And I hope you had a wonderful weekend. 7 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:45.560 I got to see Wheezer on Saturday night. I put 8 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:47.200 it on a great show. I've seen them a few times. 9 00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:49.560 Went to Columbus for that. It was fun. And a 10 00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.520 whole day of canning yesterday at the Thomas household. If 11 00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:57.520 you care anyway, does anybody want any amazing hot pepper jelly. 12 00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.320 We've got like nine gallons of this stuff. We had 13 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:02.759 so many peppers. My daughters just had this bumper crop 14 00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:06.680 at her place, and so yesterday was pepper jelly day. Anyway, 15 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:09.799 Moving away from the light nature of the weekend onto 16 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.680 the morning, Well, interesting topics we have in the morning 17 00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:13.239 show this morning. 18 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:13.400 We do. 19 00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:15.319 You have quite a few guests. Thank you to Joe Strecker, 20 00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:18.799 who is on his last day of vacation. Sean McMahon 21 00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.040 covering for the vacationing Joe Strecker, who was supposed to 22 00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:24.680 be back tomorrow, although Sean, I'm kind of worried you 23 00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:26.400 might want to clear your schedule off for the week, 24 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:28.920 as Joe threatened he liked Florida so much he was 25 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.040 can see if iHeart had the openings in the Florida 26 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.920 in the state of Florida. So a couple of pictures 27 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:40.120 from the beach. So Joe really apparently enjoyed his time off, 28 00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.760 so I'm worried that he may not return. Fingers crossed 29 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:46.000 on that one coming up though Nick nol ledook Our 30 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:50.200 God Given Freedom who Nick Rode along with Kay Carl Smith, 31 00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:53.280 who's been on the program quite a few times, say 32 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.719 the country's facing a crisis which we could lose. Well, 33 00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:58.680 the country could lose its ability to secure our God 34 00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:01.879 given freedom. The book is about the political efforts to 35 00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:06.239 deny and destroy what God has given us, our god 36 00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.000 and given freedom. Again. That's coming up at seven oh five, 37 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.000 This Smith event. It is Monday. Christopher Smithman joins the 38 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.919 program every Monday, or if he's not available, I'm not 39 00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:16.919 available on a Monday. He's doing on a Tuesday anyway. 40 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:20.560 The Smith event at seven point thirty. Always enjoy hearing 41 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:22.719 from the former Vice mayor of the city. And it 42 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.159 is Monday, so the return of Brian James. Money Monday, 43 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.240 Brian James, how regular families could be affected if the 44 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:32.080 tax cuts expire. Taking one thousand dollars from your four 45 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.560 to one k for emergencies easier than ever, but you 46 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.960 should consider some other options first, and what history tells 47 00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:43.680 us about presidential elections and the stock market as will 48 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.919 be the topics of our conversation's moorn than Brian James 49 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.080 beginning again today too. A five to fall by Melkay, 50 00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:53.080 host of The Melkay Show, her book Americans Anonymous, and 51 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:57.879 maybe a shout out from Todd Sledgeman the sins antava 52 00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:02.039 kind of that wasn't on the original rundown. We we heard 53 00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.199 from Todd Sledge saym looking forward to the Monday segment. 54 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.280 Here's what I want to talk about. So we'll try 55 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:08.159 to iron out the details on that as we move 56 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.680 forward this morning. So we'll either hear from them or 57 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.840 we won't, as the case may be. Love hearing from 58 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.360 you five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, 59 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:19.159 eight hundred eighty two three talk go with pound five 60 00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:22.080 fifty on the at and t phones and where to 61 00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:23.479 start here, Well, let's start. You heard the top of 62 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:25.159 the air news They did mention that New York Times 63 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:29.800 College poll pointing out that Trump was ahead slightly over 64 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:34.639 Harris forty eight forty seven. But on the two conservative 65 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:36.919 or not conservative enough, they looked at Donald Trump asked 66 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.719 the question is he too conservative? Eleven percent say he's 67 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.919 not conservative enough, fifty percent not too far either way, 68 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:45.960 right down the center, and then eight percent say they 69 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:50.199 weren't sure or well refused answer, So thirty two percent 70 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.159 actually say think that Trump is too conservative. Contrast that 71 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:58.560 with Kamala Harris. Forty four percent said she's too liberal 72 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:02.599 or progressive. Nine percent seem to think she's not liberal 73 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.120 or progressive enough. Well, forty two think, well, she's neither 74 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.120 too far either way, five not sure or didn't answer. 75 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:11.120 So there you go. And I thought this figure was 76 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.400 interesting in spite of the fact that Kamala has has 77 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:18.839 not done any one on one press interviews substantively asked 78 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:23.120 her answering questions, putting direct questions to her, and us 79 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:26.360 really not knowing about where she stands. We'll talk about 80 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.480 Bernie Sanders on that one in a minute. But twenty 81 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:31.759 eight percent say they feel they should know more about 82 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.800 Harris in order to support her, only twenty eight percent. 83 00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:40.040 Only nine felt the same way about Trump anyway. I 84 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:41.399 guess you have to have your head in the sand 85 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:43.120 and not know where Trump is on the issues. But 86 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:45.759 as far as Kamala Harris, I don't know how you 87 00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:49.079 could know where she is on the issues. One of 88 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:53.959 the issues apparently increasing and extending and expanding social security. 89 00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.879 I'll get to that in a second here. Bernie Sanders, though, 90 00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.959 saying the quiet part out lot. Maybe when I asked 91 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.360 about Kamala Harris's flip flopping on quite a few of 92 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:11.439 her previously expressed progressive policy position quote NBC anchor Christen 93 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.240 Welker asking Sanders un meet the press. She previously supported 94 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.040 medicare for all, now she does not. She previously supported 95 00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:20.160 a ban on fracking, now she does not. The Senator, 96 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:24.120 our idea is that you have campaigned on. Do you 97 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:32.279 think she is abandoning her progressive ideals? Bernie Sanders, No, 98 00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.240 I don't think she's amanding her ideals. I think she's 99 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:38.199 trying to be pragmatic and doing what she thinks is 100 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:44.519 right in order to win the election. So I read that, 101 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:48.079 and you can interpret it any way you want. She's 102 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:52.639 still inside her head a progressive, a far left liberal. 103 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.000 She has not abandoned those positions. What she's doing is 104 00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:00.279 she's telling you that she has in order to should 105 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.839 get elected. Then what happens after she gets elected? Does 106 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:09.160 anybody believe everything that politicians say? Did you expect everything 107 00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:11.560 they campaign on to be enacted into law? We still 108 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:13.759 have a legislative branch that's going to have to embrace 109 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:17.560 these and come up with some sort of agreement that's 110 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.680 able to make it through both chambers of the executive branch, 111 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:27.759 going on the legislative branch. So what you say you're 112 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:29.600 going to do and what you ultimately do when you're 113 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:34.839 a politician or complete two completely different things. Inspact I. 114 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:38.000 When asked to defend her shifting policy positions during our 115 00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:40.879 first sit down interview, you heard you remember that one. 116 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:42.839 It was a sort of a sit down. CNN did 117 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:47.480 this one, Dana bash right, you saw it. I think 118 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.279 the most important and most significant aspect of my policy 119 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:54.040 perspective and decisions is my values have not changed, Kamala 120 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:56.839 said out loud. You mentioned the Green New Deal. I've 121 00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:59.600 always believed, and I have worked on it, but the 122 00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:02.240 climate crisis is real that this is an urgent matter 123 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.079 to which we should apply metrics that include holding ourselves 124 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.839 to deadlines. Around time. We did that with the Inflation 125 00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.639 Reduction Act. So she's still embracing that in spite of 126 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:14.399 the fact the power's going off in California because they 127 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:19.319 have fully embraced it. On NBC, Bernie Sanders said his 128 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:22.360 views were slightly different than hers, but still considered her 129 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:27.560 a progressive. She has another approach toward moving to universal healthcare, 130 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.800 so not Medicare for all, but some other approach which 131 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:35.199 is basically the same thing as how I read that. 132 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.160 But then again, but again, he said, I think on 133 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:42.759 issues like expanding Medicare, like expanding social Security and lifting 134 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.279 the cap on taxle income that the rich puts so 135 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:49.959 we can raise social security benefits, they need to raise 136 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.199 the minimum wage. I think if a campaign on those issues, 137 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:56.920 raising questions on billionaires, you know what she's gonna win. 138 00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:01.920 I think she can win. Bit so I expanding social security. 139 00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:05.600 Where did I read that we had a real problem 140 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:08.720 with the funding of social security? Oh? Right there. Over 141 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:12.879 the weekend, one of the multitude of articles pointing out 142 00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:17.000 how terrible the finances are in the Social Security program. 143 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:21.240 According to the Old Age Survivor's Disability Insurance Trustee Report, 144 00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:27.560 social Security currently facing a sixty three trillion dollar long 145 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:33.639 term unfunded liabilities sixty three trillion. Can you even get 146 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:39.840 your head around that figure? They say? The report looked 147 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:41.960 at two things. How much money would be missing indefinitely 148 00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:43.720 how much money would be missing in the next seventy 149 00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:46.480 five years. Report determine that there will be a permanent 150 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:49.519 sixty two point eight trillion dollar deficit in about a 151 00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:54.039 twenty three trillion dollars shortage for the next seventy five years. 152 00:08:54.559 --> 00:09:01.000 H trustees of do OASDI did. The report noted that 153 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:04.559 the shortfall could be eliminated if the combined payroll tax 154 00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:08.480 was raised to about seventeen percent, or if there was 155 00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:12.679 a permanent reduction in benefits for all current and future 156 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:18.159 beneficiaries by about twenty six and a half percent. Now, 157 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:21.960 can you swallow or stomach a twenty six and a 158 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:27.519 half percent reduction in your Social Security benefit? Have you 159 00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:33.320 planned for that financially? Is the current benefit you're expecting, 160 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:35.440 the one that you read on the Social Security form 161 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.399 that you get from time to time, which says on 162 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:40.279 the cover, this is not a guarantee of what you're 163 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:43.120 going to get. It's a calculation based upon the current 164 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.240 status of things. But is it enough to get you buy? 165 00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:50.000 Especially noting inflation and the cost of living adjustments apparently 166 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:59.399 for Social Security have not kept up with inflation. And 167 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:01.200 it's a report of the record of the Employee Benefits 168 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.440 Research Institute. I don't know who they are, but they 169 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:06.919 did a reward was released back in April. Eighty eight 170 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:10.240 percent of workers anticipate so SI's security to be the 171 00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:18.200 top source of actual or expected income in retirement. Kama 172 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.679 Harris wants to expand it, and that's just one of 173 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:26.399 the things. She wants to expand Medicare as well. That 174 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:33.720 program also, and I'm being generous with this description shaky ground. 175 00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:38.799 And can you handle a seventy percent increase in your 176 00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:40.960 taxes if you want to go the opposite direction? No 177 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.519 cut in SO Security benefits, but a big cut in 178 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:50.759 your salary.

Get Major Fred 208 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:31.559 Gavin's book A Few Bad Men, for example. That's that 209 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:33.399 was a great conversation with him. You can check it 210 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:35.919 out and then decide for yourself whether that's a book 211 00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.360 you want to get five one, three, seven, four eight 212 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.080 two three talk one five fifty on AT and T phone. 213 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:49.360 Anybody in Springfield, Springfield, Ohio, population sixty thousand. It has 214 00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:52.279 been reported on multiple news sites that they have received, 215 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:57.039 or welcomed, or otherwise had land in their collective laps 216 00:12:57.159 --> 00:13:10.039 twenty thousand Haitian ill legal migrants, just Haitian, apparently exacerbating 217 00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:12.519 what was already described as a significant housing crisis. City 218 00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:16.240 officials have been hearing reports that the Haitian community has 219 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:24.720 been eating pets and wildlife I know. August twenty seventh 220 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.200 City Commission meeting, one local residence said the Haitians were 221 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:33.240 in the park grabbing ducks, cutting the heads off and 222 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:41.039 eating them the local wildlife population. More disturbing the report 223 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:44.200 of a woman who had her cat missing. She put 224 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:46.759 pictures of her cat, wanted to ask the neighbors where 225 00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.120 the cat was, etc. Et cetera, and was at one point, 226 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:52.440 I guess it was their neighbor's house where Haitian migrants 227 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:54.279 were living. She saw the cat hung up in a 228 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:59.480 tree like deer slaughter style, like field dressing, cutting the 229 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:05.919 cat up hanging from a branch like you do a 230 00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:09.120 deer for butchering, and they the Haitians were carving it 231 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:12.879 up to eat. That's a quote from the local resident 232 00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:15.720 facebook post. And you know, I don't know if this 233 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:17.919 is true or not. I just have seen it in 234 00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:20.360 quite a few different places, and this is how things 235 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:23.279 get started. Just because it's there doesn't mean it's actually happening. 236 00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:25.559 But that's why I'm wondering, is this type of thing 237 00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:28.679 really truly happening? If people are reporting it at public 238 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:31.159 meetings and commission meetings, one would think that there's some 239 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.759 measure of accuracy to what's going on there. Some have 240 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.960 refuted the claim as racist fear maggering. Others have provided 241 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:41.399 a receipt showing that cats are indeed part of the 242 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:45.200 Haitian cuisine. Different strokes for different folks. All I know 243 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:51.039 is that somebody's family pet. One local resident told the 244 00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:54.159 city during the meeting, I can't take it anymore, referring 245 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:57.159 to the Haitian migrants littering on her yard and harassing 246 00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:03.240 her and her husband. Resident Glenda Bailey told the city 247 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:06.360 during the meeting, they have become the occupiers. What they've 248 00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:13.480 done is they've replaced the population in Springfield. Back in July, 249 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.039 city Manager Brian Hack wrote through the leaders of the 250 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:22.240 Senate Banking Committee asking for more federal funding. Of course 251 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:26.440 there's your answer, right, don't vote Democrat, Thank you, John. 252 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:30.559 Springfield has seen a surgeon population through immigration that has 253 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:35.000 significantly impacted our ability as a community to produce enough 254 00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:39.279 housing opportunities for all, said Brian Hacked, the city manager, 255 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:42.159 asking and begging and pleading for more federal money to 256 00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:44.840 deal with this problem that the federal government created through 257 00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:48.639 their lacks of immigration policies and refusal to enforce laws 258 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.000 on the books. Elections have consequences, folks. And if you're 259 00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:56.840 about law and order and you're about trying to secure 260 00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:59.360 the border before it's too late, is it too late? 261 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:05.240 By twenty five fifty five car City Talk Stations forty 262 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:12.120 Monday Monday Smith Event Monday Are God Given Freedom by 263 00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:15.480 Nick Noel Monday and Lka, hosts of The Malka Show 264 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.799 with her book Americans Anonymous.

State regulators going to have a hearing 267 00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:27.559 I guess this week since a city hall where residents 268 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:31.120 can comment on Duke Energy's plans to what do you 269 00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:35.519 think raise or lower your rates? Right? Raise raise your 270 00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:37.879 rates by eight percent nearly eight percent of or three years. 271 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:39.720 Public Utility Commission of Ohio is going to be hosted 272 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:45.320 hearing six pm tomorrow, eight oh one Plum Street City 273 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:49.080 Council Chambers. Duke disclosed the rate hikes in an application 274 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.720 filed back in April with Utilities Commission. Land out plans 275 00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:54.720 increase electric rates and charges in Ohio from June first, 276 00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:58.399 twenty twenty five through May thirty, first of twenty eight. 277 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:02.159 Rating police will not include northern Kentucky, where Duke also 278 00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:05.920 provides service. Proposal raise electric service rates about one point 279 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:08.440 seven percent in the first year, six point two in 280 00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:10.720 the second, and seven point nine by the end of 281 00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:13.680 twenty twenty eight a quarter to the High Consumer Council, 282 00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:16.200 which is a WATCHCOB group watchdog group that opposes the 283 00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:19.559 rate increases. Duke disputes the numbers, claiming the rates would 284 00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:23.319 go up six and a half percent cumulatively over three years. 285 00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:26.279 Duke said the rate increase is needed to cover the 286 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:32.880 cost of procurement and delivery. Spokesman John Joysch, speaking with 287 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:35.279 the Cincinni Inquirer, thank you Randy Tucker for reporting. We 288 00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:39.200 really just charge what we pay for supply and distribution, okay. 289 00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:42.960 RAID hikes would affected about eight hundred thousand utility customers 290 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:45.119 here in Southwest to hire result an increase of eleven 291 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:47.640 dollars and twenty seven cents a month in the third year, 292 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:50.240 or annually one hundred and thirty five for the typical 293 00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:54.400 residential compute consumer with one thousand kilowatts of power per 294 00:17:54.440 --> 00:18:00.720 month use see typically residential electric u is.

I'll leave it 301 00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:33.039 to you decide. Hemilin County judge temporarily shuttered it downtown 302 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:37.240 bar after persistent allegations of violence, underage drinking, and crowds 303 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:42.079 that exceed the fire code.

That's my point. That's 366 00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:21.440 why I asked out loud. So Corey's on the phone 367 00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:23.240 with a comment about it. Hey, Corey, thanks for calling 368 00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:24.640 this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show. 369 00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:28.440 Hey morning, Brian. Yeah, I'm on my way to Springfield 370 00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:32.640 now for work, obviously, but uh, Springfield looks like a 371 00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:35.680 third world country. All these Haitians that are brought in there, 372 00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:39.799 they know, none have jobs. They're all homeless. They're checking 373 00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:43.839 up in anywhere they can in that park at the reference. 374 00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:45.920 It's a big park on the northwest side of town, 375 00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:50.119 and it's homeless camps up and down at people sleeping 376 00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:55.160 in their cars, and the trash everywhere. And I haven't 377 00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:58.799 seen them kill a Goo three thing yet, but there 378 00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:02.519 is a more normal carcassons laying around. 379 00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:07.640 Okay, so at least in terms of the numbers and 380 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:10.960 the volume, you're at least witnessing something along the lines 381 00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:13.079 of what's being reported, although you don't have any first 382 00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:15.599 tend knowledge. If they're eating neighbors pets. 383 00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:20.160 Yeah, I haven't seen that yet. But they have overran 384 00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:22.640 the city. Like I said, it looks like a third 385 00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:24.880 world country from what it used to. And they've been 386 00:23:24.920 --> 00:23:26.720 there for a while. They just didn't get sent there 387 00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:29.799 last week or nothing. They've been there for about three months, 388 00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:33.599 and yees, any of the residents around there they can't 389 00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:37.079 take it. And I'm heading there today and I'll be 390 00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:38.799 going up and down the railroad track, which is along 391 00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:42.839 the rail tracks is countless homeless camps. Yeah down, that's 392 00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:44.400 actually a bunch of pictures to send you. 393 00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:47.160 Yeah, do that, And your statement to that effect is 394 00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:49.440 one of the responses that Mike Wilson got like this, 395 00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:51.440 I see them all up and down the railroad tracks, 396 00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:54.720 these homeless encamp and so you're just basically verifying by 397 00:23:54.839 --> 00:23:57.119 what at least one other person who spends time or 398 00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:00.960 lives there has confirmed. So I appreciate Corey you've called 399 00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:02.559 in and he'd been listening to the program a long time. 400 00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:04.960 I trust you at your words. So yeah, Firemount Firemouf 401 00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:07.039 some pictures and we can post them up on the 402 00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:10.079 Morning show page. Careful out there, brother, have a good day, 403 00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:11.759 and thanks for calling in. Five one, three, seven, four, 404 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:13.599 nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to 405 00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:17.039 three talk five fifty on AT and T phones over 406 00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:19.720 the stack is stupid. We go to Arizona where Arizona 407 00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:22.599 Police estimate thirty people were injured when they say a 408 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.359 seventy three year old man drove into the building of 409 00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:30.079 the lodge that they were trying to leave. That's seventy 410 00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.720 three year old Thomas Edwin Kine arrested after the vehicle 411 00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:36.400 drove into the Elks Lodge building at Apache Junction on 412 00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:40.920 Saturday night. Alcohol, according to police, was a contributing factor. 413 00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:47.839 Patchy Junction Police said in a statement, the accident shows 414 00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:49.880 just how danger can you commut a drink and drive. 415 00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:52.319 Alcohol impairs your ability to drive safely by reducing your 416 00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.480 reaction time and decision making skills. Thankfully, no death reported. 417 00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:59.440 Police reported a number of injuries, though of airing in severity. 418 00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:01.920 At least ten people had to be taking a local hospital, 419 00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:06.880 one person in critical but stable condition, fifteen people treated 420 00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:09.440 at the scene for minor injuries, five others took themselves 421 00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:12.279 to the hospital and jail record. Jail records show this 422 00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:15.519 seventy three year old Kine was in custody in Penal County. 423 00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:18.039 Did not immediately return a phone caller court records that 424 00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:21.480 were not available. Regarding court records, but they which weren't 425 00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:25.480 available online yesterday, City said we just want everyone to 426 00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:28.119 remember the drunk driving and have serious consequences, not just 427 00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:31.000 for the driver but for everybody around them. Court of 428 00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:33.559 the Alexs Lodge fa Facebook posts they said that was 429 00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:38.119 thinking every thinking of everybody injured in their families. They 430 00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:40.839 also shared a number of crisis support highlines for those 431 00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:46.640 in need. Okay five come on to five, forty five 432 00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:49.759 fifty five care site talks to you by forty nine 433 00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:57.000 good for to call three seven fifty eight hundred eight 434 00:25:57.039 --> 00:26:05.799 two three talk other wives back to stacker stupid got 435 00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:09.559 A twenty four year old woman discovered she was on 436 00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:14.079 the no fly list for American Airlines No idea why. 437 00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:17.880 Aaron Wright traveling from Albuquerque in New Orleans June twenty seventh 438 00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:19.960 this year, she noticed that she couldn't check in for 439 00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:22.960 her flight. After trying to get through, she spoke to 440 00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:25.960 somebody an American Airlines kiosk who said she eventually who 441 00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:29.240 eventually told her that she was banned from flying on 442 00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:32.599 American airlines. She was talking to Newsweek on this one. 443 00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:35.359 I said she came me very confused and frustrated at 444 00:26:35.359 --> 00:26:38.039 the time because she couldn't recall doing anything to justify 445 00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:42.519 being banned from the airline. She apparently lives in New Mexico. 446 00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:45.000 She's standing in the airport and being told in front 447 00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:47.480 of people that you've been banned as a very embarrassing experience, 448 00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:51.079 especially when you have no clue why the time, she 449 00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:53.640 has staff at the kiosk for the explanation they couldn't 450 00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:58.960 provide her One Newsweek looked to American Airlines for comment 451 00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:01.319 multiple times. Apparently I didn't get one. She felt she 452 00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:03.880 was getting nowhere, so she spent one thousand dollars to 453 00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:06.839 procure another flight, on top of the four hundred dollars 454 00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:09.000 she spent on the ticket that she originally purchased and 455 00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:11.200 was denied access to. She said, I eventually had to 456 00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:14.400 just accept it because they were incapable of reversing anything 457 00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:17.839 without getting corporate security involved. I couldn't miss my sister's 458 00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:20.720 bachelorette party as or made of honor, so I had 459 00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:25.079 to book another flight eight hour wait for that flight. 460 00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:29.160 She was allowed to get on it, though, so during 461 00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:32.400 that time she contacted customer relations department in American Airlines 462 00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:37.480 for answer. She received a response twelve days later from 463 00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:41.079 corporate security telling her that she'd had been banned for 464 00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:46.559 having sexual relations with a man on a flight while intoxicated, 465 00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:50.359 and apparently that came as a bit of a surprise 466 00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:53.440 to her. She is apparently a lesbian, says, so it's 467 00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:59.519 obviously not something that I would do, said, you could 468 00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:02.599 see the funded this misunderstanding. Shelsea felt embarrassed and that 469 00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:04.880 all the people she had spoken to thought that she 470 00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:07.559 was having sexual relations on board of flights. She goes, 471 00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:09.720 it's just so unlike me. I feel pretty helpless in 472 00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:12.960 advocating for myself because I had such a lack of information. 473 00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:16.319 Sent appeal to the corporate security team, explaining that she 474 00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:19.720 hadn't done what they thought she had. After three months 475 00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:25.559 of waiting, she finally got a call. Talking to News, 476 00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:28.119 she said, after months of communication, they decided to take 477 00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:30.400 me off the no fly list until further notice since 478 00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:33.839 they can't figure out what exactly happened. They thought that 479 00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:36.400 I'd been diligent enough to show that it most likely 480 00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:39.519 wasn't me because I was reimbursed from my American Airlines flight, 481 00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:41.960 but was never compensated for the extra flight I had 482 00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:48.400 to book, or the massive inconvenience embarrassment I experienced. Wow, 483 00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:58.640 no mile high clove or her barely and well, it's 484 00:28:58.640 --> 00:29:05.279 like Jay rattliveday here almost recently. Traveling on a flight, 485 00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:08.440 she had a bit of a time while getting comfortable 486 00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:11.680 because the man next to her was invading her leg 487 00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:15.119 room space. Now viral video of course, twenty one year 488 00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:18.000 old Aaron Rymple took an hour and a half flight 489 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:23.000 from Winnipeg to Edmonton to visit her family. After she 490 00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:26.799 sat down, was in the middle seat on the Flare 491 00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:29.519 Airlines flight. Never even heard of Flare Airlines. Man in 492 00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:33.079 the window seats in the window seats spread his knees 493 00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:37.759 out wide, crossing into her personal space and what she 494 00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:42.319 described as man spreading. She said, kept trying to push 495 00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:44.920 his legs lightly back to his side and hopefully they 496 00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:47.279 hadn't give him a tant for him to catch my hands. 497 00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:52.319 He didn't, since she finally reached down to grab something 498 00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:56.559 and pushed his knee toward him more aggressively. Said the 499 00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:58.759 passenger might or might not have been sleeping, but that 500 00:29:58.799 --> 00:30:00.759 he was awake enough to react. When she pushed his 501 00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:03.720 legs back, she said, he moved and shifted himself into 502 00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:12.519 a different position. Older man shorter than her didn't need 503 00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:14.599 to burn her space, she said, she's six feet two 504 00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:17.000 inches tall, and since she was able to sit in 505 00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:20.720 her space, the shorter man obviously should have been able 506 00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:33.279 to do it himself. No man spreading phrasing. Let's see 507 00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:36.240 in the remaining moments of time don't do this. Don't 508 00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:40.160 be this kid. Teenagers been accused of bringing a bb 509 00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:44.359 gun manufactured to look like a glock firearm into a Waltham, 510 00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:48.359 Massachusetts school. What happened last Thursday. Seventeen year old allegedly 511 00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:50.720 brought the gun into the Waltham High School team was 512 00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:53.319 removed from school and placed under arrest. Police released a 513 00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:55.920 comparison photo of the replica gun with a real one, 514 00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:01.559 and they look really identical. At least that We believe 515 00:31:01.559 --> 00:31:03.720 the underlying incident, which was brought to our attention, to 516 00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:06.279 be an isolated event, and have received no information regarding 517 00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:08.759 further threats. Thankfully, the student's name was not released, being 518 00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:11.519 a seventeen year old. But yeah, they do make some 519 00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:15.200 airsoft guns down there that look dead on accurate to 520 00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:17.839 a real firearm. It could easily be confused as a 521 00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:21.559 real firearm. So minu p's and q's and obviously don't 522 00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:23.680 bring them to school. Five afty five ifty five KR 523 00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:25.720 City TALX Station plenty more coming up at six o'clock hour. 524 00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:26.799 I'd love to hear from you if you've got a 525 00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:28.960 comment about something going on, and most notably if I 526 00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:30.720 get friends up there in Springfield. I want to see 527 00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:34.680 if this immigration crisis is real. Corey in the last 528 00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:37.400 phone call said yes, it absolutely is a problem. Reports 529 00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:42.279 of twenty thousand Haitian immigrants landing in the sixty thousand 530 00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:46.640 population Springfield, Ohio. How could anyone get their arms around 531 00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:49.640 that problem? Let me know if you have any personal 532 00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:51.599 information on that.

Actually taking one thousand 555 00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:04.079 dollars from your four to one k for emergencies easier 556 00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:07.119 to do than ever, but consider some other options first, 557 00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:12.319 and also the other topic with Brian James, trying to 558 00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:14.519 find my article here what history tells us about presidential 559 00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:18.200 elections in the stock market. Then we'll hear from Malkay, 560 00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:20.400 host of The Malka Show, Americans anonymous and name of 561 00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:23.480 her book, Restoring Power to the People, One Citizen at 562 00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:27.559 a Time, and maybe a report from Todd Sledgeman. Since 563 00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:29.480 an Eva, we're still trying to figure out whether that's 564 00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:32.359 scheduled for today or not. That's your lineup and I 565 00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:34.400 always enjoy hearing from you, so feel free to call 566 00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:37.400 five one, three, seven nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred 567 00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:39.119 eighty two to three talk time five fifty on ET 568 00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:42.039 and T phones. Just a general request out there to 569 00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:45.359 my resident friends in Springfield, Ohio? Is any of this true? 570 00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:48.079 I am not the only one asking out loud. When 571 00:33:48.079 --> 00:33:52.839 you start reading internet reports of Haitian immigrants eating people's 572 00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:59.079 pets and eating the ducks from local parks, it sounds 573 00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:02.720 like it could be one of those viral lies you 574 00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:05.000 can rely on your online fact checkers. Everybody's kind of 575 00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:07.680 asking the question out loud, is there any truth to this? 576 00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:11.760 It's widely reported that that town of sixty thousand people, 577 00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:15.400 sixty thousand residents of Springfield now has twenty thousand additional 578 00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:21.440 Haitian residents. Illegal immigrants from Haiti being shipped, bust or 579 00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:25.239 otherwise making their way to Springfield, Ohio, Little Old Springfield, 580 00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:28.400 So that obviously creates a housing problem. We have called 581 00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:30.920 the Last Hour. Corey says he works there all the time, 582 00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:32.719 He was heading up there right now and he sees 583 00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:35.280 the homeless camps all over the place and said the 584 00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:39.239 garbage is overwhelming. So one report from one of my 585 00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:42.079 regular listeners who I trust, and give me the right information, 586 00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:44.920 but has no idea whether they're eating the ducks from 587 00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:49.199 the local parks or the cats, which one person described 588 00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:51.679 online as having happened. They had the cat hung up 589 00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:53.400 in a tree. Was their pet cat been missing for 590 00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:55.840 quite a few days and they were slaughtering it like 591 00:34:56.159 --> 00:35:01.239 a field dressing a deer. Fog of the internet, this 592 00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:04.840 is a great illustration everyone. I mean, just type in Springfield, 593 00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:06.880 Ohio Haitian, then you'll come up with all kinds of 594 00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:09.440 people asking the same question, is there any truth to this? 595 00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:12.679 So if you're a resident of Springfield and you could 596 00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:14.119 shed some light, and I'd love to hear from you, 597 00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:16.920 But any other calls welcome as well. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, 598 00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:19.559 fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talks. Now, 599 00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:22.480 endorsements can really impact an election. I got a big 600 00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:26.519 kick out of this one. President Donald Trump got secured 601 00:35:26.519 --> 00:35:30.119 the Fraternal Order of Police, the National Fraternal Order of 602 00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:33.079 Police that is America's largest and oldest police union. He 603 00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:37.679 got their endorsement just last week. Court of Release. FOP 604 00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:41.199 president Patrick Yoh said the groups meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina, 605 00:35:41.199 --> 00:35:45.320 in September sixth that Donald Trump actually attended secured him 606 00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:49.440 the nominator or the support during his time in the 607 00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:51.800 White House. We had a partner and a leader. Today, 608 00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:55.159 mister President, we stand with you, he said in the announcement. 609 00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:57.400 We have your back and we're committed to working tirelessly 610 00:35:57.480 --> 00:36:01.320 for your election. Find the fopn doorsement Republican Party branding 611 00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:05.239 now Donald Trump and JD Vance the pro police ticket, 612 00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:08.400 which is a good label, I think in these modern 613 00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:11.199 times where most people are missing the old days of 614 00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:14.800 strict law enforcement locking people up for committing crimes rather 615 00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:17.519 than while working with the bad guys and helping them 616 00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:19.800 get out of jail or otherwise avoid being picked up 617 00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:23.480 by immigrations and customs enforcement. Not going over real well 618 00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:25.719 as a strategy for the Democrats, at least that's my 619 00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:28.519 perception out in the world, I guess as the people 620 00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:35.199 of Springfield. And that's the FOP national FOP endorsement again, 621 00:36:35.239 --> 00:36:39.199 the largest police union endorsement goes along with the International 622 00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:43.079 Union Police Associations, the National Association of Police Organizations, as 623 00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:47.639 well as countless local state and police advocacy groves all 624 00:36:48.199 --> 00:36:52.960 backing Donald Trump. And I mentioned Trump met with the 625 00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:55.519 FOP committed the national one no similar meeting granted by 626 00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:57.840 the Harris campaign. Accord to the FOP in the news release, 627 00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:00.880 he was at least decent enough to show up explain himself. 628 00:37:04.480 --> 00:37:08.920 FOP president commented commended Trump for championing historic criminal justice 629 00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:13.559 reform policy, encountering efforts to defund the police. America's cities 630 00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:16.599 are under siege, he said, noting that a Trio police 631 00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:19.639 officer suffered gunshot wounds in Milwaukee on the eve of 632 00:37:19.679 --> 00:37:24.880 the FOP meeting. Not a good look. Trump of corporating 633 00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:29.519 policies that allow illuginal immigration, decrease funding for police, prosecution 634 00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:32.639 of police officers for doing their jobs, and misplaced enforcement 635 00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:37.480 of prosecutorial efforts. He said, people like him are targeted 636 00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:41.320 for alleging election improprieties, while violent criminal suspects are allowed 637 00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:45.119 to release with low or no bond and avoid meaningful prosecution. 638 00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:49.960 He's always got to work that election interference in there doesn't, 639 00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:53.239 he said. This creates a climate where the law abiding citizen, 640 00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:56.679 his words, is forced to live in fear and danger. 641 00:37:57.840 --> 00:37:59.440 We don't have to live this way. When I'm President 642 00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:02.079 of the United States. We are not gonna take it anymore, 643 00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:11.320 he said. Pivoting over. Tell me what do you think 644 00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:17.119 which is a better endorsement. Kamala Harris just secured the 645 00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:22.800 Socialist International, described as a worldwide organization of social democratic, 646 00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:27.320 socialist and labor parties. They have out loud express report 647 00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:33.000 for Kamala Harris President of the United States from the 648 00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:35.239 Socialist International. That's an initial cap on that. That's the 649 00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:37.159 name of the organization. If you want to find their website, 650 00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:39.960 I'm guessing it's something like Socialist International dot com whatever. 651 00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:44.159 From the Socialist International. We probably support at Kamala Harris 652 00:38:44.199 --> 00:38:46.639 in her candidacy for the upcoming election of No. Number fifth. 653 00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:49.119 We are confident that she will make history as the 654 00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:52.000 first female president of the United States of America. And 655 00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:56.079 of course along with that is there unstated support for 656 00:38:56.199 --> 00:39:01.039 her socialist leanings. I mentioned at the outset of the 657 00:39:01.039 --> 00:39:03.840 program this morning when including as Bernie Sanders pointed out, 658 00:39:03.880 --> 00:39:09.000 expanding the already what I come to realize now sixty 659 00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:15.559 three trillion dollar underfunded or unfunded liabilities in the Social 660 00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:22.760 Security program or plan alone doesn't talk about Medicare, Medicaid, 661 00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:26.599 the social Security funding facing a sixty three trillion dollar 662 00:39:26.719 --> 00:39:35.559 unfunded liability and socialist Kamala Harris wants to expand that program. 663 00:39:35.559 --> 00:39:37.800 Speaking of Medicare, she wants admit, well, now she's backing 664 00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:44.639 away from it, but since her principles and her leanings 665 00:39:44.679 --> 00:39:49.039 have not changed, that her principles remain the same, even 666 00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:53.360 though she is no longer out loud advocating Medicare for all. 667 00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:57.679 That program also woefully underfunded and in the hole. How 668 00:39:57.719 --> 00:40:01.239 do you expanded programs already can't manage what it's supposed 669 00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:06.400 to be able to handle right now. In terms of 670 00:40:06.440 --> 00:40:08.519 the Social Security plan, they're talking about either get your 671 00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:12.760 taxes increased seventeen percent or you are willing down the 672 00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:14.800 road to take a twenty five percent cut in what 673 00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:18.280 you're expecting as a monthly payment from the Social Security Administration. 674 00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:22.320 And the report also said that eighty eight percent of 675 00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:25.719 retirees where we're going to be relying exclusively on social Security, 676 00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:30.639 a train wreck going to happen. Maybe huh, Perhaps Harris 677 00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:37.280 wants to expand it, expand it? How I'm puzzled. If 678 00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:39.199 you can answer the question, please call me let me know. 679 00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:44.239 I just co collection say nineteen fifty five KRCD talk station. 680 00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:47.239 Have you Monday welcoming phone calls five one, three, seven, 681 00:40:47.239 --> 00:40:49.239 four nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two three 682 00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:52.239 TEK five by fifty on EIGHTE and T found one 683 00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:54.480 thing that seems to be certain. While I keep asking 684 00:40:54.519 --> 00:40:57.159 out loud whether Springfield, of how really has been overwhelmed 685 00:40:57.199 --> 00:41:01.599 with Haitian immigrants, it has been reported randomly around the 686 00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:03.719 internet and people. Some people are disputing in some people 687 00:41:03.719 --> 00:41:06.119 are saying, no, that's just racists making things up. I 688 00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:08.679 don't know. Well, what seems to be very clear is 689 00:41:08.719 --> 00:41:13.239 the Trey the Aragua or Trendy Aragua gang taking over. Actually, 690 00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:16.639 it turns out more than one of these immigrant shelters. 691 00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:20.400 We'd go to Aurora, Colorado, who's getting the brunt of Denver, 692 00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:26.480 Colorado's sanctuary sanctuary city status declaration. It has been for 693 00:41:26.559 --> 00:41:29.559 quite some time Aurora wanted no part of that is 694 00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:32.679 not a sanctuary city. And yet because the overwhelming number 695 00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:36.599 of immigrants coming into Denver, they've filtered over into Aurora, 696 00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:40.519 Colorado and have taken over at least a couple of 697 00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:44.760 different apartment buildings I guess that have been used to 698 00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:48.239 shelter migrants. As early as November of last year, armed 699 00:41:48.320 --> 00:41:52.199 Venezuelan gang members started terrorizing residents in an Aurora apartment building. 700 00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:54.719 A courd to the Denver law firm hired to investigate 701 00:41:54.760 --> 00:41:58.519 that law firm, Perkins Coy, a nationwide well known firm. 702 00:41:58.599 --> 00:42:02.239 Ten page issued is the officials talking about this trendy 703 00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:08.000 Iragua gang taking over the Whispering Pines apartments, not to 704 00:42:08.039 --> 00:42:10.760 be confused with the other apartment complex, but that has 705 00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:13.639 been taken over by the same gang, the Aspen Grove 706 00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:19.480 apartment complex in Aurora, apparently using threat court to the 707 00:42:19.559 --> 00:42:22.280 law firm using threats of murder in termination and beatings. 708 00:42:22.679 --> 00:42:25.639 Evidence also indicates the gang makers and gang members have 709 00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:32.920 engaged in quote flagrant trespass violations including human trafficking. According 710 00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:37.239 to the attorney who wrote the letter, Marcus Bunk, crimes 711 00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:42.880 also alleged extortion, unlawful firearms possession, sexual abuse of miners, quote, 712 00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:47.440 often targeting vulnerable Venezuela and other immigrant immigrant populations. He 713 00:42:47.519 --> 00:42:50.159 went on, the gang's motive appears to be to unlawfully 714 00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:53.519 move gang members as well as vulnerable immigrant families into 715 00:42:53.599 --> 00:43:00.679 vacant units. The gang also forces rent paying rent residents 716 00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:04.280 out to create more open units and use the apartments 717 00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:09.679 for purposes. Of illegal activities like prostitution. So the legitimate 718 00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:14.880 dwellers are well, I imagine they get a nice, unpleasant conversation. 719 00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:17.039 Somebody from the gang knocks on the door and says, 720 00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:20.559 you're leaving today. We're making room for one of our friends, 721 00:43:21.119 --> 00:43:23.599 with a veiled or actual, outloud threat of violence. If 722 00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:26.559 you don't know capitulate to what their demands are, we're 723 00:43:26.559 --> 00:43:27.760 going to move one of our own people in. Then 724 00:43:27.760 --> 00:43:30.159 we're going to engage in illegal activity in your former space. 725 00:43:30.239 --> 00:43:34.880 So have a nice day. According to the law firm, 726 00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:37.960 the gang, which operates in the open and uses firearms 727 00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:42.559 to patrol their their property, has intimidated staffed, stabbed at 728 00:43:42.639 --> 00:43:45.440 least one vulnerable immigrant in the apartment because of the 729 00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:51.800 alleged non payment, and otherwise terrorized the community. The lawyer 730 00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:55.360 said that the trend di Arragua has The gang has 731 00:43:55.400 --> 00:43:58.400 threatened and attempted to kill management staff since they began 732 00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:01.079 and infiltrating the building back in November of last year. 733 00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:03.400 In one case, he said, an apartment manager was so 734 00:44:03.679 --> 00:44:06.480 badly beaten that he had to go to the hospital, 735 00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:09.159 after which he left the state for fear for his 736 00:44:09.199 --> 00:44:15.119 own safety. Gang activity apparently has escalated this year. According 737 00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:18.000 to the attorney and the law firm and their letter 738 00:44:18.079 --> 00:44:22.000 to the officials, one gang member reportedly told a housekeeper, 739 00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:25.920 if he doesn't like it, we'll fill him with bullets. 740 00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:29.440 Funk wrote. The housekeeper understood the reference to be the 741 00:44:29.480 --> 00:44:35.840 gang's business plan of extortion. Video now out showing members 742 00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:37.800 of the gang moving around the building in large numbers, 743 00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:41.960 kicking indoors and armed to the teeth. Funk wrote, this 744 00:44:42.119 --> 00:44:46.280 conducts brazen and public nature. Further exhibits the suspected gang 745 00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:50.280 member's sense of comfort and control, consistent with their taking 746 00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:52.440 over the property and not fearing the law enforcement or 747 00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:56.519 the property management. Bunk wants to meet with the city 748 00:44:56.559 --> 00:45:00.440 officials to discuss returning the building to management control and 749 00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:07.280 the helpless Whispering Pine residents and the Aurora community. The 750 00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:12.400 officials in Aurora suggests that the gang violence was isolated, 751 00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:16.920 which is typically what they say, right, It's just an 752 00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:21.360 isolated incident, just an isolated incident. Anyway, it goes on, obviously, 753 00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:23.840 and I mentioned the other apartment complex there and problems 754 00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:27.239 with the Aspirn Grove apartment. And let's see here, let 755 00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:29.599 me get Robert's call in before we go to the break. Robert, 756 00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:31.519 thanks for calling this morning in a very happy Monday 757 00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:32.000 to you, sir. 758 00:45:33.760 --> 00:45:35.320 Good morning, Brian. How you doing, buddy. 759 00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:37.039 I'm doing as well as can be expected. 760 00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:39.960 Yeah. 761 00:45:40.039 --> 00:45:44.760 So I live in the White Oak area in Green Township. Yeah, 762 00:45:44.760 --> 00:45:49.079 and I'm really close to the North Kate Mall and 763 00:45:49.199 --> 00:45:52.599 i was sold and I don't know if the groomor 764 00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:57.280 or if it's back, but the old Macy's building has 765 00:45:57.360 --> 00:46:03.239 been an a campman for migrants. And I've been noticing 766 00:46:03.280 --> 00:46:06.599 here lately because my wife works at the little White 767 00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:11.119 Strip Strip Mall center there and she's been seeing a 768 00:46:11.159 --> 00:46:16.159 lot of you know, illegals obviously, and I just didn't 769 00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:19.760 know you might have heard anything about that, if that's true. 770 00:46:20.639 --> 00:46:22.519 No, I have not. This This is kind of why 771 00:46:22.559 --> 00:46:25.280 I'm asking out loud. I think I'm expressing the frustration 772 00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:27.400 that so many people feel when they're read things on 773 00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:30.440 the internet and they get reports. There are some very reasonable, 774 00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:34.239 legitimate sources out there, like I typically refer to my favorite, 775 00:46:34.480 --> 00:46:37.320 most reliable, most accurate source of information as the Wall 776 00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:39.760 Street Journal. Yes it has a conservative lean to it, 777 00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:43.719 but they have high ethical standards for the reporting they 778 00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:46.440 do fact checking, so I trust them. I didn't read 779 00:46:46.519 --> 00:46:48.679 this kind of thing on the Wall Street Journal where 780 00:46:48.679 --> 00:46:52.400 I'm reading it. Epoch Times has articles about these gang takeovers, 781 00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:55.760 so does Fox News, both what I consider fairly legitimate sources. 782 00:46:55.760 --> 00:46:58.519 But in so far as the Venas or the Haitian 783 00:46:58.519 --> 00:47:03.239 immigrants taking over Springfield, they are varied and wide accounts 784 00:47:03.239 --> 00:47:06.840 of it literally everywhere YouTube. Thank you Maureen for sending 785 00:47:06.840 --> 00:47:10.199 the one the video there. I can't watch video here 786 00:47:10.199 --> 00:47:13.559 at work, but there are reports on social media posts. 787 00:47:13.599 --> 00:47:15.280 But you know what, I can go on social media 788 00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:17.159 and make a post. I can say anything at mL 789 00:47:17.239 --> 00:47:21.800 One you never know is Macy's. Does anybody know if 790 00:47:21.840 --> 00:47:23.960 Macy's the old Macy's in Northgate Mall is being used 791 00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:32.039 as an immigrant center that I haven't read. If you've noticed, 792 00:47:32.320 --> 00:47:36.199 there's very little local reporting on anything related to illegal 793 00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:40.519 immigrants in the greater Cincinnati area. Are we struggling, do 794 00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:43.039 we have financial problems? Are we having housing problems? Or 795 00:47:43.079 --> 00:47:45.199 is there crime related to it? And the other thing 796 00:47:45.199 --> 00:47:47.000 about this is people say, yeah, I see all these 797 00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:49.960 illegal immigrants, And when you say something like that, it 798 00:47:50.039 --> 00:47:53.639 kind of raises a question mark in my mind. If 799 00:47:53.639 --> 00:47:57.920 I'm walking down the street I can't tell who's a 800 00:47:58.000 --> 00:48:03.119 legal person, a citizen, resident, a legal you know, a 801 00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:07.159 Green card holder, or someone who's entered the country illegally. 802 00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:11.519 I don't know what they look like. We get illegal 803 00:48:11.599 --> 00:48:14.599 immigrants from like one hundred and fifty different countries around 804 00:48:14.599 --> 00:48:17.079 the world. Some come in white color, some come in 805 00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:19.599 black colors, some come in brown colors. You know what 806 00:48:19.639 --> 00:48:22.559 it is. You have no idea. Oh and like the 807 00:48:22.599 --> 00:48:25.960 US population of legal citizens, they come in a whole 808 00:48:25.960 --> 00:48:29.199 bunch of different color, shape, shapes, religions, and stripes as well. 809 00:48:29.519 --> 00:48:32.440 You can't pick one out of a lineup just by 810 00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:34.880 based on how they look. That's where all this racism 811 00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:37.239 comments come from. You know what I'm worried about, I'm 812 00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:40.280 worried about not the Chinese people. I'm worried about the 813 00:48:40.360 --> 00:48:43.639 Chinese Communist Party. I'm not worried about people from the 814 00:48:43.719 --> 00:48:48.559 Middle East generally speaking. I'm worried about Middle East terrorists, 815 00:48:48.599 --> 00:48:54.760 ices types and Hamas types. Right six twenty seven, iify 816 00:48:54.719 --> 00:48:56.920 you byt KIRCD talk station. Feel free to call offer 817 00:48:57.039 --> 00:48:58.719 your comments. I would love to hear from you. We're 818 00:48:58.719 --> 00:49:00.360 gonna do some local stories coming up. Back after I 819 00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:05.960 met six thirty three here if you have KIRC detalk station, 820 00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:09.719 Happy month, trying to make them happy anyway, considering the 821 00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:11.960 subject matter of the news this morning, like most days, 822 00:49:11.960 --> 00:49:14.280 it's difficult thing to do, but trying to remember that 823 00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:15.800 you don't really have control over a lot of this, 824 00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:19.119 talking about it, reminding yourself that you can't control many things, 825 00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:22.239 but you can vote for people who are well will 826 00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:24.320 be then in a position to control it. That's called 827 00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:26.760 a representative form of government, which is what we've got. 828 00:49:26.760 --> 00:49:29.440 We don't live in a democracy. Democrats quit saying that 829 00:49:31.119 --> 00:49:33.199 it's a republic. It's got to photo. See what marine's 830 00:49:33.199 --> 00:49:35.639 got this morning, Marene, Welcome to the program. Good to 831 00:49:35.639 --> 00:49:36.760 hear from you. Happy Monday. 832 00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:40.320 Oh thanks, Brian. Yeah, I just wanted to kind of 833 00:49:40.360 --> 00:49:44.800 elaborate on the Haitians and the duck eating and that 834 00:49:44.880 --> 00:49:48.559 sort of thing. The article that I pulled up, as 835 00:49:48.599 --> 00:49:49.920 I said, she was on Gateway PA. 836 00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:51.400 I saw that when that was one of the places 837 00:49:51.400 --> 00:49:54.119 where I first found it. Yeah, but you know, I 838 00:49:55.480 --> 00:49:57.280 know you're a fan of Gayway Pundit. But I'll be 839 00:49:57.320 --> 00:49:59.559 the first person to say I don't have the level 840 00:49:59.599 --> 00:50:02.880 of re liability or respect for the Gateway pointed because 841 00:50:02.880 --> 00:50:08.119 they are so unbelievably biased for the conservative message. I 842 00:50:08.159 --> 00:50:11.159 have read erroneous things on Gateway Pointed, so unlike the 843 00:50:11.199 --> 00:50:13.519 Wall Street Journal, I can read it there, and they're 844 00:50:13.599 --> 00:50:16.800 just we're just quoting what people at these public meetings 845 00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:20.760 have said or reposting what they found on social media. 846 00:50:20.840 --> 00:50:23.199 Now is that a reliable source of information. I'm really 847 00:50:23.199 --> 00:50:24.599 trying to get to the bottom of it because I'm 848 00:50:24.639 --> 00:50:27.559 so close in proximity to Springfield. I figure maybe some 849 00:50:27.599 --> 00:50:30.119 of my Springfield resident friends would call up and say, yeah, 850 00:50:30.159 --> 00:50:32.079 it's true, or no, it's been overstated. 851 00:50:33.039 --> 00:50:35.159 Well, at the bottom, if you go scroll to the 852 00:50:35.280 --> 00:50:37.960 very bottom of the article, which is their lead articles, 853 00:50:38.039 --> 00:50:40.480 go to Gateway Punted dot com scroll the bottom of 854 00:50:40.480 --> 00:50:43.320 the article. There's a video of the city council meeting 855 00:50:43.840 --> 00:50:47.360 and the guy's name is Anthony Harris, and he's being 856 00:50:47.360 --> 00:50:51.760 interviewed while they're videotaping him at this city council meeting. 857 00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:54.760 And I don't think somebody who says their resident is 858 00:50:54.800 --> 00:50:56.920 going to go to a city council meeting and make 859 00:50:57.000 --> 00:51:00.360 this stuff up because it's easily provable. But he's as 860 00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:04.000 a resident of Springfield, Ohio, and he's talking about how 861 00:51:04.360 --> 00:51:07.079 they drop off this bus load of pation immigrants at 862 00:51:07.079 --> 00:51:10.400 the gas station. They go and they run into buildings, 863 00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:13.400 they flip cars. They are going to the duck ponds 864 00:51:13.400 --> 00:51:16.519 and grabbing ducks and biting off their heads and eating 865 00:51:16.559 --> 00:51:19.360 them as they walk away. They're being very bold, and 866 00:51:19.400 --> 00:51:21.559 they're very in your face. And I tell you what 867 00:51:21.599 --> 00:51:25.199 else is going on, your fellow. Your caller talked about 868 00:51:25.239 --> 00:51:27.760 Macy's being a housing area. 869 00:51:28.079 --> 00:51:32.320 Young Yes, I had never heard that before. 870 00:51:33.159 --> 00:51:36.559 Yeah, I hadn't either till I heard that. But in 871 00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:39.760 Mount Airy Forest they I had a friend had an 872 00:51:39.800 --> 00:51:43.440 incident recently where And the reason I knew the name 873 00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:46.559 of this is because of you several years ago talking 874 00:51:46.599 --> 00:51:49.599 about a friend of yours that this happened to. And 875 00:51:49.679 --> 00:51:52.880 I remembered that you called it railroading. They lay down 876 00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:55.960 in the middle of the road. Oh and then yeah, 877 00:51:56.000 --> 00:51:59.199 in the evening, and then when people go driving up, 878 00:51:59.559 --> 00:52:01.840 they stop because they see a bunch of people laying 879 00:52:02.199 --> 00:52:04.639 in the middle of the road like a railroad track. 880 00:52:05.079 --> 00:52:07.920 And this happened to someone very close to me. And 881 00:52:08.039 --> 00:52:11.320 they were speeding because they needed to get home for 882 00:52:11.360 --> 00:52:16.480 curfew with a youngster. Anyway, they were speeding and that 883 00:52:16.719 --> 00:52:19.320 by the time they came upon this group of kids 884 00:52:19.360 --> 00:52:23.320 laying or people laying in the road, they couldn't slow down, 885 00:52:23.440 --> 00:52:25.960 so the people jumped up and scattered. So if you 886 00:52:26.079 --> 00:52:28.440 come across an incident where people are railroading in the 887 00:52:28.519 --> 00:52:30.719 evening and laying in the middle of the road, I'm 888 00:52:30.760 --> 00:52:33.880 sorry to say this, but don't stop. Because you stop 889 00:52:34.079 --> 00:52:36.280 and you don't have a weapon on you, they will 890 00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:37.719 come and overtake your car. 891 00:52:38.159 --> 00:52:42.079 And they're also Yeah, buddy, he was surround He had 892 00:52:42.079 --> 00:52:44.440 his young daughter in the car and his wife. There 893 00:52:44.440 --> 00:52:47.199 were in a movie. Uh, this was over a believe 894 00:52:47.400 --> 00:52:51.480 in Sailor Park. They railroaded and as soon as he stopped, 895 00:52:51.480 --> 00:52:53.079 as he was in a back road he kind of 896 00:52:53.119 --> 00:52:56.480 was taking a shortcut home, stopped, they surrounded his car 897 00:52:57.000 --> 00:52:59.440 and demanded and threatened him. Well, he pulled out his 898 00:52:59.679 --> 00:53:02.480 block nineteen. This guy is a concealed carry holder and 899 00:53:02.519 --> 00:53:04.840 he is a hell of a shot aimed it at 900 00:53:04.920 --> 00:53:07.159 him and they ran like you know, rats out of 901 00:53:07.159 --> 00:53:09.519 an aqueduct or rats out of a sewer and dispersed 902 00:53:09.519 --> 00:53:12.119 because well, he had a gun to protect himself. 903 00:53:13.159 --> 00:53:15.559 Yeah, and my friend was speeding and that's the only 904 00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:18.320 reason it saved her life.

I think he's 929 00:54:26.000 --> 00:54:29.559 making plans to live in Florida permanently. Anyway, A short 930 00:54:29.559 --> 00:54:31.480 one here before we head on under the break and 931 00:54:31.519 --> 00:54:33.440 speak with Nick after the top of the Iron News 932 00:54:33.440 --> 00:54:36.679 Shared Brown. It's a small number, but it can happen, 933 00:54:37.480 --> 00:54:39.840 and you can see Secretary of State Frank LeRose is actually 934 00:54:39.840 --> 00:54:42.159 out there doing his job. Senator Shared Brown accepted a 935 00:54:42.199 --> 00:54:45.400 campaign donation, or rather a couple of campaign donations, from 936 00:54:45.440 --> 00:54:49.880 a woman who died prior to the campaign donations being made. 937 00:54:49.960 --> 00:54:52.440 New York Post actually reported on this when Carol Ann 938 00:54:52.519 --> 00:54:55.880 Baker Elmore died at the age of seventy seven December 939 00:54:55.880 --> 00:54:59.639 of last year, December tenth, out of Toledo Medical Center. 940 00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:03.199 We were obituary and in spite of passing away, she 941 00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:06.360 somehow is on record of making at least two donations 942 00:55:06.400 --> 00:55:13.840 to Shared Brown's campaign five months after her death. Now 943 00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:16.000 the contributions amounted to a total of three hundred and 944 00:55:16.039 --> 00:55:17.679 fifty bucks, so not a whole lot of money, but 945 00:55:17.719 --> 00:55:20.320 it is illegal. Case referred to the Federal Elections Committee 946 00:55:20.320 --> 00:55:22.719 by ohiuse Secretary of State Frank LeRose after conducting a 947 00:55:22.760 --> 00:55:29.159 preliminary investigation during which Baker's husband confirmed that yes, in fact, 948 00:55:29.199 --> 00:55:34.800 she did die. Spokesman for Lrose, our office received a 949 00:55:34.840 --> 00:55:38.280 complaint identifying the Friends of Shared Brown committee reported receiving 950 00:55:38.320 --> 00:55:41.360 two contributions from an individual that was confirmed to be deceased. 951 00:55:41.360 --> 00:55:44.039 But as that committee is a federal entity and not 952 00:55:44.079 --> 00:55:46.199 a filer with our officers, we referred the complaint to 953 00:55:46.239 --> 00:55:49.599 our findings to the Federal Elections Commission for further action. 954 00:55:51.239 --> 00:55:57.119 So Franklero's office, Head of Investigations Huan Lee, speaking with 955 00:55:57.119 --> 00:56:00.960 the Post, our Ohioans deserve absolute confidents in their elections. 956 00:56:01.440 --> 00:56:04.679 Purpose this letter to for your office of potential violations 957 00:56:04.719 --> 00:56:11.119 of federal law for your investigations as appropriate. Jared Brown 958 00:56:12.880 --> 00:56:15.679 probably accepting some votes from dead people too, I imagine 959 00:56:16.280 --> 00:56:19.519 accept money from dead people. Nick Nole book Our God 960 00:56:19.519 --> 00:56:21.679 Given Freedoms after the top of their news plus Christopher 961 00:56:21.679 --> 00:56:23.199 Smithman coming up at seven thirty I hoof. You can 962 00:56:23.239 --> 00:56:26.800 stick around history strass it happens. 963 00:56:26.840 --> 00:56:29.440 If you want to make America great again. 964 00:56:29.239 --> 00:56:31.840 Vote Traum and it's away at the top of the hour, 965 00:56:31.960 --> 00:56:49.079 fifty five KRS the talk station.

I'm happy to walk into 968 00:56:53.800 --> 00:56:56.800 fifty five k the Morning Show. Nick Nole, author of 969 00:56:56.960 --> 00:56:59.920 Our God Given Freedom. Our founding father's established the United 970 00:57:00.039 --> 00:57:02.599 States to secure our God given freedom. Our country is 971 00:57:02.639 --> 00:57:05.840 in urgent danger today. We must do our part. Written 972 00:57:05.880 --> 00:57:08.000 along with a friend of the show. He's been on 973 00:57:08.039 --> 00:57:10.360 many times, Kate Carl Smith. Welcome to the program. Nick. 974 00:57:10.440 --> 00:57:11.920 It's a real pleasure to have you on today. 975 00:57:13.000 --> 00:57:15.519 Well, thanks Brian, it's good to talk with you again too. 976 00:57:15.840 --> 00:57:18.480 Yeah. And the last time you were on, didn't we 977 00:57:18.519 --> 00:57:20.719 talk about the war against Black Americans in Freedom that 978 00:57:20.760 --> 00:57:22.000 you also with Kay Carl? 979 00:57:23.000 --> 00:57:25.840 Well, that was a time before last. But last time 980 00:57:25.880 --> 00:57:27.639 I was on was a few months ago when I 981 00:57:27.679 --> 00:57:29.599 spoke about this book, and I've kind of let it 982 00:57:29.679 --> 00:57:33.239 go too long. But you know, we you and I 983 00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:36.039 are are a little different, but a lot the same. 984 00:57:36.639 --> 00:57:40.760 You call yourself a libertarian, and I yes, and I 985 00:57:40.840 --> 00:57:47.159 call myself a Frederick Douglas Republican. Republican, and both of 986 00:57:47.239 --> 00:57:50.320 us want to live in a country that secures our 987 00:57:50.360 --> 00:57:52.159 God given freedom exactly. 988 00:57:52.480 --> 00:57:54.239 And I speak, you know, God given freedom. You know, 989 00:57:54.440 --> 00:57:57.920 I always try to mean religiously neutral. I'm a believer 990 00:57:58.000 --> 00:57:59.679 in God, my friend, and I'm not going to deny that. 991 00:57:59.760 --> 00:58:01.679 But what I try to do is spring from the 992 00:58:01.960 --> 00:58:05.280 logical and reason, which will parallel people who I have 993 00:58:05.320 --> 00:58:07.760 an actual belief and higher power in a doctrine and dogma. 994 00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:11.159 Because the state of nature, you know what I know it, Nick, 995 00:58:11.280 --> 00:58:13.280 If you are plopped down in the middle of nowhere 996 00:58:13.320 --> 00:58:15.719 before the formation of any government, what do you have? 997 00:58:15.880 --> 00:58:20.880 You literally have all the freedoms that God put you there, 998 00:58:20.920 --> 00:58:23.280 with the right to defend yourself, the right to forage 999 00:58:23.320 --> 00:58:26.360 and cook and you know, gather and hunt or whatever 1000 00:58:26.440 --> 00:58:29.360 at literally everything. You're as free as anybody can be. 1001 00:58:29.960 --> 00:58:32.480 And it's the result of us having to collectively live 1002 00:58:32.559 --> 00:58:36.679 together that we can start sacrificing some of these freedoms, 1003 00:58:36.719 --> 00:58:39.239 but usually it's in the name of getting along. You 1004 00:58:39.320 --> 00:58:43.000 can't hurt me, I'm not allowed to hurt you, but 1005 00:58:43.079 --> 00:58:46.599 we can both coexist and live our lives freely as 1006 00:58:46.639 --> 00:58:50.360 we choose in this land, not anyplace else in the world. 1007 00:58:50.440 --> 00:58:54.320 Nick, that's absolutely correct. And both of us push back 1008 00:58:54.719 --> 00:59:00.719 against the rich elites who control everything, yes, and and 1009 00:59:00.800 --> 00:59:04.639 try to control everything we do. And those are the Democrats, 1010 00:59:04.639 --> 00:59:08.480 actually the laites who control the Democratic Party. And we 1011 00:59:08.719 --> 00:59:10.920 you know, they've a lot of people say, well, the 1012 00:59:10.960 --> 00:59:15.199 Democratic Party has changed, and that's true, but it's but 1013 00:59:15.320 --> 00:59:18.559 it's always been the party of the rich elites who 1014 00:59:18.599 --> 00:59:21.920 pick people against each other, classes of people against each 1015 00:59:21.920 --> 00:59:26.760 other to control us and to control everybody. And you know, 1016 00:59:26.840 --> 00:59:29.639 that's been going on since the very beginning of our country. 1017 00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:31.840 And that's what a lot of my book is about, 1018 00:59:32.199 --> 00:59:34.840 is because people have been doing that since they've been 1019 00:59:34.840 --> 00:59:38.639 doing that since the beginning of our country. They were 1020 00:59:38.679 --> 00:59:43.199 the originally they were originally the slave plantation owners who 1021 00:59:43.440 --> 00:59:46.559 were stood against them most of the people in the 1022 00:59:46.559 --> 00:59:50.039 country who were farmers and merchants who worked for themselves, 1023 00:59:50.400 --> 00:59:54.679 and they were slave plantation owners who used black people 1024 00:59:55.159 --> 00:59:58.599 who were slaves and white people who were subjects against 1025 00:59:58.679 --> 01:00:01.559 each other to do their bidding and to make them 1026 01:00:01.679 --> 01:00:05.000 richer and richer and more powerful. They were the ones 1027 01:00:05.039 --> 01:00:09.519 who created white supremacy and the belief that white people 1028 01:00:09.559 --> 01:00:12.320 are superior to black people, which is not true. But 1029 01:00:12.400 --> 01:00:15.239 they created that belief and that still goes in this 1030 01:00:16.000 --> 01:00:17.960 still has something to do with the way our country 1031 01:00:18.039 --> 01:00:21.280 is run. They were the ones who removed the Indians 1032 01:00:21.280 --> 01:00:24.440 from the southeastern United States and sent them on the 1033 01:00:24.440 --> 01:00:27.800 trail of tiers to Oklahoma to get them out of 1034 01:00:27.800 --> 01:00:31.000 their way and to take their land. And they were 1035 01:00:31.000 --> 01:00:35.000 the ones who who tried to install slavery in Kansas 1036 01:00:35.039 --> 01:00:39.320 and Nebraska. They bred hatred all along. They bred hatred, 1037 01:00:39.599 --> 01:00:43.320 and they when they finally looked, they finally decided that 1038 01:00:43.320 --> 01:00:48.440 the slavery was going to be eliminated, abolish. Then they 1039 01:00:48.440 --> 01:00:52.079 fought the Civil War against our country. And you know 1040 01:00:52.519 --> 01:00:56.079 what they the first when when the Civil War was over, 1041 01:00:56.159 --> 01:01:00.840 the first black House and Senate members, we were all 1042 01:01:00.880 --> 01:01:06.639 Republicans because they the Democratic Party was against them, and 1043 01:01:06.920 --> 01:01:10.639 the Democratic Party used mass murders to keep black people 1044 01:01:10.639 --> 01:01:17.159 from voting, and and and eventually used used the trick 1045 01:01:17.199 --> 01:01:21.920 of accusing black men of being natural predators and rapists 1046 01:01:21.920 --> 01:01:27.039 of white women, and the murdered them through lynching without 1047 01:01:27.079 --> 01:01:30.000 any trials to breed hatred against black people. They took 1048 01:01:30.039 --> 01:01:34.960 their war against Black Americans directly, and since then they've 1049 01:01:35.039 --> 01:01:38.119 they've run a war against women, they run a war 1050 01:01:38.159 --> 01:01:43.159 against rich versus poor. They make people hate old versus young. 1051 01:01:43.960 --> 01:01:46.960 They divide us in every way they come against each other. 1052 01:01:48.039 --> 01:01:52.800 And starting in the Industrial Revolution, they started using Marxism 1053 01:01:53.079 --> 01:01:56.840 to uh to divide us. And you know, they've they've 1054 01:01:56.880 --> 01:01:59.519 done everything they can to try to divide us, to 1055 01:01:59.599 --> 01:02:04.039 keep us separate, to control us. And you know this 1056 01:02:04.280 --> 01:02:07.880 and the Depression, what they did in the Great Depression, 1057 01:02:08.480 --> 01:02:15.480 they used Marxism, installed Marxism into our government to increase 1058 01:02:15.519 --> 01:02:21.119 the taxes beyond belief and to keep people segregated. And 1059 01:02:21.199 --> 01:02:25.480 during World War two, finally World War two ended some 1060 01:02:25.599 --> 01:02:28.840 of that, but it couldn't end at all. And after 1061 01:02:28.920 --> 01:02:32.360 World War Two we had Eisenhower who came in and said, well, 1062 01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:35.920 we're going to do something about segregation, and you know, 1063 01:02:36.000 --> 01:02:39.960 and he tried to do everything he could, and when 1064 01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:42.639 the Supreme Court made the ruling that separate but equal 1065 01:02:42.719 --> 01:02:46.480 is not separate but equal, Eisenhower enforced that. He was 1066 01:02:46.480 --> 01:02:48.280 the guy that said, Okay, I'm going to send the 1067 01:02:48.320 --> 01:02:51.000 troops down to enforce that. To allow black people to 1068 01:02:51.039 --> 01:02:54.159 go to college same as white people. And you know, 1069 01:02:54.239 --> 01:02:57.840 and when it JFK came into power. JFK was a 1070 01:02:57.920 --> 01:03:02.239 follower of Eisenhower. People don't understand that because he had 1071 01:03:02.280 --> 01:03:04.719 the labeled democrat and his family was one of the 1072 01:03:04.840 --> 01:03:08.719 richest elite families in the entire country. The JFK stood 1073 01:03:08.800 --> 01:03:11.760 up against his own family and against his own party, 1074 01:03:11.840 --> 01:03:14.920 which is why they shot and killed him. You know 1075 01:03:15.159 --> 01:03:17.360 that he came in and he said we're going to do. 1076 01:03:17.719 --> 01:03:19.760 First of all, there are three things I believe that 1077 01:03:19.840 --> 01:03:22.400 got him shot and killed. One of them was he 1078 01:03:23.199 --> 01:03:25.800 issued an executive order saying, we're going to start printing 1079 01:03:25.840 --> 01:03:29.119 our own money instead this red federal government, to start 1080 01:03:29.119 --> 01:03:31.840 printing our own money instead of the Federal Reserve doing that. 1081 01:03:32.320 --> 01:03:34.119 The second thing he did was he said, we're going 1082 01:03:34.119 --> 01:03:36.360 to bring down some of the taxes and the DR 1083 01:03:36.440 --> 01:03:39.760 put into power. You know that FDR raised, We're going 1084 01:03:39.800 --> 01:03:41.920 to bring those down, some of those huge taxes for 1085 01:03:42.000 --> 01:03:45.800 business ninety five percent in some cases. And the other thing, 1086 01:03:45.880 --> 01:03:48.800 the thing that really got him killed, the most important thing, 1087 01:03:49.039 --> 01:03:51.199 was he said, we're going to start treating black people 1088 01:03:51.199 --> 01:03:55.079 the same as white people. And you know, people democrats 1089 01:03:55.079 --> 01:03:57.840 didn't want that. The rich elites who controlled the Democratic 1090 01:03:57.880 --> 01:04:01.280 Party did not want that, and they wanted LBJ to 1091 01:04:01.320 --> 01:04:04.039 be president because he would do what they want. 1092 01:04:04.280 --> 01:04:08.599 And well, Nick, isn't ell. I was getting ready for 1093 01:04:08.599 --> 01:04:10.840 to mention LBJ as you were going through this history 1094 01:04:10.880 --> 01:04:15.360 of the Democratic Party and its obvious racist nature, the 1095 01:04:15.400 --> 01:04:18.519 Klan support of the Democrats, the Southern Democrats were all 1096 01:04:18.599 --> 01:04:21.559 pro slavery, anti black or pro Jim crow Law. All that. 1097 01:04:22.119 --> 01:04:24.960 Johnson is the one that tried to transform history and 1098 01:04:25.079 --> 01:04:27.199 change the history of the Democratic Party into something it 1099 01:04:27.239 --> 01:04:29.599 never was. He was rather successful. 1100 01:04:30.239 --> 01:04:33.239 Yeah, he was successful, people believed, but that's not true. 1101 01:04:33.440 --> 01:04:34.599 It isn't that's not true. 1102 01:04:34.639 --> 01:04:37.800 People believe that, but it's not true because what Johnson 1103 01:04:37.800 --> 01:04:40.119 did was he came into power. The only way that 1104 01:04:40.199 --> 01:04:44.280 he could possibly be be elected as president would be 1105 01:04:44.360 --> 01:04:48.679 if he passed the civil rights law. And in order 1106 01:04:48.719 --> 01:04:51.440 to pass the civil rights law, there were some conservative 1107 01:04:51.480 --> 01:04:53.920 Democrats who wouldn't have even gone along with that, no 1108 01:04:53.960 --> 01:04:57.880 matter what if he had not reduced the taxes. So 1109 01:04:57.920 --> 01:05:00.960 he took Kennedy's tax bill, reduced the taxes, and he 1110 01:05:01.000 --> 01:05:04.000 took Kennedy's civil rights law. And he knew that he 1111 01:05:04.079 --> 01:05:06.599 had to pass both of those to be elected president. 1112 01:05:07.000 --> 01:05:09.440 And so he did that, but immediately he turned it 1113 01:05:09.480 --> 01:05:12.559 around and created a new type of slavery, a new 1114 01:05:12.599 --> 01:05:17.800 type of political slavery with welfare, food stamps, and dependence 1115 01:05:17.880 --> 01:05:21.480 on government for black people primarily. And and so he 1116 01:05:21.559 --> 01:05:24.639 turned us around. He didn't he did those things, you know, 1117 01:05:24.760 --> 01:05:27.840 because he had to do him to stay to get elected, 1118 01:05:27.880 --> 01:05:29.559 and he thought he was going to get elected and 1119 01:05:29.559 --> 01:05:30.679 then get elected again. 1120 01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:33.320 Yeah, the Great Society Program and how that was going 1121 01:05:33.400 --> 01:05:35.440 to that was supposed to solve poverty, wasn't it, Nick? 1122 01:05:35.519 --> 01:05:38.360 And I don't think after trillions and trillions of dollars spent, 1123 01:05:38.400 --> 01:05:41.039 it has done anything but make poverty worse because it's 1124 01:05:41.079 --> 01:05:44.119 created well, generations of dependance. 1125 01:05:45.119 --> 01:05:49.079 That's exactly right. And and and the first person that 1126 01:05:49.199 --> 01:05:53.800 spoke up against him who was assassinated was Malcolm X. 1127 01:05:54.320 --> 01:05:57.320 Malcolm X came out and said, we we have a 1128 01:05:57.360 --> 01:06:02.360 president who's who's nothing but a Southern segist. And Malcolm 1129 01:06:02.559 --> 01:06:05.360 X got shot and killed very shortly after that. And 1130 01:06:05.400 --> 01:06:07.440 of course it was nobody that had anything to do 1131 01:06:07.519 --> 01:06:13.199 with LBJ. But but then you know, then all these 1132 01:06:13.239 --> 01:06:18.960 other people that got murdered, you know, after after Kennedy 1133 01:06:19.039 --> 01:06:21.320 was murdered, all these people that the other people that 1134 01:06:21.440 --> 01:06:27.639 got murdered, Malcolm X and uh and and MLK and 1135 01:06:28.119 --> 01:06:31.119 r f K, all of those people were inconvenient to 1136 01:06:31.960 --> 01:06:34.880 LBJ and to what he was trying to do. They 1137 01:06:34.920 --> 01:06:39.360 were all inconvenient to his his ability to people pitted 1138 01:06:39.400 --> 01:06:41.920 against each other, and and the way that he was 1139 01:06:41.960 --> 01:06:43.880 trying to do that and create a new type of 1140 01:06:43.920 --> 01:06:45.440 slavery basically. 1141 01:06:45.159 --> 01:06:47.480 Well, and in terms of the Marxist reality, and I 1142 01:06:47.519 --> 01:06:50.199 think that you know, built into Marxism is this inherent 1143 01:06:50.320 --> 01:06:52.199 understanding of human nature. And I think it's one of 1144 01:06:52.199 --> 01:06:54.840 the reasons that the commandment thou shalt not cove it. 1145 01:06:55.199 --> 01:06:57.920 We covet a lot. We want our neighbor's stuff and 1146 01:06:58.000 --> 01:07:00.239 things they've got more than us, and we feel like 1147 01:07:00.239 --> 01:07:03.639 we've been somehow neglected or otherwise deprived of something we 1148 01:07:03.760 --> 01:07:07.440 deserve simply because somebody else has more. And when you 1149 01:07:07.480 --> 01:07:11.639 start fostering and encouraging and fomenting that envy and that 1150 01:07:11.760 --> 01:07:16.239 greed and that covetousness and promise people that you're going 1151 01:07:16.280 --> 01:07:19.679 to make things equal, this whole equity thing, you're literally 1152 01:07:19.840 --> 01:07:23.320 justifying what I call simple slavery through the taxation system. 1153 01:07:23.360 --> 01:07:26.519 You know, we're going to take we are taking from 1154 01:07:26.559 --> 01:07:28.920 you what you work for, what you labored from, in 1155 01:07:29.000 --> 01:07:31.079 the name of because some guy over there doesn't have 1156 01:07:31.159 --> 01:07:34.360 as much. I mean, it doesn't factor into account. Reality, effort, 1157 01:07:34.400 --> 01:07:38.360 hard work, merit, some of the things that are really 1158 01:07:38.400 --> 01:07:43.360 responsible drivers of economic success in this country. Ignores all that. 1159 01:07:43.480 --> 01:07:46.159 That throws it out the window, which. 1160 01:07:45.960 --> 01:07:48.119 March says, because you're the ones who work for it 1161 01:07:48.119 --> 01:07:49.800 and don't have it, you're the ones who have a 1162 01:07:49.880 --> 01:07:53.000 right to it. And he makes people believe that you 1163 01:07:53.079 --> 01:07:55.360 have a right to that to take it away, and 1164 01:07:55.880 --> 01:08:00.079 you don't have that right. In not any reasonable way 1165 01:08:00.079 --> 01:08:03.599 do you have that right. And at this point, what 1166 01:08:03.639 --> 01:08:05.880 they've done is they've even come to the point of 1167 01:08:06.039 --> 01:08:10.119 trying to assassinate Trump. And I think it was a 1168 01:08:10.159 --> 01:08:14.199 miracle that he survived that assassination attempt. That that's what 1169 01:08:14.239 --> 01:08:17.840 they've been, that they're willing to do anything to take 1170 01:08:17.880 --> 01:08:20.560 control of this country and keep control of it in 1171 01:08:20.600 --> 01:08:25.119 any way possible. And the globalists, they worked with, the 1172 01:08:25.119 --> 01:08:28.359 globalists who all believe in Marx. The funny thing about 1173 01:08:28.439 --> 01:08:31.159 Marx that people don't understand he was born the same 1174 01:08:31.239 --> 01:08:34.760 year as Frederick Douglas. They were both born in eighteen eighteen. 1175 01:08:35.039 --> 01:08:37.680 Frederick Douglas was born a slave, and he lived all 1176 01:08:37.760 --> 01:08:40.399 his life as a slave. For the first twenty years 1177 01:08:40.800 --> 01:08:43.560 he lived as a slave and actually taught himself how 1178 01:08:43.600 --> 01:08:46.560 to read and write, and then he escaped slavery finally, 1179 01:08:46.600 --> 01:08:49.399 and he became the greatest speaker, thinker, and writer about 1180 01:08:49.439 --> 01:08:53.079 freedom and human rights in this country's history. Whereas Carl Marx, 1181 01:08:53.159 --> 01:08:55.720 born the same year, was the son of a lawyer. 1182 01:08:55.800 --> 01:08:58.800 He wasn't born a slave like Frederick Douglas. He was 1183 01:08:58.840 --> 01:09:01.000 born a son of a lawyer, and he never had 1184 01:09:01.000 --> 01:09:04.680 his freedom taken away from him, and he wrote his 1185 01:09:04.800 --> 01:09:07.760 theories about freedom. But those are the things that are 1186 01:09:07.800 --> 01:09:10.880 being followed now by the Democratic Party, the Marxists, and 1187 01:09:10.920 --> 01:09:12.039 the globalists. 1188 01:09:12.079 --> 01:09:15.479 And I understand in the name of making money. But 1189 01:09:15.800 --> 01:09:19.199 what always, Maybe maybe I don't have a psychological component. 1190 01:09:19.279 --> 01:09:23.439 I have no desire to control people, have no desire 1191 01:09:23.479 --> 01:09:26.800 to dictate an edict or. It just seems so foreign 1192 01:09:26.920 --> 01:09:29.640 a concept to me. Because I'm such a firm believer 1193 01:09:29.800 --> 01:09:32.920 in our individual rights and liberties. I have no right 1194 01:09:33.000 --> 01:09:34.640 to try to tell you how to live your life. 1195 01:09:34.640 --> 01:09:37.600 It's just that just is contrary to my philosophy. But 1196 01:09:37.800 --> 01:09:40.159 the people in power, I know they want to leverage 1197 01:09:40.199 --> 01:09:43.119 it to give themselves money, but just simply the idea 1198 01:09:43.159 --> 01:09:46.760 that they want to control us and take away these freedoms. 1199 01:09:47.279 --> 01:09:49.560 I find that to be maybe like a DSM five 1200 01:09:49.680 --> 01:09:51.960 diagnosable psychological disorder. 1201 01:09:53.000 --> 01:09:55.239 And that's where the old saying comes around and says, 1202 01:09:55.279 --> 01:09:58.840 you might not be interested in politics, The politics is 1203 01:09:58.880 --> 01:10:02.960 interested in you because they want to control you. Politicians 1204 01:10:03.000 --> 01:10:05.560 want to control you for their own power and their 1205 01:10:05.600 --> 01:10:09.640 own wealth, because that's what keeps them rich. And they 1206 01:10:09.640 --> 01:10:12.880 are the rich elads who control the country. And I 1207 01:10:12.920 --> 01:10:16.520 think we've seen that proven through Trump's administration and through 1208 01:10:16.600 --> 01:10:19.920 his time being kicked out of power and all the 1209 01:10:19.960 --> 01:10:22.479 time he's trying to get back in at which we 1210 01:10:22.520 --> 01:10:25.159 need to do. We need to get We need to 1211 01:10:25.279 --> 01:10:28.199 take control again from the Democratic leads. 1212 01:10:28.319 --> 01:10:30.359 Hopefully we can. If we don't do it now in November, 1213 01:10:30.520 --> 01:10:33.359 maybe too late for our country, our god given freedom, 1214 01:10:33.359 --> 01:10:35.439 our founderstablish the United States. This is care, our god 1215 01:10:35.479 --> 01:10:37.880 given freedom. Our country is an urgent danger today. We 1216 01:10:37.960 --> 01:10:40.439 must do our part. Nick No along with Kay Carl Smith, 1217 01:10:40.960 --> 01:10:43.119 just two wonderful guys, Nick, I can't thank you enough 1218 01:10:43.159 --> 01:10:45.479 for documenting it, putting in on paper.

By 1243 01:11:58.840 --> 01:12:01.640 the time, I was wishing a happy, happy Mundane always 1244 01:12:01.640 --> 01:12:04.279 happy to welcome to the five KC Morning Show. Former 1245 01:12:04.359 --> 01:12:06.279 Vice Mayor of the City of Cincinnati for the smither 1246 01:12:06.399 --> 01:12:08.720 Van Christopher Smithman, Welcome back, my friend. Who if you 1247 01:12:08.720 --> 01:12:10.800 had a wonderful weekend for the Bengals. 1248 01:12:10.840 --> 01:12:14.279 I did, Man, I did, I did, And I hope 1249 01:12:14.279 --> 01:12:18.560 you had one too. Look, brother, I really just want 1250 01:12:18.600 --> 01:12:21.000 to start off and just jump in and talk about 1251 01:12:21.079 --> 01:12:25.359 this this school violence that we're seeing across our country. 1252 01:12:25.720 --> 01:12:29.520 We obviously know in North College Hill there was shooting 1253 01:12:29.600 --> 01:12:34.079 outside of the stadium that had players diving on the field. 1254 01:12:34.279 --> 01:12:41.720 It had the entire stadium evacuated. We know that there 1255 01:12:41.760 --> 01:12:45.319 was a shooting on I seventy five, you know, in 1256 01:12:45.399 --> 01:12:48.199 our community. But I want to really focus in a 1257 01:12:48.239 --> 01:12:52.439 little bit on schools here to emphasize the importance of 1258 01:12:52.479 --> 01:12:55.760 our resource officers that are in these schools. Because during 1259 01:12:55.800 --> 01:13:00.560 the George Floyd discussion on the floor of council we 1260 01:13:00.640 --> 01:13:03.119 have members of council at the time, that was council 1261 01:13:03.199 --> 01:13:08.119 member Greg Lansman who was talking about we need to 1262 01:13:08.199 --> 01:13:12.159 reimagine or rethink or pull out resource officers out of 1263 01:13:12.159 --> 01:13:16.079 our schools. And I thought that that was not just 1264 01:13:16.119 --> 01:13:20.159 an overreaction, but that it would put our students in 1265 01:13:20.199 --> 01:13:21.720 our faculty at risk. 1266 01:13:21.840 --> 01:13:25.640 Yeah, and real quick, here wasn't the argument because school 1267 01:13:25.680 --> 01:13:29.399 resource officers, they're police officers who spend their time in 1268 01:13:29.399 --> 01:13:32.359 schools to keep order and you know, provide defense if 1269 01:13:32.399 --> 01:13:34.960 necessary and that kind of thing, but also is an 1270 01:13:35.000 --> 01:13:39.960 opportunity to engage and create better relations between police and 1271 01:13:40.039 --> 01:13:42.680 the students who might be misguided in thinking police are 1272 01:13:42.720 --> 01:13:45.640 all evil. But the argument against for pulling them out 1273 01:13:45.640 --> 01:13:47.880 of the schools was, well, it could be triggering and 1274 01:13:47.880 --> 01:13:50.760 there are people that live in certain communities that fear police, 1275 01:13:50.800 --> 01:13:52.680 and if you've got a police officer in a school, 1276 01:13:52.880 --> 01:13:55.239 that person may struggle. When I'm thinking ourselves, you know 1277 01:13:55.319 --> 01:13:57.319 that person needs to be sat down and talked to 1278 01:13:57.439 --> 01:13:59.439 and that reassured that no, you don't need to be 1279 01:13:59.479 --> 01:14:02.560 fearful this person. This person's here for your benefit. 1280 01:14:04.079 --> 01:14:09.119 Correct, Correct, And I'm saying my understanding is in that shooting, 1281 01:14:09.560 --> 01:14:13.840 there was a resource officer there in Georgia where those 1282 01:14:14.279 --> 01:14:18.560 two faculty members, two students, two fourteen year old students, 1283 01:14:18.920 --> 01:14:22.079 and nine other students who are could be still in 1284 01:14:22.119 --> 01:14:25.600 the hospital, some of them could be who are also injured. 1285 01:14:25.640 --> 01:14:29.039 So nine injured, four killed. Two of the four killed 1286 01:14:29.039 --> 01:14:33.239 were students and two were faculty. And so the reality 1287 01:14:33.439 --> 01:14:36.920 of making sure that we have resource officers in these 1288 01:14:36.960 --> 01:14:40.079 schools is critical. And I just want to remind the 1289 01:14:40.159 --> 01:14:45.640 public right that there was a vibrant public discussion about 1290 01:14:45.760 --> 01:14:49.720 changing that public policy here in Cincinnati, and some of 1291 01:14:49.760 --> 01:14:53.800 that was led by Greg Lansman, who's now a congressional member, 1292 01:14:54.319 --> 01:14:58.399 and I thought that his direction was not just misplaced, 1293 01:14:58.720 --> 01:15:01.119 but would have made our school it was more dangerous 1294 01:15:01.359 --> 01:15:03.920 at the time. And it was all during the context 1295 01:15:03.960 --> 01:15:07.880 of the George Floyd discussion. And I'm saying to you, 1296 01:15:07.920 --> 01:15:11.079 look what happened at the stadium at Elver and North 1297 01:15:11.119 --> 01:15:13.800 College Hill, because many people who are listening to this 1298 01:15:13.920 --> 01:15:16.840 have kids that are going to games, and we're parents 1299 01:15:17.039 --> 01:15:20.840 and we're concerned about keeping our children safe, and the 1300 01:15:21.399 --> 01:15:26.439 key people that are keeping our children safe our law enforcement. 1301 01:15:26.560 --> 01:15:29.039 It is the front line. And so when you start 1302 01:15:29.079 --> 01:15:33.399 having discussions about reimagining police departments, you have discussions about 1303 01:15:33.439 --> 01:15:36.199 defunding the police. This is where I'm connecting the dots. 1304 01:15:36.439 --> 01:15:38.840 When people are deciding who they want to vote for, 1305 01:15:39.199 --> 01:15:42.199 what kind of public policy do they want from their 1306 01:15:42.199 --> 01:15:46.079 elected officials, you have to remember these types of positions 1307 01:15:46.239 --> 01:15:50.000 that ultimately put our children and put our society at risk. 1308 01:15:50.000 --> 01:15:53.720 Brian Thomas, Yeah, with that question, and you know, honestly, Christopher, 1309 01:15:53.760 --> 01:15:56.079 I remember these arguments being made. I mean, the whole 1310 01:15:56.119 --> 01:15:59.239 idea of defunding the police just is mind boggling to me. 1311 01:15:59.720 --> 01:16:01.640 Meaning there are bad people in the world. There are 1312 01:16:01.680 --> 01:16:05.840 bad people in any given group, always so small subset, 1313 01:16:05.840 --> 01:16:07.439 and that the same thing with police. The idea is 1314 01:16:07.479 --> 01:16:09.720 you ferret out the bad ones and you maintain a 1315 01:16:09.760 --> 01:16:12.560 really great police force that people have respect for and 1316 01:16:12.960 --> 01:16:15.560 are appreciative of, for keeping peace in the community or 1317 01:16:15.560 --> 01:16:18.279 at least seeing that bad guys are brought to justice. 1318 01:16:18.720 --> 01:16:21.600 I don't understand how this ever became. I don't want 1319 01:16:21.640 --> 01:16:23.880 to say it's a winning argument defunding police, because you 1320 01:16:23.920 --> 01:16:26.520 and I both know, Christopher. In the neighborhoods and cities 1321 01:16:26.520 --> 01:16:29.039 where they did defund the police, things went to hell 1322 01:16:29.079 --> 01:16:30.800 in a handbasket. 1323 01:16:31.399 --> 01:16:34.079 And we're still paying for it. Now. Yeah, that's the 1324 01:16:34.159 --> 01:16:39.039 problem because it's so hard to recruit police officers across 1325 01:16:39.119 --> 01:16:43.399 the country because of the rhetoric, right, and because of 1326 01:16:43.439 --> 01:16:48.119 the Tuesday Morning quarterbacking. Right, These split split decisions that 1327 01:16:48.239 --> 01:16:51.479 officers have to make, right when someone is pointing a 1328 01:16:51.520 --> 01:16:54.720 gun at them or someone has a nice So the 1329 01:16:55.079 --> 01:16:57.680 reality of it is we have to make sure that 1330 01:16:57.880 --> 01:17:01.039 at the ballot box. So as we're deciding who we're 1331 01:17:01.039 --> 01:17:03.319 going to vote for. Now, you and I aren't saying 1332 01:17:03.760 --> 01:17:07.560 that what happened to George Floyd was right. It was outrageous, 1333 01:17:07.560 --> 01:17:10.920 it was wrong. We're not saying that there aren't officers 1334 01:17:10.960 --> 01:17:13.520 out here who need more training. We're not saying that 1335 01:17:13.560 --> 01:17:17.039 there aren't officers who make mistakes. That's not the discussion. 1336 01:17:17.399 --> 01:17:20.680 The problem with it is they went so extreme that 1337 01:17:20.720 --> 01:17:25.359 we want to defund, reimagine, take police out of our schools, 1338 01:17:25.520 --> 01:17:28.319 that they put society at risk, and now we have 1339 01:17:28.760 --> 01:17:32.600 a much more difficult time recruiting people to become officers. 1340 01:17:32.760 --> 01:17:36.239 And then the way we treated officers in those split 1341 01:17:36.359 --> 01:17:40.239 second decisions where their life is on the line, someone's 1342 01:17:40.279 --> 01:17:42.399 pointing a gun at them, and we say, hey, you 1343 01:17:42.439 --> 01:17:45.199 probably should have used your taser. No, you should have 1344 01:17:45.279 --> 01:17:48.239 used your gun. Somebody had a rifle. They just were inside. 1345 01:17:48.279 --> 01:17:51.079 Now the officers, this is real. When I was the 1346 01:17:51.159 --> 01:17:54.720 vice mayor, this gentleman in walnot Hills had killed his mother, 1347 01:17:55.119 --> 01:17:57.520 came out with a rifle that Now, of course they 1348 01:17:57.520 --> 01:17:59.399 didn't know we had just killed his mother. All they 1349 01:17:59.479 --> 01:18:01.399 see is a guy out there with a rifle and 1350 01:18:01.439 --> 01:18:03.840 they had to take his life. But you know, what 1351 01:18:03.920 --> 01:18:07.279 are we going to do Tuesday morning? Quarterback and Rose 1352 01:18:07.319 --> 01:18:10.439 officers who decided to shoot that person. They didn't know 1353 01:18:10.479 --> 01:18:12.520 whether the gun was loaded or not. They didn't know 1354 01:18:12.560 --> 01:18:15.479 as mom was inside did They just knew somebody pointed 1355 01:18:15.479 --> 01:18:19.039 a gun at them. We have to do better with 1356 01:18:19.319 --> 01:18:23.119 as a society of backing up our police officers as 1357 01:18:23.159 --> 01:18:26.079 they're making these split second decisions. And so what happened 1358 01:18:26.079 --> 01:18:28.119 here in our city, Because people listening to your show 1359 01:18:28.359 --> 01:18:31.319 all across the United States of America, they're dealing with 1360 01:18:31.359 --> 01:18:33.960 the same issues that we're dealing with. I'm saying to 1361 01:18:34.039 --> 01:18:37.279 the public, it's not normal to go to a football 1362 01:18:37.319 --> 01:18:40.159 game and for the football players to be diving on 1363 01:18:40.279 --> 01:18:43.880 the field, and for the entire stadium to be evacuated. 1364 01:18:44.039 --> 01:18:46.479 And I just want to say, that's not the society 1365 01:18:46.520 --> 01:18:48.760 that we have to live in. It is the society 1366 01:18:48.840 --> 01:18:52.119 we are choosing to live in because of some of 1367 01:18:52.159 --> 01:18:54.600 the behavior of some of our public policy makers. 1368 01:18:54.600 --> 01:18:57.960 Aren't here Man so much loaded into that follow up. Wise, 1369 01:18:58.000 --> 01:19:00.479 we'll have to pause now seven thirty six with the 1370 01:19:00.560 --> 01:19:03.039 former vice mayor and the Smith. Event after I tell 1371 01:19:03.039 --> 01:19:05.520 you something that can be affordable, which is definitely not. 1372 01:19:05.640 --> 01:19:10.159 The hospital imaging departments, images, MRI, CT scans, echo cardiograms, ultrasounds, 1373 01:19:10.560 --> 01:19:13.119 loan screenings, any one of those could set you back 1374 01:19:13.199 --> 01:19:16.720 thousands and thousands of dollars, literally set you back. And 1375 01:19:16.760 --> 01:19:19.319 that's even after your insurance payment. Talked to Jeff, my friend, 1376 01:19:20.439 --> 01:19:23.560 after his insurance process is echo cardiogram, it was going 1377 01:19:23.600 --> 01:19:25.199 to cost them thirty one hundred dollars. You know how 1378 01:19:25.239 --> 01:19:27.960 much an echo cardiogram is it Affordable imaging services, the 1379 01:19:28.039 --> 01:19:31.159 whole thing, including the board certified radiologists report which you 1380 01:19:31.199 --> 01:19:33.239 and your doc get within forty eight hours of the 1381 01:19:33.279 --> 01:19:37.159 image being taken.

Most expensive image you can get is 1385 01:19:47.399 --> 01:19:50.720 an MRI with a contrast. It's six forty five four 1386 01:19:50.840 --> 01:19:54.720 ninety five without the contrast. Notice the difference, not thousands, 1387 01:19:54.720 --> 01:19:56.520 including like up to five grand for one of these 1388 01:19:56.520 --> 01:19:59.640 and separate bills for the radiologist.

Christopher. 1403 01:20:39.239 --> 01:20:40.079 You do a great job. 1404 01:20:41.359 --> 01:20:43.960 Thank you, brother, I appreciate it. Man, And I just 1405 01:20:43.960 --> 01:20:46.199 want to say I'm gonna touch on this just briefly. 1406 01:20:46.640 --> 01:20:50.159 I'll talk more about it with more information. But we 1407 01:20:50.279 --> 01:20:53.439 know about the golfer, you know, Scottie Scheffler. I think 1408 01:20:53.479 --> 01:20:55.119 that's how you pronounce his name. You know, I'm not 1409 01:20:55.159 --> 01:20:57.920 a big sports person, but he was stopped by the police, 1410 01:20:58.760 --> 01:21:02.600 arrested this year prior to you know, right before playing 1411 01:21:03.000 --> 01:21:06.439 a golf game. And we have Truery Hill down in 1412 01:21:06.439 --> 01:21:10.000 Miami that experienced something very similar to that yesterday. We 1413 01:21:10.079 --> 01:21:12.319 don't know the details around it. We know it was 1414 01:21:12.319 --> 01:21:14.439 a traffic stop. You know, there's video of him on 1415 01:21:14.479 --> 01:21:17.920 the ground being handcuffed, and we know that at least 1416 01:21:17.920 --> 01:21:20.960 one officer has been put on administrative lead. But let's 1417 01:21:21.039 --> 01:21:23.840 wait and see, all right, let's see the body cam. 1418 01:21:24.319 --> 01:21:27.640 He says he was very respectful. The bottom line here is, man, 1419 01:21:27.960 --> 01:21:29.600 is that all of this is going to come back 1420 01:21:29.640 --> 01:21:33.760 to training, how our officers are responding in these situations. 1421 01:21:33.800 --> 01:21:37.279 And again, I don't know the circumstances behind this particular 1422 01:21:39.680 --> 01:21:42.439 why he was being detained. But I can tell you 1423 01:21:42.479 --> 01:21:44.119 that there's going to be a lot of chatter about 1424 01:21:44.119 --> 01:21:47.279 it over the next forty eight hours. And usually, you know, 1425 01:21:47.359 --> 01:21:50.520 we have an officer involved shooting, it's protocol to put 1426 01:21:50.560 --> 01:21:55.399 somebody on administrative lead. It's not necessarily protocol from my experience, 1427 01:21:55.439 --> 01:21:57.800 to do it during a traffic stop. So it could 1428 01:21:57.800 --> 01:22:00.800 be that the chief has already viewed this the cam 1429 01:22:00.920 --> 01:22:03.560 the body can and said, hey, there were some issues 1430 01:22:03.600 --> 01:22:06.199 here that we need to deal with, more training, whatever. 1431 01:22:07.000 --> 01:22:09.479 But I hope, I hope some good comes from it. 1432 01:22:09.960 --> 01:22:11.800 At the end of the day, I want to just 1433 01:22:11.880 --> 01:22:14.520 pivot because I know we got you know, my time 1434 01:22:14.600 --> 01:22:18.920 is really short. We've got we've got a big debate tomorrow. 1435 01:22:20.479 --> 01:22:25.319 It's huge. It probably in my lifetime since I've been 1436 01:22:25.319 --> 01:22:29.279 following politics since I was about, you know, fifteen, this 1437 01:22:29.359 --> 01:22:34.159 is probably the biggest debate, consequential debate for both candidates 1438 01:22:34.800 --> 01:22:36.840 coming up, you know. And what I will say to 1439 01:22:36.880 --> 01:22:40.119 you is that this is an opportunity for the first time, 1440 01:22:40.239 --> 01:22:43.239 which is unusual in my lifetime, for us to actually 1441 01:22:43.920 --> 01:22:47.359 hear what the new candidate, meaning the candidate that it 1442 01:22:47.479 --> 01:22:50.319 was replaced for Biden, which is Vice President Harris what 1443 01:22:50.439 --> 01:22:54.560 her public policy positions are. That is incredibly unusual because 1444 01:22:54.640 --> 01:22:57.000 early voting in some states start in about a week 1445 01:22:57.119 --> 01:23:00.000 ye and so you know this is going to be 1446 01:23:00.159 --> 01:23:03.600 the only opportunity that the public is going to have. 1447 01:23:03.680 --> 01:23:07.479 So I encourage people to watch this very closely and 1448 01:23:08.000 --> 01:23:12.000 listen for public policy, not insults, to try to figure 1449 01:23:12.039 --> 01:23:15.840 out what these two candidates have to offer our country 1450 01:23:15.840 --> 01:23:18.800 and what their vision is, and if it's more of 1451 01:23:19.359 --> 01:23:25.760 inflationary things like you know, we want to raise taxes 1452 01:23:26.600 --> 01:23:31.039 to twenty eight percent. We want to tax unrealized capital gains. 1453 01:23:31.359 --> 01:23:34.279 That's very scary to me. We want to raise the 1454 01:23:34.359 --> 01:23:38.840 death tax to fifty percent. Listen to that. Believe people 1455 01:23:38.840 --> 01:23:42.760 when they're telling you something. When I hear things like 1456 01:23:42.800 --> 01:23:45.479 we want to give twenty five thousand dollars to everybody 1457 01:23:45.479 --> 01:23:48.760 wants to buy out, I go, why not just work 1458 01:23:48.800 --> 01:23:52.399 two jobs like I had to do to save the 1459 01:23:52.479 --> 01:23:55.039 money in order for me to get my first down payment. 1460 01:23:55.079 --> 01:23:57.479 My parents didn't give me my first down payment. I 1461 01:23:57.560 --> 01:24:00.840 was out cutting grass. I was doing every thing I could, 1462 01:24:00.920 --> 01:24:04.039 working several jobs in order for my wife, Pam and 1463 01:24:04.119 --> 01:24:06.920 I to say for our first down payment for a house. 1464 01:24:07.279 --> 01:24:10.880 I don't know what this mindset is that somebody has 1465 01:24:10.960 --> 01:24:14.880 to give you something that you haven't earned. You know, 1466 01:24:15.039 --> 01:24:19.760 these these these participation trophies, you know that everybody has 1467 01:24:19.800 --> 01:24:24.119 to get. And so this is my frustration with this 1468 01:24:24.239 --> 01:24:27.359 administration is I've got a kid that just came back. 1469 01:24:27.399 --> 01:24:30.079 I've been very proud of him and speaking served four 1470 01:24:30.159 --> 01:24:32.840 years in the military and just signed back up for 1471 01:24:32.920 --> 01:24:36.399 the Air National Guard. And he's trying to enroll in 1472 01:24:36.479 --> 01:24:39.600 the University of Cincinnati to go to school. He did 1473 01:24:39.600 --> 01:24:44.199 his first month of training this weekend in Blue ash 1474 01:24:44.479 --> 01:24:47.239 But what's my point. My point is that he's not 1475 01:24:47.359 --> 01:24:50.479 in student loan debt. He graduated from high school and 1476 01:24:50.560 --> 01:24:54.239 went to the military. Why do I have to pay 1477 01:24:54.279 --> 01:24:58.079 off the debt of somebody who decided to go to 1478 01:24:58.159 --> 01:25:01.960 Harvard or go to Yale, or go to Columbia University, 1479 01:25:02.079 --> 01:25:05.079 or go to Ohio State. Why am I paying off 1480 01:25:05.079 --> 01:25:07.920 their student loan debt. Whyn't the person who went and 1481 01:25:08.000 --> 01:25:12.920 got a trade, who's an iron worker, who's a carpenter, 1482 01:25:12.960 --> 01:25:15.880 who's an electrician, who's a plumber. Why are they paying 1483 01:25:15.920 --> 01:25:19.399 off the student loans for somebody who went to Harvard 1484 01:25:19.640 --> 01:25:24.199 or Ohio State or ou or Howard University or Tuskegee University. 1485 01:25:24.560 --> 01:25:27.840 I don't understand it, Brian Todgas And it burns my 1486 01:25:28.079 --> 01:25:31.920 butt that this socialism conversation, I want to hear that 1487 01:25:32.000 --> 01:25:35.159 vetted out. Why are we making decisions to pay off 1488 01:25:35.159 --> 01:25:38.800 people's student loans when my wife and I saved money, 1489 01:25:38.960 --> 01:25:42.159 struggled to save our pities in order to try to 1490 01:25:42.239 --> 01:25:44.760 provide some financial resources for our kids to go to 1491 01:25:44.800 --> 01:25:48.239 college so they wouldn't have as much student loan debt 1492 01:25:48.319 --> 01:25:50.680 or no student loan debt. Those are the things I 1493 01:25:50.720 --> 01:25:54.359 want to hear these candidates talk about. I don't agree 1494 01:25:54.399 --> 01:25:57.199 with it, and I think that everybody should be thinking 1495 01:25:57.239 --> 01:26:01.479 about it's not free. So every time Biden President Biden 1496 01:26:01.520 --> 01:26:05.640 says I've paid off a student loan debt, he didn't. 1497 01:26:05.920 --> 01:26:08.880 He added debt to our debt that you and I 1498 01:26:09.000 --> 01:26:11.800 then are, our children, are our great great grandchildren are 1499 01:26:11.840 --> 01:26:14.960 going to have to pay off. Nothing is free in America. 1500 01:26:15.000 --> 01:26:17.600 And I'm tired of hearing the word free. Nothing. The 1501 01:26:17.640 --> 01:26:20.560 street car in Cincinnati isn't free. We told him it 1502 01:26:20.600 --> 01:26:23.319 wasn't going to be free. We're paying and underwriting the 1503 01:26:23.319 --> 01:26:26.039 street car every time somebody gets on it. Student loans 1504 01:26:26.079 --> 01:26:28.319 aren't free. Nothing is free. 1505 01:26:29.520 --> 01:26:32.119 That's hilarious. Rim you managed to get the street car 1506 01:26:32.239 --> 01:26:34.239 in there after all that. We went from Guns and 1507 01:26:34.319 --> 01:26:37.560 Believes Safety office. 1508 01:26:37.680 --> 01:26:40.039 Because people keep walking up to me saying the street 1509 01:26:40.039 --> 01:26:43.479 car is successful. The street car is not successful. We're 1510 01:26:43.600 --> 01:26:46.119 underwriting the street car while they're talking about building the 1511 01:26:46.159 --> 01:26:48.760 second phase of it. It's something we can't afford. We 1512 01:26:48.800 --> 01:26:51.000 couldn't afford it when I was down there. We can't 1513 01:26:51.000 --> 01:26:53.840 afford it now. We can't afford to pay off everybody's 1514 01:26:53.880 --> 01:26:57.960 student loans. Go get a second job day for your 1515 01:26:58.000 --> 01:27:02.159 down payment, deferred gratification. Where is the work ethic for 1516 01:27:02.199 --> 01:27:05.359 Americans are? Where are our parents telling our young people? 1517 01:27:05.560 --> 01:27:08.159 Get out here, work your butts off. That's how you're 1518 01:27:08.159 --> 01:27:11.479 going to get a hit. Nobody cares about your race, buddy, 1519 01:27:11.640 --> 01:27:15.840 Nobody cares about your gender, nobody cares about your sexual orientation. 1520 01:27:16.199 --> 01:27:19.399 What we care about is you coming to work and working. 1521 01:27:20.000 --> 01:27:22.319 What's going on with our kids who think they show 1522 01:27:22.399 --> 01:27:24.319 up for a job, don't have to work, and I 1523 01:27:24.399 --> 01:27:27.119 still pay you? This is what This is what my 1524 01:27:27.239 --> 01:27:29.680 clients as a financial brander are telling me. Yeah, I'm 1525 01:27:29.680 --> 01:27:31.920 trying to hire these young people and they've got their 1526 01:27:31.960 --> 01:27:34.000 head down, or they're telling me they need to take 1527 01:27:34.000 --> 01:27:36.720 a break. What are you talking about? You just got here. 1528 01:27:37.199 --> 01:27:40.039 We need to get this work ethic back in our 1529 01:27:40.079 --> 01:27:43.039 society Brian Thomas. And it's not coming from the White House. 1530 01:27:43.039 --> 01:27:46.159 What they're telling people is I will give you everything 1531 01:27:46.239 --> 01:27:48.239 for free. It's all yours. 1532 01:27:48.600 --> 01:27:51.039 That's a problem, and that's how they end up controlling 1533 01:27:51.039 --> 01:27:53.159 you and hooking you up to the umbilical corta government 1534 01:27:53.199 --> 01:27:55.560 over which you have no control over your future. You 1535 01:27:55.600 --> 01:27:58.359 are stuck relying on them to provide for what you 1536 01:27:58.399 --> 01:28:03.119 should be able to provide for yourself. Scary, isn't it, Christopher, 1537 01:28:03.159 --> 01:28:04.720 It's scary. And you're hearing this saying. I mean, I 1538 01:28:04.760 --> 01:28:07.319 hear anecdotally from business owners the same thing about the 1539 01:28:07.319 --> 01:28:10.439 work ethic of the youngest in the working class. They 1540 01:28:10.479 --> 01:28:12.239 do not like to come to work, they do not 1541 01:28:12.399 --> 01:28:14.199 like to show up, and they quite often will just 1542 01:28:14.279 --> 01:28:17.279 quit out of nowhere with no mourning ahead of times, 1543 01:28:17.319 --> 01:28:19.600 like I'm not going in period indus story. How do 1544 01:28:19.640 --> 01:28:21.800 you run a business with people who just won't show up? 1545 01:28:23.159 --> 01:28:26.000 Crazy? Brian Thomas. And I'm saying to you, if we 1546 01:28:26.079 --> 01:28:30.880 continue on this track of these discussions, of socialism and communism. 1547 01:28:31.119 --> 01:28:33.880 We're gonna this is going to get worse. Our grandparents 1548 01:28:33.920 --> 01:28:36.479 and great grandparents never thought we would be in the 1549 01:28:36.520 --> 01:28:38.680 place that we are in now. And that's why the 1550 01:28:38.800 --> 01:28:42.279 debate tomorrow night at nine o'clock is so important for 1551 01:28:42.359 --> 01:28:45.880 everybody to listen to. What are we talking about. Our 1552 01:28:45.920 --> 01:28:49.399 government is not in the business of just giving away money, 1553 01:28:49.399 --> 01:28:52.079 Brian Thomas. That's not what the government is put in 1554 01:28:52.079 --> 01:28:54.840 place for its government should be much smaller, and we 1555 01:28:54.880 --> 01:28:57.840 should not now. I believe in safety net services. People 1556 01:28:57.920 --> 01:29:01.000 we hear hard times, we provide them a period of 1557 01:29:01.079 --> 01:29:03.359 time to get back on their feet. But that's not 1558 01:29:03.399 --> 01:29:06.520 a lifetime of benefits of thirty years that I'm providing 1559 01:29:06.560 --> 01:29:09.079 you some type of social benefit for the rest of 1560 01:29:09.119 --> 01:29:12.600 your life. We've got able body people in this country 1561 01:29:12.600 --> 01:29:15.640 who will not work. That is a problem, Brian Thomas. 1562 01:29:15.680 --> 01:29:17.880 And that's a part of my sweepment this morning, just 1563 01:29:17.920 --> 01:29:20.960 to say I am tired of governments that are wanting 1564 01:29:21.039 --> 01:29:23.720 to give everything away. And they use the word free. 1565 01:29:23.960 --> 01:29:26.840 It's not free. They're taking money from my check, from 1566 01:29:26.920 --> 01:29:30.439 my hard earned work, giving it to somebody else who's 1567 01:29:30.520 --> 01:29:32.800 choosing not to work, whether it's for them to pay 1568 01:29:32.800 --> 01:29:35.439 off their student loans or whether it's for them decide. 1569 01:29:35.479 --> 01:29:37.000 I don't want to work. I don't want to get 1570 01:29:37.039 --> 01:29:39.159 up and put air ten hours in on a job. 1571 01:29:39.479 --> 01:29:41.960 And I had to work my butt off for what 1572 01:29:42.199 --> 01:29:44.640 the little things that I have in this world right now. 1573 01:29:44.840 --> 01:29:47.159 Nobody gave it to me. I had to work my 1574 01:29:47.319 --> 01:29:49.760 butt off. That's how I got it. And I hope 1575 01:29:49.840 --> 01:29:51.920 some people are listening to me. If you want to 1576 01:29:51.960 --> 01:29:54.319 get ahead in this world, if you really want to 1577 01:29:54.359 --> 01:29:58.079 make a difference in this world, learn about work. Education 1578 01:29:58.279 --> 01:30:00.239 is great, but if you don't know how to work 1579 01:30:00.800 --> 01:30:04.159 every single day, nobody wants you. You can't get ahead. 1580 01:30:04.600 --> 01:30:06.720 You can have an eighth grade education and end up 1581 01:30:06.720 --> 01:30:10.000 being a multi multi millionaire in this country. That's just 1582 01:30:10.039 --> 01:30:12.319 how we have it laid out. The problem here is 1583 01:30:12.359 --> 01:30:15.840 that our children are lazy brothers and they're being given 1584 01:30:15.880 --> 01:30:19.920 everything for free, and they're being coddled. And that's the problem. 1585 01:30:20.000 --> 01:30:22.399 I don't want a government that coddles me. Thank you 1586 01:30:22.520 --> 01:30:22.920 very men. 1587 01:30:23.039 --> 01:30:26.119 Christopher Smithman on Fire today as usual.

Always looking forward to 1594 01:30:45.720 --> 01:30:48.000 this time every week. Talk to Brian James to call 1595 01:30:48.039 --> 01:30:51.199 it money Monday or we're financials Brian James, diving into 1596 01:30:51.239 --> 01:30:55.439 some money related topics and getting ourselves hopefully prepared for retirement. 1597 01:30:55.520 --> 01:30:58.600 And you know, good financial planner who's got your interest 1598 01:30:58.640 --> 01:31:01.600 in mind as a fiduciary obligation is what you need 1599 01:31:01.640 --> 01:31:03.760 in the world of preparing yourself for the future, isn't 1600 01:31:03.760 --> 01:31:06.880 that right, Brian James. Welcome back, my friend. Thank you sir, 1601 01:31:07.159 --> 01:31:11.479 who days I'd not here, just waiting to see if 1602 01:31:11.479 --> 01:31:14.079 you brought it up because they figured you would. I 1603 01:31:14.159 --> 01:31:16.039 have to wallow in it, you know. It's just not 1604 01:31:16.119 --> 01:31:18.760 football season without little wallowing, I know. And it's just 1605 01:31:18.760 --> 01:31:21.199 not football season without Bengals losing the first game of 1606 01:31:21.199 --> 01:31:24.279 the season either. So anyway, we'll remain optimistic at least 1607 01:31:24.279 --> 01:31:27.960 for the balance of the season. Thankfully, I am not 1608 01:31:28.000 --> 01:31:30.720 a betting man, all right, got three topics we talk 1609 01:31:30.720 --> 01:31:33.119 about today. I actually do not know which order you 1610 01:31:33.159 --> 01:31:35.960 want to dive on into them. We have presidential elections, 1611 01:31:36.000 --> 01:31:38.159 we have taking money out of four to one k, 1612 01:31:38.279 --> 01:31:41.840 and also well tax cut expirations and how that might 1613 01:31:41.880 --> 01:31:43.279 impact us. What do you want to start with. 1614 01:31:43.800 --> 01:31:46.880 Yeah, so I think the tax cut things coming up 1615 01:31:46.880 --> 01:31:49.119 here are going to catch people off guard. 1616 01:31:49.199 --> 01:31:50.800 So what we're talking about here. 1617 01:31:50.840 --> 01:31:54.560 In twenty seventeen, the Trump administration and acted the Tax 1618 01:31:54.600 --> 01:31:59.079 Cuts and Jobs Act, or commonly known as the TCGA 1619 01:31:59.359 --> 01:32:03.720 GCJ A rather and this involved a slight tax cut. 1620 01:32:03.520 --> 01:32:04.479 For me and you. 1621 01:32:04.239 --> 01:32:07.000 If you compare your taxes between those years, if you 1622 01:32:07.000 --> 01:32:08.920 look at your ten forty and literally do the math 1623 01:32:08.960 --> 01:32:12.439 of dividing total tax due by your agi, compare those 1624 01:32:12.439 --> 01:32:15.239 two years and you'll see about a two percent decrease 1625 01:32:15.279 --> 01:32:17.479 in your taxes. So, yes, the masses did get a 1626 01:32:17.520 --> 01:32:21.319 tax cut at that time. Corporations, however, got a tax 1627 01:32:21.359 --> 01:32:24.960 cut from the top corporate bracket was thirty five percent 1628 01:32:25.079 --> 01:32:28.319 that it is currently twenty one percent. So corporation's got 1629 01:32:28.359 --> 01:32:31.159 a massive tax cut. This isn't news. We've known about 1630 01:32:31.159 --> 01:32:35.439 this since this act went into place. But here's the thing. 1631 01:32:36.039 --> 01:32:39.520 That tax cut is going to sunset at the end 1632 01:32:39.520 --> 01:32:40.760 of twenty twenty five. 1633 01:32:41.319 --> 01:32:42.239 But not all of it. 1634 01:32:42.600 --> 01:32:46.000 Your and my taxes are going back up. Some of 1635 01:32:46.000 --> 01:32:47.439 the other things that are going to happen when when 1636 01:32:47.439 --> 01:32:51.680 the sunset kicks in is that state and local deductions 1637 01:32:51.920 --> 01:32:55.119 are going to be removed, and income tax brackets will 1638 01:32:55.119 --> 01:32:57.680 will change a little bit. The standard deduction is going 1639 01:32:57.680 --> 01:32:59.640 to drop from its current twenty four to eight back 1640 01:32:59.680 --> 01:33:02.520 down to twelve seven. So we might be back to 1641 01:33:02.600 --> 01:33:04.600 a time where it makes more sense to hang on to. 1642 01:33:04.680 --> 01:33:06.359 Your itemizing again. 1643 01:33:07.119 --> 01:33:09.560 We could be itemizing again and all that kind of stuff. 1644 01:33:10.199 --> 01:33:12.800 Toile tax credit going from two thousand down to one thousand. 1645 01:33:13.479 --> 01:33:14.119 Here's a big one. 1646 01:33:14.159 --> 01:33:14.359 This. 1647 01:33:14.359 --> 01:33:15.479 This will catch some off guard. 1648 01:33:15.479 --> 01:33:18.000 This sounds like monopoly money to some people, but other 1649 01:33:18.039 --> 01:33:21.479 people will should be paying attention to this. But the 1650 01:33:21.640 --> 01:33:23.920 estate tax exemption is going to go from its current 1651 01:33:23.960 --> 01:33:27.079 eleven point seven million per human being, so twenty three 1652 01:33:27.159 --> 01:33:29.279 million or so for a married couple, that's going to 1653 01:33:29.359 --> 01:33:31.279 drop to five and a half million. Now, again, that's 1654 01:33:31.279 --> 01:33:32.960 a lot of money, and most people aren't worried at 1655 01:33:33.000 --> 01:33:35.680 that level. However, when you add up to the value 1656 01:33:35.720 --> 01:33:38.960 of homes and perhaps business assets and rental properties, you 1657 01:33:39.000 --> 01:33:41.520 know some people are in this situation where you're sitting 1658 01:33:41.560 --> 01:33:43.439 here right now today, you may not have an estate 1659 01:33:43.479 --> 01:33:47.680 tax issue. Come twenty six, you suddenly will. Now that's 1660 01:33:47.720 --> 01:33:50.880 the changes that are coming. The changes that are not coming, Brian. 1661 01:33:51.159 --> 01:33:54.239 That corporate tax rate that is not going to sunset, 1662 01:33:54.319 --> 01:33:55.119 So that tells you. 1663 01:33:55.159 --> 01:33:56.319 Who this was all for. 1664 01:33:56.880 --> 01:33:59.359 The reason we got this through and we put sunsets 1665 01:33:59.359 --> 01:34:01.119 on everything else, is that so we could pay for 1666 01:34:01.199 --> 01:34:03.199 corporate tax cuts and keep them in place. 1667 01:34:04.000 --> 01:34:06.119 Well, and I'm the type of person believes in sound 1668 01:34:06.159 --> 01:34:08.840 economic principles. If I'm a business and I have an 1669 01:34:08.840 --> 01:34:13.000 additional cost in my business, whether it's the price of electricity, gasoline, 1670 01:34:13.520 --> 01:34:16.960 or my income tax bill, that's going to impact my 1671 01:34:16.960 --> 01:34:18.640 bottom line, and I'm going to do my best to 1672 01:34:18.680 --> 01:34:21.760 pass along that cost to the consumer of my products. 1673 01:34:21.800 --> 01:34:24.239 So it's going to be a pass through. So, I mean, 1674 01:34:24.319 --> 01:34:26.920 if the corporate tax rate went back to thirty five, 1675 01:34:26.920 --> 01:34:29.039 would would be the highest rate on the planet like 1676 01:34:29.079 --> 01:34:31.960 it was before twenty one. At least is in line 1677 01:34:31.960 --> 01:34:33.960 with the balance of the world, allowing us to have 1678 01:34:34.000 --> 01:34:38.239 some measure of competitive you know, our business being competitive 1679 01:34:38.239 --> 01:34:40.960 with global businesses. But if it goes up, I just 1680 01:34:41.039 --> 01:34:43.000 kind of view it as the price of whatever I'm 1681 01:34:43.000 --> 01:34:44.560 buying from them is going to go up. 1682 01:34:45.119 --> 01:34:48.880 Sure, and I like that sentiment. That's heartwarming. However, we 1683 01:34:49.039 --> 01:34:52.119 put these tax cuts in place for corporations in twenty seventeen. 1684 01:34:52.199 --> 01:34:54.199 You tell me what the headlines have been on price 1685 01:34:54.239 --> 01:34:58.760 inflation ever since. So have they passed that through? You're right, 1686 01:34:58.800 --> 01:35:01.560 they passed the increases through to the consumer. Of course 1687 01:35:01.600 --> 01:35:03.880 that's to be expected as just like it works. But 1688 01:35:04.079 --> 01:35:06.039 do they pass the decreases through. The answer to that 1689 01:35:06.119 --> 01:35:08.439 is a big fat no. So the way you get 1690 01:35:08.479 --> 01:35:10.760 to deal with this, though, is if you are if 1691 01:35:10.800 --> 01:35:13.399 you have your portfolio set up properly well, then you're 1692 01:35:13.399 --> 01:35:16.199 benefiting from this. You own shares of the very companies 1693 01:35:16.479 --> 01:35:19.199 who are who are pocketing the savings they are getting 1694 01:35:19.439 --> 01:35:21.439 from the tax cuts that were put in place from 1695 01:35:21.479 --> 01:35:23.800 twenty seventeen. You're not going to get them in the play. 1696 01:35:24.119 --> 01:35:27.439 You will not get benefit in the form of reduced prices. 1697 01:35:27.479 --> 01:35:29.399 They are not going to pass that through. But that's 1698 01:35:29.399 --> 01:35:31.520 why you need to make sure you have a balanced portfolio. 1699 01:35:31.640 --> 01:35:33.520 The reason I've said this before, the reason we haven't 1700 01:35:33.520 --> 01:35:35.399 had a revolution in this country in two hundred and 1701 01:35:35.479 --> 01:35:37.960 close to two hundred and fifty years is because we 1702 01:35:38.000 --> 01:35:40.720 get to own parts of the estate via the stock market. 1703 01:35:40.880 --> 01:35:43.600 Yeah, if you participate, that's one of the means that 1704 01:35:43.720 --> 01:35:46.479 keeps floating around online. You know, you're better off today 1705 01:35:46.520 --> 01:35:48.079 than you were four years ago. And they point to 1706 01:35:48.079 --> 01:35:50.960 the stock market and yeah, the stock market's going crazy, 1707 01:35:51.399 --> 01:35:53.720 and thankfully I'm invested in it. But you know, there's 1708 01:35:53.720 --> 01:35:57.119 a whole lot of people out there in the country 1709 01:35:57.119 --> 01:36:00.000 that are going to rely exclusively on social security and retirement. 1710 01:36:00.039 --> 01:36:02.720 And I saw this article. They did some numbers crunching. 1711 01:36:02.800 --> 01:36:07.560 It's sixty sixty three trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities. Uh, 1712 01:36:07.640 --> 01:36:09.640 And the article pointed out that like eighty eight percent 1713 01:36:09.640 --> 01:36:12.399 of people are going to rely primarily on social Security 1714 01:36:12.479 --> 01:36:15.239 to even survive, and that something's going to have to change. 1715 01:36:15.560 --> 01:36:18.800 Kamala Harris is out talking about increasing and expanding social 1716 01:36:18.880 --> 01:36:21.279 Security as well as other social welfare programs which are 1717 01:36:21.319 --> 01:36:25.119 on similarly unstable ground. So you got to be invested. 1718 01:36:25.199 --> 01:36:27.319 So are you better off now than you were four 1719 01:36:27.359 --> 01:36:30.000 years ago? Yeah, if you're in the market and you're invested. 1720 01:36:30.039 --> 01:36:32.239 But if you're not, you're still paying a high price 1721 01:36:32.279 --> 01:36:35.479 for eggs and bread and milk and everything else. Exactly. 1722 01:36:35.560 --> 01:36:37.760 Yeah, so you have to find a way. So my 1723 01:36:38.159 --> 01:36:40.560 daughter just moved out. She's got her first big, big 1724 01:36:40.600 --> 01:36:41.439 kid adult job. 1725 01:36:41.840 --> 01:36:45.319 Congnsulation. Man, Well, thank you, thank you. It's exciting, it is, 1726 01:36:47.319 --> 01:36:48.279 I know, it's great. 1727 01:36:49.239 --> 01:36:51.000 So I told her, you know, the very first thing 1728 01:36:51.039 --> 01:36:52.399 we're going to do, and this is this is it 1729 01:36:52.439 --> 01:36:53.840 is just the old pay yourself first. 1730 01:36:53.840 --> 01:36:54.960 But we've walked all through this. 1731 01:36:55.600 --> 01:36:57.960 You know, we've supported her a lot of course through 1732 01:36:58.039 --> 01:37:00.319 you know, student loans, and we got that all covered. 1733 01:37:00.359 --> 01:37:02.680 And I told her, you don't owe us anything, but 1734 01:37:03.239 --> 01:37:05.840 the payment quote unquote you're gonna make me is I 1735 01:37:05.920 --> 01:37:07.920 want ten percent of your income going into your four 1736 01:37:07.960 --> 01:37:09.560 oh one K for the rest of your life. That's 1737 01:37:09.560 --> 01:37:12.319 the bare minimum, because that's the only way young people 1738 01:37:12.359 --> 01:37:14.359 are going to survive because of what you just brought up. 1739 01:37:14.920 --> 01:37:16.640 You just mentioned a term, Brian, that I think I 1740 01:37:16.640 --> 01:37:19.199 think that gets lost unfunded liability. 1741 01:37:19.600 --> 01:37:20.439 That is a. 1742 01:37:20.279 --> 01:37:22.479 Fancy accounting word that a lot of people just kind 1743 01:37:22.479 --> 01:37:25.479 of let slip by them. Most people know that we 1744 01:37:25.600 --> 01:37:28.439 have a huge amount of debt in this country, thirty trillion. 1745 01:37:28.119 --> 01:37:29.199 Dollars or whatever it is. 1746 01:37:29.439 --> 01:37:32.840 That's the calculated debt, right, that's what we know about. 1747 01:37:33.199 --> 01:37:36.880 That does not include social Security and medicare calculations. We 1748 01:37:36.880 --> 01:37:39.319 don't bother to put those in the debt numbers because 1749 01:37:39.319 --> 01:37:41.239 that just makes it it's already scary. That just makes 1750 01:37:41.239 --> 01:37:43.640 it even worse. So let's just ignore those. That's what 1751 01:37:43.680 --> 01:37:46.000 we mean when we say unfunded liabilities. We don't have 1752 01:37:46.039 --> 01:37:47.880 a plan to pay for it. So you're right, you 1753 01:37:47.960 --> 01:37:50.159 have to plan for yourself. You have got to invest, 1754 01:37:50.199 --> 01:37:52.520 and you have got to realize that the stock market's 1755 01:37:52.520 --> 01:37:53.960 going to bounce up and down and you're going to 1756 01:37:54.000 --> 01:37:54.960 need to ride along with it. 1757 01:37:54.960 --> 01:37:56.920 It's the only thing that's going to save you over time. 1758 01:37:57.159 --> 01:38:00.760 And you know that. And your philosophy is the philosophy 1759 01:38:01.159 --> 01:38:03.319 I guess I got it from my parents about being 1760 01:38:03.359 --> 01:38:06.159 frugal and saving and planning ahead, because you know your 1761 01:38:06.640 --> 01:38:08.800 I always viewed life as I am not going to 1762 01:38:08.840 --> 01:38:10.479 be able to I'm not going to be able to 1763 01:38:10.560 --> 01:38:13.760 rely on any body or any government to feed me, 1764 01:38:13.840 --> 01:38:15.399 and I better damn well be in a position to 1765 01:38:15.439 --> 01:38:18.039 take care of myself. So if you just go ahead 1766 01:38:18.079 --> 01:38:20.800 on that strategy that you mentioned, you take ten percent 1767 01:38:20.840 --> 01:38:23.960 out and you invest it, it's still your money. You 1768 01:38:24.039 --> 01:38:27.600 can see it and watch it grow. You just can't 1769 01:38:27.600 --> 01:38:30.000 spend it right now. But if you're not used to 1770 01:38:30.039 --> 01:38:32.319 having it in your pocket and you have been putting 1771 01:38:32.359 --> 01:38:34.279 in a way, you get used to the idea that 1772 01:38:34.319 --> 01:38:37.119 you're got ten percent less to work with during the week, 1773 01:38:37.479 --> 01:38:39.640 and it works out great. Again, that money is it's 1774 01:38:39.640 --> 01:38:41.560 not like you're not going to get that money. It's 1775 01:38:41.600 --> 01:38:44.000 it's going to grow. Yeah, And I'll tell you what 1776 01:38:44.079 --> 01:38:44.560 it breathes. 1777 01:38:44.600 --> 01:38:47.279 That that that frugality, that sense of of you know, 1778 01:38:47.399 --> 01:38:50.680 kind of being responsible, all that it is. It's extremely important. 1779 01:38:50.680 --> 01:38:52.039 But first of all, you can overdo it too. 1780 01:38:52.119 --> 01:38:52.239 Right. 1781 01:38:52.239 --> 01:38:54.079 If you're gonna be frugal to the hilt, then your 1782 01:38:54.079 --> 01:38:56.279 marriage is probably gonna suffer and you're not gonna have 1783 01:38:56.279 --> 01:38:56.960 a happy life. 1784 01:38:57.000 --> 01:39:01.039 So reasonableness is definite and lead key here. 1785 01:39:01.239 --> 01:39:03.439 But the thing all throughout there, Brian is so having 1786 01:39:03.479 --> 01:39:06.079 done this for close to thirty years now, the hardest 1787 01:39:06.159 --> 01:39:08.159 hump for people who do this, who do just what 1788 01:39:08.239 --> 01:39:10.880 we describe save responsibly, don't make a mess of your credit, 1789 01:39:10.880 --> 01:39:13.279 don't panic when the market wobbles. Do those three things 1790 01:39:13.279 --> 01:39:16.359 for thirty years, and you will have the fantastic problem 1791 01:39:16.760 --> 01:39:20.319 of not being willing to spend your own savings. Brian 1792 01:39:20.399 --> 01:39:23.600 Most of what I do is convincing people that it's 1793 01:39:23.720 --> 01:39:26.760 okay to take advantage of the resources they have built 1794 01:39:26.760 --> 01:39:29.960 for themselves. Because people get this idea, they get panicky 1795 01:39:29.960 --> 01:39:32.239 at retirement. They may have a couple million dollars put 1796 01:39:32.279 --> 01:39:34.920 away in their four to one case. They convince themselves 1797 01:39:34.960 --> 01:39:38.520 that their their expenses must must fit inside of their 1798 01:39:38.520 --> 01:39:42.119 Social Security checks. They completely ignore that sum of money 1799 01:39:42.159 --> 01:39:45.119 out there. You know, a half million dollars can generate 1800 01:39:45.520 --> 01:39:48.520 thirty forty thousand dollars worth of distributions a year that 1801 01:39:48.560 --> 01:39:50.760 can be used to pay bills. Two million dollars can 1802 01:39:50.800 --> 01:39:53.760 generate close to one hundred thousand, so all of it helps. 1803 01:39:53.800 --> 01:39:56.640 You are building a resource that you have never tapped into, 1804 01:39:56.880 --> 01:39:59.159 and it's hard to get people to shift years. It's 1805 01:39:59.199 --> 01:40:01.159 the most fun part of my job, honestly, hard to 1806 01:40:01.159 --> 01:40:03.960 get people to shift gears to being able to tap 1807 01:40:04.000 --> 01:40:06.439 into those resources and take advantage of them. You built 1808 01:40:06.439 --> 01:40:08.399 it for you, so take advantage of it because your 1809 01:40:08.439 --> 01:40:09.319 kids certainly will. 1810 01:40:09.600 --> 01:40:11.680 There you go, yeah, it's it's the money you put 1811 01:40:11.680 --> 01:40:14.199 away for yourself. I mean, I didn't spend my life 1812 01:40:14.199 --> 01:40:17.760 putting money into a four to one K program to 1813 01:40:17.840 --> 01:40:20.920 leave it to my children do their own. Damn four 1814 01:40:20.960 --> 01:40:23.880 o one k planning pause for we'll bring Brian back 1815 01:40:23.880 --> 01:40:25.720 at a couple more topics talk about before we get 1816 01:40:25.720 --> 01:40:29.079 to melk loan and loaning them out for us. All right, 1817 01:40:29.119 --> 01:40:30.920 pivoting over, do you want to talk about taking money 1818 01:40:30.920 --> 01:40:33.680 out of four oh one k or presidential elections and 1819 01:40:33.720 --> 01:40:37.039 their impact on the stock market? Brian? Yeah, Let's let's 1820 01:40:37.359 --> 01:40:41.520 tap into this four oh one k thing here. So, 1821 01:40:41.279 --> 01:40:41.760 uh So. 1822 01:40:41.680 --> 01:40:44.680 Four one K loans are commonly known as a people 1823 01:40:44.680 --> 01:40:46.880 treat them as as kind of a resource. It is 1824 01:40:46.960 --> 01:40:49.960 possible to borrow money against your four oh one k, 1825 01:40:50.279 --> 01:40:52.840 and and there there are there are reasons to do it. 1826 01:40:52.840 --> 01:40:54.920 There are, to my mind, there are more reasons not to. 1827 01:40:54.960 --> 01:40:56.479 So let's hit some of the key points here. Sure, 1828 01:40:57.039 --> 01:41:00.359 so Secure Act two point zero is where this came from. Right, so, 1829 01:41:00.359 --> 01:41:03.760 there's an update to this. You can take penalty free 1830 01:41:03.840 --> 01:41:06.560 withdrawals up to one thousand dollars for emergencies. 1831 01:41:06.600 --> 01:41:06.760 Right. 1832 01:41:06.760 --> 01:41:09.279 This is not actually alone, it's just plain a withdrawal. 1833 01:41:09.279 --> 01:41:11.439 You can do it once per year, and if it's 1834 01:41:11.520 --> 01:41:15.000 repaid within three years, then you avoid taxes and penalties. 1835 01:41:15.520 --> 01:41:17.159 It can be a better You know, there are better 1836 01:41:17.199 --> 01:41:20.640 options out there, though, because the thing that scares me 1837 01:41:20.640 --> 01:41:22.479 the most about this, Brian, is when people rely on 1838 01:41:22.520 --> 01:41:24.359 their four O one K. I think, I think you 1839 01:41:24.439 --> 01:41:26.880 have to have a clear definition of what an emergency is. 1840 01:41:27.159 --> 01:41:30.479 An emergency is not when the ends just don't meet 1841 01:41:30.560 --> 01:41:32.960 for the month, right if you, because that's going to 1842 01:41:33.039 --> 01:41:35.760 happen more often than not. An emergency is truly there 1843 01:41:35.840 --> 01:41:38.000 is just no other way, absolutely no other way. Our 1844 01:41:38.039 --> 01:41:40.359 backs against the wall, and we have got to fix 1845 01:41:40.439 --> 01:41:43.359 this problem, you know, and the only alternative is this 1846 01:41:43.399 --> 01:41:45.840 pile of money that is otherwise untouchable. I think it's 1847 01:41:45.960 --> 01:41:49.000 really really, really really risky to take out that quote 1848 01:41:49.079 --> 01:41:52.680 unquote one time just to catch me up, you know, distribution, 1849 01:41:52.840 --> 01:41:55.520 because then it becomes an option in your mind. And 1850 01:41:55.520 --> 01:41:57.640 if you add up the amount of money that you'll 1851 01:41:57.680 --> 01:42:00.159 sacrifice by pulling those dollars out in twenty twenty, for 1852 01:42:00.399 --> 01:42:02.760 what could those dollars be worth in twenty forty four, 1853 01:42:03.039 --> 01:42:05.439 that is an enormous amount of money. So just because 1854 01:42:05.479 --> 01:42:08.079 the Secure Act two point zero has made it easier 1855 01:42:08.159 --> 01:42:10.159 does not mean it's become a good idea. 1856 01:42:10.479 --> 01:42:12.880 Didn't you used to have to understand the rules. I 1857 01:42:12.880 --> 01:42:14.600 don't recall ever having to take money out of the 1858 01:42:14.600 --> 01:42:16.680 four oh one k. But my understanding is that you did, 1859 01:42:16.720 --> 01:42:18.760 you had to pay it back with interest. 1860 01:42:19.359 --> 01:42:21.279 Correct, Yeah, And so a lot of people think, well, 1861 01:42:21.279 --> 01:42:24.199 that's my own money, and I'm paying it back with interest, 1862 01:42:24.640 --> 01:42:27.079 so therefore I'm just paying myself back. And that's kind 1863 01:42:27.079 --> 01:42:29.600 of true, except you're not getting a deduction right when 1864 01:42:29.600 --> 01:42:32.079 you when you pay those and you make those interest payments, 1865 01:42:32.119 --> 01:42:36.279 you're putting your you paid you know, you're not getting 1866 01:42:36.319 --> 01:42:39.359 the benefit of the tax deferral on those interest dollars. 1867 01:42:39.680 --> 01:42:42.760 Interest payments you're making that flow into your four oh 1868 01:42:42.760 --> 01:42:45.479 one k out of your checking account are not deductible. 1869 01:42:45.520 --> 01:42:48.079 It's not like a contribution. You're just paying that loan back. 1870 01:42:48.439 --> 01:42:51.079 The scariest thing, though, Brian, is people will pull out 1871 01:42:51.079 --> 01:42:53.079 because if you're going to do this, it's generally, you know, 1872 01:42:53.159 --> 01:42:55.439 a somewhat sizeable sum of money for whatever thing you 1873 01:42:55.520 --> 01:42:58.319 need to accomplish. And then what happens is life tends 1874 01:42:58.319 --> 01:43:01.079 to intervene. Your company lay you off, or you decide 1875 01:43:01.119 --> 01:43:03.319 you've got this dream job or something out there. When 1876 01:43:03.359 --> 01:43:07.479 you separate from service, Now that distribution, that loan that 1877 01:43:07.479 --> 01:43:10.000 you're going to pay off over time becomes taxable and 1878 01:43:10.039 --> 01:43:13.039 penalizable pretty darn quick. So you have to have a plan. B. 1879 01:43:13.119 --> 01:43:15.479 I've got a client dealing with this right now that 1880 01:43:16.199 --> 01:43:18.560 it took the dream job and kind of is getting 1881 01:43:18.720 --> 01:43:21.600 broadsided by the idea that that loan he took a 1882 01:43:21.640 --> 01:43:24.119 while ago is going to be tax and penalized. 1883 01:43:24.479 --> 01:43:28.079 All right, now, Is there a difference between a wroth 1884 01:43:28.159 --> 01:43:29.760 four oh one K and a regular four O one 1885 01:43:29.840 --> 01:43:31.840 K when it comes to pulling money out? 1886 01:43:31.960 --> 01:43:37.680 What given the circumstance, Yeah, that doesn't really factor as 1887 01:43:37.760 --> 01:43:39.680 much as what we were talking about. Yeah, there is 1888 01:43:39.720 --> 01:43:41.880 a difference in how all of that works. But the 1889 01:43:42.000 --> 01:43:44.800 end result is you are you're you're exposing yourself to 1890 01:43:44.840 --> 01:43:47.640 the risk of not having things go the way you planned, 1891 01:43:47.800 --> 01:43:50.680 meaning you don't have the time to pay that loan off. 1892 01:43:50.720 --> 01:43:52.279 So even though they've made it easier, is not the 1893 01:43:52.319 --> 01:43:55.760 best idea. But the really big, the scary thing hiding 1894 01:43:55.800 --> 01:43:58.479 in the shadows is how much money you've sacrificed over 1895 01:43:58.600 --> 01:44:01.760 time by pulling the those dollars out, preventing them from growing. 1896 01:44:01.960 --> 01:44:04.760 And again, the super scary thing is that that that 1897 01:44:04.880 --> 01:44:08.159 becomes a sort of an acceptable alternative when everythings get tight, 1898 01:44:08.199 --> 01:44:09.560 we'll just hit the four oh one k again. 1899 01:44:09.680 --> 01:44:13.359 Yeah, and you cannot understate the loss of the time 1900 01:44:13.439 --> 01:44:15.800 value of money invested in the market. That's important. What 1901 01:44:15.880 --> 01:44:18.760 is it on average? Your money doubles every what eight 1902 01:44:18.840 --> 01:44:19.880 years or something like that. 1903 01:44:19.920 --> 01:44:21.920 There's a yeah, dependent if you're going to invest in 1904 01:44:21.920 --> 01:44:24.319 the stock market, stocks should have. Stocks play a role 1905 01:44:24.359 --> 01:44:27.000 for everybody, right what percentage of stocks, that's up to 1906 01:44:27.039 --> 01:44:27.760 the individual. 1907 01:44:28.039 --> 01:44:28.800 But I would. 1908 01:44:28.520 --> 01:44:32.199 Propose that even the lowliest widows and orphans need to 1909 01:44:32.199 --> 01:44:34.239 have a certain percentage in the stock market because nothing 1910 01:44:34.239 --> 01:44:36.039 else is going to grow. If you have it one 1911 01:44:36.119 --> 01:44:38.000 hundred percent in the stock market, you can count on 1912 01:44:38.039 --> 01:44:41.199 that doubling every eight or nine years or so, based 1913 01:44:41.199 --> 01:44:42.520 on about something. 1914 01:44:42.199 --> 01:44:44.399 Called the rule of seventy two. Yeah, you can google 1915 01:44:44.399 --> 01:44:45.680 that and figure out how the math works. 1916 01:44:45.720 --> 01:44:48.279 But the overall average on the stock market is somewhere 1917 01:44:48.279 --> 01:44:50.199 in the nine to ten percent range. That means some 1918 01:44:50.319 --> 01:44:52.840 years we're up twenty, some years we're down fifteen. There's 1919 01:44:52.880 --> 01:44:54.079 your ten percent average. 1920 01:44:54.399 --> 01:44:56.359 Fair enough, Brian James, We've got one more with them. 1921 01:44:56.399 --> 01:44:59.239 Does the presidential election impact the stock market and your 1922 01:44:59.279 --> 01:45:02.199 investment should be shuffling things around in anticipation in the 1923 01:45:02.199 --> 01:45:05.479 first week in November, or with Brian James Malworth hang 1924 01:45:05.520 --> 01:45:07.640 on a second on one uh here quick weather for 1925 01:45:07.720 --> 01:45:09.479 you got three days of sun in a row.

Happy to be. 1952 01:46:30.399 --> 01:46:32.520 Here, I'm glad you are, Melkay. I appreciate what you're 1953 01:46:32.520 --> 01:46:35.800 doing every day. And let's dive into this. I mean, 1954 01:46:35.800 --> 01:46:38.880 it's justn't a common theme anymore. I had a book 1955 01:46:38.920 --> 01:46:41.359 author on a couple of them last week, and the 1956 01:46:41.439 --> 01:46:46.199 erosions of our freedoms and our liberties, the almost willing 1957 01:46:46.479 --> 01:46:48.399 giving up. It was almost when we look at COVID, 1958 01:46:48.439 --> 01:46:52.600 we willingly gave up all of our constitutionally guaranteed God 1959 01:46:52.640 --> 01:46:56.199 given right, freedom of assembly, freedom of worship and religion, 1960 01:46:56.319 --> 01:46:58.520 all that thrown out the window in the name of COVID. 1961 01:46:59.000 --> 01:47:02.119 But we were so we capitulated, we allowed ourselves to 1962 01:47:03.880 --> 01:47:07.960 be ruled by lawlessness. It's a theme going on these days. 1963 01:47:07.720 --> 01:47:11.039 Mel Yeah, it is. I mean it's very sad because 1964 01:47:11.079 --> 01:47:14.720 the youth fear and panic and the media to really 1965 01:47:15.439 --> 01:47:18.560 rile us up to a point that it's endless chaos 1966 01:47:18.600 --> 01:47:21.439 and conflict. And you got the news and the social media, 1967 01:47:21.800 --> 01:47:24.680 and at this point, the American people have been completely 1968 01:47:24.760 --> 01:47:29.199 left out of all decisions being made. We aren't even 1969 01:47:29.319 --> 01:47:32.119 a part of the mix going on right now in DC. 1970 01:47:32.520 --> 01:47:35.239 And you know, people just have to start to take 1971 01:47:35.319 --> 01:47:38.760 back their own power locally, get involved and realize that 1972 01:47:38.840 --> 01:47:42.479 this country is their responsibility. That's why I say it's 1973 01:47:42.600 --> 01:47:46.039 our responsibility to get out there and take the country back. 1974 01:47:46.119 --> 01:47:48.840 I mean, most people never even read the Constitution, the 1975 01:47:48.840 --> 01:47:51.880 Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence. If you just 1976 01:47:51.920 --> 01:47:54.399 go and take the time, you'll realize we're pretty much 1977 01:47:54.439 --> 01:47:57.239 at the twenty seven grievances point of the Declaration of 1978 01:47:57.279 --> 01:48:00.560 Independence at this time, and it's up to people to 1979 01:48:00.640 --> 01:48:02.720 take back this country, just like it was up to 1980 01:48:02.760 --> 01:48:06.680 them just to fight the revolution, because you know, we 1981 01:48:06.960 --> 01:48:09.840 the people need to It's supposed to be by the 1982 01:48:09.880 --> 01:48:12.840 people for the people. But if the people aren't involved. 1983 01:48:13.039 --> 01:48:15.319 It's not going to be that, and it's getting farther 1984 01:48:15.359 --> 01:48:16.199 and farther away. 1985 01:48:16.880 --> 01:48:18.800 Well, it's like that song, freedom of choice is what 1986 01:48:18.840 --> 01:48:21.039 you've got, freedom from choice is what you want. That 1987 01:48:21.079 --> 01:48:22.800 seems to be the the no. I don't want to 1988 01:48:22.800 --> 01:48:24.800 deal with it. Let somebody else make the decisions for me. 1989 01:48:24.880 --> 01:48:27.439 I'll be okay, which is not true. One of the problems. 1990 01:48:27.439 --> 01:48:30.279 And I key, I've pointed this out for years and years. Now, okay, 1991 01:48:30.760 --> 01:48:33.239 how to break what is this? This division? If there 1992 01:48:33.359 --> 01:48:35.760 is something that we can be divided on. It used 1993 01:48:35.760 --> 01:48:37.199 to be a period of time during our history it 1994 01:48:37.319 --> 01:48:39.439 was a party division. You're in favor of this, and 1995 01:48:39.479 --> 01:48:41.399 I'm in favor of that, and you could have our 1996 01:48:41.479 --> 01:48:45.880 intellectual arguments over what's good principle, what's good policies. Now 1997 01:48:46.000 --> 01:48:50.000 it's a global stirring the pot of division. Because of 1998 01:48:50.079 --> 01:48:53.680 social media. You can't agree on anything, pick a cause 1999 01:48:53.800 --> 01:48:55.800 somebody's out there stirring to the pot of division, which 2000 01:48:55.840 --> 01:48:58.720 means the American flag is no longer this great symbol 2001 01:48:58.840 --> 01:49:02.239 of freedom, where you Melka can pursue the interest in 2002 01:49:02.319 --> 01:49:05.000 your world and I can pursue my interest free to 2003 01:49:05.039 --> 01:49:08.920 do so. Now it's everything. You're evil, you're bad because 2004 01:49:09.079 --> 01:49:09.720 fill in the black. 2005 01:49:11.079 --> 01:49:14.640 Yeah, exactly. But this is by design, because we are 2006 01:49:14.760 --> 01:49:17.319 fighting a bigger battle. A lot of people don't realize. 2007 01:49:17.359 --> 01:49:20.920 I think probably there is a global public private partnership 2008 01:49:20.960 --> 01:49:24.520 that consider themselves stakeholders over not just our country, but 2009 01:49:24.600 --> 01:49:28.359 frankly the world, and they have plans agenda twenty thirty. 2010 01:49:28.359 --> 01:49:31.880 Obama signed us on in twenty fifteen that Biden Harris 2011 01:49:31.960 --> 01:49:35.479 have a commitment to it, and the American people didn't 2012 01:49:35.520 --> 01:49:38.439 consent to that. So right now we're actually, you know, 2013 01:49:38.479 --> 01:49:41.520 the choice in this election isn't about right and left 2014 01:49:41.560 --> 01:49:43.680 at all. They don't even exist at this point. It 2015 01:49:43.760 --> 01:49:46.640 is truly about are we going forward as the sovereign 2016 01:49:46.720 --> 01:49:50.159 nation of America and going to reinvest in our country, 2017 01:49:50.239 --> 01:49:53.920 protect our borders, protect our nation, and take back a 2018 01:49:53.960 --> 01:49:57.119 lot of the money that's being wasted all around the 2019 01:49:57.119 --> 01:50:00.319 world trying to intervene in other countries. Or we're going 2020 01:50:00.359 --> 01:50:04.199 to become global citizens in a global world that has 2021 01:50:04.239 --> 01:50:07.159 a global agenda, which is what Kamala Harris and all 2022 01:50:07.199 --> 01:50:10.279 of them are invested in. It's a corporatetocracy to a 2023 01:50:10.319 --> 01:50:14.520 certain extent, and there's a parent company basically running our country, 2024 01:50:14.560 --> 01:50:16.960 and the lobbyists and the think tanks and all of 2025 01:50:17.000 --> 01:50:20.199 them keep us so far away from being for the people, 2026 01:50:20.239 --> 01:50:23.079 by the people that we the people have to start 2027 01:50:23.119 --> 01:50:27.920 locally and statewise getting the federal government in control and 2028 01:50:28.000 --> 01:50:29.399 out of our lives the way. 2029 01:50:29.239 --> 01:50:29.680 That it is. 2030 01:50:29.720 --> 01:50:31.840 It was never meant to be this overreaching. 2031 01:50:32.560 --> 01:50:36.079 And so your conclusion, Melka, author of American's Anonymous, is 2032 01:50:36.119 --> 01:50:39.159 it's not too late, and you offer thoughts and solutions 2033 01:50:39.199 --> 01:50:41.560 on how we get out of the direction we're going 2034 01:50:41.640 --> 01:50:44.279 and back to a nation of freedom and liberty under 2035 01:50:44.279 --> 01:50:44.720 the flag. 2036 01:50:45.800 --> 01:50:47.720 Yeah, it's up to us. We the people of the 2037 01:50:47.840 --> 01:50:51.239 United States, have gotten here because we took our eyes 2038 01:50:51.279 --> 01:50:53.920 off the ball. We were distracted. We allowed the conflict 2039 01:50:53.920 --> 01:50:56.720 and chaos coming from the media to divide us. It's 2040 01:50:56.760 --> 01:50:59.560 time for us to unite and stand for America, because 2041 01:50:59.560 --> 01:51:01.760 you know what, we're the last stand. Trump says, They're 2042 01:51:01.800 --> 01:51:03.800 not after me, they're after you. I'm in the way. 2043 01:51:04.000 --> 01:51:06.439 I'll tell you. They're not after America. They're after the world. 2044 01:51:06.439 --> 01:51:08.359 And America is in the way, and we better start 2045 01:51:08.399 --> 01:51:09.279 acting like it is. 2046 01:51:09.359 --> 01:51:09.720 My thing. 2047 01:51:10.119 --> 01:51:13.920 Amn Melky, host of The Melka Show.

Spread the news, 2052 01:51:23.119 --> 01:51:26.319 the information and the knowledge, because if we don't take 2053 01:51:26.359 --> 01:51:28.880 care of ourselves, it's going to be all over. Melka, 2054 01:51:29.000 --> 01:51:31.359 God bless you.

It is 2075 01:52:26.479 --> 01:52:30.880 suicide Awareness month, is it not? Yeah, absolutely, Brian. 2076 01:52:31.119 --> 01:52:34.399 The month of September is a month nationwide that the 2077 01:52:34.479 --> 01:52:38.239 VA focuses on suicide prevention, which it's every day, but 2078 01:52:38.520 --> 01:52:40.600 more focus on it during the month of September. 2079 01:52:40.720 --> 01:52:42.520 Well, last time I talked to this with the guest 2080 01:52:42.560 --> 01:52:45.359 on the Morning Show. Fortunately the numbers have ticked down 2081 01:52:45.359 --> 01:52:47.880 in terms of the numbers of veterans committing suicide on 2082 01:52:47.920 --> 01:52:50.960 a statistical basis, but it's still too damn high. And 2083 01:52:51.000 --> 01:52:53.000 that's why you're here to remind my veteran friends about 2084 01:52:53.039 --> 01:52:58.720 the VA Compact Act. Yeah, absolutely, Brian, the Compact Act. 2085 01:52:58.960 --> 01:53:02.359 We're almost run about a year now of that Act 2086 01:53:02.920 --> 01:53:07.399 being available for veterans to take advantage of crisis intermittent 2087 01:53:08.119 --> 01:53:12.279 care and any facility you know in the Tristate area, 2088 01:53:12.359 --> 01:53:15.920 any non VA facility. So traditionally back the way things 2089 01:53:16.000 --> 01:53:17.680 used to be. If you know, if you're in crisis, 2090 01:53:17.720 --> 01:53:20.439 the veteran was in crisis, needed help, mental health issues, 2091 01:53:20.880 --> 01:53:24.880 feeling suicidal, having you know, concerning thoughts, they had to 2092 01:53:24.920 --> 01:53:27.079 get to the VA. Well that's not the case anymore. 2093 01:53:27.439 --> 01:53:31.079 They can go to any facility, get the treatment, the 2094 01:53:31.319 --> 01:53:35.079 emergent treatment that they need to get stabilized and healthy 2095 01:53:35.119 --> 01:53:37.359 in the right direction in that facility will help the 2096 01:53:37.439 --> 01:53:38.720 VA connect the veteran. 2097 01:53:38.479 --> 01:53:39.560 With the right resources. 2098 01:53:39.800 --> 01:53:42.680 The key piece is, Brian, it's for all veterans, whether 2099 01:53:42.720 --> 01:53:46.560 you're enrolled, honorably discharged or other than honorable discharge. 2100 01:53:47.000 --> 01:53:49.560 That's great. And you know, I've read descriptions of folks 2101 01:53:49.640 --> 01:53:52.600 in suicidal crisis. Thankfully you've never been there, but it's this, 2102 01:53:52.800 --> 01:53:56.079 I mean, you're overwhelmed. I mean you cannot cope. And 2103 01:53:56.520 --> 01:53:59.720 the hospital or the locust the nearest medical providers the 2104 01:53:59.720 --> 01:54:01.479 place where you need to be. And so I'm happy 2105 01:54:01.479 --> 01:54:05.000 that this Compact Act has expanded the number of facilities 2106 01:54:05.039 --> 01:54:08.359 anybody in crisis can get to. And I know y'all also, 2107 01:54:08.920 --> 01:54:12.800 and let's remind folks also the Veterans Crisis Line nine 2108 01:54:12.880 --> 01:54:15.479 eight eight and when it picks up, press the number one, 2109 01:54:15.600 --> 01:54:18.760 and you are connected immediately with someone who can assist 2110 01:54:18.760 --> 01:54:20.920 of any veteran in crisis. Nine eight eight and then 2111 01:54:20.960 --> 01:54:24.279 hit one remind me of veteran friends about the Pacdact. 2112 01:54:25.600 --> 01:54:27.439 Well again, you know, the Packed Act is now two 2113 01:54:27.520 --> 01:54:30.119 years old, Brian, I can't believe that it. 2114 01:54:30.119 --> 01:54:30.840 It feels like. 2115 01:54:30.840 --> 01:54:33.319 It's been It feels like it us six months ago. 2116 01:54:33.439 --> 01:54:36.880 Yes, with the Packed Act to promise to address comprehensive toxics. 2117 01:54:37.319 --> 01:54:40.399 This has changed veterans lives.
