker 7: have to just drive carefully, like think about what you're
Speaker 7: doing out there. There's a lot of water on our highways.
Speaker 7: Hydro Planing is real. And that's kind of the message
Speaker 7: that I sent out there to to to my family,
Speaker 7: just be careful and take your time, and this water
Speaker 7: is not going to receive probably all week, we're going
Speaker 7: to get more rain, so we just have to be
Speaker 7: careful and and and waited out. But my heart goes
Speaker 7: out to all the people across the Midwest and across
Speaker 7: the country down in the south who who've lost a lot,
Speaker 7: you know, by the rainfall that we've had.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw that one of the you that there
Speaker 4: was a house floating down a river, or somebody's entire
Speaker 4: house got washed away, you know, And that kind of
Speaker 4: thing does happen in flooding. But you know, as you
Speaker 4: point out, there are steps you can take to protect yourselves.
Speaker 4: And don't take any chances driving through flooded roads. I
Speaker 4: mean sometimes it can be a lot deeper than you think.
Speaker 4: Your car could get washed away. You're certainly having a
Speaker 4: possibility of the engine stalling out. I mean, there's not
Speaker 4: a whole lot of cars out there in the world
Speaker 4: that have snorkels on them to allow the intake to
Speaker 4: continue to consume air. So you know, don't don't be
Speaker 4: stupid about the water on the roads.
Speaker 12: Man.
Speaker 7: No, and six inches of water, I mean you don't
Speaker 7: know what you don't know. If you if you have
Speaker 7: some type of major pothole, you know, due to that,
Speaker 7: you're dealing with water that's contaminated. You step on a
Speaker 7: nail or something, and and and now you're impacted that way.
Speaker 7: So you just have to be you just have to
Speaker 7: be very very careful. Yeah, sure, what I would say.
Speaker 4: And this is the first time we waited real quick here,
Speaker 4: Since this is the first time we've talked, I cannot
Speaker 4: tell you how how upset, sorry, and frustrated I was
Speaker 4: for having missed our our lunch appointment on Friday. Man,
Speaker 4: it just I felt so badly for I just kind
Speaker 4: of went into my typical Friday zone out mode after
Speaker 4: the show's over, and I zoned out completely. And I
Speaker 4: feel like I really let you down.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 1: I was looking forward to that too.
Speaker 7: Brother. We will get together and and it will it will,
Speaker 7: It will come together. It is no problem. You know.
Speaker 7: What I want to do is just shout out to you.
Speaker 7: I had a great conversation with Corey Bowman's running for mayor,
Speaker 7: and I just want to say it was a great,
Speaker 7: great meeting, great conversation. It was. It was very nice
Speaker 7: meeting his wife who is expecting their fourth child. And
Speaker 7: I would encourage other people who who you know, when
Speaker 7: when candidate Bowman is out there running, that they take
Speaker 7: the time, no matter what their political persuasion is, to
Speaker 7: take the time to get to know them. So I
Speaker 7: just want to share with you there's a primary coming up,
Speaker 7: obviously there's a general election. I was very excited, enjoyed
Speaker 7: my conversation with him, and I'm going to endorse him.
Speaker 7: So I'm asking other people to look at him very
Speaker 7: very closely, you know. You know, we're as an independent
Speaker 7: and as a person who's been out in politics. I
Speaker 7: don't tell anybody how to vote. I can just tell
Speaker 7: them this is what I'm thinking as I look at
Speaker 7: what's happening in the city of Cincinnati as it relates
Speaker 7: to infrastructure, crime. Our CRS pension obviously is getting banged
Speaker 7: up real bad, you know, over the past a week.
Speaker 7: But that matters when you're sending out ten million dollars
Speaker 7: a month to retirees. So we've got to make sure
Speaker 7: that we are electing people that are very interested in
Speaker 7: dealing with the financial situation that the city is under.
Speaker 7: So I want to publicly say a great conversation with him,
Speaker 7: and I definitely will endorse him in the primary and
Speaker 7: in the general election against against our.
Speaker 4: Current Well, I'm glad to hear that. You know, obviously,
Speaker 4: I think it's I expected that in a way, Christopher,
Speaker 4: because I know you, and I know you're all about logic,
Speaker 4: common sense, and reason, and you've got your issues with
Speaker 4: the current administration. And I think Corey does represent a
Speaker 4: refreshing alternative to what has become the norm in the
Speaker 4: city of Cincinnati. He's going to have an uphill challenge
Speaker 4: that you got to admit with. And I don't think
Speaker 4: that the makeup of council is going to change. I mean,
Speaker 4: individuals may be different, but it's still gonna be a
Speaker 4: bunch of Democrats. Knowing how blue the city is.
Speaker 7: Well, what I can say is that, you know, there's
Speaker 7: some big things that are going on, and we're following
Speaker 7: what's happening in High Park. As an example, there's a
Speaker 7: major hotel that they're trying to put up where many
Speaker 7: people in High Park are saying they're not following the law,
Speaker 7: which is another way of saying they're not following the code,
Speaker 7: and they're trying to put something up that's really really
Speaker 7: big and tall, and they feel like it's going to
Speaker 7: impact the High Park Square area. Yeah, and I'm sharing
Speaker 7: with you High Park residents are waking up, and I
Speaker 7: think as they organize, they're going to be looking at
Speaker 7: people like a Corey Bowman, or they're going to be
Speaker 7: looking at different council members. And what I will share
Speaker 7: with you is their moments in Cincinnati history where there
Speaker 7: are things that happen that change elections. This could be
Speaker 7: one of those based on what's happening in Highe Park
Speaker 7: because right now they don't feel like people at city
Speaker 7: Hall are listening at the fifty one neighborhoods. Yes, right,
Speaker 7: the other fifty one neighborhoods are waking up, going hold
Speaker 7: on city Council and the mayor aren't listening to us.
Speaker 7: We're saying we don't we're not against development. We just
Speaker 7: don't want this thing that's too big, too tall. We
Speaker 7: wanted to fit in with our square. And they just
Speaker 7: are not getting the kind of support that they thought
Speaker 7: they should get. So look for Hide Park and places
Speaker 7: like Mount Lookout to be waking up and that could
Speaker 7: be a big opening for Corey Bowman.
Speaker 4: They really could. And we all know Hyde Park is
Speaker 4: a rather wealthy community and that could result in some
Speaker 4: campaign contributions going into Corey's offers, which he could certainly use.
Speaker 4: And in fact, since we mentioned Corey, He's got an
Speaker 4: event in priceal Chilli beginning at five pm tomorrow evening.
Speaker 4: If you want to meet him. He's really approachable, He's
Speaker 4: a very friendly guy, and he just absolutely loves this city.
Speaker 4: I mean, he has expressed just a profound love for
Speaker 4: the city of Cincinnati, and it comes through loud and clear,
Speaker 4: not just in his you know, his positive attitude about
Speaker 4: the city, but I think in what his platform is.
Speaker 4: You can go to Corey Bowman dot com and check
Speaker 4: that out. We'll pauseible bring Christopher back more topics to
Speaker 4: talk about with him.
Speaker 1: But first.
Speaker 4: H seven thirty here, fifty out there, so he talks dation.
Speaker 4: Brian Thomas engage in a conversation with Christopher smitheman this
Speaker 4: Smither event.
Speaker 1: Christopher, what else is on your mind today?
Speaker 7: Well, Stephanie Turner, who is a United States of America fencer,
Speaker 7: took a knee. Yeah, in the last four or five
Speaker 7: days and it just continues to blow me away. Brian
Speaker 7: Thomas that we're still having these now discussions about female sports.
Speaker 7: I want to again make it clear that men should
Speaker 7: not be competing against women in their sports. It is
Speaker 7: a safe place for women. How can you how can
Speaker 7: you be in Women's History Month that we just finished,
Speaker 7: or say that you're you're a dad, you got a daughter.
Speaker 7: You know you're a dad, or you're a mom and
Speaker 7: you have a daughter and you think it's okay for
Speaker 7: a dude to compete against your daughter in any sport.
Speaker 7: I mean, it's we're just we're swinging so far to
Speaker 7: the left on some of these common sense discussions. But
Speaker 7: to have this woman be so courageous to say I'm
Speaker 7: taking a knee. I am not going to fence a man.
Speaker 7: I'm not and I guarantee you as a fencer, she
Speaker 7: has been practicing and competing her whole life, and for
Speaker 7: her to take a knee like that right probably disqualified
Speaker 7: her and put her in a very bad position as
Speaker 7: she's trying to advance in her sport. And I'm just
Speaker 7: saying I want to commend her for having the courage,
Speaker 7: but again, it it gives me another moment to say
Speaker 7: she's right, and I am tired of the Democratic Party
Speaker 7: continuing to push this agenda. You know that men should
Speaker 7: be competing against women and boys should be competing against
Speaker 7: girls in their sports. Brian Thomas, I think it's outrageous
Speaker 7: and I think that we have to continue to be
Speaker 7: outspoken about it so girls and women understand that there
Speaker 7: are men that are standing in solidarity with them, saying
Speaker 7: that this is a safe place. And I'm a person
Speaker 7: that supports the LGBTQ plus community. I'm not this anti
Speaker 7: gay person. I'm saying this is too far. It has
Speaker 7: nothing to do with LGBTQ plus issues. Keep men out
Speaker 7: of women's face.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know I'm on record is agreeing with
Speaker 4: you completely on that one. And you know I've always
Speaker 4: used the illustration just look at the world records. Look
Speaker 4: at the world records in any given sport. You know,
Speaker 4: I'd like your daughter's a swimmer. I mean the fifty
Speaker 4: free fifty meters freestyle, the male record is I think
Speaker 4: two or three seconds faster than the world record for
Speaker 4: the females. Why because men have a physical advantage over
Speaker 4: women and there's no.
Speaker 1: Arguing against that.
Speaker 4: And you know, when you think about transgender individuals, I'm
Speaker 4: not even going to argue about it. Listen, I believe
Speaker 4: you believe you're the opposite sex. I'm not arguing with
Speaker 4: you over that. You're entitled to your beliefs. Maybe you
Speaker 4: need psychological help, maybe you think you don't whatever. I
Speaker 4: can live into the same banner of freedom as that person.
Speaker 4: But when it comes to actual fairness in competition, just
Speaker 4: because you say you're a woman, you shouldn't be allowed
Speaker 4: to compete against women because of that unfair natural physical
Speaker 4: advantage you have done.
Speaker 1: End of story. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I mean we're supposed to. It is common sense. We're
Speaker 4: supposed to, and and and the other. The other component
Speaker 4: of this that always bothers me, Christopher, is that you
Speaker 4: and I are supposed to change our belief system to
Speaker 4: cater to their belief Now, I know for a fact,
Speaker 4: even if you do transgender surgery, you lop parts off
Speaker 4: or you sew them on, your chromosomal reality is not
Speaker 4: altered by that. That's a scientific fact. And I'm supposed
Speaker 4: to just accept that. No, you're a woman, now what. No,
Speaker 4: I'm not going to do that. I'll let you live
Speaker 4: your life that way. Fine, I'll you know you. I'm
Speaker 4: brace I could be friends with you, but don't expect
Speaker 4: me to change my mindset when mine is based on
Speaker 4: scientific reality.
Speaker 7: This is why so many Democrats continue to say that
Speaker 7: they did not leave the Democratic Party, but the Democratic
Speaker 7: Party left them. Yeah, and they keep moving in this direction,
Speaker 7: put our girls and our women in these unsafe environments.
Speaker 7: There was a there was a story out of a
Speaker 7: field hockey game where there was a man competing against
Speaker 7: a This is a college game, it's my understanding. But
Speaker 7: he threw that puck so hard that it knocked her
Speaker 7: teeth out in the front, like some of her front teeth.
Speaker 7: This is this is unsafe, Brian Thomas, and I'm gonna
Speaker 7: continue to stand with them. And again, Stephanie Turner had
Speaker 7: a lot of courage to take a knee because she's
Speaker 7: gonna pay a price. He's not like, oh, she's not
Speaker 7: gonna pay a price. To anybody that's listening. This is
Speaker 7: a woman who took who took a knee and said
Speaker 7: I'm not doing this, and and the and the bottom
Speaker 7: line is we need more women out there saying this
Speaker 7: is too far, and I just want to verbally stand
Speaker 7: in solidarity with her. I had the opportunity to speak
Speaker 7: at Oak Hills last week. Uh there's a there's a
Speaker 7: great coach out there, Coach Price, their superintendent, Jeff Brandt,
Speaker 7: and Pastor Kirk, who actually is the pastor for the Reds.
Speaker 7: He's there, he's there, he's their pastor for the for
Speaker 7: the Cincinnati Reads. And a friend of mine, Eric Keaton,
Speaker 7: got me out there to talk to them. And again
Speaker 7: this was to their athletes, right and so when in
Speaker 7: that room, right as I'm sitting there thinking I would
Speaker 7: not want men competing against our boys, competing against the
Speaker 7: girls that I was speaking to, and I wouldn't want
Speaker 7: a man competing against a woman. And so they are
Speaker 7: all in agreement and the cord that we've got to
Speaker 7: keep these safe places. But it was a great time.
Speaker 7: I enjoyed meeting all of the staff and faculty out
Speaker 7: at Oak Hills, and I look forward to going back
Speaker 7: and talking to them again. Brian Thomas, I want to
Speaker 7: share with you Corey Bowman sent me a text message.
Speaker 7: Early voting starts tomorrow for the mayor's race for the primary.
Speaker 7: So at the end of the day, you know, people
Speaker 7: I don't even know, probably that that primary kicks off tomorrow.
Speaker 7: This is the last day to register the voter to
Speaker 7: update your address, and so yet again I want to
Speaker 7: encourage he can't run. He can't run for mayor if
Speaker 7: he doesn't win the primary. So this is the first step.
Speaker 7: So people shouldn't sit it out, they should show up
Speaker 7: and vote for Corey Bowman.
Speaker 4: Appreciate their minder on that one. Let's bring Christopher back
Speaker 4: for a few more minutes. If it's about Garrosed. He
Speaker 4: talked dation Ryan Thomas with the former vice mayor of
Speaker 4: the City of Since Christopher Smith. Aman at vote Smith,
Speaker 4: Amen on your ex accounts, how you reach Christopher?
Speaker 1: What else did your mind to Dave Christopher Brother.
Speaker 7: We've got some federal courts that are just going wild
Speaker 7: out here, and it's my understanding there about six one
Speaker 7: hundred of them, these judges that keep trying to control
Speaker 7: the executive branch of the United States of America. And
Speaker 7: for me, it doesn't matter with the libertarian parts of
Speaker 7: my politics, or the independent part of my politics, or
Speaker 7: the Republican parts of my politics. You know, the reality
Speaker 7: of it is we have a separation of power for
Speaker 7: a reason, and so it's really important for citizens to understand,
Speaker 7: no matter what their politics are, that separation is there
Speaker 7: for a reason. And these courts are going crazy. It
Speaker 7: is so unacceptable, and I am shocked that the Supreme Court,
Speaker 7: we may have had the opportunity, haven't clarified the power
Speaker 7: of these courts. So the reality of it is, I
Speaker 7: pray that these deportations of gang members, of who are
Speaker 7: called MS thirteen gang members, no matter what the gang
Speaker 7: they're involved in. And my understanding is they're arresting some
Speaker 7: of these people Brian Thomas, right out of suburban homes.
Speaker 7: You know, they've got their kids out there. I'm a dad, whatever,
Speaker 7: boom boom bam. But they're living next to somebody who's
Speaker 7: a gang member, and maybe the people in the community
Speaker 7: didn't even know it. But you're living here illegally. You
Speaker 7: came illegally, you're living here illegally. And these courts are
Speaker 7: trying to intervene and give people who have jumped the fence,
Speaker 7: broken the prompt the process. Other people that came here
Speaker 7: legally and followed the process. They're trying to reward them
Speaker 7: in some kind of way. So this is a very
Speaker 7: interesting fight that I'm watching very closely, and I really
Speaker 7: hope the executive branch wins here for all of us.
Speaker 7: I don't want to see courts undermining elections when you
Speaker 7: have a person who was elected, no matter who they are,
Speaker 7: by the United States of America, to have a court
Speaker 7: trying to tell them what they can and can'tnot do
Speaker 7: with their executive power.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and of course I firmly believe that we need
Speaker 4: to reform our immigration laws to provide some extra clarity
Speaker 4: on who we can kick out. And you know, the
Speaker 4: idea of being able to throw someone out without going
Speaker 4: through this long and arduous process. I mean, we're so
Speaker 4: backed up in these immigration hearings. What aither like seven
Speaker 4: or eight years of backups. You you come into the country,
Speaker 4: you get a free pass to come into the Biden
Speaker 4: administration's policies, and then you wait around for a hearing.
Speaker 4: And meanwhile these people just sort of disappear into the
Speaker 4: ether because the process is so slow, and they don't
Speaker 4: bother showing up to the hearings when the hearing date
Speaker 4: actually comes around.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'm just I'm torn on this and the other component
Speaker 4: of this. And we talk about this with the Politanum
Speaker 4: and people get all outrage and upset about it. But
Speaker 4: we do have a due process clause in the Constitution now,
Speaker 4: to declare someone is a gang member, that's one thing,
Speaker 4: and they may very well be. But you know, if
Speaker 4: someone showed up at your door and said you're a
Speaker 4: gang member, we're kicking you out of the country, you
Speaker 4: might want to argue that, no, I'm not a member
Speaker 4: of a gang, and you better you got to prove
Speaker 4: it in the court of law than I'm actually a
Speaker 4: member of a gang if I'm going to fall into
Speaker 4: some you know, process that allows you to throw me
Speaker 4: out of the country. So I'm torn and mixed in
Speaker 4: my emotions being a you know, a constitutionally based person.
Speaker 7: I think in this particular case, that different agencies had
Speaker 7: defined this guy as a gang member, that he had
Speaker 7: been involved, you know, in one of the things that's
Speaker 7: been driving me crazy with some of these college students
Speaker 7: right who are here. It's a privilege, But then you
Speaker 7: come here saying you support hermas. You're demonstrating we're not
Speaker 7: talking about your free speech, we're talking about your behavior.
Speaker 7: You're throwing bricks through windows, you're setting things on fire.
Speaker 7: That doesn't give you the right to stay in this country.
Speaker 7: So when people argue and they say, well, this person
Speaker 7: has their freedom of speech, they're not being thrown out
Speaker 7: because of what they said. They're being thrown out because
Speaker 7: of what they did their actions. So they're things that
Speaker 7: you cannot do. And the other thing is you can't
Speaker 7: go into any other country and act like this and
Speaker 7: not find yourself in a prison and then they might
Speaker 7: not let you out for five or ten years. Right,
Speaker 7: We're very gracious in the United States about allowing some
Speaker 7: of the things that we have seen happen over the
Speaker 7: last four years. Look, brother, I want to close by
Speaker 7: saying our markets are going crazy. You know what I
Speaker 7: do for a living as a financial planner, and I'm
Speaker 7: going to be very cautious about what I can and
Speaker 7: cannot say. But I want to explain to your listening
Speaker 7: audience that margin calls are real. That people have gone out,
Speaker 7: they borrowed money for security that they own in their
Speaker 7: brokerage accounts, and some of this selling that we're seeing
Speaker 7: are what are called margin calls, where people are being
Speaker 7: called up being in said you've got to make your
Speaker 7: accounts hold. I've never done it. I don't buy things
Speaker 7: on margin. I don't buy things with loans when I'm
Speaker 7: buying securities. But you're going to see some of that
Speaker 7: most likely that action and you don't know why that
Speaker 7: person next to you is having to sell. But some
Speaker 7: of this has to be because of some margin calls,
Speaker 7: because people were not anticipating this kind of a decline,
Speaker 7: and so as we go lower, those bargin calls accelerate. Yeah,
Speaker 7: client had to either put the money in or they
Speaker 7: have to or the broker's firm will have to sell
Speaker 7: that security. So it looks it's still orderly, is what
Speaker 7: I'm seeing. I'm seeing something that's orderly, and I'm not
Speaker 7: in this kind of panic mode. Listen to your financial
Speaker 7: advisors and those financial professionals who are working with you.
Speaker 7: Do not get emotionally charged by some of the things
Speaker 7: that you're happening in the market action. I still see
Speaker 7: an orderly market out here. And some of this I
Speaker 7: think is absolutely based on people who have taken loans
Speaker 7: out and are getting margin calls.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand that completely.
Speaker 4: And you know, I'm I never checked my four oh
Speaker 4: one K plan, Christopher, because especially when markets go down
Speaker 4: like this, I don't want to get anxiety. They always
Speaker 4: end up going back at some point. I mean, look
Speaker 4: at how bad the markets got routed during COVID. I mean,
Speaker 4: people lost, you know, one third of their entire retirement account.
Speaker 4: But if you didn't touch it, you left it there,
Speaker 4: you gained it all back and then some. So you've
Speaker 4: seen these cycles before, Christopher.
Speaker 7: I have, and I just say that you know there
Speaker 7: are people out there that that are working with a
Speaker 7: lot of people and and and seek that advice and
Speaker 7: and work with those financial professionals to make sure you're
Speaker 7: not making an emotional decision. It's a it's a it's
Speaker 7: a it's a logical decision. And I just want to
Speaker 7: close out by again just where I started, you know,
Speaker 7: because the election starts tomorrow and Corey Bowman is on
Speaker 7: the ballot in a primary, and they typically the primaries
Speaker 7: are very thin. A lot of people don't participate in primaries.
Speaker 7: So people should know that the election for mayor has started.
Speaker 7: It starts tomorrow, and people should get out there and
Speaker 7: vote for for Corey Bowman. I want to see a
Speaker 7: change in city Hall. You know. The pothole situation is
Speaker 7: steel ridiculous. The snow removal when we had it was ridiculous.
Speaker 7: Our Cincinnati retirement system is still in trouble. This the
Speaker 7: market action that we're seeing right now is not making
Speaker 7: that any better brain. And so we need to elect
Speaker 7: furious people right who are interested in solving some of
Speaker 7: the bigger problems that Cincinnati has before it's too late.
Speaker 7: I don't want somebody playing this radio interview that you
Speaker 7: and I are having saying Smitherman's been talking about the
Speaker 7: Cincinnati retirement system. We're the only city in the state
Speaker 7: of Ohio that has a retirement system. And when the
Speaker 7: retirement system goes under, so does the city of Cincinnati.
Speaker 7: Every taxpayer in the City of Cincinnati is responsible for
Speaker 7: bailing out the Cincinnati retirement system. And when I left,
Speaker 7: it still had an eight hundred million dollar unfunded liability.
Speaker 7: That liability is going to continue to expand over time.
Speaker 7: There was about two point one billion two point two
Speaker 7: billion in assets, and we needed to have three billion.
Speaker 7: And so as long as we continue to elect people
Speaker 7: that take their eye off the ball and they're down
Speaker 7: there talking about what's happening in Israel and Hamak, I'm
Speaker 7: talking about on the floor of city councils passing resolutions
Speaker 7: about what's going on in Israel and Hamas though they
Speaker 7: are not serious about solving the big problems that Cincinnati has.
Speaker 7: And I just say sometimes the smaller things are the
Speaker 7: things that they should be focused on that are most
Speaker 7: important to the citizens, like potholes. I'm tired of driving
Speaker 7: over them my tires and I know they're citizens that
Speaker 7: are listening that their tires were blown out. And then
Speaker 7: you don't get a response. The city won't reimburse the citizens.
Speaker 7: They tell you that there's a process, but when you
Speaker 7: try to get into the process, you can't get in
Speaker 7: the process. And so please go out there again. Vote
Speaker 7: for Corey Bowman for mayor in this primary, and vote
Speaker 7: for him in the general election. Brian Thomas, I appreciate
Speaker 7: you so much giving me the time and the voice
Speaker 7: on your show on Mondays from seven to twenty until
Speaker 7: about a quarter tail of ten minutes to eight. I
Speaker 7: appreciate you, thank you.
Speaker 4: And I appreciate you brother. Take the weight off my shoulders,
Speaker 4: and I always love what you have to say. We'll
Speaker 4: talk again next Monday. Have a wonderful week. A friend,
Speaker 4: just shout us seven fifteen fifty five cares the talk
Speaker 4: station you want those fifty three I think about KRCD
Speaker 4: talk station. A very happy Monday if you try to
Speaker 4: make it so anyway. Money Monday with Brian James talking
Speaker 4: about financial planners. We're talking about the markets and the
Speaker 4: sink of the markets and everything else. We have Brian James,
Speaker 4: and let's talk about since at VA's todd Sledge returns
Speaker 4: at eight forty with some valuable information for my veteran friends.
Speaker 4: We've got time for a quick call. Here, got Bobby
Speaker 4: on the phone. Bobby, welcome on the program.
Speaker 1: Happy Monday, my brother.
Speaker 12: It may not be that happy, but you know, you
Speaker 12: got to speak the truth and speaking the truth and
Speaker 12: the public square.
Speaker 1: That's the way it is. That's the way it is. Amen, brother. Hey.
Speaker 12: As for the stock market, people have to understand I
Speaker 12: was on there six weeks ago and said we were
Speaker 12: going to have a forty percent drop. These institutions and
Speaker 12: the foreign markets invest in our stock market, not individuals,
Speaker 12: very few, and we're already at twenty percent, So expect
Speaker 12: another twenty percent drop within the next three weeks.
Speaker 4: Well, wish you call, wish you could call with them
Speaker 4: better predictions there, Bobby. People are already really really from
Speaker 4: the twenty percent drop we felt so far.
Speaker 12: They're just facts, my friend. And also all these circuit
Speaker 12: court judges and everything, everybody keeps talking about like the
Speaker 12: chief judges in DC that you got fifteen of them,
Speaker 12: five of them were born out of this country. And
Speaker 12: people need to look at the facts and everything. It's
Speaker 12: no different than Epoch that had a nice picture the
Speaker 12: National Mall Saturday. You look at the people there, Not
Speaker 12: one person out of hundreds of people we reviewed, nobody
Speaker 12: had on anything patriotic.
Speaker 1: There wasn't a wow, it wasn't the shirt. Nothing.
Speaker 4: Well, those organized, those organized rallies had nothing at all
Speaker 4: to do with patriotism. It's just batcrap insanity from a
Speaker 4: bunch of useful idiots being directed by you know, multi
Speaker 4: millionaires like Sorows to attack our country. I mean, they
Speaker 4: don't make any sense. I mean, you know, I just
Speaker 4: keep saying, why don't you look up the definition of fascism?
Speaker 4: When you free start calling Donald Trump with fascists, why
Speaker 4: don't you look at what the reality is of what
Speaker 4: DOGE has done to help save Social Security and Medicare
Speaker 4: by getting rid of or medicaid, by really getting rid
Speaker 4: of the fraud, waste and abuse that's going on in there,
Speaker 4: rather than accusing them of getting rid of it and
Speaker 4: cutting people off. It's insanity, absolute insanity. Anyway, we will
Speaker 4: deal with the markets.
Speaker 1: Money.
Speaker 4: Money is Brian James coming up out for the top
Speaker 4: of our news. Hope you can stick around.
Speaker 1: What's doge digging out doing ill of a job? Check
Speaker 1: can often for the latest.
Speaker 11: I call it the Force of super Geniuses.
Speaker 1: Fifty five krs the talk station.
Speaker 3: At four coming up in aighth five A fifty five
Speaker 3: kr CV talk station at a very happy Monday tea
Speaker 3: always made extra happy because we get to talk to
Speaker 3: Brian James and its financial planner is with all words
Speaker 3: financial Brian, welcome back to the program.
Speaker 4: Timing is everything. It's good to have you on this morning.
Speaker 11: Good morning, good morning, and hey let's talk about those reds.
Speaker 1: Let's start with happy news and how that doesn't work either.
Speaker 1: Yeah that does.
Speaker 4: I know that doesn't work either. I hope you live
Speaker 4: on high ground. I had my Facebook a kind of
Speaker 4: open and just everybody's posting pictures of how these rivers
Speaker 4: are just busting at the seams, and somebody emailed me
Speaker 4: posting like Route fifty is underwater and it's just insane,
Speaker 4: and then of rain that's gone on out there.
Speaker 7: Oh.
Speaker 11: Yes, we have some friends and family who were visiting Ohio. University,
Speaker 11: for it was Mom's weekend, and there were texts and
Speaker 11: messages flying around over exactly how you could get out
Speaker 11: of Athens and get back here to Cincinnati. So lots
Speaker 11: of that going on, and unfortunately we seem to be
Speaker 11: the toilet of our neighborhood. All of the water runs
Speaker 11: downhill to us, so we're okay, but my sump is
Speaker 11: going to run for a month straight.
Speaker 4: Oh jeez, I'm sorry to hear that. Fortunately we happen
Speaker 4: to be on high ground on top of the hill
Speaker 4: in Simms Township as opposed to the bottom of the
Speaker 4: hill where the Little Miami River is in Loveland is
Speaker 4: also flowing over the bank. So God blood prayers to
Speaker 4: everybody out there who's having a cope with that. Hopefully
Speaker 4: it'll dry out real soon. Anyhow, we got to get
Speaker 4: to it. Bad news in the market. How many trillions
Speaker 4: of dollars were wiped out last week in the market,
Speaker 4: Brian James.
Speaker 1: Well, just more than a couple.
Speaker 11: So we've seen obviously a lot of volatility. And if
Speaker 11: you haven't looked at your four oh when k goes
Speaker 11: ahead and don't, there's no need.
Speaker 1: If you were, we will be fairly predictable on this.
Speaker 11: But if you were properly diversified in the first place,
Speaker 11: then this is just eating your vegetables.
Speaker 1: It's no fun. Nobody wants to do it.
Speaker 11: But yes, of course, when the markets are getting hammered
Speaker 11: across the board, your investments are going to come down to.
Speaker 11: So what happened, of course, was we had we've got
Speaker 11: some tariffs now that we haven't dealt with the big
Speaker 11: news from last week. And what really triggered is after
Speaker 11: President Trump unveiled his sweeping plan across all of our
Speaker 11: US partners. This was a ten percent minimum tear iff
Speaker 11: on all imports in Canada and Mexico are exempt from
Speaker 11: that because they're stuck with twenty five percent. But the
Speaker 11: big thing that happened was China came back and said
Speaker 11: this is kind of the first response. China came back
Speaker 11: and just said, okay, we're going to put thirty four
Speaker 11: percent on products coming from the United States into China.
Speaker 11: So basically it's a bit of a tennis match now
Speaker 11: as as we fire shots, you know, kind of back
Speaker 11: and forth. But I think the market may have been
Speaker 11: sort of hoping, and I'm sure President Trump was definitely
Speaker 11: hoping that we're going to levy these big, scary tariffs,
Speaker 11: but we're going to swing such a big stick that
Speaker 11: everybody's just gonna buckle and it'll all go away over
Speaker 11: the weekend. Maybe a little naive, that's definitely not happening.
Speaker 11: But China's response is what triggered the massive sell off
Speaker 11: on Friday, and it's going to continue today.
Speaker 1: So prepare for a bumpy ride.
Speaker 4: Yeah, indeed, And I guess given the trade imbalance with China, know,
Speaker 4: Trump keeps talking about that they don't buy nearly as
Speaker 4: much stuff from US as we buy from them.
Speaker 11: Correct, there's a massive imbalance there. The twenty twenty fourth
Speaker 11: deficit with China was almost three hundred billion, and our
Speaker 11: imported goods were about four hundred and thirty eight billion.
Speaker 11: So and ironically, that's how the tariff calculation was. They're
Speaker 11: simply taking half of that deficit and applying it against
Speaker 11: the against the import numbers, and so basically every country
Speaker 11: gets kind of different calculation there. But the whole point
Speaker 11: is just to reduce the deficit. We want to make
Speaker 11: it more profitable for the United States to be in
Speaker 11: these situations in the first place, to be trading, and
Speaker 11: we have given up a lot. Of course, as President
Speaker 11: Trump says, that's very true. What has driven the stock
Speaker 11: market a lot, even American companies, is the idea that
Speaker 11: other countries are willing to trade with our country, but
Speaker 11: over decades we've allowed them to grab a little more here,
Speaker 11: grab a little more there by levying tariffs against us.
Speaker 1: Trump wants to tear the band.
Speaker 11: Aid off and set us back to a little more
Speaker 11: level playing field. No way to get there without somebody
Speaker 11: taking a significant hit. Obviously, these countries don't want to
Speaker 11: take that hit, so they're going to swing back, and
Speaker 11: it's just going to be a couple of rounds of
Speaker 11: haymakers back and forth until everybody settles down.
Speaker 4: Well, I guess what would the landscape look like if
Speaker 4: it was an equal playing field. If let's say they
Speaker 4: eradicated tariffs and nobody charged anybody for stuff coming in
Speaker 4: or going out? Would that be economically devastating countries? Are
Speaker 4: they reliant upon these terraffs to keep their uh uh,
Speaker 4: to to keep the process going, to keep their governments open,
Speaker 4: to keep them from a financial collapse?
Speaker 1: I mean? Is that? Is that the point of this?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 11: I think that in the short run, in the very
Speaker 11: short run. If everybody just agreed, you know what, we're
Speaker 11: going to take all the tariffs off the table completely,
Speaker 11: then countries that were relying on that obviously are going
Speaker 11: to see a reduction in the income that they're getting.
Speaker 11: Because the United States never objected, we were we were
Speaker 11: cool with it for for decades, and so that would
Speaker 11: effectively be like a price reduction in the amount of
Speaker 11: revenue that they're bringing in, and therefore that's going to
Speaker 11: be a hit to their economies. They can't afford to
Speaker 11: simply let it all go away. Uh, you know, no
Speaker 11: country can can is going to be able to simply
Speaker 11: reduce the revenue they've got coming in and still get
Speaker 11: all of their bills paid. So that's why they're they're
Speaker 11: trying to fight back and just make sure that they
Speaker 11: retained some some level of that income they had coming
Speaker 11: in because they just can't afford it.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess you know.
Speaker 4: Their component of this is it would allow their people
Speaker 4: to at least afford American products as presently, with some
Speaker 4: of the terraces as high as they are, they're just
Speaker 4: not buying them. I mean, there's a reason we have
Speaker 4: a trade imbalance because they cannot afford to purchase American products.
Speaker 11: Yes, yeah, that has a lot to do with it.
Speaker 11: And then we doubled down on that by making it
Speaker 11: political too, so now it's a statement to not buy
Speaker 11: American products. I saw a picture online of a Canadian
Speaker 11: supermarket where Canadian strawberries were listed at six dollars a
Speaker 11: little box of them.
Speaker 1: And those were pretty much sold out.
Speaker 11: The American ones right next door to them were four
Speaker 11: bucks a box and plenty to go around. So there's
Speaker 11: there's more than just the economics happening at this point.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I know they can make their own choices
Speaker 4: along those lines. You choose not to buy something, you
Speaker 4: choose not to buy some gets why nobody buys bud
Speaker 4: Light beer anymore. And whether or not that'll ever come
Speaker 4: back is I suppose it depends upon whether we iron
Speaker 4: out our differences and get this away from politics and
Speaker 4: just start talking about, you know, plain simple economic realities.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 11: This this isn't unprecedented though we've had tariffs before. Remember
Speaker 11: when the Holly Smoot Act was nothing more than a
Speaker 11: funny line from Ferris Bueller.
Speaker 1: Dale, all of.
Speaker 11: A sudden, it shows up all the time, because this
Speaker 11: is the that was the last time we saw tariffs
Speaker 11: raised in to this extent.
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, we're a little we're a little past that. Now.
Speaker 11: This is historic in scope. It didn't work during the
Speaker 11: Great Depression. So the goal then, though, was a little
Speaker 11: bit different. The goal was to hopefully prop up the
Speaker 11: US market front the US economy from a very very
Speaker 11: very extremely weak position. It was dead on the table.
Speaker 11: This is a little bit different where this is a
Speaker 11: negotiating tactic. I don't think President Trump would would would
Speaker 11: mind at all if all these tariffs went away pretty quickly,
Speaker 11: if he got what he wanted in terms of, uh,
Speaker 11: you know, of the concessions from our customers. Basically that's
Speaker 11: the goal. I think this is a negotiation tactic. The
Speaker 11: man is a He wrote The Art of the Deal
Speaker 11: was his big book back in the eighties. That's what
Speaker 11: he's all about. So this is simply a way to say, hey,
Speaker 11: this is what America is willing to do and what
Speaker 11: it is no longer willing to do. Some of it
Speaker 11: is going to be a little bit of a sleight
Speaker 11: of hand, smoking mirrors, because I don't think anybody believes
Speaker 11: we're truly going to maintain fifty percent tariffs on some
Speaker 11: of these countries forever and ever, because they'll simply never
Speaker 11: buy from US again.
Speaker 1: That makes it a negotiating tactic.
Speaker 4: Well, and I know we learned from COVID that we
Speaker 4: and I know it's a broad statement, maybe too large
Speaker 4: a brush. We don't make anything anymore here, but you know,
Speaker 4: it is a fact that China does manufacture the vast
Speaker 4: majority of the component parts that go into pharmaceuticals, if
Speaker 4: not manufacture them, generally speaking, that's a dangerous position to
Speaker 4: be in considering, you know, we could end up in
Speaker 4: some sort of shooting war with China and we can't
Speaker 4: get pharmaceuticals. So this may bring back some of those
Speaker 4: some of those manufacturing facilities here in the United States,
Speaker 4: which would provide some measure of security. I think that'd
Speaker 4: be a positive benefit from.
Speaker 11: It, absolutely, and if that actually happens now. The one
Speaker 11: scary thing that I can't I quite get my head around,
Speaker 11: as we had the same situation with semiconductors. We were
Speaker 11: buying so much of them, virtually all of them from Asia,
Speaker 11: a lot of them from Taiwan, with whom we have
Speaker 11: a good relationship. But it does seem like any day
Speaker 11: now that could become China. So the answer to that
Speaker 11: was to build a couple of plants a little southeast
Speaker 11: of Columbus. Intel was building plants to produce these things
Speaker 11: on shore.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 11: I don't understand why that has come in the crosshairs,
Speaker 11: but for some reason there is there are concerns that
Speaker 11: that's not going to be happen anymore.
Speaker 1: So some of these puzzle pieces don't quite fit.
Speaker 4: Okay, and real quick here before we take a break
Speaker 4: and come back, Brian James. When the Smooth Holly Terrraffact
Speaker 4: went in, and obviously it was a disaster for us.
Speaker 4: It exacerbated the Great Depression, and it has always gone
Speaker 4: down in history. Is a really terrible policy position by Hoover.
Speaker 4: But what were the what was the terraff situation like
Speaker 4: relative to American exports? Was it the same? Were there
Speaker 4: other countries tariff American imports or or was the landscape
Speaker 4: I mean, in other words, is it a comparable comparison?
Speaker 1: It is?
Speaker 11: So yeah, So a lot of countries did respond with
Speaker 11: their own tariffs, and that just reduced the overall trade.
Speaker 1: Activity with the United States.
Speaker 11: Became very protective and isolationist, and other countries responded in kind,
Speaker 11: and that led to a sixty five percent decrease in
Speaker 11: international trade between nineteen twenty nine and nineteen thirty four.
Speaker 11: So that's why ben Stein says they did not work
Speaker 11: and the United States sank further into the Great Depression.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Boy, the Wall Street journals really got its hire up
Speaker 4: against the Trump administration for this. Normally they're, you know,
Speaker 4: kind of side with you, conservative leaning at least to a
Speaker 4: certain degree. I know they're they're rather politically neutral, but
Speaker 4: leaning toward you know, pro business, pro capitalism. Man, you
Speaker 4: can't find a positive word to be said in the
Speaker 4: Wall Street Journal of late.
Speaker 7: Not a lot.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Automotive CEOs Jim Farley, Ford, Mary Barrow, General Motors
Speaker 11: are expressing really strong concerns. The technology industry has never
Speaker 11: been a huge fan of Trump other than magically showing
Speaker 11: up on the dais this egnauguration overnight, but they've been
Speaker 11: absolutely crushed. Steel is one of the places where that
Speaker 11: actually possibly could benefit from all of this. So some
Speaker 11: of those CEOs have been a little more supportive than
Speaker 11: the rest. But in general, generally speaking, things that slam
Speaker 11: on the brakes in the economy are generally not good.
Speaker 11: For any publicly traded company, and CEOs are starting to
Speaker 11: pipe up about it.
Speaker 4: All right, we'll bring Brian James back to talk more
Speaker 4: about these and other topics. Ouctation Brian Thomas, the Money
Speaker 4: mondays Brian James. I just but I tried to put
Speaker 4: a positive spin on this disaster disaster several days, and
Speaker 4: looks like it's going to drop again today.
Speaker 1: I guess.
Speaker 4: Futures when I got up this morning were about three
Speaker 4: and a half four percent down, but they backed off
Speaker 4: a little bit to about two percent. But we're dealing
Speaker 4: with do we call this a bear market? I mean,
Speaker 4: at what point is there a declaration like, hey, we're
Speaker 4: in a bear market. I mean, there's a thing called
Speaker 4: a correction, and we've been hearing about that coming for
Speaker 4: a long time. Is this perhaps related to a market
Speaker 4: correction that was expected? Is this the beginning of the
Speaker 4: recession that you joked about last week, Brian, that's been
Speaker 4: coming now what for three and a half four years?
Speaker 4: Oh my god. Recessions right around the corner. Recessions right
Speaker 4: around the corner. So put this in perspective and maybe
Speaker 4: try to spend this positively, because as you know, and
Speaker 4: I know, and you and I both lived through a
Speaker 4: lot of these market downward trajectories. They always end up
Speaker 4: popping back up and ended up end up making more
Speaker 4: money over the long haul.
Speaker 1: So it's the story.
Speaker 11: Yeah, they absolutely so, Yeah, we're we in a bear market. Yeah,
Speaker 11: it's looking that way. Depends on your definition of bear market.
Speaker 11: But let's just say we're not in a good one.
Speaker 11: So still, as you hinted that though stocks are cyclical,
Speaker 11: we've had twelve bull markets and twelve bear markets since
Speaker 11: nineteen forty nine, and that might think that might make
Speaker 11: you go, well, we got a one out of two chance, right.
Speaker 1: It's either good or it's bad.
Speaker 11: The difference is that bull markets are much longer and
Speaker 11: they rise much further than bear markets, so bear markets
Speaker 11: are relatively short. The average length of a bear market
Speaker 11: is one point one year. At one point one years,
Speaker 11: and it averages the a thirty five percent decline, so
Speaker 11: that that's basically on average, we take that hit and
Speaker 11: we lose about a third and then we move on.
Speaker 11: A bull market, on the other hand, last five years
Speaker 11: and the average return over that time period cumulatively is
Speaker 11: two hundred and seventy percent, so we grow a lot further.
Speaker 11: We go think of the long term chart of a market.
Speaker 11: They go up, not down, and a lot of people
Speaker 11: get panicked. We are at when we're at a market peak,
Speaker 11: which we were in mid February. The market was at
Speaker 11: an all time high. As recently as mid February, news
Speaker 11: came out, headlines came out the market didn't like, and
Speaker 11: it's taken back some of that value. But people get
Speaker 11: worried when they hear we're at an all time high. Well,
Speaker 11: the next step is down, right, it has to be down.
Speaker 11: We're at an all time high. The market is usually
Speaker 11: at an all time high. That's what it does. It
Speaker 11: goes up, not down. Therefore, we're almost always at a
Speaker 11: long time high. So the thing to share about this
Speaker 11: And I actually just got an email a little bit
Speaker 11: from a little bit ago from a client saying, am
Speaker 11: I looking at this right? Am I only down seven percent?
Speaker 11: When I know the market's down fifteen or twenty percent
Speaker 11: based on whatever index you're looking at? And answers, yeah,
Speaker 11: all work is good at what we do. But this
Speaker 11: is the whole point of diversification for this gentleman. He's
Speaker 11: got a diversified portfolio. He's also got international stocks he's
Speaker 11: got fixed income in there. These are two things that
Speaker 11: nobody has cared about for a couple of decades, but
Speaker 11: those are propping up the market. If you have a
Speaker 11: diversified portfolio, then that's kind of holding you up. You
Speaker 11: might actually be making money in some of those positions,
Speaker 11: believe it or not. And again, that is the point
Speaker 11: of a diversified portfolio. That's why we don't go all
Speaker 11: in on the S and P five hundred just because
Speaker 11: it seems like you don't need to own anything else.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you've made that point many times, and it's
Speaker 4: just it is sound, sound advice, and it's one of
Speaker 4: the reasons why you have a financial planner. Now, in
Speaker 4: terms of the FED and interest rates, what impact might
Speaker 4: this downward trending market have on that?
Speaker 11: Yeah, So these tariffs are going to act like a
Speaker 11: pretty good tax increase on imported goods. So that's going
Speaker 11: to slow the economy, there's no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: The debate is what will the degree be.
Speaker 11: So what we're thinking right now, and this kind of
Speaker 11: echoes a lot of what you hear from other economists.
Speaker 11: If all these announced of stick, GDP growth is going
Speaker 11: to be cut by a couple percentage points over the
Speaker 11: next year or two, so that that will take us
Speaker 11: from what we did. We did have a modest growth
Speaker 11: outlook and could push it toward recession. Not going to
Speaker 11: be overnight recessions never are. We're not going to wake
Speaker 11: up one day and say that, hey, we just started
Speaker 11: a recession this morning. It's going to be Yeah, the
Speaker 11: recession started a few months ago. If this happens, and
Speaker 11: the same way on the way out as we exit
Speaker 11: a recession. And we've been through this before, don't forget
Speaker 11: we had a recession. We had a COVID related recession
Speaker 11: that was over and done with pretty quickly. But it
Speaker 11: won't be announced that. Everybody back in the pool, you
Speaker 11: know this morning, everything's wonderful, It'll be okay. A couple
Speaker 11: months ago things turned positive and we've confirmed that the
Speaker 11: numbers are and we're now out of a recessionary environment.
Speaker 1: This one is self inflicted.
Speaker 11: We chose to put in the catalysts that are causing it.
Speaker 11: That is, I sort of compare that to COVID a
Speaker 11: little bit, because COVID had nothing to do with the
Speaker 11: overall economy and how it was progressing on its own.
Speaker 11: It was something that came out of left field, of course,
Speaker 11: and it was how we reacted to it. Underneath it
Speaker 11: all the economy before that was acting. Okay, it was
Speaker 11: in pretty good shape. That's the same situation we have
Speaker 11: right now. We chose to put these tarifs in place,
Speaker 11: countries chose to react the way they have, and the
Speaker 11: market is reacting accordingly versus a two thousand and eight
Speaker 11: where the underlying structures were at risk.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: Well, and like you said, the market would have continued
Speaker 4: and percolated along fine until we decided to shut everything
Speaker 4: down and lock everything down and stop the economy from
Speaker 4: moving forward.
Speaker 11: Correct. We pushed a button. This is not just the
Speaker 11: weather turning bad. We pushed a button to make it happen.
Speaker 11: All right, Well, don't panic, is what you're saying. The
Speaker 11: financial planner in here, which is more of a counselor,
Speaker 11: it's talking people off the ledge and just let it
Speaker 11: ride out. We too will come out the other side
Speaker 11: at some juncture. Just got to have to wait and
Speaker 11: see approach to it. So it is, well, learn your history.
Speaker 11: We've been through these things before. We'll go through them again.
Speaker 11: Go back in time and see what the market has
Speaker 11: done there. Have been five years that are attention getters
Speaker 11: where we're down more than that's including your great depression
Speaker 11: the seventies, the tech bubble bursting nine to eleven, two
Speaker 11: thousand and eight, and so forth. Each and every one
Speaker 11: of those five years, Brian Thomas, was followed by a
Speaker 11: year that had a huge upswing.
Speaker 1: The pendulum swings back.
Speaker 4: And forth, it does, Brian James, appreciate your sound advice
Speaker 4: and little dose of optimism there toward the end, with
Speaker 4: obviously a concern for expressed by a lot of people
Speaker 4: where the markets are going. Brian, we'll talk again next month.
Speaker 4: I hope you have a wonderful week and good luck
Speaker 4: talking people off the ledge this week.
Speaker 1: All right, I appreciate you have good week day drive.

Speaker 1: Other topics with Todd Sledge.
Speaker 4: In the meantime, we got three river gauges that the
Speaker 4: well the weather folks are watching. We're all kind of
Speaker 4: keeping their eyes on the Ohio River. They say is
Speaker 4: going to crest today at sixty point five three point
Speaker 4: five feet, nowhere close at a record levels. Going to
Speaker 4: learn a lot of impacts your communities along the river.
Speaker 4: Levels also remain steady or at least in modern flood
Speaker 4: stage for the next several days. Turning over to the Kentucky
Speaker 4: River at Lockport, Kentucky. Forecast is to crest tomorrow at
Speaker 4: fifty six feet, which apparently is near the all time
Speaker 4: record at fifty six point nine feet that was set
Speaker 4: back in January of nineteen thirty seven. Then you go
Speaker 4: over to the Licking River in Falmouth, Kentucky, cities of
Speaker 4: a Butler and Falmouth. I've been ordered to a mandatory evacuations
Speaker 4: due to flooding. I presume that's still the case. This
Speaker 4: is according to reporting really late yesterday afternoon by WXIX
Speaker 4: at the Licking River at Falmouth is exposed to crest
Speaker 4: well at nine pm yesterday height thirty eight point six,
Speaker 4: so several roads have been closed. My friend Eric sent
Speaker 4: me a text this morning saying Route fifty was closed.
Speaker 4: So please, as Christopher Smithan said, please be careful if
Speaker 4: you're in your car crossing some flooded roads. You gotta
Speaker 4: be really careful about that. See here speaking of being
Speaker 4: careful with A man rescued from floodwaters happened Sunday afternoon
Speaker 4: at the former location of Coney Island since I police
Speaker 4: said a man somehow got into the area where Cony
Speaker 4: used to be, currently flooded because of the Ohio River levels.
Speaker 4: Man got roughly thirty feet into the now defunct park
Speaker 4: before well needing to be rescued. Local news WCPO saw
Speaker 4: a cruise bringing the man back to dry land on
Speaker 4: our raft. They also reported an suv was seen almost
Speaker 4: fully submerged in the water near Coney Island's front gates.
Speaker 4: Early on Sunday, fire crews in downtown Cincinnati had a
Speaker 4: rescue a woman who had taken shelter at the stage
Speaker 4: in Sawyer Port. Sawyer points similar to the rescue your
Speaker 4: Coney cruise, put a life vest on the woman and
Speaker 4: then inflated a raft a retriever from the stage. So
Speaker 4: obviously many neighborhoods have been impacted by this. Ready roads
Speaker 4: have been closed, and we can only hope and pray
Speaker 4: that things dry out quickly. And finally you got three
Speaker 4: men from Kentucky had been arrested in charge of connections
Speaker 4: with the shooting of a man having a Brown County
Speaker 4: corner of the sheriffs announcement. This past week, deputies responded
Speaker 4: to two fifty seven Hickory Street in Aberdeen almost seven
Speaker 4: o'clock in the morning after receiving a call about a
Speaker 4: man stating that he had been shot. High State Highway
Speaker 4: with Patrol troopers and Brown County deputies both arrived at
Speaker 4: the scene. They found fifty one year old Kelly Applegate
Speaker 4: shot in the chest corner of the Sheriff's office. The
Speaker 4: suspect had fired multiple rounds at Applegate and he was
Speaker 4: then taken to the hospital. Wednesday, April second, Brown County Deputies,
Speaker 4: with help from Mason County Sheriff's Office in the Mayswell
Speaker 4: Police Department, arrested fifty six year old Michael Fight and
Speaker 4: forty seven year old Jerry Cooper, both from Dover in
Speaker 4: connection with the shooting. Next day, deputies with help from
Speaker 4: some other agencies, arrested sixty ten year old George Kendall
Speaker 4: from Maysville on what they call additional charges. All three
Speaker 4: suspects charged with attempted murder and conspiracy to commit attempted murder,
Speaker 4: which our first degree felon. He's being held with the
Speaker 4: Mason County Detention Center Center and awaiting extradition to Brown County.
Speaker 1: Todd Sledge coming up next.
Speaker 4: Stick around for that information from my veteran friends and
Speaker 4: a listening audience, and God bless each and every one
Speaker 4: of you.
Speaker 1: I'll be right back.
Speaker 11: This is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio Station.
Speaker 4: Hey, thirty eight fifty five carric Detalk station. If you're
Speaker 4: having a decent Monday. Ryan Thomas always pleased to see,
Speaker 4: especially in studio, Todd Sledge and the since NAVA taking
Speaker 4: great care of our veterans each and every day. They
Speaker 4: are appreciate all of the cincinnt VA does for my
Speaker 4: veteran friends and the listening audience. And you know me,
Speaker 4: I love to help out veterans and veterans causes, and
Speaker 4: I know Todd Sledge does too. Todd, welcome back to
Speaker 4: the Morning Show. Thanks for making the trip in. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's great to see in person for a change instead
Speaker 4: of over the phone.
Speaker 1: Yeah I am.
Speaker 4: I always mention that because you know, it's so much
Speaker 4: easier to have a conversation with somebody when you're staring
Speaker 4: at the face in the face Yeah right, jeez, Louise.
Speaker 4: So what is going on at the VA we need
Speaker 4: to talk about today? Well, there's a lot going on, Brian,
Speaker 4: you know a lot of different things. Today I wanted
Speaker 4: to focus on all the different tracking and communication mechanisms
Speaker 4: that veterans should be plugged into to see all the
Speaker 4: information that we have going on and how they can
Speaker 4: see what's happening with with their VA healthcare system. But
Speaker 4: before we do that, I have a I have something
Speaker 4: I like to do personally with you. I have a
Speaker 4: challenge coin. Oh yeah, from the VA.
Speaker 8: And I just wanted to recognize on behalf of all
Speaker 8: of our veterans and all of our folks there that
Speaker 8: you're outstanding dedication and service and recognition my friends.
Speaker 1: So my brother, thank you very much for that. So
Speaker 1: we couldn't do it without you.
Speaker 4: Oh, this is a true, true honor I have over
Speaker 4: the years, you know, because you know me, I love
Speaker 4: helping out veterans of veterans' causes, so I have accumulated
Speaker 4: quite a few of these over there.
Speaker 1: I knew you didn't need an explanation on one.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, I tell you how to shake your hand
Speaker 4: and grab a hold of it. So the only problem
Speaker 4: is is the challenge component of it by a couple
Speaker 4: of beers over the years, you know what I mean. Anyhow,
Speaker 4: thank you. I've cherished this. Thank you for what you do.
Speaker 8: I mean, the relationship we've had all these years and
Speaker 8: with your listeners, it's been fantastic.
Speaker 4: Well it's the least I can do. Again, I always
Speaker 4: like to point it I never enlisted, and I have
Speaker 4: so much respect for the men and women who actually
Speaker 4: went and went down that road, not knowing what their
Speaker 4: future head in store for them. That's a that's just
Speaker 4: an amazing accomplished an amazing thing to do. And you
Speaker 4: guys are all wonderful people, So thank you very much
Speaker 4: for so much pleasure. And I just something you point
Speaker 4: out all the time. I want to make sure I
Speaker 4: get it in now before or we move on to
Speaker 4: the topics that we have to talk about today. If
Speaker 4: you get care from the VA, and I'm pretty confident
Speaker 4: you're gonna get really good care. But someone had complained
Speaker 4: to me a couple of weeks ago about something and
Speaker 4: I said to him, I go, did you say something
Speaker 4: to the folks that have since any VA about it?
Speaker 4: Did you put you know, I don't know if there's
Speaker 4: a form to fill out, but I said, they're really
Speaker 4: good at, you know, addressing concerns because they want to
Speaker 4: make the process as smooth and painless and as effective
Speaker 4: as efficient as possible. So don't you know, speak your mind.
Speaker 4: You don't have to be a jerk about it, but
Speaker 4: be sure and go ahead and let them know about
Speaker 4: your concerns.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I say it all the time.
Speaker 8: We have a full service patient advocate office, you know,
Speaker 8: I call it our concierge office. You know, if you've
Speaker 8: got to complaint, you got a concern, or you just
Speaker 8: don't understand something, something doesn't make sense. These advocates are
Speaker 8: there to be your your personal liaison between that department
Speaker 8: or that service to help resolve the problem. It goes
Speaker 8: directly to that administrator, who then works with that staff.
Speaker 8: And I kind of take something from from what my
Speaker 8: grandfather told me many many years ago. He said, Todd,
Speaker 8: if you have a problem, it's like having a rock
Speaker 8: in your shoe. If you don't take the rock out
Speaker 8: of the shoe and keep walking on it, you can't
Speaker 8: say anything because it's your fault for not taking the
Speaker 8: rock out of the.
Speaker 4: Shoe exact exactly. And to the extent you have a
Speaker 4: problem or a complaint, it's possible that one of your
Speaker 4: fellow veterans does too and they haven't set any so,
Speaker 4: so bring it to their intention and don't don't hesitate
Speaker 4: to do so.
Speaker 10: So.
Speaker 4: In terms of tracking, you know, there's a lot of
Speaker 4: online stuff, there's a lot of apps out in the world.
Speaker 4: I suppose one of the larger challenges is you've got
Speaker 4: a lot of senior veterans, and quite often they are
Speaker 4: and this is no insult to them, they're technologically challenged
Speaker 4: and they need a little bit of help. You know,
Speaker 4: navigating how the house and the whys and the warforce.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so what we you know, we use a lot
Speaker 8: of different things like everybody else. Our Facebook page is
Speaker 8: very robust, and I really encourage people to be plugged
Speaker 8: into that or to make sure that caregiver or that
Speaker 8: spouse or someone who's helping you know, grandpa or grandma
Speaker 8: or aunt and uncle follow what's going on, because we
Speaker 8: use that a lot as not national information on what
Speaker 8: we have going on locally. There's also something on our
Speaker 8: website called gov Delivery where you actually can subscribe to
Speaker 8: receive information we pushed directly out, okay from that mechic
Speaker 8: newsletter kind of thing. Yeah, it's like a kind of
Speaker 8: like an online newsletter like email mechanism and lets you know, like, hey,
Speaker 8: here's this announcement. Whether it's about the parking issues that
Speaker 8: you know keep going on at the hospital, or medication recalls,
Speaker 8: different changes with clinics.
Speaker 1: There's the variety of things.
Speaker 8: So you know, we have, like everybody else, our websites
Speaker 8: are our Facebook pages in this gov Delivery and these
Speaker 8: are all three things you definitely want to be tracked into,
Speaker 8: and some other things we'll talk about in a few minutes.
Speaker 1: Yo, okay.
Speaker 4: And you know, in addition to the assistance you can
Speaker 4: get directly at this in same VA. I got to
Speaker 4: put a shout out to all the Veteran Services commissions

Speaker 8: in a few minutes about our podcast that we got
Speaker 8: going on.
Speaker 4: Podcast. Yeah, well, let's just dive on into that right now.
Speaker 4: You're the one that brought it up. You're doing a podcast.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we started a podcast about two months ago and
Speaker 8: thanks to my colleague Chris Klug, who's on with me,
Speaker 8: he came up. He said his wife had a big
Speaker 8: influence on the name. But the podcast is called Beyond
Speaker 8: the Boots and I.
Speaker 1: Love that name. Oh that's great. I love the name. Yeah.
Speaker 8: It's on Spotify, it's on Apple Go check it out.
Speaker 8: It's about a nineteen twenty minute podcast where we talk
Speaker 8: very candidly about the VA healthcare benefits. The veterans can
Speaker 8: get why they should use VA. We've had some veterans
Speaker 8: on there. Is want to talk about their their stories
Speaker 8: and journeys, and so that's a great mechanism be plugged
Speaker 8: into anytime.
Speaker 1: Well, and signing up for.
Speaker 4: Your VA benefits is critically important because it is healthcare.
Speaker 4: You know, you can have your own medical insurance or
Speaker 4: your employer, but this, you know, these are benefits. As
Speaker 4: always like to point out that you earned as a
Speaker 4: consequence of your service. And you know what you want it.
Speaker 4: You want to get hearing age, you need glasses. There's
Speaker 4: a lot of things that you'll provide that insurance companies
Speaker 4: just aren't going to have a part of.
Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly, you know, hearing aids, eyeglasses, mental health care, prosthetics,
Speaker 8: there's some of those big, those big elements that do
Speaker 8: cost a private in the private sector a lot of
Speaker 8: bit of money to do. Yeah, and uh, you know,
Speaker 8: I run across veterans all the time who are spending
Speaker 8: thousands and thousands of dollars on these hearing aids and
Speaker 8: we can give you the same once, you know, for free.
Speaker 1: Uh and uh, you know, come and get them. I
Speaker 1: mean it's just amazing to me.
Speaker 4: All right, Save forty five will bring Todd Sledge back
Speaker 4: to talking about some other elements of the cincinne Via
Speaker 4: healthcare system and how they benefit you. Don't go away, be.
Speaker 1: Right back fifty five KRC.

Speaker 4: eight fifty five care see de talk station. Happy Monday
Speaker 4: to you, Todd Sledge, since a VA in studio. God
Speaker 4: bless you, Todd Sledge. I truly truly appreciate the gesture
Speaker 4: getting that challenge coin from the sinsin VA. That means
Speaker 4: a world to me. And uh and one more time,
Speaker 4: because you mentioned the podcast. You mentioned the name of
Speaker 4: the podcast, but off air you said, I mean it
Speaker 4: took off right away. You got great numbers. There's a
Speaker 4: lot of veterans you're listening to it. So I just
Speaker 4: wanted to emphasize that because if a veteran's out there,
Speaker 4: I didn't even know there's a podcast, we'll apparently join
Speaker 4: in the fun.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 8: It's marketed and stated on our Facebook page as well
Speaker 8: as our website.
Speaker 1: Called Beyond the Boots.
Speaker 8: You can find it if you know, if you're on Spotify, Apple,
Speaker 8: different YouTube as well. And it just took off as
Speaker 8: soon as we started doing it, and a lot of
Speaker 8: good feedback from veterans. They like the shortness, the candidness
Speaker 8: of it. And I'm very fortunate to have my colleague
Speaker 8: Chris from my office, who is a veteran combat veteran
Speaker 8: as well, proude of a perspective that you know that
Speaker 8: I can't from from non military service, but from the
Speaker 8: VA side.
Speaker 1: It's a good combination. That's great. I'm glad you're doing
Speaker 1: that now. I understand you.
Speaker 4: Also, the since AVA hosts virtual town hall meetings, how
Speaker 4: often is this done and what kind of topics you
Speaker 4: talk about?
Speaker 8: Yeah, So what we do is the virtual platform allows
Speaker 8: us that we have to call out to target it veterans.
Speaker 8: And the amount that we're able to do that is
Speaker 8: about we can reach twenty thousand veterans through this telecommunication
Speaker 8: approach that we have, So we might, for example, and
Speaker 8: we do it quarterly, so it's every three months. We
Speaker 8: might target a population that says, okay, who's been newly
Speaker 8: enrolled within the last three years to the Cincinnativa and
Speaker 8: we can specifically reach out to that group. They get
Speaker 8: a robo call that tells them that this town hall
Speaker 8: is going to happen the day before. Then they get
Speaker 8: another call about two minutes before the actual town hall happens.
Speaker 8: Then they're brought on into you know, like a teleconferencing
Speaker 8: system where my boss, the director, other subject matter experts
Speaker 8: are their. Plus, there are screeners on the back end
Speaker 8: that allows veterans to ask questions that we can scroll
Speaker 8: and go through and see, you know, if there's a
Speaker 8: general question we can we can take live to the
Speaker 8: entire group. We do that, but we don't take personal
Speaker 8: health information, and we average out of that twenty thousand,
Speaker 8: we average over about three thousand that state on for
Speaker 8: that twenty five minute town hall.
Speaker 1: Oh that's great. He's been an amazing reach and good feedback.
Speaker 8: And those that have questions that we don't get to
Speaker 8: our patient advocate office, who I mentioned earlier, they follow
Speaker 8: up with these folks. If it's about I couldn't get
Speaker 8: a dermatology appointment, or I'm lost about what happens with this,
Speaker 8: or my claim I'm having trouble getting a response on
Speaker 8: my claim. We follow up with those approaches and make
Speaker 8: sure everybody gets an answer back.
Speaker 4: Oh that's wonderful. I'm glad to hear that's been so
Speaker 4: successful as well. Now, you mentioned that one of the
Speaker 4: great things you do provide in because veterans are sort
Speaker 4: of cut from a different chunk of fabric as the
Speaker 4: rest of the society did not serve in terms of
Speaker 4: mental health benefits. I know, most insurance plans, at least
Speaker 4: as i've come to understand, have a very limited like
Speaker 4: you get ten yep, and that's it. Is there any
Speaker 4: limitation on mental health services at the VA for the veterans?
Speaker 1: Yeah, there is not.
Speaker 8: Excuse me, there is not any limitation on the mental
Speaker 8: health services. I mean, whether it's a bounce back and
Speaker 8: forth between residential impatient outpatient one on one medications groups,
Speaker 8: whatever you might need, there's no cap on. You know, Hey,
Speaker 8: you've gone through this program twice and you can't do
Speaker 8: it any further sometimes, you know, given the challenges with
Speaker 8: what our veterans deal with, they may need to go
Speaker 8: through some of our processes multiple times and that's okay,
Speaker 8: and it's no detriment or negativity to them. This what
Speaker 8: have we got to do to get you where you
Speaker 8: need to get to exactly.
Speaker 4: You know, at least you're not doing Freudian therapy that
Speaker 4: takes like ten years on the couch and talking about
Speaker 4: your childhood and right, yeah, absolutely absolutely. Now is there
Speaker 4: any telehealth through that since AVA.
Speaker 8: Yeah, there is. We do all kinds of telehealth. We
Speaker 8: do telehealth mental health as well. Oh that's great, Yeah,
Speaker 8: mental health, dermatology, nutrition and food service, weight loss management,
Speaker 8: whole health. So the veterans have a whole gamut of
Speaker 8: especially a lot of our younger veterans love it where
Speaker 8: they're like, you know, hey, I can go out to
Speaker 8: my car or a private area at lunch or on
Speaker 8: a break and I can see my therapist, or I
Speaker 8: can see my doc, or I can see who I
Speaker 8: need to to get that exposer. She you don't have
Speaker 8: to come to the VA and do that. We have
Speaker 8: a lot of veterans that like to Brian. They like
Speaker 8: to come down there and they like to get the
Speaker 8: hospitality that goes on and the camaraderie.
Speaker 1: But we do offer a lot of telehealth. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Camaraderie is a critical thing for the veterans especially, I
Speaker 4: think as I've come to learn from from some some
Speaker 4: other organizations Patriots Landing for example, in northern Kentucky. Yeah,
Speaker 4: those guys, you know, need each other and they really
Speaker 4: benefit from being together. Absolutely, So I understand that component well.
Speaker 4: But I also understand the ease and convenience of telehealth
Speaker 4: and the idea that you can just sort of leave
Speaker 4: the room and sit in your car with a zoom
Speaker 4: screen and you know, talk with your therapist. You mentioned
Speaker 4: dermatology telehealth, like you just show a picture of your
Speaker 4: own pretty much arm with the with the whatever is
Speaker 4: going on there? Can you tell me what this is?
Speaker 12: Doctor?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Pretty much.
Speaker 8: You know some things that they can do, you know,
Speaker 8: through a screen without having to do some type of
Speaker 8: physical exam that you know, usually that's usually a follow up.
Speaker 8: You know, somebody came in saw a specialist and you know,
Speaker 8: it's follow up to how things are going. So that way,
Speaker 8: you know, I'm inconvenience of that person. That veterans time
Speaker 8: to be able to get seen in a timely manner
Speaker 8: really does help with telehealth.
Speaker 4: All right, So it's easy to get your VA benefits
Speaker 4: d D two fourteen discharge papers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, d well, it's it's helpful.
Speaker 8: You know, that validates everything It's not a necessity because
Speaker 8: we do have systems in place where we can check,
Speaker 8: you know, as the different records and different things that
Speaker 8: go on and validate stuff the way things are integrated.
Speaker 1: But it is helpful to have.
Speaker 8: It makes the eligibility process go go quick and as
Speaker 8: as you help me many times as well as I do,
Speaker 8: it's it's an easy call. Five one, three, four seven, five, six,
Speaker 8: four nine nine is that eligibility number. And our eligibility
Speaker 8: specialists are there to walk you through the process, help
Speaker 8: you understand what we need to do.
Speaker 4: Five one, three, four seven, five, six, four nine nine.
Speaker 4: You got the benefits, take a hold of them and
Speaker 4: enjoy all the the wonderful services the Cincinnati is VA
Speaker 4: is offering, and it just keeps getting better.
Speaker 1: It's usome.
Speaker 4: You and I have been talking for years and you
Speaker 4: have you have accomplish so many goals, and you have
Speaker 4: made things so much better for the American veteran over
Speaker 4: the years. You're always in a process of trying to
Speaker 4: make things better, and I truly appreciate it. On behalf
Speaker 4: of my veteran listeners, Well, thank you. Buy we couldn't
Speaker 4: do it without you. It's a good partnership. It's just
Speaker 4: wonderful being a position to be able to do this.
