Speaker 1: talk station, Happy Monday, try to get entoosed. It was
Speaker 1: a vacation, little Irish music there. It looked like the
Speaker 1: UH since any the the the parade over the weekend
Speaker 1: on Saturday, I had a little prieve with the weather
Speaker 1: God shone down upon and smiled upon the UH Saint
Speaker 1: Patrick's Day Parade and down then Cincinnati. Fortunately anyhow, maybe
Speaker 1: you were part of that, don't know. And if you
Speaker 1: want to call the fifty five case morn sh always
Speaker 1: welcome phone calls. Maybe something on your mind, you want
Speaker 1: to talk about what's going on in the world, maybe
Speaker 1: here locally five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,
Speaker 1: eight hundred eighty two to three talk on five fifty
Speaker 1: on AT and T phones, fifty five Caresey dot com.
Speaker 1: And you can't listen live, check out the podcast page.
Speaker 1: Lots of great stuff going on over there. And of course,
Speaker 1: as always Brian Thomas here thanking Joe Strecker, the executi
Speaker 1: producer of the program for lining up guests, most notably
Speaker 1: last week, A whole bunch of great guests last week.
Speaker 1: I always enjoy talking to folks and UH today more
Speaker 1: the same coming up at seven oh five an opportunity
Speaker 1: for job the Tools Program. Yes, they have got a
Speaker 1: fundraiser at top Golf. What is a Tools Program? Well
Speaker 1: to nationally recognized program connecting schools and contractors throughout the
Speaker 1: Ohio Valley which provides contractors with a pipeline that allows
Speaker 1: them to get involved with their communities and generate new employees.
Speaker 1: Lots of opportunities in the trades. And that's one thing
Speaker 1: you can't you don't have to worry about artificial intelligence
Speaker 1: the trades. AI cannot fix your sink. Think about that,
Speaker 1: and great opportunities for really, you know, career employment opportunities.
Speaker 1: So we'll talk to Nick Smiley, executive director of the
Speaker 1: Tools Program, at seven oh five, followed by of course
Speaker 1: it's Monday. Former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati
Speaker 1: joins a program every Monday at seven point twenty to
Speaker 1: vent his spleen. We call it this Smither event from
Speaker 1: Christopher Smithman eight o five. Most every Monday. Today is
Speaker 1: one of those days. Monday Monday with Brian James. With
Speaker 1: all this tariff talk, experts say, don't panic. Topic number one,
Speaker 1: buy so or hold? What to do with a plummeting
Speaker 1: stock after saying don't panic. And then finally one in
Speaker 1: three have been a victim of a financial scan. Not
Speaker 1: shocking considering what we learn from tech Friday's Day Hatter
Speaker 1: every single Friday. Again, that's a podcast worth listening to
Speaker 1: if you can't listen live fast forward to eight thirty.
Speaker 1: Doctor Catherine read a book Fat, Stressed and Sick MSG
Speaker 1: Processed Food in America's health Crisis. That's good. I'm glad
Speaker 1: we have more of these folks on regarding fitness and
Speaker 1: health because I think it's so important that we get
Speaker 1: our heads around and our our our information based around
Speaker 1: what's healthy and what's good for you and what is not.
Speaker 1: Going back to RFK Junior's pledge to do just that,
Speaker 1: at least get the information out there. Don't issue a band,
Speaker 1: don't do this. You know it's yeah. If we have,
Speaker 1: if we're educated, we can make informed decisions. And if
Speaker 1: you choose to ignore the advice and fine, you may
Speaker 1: suffer as a consequence of it. But you know, I'm
Speaker 1: not the kind of guy that wants to take something
Speaker 1: away from you just because it's bad. Just recognize that
Speaker 1: there are bad things out there, and your consumption of
Speaker 1: bad things can lead to bad things happening to you.
Speaker 1: You know, alcohol is not good for you. But we all,
Speaker 1: we all saw what happened when we had a constitutional
Speaker 1: moment banning it. Yeah, people continued to drink and organized
Speaker 1: crime flourished. Anyhow, I saw this poll and I thought
Speaker 1: was rather interesting. And we're seeing more and more potential
Speaker 1: presidential candidates emerge. I know it seems rather early to
Speaker 1: start talking about a presidential race, but the Democrats need
Speaker 1: to find someone who emerged from the pile of ashes
Speaker 1: that was last November's election. And apparently Democrat favorability rating
Speaker 1: among Americans is at a record low, according to CNN,
Speaker 1: fueled in part by a dimming view from its own
Speaker 1: frustrated supporters, said Ariel Edwards Levy of CNN, reporting on
Speaker 1: its own polling, Democrats and Democratic aligned independents say fifty
Speaker 1: seven to forty two percent that Democrats should mainly work
Speaker 1: to stop the Republican agenda rather than work with the
Speaker 1: GOP to get some democratic ideas in the legislation. Now,
Speaker 1: the likelihood of that happening, and I recognize its slim.
Speaker 1: We have a divided country and no one seems to
Speaker 1: want to work with anybody. I don't know how the
Speaker 1: Democrats could get whatever ideas they want into legislation, considering
Speaker 1: the insanity of most of the Democratic ideas. But then again,
Speaker 1: when you stop and think about it, Democrats should mainly
Speaker 1: work to stop the Republican agenda. That's the strategy. Well,
Speaker 1: what is the Republican agenda? Think about that? I think
Speaker 1: primarily working to get the twenty seventeen tax cuts in
Speaker 1: trying into law. They've got an uphill battle for that,
Speaker 1: but they may very well be to get it done.
Speaker 1: There's about two hundred and fifty days left to do that,
Speaker 1: according to the countdown ferreting out fraud, waste, and abuse
Speaker 1: in government. How can anybody be against that? It seems
Speaker 1: to be primarily what the Republicans are all about these days.
Speaker 1: Of course, with the Department of Government Efficiency DOGE, and
Speaker 1: all these revelations about the crazy stuff that we've been
Speaker 1: paying for, and the fact that even Barack Obama had
Speaker 1: urged it's great. This is going viral. A twenty eleven
Speaker 1: video President Obama calling on the federal government to cut
Speaker 1: wastele government spending in programs, even the ones that a
Speaker 1: lot of people care about. His words, what everyone knows
Speaker 1: that getting rid of the deficit will require some tough decisions,
Speaker 1: and that includes cutting back on billions of dollars in
Speaker 1: programs that a lot of people care about, said Barack
Speaker 1: Obama in this fourteen year old, almost fourteen year old clip.
Speaker 1: Sounds familiar, doesn't it, see part of the Democrats' strategy
Speaker 1: as well, at one point, and what a bipartisan thing,
Speaker 1: getting rid of crap. We're in a death spiral. You know,
Speaker 1: it gets old saying it over and over again. But
Speaker 1: that's the practical reality of where we are because of
Speaker 1: government overspending, and some of it's so easy to get
Speaker 1: rid of, as this Department of Government efficiency is showing
Speaker 1: us every day. It's part of the Republican strategy. But
Speaker 1: this has been an old adage for the Democrats as well.
Speaker 1: Even Barack Obama embraced the idea. He put Joe Biden
Speaker 1: in charge of it back then. By the way, Obama
Speaker 1: mentioned the importance of more painful cut stressing though the
Speaker 1: US government should at least get rid of its quote
Speaker 1: pointless waste and stupid spending that doesn't benefit anybody, adding
Speaker 1: that in his words, it's a waste we should be
Speaker 1: getting rid of even if we didn't have a deficit.
Speaker 1: No amount of waste is acceptable, he said, especially when
Speaker 1: it's your money. Just as families are living within their means,
Speaker 1: the government should too. Wow, lots of remarkable Stevemen a
Speaker 1: democratic proposition, a democratic idea. Obama even provide examples of
Speaker 1: stupid spending. Did you know the federal government pays for
Speaker 1: a website devoted to a folk music ensemble made up
Speaker 1: for forests made up of forest rangers called Finland Foresters.
Speaker 1: I'll put their music on my iPod, but I'm not
Speaker 1: paying for their websites. Amen, Barack Obama, how about all
Speaker 1: the things that doges identified. I think back then, if
Speaker 1: you put it in front of him, he probably would
Speaker 1: have agreed completely and across the board. He also pointed out,
Speaker 1: we're paying for thousands of buildings across the country that
Speaker 1: no one uses. Barack Obama twenty eleven. Oh look. Former
Speaker 1: GSA Government Service Administration had Emily Murphy, speaking of Fox News,
Speaker 1: said the GSA will be right sizing its portfolio by
Speaker 1: selling or leasing unused government buildings. I think that there's
Speaker 1: an incredible opportunity right now for GSA to say the
Speaker 1: government substantial amounts of money by right sizing its portfolio.
Speaker 1: Vacant or underutilized federal spaces are all over the place
Speaker 1: right now, the GSA is loose using money. The federal
Speaker 1: building that they own have over that buildings that they
Speaker 1: own have over three hundred and seventy billion dollars in
Speaker 1: deferred maintenance. That's a liability that's just growing and growing
Speaker 1: because the buildings haven't been maintained. So getting rid of
Speaker 1: own space that hasn't been maintained, that isn't occupied, first
Speaker 1: of all, takes that off the government books and gets
Speaker 1: rid of that liability. So Barack Obama apparently didn't do
Speaker 1: anything about it back in twenty eleven when he promised
Speaker 1: to do exactly that. It's still there. Is it okay
Speaker 1: to do it now? Or a Democrat's going to resist
Speaker 1: because well, it's under a Republican administration. Stop the Republican agenda.
Speaker 1: That's what it's all about. That's the platform. If the
Speaker 1: Republicans propose it, then we will stand against it, even
Speaker 1: though it is an apolitical, bipartisan practical approach getting rid of,
Speaker 1: for example, excess government buildings. Contrasting the current demands by
Speaker 1: the Democrats in other words, fight the Republican agenda fifty
Speaker 1: seven to forty two rewind to is September twenty seventeen
Speaker 1: the CNN. Same CNN poll found seventy four percent majority
Speaker 1: of Democrats and Democratic leaders so their parties should work
Speaker 1: with Republicans in an effort to advance their priorities. Only
Speaker 1: twenty three percent advocated a combative approach. Time's changed, don't they?
Speaker 1: I suggest this is part of the Trump arrangement syndrome.
Speaker 1: Trump living rent free inside all these Democrats had. He's
Speaker 1: been characterized as this evil human being, so whatever he
Speaker 1: says and proposes is immediately perceived as bad. Is that
Speaker 1: a party platform, especially when you note that these really
Speaker 1: practical solutions to some of the problems we face by
Speaker 1: way of government spending have no political stripe. Are there
Speaker 1: really Democrats out there that don't want to unload unused,
Speaker 1: empty office buildings that we're paying for? Is that a
Speaker 1: dumb idea? And if so, please explain to me why
Speaker 1: should we continue funding shrimp on treadmill studies that don't
Speaker 1: see the benefit anybody shipping billions and billions of dollars
Speaker 1: overseas for stupid programs that more than likely aren't even
Speaker 1: being done puppet shows in Iraq or whatever. You know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've lost there's so much craziness. I've lost
Speaker 1: track of the proposals or the programs that had been funded,
Speaker 1: those USA programs, for example, among Americans overall, not just Democrats,
Speaker 1: because I guess the CNN broke them down. Among the
Speaker 1: American public overall, the Democratic Party's favorability ratings stands at
Speaker 1: ready twenty nine percent, described as a record low in
Speaker 1: CNN's pulling back to nineteen ninety two, and a drop
Speaker 1: of twenty points since January twenty one. Now, for its part,
Speaker 1: Republican Party ratings stands at thirty six percent, So not
Speaker 1: a tremendous this, you know, overwhelming improvement over the Democrats,
Speaker 1: but it's still better, I think, just a general reflection
Speaker 1: that well, we all hate politicians. Just sixty three percent
Speaker 1: of Democrats and Democrat leaning independence report a favorable view
Speaker 1: of their own party, a dip from seventy two percent
Speaker 1: in January and eighty one percent to start at Joe
Speaker 1: Biden's administration, favorability ratings from Democrat Party failing, falling rather
Speaker 1: by eighteen points. Among liberals and moderates, alike. Since twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one, seventy nine percent of Republicans and Republican leaders
Speaker 1: currently take a positive view of their party, turning the
Speaker 1: independence just independence, nineteen percent rate Democrats favorably, twenty percent
Speaker 1: rate Republicans favorably, So the Independence pretty much uniformally dissatisfy
Speaker 1: with both of the both of the parties. What's the solution,
Speaker 1: what is the directive? What is the direction? The Democrats
Speaker 1: are going to go full on liberal, full on liberal
Speaker 1: or are they going to be a little bit more
Speaker 1: reform minded and try to become the party of the
Speaker 1: moderates to recapture those working class, middle class folks that
Speaker 1: the Republican Party appealed to in the most recent election.
Speaker 1: It's an interesting challenge the Democrats face right now. Five
Speaker 1: eighteen fifty five Karacy de Talk stations stick around, plenty
Speaker 1: more to talk about coming up, and of course the
Speaker 1: stack is stupid at five point forty after the bottom
Speaker 1: of the hour news, I'll be right back five two
Speaker 1: fifty five Casey Detalk station. Thank you. Keith made my morning.
Speaker 1: Just got an email from him this morning. Right about
Speaker 1: just a few minutes, I guess it's almost six pm
Speaker 1: here getting back to our rooms, and I'm going to
Speaker 1: turn on the show along with a photograph from his
Speaker 1: hotel room showing Mount Fuji. He's in Japan and he's
Speaker 1: listening to the fifty five KRSDY Morning Show. Joe Strecker,
Speaker 1: we've gone global. That's cool. Good morning, Keith. Safe travels
Speaker 1: to you, my friend, and thank you for making my morning.
Speaker 1: Chip over to the phone. See what Tom's got this morning? Tom,
Speaker 1: welcome to the Morning show. Oh, good morning, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: where in the hell have you been?
Speaker 2: Yes, it's that Tom.
Speaker 3: Yes, I was hoping.
Speaker 2: So how you doing, Brian?
Speaker 1: I'm doing well. How have you been, my friend? It's
Speaker 1: been so long since you called with your message. I
Speaker 1: miss it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, too too long. I'm winding down this job. I'm
Speaker 4: working on the the new practice facility for the Houston
Speaker 4: football team.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you've been around campus and seeing it.
Speaker 4: So it'll be a cool project when it's done. But
Speaker 4: I can't wait to get off of it. So yeah,
Speaker 4: double things, Yeah, a couple of face to get off
Speaker 4: my chest.
Speaker 2: First.
Speaker 4: I can't stand these freaking Canadian geese. At what point
Speaker 4: can we start getting rid of them? At what point
Speaker 4: are they no longer engager species or something. They're nothing
Speaker 4: but a freaking nuisance. So yesterday I'm at I'm at
Speaker 4: a restaurant and uh, down down this one window, this
Speaker 4: guy is like taunting these these two geese are outside
Speaker 4: the window of the restaurant and he's like he's inside
Speaker 4: and they're outside and he's taunting them, and they're not
Speaker 4: backing off. They're like fighting at the glass. And if
Speaker 4: you went out the door right there where the geese are,
Speaker 4: there's just geese crap all over the sidewalk. At some
Speaker 4: point we got to be able to get rid of
Speaker 4: these stupid things. They're nothing but a nuisance. They don't
Speaker 4: only do is make a mess getting away, and you're
Speaker 4: not allowed to mess with them. I don't I don't
Speaker 4: think that's right.
Speaker 1: Just put a terriff on them, put a terror.
Speaker 4: Yeah, put the terrafle the south. That a Canadian border
Speaker 4: is going to cost some Canadians some big money.
Speaker 1: Can you eible?
Speaker 4: You know what My wife and I were talking about that.
Speaker 4: I think somewhere somebody eats keeethe. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Well, I've I've dined on goose before and it was
Speaker 1: quite luscious and yummy. We had it for U. I
Speaker 1: think a Christmas one year my mom did roast goose
Speaker 1: and I thought it was great. I mean, come on,
Speaker 1: that's in a Christmas Carol, right, It's been happening for
Speaker 1: years and years.
Speaker 4: Yes, I guess, Brian, I personally have never had goose.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying I wouldn't do it, but I just
Speaker 4: never have. And we you know, we we do have
Speaker 4: a lot of extra people in this country who need
Speaker 4: to be fed, and we got all these extra birds
Speaker 4: that are around that are nothing but a nuisance. I
Speaker 4: don't know. Two plus two equals for it just seems
Speaker 4: to make sense to me. So anyway, the other thing
Speaker 4: that that's been aggravating me lately is the flippant use
Speaker 4: of the word perfect. You talk to somebody like customer service,
Speaker 4: and you know you're telling them, you know, they're asking
Speaker 4: you for information, and you're telling him your name and
Speaker 4: you're stelling it for him and your address and everything
Speaker 4: is like perfect. Perfect. Now it's not perfect. If it
Speaker 4: was perfect, I wouldn't be having to talk to you
Speaker 4: to get a problem solved. There's nothing perfect about this.
Speaker 4: This flippant use of the word perfect is just irritating
Speaker 4: the crap out of me. If it was perfect, believe me,
Speaker 4: we wouldn't be having this conversation right now with customer
Speaker 4: service dealing with this problem. So stop using the word perfect.
Speaker 4: Oh and by the way, people forget it.
Speaker 1: Tom a great day, right, take care of Tom. It's
Speaker 1: been months since we've heard from Tom, and he does
Speaker 1: Canada Geese, and the use of the word perfect to
Speaker 1: go off on a tear on. I'll take it anyway,
Speaker 1: it sliced, Tom. It's always good to hear from you.
Speaker 1: It's five twenty six. You can feel free to call
Speaker 1: as well hundred eight hundred and eighty two three talk

Speaker 1: courtroom A correct Joe. Officers are still investigating these shooting. Oh,
Speaker 1: let's jump and see what Pete's. God rather talk to
Speaker 1: you than read the local stories. But see what a pete.
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling this morning. I hope you're having a
Speaker 1: happy Monday.
Speaker 2: Thanks, Brian.
Speaker 6: Two quick things I saw. I think it's Minnesota. The
Speaker 6: lawmakers are trying to codify Trump derangement syndrome as an
Speaker 6: official mental illness in that state. And as far as geese,
Speaker 6: a lot of people hunt them and eat him.
Speaker 2: But they're nasty, they're strong.
Speaker 6: You have to cover them up with a.
Speaker 2: Lot of seasoning to be able to stomach.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well that's not all geese. I suppose farm
Speaker 1: raised geese is probably what Christmas. That's a different thing.
Speaker 1: They're not as gamy, right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, game me, but the watter ones are really gamy.
Speaker 6: A friend of mine made a bunch of like deuice
Speaker 6: trail bloney, and I'm telling you it was nauseating.
Speaker 1: Well maybe maybe brianing them for a substantial period of
Speaker 1: time might help it.
Speaker 6: Would you have to take make efforts to get rid
Speaker 6: of all that gaming nasty. It's getting really grease, that's
Speaker 6: what you mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah, well, appreciate the heads up on that.
Speaker 1: I've always questioned, you know, wondering sort of in my
Speaker 1: head whether those things are edible, and kind of assumed
Speaker 1: they weren't because you hadn't heard about people eating Canada geese.
Speaker 1: So confirmation from Pete Pat Welcome to the Morning Show.
Speaker 7: Happy Monday, Well, happy Saint Patrick's day, Brian.
Speaker 8: I love hearing Tom this morning. I never heard him
Speaker 8: on a tear. He's great. That's one thing I wanted
Speaker 8: to say. I have been noticing a keen Jeffries uh
Speaker 8: being kind of pushed up the ladder, and I got
Speaker 8: the thinking Chucky Schumer is now being thrown under the
Speaker 8: bus AOC and I thought, I wonder if Chucky gets
Speaker 8: put out, they're going to put a keen in his place.
Speaker 8: But I thought, you know, Bobby Kennedy, Eric Adams, all
Speaker 8: these different Democrats who opened their mouth and complained basically
Speaker 8: are being thrown under.
Speaker 1: So Joe pointed out. Joe did point out that Jeffries
Speaker 1: is a member of the House of Representative, is not
Speaker 1: a senator, so he's not eligible for the role.
Speaker 8: Okay, So but anyway, all I can say, and I
Speaker 8: agree with Tom, don't vote get honey.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Apparently they did a poll among Democrats who is
Speaker 1: favored for the presidential nomination Number one. I think it
Speaker 1: was the CNN poll where they were asked an open
Speaker 1: question with a blank line, who do you think should
Speaker 1: be should should lead the party into the next presidential election.
Speaker 1: Number one, The only person to receive double digits at
Speaker 1: ten percent Alexander Okazia Cortes, and I say good luck
Speaker 1: with that. I suppose that would ultimately mean Alexander Ocasio
Speaker 1: Cortez against jd Vance. Anyhow, five point thirty five fifty
Speaker 1: five KRC the Talk station. If she had any traction
Speaker 1: that would really frighten me, I mean really frighten me.
Speaker 1: We got more to talk about. Stack is Stupid coming
Speaker 1: up next, so we can stick around for that. I'll
Speaker 1: be right back.
Speaker 9: This is fifty five KARC an iHeartRadio Station.
Speaker 10: Have you ever wondered of your pet?
Speaker 1: Thirty nine on a Monday, and a happy one to you.
Speaker 1: Fools and their money are soon parted a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago. I read it in the Stack is Too
Speaker 1: But of course some idiot paid eighty seven forty dollars
Speaker 1: for a cheeto shaped like a Pokemon figure charizard. Whatever.
Speaker 1: Pokemon cards in and of themselves represent an illustration of
Speaker 1: fools and their money being soon parted. Anyway, we now
Speaker 1: have the auction side Golden decided to put a Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan esque snack up for auction, described as the Jumpin' Cheeto.
Speaker 1: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. As of the
Speaker 1: time of the reporting, current bid show a highest bid
Speaker 1: at two hundred and seventy five dollars according to the
Speaker 1: web The auction side Golden e Cheeto is in a
Speaker 1: three inch case to protect it from the air. In
Speaker 1: the description, the reverse of the case is designed like
Speaker 1: a collectible card, highlighting Jordan's accomplishments from his illustrious career.
Speaker 1: The cheeto itself is positioned against the backdrop of the
Speaker 1: iconic photograph that inspired the world renowned logo. Apparently, you
Speaker 1: have some number of days left before the auction closes.
Speaker 1: If you are interested in bidding beyond the current auction price,
Speaker 1: I would say maybe it's time to get some counseling.
Speaker 1: Last year, along the same lines, this is the quote
Speaker 1: from the article, Well, this is one of the more
Speaker 1: unique pieces of jordan memorability to go for auction. Anything
Speaker 1: associated with him can fetch lucrative prices. Last year and
Speaker 1: Autograph two thousand and three four logo man card sold
Speaker 1: for two point nine two eight million dollars. I don't
Speaker 1: know what planet I'm on. That is a correct statement.
Speaker 1: Go to Florida and why not as a tradition, it's
Speaker 1: attack of stupid. Florida woman charged with domestic battery for
Speaker 1: allegedly throwing a watermelon at her boyfriend, who happily dodged
Speaker 1: the airborne fruit. During what it is described as a
Speaker 1: verbal confrontation. Shelley Hardwick, fifty one, allegedly picked up a
Speaker 1: whole watermelon and threw it in the direction of the
Speaker 1: victim of Cord. To the police report, Amen Joe, fifty
Speaker 1: six year old man quickly moved out of the way
Speaker 1: of the incoming watermelon. I love the smoking guns, reporting,
Speaker 1: the weight of which is not disclosed. In the arrest Affida,
Speaker 1: Hardwick told police she threw the watermelon only out of frustration,
Speaker 1: denied throwing it at her boyfriend's direction. Bought arrival at
Speaker 1: the Paris residence, described as a motel in Dundon, Gobs
Speaker 1: noted there is a watermelon seeds on the victim's face
Speaker 1: and clothing. H Hardwick arrested for domestic battery misdemeanor. After
Speaker 1: spending a night in Joe. She was released from custody
Speaker 1: on her own recognizance. Judge directed Hardwick, who's pleaded not guilty,
Speaker 1: to have no connection with the victim. Additionally, the judge
Speaker 1: ordered Hardwick to be outfitted with an ankle bracelet that
Speaker 1: monitors are you ready? That monitors alcohol consumption? What editorial
Speaker 1: decision by Joe Strecker to place this into the stack
Speaker 1: of stupid as opposed to one of the local stories
Speaker 1: having to go at Governor of Wine are you today?
Speaker 1: Joe governed to Wine asking Donald Trump to move NASA's
Speaker 1: headquarters to Cleveland. He sent trumple letter Dwine Center trumpet
Speaker 1: letters shared Saturday on the Governor's Facebook page and other
Speaker 1: social media accounts. NASA's lease on the current building in Rushington,

Speaker 1: I think they're approximately located next to oceans or gulfs,
Speaker 1: as the case may be. Quote as Governor of OHIOM
Speaker 1: writing to strongly recommend the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Speaker 1: headquarters be located to the NASA Glen Research Center. This
Speaker 1: is an optimal time to move the headquarters out of Washington,
Speaker 1: DC area, take advantage of a much more economical location
Speaker 1: and gain significant efficiencies through co location with a vibrant
Speaker 1: NASA Research center. Ohio is the birthplace of aviation, he wrote,
Speaker 1: the heart of America's aerospace industry and a critical hub
Speaker 1: for advanced technology research and manufacturing, including the Air Force
Speaker 1: Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton

Speaker 1: for that one, Joe editorial comments from Driss Trecker. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden even thought that it was a stupid idea. Stranger

Speaker 1: So echo cardiogram first off, they you can get you
Speaker 1: right in. You may have to wait weeks or even
Speaker 1: a month or so to get into the hospital imaging department.
Speaker 1: So I've been told it will cost you thirty five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars maybe more. You have to pay separately for
Speaker 1: the board certified radiologist support. In most cases it's just
Speaker 1: dang expensive tons overhead. But it is a great profit
Speaker 1: center because most people don't realize there is a choice
Speaker 1: in medical care. You don't have to go where your
Speaker 1: hot doctor says to go. The hospital system that presumably

Speaker 7: Fifty five krc the talk station in this week's Marketers Report.
Speaker 1: Got KRCV talk Station Happy Monday, going back to what
Speaker 1: planet I'm on? I don't know that this bill was
Speaker 1: even ever necessary. It sounds like something you'd read in
Speaker 1: a Babylon b article, which is all satire. Funny stuff too.
Speaker 1: Kfox TV in San Antonio reporting that the House Bill
Speaker 1: Number forty eight fourteen in Texas, known as the Forbidding
Speaker 1: Unlawful Representation of Role Playing in Education aka FURRIES Act,
Speaker 1: introduced into the the Texas House of Representatives by Representative
Speaker 1: stan Gerditz. Proposed piece of legislation aims to target students
Speaker 1: who exhibit quote any type of behavior or accessory displayed
Speaker 1: by a student in a school or district other than
Speaker 1: behaviors or accessories typically displayed by a member of the
Speaker 1: Homo sapien species. Prohibition extends the surgical or superficial means
Speaker 1: of features that are non human, such as tails, leashes, collars,
Speaker 1: other accessories designed for pets, fur other than naturally occurring
Speaker 1: human hair, or a wig made to look like human hair,
Speaker 1: artificial animal like ears, barking, noowing, hissing, and or animal
Speaker 1: noises not indicative of human species, licking oneself for the
Speaker 1: sake of grooming, using a litterbox, for passing the stool,
Speaker 1: passing of stool, urine, or other human byproducts. Exceptions carved
Speaker 1: out school mascots in certain theme days, which apparently Texas
Speaker 1: public schools can have five of those. Bill also outlines
Speaker 1: that quote allowing or encouraging the child to develop a
Speaker 1: dependence on or belief that non human behaviors are socially
Speaker 1: acceptable us quote in an educational setting constitutes child abuse,
Speaker 1: and if educators are found to support these tendencies and
Speaker 1: violation of the Act. The attorney gentlemen find the district
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand dollars are up to Governor. Governor Abbot apparently,
Speaker 1: in a recent interview, raised concerns that kids go to
Speaker 1: school dressed up as cats with litter boxes in their classrooms,
Speaker 1: although local news there says there have been no confirmed
Speaker 1: instances of educator schools or school districts permitting or providing
Speaker 1: litter boxes to students to use in the state of
Speaker 1: Texas or anywhere else in the country. I seem to
Speaker 1: have read that they allowed that for reasons unknown to me.
Speaker 1: Are you blanking kidding me? Nope, not kidding it. I
Speaker 1: can't believe that it's allowed or permitted anywhere, quite honest
Speaker 1: with you. We've go to Louisville, Kentucky High School. Special
Speaker 1: education teacher there has been arrested following accusations of abuse
Speaker 1: in the classroom. Jamison Woods been charged with criminal abused,
Speaker 1: two counts of harassment with physical contact, and official misconduct.
Speaker 1: Criminal complaint says the first incident happened in January this
Speaker 1: year Odham County High School. Woods with a small group
Speaker 1: of special needs of students when she allegedly started demonstrating
Speaker 1: crisis prevention intervention holds on a fifteen year old with
Speaker 1: autism for in the words of the complaint, no justified reason.
Speaker 1: Court documents say the student was not bothered by the
Speaker 1: whole but asked Woods for a hug afterward. Woods then
Speaker 1: allegedly denied him, saying, quote you have nasty germs close quote.
Speaker 1: Woods then went towards the cabinet went while the student
Speaker 1: followed and asked for another hug. She then allegedly grabbed
Speaker 1: a can of aerosol spray cleaner and sprayed his face. Joe,
Speaker 1: I think we've got an award to give out, Woods
Speaker 1: reported to me, within a foot of the student, and
Speaker 1: she moved the can around as it sprayed. Students' classes
Speaker 1: blocked the spray from getting in his eyes. Next reported
Speaker 1: incident January thirtyth police said Wood threw a yoga ball
Speaker 1: at a fifteen year old mentally disabled student and a
Speaker 1: fourteen year old student with multiple disabilities, both allegedly hitting
Speaker 1: the head multiple times. The classroom eight saw the incident.
Speaker 1: Oldham County School said in the statement, we were made
Speaker 1: aware of the allegations of owning a teacher at OHS
Speaker 1: back in January, the teachers immediately removed from the school
Speaker 1: and placed on leave on investigation led by OCPD took place.
Speaker 1: Teacher has not been back on campus since the allegations
Speaker 1: were brought forward. We continue to cooperate with the ongoing
Speaker 1: investigation and are committed to the safety and well being
Speaker 1: of our students.
Speaker 11: Perios, the biggest douche of the universe, in all the galaxies.

Speaker 1: My Name's Brian Thomas hos to the fifty five KRSEE
Speaker 1: Morning Show five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,
Speaker 1: eight hundred two three talk pound five fifty on AT
Speaker 1: and T phone. Today, the fifty five KRSE Morning Show
Speaker 1: went global. I mentioned earlier in this in this program
Speaker 1: that Keith sent me a message. He's in Japan. He
Speaker 1: sent me a picture of Mount Fuji out of his window,
Speaker 1: he said to me, listening to the morning show. He
Speaker 1: chimed in, he said, I haven't seen anyone dressed as
Speaker 1: a cat here, referring back to my furries article, the
Speaker 1: legislation in Texas that would ban people from being furries
Speaker 1: in schools. I just thought it was funny because I
Speaker 1: would have figured Japan is like the one place you'd
Speaker 1: be certain to run into someone dressed like a cat.
Speaker 1: Maybe I have a misconception about our friends in Japan. Anyway,
Speaker 1: before I get into other areas of the news, let's
Speaker 1: see what Bobby's got this morning. Bobby, Happy Monday to you,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show.
Speaker 2: Happy day of the Green Man, my friends.
Speaker 1: St.
Speaker 2: Patrick's Day, right, I have a question for you. Most
Speaker 2: of the time, you always celebrate a person's death, but
Speaker 2: on St. Patrick's Day, you celebrate to or his birth,
Speaker 2: you celebrate his death.
Speaker 1: Belief.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, that's kind of strange and morbid.
Speaker 1: I suppose it is. It's also a day when everybody
Speaker 1: can be irish and there is no such thing as
Speaker 1: cultural appropriation on St. Patrick's Day.
Speaker 2: Maybe out there Washington Park they'll have their fountains green.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's I guess possible.
Speaker 2: There's still biting money left for skate parks and everything else.
Speaker 1: I didn't see a single thing in the news about
Speaker 1: the shooting that you mentioned. You called me over the
Speaker 1: weekend to say there was a shooting at the gun show.
Speaker 1: Not a single sentence word or utterance about that. Is that?
Speaker 1: Did that actually happen or were you misinformed?
Speaker 2: No, it actually happened. I had a friend of mine
Speaker 2: run out of there. He said when he heard the shot,
Speaker 2: he just took off run and he said he'd find
Speaker 2: out the information later. But apparently three individuals got wounded
Speaker 2: by one shot.
Speaker 1: You'd think that would make the news locally.
Speaker 2: It should. You've had an article in the Scio the
Speaker 2: Times about it. Oh really, that was the only thing
Speaker 2: I saw? Yes, how about that?
Speaker 1: Well, just thought i'd follow up with it because I
Speaker 1: did look for it after you and I talked, I
Speaker 1: searched for it a couple of times and couldn't find anything.
Speaker 1: So anyhow, anything else on your mind today? And Bobby,
Speaker 1: that's it my average one. He did the same, a
Speaker 1: sure thing. And Bobby's got my direct dial.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: Another point. I started out this morning with a CNN
Speaker 1: poll saying the Democratics party's favorability rating is at a
Speaker 1: record low. Even among Democrats. They not quite sure where
Speaker 1: to go other than they should work to stop the
Speaker 1: Republican agenda, which is I guess, in some respects consistent
Speaker 1: with the Barack Obama agenda. Going back to his announcement
Speaker 1: about cutting government spending back from twenty eleven, a video
Speaker 1: which has gone viral. Joe Biden was putting in charge
Speaker 1: of that one. So so we can say that that's
Speaker 1: bipartisan cutting fraud, waste, and abuse, stupid spending that doesn't
Speaker 1: benefit Americans out of the government. And how about this one,
Speaker 1: What else the Republicans doing or what is this administration
Speaker 1: doing that the Biden administration did not deporting illegal criminal aliens.
Speaker 1: Accord a new Tip Insides poll released by a nineteen
Speaker 1: percent margins Americans back broad mass deportations of all illegal
Speaker 1: aliens by fifty six percent to thirty seven percent. According
Speaker 1: to Steve Cortez, who what was the one response were
Speaker 1: behind this Tip Insides poll, He said, in a country
Speaker 1: that's politically polarized or most issues break down to forty
Speaker 1: seven forty seven along party lines, kind of margin on
Speaker 1: a controversial topic like immigration points to an emergent consensus
Speaker 1: in the country. M how about that support for deportation
Speaker 1: or criminal illegals? Criminal illegals number the first point fifty
Speaker 1: six to thirty seven was all illegal aliens. When it
Speaker 1: comes to criminal illegal aliens, widespread consensus that they should
Speaker 1: be kicked out if the illegal alien is a criminal
Speaker 1: record in the United States or their home country. Deportation
Speaker 1: is a plus sixty five percent. Among registered voters, seventy
Speaker 1: nine percent are in favor of it, only fourteen percent
Speaker 1: are against. Smaller upset a senior citizen nearly unanimous. Senior
Speaker 1: citizens say ninety four percent approve of deporting criminal aliens
Speaker 1: compared to four percent who are against it. Subset of
Speaker 1: former Vice President Kamala Harris. Voters give deportation the criminal
Speaker 1: illegal aliens their approval as well. Seventy one percent huh
Speaker 1: and you know, I have to go back to the
Speaker 1: first poll. Democrats say stop the Republican agenda fifty seven
Speaker 1: to forty two. That is exactly what they want. Rather
Speaker 1: than working with the GOP to get something accomplished along
Speaker 1: what they want, fight the Trump agenda, which would include
Speaker 1: deporting criminal illegal aliens. Not a winner among Hispanics, sixty
Speaker 1: nine percent say deport criminal illegal aliens. And he turned
Speaker 1: to independent voters eighty percent say deport criminal illegal aliens. Hm,
Speaker 1: the pollsters said, so, why have Americans moved so aggressively
Speaker 1: toward Trump and in favor of strict law enforcement regarding immigration?
Speaker 1: He cited three reasons. First, Biden's border hoax, claiming ad
Speaker 1: nauseum that he actually wanted law in order, but needed
Speaker 1: new congressional action to secure our country. Now that Trump
Speaker 1: has secured the border only weeks into office, the fullness
Speaker 1: of that crass prevarication is laid bare before the country.
Speaker 1: That is a noteworthy point. Over and over again, they
Speaker 1: kept saying Trump stopped the legislation they would have prevented this.
Speaker 1: We need new legislation on immigration now. Actually you don't.
Speaker 1: Second the economy, he cited an influx of millions of unvetted,
Speaker 1: unwelcome migrants, put massive additional strain on that predicament of
Speaker 1: affordable apartments and homes, and finally, public safety. Horrible cases
Speaker 1: of totally preventable violence clearly moved Americans who understandably worry
Speaker 1: about crimes that would never happen if illegal alien perpetrators
Speaker 1: were not allowed in this country. Margin of era two
Speaker 1: point four percent, so well within any marchin affair on
Speaker 1: that one, they got to pivot over to California along
Speaker 1: the same lines. Look I wrote Castle Doctrine and Second
Speaker 1: Amendment on the top of the article headlines Migrant gangs
Speaker 1: put on notice after a string of home burglaries. What
Speaker 1: is described as a bipartisan group of lawmakers in California
Speaker 1: asking the heart Department of Homeland Security to remove Chili's
Speaker 1: status on the Visa Program waiver or waiver program because
Speaker 1: of the burglary risk the Chileans are posing. Representative Young Kim,
Speaker 1: Derek Tran, Dave Min, Mike Levin of California Sinelearty DHS
Speaker 1: asking that ChIL be taken off the list. That list
Speaker 1: allows citizens from certain countries to visit the United States
Speaker 1: for about three months without a visa quote. We are
Speaker 1: concerned about the VWP. This waiver program continues to be
Speaker 1: exploited by South American theft group, a majority of whom
Speaker 1: originate from Chile. Known as burglary tourism, certain eligible individuals
Speaker 1: travel to the United States through the VWP for the
Speaker 1: purpose of committing residential and commercial robberies before returning to
Speaker 1: their country of Oregon origin. That's in the letter obtained
Speaker 1: by Fox News. The letter goes on, in addition having
Speaker 1: an impact on familial communities, these South American theft groups
Speaker 1: continue to victimize Orange County companies and entrepreneurs, placing a
Speaker 1: burden on our local police departments, already beset by a
Speaker 1: lack of resources and staffing deficit that would probably be
Speaker 1: a result of the defund the police movement. In twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four, they wrote there were fifty nine residential burglaries
Speaker 1: suscepted expectator of being committed by these satgs these groups
Speaker 1: in the Orange County Sheriff Department Southeast Patrol area. Given
Speaker 1: the threat to public safety, we believe immediate action must
Speaker 1: be taken. That's reported that this burglary tourism practice has
Speaker 1: become relatively common in communities throughout the country, including affluent
Speaker 1: areas in Orange County, California, Scottsdale, Arizona, oh And Travis
Speaker 1: Kelcey from the Kansas City Chief had it coming and
Speaker 1: had it evented his place, as well as Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: here in Cincinnati theft victims when they were out of
Speaker 1: town at games. Previous letters sent by these representatives asking
Speaker 1: the Biden administration to take a similar action back in
Speaker 1: June of twenty three, warning that these groups will sometimes
Speaker 1: sell stolen goods online to launder money through Chinese crime syndicates.
Speaker 3: Hmm.
Speaker 1: Biden administration put on notice by some of his own kind.
Speaker 1: Orange County Distric's attorney, Todd Spitzer said, every other South
Speaker 1: American country that has participated in the past has been
Speaker 1: kicked out of the program for sending their criminals into
Speaker 1: the United States of America. Those Chileans have been coming
Speaker 1: here for years. They're going to Orlando, Florida, where Disney
Speaker 1: World is. They're coming into Orange County, California, where Disneyland is,
Speaker 1: and they're not here to visit the happiest place on earth.
Speaker 1: They're here to burglarize. Well, if California wasn't so strict
Speaker 1: with gun control, maybe had a castle doctrine. They might
Speaker 1: learn their lesson and not take chances and break into
Speaker 1: people's homes. Just saying six sixteen fifty five k SE

Speaker 1: to everyone who has not perturbed and angered Joe Strecker.
Speaker 1: He keeps a list uh furthered immigration thing. Donald Trump
Speaker 1: invoked the Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight to
Speaker 1: boot out gang members, notably the Venezuela and Trade de
Speaker 1: Iragua gang members. So on Saturday issued a presidential proclamation
Speaker 1: invoking this act to speed up the deportations of the
Speaker 1: Venezuelan nationals who are fourteen years or older, who are
Speaker 1: members of the gang trade d Arragua and who are
Speaker 1: not citizens or lawful permanent residents of the United States
Speaker 1: illegal immigrant gang members specifically, so before you issue the proclamation. Apparently,
Speaker 1: lawyers for five of the detainees being processed for deportation
Speaker 1: fouled a lawsuit to stop the President's deportation practice in
Speaker 1: front of US District George Judge James Boseburg, US District
Speaker 1: Corps for the District Columbia, who issued an order barring
Speaker 1: the deportation of those five specific plaintiffs for at least
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks while the legal proceedings continue.
Speaker 1: Then later on Saturday evening, the same judge returned issuing
Speaker 1: a second order granting a class action certification to all
Speaker 1: non citizens who would otherwise be subject to Trump's presidential
Speaker 1: proclamation booting them out under the Alien Enemies Act of
Speaker 1: seventeen ninety eight. Lawyers from the ACLU and Democracy Forward
Speaker 1: Is filed the complaint challenging the legality of his invocation
Speaker 1: of this Alien Enemies Act, noting that the seventeen ninety
Speaker 1: eight law has only ever been invoked on three prior occasions.
Speaker 1: The War of eighteen twelve World War One and World
Speaker 1: War Two. I don't know that that necessarily limits its
Speaker 1: application in other times, even though we're not in a
Speaker 1: declared war now. The plaintiffs claim THEE and Alien Enemies
Speaker 1: Act plainly in their words, plainly only applies to warlike
Speaker 1: actions that go on, saying it cannot be used here
Speaker 1: against nationals of a country Venezuela, with whom the United
Speaker 1: States is not at war, which is not invaded in
Speaker 1: the United States, and which has not launched a predatory
Speaker 1: incursion in the United States now. In his proclamation, though,
Speaker 1: Trump says the Venezuelan government has gradually ceded more of
Speaker 1: its authority to the terrorist group Trade the Aragua and
Speaker 1: other similar transnational criminal organizations, resulting what the proclamation referred
Speaker 1: to as a hybrid criminal state. If they're facilitating these
Speaker 1: folks coming into our country, if they are emptying their
Speaker 1: jails or cleaning out their neighborhoods to get rid of
Speaker 1: their gang problem, and sending them here, then one might
Speaker 1: construe that as potentially an active war, I can or
Speaker 1: at least something that falls under this act. Trump's proculation
Speaker 1: states evidence irrefutably demonstrates that TDA has invaded the United
Speaker 1: States and continues to invade, attempt to invade, and threaten
Speaker 1: the invade the country, perpetrated irregular warfare within the country,
Speaker 1: and use drug trafficking as a weapon against our citizens. Now,
Speaker 1: Trump reached out to the Venezuelan government or the l
Speaker 1: Salvadorian government, offered them six million dollars to imprison three
Speaker 1: hundred of these train de Airagua suspects and two more
Speaker 1: individuals suspected of ties the Salvadorian Transnational Gang MS thirteen.
Speaker 1: Bozburg said at the Saturday evening hearing where he issued
Speaker 1: the second order, I do not believe I can wait
Speaker 1: any longer and required to act. A brief delay in
Speaker 1: the removal does not cause the government any harm. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: these gang members were on a deportation plane already in
Speaker 1: international waters. Bozburg ordered the deportation planes that were already
Speaker 1: in the air to turn around, which the administration said,
Speaker 1: now they're in international waters, so it's too late. And
Speaker 1: the planes did touch ground, and the El Salvadorian government
Speaker 1: has taken them and placed them into their prison facilities.
Speaker 1: So not quite sure if that represents some sort of
Speaker 1: constitutional crisis, but at least they're out of the country

Speaker 1: if you come in with one, because you can wander
Speaker 1: around and sell them. Vendors are usually really good about
Speaker 1: that too, But they also sell Ammo there, so it's
Speaker 1: conceivable that someone could buy a gun or have a
Speaker 1: gun and then buy some AMMO and load it up
Speaker 1: right there, which would be really really stupid. Go to Kentucky.
Speaker 1: My friend's in the Commonwealth. There's a bill that is
Speaker 1: probably going to be signed. Governor Adbsheer's planning on signing
Speaker 1: it making it harder for retailers to sell vape products
Speaker 1: to children. It's center bill one hundred, apparently got bypart
Speaker 1: is in support from both the House and Senate. Bill
Speaker 1: would create the division of Tobacco, Nicotine and Vapor Product Licensing,
Speaker 1: falling within the Department of Beverage Control. Will give the
Speaker 1: investigators authority to inspect any premise where alternative nicotine, tobacco
Speaker 1: and vaping products are sold without obtaining a search warrant,
Speaker 1: kind of trouble by that. Advocates claim the bill will
Speaker 1: help create safe and healthy environments for children in Kentucky.
Speaker 1: Terry Brooks, executive director of the Kentucky Youth Advocates, said
Speaker 1: Senate Bill one hundred is targeted addressing what is not
Speaker 1: a problem, but a pandemic in the Commonwealth. The bill
Speaker 1: would also require retailers that sell any nicotine products to
Speaker 1: be licensed, and would establish penalties for retailers that sell
Speaker 1: the products without a license. According to Brooks, retailers are
Speaker 1: going to get those surprise inspection visits, and they're not
Speaker 1: just going to be looking at who you are selling
Speaker 1: beer and cigarettes to, but they're going to be watching
Speaker 1: how you manage how you sell vape products. If the
Speaker 1: bill signed in the law by Governor of Sheer, Kentucky,
Speaker 1: would joined forty other states who have similar programs preventing
Speaker 1: retailers from selling vaping products to kids and teenagers. I
Speaker 1: don't know that the other states allow a warrantless search.
Speaker 1: Kind of scratching my head over that one. A woman
Speaker 1: was shot at smel Riverfront Park on Friday night, according
Speaker 1: to police inst Police they said they were called a
Speaker 1: smell about eleven pm. Twenty one year old woman was
Speaker 1: shot in the leg was taken to the hospital with
Speaker 1: what are described as non life threatening injuries. Officers arrested
Speaker 1: twenty one year old me Cole Smith had on kind
Speaker 1: of municipal complaint. Says that witnesses and the victim reported
Speaker 1: to police that Smith shot the victim after an altercation.
Speaker 1: She's facing one kind of flowious assault. Judge set her
Speaker 1: bond at fifty thousand dollars in Officers are still investigating
Speaker 1: the shooting on that one. Forty seven year old man
Speaker 1: Dad this after an early Saturday morning crash in bond Hill,
Speaker 1: according to Sin Saint Police Department, and it took place
Speaker 1: at ten fifty five laid Law Avenue five thirty in
Speaker 1: the morning. A forty seven year old man has not
Speaker 1: yet identified driving an six Lincoln Town car eastbound on
Speaker 1: laid Law, crossed the center line and ran into a
Speaker 1: two thousand and four Honda Pilot heading westbound. Forty seven
Speaker 1: year old man taking a UC medical center died because
Speaker 1: of the injuries. Fortunately for the people in the Honda,
Speaker 1: fifty nine year old woman and a thirty seven year
Speaker 1: old man was the passenger. Both had non life threatening injuries.
Speaker 1: They were taking a UC medical center. Police are investigating
Speaker 1: both excessive speed and impairment as possible contributing factors. The
Speaker 1: forty seven year old man who died also not wearing
Speaker 1: a seat belt. Both of the folks in the Honda
Speaker 1: had seat belts on. If you are a witness you
Speaker 1: know anything about it, please contact the traffic unit since

Speaker 9: This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 3: Are you a business owner? CEO six thirty nine.
Speaker 1: If fifty five kre CD talk station, Happy Monday, Career
Speaker 1: opportunities abound. Nick Smiley, executive director of the Tools Programs
Speaker 1: and I talk about that right off the top of
Speaker 1: the hour news, followed by Christopher Smithman. I always enjoy
Speaker 1: this smith event, and I hope you do. From the
Speaker 1: former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati. Let us
Speaker 1: see here going back to the point that President then
Speaker 1: President Barack Obama made widely circulated viral video about the
Speaker 1: President Obima back in twenty eleven talking about cutting crappy spending,
Speaker 1: wasteful government spending and programs, saying, everybody knows that getting
Speaker 1: rid of the deficit will require some tough decisions, and
Speaker 1: that includes cutting back on billions of dollars in programs
Speaker 1: that a lot of people care about, saying the US
Speaker 1: government should at least get rid of pointless waste and
Speaker 1: stupid spending. That doesn't benefit anybody who said it's waste
Speaker 1: we should be getting rid of even if we didn't
Speaker 1: have a deficit. Quote, no amount of waste is acceptable,
Speaker 1: especially when it's our or your money. Just as families
Speaker 1: are living within their means, government should too. How about
Speaker 1: that they also provide examples of stupid spending. Did you
Speaker 1: know that federal government pays for a website that devoted
Speaker 1: a folk music ensemble made up of forest rangers they're
Speaker 1: called fiddling foresters. I'll put their music on my iPod,
Speaker 1: but I'm not paying for their websites. Great, it was
Speaker 1: a great concept. Didn't follow through on it. He put
Speaker 1: then Vice President Joe Biden in charge of the effort
Speaker 1: to quote hunt down misspent tax dollars in every agency
Speaker 1: and department of this government. It's like putting Kamala Harris's
Speaker 1: borders are okay, congratulations, your borders are and then not
Speaker 1: do anything about it. So well, this is about Hunter's laptop. Joe, Oh,
Speaker 1: Joe looked on Hunter's laptop and didn't find anything except
Speaker 1: evidence of criminal activity and drug abuse and porn. And
Speaker 1: going back to the CNN POLLI here I mentioned both
Speaker 1: of these articles. In the five o'clour the CNN poll
Speaker 1: among Democrats and Democrat aligned independence, fifty seven percent say
Speaker 1: that Democrats should work to stop the Republican agenda, which occludes,
Speaker 1: of course, ferreting out fraud, waste, and abuse, which obviously,
Speaker 1: at one point in time was the Democrats agenda too.
Speaker 1: At least lip service was paid to it, even though
Speaker 1: nothing ever happened. Further to the efforts that are actually
Speaker 1: going on now, Carrie Lake recently named is the Trump
Speaker 1: administration senior advisor to the US Agency for Global Media.
Speaker 1: That's apparently the one that oversees Voice of America, and
Speaker 1: she is hard at work announcing that she's reducing millions
Speaker 1: in costs, exposing suspicious activity, and eliminating positions at this
Speaker 1: global media agency. She issued a letter US AGM and
Speaker 1: outlets it overseas will be reduced to their statutory functions,
Speaker 1: and associated personnel will be reduced to the minimum presence
Speaker 1: and functions require by law. Those affected by the action
Speaker 1: we placed on paid administrative leave beginning Saturday, March fifteenth,
Speaker 1: that's past Saturday, and remain on leave until further notice,
Speaker 1: she said in a letter of the US Agency for
Speaker 1: Global Media will continue to deliver on all statutory programs
Speaker 1: that fall under the agency's purview and shed everything that's
Speaker 1: not statutorily required. So I fully support the President's executive order.
Speaker 1: Waste fraud abuse run rampant in this agency, and American
Speaker 1: taxpayers should have to fund it. Go check with Barack Obama.
Speaker 1: This would be one of the areas that he was
Speaker 1: talking about, presumably. In her letter, she highlighted what she
Speaker 1: described as a few of the most egregious findings, massive
Speaker 1: national security violations, including spies and terrorist sympathizers and or
Speaker 1: supporters infiltrating the agency, eye popping, self dealing, involved in contracts, grants,
Speaker 1: and high value settlement agreements. Just these are quotes obscene
Speaker 1: over spending, including a nearly quarter of a billion dollar
Speaker 1: lease for a Pennsylvania Avenue high rise that has no
Speaker 1: broadcast facilities to meet the needs of the agency, and
Speaker 1: includes a nine million dollar commission to a private real
Speaker 1: estate with connections, hundreds of millions being spent on fake
Speaker 1: news companies, and a product that often parrots the talking
Speaker 1: points of America's adversaries. She says, this agency is not
Speaker 1: salvagel from top to bottom. This agency is a giant
Speaker 1: rot and burdened the American taxpayer, national security risk for
Speaker 1: this nation, and is irretrievably broken. While these are harsh words,
Speaker 1: while there are bright spots within the agency with personnel
Speaker 1: who are talented and dedicated public servants, this is the
Speaker 1: exception rather than the rule. So it's unfortunate that the
Speaker 1: work was done by self interested insiders and coordination with
Speaker 1: outside activist groups and radical leftist advocacy organizations. To quote Trump,
Speaker 1: proof close quote, the agency made it impossible to reform.
Speaker 1: In fact, they weren't just trump proofing the agency from
Speaker 1: political leadership, they were accountability proofing the agency from the
Speaker 1: American people. They did all this while spending taxpayer money
Speaker 1: to create false narratives which were amplified by biased media
Speaker 1: counterparts with clear conflicts of interest at the Washington Post, NPR,
Speaker 1: and more to actively cover up their obscene waste, fraud,
Speaker 1: and abuse. Now Subsequently, she issued a video at the
Speaker 1: office building that she was speaking about in that least Agreement.
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here on the thirteenth floor of a shiny,
Speaker 1: brand new, beautiful skyscraper building that is costing you the
Speaker 1: taxpair of fortune. Fast forward in the online video. Fancy
Speaker 1: conference rooms with wall to wall windows. There are six
Speaker 1: conference room at least that's what I've counted so far.
Speaker 1: In this building. There are four bridges to nowhere, massive waterfalls,
Speaker 1: Italian marble finishes everywhere, leather furnishing, all of which being
Speaker 1: paid for by the American taxpayer. And it's not the
Speaker 1: only thing we've seen. We're seeing grants where they've taken
Speaker 1: the grants that they've changed and they've changed the contract
Speaker 1: just days before we I guess the Trump administration got
Speaker 1: in here to make it less transparent for us to
Speaker 1: find out where the money's going and what's happening with
Speaker 1: these grantees. It was an obvious, obvious sign that they
Speaker 1: wanted to keep us from finding out anything that we
Speaker 1: could possibly go on and change to make it better
Speaker 1: for the American taxpayer. I want you to know I'm
Speaker 1: hard at work here in Washington, DC and working to
Speaker 1: make sure that we are not being We're not being
Speaker 1: built out of our hard earned dollars built, and we're
Speaker 1: going to make sure that we're doing everything we can
Speaker 1: to cancel contracts that can be canceled, save money, downsize,
Speaker 1: and make sure there's no misuse of your dollars in
Speaker 1: this action. She apparently locked out more than one thousand
Speaker 1: employees at the Voice of America. It's everywhere, folks, every
Speaker 1: corner of government. And again I will note that I'm
Speaker 1: waiting for them to start looking at the Department Defense.

Speaker 10: Com fifty five KRC.
Speaker 1: Six fifty one fifty five KRCD talk station part about
Speaker 1: some career opportunities at the top of the UR news
Speaker 1: The tools program get folks involved in careers in the trades,
Speaker 1: which I think is a great idea. I remember artificial
Speaker 1: intelligence can't get to get rid of the trades. You're
Speaker 1: editing job at a newspaper or maybe well supplanted by
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence churning out whole cloth news articles. But no
Speaker 1: one can fix a plumbing problem except someone in the trades.
Speaker 1: Electricians can't substitute that with artificial intelligence. So a great
Speaker 1: opportunity for folks to get a career and we'll get
Speaker 1: information on that at the top of the ur News over.
Speaker 3: Here to Ohio Yay Ohio.
Speaker 1: Goodernatorial candidate Viva Gramma Swimmy has proposed this is something
Speaker 1: he can campaign on, eliminating the income tax here in Ohio.
Speaker 1: How about that? Lucas kind of Republican Party's annual Lincoln
Speaker 1: Day dinners where he was speaking, he pointed out that
Speaker 1: a lot of states, Texas number one state to people
Speaker 1: for people relocating, with Florida coming into number two. Ohio
Speaker 1: sadly number thirty eight. He said, Texas is number one,
Speaker 1: Florida's number two for people moving in versus moving out,
Speaker 1: we're number thirty eight. I want to lead us back
Speaker 1: to number one. So there's something that something's required. And
Speaker 1: if we're paying for number if we're playing for number one,
Speaker 1: we're going to have to do in this state. For example,
Speaker 1: we're going to take the state income tax down, not
Speaker 1: just from seven brackets to two, as I guess the
Speaker 1: current leadership is done, but down to zero brackets because
Speaker 1: we're going to get rid of the income tax in
Speaker 1: this state. Zero income tax in the state of Ohio.
Speaker 1: He said, it's your money, not the governments. You deserve
Speaker 1: to keep what you earn. We've got to celebrate hard
Speaker 1: work and success. How about that. According to the Census Bureau,
Speaker 1: Texas had met mike greation number of almost one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty thousand people coming into its state, Florida one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty six almost one hundred and thirty seven
Speaker 1: thousand coming in at number three, North Carolina ten thousand
Speaker 1: or one hundred and ten thousand and eight hundred people
Speaker 1: coming into the state South Carolina number four, net migration
Speaker 1: numbers of seventy two thousand and change. And it might
Speaker 1: be largely in part of the fact they don't charge
Speaker 1: an income tax. Ramasomi said, if eight other states have
Speaker 1: managed to do it, then so too will we here
Speaker 1: in Ohio. People ask me, how are you going to
Speaker 1: do it? Said, Look, if we're the state that sent
Speaker 1: somebody to be the first man in the world to
Speaker 1: walk on the moon. The state will not be the
Speaker 1: greatest challenge, or this will not be rather to be
Speaker 1: the greatest challenge that'll how has ever conceived. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you can draw a parallel on that one.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are going to be like,
Speaker 1: what are we going to do with the mister revenue?
Speaker 1: What are we going to do the mister revenue? Those
Speaker 1: states that don't have an income tax Florida, Alaska, Nevada,
Speaker 1: South Dakota, Texas, Washington, Wyoming, and Tennessee, which doesn't explain
Speaker 1: how North Carolina could come into number four, but I
Speaker 1: think it's a great idea. Lower taxes are always of
Speaker 1: interest in me. The question is dealing with the financial
Speaker 1: challenges that he'll face. But by all accounts, he's doing
Speaker 1: very very well in the polls, and considering in a
Speaker 1: red state, it'd be Vva Gramma swimming versus Amy acting, Amy, lockdown,
Speaker 1: close small businesses, don't drink after ten o'clock acting kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. I think we may be able to call
Speaker 1: him governor in fairly short order, and that'd be a
Speaker 1: great thing. So I like the guy I'm impressed by
Speaker 1: what he says and what he's done, both in a
Speaker 1: private his private world. Obviously a very successful businessman, and
Speaker 1: he doesn't need the job. I know a lot of
Speaker 1: Democrats a scum. I got the billionaires, billionaires, billionaires. Well,
Speaker 1: you know there is something to be said for that.
Speaker 1: My understanding is Trump donates his salary to charity. Elon
Speaker 1: Musk isn't drawing his salary offering his talents for the
Speaker 1: good of America. Again, going back to Barack Obama, Barack
Speaker 1: Obama thought this was a great idea. Exactly what DOJE
Speaker 1: is doing? Back in twenty eleven? When did it become
Speaker 1: a bad idea? Just asking out loud sort of rhetorical
Speaker 1: question six fifty five fifty five krsty talk station Job Opportunities,
Speaker 1: Nick Smiley, the executive director of the Tools Program, follow
Speaker 1: by Christopher Smithman at seven twenty. I hope you can
Speaker 1: stick around.

Speaker 1: Fifty five r S the talk station. It's seven six
Speaker 1: at fifty five KRCD Talk Station. A very happy Monday
Speaker 1: to you. I'm excited to talk with Nick Smiley. He's
Speaker 1: the executive director of the Tools Program. Because Nick, welcome
Speaker 1: to fifty fifty five KS Morning Show. There are job opportunities,
Speaker 1: are actually career opportunities out there in the trades. Aren't
Speaker 1: there tons of them?
Speaker 13: Brian, how are you doing this morning?
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. Great to have you on the program
Speaker 1: to talk about the Tools Program and the the March
Speaker 1: Madness kind of fundrais of the kickoff for people to
Speaker 1: enjoy and learn about Tools Program and also have a
Speaker 1: great time. Before we get to the details on that,
Speaker 1: let my listeners know about the Tools Program and what
Speaker 1: you're all about.
Speaker 13: Absolutely so. The Tools Program was founded approximately five and
Speaker 13: a half six years ago. I think we're in our
Speaker 13: six school year now. The main focus of the program
Speaker 13: is skilled trade career exposure for K through twelve. We
Speaker 13: do have an eighth grade math and science project where
Speaker 13: we come in take over the eighth grade math class
Speaker 13: for a day, give the teacher a break, teach about
Speaker 13: maths and science skills, and then our main focus is
Speaker 13: really helping students transition from high school into the skilled
Speaker 13: trades industry. When when to make sure we open every door,
Speaker 13: make the opportunities available to them, and then provide resources
Speaker 13: such as scholarships for transition money and tool packages as well.
Speaker 1: Well. I think it's fantastic concept. And you know, as
Speaker 1: I've noted, and you can correct me if I'm wrong,
Speaker 1: if I've got a misconception on this. These are jobs
Speaker 1: that artificial intelligence can't take away.
Speaker 13: Oh, you show me a computer that's going to finish
Speaker 13: your drywall after it frames up your wall, and I
Speaker 13: think we're heading a bad direction that we can see
Speaker 13: that happening. Absolutely, none of these jobs are going to
Speaker 13: be outsourced. You know, we were during the big call
Speaker 13: back in the day. We were essential workers so to speak.
Speaker 13: So definitely something that if you're looking for a long
Speaker 13: term career, build a family, support that family, this is
Speaker 13: the place for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the word career is important. It's not just
Speaker 1: a job. I mean you can actually feed a family
Speaker 1: and live a comfortable life on the salaries of these
Speaker 1: job pays. These are not you know, minimum wage type jobs.
Speaker 13: Definitely. Currently we actually ranked nice in the country out
Speaker 13: of all safety states. Our current average salary for skilled
Speaker 13: trades men and women in Ohio is sixty two and
Speaker 13: a half thousand.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 13: The funny thing is I go to a lot of schools.
Speaker 13: I speak at a lot of high schools, and whenever
Speaker 13: I get to that part of the presentation, you can
Speaker 13: see that the teachers kind of perk up and look
Speaker 13: and say, oh a little it's a little.
Speaker 2: More than we make.
Speaker 13: So that might be a good path for your kids.
Speaker 1: Well, and it's always good to have their buy in.
Speaker 1: That's funny observation. But to the point, this isn't limited
Speaker 1: to just people graduating from high school. I mean other people, like,
Speaker 1: for example, if you're thirty or forty years old and
Speaker 1: you're interested in changing your life, you can pursue a
Speaker 1: job in the trades. It's not too late, correct, Oh.
Speaker 13: Not too late at all. Always a good time to
Speaker 13: make a change. A lot of skills that come from
Speaker 13: other industries are transferable, so we've got a lot of
Speaker 13: people that get into our industry never realizing that building
Speaker 13: something with your hands. At the end of the day,
Speaker 13: being back, you know, being able to look at that
Speaker 13: and say that's what I did today. It's very gratifying feeling.
Speaker 13: So we have a lot of people that transition from
Speaker 13: other industries into our industry all the time.
Speaker 1: That's great, and you know it is really really rewarding.
Speaker 1: I you know, jack of all trades, mester and none. I.
Speaker 1: But when you don't have an extra money to hire
Speaker 1: someone in the trades, like when you're in one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty five year old house and you're starting out
Speaker 1: with your new wife, like me in Chicago, I used
Speaker 1: to go to the library and get books out and
Speaker 1: learn how to do things around the house, just teach myself.
Speaker 1: And you know, when you've completed a project and every
Speaker 1: time you walk into a room like I did that,
Speaker 1: it really is. It is a rewarding thing. And I've
Speaker 1: talked to folks who you know, worked high iron and
Speaker 1: did some steel projects, and every time they drove by
Speaker 1: a building, it just overwhelming sense of pride that you
Speaker 1: know what, if it wasn't for me, that wouldn't be there.
Speaker 13: That's the truth for me. There's a lot of buildings.
Speaker 13: One of my favorite that I like to tell the
Speaker 13: students about is the robling building, like the blue and
Speaker 13: white twisted building right there across the bridge, well ground up. Yeah,
Speaker 13: definitely a sense of pride for the people that work
Speaker 13: on it. When you do have kids. Fair warning to anybody,
Speaker 13: they're gonna get sick of hearing that, they're gonna get
Speaker 13: sick of driving by everything on seventy five and dedes
Speaker 13: I built that, I built that, I built that, you know,
Speaker 13: so definitely works for us on the pride side. Keeps
Speaker 13: your kids in line, lets them know that you actually
Speaker 13: do know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no question about it. Well you know, and it's
Speaker 1: all all trades. I mean, they're just like any plumbing.
Speaker 1: It's electric, it's HVAC. I mean, there's a whole there's
Speaker 1: a whole, huge number of areas.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Ohio Valley Construction Education Foundation, which is ABC's education wing,
Speaker 13: actually added multiple over the past five six years. We've
Speaker 13: got everything from craft laborers now a class you can
Speaker 13: take all, like you said, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, you name it.
Speaker 13: It's pretty much covered. I think one thing that's very
Speaker 13: popular right now is we've seen a big uptick in electricians.
Speaker 13: So with all the high schools I go to, the
Speaker 13: tools program now has forty participating schools from Van Wert
Speaker 13: down in northern Kentucky, and in every one of those
Speaker 13: high schools never fails three or four of the kids
Speaker 13: booming to get into that electric industry. Right now, it
Speaker 13: seems like electrician is the most popular. Maybe two years
Speaker 13: ago it was plumbers.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. And I had one of my plumb type
Speaker 1: plumbing folks over the house and he was a journeyman
Speaker 1: and he had an apprentice with him. And apprentice a
Speaker 1: young man. I said, hey, just starting out. He was, yeah,
Speaker 1: and the journeyman's smid. He goes, this is an absolutely
Speaker 1: fantastic job. He said, I'm doing really well. I got
Speaker 1: a family and we're all comfortable, and you know, I
Speaker 1: love the job. I love getting up to work and
Speaker 1: talking to people and solving their problems. And the apprentice
Speaker 1: was really excited about his future career. So it's true,
Speaker 1: and there are multiple opportunities out there in these trades.
Speaker 1: I understand you're doing. The Tools program is doing a
Speaker 1: sort of a fundraiser kickoff thing.
Speaker 13: Yeah, our second largest fundraiser of the year. It's going
Speaker 13: to be at Top Golf. It's this Thursday, March twentieth.
Speaker 13: Still have some tickets available. Some people want to get involved.
Speaker 13: Not only is it a wonderful event in terms of
Speaker 13: all you can eat, all you can drink, lots of prizes.
Speaker 13: We've got the top Contender petition going on. It is
Speaker 13: top golf, So while the weather might not be perfect
Speaker 13: every day, they still have heat and it is covered
Speaker 13: so rain or shine, we're always there. But it's a
Speaker 13: great event. All proceeds going to our Scholarships Foundation, making
Speaker 13: sure that we can keep providing those transitional funds for
Speaker 13: these students as they leave high school and head into
Speaker 13: the skill trades industry.
Speaker 1: So who are you hoping will attend this? Are you
Speaker 1: looking for organizations that are in the trades, just like
Speaker 1: run of the middle folks like me who have really
Speaker 1: no connection with the trades. Who's invited?
Speaker 13: Well, don't tee this with a good time, Brian, because
Speaker 13: we will definitely put you on the list. If you're
Speaker 13: gonna be there for us, we will definitely get.
Speaker 1: You on the list.
Speaker 13: But it's truly open to anyone. The idea behind it
Speaker 13: is mainly if you are a company that's interested in
Speaker 13: something like the Tools program getting apart, you know, becoming
Speaker 13: a part of this wonderful program that we have. It'd
Speaker 13: be great for you if you're an educator looking at
Speaker 13: bring some skill trade career exposure to your school, get
Speaker 13: connected with some companies who are willing to provide some
Speaker 13: of those resources as well. It's good for you and
Speaker 13: just anybody that's looking to have a great time. It's
Speaker 13: always a great time at the event. Top Golf does
Speaker 13: an amazing job at getting us all set up, so
Speaker 13: it's pretty pretty easy deal for me as the organizer.
Speaker 13: But everybody seems to have a great time. And like
Speaker 13: I said before, we've got lots surprises to give away,
Speaker 13: so we just want everybody to come out and have
Speaker 13: a great time, leave with something nice and all for
Speaker 13: a great cause.
Speaker 1: Well, and let me repeat something that I thought you
Speaker 1: heard open bar and barbecue so wow.
Speaker 13: Well, I mean, when you're in the scale trades industry,
Speaker 13: I gotta be honest. I was thinking of fajita bar
Speaker 13: and I asked a couple of guys and they're like, hey,
Speaker 13: we're construction guys. We don't want fajitas, we want barbecue.
Speaker 13: So we went back to the barbecue menu. It's been
Speaker 13: popular for the past three years and can't deviate from
Speaker 13: what works can we.
Speaker 1: No, you can't, and a lot of these You help
Speaker 1: these young people find employment opportunities, correct, I mean you
Speaker 1: hook the people who are pursuing the trades as a
Speaker 1: new career with employers who are searching for them.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 13: So the program as a whole. If we're thinking of
Speaker 13: the perfect prime example, Okay, we talk to a student
Speaker 13: in high school, we kind of get connected with them
Speaker 13: somewhere between their freshmen and junior year. Those are the
Speaker 13: meet and greets that I go out and have with
Speaker 13: all the schools that participate in the program once or
Speaker 13: twice a year. Once we spark that interest, we're looking
Speaker 13: to get that junior to have a summer job between
Speaker 13: their junior and senior year. Make sure that they like
Speaker 13: whatever trade they're thinking about. You know, for pet it's
Speaker 13: the electrician. Want to get him out on that job
Speaker 13: shadow see see if that's what he likes. If he
Speaker 13: likes that and he works through the summer, the perfect
Speaker 13: plan is that student then comes back to high school
Speaker 13: their senior year. That company has now hired them, so
Speaker 13: they are either co opting or they're just already employed
Speaker 13: waiting to graduate that year. We have them apply for
Speaker 13: our scholarship. Nine times out of ten student wins the scholarship,
Speaker 13: they're already placed they graduate, So now we've given them
Speaker 13: direct placement. We've given them a scholarship of five to
Speaker 13: twenty five hundred dollars for transition money that can be
Speaker 13: used for whatever, whether it's a down payment for a car, clothing, tools,
Speaker 13: anything like that. And then the pure focus of the
Speaker 13: program is once they get out of high school, we've
Speaker 13: got them direct place, We've got them a toolkit, we've
Speaker 13: got them a scholarship. I like to tell any student,
Speaker 13: once we get you into the industry, if you figure
Speaker 13: out that it's not for you, that's just what it is.
Speaker 13: It's just not for you. Because we've opened every door,
Speaker 13: we've made it as simple as possible, and we just
Speaker 13: want to make sure that we're sparking that interest. So
Speaker 13: every time I'm on your show, I can't can't. I
Speaker 13: was gonna say this at the end, but I want
Speaker 13: to kind of plug you out. I got to thank
Speaker 13: you and Joe. You guys have an amazing platform. You
Speaker 13: guys have us on the support that you've given us
Speaker 13: and allowed us to be on your platform. Promote our program,
Speaker 13: promote the great things we're doing. It's amazing. I'm Brian.
Speaker 13: We couldn't do it without you, guys, And I just
Speaker 13: want you to know that every time I'm on your
Speaker 13: show never fails. A grandpa, a mom, a dad, somebody
Speaker 13: reaches out to me because they heard me talking. And
Speaker 13: every single time that's happened, we've got their grandson or
Speaker 13: son or daughter place.
Speaker 1: That's awesome them. That's exactly why I love having you
Speaker 1: on the show, because you think about what you just said.
Speaker 1: You got some a kid just out of high school
Speaker 1: already making money, employed in something that he already hears,
Speaker 1: she already has familiarity with. Because of this introductory component,
Speaker 1: they're making money as opposed to heading over and sitting
Speaker 1: in music appreciation class and a four year college degree
Speaker 1: that's digging them a giant hole in the ground in debt.
Speaker 1: I mean, fast forward four years. They probably got a
Speaker 1: big bank account, savings account, maybe they're already participating in
Speaker 1: the retirement funding. They're working every single day, and somebody
Speaker 1: else is coming out with a sheepskin from a university
Speaker 1: with a music appreciation degree or like my degree, political
Speaker 1: science degree and kind of puzzling at what am I
Speaker 1: going to do, gonna be a barista at Starbucks. I
Speaker 1: just love the program. I love the concept. I can't
Speaker 1: thank you enough for what you're doing. And I'll recommend
Speaker 1: my listeners go to Tools program dot org where they
Speaker 1: can get all the details about this event and get
Speaker 1: registered for it. It's going to be a great time,
Speaker 1: and it lasts a long time. It starts at noon,
Speaker 1: it goes all the way to five point thirty.
Speaker 13: It's the first day of the March Madness Tournament. It's
Speaker 13: kind of a ploy there, right. You just come and
Speaker 13: get all your golfing and all your drinking and eating
Speaker 13: in and then get that phone out and start making
Speaker 13: those parlays.
Speaker 1: Nick Smiley, Tools Program, I hope you have a wildly
Speaker 1: successful event. And for folks out there, parents, grandparents, whoever
Speaker 1: has connection with the young people. Hell, the young people
Speaker 1: might be listening, get in touch with the Tools Program

Speaker 9: This is fifty five karc AN iHeartRadio Station.
Speaker 1: Our iHeartRadio Musical seven twenty one. If you're about KRCD
Speaker 1: talk station. One of my favorite times a week, it's
Speaker 1: time for the former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: Christophersmith Miner, to vent his spleen this Smith event. Welcome back, Christopher.
Speaker 1: I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 5: My friend, I did, brother, had a great weekend, and
Speaker 5: it's always good to come on. I look forward to
Speaker 5: my time with you and your listening audience each week.
Speaker 1: I did too. Man. I enjoy what you have to say,
Speaker 1: and you point out some really great observations, and I
Speaker 1: would just chime in that I too, had a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 1: She may be listening. My mom prepared Paul out of
Speaker 1: me a wonderful Irish meal last night. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it was so good. Got to spend time with mom
Speaker 1: a few hours over hanging out of her place, and
Speaker 1: just a great family evening getting ready for today with
Speaker 1: Saint Patrick's Day so thank you, Mom, we had a
Speaker 1: wonderful time.
Speaker 5: Well, happy say Patrick's Day to you, and I'll give
Speaker 5: a shout out to my big brother who turns sixty
Speaker 5: five today.
Speaker 1: Oh happy birthday. Yeah.
Speaker 5: You know what I want to talk about this morning
Speaker 5: is I want to connect some dots between the dismantling
Speaker 5: of the Department of Education on the federal level and
Speaker 5: what is happening in our classrooms, but specifically our parents.
Speaker 5: And so what I see politically is a period of
Speaker 5: time where schools across this country, depending on where you lived,
Speaker 5: were disrespecting or separating children from their parents as it
Speaker 5: relates to raising them. And so you saw parents going
Speaker 5: to school board meetings trying to articulate points about their children,
Speaker 5: and school boards across this country even going so far
Speaker 5: to have those parents arrested, and it didn't matter what
Speaker 5: the subject matter was. The parent is the power. And
Speaker 5: so now what you're seeing is the federal government, through
Speaker 5: the Executive brand, saying you know what, I'm going to
Speaker 5: dismantle this federal agency, and I'm going to empower each
Speaker 5: individual state to kill or the education that they believe
Speaker 5: best serves their communities. People. Because I'm talking to people
Speaker 5: Brian Thomas. They're saying, well, the executive branch is trying
Speaker 5: to get rid of education. They are all kinds of
Speaker 5: iterations of this. That is absolutely crazy what the executive
Speaker 5: branch is saying. I'm going to take the money that
Speaker 5: you all that we're dishing out, and we're going to
Speaker 5: allocate that to each of the states and let you
Speaker 5: determine how you want to educate your kids. And why
Speaker 5: this is important to me, Brian Thomas is I am
Speaker 5: a conservative man who believes in fatherhood and being a
Speaker 5: great dad like you, and I don't want any teacher.
Speaker 5: And I love teachers. My wife was a teacher. I
Speaker 5: don't want any teacher telling me how to raise my child.
Speaker 5: If my child goes to school and is thinking about suicide,
Speaker 5: I want the school to call me and tell me
Speaker 5: what's going on with my child. If my child is saying, hey,
Speaker 5: I think I'm I want the school to call me
Speaker 5: the parent and tell me what's going on with my
Speaker 5: minor child. If my child is in a classroom with
Speaker 5: a furry and my child comes home barking or MEOWI
Speaker 5: and they're accommodating the furry with some kind of litter box,
Speaker 5: in the bathroom. I want to know that that's going
Speaker 5: on with my child, and no teacher has the ability
Speaker 5: to keep that information from a parent. And so what's
Speaker 5: going on to the left, the Democrats who are lost
Speaker 5: their way, they don't understand that parents are rising up
Speaker 5: saying I want to raise my child now. If you
Speaker 5: on the West Coast want to have furries and you
Speaker 5: want to accommodate them with litter boxes inside of your restrooms,
Speaker 5: you can do that on the West Coast. If you
Speaker 5: want to do that on the East Coast, it's okay,
Speaker 5: but not in the Midwest. We don't want furries. And
Speaker 5: if there is a hurry and my child is coming
Speaker 5: home meowing because the kid next to him as a furry,
Speaker 5: and I don't know what the hell is going on,
Speaker 5: I want the teacher to tell me about it. Brian Thomas,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying is so real, it's really happening.
Speaker 2: It's scary, it is.
Speaker 1: And you know, to the folks on the East and
Speaker 1: West Coast, you don't have to allow your school districts
Speaker 1: to do that. You can rise up. And if the
Speaker 1: general consensus in any given community with the school board
Speaker 1: is that no, I do not abide that, and I,
Speaker 1: as a parent, am entitled to know this information. Then
Speaker 1: they can vote in a school board that I'll move
Speaker 1: in that direction. As long as we've got the flexibility
Speaker 1: to deal with what we want, then we should be
Speaker 1: able to do it. But in all cases, everywhere, my
Speaker 1: argument would be along your lines, Christopher, parents are entitled
Speaker 1: to know what's going on. They are the parent. The
Speaker 1: teachers stand in the shoes of the parents while they're
Speaker 1: at school. But that's just from a you know, a
Speaker 1: liability perspective in local parenthice is what it's known under
Speaker 1: the law. But that does not take away the parents'
Speaker 1: right to raise their children as a fit Amen. Exclamation
Speaker 1: point will continue with Christopher Smithman more Smith. Event after
Speaker 1: I mentioned my good friends at Bud Herbert Motors more
Speaker 1: than seventy five years. They are proud of Bud Herbert Motors.
Speaker 1: The name is legendary. BUTTERB Motors started the operation, you know,
Speaker 1: so many years ago and always said, the most expensive
Speaker 1: tool you'll ever buy is a cheap one. That's because
Speaker 1: they don't last, they fall apart and then you're back
Speaker 1: looking out for another one. That's if you go to
Speaker 1: the box store. Work with fifth generation Famine operator Bud Herbert.
Speaker 1: You will be working with a Herbert family member. They
Speaker 1: are proud of their organization and they will take all
Speaker 1: the efforts necessary to find the right equipment for you.
Speaker 1: And they only carry the finest, world class brands. You
Speaker 1: got your John Deere's, your x Marks steel and Honda
Speaker 1: power equipment. That's where I got Mahanda pushmoher and they
Speaker 1: told me it's the last one you're ever gonna have
Speaker 1: to buy, isn't it amazing? I'm done my entire life.
Speaker 1: I am done with pushbowers delivered to your front door
Speaker 1: or your driveways, the case may be. And they service
Speaker 1: everything they sell, and they're so knowledgeable about what they sell.
Speaker 1: It's just the box stores don't have any vested interest
Speaker 1: in making sure you're happy and with the right equipment.
Speaker 1: So got a Budebertmotors dot com to learn more. Check
Speaker 1: out what they've got there Bud Herbertmotors dot com and

Speaker 1: traffic update or maybe not seven thirty here fifty five
Speaker 1: karriseit the talk station Brian Thomas with Christopher Smitherman, the
Speaker 1: former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, with the
Speaker 1: smither Van. Have at it, Christopher, you got the floor.
Speaker 5: Brian Thomas. Look I watched with amazement with SpaceX launching
Speaker 5: this weekend. Oh yeah, going to a space station to
Speaker 5: rescue American astronauts and bring them home. And so by
Speaker 5: the next time we are talking, God willing those astronauts
Speaker 5: will be back on Earth. And as I watched in
Speaker 5: amazement the technology, even the rocket returning to Earth and
Speaker 5: landing on its own. This notion of rockets. You know
Speaker 5: that you and I grew up with them going into
Speaker 5: the Atlantic Ocean. Yeah, and then we had to go
Speaker 5: fish them out. Right now it's reusable. It comes right
Speaker 5: back and right on the landing strip. Boom, you know,
Speaker 5: it lands.
Speaker 1: It's amazing.
Speaker 5: The arm it's amazing.
Speaker 1: You know what it reminds me of, like it reminds
Speaker 1: me of something like from a sci fi movie. Back
Speaker 1: in the nineteen fifties, You and they had no concept
Speaker 1: of how space travel would actually work. And you go
Speaker 1: back and you look at and like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: look at that. That's ridiculous. But the rockets would always
Speaker 1: land right the way they took off. They would just
Speaker 1: you know, thrusters in the rocket would land standing straight up,
Speaker 1: which we know during our space exploration that's not the
Speaker 1: way it really worked. But look at this, it does work.
Speaker 1: That way now. I mean, it's just I just can't
Speaker 1: it over it.
Speaker 5: It was amazing to watch. And then the video feed
Speaker 5: that we were able to capture from takeoff all the
Speaker 5: way to space, all the way to docking to the
Speaker 5: space station is just remarkable. I could absolutely be a
Speaker 5: geek about some of this kind of stuff. I find
Speaker 5: it incredibly exciting, and I know that it's an completely
Speaker 5: new industry which will continue to drive our economy in
Speaker 5: ways that we can't even imagine because what they're learning
Speaker 5: with space travel will be applied in so many different ways,
Speaker 5: so many different companies will be created through this. And
Speaker 5: so I go, there's a guy named Elon Musk that's
Speaker 5: behind this, and he's now talking about going to Mars.
Speaker 5: But in this conversation with whether it was Tesla Starlink
Speaker 5: owning what was a Twitter now is X and I'm
Speaker 5: sure he owns many other things that I'm missing, including
Speaker 5: space X, he now positioned himself and one hundred maybe
Speaker 5: two hundred people that are saying, you know what, I
Speaker 5: need to do a deep dive, support the president and
Speaker 5: get in here through this organization they're calling DOGE and
Speaker 5: figure out what our federal government is doing and how
Speaker 5: they're spending their money, and in that the left has
Speaker 5: decided to make him a pariah, a very bad person,
Speaker 5: when they used to love him. This is the guy
Speaker 5: who has Tesla space x. You know, I love the
Speaker 5: social media platform, whether you know Twitter, We love Elon Musk.
Speaker 5: And now that he has aligned himself with the federal
Speaker 5: government and the executive branch and specifically President Trump, the
Speaker 5: left wants to kill him. They're literally setting things on fire,
Speaker 5: going after people's personal teslas, going after dealerships. That is violence,
Speaker 5: and there should be no place in politics for violence.
Speaker 5: This was the party that said we are tolerant, we
Speaker 5: want to expand we're inclusive of everybody. Our tent is
Speaker 5: big enough for anybody in everybody. And here we see
Speaker 5: the truth. A party that cannot accept the election result,
Speaker 5: and what they're trying to do through federal judges, through intimidation,
Speaker 5: is trying to overthrow the results, are make it difficult
Speaker 5: for the executive branch to govern.
Speaker 1: It is really, really truly unhinged. Christopher, and I just
Speaker 1: keep pointing back, you know, like we've got this video
Speaker 1: that's gone viral, Barack Obama talking about getting rid of
Speaker 1: fraud waste and abuse. Back in twenty eleven, he put
Speaker 1: Joe Biden in charge of it, and he cited a
Speaker 1: bunch of illustrations of you know, American tax payer dollars
Speaker 1: shouldn't be going to this fraud wasted abuse. It was
Speaker 1: a good concept back then. It's never been a bipartisan thing. Finally,
Speaker 1: you got a guy that's fit for the job. He's
Speaker 1: not even drawn a salary. He's taken a break from
Speaker 1: his own money making profitable entities to do this on
Speaker 1: behalf of the American people in order to save us
Speaker 1: from ourselves. Elected officials weren't going after it. But when
Speaker 1: you look at what he's cut out and what the
Speaker 1: efforts are that he has led to cut the fraud,
Speaker 1: waste abuse out of government, Like, wait a second, how
Speaker 1: could you be against this? How could you be against
Speaker 1: getting rid of SOSIS security numbers for people who are
Speaker 1: in their hundreds. You know that's a possible area of fraud.
Speaker 1: Someone could use that number and get an unlawful employment.
Speaker 1: They could get checks that aren't properly do. That's a simple,
Speaker 1: low hanging fruit, and yet you're against it. I don't
Speaker 1: mean they're defending the indefensible or trying to anyway, I
Speaker 1: think unsuccessfully, just screaming into the air that, oh my god, evil, evil,
Speaker 1: Orange Man's Apprentice is going It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 5: Elon Musk is the richest man in the world. He
Speaker 5: doesn't need this, No, he doesn't need anybody's Social Security number,
Speaker 5: this insanity that they are pushing. His motive is, we
Speaker 5: are thirty six trillion dollars in debt, and our government,
Speaker 5: our United States of America, will not be able to
Speaker 5: survive if we don't get the spending under control. And
Speaker 5: the best place to start is waste and fraud and corruption.
Speaker 5: And so he's really dealing with the low hanging fruit.
Speaker 5: And then so we're we're not having discussions about as
Speaker 5: you discided, you just said, incited one hundred and fifty
Speaker 5: year old getting a Social Security check. If we're worried
Speaker 5: about the condition of social security, we don't want checks
Speaker 5: going out to people that are one hundred and fifteen
Speaker 5: years old, that are dead and somebody else is cashing
Speaker 5: the check. And I just can't see why any Democrat
Speaker 5: can be against fraud, can be against corruption, can be
Speaker 5: against waste. And so at the end of the day,
Speaker 5: it's a losing proposition for them as we move into
Speaker 5: the two year election, and I'm going, what are you
Speaker 5: guys gonna run on? Are you gonna say you spent
Speaker 5: the last two years Brian Thomas saying I was against fraud,
Speaker 5: I was against Doug against It doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't, And good luck with that messaging. Let's
Speaker 1: pause when Chrisoph're back for a little bit more. It's
Speaker 1: seven thirty seven right now. If if you five KRCD talk station,

Speaker 1: It's seven forty one if if do you five KRCD
Speaker 1: talk station. Monday. Monday's Brian James off at the top
Speaker 1: of their news and we're gonna hear from doctor Catherine
Speaker 1: Reid's got a book out eight thirty Fat, Stressed and Sick, MSG,
Speaker 1: Processed Food and America's health crisis should be a good
Speaker 1: conversation with the doctor at eight thirty. The meantime, more
Speaker 1: with Christopher Smithman and the smith Event.
Speaker 5: Christopher Brian, We've been watching protests at these universities across
Speaker 5: the United States of America, and most people who have
Speaker 5: graduated from some of these institutions can't even recognize them,
Speaker 5: like Columbia University, like Harvard, like Yale. So many alumni
Speaker 5: are embarrassed by what they're seeing. Where Jewish students are
Speaker 5: being targeted by people who are carrying Hamas flags, which
Speaker 5: is a terrorist organization, on their campuses, with boards that
Speaker 5: have refused to intervene, presidents that have refused to hold
Speaker 5: the students accountable, and it's taking the executive branch to
Speaker 5: stay and step in. We are not going to allow
Speaker 5: anti Semitic behavior, not language, because that's protected. Your behavior.
Speaker 5: Where you are threatening Jewish students, you are standing in
Speaker 5: their way so they cannot get into the library, or
Speaker 5: to the classroom, or to wherever they're trying to go.
Speaker 5: No one understands why these universities are allowing the behavior
Speaker 5: because their free speech is protected. So that's not what
Speaker 5: we're dealing with. We're dealing with you threatening people, setting
Speaker 5: things on fire, breaking windows, vandalism. You don't have the
Speaker 5: right if you are from another country to come into
Speaker 5: our country and then threaten other people. That is crossing
Speaker 5: the lines. But my point is Columbia, Harvard, and Yale,
Speaker 5: they should never give them back the four hundred million dollars.
Speaker 5: We should force Columbia to step up and say every
Speaker 5: student who comes here, no matter where you're from in
Speaker 5: the world, it doesn't matter your child can come here safely,
Speaker 5: get a good education, and come home in one piece
Speaker 5: as my daughter Brian Thomas is looking at universities because
Speaker 5: there are a lots of parents that are in my situation.
Speaker 5: I've been saving incrementally for my daughter, like I've done
Speaker 5: for the other five to go to college. So we
Speaker 5: have this dream for our children to get a good education.
Speaker 5: So my point is I now, in the back of
Speaker 5: my mind, I'm thinking, when I go to these college visits,
Speaker 5: which we just did one, what's gonna happen? Is this
Speaker 5: what I'm gonna call one of these woke universities where
Speaker 5: I have to turn my TV on and see people
Speaker 5: like they did in Trump Power this past week. They're
Speaker 5: chanting down with this holding Hama's flags, being arrested. It's
Speaker 5: not what I want for my child. I don't mind
Speaker 5: peaceful protests, I don't mind speech that is protected. That's
Speaker 5: the conservative nature. But when it turns to violence, Brian.
Speaker 1: Thomas, it's wrong.
Speaker 5: What is the left doing? What This is a democratic
Speaker 5: party that people are constantly saying. Brian Thomas in conclusion,
Speaker 5: I don't recognize this democratic party. This is not my
Speaker 5: grandfather's party, This is not my father's party. This party
Speaker 5: has left me. I didn't leave the Democratic Party. The
Speaker 5: Democratic Party has left me. I am hearing that drum
Speaker 5: beat all across this great state of Ohio, and I'm
Speaker 5: seeing it on social media by so many people, And
Speaker 5: I just do not understand why these woke universities are
Speaker 5: not stepping in and saying violence is wrong. We condemn it.
Speaker 5: And if it were happening to black students, if there
Speaker 5: were white students standing in the front of a live
Speaker 5: ary blacking black students are African American students from entering,
Speaker 5: we would hear from the Democratic Party no matter what
Speaker 5: their race was. Well, no matter who they're talking heads are.
Speaker 1: You hear from the Republicans as well as they are
Speaker 1: standing up for the rights of the Jewish students at
Speaker 1: these universities. And again, you know, to your point, we
Speaker 1: got those Nazis on the bridge. They're allowed to speak
Speaker 1: their Nazi venom, but they're not allowed to block traffic
Speaker 1: and getting people's faces. That will be an assault, I
Speaker 1: would argue, because you know, battery is when you make
Speaker 1: physical contact. Assault is when you create the eminent apprehension
Speaker 1: that you're going to get harmed. So you know, that's
Speaker 1: going on in these campuses. But that's a very excellent point.
Speaker 1: It was going to make it if you didn't make it.
Speaker 1: This is a race of people. They may practice Judaism
Speaker 1: as a religion, but regardless of whether they do or not,
Speaker 1: and many of my Jewish friends are not practicing Jews,
Speaker 1: but they are still Jewish people. They're going after a
Speaker 1: race of people, and that's a race of people that
Speaker 1: may or may not be in favor of Israel. They
Speaker 1: may be in favor of a Kalestinian state. A lot
Speaker 1: of Jewish people profess to be of that mindset. So
Speaker 1: you're just painting with a broad brush, going after all
Speaker 1: Jewish students just because they're Jews. And that is inherently racism,
Speaker 1: but it's got its own name, of course, anti Semitism.
Speaker 1: It's awful.
Speaker 5: And I Brian Thomas, there's a difference between the Palestinian people,
Speaker 5: as you know, and Harmas. Harmas is a terrorist organization,
Speaker 5: and I'm very careful I'm not talking about the Palestinian people.
Speaker 5: I'm talking about Harmas. And we've got kids on college
Speaker 5: campuses with the Harmas flag, a terrorist organization, some of
Speaker 5: them from other parts of the world. Their guests in
Speaker 5: our country, blocking American citizens or other guests who are
Speaker 5: here studying at our major university. I support the federal
Speaker 5: government from pulling their four hundred million dollars of funding
Speaker 5: from Columbia. Don't stop their executive branch. Go all the
Speaker 5: way to every university that refuses to protect any race
Speaker 5: of people. But we're discussing right now the Jewish students
Speaker 5: that are there where acts of violence are being practiced
Speaker 5: upon them. It's wrong, and I denounce it.
Speaker 1: And I am in favor of what you just said, Christopher.
Speaker 1: I share your your your observations on that. And you
Speaker 1: know the other thing we've learned in all this putting
Speaker 1: aside the issue that led to the withholding of funds.
Speaker 1: Isn't it amazing how many hundreds of millions and billions
Speaker 1: of dollars get thrown from the American taxpayer to these universities.
Speaker 1: It's just mind blowing.
Speaker 3: I just that's a whole nother day is rocket.
Speaker 1: We'll save that for Nave beginning.
Speaker 5: Should they even beginning the money people can follow me
Speaker 5: on x at vote Smithman brother, and they should get
Speaker 5: next week.
Speaker 1: They should do that. Take care of my friend, have
Speaker 1: a wonderful week. It's seven forty eight to fifty five

Speaker 1: We'll clear up and it'll be sunny today, high fifty four,
Speaker 1: clear skies over night, thirty nine for the low seventy
Speaker 1: tomorrow with sunny sky's a few clouds over night down
Speaker 1: at fifty two and a windy Wednesday cold front with
Speaker 1: rains shown up around sunset, but you on ahead of that,
Speaker 1: we'll have a highest seventy two. It's thirty six degrees.
Speaker 1: Right now, It's time for a traffic update from the UC.
Speaker 12: Health Traffic Center at the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center
Speaker 12: offers innovative clinical trials in the region's only young onset
Speaker 12: cola rectal cancer program called five one three, five eight
Speaker 12: five UCCC. There's an accident on I seventy five North
Speaker 12: Mountain Paddock Road. It blocks the left lane, so you're
Speaker 12: on the breaks from Mitchell Avenue. Also with stall on
Speaker 12: seventy five South found at Norwood Lateral.
Speaker 1: It's been moved to.
Speaker 10: The right side.
Speaker 12: I'm Heather Pasco on fifty five KRC the talk station.
Speaker 1: Seven fifty three, a fifty five KRCD talk station. A
Speaker 1: very happy Monday to you. We'll do our money Monday
Speaker 1: thing with Brian James and again doctor Kathleen Read with
Speaker 1: the book Fat, Stressed and Sick MSG process Food in
Speaker 1: America's Health Crisis. Doctor Reed joins the program at a
Speaker 1: thirty to talk about that book a little bit insight
Speaker 1: into it. And as I started out the program with
Speaker 1: that CNN survey and talking about Democrats being well upset
Speaker 1: with their own party in the direction of the party's
Speaker 1: going kind of silver what Christopher was talking about. But
Speaker 1: fifty seven to forty two percent say that Democrats should
Speaker 1: mainly work to stop the Republican agenda as opposed to
Speaker 1: working with the GOPED for maybe to get something along
Speaker 1: the lines of what Democrats want into legislation. I know
Speaker 1: that seems like a tough road to ho these days,
Speaker 1: but just fighting anything that Republicans want, period, end of story.
Speaker 1: And you know, you go back to Christopher's observations and
Speaker 1: defending the indefensible. It seems like insanity. And what are
Speaker 1: they asserting They can say no to what the Republicans
Speaker 1: are asking or pushing for, even though it makes them
Speaker 1: look like idiots. I don't understand how you can be
Speaker 1: in favor of fraud, waste, and abuse, which is the
Speaker 1: point that Christopher was making that I've been making a
Speaker 1: lot of late. Everybody has been but Democrats in a
Speaker 1: state of disarray. You know, Chucky Schumer's up against the
Speaker 1: wall now because he voted to keep the government open.
Speaker 1: I thought that's what the Democrats always wanted, Oh, don't
Speaker 1: shut down the government. Well, they found themselves in a
Speaker 1: rather challenging position of being the party who would absolutely
Speaker 1: have been responsible for shutting down the federal government, which
Speaker 1: would have left everything in Donald Trump's control. He gets
Speaker 1: to decide what's essential in government and what's not. And
Speaker 1: I have a feeling the Department of Government efficiency would
Speaker 1: have been deemed essential. So and and I kind of
Speaker 1: what prompted that I looked up in this left wing
Speaker 1: group Greater Sin Saint Politics on Facebook is pointing out
Speaker 1: this this rally. And I'm not going to give you
Speaker 1: the details because I think it sounds stupid, but Stand
Speaker 1: for Justice protests to hold Warren Davidson accountable. Bring your
Speaker 1: signs and join Westside Democrat Club as we call for
Speaker 1: Representative Warren Davidson to defend his constituents from Nazis terrorizing
Speaker 1: our communities and dangerous executive orders threatening Ohioan safety and livelihoods.
Speaker 1: We got to be quick to know Congressman Davidson's not
Speaker 1: a Nazi. He wasn't viewing Nazi propaganda or Nazi vile bile.
Speaker 1: And I don't know what executive orders that Warren Davidson
Speaker 1: is responsible for that are threatening Ohioan safety and livelihoods.
Speaker 1: Warren Davidson doesn't execut issue executive orders, so see Republican
Speaker 1: protest them. Regardless of the good he's done for his constituents,
Speaker 1: evil Republican protest him. Seven fifty six. If you I
Speaker 1: have Kosity talk Station Money Money with Brian James up next,
Speaker 1: I hope he can stick around Trump's.
Speaker 3: First one hundred days.
Speaker 14: Every day America's deadline is over.
Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC, the Talk Station.
Speaker 1: This report is sponsored.
Speaker 3: Donald Trump rashing. The economic recession looming? What happens next?
Speaker 3: Watch what happened? Will happen right here on fifty five KRC,
Speaker 3: the Talk Station.
Speaker 1: Eight oh five at fifty five kr C the Talk Station.
Speaker 1: Regular listeners know what time it is. Brian Thomas always
Speaker 1: happy to welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show.
Speaker 1: All were financials Brian James to do money Monday. Brian,
Speaker 1: welcome back and have you Saint Patrick's day.
Speaker 14: Good morning, regular and irregular listeners, And back to you, Brian,
Speaker 14: same to you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got a couple of irregular listeners out there anyhow,
Speaker 1: so your irregular speakers as well. Yeah, I understand sort
Speaker 1: of reciprocal tariff, because if someone is tariffing our goods
Speaker 1: going in, then why should they do that. I'm level
Speaker 1: playing field kind of guy. It's difficult to operate in
Speaker 1: a level playing field considering the cost of doing business
Speaker 1: relative to any given countries. You know, ohsha practices or not,
Speaker 1: or the presence of slave labor or not. But all
Speaker 1: things aside. At least I can get my head around, Well,
Speaker 1: if they're charging twenty five percent on our goods coming
Speaker 1: in and then a corresponding tariff on their goods coming in,
Speaker 1: would you know, serve to perhaps end the tariffs completely.
Speaker 1: But if you're trying to tariff somebody into doing something
Speaker 1: they otherwise wouldn't do, and we ended up in this
Speaker 1: trade war because of course they'll put reciprocal tariffs on.
Speaker 1: So tariffs kind of bother me. And it's one of
Speaker 1: the things I believe I differ with in the Trump administration.
Speaker 1: But people are freaked out about tariffs and kind of
Speaker 1: panicking and it has impacted the stock market at least,
Speaker 1: although they've been, you know, predicting a correction for a
Speaker 1: long time now, Brian, and I know you've read articles
Speaker 1: about a correction coming. These drops in the markets have
Speaker 1: been attributed to the Trump tariffs. So what's this story
Speaker 1: about this and should we be panicking? Well, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: lots of unpacked there.
Speaker 14: The first thing let's talk about is you mentioned potential
Speaker 14: correction on the way, Well, congratulations, it's here. We are
Speaker 14: ten percent below the highest peak on the S and
Speaker 14: P five hundred that's what's commonly known as a correction.
Speaker 14: We're not calling this a a bear mark or anything
Speaker 14: like that. We had a correction as recently as twenty three.
Speaker 14: We have volatility, of course comes and goes. Yeah, this
Speaker 14: is of course being driven by the tariffs. And it's
Speaker 14: not so much the tariffs, it's the back and forth.
Speaker 14: What the market can handle bad news, it can handle
Speaker 14: good news. What it can't handle is unknown news. And
Speaker 14: with the Trump administration waffling back and forth on whether
Speaker 14: we're gonna put these tariffs against Canada or no, we're
Speaker 14: gonna hold off for a month, that kind of thing.
Speaker 14: What the market wants to know is how likely our
Speaker 14: company is going to be able to make a dollar
Speaker 14: and how many dollars are they going to make? And
Speaker 14: when we've got the rules changing, you know, think of
Speaker 14: it this way. Can we predict if the Bengals are
Speaker 14: going to win a game if they change the length
Speaker 14: of the field during the game. You can't really predict
Speaker 14: exactly anything when when kind of the metrics of how
Speaker 14: we measure things are changing all the time, so as
Speaker 14: tariffs and the rules are changing on a daily basis,
Speaker 14: not only the Trump administration but also as you mentioned,
Speaker 14: countries are reciprocating, so we're just moving things back and
Speaker 14: forth on both ends. The market hates that, and that's
Speaker 14: why we're in a bit of a downturn here.
Speaker 1: Well, I would putting them in place and just saying
Speaker 1: that's it, they're fixed. Would that provide some stability in
Speaker 1: the market or the market would go down simply because
Speaker 1: it's going to cost more to purchase foreign goods and
Speaker 1: we'll be exporting fewer American goods. Well, I don't know.
Speaker 14: I don't think that would happen because we never say
Speaker 14: we're gonna put this tariff in place. It's gonna sit
Speaker 14: here for two years. We're going to use it until
Speaker 14: we get what we want. And that's the unpredictable part.
Speaker 14: We have gotten the responses, you know, as a negotiating tool,
Speaker 14: these are things that have that have elicited responses, and
Speaker 14: we've gotten other countries to start acting as we've wanted
Speaker 14: them to. You know, that's not quite a tariff, but
Speaker 14: our threats to back out of NATO has gotten finally
Speaker 14: European nations to start spending the correct or closer to
Speaker 14: the correct percentages of their GDPs on defense. That's the
Speaker 14: same structure they're trying here. Let's just simply make the
Speaker 14: change the rules, change the inputs, meaning the US is
Speaker 14: going to put less into these kinds of things. That's
Speaker 14: going to force everybody to react in a manner that
Speaker 14: we're hoping to gain from them, and then we can
Speaker 14: see whether we still need it. We don't want permanent tariffs.
Speaker 14: They're not a way to make money. They're a way
Speaker 14: to change the behavior of those we're doing business with,
Speaker 14: and once we get that, we'll.
Speaker 1: Back out, all right, Well, pitting over to buy seller hold,
Speaker 1: what do we what do we do with a plummeting stock?
Speaker 1: And I mean most of everything I think I'm invested
Speaker 1: in through my financial planner index funds, so it's filled.
Speaker 1: It's comprised of hundreds of different stocks. So I'm not
Speaker 1: picking and choosing which stocks I'm personally holding. It's in
Speaker 1: a bundle of other stocks. But assuming someone is buying
Speaker 1: a specific stock, like let's just use Tesla as an example,
Speaker 1: which is down fifty percent, how do you decide what
Speaker 1: to do with something like that?
Speaker 14: Brian Sure, Well, those specific types of examples, it depends
Speaker 14: on what your what your goal is.
Speaker 3: If your goal is.
Speaker 14: Simply to build a financial plan for your household and
Speaker 14: execute on that. And you need growth to keep up
Speaker 14: with inflation over time. But your goal is not to
Speaker 14: try to be the market or to own cool stocks
Speaker 14: that you can one up people on the on the
Speaker 14: first tee of the golf outing every Saturday morning. Yeah,
Speaker 14: then you're taking the right approach. At the end of
Speaker 14: the day, all that matters is that you can you
Speaker 14: can outpace inflation and grow your assets and still live
Speaker 14: the lifestyle you're trying to. That's a little different than
Speaker 14: I want to own Tesla, and I really support Elon Musk,
Speaker 14: so I'm going to ride this out. Well, that better
Speaker 14: not be your Neste, because that's going to be a
Speaker 14: volatile stock. And the reasons for volatility in that specific
Speaker 14: example are completely self inflicted. Yes, man invented a product
Speaker 14: that everybody wanted and that filled a need, and then
Speaker 14: he chose to throw it into the fire for whatever reason.
Speaker 1: I cut you off. Go ahead, Oh no, you know,
Speaker 1: but I mean people are holding him personally responsible for,
Speaker 1: you know, exercising some cuts in government, and that's I
Speaker 1: suppose they're prerogative, but you know, five minutes ago he
Speaker 1: was the dark of the left because he's going to
Speaker 1: save the planet from carbon emissions, and everybody was out
Speaker 1: buying Tesla's the virtue signal or on the mistaken belief
Speaker 1: that it was environmental, the environmentally good thing to do.
Speaker 14: Correct, And if you you it's hard to even point
Speaker 14: at what the motivations are because if it was about
Speaker 14: you know, usually we blame greed and the greed of
Speaker 14: corporate America and so on and so forth. Well, he
Speaker 14: had to know, he's not a stupid man. He had
Speaker 14: to know that he was going to take some hits,
Speaker 14: a few politions, oh yeah, spots along the way, and
Speaker 14: many of his companies by making these moves. And he
Speaker 14: made them anyway, which tells us that he's a leader
Speaker 14: who is not driven by profit and efficiency. He's driven
Speaker 14: at least in some part by power.
Speaker 1: Indeed. Well, okay, so I understand you. Managing emotions is important.
Speaker 1: And of course, if you have you know, a financial
Speaker 1: planner managing your portfolio and it is in all these
Speaker 1: you know, mixed index funds, then just ride it out.
Speaker 1: It's all going to go away. Don't divest because the
Speaker 1: market's gone down. Hell, I've been through the downs and
Speaker 1: ups over my life, and as you always point out,
Speaker 1: Brian James, it always ends up going up over time.
Speaker 1: At least historically, that's always been the trend. Unless something
Speaker 1: like the Fiat currency collapses because of our overspending and
Speaker 1: government that's a completely different scenario that we can't plan for.
Speaker 1: But beyond that, it just continues to go up over
Speaker 1: time in spite of the downturns from time to time.
Speaker 14: Yeah, and thanks for the minder that we weren't even
Speaker 14: discussing the article at ant here with my little side
Speaker 14: tour on Elon Musk. But no, this is what I
Speaker 14: tell my clients every time we have any kind of
Speaker 14: a concern, which is that it is long as long
Speaker 14: as there is greed in the market, as long as
Speaker 14: someone outs there out there once more dollars than they
Speaker 14: currently have, then there is going to be a stock market.
Speaker 14: Stock market has existed in some fashion for the last
Speaker 14: four or five hundred years. This is why you learned
Speaker 14: about the Dutch East India Company in the fifth grade.
Speaker 14: You didn't know why you were learning it. Your fifth
Speaker 14: grade teacher didn't know why they were teaching it. But
Speaker 14: this is why it was the origin of the stock market.
Speaker 14: That's five hundred years ago. So now fast forward to today,
Speaker 14: and every company under the sun worth at salt you
Speaker 14: can buy shares of, and sometimes they go up and down.
Speaker 14: I think what it boils down to, Brian Thomas, is
Speaker 14: that there are five years that I consider attention getters
Speaker 14: within the last century. That's two thousand and eight, nineteen
Speaker 14: thirty seven, seventy four, two thousand and two, and twenty
Speaker 14: twenty two.
Speaker 1: We just had one.
Speaker 14: These are all years where the market was down more
Speaker 14: than fifteen percent. What they all have in common is
Speaker 14: every last one of them was followed by a year
Speaker 14: where the pendulum swung back the other way and got
Speaker 14: back most, if not all, of the of what had
Speaker 14: been lost. So if you can make sure you hang
Speaker 14: on for a three year time period, then you're going
Speaker 14: to be okay. And we do that by making sure
Speaker 14: that the dollars we need in that period aren't exposed
Speaker 14: to this in the first place. That's an emergency fund,
Speaker 14: all right.
Speaker 1: For those out there buying individual stocks, I mean, your
Speaker 1: options when the thing goes down is buy seller, hold,
Speaker 1: And I like to buy option because if you believe
Speaker 1: in the business and you think it has legs and
Speaker 1: will ultimately come back because it's providing a service or
Speaker 1: good that people value, then you may be good in
Speaker 1: buying more. It's a buying opportunity because it's probably going
Speaker 1: to go back up, although that's not the case with
Speaker 1: Boeing of late.
Speaker 14: That's true, but again, that's the whole point we were
Speaker 14: talking about before any one stock is going to have
Speaker 14: its issues that you can't see coming out of left field.
Speaker 14: Hopefully most of the people were talking to are on
Speaker 14: their way to work and you have a four to
Speaker 14: oh one K, four h three B or something like that.
Speaker 1: You are congratulations.
Speaker 14: You are already doing the right thing, as long as
Speaker 14: you haven't gone into your payroll department and told them
Speaker 14: to stop pulling money out to contribute to your bi
Speaker 14: weekly or weekly paycheck or whatever you have because you
Speaker 14: are investing through this downturn. I love this situation, Brian,
Speaker 14: for people who have just gotten started. In the last
Speaker 14: five years, we have seen the absolute best the markets
Speaker 14: can be, and we could have seen the worst. Those
Speaker 14: of you who remember twenty two into twenty three and
Speaker 14: twenty four, you'll remember that you saw your four to
Speaker 14: oh one K grow very very quickly, and it might
Speaker 14: have confused you that's the pendulum swinging, pendulum swinging back
Speaker 14: the other way, and that's those dollars that you invested
Speaker 14: at the bottom getting a nitro boost all the way
Speaker 14: back to the top. So if you leave it alone,
Speaker 14: you're doing the right thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're acquiring more stock for less money when it's
Speaker 1: in a downturn. So I'd like that advice for folks
Speaker 1: just starting out. You're doing it at the right time.
Speaker 1: Right now, you're plumping down the entire cycle. Now, I
Speaker 1: just wait for it and watch your money grow, because
Speaker 1: it ultimately will. It's possible bring prying back to talk
Speaker 1: about apparently one in three folks have been victims of
Speaker 1: a financial scam. More with Money, mondays Brian James after

Speaker 1: One more segment here with Money Monday's Brian James. There's
Speaker 1: just some frightening statistics on the amount of fraud and
Speaker 1: scam that's going on out there. Brian James. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: So we're seeing a spike.
Speaker 14: I go figure, whenever there is a crazy market activity,
Speaker 14: we wind up with with people trying to take advantage.
Speaker 14: So about one in three adults have experienced financial fraud
Speaker 14: in the past twelve months. About two and five have
Speaker 14: actually lost money, So that includes nineteen percent of people
Speaker 14: who lost money because somebody accessed their personal information. At
Speaker 14: about a quarter of them actually sent money themselves to
Speaker 14: a scammer or paid for some kind of phony service
Speaker 14: or something.
Speaker 1: This isn't new. We've had fraud.
Speaker 14: Of course, there were counterfeit currencies as long as there
Speaker 14: have been currencies. We had our friend Charles Ponzi might
Speaker 14: remember him, Oh yeah, in the eighteenth century, and then
Speaker 14: ever since it's been the rise of telecommunications and social
Speaker 14: media has just made it all louder.
Speaker 1: But the endgame is pretty much still the same, it
Speaker 1: really is, And we talk every week with Dave Hatter
Speaker 1: for Tech Friday at six thirty on Fridays, and a
Speaker 1: week doesn't go by, he isn't highlighting or elevating another
Speaker 1: form of fraud or attention. And the FBI quite often
Speaker 1: will issue warnings and alerts about new scams. It's just
Speaker 1: so easy to do because so many people are connected
Speaker 1: with social media and the Internet, and there are a
Speaker 1: lot of gullible people out there, and most notably the
Speaker 1: senior community. I'm not taking a poke at him, it's
Speaker 1: just they tend to be more believing and and and
Speaker 1: and more prone to being subject to these attacks. So
Speaker 1: are we looking at any particular type or style of
Speaker 1: financial fraud that this article highlights? Well, I think what we're.
Speaker 14: Seeing most you kind of hinted at it already, or
Speaker 14: seniors are being taken advantage of because you know, at
Speaker 14: some point, for every last one of us, the shields
Speaker 14: go down just a little bit, and the scammers out
Speaker 14: there know that. And there are team ways to get
Speaker 14: in touch with people nowadays and can and convince them
Speaker 14: how to think a little differently using social media, of course,
Speaker 14: So the ways to kind of protect here is if
Speaker 14: you feel like you might be in a situation like this,
Speaker 14: you might have a loved one in a situation like this,
Speaker 14: then make sure you have alerts set up on all
Speaker 14: of your financial accounts. There are ways that you if
Speaker 14: you look deep in the settings and those kinds of
Speaker 14: things that you know. Normally people log into their financial
Speaker 14: sites and get what they need and get back out.
Speaker 14: We'll spend some time for a pot of coffee and
Speaker 14: look at the different bells and whistles inside your credit
Speaker 14: card provider, in your bank's website, they will text you
Speaker 14: if transactions are happening, if somebody bugs in from a
Speaker 14: different computer that the bank has not seen before. There
Speaker 14: are a lot of ways that you can be informed
Speaker 14: that something's going wrong, and consider having those texts go
Speaker 14: to somebody who isn't you, If you have a trusted
Speaker 14: adult child, or you know, even just anybody, just a
Speaker 14: second set of eyes, just like anything else, can be
Speaker 14: really really helpful and protect us from these things.
Speaker 1: And two factor authentication, changing your passwords, getting a password
Speaker 1: manager that creates really complex passwords that people can't hack into,
Speaker 1: and shut off your credit I mean you can contact
Speaker 1: trans and Union and Experience and close your credit out
Speaker 1: so no one can you know, can can try to
Speaker 1: open credit in your name. That's something I did years ago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a great point. Freeze your credit.
Speaker 14: You can do that. You can turn it on and off.
Speaker 14: It adds an extra step. But if you don't really
Speaker 14: need to apply for a new credit all that often,
Speaker 14: and most people shouldn't be, that's a whole other conversations
Speaker 14: you are, then yeah, freeze it off and just make
Speaker 14: it impossible to use.
Speaker 1: One mora'll throw out there.
Speaker 14: If you have not logged in or set up your
Speaker 14: own social security profile a my social security profile, then
Speaker 14: you should go do that. You may not be receiving
Speaker 14: social Security or maybe you don't have any questions about
Speaker 14: it or whatever, but you should still go claim it.
Speaker 14: That way, you'll know that you're the one who got it.
Speaker 14: That's another way that people are stealing identities.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 14: If someone has never set up their soci security profile
Speaker 14: and they get a hold of your social security number, well,
Speaker 14: they can begin to impersonate you a lot more easily.
Speaker 1: So go set that up and lock it down. Well,
Speaker 1: and they can begin in person you a lot more
Speaker 1: easily if they have access to all the information on
Speaker 1: your computers, and you know as Dave points out all
Speaker 1: the time every week. Don't click on suspicious links or emails.
Speaker 1: I mean I don't click on I mean my friends
Speaker 1: with my mom sends me links, and my friends will
Speaker 1: send me links, and I am loath to click on
Speaker 1: any of them because it literally could be something that
Speaker 1: would maliciously launch software into my computer.
Speaker 14: Yeah, if you suspect you might get an email that
Speaker 14: looks like your bank, Yeah, it's going to have the logo,
Speaker 14: it's going to look like something they legitimately sent you.
Speaker 14: If you have a suspicion that maybe this is a
Speaker 14: real thing I need to deal with, don't click that link.
Speaker 1: Log into the bank's website.
Speaker 14: If it's truly an important problem, it'll be the first
Speaker 14: thing in your face in a form of a notification
Speaker 14: or something like that. But don't click the email in
Speaker 14: or the link inside the email. Go straight to the
Speaker 14: bank or call them and ask if there's anything they
Speaker 14: need or if they're noticing any problems.
Speaker 1: On their end. Amen to that. And you got to
Speaker 1: be very proactive on this. And if you're proactive, the
Speaker 1: likelihood of getting scammed or having your money ripped off
Speaker 1: it drops precipitously. Brian Jennings. Appreciate the sound advice as always,
Speaker 1: and it's important to get a financial planner that's working
Speaker 1: in your court and feed based financial plannets have a
Speaker 1: fiduciary obligation to you to maximize the return on your investment,
Speaker 1: so do that and then you don't have to worry
Speaker 1: about it. Brian James, thanks for the time he spilled
Speaker 1: my listeners each and every week here for money Monday,
Speaker 1: and I'll look forward to having another discussion with you
Speaker 1: next week.
Speaker 14: Happy Saint Patrick's Day. May all things stay green all
Speaker 14: day long.
Speaker 1: Amen, brother A twenty five Right now, if you have care,
Speaker 1: se the talk station anybody, get in cut in touch

Speaker 3: Nine fifty five KRC dot com.
Speaker 1: This let's turn to our health. I am pleased to
Speaker 1: welcome to the fifty five KRC Morning Show. Doctor Catherine
Speaker 1: aka Katie Reid. You's the founder of Unblind My Mind, inco,
Speaker 1: nonprofit dedicated to improving health through informed food choices. It's
Speaker 1: got a background of biotech, cancer, pharmaceuticals and brings a
Speaker 1: wealth of scientific knowledge to her work on ronic inflammatory disease.
Speaker 1: Joining the fifty five KRC Morning Show to talk about
Speaker 1: a book she co wrote along with Barbara Pice, PhD
Speaker 1: It is Fat, Stressed and Sick msg Processed Food in
Speaker 1: America's health Crisis. Doctor Reid is a real pleasure to
Speaker 1: have you on the program this morning.
Speaker 15: Oh thank you for having me.
Speaker 1: And I don't know how you feel about it. I
Speaker 1: honestly very excited about RFK Junior and hopefully his ability
Speaker 1: through raising our awareness so kind of the things you're
Speaker 1: talking about in your book, so we can make informed
Speaker 1: choices about our diets, because I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people are really uninformed about processed foods and are what's
Speaker 1: in them, including as you illustrate and number one out
Speaker 1: of the gate and the title of your book MSG.
Speaker 1: I remember all the raids was getting Chinese restaurants to
Speaker 1: drop MSG from their from the foods, and we're going
Speaker 1: back a couple of decades at least on that one,
Speaker 1: and a lot of them advertised no MSG added. Good.
Speaker 1: Well apparently it's all over the place.
Speaker 2: It is, It's all over the place.
Speaker 15: And yeah, you know, I'm excited about RFK Junior making
Speaker 15: some changes about you know, being aware and having a
Speaker 15: you know, back to real whole foods, not such the process,
Speaker 15: but the Yeah, the processed foods. The MSG is hidden
Speaker 15: in the ingredient with and so even foods that will
Speaker 15: say no MSG added, what it's implying is it's not
Speaker 15: pure MSG are not including MG that's created from the
Speaker 15: processing of proteins.
Speaker 14: Okay, it's a bit of.
Speaker 1: A yeah, So it's not on the label as contains MSG.
Speaker 1: But MSG is in the foods that we buy, the
Speaker 1: process foods we buy because of how it's how the
Speaker 1: food is made.
Speaker 15: How it's processed, and if you think about ingredient labels,
Speaker 15: they're not required to put the manufacturing process on there
Speaker 15: and then the end product resulting from that processing. So
Speaker 15: if you take a protein and you process it with
Speaker 15: a bunch of you know, pasteurization, acid, hydrolysis, fermentation, it'll
Speaker 15: degrade the protein into its component parts, the amino acids,
Speaker 15: and glutamate is an amino acid.
Speaker 2: And they know that.
Speaker 15: I mean, that's how MSG used to be process is
Speaker 15: using wheat gluten and doing an acid hydrolysis.
Speaker 4: On the wheat gluten.
Speaker 15: But now there's cheaper processes to making MSG, so they're
Speaker 15: very well aware that processing these proteins makes MSG. It's
Speaker 15: a very addicting component, so we keep going for more.
Speaker 15: It hijacks our taste receptors and our brain thinks it's wonderful,
Speaker 15: and so it's like rigged against us trying to find
Speaker 15: a healthier, more quality of life.
Speaker 1: Well, isn't that the point of MSG being an additive
Speaker 1: or as a byproduct of processing to make the food
Speaker 1: taste better, like salt makes food taste better.
Speaker 5: Exactly.
Speaker 15: It is the underlying mechanism of all addictions. But so
Speaker 15: they're they're putting it in there too for you know,
Speaker 15: increasing profits, increasing you know, consumption.
Speaker 1: Okay, now, I think most people know that is a
Speaker 1: just a giant a dietary recommendation. We all hear it,
Speaker 1: stay away from processed foods. How do you define processed foods?
Speaker 1: Is like if I go out to the Indian restaurant,
Speaker 1: I get carry out, I don't think of that as
Speaker 1: processed food. They're using spinach, they're using a specific kind
Speaker 1: of cheese, or they're using whole chunks of meat, And
Speaker 1: if I did that at home, it wouldn't be defined
Speaker 1: as process So how does that, you know, homemade preparation
Speaker 1: type thing differ from a processed food as we know it.
Speaker 15: Yeah, and there's different categories on the degrees of processing.
Speaker 15: So it's the ultra processed foods that they discussed in
Speaker 15: the book, you know, fat, stressed, and sick. MSG processed
Speaker 15: foods in America's health crisis. You know, that can be
Speaker 15: purchased on Amazon. That it really is the ultra processed
Speaker 15: foods that contains the largest amount of the MSG because
Speaker 15: of the processing of the proteins. So you just mentioned cheese,
Speaker 15: and a lot of people won't consider that process, but
Speaker 15: that is process you're taking. Yeah, you're taking milk, you're
Speaker 15: fermenting it, you're you know, having it. You know, cultures
Speaker 15: that are added to it to degrade the proteins and caseine,
Speaker 15: the major protein in milk or dairy products, is then
Speaker 15: degraded and so you get glutamate as a byproduct of
Speaker 15: the fermentation of that milk. The more age the.
Speaker 1: Cheese, the more the higher the MSG.
Speaker 15: And so you know, even the breads the way they're
Speaker 15: making them, they're fortifying it with gluten, they're fermenting it,
Speaker 15: they're adding you know, a bunch of different ingredients that
Speaker 15: will degrade that protein. So if you think about cheese
Speaker 15: and bread, well, wow, you know that's like a big
Speaker 15: staple in American But then like you know, the the
Speaker 15: Americans craze on protein. You know, the protein powders collagen
Speaker 15: seems to be a big fad lately, but they're using
Speaker 15: hydrolyzed collagen. They're using an acid hydrolysis process on that
Speaker 15: collagen that will degrade that protein and break it up
Speaker 15: into its subunits of amino acids, glutamate, you know, being
Speaker 15: a significant part of that degradation. Weigh protein is a
Speaker 15: it's actually a cheese byproduct, waste product from you know,
Speaker 15: making cheese, and so they wanted to use whey because
Speaker 15: they didn't want to have a bunch of waste from
Speaker 15: the cheese manufacturing. So now it's all over our you know,
Speaker 15: different protein enriched products, but like whig protein isolate or
Speaker 15: so a protein isolate, these are code words of it
Speaker 15: went through an extreme amount of processing. So what is
Speaker 15: not processed would be eating you know, like you said,
Speaker 15: your vegetables, your whole grains like you know, brown rice
Speaker 15: or quin waw. Starchy vegetables could be used as a
Speaker 15: carbohyde source like.
Speaker 5: Potatoes or sweet potatoes, root of bega.
Speaker 15: Having you know, good whole quality unsured or unprocessed meat
Speaker 15: like pasta, raised chicken, grass fed beef, wild caught, h seafood,
Speaker 15: and then fruits, organic raw nuts, seeds, you know. Again,
Speaker 15: the glycis shape or the round up that they're putting in.
Speaker 1: Some of these products also kind of contribute.
Speaker 15: To inflammation and some of that glutamate signaling even in
Speaker 15: the body. So those are some of the things that
Speaker 15: would be considered unprocessed. You know, you're literally just you know,
Speaker 15: so when you talk about Indian food, you know they're
Speaker 15: obviously putting a lot of you know, cheese in there,
Speaker 15: or dairy or a lot of these cream things and sauces.
Speaker 15: And even though it's got spinach, you're.
Speaker 1: Going after my pillock panier. Yeah, well, we don't do
Speaker 1: it all the time, but are we doing our souls
Speaker 1: in the Thomas household on My wife makes sour dough
Speaker 1: bread every week and uses it from sour dough starter.
Speaker 1: There's no additives, there's none of the multi gazillion labels
Speaker 1: that you're you know, the components that are in a
Speaker 1: store bought loaf of bread which will lasts like three
Speaker 1: or four weeks, if not months on your shelf. Is
Speaker 1: that a healthful thing to do? By contrast? Or are
Speaker 1: we sort of spin in our wheels thinking it's better
Speaker 1: for us?
Speaker 15: Well, I mean it is better for you than like
Speaker 15: the like you said, like the wonderbread that are like,
Speaker 15: you know, able to be in your house for weeks
Speaker 15: and weeks with half molding.
Speaker 1: Half life of patrol plutonium.
Speaker 15: Yeah exactly, but you know it's using cultures, as you
Speaker 15: suggest that the sour fermentation is using lacto bacillis bacteria
Speaker 15: to ferment the wheat, and that's how they used to
Speaker 15: make msg is fermenting gee wheat.
Speaker 1: Well, you're bursting all kinds of bubbles this morning, doctor.
Speaker 15: I know, I know, you know, but it is a
Speaker 15: happy Monday, like you said, and uh, you know, it's
Speaker 15: it's awareness and so you and if people start moving
Speaker 15: the needle like Okay, I'm going to have you know,
Speaker 15: less cheese in my diet or I'm going to have
Speaker 15: more newer cheese as opposed to like older age cheese
Speaker 15: like mozzarella or cottage cheese. And you're kind of just
Speaker 15: making more mindful choices to improve the health, especially if
Speaker 15: you're afflicted with a chronic inflammatory condition, which most of
Speaker 15: us are, Like, I mean, I think there's like seventy
Speaker 15: percent of the population that has at least one chronic
Speaker 15: inflammatory condition.
Speaker 2: Most have two.
Speaker 15: So we're dealing with a you know, a health crisis.
Speaker 15: And so this is all about getting the word out
Speaker 15: there and making more informed health choices.
Speaker 1: Well, and looping back to MSG that apparently is everywhere.
Speaker 1: Is that the problem with MSG is is this inflammatory
Speaker 1: issues that most of us are dealing with.
Speaker 15: Yeah, and so you know it is very highly inflammatory,
Speaker 15: but it's a neurotransmitter, so it's activating our nervous system,
Speaker 15: but it can trigger the inflammatory response where we're almost
Speaker 15: neurologically why to the inflammatory you know condition, And so
Speaker 15: we make all the glutamate we need where we need it,
Speaker 15: when we need it for the neurological activation or a
Speaker 15: variety of other functions. It serves in the body metabolics,
Speaker 15: you know, energy production, insulin release. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 15: signaling a variety of different functions. So when it's at
Speaker 15: high levels, it's signaling stress. It is the stress response
Speaker 15: in our body at high levels. So if you think
Speaker 15: about like anxiety for example, or people who are experiencing
Speaker 15: like panic attacks, it is typically excessive glutamate signaling that
Speaker 15: is triggering. Yes, and so if you are constantly in
Speaker 15: that you know, fight, flight, fear, fawn response, it is
Speaker 15: an excess of glutamate signaling going on in your nervous
Speaker 15: system and so yeah, and so it is. It's fascinating
Speaker 15: how this is absolutely wired to our survival response.
Speaker 8: And some people are wired.
Speaker 15: To thinking the cheetah is around the corner constantly even
Speaker 15: though there's no cheetah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it. Yeah, well, okay, Now other than that,
Speaker 1: you know, anxiety feeling, you know so many people have it.
Speaker 1: I was just ready to ask you, you know, if if
Speaker 1: so many people are dealing with this, this inflammatory disease
Speaker 1: will call it, how do they know the signs and
Speaker 1: symptoms of it? Because you know, I think of inflammation.
Speaker 1: I think of inflammation. You know, it's like you know,
Speaker 1: your your your fingers roll and or you got arthritis
Speaker 1: or something like that. But you know that the telltale
Speaker 1: signs of it, So anxiety being one of them. Are
Speaker 1: there any other signs that someone might be suffering from
Speaker 1: this perhaps MSG connected problem.
Speaker 15: Yeah, And that's where I kind of have a whole
Speaker 15: chapter in the book, you know, fact Stress and sick
Speaker 15: MSG Processed Foods in America's Health Crisis. I have a
Speaker 15: whole chapter dedicated to all the various conditions or you
Speaker 15: know what we call these states that are associated with
Speaker 15: high levels of glutamate. So obesity we wouldn't think as
Speaker 15: an inflammatory condition, but it is energy and balance. Glutamate
Speaker 15: signaling is absolutely at the basis of that. There's an
Speaker 15: entire category of depression labeled glutamate based depression. So there's depression, anxiety.
Speaker 15: My whole journey started with my youngest being on the
Speaker 15: spectrum with autism. And for those parents or anybody who's
Speaker 15: afflicted with autism, you can understand that many are it
Speaker 15: trapped in a fight like fear fawn response, or they're
Speaker 15: very vulnerable to a stress response. It doesn't take much
Speaker 15: from their environment to be like, okay, they want to
Speaker 15: shut down, right, And that she was very sensitive to glutamate,
Speaker 15: had no idea that this was really going to help
Speaker 15: her condition and have a much better quality of life
Speaker 15: by really being aware where the glutamate is in the
Speaker 15: food supply. So cancer and I go through a lot
Speaker 15: of that with cancer is if you think about cancer,
Speaker 15: cells is a metabolic cellular abnormality. Lutamate signaling will cause
Speaker 15: a lot of that abnormality because it's a stress response,
Speaker 15: and cancer can sometimes be what the body thinks is
Speaker 15: a cure to that stress response.
Speaker 1: I understand.
Speaker 15: Yeah, and so it's it is it's you know, we're
Speaker 15: getting like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, you know, even migraine headaches are
Speaker 15: typically attributed to the successive glutamate signaling. So, like you said,
Speaker 15: the swelling could be, you know, one of these signs
Speaker 15: of you know, but pain response is a glut tomate
Speaker 15: signaling response often. I mean, there's a lot of other
Speaker 15: signals going on to but glutamate is often at the
Speaker 15: base of some of these pain responses.
Speaker 1: I understand.
Speaker 15: Yeah, we're talking like the mother load here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I understand sugar is not good for you either,
Speaker 1: So I just by cutting sugar out of my diet,
Speaker 1: I've been able to lose like seventeen pounds over the
Speaker 1: past six months. I just stay the hell away from
Speaker 1: all added sugar. So maybe by doing that, I'm also
Speaker 1: getting a lot of the MSG out of my diet
Speaker 1: because everything's got added sugar, and it's a product with
Speaker 1: added sugar, I'm not going to eat it exactly.
Speaker 2: No, It's true.
Speaker 13: It's like, so once you start.
Speaker 15: Getting rid of refined sugars, you are eliminating a lot
Speaker 15: of processed foods, and that is where you know, you
Speaker 15: start to get rid of a lot of the MSG sources.
Speaker 1: Now I've learned a lot today, Doctor Reed. This has
Speaker 1: been a fascinating conversation. Your book Fat, Stressed and Sick
Speaker 1: MSG Processed food An America's Health Crisis is on my
Speaker 1: blog page fifty five cars dot com and the link
Speaker 1: so everybody can get it. And I appreciate what you're
Speaker 1: doing raising America's awareness to where the problems come from.
Speaker 1: And I hope you keep up the great work, and
Speaker 1: I hope a lot more people start paying attention. One
Speaker 1: more time for the weather. Tene nine says today turning
Speaker 1: sunny and we'll have a higher fifty four down to
Speaker 1: thirty nine overnight, clear sky, mostly sun tomorrow with the
Speaker 1: highest seventy few clouds over night down to fifty two,
Speaker 1: and a warm windy day. Wednesday, they got a front
Speaker 1: coming in rain and a cooler temperature show up around sunset.
Speaker 1: We'll see a highest seventy two though right now it's
Speaker 1: thirty seven degrees in time for final traffic from the US.
Speaker 12: Health Traffic Center. The University of Cincinnati Cancer Center offers
Speaker 12: innovative clinical trials in the region's only young onset cola
Speaker 12: rectal Cancer Program called five one three five.
Speaker 10: Eighty five UCCC.
Speaker 12: I'm keeping an eye on a stalled vehicle seventy five
Speaker 12: northbound at Galbreth Road. Your left lane is blocked so
Speaker 12: here on the breaks from Norwood Lateral. Also planned for
Speaker 12: slowdowns on I two seventy five westbound between New Richmond
Speaker 12: and five Mile and tipsters are reporting some water on
Speaker 12: the roadway Bank Street at seventy five. I'm Heather Pasco
Speaker 12: on fifty five KRC.
Speaker 10: The Talk Station.
Speaker 1: It's a forty nine if if you five KRC the
Speaker 1: talk station, wrapping up a Monday interesting conversation, learn some
Speaker 1: stuff today with doctor Reid, and you get a copy
Speaker 1: of that book a fifty five KRC dot com. Check
Speaker 1: out my conversation with Nick Smile, executive director of the
Speaker 1: Tools Program. Got a big event coming up, get the
Speaker 1: get signed up for that. And that is the organization
Speaker 1: that's going to get you or your young person at
Speaker 1: home connected with a job in the trades where they're
Speaker 1: going to earn while they learn and have a lifetime
Speaker 1: career that is actually very well paying. And yes, there
Speaker 1: are a ton of job opportunities out there in the trades.
Speaker 1: Always love having them on and get real excited for
Speaker 1: opportunities that young people have that don't involve going to
Speaker 1: a four year college again a college degree in being
Speaker 1: one hundred plus thousand dollars in debt at the end
Speaker 1: of the process. Christopher smithment with the Smith event as
Speaker 1: well in my conversation with Brian James, I just wanted
Speaker 1: to read a little segment out of this article I
Speaker 1: saw Epoch Times, and it's a it's a read that
Speaker 1: you should read. Massive Lithium ion battery fire raises questions
Speaker 1: about California's energy future and it talks about this fire
Speaker 1: that broke out at this battery storage facility. You probably
Speaker 1: recall me talking about or maybe read about it in
Speaker 1: yourself and the news. But all the shenanigans that went on,
Speaker 1: the fast tracking, the the the the approval process, the
Speaker 1: looking the other way because oh this is green, this
Speaker 1: is a green project, and you know, ignoring the huge,
Speaker 1: huge safety problems that these present. So let me just
Speaker 1: read a little excerpt from it. What's in the plume
Speaker 1: has ample experience with lithium fires. There have been ten
Speaker 1: battery storage fires in California since twenty twenty one, and
Speaker 1: Vistra that's the one that most recently caught fire several
Speaker 1: times used LG batteries comprised of roughly fifty percent manganese,
Speaker 1: nickel and cobalt. At the county's request, the APA began
Speaker 1: monitoring early for air quality testing for hydrogen fluoride, one
Speaker 1: of the most toxic compounds emitted in battery fires, along
Speaker 1: with particulate matter typically measuring in air quality monitoring. Vistra
Speaker 1: also installed its own air monitors, but there was no
Speaker 1: mention of heavy metals in reporting from the EPA, VISTRA,
Speaker 1: state agencies, or the county, not until scientists working with
Speaker 1: the Elkhorn Slaw that's the area made a stunning announcement
Speaker 1: in late January. As a result of the fallout from
Speaker 1: the smoke, surface soil and nature preserve had drastically elevated
Speaker 1: levels of these compounds hundreds two thousands of times above
Speaker 1: background levels. Part of the concern over heavy metal that
Speaker 1: they don't biodegrade and can easily accumulate in the food chain.
Speaker 1: Even at very low levels. They have a cumulative impact
Speaker 1: over time, making the determination of a safe threshold a
Speaker 1: matter of contention. In humans, exposure to heavy metals and
Speaker 1: other toxins such as pesticides, can give longer term impacts,
Speaker 1: damaging DNA, interfering with protein and enzyme function, creating oxidative stress,
Speaker 1: and stimulating cancer progression. According to multiple global studies in livestock,
Speaker 1: and they had a number of stillborn livestock out there
Speaker 1: real high concentrations after this fire. Studies show exposure can
Speaker 1: cause damage to the central nervous system and reproductive failure,
Speaker 1: as well as impacting other organ systems, among other impacts.
Speaker 1: Nickel and cobalt especially problematic, according to do To Joseph Landolf,
Speaker 1: associated professor with USC's Kex School of Medicine and an
Speaker 1: expert in chemically induced carc carcinenicity who often works with
Speaker 1: the EPA. He said quote Nickel is a carcinogen, especially
Speaker 1: in insoluble form, where it can cause damage to the
Speaker 1: sinuses and lungs, resulting in tumors and occasionally to the kidneys. Normally,
Speaker 1: he said, EPA would conduct a complete risk assessment of
Speaker 1: the whole area, which is expensive and time consuming calculate
Speaker 1: the exposure risk properly. Some industrial hygienis and area resident
Speaker 1: Michael Polcaalba said reporting from the government and VISTRA mitt misleading,
Speaker 1: said from a tennial standpoint, is a big shock that
Speaker 1: EPA was only monitoring for two airborne hazards. Monterey County
Speaker 1: has just taken a back seat, and no one else
Speaker 1: is asking the obvious question, what's in the plume? That
Speaker 1: giving the all clear sign to move back the next
Speaker 1: day was based on just two point five particulate matter
Speaker 1: and hydrogen fluoride, he said, referring to particles measuring two
Speaker 1: point five micrometers in diamond or less used to monitor
Speaker 1: air quality. Said they didn't even consider other contaminants involved.
Speaker 1: And this article just goes on and on and on
Speaker 1: about sort of turning the other way and not providing
Speaker 1: a sufficient information. And this is dangerous stuff. I mean,
Speaker 1: the more I read, the more my mouth fell open
Speaker 1: and disbelief. And these poor folks living in the area,
Speaker 1: you know, it's literally a carpet coating of these dangerous
Speaker 1: compounds on everything. And because it doesn't break down in
Speaker 1: the soil, it's likely to end up in the food chain.
Speaker 1: Plants grow in the soil and it's absorbed up through
Speaker 1: the plants. Cows eat the grass, and of course it's
Speaker 1: absorbed into the cows. I mentioned the reproductive issues. And
Speaker 1: again the article starts out with one farmer out there
Speaker 1: who just shortly after the plume hit up and coated
Speaker 1: the area. He lost quite a few livestock stillborns. So
Speaker 1: you know it ain't green when you think about it.
Speaker 1: Along these lines, of course, you got the manufacturing process
Speaker 1: which is terrible, and you got the slave labor in
Speaker 1: Africa that's bringing forth all these rare earth minerals that
Speaker 1: go into the batteries, and then of course storage of
Speaker 1: the batteries and these runaway fires that happened. So yeah, uh,
Speaker 1: you don't hear that from Greta Thunberg and the global
Speaker 1: warming folks, do you, Yeah, wait till it comes to
Speaker 1: your neighborhood. Anyhow. Epoch Times massive lithium ion battery fire
Speaker 1: raises questions about California's energy future. It's quite a long article,
Speaker 1: but it is well worth read. So check that out
Speaker 1: if you got some free time and you're looking to
Speaker 1: get to enlighten yourself on the dangers associated with this
Speaker 1: fifty five carosy dot com and why you are there. You
Speaker 1: listen to the podcast and getting a copy of doctor
Speaker 1: Read's book, make sure you download your iHeartMedia aps. You
Speaker 1: can stream the audio wherever you happen to be, including Japan.
Speaker 1: Fifty five Caroosee Morning Show one Global. This morning, Keith,
Speaker 1: my friend who listens in here and when he's in town,
Speaker 1: is in Japan and he was streaming the audio right
Speaker 1: there and sent me a picture of Mount Fuji from
Speaker 1: outside of his hotel window. I thought that was really cool.
Speaker 1: So thanks Keith for tuning in from the other side
Speaker 1: of the globe. Tune in tomorrow, Bright Bart Inside Scoop
Speaker 1: along with the Daniel Davis Deep Dive. Have a great day.
Speaker 1: Thanks Joe Strekker for producing the program as always, appreciate you, brother.
