Speaker 1: By BO five.
Speaker 2: That the dot Gar scene, the Talks Station, Happy Monday, well.
Speaker 3: A vacation, Well, happy Monday, Brian Thomas right here, and
Speaker 3: good to see Sean McMahon. They're covering for Joe Strecker.
Speaker 3: I guess the Joe's last day of vacation and sure
Speaker 3: hope he had a nice time off, maybe relaxing, recharging
Speaker 3: his batteries and what more can you hope for with
Speaker 3: time off?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 3: Today great show lined up with the return. Actually, last
Speaker 3: Thursday was supposed to have Stephanie Peruccio with her book
Speaker 3: Sound the Alarm, the Mallie Disaster. It's about that little
Speaker 3: a fire and the suspicions and conspiracy theories and concerns
Speaker 3: springing from that. She had written a prior book on that,
Speaker 3: and this follow up book, Sound the Alarm, sort of
Speaker 3: fills in a lot of the details and answers a
Speaker 3: lot of the questions that previously were not known, or
Speaker 3: at least purports to anyway. But last Thursday, my understanding
Speaker 3: is that she was not on the phone. We tried
Speaker 3: to call hers because she had a family emergency, something
Speaker 3: involving her son with a medical issue. He's okay, but
Speaker 3: she was really anxious to get on the program and
Speaker 3: really apologetic. And today's today fingers crossed anyway, Sean, did
Speaker 3: you check the phones out this morning? Are we all
Speaker 3: hooked up right? Yay, there's a thumbs up. I'm glad
Speaker 3: to see that again. Apologies to the listeners were hoping
Speaker 3: to hear from Bill O'Reilly last week, as well as
Speaker 3: Warren Davidson. This was not their fault. Someone was tinkering
Speaker 3: with the phones when the studio is apped, not my studio,
Speaker 3: the production studio where Sean is sitting right now anyhow,
Speaker 3: So fingers crossed for Stephanie will give it another shit at.
Speaker 1: Seven oh five.
Speaker 3: Smitherman Christopher Smitheman joins a program every Monday at seven
Speaker 3: twenty four. We like to call the Smith Event, former
Speaker 3: Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati. I'm certain he'll
Speaker 3: be calling in. He really looks forward to it and
Speaker 3: I just love having Christopher on the program. Man of
Speaker 3: common sense, logic and reason.
Speaker 1: Money Money. With Brian James.
Speaker 3: We will have topics at some point, not quite sure
Speaker 3: what they are right now, looking forward to getting the
Speaker 3: list or we'll just fly by the seat of our
Speaker 3: pants when Brian gets on the program at eight oh five,
Speaker 3: So there you go tomorrow, of course, bright part Insights,
Speaker 3: goop of the Daniel Davis Deep Dive, and boy do
Speaker 3: we have every day more and more information coming out
Speaker 3: of the Middle East and Syria going through this tremendous turmoil.
Speaker 3: And I guess so many people are optimistic on one
Speaker 3: level because war has been raging there for thirteen plus years,
Speaker 3: and others are very very concerned that something like a
Speaker 3: you know, cherial law califate thing might come up. So
Speaker 3: as these citizens of Syria try to struggle and settle
Speaker 3: things through, always get a good information from Daniel Davis
Speaker 3: in his war analysis. So that's tomorrow and the fifty
Speaker 3: five Casey Morning Show. You can always feel free to
Speaker 3: call it love hearing from you five one, three, seven, four, nine,
Speaker 3: fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three Talk
Speaker 3: found five fifty on at and T Funds.
Speaker 1: Someone else I'll love to hear from and just bring
Speaker 1: it up.
Speaker 3: Jack Adaden joins the program on Wednesdays and offering his
Speaker 3: thoughtful analysis on a variety of topics. Thank you Jack
Speaker 3: and Ainsley Atherton for the wonderful Christmas party we enjoyed
Speaker 3: on Friday night, and thank you all too, to my
Speaker 3: friends Claire and Jeff Corkor and clairemont Conny Commissioner Claire Corkoran,
Speaker 3: and an unbelievably awesome husband and family, great Christmas party
Speaker 3: on Saturday night, already got another calendar for next year.
Speaker 3: So great fellowship, great conversation over the weekend. And you know,
Speaker 3: I didn't know where to start this morning. I never
Speaker 3: really quite do. We could talk drones, we could talk
Speaker 3: Luigi Mangioni and the insanity going on that, but I
Speaker 3: wanted to talk about the insanity of Joe Biden's pardons
Speaker 3: and clemency. And I saw this article by Chuck Ross
Speaker 3: and Jason Simonson over Free Beacon and my jaw, I
Speaker 3: mean my mouth fell open and all throughout reading the
Speaker 3: people that he has offered clemency and pardons to. I'm
Speaker 3: just asking myself, why does this serve the interest of
Speaker 3: justice at all? How is it that someone makes it
Speaker 3: to a list And this is like, I mean, fifteen
Speaker 3: hundred federal convictions that Joe Biden's granted clemency on the
Speaker 3: largest single day grant of clemency in modern history, And
Speaker 3: I wonder why, See, if you can answer the question
Speaker 3: when we run through the list of some of the
Speaker 3: people that you let go. Former judge who sent juveniles
Speaker 3: to prison in the Cash for Kids kickback scandal. Former
Speaker 3: city official in Illinois who orchestrated the largest municipal embezel
Speaker 3: in state history. A journalist who manufactured a fentanyl like
Speaker 3: drub drug dubbed the most potent in the United States
Speaker 3: car fentanyl. Get the details on that in a minute.
Speaker 3: Just a few of the nearly fifteen hundred federal convicts.
Speaker 3: President Joe Biden granted clemency you on last Thursday. White
Speaker 3: House framed the move as part of Biden's quote record
Speaker 3: of criminal justice reform to help reunite family, strengthen communities,
Speaker 3: reintegrate individuals back in the society.
Speaker 1: Close quote.
Speaker 3: Tout in clemency awarded to at least one decorated military veteran,
Speaker 3: probably a standout amid all the other scumbags who he
Speaker 3: gave let free, says Biden has in taste that was
Speaker 3: facing intense pressure to issue these mass clemencies. Why well,
Speaker 3: because he pardoned his son Hunter Biden. Well you understand
Speaker 3: the connection there. Gee must be good to be a
Speaker 3: Biden family member. Dad's president. I got freedom from literally
Speaker 3: everything I did for the past decade, in spite of
Speaker 3: the fact that I had already been convicted and I
Speaker 3: already pled guilty. So the Washington Free Beacon, that's where
Speaker 3: I've got this information, did reveal those who receive clemency.
Speaker 3: For example, Daniel Phillerup, sentenced to ten years in prison
Speaker 3: for selling fentanyl that killed an Albany woman, Shilander agerwaal
Speaker 3: and Alabama pill mill doctor, who the Department of Justice said,
Speaker 3: quote directly contributed to the opioid epidemic close quote Biden
Speaker 3: community seventeen and a half year prison sentence of former
Speaker 3: Luzerne County, Pennsylvania judge Michael Conahan, who took two point
Speaker 3: one million dollars in kickbacks from a for profit prison
Speaker 3: executive in exchange for sentending juveniles to those facilities. Hey, judge,
Speaker 3: send him over to my place. Here's some money. Rita Crunwell,
Speaker 3: former Dition, Illinois comptroll and treasurer, who embezzled more than
Speaker 3: fifty three million dollars from the city and what the
Speaker 3: Department of Justice described in their words as the largest
Speaker 3: theft of public funds in state history. She used the
Speaker 3: money to breed racing horses was sentenced more than nineteen
Speaker 3: years in prison. In twenty thirteen, Dixon City officials blasted
Speaker 3: Bruden's reprieve of this woman quote. This is a complete
Speaker 3: travesty of justice and a slap in the face to
Speaker 3: our entire community, said city manager Denny Langloss. That's an
Speaker 3: amazing exercise of control in terms of what he said,
Speaker 3: I probably would have been a little bit more a
Speaker 3: graphic in my response to that one. Wendy Hetchman sentenced
Speaker 3: fifteen years in prison for leading a drug ring the
Speaker 3: police blamed for a surgeon overdose deaths in Nova Omaha,
Speaker 3: Nebraskas in twenty seven team former journalist, this is the
Speaker 3: one I was talking about. The car fentyl. She and
Speaker 3: her husband manufactured and distributed car fentyl CDC calls that
Speaker 3: the most potent fedel analog detected in the United States.
Speaker 3: Omaha police tracked down the Henchman's after a spate of
Speaker 3: overdosed deaths from the drug. According to the Omaha Investigator,
Speaker 3: people were dying, people were overdosing, Families were being destroyed
Speaker 3: on a daily basis, and then it stopped. Why because
Speaker 3: they arrested him. Joseph Schryshevsky clemency for his role on
Speaker 3: a two hundred and fifty five million dollar real estate
Speaker 3: ponzi scheme that get a load of this that authority
Speaker 3: said was targeted at Orthodox Jews since just under twenty
Speaker 3: two years in prison back in twenty elevens that one
Speaker 3: of many financial criminals who Broughton gave clemency to. Paul
Speaker 3: Burr Works, sentenced to more than fourteen years in prison
Speaker 3: in twenty seventeen for operating a nine hundred million dollars
Speaker 3: internet ponzi's game.
Speaker 1: Three.
Speaker 3: Eric Bloom fourteen years in prison for defrauding his financial
Speaker 3: firm's clients at more than six hundred and sixty five
Speaker 3: million dollars. After his conviction in twenty fifteen, the Department
Speaker 3: of Justice, in a statement said the magnitude of Bloom's
Speaker 3: crimes is enormous and the impact on his victims devastating,
Speaker 3: with victims around the world suffering losses. Toyoti alkeshe sentence
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two to one hundred and twenty six
Speaker 3: months in prison for conspiring to commit credit card fraud,
Speaker 3: wire fraud, and aggravated identity theft and this game that
Speaker 3: targeted the mentally disabled. Biden granted clemency to one former
Speaker 3: healthcare executive. Oh wait a minute, I thought e he
Speaker 3: was celebrating Brian Thompson's being gunned down. I got more
Speaker 3: on that one later, which is just insanity. Healthcare executive
Speaker 3: sentenced to one hundred and fourteen months in prison for fraud,
Speaker 3: James Burkhardt, who also laundered money from his firm, will
Speaker 3: not have to serve the remainder of his sentence thanks
Speaker 3: to Yes, Joe Biden. Jacqueline Mills planning clemency twenty seventeen
Speaker 3: sentence to twelve and a half years in prison for
Speaker 3: stealing nearly four million dollars from a USDA program to
Speaker 3: feed poor children in eastern Arkansas. Prosecutors called that one
Speaker 3: of the most egregious examples of fraud they had prosecuted out.
Speaker 3: Mira Sakadeva, a Mississippi doctor sentenced to twenty years in
Speaker 3: prison back in twenty twelve for defrauding Medicare by providing
Speaker 3: and this one hits on personally for me, folks deluded
Speaker 3: chemotherapy drugs and old needles to cancer patient.
Speaker 1: One patient.
Speaker 3: She has served at the clinic admitted to have having
Speaker 3: contracted HIV because of the old needles she was using.
Speaker 3: Biden also granted clemency to a guy named William Boylem,
Speaker 3: the former Democratic New York State as sembleman, who was
Speaker 3: sentenced to fourteen years in prison for bribery, extortion, fraud, conspiracy,
Speaker 3: and theft charges back in twenty fifteen. Oh and apparently
Speaker 3: last Thursday, with the announcement of these this record number,
Speaker 3: they said there's more to come before Biden steps out
Speaker 3: office next month. Quote. Gee, look at that. Somebody wrote
Speaker 3: in very large capital letters, WTF question mark exclamation board. Oh,
Speaker 3: that's right, that was me. President Biden will continue to
Speaker 3: review clemency petitions and deliver criminal justice reform in a
Speaker 3: manner that advances equity and justice, promotes public safety, supports
Speaker 3: rehabilitation and re entry, and provides meaningful second chances. Yeah
Speaker 3: to the doctor who gave water down chemo drugs and
Speaker 3: dirty needles to patients, people who stole money from mentally
Speaker 3: cognitively deficient individuals, on and on and on.
Speaker 1: You know, this list just scratched the surface.
Speaker 3: Probably, and I'll give credit to the free beacon, probably
Speaker 3: pulled out some of the more egregious examples. But you
Speaker 3: tell me, how does anyone on the list that I
Speaker 3: just read to you deserve clemency? How did they end
Speaker 3: up getting released or freed or otherwise exonerated with all
Speaker 3: the other tens of thousands of people in prison? How
Speaker 3: do you make the list? Who do you have to service?
Speaker 3: If you know what I mean? Five seventeen the talks
Speaker 3: that you'd love to hear from. You've got a comment
Speaker 3: on that. Five one three seven fifty eight two three

Speaker 1: And what else. I yeah, it's funny because I went back.
Speaker 3: I rarely, rarely, I mean really rarely ever go back
Speaker 3: and listen to an interview. But I was up late
Speaker 3: on Saturday night just I don't know if I've had
Speaker 3: too much coffee or something like that, and went back
Speaker 3: and listened to the interview of World War two veteran
Speaker 3: Frank Wedder whow Andrew Papist brought in the studio. Boy,
Speaker 3: what you know what? I just thought about that, And
Speaker 3: you know, you have to her up and down days.
Speaker 3: You have good days, you have your bad days. But
Speaker 3: I thought about the idea that I was talking with
Speaker 3: that man. He was coming up on his ninety eighth
Speaker 3: and of our birthday at the time, and what a
Speaker 3: cool guy, and what great stories he had, not about
Speaker 3: the war, so much about his childhood growing up and
Speaker 3: the independence that he enjoyed and the freedom and came
Speaker 3: from a family of fifteen kids. He may recall when
Speaker 3: I talked to him, He's the guy that came home
Speaker 3: one day with his sister from school. His parents had
Speaker 3: packed up and moved. He didn't even tell him they
Speaker 3: were moving. He just came home to an empty house.
Speaker 3: He had a couple of very wonderful, influential adults in
Speaker 3: his life. I think one was a minister and there
Speaker 3: was one other guy that really shaped his being. But
Speaker 3: he gave so much credit to who he was was
Speaker 3: and how he became so successful and looked up to
Speaker 3: by his fellow World War Two service members that he
Speaker 3: became like a father figure for them when he was
Speaker 3: only eighteen years old. So but I was just listening
Speaker 3: to that going, man, you know what, I'm lucky to
Speaker 3: have been able to be part of that conversation. So
Speaker 3: there's all kinds of content like that over there at
Speaker 3: fifty five case dot com. And just to follow up
Speaker 3: in a story I read last week or mentioned last week,
Speaker 3: the DC restaurant tours, the various employees of the restaurants
Speaker 3: in Washington, d C. Talking about how they're not going
Speaker 3: to serve the Trump administration folks, talking about holding up service,
Speaker 3: maybe making the slow slow walking service. Not one of
Speaker 3: them said that they would, you know, soil the food
Speaker 3: as it were. But you know, if they're saying out
Speaker 3: loud that they're going to do everything they can to
Speaker 3: stand in the way of serving members of the Republican
Speaker 3: Party and the Trump administration. I would be a little
Speaker 3: reluctant to actually go and eat out, soaping ask some
Speaker 3: of the congress people, do you eat out when you
Speaker 3: go to Washington, DC? When everybody knows you're a Republican? Anyway,
Speaker 3: I got a kick out of this one. As a
Speaker 3: follow up article, bartender Joseph, apparently he's worked at a
Speaker 3: bunch of DC's top restaurants and bars, was a Kamala
Speaker 3: Harris supporter. Isn't real happy about the upcoming administration, he says,
Speaker 3: but from a bartending perspective, he sees it as good news.
Speaker 3: In his experience, Republicans tip more and are generally lower
Speaker 3: maintenance guests than Democrats.
Speaker 1: Quote.
Speaker 3: I think my tip average from Republicans at least ones
Speaker 3: that I owe or co workers have recognized is close
Speaker 3: to thirty percent. With Dems, I'm surprised if it's over twenty.
Speaker 3: At events he's worked at our hosts by Republicans, the
Speaker 3: guest asks for no fuss drinks like bourbon and Vodkasota's
Speaker 3: are wine. At Democratic events, He's send many more situations
Speaker 3: for special requests. He said, you know what, there are
Speaker 3: better ways to voice your political concerns that won't jeopardize
Speaker 3: your job, and some have been fired. There was a
Speaker 3: couple of other updates along the same lines about employees
Speaker 3: outspoken refusal to serve Republicans lost their situation. He just
Speaker 3: pointed out the obvious. It's impossible to avoid dirty money,
Speaker 3: at least as you subjectively perceive it. Five to twenty
Speaker 3: five year fifty five kre Steve Talk Station Local stories

Speaker 3: have ranged in sizes and configurations. Our team continues to
Speaker 3: monitor the local airspace and we're working with local authorities
Speaker 3: to ensure the safety of our personnel, facilities and assets.
Speaker 3: When he was asked how often this happens, the right
Speaker 3: Patterson is that first time I'm aware of great so
Speaker 3: New Jersey does not have a lock on drone sightings.
Speaker 3: Teenager stable condition after a shooting in Roselawn happened Saturday night.
Speaker 3: According to the Cincinni Police officers who were called to

Speaker 3: sixteen year old male suffering from a gunshot wound. Person
Speaker 3: taken to the hospital. Police had not stated if they
Speaker 3: have a suspect. The shooting's still under investigation. I guess
Speaker 3: not identified because of the minor status. Ah Man Dad
Speaker 3: this after a medical emergency while driving in Carthage Sunday morning.
Speaker 3: Sinceni Police officers called around seventy m to one o
Speaker 3: eight West sixty ninth Street for the port of a
Speaker 3: report of a fatal injury crash. A sixty eight year
Speaker 3: old man was driving a twenty eleven Volkswagen Route On
Speaker 3: on the road when he experienced a medical crisis and
Speaker 3: hit two park cars. Officers say the driver's taking the
Speaker 3: East Medical Center where he's succumbed to his industries. Our industry, okay,
Speaker 3: it's ourly forgive me. Injuries is the word you were
Speaker 3: looking for? Brian Excessive speeding impairment not believed to be
Speaker 3: factors in the crash. Witnesses the crash asked to context
Speaker 3: since they plice department traffic in it five one, three, three,
Speaker 3: five two twenty five fourteen Mount Adams stabbing suspect Michael
Speaker 3: Bolan has been transferred to authorities in Hamilton County on Saturday.
Speaker 3: According with listening in Hamilon County Sheriff's Office online jailed database,
Speaker 3: they had a mugshot of Bowling there on the site.
Speaker 3: Thirty one year old Bowlin I've been sought by authorities
Speaker 3: in Cincinnati for us stabbing for stabbing a construction worker
Speaker 3: in Mount Adams. Bowland, according to the listing, was admitted
Speaker 3: to the jail Saturday at almost four pm. He's been
Speaker 3: wanted by Cincinnati police ever since the attack on the
Speaker 3: instruction worker November twenty ninth, and Mount Adams had left
Speaker 3: the victim critically injured, says WLWT, who was reporting on this,
Speaker 3: later uncovered that Bolan was arrested the very next day
Speaker 3: after the attack for criminal trespassing in Madison County, Kentucky,
Speaker 3: though he had not yet been named as a suspect
Speaker 3: in the stabbing case. After being released on bail in
Speaker 3: Madison County, Bowlan fled to Logan County, Ohioway, who's found
Speaker 3: by a police to be hiding out at a home

Speaker 3: well Appeer Court for his arraignment today nine am. If
Speaker 3: you're not doing anything charged with attempted murder in Floridian's assault.
Speaker 1: See here.
Speaker 3: I hate reading about Frishes shutting down, but Hamilton County
Speaker 3: Magistrate this is from a couple of is. On Friday
Speaker 3: granted Ritz of eviction and five more Frishes restaurants, including
Speaker 3: the beloved Mainliner location in Fairfax, as well as two
Speaker 3: locations that were already closed. Attorney for the company requested
Speaker 3: more time to vacate the stores, saying it's already struggling
Speaker 3: to shut down eleven other evicted restaurant restaurants during the holidays.
Speaker 3: Attorneys for Frish's landlord that's NNN ret LP, asked for
Speaker 3: a standard seven day rid of eviction instead of the
Speaker 3: ten day writ saying they've had plenty of time to
Speaker 3: get out at least that's a quote from their attorney,
Speaker 3: Anthony Hornback. Mainliner in Fairfax announced in early December that
Speaker 3: was facing the eviction notices the mid diviction hearing. Several
Speaker 3: vendors have also filed lawsuits against Frish's Shriver Foods, New
Speaker 3: Jersey claims restaurant owner owes them eighteen thousand, five hundred
Speaker 3: and forty seven dollars in unpaid invoices. Jeffrey's Coffee and
Speaker 3: Tea from Florida claims Fish's owes them thirty thousand plus
Speaker 3: dollars with interest. Apparently of these financial troubles showed up
Speaker 3: in October, and property owners claimed the chain was four
Speaker 3: and a half million dollars behind in rent.
Speaker 1: What a shame.
Speaker 3: I have lots of fond memories from Frishes from a child.
Speaker 3: It used to be the only fast food place I'd
Speaker 3: ever even get a craving for sometime. Over time, the
Speaker 3: quality just kind of fell off the map. And enjoy
Speaker 3: your own conclusions whether that had anything to do with
Speaker 3: them shutting down five point thirty five right now for
Speaker 3: your five KRCIT detalk station. We'll have plenty more to
Speaker 3: talk about. Stack is Stupid coming up? Stick around. I'll
Speaker 3: be right back after these brief words. Five forty Happy Monday,
Speaker 3: doothcaro sea dot com podcast, Get your ire media app
Speaker 3: call me up. Five point three seven four nine fifty
Speaker 3: five hundred eight hundred and eight two to three Talk
Speaker 3: five five fifty if you have an AT and T phone.
Speaker 3: Otherwise it's a stack a stupid time, and we go
Speaker 3: to uh, Colorado. Did you, Sean, did you realize the
Speaker 3: word Ohio has a negative connotation? Well you're going to
Speaker 3: find out, as I did when I read this article.
Speaker 3: This is crazy. They say, actually it's an Iowa social
Speaker 3: studies teacher. I apologize. There was another reference to Colorado
Speaker 3: and Iowa's social studies teacher banned the use of a
Speaker 3: whole bunch of different words, and last Tuesday, a nonprofit
Speaker 3: foundation for Individual Rights and Expression wrote to officials at
Speaker 3: the Fremont Mills Community Schools District warning that a seventh
Speaker 3: grade social studies teacher alleged speech ban is unconstitutional.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: Aaron tier Terror, director of public advocacy at this civil
Speaker 3: liberties group, said, you know, everyone agrees the teachers have
Speaker 3: a duty to prevent classroom disruption, but a blanket ban
Speaker 3: on specific words and topics, regardless of the context, my
Speaker 3: emphasis goes too far. List of band words, photograph, on
Speaker 3: the on the on the reporting more than a dozen
Speaker 3: of them. Individual words. Are you ready? Ohio is on
Speaker 3: the list? They say it can mean weird, cringe or
Speaker 3: dumb among generation Alpha circles. We have a new generation Alpha.
Speaker 3: Is that is that the new crew?
Speaker 1: Is that what we're calling them?
Speaker 3: Evidently riz rizz which is short for charisma?
Speaker 1: Now, what's wrong with that?
Speaker 3: Scumitti, which they say refers to a series of videos
Speaker 3: featuring animated talking heads that emerge from toilets. Okay, we're
Speaker 3: all learning stuff today, aren't we? Didy party, baby oil,
Speaker 3: brain rot and rage quitting. Also a blanket ban on meowing, barking,
Speaker 3: cursed words, racist comments, LGBTQ plus and fat jokes and
Speaker 3: references to drugs, Nazis or the Holocaust. Just a social
Speaker 3: studies teacher, you think you might bring up the Holocausts
Speaker 3: in the historical context. You might want to talk about
Speaker 3: that and the travesties that were brought about by the
Speaker 3: Nazi party.
Speaker 6: That does not make it, thank you.
Speaker 3: Oh look, the word nazis on there too, so you
Speaker 3: can't even talk about World War Two. School administrator speaking
Speaker 3: with Fox News Digital who reached out to them in
Speaker 3: an email statement, said that, well, the students help craft
Speaker 3: the list as an important lesson of civic responsibility, promoting
Speaker 3: empathy and awareness of how language affects others. They added
Speaker 3: that the chart has not been displayed since the first quarter.
Speaker 3: It was taken down because, as they realized it was
Speaker 3: blanking stupid. Our goal is not to censor or stifle
Speaker 3: student speech, but to guide students toward language that fosters
Speaker 3: a positive and inclusive learning environment. School added at any
Speaker 3: of these words listed punishable by a thirty minute detention,
Speaker 3: including a note to the bottom of a poster. Parent
Speaker 3: told that organization at least ten students were disciplined. The
Speaker 3: school administrators said consequences are not based solely upon using
Speaker 3: particular words unless they are considered vulgar, leude, threatening a
Speaker 3: substantial disruption of the school's environment, or bullying toward another student.
Speaker 3: I suppose it allows you to talk about the Nazis
Speaker 3: and the Holocaust in a historical context, but that just
Speaker 3: means some teacher or administrator or some higher authority is
Speaker 3: going to determine whether the context is appropriate and meet
Speaker 3: out a punishment.
Speaker 1: Hmm, this is insane.
Speaker 7: What are you, stupid?
Speaker 3: Diddy party diddler, oiled baby oil scubiti, which apparently also
Speaker 3: says toilet ohio alpha beta omega sigma. Well, you can't
Speaker 3: talk about the Greek alphabet, brain rot, womp, womp, don't
Speaker 3: even know what that means. Don't want to chat? C
Speaker 3: chat is a word that's on the list. Bark, barking, meow, meowing,
Speaker 3: curse words, rage, quitting, of course, racist comments. Generally speaking,
Speaker 3: the word pimp is on the list. Anybody engaged in
Speaker 3: encouraging suicide. That's band, LGBTQ plus jokes, fat jokes, drug references,
Speaker 3: and again Nazi or Holocaust references. Five fifty five KRSTY
Speaker 3: Talks Station. Hence the top of the stack is stupid.
Speaker 3: Every federal cribout fifty fifty five KCD talk station. Very
Speaker 3: happy Monday to you, and go over to the phones

Speaker 3: we get back to the stack of stupid. I got
Speaker 3: Kyle on the line, Kyle, Happy Monday, thanks for calling
Speaker 3: this morning.
Speaker 8: Happy Monday to you.
Speaker 9: Brian, Hey, you know, as a born in bred Kentucky
Speaker 9: and I've listened to negative connotations about Kentucky for years,
Speaker 9: and at first it was refreshing to hear that's at
Speaker 9: least somebody else.
Speaker 10: Was kind of getting the kind of getting the brun
Speaker 10: of things.
Speaker 11: But I don't know.
Speaker 10: Now it's kind of it's kind of enraged me a
Speaker 10: little bit, so that you know that that corn grown
Speaker 10: idiot out there, better watch it. He's calling name, That's
Speaker 10: all I got to say. Or watch you watch what
Speaker 10: he's banning, because uh, you know, you start trashing Indiana,
Speaker 10: the trifect that may rise up and go out west
Speaker 10: and and do some butt kicking.
Speaker 3: I like it, Kyle, appreciate you sticking up for the commonwealth,
Speaker 3: and as well you should. You know, poor people of
Speaker 3: West Virginia, nobody sticks over for them. But you know,
Speaker 3: I didn't realize the word Ohio was had negative connotations
Speaker 3: associated with it. Although you know what, there's a whole
Speaker 3: of things in the world I do not know, and
Speaker 3: I'll be the first person to admit it. Thanks brother,
Speaker 3: have a great day. Back over to the stack of sto.
Speaker 3: But I thought this was particularly comical. We'll get a
Speaker 3: wheat Ridge, Colorado, where a man was caught on police
Speaker 3: body camera after being arrested for causing a multi vehicle crash.
Speaker 3: Court to police and wheat Ridge, Colorado officers showed up
Speaker 3: with the scene December fourth, crash asked the driver how
Speaker 3: many drinks he had? His reply probably ten, followed by hey, hey,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you right now, like I'm a professional drinker.
Speaker 3: Police officers said, oh, okay, all right, I got you,
Speaker 3: and then put the man in handcuffs.
Speaker 1: Please say.
Speaker 3: A breathalyzer analysis showed that he had a blood alcohol
Speaker 3: content of drum Roll Maestro zero point three two six,
Speaker 3: which is beyond four times over the legal women. Thankfully,
Speaker 3: nobody was injured in the crash and the driver's name
Speaker 3: was not released. It's okay, he's a professional drinker. Speaking
Speaker 3: of drinking and drunking antics, no sense can be made
Speaker 3: of this one. But a sixteen year old New Mexico
Speaker 3: boy arrested Saturday morning after he allegedly gunned down his
Speaker 3: parents and teenage siblings and then called nine to one
Speaker 3: one to drunken State to confess the quadruple homicide. Diego
Speaker 3: Leiva facing first degree murder charges in the slaughter that
Speaker 3: happened around three point thirty am before the Valencia County
Speaker 3: Sheriff's office got a phone call from the murders suspect
Speaker 3: courting to New Mexico State Police. In a news release,
Speaker 3: the teen allegedly said he killed his family over the
Speaker 3: phone to a dispatcher and then walked out with his
Speaker 3: hands in the air when the deputies showed up. State
Speaker 3: police say Lava was extremely intoxic hid when we was
Speaker 3: taken into custody. Handgun found on the kitchen table. Suspects
Speaker 3: forty to ye old father Leoni to Leave, a thirty
Speaker 3: five year old mom, Adriana Bencomo, sixteen year old sister Adrian,
Speaker 3: and fourteen year old brother Alexander, all found dead with
Speaker 3: gunshot ones inside the home. Keller taken nearby hospital for detox,
Speaker 3: then booked in the juvenile center in Albuquerque on Sunday morning.
Speaker 3: Former teachers in disbelief that the teen boy could be responsible.
Speaker 3: According to the educator Vanessa La Grange, speaking with The Guardian,
Speaker 3: I would never have thought that something like this would
Speaker 3: happen and that Diego would be capable of doing something
Speaker 3: like this. Everyone is in shock. State Police investigator Burea
Speaker 3: is still trying to determine what sparked the murder rampage.
Speaker 1: That is sick.
Speaker 3: And finally, police and Wyoming are reminding residents to decorate
Speaker 3: their homes for Christmas, but not their vehicles. This after
Speaker 3: a driver was pulled over because their car was covered
Speaker 3: with Christmas lights. Wyoming Highway Patrol shared a photo on
Speaker 3: social media showing the Ford Mustang pulled over by a trooper,
Speaker 3: showing the entire vehicle decked out in colorful lights.
Speaker 1: Or to the post.
Speaker 3: As the holiday season approaches, we would like to remind
Speaker 3: you of a Wyoming statute which says that quote no
Speaker 3: person shall drive or move any vehicle or equipment upon
Speaker 3: any highway with any lamp or device thereon capable of
Speaker 3: displaying a red or blue light visible from directly in
Speaker 3: front of the center thereof close quote. Police posts said
Speaker 3: that while decorating at car, in their words, might look
Speaker 3: cool and be festive, we would like to remind you
Speaker 3: that it is illegal. Please remember to stay safe while
Speaker 3: celebrating this season. Five to fifty five ifty five care
Speaker 3: see de Talk station. I will point out, though I
Speaker 3: believe the statute was to keep people from being confused
Speaker 3: that it isn't a police car that you're looking at.
Speaker 3: This thing was literally covered with multi colored lights from
Speaker 3: head to top, and I don't think anybody couldfuse it
Speaker 3: for anything other than somebody well decorating the car for
Speaker 3: Christmas season. Just coming up a five fifty six, fifty
Speaker 3: five Krcity Talk station plenty to talk about the six
Speaker 3: o'clock I would love to hear from you too.
Speaker 1: I will be right back after the news if.
Speaker 12: I'm busy with the college and talk about it.
Speaker 5: You never mind what's going on in the news.
Speaker 8: All this is a diversion.
Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC.
Speaker 3: At six oh five and fifty five Krcity Talk Station.
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas wishing everyone a very happy Monday. I hope
Speaker 3: you had as wonderful weekend as I did. Christmas celebrations
Speaker 3: in full full gear. Couple of parties I was able
Speaker 3: to go to, thanks again to Jack and Namesley Atherton
Speaker 3: and the Corkorans for the two wonderful parties my wife
Speaker 3: and I were able to attend. We had a glorious time,
Speaker 3: and I hope Santa Kon went well. We had the
Speaker 3: Santa Kon folks. The proceeds benefiting the Cure Starts now
Speaker 3: wonderful cancer fighting organization they are and not sure. I
Speaker 3: didn't see really much reporting on it, but I hope
Speaker 3: it was a really great turnout. They were hoping to
Speaker 3: raise sixty five dollars. I think last year they raised
Speaker 3: fifty five, so fingers crossed they achieved their goals. But wonderful,
Speaker 3: wonderful organization. So if you need a charity to help,
Speaker 3: there's one right there fifty five caresy dot com for
Speaker 3: podcasts when you can't listen live, check it out right there.
Speaker 1: Get your heart medium.
Speaker 3: While you're at it, feel free to call me this
Speaker 3: morning five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred,
Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty two to three talk five fifty
Speaker 3: on AT and T Funds. Want is to dive into
Speaker 3: this drone thing. Uh And I guess the EDITORI board
Speaker 3: of The Wall Street Dream kind of hit it on
Speaker 3: the head about trust generally speaking, because it seems to
Speaker 3: me and maybe you've noticed, there's a lot of eroded trust.
Speaker 3: And we can go back years and years about reasons
Speaker 3: why we might have little faith and trust in our
Speaker 3: government and parenthetically, there was another article that I probably
Speaker 3: won't have a chance to get to today, but remember
Speaker 3: Operation choke Hold, where araic Holder's Justice Department got banks
Speaker 3: to drop accounts because of the type of business that
Speaker 3: they were involved in. That's going on again. It's going
Speaker 3: on in big, big, big time. So there's one reason
Speaker 3: we'll go back to the irs with Lowis Learner attacking
Speaker 3: conservative organizations, and just fast forward throughout the years, and
Speaker 3: there's one illustration of another, and now we've got all
Speaker 3: these drones flying around and conspiracy theories, and conspiracy theories
Speaker 3: are created in factual, in factual vacuums. If we don't
Speaker 3: get some honesty from our elected officials, we start kind
Speaker 3: of questioning it, making things up or maybe drawing conclusions
Speaker 3: pattern observation. And speaking of pattern observation, they one person
Speaker 3: I always kind of joke around. She's probably listening Moreane,
Speaker 3: Good morning, Steve. Stephanie Perucci's coming up in one hour
Speaker 3: on the book Sound the Alarm the Maui Disaster, which
Speaker 3: she was like the very first person to suggests that
Speaker 3: Lahana fires were suspicious and were designed to achieve some
Speaker 3: broader objective. It wasn't just the fire. Exactly what the
Speaker 3: subject matter that book is about. So we'll let Stephanie
Speaker 3: talk about that and reach her conclusion. Christopher Smithman coming
Speaker 3: up at seven to twenty with a smith Event, former
Speaker 3: Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati Every Monday in
Speaker 3: the Morning Show. Fast forward to eighth five Money Money
Speaker 3: with Brian James in the mean kind drones in the
Speaker 3: cost of loss trust.
Speaker 1: No one in America.
Speaker 3: Seems to believe anyone in authority says about these drones
Speaker 3: and unproven claims are fulfilling the vacuum. It's like the
Speaker 3: one politician you said he thought it was an Iranian mothership.
Speaker 3: You know, I laughed out loud when I read that.
Speaker 3: I was like, you said that out loud. And then
Speaker 3: of course you have the CIA and FBI and Justice
Speaker 3: Department everybody else chiming in saying no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: the military, that's that's that's not true. Well from what
Speaker 3: orifice did he pull that theory out of?
Speaker 1: Did you just make it up.
Speaker 11: There?
Speaker 13: Right?
Speaker 3: Thousands of Americans who are not cranks have seen drones
Speaker 3: or what they think are drones overhead New Jersey and
Speaker 3: of all places, a hotbed sidings though overcurred across the
Speaker 3: northeast California. We had it happen at right Pad Air
Speaker 3: Force Base over the weekend. They shut down right Padded
Speaker 3: between late Friday night and early Saturday morning for about
Speaker 3: four hours because of drones flying around. Yet nobody in
Speaker 3: Washington seems to be able to convincingly explain the sightings.
Speaker 3: A joint statement Thursday by the FBI and Department of
Speaker 3: Homeland Security said, we have no evidence at this time
Speaker 3: that the reported drones sidings pose a national security or
Speaker 3: public safety thread or have a foreign nexus. But when
Speaker 3: you hear that, you're like, well, wait a second, you've
Speaker 3: already admitted you don't know what they are. How can
Speaker 3: you make a conclusion that they don't pose any threat?
Speaker 3: Legitimate question?
Speaker 5: It is.
Speaker 3: Statement added Historically, we have experienced cases of mistaken identity
Speaker 3: where reported drones are in fact manned aircraft or facilities.
Speaker 3: We are supporting local law enforcement in New Jersey with
Speaker 3: numerous detection methods, but have not corroborated any of the
Speaker 3: reported visual sidings with the electronic detection. To the contrary,
Speaker 3: upon reveal available imagery, it appears that many other reporting
Speaker 3: sightings are actually manned aircraft operating lawfully note the operative
Speaker 3: word in that sentence. Many many, not all. Yet, the
Speaker 3: unexplained sightings persist. One costs Stewart International Airport, New York's
Speaker 3: Hudson Valleys shut down its run day for a runway
Speaker 3: for an hour on Friday. Governor Kathy Hogel demanded answers
Speaker 3: from the Biden administration. Former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan described as.
Speaker 1: Not known as a show.
Speaker 3: A voter said he saw flory of aerial objects above
Speaker 3: his house in Donaldson, Maryland. Members of Congress demanding answers,
Speaker 3: offering their own theories, like the aforementioned representative Jeff Van Drew,
Speaker 3: who mentioned the Iranian mothership Pentagon said no GOP. State
Speaker 3: senator from in New Jersey, John Bammick with News Nations
Speaker 3: said it must be something going on that they can't
Speaker 3: tell us because they're so fearful of what the public's
Speaker 3: going to do when they hear what the drones are doing.
Speaker 3: And as the journal observed, this is how deep the
Speaker 3: suspicion runs. Like most of my listening audience might feel
Speaker 3: the same way about it, and when that happens, conspiracy
Speaker 3: theories fill the air as much as the drones do.
Speaker 3: One Twitter account with one hundred and ninety two thousand
Speaker 3: followers posted on x that quote all caps, we are fworded.
Speaker 3: The drones are Project blue Bean close quote and like
Speaker 3: the journal, I had no idea what the hell that is,
Speaker 3: And they said, well, we admit to not being fluent
Speaker 3: in this theory, but apparently Project Bluebean refers to a
Speaker 3: plan by government and the military to stage celestial events
Speaker 3: as a pretext to impose authoritarian rule. Don't beam us up, Scotty.
Speaker 3: We'd ignore this stuff, except millions of people might believe it.
Speaker 3: That's the world we live in. And sorry to say,
Speaker 3: the reason isn't merely the result of conspiracist or crack
Speaker 3: pots who will exploit doubt for attention. And here's the
Speaker 3: sailing point. The Biden administration has squandered its credibility to
Speaker 3: the point that it's rational not to believe what it says.
Speaker 3: Remember the Chinese spy balloon that traveled across the continental US.
Speaker 3: The administration downplayed its importance while it was courting better
Speaker 3: relations with Beijing, only to shoot it down over the
Speaker 3: Atlantic Ocean. It also downplayed representative to Mike Turner's warning
Speaker 3: based on solid intelligence about the danger from potential Russian
Speaker 3: nuclear blast in space. The administration failed for months to
Speaker 3: be canted about the migrant flights from the border to
Speaker 3: the US interior. Remember that when only Fox News was
Speaker 3: talking about the poorest border maybe Brightbart or other conservative organizations,
Speaker 3: and no one ever uttered a words in spite of
Speaker 3: the visual evidence and showing literally thousands and thousands and
Speaker 3: thousands of illegal immigrants flowing over the border every single day.
Speaker 3: Ah well, there was only so long you can keep
Speaker 3: that undercover, because well, they were causing problems for literally
Speaker 3: every city on the Texas or rather rather on the
Speaker 3: Mexico border. But then you know, when people stepped up
Speaker 3: to the plate and started shifting and moving these illegal
Speaker 3: immigrants to declared sanctuary cities, that's when the Democrats and
Speaker 3: the sanctuary city started saying, oh my god, we've got
Speaker 3: a real problem on our hands. The citizenry is outraged.
Speaker 3: They are screaming at us every day about how they're
Speaker 3: soaking up all the resources these newly arrived illegal immigrants.
Speaker 3: We need to do something about it. Well, like I said,
Speaker 3: you can only keep the lid on that for so month.
Speaker 3: So long, but you look back and you remember what
Speaker 3: the bidamin isministration said. For months, the Biden administration covered
Speaker 3: up the truth about Biden's declining mental and physical fitness,
Speaker 3: only to have it exposed in the presidential debate. My favorite,
Speaker 3: most recent illustration. After the COVID nineteen subcommittee report came out,
Speaker 3: the government's attempt to censor alternative views about COVID shutdowns
Speaker 3: during the Trump administration also spread mistrust. The more Americans
Speaker 3: don't trust their government, the more panic or protests are possible.
Speaker 3: On Sunday, New York Governor Hockel said FEDS are deploying
Speaker 3: high tech direction gear to her state to help with
Speaker 3: the drones swarms. The FEDS need to explain to Congress
Speaker 3: and the public with more specificity what's really going on.
Speaker 3: But the larger need is for a government Americans can trust. Amen,
Speaker 3: and you know part I mean, here I am wondering
Speaker 3: why we aren't told the truth more often, going back
Speaker 3: to many conversations I've had with Congressman When's sure of
Speaker 3: Congressman Davidson, Congressman Massy. I mean, you could go on
Speaker 3: for hours and hours and hours about all these folks
Speaker 3: on these various select subcommittees looking into the antics or
Speaker 3: whatever particular subject matter the subcommittee was formed for, asking
Speaker 3: the behind the scenes agencies, the quote unquote deep State,
Speaker 3: if you want to refer to that, for documents and
Speaker 3: information they possess on the subject matter, only to be
Speaker 3: told basically to go to hell. A metaphorical middle finger
Speaker 3: raised to the people that we elected to oversee the
Speaker 3: activities that you and I pay for. If they're subpoena
Speaker 3: to give the documents handed am documents over, there's a
Speaker 3: foy information requests to give the documents over, hand them over.
Speaker 3: Why would you be obstructionist about that? What does that
Speaker 3: lead to the same kind of stuff we're talking about.
Speaker 3: Hearing this op ed piece and generally speaking, hmm, why
Speaker 3: wouldn't they give us those documents? Why won't they let Oh,
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe Senator Rand Paul or perhaps Congressman
Speaker 3: Brad Weinstrom had the candidate information about the taxpayer dollars
Speaker 3: that were spent on gain a function research at of
Speaker 3: all places, the Wuhan Institute of Virology. What are we
Speaker 3: doing messing around with bat viruses with the Chinese Communist Party.
Speaker 3: That's information I think the American people should be able
Speaker 3: to know. At least let the people on the sub
Speaker 3: committee know. Oh my god, it could be this. You know,
Speaker 3: confidential information, you need security clearance whatever. Hand it over
Speaker 3: to them. That's what they were elected for, and by
Speaker 3: not doing it, you raise all kinds of concerns. You
Speaker 3: elevate the concept of conspiracy theories. And you support the
Speaker 3: idea of coming up with them in a factual void.
Speaker 3: Factual void perhaps intentionally created by those behind the scenes.
Speaker 3: Maybe they want us to mistrust the government. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm at a loss. Six seventeen fifty five Kshity Talk Station.
Speaker 3: Bobby's on the line. You can feel free to call too.
Speaker 3: I'd love to hear your thoughts and comments on that
Speaker 3: or anything else you might want to talk about this morning.
Speaker 3: I also want you to call us Intilation. It's the
Speaker 3: right thing happeny Monday.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Mar Marie was listening Project Bluebean, which I'd never heard of.
Speaker 3: The Wall Street Journal never heard of either. Jesus. The
Speaker 3: theory with the Project Blue being is that images will
Speaker 3: be projected in the sky, holograms, and people will be
Speaker 3: fulled into thinking that they are real wait for it, folks,
Speaker 3: and the endgame being that a hologram of Jesus will
Speaker 3: be projected telling people to accept one world religion. The
Speaker 3: man that tried to warn people not to be fooled
Speaker 3: by them died at mysteriously. How's that for a good
Speaker 3: conspiracy theory. Thank you for the smiley face, Maureene. I
Speaker 3: think even she finds that one to be preposterous. Bobby,
Speaker 3: welcome to the program. Thanks for calling this morning. Happy Monday.
Speaker 7: Happy Monday to you, my brother, and keep holding that
Speaker 7: torture freedom high and bright.
Speaker 8: It's dark outside.
Speaker 1: Trying to do it, man, trying to do it.
Speaker 7: When they start issuing these blanket pardons, will you think
Speaker 7: the Horowitz will get one through the IG report he
Speaker 7: put out on the January sixth issues that.
Speaker 1: He said, honestly, yes, I tell.
Speaker 7: You what my brother once they know you know, and
Speaker 7: I tell you we had sixty two people, they only
Speaker 7: had about twenty eighth that they wanted to say, and
Speaker 7: they didn't talk about any of the contractors that they
Speaker 7: had out there. So it's going to be a comedy
Speaker 7: show when Congressman Jordan and Massy go ahead and give
Speaker 7: out their information that they have.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you know what I show.
Speaker 3: You know, Biden could issue a blanket pardon for every
Speaker 3: single employee in the government. I guess I don't know
Speaker 3: what the limitations are. I don't think the American people
Speaker 3: very happy about something like that, but that doesn't stop
Speaker 3: people from in still investigating what actually happened. So just
Speaker 3: because you know, I'll listener, I've been commuted or I've
Speaker 3: been pardoned for all any climbs or ledged that I
Speaker 3: did or did not do or whatever, and you can say,
Speaker 3: so what, We're still incited to get the information. That's
Speaker 3: what this panel is all about. We're gonna get to
Speaker 3: the bottom of this crap, so what never happens again,
Speaker 3: so we can maybe reassure the American people that yes,
Speaker 3: we are trying to do our job, and we'll do
Speaker 3: our job. And then you can look back at the
Speaker 3: Biden administration and his presidency and say.
Speaker 1: Hmm, that's who did this. Huh.
Speaker 3: Well, maybe I'll think about who I'm going to vote
Speaker 3: for a little bit more thoughtfully next time, and I'll
Speaker 3: vote for somebody else.
Speaker 1: I don't know, But we.
Speaker 7: Got some of the best listeners in the country, brother,
Speaker 7: And I tell you, if they just want to have
Speaker 7: a nice comedy show, all they got to do is
Speaker 7: archive all the foodages and videos and try to track
Speaker 7: down the people that were wearing the Bullwick cover rolls.
Speaker 7: Bullwick coveralls. Okay, the Bullwick coverrolls. They were the ones
Speaker 7: rolling the fences down because they're all government issue. I
Speaker 7: know this for a fact, because they got the barcodes
Speaker 7: on the numbers of Well.
Speaker 3: Once again, once again, Bobby, as I quite often say
Speaker 3: when I'm speaking with you, I'm just gonna have to
Speaker 3: take your word for it, because one, I don't know everything,
Speaker 3: and I never heard of Bullwick Coverall until you just
Speaker 3: brought it up today. Nor do I know whether or
Speaker 3: not they have a connection with the federal government. Just
Speaker 3: gonna let it sit out there. Someday, maybe, maybe, maybe
Speaker 3: we'll get to the bottom of it and we will
Speaker 3: be told the truth, although allow me a large measure
Speaker 3: of skepticism that that day will come. Six thirty one,
Speaker 3: Happy Monday, Local Stories in front of me. But I
Speaker 3: do have New Hampshire Gary on the phone. It's gonna
Speaker 3: start with him. Gary, Welcome to the program. Good to
Speaker 3: hear back from you. Happy Monday to you.
Speaker 5: Did you ever thing that you would ever see a
Speaker 5: day that you're talking about conspiracies and UFO and all
Speaker 5: your life you think about the topics we go around,
Speaker 5: it's like crazy sometimes. Yeah, let me settle you know,
Speaker 5: I'll bake on your last comment that you made before commercial.
Speaker 5: What is true? You know Patcha's pilot headed down. I
Speaker 5: will shed a little bit of light on what's going
Speaker 5: on at Dayton because I got I talked to my
Speaker 5: dad every day. He is a retired Air Force person
Speaker 5: from Wright Patterson and he spent a lot of time
Speaker 5: up there. And my dad he's up in the dates
Speaker 5: now and he always visits the carmac every time he
Speaker 5: goes up to right Penn. And he said about a
Speaker 5: week week and a half ago, he was up there
Speaker 5: and he was watching what he said was between twelve
Speaker 5: and fifteen car sized drones on the tarmac being worked
Speaker 5: on and what he called playing follow the leader okay,
Speaker 5: shuppering real low, and he watched it. So what's amazed
Speaker 5: to me is these things. The Air Force knows they're
Speaker 5: working on their tarmac. They know exactly what goes on
Speaker 5: in the tarmac. Why is everybody writing like it's a
Speaker 5: mystery that these things are flying and around and like,
Speaker 5: oh look what we have here. They had to shut
Speaker 5: it down. Now. I'm not saying any other Air Force
Speaker 5: base or anything. All I know is my dad actually
Speaker 5: saw these things, and he has no reason to lie
Speaker 5: to me, right And and why would anybody not be
Speaker 5: announced you know.
Speaker 3: Well, okay, Gary, I was waiting for that because you
Speaker 3: know there are there are military bases around where some
Speaker 3: of these things are flying. They have been recorded to
Speaker 3: be the size of SUVs. Fine, you know, that's something
Speaker 3: I would expect our American military to have, and we
Speaker 3: presume that we do because we all know other countries
Speaker 3: have them. Why wouldn't we just say, now, you guys,
Speaker 3: settle down. It's the American military operating and testing the drones.
Speaker 1: Let us go. It's not that big of a deal.
Speaker 3: Some of them may be you know, private drones, and
Speaker 3: you know, and some of them may be actually aircraft
Speaker 3: that because of the lights on the aircraft, you think
Speaker 3: it's a drone because so many people are seeing drones.
Speaker 3: But in the final analysis, if you see an suv
Speaker 3: size drone, it's ours. End the story, no more conspiracy theories,
Speaker 3: and then we may take some comfort at least they're
Speaker 3: testing some of these giant drones. We have modern technology,
Speaker 3: and maybe we'll feel a little bit more secure in
Speaker 3: our own defense.
Speaker 5: Right right, We had some flying up here in New Hampshire.
Speaker 5: For example, we have a nuclear power plant up here
Speaker 5: and we also Haveport Smith which they make nuclear submarines.
Speaker 5: Now they have reports of aerial drones flying in their
Speaker 5: restricted spaces here in southern New Hampshire. But you know,
Speaker 5: that's all I know. I'm not saying who they belong
Speaker 5: to or anything. I'm just saying that's kind.
Speaker 3: Of odd, well odd, or maybe not, because the first
Speaker 3: thing went through my mind on that there may be
Speaker 3: a really great damn reason for us to want to
Speaker 3: fly a drone over a nuclear facility or a subplant,
Speaker 3: maybe to get an overhead shot of what's going on
Speaker 3: down there. Some people are saying that maybe they're trying
Speaker 3: to detect you know, perhaps chemicals or radiation. I don't know,
Speaker 3: but there are quite legitimate reasons to fly a drone around.
Speaker 3: I mean, people use them all the time for hobbyist reasons,
Speaker 3: but also to look at the way things are going
Speaker 3: down below. There's I mean, it's easy. You want to
Speaker 3: see where the water and the flood damage is, put
Speaker 3: a drone up in the sky. There's a perfectly reasonable
Speaker 3: explanation to do that. Maybe you've got a submarine facility,
Speaker 3: maybe you need to fly one around just to make
Speaker 3: sure that things look like they're in order or whatever.
Speaker 3: But you know, just tell us right now. It's like, well,
Speaker 3: we don't know, we don't know. Uh, don't worry about it,
Speaker 3: but we really can't tell you where they are. And
Speaker 3: therein lies the rub and the challenge, because that's when
Speaker 3: people start making stuff up about holograms of Jesus being
Speaker 3: projected into the sky.
Speaker 1: Take care man.
Speaker 3: Good to hear from you, Gary, thanks to the Inside
Speaker 3: Baseball there from right Back sixty two fifty five Kerr
Speaker 3: City Talk Station five one three seven fifty five hundred
Speaker 3: eight hundred eighty two to three talk.
Speaker 1: And yes it's confirmed.
Speaker 3: Stephanie Britchie and the book Sound of the Alarm, the
Speaker 3: Malley Disaster. Sean McMahon, who's covering for the vacationing Joe's
Speaker 3: trekker who's supposed to be back tomorrow, just got texted,
Speaker 3: got done texting her, so she's all ready to go
Speaker 3: after the top of the our news. And I just
Speaker 3: got a text from Christopher Smith and he is ready
Speaker 3: to rock and roll at seven twenty with the Smither event.
Speaker 3: So things are looking good for the Morning show this
Speaker 3: week after a couple of wrinkles last week. No fault
Speaker 3: of Sean.
Speaker 1: Anyhow.
Speaker 3: Moving over to this the murder of CEO Brian Thompson
Speaker 3: from Neted Healthcare. You may have heard about that, and
Speaker 3: the murderer is becoming a bit of a celebrity, which
Speaker 3: I find absolutely disgusting. People's genuine, absolute ignorance over how
Speaker 3: we ended up here with the healthcare system as screwed
Speaker 3: up as it is. And I'll be the first person
Speaker 3: to acknowledge that failed to appreciate the realities of how
Speaker 3: we ended up here. I read that article from the
Speaker 3: Mesa's Institute last week explaining the entire history of health
Speaker 3: system in our country and how basically the federal government
Speaker 3: and massive regulations have created this epic, unaffordable nightmare that
Speaker 3: we all live in.
Speaker 1: Anyway, and we've.
Speaker 3: Got elected officials like Alexandrio Casio Cortes. She said, denied
Speaker 3: claims could be interpreted by people struggling to afford healthcare
Speaker 3: related costs as an act of violence against them. Well,
Speaker 3: you know what, it could be interpreted that way, and
Speaker 3: I can hand you deck of tarot cards and you
Speaker 3: throw them down on the floor, and you can say,
Speaker 3: I interpret that pile of tarot cards as meaning something,
Speaker 3: and I would say, uh yeah, great, insane.
Speaker 1: Anyway, all that.
Speaker 3: Pain that people have experience is being concentrated on this event.
Speaker 3: It's really important, this is her quote, really important. We
Speaker 3: take a step back, and it's to not to comment.
Speaker 3: And this is not to say that an act of
Speaker 3: violence is justified. But I think for anyone who's confused,
Speaker 3: is shocked, or appalled, they need to understand that people
Speaker 3: interpret and feel and experience denine claims as an act
Speaker 3: of violence against them. Close quote. And she also posted
Speaker 3: a video on x saying, when we kind of talk
Speaker 3: about how systems are violent in this country in this
Speaker 3: passive way, our privatized healthcare system is like that for
Speaker 3: a huge amount of Americans. I mean I did not
Speaker 3: have health insurance until I got elected to Congress. When
Speaker 3: I first ran for Congress, I had to sit in
Speaker 3: a free clinic. Hm follow up comment to that by
Speaker 3: James Freeman, Americans can only dream of a privatized healthcare system,
Speaker 3: relief from stifling regulation, and a revival of patient driven care.
Speaker 3: But if Representative Acasio Cortez really doesn't want to enjoy
Speaker 3: the benefits of for profit medicine, why was she not
Speaker 3: thrilled to be served at a free clinic. As for
Speaker 3: repulsive commons on violence, She's sadly not alone among prominent
Speaker 3: Democrats who seek to explain it away. When the alleged
Speaker 3: perpetrator seems to have a leftist agenda. True, and as
Speaker 3: far as leftists go, people are actually funding a defense
Speaker 3: fund for Luigi Luigi Mangioni, the murderer, I'm sorry, alleged
Speaker 3: murderer of the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Of course,
Speaker 3: he's facing charges in Pennsylvania, going to be in New
Speaker 3: York as a consequence of the December fourth shooting murdering.
Speaker 3: There's an anonymous group out there called the December fourth
Speaker 3: Legal Committee. They've already raised about one hundred and twenty
Speaker 3: thousand dollars of their two hundred thousand dollars goal to
Speaker 3: fund his legal defense. They said, we're not here to
Speaker 3: celebrate violence. We do believe in the constitution right to
Speaker 3: fair legal representation, which you know I've advocated and argued
Speaker 3: before too. Yes, he is going to face massive legal expenses.
Speaker 3: When asked about the support received for the defense fund,
Speaker 3: his attorney, guy named Thomas Dickey, when interviewed by CNN's
Speaker 3: Caitlin Collins, said he probably wouldn't accept donations from his
Speaker 3: client's supporters, saying, in that quote, I don't feel comfortable
Speaker 3: about that, so I don't know, I haven't given that
Speaker 3: much thought. Obviously my client appreciates support that he has,
Speaker 3: but I don't know, it just doesn't sit right with
Speaker 3: me really close. Quote now, think about that. That's his
Speaker 3: defense lawyer, innocent till proven guilty. He's got legal bills
Speaker 3: he's going to be facing. I mean, defense lawyer's going
Speaker 3: to get paid. He's going to get paid from some
Speaker 3: money or something. So I guess the idea that he
Speaker 3: actually uttered out loud he doesn't feel comfortable taking money
Speaker 3: from the general population to have his legal fees discharged.
Speaker 3: I think perhaps suggests that he believes his client is
Speaker 3: outright guilty, which I don't know how you argue around that,
Speaker 3: considering well, there it is caught on video six forty
Speaker 3: seven fifty five cair see de talk station, and maybe
Speaker 3: he'll argue it's a deep fake six fifty three fifty
Speaker 3: five cair Cee detalk station, Stephanie Ferucci. The book Sound
Speaker 3: the Alarmed, The Malley Disaster of Cop of the Iron
Speaker 3: New is Christopher Smidman at seven twenty and right now
Speaker 3: more to this Brian Thompson Murder. There is a socialist
Speaker 3: described as an apparel brand. Socialist apparel brand, I wonder
Speaker 3: if everything's olive drab gray or complete camera rouge black.
Speaker 1: Anyhow.
Speaker 3: Comrade Workwear they're planning to release a set of what
Speaker 3: they call most Wanted CEOs playing cards. You may remember
Speaker 3: Iraq and Bagdad Bob and all that, when the United
Speaker 3: States military issued playing cards with all the evil bad
Speaker 3: guys that they were trying to track down so they
Speaker 3: easily have a photograph of them. That's what they're doing,
Speaker 3: Most Wanted playing Cards. I just I find this appalling.
Speaker 3: James Harr, who is the founder of Comrade Workwear, this
Speaker 3: is what I'm thinking for back, for the back of
Speaker 3: the cards. Basically, each suit is going to be like
Speaker 3: certain types of industries. So clubs are going to be
Speaker 3: like pharmaceuticals and chemical companies.
Speaker 1: The heart's going to.
Speaker 3: Be like retail and real estate, things you need to survive.
Speaker 1: He said.
Speaker 3: He developed the cards for specific CEOs and encourage feedback
Speaker 3: from his well, I guess his followers. Tell them, if
Speaker 3: you guys dig this, because I want to put them
Speaker 3: out like asap, so let's get some feedback. His request
Speaker 3: on of course, of all things TikTok. Naturally, he's going
Speaker 3: to be on a Chinese Communist Party media platform, he
Speaker 3: described the murder of Brian Thompson and as good news,
Speaker 3: calling the assassin his f wording hero. In a different video,
Speaker 3: he described the general excitement about Thompson's death as awesome.
Speaker 3: There's no amount of dead CEOs that is going to
Speaker 3: change the nature of capitalism, he said. And no matter
Speaker 3: how awesome it is, you know what's happening, we do
Speaker 3: need to maintain the knowledge that this energy that we're
Speaker 3: having that it's not going to change anything systematically.
Speaker 1: Well, there is that. I believe it is.
Speaker 3: Comrade workwhere website say this mission is creating opportunities for education,
Speaker 3: community development, organization toward liberation. Go ahead and make some
Speaker 3: sense out of that. I believe that the intersection of
Speaker 3: art and self expression lies a powerful opportunity for leftists
Speaker 3: to bring conversation, and it's typically confined to the corners
Speaker 3: of the Internet into the public sphere. Apparel is a
Speaker 3: canvas that brings these dialogues into the streets, into our
Speaker 3: daily lives, and into shared spaces. Oh you know, I'm
Speaker 3: kind of wondering as I read this. He's an apparel manufacturer.
Speaker 3: He sells things. Do you think he gives this stuff away?
Speaker 3: I bet he makes a nice living selling comrade work
Speaker 3: where let's talk to Stephanie Peruci after the top of
Speaker 3: the internetw is the name of the book, Sound the
Speaker 3: Alarm the Maui Disaster. That'll be next.
Speaker 1: Oh, students, people are talking about Annie. We are Hamah.
Speaker 8: Just turns my stomach.
Speaker 3: Fifty five krs the talk station coming on a seven
Speaker 3: oh five I fifty five KRCD talk station. A very
Speaker 3: very heavy Monday to you. I've been looking forward to
Speaker 3: this conversation since last Thursday. He had a little bit
Speaker 3: of a hiccup last Thursday. Not Stephanie Perucci's falt little
Speaker 3: problems out of her hands, but better late than never
Speaker 3: to talk with her about her books, Sound the Old Alarm,
Speaker 3: The Maui Disaster that sparked a global awakening. Stephanie's a
Speaker 3: founder and CEO of Proachie Publishing, an independent free speech
Speaker 3: publisher designed to elevate world consciousness through books. International best
Speaker 3: selling book Burned Back, better described as exposing the globalist
Speaker 3: playbook as it was manifested on Maui. This same fire
Speaker 3: we're talking about here in Sound the Alarm the la
Speaker 3: Heena Fire. Welcome back or welcome to the program. Stephanie,
Speaker 3: it's a real pleasure to have you on the fifty
Speaker 3: five KRC Morning Show.
Speaker 13: Thank you so much for having me. It's great to
Speaker 13: be here.
Speaker 3: And the Lahena fire, a lot of my listeners will
Speaker 3: remember it, and almost immediately after it happened, I started
Speaker 3: hearing and allow me a little leeway, we can call
Speaker 3: it what we want, conspiracy theories about how the fire started,
Speaker 3: how why buildings burned down and others didn't, and the
Speaker 3: motivation is behind it. You do refer to in the
Speaker 3: materials as the scene of a crime, and that this
Speaker 3: fire was allowed to happen. How I guess I just
Speaker 3: set the start. Why what is the why behind? I mean,
Speaker 3: if we assume all of the above, why would they
Speaker 3: want to burn down behind as opposed to any place
Speaker 3: else in Hawaii or anywhere else for that matter.
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's a great question. My first book explored exactly that.
Speaker 13: It was called burn Back Better, and the proposal in
Speaker 13: that book was that we had some very weird anomalies
Speaker 13: around the burn. There were some extremely negligent behaviors by
Speaker 13: every public official that we could find. We saw nobody
Speaker 13: who really found a way to help the people. Water
Speaker 13: was turned off. There were eighty alarms on the island
Speaker 13: that didn't just on Maui, that didn't go off to
Speaker 13: warn people that there was an emergency. The power was off,
Speaker 13: and self service was turned off early that morning, even
Speaker 13: though they're blaming the electric companies. So with evidence, you know,
Speaker 13: such as that, in addition to about one hundred and
Speaker 13: fifty other very bizarre things that happened during the fire,
Speaker 13: the only thing we could think is that they're trying
Speaker 13: to grab just about the most beautiful piece of land
Speaker 13: in the world. And the reason I think it might
Speaker 13: have been Lahina is a few different things. Number One,
Speaker 13: it had already been mapped out for a smart you know,
Speaker 13: sustainable development. Okay, So the reason they they incinerated Lahina,
Speaker 13: we suspect, is because it was a working class town.
Speaker 13: They weren't incinerating multimillion dollar homes or hotels. This was
Speaker 13: one of the last stretches of working class community really
Speaker 13: on Maui, right on the ocean there, and about twelve
Speaker 13: thousand people were displaced in Eighty six percent of the
Speaker 13: twenty two hundred or so structures that were burned were
Speaker 13: resident height.
Speaker 3: All right, And I know I've been to Hawaii absolutely epic, beautiful,
Speaker 3: and I've seen some of the multi gazillion dollar homes
Speaker 3: that folks that have been building there over the years.
Speaker 1: And the Hawaiians, the.
Speaker 3: Hereditarya you know, born there and lived at they view
Speaker 3: it as a bit of an invasion. I think there
Speaker 3: was one Hollywood movie star who sort of started the
Speaker 3: trend back in the early seventies, and from that point
Speaker 3: they all just view the whole places gone into hell
Speaker 3: in a hands basket. But in terms of this taking property,
Speaker 3: I did the residents of Lahina own their property because
Speaker 3: you know, I'm I have the deed to my house,
Speaker 3: it's paid off in full. You can burn it to
Speaker 3: the ground, intentionally or otherwise. I'm still going to own
Speaker 3: the land and no one can take that away from me.
Speaker 3: How do you get around that challenge when you're talking about,
Speaker 3: you know, the government coming in and sort of redoing
Speaker 3: it and turning into one of these sustainable fifteen minute cities.
Speaker 13: You know what happened in the Highlights Capital of the
Speaker 13: Kingdom of Hawaii. A lot of these homes really were
Speaker 13: owned for generations, hundreds of years, and if you were
Speaker 13: to walk inside of them, a lot of them looked
Speaker 13: almost like museums of Hawaiian history, and they were owned
Speaker 13: by these families. There was no bank that got involved
Speaker 13: with a mortgage or anything like that. So the the
Speaker 13: properties were so sacred that there was no amount of
Speaker 13: money that you could throw at these people to sell
Speaker 13: because it was really, you know, almost its own It
Speaker 13: almost had its own soul like a family member. You
Speaker 13: just don't.
Speaker 3: Sure, Yeah, I can understand that, but that I mean,
Speaker 3: I guess in the final analysis though, again, disasters do happen,
Speaker 3: and whether this was intentionally burned to the ground or
Speaker 3: it just happened because you know, some woman's cow knock
Speaker 3: a lantern over in a barn, the property the property
Speaker 3: still belongs to them, right.
Speaker 13: No, Unfortunately, what happened three weeks before the fire and
Speaker 13: what's happening still is there have been multiple pieces of
Speaker 13: legislation aimed at the state having the ability to assume
Speaker 13: ownership of land as it is destroyed by a disaster.
Speaker 13: So curiously, three weeks before the August eighth, twenty twenty
Speaker 13: three fire, a resolution was signed into order. It was
Speaker 13: called an emergency proclamation, indicating that if there were a
Speaker 13: disaster that the state was going to rebuild sustainable, you know,
Speaker 13: multifamily homes over wherever that disaster had taken place. So
Speaker 13: this emergency proclamation is detailed in my first book, Burned
Speaker 13: Back Better, and in my second book, Unfortunately, we detail
Speaker 13: another bill. It's called Senate Bill thirty three eighty one,
Speaker 13: which is supported, of course by the Hawaii Community Foundation.
Speaker 13: A lot of nefarious activity around that organization, and they
Speaker 13: propose in this bill that a group of nine people
Speaker 13: selected by the governor would be in charge of determining
Speaker 13: what the rebuilt looks like. And not only the four
Speaker 13: or five miles that burned in Mahina would be would
Speaker 13: be part of this redevelopment plan, but the entire west
Speaker 13: side of Maui, it almost on a map, looks like
Speaker 13: it's own little island. So we're talking businesses and homes
Speaker 13: that were not even close to the fire.
Speaker 1: Fair enough.
Speaker 3: Now, that sounds to me like a takings clause situation.
Speaker 3: So if the government wants to, you know, condemn my
Speaker 3: land for the purposes of a broader, you know, public
Speaker 3: works project, they can do that, but they got to
Speaker 3: pay me for it. So are these folks being paid?
Speaker 3: If this is sort of analogous to a takings claw situation.
Speaker 13: No, there was nothing in the bill that indicated people
Speaker 13: would be paid. There has been a scapegoat for the fire,
Speaker 13: which is the electric company Hawaiian Electric or he coke.
Speaker 13: Hawaiian Electric is supposedly going to pay out about two
Speaker 13: billion of four billion that they are responsible to pay
Speaker 13: out starting this spring two people who lost their homes. However,
Speaker 13: Senate Bill thirty three eighty one never indicated that the
Speaker 13: land would be purchased, but that it would that everything
Speaker 13: would just kind of for all intents and purposes, government's
Speaker 13: going to declare eminent domain. They're going to decide what
Speaker 13: you do. And that was why Senator Kurt Favela in
Speaker 13: particular fought really hard against that bill. Now, there were
Speaker 13: cultural ambassadors and organizations in Hawaii who supposedly are working
Speaker 13: for the people and Hawaiian but on their board there
Speaker 13: are people involved in tourism, banking, and even Disney resorts.
Speaker 13: So a lot of high powered executives want this state
Speaker 13: to grab that land because it's going to be very
Speaker 13: profitable if they turn it into a little miniature Las
Speaker 13: Vegas or Disney World.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely, And going back to your point about
Speaker 3: people being very protective of these very historic homes. I won't,
Speaker 3: you know, over my dead body while I sell it
Speaker 3: to Disney. I don't care how much money they come
Speaker 3: at me with this fire provides a convenient mechanism to
Speaker 3: bring that about in the face of all the stone walling,
Speaker 3: if I can use that term that the people might add. Now,
Speaker 3: is there currently litigation over this? I mean I'm a
Speaker 3: litigation attorney by trade and was in the courtroom for
Speaker 3: you know, sixteen years, and this sounds to me like
Speaker 3: it's right for someone to file suit and make these
Speaker 3: challenges like you know, compensation, private property, the takings clause,
Speaker 3: and of course civil action against the power company the
Speaker 3: extent it is personally responsible for the fire happening in
Speaker 3: the first place.
Speaker 13: We don't think the power company was responsible, but at
Speaker 13: this time they're the only real Escot scapegoat that has
Speaker 13: been found guilty of anything. And the problem with people
Speaker 13: getting money for the for the property is the fact
Speaker 13: that for some reason, usually under the excuse that it
Speaker 13: was dangerous to go into the burn zone, even though
Speaker 13: the town was leveled, nothing was going to fall on you,
Speaker 13: it was just ash. But the insurance adjusters were not
Speaker 13: allowed into the burn zone. So at this time, even today,
Speaker 13: over I guess, sixteen months after the fire, people are
Speaker 13: still paying mortgages on the homes they lost because insurance
Speaker 13: adjusters haven't been able to get in there and determine
Speaker 13: the properties are lost. And even more sadly, only one
Speaker 13: home is being rebuilt at this time. The people absolutely
Speaker 13: don't know how to fight to get the permits required
Speaker 13: to rebuild, and when they do get permised, it doesn't
Speaker 13: look like they're going to rebuild the homes that they
Speaker 13: once had. It looks like they're going to be required
Speaker 13: to have so many easements and underground utilities that it
Speaker 13: would just be untenable, very extensive to live on Maui
Speaker 13: or anywhere in Hawaii really in.
Speaker 6: The first place, Well pretty much is pretty much is anyway.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's a finite amount of absolute epic, gorgeous land.
Speaker 6: Of course, the laws of supplying demand being what they are.
Speaker 6: I mean, my wife and I were there, like god,
Speaker 6: it would be great to live here. Look how much
Speaker 6: beauty you're surrounded by all the time. And of course
Speaker 6: that's why property increases in value. Well, I guess, you know,
Speaker 6: and so far, maybe what we need to do in
Speaker 6: terms of getting people to have their property assessed. Stephanie Perucci,
Speaker 6: one of the authors have Sound the Alarm, the Malay
Speaker 6: disaster that sparked global awakening. How about some of the
Speaker 6: drones that are flying around New Jersey. Maybe get a
Speaker 6: couple of drones of flying around there and survey the property.
Speaker 6: You don't need to be on the ground subject to
Speaker 6: something falling on you that's not there in order to
Speaker 6: do an adequate survey of the property.
Speaker 1: Just the thought this is thought well.
Speaker 13: One of the reasons we wrote the first One of
Speaker 13: the reasons I actually wrote the first book, Burned Back Better,
Speaker 13: was because there were one or two really intrepid sort
Speaker 13: of citizen journalists who were flying around with drones. If
Speaker 13: it weren't for these guys, especially a man named Eric
Speaker 13: west on YouTube Hawaii real Estate, if he weren't flying
Speaker 13: around with a drone, we wouldn't even have an idea
Speaker 13: of what went on inside the burn zone. Because they
Speaker 13: built a dust stream sence the day after the fire
Speaker 13: that was I think two and a half miles between
Speaker 13: two and a half and five miles long, so no
Speaker 13: one could even look in to see what happened in
Speaker 13: that area. A lot of the footage that we have
Speaker 13: with taken by people who were stuck in the fire
Speaker 13: and maybe they hid in a parking garage or something
Speaker 13: like that and they kind of walked out in the morning,
Speaker 13: but most people in that burn area didn't make it.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: Well, a lot to consume here, and I could go
Speaker 3: on for probably a couple of hours talking with you,
Speaker 3: but we're all going to just read the book and
Speaker 3: find out about it. Sound the Alarm, The Malle Disaster,
Speaker 3: This Spark Global Awakening by one of the authors, Stephanie Prucci,
Speaker 3: along with Shane Buell and Tracy Derwin. And you can
Speaker 3: also read the prior book by Stephanie burn Back Better Lahaina,
Speaker 3: The Perfect Storm or a Perfect Crime question Mark. It's
Speaker 3: been great having you on. I'm glad we're able to
Speaker 3: get you back on, Stephanie. And interesting phenomena going on
Speaker 3: here and seems to me again the litigation attorney in
Speaker 3: me seems to think that somehow, some way this is
Speaker 3: going to all end up being in court and subject
Speaker 3: to it much closer and thorough investigation.
Speaker 1: Thanks for writing the book.
Speaker 3: We'll share that book on my blog page of fifty
Speaker 3: five cares dot com so folk can easily get a
Speaker 3: copy of it.
Speaker 4: Stephanie, thank you.
Speaker 13: For having me. I appreciate it. Let's get informed about
Speaker 13: what's going on so that we don't see it happen anymore.
Speaker 3: There you go, and you do mention other suspicious fires
Speaker 3: that you connect with this kind of thing, Stephanie, Take care,
Speaker 3: happy holidays, Merry Christmas, and all that good stuff as
Speaker 3: we move toward toward the festive time of year. Take
Speaker 3: care seven nineteen. Right now, Christopher Smithman's coming up five
Speaker 3: KR city talk station starting a few minutes late. And
Speaker 3: my apologies too for a vice mayor of the city
Speaker 3: of Sin Sant and Christopher Smithman got into the conversation
Speaker 3: with Stephanie about that book and went a little bit long. Christopher,
Speaker 3: welcome back to the morning show, my friend.
Speaker 1: Happy Monday to you.
Speaker 4: Happy Monday, Brian. I get on and I don't even
Speaker 4: know where to start, but I will start with the
Speaker 4: murder of the CEO of United Health in New York.
Speaker 4: And first, you know, my condolences go out to his
Speaker 4: family on his chillldren as they go into the holiday season.
Speaker 4: What a devastating time for his wife. The CEO's parents
Speaker 4: I'm sure he's an uncle and people are just mourning
Speaker 4: his death. And to see elected officials like Bernie Sanders
Speaker 4: indicate that there is any justification for this assassination, this
Speaker 4: murder of a human being in the early mornings on
Speaker 4: the New York streets is absolutely outrageous and insane. And
Speaker 4: to say that there is a gofund me account out
Speaker 4: there where people are raising money and acting as if
Speaker 4: this guy is some kind of hero. I don't even
Speaker 4: want to say his name. He's not that. He's a coward.
Speaker 4: He's a murderer. He didn't face this man face to face.
Speaker 4: He gave him no chance to live. He shot him
Speaker 4: in his back. He's a coward. And it is amazing
Speaker 4: to me that we have any elected officials in the
Speaker 4: United States of America that we have elected to Congress
Speaker 4: that would come out and justify such a murder.
Speaker 3: Alexander Casio Cortes I gave her a quote earlier, sounds
Speaker 3: like she's all about it. I mean, I'm with you, Christopher,
Speaker 3: and you know the I don't know what purpose this
Speaker 3: is supposed to serve, not only just killing this man,
Speaker 3: shooting in the back as if murdering the figurehead, the
Speaker 3: CEO of any given insurance company is somehow going to
Speaker 3: change the dynamic. But as sure as hell does create
Speaker 3: a threat of fear and worry and concern among so
Speaker 3: many other people who should be able to go ahead
Speaker 3: and live their life and work within the system that
Speaker 3: the government created through all their edicts and mandates and regulation.
Speaker 3: Anybody wonders how expensive health insurance is, or rather healthcare
Speaker 3: generally speaking, needn't look at Brian Thompson. They need to
Speaker 3: look at the government who created all of this nonsense.
Speaker 4: And you know, this has to put a panic on
Speaker 4: anybody out there, whether they're a CEO, whether they are
Speaker 4: a public figure like yourself. It has to bring like
Speaker 4: a real alert for all of us that this guy
Speaker 4: is hiring a top lawyer, you know, he's fighting to
Speaker 4: go back to New York, and that there's anybody on
Speaker 4: the planet. And so I've just been so disappointed about
Speaker 4: what I've been reading on the internet over the weekend
Speaker 4: that anybody is justified this kind of murder. It just
Speaker 4: makes no sense to me.
Speaker 3: Well, I brought up the article I saw earlier. There's
Speaker 3: this this this socialist apparel brand, clothing brand called Comrade Workwear,
Speaker 3: and the head of that company, the founder, James Harr
Speaker 3: he called this guy a hero, says he's a hero
Speaker 3: and he's creating You remember, remember the playing cards of
Speaker 3: the US soldiers carried around when they were fighting the
Speaker 3: war in Iraq. And don't tell me whether that was
Speaker 3: justifiable or not, but that's what they did. So they
Speaker 3: had the pictures of the guys that they were looking for.
Speaker 3: I understand why I gave them something to do. They
Speaker 3: could play cards, but they also would able to see
Speaker 3: these guys, so if they ran into them on the
Speaker 3: streets of Iraq, they know who they're after. Well, comrade,
Speaker 3: Workwere is putting together its own pack of cards to
Speaker 3: include all kinds of CEOs from a whole variety of
Speaker 3: different industries. I mean, is that not just sort of
Speaker 3: begging people to go out and commit horrific acts of
Speaker 3: violence like the murderer we're talking about here today, Christopher.
Speaker 4: It absolutely does. Brian Thomas and those people should be
Speaker 4: held accountable if or when there's an attempt or it happened.
Speaker 4: And I just say, I'm hoping you're listening, audience. I
Speaker 4: know that they're understanding and with us on this, but
Speaker 4: We've got to call it out. People will say, well,
Speaker 4: what can I do when you see it on the
Speaker 4: internet called out, say that it's outrageous and over the top.
Speaker 4: Don't allow those kind of words just to hang out
Speaker 4: there without us challenging them, because it puts our society
Speaker 4: at risk. This was a horrific murder. It fell on
Speaker 4: the backdrop of the hero mister Kinn, who saved the
Speaker 4: lives clearly of people on that train. New York is
Speaker 4: out of control. It's why I don't want to visit.
Speaker 4: It's why people are leaving New York because they are
Speaker 4: concerned about their basic safety. This is just another example.
Speaker 3: All true, but let me observe because while there are
Speaker 3: these outrageous, you know, of louding and praising claims that
Speaker 3: this guy did the right thing and you know he's
Speaker 3: just fighting back against this system or whatever. I really
Speaker 3: truly believe it's almost as if, like when you look
Speaker 3: back in the election, Donald Trump won the popular vote
Speaker 3: in spite of the fact that twenty four hours a day,
Speaker 3: seven days a week, all we heard from media and
Speaker 3: social media and online posting was evil Trump, fascist, going
Speaker 3: to ruin democracy. It's awful. The world's going to come
Speaker 3: to an end, and you thought the whole world felt
Speaker 3: that way. And in spite of the fact that Kamala
Speaker 3: Harris came across as such a profound, blithering idiot that
Speaker 3: somehow she might win the election, because they had instilled
Speaker 3: in vast majority of American people the idea that Trump
Speaker 3: was somehow well dangerous to the country. Look what happened,
Speaker 3: you know what, all those echoing and all those voices,
Speaker 3: well got a bit of a SmackDown, now, didn't they.
Speaker 3: So we can go, hmm, maybe just maybe that those
Speaker 3: voices were small, they were a minority, and they were
Speaker 3: elevated by social media in spite of the fact that
Speaker 3: most of us we either kept our mouth shut or
Speaker 3: you know, maybe our voices were suppressed. Any words of
Speaker 3: support for Donald Trump, yeah, those didn't quite make it
Speaker 3: to the top, but boy, they would advance the ones
Speaker 3: that demonized Trump as being some sort of whatever fill
Speaker 3: in the blank demon And in this case, it's outrageous
Speaker 3: that I believe, and you believe, people would call this
Speaker 3: guy a hero. And you see a lot of it,
Speaker 3: But the idea that someone would call me a hero
Speaker 3: is so outrageous that that message is being repeated a
Speaker 3: lot to give it the impression that a lot of
Speaker 3: people believe it was the right honorable thing to do
Speaker 3: to murder this man by shooting him in the back,
Speaker 3: And I personally don't believe that the vast majority of
Speaker 3: Americans feel that way at all. The squeaky wheel gets
Speaker 3: the grease, the outrageous stories get the most coverage, and
Speaker 3: I think that's what we're working through right now, at
Speaker 3: least I'd like to believe it.
Speaker 4: I agree with you, and I think this is why
Speaker 4: the narrative in the last election was the Democratic Party
Speaker 4: left me. I didn't leave them. Yeah, And so many
Speaker 4: people said listen, you're going and have gone too far.
Speaker 4: This is just yet another example of why the election
Speaker 4: turned out the way it did, and another example why
Speaker 4: these congressional members still have not learned their lesson that
Speaker 4: they must embrace humanity and common sense. A man was murdered,
Speaker 4: this is the Christmas holidays. What do you think his
Speaker 4: wife and his children, and his parents and grandparents are
Speaker 4: thinking today when they can look and hear elected officials say, hey,
Speaker 4: this was a justified murder by your elected officials. So
Speaker 4: am I talking about the everyday person out there? I'm
Speaker 4: talking about people who are in Congress.
Speaker 3: Yes, excellent point. Let's pause, will bring Christopher smithling back
Speaker 3: for more. Smith evan former vice mayor of the City
Speaker 3: of Cincinnati, always making some extraordinarily logic and reasonable comments,
Speaker 3: which is why I love having them on the program
Speaker 3: seven nine. Who is about ter CD talk station. Hope
Speaker 3: everybody's having that happy Monday on Mondays are always happy
Speaker 3: because get to talk to Christopher Smith and former vice
Speaker 3: mayor of the Cincinnati and the get the Smith van
Speaker 3: coming up off top of the our news.
Speaker 1: Not sure what we're talking.
Speaker 3: About, but we are going to do Money Monday with
Speaker 3: Brian James, Joe Streker on vacation and the board being great,
Speaker 3: wonderfully covered by Sean McMahon. I appreciate what you're doing today, Sean,
Speaker 3: Christopher or what else is on your mind?
Speaker 1: All I got it? Did you have a good week
Speaker 1: and by the way, I didn't ask you that coming
Speaker 1: out of.
Speaker 4: The gate, had a good weekend? Had a good weekend,
Speaker 4: Brian Thomas, let me share this with you, brother. I'm
Speaker 4: going to do my best to connect these dots of
Speaker 4: the Amazon CEO giving a.
Speaker 8: Million dollars for the inauguration.
Speaker 4: For President elect Trump, the Google ceo giving a million
Speaker 4: dollars and the Facebook now called Meta giving a million
Speaker 4: dollars to the inauguration of Donald Trump. Now, these are
Speaker 4: some of the most left platforms in the entire globe.
Speaker 4: And the cancel culture. This is what I think of
Speaker 4: when I saw that would normally cancel their neighbor out
Speaker 4: their neighbor had on a Trump or had a Trump
Speaker 4: sign up, or their family members out there that are saying,
Speaker 4: you know, I don't want to come to Christmas dinner
Speaker 4: because you supported Trump in some kind of way. Think
Speaker 4: of the pathology of the platforms that these left people
Speaker 4: you every day that each of their CEOs have personally
Speaker 4: donated a million dollars. As I stand here this morning
Speaker 4: to the inauguration of President elect Trump, and they are
Speaker 4: saying nothing about it. They're not saying they're canceling their
Speaker 4: Facebook posts or canceling their positions or their Google They're
Speaker 4: never going to use Google map ever again. They're saying,
Speaker 4: they're not saying I'm not going to shop on Amazon anymore.
Speaker 4: We're gonna boycott them. You hear nothing as the left
Speaker 4: voices of the Amazons, the facebooks now Meta, and Google
Speaker 4: are all lining up giving a million dollars apiece. And
Speaker 4: you will see this happen from the West coast as
Speaker 4: we get closer and closer to January twentieth. They are
Speaker 4: nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. And I'm connecting these
Speaker 4: dots because you got the guy out there on the
Speaker 4: farm who said on a bill of hay, on this
Speaker 4: round bil of hey saying hey, I support Trump, has
Speaker 4: no money in it other than their vote and their support.
Speaker 4: You've got these multi multi millionaires and billionaires who are
Speaker 4: giving millions of dollars to Trump now kissing the ring
Speaker 4: because he won the presidency even with all of the
Speaker 4: lives of their platform. And you hear crickets from the left.
Speaker 1: Well, Christopher really got my goat. I imagine I can
Speaker 1: hear it in the tone of your voice. But don't
Speaker 1: you think you know? And I don't know. I have
Speaker 1: no idea.
Speaker 3: But those companies that you mentioned, I bet probably contributed
Speaker 3: handsomely to Kamala Harris's campaign, probably more than the individual
Speaker 3: million dollar donations they're making for the inauguration. Do you
Speaker 3: think they're trying to buy some love for the Trump
Speaker 3: administration knowing full well that they might be investigated for
Speaker 3: elevating or deplatforming certain speech on their various sites.
Speaker 1: Christopher, I think.
Speaker 4: It's fair to call it political prostitution. Now, yeah, I do.
Speaker 4: I do, And and what insenses me is again the
Speaker 4: hypocrisy that they can go and give these millions of
Speaker 4: dollars and this won't be the only donation they made.
Speaker 4: Their packs were weigh in, like you were indicating, and
Speaker 4: they're going to come in with five and ten and
Speaker 4: fifteen million dollars paying off any debt that President elect
Speaker 4: Trump has. But you will not hear a word from
Speaker 4: the left. Now, what was also bizarre or what with
Speaker 4: this big win that's been kind of quiet on the
Speaker 4: media was this fifteen million dollars settlement from ABC. I
Speaker 4: think his name was Stephialoficis.
Speaker 1: I can't yopolis.
Speaker 4: Okay, So he said these comments during the election that
Speaker 4: Trump had raped somebody this case that he's appealing, and
Speaker 4: they had to pay not only fifteen million dollars to
Speaker 4: Trump as it relates to building his library, but they
Speaker 4: also had to pay you, as a lawyer, a million
Speaker 4: dollars of the legal fees that the Trump I Guess
Speaker 4: organization or he had to incur in order to suite.
Speaker 4: So this was sixteen million dollars that they have to
Speaker 4: fork out because of the lies that they were telling
Speaker 4: during the election. Look for more of this as we
Speaker 4: move forward. There will be more mainstream media that will
Speaker 4: have to write checks for things that they said along
Speaker 4: the election campaign that were absolutely live, and they're going
Speaker 4: to all continue to pay. But you don't hear the
Speaker 4: left talking about it. You don't hear the apologies about it.
Speaker 4: You know, this is when you're talking to your family
Speaker 4: over the college. Oh man, you know, Trump raped somebody?
Speaker 4: Trump did this, and goes, well, aren't you aware that
Speaker 4: that ABC was caught in a live saying that this
Speaker 4: is what he did and they had to pay fifteen
Speaker 4: million dollars and then one million for the legal fees,
Speaker 4: a total of sixteen million dollars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, I guess part of me has
Speaker 3: to observe and you can see this going all over.
Speaker 3: I mean, multiple articles have been written on it, multiple
Speaker 3: comments by Democrats trying to to sort of survey the
Speaker 3: landscape and realize, you know, how badly they lost to
Speaker 3: Donald Trump and what their message is going to be.
Speaker 3: The Democrat party message is going to be on a
Speaker 3: going forward basis, because clearly eight years of NonStop demonization
Speaker 3: of Donald Trump and woke ideology and DEI and wide
Speaker 3: open borders and massive inflation clearly did not help them
Speaker 3: an iota, notably defunding the police, decriminal decriminalizing drugs. They're
Speaker 3: all going to the back opposite direction. They don't know
Speaker 3: what their party stands for anymore because the direction the
Speaker 3: party was going was not palatable to the vast majority
Speaker 3: of Americans.
Speaker 4: And clearly, so many Catholics like myself and so many
Speaker 4: Christians like you and others have seen them attack people's
Speaker 4: religions openly over the last four to six years. And
Speaker 4: you saw so many Catholics, it didn't matter whether they
Speaker 4: were a Democrat or a Republican, reject the Democratic Party
Speaker 4: because of their rhetoric, the decisions, and the things. That's
Speaker 4: why people are saying, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Brian Thomas.
Speaker 4: I'm a Christian, I'm a Catholic. I'm happy, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 4: People are rejecting this neutrality around God. God can't be
Speaker 4: in the school. God can't We can't save the Pledge
Speaker 4: of Legiance in schools. People are waking up and rejecting
Speaker 4: it and reclaiming these basic common sense things in a
Speaker 4: society that make us orderly, that brings humility to our
Speaker 4: young people. Young people don't respect the flag because many
Speaker 4: of our school systems don't respect the flag.
Speaker 3: Well, they don't respect the flag and they promote this socialist,
Speaker 3: leftist ideology as well, which again people appear to be
Speaker 3: rejecting soundly any other component of it. Christopher, And maybe
Speaker 3: it's just me being overly optimistic. You say, you know,
Speaker 3: Merry Christmas to someone sometimes and there was a period
Speaker 3: that we've lived through now for quite some time, or
Speaker 3: if they get angry.
Speaker 1: Will do you use Marry Christmas? How do you know
Speaker 1: that I'm Christian?
Speaker 3: You know, I've put it up many times that that
Speaker 3: is a joyful wish to you. The person who gives
Speaker 3: you that greeting is in a celebratory mood over the
Speaker 3: holiday season and over their religion, and they're sharing the
Speaker 3: love that they get from that with you. Merry Christmas
Speaker 3: to you, whether or not you celebrated or not. It's
Speaker 3: a kind thing if someone If my Jewish friends, yes,
Speaker 3: if my Jewish friends wish me happy Hanukkah, you know
Speaker 3: what I feel really good about that. Thank you very
Speaker 3: much for including me in your celebration. That is a beautiful,
Speaker 3: friendly thing to do. So it's this division.
Speaker 14: Inclusion is actually inclusion, right, and your reactions should be
Speaker 14: one of embrace and thanks, not one of like woo,
Speaker 14: which you know.
Speaker 1: I think that's part of the problem. And I think
Speaker 1: that's what Americans are tired of.
Speaker 3: The fomenting of division on literally any topic that can
Speaker 3: come up with. And I do believe that that is
Speaker 3: largely fostered and in courage by outside forces like foreign governments.
Speaker 3: And this is not a conspiracy, because our own government
Speaker 3: has pointed out that the Chinese Communist Party, for example,
Speaker 3: has bot farms and computer scientists working twenty four hours
Speaker 3: a day, seven days a week to put out messages
Speaker 3: of division on social media. In our country, bots are
Speaker 3: producing messages that are angry and evil. When someone makes
Speaker 3: a comment like you get this artificial intelligence generated message
Speaker 3: countering what you're trying to sing in a really negative,
Speaker 3: mean way. That might not even be a real human being,
Speaker 3: But what does it serve. It serves their interest to
Speaker 3: divide the American people among themselves. And that's just I
Speaker 3: think the ultimate evil inherent in all of this. It
Speaker 3: allows the easy encouragement of division between us. It allows
Speaker 3: individual small quantities of folks. Going back to the people
Speaker 3: who are praising the murderer from New York, it makes
Speaker 3: them look like they have the majority opinion and that
Speaker 3: you're the wrong one because you don't share it with them.
Speaker 4: Makes no sense at all, none, no sense at all,
Speaker 4: Brian Thomas. Let me end by sharing with you this
Speaker 4: drone siasco, that it's happening at the White House, that
Speaker 4: the FBI, that National Security, no one knows where all
Speaker 4: these drones are coming from. Look and in a playful way,
Speaker 4: but very serious. Those drones are gonna fly over a
Speaker 4: community that really believe in the Second Amendment and really
Speaker 4: believe the country. They're gonna come down. Okay, they're gonna
Speaker 4: fly out in Montana or Idaho, or they're gonna come
Speaker 4: in Ohio over by a little little county called Preble County.
Speaker 4: And let me tell you, when they go across one
Speaker 4: of those counties like Preble County, I guarantee you we're
Speaker 4: gonna know where the where the drone is. That it's
Speaker 4: gonna be on a farm in their cornfield. Because they
Speaker 4: would have shot it down. And they don't have little guns, baby,
Speaker 4: They've got real stuff to bring a drone down, the
Speaker 4: size of a dog gone car or the or a
Speaker 4: dining room table. They're not gonna tolerate it. So when
Speaker 4: your when your government doesn't protect you, what happened is
Speaker 4: normal people take things into their own hands. And that's
Speaker 4: what the Constitution is all about in the Second Amendment
Speaker 4: is to protect us from our own government. And so
Speaker 4: the reality of it is a government is saying, I
Speaker 4: don't know what these are. They're just flying over your fields.
Speaker 4: They're just flying over your house, they're just flying over
Speaker 4: your military basis, and we don't have any information for you.
Speaker 4: When they fly over the right community, not New Jersey
Speaker 4: as an example where they don't have Second Amendment rights
Speaker 4: over there, they're gonna fly over the right dog on state,
Speaker 4: and I guarantee you we're gonna know everything we need
Speaker 4: to know about those drumas.
Speaker 1: It's so funny.
Speaker 3: Christophers, Chris Christy, the former governor Chris Christy from New Jersey,
Speaker 3: you said pretty much the same things. Listen, they're gonna
Speaker 3: be drone vigilantes and they will start taking them down.
Speaker 3: And why because nobody's telling us the truth about anything.
Speaker 3: You answer the questions, you give the American people the whole,
Speaker 3: cold heart, honest truth, and they be less inclined to
Speaker 3: do that, like, oh, those belong to the CIA. Okay,
Speaker 3: well we may have some problems, we might have to
Speaker 3: discuss that, but at least I know who they belong
Speaker 3: to right now.
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I was like, Scooby do you know? Scooby Doo is like,
Speaker 4: you know, Like, guy, you just were asked about these
Speaker 4: drones that are flying around the America over people's homes
Speaker 4: and over these very sensitive sights, and you're telling the
Speaker 4: whole world, we don't know anything about it, we don't
Speaker 4: have any information for you. And they're they're saying this
Speaker 4: to our congressional members. Fortunately, our mayors are taking it serious,
Speaker 4: saying no, no, no, But I just watch what happens
Speaker 4: over the next week or two. Americans are going to
Speaker 4: take this into their own hands. When the government is
Speaker 4: unwilling to protect, they will protect themselves. And they don't
Speaker 4: realize there are people out there that have serious weapons.
Speaker 4: I'm not talking about this little baby stuff that I have.
Speaker 4: Quite frankly, I'm talking serious stuff. They will light up
Speaker 4: the sky, bring the drone down, and drag it into
Speaker 4: their born and they'll be able to tell you everything
Speaker 4: you need to know about it.
Speaker 3: Just wait, all right, Well, the lawyer in me must
Speaker 3: immediately say, I agree with you that that's going to happen.
Speaker 3: I don't want my listeners to start doing that.
Speaker 1: That is illegal.
Speaker 3: So in spite of the fact that there are laws
Speaker 3: on the books, you and I both know people break them.
Speaker 3: Starting out with the story you started with this morning,
Speaker 3: Christopher Smithman, Great Smitherman, Love you brother. We'll talk again
Speaker 3: real soon.
Speaker 1: Great week five K City talk station.
Speaker 5: You got.
Speaker 3: TATO five here a fifty five R city talk station.
Speaker 3: Very happy Monday to you. It's that time of week.
Speaker 3: We always talk with all Worth Financials, Brian James, get
Speaker 3: some sound money advice, and apparently both of us gonna
Speaker 3: be flying by the seat of our pants today. Give
Speaker 3: me the absence of Joe Strekker. I guess we didn't
Speaker 3: have a coordinated list of topics. At least I didn't
Speaker 3: get on Brian, and Sean was talking to He said,
Speaker 3: you didn't have a list either, So let's just dive
Speaker 3: on into some things going on in the world, like,
Speaker 3: for example, the markets. Wow, we are looking at serious,
Speaker 3: serious records going on here. I can see dow Ja
Speaker 3: in futures are up right now forty four thousand, four
Speaker 3: and twenty nine s and P's at six thousand and
Speaker 3: sixty eight and as that twenty two thousand. Is this
Speaker 3: going to continue? And I know you can't t leaf
Speaker 3: read shelf into that. You probably would be so rich
Speaker 3: you could have retired a long time ago. But we've
Speaker 3: seen to be on a bit of a tear, which
Speaker 3: is great for everybody out there in the world's got
Speaker 3: a four to one care something invested in the markets.
Speaker 3: But the FED is also dealing with interest rates, So
Speaker 3: how are all are those connected in any way, shape
Speaker 3: or form. I nobody's talking about recession anymore, So where
Speaker 3: are we going with all this? Brian James, welcome back
Speaker 3: in a Happy.
Speaker 1: Monday to you.
Speaker 11: Happy Monday to you as well. This is going to
Speaker 11: be an interesting one, isn't it. We'll just wing it
Speaker 11: and we'll make it on charm.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 8: So yeah, crazy markets and there's always something to talk about.
Speaker 11: So that's put me in a room and a full
Speaker 11: of people who would have to listen to me, and
Speaker 11: I'll make you anyway. The markets have been absolutely crazy
Speaker 11: this year and really for two years now. There there
Speaker 11: are reasons for that, and there are things where you
Speaker 11: kind of go, huh, so the actual market or reasons there,
Speaker 11: there's there's business out there coming out of a lot
Speaker 11: of catalysts. So artificial intelligence is a huge thing. We
Speaker 11: seems like that dropped out of the sky about two
Speaker 11: years ago. Uh you know when chat GPT first went
Speaker 11: live and people realized that it could have it could
Speaker 11: have a you know, an actual conversation with them, and
Speaker 11: not only that, but but come up with conclusions on
Speaker 11: its own and help people solve problems.
Speaker 8: So that there's been a huge boom there.
Speaker 11: And the story behind that, or the darling stock of
Speaker 11: that movement is in Nvidia, which is known historically for
Speaker 11: being more in the graphics market, the video game space
Speaker 11: and the computer aided designs.
Speaker 8: Yeah and all that, But the technology that.
Speaker 11: Escapes me is why I don't know exactly why we
Speaker 11: need video chips to do artificial intelligence.
Speaker 1: But we do.
Speaker 11: So that's just but the point is that's catalyst. That
Speaker 11: is something that a lot of industries have seen as hey,
Speaker 11: this could make it make it easier to do business,
Speaker 11: it could make it you could expand our profit margin,
Speaker 11: and so on and so forth. So that's one of
Speaker 11: the major catalysts that have moved the market forward. It's
Speaker 11: not just the companies like Nvidia, it's the companies out
Speaker 11: there who have nothing to do with it directly but
Speaker 11: are benefiting from it as a technology.
Speaker 3: Okay, and I get that, But see the concern I have,
Speaker 3: and I'm not the only one to have expressed this.
Speaker 3: There will be this period of time where we are
Speaker 3: building this artificial intelligence structure. Apparently that takes all kinds
Speaker 3: of computer technology and lots of energy, and we can
Speaker 3: get to energy policy here in a moment as well.
Speaker 3: But you know, people are going to be building and
Speaker 3: developing and creating. But the net impact of artificial intelligence,
Speaker 3: it seems to me, is to eliminate a lot of
Speaker 3: employment because it is so capable of processing data coming
Speaker 3: up with these conclusions. Things that human beings used to do,
Speaker 3: or at least currently are doing, that AI might take
Speaker 3: away from them because what it is capable of performing.
Speaker 11: You know, I think this might be when we worried
Speaker 11: thirty years ago about there being actual robots and things
Speaker 11: taking over jobs.
Speaker 8: That's happening too. We see those videos all the time.
Speaker 11: But I think this might be a bigger movement since
Speaker 11: so much so much as information based and not physically based. Right,
Speaker 11: we don't employ employ nearly as many people in factories
Speaker 11: anymore as we do in that kind of that information sharing,
Speaker 11: you know, in intelligence kind of space. But if you
Speaker 11: look at the industries that have benefited most from it,
Speaker 11: here's what's happening out there. Maybe some of you have
Speaker 11: seen this, you know, as you're interacting going through your
Speaker 11: normal day. So in the healthcare healthcare space, AI is
Speaker 11: being used to improve diagnostics, actually personalizing treatment plans. It's
Speaker 11: you know, it's the personalizing part that's a little rattling there,
Speaker 11: because I'm talking to a computer about my personal treatment
Speaker 11: plans and also picking up on drug discovery. There's out there,
Speaker 11: are algorithms out there or they're now looking at medical
Speaker 11: images and predicting patient outcomes and actually being involved in
Speaker 11: the surgeries themselves. So and you may have seen this,
Speaker 11: you know, doctors are starting to tell their patients because
Speaker 11: I'm hearing this literally from my clients that they turned
Speaker 11: on some kind of thing in the room, and it
Speaker 11: was listening to our conversation, and it kept track of
Speaker 11: the notes in the kid and it gave some some
Speaker 11: It gave the doctor some research on possible prescriptions and
Speaker 11: so forth. So that's a big place that we're starting
Speaker 11: to see AI surface. And yet there's somebody out there
Speaker 11: who probably needs to be thinking about their next move
Speaker 11: if they if their job is going to go.
Speaker 1: To a computer. Well, and I think you make an
Speaker 1: excellent point on that.
Speaker 3: If you have enough data about an individual, and you know,
Speaker 3: we can talk all day long about how much data
Speaker 3: gathering there is out there. We do that with Tech
Speaker 3: Friday's Dave Hatter every week, But you gather enough day
Speaker 3: about an individual. I always worry about the adequacy of
Speaker 3: medical school these days, because you know, you have all
Speaker 3: this woke training and all this training that seems to
Speaker 3: have absolutely nothing to do with teaching young people doctors.
Speaker 3: To become great diagnosticians, you had to have a smart
Speaker 3: doctor who had his or or her, you know, fingers
Speaker 3: on the pulse of modern medicine. Read journals of American medicine,
Speaker 3: articles that come out new technology, and all that can
Speaker 3: be done probably more officially and more smartly or taking
Speaker 3: into account all the information we have by artificial intelligence,
Speaker 3: meaning you're probably going to end up with a better
Speaker 3: medical diagnosis and may end up reducing some of the
Speaker 3: need for physicians out there, or licensed physicians at least
Speaker 3: along the traditional lines.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think.
Speaker 11: I think the places where it's going to be most
Speaker 11: impactful is places that kind of pretty religiously follow a
Speaker 11: flow chart, where where where decisions don't have to be
Speaker 11: made on the fly. In other words, it's about sussing
Speaker 11: out the symptoms and you know understanding, you know that
Speaker 11: when a happens, we always do b I think things
Speaker 11: like that. There's always going to be a place, I
Speaker 11: think for for human interactions in terms of anywhere where
Speaker 11: people might get scared. So on one hand, you know,
Speaker 11: we see this a little bit on the in the
Speaker 11: financial service industry, where there's I remember seeing that my
Speaker 11: career was being threatened all the way back in the
Speaker 11: nineties when it was all about no load mutual funds
Speaker 11: and that's all anybody needed. And then it became about
Speaker 11: exchange traded funds and manage money and all these different things.
Speaker 11: But what none of those services I've ever been able
Speaker 11: to provide is a shoulder.
Speaker 8: To cry on. So if there's an industry where there
Speaker 8: is a.
Speaker 11: Human element that I think it's going to be an
Speaker 11: awful long time before people will completely throw their trust
Speaker 11: into a machine. Now that versus a factory or something
Speaker 11: that's producing hard assets.
Speaker 8: That's very, very different.
Speaker 11: But again, you know, where there's a human element, there's
Speaker 11: always going to be a need for humans.
Speaker 3: I think, right, and you've commented many times you're more
Speaker 3: of a counselor or a psychologist.
Speaker 8: Completely unlicensed by the way, Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3: I always joke about when I see my physician, we
Speaker 3: end up end up having these long winded political conversations.
Speaker 3: I always call myself his therapist and wonder why he
Speaker 3: shouldn't be paying me, or at least we could call
Speaker 3: it a wash. I get free medical care, he gets
Speaker 3: my consultation on matters political, but artificial intelligent. Also in
Speaker 3: the financial industry, it's been around for a long time.
Speaker 3: Computers crunching the numbers and doing the projections and the
Speaker 3: strategies on where money can be invested. But also that
Speaker 3: idea of real time. You know, look at the spikes
Speaker 3: sell right when it spikes, it's all instantaneous and computers
Speaker 3: can do nothing but assist and guide and make that
Speaker 3: even more efficient. Leaving, I would argue the kind of
Speaker 3: guys that are sitting around staring at a computer screen
Speaker 3: trying to get it on the fly to a substantial
Speaker 3: disadvantage unless they can tap into AI.
Speaker 11: Yeah, and it's the speed there, because when you're talking
Speaker 11: about the high frequency day traders and things like that,
Speaker 11: it's all about speed.
Speaker 8: It's not about finding the idea. Finding the idea is
Speaker 8: hard enough in that.
Speaker 11: Space, but it's getting it executed quickly before some computer
Speaker 11: who is ten steps ahead of you.
Speaker 8: Has done it. That that's the challenge there. So yeah,
Speaker 8: we've seen.
Speaker 11: Algorithmic trading has been around for a long time. They
Speaker 11: look market trends and historical data and to make those
Speaker 11: trading decisions.
Speaker 8: But again, it's all about speed. We never call that AI.
Speaker 8: That's basically what it is. Also what we're seeing too
Speaker 8: is there.
Speaker 11: Of course, all banks every day are fending off fraudulent
Speaker 11: attacks to try to break into people checking and savings accounts.
Speaker 11: So that's not a you know, if you hear from
Speaker 11: your bank that we think we got hacked, that's not
Speaker 11: a one off. That's happening literally all day I've been
Speaker 11: I've been employed by places where I was able to
Speaker 11: watch the screen blink on and off as it was
Speaker 11: catching all these attacks from all over the planet.
Speaker 8: So that used to be to some extent.
Speaker 11: Still is a bunch of people sitting in front of
Speaker 11: a computer watching for things, but that is rapidly getting
Speaker 11: replaced by computers watching computers to figure out what we're doing.
Speaker 1: Again.
Speaker 11: That's so that's all AI risk management is out there.
Speaker 11: AI models are being used to predict those risks by
Speaker 11: looking a huge amount of data. And that has to
Speaker 11: do with if you'r if risk management has to do
Speaker 11: with if you're a bank and you're lending money to
Speaker 11: a business, well, here's a bazillion financial.
Speaker 8: Data points about them.
Speaker 11: Where's the risk. That's something that we've done a lot
Speaker 11: more quickly by computer nowadays than than than an individual person.
Speaker 8: And everybody knows. Of course.
Speaker 11: On the customer service side, we're surrounded by these AI
Speaker 11: chatbots and these Every website you go to has a
Speaker 11: has a good looking person down on the bottom right
Speaker 11: corner with a headset on, and I guarantee you you're
Speaker 11: not talking to that person.
Speaker 8: There's not even a human being behind it.
Speaker 11: But every website seems to offer that nowadays. In terms
Speaker 11: of these uh, these AI chatbots, which.
Speaker 8: They're they're not great, but they're better than they were
Speaker 8: three years ago. But I don't know about you.
Speaker 11: It still it still takes me one or two questions
Speaker 11: and I go, yeah, I need to type the word
Speaker 11: representative over and over again until I know I get
Speaker 11: a human.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But insofar as ferreting out the fraud and abuse and
Speaker 3: efforts to crack into bank accounts, I suppose it's a
Speaker 3: good thing we have AI on our side, considering how
Speaker 3: often that happens and the multitude of those attacks that come.
Speaker 1: In every day.
Speaker 11: Yeah, and that's another uh, we'll take all the help
Speaker 11: we can get there. That's another place where people are
Speaker 11: I don't want to say unnecessarily concerned, because that's that'll
Speaker 11: never be the case with regard financial fraud. But I
Speaker 11: do think it is something that is a lot more
Speaker 11: talked about than actually occurs. You and I phrase it
Speaker 11: like this, if somebody was losing money out of their
Speaker 11: fifth third checking account on the regular because somebody had
Speaker 11: hacked into their to their you know, to the fifth
Speaker 11: third mainframe system was yanking money from everywhere that would
Speaker 11: make headlines. So normally, when when somebody's account gets hacked,
Speaker 11: I mean, this is sort of anecdotal. I'm not an
Speaker 11: industry expert on this, but when I actually hear about
Speaker 11: it happening to a client or their family member or whatever,
Speaker 11: it's almost always traced back to some individual person who
Speaker 11: knew that person socially and got a hold.
Speaker 8: Of their passwords.
Speaker 3: Fishing in that kind of thing, right, Yeah, and that's
Speaker 3: where Dave had Yeah, that's where Dave Hadter comes in
Speaker 3: every Friday, because he is constantly warning us about the
Speaker 3: pitfalls and that we will actually invite on ourselves by
Speaker 3: not being a little more more careful about what we
Speaker 3: click on. So let's pause, We'll bring Brian James back.
Speaker 3: I've got a couple more questions to ask him, not
Speaker 3: only about some about retail and it being Christmas season.
Speaker 3: One more with Muny Monday's Brian James is age sixteen
Speaker 3: right now fift about Carscity Talks Station Money, A twenty
Speaker 3: three fift about Krio City Talk Station Brian Twins with
Speaker 3: all were financials. Brian James doing Money Monday. And even
Speaker 3: though we lacked topics, there's a million, multitude of things
Speaker 3: we can always talk about. One, it looks like the
Speaker 3: Fed's going to be cutting interest rates on Wednesday. They're
Speaker 3: trying to suggest that that perhaps they're more aggressive cutting
Speaker 3: of rates probably won't happen, from at least what I've read,
Speaker 3: because there's that pesky inflation word that's still looming around.
Speaker 3: What's your expectation, Brian James, Yeah, so what we.
Speaker 11: Were expecting there is we're looking for the overall opinion
Speaker 11: of the Fed right now, is it really, really, really
Speaker 11: super wants to get interest rates down, But like you said,
Speaker 11: inflation is just not quite cooperating. We're not where we were,
Speaker 11: you know, two years ago, where inflation was at nine percent.
Speaker 11: We were all talking about different types of investments we
Speaker 11: hadn't talked about in thirty years, and then that kind
Speaker 11: of came and went, and we've come all the way
Speaker 11: back down.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 8: The Fed really wants to get it down in the.
Speaker 11: Two percent range, and we're right around three, which is
Speaker 11: not bad, and it enables us to kind of get
Speaker 11: back on our feet, and that's that's really that's a
Speaker 11: decent amount of the reason for the market doing what
Speaker 11: it's done over the last couple of years, because that
Speaker 11: allows the economy to get back on its feet, not
Speaker 11: where we want to be, but definitely trending in the
Speaker 11: right direction. However, in the shorter run, we don't want
Speaker 11: to they don't want to cut anymore just yet, because
Speaker 11: it could it could easily bring in place in roaring
Speaker 11: right back if we get to a tipping point and
Speaker 11: we happen to discover that all of a sudden, businesses
Speaker 11: want to borrow a bunch of money at cheaper rates
Speaker 11: and uh and which ultimately results in higher prices usually,
Speaker 11: which is end place.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you got to remember the fat also borrows
Speaker 3: money too, and that's where a national debt comes from.
Speaker 3: And they're borrowing at a higher rate. That means our
Speaker 3: credit card bills higher, and the uh, well, amount of
Speaker 3: money that gets taken out of the tax payer dollars
Speaker 3: to cover it is bigger and bigger every year, fast
Speaker 3: approaching at trillion dollars a year, which is scary stuff.
Speaker 3: Let's just run a little wrong rather than taking you.
Speaker 3: In the next segment, I saw Macy's was going to
Speaker 3: be cutting its stores down to like three fifty within
Speaker 3: the next two years. In two thousand and eight, they
Speaker 3: had eleven hundred stores, and they project by I think
Speaker 3: it was twenty twenty five that they'd only had three
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty box stores left. That's just that's a
Speaker 3: reality that just is not going to change, is it,
Speaker 3: Because well, everyone apparently is buying online these days.
Speaker 8: Yes.
Speaker 11: Actually I was reading about that this morning, on the
Speaker 11: topic of shopping online. So I was curious because in
Speaker 11: twenty twenty we were all everybody knew what the internet was,
Speaker 11: we all had mobile devices and all that stuff. But
Speaker 11: in twenty twenty we were told we couldn't leave our houses.
Speaker 11: That was the first year where we were still figuring
Speaker 11: that out. So that year, twenty six percent of all
Speaker 11: holiday retail sales occurred online. That doesn't sound too shocking.
Speaker 11: My assumption, though, Brian, was that that was a spike
Speaker 11: because obviously we weren't supposed to leave in our houses
Speaker 11: back then, and a lot of people adhere to that.
Speaker 11: So in twenty twenty four, though, online shopping is expected
Speaker 11: to account for about thirty percent this time around.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so it was always there as a of course,
Speaker 8: We've been doing that for a long time now.
Speaker 4: That's not a shock.
Speaker 11: But to me, the fact that are the worldwide pandemic
Speaker 11: from four years ago is still is not keeping up
Speaker 11: currently with what is happening online now.
Speaker 8: That's interesting to me. That does seem like a like
Speaker 8: a pivot.
Speaker 11: Point that's been there, and to your point, that's why
Speaker 11: Macy's is doing what it's doing. Macy's is not known
Speaker 11: for their online presence, and to be honest, if you've
Speaker 11: been into Macy's store lately, they've been looking a little
Speaker 11: bit down in the dumps. They're not exactly the welcoming
Speaker 11: queen spaces that they were once known.
Speaker 3: Right well, and you know, honestly, I know Northstroom is expensive,
Speaker 3: but you know, there was a time when that was
Speaker 3: the best place to go if you had to buy
Speaker 3: a suit because they had some really great selections of
Speaker 3: quality suits. Well they had to have anything on the
Speaker 3: rack anymore. There You order it online basically through their
Speaker 3: you know, the north Strom site, And I don't know,
Speaker 3: that's frustrating for me because I want to see and
Speaker 3: feel and touch and try on and I hate the
Speaker 3: idea of ordering something with the idea that you're going
Speaker 3: to have to return it anyhow. Pivoting over, I wanted
Speaker 3: to ask you about what we can expect and I
Speaker 3: know Trump can only do so much and so far
Speaker 3: as energy policies are concerned, But considering he has an
Speaker 3: all the above energy strategy, at least that's what he's projected,
Speaker 3: does that suggest perhaps maybe a different market shift, that
Speaker 3: maybe just maybe investing in green projects won't be in
Speaker 3: vogue as much before. Maybe there'll be fewer tax dollars
Speaker 3: supporting these projects, and maybe gas and oil would roar
Speaker 3: back and perhaps even lower the cost of our goods
Speaker 3: because everything gets still gets shipped by tractor trailers with diesel.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think that's going to be a great space
Speaker 11: to look at in terms of where the economic productivity
Speaker 11: and the profit margin is going to come from. At
Speaker 11: the end of the day, every industry is worried about
Speaker 11: profit margin.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 11: No matter what product you sell, you want to sell
Speaker 11: it for a good for a good high price, and
Speaker 11: you want to you want to create it as cheaply
Speaker 11: as you possibly can. The difference between those two numbers is,
Speaker 11: of course, profit margins. So where where this administration can
Speaker 11: have an impact on that, of course, is if we
Speaker 11: can produce energy more cheaply, then that should benefit everybody
Speaker 11: across the line. It does require some sacrifices, of course,
Speaker 11: of some socio political goals that other groups have had.
Speaker 8: But that group is not in power anymore.
Speaker 11: So that's the sacrifice that would be made, and hopefully
Speaker 11: it will. And I have a feeling what's going to
Speaker 11: happen is we're going to be a lot louder about that.
Speaker 11: Whatever gains we get on reducing the cost of creating
Speaker 11: goods and services is going to probably be a lot
Speaker 11: louder than the impact of the tariffs are going to be.
Speaker 11: I think we're going to try to brush that the
Speaker 11: under the rug, because there's no way to put tariffs
Speaker 11: against an industry and not have it raised prices. So
Speaker 11: hopefully they'll be able to offset that by reducing the
Speaker 11: cost of energy, and I think the goal is reducing
Speaker 11: the cost of energy.
Speaker 8: Among those things.
Speaker 11: The goal is to put the US in a stronger position.
Speaker 11: But that's not just one lever you got to push.
Speaker 11: There's bells and whistles and buttons and levers and all
Speaker 11: kinds of different things that have to coordinate to make
Speaker 11: that successful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, clear is one area that I've been really, really really.
Speaker 3: Hopeful on one because it doesn't produce carbon, so you
Speaker 3: can't complain about it. It produces abundance of electricity. Modern
Speaker 3: nuclear plants are a lot smaller. They can be used
Speaker 3: uniformally sort of modular, so one size fits all. You
Speaker 3: don't have to create a brand new design every time
Speaker 3: you build one, which is a lot of where billions
Speaker 3: of dollars go in the regulatory system kicks in. So
Speaker 3: I saw a glimmer of hope that a company like
Speaker 3: Alphabet could consider buying and building its own modular nuclear
Speaker 3: plants to serve its own artificial intelligence needs. Hell, if
Speaker 3: they're willing to pay for it, the government's not going
Speaker 3: to stand away from it. It's not a public private
Speaker 3: utility combo where the taxpayers are stuck with this. I
Speaker 3: just see that there's a real potential there to make
Speaker 3: some progress and we'll have an abundance of less expensive
Speaker 3: nuclear power with no complaining about carbon.
Speaker 11: So I think there's a lot of hope for that
Speaker 11: because obviously there's a pivot point here. We've just had
Speaker 11: a major swing of course politically in this country. So
Speaker 11: the income President Trump has shown some support for nuclear energy,
Speaker 11: but he's still got some nuance in his.
Speaker 8: Nuances to his dance during his first.
Speaker 11: Term, he actually did put some pro nuclear policies in place,
Speaker 11: such as there were billions of loan guarantees for things
Speaker 11: for nuclear projects. And as you mentioned, he's got on
Speaker 11: all of the above energy policy, meaning if it's out
Speaker 11: there and you can create energy, and we can do
Speaker 11: it inside this country, then we should do it.
Speaker 8: That's what's been spoken.
Speaker 11: He hasn't set a ton about this coming up for
Speaker 11: what he's going to do in his second term, but
Speaker 11: so he's promised to approve some new reactors, but he's
Speaker 11: also at the same side expressed some skepticism for whether
Speaker 11: the federal government should back those in the first place. Now,
Speaker 11: what's interesting You mentioned Google's kicking around the idea, and
Speaker 11: they're not the only ones or Alphabet. Rather, they're kicking
Speaker 11: around the idea of building their own power sources for
Speaker 11: some of the projects that they have. And the other
Speaker 11: thing that I've noticed recently is Alphabet among other companies
Speaker 11: very recently over the last two weeks, have been throwing
Speaker 11: lots of money into President Trump's and augur So, so
Speaker 11: I'm just thinking that they're trying to butter the skids. Yeah,
Speaker 11: they want to benefit small We talk about all the time,
Speaker 11: how companies are not political.
Speaker 8: You're seeing this in real time.
Speaker 11: The messaging prior to now is that technology is surt
Speaker 11: of anti republican and more left leaning. We'll look at
Speaker 11: the money come screaming into the inaugural campaign of the
Speaker 11: most right leaning posi politician we've had in the history
Speaker 11: of the country.
Speaker 3: Like you always like to point out, you know, companies
Speaker 3: work within the environment that they are stuck in. And yes,
Speaker 3: giving to Donald Trump's inauguration campaign. Make grease the skids,
Speaker 3: Brian James, all were financial. Appreciate them loaning you out
Speaker 3: every Monday for a nice conversation about money. Hey, we
Speaker 3: managed to do it on the fly today, Brian, I
Speaker 3: appreciate that. Look forward to next Monday and another edition
Speaker 3: of Money Monday. Have a great week, my friend.
Speaker 8: Yes, Sarah, we'll talk you in a week.
Speaker 3: Eight thirty one fifty five krs dogs Agent went really long,
Speaker 3: using up the time for local stories. I'll be right
Speaker 3: back after these brief words.
Speaker 1: Fifty five krc KA City talk station.
Speaker 3: Fund lines are up and if you have a comment
Speaker 3: five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty five hundred, eight
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty two three talk fifty on at and
Speaker 3: t phones interesting developments going on. Just the other day,
Speaker 3: there was an argument for the Supreme Court about transgender
Speaker 3: treatment for adolescents us versus SCURMETI. It involves the Tennessee
Speaker 3: ban on transgender treatments for adolescents children under the age
Speaker 3: of eighteen. I embraced that all day long, because you
Speaker 3: know what, think about what life was like when you
Speaker 3: were eleven or twelve. I don't know if you remember that,
Speaker 3: but talk to an eleven or twelve year old and
Speaker 3: tell me if you really do believe that they had
Speaker 3: the capacity to understand the future, the reality of their
Speaker 3: puberty and their sexual transition from pre pubescent to post pubescent,
Speaker 3: their exposure to things sexual. Although I know it's far
Speaker 3: more pervasive given the just the absolute unbelievable volume of
Speaker 3: pornography that's out there on the Internet these days, but
Speaker 3: they the argument was nonetheless made, and I note that
Speaker 3: the timing couldn't have been more interesting, since the United
Speaker 3: Kingdom just last week permanently banned the use of puberty
Speaker 3: blocking hormones for almost everyone under the age of eighteen,
Speaker 3: which extends a temporary ban that was imposed in May
Speaker 3: by their National Health Service. So no more prescriptions for
Speaker 3: puberty blockers for young people like that, they recommend therapy
Speaker 3: and other ways of working around and let's wait around
Speaker 3: to see, you know, when they get to be actual adults,
Speaker 3: before we start doing things that could have lasting, irreversible impacts.
Speaker 3: And that's exactly with this young lady, Clementine Brown. She
Speaker 3: actually filed a civil lawsuit. She's now a twenty year
Speaker 3: student at University of California, Los Angeles. She claims that
Speaker 3: she well was basically I will call it abused, according
Speaker 3: to the lawsuit that she filed against the Center for
Speaker 3: Transgender Healthal and Development at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, as
Speaker 3: well as I believe the doctor's there. And this is
Speaker 3: such a sad, sad thing to read about. The complaint
Speaker 3: says around the age of eleven or twelve, likely do
Speaker 3: it least in part to this sexual abuse she experienced
Speaker 3: as a young child. She started having some struggles with
Speaker 3: the thought of developing into a woman and began to
Speaker 3: believe that life would be easier if she were a boy.
Speaker 3: And you know, put that in context and just think
Speaker 3: about that for a moment. She's a young girl that
Speaker 3: experienced the horror of sexual abuse don't you think that
Speaker 3: might have a profound impact on her psychologically and that,
Speaker 3: oh my god, if I was a boy, this never
Speaker 3: would have happened to me. That's not to say that
Speaker 3: young boys don't get molested as well, but you can
Speaker 3: see in the context of this particular case that might
Speaker 3: very well be the case.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 3: So again the complaints begin str ugging with the thought
Speaker 3: of developing and will begin to believe that their life
Speaker 3: of you here is issue were a boy. According to lawsuits,
Speaker 3: her parents decided to take her to this Center for
Speaker 3: Transgender Youth Health and Development at Children's Hospital LA. At
Speaker 3: the very first consultation, again according to the complaint, the
Speaker 3: facts in the law it will all come out, the doctor,
Speaker 3: in the words of the complaint, immediately and unquestionably, unquestioningly
Speaker 3: affirmed Clementine as transgender and recommended again the first consultation
Speaker 3: recommended surgical implantation and puberty blockers. So for those out
Speaker 3: there getting a hormone replacement therapy, you know, adults, that
Speaker 3: would be the exact same thing pellots to you know,
Speaker 3: block puberty. Recommending the surgical implantation and then bringing miss
Speaker 3: breeing the plane of Clementine elligis misrepresentations were used in
Speaker 3: her words and the complaint to convince her parents to
Speaker 3: agree that puberty blockers are completely reversible and that she
Speaker 3: would commit suicide if she did not begin taking testosterone. Now,
Speaker 3: what doctor out there could definitively determine this young lady's
Speaker 3: future would involve her committing suicide absent taking testosterone the
Speaker 3: magic bullet to stop her from committing suicide, But according
Speaker 3: to the complaint, I didn't. Identifying as a boy didn't
Speaker 3: bring any relief. She spiraled into depression, psychosis, and yes,
Speaker 3: even attempted suicide. After these hormone blockers are put in
Speaker 3: as journal reports. Eventually the new mental health care and
Speaker 3: natural dessistance of gender dysphoria as one of the progresses
Speaker 3: into adulthood, she realized, hey, in fact, she was not transgender.
Speaker 3: Yet her body, in the come words of the complaint,
Speaker 3: had been profoundly damaged in ways that can never be repaired.
Speaker 3: Now suing her physicians and her their institutions in state
Speaker 3: court citing patient privacy, the hospital did in the same thing.
Speaker 3: The Center for Transgender Health and Development and Children's Hospital
Speaker 3: Los Angeles has provided high quality, age appropriate, medically necessary
Speaker 3: care for more than thirty years, they said, based on
Speaker 3: guidelines from professional organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Speaker 3: The surgeon who Breen said performed the double mass sectomy
Speaker 3: said something similar quote, our robust processes and protocols are
Speaker 3: designed to ensure that patients navigating our services fully understand
Speaker 3: the implications of the gender affirm and procedures they may
Speaker 3: choose to undergo, fully understand at this young age, fully
Speaker 3: understand the ramifications of having a double mass sectomy and
Speaker 3: going on auberty blockers. So this will all be worked
Speaker 3: out in court. But I have no problem waiting until
Speaker 3: the age of eighteen. In a matter of fact, you know,
Speaker 3: maybe even at eighteen, this isn't the right path for anyone.
Speaker 3: This is such a sort of new concept. But lopping
Speaker 3: things off and sewing things on when it can't be
Speaker 3: undone and you will not, I am certain from everything
Speaker 3: I've read. If you lopped it off and you have
Speaker 3: sewed something new or sewed something new on, you're not
Speaker 3: going to experience the same thing that the real biological
Speaker 3: god given genitalia are going to provide you. At least
Speaker 3: it matters sexual and they also come along with some
Speaker 3: profound medical challenges. I just really hope that someday, and
Speaker 3: I hope it someday very soon, that we'll look back
Speaker 3: at this period in history and say, oh my god,
Speaker 3: what were we thinking? This all reminds me of some
Speaker 3: evil story that of Joseph Mengele's department within the Nazi Party.
Speaker 3: These poor children, Yes, get therapy, Please have conversations. Yes,
Speaker 3: engage in a thoughtful communication with your child and remind
Speaker 3: them regularly.
Speaker 4: And I'm no.
Speaker 3: Psychiatrists or psychologists, and i don't play one on radio.
Speaker 3: I'm just thinking along the lines of common sense and
Speaker 3: all of the difficult conversations that my parents had to
Speaker 3: have with me about the world's problems and matters that
Speaker 3: you will face and how to deal with them and
Speaker 3: cope with them. Life ain't perfect, you know, there are
Speaker 3: going to be challenges in life. But this type of
Speaker 3: literal experimentation on young people at this young age is
Speaker 3: just to me bile inspiring in the back of my

Speaker 3: But I also did see that Chinese have launched one
Speaker 3: of the largest, if not the largest military exercises outside
Speaker 3: of Taiwan, which to me is extraordinarily frightening, particularly given
Speaker 3: the Biden administration.
Speaker 1: It's got, you know, six weeks left in it.
Speaker 3: Worried that they might take advantage of that before Donald
Speaker 3: Trump becomes president, and lord on, I don't think Donald
Speaker 3: Trump's came laying hands on the situation and ending the

Speaker 3: the phones to what Evelyn's got. Evelyn, thanks for calling
Speaker 3: this morning.
Speaker 12: Happy Monday to you, oh you Tobe, Brian, and thank
Speaker 12: you so much for what you just explained. With this
Speaker 12: transgender medical evil, it's like the Nazi doctors. Absolutely, and
Speaker 12: people get.
Speaker 16: Hooked into this psychobabble. I mean, all our lives, there
Speaker 16: are issues that we worry about and try to resolve somehow.
Speaker 16: But if you get talked into having parts of yourself
Speaker 16: changed or removed, it's just so evil. So thank you again.
Speaker 1: Oh well, I was.
Speaker 3: Happy to do it, Evelyn and the other common sense
Speaker 3: point on this. And you know, anybody can believe what
Speaker 3: they want. This is why I always say, listen, I'm
Speaker 3: a little ull. You know what, if you believe yourself
Speaker 3: to be the sex that you're not born with chromosomally,
Speaker 3: I don't care. I can live with a world with
Speaker 3: people out there that believe that. You can't make me
Speaker 3: buy it. And what bothers me is this concept of
Speaker 3: just taking people at their word and then saying they
Speaker 3: are indeed a woman or a man when they were
Speaker 3: not biologically born that way. That's where you that's where
Speaker 3: you take that left turn into into la la way,
Speaker 3: Like wait what that doesn't change the chromosomal reality. Mainly
Speaker 3: because some person says I believe I am a woman, Fine,
Speaker 3: you believe you are.
Speaker 1: I accept that.
Speaker 3: And if you want to get psychological counseling or talk
Speaker 3: to somebody about it or a therapist, fine, you know
Speaker 3: that's great, but you're never gonna change your chromosomeal reality.
Speaker 3: You look down, you got a twig and berries, and
Speaker 3: that's what you were born with. You know that is
Speaker 3: a fact, Jack, And it's saying that you're not doesn't
Speaker 3: make it go away. And in the reality of the world,
Speaker 3: lopping it off and reversing it or whatever doesn't change
Speaker 3: the biological reality or chromosome reality either. It's just you've
Speaker 3: just removed something like a wart. I don't get it.
Speaker 3: I don't get it. I don't understand it. And the
Speaker 3: enabling of that by the medical community, surgeons embracing that
Speaker 3: as a concept, and again for eleven or twelve year
Speaker 3: old who does not have any concept of what tomorrow
Speaker 3: will bring, let alone post puberty into their adult relationships
Speaker 3: and lives, I just don't understand it, and I can't abide.
Speaker 3: And that's what I'm allowed to do because this is
Speaker 3: me living my life and expressing my opinion. You can
Speaker 3: disagree with it, you can agree with it, you can
Speaker 3: have something somewhere in between. That's cool as long as
Speaker 3: we engage in a thoughtful debate about it. And they've
Speaker 3: been engaging in a thoughtful debit about this in Europe
Speaker 3: now for a long time too. And Britain just banned
Speaker 3: it from happening. And they are not the first European
Speaker 3: nation to do that. Swedes have already banned. There are
Speaker 3: other countries out there that, in their medical wisdom and
Speaker 3: in their learned opinions, have decided this is not an
Speaker 3: acceptable path. And so that's where I am on it,
Speaker 3: and I'm pleased to see that they've done it. Tennessee's
Speaker 3: done the same thing.
Speaker 1: Let them.
Speaker 3: And you know what, if California wants to go a
Speaker 3: different direction, that's fine. No one's forcing you to do
Speaker 3: any of it. But I think, in the name of
Speaker 3: protecting the interest of the you know fully unmolded, not
Speaker 3: fully bake hearts and minds of children, at least take
Speaker 3: a pause, at least allow them to become adults where
Speaker 3: they are free, as adults in a free society, to
Speaker 3: make their own choices in life. A fifty five if
