Speaker 2: Joe Strekker for the SoundBite and for lining up Christopher
Speaker 2: Smithman every Monday at seven twenty eight, the former vice
Speaker 2: mayor of the city, since he joins us to vent
Speaker 2: his spleen. The smither vent is what we call it
Speaker 2: on the heels of my father doing it for a
Speaker 2: long long time, and I know Christopher always says he's
Speaker 2: honored to sort of step in the shoes and my
Speaker 2: dad and giving them. Yesterday was Father's Day, and thank
Speaker 2: you to my family for a wonderful, wonderful Father's Day.
Speaker 2: Was enjoyable, spending time with my children and my wife
Speaker 2: Peach Cobbler.
Speaker 1: Oh man, it was so good. But just I missed
Speaker 1: my dad. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I posted a picture on Facebook my dad, picture of
Speaker 2: my dad and me. And of course Father's Day takes
Speaker 2: on a sort of a different I don't know, tone
Speaker 2: or something like that, looking for the right word when
Speaker 2: you lose your father. So but Dad, up there, I
Speaker 2: was thinking about you.
Speaker 1: A lot yesterday.
Speaker 2: So anyhow, I hope you celebrated Father's Day and in
Speaker 2: a good way, and that for all the fathers out
Speaker 2: there actually take the time and effort and set a
Speaker 2: good example for their children. God bless each and every
Speaker 2: one of you, because certainly that was my father. Today Monday, Monday,
Speaker 2: Brian James comes up at eight oh five talk Futures,
Speaker 2: talking about price of oil. The Iran Israel bombings are
Speaker 2: really impacting the futures in oil, fed interest rate announcement
Speaker 2: and a record number of people claim social security shocking
Speaker 2: no one who understands that all the baby boomers are
Speaker 2: retiring and going on so's security. And we'll hear from
Speaker 2: the since Adiva today Case cares at eight forty some
Speaker 2: updates from the VA and some important information from my
Speaker 2: veteran friends out there. God bless you, timber one of
Speaker 2: you two five and three seven nine fifty five hundred,
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty two three talk hit pound five
Speaker 2: point fifty if you have an AT and T phone
Speaker 2: anyway you the the shooting of these two Minnesota lawmakers.
Speaker 2: Of course, there's a million things going on in the world,
Speaker 2: most notably uh the conflict between Israel and Iran got
Speaker 2: a lot of information on that to pass along this morning.
Speaker 2: But this vance balter guy charged with murdering state Representative
Speaker 2: Melissa Hortman and her husband and for shooting Senator John
Speaker 2: Hoffman and his wife. He apparently had a manifesto. We
Speaker 2: haven't seen that yet, didn't release it. Apparently had a
Speaker 2: whole long list of other people who are on his
Speaker 2: hit list. Batcrap and sane. I think we can all
Speaker 2: agree on that.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 2: He was arrested yesterday evening, ending a two day man hunt.
Speaker 2: They received a tip about a possible sighting of this
Speaker 2: almost FCC non compliant utterance from me near a wooded
Speaker 2: area of a place called Sibley County, sixty miles southwest
Speaker 2: of Minneapolis. Officers closed in and he reportedly followed commands,
Speaker 2: crawling toward them, apparently armed too, but he gave up.
Speaker 2: Police Chief Mark Burley of the Brooklyn Park Police just
Speaker 2: down at the scene where he was taken it to custody.
Speaker 2: There were twenty different SWAT teams over an extremely large
Speaker 2: area hunting this individual down. So charged with murder, of
Speaker 2: course they were if she was an elected official. And
Speaker 2: this is what's got me a lot of people all
Speaker 2: wigged out. I guess I have to ask, are you
Speaker 2: wigged out? I know Sarah herringers wigged out given that
Speaker 2: a guy who should have been arrested kicked in the
Speaker 2: door and murdered her husband. But let's pivot over to Congress.
Speaker 2: I saw this axious article summarizing the concerns expressed by
Speaker 2: our elected officials on a congressional level. Long simmering fight
Speaker 2: over congressional security roared back to the surface this weekend
Speaker 2: following a pair of shootings against Minnesota state legislators at
Speaker 2: their homes that left two dad and two others hospitalized.
Speaker 2: The shootings have deeply unnerved members of Congress, who feel
Speaker 2: that any one of them could be the subject of
Speaker 2: an unanticipated attack, particularly at home, in their districts and
Speaker 2: while in transit. Now, congressional leaders don't enjoy personal security. Joe,
Speaker 2: do you have personal security at your home? You have
Speaker 2: your own team of agents that are there to protect
Speaker 2: you against kick ins and things like that.
Speaker 1: I know the answers. No do I.
Speaker 2: Neither is any member of my listening audience unless they
Speaker 2: have paid for that for themselves. Apparently, if you're the
Speaker 2: CEO of a medical insurance company. You can get your
Speaker 2: head blown off the middle of the street. A lot
Speaker 2: of people are gonna run around and praise and celebrate
Speaker 2: the person who murdered you.
Speaker 1: Hmm.
Speaker 2: Rank and file members of Congress renewing a push for
Speaker 2: greater security, arguing for their own details, greater safety measures
Speaker 2: at their homes and at airports, and more stringent measures
Speaker 2: to hide their sensitive details. Details that you can't hide.
Speaker 2: Anybody can know where you live. Just search on the
Speaker 2: auditor's website. That's kind of weird, isn't it. And it's
Speaker 2: a public record. We have public records in this country.
Speaker 2: Used to be in the old days before the Internet,
Speaker 2: you had to go down of the Cameron County Courthouse,
Speaker 2: but you could ask for the information and give it
Speaker 2: that it would be given to you because it's considered
Speaker 2: public information. Now, just in an elected capacity, you're going
Speaker 2: to get greater security than every other American who struggles
Speaker 2: with perhaps security. How's your neighborhood in terms of safety.
Speaker 2: I know there's many residents of the City of Cincinnati
Speaker 2: certain neighborhoods with a massive increase in crime. Sarah Henderger
Speaker 2: will tell you all about it, or Herringer other I
Speaker 2: got a new statement from her, just issued a couple
Speaker 2: of days ago over the weekend, talking exactly about that.
Speaker 2: Apparently we've been lied to in terms of statistics on
Speaker 2: crime in downtown Cincinnati. Something tells me the mayor and
Speaker 2: city council is interested in well concerns over marketing. You
Speaker 2: don't want to let the world know the city of
Speaker 2: Cincinnati he's got higher crime. Oh my god, we won't
Speaker 2: be able to get more urban hipsters and move down
Speaker 2: into the city of Cincinnati. We won't be able to
Speaker 2: have this walking community that we all law think about
Speaker 2: and want well, at least from their perspective. Axios right,
Speaker 2: and the shooting sent shockwaves through Capitol Hill, which Center
Speaker 2: majority leader Chuck Schumer said he's asking for increase in
Speaker 2: security for Senators Amy Kloba Sharp Minnesota and Tina Smith Minnesota.
Speaker 2: She had this crazy guy in Minnesota killing two Minnesota lawmakers.
Speaker 2: So Chuckie Schumer is asking for increased security for Minnesota
Speaker 2: senators as if that's the only state where crime you
Speaker 2: might be a concern for elected officials. Hakeem Jefferies, House
Speaker 2: Minority Leader New York said he asked for security officials
Speaker 2: to ensure the safety of our Minnesota delegation and the
Speaker 2: operative word in the sentence members of Congress across the country.
Speaker 2: Representative Bernie Benny Thompson Mississippi, I call on the Capitol
Speaker 2: Police to assist in providing real solution for increased security
Speaker 2: for members. He apparently had a security detail of his
Speaker 2: own back in twenty twenty two as chairman of the
Speaker 2: January sixth Committee. So you get security depending on the
Speaker 2: type of committee that you're chair of.
Speaker 1: He said.
Speaker 2: He expects full cooperation and resources from the Republican leadership.
Speaker 2: We just, according to Representative Jared Moskwitz from Florida Democrat,
Speaker 2: speaking of axios, we're just as exposed as Hartman was.
Speaker 2: We have no more security than she does. You know,
Speaker 2: Capitol Police is not equipped for four hundred and thirty
Speaker 2: five members to keep them safe.
Speaker 1: He said. It's not their fault.
Speaker 2: Things have changed, and as Congress becomes less functional in general,
Speaker 2: we can't even function to keep ourselves safe. That's a
Speaker 2: quote what's changed, and I think we all might fully
Speaker 2: appreciate what's changed. I mean, I always go back to
Speaker 2: social media. You can't even call it discourse, can you?
Speaker 2: The elevated level of anger the No Kings rally over
Speaker 2: the weekend, which largely peaceful, just raging against the machine.
Speaker 2: And is it now out of the system. The folks
Speaker 2: that showed up with the No Kings rally, I mean,
Speaker 2: if they feel like they have made a point or
Speaker 2: I mean it was I guess overall rather well attended
Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands of people across the entire country, which
Speaker 2: is made up of three hundred and fifty million people.
Speaker 2: So I would like to point out you can get
Speaker 2: a slice of the population to show up at literally
Speaker 2: anything if you well, we have a well funded campaign
Speaker 2: to get the message out. A lot of folks angry
Speaker 2: out there. But are we going to have now professional
Speaker 2: details of security for each and every member of Congress?
Speaker 2: Are we going to pay for that as American taxpayers?
Speaker 2: And they're supposed to represent us? So I pivot over
Speaker 2: to Sarah Harringer, who obviously could have used her own
Speaker 2: security detail at her home and her husband got stabbed
Speaker 2: to death. She said independent data analysts that she's working
Speaker 2: with well showing what's real, pulling data directly from the
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Police Department records, calling the data staggering referring to
Speaker 2: members of since a city council and the mayor. They
Speaker 2: feel safe enough of their jobs, their beds, and their
Speaker 2: pr teams to lie to you because the optics matter
Speaker 2: more than outcomes. Let's talk about what the police union
Speaker 2: told me, Sarah Harringer departments on hundred eighty officers. Short
Speaker 2: city failed to hire a new police from eight twenty
Speaker 2: eight to twenty fourteen, and we're never and have never recovered.
Speaker 2: Leadership hasn't been able to recruit enough to keep up
Speaker 2: with retirement. We don't even have a full time swat
Speaker 2: team because someone's afraid it might look too militant. Officers
Speaker 2: often don't know when violent offenders are released. She knows
Speaker 2: first first hand on that one, doesn't She that communication
Speaker 2: used to exist. It doesn't now. Morale is low, support
Speaker 2: is lower, and politics are getting people killed, she says.
Speaker 1: Let me remind you.
Speaker 2: City council's funded public safety initiatives for years was zero accountability,
Speaker 2: no money spent, or rather money spent with no follow through,
Speaker 2: no proof of outcomes, just headlines and ribbon cuttings while
Speaker 2: the city bleeds out. My husband was one of them.
Speaker 2: And then she produces the statistics would show how bad
Speaker 2: crime actually is in the city based upon the Cincinnai
Speaker 2: Police Department records. Despite what you've been told, thirteen thousand
Speaker 2: victims in twenty twenty five and climbing, she writes a
Speaker 2: twenty five percent spike from twenty twenty four. It's a
Speaker 2: dangerous world out there. I guess this is my conclusion
Speaker 2: on all this. And who's entitled to security and protection
Speaker 2: and safety? Our elected officials are going to get their
Speaker 2: own already, details appears that we're moving in that direction
Speaker 2: after the murder of these Minnesota this Minnesota lawmaker and
Speaker 2: her husband. You can see that coming a mile away,
Speaker 2: can't you. Meanwhile, we will live through this whole defund
Speaker 2: police police are all bunch of evil, racist blah blah blah,
Speaker 2: and our communities become less safe. And you know, the
Speaker 2: practical reality is when seconds count, even in a fully funded,
Speaker 2: fully staffed police department, they're at least minutes away, which
Speaker 2: of course leads to the broader point. You need to
Speaker 2: protect your own You need to be in a position
Speaker 2: to protect yourself. You need to be less reliant on
Speaker 2: those in elected capacity to protect your interest in literally
Speaker 2: any topic. The dysfunction is on full display right now, folks.
Speaker 2: It's just one of the reasons I call myself a
Speaker 2: little little libertarian. I do not believe that others can
Speaker 2: protect me or can make decisions on my behalf that
Speaker 2: represent the best interests of myself or my family. Only
Speaker 2: I have enough information to make those decisions. Five nineteen
Speaker 2: fifty five cars to the talk station five point three,
Speaker 2: seven four nine fifty five eight hundred eight two to
Speaker 2: three Talk pound five fifty on AH and T phones.
Speaker 2: Feel free to call. Maybe you disagree, maybe you agree,
Speaker 2: Maybe got something else you want to talk about. I'd
Speaker 2: love to hear from me. Be right back.
Speaker 1: Fifty five KARC. The talk station five cares to the
Speaker 1: talk vasas. That's what I.
Speaker 3: Know.
Speaker 2: It sounds stupid, Jones. Why I'm laughing. Just take that out.
Speaker 2: It's an admission that they have no idea, isn't it. Jay,
Speaker 2: Welcome to the morning show. In a very happy Monday
Speaker 2: to you, sir, Hey, good morning.
Speaker 3: Hey.
Speaker 4: I kind of feel bad about jumping line in front
Speaker 4: of Tom. I feel like Tom's my hero and I
Speaker 4: should be behind him in line.
Speaker 3: But I guess we'll take it.
Speaker 1: I'll take it. I enjoy hearing from you, Jay, go ahead.
Speaker 4: Hey, wanted to bring up the deal that's going on
Speaker 4: with US steel. I read last night that Trump was
Speaker 4: over in Western Pa, over in Pittsburgh, talking about that
Speaker 4: somehow this deal with US steel going to a Japanese
Speaker 4: steel producer or some sort of arrangement with Nippon Steel,
Speaker 4: that under what he's called national security, that the federal
Speaker 4: government will have a quote golden share of US steel
Speaker 4: in order to make sure that it doesn't leave the country.
Speaker 4: And I'm looking at this and it's I'm not for this.
Speaker 4: And here's why. Cleveland Cliff is a Cleveland based, highly
Speaker 4: successful steel producer that made an offer on US Steel
Speaker 4: back in August and gave them a offered forty five
Speaker 4: percent premium over their existing stock price current stock price,
Speaker 4: and it was turned down by US Steel, and it
Speaker 4: was called unreasonable by US Steel. So the Japanese steel
Speaker 4: producers came in. And now the federal government is stepping
Speaker 4: in under a quote conservative which I think there's an
Speaker 4: argument there to say, is a Trump really a conservative?
Speaker 4: And now the US taxpayer maybe getting drug into subsidies
Speaker 4: for a steel producer that could have sold to a
Speaker 4: different steel producer. And now we've got the federal government
Speaker 4: starting to control the means.
Speaker 2: Of production, anticipating my comment, Jay, you just stole my
Speaker 2: thunder right there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is how's how's this different than Beijing? How
Speaker 4: is moving towards communism, parting capitalism, free market economy and
Speaker 4: conservative principles. And we ought to be pretty concerned as
Speaker 4: we watch this as conservatives that we are, that this
Speaker 4: is not the small this is not the party a
Speaker 4: small government. Whenever the federal government can just throw down
Speaker 4: the flag on the field and say national security, we're
Speaker 4: going to get involved in. When I read this morning,
Speaker 4: he's talking about he'll have he Trump will have the
Speaker 4: control to say where this is going to be produced,
Speaker 4: what the name of it's going to be. He's going
Speaker 4: to point board holders or board members and appoint three
Speaker 4: of them that it can out rank the two that
Speaker 4: are there. Uh. Hey, if this is good for steel production,
Speaker 4: why stop there. Let's get involved in control healthcare, We'll
Speaker 4: control auto production. Um, we'll control everything. If if this
Speaker 4: is good for one thing, then I guess it's good
Speaker 4: for all things. And we are no different and we're
Speaker 4: gonna we're gonna quickly get to where Beijing is.
Speaker 2: Well, you can't call looking for an argument, Jay, I
Speaker 2: know I used that phrase quite often, but I'm with
Speaker 2: you one hundred percent. Yeah, it's not a question whose
Speaker 2: ox is being Gord. I know he is enjoying support
Speaker 2: from unions. But see, here's the reason. You have to
Speaker 2: compromise principles in order to help particular industries. And I
Speaker 2: note you know kind of a parallel that that Trump
Speaker 2: is deciding that maybe ICE shouldn't be going after certain
Speaker 2: industries like farms and meatpacking plants, hotels and restaurants to
Speaker 2: ferret out illegal immigrants. Why, well, he's concerned the industry
Speaker 2: would collapse without the employment of illegal immigrants in those
Speaker 2: particular industries. So pick and shoes, Pick and shoes, and
Speaker 2: in any case, it's all wrong. Excellent point, Jay, I'm
Speaker 2: glad you called and raised it. I don't think he
Speaker 2: necessarily still Tom's thunder. He may go in a different
Speaker 2: direction if he calls this morning, but it's an excellent point.
Speaker 2: Five twenty seven fifty five cares B Talk station. Feel
Speaker 2: free to chime in on the topic or others five one, three, seven, four, nine,

Speaker 2: two to three talk before I get to Tom, who
Speaker 2: has called in this morning. A hilarious post from one
Speaker 2: of the protests rallies over the weekend. Thank you former
Speaker 2: Anderson Township trustee Drew Pappus for posting this one. We
Speaker 2: have a wife beat her T shirt clad woman holding
Speaker 2: up a sign that says Trump, no one paid us
Speaker 2: to be here, We hate you for free. Three strides
Speaker 2: back a man with a sign that says hate has
Speaker 2: never made any nation. Great, I feel like I'm getting
Speaker 2: mixed messages over to the phones. We go, Tom, Welcome
Speaker 2: to the Morning Show. Happy Monday to you.
Speaker 3: Well, good morning.
Speaker 6: How was your Father's Day?
Speaker 2: I had a great Father's Day, got spent time with
Speaker 2: my children, and of course my wife got a beautiful
Speaker 2: card for my wife and a beautiful card for my
Speaker 2: daughter and son, and that just really put a smile
Speaker 2: on my face.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was good.
Speaker 3: We did.
Speaker 7: We did a little something Saturday morning with several of
Speaker 7: the kids, and then my daughter took me out for
Speaker 7: lunch yesterday.
Speaker 1: Just that's great.
Speaker 7: And there is there is something special for dads at
Speaker 7: the relationship.
Speaker 3: With her daughter.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 7: Not quite the same with the boys, but uh.
Speaker 1: It isn't you know, it is not it is.
Speaker 2: I love both my children to death, but there is
Speaker 2: some cool, neat different thing about the relationship with the.
Speaker 1: Father and daughter. And you're you're right on that, without question.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, se Uh the car she gave me and said,
Speaker 7: I love the fact that we don't have to say
Speaker 7: out loud that I'm your favorite child. Why why do
Speaker 7: you keep saying it out loud?
Speaker 1: That's great, that's great.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, good time. And for Saturday, you know, being flagged.
Speaker 3: I just want to confirm, uh.
Speaker 7: That is the American flag we were celebrating, right, stars
Speaker 7: is right, not some of the other flags that we
Speaker 7: have seen waving at different rallies and protests and stuff.
Speaker 1: That is correct.
Speaker 7: I have no problem with people being proud of their heritage.
Speaker 3: Great.
Speaker 7: I know I've got some some different heritage from uh.
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm born here when many generations of my
Speaker 7: family were born here. But you know, that's that's fine.
Speaker 7: You know, let's let's let's celebrate some German heritage or
Speaker 7: or whatever. But you live in the United States of America,
Speaker 7: you should assimilate to the way of life here. Doesn't
Speaker 7: mean everybody has to do the same thing, but there
Speaker 7: are definitely certain things that we all need to embrace
Speaker 7: as reality. And it's it's just a shame that too
Speaker 7: many people trying to get rid of some of these things.
Speaker 7: And it's intentional. They're they're trying to bring about their
Speaker 7: own kind of society and they want certain things to
Speaker 7: go a certain way so they can have power and control.
Speaker 7: And the American way is it's very strong, but at
Speaker 7: the same time, it's it's very fragile and you know
Speaker 7: Reagan was right. It's only you know, it's only one
Speaker 7: generation away from being gone, and so we've got to
Speaker 7: do what we can to protect it. And I appreciate
Speaker 7: the words of Jay, although I will concern him if
Speaker 7: I'm your hero, you've got some serious problems. But I
Speaker 7: am quite certain that Jay would agree with me when
Speaker 7: I tell everybody you want to protect this country, don't
Speaker 7: vote Democrat.
Speaker 2: Have a great day, run you two time. Happy Monday
Speaker 2: to you. I hope you have a great week. Five
Speaker 2: five fifty five Caro City Talk Station. Of course, that

Speaker 2: shooting the ships infest over the weekend. I hope you
Speaker 2: went there as opposed to attending one of the rallies.
Speaker 2: I was a pleasure of being at the flag retirement
Speaker 2: ceremony in Union Township. Really just a I just enjoy
Speaker 2: this the ceremony itself. It's nice being a part of
Speaker 2: it fifteen years in a row. Thanks to the Vietnam
Speaker 2: Veterans Association for sponsoring that, and the shout out to
Speaker 2: Steve Tam who started the whole idea about properly retiring flags.
Speaker 2: Take a look at your flag. I hope you display one,
Speaker 2: but when it looks tattered, it looks faded, it looks worn.
Speaker 2: If it's ripped, it needs to be taken down and
Speaker 2: replaced with one that is new and suitable for flying.
Speaker 2: There is an appropriate way to take it down. It's
Speaker 2: an appropriate way of retiring it. And that's what we
Speaker 2: learned all about over the weekend. So an enjoyable celebration,
Speaker 2: one filled with patriotism and respect.
Speaker 1: Anyhow, let's get to the stacker. Stupid.
Speaker 2: We got a pure Arizona woman in Arizona sentenced after
Speaker 2: facing charges for driving her truck through a park full
Speaker 2: of children and running over a twelve year old girl.
Speaker 8: Do what the hell.
Speaker 2: Maerkop accunty attorney Rachel Mitchell announced Saturday, thirty one year
Speaker 2: old Brandy Gotch had been sentenced to ten years in
Speaker 2: prison for an assault that happened in February of last year.
Speaker 2: Thorty Say, Gotcha's kids were allegedly fighting in the park
Speaker 2: with other children egging them on and recording the whole thing.
Speaker 2: God showed up the pick of her children while walking
Speaker 2: them to her truck. A boy at the playground reportedly
Speaker 2: called her a name, please say. Gotch grabbed the boy
Speaker 2: by the hair, pulled his head back and forth into
Speaker 2: the side and back and forth, yelling at him. Court
Speaker 2: paperwork said that she then grabbed a sharp stick from
Speaker 2: her truck and ran after another boy, yelling, I Am
Speaker 2: going to kill you and run you over. Just a man,
Speaker 2: Joe the should say. Gotch and her kids got into
Speaker 2: the truck while the second boy stood behind and mocked her.
Speaker 2: Gotch then backed out of the parking space, revved her
Speaker 2: engine and drove toward the boy and his sister. Boy
Speaker 2: jumped out of the way, but his sister's legs were
Speaker 2: run over. Gotch continued to drive the truck through the park,
Speaker 2: which had over a dozen children there. At the time,
Speaker 2: some of whom had to get out of the way.
Speaker 2: Part of the incident, of course, caught in a sad
Speaker 2: hell phone camera. Police said they attracked her down to
Speaker 2: her home and arrested her. During an interview with detective,
Speaker 2: she said it allegedly started because she saw preteens which
Speaker 2: I think is an operat word here considering their little children,
Speaker 2: throwing wood chips at three of her children, and believed
Speaker 2: one of them punched her ten year old daughter, Joe.
Speaker 2: Your reaction would be to run him over. It's just
Speaker 2: like a natural reaction. But to children throwing and having disagreement, hey,
Speaker 2: let's get in the car run them over. She told
Speaker 2: police she confronted the group and they called her a slur,
Speaker 2: so she grabbed one of the boy and told him
Speaker 2: not to call her that that would be the grabbing
Speaker 2: him by the head and yanking his head back and forth.
Speaker 1: It was described any complaint.
Speaker 2: She did admit to getting a stick and walking toward
Speaker 2: another boy who called her a slur, but claims she
Speaker 2: never threatened him. Police said, got you admitted of putting
Speaker 2: her truck quote aggressively into reverse and then in drive
Speaker 2: before going through the park. She said she didn't think
Speaker 2: she ran over the girl and said, I hope I didn't. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that would be the feeling as though you're driving over
Speaker 2: a speed bump. Yeah, that was the little girl's legs.
Speaker 2: She claimed her children being bullied by the group of
Speaker 2: kids and had reported it to the school and police,
Speaker 2: but she claimed no action was taken. Charge of three
Speaker 2: counts of evaggravated assault. According to the attorney, this could
Speaker 2: have been much more trades of situation. Thankfully, the worst
Speaker 2: injury in this was a sprain ankle and some bad
Speaker 2: scrapes and bruises. Even when angry or frustrated, it's up
Speaker 2: to adults to act like adults. It's never okay to
Speaker 2: take a rage out on a kid.
Speaker 1: Period.
Speaker 9: The biggest two sho of the universe, in all the galaxies,
Speaker 9: there's no bigger douche than you. You've reached the top,
Speaker 9: the pinnacle of douche them. Good going, Douce, your dreams
Speaker 9: have come true.
Speaker 2: In an Analogus Stacker Stupid story, we go to Palm Coast, Florida,
Speaker 2: where a woman was arrested after the Flagler County Sheriff's
Speaker 2: Office said she drove her car on a multi use
Speaker 2: path in order to chase a teenager riding on an
Speaker 2: electric bicycle just fourteen year old boy gauge Ellis, speaking
Speaker 2: of local news, it was really scary because I looked
Speaker 2: back at the headlights and like, that's not supposed to
Speaker 2: be there right. Nine one month call said the woman,
Speaker 2: sixty five year old Julia Calfoff, was chasing the teenager
Speaker 2: on the e bike and the Pine Lake path used
Speaker 2: for bicycles and pedestrians. Nine one one caller said that
Speaker 2: they'd cut off her vehicle in order to prevent her
Speaker 2: from continuing to chase the teen Deputies responded to the scene,
Speaker 2: where the caller said that he noticed the teenager attempt
Speaker 2: to flag down passing motorists as her SUV was six
Speaker 2: to ten feet behind him. Fourteen year old said, I
Speaker 2: swerved over and onto the road and I waved someone down,
Speaker 2: but they later kept driving and another witness has stayed
Speaker 2: and helped me out. That was the witness to cut
Speaker 2: her off and let me go. Teenager's parents found out
Speaker 2: about the incident of the next day, reported law enforcement.
Speaker 2: Victim's mom. I'm furious as the mother and as an adult.
Speaker 2: There's no way on God's green Earth that that's okay.
Speaker 1: Or that's acceptable.
Speaker 2: Gotthall told deputies she chased the teenager because she was
Speaker 2: not happy with the teenager for riding his e bike
Speaker 2: too fast and wanted to speak with the victim's parents
Speaker 2: do what. Victim told deputies that kathoffa had screamed at him,
Speaker 2: cut him off, and also nearly struck him. Deputies arrested
Speaker 2: Kathoff and charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
Speaker 2: without intent to kill, and reckless driving. Also received a
Speaker 2: uniform traffic citation for driving on the multi use path,
Speaker 2: taken to the sheriff Perry Hall inmate detention facility, later
Speaker 2: released on a three thousand dollars bond. Flagner County Sheriff
Speaker 2: Ricky Staley, in his statement, said she caused a dangerous

Speaker 2: Money with Brian James and we're here from the VA
Speaker 2: at the tail end of the eight o'clock hour. Got
Speaker 2: some information passed along to my veteran friends out there
Speaker 2: and over to the Eastack is stupid.
Speaker 1: This is just so tragic.
Speaker 2: Texas's mother accused of killing her eight month old baby
Speaker 2: after plunging into a bath of scalding water because she
Speaker 2: was frustrated because he soiled his diaper, leaving the infant
Speaker 2: with burns and injuries that later led to his death.
Speaker 1: I can't believe this actually happened.
Speaker 2: Twenty one year old Jetoria Clemens facing charge of injury
Speaker 2: to a child manslaughter connection with the death of her son,
Speaker 2: Courtland Clemens. Happened in February, a coarn of the Hooks
Speaker 2: Police Department. Police announced Saturday that they were looking to

Speaker 2: or whereabouts, please call nine to one ones and advise
Speaker 2: law enforcement. A corn to the press. Relief officers and
Speaker 2: deputies with Bowie County Sheriff's Office responded to the home
Speaker 2: for a medic assist call that day, found medical responders
Speaker 2: performing CPR on the baby. Upon their arrival. Clements allegedly
Speaker 2: staying with a relative Justice of Peace J. Warman, ordered
Speaker 2: that Courtland's body be sent to the Southwest Institute of

Speaker 2: She allegedly admitted to giving her son an extremely hot
Speaker 2: bath while living at the residence in Texarkana. According to
Speaker 2: local news, she said she was frustrated with him because
Speaker 2: of the accident a baby defecating in diapers. I don't
Speaker 2: think that's an accident. Special place in Hell for people
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: Here you go.
Speaker 2: Described as an eccentric name, taking eccentric names to the
Speaker 2: next level and resulting in what is described as relentless
Speaker 2: mocking on the internet. The baby's name in the announcement
Speaker 2: chernyobyl Hope. What friend of the infant's mom or dad
Speaker 2: or both of them posted on the Internet, and many
Speaker 2: of which are calling it offensive and ridiculous. Baby Shower,
Speaker 2: Join us to celebrate the upcoming arrival of a little
Speaker 2: bundle of joy in honor of Chernyobyl Hope, Wait to
Speaker 2: celebrate together, according to the online invitation, and according to
Speaker 2: the article, it appeared as if the parents were unaware
Speaker 2: of the nineteen eighty six nuclear disaster in Chernobyl, Ukraine. Whatever,
Speaker 2: thank you, Liam. That's enough of that one. And finally
Speaker 2: we get local news. Brood fourteen out at about a Mason,
Speaker 2: Ohio bringing some uninvited guests in one of the tri
Speaker 2: States' biggest attractions, King's Island. Yes, they have cicadas in
Speaker 2: King's Island. They're everywhere, and they're actually kind of dying
Speaker 2: off now, Brood fourteen. Doctor Gene Kritsky from Mount Saint
Speaker 2: Joe University said this brood BREWD fourteen first seen by
Speaker 2: the Pilgrims in sixteen thirty four. There's a little bit
Speaker 2: of American history involved with this particular Brood.
Speaker 1: Said.
Speaker 2: They've been emerging a little later than we expected in
Speaker 2: some places. Batavia just had an emergence last week, whereas
Speaker 2: in Loveland they started two weeks ago. It seems like
Speaker 2: a lot longer than that'd, be quite honest with you.
Speaker 2: Over the weekend, several people shared their experience in TikTok
Speaker 2: of cicadas at King's Island, telling people to keep their
Speaker 2: mouths shut while enjoying the rides. Kritsky said, just enjoy
Speaker 2: the cicadas, and while you're on the ride, keep your
Speaker 2: mouth closed.
Speaker 1: Keep your stupid mouth shut.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw an article last week there was an
Speaker 2: autobile accident because a cicada flew in the window of
Speaker 2: an automobile. They don't bite, they don't sting, they don't
Speaker 2: do anything. Really, They're just annoying. And yes, when you're
Speaker 2: cutting the grass, they will definitely hit you right on
Speaker 2: your T shirt. And I thought it was particularly comical.
Speaker 2: I was enjoying my father's day. My daughter came over
Speaker 2: and they have eleven chickens. She went around the yard
Speaker 2: collecting cicadas in a plastic bag to take home to
Speaker 2: feed the chickens, because they don't have cicadas ever in
Speaker 2: our neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Anyway.

Speaker 2: have had a father that fell into that category. I
Speaker 2: certainly miss him, and I know there's a lot of
Speaker 2: folks out there that missed their fathers as well. At
Speaker 2: least we had them, and you miss them because they
Speaker 2: had a profound impact on your life. Feel free to call.

Speaker 1: Monday Monday.
Speaker 2: Brian James talk futures, We'll talk price of oil, We'll
Speaker 2: talk to federal interest rate announcement, and a record number
Speaker 2: of people claiming Social Security, which come as no surprise
Speaker 2: to me, and given the baby boomers are all retiring
Speaker 2: and this Sincinnyva joins the program with tail end of
Speaker 2: the eight o'clock hour. Got some updates from my veteran
Speaker 2: friends in the listening audience. Turning to the comments and
Speaker 2: brilliant observations of Alyssa Finley over the Wall Street Journal,
Speaker 2: you know I do this. I stand on the sholder
Speaker 2: of giants from time to time, and with good reason
Speaker 2: and some really well thought out comments. She has in
Speaker 2: her column how progressive government set the stage for the
Speaker 2: la riots. Now go back to the Saturday night before
Speaker 2: Memorial Day and she writes, more than a thousand revelers
Speaker 2: took over an abandoned warehouse just south of downtown Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: When police tried to break up the illegal party, the
Speaker 2: troublemakers spilled into the streets and spray painted graffiti on businesses,
Speaker 2: police cars, and light rail trains. As police attempted to
Speaker 2: restore order, the delinquents turned violent. Police and riot gear
Speaker 2: eventually moved in and fired rubber bullets to disperse the mob,
Speaker 2: though no arrests were made. Court to Americ Karen Bass,
Speaker 2: it was just pandemodium. Everybody just you know, went bisark.
Speaker 2: We cannot do this in our city and it has
Speaker 2: to be stopped, Karen Bass, pro law and order. Two
Speaker 2: weeks later, pandemonium broke out again as agitators used the
Speaker 2: cover of protest against ICE and the raids to create mayhem.
Speaker 2: Mayor Baths tweeted we will not stand for this. This
Speaker 2: was the afternoon of June sixth, this time referring to
Speaker 2: the ICE raids as opposed to the pandemonium. Ruffians then
Speaker 2: grew more aggressive, vandalizing federal buildings and assaulting ICE officers.
Speaker 2: Local police took nearly an hour that evening to respond
Speaker 2: to a call for help by officers under attack. That
Speaker 2: will be Ice, saying local law enforcement. Please come help us.
Speaker 2: We're being attacked as demonstrations spread on Saturday, I'll be
Speaker 2: less violently than the day before. President Trump federalized the
Speaker 2: California National Guard to protect federal property and personnel, not
Speaker 2: enforced local law, but to protect the ice agents and
Speaker 2: federal property. You can understand why Governor Gavin Newsom would
Speaker 2: be picked by the President's assertion that the state and
Speaker 2: city couldn't be trusted to protect peace. It's human nature
Speaker 2: to take more offense at slights grounded in truth than
Speaker 2: those that aren't. Mister Newsom accused Trump of inflaming a
Speaker 2: combustible situation. Why was the city prone to ignite a
Speaker 2: lessa asks because progressive government policies, which ironically harm immigrants
Speaker 2: most of all, created a tinderbox. If mister Newsom and
Speaker 2: his bast cared for about the welfare of the immigrants,
Speaker 2: they'd clean up Los Angeles lawless streets, fix its atrocious
Speaker 2: public schools, and stop their assistance or assault rather on businesses.
Speaker 2: Start with public safety. Los Angeles Police Department has about
Speaker 2: thirteen hundred fewer officers than a decade ago, at about
Speaker 2: half as many per capita and nearly ninety percent fewer
Speaker 2: per square mile than New York City. You know, as
Speaker 2: I read that, initially, I was thinking about the city
Speaker 2: of Cincinnati. We're down on officers in terms of members
Speaker 2: of officers on patrol as opposed to those in administrative
Speaker 2: capacities or doing work behind the scenes. There are hardly
Speaker 2: any officers in any given neighborhood welcome to defund the police,
Speaker 2: she writes. An overstretched police force almost certainly explains why
Speaker 2: I took officers so long to respond to the call
Speaker 2: from Ice. Officers blame city leaders. The mayor of this
Speaker 2: spring proposed eliminating another four hundred police positions to close
Speaker 2: the city's eight hundred million dollar budget hole caused by
Speaker 2: ballooning pension costs and lawsuit payouts. The LAPD has struggled
Speaker 2: with low morale and recruitment owing to lax enforcement policy
Speaker 2: to let lawbreakers run free. That sounds a little bit
Speaker 2: like the City of Cincinnati to you. Crimes such as shoplifting, vandalism,
Speaker 2: disorderly conduct, and trespassing are rarely prosecuted. How many of
Speaker 2: the rioters have a history of looting businesses and vandalizing
Speaker 2: buildings With impunity, the police recruiting pool has also shrunk
Speaker 2: alongside LA's working class, as blue collar families leave for
Speaker 2: locales with better schools and lower cost of living. Los
Speaker 2: Angeles County HA has lost some one point four million
Speaker 2: people due to domestic out migration since twenty ten, which
Speaker 2: parenthetically has been offset in part by an influx of
Speaker 2: five hundred and thirty thousand presumably illegal immigrants, but many
Speaker 2: of those immigrants lack the qualifications high school diploma and
Speaker 2: legal authorization to work to serve in the city's police force.
Speaker 2: Many immigrants find work as day laborers, bus boys, or stockhands,
Speaker 2: but high minimum wages are pricing unskilled workers out of jobs,
Speaker 2: to the detriment of immigrants, young people, and public safety.
Speaker 2: Minimum wage in LA seventeen dollars and twenty eight cents.
Speaker 2: The state requires fast food restaurants to pay twenty dollars
Speaker 2: an hour. The Employment Policies Institute's Michael Saltzman calculates the
Speaker 2: California's unemployment rate for teens with twenty one point two
Speaker 2: percent in April, double the nationwide figure, and nine point
Speaker 2: seven percent for adults twenty to twenty four versus only
Speaker 2: seven point two on average for the rest of the country.
Speaker 2: How many of the rioters were unemployed or underemployed. Young
Speaker 2: people have been failed by the city's union controlled public schools.
Speaker 2: Nearly a third of students in this is insanity. Nearly
Speaker 2: a third of students in the Los Angeles Unified School
Speaker 2: District last year last school year were chronically absent, which
Speaker 2: is missing one in ten school days or more, from
Speaker 2: ten percent in twenty eighteen. A third worse, Only twenty
Speaker 2: one percent of the city's eighth graders scored proficient or
Speaker 2: higher in reading last year in the nation's report Card,
Speaker 2: only nineteen percent in math.
Speaker 1: Let that sink in.
Speaker 2: Twenty one percent proficient or higher, nineteen percent proficient or
Speaker 2: higher in math, and sadly, the scores were lower among Hispanics,
Speaker 2: who make up three quarters of the students. Parents are
Speaker 2: expressing their displeasure with the schools by moving, causing district
Speaker 2: enrollment to fall by a third since twenty ten. While
Speaker 2: Los Angeles County's population has declined by about sixty thousand
Speaker 2: since twenty ten, the number under eighteen has plunged by
Speaker 2: five hundred thousand, according to the Census Bureau data. Population
Speaker 2: flight presents a problem for LA's profligate politicians because federal
Speaker 2: funding for schools and sundry programs is based on population.
Speaker 2: I wonder why they're protesting the deportation of illegal immigrants.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, she she sort of presents the
Speaker 2: obvious here, doesn't she? Oh my god, everyone's fleeing California.
Speaker 2: We need to replace our population. How the hell are
Speaker 2: we going to do with that? Open the borders up,
Speaker 2: and then protest deporting illegal immigrants, many of whom are
Speaker 2: island criminals. We need the numbers. We can't keep our
Speaker 2: own people here, the nation, citizenry, the legal people, people
Speaker 2: born here in the United States, people who are validly
Speaker 2: in our country. Don't want to live in California anymore.
Speaker 2: Let's give them all free stuff and things in order
Speaker 2: to lure them here and take over our communities. And
Speaker 2: then we'll scream and yelling riot in the streets when
Speaker 2: Immigrations and Customs Enforcement seeks to enforce the law. That
Speaker 2: would be me interjecting over Elisa Finley's interesting and wonderful
Speaker 2: comments here, she concludes, a cynic might wonder if the
Speaker 2: underlying goal of LA's sanctuary policy, which prohibits local law
Speaker 2: enforcement from cooperating with federal federal immigration enforcement is to
Speaker 2: boost population in federal funding. Huh, a cynic might wonder,
Speaker 2: No matter that immigrants are often victims of the criminal aliens,
Speaker 2: the cities shields from deportation, and there'll be the criminals
Speaker 2: of Donald Trump seeking to prioritize in terms of removing
Speaker 2: from our country, the vile, evil criminals, the rapists, the murderers,
Speaker 2: those that shouldn't have stepped foot in our country in
Speaker 2: the first instance. She concludes, mister Trump's raids may be
Speaker 2: unduly harsh, but democratic policies are cruel to immigrants in
Speaker 2: many other ways. Amen six sixteen fifty five care se

Speaker 2: the illigrant illegal immigrant population to keep their number of
Speaker 2: House of Representative seats based on population, not citizens. Got pain,

Speaker 2: I don't know. The folks at QC Kinetics medical professionals.
Speaker 2: They'll explain how their regenerative treatments can take your body's
Speaker 2: own healing properties and help restore damaged tissue right there

Speaker 2: is the problem, because that's what brings about the pain.
Speaker 2: It's ruining your life. You've been to the doctor, You've
Speaker 2: taken pain medications, you've done the steroid injections, the doctor

Speaker 2: Krc our hheard radio music festivals coming up at six
Speaker 2: if I have cares de talk stations. Springing from the
Speaker 2: comments of Alicia Finley in that op ed piece, the
Speaker 2: House of cards. It is California's entire economy, I suppose,
Speaker 2: predicated and built on illegal immigrants, and you deport them
Speaker 2: and the whole thing falls apart. Mayor Karen Bass complaining
Speaker 2: to President Trump about the financial cost of sending ICE
Speaker 2: agents into the jurisdiction. She is concerned about the expenditure
Speaker 2: of taxpayer dollars for ice agents. I'm concerned about the
Speaker 2: expenditure of taxpayer dollars on like a multitude of things,
Speaker 2: but on X she posted just an absolute shameful use
Speaker 2: of taxpayer dollars that could be used to actually help people. Despicable.
Speaker 2: That's the post help people. I guess you left to
Speaker 2: fill in the blanks on that one. It's like my
Speaker 2: puzzling over the No Kings rally over the weekend. What
Speaker 2: were you there protesting? We're protesting the enforcement of immigration law.
Speaker 2: You're protesting Donald Trump as a concept, as a human being,
Speaker 2: Trump arrangement, so syndrome, Trump living rent free in your head,
Speaker 2: prompting you to go out on a beautiful Saturday to
Speaker 2: protest for what reason. For his part, Governor Gavitussm with
Speaker 2: his own post on X one hundred and thirty four
Speaker 2: million dollars. Are you ready for this? That should be
Speaker 2: going to Los Angeles' fire recovery, ah, because of your
Speaker 2: incompetence and the mayor's incompetence, and your refusal to clean
Speaker 2: up brush and otherwise take care of the various forests
Speaker 2: around the region, allowing your infrastructure to collapse, allowing the
Speaker 2: electric transmission lines to spark fires. All of that we're
Speaker 2: supposed to pay for it, And the money allocated for
Speaker 2: ice and customs and immigration enforcement should go to you.
Speaker 1: Interesting.
Speaker 2: I guess that's what Bass meant by helping people help
Speaker 2: Los Angelinos deal with the with the with rebuilding. Social
Speaker 2: media blew up over Newsom and Bass posts White House
Speaker 2: Deputy chiefs of Staff for Policies Stefan Miller, wait till
Speaker 2: you find out how many trillions we have spent on
Speaker 2: illegal immigrants. Another post by campaign strategiest Andrew Clark, Now,
Speaker 2: do the nine billion dollars you drained out of our
Speaker 2: state treasury to fund your free health care for illegal
Speaker 2: immigrants scheme? Real money, real dollars. Recent studies reviewed by
Speaker 2: Fox News Digital show that California spends at least tens
Speaker 2: of billions on illegal immigrants every year. Far more than
Speaker 2: the one hundred and thirty four million dollar costs sending
Speaker 2: in troops to respond to the rioting. Now that was
Speaker 2: really what the point was a National guard sent in
Speaker 2: because the local law enforce it wouldn't protect ice from
Speaker 2: criminal actions, it wouldn't protect federal property. So somebody's got
Speaker 2: to spend some money to bring about law and order,
Speaker 2: at least in so far as protecting federal assets are concerned. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: the predicate for all this, the illegal immigrants and notably
Speaker 2: the criminal element among them, are the purpose and reason
Speaker 2: that all this kind of came unglued. Federation of Army
Speaker 2: Immigration Reform fare cost analysis promoted by the House Budget
Speaker 2: Committee back in twenty twenty three in a press release,
Speaker 2: found that benefits and services provided illegal alliens in California
Speaker 2: alone in calendar year twenty twenty two more than twenty
Speaker 2: two billion dollars, and a more recent cost analysis fair
Speaker 2: calculated the services for illegal immigrants cost California taxpayers thirty
Speaker 2: one billion dollars annually, incarceration costs for illegal immigrants going
Speaker 2: through the court process and being housed in jail two
Speaker 2: billion dollars annually. That's a twenty nineteen study. You can
Speaker 2: only imagine that's gone through the roof. Governor k Newsom
Speaker 2: earlier this year asked for an additional two point eight
Speaker 2: billion dollars in loans to address the state's deficit in
Speaker 2: the medicaid program, which has blown through budget expectations, largely
Speaker 2: due to you know what's coming, coverage for illegal immigrants,
Speaker 2: and the figures just continue. All these expanding programs obviously
Speaker 2: act as lures for the illegal immigrant population. Let's go
Speaker 2: to sanctuary state California, where we can enjoy medicaid at
Speaker 2: no cost to us, among other things, all for the
Speaker 2: purpose of California trying to keep that house of cards
Speaker 2: from falling over and collapsing. Six twenty seven fifty five

Speaker 2: Happy Monday to you.
Speaker 11: Backwise, Brian, a little bit off the subject that you've
Speaker 11: been on. I was watching the news over the weekend
Speaker 11: and they were talking about upcoming Juneteenth celebrations. Yeah, and
Speaker 11: I know a lot of conservatives tend to lean towards
Speaker 11: that as being sort of an appeasement type holiday. But
Speaker 11: you're looking at it all wrong. This is I take
Speaker 11: great pleasure in pointing out the people that it's the
Speaker 11: celebration of the last of the slaves finding out that
Speaker 11: they'd been freed from the Democrats by Republicans.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now, you know what, It wouldn't shock me if Christopher
Speaker 2: Sprithman brings that up, because he has talked about Juneteenth
Speaker 2: and his family regularly and for a many, many many
Speaker 2: years celebrating that very point. I mean, I'm with you
Speaker 2: a hundred percent on the interpretation of the celebration. That's
Speaker 2: the point, isn't it. Democrats are the Party of the Klan,
Speaker 2: Democrats with the Party of Slavery, Democrats of the Party
Speaker 2: of Jim Crow Laws if it wasn't for Republic. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 2: we should all be celebrating.
Speaker 11: Not to mention, don't forget the Welfare Act of sixty four,
Speaker 11: which pretty much destroyed the black family unit.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, you know.
Speaker 11: I mean there's there's a lot of there's a lot
Speaker 11: of reasons why. It's kind of funny because I work
Speaker 11: with some black guys and one of them is kind
Speaker 11: of a political and the other two are pretty much
Speaker 11: strong Trump supporters because they looked around. They work for
Speaker 11: a living, and they're tired of paying for people that.
Speaker 2: Don't they work for a living.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 11: So anyway, if you're a conservative and they start, you
Speaker 11: start getting irritated about Juneteenth, No, remember to point that
Speaker 11: out on top of that. Not that it matters, because
Speaker 11: it's just personal. But I have an ancestor that was
Speaker 11: killed in the Civil War fighting for their freedom, So
Speaker 11: to me, it's an extra special holiday.
Speaker 1: There you have it. That's a great point. I'm glad
Speaker 1: you made it. I really am.
Speaker 2: It's a question for perspective, and sometimes our perspectives are well,
Speaker 2: perhaps not exactly accurate anyhow.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 2: Sarah Herringer, in another post talking about AFTAB Purvoll showing
Speaker 2: up at the No King's rally, which he apparently did,
Speaker 2: and there's a photograph of him speaking with a bullhorn
Speaker 2: to the crowd. Since I mayor rallies with crowd at
Speaker 2: anti Trump protest. Sarah Herringer, so we all know whose
Speaker 2: husband got stabbed to death in there over the right
Speaker 2: home wrote this in a recent post. I believe in
Speaker 2: civic engagement. I believe in calling out injustice wherever it is.
Speaker 2: But when your house is on fire, you don't run
Speaker 2: to protest someone else's mayor purval. You were elected to
Speaker 2: govern Cincinnati, not to campaign on national stages, not to
Speaker 2: chase headlines. Well, you gave speeches about protecting us from
Speaker 2: the federal government. My husband was murdered in our home
Speaker 2: by a man who was supposed to be under state supervision,
Speaker 2: a man who absconded from post release control, a man
Speaker 2: who should have been found and stopped. That is not
Speaker 2: a federal issue. That is your lane, and you weren't
Speaker 2: in it. I don't care if you're a Democrat or
Speaker 2: a Republican. I care whether you are present, I care
Speaker 2: whether you're competent. I care whether the families in this
Speaker 2: city can trust you to do more than perform grief
Speaker 2: after the fact, because the truth is, you can't protest
Speaker 2: authoritarianism while ignoring dysfunction in your own backyard. You can't
Speaker 2: call yourself a protector of democracy while communities in your
Speaker 2: care are being left unprotected. You were given a city,
Speaker 2: start acting like it, because while you're focused on Washington,
Speaker 2: some of us are burying our loved ones and we
Speaker 2: deserve better. Oh, I like that one as I stare

Speaker 2: Happy Monday, looking forward to having Christopher Spindman return of the program,
Speaker 2: and he may very well mention jimt he has in
Speaker 2: the past Monday Monday with Ryan James Ato five and
Speaker 2: we'll talk to the Cincinntiva at eight forty with our
Speaker 2: KRC Cares segment. I certainly care about the American veteran
Speaker 2: and I know the good people at the VA are
Speaker 2: doing their best to help those American veterans with their
Speaker 2: medical care five one, three, seven, four nine to fifty
Speaker 2: five hundred, eight hundred eight two to three talk. You know,
Speaker 2: I'm pivoting off of the reality of what's going on
Speaker 2: in California, the fact that their entire state is pretty
Speaker 2: much built and predicated on illegal immigrants being there and
Speaker 2: staying there, otherwise work wouldn't get done. And Trump, I think,
Speaker 2: is echoing that concern. Trump administration has directed immigration officers
Speaker 2: to pause arrest at farms, restaurants, and hotels, this following
Speaker 2: President Trump expressing alarm about the impact of aggressive enforcement,
Speaker 2: at least according to officials speaking with the News hmmm.
Speaker 3: UH.
Speaker 2: Official with ICE Homeland Security Investigations Unit, Tatum King, wrote
Speaker 2: regional leaders this past Thursday to halt investigations of the
Speaker 2: agricultural industry, including meat packers, restaurants, and hotels. As reported
Speaker 2: by The New York Times, Ooh, why, well, labor intensive
Speaker 2: jobs most Americans won't do. Actio's describing it as an
Speaker 2: economic calamity that result from the mass deportations. If you
Speaker 2: go after every illegal immigrant or unauthorized immigrant, I guess
Speaker 2: it's easier to get free stuff than work for Americans
Speaker 2: because Americans won't do these labor intensive jobs. American Immigration
Speaker 2: Council estimated unauthorized immigrants make up about four point six
Speaker 2: of the nation's total employed labor force. Ready for this one, though,
Speaker 2: according to the Department of Agriculture, a recent study that
Speaker 2: they put out estimated that about forty two percent of
Speaker 2: America's farm workers were undocumented. That's county years twenty twenty
Speaker 2: to twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: Hmmmm.
Speaker 2: And it's a legitimate question to ask who's going to
Speaker 2: do the farm work, who's going to pick crops? Apparently
Speaker 2: Americans are too damn lazy to do it themselves. Tricia McLaughlin,
Speaker 2: Homeland Security spokesperson, said, we will follow President's direction and
Speaker 2: continue to work to get the worst of the worst
Speaker 2: criminal illegal aliens off American streets, of course, pivoting off
Speaker 2: of We're not going to go after the agricultural workers,
Speaker 2: the ones that haven't committed crimes.
Speaker 1: We let them stay.
Speaker 2: An illustration that mass deportations of every single illegal immigrant
Speaker 2: in our country threatens industries that rely on them. Truth
Speaker 2: social media posts from our own president, our great farmers,
Speaker 2: and people in the hotel and leisure business have been
Speaker 2: starting as stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration
Speaker 2: is taking very good, long time workers away from them,
Speaker 2: with those jobs being almost impossible to replace. Many cases,
Speaker 2: the criminals allowed in our country by the very stupid
Speaker 2: Biden open borders policy are applying for those jobs.
Speaker 1: This is not good.
Speaker 2: We must protect our farmers, but get the criminals out
Speaker 2: of the USA. Changes are coming, so, you know, even
Speaker 2: Donald Trump recognizes the limitations of a you know, wholesale
Speaker 2: one dent crackdown on this and I bring this up,
Speaker 2: you know, to kick you to reflect on the reality
Speaker 2: that we are dealing with here in the country. We've
Speaker 2: raised a whole generation or five generations, how many how
Speaker 2: long has this been going on of young people who
Speaker 2: are here and are lawfully here, Because there are kids
Speaker 2: that won't do work and We got people coming from
Speaker 2: countries that their country suck so much that they're happy
Speaker 2: to do that kind of work. I mean, talk to
Speaker 2: the kid down in your basement, play an Xbox, so
Speaker 2: I get a job?
Speaker 3: Do it?
Speaker 1: Would uh picking berries? Hmm?
Speaker 2: Now go to some place that's just economically devastated, or
Speaker 2: you know, just an awful, awful, awful country, so much
Speaker 2: so that you're willing to walk thousands of miles and
Speaker 2: pay drug cartels the smugging you into our country. You're
Speaker 2: willing to pick the berries that the kid in the
Speaker 2: basement won't do. It's just a real odd thing to behold,
Speaker 2: isn't it. Which And I had the guy from Breitbart
Speaker 2: talking about basically it's a guilded age out in California.
Speaker 2: We have all these really really really rich people that
Speaker 2: have all of these folks that are here illegally doing
Speaker 2: the work for them for very little wage at all.
Speaker 2: Why because well, you'd have to pay an American citizen
Speaker 2: young person a whole hell of a lot more than
Speaker 2: you would pay any illegal to do the work.
Speaker 1: Well, isn't that kind of America at large? I don't know.
Speaker 2: Things that make you hmmm, got a house, got an
Speaker 2: electric project called my friends at Cullen Cullen Electric. You

Speaker 2: Fifty one fifty five care city talk station in fighting
Speaker 2: phone calls. I mean, you've got something to say, love
Speaker 2: to hear from you five one three, seven nine fifty
Speaker 2: eight hundred eight two to three talk pound five fifty
Speaker 2: on AT and T phones.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Part of the problem with this sanctuary cities and state
Speaker 2: policies is that they don't alert Immigrations and Customs officials
Speaker 2: about criminals in the court system. We've seen this time
Speaker 2: and time again. They don't cooperate. You got a guy
Speaker 2: that's committed to crime, and you don't let ICE know
Speaker 2: when you're letting them out in spite of the fact
Speaker 2: they're an illegal, illegal immigrant. And if you did that,
Speaker 2: you would get rid of the bad element that Donald
Speaker 2: Trump is trying to focus on, which would not then
Speaker 2: thereby prevent ICE or eliminate or alleviate the need for
Speaker 2: ICE to go into. Yeah, the farming industry or other businesses,
Speaker 2: meat packers and things. That's part of the problem is
Speaker 2: because you know, as the article pointed out another's note,
Speaker 2: some of the criminal element will in fact go and
Speaker 2: do these jobs. So you got a bad guy in
Speaker 2: working as a meatpacker person or a fruit picker, let
Speaker 2: out of the criminal justice system to go back out
Speaker 2: on the streets because of the sanctuary policies, and then
Speaker 2: ICE says, well, we know where that guy is. They
Speaker 2: go in there and then find out there's a whole
Speaker 2: bunch of illegal immigrants and end up rounding all of
Speaker 2: them up. So while Trump and I am going to
Speaker 2: pair back, I guess that happening. I presume that that
Speaker 2: means that I, well, I s will have to pick
Speaker 2: them up elsewhere as a post on the job. Then
Speaker 2: if you know someone's on the street illegal alien who's
Speaker 2: a criminal, then they'll try to find them someplace else.
Speaker 2: It's obviously a very complicating factor that goes on.
Speaker 1: Borders.
Speaker 2: Our Tom Homan repeatedly said ICE is going to send
Speaker 2: officers into communities and workplaces, particularly in sanctuary jurisdictions that
Speaker 2: limit the agency's access to local jails. He said, you know,
Speaker 2: sanctuary cities will get exactly what they don't want, more
Speaker 2: officers in the communities and more officers of the work sites.
Speaker 2: We can't arrest them in the jail, we'll arrest them
Speaker 2: in the community. If we can't arrest them in the community,
Speaker 2: we're gonna increase work side enforcement operation. We're gonna flood
Speaker 2: the zone. And then Trump ends up having a backpack
Speaker 2: on that concept because of course, apparently none of us
Speaker 2: will have any food to eat if we go ahead
Speaker 2: and get all the illegal immigrants off the farms. This
Speaker 2: is an extremely complicated situation, is it not, And if
Speaker 2: you're opposing ICE agents, you run the risk. I'm moving
Speaker 2: over it to more comical element, although it's not comical
Speaker 2: for the victim. Here man protesting against ice raids in
Speaker 2: downtown Los Angeles with Los Angeles KTLA after an officer's
Speaker 2: close range rubber bullet shot hit him in the groin, dear,
Speaker 2: what the hell, severely bruising one of his testicles and
Speaker 2: shattering the other. Thirty three year old so called demonstrator
Speaker 2: Martin Santoyo quote it sucks to sit down close quote.
Speaker 6: Now who can argue with that?
Speaker 2: Home from the hospital but still in recovery, unable to walk.
Speaker 2: Incident happened last Monday, Temple Street, just after he got
Speaker 2: out off his bicycle within the crowd of protesters among
Speaker 2: law enforcement. He noted that before this happened, he did
Speaker 2: not hear any officers declaring an unlawful gathering. Okay, that
Speaker 2: would hurt, wouldn't it. Sean Hannity's burn at commercials, stick around,

Speaker 2: nice cards.
Speaker 1: So there you go.
Speaker 2: My wife did a beautiful job of my card. It's
Speaker 2: always nice when you do personal thoughts. Wasn't even a
Speaker 2: Father's Day card. It was just like a you know,
Speaker 2: a you know, flowers and stuff on the front and
Speaker 2: just a blank space that she filled in completely. So
Speaker 2: thank you very much, Paul, and I really appreciated those

Speaker 2: of time here in next segment the Smith Event. Always
Speaker 2: look forward to talking to Christopher Money money at Brian James,
Speaker 2: fast forward to one hour. We'll talk futures. We'll talk
Speaker 2: to the price of oil, giving the Iran Israel bombing
Speaker 2: campaign that's currently in progress, federal interest rate and out
Speaker 2: will the interest rates drop? And Donald Trump's been pushing
Speaker 2: for that record number of people claiming Social Security again
Speaker 2: pointing out the obvious A lot of baby boomers are
Speaker 2: in retirement age.
Speaker 1: Now, big chunk of folks.
Speaker 2: That's the World War two veterans coming back and having babies.
Speaker 2: Karris Cares. Speaking of veterans, we got Cincinniva on at
Speaker 2: eight four who got some information passed along to my
Speaker 2: veteran audience members. And God bless each and every one
Speaker 2: of you. Anyhow, Yeah, speaking of these the conflict going on,
Speaker 2: it's more of the conflict.
Speaker 1: It's out outright war and.
Speaker 2: It looks like I tell you, uh, Israel has really
Speaker 2: done a number on Iran, and now apparently they own
Speaker 2: the airspace Israel flying in and out and hitting more
Speaker 2: targets in Iran. I guess free of the concern they're
Speaker 2: going to get shot out of the scot They've blown
Speaker 2: up quite a bit of the Iran's arsenal, and yet
Speaker 2: over the weekend they claimed to operate almost freely in Iran.
Speaker 2: Third day of air strikes yesterday killed more high ranking
Speaker 2: security figures, and some Iranian missiles did slip through Israeli's
Speaker 2: air defenses. I've seen a number of reports hypersonic missiles
Speaker 2: and I was not aware that Iran had those, not
Speaker 2: even sure if we've got them anyway. As an indication
Speaker 2: of how far Israel was prepared to go amid fears
Speaker 2: of all out war, US official told the Associated Press
Speaker 2: that Donald Trump that President Trump in recent days vetoed
Speaker 2: and Israeli planned to kill Iran's supreme leader, Ayatola al Khameni. Now, meanwhile,
Speaker 2: Trump was sing over the weekend, just yesterday, we had
Speaker 2: nothing to do with this, this this war campaign. US
Speaker 2: had nothing to do with the attack on Iran. But
Speaker 2: he pointed out, a if we are attacked in any way,
Speaker 2: shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might
Speaker 2: of the US armed forces will come down on you
Speaker 2: at levels never seen before. However, we can easily get
Speaker 2: a deal gun between Iran and Israel and end the
Speaker 2: bloody conflict. So here he is attempting, and you know,
Speaker 2: Iran kept walking away from the table. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: almost like the situation with Russian and Ukraine. Russia says, listen,
Speaker 2: we are not going to negotiate peace unless you agree
Speaker 2: to completely disarm and denazify, whatever the hell that's supposed
Speaker 2: to mean, as well as give away the certain you know,
Speaker 2: areas of Ukraine.
Speaker 1: Right, and Zelensky won't.
Speaker 2: Come to the table because he won't concede to those
Speaker 2: initial demands. Well, that's exactly what Iran has been saying
Speaker 2: in so far as you know the the nuclear processing.
Speaker 2: They're not going to give up their nuclear programs. So
Speaker 2: don't come to the table telling us that we're going
Speaker 2: to have to give up our nuclear program as a
Speaker 2: predicate for sitting down and negotiating peace. So I suppose
Speaker 2: we're to stalemate such that you know, Israel says, listen,
Speaker 2: they're like five seconds away from getting a nuclear bomb.
Speaker 2: We are going to take them out in a wildly
Speaker 2: successful campaign. Hell, it even surprised the Israelis that they
Speaker 2: were able to kill so many of the top commanders
Speaker 2: in that meeting, which apparently got orchestrated by the Israeli
Speaker 2: government itself. And isn't an amazing thing to realize that
Speaker 2: Israel has infiltrated the Iranian government specifically red flags for
Speaker 2: us here in the United States of America during protest
Speaker 2: weekend and on this long term discussion we've been having
Speaker 2: about the illegal immigrant population, all the known godaways think
Speaker 2: about it. Ukraine was able to sneak in drones into
Speaker 2: Russia to hit Russian targets deep within Russia that were
Speaker 2: out of the reach of the Ukrainian military. Obviously that
Speaker 2: took place over a long period of time, but that
Speaker 2: they were successful in doing that. Israel able to get
Speaker 2: Hamas to pick up a bunch of cell phones and
Speaker 2: walkie talkies and communication devices and carry them around for like,
Speaker 2: I guess that's in a campaign that went over a
Speaker 2: multi year or more, and then activated the blow up switch,
Speaker 2: eliminating a whole bunch of the Hamas members blow them up.
Speaker 2: And then did the same thing in Iran. Infiltrated the government,
Speaker 2: snuck in Dernes and we're able to hit a whole
Speaker 2: bunch of targets from within Iran itself. Anybody notice a
Speaker 2: trend coming here? Meanwhile, across the United States of America,
Speaker 2: the Chinese Communist Party busy buying up vast quantities of
Speaker 2: land near military bases. Hmm, anything to see there. I mean,
Speaker 2: we live in a world where it is literally impossible
Speaker 2: to protect yourself from every single threat. As I joked
Speaker 2: this morning about members of Congress now demanding more security,
Speaker 2: personal security for them because this nutcase dvance bolter killed
Speaker 2: State Representative Melissa Hartman and her husband while posing as
Speaker 2: a police officer. Yeah, we live in a violent world,
Speaker 2: whether it's just on this local, individual state basis with
Speaker 2: I have no idea what his political motivations are, but
Speaker 2: they caught him. But you know, the broader point is,
Speaker 2: I mean, there's no way to protect yourself from all
Speaker 2: forms of violence out there in the world. Some are
Speaker 2: posed a greater threat than others. It's a question of
Speaker 2: where you focus your resources, which is kind of the
Speaker 2: joking point about congressional members. Four hundred and fifty plus
Speaker 2: members of Congress. Are we gonna pay for each and
Speaker 2: every one of them to have twenty four hour day,
Speaker 2: seven day week security because that's what was being suggested.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Elected officials in the state of Minnesota
Speaker 2: got murdered. Yeah, talked to a whole bunch of people
Speaker 2: down and over the Rhine or elsewhere in the city
Speaker 2: Sincinnati to get murdered almost every single day. Yeah, well,
Speaker 2: we can't provide personal protection for them either. Dangerous world
Speaker 2: we live in, isn't it. So I'm a fan of
Speaker 2: the Second Amendment, Bobby, someone else is a fan of
Speaker 2: the Second Amendment. Welcome to the Morning Show. Happy Monday
Speaker 2: to you, sir.
Speaker 3: Happy Monday.
Speaker 12: My friend I'd like to thank you and all the
Speaker 12: three letter agencies, and they did an awful good job Saturday,
Speaker 12: And I tell you where it was, right up in Dayton,
Speaker 12: a Rwanda national he was arrested and for his participation
Speaker 12: in that ninety four genocide in Rwanda.
Speaker 1: Oh really, Oh yeah, picked him up right up there.
Speaker 12: He was one of the ones that orchestrated the murder
Speaker 12: of all those Tucsi rebels.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that was hundreds of thousands of people
Speaker 2: that got slaughtered, wasn't it.
Speaker 12: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yes, and he was up in dates.
Speaker 12: Yes, I don't think it's on the news or anything.
Speaker 11: Really.
Speaker 1: Yes, I have not seen it anything about that.
Speaker 12: Yeah, sure is. So I like to thank everybody involved
Speaker 12: in that to getting that food off the street and
Speaker 12: anybody around him.
Speaker 1: No kidding. That was Bill Clinton.
Speaker 2: I think he said that was his greatest failure as
Speaker 2: a president, that he wasn't able to do anything at
Speaker 2: all about that genocide in Rwanda. That also illustrates kind
Speaker 2: of further the point that I made earlier and the
Speaker 2: ineffective reality of the United Nations. You were going to
Speaker 2: scratch your head and wonder where the hell they are.
Speaker 1: It's like, what is the point of the United Nations.
Speaker 12: He's been here since.
Speaker 1: Nine That's crazy, man.
Speaker 12: I can't put it in any other way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't either. Just one of how many that
Speaker 2: we will never know the number of extraordinarily dangers and
Speaker 2: in this particular case, murders. Mass murders are in this
Speaker 2: country right now, which is why I say take stock
Speaker 2: in your own security. Appreciate to call Bobby seven fifteen

Speaker 3: awesome father. Well I know, I know you got awesome love.
Speaker 3: I got awesome love.
Speaker 2: And yeah I a then I got awesome love, Christopher.
Speaker 2: And you know, I'm really self deprecating when it comes to,
Speaker 2: you know, my father being a father, and you know,
Speaker 2: my daughter always kind of rises to the challenge of
Speaker 2: me feeling like for in some way, shape or form,
Speaker 2: I've kind of let them down. And my wife like, Brian,
Speaker 2: come on, man, you know it's like I look back
Speaker 2: and I focus on things and maybe I should have
Speaker 2: done or should have done better, or could have done
Speaker 2: And overall, apparently at least they think they think that
Speaker 2: I've done a good job.
Speaker 1: That's what matters. Man.
Speaker 3: Well, you know it's that Monday morning quarterbacking. Even for fathers.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, do the best we can. It's the hardest
Speaker 3: job in the world to be a parent. I like
Speaker 3: to tell my siblings who have dogs and no children,
Speaker 3: there's a big difference. I had a dog, I've got kids.
Speaker 3: I got to tell these uncles and ats and cousins
Speaker 3: around me, Hey, it is totally different being a parent.
Speaker 2: No kidding, Lord Almighty, you know, and I gotta be
Speaker 2: honest with you. I will admit, and I know you
Speaker 2: experienced this, and you know, God bless your late wife.
Speaker 2: What a wonderful, wonderful woman. When you know, when you
Speaker 2: marry right and you stick together, it makes that concept
Speaker 2: of parenting a lot easier when there are two people
Speaker 2: involved in raising the children and both care and have
Speaker 2: a concern over their well being. That's it's It just
Speaker 2: makes being a parent an enjoyable experience. I can't imagine
Speaker 2: being a single parent and have to take on the
Speaker 2: job of you know, the disciplinarian, the person providing love
Speaker 2: and food and shelter and all that, without the benefit
Speaker 2: of a spouse who's there with you and dealing with
Speaker 2: the challenges itself. I mean, that's the joy of having
Speaker 2: two parent families, you.
Speaker 3: Know, Brian, What I will say to you in public
Speaker 3: honesty is that I didn't get being a single parent
Speaker 3: until Pam died. I know, so I got I got
Speaker 3: both sides of it right, and so my appreciation for
Speaker 3: single parents and what they have to manage on a
Speaker 3: daily basis, no matter the circumstances, whether it's divorced or
Speaker 3: did bedad, whatever the scenario is, it is a tough
Speaker 3: job trying to be mama and papa at the same time.
Speaker 3: You know, you don't don't you don't get that break
Speaker 3: that you normally got, Like you know, it's like that
Speaker 3: that wrestling on TV. You go in and somebody tagged
Speaker 3: in and you're like, hey, come in, I need a break.
Speaker 3: When you're a single parent, you don't get that. It's
Speaker 3: real time all the time, and it's and it's really
Speaker 3: really tough. But I but my hat goes out for
Speaker 3: all the dads out there, and I think it's one
Speaker 3: of those public policies, uh that you know, police officers
Speaker 3: and teachers and uh firefighters whoever, those those professions are
Speaker 3: what we're seeing happening across our country and our cities.
Speaker 3: You know, they can't take the place of parenting and
Speaker 3: fathers in households. They just can't. And until we get
Speaker 3: that together, I mean I'm talking about as a culture,
Speaker 3: not something some legislator can do as a country. Until
Speaker 3: we get our arms around fatherhood and what that means
Speaker 3: for our country and how we hold dads. We're talking
Speaker 3: about Father's Day because we can hold moms accountable too,
Speaker 3: but today we're talking about dad. How we hold these
Speaker 3: dads accountable for their involvement or lack of involvement in
Speaker 3: these kids' life. It's going to be difficult to make progress, indeed.
Speaker 2: And you know, I'll say, I may have all fathers
Speaker 2: out there who may not be, you know, as engaged
Speaker 2: as other fathers. If you're there and you're working, and
Speaker 2: you're doing a job, and you're putting food on the table,
Speaker 2: that alone is important in the hearts and minds of children.
Speaker 2: They at least see you being responsible for taking care
Speaker 2: of the family. You're getting up, you're going to work
Speaker 2: every single day, and then you're coming home in the evening.
Speaker 2: You're coming home to them, And that alone is an
Speaker 2: important lesson and illustration of the importance of fatherhood in
Speaker 2: and of itself.
Speaker 3: And let me add to that to say, dads out
Speaker 3: there who are listening to us, right, who are I'm
Speaker 3: just going to say, who are marginal to poor? Remember
Speaker 3: how you treat the mother of your children when you
Speaker 3: have a daughter, When you have a daughter, right, it's
Speaker 3: what she learns what she knows, and it's what her
Speaker 3: expectations are.
Speaker 1: Amen, So understand.
Speaker 3: That there are ramifications, whether it's a son and how
Speaker 3: he treats a woman, but your daughter and her expectations
Speaker 3: of how she's treated. So treat mama bad and do
Speaker 3: all that stuff, and then don't get all bent out
Speaker 3: of shape when she selects somebody like you.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 2: Oh that's awesome. And as a shout out to Eric,
Speaker 2: my daughter's fiance, because he is a good man, a
Speaker 2: good protective, responsible man, and you know what, I'm glad
Speaker 2: you brought that up. I feel even better about my
Speaker 2: daughter getting married to Eric cart hang On, bring you
Speaker 2: back here, Christopher hang On. I mentioned four in Extreme
Speaker 2: seven thirty one fifty five Krsity talk station Brian Thomas
Speaker 2: with Christopher smith Man always going to smith event every
Speaker 2: Monday beginning at seven to twenty. Christopher, what else is
Speaker 2: on your mind? Since we got our Father's Day well
Speaker 2: wishes out of the way.
Speaker 3: It's this dance vault fifty seven year old Minnesota guy
Speaker 3: who shows up dressed like a police officer and guns
Speaker 3: down the house speaker Melissa Hortman and her and her
Speaker 3: husband in their home and I heard you talking about
Speaker 3: this this morning. Yeah, then goes and tries to target
Speaker 3: another elected official, shoots him and her husband. We our
Speaker 3: hearts go out to them because and the great work
Speaker 3: of the of the police who like pulled it together
Speaker 3: real fast. He's probably going door to door here because
Speaker 3: they saw the hit list in the car and responded,
Speaker 3: found them shot, and gave them life saving help that
Speaker 3: got them into surgery. But the point is, is all
Speaker 3: of this rhetoric that we see going on, cars burning,
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas, Rocks being thrown at police officers, bottles being
Speaker 3: thrown at police officers. They're they're doing their jobs and
Speaker 3: to see the mass media fall right back in the trap.
Speaker 3: Right they're on TV. Cars are on fire, bricks are
Speaker 3: being thrown, cops are being hit and punched, and they
Speaker 3: say there's no violence. These are just peaceful protests, like
Speaker 3: don't believe your eyes, don't believe what you're hearing, don't
Speaker 3: believe what you're seeing. However you want to dress that
Speaker 3: pig up. I am amazed at the mainstream media right.
Speaker 3: They don't understand how they are playing a major part
Speaker 3: in what just happened in Minnesota. Even the governor there
Speaker 3: and his behavior, the things that he has said, his
Speaker 3: own rhetoric. Yeah, I think, and this is speculation, Brian Thomas.
Speaker 3: I think we're going to find out that this person
Speaker 3: did not like a recent vote of the House speaker
Speaker 3: there and decided to take things into his own hands.
Speaker 3: I think we're going to find out what his motivations were,
Speaker 3: and they were about votes that these Democrats taking with Republicans.
Speaker 3: And this notion of compromise has left the public space
Speaker 3: meaning to say, I'm trying to compromise with my colleague
Speaker 3: and I'm trying to move some type of public policy forward.
Speaker 3: In today's world, it's viewed as you are some person
Speaker 3: that has gone against us. You know, you're now a trader,
Speaker 3: and I'm going to announce try to take you out.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna try to take you out.
Speaker 3: And I just my hearts go out to those families.
Speaker 3: Bryan Times. I just wanted to say that I'm watching that.
Speaker 3: I'm glad they called him. I hope they hold him accountable.
Speaker 3: But it's unbelievable and these are the things I have
Speaker 3: to be honest with you, I worry about, Brian Thomas,
Speaker 3: your friend me personally. I worry about this. You know,
Speaker 3: I'm on I'm on red alert most days, and I
Speaker 3: encourage people, and I've said it on your show that
Speaker 3: you've got to be prepared to defend yourself. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: you have these same liberal bodies like City Hall in Cincinnati,
Speaker 3: you know, passing resolutions and saying you want to get
Speaker 3: rid of all legal guns and illegal guns. Like it
Speaker 3: makes absolutely no sense. If you're not gonna protect me,
Speaker 3: why can't I take it under my own to protect
Speaker 3: my family and my house. I just don't understand it.
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, and you got members of Congress now
Speaker 2: talking about getting personal security for themselves. Of course, Uh,
Speaker 2: you know, House of Representative members and senators don't have
Speaker 2: their own personal security unless they're in some lofty elevated position.
Speaker 2: And you know, after these shootings in Minnesota now they're
Speaker 2: screaming and yelling about getting their own law. You know,
Speaker 2: I guess taxpayer funded private security. I mean, you and
Speaker 2: I don't get that, Christopher, And we live in a
Speaker 2: far more dangerous world than they live in.
Speaker 3: Look, Brian Thomas, public, they don't even realize what you
Speaker 3: personally went through when somebody with their truck tried to
Speaker 3: run you off the road right, and that that was
Speaker 3: a very close call for you, my friend Brian Thomas,
Speaker 3: meaning it was a close call what was happening on
Speaker 3: that highway when that guy was trying to run you
Speaker 3: off the road, and he didn't realize that within seconds
Speaker 3: that guy was about to lose his life. That Brian
Speaker 3: Thomas wasn't gonna play with him when he got out
Speaker 3: of that car now.
Speaker 2: And he did the right thing by walking away from
Speaker 2: where the cars ended up. And that's what saved his
Speaker 2: life because he was at my door when I opened
Speaker 2: my door up. I've said before and I say it again,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I was in a position where I was
Speaker 2: feared for what I feared for my life legitimately so
Speaker 2: and it's nice to have the ultimate great equalizer, because
Speaker 2: that guy towered over me in terms of his size.
Speaker 2: You know, that's the point of having a firearm. You
Speaker 2: could be a slight of build, elderly woman of ninety
Speaker 2: pounds and you can still defend yourself against a six
Speaker 2: foot four to four hundred pound guy. And if you don't,
Speaker 2: if you don't take it upon yourself to be in
Speaker 2: a position to be able to do that, not that
Speaker 2: in all circumstances you are going to be able to
Speaker 2: do it. I'm just I'm not saying that owning a
Speaker 2: firearm alone is going to avoid all situations. World's in
Speaker 2: a perfect place, but having access to one certainly should
Speaker 2: provide you a measure of comfort and at least the
Speaker 2: ability to stop something like that from happening to you
Speaker 2: or especially coming up. He was a father's day. More fundamentally,
Speaker 2: your family. Let's bring Christopher back seven thirty six. If
Speaker 2: you have care, see the talks dam seven forty one
Speaker 2: almost and went I think about Kresy Talk Station. Enjoying
Speaker 2: my conversation with Christopher Smith and always enjoy hearing from
Speaker 2: every Monday. We're gonna hear from Brian James Monday, Monday,
Speaker 2: after the top of the arn is Christopher?
Speaker 1: What else is on your mind this morning?
Speaker 3: Look? Look, Brian, this segment that I'm gonna have is
Speaker 3: going to feel a little boring. I just want to
Speaker 3: share to your listening audience. But it's the foundation and
Speaker 3: it will set up further conversations that you and I
Speaker 3: will have on Monday mornings. There are three books or
Speaker 3: historical points that every American should understand about our country.
Speaker 3: One is the dread Scott case. Number two is juneteenth.
Speaker 3: I heard you talking about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you're going to bring that up.
Speaker 3: And they should understand the Tuskegee Syphilist study. Right, these
Speaker 3: are three major things historically that happen in our country,
Speaker 3: and particularly conservatives should go out. Republicans should go out
Speaker 3: and find out about the dread Scott case. June teams
Speaker 3: understand it, and the Tustigee Simpli studies. No, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: jump into dread Scott. So, Dred Scott is a American
Speaker 3: who was a slave who had traveled to a free
Speaker 3: state and said, hey, I'm now free. This case went
Speaker 3: all the way to the Supreme Court and seven to two,
Speaker 3: which were seven Dixiecrats, seven activists, Supreme Court justices said,
Speaker 3: Dred Scott, you are a slave. You will always be
Speaker 3: a slave. It doesn't matter where you live, where you travel.
Speaker 3: You are not an American and you will never be
Speaker 3: an American. Pred Scott, you are property. This was the
Speaker 3: United States Supreme Court. These were seven Dixiecrats. Look it up,
Speaker 3: who are Supreme Court justices. This case, many historians will say,
Speaker 3: was the beginning of the Civil War. This was the
Speaker 3: beginning of the war which ultimately elected Lincoln as President
Speaker 3: of the United States of America. And through all of
Speaker 3: that you had the birth of Juneteenth. On June nineteenth,
Speaker 3: eighteen sixty five, where major which is this is an officer,
Speaker 3: a major General, Gordon Granger, ordered the final enforcement of
Speaker 3: the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas, which was the end of
Speaker 3: the Civil War, which African Americans in this country say
Speaker 3: that was the day of our freedom sold the birth
Speaker 3: of Juneteenth. But Dred Scott and Juneteenth are absolutely linked together.
Speaker 3: And in all of that were the Dixiecrats, were the
Speaker 3: Democrats who were oppressing African Americans, enslaved people in this country.
Speaker 3: And it was the Republicans who were fighting for those freedoms,
Speaker 3: who were voting like overwhelmingly for the civil rights legislation
Speaker 3: to come through the Civil Rights Act. So many Republicans
Speaker 3: and Conservatives do not know the role they played in
Speaker 3: the freedom of African Americans, colors, the negro whatever you
Speaker 3: want to call us, through the history of the United
Speaker 3: States of America. If it were up to the Dixiecrats,
Speaker 3: we would still be slaves today. If it were up
Speaker 3: to the Dixiecrats, we would not be Americans. Why is
Speaker 3: this important? Right now? The dread Scott case is being
Speaker 3: used by liberals in the Supreme Court right now for
Speaker 3: birth rights for those who have come to our country
Speaker 3: illegally who are giving birth and saying those citizens are
Speaker 3: now Americans. And they're now using the dread Scott case
Speaker 3: right now with seven to two, with a Supreme Court
Speaker 3: that said dread Scott wasn't a citizen, you will never
Speaker 3: be an American. Now you see the President of the
Speaker 3: United States who say, hey, listen, you can't just come
Speaker 3: to this country illegally. That's the key. We didn't say legally,
Speaker 3: you come to the country illegally, give birth to a child,
Speaker 3: and that child be a citizen of the United States.
Speaker 3: African Americans who are listening to me, do not understand
Speaker 3: that when this is being argued in front of the
Speaker 3: Supreme Court, they're gonna say dread Scott, dread Scott, dread Scott,
Speaker 3: dread Scott constantly because it's the foundation of it. And
Speaker 3: so it's amazing the hypocrisy where the Supreme Court got
Speaker 3: it wrong in eighteen fifty seven dred Scott versus Sanford
Speaker 3: in eighteen fifty seven, and now the liberals are now
Speaker 3: using on the back of an enslaved people, a man
Speaker 3: who fought for his freedoms, saying, now we're gonna use
Speaker 3: this case for those who came here illegally, who have
Speaker 3: a baby, We're gonna call them Americans. But we didn't
Speaker 3: want to call you one, dad and put it in
Speaker 3: your pipe and smoking.
Speaker 1: Exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I you know, I just the horror of that case,
Speaker 2: that the idea that a person a human being, is
Speaker 2: not considered a human being but is considered a piece
Speaker 2: of property. It's just it's so abhorrent. But see that's
Speaker 2: the power of the law. See that dreads Scot's case
Speaker 2: is one of the reasons why I don't believe in
Speaker 2: the death penalty, that the state can take your life
Speaker 2: from you, perhaps in error. And there have been a
Speaker 2: whole bunch of cases where people have been convicted of
Speaker 2: murder and sense of the to the to the to death.
Speaker 2: I want to find out that, oh, I'm sorry, we
Speaker 2: got it wrong, that they could take a life, so
Speaker 2: that the power of the justice is just absolutely amazing.
Speaker 3: Now let me say to you, Brian Thomas, we agree.
Speaker 3: See I agree in that with the death penalty. What
Speaker 3: problem is that the system is broken, meaning meaning the
Speaker 3: flaws of the system because of the human beings involved.
Speaker 3: Got You got nine Supreme Court justices seven to two, right,
Speaker 3: who are saying that dread Scott was not a human being.
Speaker 3: This is an important point I'm trying to make. So
Speaker 3: as the Supreme Court has been making all these decisions
Speaker 3: based on what these local federal judges have been doing,
Speaker 3: meaning you got Democrats who are shopping judges across the
Speaker 3: United States trying to control the White House. It doesn't
Speaker 3: matter to me who's in the White House by Democrat
Speaker 3: or Republican and independent. It's wrong to shop these cases
Speaker 3: to liberal federal judges and them make rulings across the
Speaker 3: entire United States. But then when it gets to the
Speaker 3: Supreme Court, Please don't ever tell me that the Supreme
Speaker 3: Court gets it right all the time. All you have
Speaker 3: to do is look at the dread Scott case and
Speaker 3: see where the Supreme Court rules seven to two that
Speaker 3: dread Scott, an American who was a slave, is never
Speaker 3: ever going to have the rights of an American. You
Speaker 3: will always be property seventy two, which actually started the
Speaker 3: Civil War and the birth of a man called Abraham
Speaker 3: Lincoln who became the President of the United States, which
Speaker 3: ultimately ended with the Emancipation Proclamation June nineteenth, eighteen sixty five,
Speaker 3: which was the birth right of Juneteenth. Every Republican should
Speaker 3: understand Juneteenth. You should embrace juet You should say I
Speaker 3: love Juneteenth. You should go to the Juneteenth celebrations. You
Speaker 3: should put your money behind Junetee. June tenth is your day.
Speaker 3: It's your day that you stood up against Dixiecrats who
Speaker 3: are trying to keep Africans Negroes enslaved as properties forever
Speaker 3: in the United States of America. If the only reason
Speaker 3: we don't understand this is that our school systems, which
Speaker 3: are liberal, do not teach this history to the children.
Speaker 3: They don't want the children to know because they're trying
Speaker 3: to continue to indoctrinate them so that they come out
Speaker 3: as Democrat, not charged with the information to understand. Hey, man,
Speaker 3: Republicans do a lot of great things for African Americans.
Speaker 3: All these things are true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, and you know it's interesting because in the
Speaker 2: past you brought up to in teens, and it seems
Speaker 2: to be only a fairly recent phenomenon that it is
Speaker 2: widely celebrated.
Speaker 1: You grew up in a home that celebrated Juneteenth.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. My parents are from the South, right, My father
Speaker 3: from Birmingham, Alabama, my mother from Montgomery, Alabama. They could
Speaker 3: not go to white institutions. They went to Tuskegee Institute,
Speaker 3: which is now called Tuskegee University. My mother who I'm
Speaker 3: bragging on with Miss Tuskegee because we always tease my dad,
Speaker 3: how could you date our pool in fraying terms? How
Speaker 3: did you get the well? How was your rap game
Speaker 3: so strong that you could land Miss Tuskegee. That's a
Speaker 3: very big deal. Anybody who goes to an HBCU understands
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. But the point that I make it
Speaker 3: you is, yes, we celebrated Juneteenth, and what's happening right
Speaker 3: now is people. I want people to understand that Juneteenth
Speaker 3: and July fourth are not in conflict. These two things
Speaker 3: are not in conflict. And conservatives need to understand Juneteenth,
Speaker 3: the dred Scott case, and they have to understand the
Speaker 3: Tuskegee Syphlis study. And these things should be books and
Speaker 3: all of their homes that they all read to all
Speaker 3: of their children. So they understand those three things, it
Speaker 3: will it will change their life if they understand those
Speaker 3: three those three pieces of history. Forgiving these things, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, you know, I know this this this, yeah,
Speaker 3: this vent might be a little bit, you know, not
Speaker 3: not as like other things. But we have to build
Speaker 3: on these historical things. So people understand when I say, hey,
Speaker 3: dred Scott is being discussed right now for birthright for
Speaker 3: people who came to the country illegally gave birth to
Speaker 3: a child. And now on the backs of ways they're
Speaker 3: trying to say that child is free. When the Supreme
Speaker 3: Court said, no, dred Scott, you'll always be a slave.
Speaker 3: We're never And by the way, he died like like
Speaker 3: they made him a citizen, but he almost died essentially
Speaker 3: in that in that fight, and didn't that struggle. And
Speaker 3: by the way, dred Scott's lawyer was a Republican. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna say that again. Dred Scott's lawyer who fought for
Speaker 3: him was an open.
Speaker 2: Republican, Christopher Smith. And always a pleasure getting the event
Speaker 2: from you, my friend. Appreciate your walking through history. Those
Speaker 2: who do not study history are destined to repeat the
Speaker 2: mistakes of the past.
Speaker 1: Anytime, take your info to go.
Speaker 3: I'm listening powered.
Speaker 1: By fifty five cars. He's the talk station Ato six
Speaker 1: on a Monday, and a happy one to you, Brian Thomas.
Speaker 2: Always looking forward to this time we get to talk
Speaker 2: about money matters with allver financials. Brian James, It is
Speaker 2: time for money Monday. Brian will come back to the
Speaker 2: morning show and happy money to you, sir.
Speaker 6: Good morning, mister Thomas, and back at you, sir.
Speaker 2: Looking at the headlines of the Wall Street General futures
Speaker 2: up just slightly, but across the board in the Green
Speaker 2: I guess the situation in the war with Israel and
Speaker 2: Iran not impacting the markets too much. I guess since
Speaker 2: Israel's dominating Iranian airspace and knocking off targets one by one,
Speaker 2: it looks like that's not going to blow up to
Speaker 2: World War three or something. But at least the markets
Speaker 2: aren't reacting to it.
Speaker 13: Yeah, the mark market seems to be taking it in stride.
Speaker 13: Futures right now are up about anywhere from a half
Speaker 13: to one percent, depending on which one you're looking at. Friday,
Speaker 13: when this all kind of blew up, we had about
Speaker 13: a one to one point seven percent drop in the
Speaker 13: various market in disease, which that's to be expected because
Speaker 13: the market, as we always talk about, the market doesn't
Speaker 13: like unknown stuff. We don't like the unexpected, and we
Speaker 13: certainly don't want wars period, end of story. But at
Speaker 13: the end of the day, the world does keep on
Speaker 13: turning in the face of war, even if you if
Speaker 13: you look at and I don't want to go down
Speaker 13: this path at all, but just to give a little
Speaker 13: bit of historical contact, and again not implying that this
Speaker 13: is happening, but even World War two, most of the
Speaker 13: years of World War two.
Speaker 6: Were positive with regard to the stock market. We don't
Speaker 6: want any of this.
Speaker 13: But if you're sitting there going thinking, well, I can't
Speaker 13: do any about the war anyway, so I'm gonna worry
Speaker 13: about the stuff that they do control, which is my
Speaker 13: own situation. There's nothing going on right now that should
Speaker 13: cause you to rush to the computer or rush to
Speaker 13: the phone, to dump everything you have or put it
Speaker 13: all in gold or any of that kind of stuff.
Speaker 6: It's just more painful.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 13: Let's focus more on the human sacrifice that's occurring than
Speaker 13: the financial because that's not really happening. Anyway, oil prices
Speaker 13: are moving around as would be expected. We did see
Speaker 13: a surge from sixty eight bucks to seventy eight dollars
Speaker 13: a barrel right after the Israel's struck or ins nuclear facilities,
Speaker 13: but then settled back down to about seventy two. You know,
Speaker 13: headlines do fuel this volatility, but history shows us that
Speaker 13: these disruptions for these smaller conflicts are typically pretty short lived.
Speaker 13: Markets pretty have been pretty resilient, so let's not rush
Speaker 13: to any conclusions.
Speaker 1: Fair enough on that.
Speaker 2: And I guess the military industrial complex is always something
Speaker 2: put your money in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, raytheon.
Speaker 12: You know.
Speaker 2: It's like maybe that's one of the reasons the markets
Speaker 2: were stable in World War two, because everybody was churning
Speaker 2: out military hardware.
Speaker 13: Yeah, And I wouldn't say stable, I just mean not
Speaker 13: down for four years straight, you know, of a world war.
Speaker 13: And the reason for that is because generally speaking, anything
Speaker 13: that happens that surprises the world will eventually become a catalyst.
Speaker 13: The catalyst in World War two was, as you just mentioned,
Speaker 13: we became a military industrial complex. General Motors started making
Speaker 13: tanks instead of cars, and the Rubber company started sending
Speaker 13: rubber overseas to the you know, to support the military.
Speaker 13: The end of the day, there's still money moving around.
Speaker 13: There are still consumers who become the government and the military,
Speaker 13: and there are still producers, so the money still flows.
Speaker 13: So that's what keeps economies afloat. And I would even
Speaker 13: throw out, you know, not that long ago with COVID
Speaker 13: in early twenty twenty. COVID made us all think the
Speaker 13: world was going to end. And if you look at
Speaker 13: what the stock market did between February and March of
Speaker 13: twenty twenty, it went off a cliff. But we don't
Speaker 13: remember that because we were all learning that we needed
Speaker 13: to go live in our houses and not come out
Speaker 13: for a while, and that was scarier than looking at
Speaker 13: financial statements. So by the time the dust settled on
Speaker 13: the market panic, then it had become a catalyst. That's
Speaker 13: where Zoom came from. Nobody had really heard of zoom
Speaker 13: much before. We all had to go home and learn
Speaker 13: how to use it. But now it's part of our
Speaker 13: lives and I know that, and I've said this on
Speaker 13: these airwaves before. You know, we all Worth itself had
Speaker 13: to make sure that all of our advisors were able
Speaker 13: to communicate with clients we needed similar desks setups at home.
Speaker 13: That means I have you know, I have a couple
Speaker 13: extra monitors, and you know, all of our employees are
Speaker 13: able to do that. And we're obviously not the only
Speaker 13: company that did that. I know, iHeart had to do
Speaker 13: the same thing as well. So anything that that that
Speaker 13: causes a curveball usually becomes a catalyst for somebody. Somebody's
Speaker 13: going to take advantage of the opportunity to make some money.
Speaker 13: And that's kind of what we're seeing right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, it's like artificial intelligence is changing the world as well,
Speaker 2: and we're all just going to have to roll with
Speaker 2: it and figure out where we are going to be
Speaker 2: in the you know, with with with this new concept
Speaker 2: and this new technology, it's going to change the world.
Speaker 2: Some people are going to lose jobs and others are
Speaker 2: going to be fine and safe and they're in I
Speaker 2: don't know, the impact is going to be far ranging.
Speaker 2: But we tend to adapt, right, I mean, isn't that
Speaker 2: the point We tend to adapt regardless of circumstances.
Speaker 13: Yeah, think of it as an opportunity if if you
Speaker 13: are super close to something that that AI that you
Speaker 13: feel like AI could easily replace you then it might
Speaker 13: be whove you to figure out how to use it
Speaker 13: in your environment to at least stave off what may
Speaker 13: be inevitable. But at the same time, yeah, these these
Speaker 13: it's going to be an opportunity for somebody. So if
Speaker 13: you're if you're if you're again just off to the
Speaker 13: side worrying about AI changing things, well, then look look
Speaker 13: for what the opportunity is going to create. Where is
Speaker 13: it going to drive industry? And you can look at
Speaker 13: any period in the last couple decades and figure out
Speaker 13: what the catalyst was. Goes back, you know, going, I'm
Speaker 13: just going back to you know, twenty five years to
Speaker 13: when the Internet first became a thing and Yahoo and
Speaker 13: America Online were the big things. Well, that changed everything
Speaker 13: that we did. Then it became for a while it
Speaker 13: was real estate, and then that ran us to two
Speaker 13: thousand and eight. We ran that into the ground, and
Speaker 13: then it became mobility, mobile devices, so on and so forth.
Speaker 13: Everything is a catalyst. It creates an opportunity. Don't always
Speaker 13: look at everything the end of something. Look at it
Speaker 13: as the beginning of something as well.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: I understand that in terms of market, we're going to
Speaker 2: get the US retail sales figures out.
Speaker 1: Is that tomorrow?
Speaker 13: Yeah, so big announcements said that that's coming tomorrow. But
Speaker 13: the highlight of the week is gonna be the Federal
Speaker 13: Reserve meeting we've got coming up on June seventeenth, eighteenth.
Speaker 13: This is where char Powell comes out and tells us
Speaker 13: whether he wants higher lower interest rates or no change
Speaker 13: at all. But yes, we've got a number of reports
Speaker 13: coming out this week that will help us with that.
Speaker 13: So we've had some recent soft inflation prints. That's a
Speaker 13: good thing we want that, meaning that, you know, a
Speaker 13: soft inflation print simply means that we were not looking
Speaker 13: at inflation. We're looking at it in a relatively benign manner.
Speaker 13: That has not, however, fundamentally altered what the Fed thinks.
Speaker 13: And there are there are actually a couple Fed governors
Speaker 13: out there who are advocating for no rate cuts at
Speaker 13: all this year. But overall the stance from the Fed
Speaker 13: seems to be we really want to cut rates. It's
Speaker 13: not happening this week, but we do want to drop
Speaker 13: rates a little bit by the end of the year.
Speaker 6: So hopefully we'll st on that pattern. We'll find out
Speaker 6: more later this week.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I think most people want the rate
Speaker 2: cut just because it's going to mean lower mortgage rates.
Speaker 2: That's typically the one ripple effect that we all feel,
Speaker 2: plus the amount of money we pay on our treasury bills.
Speaker 2: Lower is better because we of course continue to borrow
Speaker 2: and borrow and borrow and have to pay off at
Speaker 2: a higher interest rate.
Speaker 1: So a lot of reasons to want it.
Speaker 2: What's going through the Fed's mind in so far as
Speaker 2: them not cutting rates because you know, inflation has been
Speaker 2: comfortable at what two to two point three percent last
Speaker 2: several reports, which is about where they want it. Are
Speaker 2: they afraid that it's just going to go through the
Speaker 2: roof again?
Speaker 13: Well, yeah, they're afraid of setting up, you know, lighting
Speaker 13: that fuse because it can go quickly. As you just mentioned,
Speaker 13: there are plenty of people out there who really, really
Speaker 13: super want rate cuts. And the definition of that is
Speaker 13: anybody who bought a new house in the last three
Speaker 13: years and had to get a mortgage against it. Yeah,
Speaker 13: because they're paying six to seven percent. But the Federal
Speaker 13: Reserve is still looking at it won't take much to
Speaker 13: pop this off again, because there's enough unrest and enough
Speaker 13: crazy in the world. I mean, look at what we
Speaker 13: just got done talking about there's conflict in the world
Speaker 13: that we'll directly impact oil prices, and it is a
Speaker 13: little bit, you know, not to the point where we
Speaker 13: have to be alarmed yet, but at the same time,
Speaker 13: that's something that obviously will drive inflation. If we have
Speaker 13: this conflict spreads and we wind up with inflation in
Speaker 13: oil prices, that's going to trickle through to everything else
Speaker 13: and compound what has already been going on for five
Speaker 13: years as a result of the of the COVID pandemic.
Speaker 13: So yes, the Federal Reserve is super, super super cautious.
Speaker 13: When they say they want two percent, they want two.
Speaker 13: They don't want two point three, they don't want two
Speaker 13: in a quarter, they want two percent inflation. If we're
Speaker 13: not there, then their concern is anything we do to
Speaker 13: possibly trigger it to go the wrong direction is dangerous.
Speaker 1: Okay, help me understand this.
Speaker 2: I would think that higher prices and of course everything's
Speaker 2: connected to oil. I means stating the obvious everything we
Speaker 2: buy has been shipped somewhere through a semi tractor trailer
Speaker 2: or or something else. So we're enjoying you know, I
Speaker 2: saw the sign on the door Kroger over the weekend.
Speaker 2: You know, if one thousand products lower prices and maybe
Speaker 2: the result the reason we've getting we're going to lower
Speaker 2: prices at the grocery store because it's causing Kroger less
Speaker 2: money to ship things. That suggests more consumption. I mean,
Speaker 2: the prices are lower, aren't people engaged in more economic activity?
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. I'm just trying to walk
Speaker 2: through this. How this impacts in the inflation rate?
Speaker 13: Well, I think, but I think we're all on edge
Speaker 13: a little bit, right because because not just the FED
Speaker 13: is concerned about the current economic situation, it's just people
Speaker 13: in general. So you know, I think Kroger is somewhat
Speaker 13: taking advantage of that and any anything, anytime you can
Speaker 13: shine a light on, hey, we are working to reduce prices.
Speaker 13: I've never I saw one of those banners yesterday for
Speaker 13: the first time. I assume they're on all the Kroger's
Speaker 13: out there. But I think you can figure out right away,
Speaker 13: you know, that they haven't found a way to suddenly
Speaker 13: produce everything they do, you know, cheaper. They just perhaps
Speaker 13: have found an opportunity here and there to lower some prices,
Speaker 13: and they're going to shine a bright light on that.
Speaker 13: Maybe they do that all the time, but they don't
Speaker 13: hang banners on the building. The banners, to me are
Speaker 13: a different approach, right, So that just tells me that
Speaker 13: they that they're they're they're looking at their customer base,
Speaker 13: which is all of us, and they're saying that, you
Speaker 13: know what, these people are really really super hypersensitive to
Speaker 13: inflation right now. So any positive step we can take,
Speaker 13: let's shine a very bright light on it. They've probably
Speaker 13: cut prices like this in the past, but haven't hung
Speaker 13: the banners or done the commercials because it wasn't a
Speaker 13: focus of the buying public.
Speaker 6: Well now it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think we're all painfully aware of how
Speaker 2: much more food and groceries costs generally speaking, and over
Speaker 2: the last several years. I mean we still it just
Speaker 2: boggles my mind because I go grocery shopping with my
Speaker 2: wife every single weekend and I'm still just amazed at
Speaker 2: the cost of like, for example, beef.
Speaker 1: It's just like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: So anyhow, maybe it's just a marketing thing going on
Speaker 2: at Kroger's.
Speaker 1: Let's pause. Bring Brian James back.
Speaker 2: I want to mention doctor Fred Pack saw doctor Pack
Speaker 2: last Friday had my semi annual cleaning, and I know
Speaker 2: a lot of people don't like to go to the dentist.
Speaker 2: I just really I like it. Can you walk out,
Speaker 2: you know, all cleaned up, got a good check up,
Speaker 2: everything's good. And of course doctors Peck and Frew will
Speaker 2: take amazing care of you as general dentists, they are outstanding.
Speaker 2: The whole after there were just really wonderful. It's welcoming,
Speaker 2: it's comfortable. If so, if you're a little unsettled about
Speaker 2: going to the dentists, generally you're in the best possible
Speaker 2: hands and pivoting over the best possible hands cosmetic dentistry.

Speaker 2: of Cosmetic Dentistry and doctor Frew working on her way
Speaker 2: to accreditation. You got years of his professional experience at
Speaker 2: her fresh perspectives. Folks love doctor Frux. She is such
Speaker 2: a really charming and wonderful lady. Not to discount Fredpack.

Speaker 2: Ohio that have made it to that lofty position because
Speaker 2: he does remarkable, life changing cosmetic dentistry. So if you're

Speaker 2: Money Matters.
Speaker 1: Brian James Smallworth Financial. It is money Monday.
Speaker 2: But back to the FED cutting or not, as the
Speaker 2: case may be, the interest rate. I know you seem
Speaker 2: to suggest that it's unlikely that it's gonna happen, and
Speaker 2: I understand your point behind that. Clearly, it's not going
Speaker 2: to be a point. I know Donald Trump was screaming
Speaker 2: about them cutting the rates a full point. I mean,
Speaker 2: if there's any cuts, I mean we're probably talking like
Speaker 2: maybe a quarter, right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, if we're lucky at that.
Speaker 13: So right now, there's a handful of people out there
Speaker 13: who believe there might be a modest cup. But I
Speaker 13: think I think those people aren't talking about this meeting
Speaker 13: or this week's meeting. They're talking about the next move
Speaker 13: will be down. We just don't know when it is,
Speaker 13: So that is generally accepted. There's not a whole lot
Speaker 13: going out there with trigger the opposite. So I don't
Speaker 13: think that's exactly worth shattering to say. But the vast
Speaker 13: majority of folks, though, I really don't believe that that's
Speaker 13: coming anytime soon. And whenever we've got scary headlines, that's
Speaker 13: going to cause everybody to pause.
Speaker 6: And there's certainly enough going on in the middle EA
Speaker 6: right now that's going to.
Speaker 13: Make everybody say, you know, let's take a breath and
Speaker 13: just kind of watch and see what comes of this.
Speaker 1: Then we'll make decisions. So if we were at.
Speaker 13: A full two percent, like like the FED truly truly
Speaker 13: really wants, then we might be having a different conversation.
Speaker 13: But I think we're close enough now that I think
Speaker 13: the risk that they sort of perceived that the risk
Speaker 13: is in screwing out the progress as that has been made,
Speaker 13: not so much in being a little late for that
Speaker 13: final couple of rate cuts.
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, and with regard to the oil
Speaker 2: oil prices, are up merely because of what might happen
Speaker 2: in the Middle East. More broadly speaking, I mean, there
Speaker 2: are a bunch of OPAC nations. We all know where
Speaker 2: that oil comes from, and because they're in the area
Speaker 2: of the conflict between Israel and Iran? Is that it
Speaker 2: because the amount of oil that's in the market hasn't changed,
Speaker 2: has it because Irani and oil I thought that were
Speaker 2: subject to sanction, not supposed to be able to sell it.
Speaker 2: So even if you took Iran completely offline, would that
Speaker 2: have an impact on supplies globally?
Speaker 13: I mean, and anything's going to impact, right, you've changed
Speaker 13: any of the pipelines there, any of the prem missions
Speaker 13: that who you know of who who gets to work
Speaker 13: with whom, then then yeah, that's going to have an impact.
Speaker 13: But I think that the larger issue is that people
Speaker 13: aren't focused on it as much. I mean, think about this.
Speaker 13: We oil prices have been really have really been benign.
Speaker 13: And what I'm really talking about is the price at
Speaker 13: the pump, because that's the first thing we all see, right,
Speaker 13: that's right in your face. At least once a week,
Speaker 13: you have to look at it, You are required to
Speaker 13: look at it. Versus if I grab a loaf of
Speaker 13: bread off the shelf. I'm not necessarily going to look
Speaker 13: at the price tag there, but we all see gas
Speaker 13: prices immediately. That has been pretty benign, and frankly it's
Speaker 13: the last couple of years. This wasn't an issue last year.
Speaker 13: This is usually the time of year where politicians point
Speaker 13: across the aisle from whichever side and blame the opposite
Speaker 13: side for whatever's going on at the gas pump. Right now,
Speaker 13: there's nothing going on at the gas pump, so nobody's
Speaker 13: really talking about it. And I think there our past
Speaker 13: history of looking at the Middle East as the only
Speaker 13: area that can swing oil prices in one way or another.
Speaker 13: It doesn't have the same impact that it used to,
Speaker 13: and I'm not diminishing it. It's certainly the biggest, you know,
Speaker 13: the biggest organization and in the world, with Opak and
Speaker 13: all those countries out there, But with the progress that
Speaker 13: has been made in fracking in the United States, yeah,
Speaker 13: US is one of the largest producers of oil now,
Speaker 13: so we're able to moderate that as now that we
Speaker 13: are a bigger participating producer in that oil market, so
Speaker 13: those smaller regional conflicts don't have the huge impact that
Speaker 13: they used to still big, but not as big.
Speaker 2: Well in Canada also fracs as well. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: amazing what fracking is done, and it's amazing when you
Speaker 2: talk about it along those lines. The United States is
Speaker 2: now the biggest oil producer. I mean, I live most
Speaker 2: of my life through the whole idea that we've reached
Speaker 2: peak oil and that we no longer have and it's
Speaker 2: a diminishing supply. The vast majority of the concept of
Speaker 2: diminishing supply was brought about by well regulation and just
Speaker 2: simply outright refusal to allow us to drill on our
Speaker 2: own land.
Speaker 1: I mean it used to be I think.
Speaker 13: No, I'm no oil expert, but my understanding and my
Speaker 13: tiny monkey brain here of how I understand this is
Speaker 13: that when I grew up, I believe that that oil
Speaker 13: existed as giant lakes in holes in the ground, and
Speaker 13: it was just a pure, big puddle of oil, and
Speaker 13: we sucked it all out. Yeah, now, and so that
Speaker 13: was the concern. Those pockets were going away, we were
Speaker 13: going to deplete them. But then you know, as as
Speaker 13: soon as we figured that out, then once we figured
Speaker 13: fracking out, now we can suck it out of the
Speaker 13: cracks a little more efficiently. And if you read the
Speaker 13: stories of how fracking came to be, there's one guy
Speaker 13: behind all of it who didn't make an extra nickel
Speaker 13: for coming up with this idea. But in any case,
Speaker 13: the originally had to pump chemicals down into the ground
Speaker 13: to flush this stuff out. Then they had to process
Speaker 13: it and get those chemicals back out, and then they
Speaker 13: tried to decided to try, well, let's just do this
Speaker 13: with water because it's cheaper, and so that was a
Speaker 13: cheaper process and a better process. Then they found a
Speaker 13: way to do it without any extra anything. So progress
Speaker 13: and technology always are moving us forward, and that has
Speaker 13: literally changed what we know as the.
Speaker 2: Oil markets amen to that and have entthusians out there.
Speaker 2: You know, we were able to create more food through
Speaker 2: use of technology and advancement in fertilizers and things of
Speaker 2: that nature too. So technology does play an amazing role
Speaker 2: in shifting the reality is of what people claim is
Speaker 2: an absolute crisis at any given moment. Brian James, I
Speaker 2: understand more people are claiming social security. Getting back over
Speaker 2: to your role in helping folks plan for retirement, we'll
Speaker 2: talk about that coming up one more with Brian James
Speaker 2: and Money Monday. First, some pleasant words for Gate of
Speaker 2: Heaven Cemetery, and you know, it is a beautiful place.
Speaker 2: I think we all need an opportunity to unwind. And

Speaker 14: krs the talk station.
Speaker 2: AY twenty nine on a Monday. One more segment here
Speaker 2: with Money Monday's Brian James.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: My initial reaction to the topic more people claiming social
Speaker 2: security is like, well, that makes sense because the baby
Speaker 2: boomers are all reaching retirement age. But the key point
Speaker 2: I think in this whole article is now people are
Speaker 2: claiming it earlier than the retirement age, because you and
Speaker 2: I both have talked about this many times, and anybody
Speaker 2: who's paid attention interestingly enough, Brian, I got my you know,
Speaker 2: the Social Security note you get which tells you what
Speaker 2: you should anticipate at retirement age, and you know if
Speaker 2: you wait longer, the amount of money you can get
Speaker 2: if you delay it till like seventy two, increases pretty substantially.
Speaker 2: But notwithstanding that, more people are taking it earlier.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Quick correction there, it's not seventy two, it's seventy is
Speaker 13: the oldest seventy I'm sorry. Yeah, thank you, appreciate that
Speaker 13: you're here for job security for me.
Speaker 6: Thank you, sir.
Speaker 13: Put food on my table for a while, one more
Speaker 13: night anyway. Yeah, so this article comes from the San
Speaker 13: Francisco Chronicle. Obviously, social security is a federal ban, meaning
Speaker 13: it applies to everybody, but the San Francisco Chronicles one
Speaker 13: who did the homework this time around. They looked at
Speaker 13: a period from October to April and saw a thirteen
Speaker 13: percent year over year increase in claims. Many of those
Speaker 13: individuals are opting to claim benefits before having reached full
Speaker 13: retirement age of sixty seven. So full retirement age is
Speaker 13: sixty six to sixty seven, depending.
Speaker 6: On the month and year in which you were born.
Speaker 13: But their point is most people are a lot more
Speaker 13: people are claiming it a little bit earlier.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 13: The interesting thing that caught my eye on this is
Speaker 13: the timing. So from October to April, think about what
Speaker 13: has happened then that during that time period we got
Speaker 13: the most rhetoric we've ever gotten out of DC about
Speaker 13: potential changes to Social Security. So my uneducated opinion, which
Speaker 13: comes from sitting at this table doing financial planning and
Speaker 13: answering questions basically all day every day, is that a
Speaker 13: lot of people out there went, you know what, Social
Speaker 13: Security has a hole in the bucket. It doesn't work anyway.
Speaker 13: They I'm sure they're going to be changing it at
Speaker 13: some point. So people decided have decided to turn on
Speaker 13: this bigot a little earlier. Again, I can verify that
Speaker 13: with conversations with my clients themselves.
Speaker 6: You know, and we always run a financial plan.
Speaker 13: To see is it going to hurt them to sacrifice
Speaker 13: that eight percent increase that you get if you don't.
Speaker 13: And in a lot of cases they've decided, you know,
Speaker 13: what the heck with that bird in the hand versus
Speaker 13: two in the bush, I'd rather turn on this bigot
Speaker 13: now than take the risk. I am not yet jumping
Speaker 13: up and down telling people you need to go do
Speaker 13: this now because they're gonna.
Speaker 6: Take it away. That's not gonna happen anyway.
Speaker 13: I still feel like there's going to be time to
Speaker 13: figure out what changes might might be coming.
Speaker 6: So I not quite a crisis.
Speaker 13: But again, it is interesting to say that more people
Speaker 13: are willing to fire file earlier than there have been
Speaker 13: in the past.
Speaker 2: Well, and the panic that people have is a consequence
Speaker 2: of something happening to social security. I mean, I get that.
Speaker 2: I think it's a big royal scam. We've all been
Speaker 2: led to believe that we're going to be comfortable in
Speaker 2: our retirements thanks to the government and our paying into
Speaker 2: so security across our entire lives. But that leads people
Speaker 2: into a false into security, and it sort of suggests
Speaker 2: that you don't need to prepare for your own retirement
Speaker 2: independent of Social Security. That's where your job comes in.
Speaker 2: But I mean, I talk about panic in the streets.
Speaker 2: If social Security went away, how many people would be rioting?
Speaker 13: Yeah, And that's why I'm really not worried about that happening,
Speaker 13: because at the end of the day, we still live
Speaker 13: in a republic where where everybody who makes the decisions
Speaker 13: that impacts people's daily lives, those folks have to run
Speaker 13: for reelection at least every two years, sometimes six years,
Speaker 13: depending on what you're talking about. But so I still
Speaker 13: have to assume that if they decide to punch the
Speaker 13: voting public in the face, they are realizing that they
Speaker 13: could be ending their political careers.
Speaker 6: Maybe that's their intent.
Speaker 13: Who knows, Maybe they just want to get their shots
Speaker 13: in and move away based off of their their political
Speaker 13: belief I don't think that's gonna be the case. Though
Speaker 13: pretty lucrative to be a congressional leader here. So I'm
Speaker 13: not overly concerned that we are going to have an
Speaker 13: environment where there is no social security because that is
Speaker 13: the one of the largest chunks of our population. We
Speaker 13: have an aging population, so the people who are receiving
Speaker 13: those dollars in real time are the ones who are
Speaker 13: going to get out there and vote. Because they're paying attention,
Speaker 13: you can probably do more damage to the younger generations. Unfortunately,
Speaker 13: that's not a good thing. But I think that if
Speaker 13: we have to sacrifice something, it's probably going to lean
Speaker 13: that direction. However, realistically, I think we're going to eventually
Speaker 13: we're going to realize that, hey, this just doesn't work.
Speaker 13: We can get away with it a few more years. Right,
Speaker 13: We're not in dire straits yet, but if nothing else
Speaker 13: is done, then the only change that needs to be
Speaker 13: made is benefits need to be reduced by about thirty percent,
Speaker 13: which is a chunk, don't get me wrong. However, it's
Speaker 13: not one hundred percent. That's the tweet you see. That's
Speaker 13: the headline. Social Security is going bankrupt. No, that's not
Speaker 13: the case. There is simply in about seven or eight years,
Speaker 13: there will be less coming in than is going out.
Speaker 13: That's the issue. But that doesn't mean there'll be nothing
Speaker 13: coming in. I guarantee you your paycheck will still have
Speaker 13: a fight a line on it in twenty thirty three.
Speaker 13: You'll still be paying payroll taxes.
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, But you know the panic and concern over
Speaker 2: it might end up getting more people to start, you know,
Speaker 2: preparing for their own retirement on using their own means
Speaker 2: and allocating more of their salary to a retirement program
Speaker 2: and investing it so they have something they can independently
Speaker 2: have in their corner when they get to retirement age.
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, no, hopefully, I hope so, I hope that
Speaker 13: will be the reaction. And Social Security was never intended
Speaker 13: to be. It's not comfortable retirement security. It's social security
Speaker 13: meaning a way to put a meal on the table.
Speaker 13: That's really all it was ever intended to be. It's
Speaker 13: now become something that can supplement a comfortable retirement and
Speaker 13: make it even more comfortable. And yeah, it's got a
Speaker 13: different role than it did it originally had when it
Speaker 13: came out, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: Well in the world when Social Security was created, there
Speaker 2: are a whole lot more pensions out there with the
Speaker 2: employers providing you know, that independent means of money in
Speaker 2: senior years, and those have all gone the way of
Speaker 2: the dead, or at least the vast majority of them have.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 2: Brian James always a wonderful conversation. Appreciate all financial loading
Speaker 2: you out every Monday for a few segments and I'll
Speaker 2: look forward to another edition of Money Monday next Monday.
Speaker 6: Have a great week, have a good week, stay in

Speaker 2: Hey if you're forty I fifty five KARROSD talk station. Happy,
Speaker 2: Happy Monday. Returning. We've been talking to Todd Sledge from
Speaker 2: the sinc ANIAVA for years and I'm going to miss
Speaker 2: when you retire, Todd. But welcome back to the morning show.
Speaker 2: And you got some information from my veteran friends. And
Speaker 2: let me start with a question from Patrick, who's a listener.
Speaker 2: Ask the VA folks if they have an et A
Speaker 2: for the Vine Street Hospitals main elevators repair slash replacement.
Speaker 2: I don't want to catch you off guard, Todd, welcome back,
Speaker 2: but do you know the answer to that question?
Speaker 15: Well, I wish I had an answer. Brian the project's
Speaker 15: taken a little bit longer than we expected to relate
Speaker 15: it to parts, oh that we can't get. Yeah, these elevators,
Speaker 15: you know, these elevator shafts date back to the nineteen
Speaker 15: fifties and so you know they've been maintained and repaired
Speaker 15: over the many, many years. But yeah, it's a it's
Speaker 15: a part issue because of the uniqueness. Yeah, the uniqueness
Speaker 15: of these elevators. But hopefully we'll get those back up
Speaker 15: and run. And we had a we had some flooding
Speaker 15: to go through some of the shafts several weeks ago. Yeah,
Speaker 15: still we're maintaining the other We got other elevators that
Speaker 15: folks can use, but they're not as uh, they're not
Speaker 15: as convenient for our veterans as they need to be.
Speaker 15: But yeah, we're aggressively working on that issue.
Speaker 1: Okay, now I'm sure you are.
Speaker 2: It's just you know, I'm I don't know that I'm
Speaker 2: shocked to find out that, you know, parts aren't available
Speaker 2: for something that was built that long ago. Is that
Speaker 2: just may guess that makes sense, but repair they must.
Speaker 2: So anyhow, we have two things to talk about, because
Speaker 2: they sound similar, but they're completely different. The Compact Rack
Speaker 2: and the packed. So let's remind my listeners in the
Speaker 2: veteran community about the Compact Act what it's all about
Speaker 2: and what they need to know.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I'm glad we start with that when first, Brian,
Speaker 15: because I know, I know you've always stressed the importance
Speaker 15: of veterans to seek out their mental health needs amen
Speaker 15: from us, you know, when it's needed. And so the
Speaker 15: Compact Act was a major legislative change, one of the
Speaker 15: two that we're going to talk about today, that occurred
Speaker 15: roughly about over a little over a year ago, where
Speaker 15: at any time when a veteran is in distress, suicidal ideation,
Speaker 15: having to do some mental health issues that are just
Speaker 15: you know, disrupting their life, instead of needing to get
Speaker 15: directly to a VA for care in that immediate time
Speaker 15: and urgency, they can go anywhere in the community to
Speaker 15: get that care and get stabilized to where they are
Speaker 15: more comfortable, they're out of the situations that they're in,
Speaker 15: and then that community hospital, that private hospital, or that
Speaker 15: health agency will work with us to get the veterans
Speaker 15: transferred over to the right VA care. All of that
Speaker 15: is at no cost. So that's the big that's the
Speaker 15: biggest change. So the two biggest changes under the Compact
Speaker 15: Act are the convenience of getting the kindly care that
Speaker 15: you needed no cost to the veteran. And to date,
Speaker 15: since this legislation went in, we've helped closely over eleven
Speaker 15: hundred veterans in doing that. So that's that's been a big,
Speaker 15: big boat bonus for us and also our veterans in
Speaker 15: the community when they need to care at the right time.
Speaker 2: That's great, and that's the opportunity to remind folks. I
Speaker 2: interviewed a guy named Taylor Gray, veteran, and he apparently
Speaker 2: was a Delta Force just constantly adrenaline filled in doing
Speaker 2: all kinds of dangerous combat missions, and he got severely
Speaker 2: wounded in one of his operations, and of course he
Speaker 2: wasn't able to continue service. He could not deal with
Speaker 2: what you and I deal with on a day to
Speaker 2: day basis, which is a low key, for comparatively low
Speaker 2: stress environment. So he had to kind of work through
Speaker 2: his problems and figure out why he was what he was.
Speaker 2: But self destructive behavior, your substance abuse, issues with you know, relationships,
Speaker 2: and so he really told a great story about exactly
Speaker 2: what so many veterans are experiencing, so you've got the
Speaker 2: help there at the VA with the Compact Act. You
Speaker 2: of course have the Veterans Crisis Line which is ninety
Speaker 2: eight eight and then press one when you get connected.
Speaker 2: That's an instant opportunity. But you know, understanding the Compact
Speaker 2: Act and knowing that the good people at the VA
Speaker 2: are there for your mental health is just a great thing.
Speaker 2: And I'm glad you're able to bring that up and
Speaker 2: can get a copy of Forged in Chaos by Tyler
Speaker 2: Gray on my website. All right, let's pivot over to
Speaker 2: the Packed Act. Something completely different.
Speaker 15: Yeah, something completely different. And then it was out before
Speaker 15: the Compact Act. And this relates back to a couple
Speaker 15: of years ago where we really were stressing veterans to
Speaker 15: the It changed enrollment number one for certain level of veterans,
Speaker 15: but also the toxic exposures that veterans had been exposed to,
Speaker 15: whether you were in combat or not in combat, you know,
Speaker 15: the different exposures that are military folks Brian are exposed
Speaker 15: to on a daily basis. This is what the VA
Speaker 15: wanted to focus on. You know, you're talking not beyond
Speaker 15: the big ones, the burn pits, the oil fires and
Speaker 15: agent orange. There's pesticides, diesel fuel, jet fuel, the different
Speaker 15: cleaning solutions things on Navy ships. So all these things
Speaker 15: you know, could have a result into some future medical
Speaker 15: condition that you know. There's no family history too, it's
Speaker 15: not tied to anything other than your exposure in the military.
Speaker 15: So that healthcare piece of it getting a toxic exposure
Speaker 15: screen which is a simple questionnaire type screening that goes
Speaker 15: through your primary care physician at the VA, and then
Speaker 15: the other side of that is sitting down and talking
Speaker 15: with a certified veteran service officer. I focus a lot
Speaker 15: about going to the county offices Hamilton County, Claremont County,
Speaker 15: and Butler County as well to talk to those folks
Speaker 15: about filing for any type of level of disability compensation
Speaker 15: that could be related to that toxic exposure. And for
Speaker 15: some veterans who are who unfortunately don't become eligible because
Speaker 15: of various things, a PACKDACK submission, a new rating of
Speaker 15: some sort can get that veteran the care in the
Speaker 15: VA that they get the result to. So again it's
Speaker 15: a little complex. This is why I wanted to focus
Speaker 15: on these things. But come and talk to our experts
Speaker 15: about those, particularly a pack deck, because I have seen major,
Speaker 15: major influences, major changes happen with veterans changing their life,
Speaker 15: not also you know, monetarily with their compensation and disability,
Speaker 15: but the healthcare that's related to that's very important. And
Speaker 15: two of the big major ones a lot of veterans
Speaker 15: I've learned as a result of toxic toxic exposure is
Speaker 15: ryaniis and cyanidis. Oh, you know, just totally out of
Speaker 15: the blue. You know, it's like, never had these problems
Speaker 15: before I went in. There's no family history to it,
Speaker 15: and it's a lot of that's related to the toxic exposures.
Speaker 2: Oh about that, and you know that's obviously something that
Speaker 2: would not come immediately to mind, right exactly.
Speaker 15: Well, and that's that's the point of the packed Does
Speaker 15: a lot of these i'll call secondary or they call
Speaker 15: associated conditions you would never think would be related to
Speaker 15: just normal stuff. You just think, God, I'm getting older,
Speaker 15: you know, and the allergies or whatever in the air.
Speaker 15: But a lot of these things could be related to
Speaker 15: that veteran's military experience based upon the territory they were in,
Speaker 15: the chemicals that they were possibly exposed to, relate it
Speaker 15: to their military service or their daily mos job that they.
Speaker 1: Had fair enough.
Speaker 2: Well, coming up, we'll take a break care bring Todd
Speaker 2: Sledge from the Sincinntiva back talking about a new pilot effort,
Speaker 2: technology based pilot effort plus phone number and information about
Speaker 2: how you can apply for your VA benefits or sign
Speaker 2: up for them if you're eligible. Eight forty seven. Right
Speaker 2: now fifty five kre City talk stations stick around.
Speaker 8: Fifty five KRC.
Speaker 2: Men, when we're look at the weather this morning, got
Speaker 2: a partly cloudy, downer hands ada am, mid afternoon, possible
Speaker 2: storms eighty three for a high tonight, partly cloudy overnight
Speaker 2: with a slight chance of showers, low of sixty five,
Speaker 2: some sun tomorrow, but twelve by a possible chance of
Speaker 2: a storm. Eighty six for the high. Clouds over night
Speaker 2: but dry and the low sixty nine and a partly
Speaker 2: cloudy Wednesday going up to eighty six degrees.
Speaker 1: Closing out at seventy two. Time for final traffic.
Speaker 14: Chucks from the UCUP Traffic Center. Right now, over one
Speaker 14: hundred thousand people are waiting and hoping for an organ
Speaker 14: transplant to save them. I sign up to be an
Speaker 14: organ donor or explore living donation at u see health
Speaker 14: dot com. Slash transplant sethbound seventy time continues to slow
Speaker 14: dust of it coming out of Blackland. Otherwise traffic in
Speaker 14: pretty good shape, no longer a delay or problem. He's
Speaker 14: bound two seventy five year four also looks good. Mostellar
Speaker 14: forty two Chuck ing ram Mon fifty five krs the
Speaker 14: talk station.
Speaker 2: Hey fifty one if you have KR City talk station
Speaker 2: Bright Thomas with since ava's Todds led talking about veterans
Speaker 2: benefits of what's available for you with the VA. You
Speaker 2: earn these benefits and take advantage of them, and for
Speaker 2: those that haven't taken advantage of enrolling in the get
Speaker 2: to get their VA benefits. I understand you got a
Speaker 2: new pilot program to try to track them down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we do, Brian.
Speaker 15: You know you and I together have collectively worked on
Speaker 15: trying to make sure we all of our veterans aware
Speaker 15: of their benefits. And I've always appreciated that relationship with
Speaker 15: you and I love it so for the me too,
Speaker 15: absolutely me too. So for the last two years, this
Speaker 15: is nothing new to the to the new to the
Speaker 15: marketing world, but for the last two years, I've been
Speaker 15: trying to find a company that specifically could give me
Speaker 15: data on households of veterans here in the Tri State
Speaker 15: area through a through a customer resource management system, which
Speaker 15: is every business uses, and we finally found one and
Speaker 15: they were able to identify veteran households here in the
Speaker 15: Tri State area, which we serve fifteen counties Brian that
Speaker 15: you know, through three different states, Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio.
Speaker 15: And with this program, with that veteran data, we're able
Speaker 15: to now and text messages directly to veterans that are
Speaker 15: not enrolled in VA and ask them if they would
Speaker 15: like to be contacted about their benefits, and if they
Speaker 15: press one, we get that data back and then we
Speaker 15: will be reaching out to them and scheduling them appointments
Speaker 15: to see in eligibility specialists at the closest community based
Speaker 15: out patient clinic that we have. This is a game changer.
Speaker 15: I didn't really realize how much possible data was out there,
Speaker 15: but our first round of this pilot, that was close
Speaker 15: to thirty thousand pieces of data of veteran households that
Speaker 15: we could reach and there's about fifteen thousand, or almost
Speaker 15: half of that data of veterans who are not enrolled
Speaker 15: that are interested. So you know, our current marker of
Speaker 15: treating forty three thousand veterans. We have the potential of
Speaker 15: finding those veterans that are not using us, engaging them
Speaker 15: and getting them into the healthcare system for various kinds
Speaker 15: of things that they can use us for. Because I'm
Speaker 15: always talking about how the VA can fit into that
Speaker 15: personal healthcare portfolio. Benefit non insurance has a benefit to them,
Speaker 15: and we're really excited about this. So if veterans, if
Speaker 15: you're received a text message it seems suspicious, we all
Speaker 15: get those, Brian, we all get these.
Speaker 2: Really, that's exactly what I was thinking of, Todd Tech Fridays, Dave.
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, so we we're what we've done, We've taken
Speaker 15: this a step further. If you've gotten a text message
Speaker 15: that talked about being a veteran and talking about the
Speaker 15: Cincinnati VA, you can go to our website and on
Speaker 15: our eligibility section you will see that we are validating
Speaker 15: that yes, this is coming directly from us, and this
Speaker 15: is real, and we wud love for you to respond.
Speaker 2: Well, and you know, the impetus to get to the
Speaker 2: VA's website. If you get a text message, you always
Speaker 2: can't trust that it's actually coming from the original source,
Speaker 2: but you're reminding them that you're eligible for VA benefits,
Speaker 2: and that might prompt them to go directly to the source,
Speaker 2: which is the VA website, which address you're going to
Speaker 2: give here in a second when I shut up, that
Speaker 2: will be a benefit even if they choose not to
Speaker 2: click the one on the link. I mean, that's just
Speaker 2: putting them in contact with you directly.
Speaker 15: Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Our website is very simple with Cincinnati
Speaker 15: dot VA dot gov. The three top things that folks
Speaker 15: are very interested and looking on our website as where
Speaker 15: locations of our care are and and our healthcare services
Speaker 15: and also the eligibility. So all of that's wrapped into that.
Speaker 15: But we wanted to make sure because I've got veterans
Speaker 15: in my office, They're like, tod I'd get these messages.
Speaker 15: I don't know if they're real or not exactly, So
Speaker 15: we wanted to take the take the extra step the
Speaker 15: valid data to say, yes, we are reaching out to
Speaker 15: do we want to hear film med you, and.
Speaker 3: We're excited to continue. I'm still about the personal touch,
Speaker 3: and this is why we'd have live people will be
Speaker 3: following up with these veterans that press one and a
Speaker 3: live person is going to be scheduling you with a
Speaker 3: live person on another end to talk with you about
Speaker 3: your eligibility.
Speaker 1: That's that's great.
Speaker 2: I know you're all about personal service, Todd Sledge, and
Speaker 2: I truly appreciate what you do on behalf of the
Speaker 2: veteran community, a lot of whom in my listening audience
Speaker 2: since a VA dot go get your benefits. And I'll
Speaker 2: just put a shout out to the various Veteran Service
Speaker 2: Commissions in the various counties because they can help you
Speaker 2: navigate any challenges you might come up with with enrolling
Speaker 2: for VA. But I know Todd and the team they
Speaker 2: are trying to make it as easy as possible. Todd,
Speaker 2: always a pleasure talking with you. Thanks again for what
Speaker 2: you're doing for the veteran community.
Speaker 15: Yeah you too, Brian appreciate the relationship. And if I
Speaker 15: get an update on the elevator status between now and
Speaker 15: our next time, I will definitely let you know. Sir
