WEBVTT 1 00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:11.800 Five o five, a fifty five k r c DE 2 00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:12.480 talk station. 3 00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:28.480 Happy Monday, Vation. 4 00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:32.640 No ideals, don you do? I perfect way to start 5 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:34.960 off a Monday, Joss Trekker check your producer of the program, 6 00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:36.840 Jos Traker. My name is Brian Thomass to the fifty 7 00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:41.119 five KRSE Morning Show. Appreciate you tuning in and uh, 8 00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:43.640 good morning here on a Monday. Coming up six oh 9 00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:47.479 five in studio George Brennaman. George a very wonderful guy. 10 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:52.840 It's got a whole lot to talk about this morning. 11 00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:55.640 One of the things we'll be talking about is Restore 12 00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.240 Wellness dot Org. It's a new uh thing that he 13 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:03.320 has created along with the doctor. George a retired engineer 14 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.439 with a forty year record of innovation and electronic controls 15 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:11.239 and artificial intelligences, been getting involved with community advocacy for 16 00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:14.760 I've had a decade plus more than that. Even he's 17 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.040 led a bunch of efforts here in the Southwest Ohio region, 18 00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:21.040 been on my program a bunch of times. Restore Wellness 19 00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:23.319 dot Org the result of a deep die, they say, 20 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.560 in pursuit of personal health and better understanding of the 21 00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:29.680 chronic illness epidemic. So he's relied on some learning treatises 22 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.599 and textbooks and the well the help and support of 23 00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:43.599 Keith kenhunt Field, a student of both conventional alternative therapy, 24 00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:45.840 is going to be focusing on being sensited all aspects 25 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:49.480 of a patient experience, getting back to natural modalities and 26 00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:52.959 order to be more cost effective and more conducive and 27 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:58.480 achieving wellness. The idea, of course, improve your health. Maybe 28 00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:00.680 this is along the lines of what are RFK Junior 29 00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:01.359 is talking about? 30 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:01.760 I don't know. 31 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:03.359 That's why we get George and study to talk about 32 00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:05.599 well AT's talk about the local political matters, because George 33 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:10.400 has got his well fingers on the pulse of what's 34 00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.800 going on locally in politics. That again coming up at 35 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.400 six oh five. Just wait an hour for that one. Smitherman, 36 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:17.800 it is Monday. We get the Smith event every Monday 37 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:19.680 with the former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati. 38 00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:21.960 That takes place at seven to twenty Monday Monday, with 39 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.360 Brian James every Monday at eight oh five, talking about 40 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.159 the December job report turned out a little bit better 41 00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:31.319 than some We're expecting market dropping because of concerns over 42 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:36.000 inflation fears. M Are we gonna have an interest rate raise. 43 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.639 I know they've already talked about no more interest rate 44 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:44.800 drops and other issues with Brian James again eight oh 45 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:46.919 five for that and Stephanie Peruci with the book Sound 46 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.599 the Alarm? Are there similarities between the la fires and 47 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:53.840 the Malley fires? Of course I anticipated those alarm bells 48 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.159 ringing early on, given the UH. I don't know if 49 00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:01.800 it's conspiracy theories or pattern observation or what the shenanigans, 50 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.960 we'll just call it lightly that went on in connection 51 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:09.639 with the Lahina fire. Lots of rumors, accusations and inu 52 00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:13.800 windows about whether that was sort of intentionally causing to 53 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:15.759 bring up in order to bring about some sort of 54 00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:20.360 nirvana like driving community grid connected, just to all that 55 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:22.639 nonsense we talk about all the time with global warming. 56 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.479 So well, what's Governor Gavin news I have to say 57 00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:27.000 about all this? And you can feel free to call 58 00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:29.400 five one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight 59 00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:31.400 hundred eighty two to three talk pound five fifty on 60 00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:34.120 at and T phones, get your podcasts at fifty five 61 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.719 care sea dot com. Well, those who are worried about 62 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:40.319 conspiracy theories connection with Line and Los Angeles, Oh my god, 63 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.120 they're doing this intentionally, just to bring about this well 64 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.479 workable community with more affordable housing and tiny houses, and 65 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.039 we're no longer going to have multi gazillion dollar homes. 66 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:55.199 I don't know. Apparently, Governor Gavin Newsom just signed an 67 00:03:55.240 --> 00:04:00.400 executive order suspending regulations that impede the rebuilding process. Hmmm. 68 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.759 Described as the three page executive order signed by the 69 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.039 governor this week or over the weekend, even seeking to 70 00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:12.719 streamline the building permit process, as well as oh my god, 71 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:18.480 roll back environmental regulations that subject rebuilding to layers of 72 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:26.040 time consuming bureaucracy. What about the environment law covers all 73 00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.319 the areas affected by the fires. According to The New 74 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:30.720 York Times, the order is likely to be the first 75 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.279 of several permit streamlining measures issued by the state, county, 76 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.959 and city agencies in the wake of the devastating fires 77 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:40.600 across Greater Los Angeles. Court to the reporting, the order 78 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:45.519 signed by Governor Newsom would also direct state agencies to 79 00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:52.199 coordinate with local governments to remove or expedite permitting and 80 00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:57.480 improval processes during rebuilding hmmm. They say. One of the 81 00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.639 most impactful rollbacks instituted by this order be the waiver 82 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:06.279 on permanent requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act as 83 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:11.319 well as the California State Coastal Act, according to The 84 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:16.360 New York Times, and I think everybody appreciates this considering 85 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:18.639 the price of property and building out there. California one 86 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:24.240 of America's most difficult and costly places to build, a 87 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:29.040 driving factor behind the state's long standing affordable housing shortage. 88 00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:35.279 It's amazing all these environmental regulations and roadblocks to buildings 89 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:38.720 obviously driven up the price of real estate. When there's 90 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.519 a massive impediment to building, literally anything from the most 91 00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:46.319 affordable project to the most expensive, multi gazillion dollar home 92 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:52.079 takes a long time to do it. Everyone suffers. New 93 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.480 York Times says, of all the hurdles of project can 94 00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.800 be subjected to, few are more difficult and time consuming 95 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:04.120 than the California and Environmental Quality Act, which often requires 96 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:08.240 developers to fund in depth environmental studies on a project's 97 00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:15.480 potential impact on everything from local wildfire wildlife to noise, views, 98 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:20.240 and traffic. Groups who oppose a particular development often use 99 00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:23.519 the CEQA lawsuits to try and stop them, which adds 100 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:30.040 years to even the smallest of projects. Newsom's order even 101 00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:35.360 went further than past waivers following other disasters, allowing property 102 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:38.000 owners to rebuild their homes and businesses without even showing 103 00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:41.639 they had tried to comply with the CEQA despite the waiver. 104 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:49.480 Hmm about his Executi Voter newsom under the following words, 105 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.319 when the fires are extinguished, victims who have lost their 106 00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:56.240 homes and businesses must be able to rebuild quickly without roadblocks. 107 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.759 The Executi Voter I signed today will help cut permitting 108 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.120 delays and important first step in allowing our communities to 109 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.160 recover faster and strowger. I've also ordered our state agencies 110 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:12.079 to identify additional ways to streamline the rebuilding and recovery processes. Okay, well, 111 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:15.920 you've got all these layers of bureaucracy and litigation while 112 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.680 there aren't fires raging, which of course impeded the God's 113 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:23.279 idea of building more homes, affordable housing, literally everything else 114 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:27.480 that would benefit Californians in the name of the environment. 115 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.360 It's also been recognized as I will get to by 116 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:38.639 Tom McClintock. Tom one are the few Republicans representing California's 117 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:43.639 fifth Congressional district, has this to say regarding these impediments, 118 00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:47.240 and how these impediments, and these allegedly in the name 119 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:55.360 of the environment regulations, actually caused the problem. He writes, 120 00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:59.040 when one cabrillo dropped anchor and what's now Los Angeles 121 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.800 San Pedro Bay, and the summer of fifteen forty two, 122 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:06.040 he promptly named it the Bay of Smokes. Annual wildfires 123 00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:09.240 fanned by Santa Wins are nothing new in southern California. 124 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:12.639 To remember, fifteen forty two is before global warming and 125 00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:16.319 climate change, before the Industrial revolution and the invention of 126 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:21.680 the internal combustion engine. Stating the obvious, So this is 127 00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:25.040 how nature garden. She doesn't care who lives, whose lives 128 00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:27.639 are destroyed, whose homes are burned, or how long it 129 00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:31.839 takes to reclaim the scarred land. We mortals do. Throughout 130 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:34.039 most of the twentieth century, we took measures to minimize 131 00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:36.799 the frequency and severity of wildfires. We created land management 132 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:39.480 agencies to do some of the gardening ourselves. We removed 133 00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:44.360 excess timber, creating resilient, fire resistant forests, thriving mountain economies, 134 00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:48.360 and a lucrative source of public revenue. We leased public 135 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:51.720 lands the sheep and cattle ranchers the stock kept brushed 136 00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:55.559 from building up. We established competent infrastructure to stop fires 137 00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.399 from getting out of control. We cut fire brakes into 138 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:04.679 the soil to contain flames, and prior to eighteen hundred, remember, 139 00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:09.039 before global warming, California lost an average of four point 140 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:14.080 five million acres of fires every year. As we introduced 141 00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:16.799 scientific land management and fire suppression measures. By the end 142 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:19.080 of the twentieth century, that ever, dropped to around twenty 143 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:22.159 five hundred or two hundred and fifty thousand acres, down 144 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:27.679 from four point five million. But in twenty twenty, California 145 00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:30.519 suffered a single year loss of four point three million 146 00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.360 acres to wildfires. Between twenty nineteen and twenty twenty three, 147 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.440 and average more than one and a half million acres 148 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:41.519 burned every year. What happened? The left blames client changing climate, 149 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:46.240 but that doesn't explain California's long history with massive wildfires 150 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.399 or why fires became less threatening throughout most of the 151 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.240 twentieth century. We can find a more likely culprit in 152 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:59.480 the state's recent extreme environmental and social policies, which some 153 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:01.960 of which you're just suspended by the wave of Governor 154 00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:06.240 Newsom's executive What are allowing and streamlining the building process. 155 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:12.799 I guess it doesn't matter now. Environmental studies required by 156 00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:16.080 the National Environmental Policy Act the nineteen seventy now costs 157 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:19.639 millions of dollars and take an average of five point 158 00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:25.919 three years for forced thinning projects in California to get approved. 159 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:29.200 Often the cost amounts to more than the value of 160 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:32.919 the timber itself. The amount of timber harvested from public 161 00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:35.799 lands has declined seventy five percent since the nineteen eighties, 162 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:41.759 with a come commitment increase in forest acreage destroyed by wildfire. 163 00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:47.759 You can't cut it, but nature or some idiot, it's 164 00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:51.720 going to burn it down. Sheep and cattle grazing on 165 00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:55.159 public lands, once common in southern California, had largely been 166 00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:59.840 regulated out of use by bureaucratic restrictions and fees designed 167 00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:04.919 to discourage of practice. Wilderness restrictions make brush brush suppression 168 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:12.879 more difficult throughout much of the state. Restrictions environmental leftists 169 00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:16.200 promised that laws such as the National Environmental Policy Act, 170 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:19.720 the Wilderness Act, the Endangered Species Act would protect and 171 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.120 improve the environment. Fifty years later, we're entitled to ask 172 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.720 how's it going. Between twenty twelve and twenty twenty Onoeen, 173 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:32.799 we lost a quarter of California's forest land of wildfires. 174 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.240 And hear you know this is the stat right here. 175 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:40.000 I've been waiting for it. A UCLA study, not the 176 00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:45.240 bashing of conservative thought. UCLA, I might interject, estimated that 177 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:49.759 California's twenty twenty fires, No, that was four years ago. 178 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:55.000 Twenty twenty fires released twice as much greenhouse gas into 179 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:58.799 the atmosphere as had been prevented by the previous eighteen 180 00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:04.039 years of primarily government and forced restrictions. Oh my god, 181 00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:07.480 that was just the twenty twenty fires. I wonder how 182 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:15.360 much negation of these climate alarming you know, particulate regulations 183 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:17.639 have been negated by the fires that are still burning 184 00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:23.120 as I speak this morning. Resource policy also changed radically. 185 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.720 The visionary water projects of the twentieth century gave way 186 00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:31.320 to increasingly restrictive conservation edicts, while leftist officials neglected the reasons. 187 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:36.279 Basic water infrastructure authorities forced utilities to spend billion on 188 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:38.840 women and solar projects, money that could have otherwise funded 189 00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:44.240 such desperate priorities as fire proofing power lines. As a results, 190 00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:46.759 one of the states most heavily invested in wind power, 191 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:51.600 it has shut down its power lines on windy days. 192 00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:55.360 It's a consequence of these follies, hydrants failed and many 193 00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:58.399 over extended, firefighters supporting having no choice but to surrender 194 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:02.759 to the lays. Despite high taxes and government spending, LA 195 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:06.039 woke officials still can't spare proper funding for its fire 196 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:10.480 department under Americair and Bass cities already underfunded budget by 197 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:13.279 more than seventeen million dollars last year. Meanwhile, the city 198 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:15.759 spent them as twice as much as the fire department's 199 00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:23.480 budget on homeless projects. Strained by the state's illegal immigrant problem, 200 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:27.639 fueled in part by LA's designated itself a sanctuary city, 201 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.679 local officials seem more concerned with social justice than putting 202 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:36.159 out real fires. State imposed price controls on fire insurance 203 00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:40.840 premiums have destroyed that industry. To premiums assign a dollar 204 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.720 value to the risk of living in an area. As 205 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.559 the risk increases, so do the premiums. But no, not 206 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.200 in California, where regulators have limited companies ability to set 207 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:53.759 market premiums. These price controls do what they always do, 208 00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:59.200 distort the price signals consumers need to make rational decisions. 209 00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:03.519 And create short of whatever is being controlled. Fire insurers 210 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:06.240 can no longer charge sufficient premiums to cover the risk, 211 00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.039 leaving them with no other choice but to exit the market. 212 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:14.360 Fire is a condition of nature, but how we deal 213 00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:18.240 with it is a choice. Tragedy in southern California is 214 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.240 the result of decades of self destructive policies made by 215 00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:25.759 foolish politicians. We can change the policies that got us 216 00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:29.639 into this mess by throwing out the politicians who made them, 217 00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:32.799 or wait for a desperate situation like Governor Newsom is 218 00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:35.600 facing right now and get rid of them by an 219 00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:41.240 executive order. Don't ever count on that, folks, he concludes, 220 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:43.799 in terms of changing the politicians, Let's hope we do 221 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:46.600 so before the next big fire five nineteen fifty five 222 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:49.480 care Cee detox Nation, stick around, play to talk about it. 223 00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:53.320 You're right back fifty five KRC if you're living with. 224 00:14:53.559 --> 00:15:00.159 Se detox station and a happy Monday to Hundre two 225 00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:06.039 three tak Ti fifty eight at funds. I also point 226 00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:10.679 to the insanity of California's energy electricity rates and why 227 00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:13.639 the wildfire and climate policies have sent them through the 228 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:17.480 roof alre to the highest electricity prices in the nation, 229 00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:24.639 growing faster than any other state wildfire related costs. The 230 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.559 state's ambitious greenhouse gas reduction programs and policies are apparently 231 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.440 the reason for it. According to a non partisan government 232 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:32.759 agency's review of this. 233 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:36.600 I just. 234 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:41.960 The state's Legislative Analyst Office LAO did the report, about 235 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:44.399 three quarters of the state wide energy services are from 236 00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:47.559 three large investor owned utilities. In the past ten years 237 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:51.320 between January twenty fourteenth and twenty four the electricity rate 238 00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:55.720 increases of those three large companies increases range from eighty 239 00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:58.679 three to one hundred and eighteen percent, far more than 240 00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:04.320 double the national average of thirty four percent. Wildfire related 241 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:08.080 to costs, electricity rates increased in recent years, making up 242 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:12.399 between seven and thirteen percent of your electricity bill in California. 243 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:19.240 According to the state's report, utility service providers are liable 244 00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:22.200 for the cost of wildfires caused by their infrastructure, regardless 245 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:24.480 of whether they have found of an acted negligent little. 246 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:28.120 Of course, it's their equipment. They have to take care 247 00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:30.559 of it and replacement. You own a business, you own trucks, 248 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.000 the trucks wreck, you've got to deal with it. Hopefully, 249 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:35.399 you have insurance, or in the state of California where 250 00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:40.320 there is an insurance anymore, it's your cost. Well, those 251 00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:43.720 costs are passed along to the ratepayers. They pay for 252 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:48.240 the wildfire insurance. Also that covers some of the California 253 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:52.600 Wildfire Fund. You're paying for that won if anybody feels 254 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.759 they've got a good return of their investment, considering their 255 00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:57.440 utility bills are about twenty percent higher than they otherwise 256 00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:02.240 would be because of these fires. Also, you're forced out 257 00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:06.599 there to pay for climate programs again negated completely by 258 00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:12.000 the fires that are raging. Greenhouse emission reduction efforts also 259 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:16.359 adds to the rate payer bill in California, they say. 260 00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:18.759 One of the examples cited into the state report a 261 00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.279 program requiring certain percentage of utilities retail energy to come 262 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:27.079 from renewable resources. The state report found that the program 263 00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:31.240 added about five percent to the increase in electricity rates. 264 00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:38.799 Ah The California Public Utility Commission authorizes utility companies to 265 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:43.480 implement various rate payer funded In other words, they decide 266 00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:47.519 you pay to help support California's zero mission vehicle goals, 267 00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:51.839 including installing publicly available charging stations. They don't have to 268 00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:54.359 do it. They're authorized to do it, but since they're 269 00:17:54.400 --> 00:18:01.079 passing along the cost to the consumer, they do it right. 270 00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:03.039 Pairs also required to pay for a variety of other 271 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:05.559 programs aimed at helping the state meet its climate goals 272 00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:09.400 in twenty twenty three, and estimated four percent of average 273 00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:14.119 rates were used for supporting the programs. And again going 274 00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:24.119 back to the state Representative McClintock's point, after all that 275 00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:27.720 extra money that's been paid by every single Californian with 276 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:30.839 an electric bill, and all the money that's been thrown 277 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:34.680 at these programs, and all the efforts to reduce their 278 00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:38.920 carbon emissions down to zero by some arbitrarily randomly selected 279 00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:46.359 calendar year UCLA, the study estimated California's twenty twenty fires 280 00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:49.680 alone released twice as much greenhouse gas into the atmosphere 281 00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:53.559 as had been prevented by the previous eighteen years of 282 00:18:53.640 --> 00:19:01.279 government and forest restrictions. Sisiphis comes to mind five seven 283 00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:04.480 fifty five care cdtalk stations Local stories are alternatively. You 284 00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:06.240 can feel free to call.

Good conversation with Todd who 292 00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.319 was in the studio for an hour, and of course 293 00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:32.759 this past Friday Tech Friday with Dave had our interest 294 00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:35.519 it doing that one and I appreciate it because it's 295 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:39.680 important information. George Breneman coming up at six oh five, 296 00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:41.440 got a whole bunch of things to talk about him 297 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:44.319 within the hour. And Christopher Smithman on the program today 298 00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.519 as well. Ah Boone County doing the right thing, going 299 00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:50.079 in the opposite direction as they've done in California. The 300 00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:55.240 well closing are closer to prohibiting large solar farms to 301 00:19:55.519 --> 00:20:02.000 preserve rural farmland. Janry Andine Boone County Fiscal Court conducted 302 00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:03.960 its first reading and an ordinance that would allow would 303 00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:06.920 add language to the county's zoning code to regulate and 304 00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:13.039 define solar energy systems and battery storage facilities within unincorporated county. 305 00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:20.400 Land Boone County Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval prior to 306 00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:24.880 the regulation being presented. New regulations would prohibit solar farms 307 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:28.119 and only allow solar storage facilities on parcels of land 308 00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:34.559 within an industrial zoning designation. Regulations would not prohibit rooftop 309 00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:39.440 mounted solar systems and industrial zones. Boone County Zoning Administrator 310 00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:42.079 Michael Schwartz, I guess speaking with WCPO, it's where I'm 311 00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:46.480 getting the reporting on this. Thank you to Kenton Hornback 312 00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:50.200 for doing the reporting. This is really geared to industrial 313 00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:53.799 uses and residential uses for battery storage facilities. That regulates 314 00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:58.160 the larger industrial type to those industrial zones. So if 315 00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:01.400 past regulations would only apply to the future development of 316 00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:04.119 private solar farms, sports confirmed to the Fiscal Court, the 317 00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:07.880 Kentucky State Law Cares one hundred point three twenty four 318 00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.680 For those keeping track dictates the public utility facilities are 319 00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:14.519 exempt from local planning and zoning requirements. Moreover, a Court 320 00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:18.440 of the Kentucky Resource Council, solar arrays proposed by utility 321 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:22.079 regulated by the Public Service Commission or municipality are also 322 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:30.039 exempt from local planning and zoning requirements. Judge Executive Gary 323 00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:34.400 Moore said it does protect from private, non utility development 324 00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:41.960 of solar farms. Okay not the only local government taking 325 00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:44.359 measures to reign in solar farm development. In February twenty 326 00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:49.680 twenty three, Kentucky and Lantern Link NKY Content Partner reported 327 00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:53.119 that thirteen county fiscal courts and seven city governments across 328 00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:56.799 Kentucky had taken measures to regulate solar projects within their jurisdiction, 329 00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:07.079 saving them from the I guess environmental green alarmists I 330 00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:11.680 don't know. Stolen semi trucks sent law enforcement on a 331 00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:14.880 chase across Butler and Preble County on Saturday afternoon. Butler 332 00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:17.240 County Sheriff Richard Jones shared a video on x detailing 333 00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:20.480 the pursuit, which began twelve forty seven in the afternoon. 334 00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:22.920 Set in the post, thirty seven year old Joseph Allen 335 00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:28.519 Horton was arrested after a multi jurisdictional pursuit. Horton's been 336 00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:31.519 charged with a third degree felony failure to comply, fourth 337 00:22:31.519 --> 00:22:37.640 degree felony receiving stolen property. Reportedly, Cjm's Trucking company discovered 338 00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.720 that one of their twenty thirteen Kenworth semitrucks was missing 339 00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:45.079 and they began tracking the semi truck. They discovered it 340 00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:47.960 was exiting Ice seventy five near Middletown, where the Butler 341 00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:51.480 County Sheriff's Office said the pursuit began. Sheriff's office said 342 00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:54.799 Horton traveled through multiple cities and jurisdictions while he attempted 343 00:22:54.839 --> 00:22:59.119 to thwart the pursuit by throwing hammers and tools out 344 00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:05.079 of the window onto pursuing officers. Pursuit came in an 345 00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:08.119 end after a semi truck hit stop sticks, causing it 346 00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:11.599 to run off the road at the Third Street extension 347 00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:15.480 just north of Black Street in Hamilton. Least in the 348 00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:20.799 chase lasted one and a half hours. Currently, all of 349 00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:24.720 Horton's charges are through Butler County, with more pending from Middletown, Trenton, 350 00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:30.079 and Prebble County.

Yes, I'm an avid listener, 384 00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:11.440 even when I'm not on. 385 00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:13.880 I do appreciate that you know. And then nothing warms 386 00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:17.000 my heart more than to know that you know whise 387 00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:21.119 and logical, reasonable folks like you actually listen to my program. 388 00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:24.279 I consider that this is the highest possible honor I 389 00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:27.519 could have and charge conversations your podcast. 390 00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:34.039 Yes, absolutely, and as soon as this transition duty is 391 00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:37.359 over for the incoming present, on my way to Washington, 392 00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:40.119 DC right now. That's why you fired up another episode 393 00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:40.440 of that. 394 00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:43.240 I'm sorry that I didn't put that right at the 395 00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:45.799 front of your resume as I was reminding folks of 396 00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:51.400 of your background. Yes, you are on the Trump transition team. 397 00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:55.920 I am, indeed and have been working behind the scenes 398 00:25:55.960 --> 00:26:00.880 since September trying to prepare the new administration to be 399 00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:05.359 armed with all the information they need to take assume 400 00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:08.799 power on January twentieth. And this will be my third 401 00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:11.519 time participating in the peaceful transfer of government. 402 00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:14.880 I appreciate you doing that. So what elements are you 403 00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:17.240 going to be dealing with? I trust its energy policy, 404 00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:19.960 doing energy. 405 00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:21.799 But I'm also on the national security side. I'll be 406 00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:23.880 at the Pentagon here in just a couple hours, where 407 00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:28.119 I've been parked for the last week, talking through national 408 00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:32.240 security issues with them, And yeah, it's exciting. You know, 409 00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:36.240 there are hundreds of us working on this, and actually 410 00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:39.480 the transition team is embedded right now and every single 411 00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:42.519 federal agency trying to get to the bottom of things, 412 00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:43.839 I guess. 413 00:26:43.880 --> 00:26:48.119 But just collectively speaking, are you getting any pushback from 414 00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:51.279 the current powers that be before the transition takes place? 415 00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:53.680 I mean, you know all those rumors about people popping 416 00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:58.000 w's off of the of the keyboards back when Bush 417 00:26:58.079 --> 00:27:00.519 was taking over the as president. I don't know if 418 00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:03.880 that kind of childish shenanigans is going on, but obviously 419 00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:07.799 there's a new sheriff in town. Clearly the business world 420 00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:13.240 is reacting favorably toward the transition and sort of conceding 421 00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:16.119 the loss and moving in a more conservative direction. You've 422 00:27:16.119 --> 00:27:19.960 got the DEI policies getting thrown out. You've got Zuckerberg 423 00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:22.519 getting rid of the so called fact checkers because of 424 00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:26.319 course the Department of Justice was busily deleting information that 425 00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:28.880 we all found accurate. So there seems to be this 426 00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:33.480 this colossal shift going on outside. How's it like on 427 00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:35.559 the inside as a transition team is working. 428 00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:39.359 Yeah, I will tell you the agencies I've been in, 429 00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:44.480 it's been very orderly, it's been very receptive. We've had 430 00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:48.599 briefings with all the leadership of all the different agencies. 431 00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:54.519 I've been personally brief practically one on one with all 432 00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:59.759 of our combatant commanders around the world, Sentcom, you COOM, Africom, Northcom, 433 00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:03.440 et cetera. You know, so everything that I have seen. 434 00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:05.680 And on the energy side, the same thing. Any document 435 00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:08.880 request we want, we've gotten. Any briefing we've asked for, 436 00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:13.359 we've gotten. Now. The other thing it's still frustrating, Brian, 437 00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:16.839 is the current administration is acting like you know, there's 438 00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:20.079 no change. They are hiring people, they are spending money, 439 00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:24.440 they are pushing out regulations right until the very last day. 440 00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:28.720 And it's very frustrating, especially when senior career leaders are 441 00:28:28.759 --> 00:28:33.359 being hired and the incoming team will have to decide, 442 00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:35.680 you know, what they can do. Do they have to 443 00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:38.160 keep those people? They'd like to hire their own people, right, 444 00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:41.039 But that's a longer conversation. 445 00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:44.960 Well, are there any prohibitions to just canning the people 446 00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:48.279 that have been recently hired in favor of folks that 447 00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:52.519 this new administration would prefer, folks that sort of have 448 00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:56.519 at least a consistent focus and perspective upon what the 449 00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:59.319 government is trying to accomplish. 450 00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:02.839 Yes, great idea. If somebody is new to government, they're 451 00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:06.240 on a one year probation. If someone is a member 452 00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:09.839 of the Senior Executive Service, which are like generals and 453 00:29:09.880 --> 00:29:14.039 admirals on the career non uniform side, they can be 454 00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:18.279 a reassigned to any position within the agency bought. There 455 00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:21.839 is a hold a federal law that prohibits an incoming 456 00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:25.839 administration from making any personnel changes the first one hundred 457 00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:28.519 and twenty days. So we're stuck with what we've got. 458 00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:36.279 So this is just one more just middle finger at 459 00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:38.960 Trump having won the election. I mean to put people 460 00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:42.119 in these positions that are clearly subject to being removed 461 00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:45.240 under the law within the first year. This is just 462 00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:48.799 a speed bump and an intended impediment to stop Trump 463 00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:50.720 from getting what he wants done quicker. 464 00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:54.359 It's I think you can certainly look at it that way, 465 00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:57.000 especially if there are these political hires or people that 466 00:29:57.039 --> 00:29:59.759 are currently in political slots that would have to resign 467 00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:03.519 wise on January twentieth, because you know, the five thousand 468 00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:08.559 senior policy and executive positions are all political, they have 469 00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:11.279 to resign. Some of those do what's called burrowing in. 470 00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:15.400 They suddenly switch to a career status and try to 471 00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:19.319 assume a job meant for career civil servants and hope 472 00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:23.000 nobody notices. But that's not going to work well. 473 00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:25.480 I would hope the transition team will be paying attention 474 00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:28.319 to and writing down names that would help them be 475 00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:32.119 easy identify those folks down the road. Well. 476 00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:34.240 Absolutely, that is a big part of it. But I 477 00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:37.599 have to say it's also intended to keep new the 478 00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:41.440 new administration to give to force administration to take some 479 00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:43.720 time to make sure they know what they're they're doing 480 00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:46.680 before they go after people. And you shouldn't be going 481 00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:50.119 after anybody unless it's just not based on merrit. Brian 482 00:30:50.279 --> 00:30:52.279 and if I may, I can tell you across government 483 00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:54.559 the eyes out the window, everything's going to be based 484 00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:57.000 on merit. You want a promotion, merit, you want to 485 00:30:57.000 --> 00:30:59.359 be hired merit. That's where it's going to go. 486 00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:01.960 Well, that's where it should have been all along. You know, 487 00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:04.240 you want the best and brightest people in charge. I 488 00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:07.960 mean that just seems logical and reasonable, and of course 489 00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:09.519 that got thrown out the window in the name of 490 00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:12.000 DEI Bringham. You want to hang out, I figure you 491 00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:13.720 got more to talk about in comment on in the 492 00:31:13.759 --> 00:31:18.319 transition as well as maybe your response to the California wildfires. 493 00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:22.240 Wildfires just having some connection with their energy policy and 494 00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:25.799 Green New Deal and green focus. Bring the Mcowan from 495 00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:28.000 the Hudson Institute. Pause for a moment. We'll bring them back. 496 00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:31.160 It's five forty six fifty five KRC DE Talk station 497 00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:34.759 fifty five the talk station I love. 498 00:31:35.640 --> 00:31:36.720 This is the best job people. 499 00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:38.880 Five fifty to fifty five KRC Detalk station. A very 500 00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:41.160 happy Monday to you. And normally doing snack is stupid, 501 00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:44.240 but when it comes to environmental policies to California, is 502 00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:46.839 revealing that well they are and should be a subject 503 00:31:46.839 --> 00:31:48.599 matter of the stack of stupid and somebody knows all 504 00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:52.519 about energy policy. Bringa McGowan from the Hudson Institute Charged 505 00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:55.359 Conversations as his podcast, you can find that we've had 506 00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:57.759 bring them on the program a lot talk about energy policy. 507 00:31:58.279 --> 00:32:01.559 And I don't know if you heard the read Tom McClintock. 508 00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:04.640 He's an elected official Republican in California representing the fifth 509 00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:08.559 Congressional district. He pointed out a fun fact California's twenty 510 00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:11.680 twenty fires, going back a few years on that brig 511 00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:14.359 and released twice as much greenhouse gas into the atmosphere, 512 00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:17.519 has been prevented by the prior eighteen years of government 513 00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:22.079 and force restrictions. As I see the raging fires out there, 514 00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:24.680 the worst in the nation's history, probably one of the 515 00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:28.240 worst natural disasters. They're still burning right now, obviously bigger 516 00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:31.039 than the twenty twenty fires. And I see New York 517 00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:35.680 City has issued a new char broial rule that would 518 00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:40.160 force the char broilers of meat to cut their emissions 519 00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:45.119 by seventy five percent. As if that's going to do anything. Brigham, 520 00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:48.519 your comments about energy policy and how well it served 521 00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:50.799 California or generally speaking. 522 00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:54.480 Yeah, thanks, Brian. You know it's. 523 00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:56.279 I don't know. 524 00:32:56.359 --> 00:32:57.720 There's lots of saying but I don't know if I 525 00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:03.559 can repeat them on the radio. But people, some of 526 00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:05.119 these people obviously do. 527 00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:06.559 Not live in the real world. 528 00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:11.920 And while maybe well intentioned, if one really believes what 529 00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:19.400 they believe, it's absolutely only harming ourselves, you know it is. Meanwhile, 530 00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:25.960 while China, India, the global South, China in particular, puts 531 00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:29.440 out more emissions in the entire Western world, we are 532 00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:32.240 You can hold your breath, Brian. We could not admit 533 00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:35.400 a single thing and it won't change the outcome other 534 00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:36.680 than harm ourselves. 535 00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:39.839 Right now, well, and that seems to be the only 536 00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:43.200 conclusion one can reach. This is for the purpose of 537 00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:48.319 harming ourselves, to reduce us, to make us a less consumptive, 538 00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:52.359 less prosperous society. I've been making that point for years 539 00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:55.519 because that's the only place the arrows of logic and 540 00:33:55.599 --> 00:34:01.440 reason ultimately point, since, for example, one year of firefighters 541 00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:04.640 in negates eighteen years of our throat cutting in an 542 00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:09.840 effort to stop CO two emissions. It's just it. It's 543 00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:12.000 as if we don't pay attention to anything. 544 00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:16.280 That is exactly and what we're really doing, to your point, 545 00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:18.920 is harming ourselves. We're harming our economy, We're harming our 546 00:34:18.920 --> 00:34:25.719 standard living. This climate change is a religion. It's a 547 00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:29.920 religion frankly the left. It's a religion of people that 548 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:32.199 think we should all live in communes. It's a religion 549 00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:36.239 of people that were the Occupy Wall Street movement that 550 00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:38.760 think capitalism and is bad. And I can keep going 551 00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:41.440 on and on. Quite honestly, China and some of our 552 00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:45.119 other adversaries around the world want us to buy into 553 00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:49.880 this also because it weakens our national security, and yeah, 554 00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:53.760 we've got to stop, you know. And the wildfires, you know, 555 00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:58.159 the Mali wildfires were blamed on climate change. Some of 556 00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:02.679 the earlier wildfires were arson, but some were actually a 557 00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:05.760 result of the electric company out there PG and E 558 00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:12.800 not being able to provide upgrades which required construction, which 559 00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:17.199 required going into quote ecologically sensitive areas, so high winds, 560 00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:19.639 power lines fell on the grounds, are fires. 561 00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:24.320 Yeah, it is. We've met the enemy, and. 562 00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:27.400 It's us, Brian, We are our own worst enemy with 563 00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:33.400 these prioritized, politically charged religious view. It's not climate change, 564 00:35:33.400 --> 00:35:39.159 It's called weather exactly. Exactly. And it's comical that the 565 00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:42.840 electric companies are charged with the obligation and protect the 566 00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:45.079 power grid and you know, make sure that the power 567 00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:46.880 lines are protected, and then when they go to do that, 568 00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:49.360 we need to put in fire breaks, We need to 569 00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:51.159 do this, We need to do brush removal, we need 570 00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:53.519 to do some deforestation, et cetera. They're met with all 571 00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:56.840 these environmental challenges which are created by regulations in the 572 00:35:56.840 --> 00:35:59.760 state of California which obliges the power companies to make 573 00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:02.639 sure the power lines are safe. I mean, it's a 574 00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:07.480 circular pleasure fest if I can be so delicate in 575 00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:12.440 giving the FEC compliance obligations. You are spot on, and 576 00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:15.159 you know, talking about the need to clear the underbrush 577 00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:19.840 to prevent these fires, to remove flammable material. You may 578 00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:24.840 remember Trump actually talked about that last time, and he 579 00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:29.000 was talking about, you know, the underbrush and European forests, 580 00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:31.679 and everybody laughed at him. So Trump thinks we need 581 00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:36.960 to go, you know, clean. He thinks the forests are 582 00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:39.480 clean in Europe and they're not here, and we need 583 00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:41.440 to spend more money. Now, what he was saying is, 584 00:36:41.480 --> 00:36:45.280 you've got to take care of things around your house 585 00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:48.000 and around public lands to minimize fire dangers. 586 00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:51.079 Seems like a simple prospect and they used to do it, 587 00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:53.599 but they stopped doing it. And look what we've brought about. 588 00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:57.880 Brig McGowan, Hudson Institute. Appreciate you calling in this morning, 589 00:36:57.920 --> 00:36:59.960 Appreciate you tuning into the fifty five KRC Morning Show 590 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:02.000 offering your insight, and I wish you all the best 591 00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:04.920 with the Trump transition team.

Five fifty six fifty five k STEE 596 00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:20.079 Talk Station, George Brunneman after the news. There's no shortage 597 00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:22.880 of stuff to talk about in twenty twenty five. I'm 598 00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:27.840 so excited the conversation is happening here on fifty five KRC. 599 00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:33.199 The talk station run a business, and it's until five 600 00:37:33.360 --> 00:37:34.840 fifty about KRCD talk station. 601 00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:36.800 It is Monday and a very happy one tea, and 602 00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:39.119 I was so pleased to see George Brownhan was on 603 00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:41.599 the rundown this morning. And George is not alone in 604 00:37:41.719 --> 00:37:46.840 studio with George nurse practitioner Keith Tenfield. We're gonna be 605 00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:50.639 talking about George Brenneman's new program, Restore Wellness dot org. Well, 606 00:37:50.679 --> 00:37:54.840 it's actually George and Keith's new program. Restore Wellness dot 607 00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:58.079 Org is the website. It's all about wellness. George. You know, 608 00:37:58.119 --> 00:38:03.119 he's a retired engineer. He's got all kinds of props, innovation, 609 00:38:03.199 --> 00:38:06.960 electronic controls, artificial intelligence. He's been involved in community activity 610 00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:09.519 for more than a decade, done on my program many 611 00:38:09.519 --> 00:38:13.320 times about local issues, and this Restore Wellness dot Org 612 00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:16.519 as a result of his personal pursuit for better health 613 00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:18.760 along with his wife. We'll get some details on that. 614 00:38:19.719 --> 00:38:21.400 Did a whole lot of research and then teamed up 615 00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:25.280 with Keith, who is a nurse practitioner, started a journey 616 00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:28.800 in medicine conventional and alternative therapies with a focus on 617 00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:31.760 being sensitive to all aspects of a patient's experience. I 618 00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:34.400 guess everybody's different, so he wants to get back to 619 00:38:34.559 --> 00:38:38.480 natural modalities and this kind of sort of jobs perfectly 620 00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:42.960 timing wise with our FK Junior and welcome, gentlemen. It's 621 00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:44.840 great to have you both in studio. Thanks for showing 622 00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:46.920 up today. Thanks Brian Glad to be here, and I 623 00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:50.599 appreciate the topic. Our FK Junior is kind of an 624 00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:53.760 odd guy. I don't agree with everything he has to say. 625 00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:56.559 I'm glad there's a polio vaccine, for example, because I've 626 00:38:56.599 --> 00:38:59.880 seen rooms full of people in iron lungs before then 627 00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:03.440 and polio vaccine came out, So I'm not a complete 628 00:39:03.559 --> 00:39:06.519 vaccine skeptic. Now. COVID nineteen and the problems with the 629 00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:10.159 mRNA vaccine and all that I see, I hear, I 630 00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:12.880 read about, I'm worried about it. It's kind of put 631 00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:14.880 everybody back on their heels when it comes to the 632 00:39:14.880 --> 00:39:18.719 concept of vaccines generally. But the thing that I really 633 00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:21.920 embraced about RFK Junior, and the fact that he's involved 634 00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:23.960 on some or may very well be involved on some 635 00:39:24.079 --> 00:39:28.079 level with the administration, is this focus on the food 636 00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:31.639 that we eat. Absolutely, And you know, I've talked about 637 00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:33.960 it before, and George, you have personal experience with the 638 00:39:34.039 --> 00:39:36.719 keto diet and when I decided to try to pursue 639 00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:40.519 that to deal with my cancer, because there are a 640 00:39:40.519 --> 00:39:42.840 lot of clinical trials and studies out there which show, 641 00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:45.800 you know, removing the excess sugar from your diet can 642 00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:48.280 starve the cancer, and of course that includes getting rid 643 00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:52.159 of the cars. Carbs convert to sugar. Fine, But when 644 00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:55.079 you start looking at food labeling and you start trying 645 00:39:55.119 --> 00:39:58.719 to find where sugars are, you come to this realization 646 00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:02.880 that all these there's so many editives in literally everything. 647 00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:08.039 And this is a more recent societal phenomenon. I supposed 648 00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:10.840 to roll back the clock forty years, there wouldn't be 649 00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:12.199 all these you know. 650 00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:14.639 Well, not only that, it's only happening in the United States, 651 00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:17.440 so high fruc dose cornsrup probably the evil of all 652 00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:21.880 evils that they've stuck in there that didn't happen anywhere else. 653 00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:24.119 And in the United States it's only happening because the 654 00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:28.039 government has corn subsidies that make the price cheaper. And 655 00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:31.239 it's more addictive than sugar, and it's cheaper than sugar. 656 00:40:31.320 --> 00:40:33.639 So that's why we're the only country that has that 657 00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:36.960 stuff in our foods. So much of what's happening, and 658 00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:41.039 the additives are the key. It's only happening here because 659 00:40:41.800 --> 00:40:44.760 our agencies, the ones that are supposed to protect us, 660 00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:48.119 most of their funding comes from the people they're trying 661 00:40:48.159 --> 00:40:53.480 to regulate, so pharmaceutical their industry controls the FDA and 662 00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:56.599 controls all of the processes to get the drugs onto 663 00:40:56.599 --> 00:40:57.079 the market. 664 00:40:57.280 --> 00:40:58.440 So you have this corruption. 665 00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:00.920 That was one of the things I think I've mentioned 666 00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:03.239 this before is that the corruption that goes on in 667 00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:06.519 the medical and food industry is just as bad as 668 00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:08.840 the corruption that goes on in the political industry, maybe 669 00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:09.480 even worse. 670 00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:13.920 Well. And pharmaceutical companies are interested in their bottom line, 671 00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:19.679 of course, and they create cures for symptoms. They aren't 672 00:41:19.719 --> 00:41:24.639 interested in addressing the source of the symptom, which exactly 673 00:41:25.599 --> 00:41:27.920 and we take this crap out of our food and 674 00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:30.559 maybe we wouldn't be dealing with the problems that require 675 00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:33.800 pharmaceuticals to address. So we're also the only nation that 676 00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:37.480 uses seed oils the same way, so vegetable oil, canola, soybean, 677 00:41:37.639 --> 00:41:39.800 all of those things which the body doesn't know what 678 00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:41.440 to do with when you stick it in there, and 679 00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:43.960 they make everything worse. I think Keith will talk about 680 00:41:44.199 --> 00:41:46.960 the way it makes your body inflame. All of that 681 00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:50.360 stuff a US only problem. Most places only use avocado 682 00:41:50.440 --> 00:41:53.199 and olive oil. We started or good old bacon grease, 683 00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:55.239 you know, switched over to avocado. I make my own 684 00:41:55.239 --> 00:41:57.960 mayonnaise now, which is really simple. Really, That's one of 685 00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:00.480 the things I keep wanting to do because cheese. You 686 00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:04.519 can't find a bottle of mayonnaise that doesn't have soybean oil, 687 00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:07.360 and none of them. I made a batch a day 688 00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:11.360 before yesterday. You got one of those wand blunders. Yeah, yeah, okay. 689 00:42:11.679 --> 00:42:16.039 You put too well, one egg, a cup of avocado oil, 690 00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:19.079 about a half a teaspoon of lemon juice, about a 691 00:42:19.159 --> 00:42:21.960 quarter to a half teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and I 692 00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:24.239 think that's it. Maybe it was a little of white 693 00:42:24.280 --> 00:42:27.079 wine vinegar two about the same amount as lemon juice. 694 00:42:27.639 --> 00:42:30.079 Put all that in a container where the wand blender 695 00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:33.079 is fits with the bottom of it, and you just 696 00:42:33.159 --> 00:42:36.800 turn it on one minute and you've got mayonnaise, period, 697 00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:40.079 and it's awesome. It tastes great. It's got nothing in it. 698 00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:42.880 But what I just mentioned all natural ingredients, including the 699 00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:46.199 primary source of the oil, avocado oil. And that's what 700 00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:46.880 we need to get to. 701 00:42:46.960 --> 00:42:50.320 And that's sort of where this restore wellness idea came from. 702 00:42:50.519 --> 00:42:54.599 Was that there COVID woke everybody up right. You suddenly 703 00:42:54.920 --> 00:42:58.800 realized how corrupt what was going on with like fauci 704 00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:02.280 as far as push those mRNAs and the fact that 705 00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:04.639 COVID was only killing people over the age of seventy, 706 00:43:04.679 --> 00:43:06.960 but we're going to give these vaccines to five year olds. 707 00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:09.440 You know, it made everybody step back and say, what 708 00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:13.760 the heck's going on here? And when simultaneously with that, 709 00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:16.079 two other things happened. There's a lot of new books 710 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:19.920 out there talking about metabolic health, and there's a lot 711 00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:23.199 of new information coming out there because of RFK Junior 712 00:43:23.239 --> 00:43:26.840 and his challenges. Yeah, and so you had this nexus 713 00:43:26.840 --> 00:43:29.280 of all of this new information and the fact that 714 00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:32.559 COVID was waking everyone up. And so, like I, Nancy 715 00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:34.719 and I just started down this path of reading a 716 00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:38.480 ton of books and came to the conclusion, Hey, keto 717 00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:41.360 is the way to go, Like you said, but we 718 00:43:41.440 --> 00:43:43.920 had tried keto before, back when it was called Atkins right, 719 00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:47.280 and the whole purpose was to lose weight. Well, now 720 00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:49.960 the purpose wasn't for us to lose weight. It was 721 00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:52.280 we don't want to get cancer. We don't want to 722 00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:54.880 get heart disease. You know, we're trying to get rid 723 00:43:54.880 --> 00:43:57.280 of inflammation, the fact that every bone in our body 724 00:43:57.360 --> 00:44:01.000 hurts when we move. And sure enough, if that's your 725 00:44:01.039 --> 00:44:04.239 motivation for changing your diet, you'll do it, where as 726 00:44:04.280 --> 00:44:06.719 opposed to, Okay, I want to lose twenty pounds, I'm 727 00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:08.239 going to go on quto for five months. 728 00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:11.920 Well well, and again, I don't know if keto's the 729 00:44:11.960 --> 00:44:14.280 end all be all, and it's not an easy diet 730 00:44:14.360 --> 00:44:18.920 to follow, but I did it for reason number one. 731 00:44:19.079 --> 00:44:22.519 I'm in this sort of pause between maybe getting cancer 732 00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:27.280 therapy or treatments, traditional cancer therapy treatments, or trying a 733 00:44:27.280 --> 00:44:29.719 different path. And I was given sort of a pause. 734 00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:32.199 I could choose to go ahead with a protocol or 735 00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:34.480 take away and see approach, which is what I chose. 736 00:44:34.920 --> 00:44:36.960 And then I started doing all this research and finding 737 00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:39.800 all these studies on keto and its relationship to cancer. Now, 738 00:44:39.800 --> 00:44:41.920 I'll be the first person to admit I haven't seen 739 00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:46.960 any to talk about keto relating to lymphoma, which is 740 00:44:47.000 --> 00:44:50.480 my cancer. So with hard tumors, breast cancers and brain 741 00:44:50.519 --> 00:44:54.000 tumors and other tumors that they've shown some really amazing, 742 00:44:54.119 --> 00:44:57.199 amazing results with these protocols, some of them which involve 743 00:44:57.239 --> 00:45:00.960 ivermectin and some others, but legitimately and it sort of 744 00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:04.920 accepted in the medical community, peer reviewed scientific studies saying 745 00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:06.599 this might be the way to go. So that was 746 00:45:06.679 --> 00:45:09.320 motivation number one, and of course motivation number two. I 747 00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:12.800 got tired of being called fat by my relatives, so 748 00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:15.280 I was able to lose you know, basically ten pounds. 749 00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:18.079 It's stalled though right there, and now I'm sort of 750 00:45:18.119 --> 00:45:21.559 doing this hybrid. My wife is baking homemade bread now 751 00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:24.239 and it's impossible to say no to just one slice 752 00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:26.039 of bread. I mean, you got to have some carbs 753 00:45:26.079 --> 00:45:28.840 in your life. It makes life worth living, which is 754 00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:30.760 the hard part about keito because you're not supposed to 755 00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:31.840 eat carbs at all. 756 00:45:32.239 --> 00:45:33.920 You know, well, Brian, you know, I think one of 757 00:45:33.960 --> 00:45:36.599 the things is that people look at keto as a diet, 758 00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:38.119 and I particularly like to look at it as a 759 00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:40.639 nutritional status. Like if you're going to bring food into 760 00:45:40.679 --> 00:45:43.800 your body, make it a nutritional source, something that has 761 00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:46.639 a high vitality to it, so your entire existence becomes 762 00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:49.000 more vital. And it's also more of like a cultural 763 00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:52.480 sense too. You you look around at certain people, like say Cincinnati, 764 00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:55.440 and we might have a maybe a mild obesity problem 765 00:45:55.480 --> 00:45:57.760 in general, so we kind of accept overweight as a 766 00:45:57.840 --> 00:46:00.000 just a general thing, where if you go to forends 767 00:46:00.199 --> 00:46:01.599 like Naples where my in laws live. 768 00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:02.760 They're all skinny down there. 769 00:46:02.800 --> 00:46:04.920 It's a different kind of culture, so they're eating different, 770 00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:05.960 exercising different. 771 00:46:06.119 --> 00:46:07.800 And we can't do just one thing. We can't just 772 00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:08.400 do a diet. 773 00:46:08.440 --> 00:46:10.920 We have to exercise, we have to move, we have 774 00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:14.119 to hydrate, and putting all that together makes a fantastic 775 00:46:14.679 --> 00:46:17.519 energetic self. And in that energetic self, you feel more 776 00:46:17.559 --> 00:46:19.800 motivated to even be healthier and go do things like 777 00:46:19.840 --> 00:46:22.880 pickleball and play and have an active lifestyle. It builds 778 00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:26.119 on itself, right exactly. It produces that motivation that just 779 00:46:26.159 --> 00:46:27.239 gets you in the right direction. 780 00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:29.639 You know. All right, let's pause. We will continue this 781 00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:33.800 conversation again. You can find the website it's Restore Wellness 782 00:46:33.880 --> 00:46:36.119 dot or we're going to continue with George brunhaman and 783 00:46:36.760 --> 00:46:41.199 nurse practitioner Keith Tannenfeld. After a word for QC Kinetics 784 00:46:41.199 --> 00:46:44.599 speaking of health and well natural medicines. That's what QC 785 00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:47.360 connects all about.

The whole idea of 798 00:47:28.920 --> 00:47:31.960 the surgical option. If you are struggling with joint pain, 799 00:47:32.360 --> 00:47:35.400 our threat is back pain, knee pain, hip pain.

QC Kinetics. 802 00:47:43.360 --> 00:47:47.480 Fifty five KRC dot Com cybersecurity threats around thinking about 803 00:47:47.519 --> 00:47:50.199 krcity talk station Happy Monday one off for now former 804 00:47:50.239 --> 00:47:52.760 Vice Mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher smithmen with 805 00:47:52.760 --> 00:47:54.199 the Monday Morning Smither vent. 806 00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:57.159 We's get money money with Brian James in the meantime 807 00:47:57.239 --> 00:48:00.960 from Restore Liberty dot Us normally talking politics with George Runvan. 808 00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:04.400 He's teamed up with a nurse practitioner named Keith Tennantfeld, 809 00:48:04.400 --> 00:48:06.480 both of them in studio to talk about a better 810 00:48:06.559 --> 00:48:10.000 path for well living your life and eating. It's Restore 811 00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:14.280 Wellness dot org. Gentlemen, I generally speaking, if you had 812 00:48:14.320 --> 00:48:17.280 to boil down your advocacy and what you're hoping to 813 00:48:17.320 --> 00:48:21.079 accomplish with Restore Wellness dot org, what would it be? 814 00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:22.559 And I also want to hear the story about how 815 00:48:22.599 --> 00:48:23.559 you two hooked up. 816 00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:27.880 So the main focus is think of it as lead 817 00:48:27.880 --> 00:48:30.960 a horse to water, you know. Unlike Restore Liberty, where 818 00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:33.920 we were trying to influence political outcomes, so the people 819 00:48:33.960 --> 00:48:36.519 that we were talking to, we really weren't trying to 820 00:48:36.559 --> 00:48:38.559 help them. We were trying to encourage them to go 821 00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:41.519 out and talk to other people and influence the process. 822 00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:45.000 With Restore Wellness, the whole focus is one to one. 823 00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:47.320 We want to get the people that are listening. We 824 00:48:47.360 --> 00:48:49.559 want to give them the tools to make a more 825 00:48:49.639 --> 00:48:54.199 healthy choice just in general, to help hopefully, you know, 826 00:48:54.239 --> 00:48:57.159 get these principles out there and give people a chance 827 00:48:57.199 --> 00:49:00.000 to take care of themselves. I think the main, folks, 828 00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:02.320 is the idea that we want to move from this 829 00:49:02.480 --> 00:49:06.000 idea that you go to see your doctor because you 830 00:49:06.079 --> 00:49:08.639 have a symptom and you want to cure. So you've 831 00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:11.119 already got a problem, and we want to change that 832 00:49:11.199 --> 00:49:13.119 focus to be I don't want to get the problem 833 00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:14.360 in the first place, exactly. 834 00:49:14.599 --> 00:49:18.000 And so that's just so radical nowadays. 835 00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:19.519 Because you go, like like Keith was just saying, with 836 00:49:19.559 --> 00:49:21.559 the vaccines, you go in, you got a symptom, here's 837 00:49:21.559 --> 00:49:24.119 your here's your pill, get out of here. And I 838 00:49:24.159 --> 00:49:26.920 think that's just totally missing, and that's why we have 839 00:49:27.000 --> 00:49:28.400 all these chronic diseases. 840 00:49:28.400 --> 00:49:29.920 And I think what also is we have to think 841 00:49:29.920 --> 00:49:32.039 of our future, of our kids when they see when 842 00:49:32.280 --> 00:49:34.440 when kids see their parents doing healthy choices, when they 843 00:49:34.440 --> 00:49:36.239 see them working out, then that's going to be a 844 00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:38.599 generational change and generations. 845 00:49:38.079 --> 00:49:40.079 What's going to drive our health and moness in the future. 846 00:49:40.280 --> 00:49:42.679 And what you mentioned about horses and fantastic things like, 847 00:49:42.960 --> 00:49:45.440 I believe that we're being farmed. I literally believe that 848 00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:48.519 in any aspect, whether it be through food, through hydration 849 00:49:48.719 --> 00:49:52.760 or sports drinks, or or or alcohol, tobacco, drugs, whatever 850 00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:55.519 it might be, that it's this culture of they want 851 00:49:55.519 --> 00:49:57.400 to leach us for all the money that we can 852 00:49:57.880 --> 00:49:59.800 and and and what do we end up in the end? 853 00:49:59.840 --> 00:50:02.599 We end up these diseased animals that have arthritis and 854 00:50:02.639 --> 00:50:05.480 all kinds of other things. When when if we pull 855 00:50:05.559 --> 00:50:08.719 back our money and stop buying this crap, we're gonna 856 00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:09.920 end up getting better in general? 857 00:50:10.440 --> 00:50:12.400 Well, I guess I have to look at this in 858 00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:15.320 the context. I mean, you know, tobacco, alcohol, you know, 859 00:50:15.400 --> 00:50:18.519 drugs generally speaking, been around since the dawn of mankind, 860 00:50:18.559 --> 00:50:20.679 since we found it figured out how to make ourselves 861 00:50:20.719 --> 00:50:25.239 feel better and otherwise perhaps painful environment. But we have 862 00:50:26.079 --> 00:50:30.360 also transformed the nature of food, which seems to me 863 00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:34.079 the education element that's missing. I mean, I'm old enough 864 00:50:34.119 --> 00:50:38.719 to remember the four four three two diet recommendations, you know, 865 00:50:38.800 --> 00:50:41.800 four servings of fruits and vegetables, you know, four servings 866 00:50:41.840 --> 00:50:45.119 of you know, carbohydrates, or is three servings of proteins. 867 00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:47.960 To remember that fact in the seventies, which is when 868 00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:51.000 the problem started. Well that's true, but you see, even 869 00:50:51.119 --> 00:50:55.400 if that was an accurate approach, it didn't address what 870 00:50:55.599 --> 00:51:00.199 specific types of foods we are consuming with any food category. 871 00:51:00.239 --> 00:51:02.079 And now as you started out you point it out, 872 00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:05.079 everything's got freaking corn syrup in it. Everything's got all 873 00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:09.119 these additives and preservatives that never existed in anyone's diet 874 00:51:09.159 --> 00:51:11.840 before the last forty years or so. So you could 875 00:51:11.880 --> 00:51:15.639 follow a strict, even if accurate, regiment, but still be 876 00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:18.599 filling your body with a bunch of nonsensical polliticans. 877 00:51:18.639 --> 00:51:21.039 And also, Brian, what if your car mechanic told you 878 00:51:21.039 --> 00:51:23.079 you needed to get your oil changes every thousand miles, 879 00:51:23.119 --> 00:51:24.440 You'd be like, you just want to get my money, 880 00:51:24.519 --> 00:51:26.159 get an oil changes. It doesn't need to be changed 881 00:51:26.159 --> 00:51:28.559 that frequently. Just like eating, we don't need to eat 882 00:51:28.559 --> 00:51:30.039 three meals a day. There's a lot of people who 883 00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:32.039 don't need to eat one meal a day. Sometimes, you know, 884 00:51:32.239 --> 00:51:34.639 we're eating too much. And that's and they're trying to 885 00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:37.960 push that food because it costs money, and that's what 886 00:51:38.000 --> 00:51:38.400 they want. 887 00:51:39.440 --> 00:51:41.400 Save your money, go drink some water. Well, and the 888 00:51:41.480 --> 00:51:45.599 ultra processed food quite often is less money, right, That's 889 00:51:45.639 --> 00:51:47.880 what it's weird. It's it's a manufactured it's a massive 890 00:51:47.920 --> 00:51:52.559 factory in Hastings, Nebraska, like ConAgra, and they churn out 891 00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:57.000 these very very low cost and of course you're going 892 00:51:57.039 --> 00:51:59.480 to gravitate toward that when the price of natural you know, 893 00:51:59.679 --> 00:52:02.639 orgame anchor Fresh Foods has gone through the ceiling. I mean, 894 00:52:02.719 --> 00:52:04.559 just a grocery shop with my wife the other day, 895 00:52:04.639 --> 00:52:09.280 dozen eggs was on sale like five bucks, right, and 896 00:52:09.480 --> 00:52:12.079 you know, so you want to go in that direction, 897 00:52:12.440 --> 00:52:14.920 but it's really expensive to do that. So I'm gonna 898 00:52:14.920 --> 00:52:17.119 go get the meal deal and get my two burgers 899 00:52:17.159 --> 00:52:18.239 for less than five. 900 00:52:18.639 --> 00:52:21.159 But hopefully you end up eating less because you're actually 901 00:52:21.199 --> 00:52:24.960 full of nutrition and not just you know product. 902 00:52:26.360 --> 00:52:28.119 Right, Well, that's kind of the goal that you were 903 00:52:28.159 --> 00:52:31.840 speaking of earlier. If you start focusing on the good 904 00:52:31.960 --> 00:52:36.079 stuff your body's I guess ultimate conclusion or working with 905 00:52:36.119 --> 00:52:39.119 your brain is well, you really don't need it. It's 906 00:52:39.800 --> 00:52:43.199 to me. I kind of you food these days, and 907 00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:46.960 it's it's tough many times, but I've fewed in the 908 00:52:47.000 --> 00:52:51.400 same way I view sort of impulse purchases. Right, Just 909 00:52:52.079 --> 00:52:54.719 think about it for a few minutes before you go 910 00:52:54.800 --> 00:52:57.280 down that road. We have what I call the carb 911 00:52:57.440 --> 00:53:00.519 cabinet corner. And you know, when I was on this 912 00:53:00.599 --> 00:53:02.320 kid to die, I would walk over to that just 913 00:53:02.360 --> 00:53:06.239 as a matter of routine and habit, and I'd open 914 00:53:06.280 --> 00:53:08.000 it up and I'd stare at it. And that's where 915 00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:10.119 the loaf of bread was, or the bag of chips 916 00:53:10.119 --> 00:53:12.000 that we used to buy that we don't buy anymore, 917 00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:13.760 that's where it was. And I would stare at it 918 00:53:13.840 --> 00:53:16.480 and say, well, I can't eat any of this stuff, 919 00:53:16.519 --> 00:53:18.920 and I'd close the cabinet. You know, twenty five minutes later, 920 00:53:18.960 --> 00:53:21.719 I'd be doing the same damn thing. And it caused 921 00:53:21.760 --> 00:53:25.159 me to look at my life and the way I 922 00:53:25.320 --> 00:53:28.039 what I was doing on a daily basis, Oh, what's 923 00:53:28.039 --> 00:53:30.800 a few chips, Grab a couple of chips out of 924 00:53:30.800 --> 00:53:32.760 the bag, you know. Okay, you do that at eleven 925 00:53:32.920 --> 00:53:35.239 thirty in the morning, and then maybe at one o'clock 926 00:53:35.280 --> 00:53:38.760 your back over the cab corner or carb corner, and oh, 927 00:53:38.800 --> 00:53:40.719 what's a big deal. It's just a few chips. And 928 00:53:40.760 --> 00:53:42.960 by the end of the day you've eaten maybe a 929 00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:45.639 bag or a bag of chips. So I try to 930 00:53:45.719 --> 00:53:49.639 view every one of my food choices as make a 931 00:53:49.679 --> 00:53:53.679 conscious decision. Is it is good for me it? Does 932 00:53:53.719 --> 00:53:55.199 it have a bunch of crap in it that I 933 00:53:55.239 --> 00:53:57.320 don't need? Does it have any sugar in it? That's 934 00:53:57.360 --> 00:54:00.760 my first point of inquiry at the outset, And if 935 00:54:00.760 --> 00:54:04.760 it does, I tell myself just don't eat. 936 00:54:04.599 --> 00:54:07.559 It right, you know. I mean you have to train yourself. 937 00:54:07.599 --> 00:54:09.639 COVID taught me one thing. One time I had COVID 938 00:54:09.679 --> 00:54:12.039 and I lost a complete, you know, sensation of taste, 939 00:54:12.039 --> 00:54:14.280 so I couldn't taste anything. It's quite funny. My kids 940 00:54:14.320 --> 00:54:16.599 were putting like hot spices on my tongue. I'm like, 941 00:54:16.599 --> 00:54:18.840 I got nothing here, guys, what are you doing? But 942 00:54:18.960 --> 00:54:20.639 then I realized when I ate a piece of candy 943 00:54:20.639 --> 00:54:22.000 and I couldn't taste it, and I'm like, well, what's 944 00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:23.920 the point of eating candy if I can't taste it? 945 00:54:24.039 --> 00:54:25.800 Which a unique is like, I wouldn't eat candy if 946 00:54:25.840 --> 00:54:27.320 I couldn't taste it. So what we're trying to do 947 00:54:27.360 --> 00:54:30.239 is we're trying to satisfy these taste buds for what 948 00:54:30.360 --> 00:54:34.000 neurochemistry benefits. I'm high of it. And that really turned 949 00:54:34.039 --> 00:54:36.079 me on to saying, listen, we need to be eating 950 00:54:36.119 --> 00:54:37.760 not because of what it tastes like, but what it 951 00:54:37.800 --> 00:54:40.719 can do for my you know, overall wellness. 952 00:54:40.400 --> 00:54:43.559 Right, And there is a lot to be said for that. 953 00:54:43.679 --> 00:54:45.960 It's we have to change our mindset, and it is not. 954 00:54:46.320 --> 00:54:49.039 It's an uphill challenge me. We'll get some practical tips 955 00:54:49.039 --> 00:54:50.800 from the gentleman about how to do that right now 956 00:54:50.840 --> 00:54:52.599 six twenty sixth fify if I've curious, the talk stats 957 00:54:52.599 --> 00:54:54.639 can bring them back in the studio for the full 958 00:54:54.679 --> 00:54:58.360 hour and uh. First, Chimney Care Fireplace and stove. I 959 00:54:58.440 --> 00:55:02.199 have been enjoying the out of my Chimneycare Fireplace is 960 00:55:02.239 --> 00:55:06.679 stove a gas fireplace insert just substantial improvement over the 961 00:55:06.719 --> 00:55:09.320 insert we had when the house was built, which an 962 00:55:09.320 --> 00:55:12.599 inspection revealed was a fire hazard. Yeah, don't use That 963 00:55:12.800 --> 00:55:15.320 was essentially the recommendation from Jeff Keyfer, owner of the 964 00:55:15.360 --> 00:55:17.960 Chimneycare Fireplace and still have been around since nineteen eighty eight. 965 00:55:18.039 --> 00:55:22.119 A plus of the BBB.

It's 1013 00:57:44.760 --> 00:57:47.639 an effort to raise awareness about what we're putting in 1014 00:57:47.719 --> 00:57:49.840 our bodies and provide you some resources to help you 1015 00:57:49.880 --> 00:57:53.039 make better choices. I asked you earlier. I wanted to 1016 00:57:53.079 --> 00:57:55.400 know how you two met. I understand it had something 1017 00:57:55.400 --> 00:57:56.519 to do with COVID. 1018 00:57:56.639 --> 00:57:59.719 Right, So during COVID I was one of those people 1019 00:57:59.800 --> 00:58:02.679 that was was very skeptical from the beginning the engineer 1020 00:58:02.760 --> 00:58:05.719 I am. I downloaded all the data and my conclusion was, 1021 00:58:05.800 --> 00:58:07.800 unless you were over the age of seventy, this is 1022 00:58:07.840 --> 00:58:12.280 a big don't care. And then of course all of 1023 00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:15.679 the frenzy, the lockdowns, you know, saying that a paper. 1024 00:58:15.480 --> 00:58:18.119 Mask will stop a virus. I mean, the engineering maybe 1025 00:58:18.199 --> 00:58:18.880 just went nuts. 1026 00:58:18.960 --> 00:58:21.639 Absolutely, And so you know, I got COVID once or 1027 00:58:21.679 --> 00:58:24.480 twice and it's like, what's the real treatment. And that's 1028 00:58:24.519 --> 00:58:27.840 when the whole ivermectin approached and I heard about this 1029 00:58:27.960 --> 00:58:29.920 guy out in Harrison that had a great way of 1030 00:58:30.000 --> 00:58:33.159 treating COVID was having a ton of success, and that 1031 00:58:33.360 --> 00:58:36.239 was Keith out out there doing you know, the ivermectin 1032 00:58:36.320 --> 00:58:37.239 and the other treatments. 1033 00:58:37.480 --> 00:58:40.639 Yeah. Success. If you mentioned ivermectin. Then that you were 1034 00:58:40.760 --> 00:58:44.199 viewed as some sort of crackpot yep horse pill horse. 1035 00:58:45.760 --> 00:58:50.039 And as we find out fast forward to today, it 1036 00:58:50.199 --> 00:58:55.039 had a very legitimate basis for some practitioner as yourself 1037 00:58:55.199 --> 00:58:58.400 or physician to recommend, but they wouldn't even allow pharmacies 1038 00:58:58.440 --> 00:58:59.880 to fill prescriptions for ivermec. 1039 00:59:00.280 --> 00:59:02.679 When I saw my first patient turn around with ivermec 1040 00:59:02.719 --> 00:59:05.239 and they were definitely sick, couldn't breathe, they were sent 1041 00:59:05.360 --> 00:59:07.599 away from an emergency room to go home and call 1042 00:59:07.679 --> 00:59:09.599 us at their SATs were low and whatever, and we 1043 00:59:09.719 --> 00:59:12.480 gave them ivermectin. And then two days later they called 1044 00:59:12.519 --> 00:59:14.440 me back and said they're doing so much better. Two 1045 00:59:14.559 --> 00:59:17.760 days later they went from from death's door to feeling 1046 00:59:17.880 --> 00:59:20.360 great again. I said, we got to keep doing this 1047 00:59:20.639 --> 00:59:23.599 and over and over and over, multiple patients getting better 1048 00:59:23.960 --> 00:59:26.239 two days later, two days later, two days later, and 1049 00:59:26.360 --> 00:59:29.360 it and people were it was a self referral at 1050 00:59:29.400 --> 00:59:30.800 that point in time. They were coming to get their 1051 00:59:30.840 --> 00:59:34.480 lives saved. It was I couldn not turn away from that. 1052 00:59:34.639 --> 00:59:36.679 That was my calling at that time of my life. 1053 00:59:36.800 --> 00:59:40.239 Was amazing well, and it was an off label use 1054 00:59:40.320 --> 00:59:42.400 for that particular drug, and I don't care what the 1055 00:59:42.440 --> 00:59:45.559 genesis is for it. But physicians have been doing off 1056 00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:48.719 label use of drugs for forever. I mean, if they 1057 00:59:48.840 --> 00:59:52.400 believe it would help you, and you have a discussion 1058 00:59:52.480 --> 00:59:55.760 with your patient about the upside risk and the downside risk, 1059 00:59:55.840 --> 00:59:58.440 the potentials, and you're in a desperate situation, you can 1060 00:59:58.480 --> 01:00:00.679 barely breathe, and your physician and says, you know what, 1061 01:00:00.880 --> 01:00:03.880 we can try this, and then they would allow it, 1062 01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:05.920 and then you would go ahead, and Brian, you. 1063 01:00:05.960 --> 01:00:07.880 Know what really made me wake up to this whole 1064 01:00:08.639 --> 01:00:11.079 problem that we had with fousing all this is number one. 1065 01:00:11.119 --> 01:00:13.280 In the beginning, all the pharmacies were given us. Ivermectin 1066 01:00:13.400 --> 01:00:16.719 wasn't a problem. I could get ivermectin at CVS, Walgreens, Krogers, 1067 01:00:16.760 --> 01:00:19.840 it didn't matter. And then then, Brian, what happened is 1068 01:00:19.880 --> 01:00:22.280 that they came out with this don't take a horse 1069 01:00:22.400 --> 01:00:25.719 medication for your COVID and then everybody started shutting it down. 1070 01:00:25.760 --> 01:00:27.480 And then we were lucky to be able to find 1071 01:00:27.559 --> 01:00:31.559 some really good pharmacies, mainly compounding pharmacies that were able 1072 01:00:31.599 --> 01:00:34.199 to give us this ivermectin, and then before you know, 1073 01:00:34.280 --> 01:00:37.760 we were able to still distribute this population but there 1074 01:00:37.880 --> 01:00:39.880 was a scary moment there when they used that. 1075 01:00:40.000 --> 01:00:41.800 I would call it a syop to shut it down. 1076 01:00:41.880 --> 01:00:43.480 And the reason that they shut it down is because 1077 01:00:43.480 --> 01:00:46.719 emergency Youth authorization for the vaccine was if there was 1078 01:00:46.800 --> 01:00:50.519 no cheap, alternative effective medication, and that was ivermectin. So 1079 01:00:50.639 --> 01:00:54.760 they squashed it so that they could promote this vaccine 1080 01:00:54.880 --> 01:00:57.920 and poor use of rimsevere which caused organ failure and 1081 01:00:58.039 --> 01:01:02.079 organ disease, not to mention them multiple intubations that were 1082 01:01:02.119 --> 01:01:06.480 possibly unnecessary because they should have used antihistamines. Fantastic time 1083 01:01:06.559 --> 01:01:09.280 for me for learning, but I just wish it didn't 1084 01:01:09.440 --> 01:01:10.480 come at the cost that it. 1085 01:01:10.480 --> 01:01:12.719 Did, no question. And it kind of reminds me of 1086 01:01:13.119 --> 01:01:18.079 Ice two commercials for an outfit that did bioidentical hormone 1087 01:01:18.119 --> 01:01:22.320 replacement therapy, and that's how they treat high cholesterol in 1088 01:01:22.559 --> 01:01:25.960 Europe bioidentical. And the problem is that pharmaceutical compani would 1089 01:01:26.000 --> 01:01:28.440 rather you be on one of their prescriptions like lipator, 1090 01:01:29.519 --> 01:01:32.320 which have their own independent problems. I mean, I want 1091 01:01:32.360 --> 01:01:35.039 to go down that avenue necessarily, but they try to 1092 01:01:35.119 --> 01:01:38.920 convince physicians that hormone replacement therapy is bad. But the 1093 01:01:39.000 --> 01:01:41.679 reason they don't like hormone and placement therapy because bioidentical 1094 01:01:41.800 --> 01:01:45.400 can't be patented and they can't make a special pharmaceutical 1095 01:01:45.519 --> 01:01:47.760 out of it that can be prescribed, even though it 1096 01:01:47.800 --> 01:01:50.239 will do wonders helping lower your cholesterol as well as 1097 01:01:50.239 --> 01:01:54.280 all the other traditional benefits of having appropriate level hormones, anyhow, 1098 01:01:54.559 --> 01:01:56.760 will continue. It's got to take a break now. Six 1099 01:01:56.800 --> 01:01:59.679 thirty six fifty five ks detoxication the dynamic duo of 1100 01:01:59.719 --> 01:02:02.320 Demis Street, doctor Fred Pack and doctor Meghan Freu. Meghan 1101 01:02:02.480 --> 01:02:04.599 is back. She was on attorney to leave there for 1102 01:02:04.679 --> 01:02:07.280 a while. The baby's great. She is outstanding and got 1103 01:02:07.320 --> 01:02:08.679 to se he when they had my teeth clean. It's 1104 01:02:08.679 --> 01:02:11.079 only been a few weeks. I love going to the dentists. 1105 01:02:11.079 --> 01:02:12.639 I know a lot of people don't, and I don't 1106 01:02:12.679 --> 01:02:15.239 know why, because I always feel just so refreshed coming 1107 01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:16.800 out of the dentists. I know I'm in good shape, 1108 01:02:16.880 --> 01:02:19.280 got a clean bill of health hopefully anyway. But when 1109 01:02:19.280 --> 01:02:21.639 you've got the team of Peck and Freu working with you, 1110 01:02:22.079 --> 01:02:24.119 you're going to be comfortable with the dentists. If you're 1111 01:02:24.159 --> 01:02:26.880 freaked out about dentistry, they do have sedation dentistry there, 1112 01:02:27.159 --> 01:02:29.719 but it's the most state of the art practice you 1113 01:02:29.760 --> 01:02:32.320 are ever gonna find. The people there treat you like family, 1114 01:02:32.679 --> 01:02:35.760 a very welcome environment. And so for those that struggle 1115 01:02:35.840 --> 01:02:38.800 with the concept of dentistry, you got to talk to 1116 01:02:38.920 --> 01:02:41.800 doctors Peck and Freu, especially Megan Freu. You won't talk 1117 01:02:41.840 --> 01:02:45.360 about bedside manner, but doctor Peck, he is a genius 1118 01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:48.000 in the field of cosmetic dentistry, one of the three 1119 01:02:48.199 --> 01:02:50.400 fellows in the entire state of Ohio that is a 1120 01:02:50.519 --> 01:02:55.639 certified of a fellow with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. 1121 01:02:55.800 --> 01:03:00.840 Brilliant life changing, transformative smile makeovers.

A very happy Monday to you talking help. 1134 01:03:35.280 --> 01:03:37.960 It's been a real interesting conversation this morning. George Brunneman, 1135 01:03:38.039 --> 01:03:41.480 otherwise normally talking about politics, has gotten involved with the 1136 01:03:41.920 --> 01:03:44.719 sort of awareness movement in terms of help what we're 1137 01:03:44.719 --> 01:03:46.639 putting in our bodies, what we should and shouldn't do. 1138 01:03:46.719 --> 01:03:48.639 Restore wellness dot Org is the name of the website 1139 01:03:48.880 --> 01:03:52.360 he's teamed up with nurse practitioner Keith Tennenfield, both of 1140 01:03:52.400 --> 01:03:55.199 them in studio. All Right, we're talking a little bit 1141 01:03:55.199 --> 01:03:58.679 about exercise and the break there, and I'll admit I 1142 01:03:58.800 --> 01:04:02.880 remind myself being self deprecating and critical of myself, as 1143 01:04:02.920 --> 01:04:06.639 I am always of that opening scene from Big Lebowski. 1144 01:04:06.679 --> 01:04:09.400 You know, the dude was the laziest man in Los 1145 01:04:09.480 --> 01:04:13.320 Angeles count That's me. I mean, I do, and I 1146 01:04:13.440 --> 01:04:16.079 have talked about it, and I will also point out 1147 01:04:16.320 --> 01:04:19.920 I think if you talk about pursuing a healthier lifestyle, 1148 01:04:20.400 --> 01:04:24.320 you're sort of out loud committing to people that That's 1149 01:04:24.320 --> 01:04:26.000 one of the reasons I've said it out loud on 1150 01:04:26.039 --> 01:04:29.440 the Ready to Force myself to live within what I 1151 01:04:29.719 --> 01:04:32.760 said I'm trying to do. But I'll be the first person. 1152 01:04:34.440 --> 01:04:37.280 I'm lazy man. I don't exercise, and my wife is 1153 01:04:37.320 --> 01:04:40.320 listening right now, going, no kidding, why don't you walk 1154 01:04:40.400 --> 01:04:43.599 the dog? Or you know, I'm watching a movie or something. 1155 01:04:43.679 --> 01:04:46.719 You know, where does that motivation come from? How can 1156 01:04:46.760 --> 01:04:49.280 you tap into that when you you got to force 1157 01:04:49.360 --> 01:04:52.320 yourself to do something that's that runs so contrary to 1158 01:04:52.440 --> 01:04:55.440 what you really want to do, which is just be lazy. Well, 1159 01:04:56.039 --> 01:04:57.559 one of the books out there that that's really good 1160 01:04:57.639 --> 01:05:00.440 is called The Primal Blueprint, basically talk about how we 1161 01:05:00.519 --> 01:05:02.239 want to get back to being cavement. And when it 1162 01:05:02.280 --> 01:05:06.519 came to exercise, his recommendation was play. If you do 1163 01:05:06.719 --> 01:05:09.480 nothing else, just go out and play if you if 1164 01:05:09.519 --> 01:05:11.679 you want to go and you know, shoot hoops for 1165 01:05:11.760 --> 01:05:14.480 five minutes and then that becomes ten, that becomes twenty, 1166 01:05:14.760 --> 01:05:16.400 or you want to play with the grandkids, which is 1167 01:05:16.480 --> 01:05:17.719 sort of the approach we're taking. 1168 01:05:18.159 --> 01:05:20.440 You know, get out there and move. The first step 1169 01:05:20.639 --> 01:05:26.079 is it doesn't have to be quote exercise, you know, dumbbells, machines, treadmills. 1170 01:05:26.199 --> 01:05:27.519 It's got to be move. 1171 01:05:28.039 --> 01:05:30.719 If you're just out there moving and you didn't used 1172 01:05:30.760 --> 01:05:32.960 to move. You're going to see a benefit from that, 1173 01:05:33.119 --> 01:05:35.440 and then that's sort of the hook to get you going. 1174 01:05:35.880 --> 01:05:37.920 I think that's the key to all of this wellness 1175 01:05:37.960 --> 01:05:40.800 stuff is to just get that first step. And you 1176 01:05:40.960 --> 01:05:43.320 already said the first step. The first step is acknowledging 1177 01:05:43.679 --> 01:05:44.679 this is something I need to do. 1178 01:05:44.920 --> 01:05:48.639 I have a problem. It's like the first step a step, 1179 01:05:49.119 --> 01:05:49.559 you know, Brian. 1180 01:05:49.599 --> 01:05:52.199 I think another good thing to remind myself is is 1181 01:05:52.239 --> 01:05:55.280 that I'm made for greatness, not comfort. And if I'm 1182 01:05:55.280 --> 01:05:57.840 sitting around doing comfortable things, then I'm not being great 1183 01:05:58.039 --> 01:05:59.840 And I'm want to be a great grandfather one day. 1184 01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:01.679 So constant in my back of my mind as I'm 1185 01:06:01.719 --> 01:06:03.599 saying to myself, how can I be greater at what 1186 01:06:03.679 --> 01:06:06.119 I'm doing right now? Say I am watching TV, Say 1187 01:06:06.159 --> 01:06:08.280 it's crappy outside, I can't do a damn thing. Well, 1188 01:06:08.280 --> 01:06:10.679 I can do barbells. I can take a five or 1189 01:06:10.800 --> 01:06:12.639 ten pound or twenty pound weight and just sit there 1190 01:06:12.679 --> 01:06:14.159 and watch, you know, whatever I want to a while 1191 01:06:14.199 --> 01:06:15.280 I'm doing bicep curls. 1192 01:06:15.400 --> 01:06:17.880 Yeah, I guess I don't know where it just went 1193 01:06:17.920 --> 01:06:21.519 away from me, cause I was a huge practitioner yoga. 1194 01:06:21.559 --> 01:06:24.039 I had a bulging lower lombard disc going back a 1195 01:06:24.119 --> 01:06:28.400 long time, late thirties, and I found out through doing 1196 01:06:28.559 --> 01:06:30.800 physical therapy to get rid of that. It was mostly 1197 01:06:30.960 --> 01:06:33.719 just a bunch of you know, sort of modified yoga poses. 1198 01:06:33.800 --> 01:06:35.719 Is why I started going down the yoga path. I 1199 01:06:35.800 --> 01:06:38.679 haven't had back problems in years, and I'm still extremely flexible. 1200 01:06:38.760 --> 01:06:41.679 But I used to get and sit down on the floor, 1201 01:06:41.719 --> 01:06:43.599 and I used to recommend it to my listeners. Listen, 1202 01:06:43.639 --> 01:06:45.840 if you're watching TV, just get on the floor and 1203 01:06:46.400 --> 01:06:49.280 do some yoga while you're watching TV. You can combine 1204 01:06:49.360 --> 01:06:52.760 that with the TV watching and you're accomplishing two things 1205 01:06:52.800 --> 01:06:55.519 at the same time. It'll solve your bag problems. I 1206 01:06:55.559 --> 01:06:57.679 don't know where that went, I really don't. I just 1207 01:06:57.880 --> 01:07:00.360 it just disappeared one day and it never came back. Well, 1208 01:07:00.400 --> 01:07:03.920 the natural effect anymore is to just gravitate to doing nothing. 1209 01:07:04.000 --> 01:07:07.199 The older you get and so our kind of age, George, 1210 01:07:07.239 --> 01:07:09.760 I think it is agent and it's familiarity. Right, You've 1211 01:07:09.760 --> 01:07:11.400 been doing this for so long. Why do I got 1212 01:07:11.519 --> 01:07:12.039 to keep doing this? 1213 01:07:12.239 --> 01:07:12.400 Right? 1214 01:07:12.440 --> 01:07:15.719 And I'm happy, I'm comfortable. I don't want anything more. 1215 01:07:16.000 --> 01:07:18.599 You know, if someone offered me, you know, five times 1216 01:07:18.679 --> 01:07:20.599 my current sour to pick up and move to some 1217 01:07:20.760 --> 01:07:23.079 other city. I would turn them down. I'm like, right, 1218 01:07:23.199 --> 01:07:26.519 you know, I may just become too comfortable in my 1219 01:07:26.800 --> 01:07:27.280 old age. 1220 01:07:27.320 --> 01:07:29.760 But the thing that woke us up is, you know, 1221 01:07:30.519 --> 01:07:32.960 you hear the stories, and you know I have personal 1222 01:07:33.039 --> 01:07:35.880 friends that fell down steps and that was the end. 1223 01:07:36.440 --> 01:07:39.039 I know of three people that died from falling down. 1224 01:07:39.559 --> 01:07:41.920 And so Nancy and I looked at things and this like, 1225 01:07:42.039 --> 01:07:45.679 you know, whatever happens, we're sixty five. Now, by the 1226 01:07:45.760 --> 01:07:47.920 time we're seventy, we still want to be able to 1227 01:07:47.960 --> 01:07:50.679 run around with the kids. Run being no I get it, 1228 01:07:51.079 --> 01:07:52.519 but go around with the kids. We want to be 1229 01:07:52.559 --> 01:07:53.880 able to get up off the floor. We don't want 1230 01:07:53.880 --> 01:07:56.159 to have to worry about falling down. All of that 1231 01:07:56.360 --> 01:07:58.719 just came back to saying, okay, we can't sit and 1232 01:07:58.920 --> 01:07:59.599 just do nothing. 1233 01:07:59.679 --> 01:08:00.280 We have to. 1234 01:08:01.159 --> 01:08:03.599 And of course, you know last night, she's already yelling 1235 01:08:03.639 --> 01:08:05.719 at me because I didn't work out yesterday. 1236 01:08:05.840 --> 01:08:09.079 So you know it had ability. It is a team yeah, 1237 01:08:09.159 --> 01:08:13.000 no teamwork. My wife and I shoveled the driveway together 1238 01:08:13.119 --> 01:08:15.400 the excellent day and we have done you know, I 1239 01:08:15.480 --> 01:08:18.039 said a lot work five times, so I did get 1240 01:08:18.079 --> 01:08:20.800 more exercise in the last week. Speaking of exercise, you 1241 01:08:20.920 --> 01:08:21.199 and Brian. 1242 01:08:21.199 --> 01:08:22.920 When I have a patient comes into my place and 1243 01:08:23.079 --> 01:08:25.680 they are exercising every day or five days a week, 1244 01:08:25.920 --> 01:08:27.239 they are my healthiest patients. 1245 01:08:27.239 --> 01:08:28.399 And I don't care what their age is. 1246 01:08:28.680 --> 01:08:31.000 If they are exercising, they're sitting on that table looking 1247 01:08:31.039 --> 01:08:35.520 amazingly healthy. So movement is key, made for greatness, not comfort. 1248 01:08:35.880 --> 01:08:39.119 So get up and move. Start with just doing something 1249 01:08:39.239 --> 01:08:41.479 other than sitting. Make it, pick a ball, whatever. 1250 01:08:41.600 --> 01:08:41.720 You know. 1251 01:08:41.800 --> 01:08:44.840 In our generation, this this current generation that grew up 1252 01:08:44.880 --> 01:08:47.520 in front of the video game consoles. I mean that's 1253 01:08:47.560 --> 01:08:49.560 a real problem and I think it's going to be 1254 01:08:49.600 --> 01:08:52.600 a pandemic, really correlation with the obesity epidemic with young 1255 01:08:52.640 --> 01:08:55.000 people too.

What are you going 1290 01:10:34.479 --> 01:10:37.199 to be doing by way of advocacy and so. 1291 01:10:37.319 --> 01:10:39.039 A couple of ways you're going about it. The first 1292 01:10:39.159 --> 01:10:43.199 is podcasting. So we did the press announcement for Restore 1293 01:10:43.239 --> 01:10:47.199 Wellness last Thursday. We're getting ready to start doing videos 1294 01:10:47.399 --> 01:10:50.520 and podcasts. We'll probably do the meetings at the farm 1295 01:10:50.560 --> 01:10:53.960 and you know, in cooperation with the Restore Liberty effort. 1296 01:10:55.039 --> 01:11:00.239 The x feed is extremely frutal ground right now.

I usually get a bunch of the 1303 01:11:19.039 --> 01:11:21.279 stuff that's coming out of the Make America Healthy Again 1304 01:11:21.920 --> 01:11:25.880 out there. Go to the website, send us an email. 1305 01:11:26.079 --> 01:11:30.640 Info at Restore Wellness dot org. Twitter's a great place. Hey, 1306 01:11:30.840 --> 01:11:35.000 we're back on Facebook too November suddenly, surprise, surprise, Restore 1307 01:11:35.039 --> 01:11:36.840 Liberty can can post again. 1308 01:11:37.000 --> 01:11:38.079 So I haven't. 1309 01:11:38.840 --> 01:11:40.800 I've spent so much time away from it since I 1310 01:11:40.800 --> 01:11:43.079 couldn't do anything, then I'm reluctant to go back. 1311 01:11:43.119 --> 01:11:44.039 But that's a place to go. 1312 01:11:44.840 --> 01:11:48.199 What we're looking for is if you've got a group, 1313 01:11:48.479 --> 01:11:51.479 even a you know, a small group of friends and neighbors, 1314 01:11:51.640 --> 01:11:54.319 or you've got a small company that wants to learn 1315 01:11:54.359 --> 01:11:57.920 more about this, we're open to going there, maybe filming 1316 01:11:57.960 --> 01:11:59.960 a podcast there where we talk about a topic that 1317 01:12:00.119 --> 01:12:03.279 you're interested in. So we're trying to grow the effort 1318 01:12:03.399 --> 01:12:06.760 right now. We'll be talking to some of the policymakers. 1319 01:12:07.319 --> 01:12:10.720 Certainly Warren Davidson's on board with this stuff. Good, hoping 1320 01:12:10.760 --> 01:12:13.199 to get Bernie Marino on board as well. So we're 1321 01:12:13.239 --> 01:12:16.520 going to go the political avenue, but we're consciously staying 1322 01:12:16.560 --> 01:12:18.079 away from politics with this effort. 1323 01:12:18.119 --> 01:12:18.920 Well, you know that's funny. 1324 01:12:19.119 --> 01:12:22.479 It's not left right, it's certainly political, but it's not 1325 01:12:22.640 --> 01:12:23.239 left right right. 1326 01:12:23.479 --> 01:12:26.119 I even commented on that we're talking about. We were 1327 01:12:26.199 --> 01:12:28.920 enjoying this conversation and of course for the Petubb Casey 1328 01:12:28.960 --> 01:12:31.199 morning shows normally politically focused, and I said, well, it's 1329 01:12:31.199 --> 01:12:34.239 really nice to get away from politics for a little while, 1330 01:12:34.319 --> 01:12:37.920 particularly giving what's going on in the world. But this 1331 01:12:38.079 --> 01:12:40.199 does involve I mean, as you quickly to point out, 1332 01:12:40.319 --> 01:12:43.439 this really is in many ways very political. I mean 1333 01:12:43.520 --> 01:12:47.119 the information we need and that we should know about, 1334 01:12:47.159 --> 01:12:49.319 for example, like what's in our foods and what we 1335 01:12:49.399 --> 01:12:52.479 are eating and what things like seed oils can do 1336 01:12:52.760 --> 01:12:55.720 to us is what we all need to know about, 1337 01:12:55.760 --> 01:12:58.520 but is being suppressed because of the powerful you know, 1338 01:12:59.039 --> 01:13:02.359 lots and the money and influencing government. 1339 01:13:02.000 --> 01:13:04.840 And the fact that the cigarette companies, when their profits 1340 01:13:04.880 --> 01:13:07.439 were going down because of the Surgeon General's warning, the 1341 01:13:07.479 --> 01:13:08.960 first thing they did is they went out and bought 1342 01:13:08.960 --> 01:13:15.399 all the food companies. So Jay Reynolds and Philip Morris 1343 01:13:15.640 --> 01:13:17.520 they own the food companies now. And the first thing 1344 01:13:17.560 --> 01:13:20.000 they did is set about making them addictive, which is 1345 01:13:20.039 --> 01:13:23.119 where high fruc dose corn syrup came from. But this 1346 01:13:23.279 --> 01:13:26.520 is stuff that Europe doesn't allow in their foods. So like, 1347 01:13:26.640 --> 01:13:30.520 for instance, I like a little caramel in my latte 1348 01:13:30.600 --> 01:13:33.640 in the morning. Right, If you buy Ghia deelli caramel 1349 01:13:33.760 --> 01:13:36.439 in the United States, it's sweetened with high fruit dose 1350 01:13:36.479 --> 01:13:39.800 corn syrup. If you buy it in Europe, it's cane sugar. 1351 01:13:40.760 --> 01:13:43.159 We can't get the cane suer option here. 1352 01:13:43.079 --> 01:13:47.119 Though, because they financed the government's paying people to grow 1353 01:13:47.359 --> 01:13:48.600 corn and giving it away. 1354 01:13:48.680 --> 01:13:51.479 Basically, you see, my libertarian philosophy would be, you know, 1355 01:13:51.960 --> 01:13:55.880 make your own choices. You get the education so you 1356 01:13:56.000 --> 01:13:58.760 can make informed decisions, right, but don't tell me what 1357 01:13:58.920 --> 01:14:01.199 I can and cannot do by way of how I 1358 01:14:01.359 --> 01:14:04.439 manufacture my product. If you make something that is deadly 1359 01:14:04.560 --> 01:14:07.239 or carcinogenic, we have a tort system which will allow 1360 01:14:07.279 --> 01:14:10.279 you to recover liability for your damages. But if I 1361 01:14:10.359 --> 01:14:13.359 got an option between the giedeli chocolate that's got corn 1362 01:14:13.439 --> 01:14:15.760 syrup in it and the one that's made naturally with 1363 01:14:15.880 --> 01:14:19.640 no preservatives or editives or artificial colors and flavors, I'm going. 1364 01:14:19.640 --> 01:14:22.079 To go with the latter options absolutely, unless the government 1365 01:14:22.119 --> 01:14:23.800 puts their thumb on the scale and says we're going 1366 01:14:23.840 --> 01:14:25.920 to make the one cheap and the other expensive. And 1367 01:14:26.039 --> 01:14:28.600 that's where the politics is in this now. It's putting 1368 01:14:28.640 --> 01:14:30.680 the thumb on the scale. We got to get rid 1369 01:14:30.720 --> 01:14:33.800 of that. That's a political effort. But for the most part, 1370 01:14:34.000 --> 01:14:37.520 but education can overcome these challenges. And I think that's 1371 01:14:37.600 --> 01:14:39.560 the beauty of what you fellows are trying to do 1372 01:14:39.720 --> 01:14:43.319 here with again Restore Wellness dot org. Find them online 1373 01:14:43.359 --> 01:14:46.119 and get an x and follow them, get the tweets, 1374 01:14:46.159 --> 01:14:49.319 get the information that's coming out, and pay attention. It's 1375 01:14:49.359 --> 01:14:51.159 within your power to a little a healthier life and 1376 01:14:51.239 --> 01:14:54.800 a pain free life and one that's got fewer challenges. 1377 01:14:54.880 --> 01:14:56.640 We just got to kind of take the bull by 1378 01:14:56.680 --> 01:15:00.520 the horns educate ourselves into making proper choices. Thank you, 1379 01:15:00.680 --> 01:15:03.800 gentlemen for helping us all achieve those goals and make 1380 01:15:03.880 --> 01:15:07.199 us a better healthier society. Six fifty six stick around, 1381 01:15:07.199 --> 01:15:09.079 We get a little talk about Christopher Smithman coming on 1382 01:15:09.239 --> 01:15:11.119 seven to twenty with a Smither event Money Monday with 1383 01:15:11.159 --> 01:15:12.239 Brian James adatoh five. 1384 01:15:12.279 --> 01:15:13.119 I'll be right back. 1385 01:15:13.600 --> 01:15:19.560 Your voice refreshing your country for reasonable American. 1386 01:15:19.760 --> 01:15:22.279 Fifty five KRC, the Talk Station. 1387 01:15:23.319 --> 01:15:25.359 This report is sponsored. 1388 01:15:39.960 --> 01:15:44.800 Seven oh six at fifty five KRC, the Talk Station, 1389 01:15:45.000 --> 01:15:47.960 Brian Thomas USh and everyone that very happy Monday, interesting 1390 01:15:48.000 --> 01:15:53.399 conversation with those guys about health. Generally speaking, now I'll 1391 01:15:53.399 --> 01:15:55.680 speak on my own experiences because I just kind of 1392 01:15:55.720 --> 01:15:58.399 want to put at least a relatable face on the 1393 01:15:58.479 --> 01:16:00.680 challenges you face when it comes to try to be 1394 01:16:00.920 --> 01:16:03.920 motivated to do something like exercise. I get it, man, 1395 01:16:04.079 --> 01:16:08.159 I get it. It's not easy. It really isn't. But 1396 01:16:08.439 --> 01:16:11.880 hopefully those guys will serve to help at least educate people. 1397 01:16:11.960 --> 01:16:14.479 And the more information we have, the better our choices 1398 01:16:14.520 --> 01:16:16.239 can be. And that's really that's what it's all about. 1399 01:16:16.319 --> 01:16:18.479 And when you find out your government is operating against 1400 01:16:18.560 --> 01:16:22.159 you in many respects, as we learned more and more 1401 01:16:22.239 --> 01:16:27.520 and more, For example, Mark Zuckerberg speaking with Joe Rogan 1402 01:16:27.640 --> 01:16:33.920 last week. At least he's being honest now talking about 1403 01:16:33.920 --> 01:16:36.239 how the Department of Justice was telling them what they 1404 01:16:36.359 --> 01:16:40.239 can and cannot talk about. I mean, he said, I'm 1405 01:16:40.279 --> 01:16:43.960 generally pro rolling out vaccines. I didn't think on balance, 1406 01:16:43.960 --> 01:16:46.479 the vaccines are more positive than negative. I did think 1407 01:16:46.520 --> 01:16:49.399 on balance, but I think that while we're trying to 1408 01:16:49.439 --> 01:16:52.319 push that program, they also tried they the government Department 1409 01:16:52.359 --> 01:16:55.000 of Justice tried to censor anyone who is basically arguing 1410 01:16:55.079 --> 01:16:58.760 against it, and they pushed us super hard to take 1411 01:16:58.920 --> 01:17:04.680 down things that one were true. They'll be Mark Zuckerberg, 1412 01:17:04.760 --> 01:17:09.760 the Meta CEO, the Facebook guy. They basically pushed us 1413 01:17:09.840 --> 01:17:13.199 and said anything that says that vaccines might have side effects, 1414 01:17:13.359 --> 01:17:18.199 you basically need to take down. Joe Rogan following up, 1415 01:17:18.279 --> 01:17:20.680 who is they who's telling you to take down things 1416 01:17:20.760 --> 01:17:26.079 that talk about vaccine side effects. Zuckerberger's answer, It was 1417 01:17:26.159 --> 01:17:30.279 people in the Biden administration, he claimed, and he said 1418 01:17:30.279 --> 01:17:33.039 out loud, I wasn't involved in those conversations directly. These 1419 01:17:33.159 --> 01:17:35.920 people from the Biden administration, he said, would call up 1420 01:17:35.960 --> 01:17:42.079 our team and scream at them and curse. Adding to 1421 01:17:42.119 --> 01:17:44.840 the Biden administration demanded this company, in his words, take 1422 01:17:44.960 --> 01:17:49.199 down this meme of Leonard Leonardo DiCaprio looking at a 1423 01:17:49.279 --> 01:17:52.039 TV talking about how ten years from now you're going 1424 01:17:52.079 --> 01:17:53.600 to be seeing an ad that says if you took 1425 01:17:53.600 --> 01:17:56.439 a COVID vaccine you're eligible for some kind of payment, 1426 01:17:57.279 --> 01:18:02.199 this class action lawsuit type meme, and they're like, you 1427 01:18:02.359 --> 01:18:09.279 have to take that down. Of course, that being humor 1428 01:18:09.319 --> 01:18:11.760 and satire. You said, there were instances in which Meta 1429 01:18:11.840 --> 01:18:14.479 refused to take down humor and satire, resulting in Joe 1430 01:18:14.520 --> 01:18:20.039 Biden accusing Meta of in his words, killing people and 1431 01:18:20.119 --> 01:18:22.399 speaker with Rogan he said, and then all these different 1432 01:18:22.439 --> 01:18:26.199 agencies and branches of government basically started investigating and coming 1433 01:18:26.359 --> 01:18:35.399 after our company. Ah, the power of government, the threat 1434 01:18:35.520 --> 01:18:38.880 of government. Going back to Eric Holder's operation choke Point 1435 01:18:38.960 --> 01:18:41.399 or choke holderever, it was threatening banks that were doing 1436 01:18:41.479 --> 01:18:46.479 businesses with legitimate lawful businesses like gun manufacturers and payday lenders, 1437 01:18:46.920 --> 01:18:51.479 threatening the banks with regulatory oversight and audits, compliance audits 1438 01:18:51.520 --> 01:18:54.279 if they didn't fall in line and do what the 1439 01:18:54.479 --> 01:18:58.199 Justice Department said, which was don't do business with these 1440 01:18:58.800 --> 01:19:01.920 lawful entity or we're coming after you. 1441 01:19:03.239 --> 01:19:03.479 Hmm. 1442 01:19:04.600 --> 01:19:08.840 Excuse me, be a parallel with well George and keeps 1443 01:19:08.880 --> 01:19:10.319 me talking about In the last segment, let's go to 1444 01:19:10.319 --> 01:19:11.960 the phones.

Yes, I met Teith Tenhunfeld, your previous 1448 01:19:19.880 --> 01:19:22.880 guest two years ago when I had COVID and I 1449 01:19:23.039 --> 01:19:26.119 was referred to him as a person who could help 1450 01:19:26.199 --> 01:19:29.239 me with the ivermect and I got it, and like 1451 01:19:29.359 --> 01:19:34.039 you said, I was symptoms were gone within a day 1452 01:19:34.119 --> 01:19:34.359 or two. 1453 01:19:34.840 --> 01:19:37.840 It's amazing, isn't it. And I'm telling you, I mean, 1454 01:19:38.159 --> 01:19:41.319 it's still almost like an open nerve. When you mentioned 1455 01:19:41.399 --> 01:19:45.199 the word ivermectin, we heard so many times over and 1456 01:19:45.399 --> 01:19:50.239 over and over again, the horse pill, the horse tee warmer, 1457 01:19:50.359 --> 01:19:53.119 and no, you can't take that, it won't do anything 1458 01:19:53.279 --> 01:19:56.279 for you, when medical practitioners would have otherwise given it 1459 01:19:56.359 --> 01:19:58.720 to you. And then the pressure on doctors to not 1460 01:19:59.000 --> 01:20:01.880 provide that as an alternative out of fear they were 1461 01:20:01.880 --> 01:20:05.079 going to lose their medical licenses exactly. 1462 01:20:06.439 --> 01:20:12.640 And on a health related note, I also I would 1463 01:20:12.760 --> 01:20:15.720 like to mention that some square dancing classes are starting this. 1464 01:20:20.119 --> 01:20:22.439 Todd was at listener lunch the other day talking about 1465 01:20:22.439 --> 01:20:24.800 the square dancing. He would love people to take up 1466 01:20:24.840 --> 01:20:27.760 square dancing. Todd wants to have a partner to dance 1467 01:20:27.840 --> 01:20:30.680 with the alamanna left and Alamanna rife, whatever the hell 1468 01:20:30.760 --> 01:20:33.039 that means. But as I mentioned to Todd, and every 1469 01:20:33.079 --> 01:20:35.960 time he brings up square dancing, and there are opportunities 1470 01:20:36.000 --> 01:20:39.920 to square dance, I can't think of the The Bugs Bunny, 1471 01:20:39.960 --> 01:20:41.760 one of my favorite cartoons of all tying The Bugs 1472 01:20:41.800 --> 01:20:46.520 Bunny square dancing. So where's the class, Todd, Let let people. 1473 01:20:46.399 --> 01:20:51.560 Know a Tuesday nights and Thursday nights. On Tuesday nights, 1474 01:20:51.960 --> 01:20:54.840 it's at the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Love One. Okay, 1475 01:20:55.680 --> 01:20:57.039 starts at seven point thirty. 1476 01:20:57.720 --> 01:20:58.800 That's my neck of the woods. 1477 01:20:59.399 --> 01:21:02.479 And it might be good to start a little early 1478 01:21:02.640 --> 01:21:06.239 because the doors open early. Okay, But the class starts 1479 01:21:06.239 --> 01:21:10.399 at seven thirty. And then at the on Thursdays, the 1480 01:21:10.600 --> 01:21:13.439 class starts at six point thirty and it's at the 1481 01:21:13.560 --> 01:21:18.159 Wyoming Civic Center at the corner of Springfield Park and Worthington. 1482 01:21:18.359 --> 01:21:21.079 All right, and class starts at six thirty, but the 1483 01:21:21.119 --> 01:21:22.319 door's open at six o'clock. 1484 01:21:22.399 --> 01:21:24.960 Opportunity to mount people and shake hands and engage in 1485 01:21:25.039 --> 01:21:28.119 some fellowship before you start square dancing. So when you're 1486 01:21:28.119 --> 01:21:29.359 partner round and round. 1487 01:21:30.560 --> 01:21:35.000 Takes a lot of steps and it's a fellowship and 1488 01:21:35.119 --> 01:21:35.720 everything else. 1489 01:21:36.079 --> 01:21:38.239 I wish you the best of luck in getting people 1490 01:21:38.319 --> 01:21:41.319 engaged in square dancing. You won't see me at Principece. 1491 01:21:41.359 --> 01:21:43.079 So even though it's really close to where I live, 1492 01:21:43.159 --> 01:21:46.279 I just im that's not a road I'm going to 1493 01:21:46.319 --> 01:21:48.319 go down. But then again, I don't like to dance anyway. 1494 01:21:48.399 --> 01:21:50.600 Talk to my wife about that. It's a source of frustration. 1495 01:21:50.720 --> 01:21:54.319 It has been since we well met. I've went three 1496 01:21:54.399 --> 01:21:58.920 seven eight two three talks. Yeah. So, in addition to 1497 01:22:00.600 --> 01:22:05.279 Mark Zuckerberg coming clean on well, having to cave into 1498 01:22:05.439 --> 01:22:09.840 government pressure removing information that he even knew to be 1499 01:22:09.960 --> 01:22:14.479 true because government said, don't spread the information much in 1500 01:22:14.560 --> 01:22:17.239 the same way they said ivermicted wouldn't help you at all. 1501 01:22:17.720 --> 01:22:20.319 They wanted you to get the JAB. Doctors were incentivized 1502 01:22:20.359 --> 01:22:22.159 to give you the JAB. I guess they got paid 1503 01:22:22.199 --> 01:22:24.800 extra money to do that. And we'll move away from 1504 01:22:25.199 --> 01:22:29.439 perhaps alternative remedies and opportunities for you to get well. 1505 01:22:31.560 --> 01:22:34.479 He also got rid of DEI. Mark Zuckerberg terminated to 1506 01:22:34.560 --> 01:22:39.560 the diversity equity inclusion programs effective immediately. This was just 1507 01:22:39.680 --> 01:22:42.520 reported a couple of days ago. Instead to build initiatives 1508 01:22:42.560 --> 01:22:45.319 that focus on how to apply fair and consistent practices 1509 01:22:45.399 --> 01:22:47.760 that mitigate bias for all them out of your background. 1510 01:22:49.600 --> 01:22:53.720 Why the legal and policy landscape surrounding diversity, equity and 1511 01:22:53.800 --> 01:22:56.720 inclusion efforts in the United States is changing, he said. 1512 01:22:57.319 --> 01:23:00.319 He pointed out the Supreme Court made decisions signal a 1513 01:23:00.479 --> 01:23:03.880 shift in how courts are approaching DEI The term DEI, 1514 01:23:04.039 --> 01:23:06.920 he said, has become change in part because it's understood 1515 01:23:06.920 --> 01:23:10.199 by some as a practice suggesting preferential treatment of some 1516 01:23:10.399 --> 01:23:14.520 groups over others. At least that's from Janet Gale, VP 1517 01:23:14.640 --> 01:23:21.840 of Human Resources at Meta. Therefore, Meta will no longer 1518 01:23:21.920 --> 01:23:27.199 have a DEI team. Hmm, they say. Maxine william the 1519 01:23:27.359 --> 01:23:29.720 company's chief diversity officer, is going to begin a new 1520 01:23:29.840 --> 01:23:36.680 role focusing on accessibility and engagement. That from again Janelle Gale, 1521 01:23:36.840 --> 01:23:42.960 VP of Human Resources. What is accessibility and engagement? Is 1522 01:23:42.960 --> 01:23:47.279 that DEI with a different, different phrasing, I guess probably. 1523 01:23:48.760 --> 01:23:51.479 Memo also announced changes to the company's hiring, development, and 1524 01:23:51.520 --> 01:23:53.840 procurement practices, saying that they are no longer going to 1525 01:23:53.880 --> 01:23:59.159 focus solely on sourcing business suppliers from diverse own businesses, 1526 01:23:59.199 --> 01:24:03.079 in other words, no racial check marks. Instead, they say, 1527 01:24:03.239 --> 01:24:05.920 in their words, their focus efforts on supporting small and 1528 01:24:06.000 --> 01:24:09.359 medium sized businesses that provide that power much of our economy. 1529 01:24:10.159 --> 01:24:13.359 Meta will continue seeking employees from diverse backgrounds, but will 1530 01:24:13.439 --> 01:24:16.640 no longer be using its, in their words, diverse slate 1531 01:24:16.880 --> 01:24:20.920 hiring approach, which is designed to ensure every pool of 1532 01:24:21.000 --> 01:24:27.119 candidates considered for position is diversified in other words, meets 1533 01:24:27.239 --> 01:24:30.640 specific racial or other ethnic categories. We believe there are 1534 01:24:30.680 --> 01:24:33.760 other ways to build industry leading workforce and leverage teams 1535 01:24:34.520 --> 01:24:39.520 made up of world class people from all types of backgrounds. 1536 01:24:40.560 --> 01:24:44.840 The VP stated, world class people from all types of backgrounds. 1537 01:24:44.880 --> 01:24:47.439 You know what that sounds like, merit. We are going 1538 01:24:47.479 --> 01:24:50.520 to be hiring the best in the business. We're looking 1539 01:24:50.600 --> 01:24:53.520 at small medium sized businesses. They're great.

I extend my heart out to 1618 01:28:59.119 --> 01:29:05.039 those citizens, Americans in California who had lost everything. You know, 1619 01:29:05.239 --> 01:29:09.600 as a financial planner, still today the majority of Americans 1620 01:29:10.359 --> 01:29:13.159 have their wealth tied up, a lot of it in 1621 01:29:13.279 --> 01:29:17.439 their homes, their equity, and in a state where people 1622 01:29:17.640 --> 01:29:24.119 can't even get fire insurance, blood insurance, earthquake insurance. That 1623 01:29:24.359 --> 01:29:26.640 there are people that are living on the edge and 1624 01:29:26.880 --> 01:29:31.920 never believe, Bryan, that a fire would take out everything 1625 01:29:32.199 --> 01:29:35.479 that they have owned. So if I'm the governor from 1626 01:29:35.600 --> 01:29:39.119 Governor Newsom of California, there are a few things when 1627 01:29:39.159 --> 01:29:41.680 I wake up that I'm going to think about. One 1628 01:29:41.920 --> 01:29:46.119 is the possibility of an earthquake and the possibility of 1629 01:29:46.239 --> 01:29:50.239 a fire. How in the world could you have a 1630 01:29:50.399 --> 01:29:55.359 mayor Bath have a Governor Newsom have reservoirs that are 1631 01:29:55.560 --> 01:30:01.239 empty and a focus on endangered fish. Where you have 1632 01:30:01.479 --> 01:30:05.279 a community left without fire, hydrants that are not working, 1633 01:30:05.680 --> 01:30:09.119 that have no water, and not a clear plan of 1634 01:30:09.239 --> 01:30:13.880 evacuation of citizens who now we know twenty four are dead. 1635 01:30:14.199 --> 01:30:15.600 You and I know they are going to be a 1636 01:30:15.720 --> 01:30:17.039 lot more by the time. 1637 01:30:16.920 --> 01:30:18.920 This whole thing is over, but. 1638 01:30:19.119 --> 01:30:24.199 The shame on all of them. D in California stands 1639 01:30:24.279 --> 01:30:28.479 for a disaster, not Democrat. Brother. I am just blown 1640 01:30:28.560 --> 01:30:31.800 away by what is going to even occur today and 1641 01:30:31.960 --> 01:30:36.000 tomorrow with the high winds, as if California has not 1642 01:30:36.319 --> 01:30:39.279 had high winds before. And my last part of this 1643 01:30:39.359 --> 01:30:42.399 event is to think about a mayor, a mayor bass 1644 01:30:42.800 --> 01:30:46.279 who announces that we are having some type of an 1645 01:30:46.319 --> 01:30:50.880 emergency and then flies to Africa. What sense does that 1646 01:30:51.239 --> 01:30:55.760 make for any leader to say we're experiencing some type 1647 01:30:55.800 --> 01:30:58.479 of an emergency and then leave town. 1648 01:31:00.119 --> 01:31:04.079 Vice mayor is apparently suspended for I guess calling in 1649 01:31:04.119 --> 01:31:06.640 a bomb threat, leaving I guess no one in control 1650 01:31:06.640 --> 01:31:09.239 of the city for the time being. We'll bring Christopher back. 1651 01:31:09.319 --> 01:31:11.279 Sounds like he's got more in his chest. I imagine 1652 01:31:11.319 --> 01:31:13.239 he does seven twenty five if you five K City 1653 01:31:13.319 --> 01:31:15.960 Talk station. I want to mention affordable imaging services, because 1654 01:31:16.239 --> 01:31:18.439 imaging can be affordable if you don't go to the 1655 01:31:18.520 --> 01:31:21.279 hospital imaging department. Check out the overhead in that place. 1656 01:31:21.840 --> 01:31:23.680 From the moment you walk in the hospital door. Just 1657 01:31:23.720 --> 01:31:26.319 look around you. Everything that must be paid for and 1658 01:31:26.479 --> 01:31:29.720 run and air conditioned and heated and parking lots and 1659 01:31:29.840 --> 01:31:33.119 massive buildings and empty hospital beds and all of it. Well, 1660 01:31:33.239 --> 01:31:35.319 they make a lot of that profit up in the 1661 01:31:35.359 --> 01:31:37.800 hospital imaging department, where a CT scan can set you 1662 01:31:37.920 --> 01:31:41.840 back five thousand dollars. Hey, new calendar year, new round 1663 01:31:41.880 --> 01:31:44.800 of out of pocket responsibility, got ninety two hundred dollars. 1664 01:31:44.840 --> 01:31:46.359 Staring in the face, you're gonna have to go out 1665 01:31:46.399 --> 01:31:48.560 of pocket before insurance even kicks in. What about that 1666 01:31:48.760 --> 01:31:52.039 five thousand dollars CT scan bill you're gonna get. Oh, 1667 01:31:52.319 --> 01:31:53.880 and add on to it a separate bill for the 1668 01:31:53.960 --> 01:31:57.840 radiologist report, and maybe separate for the contrast, etc. How 1669 01:31:57.840 --> 01:32:01.039 about affordable imaging services where that CT scan without a 1670 01:32:01.119 --> 01:32:04.119 contrast is four hundred and fifty bucks CT with contrast 1671 01:32:04.239 --> 01:32:07.800 six hundred. Yes, the overhead is extremely low at affordable 1672 01:32:07.800 --> 01:32:11.560 imaging services. That's the point. You get the same hospital 1673 01:32:11.600 --> 01:32:15.840 imaging equipment and they're at affordable imaging. Medical professionals have 1674 01:32:15.880 --> 01:32:17.920 been at this for decades and they only charge you 1675 01:32:18.039 --> 01:32:20.800 a mere fraction of the cost. I had a CT 1676 01:32:20.960 --> 01:32:23.479 scan there done. My cancer doctor had no problem with 1677 01:32:23.560 --> 01:32:25.680 the imaging. I of course had a problem with the 1678 01:32:25.960 --> 01:32:28.960 what it showed, but that's what it's everybody's going to 1679 01:32:29.000 --> 01:32:31.520 get an image like that, mri CT scan, echo cardiogram, 1680 01:32:31.680 --> 01:32:35.039 ultrasundlung screening, your cardiac scoring. It's all available for a 1681 01:32:35.279 --> 01:32:38.439 tiny fraction of what the hospital charges. Check it out 1682 01:32:38.520 --> 01:32:42.520 online Affordable Medimaging dot com.

Hey, real quick 1708 01:33:54.439 --> 01:33:58.439 here Christopher, on your rant with politicians and they're stupid mistakes. 1709 01:33:58.680 --> 01:34:01.079 I got to read you this para two paragraphs from 1710 01:34:01.159 --> 01:34:06.319 an article I found on Free Beacon. This problem with 1711 01:34:06.560 --> 01:34:10.399 the forest and the tinder and the easily ignitable environment 1712 01:34:10.479 --> 01:34:12.800 they have created has been known for a long time. 1713 01:34:12.880 --> 01:34:15.560 This isn't like something that's snuck up on them. I mean, 1714 01:34:15.600 --> 01:34:18.079 we all can remember multiple fires that have occurred over 1715 01:34:18.119 --> 01:34:21.039 the past four or five years. I know one of 1716 01:34:22.399 --> 01:34:27.560 the politicians, Miss McClintock. Tom McClintock from California pointed out 1717 01:34:27.600 --> 01:34:31.479 and I read this fun fact this morning. A UCLA 1718 01:34:31.800 --> 01:34:36.039 study estimated to California's twenty twenty fires released twice as 1719 01:34:36.119 --> 01:34:39.279 much greenhouse gas into the atmosphere as had been prevented 1720 01:34:39.359 --> 01:34:43.640 by the prior eighteen years of government and force restrictions 1721 01:34:43.680 --> 01:34:46.720 on greenhouse gases. So what was just one calendar year 1722 01:34:47.079 --> 01:34:49.520 and the twenty twenty fire pales in comparison to what's 1723 01:34:49.560 --> 01:34:51.840 going on now. But let me just read this here. 1724 01:34:51.960 --> 01:34:53.920 The state is known for years at the plotting pace 1725 01:34:53.960 --> 01:34:56.319 of its fire prevention efforts is a problem. Early in 1726 01:34:56.399 --> 01:35:00.960 his term, Governor Newsom launch the California Vegetation Treatment Program, 1727 01:35:01.039 --> 01:35:06.119 which designed speed environmental reviews for forest management projects. Two 1728 01:35:06.239 --> 01:35:11.960 years after launching the program, zero completed projects. The Free 1729 01:35:12.000 --> 01:35:14.760 Breaking review the program's latest data found that the five 1730 01:35:14.840 --> 01:35:17.920 hundred and twenty five approved projects spanning six hundred and 1731 01:35:17.960 --> 01:35:21.199 sixty six thousand acres, only two hundred and thirty one 1732 01:35:21.319 --> 01:35:25.640 projects dealing with only six thousand acres have been completed. 1733 01:35:26.359 --> 01:35:28.880 There are only two projects located in the Los Angeles 1734 01:35:28.960 --> 01:35:32.399 metro area dealing with one hundred and thirty acres, a 1735 01:35:32.520 --> 01:35:35.840 fuel reduction project proposed by the Los Angeles County Fire Department, 1736 01:35:36.359 --> 01:35:41.600 both incomplete and finally, a separate interagency database created by 1737 01:35:41.680 --> 01:35:45.399 Newsom's California Wildlife and Forest Resilience Task Force shows the 1738 01:35:45.479 --> 01:35:48.840 state and federal agencies have completed forest management projects across 1739 01:35:49.359 --> 01:35:52.920 only fifty four thousand, almost fifty five thousand acres in 1740 01:35:53.000 --> 01:35:55.920 southern California between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty three. 1741 01:35:56.680 --> 01:36:00.800 For contacts, the Angelus National Forest alone is more than 1742 01:36:00.920 --> 01:36:04.520 six hundred and fifty thousand acres. They're their own worst enemy. 1743 01:36:04.600 --> 01:36:07.439 They go into glorious detail about every time they try 1744 01:36:07.479 --> 01:36:10.000 to do one of these projects, they get sued by 1745 01:36:10.159 --> 01:36:13.079 environmental groups who stand in the way of forest management. 1746 01:36:13.319 --> 01:36:15.880 I mean, it's just like we need to do it 1747 01:36:16.000 --> 01:36:17.680 on one side, and then on the other side, they 1748 01:36:17.720 --> 01:36:20.399 got all these laws that prevent the things from moving forward. 1749 01:36:20.640 --> 01:36:21.880 It's backcrap insane. 1750 01:36:25.000 --> 01:36:30.800 It's just amazing, man, how policies can like these can 1751 01:36:31.000 --> 01:36:34.600 just destroy an entire community and they matter. You know, 1752 01:36:34.840 --> 01:36:39.479 when I hear about this endangered fish that Governor Newsom 1753 01:36:39.600 --> 01:36:43.000 was so worried about that they put a damn in place, 1754 01:36:43.680 --> 01:36:48.720 and we absolutely know that that has impacted the ability 1755 01:36:49.119 --> 01:36:52.640 for those people in California to have access to water. 1756 01:36:53.239 --> 01:36:56.840 They cared more about the fish, and I'm not talking 1757 01:36:56.840 --> 01:37:01.319 about multiple fish, a specific type of fish. Then they 1758 01:37:01.520 --> 01:37:06.279 did the citizens of California who are still losing everything. 1759 01:37:06.640 --> 01:37:11.399 Brian, Yeah, well I read that that fish has not 1760 01:37:11.560 --> 01:37:15.520 been seen by mankind for the last decade. They don't 1761 01:37:15.560 --> 01:37:17.760 have any sign that the thing's still around. Now that's 1762 01:37:17.800 --> 01:37:20.439 a sad thing. I'm sorry we've killed yet another species 1763 01:37:20.479 --> 01:37:22.279 in the world. But you know, in the final analysis, 1764 01:37:22.640 --> 01:37:24.760 they're trying to fight a battle on behalf of something 1765 01:37:24.800 --> 01:37:26.279 that may not even exist anymore. 1766 01:37:27.760 --> 01:37:31.640 That's it's it is amazing. I'll give a personal side note, 1767 01:37:32.079 --> 01:37:36.239 and that is, as you know our family, we are 1768 01:37:36.359 --> 01:37:42.319 farmers and just ironically, we did a selective clearing on 1769 01:37:42.600 --> 01:37:46.760 that property where my son went down, worked with Forestreet 1770 01:37:47.439 --> 01:37:50.920 and did a selective clearing on that property to make 1771 01:37:51.039 --> 01:37:54.800 sure that in the event of fire, we're lowering the 1772 01:37:54.920 --> 01:37:57.720 chances of burning down not only our property, but our 1773 01:37:57.800 --> 01:38:01.319 neighbor's property. And so that's what you do. And so 1774 01:38:01.680 --> 01:38:05.600 literally last year I was working with a forestryt consultant 1775 01:38:05.800 --> 01:38:09.680 on our property doing that clearing, preparing the land and 1776 01:38:09.760 --> 01:38:12.439 making sure that it is as safe as it possibly 1777 01:38:12.560 --> 01:38:15.199 can be. So I'm just sharing with you this is 1778 01:38:15.319 --> 01:38:19.640 not rocket science. This is failed leadership in California. And 1779 01:38:19.800 --> 01:38:23.000 I'm telling voters over there and voters here. We just 1780 01:38:23.199 --> 01:38:26.520 had a significant snow. Brian Thomas, I'm going to say, 1781 01:38:26.600 --> 01:38:30.039 you know, every ten years, every fifteen years, the weather 1782 01:38:30.159 --> 01:38:33.399 people get it, right. If you're the mayor of the city, 1783 01:38:33.640 --> 01:38:37.880 you've got to anticipate and be prepared for that. Anybody 1784 01:38:38.039 --> 01:38:41.640 listening to my voice and Cincinnati knows that their side 1785 01:38:41.680 --> 01:38:45.920 streets were a disaster for the last five days, meaning 1786 01:38:46.239 --> 01:38:50.159 we had sailed leadership here. Even in the city of Cincinnati. 1787 01:38:50.520 --> 01:38:53.119 It's not the men and women who are out there 1788 01:38:53.239 --> 01:38:57.680 working overtime busting their butts. It's a mayor who's not ready, 1789 01:38:58.239 --> 01:39:01.600 a mayor who wasn't ready for that snow. Here's the 1790 01:39:01.640 --> 01:39:04.800 bottom line. If I were the mayor and I'm watching 1791 01:39:04.840 --> 01:39:07.039 the news and I go, man, we might get a 1792 01:39:07.079 --> 01:39:10.840 foot of snow now for Buffalo, for Detroit, not a 1793 01:39:10.920 --> 01:39:14.159 big deal, but for Cincinnati a big deal. So you 1794 01:39:14.279 --> 01:39:16.560 know what you do. You'll reach out to your corporate 1795 01:39:16.680 --> 01:39:19.560 partners and you stage them and you say, you know 1796 01:39:19.720 --> 01:39:22.760 those trucks that you have idling right now, we'd like 1797 01:39:22.920 --> 01:39:25.520 to hire those men and women so that they can 1798 01:39:25.640 --> 01:39:27.960 help us clear our streets. You don't have to have 1799 01:39:28.199 --> 01:39:31.119 all the equipment there. All you have to do is 1800 01:39:31.199 --> 01:39:34.479 have a vision and be prepared and talk to our 1801 01:39:34.560 --> 01:39:37.119 corporate partners so that when we have a snow like this, 1802 01:39:37.479 --> 01:39:40.119 our high schools and grade schools don't have to be 1803 01:39:40.239 --> 01:39:43.479 closed just because they cannot get on the side streets. 1804 01:39:43.520 --> 01:39:47.279 Brian Thomas, that was incompetence. That just came right out 1805 01:39:47.319 --> 01:39:50.800 of city Hall. But guess what, in November, they'll vote 1806 01:39:50.840 --> 01:39:53.399 for the same people. So if you're voting for the 1807 01:39:53.479 --> 01:39:56.960 same people, don't expect your side streets to ever be cleared, 1808 01:39:57.199 --> 01:39:58.920 because elections have consequences. 1809 01:40:00.279 --> 01:40:02.079 Let's pause right here.

What we're 1846 01:41:59.720 --> 01:42:02.439 going to say to you is god speed in your 1847 01:42:03.119 --> 01:42:06.239 in your next term. And the point of it was 1848 01:42:06.680 --> 01:42:09.760 when he's sworn in for the mainstream media to say 1849 01:42:09.800 --> 01:42:12.640 that he has a felony. You and I and anybody 1850 01:42:12.760 --> 01:42:15.920 watching this case, this is not about being for Trump 1851 01:42:16.119 --> 01:42:19.159 or against Trump. Know that that case was nothing but 1852 01:42:19.359 --> 01:42:22.520 nonsense and at the end of the day, will be appealed, 1853 01:42:22.920 --> 01:42:27.439 will be overturned, and everything that this lawfare of. We 1854 01:42:27.640 --> 01:42:34.840 had a president, meaning the outgoing president Biden, weaponizing, weaponizing 1855 01:42:35.439 --> 01:42:38.920 the court system against his opponent, and it was just 1856 01:42:39.159 --> 01:42:42.680 so so bad. We were operating like a third world 1857 01:42:42.760 --> 01:42:45.520 country and so embarrassing for all of it. Said, I 1858 01:42:45.720 --> 01:42:50.079 agree with President elect Trump when he told the judge 1859 01:42:50.439 --> 01:42:53.239 that this is an embarrassment for New York State. It's 1860 01:42:53.239 --> 01:42:57.640 an embarrassment for prosecutor brags, it's an embarrassment for Judge 1861 01:42:57.720 --> 01:43:00.159 Mansion and at the end of the day, all this 1862 01:43:00.319 --> 01:43:03.600 will be overturned. It was a bunch of nothing at 1863 01:43:03.640 --> 01:43:04.319 the end of the day. 1864 01:43:04.560 --> 01:43:06.880 Yeah, I agree with you, but I think, you know, 1865 01:43:07.039 --> 01:43:09.880 maybe an embarrassment if we, you know, sort of take 1866 01:43:09.960 --> 01:43:13.399 a take an objective look at it in the context 1867 01:43:13.520 --> 01:43:16.039 of the law and the charges that were brought against him. 1868 01:43:16.119 --> 01:43:18.680 And you know, as far as hush money is concerned, 1869 01:43:18.720 --> 01:43:22.279 even calling it that is ridiculous because these confidentiality agreements 1870 01:43:22.319 --> 01:43:27.000 are entered into all the time. But it's not an 1871 01:43:27.039 --> 01:43:30.359 embarrassment for the prosecutor there because he is surrounded by 1872 01:43:30.439 --> 01:43:34.279 people who absolutely hate Donald Trump, and anything someone can 1873 01:43:34.319 --> 01:43:37.560 do to impact Donald Trump for the negative is going 1874 01:43:37.640 --> 01:43:40.479 to be embraced by the echo chamber that they live in. 1875 01:43:40.720 --> 01:43:43.199 So he's got to live in that environment. So rather 1876 01:43:43.279 --> 01:43:46.159 than do the right thing and not pursue spurious charges 1877 01:43:46.199 --> 01:43:49.239 and engage in law fair he has he's surrounded by 1878 01:43:49.279 --> 01:43:51.279 all these people who want him to literally bend over 1879 01:43:51.359 --> 01:43:54.039 backwards to go after Donald Trump even though there's nothing there, 1880 01:43:54.159 --> 01:43:57.199 because well that's just the way they feel. And so 1881 01:43:57.319 --> 01:43:59.079 he's going to go back to his job if the 1882 01:43:59.159 --> 01:44:02.079 dust settles on one and it ultimately does get overturned 1883 01:44:02.079 --> 01:44:04.119 on appeal, which I agree that it will. But he's 1884 01:44:04.119 --> 01:44:07.159 surrounded by these people still and they're still happy that 1885 01:44:07.239 --> 01:44:09.840 he forced Donald Trump to jump through the hoops to 1886 01:44:10.239 --> 01:44:11.680 ultimately get himself acquitted. 1887 01:44:12.800 --> 01:44:15.640 Well with the sad part about it is like California. 1888 01:44:16.119 --> 01:44:19.319 New York is under a crime wave where you had 1889 01:44:19.520 --> 01:44:23.159 a veteran named Penny who said, man, you see something, 1890 01:44:23.279 --> 01:44:26.800 do something. He had had fifteen years of his life, 1891 01:44:26.920 --> 01:44:30.600 possibly meaning facing fifteen years in prison by the same prosecutor. 1892 01:44:30.960 --> 01:44:33.640 And two weeks later, you have a twenty three year 1893 01:44:33.720 --> 01:44:37.159 old nurse on a train who set on fire by 1894 01:44:37.199 --> 01:44:41.000 an immigrant who's here illegally and sands the fire to 1895 01:44:41.159 --> 01:44:44.479 give it more oxygen and burns her to death. And 1896 01:44:44.600 --> 01:44:47.479 I'm saying here, we're watching this hush money case, which 1897 01:44:47.479 --> 01:44:51.359 you're right, it was a journal entry, that's what they 1898 01:44:51.479 --> 01:44:53.560 called it, and I shouldn't give them the power to 1899 01:44:53.680 --> 01:44:56.199 call it what they were trying to brand it ass 1900 01:44:56.399 --> 01:44:58.960 But at the end of the day, there's a crime 1901 01:44:59.039 --> 01:45:03.600 wave in New York and elections have consequences. California is 1902 01:45:03.640 --> 01:45:06.960 dealing with fires. New York is dealing with this crime way, 1903 01:45:07.199 --> 01:45:09.119 and at the end of the day, I feel like 1904 01:45:09.279 --> 01:45:11.600 those voters will continue to put the same people in. 1905 01:45:12.199 --> 01:45:15.319 That's the shame, That's what has to happen. And I 1906 01:45:15.359 --> 01:45:18.039 don't want that to happen in Cincinnati, where I live. 1907 01:45:18.159 --> 01:45:21.319 I want voters to wake up and say, listen, I 1908 01:45:21.520 --> 01:45:24.479 don't want the same thing. I don't want a flood 1909 01:45:24.560 --> 01:45:27.000 to happen. I don't need to have a snowstore. I 1910 01:45:27.079 --> 01:45:30.560 can see that city Council is distracted by what's happening 1911 01:45:30.640 --> 01:45:34.640 in Israel and hamas not something that they should be 1912 01:45:34.840 --> 01:45:38.359 debating on the floor of council. We have a pension 1913 01:45:38.439 --> 01:45:43.720 plan our Cincinnati retirement. Since the plan is still underwater, 1914 01:45:44.079 --> 01:45:46.920 it's no better than it was. The reality of it 1915 01:45:47.079 --> 01:45:50.199 is we have a distracted leadership and it's not until 1916 01:45:50.319 --> 01:45:53.359 the city is filing bankruptcy, or we have a massive 1917 01:45:53.399 --> 01:45:55.840 flood on the Ohio River, or we have a massive 1918 01:45:55.880 --> 01:45:58.840 snow that somebody in these fifty two neighborhoods says they 1919 01:45:58.920 --> 01:46:00.560 want to wake up, and we've got to do better 1920 01:46:00.600 --> 01:46:03.640 than that. Brian Thomas, let me end with this love 1921 01:46:04.079 --> 01:46:08.159 an extension of my late wife and this is to 1922 01:46:08.640 --> 01:46:11.560 all of those widowers and widower's out there, widows and 1923 01:46:11.600 --> 01:46:14.720 widowers like your mom, right, so this is ours, this 1924 01:46:14.920 --> 01:46:17.399 is what we're approaching her death date. And I just 1925 01:46:17.520 --> 01:46:21.319 say to those, look, getting a hold of your new normal, 1926 01:46:21.800 --> 01:46:24.960 right is normal. And so don't let anybody tell you 1927 01:46:25.119 --> 01:46:28.439 how to grieve, don't tell anybody what your timeline is. 1928 01:46:29.359 --> 01:46:32.560 That this is a process. And I know that there 1929 01:46:32.560 --> 01:46:34.840 are people that are listening to us right now who 1930 01:46:34.960 --> 01:46:37.720 don't have the support system that your mom has and 1931 01:46:37.880 --> 01:46:41.239 that I have. They're very much alone and isolated, and 1932 01:46:41.359 --> 01:46:44.279 I just want to let them know they are not alone, 1933 01:46:44.680 --> 01:46:47.079 that there are lots of people out there that care 1934 01:46:47.119 --> 01:46:50.479 about them, that are concerned about them, that will reach 1935 01:46:50.560 --> 01:46:53.640 out and will reach back to them if they need help. 1936 01:46:53.960 --> 01:46:55.680 So I just want to say that as I approach 1937 01:46:55.760 --> 01:46:59.439 this for my family, and I know your mom she's 1938 01:46:59.560 --> 01:47:02.079 going through which she's approaching it, and it's just a 1939 01:47:02.239 --> 01:47:05.079 part of life and that and nights are bad for 1940 01:47:05.199 --> 01:47:07.079 a lot of the people that are new into it. 1941 01:47:07.159 --> 01:47:09.640 I'm not new into it, right. I've gotten a hold 1942 01:47:09.680 --> 01:47:11.439 of my new normal, But there are a lot of 1943 01:47:11.479 --> 01:47:13.800 people out there, Brian Thomas that are still struggling with it. 1944 01:47:14.079 --> 01:47:16.239 You know, it's really interesting you brought that up, and 1945 01:47:16.279 --> 01:47:18.479 I'm so glad you did. I mean, most notably my mom, 1946 01:47:18.479 --> 01:47:20.199 because I just had a conversation with her the other 1947 01:47:20.279 --> 01:47:23.680 day about exactly what you're talking about in the evening, 1948 01:47:23.720 --> 01:47:26.640 and she was thinking about something made her think about 1949 01:47:26.680 --> 01:47:30.920 my late father, and she experienced them obvious, you know, 1950 01:47:31.079 --> 01:47:34.600 depression and sadness and missed him and was reflecting on 1951 01:47:34.760 --> 01:47:36.720 him not being there. And you know, then it's been 1952 01:47:36.760 --> 01:47:39.920 a couple of years and that is a persistent issue 1953 01:47:40.000 --> 01:47:42.800 for those who are grieving. So it's a long process. 1954 01:47:42.960 --> 01:47:45.520 But thank you for reminding everyone that there is support 1955 01:47:45.560 --> 01:47:48.840 out there and that you know they're in our thoughts 1956 01:47:48.880 --> 01:47:51.880 and prayers to the extent that helps, folks. I truly 1957 01:47:52.000 --> 01:47:53.760 mean that, And of course you're always in my prayers 1958 01:47:53.800 --> 01:47:55.920 and thoughts with my brother, and I enjoy having you 1959 01:47:55.960 --> 01:47:57.920 on the program to talk about this and I and 1960 01:47:58.399 --> 01:47:58.800 you are. 1961 01:47:59.039 --> 01:48:02.319 You are my brother, and I think about your daughter 1962 01:48:02.880 --> 01:48:05.119 who is about to be married, and that's going to 1963 01:48:05.159 --> 01:48:06.960 be one of those triggers. It's going to be one 1964 01:48:07.000 --> 01:48:09.560 of those processes because your dad isn't going to be there, 1965 01:48:10.039 --> 01:48:13.399 and acting as if it's normal, meaning meaning you know 1966 01:48:13.560 --> 01:48:16.640 that his chair is empty, your mom knows it. And 1967 01:48:16.760 --> 01:48:19.760 we extend our love and support to your entire family 1968 01:48:19.920 --> 01:48:22.399 as you march through this beautiful event for your daughter, 1969 01:48:22.840 --> 01:48:26.239 beautiful event as you embrace your new son. But it 1970 01:48:26.399 --> 01:48:30.000 still is a process sometimes that can be bittersweet for 1971 01:48:30.119 --> 01:48:31.279 those who've lost someone. 1972 01:48:31.920 --> 01:48:36.039 Love you, brother, words from a new grandfather on that note, God, 1973 01:48:36.119 --> 01:48:39.560 love you, Christopher.

Speaking to my daughter. I've mentioned 1977 01:48:47.800 --> 01:48:49.600 it before, I'll mention it again in the context of 1978 01:48:49.720 --> 01:48:53.399 USA installation. That was our house warming gift to my 1979 01:48:53.560 --> 01:48:58.800 daughter and Eric, and they experienced a outage. Yes, they 1980 01:48:58.960 --> 01:49:01.239 ran out of propane. The heating wasn't work and I 1981 01:49:01.279 --> 01:49:04.359 said to that USA insallation helps. You said, oh my god. Yes, 1982 01:49:05.159 --> 01:49:07.680 they were able to manage through. I guess a week 1983 01:49:07.800 --> 01:49:11.479 without heat before they got the propane refilled. They live 1984 01:49:11.520 --> 01:49:13.840 in a rural area, so that's how they get their heat. 1985 01:49:13.920 --> 01:49:16.960 But they were very appreciative of the USA insulation. We've 1986 01:49:17.000 --> 01:49:20.359 kept there and kept their house really manageably warm enough 1987 01:49:20.439 --> 01:49:23.319 that they could enjoy the living there without having to 1988 01:49:23.399 --> 01:49:26.760 take refuge at our house. But that's what it's all about, 1989 01:49:26.800 --> 01:49:30.279 comfort and energy savings. And it's only ninety nine dollars 1990 01:49:30.319 --> 01:49:33.239 a month interest free. Take advantage of that. Why you can, 1991 01:49:33.359 --> 01:49:36.359 because you might save that much and even more on 1992 01:49:36.479 --> 01:49:38.600 your monthly energy bill because it is the highest our 1993 01:49:38.720 --> 01:49:42.079 value foam in the market. We're talking about under insulated homes, 1994 01:49:42.159 --> 01:49:44.640 Homes like my daughters with R twelve and a late 1995 01:49:44.760 --> 01:49:47.920 seventies bill not enough, and of course it deteriorates over time, 1996 01:49:48.039 --> 01:49:51.079 losing its insulated cability. The foam goes with the old 1997 01:49:51.159 --> 01:49:55.439 insulation really boosting the insulated power. So that's one or 1998 01:49:55.800 --> 01:49:58.399 older homes mid seventies before that has nothing in that 1999 01:49:58.880 --> 01:50:03.039 exterior wall. Cabint fill it with USA's Premium phone. It 2000 01:50:03.079 --> 01:50:05.600 will help extend the life of your HVAC unit as well, 2001 01:50:05.640 --> 01:50:08.199 because it won't be fighting that battle uphill battle it 2002 01:50:08.359 --> 01:50:11.680 is dealing with the outside elements. Ninety nine bucks a 2003 01:50:11.720 --> 01:50:14.560 month interest free, you qualify for an energy tax credit 2004 01:50:14.600 --> 01:50:17.439 if you can think about next year's taxes for this year, Yeah, 2005 01:50:17.520 --> 01:50:19.880 you'll get an energy tax credit. So that's still in place. 2006 01:50:20.319 --> 01:50:22.479 Five one three three eight one three six two six. 2007 01:50:22.600 --> 01:50:26.319 It's a free inspection and free quote five one three 2008 01:50:26.439 --> 01:50:29.840 three eight one foam Final Online USA Installation dot Net. 2009 01:50:30.920 --> 01:50:32.039 Fifty five KRC. 2010 01:50:32.640 --> 01:50:35.720 The Cold Weather is stand in buck Sexton doing their 2011 01:50:35.800 --> 01:50:38.199 homework today at noon because you got to make sense 2012 01:50:38.239 --> 01:50:44.600 of it on fifty five KRC, The Talk station eight 2013 01:50:44.640 --> 01:50:46.920 oh five and Happy Monday, Ka Brian Thomas.

He's a certified financial planners and 2017 01:50:54.960 --> 01:50:57.359 he's here to talk about well one thing, the jobs report. 2018 01:50:57.399 --> 01:51:00.720 Welcome back, Brian James. Happy Monday to you, back at you, 2019 01:51:00.960 --> 01:51:02.439 Good morning to you as well. Hope you had a 2020 01:51:02.439 --> 01:51:06.199 good weekend. I had a great weekend, all right. So 2021 01:51:06.880 --> 01:51:09.880 we have this job's report and it looks good two 2022 01:51:09.960 --> 01:51:14.439 hundred and fifty six thousand gains. However, it's bad cause 2023 01:51:14.600 --> 01:51:18.000 you get good news. The employment rate is down to 2024 01:51:18.079 --> 01:51:20.640 four point one percent, a lot of additional jobs. That 2025 01:51:20.720 --> 01:51:24.039 all sounds like wonderful news, and yet Wall streets reaction 2026 01:51:24.399 --> 01:51:27.359 is the stock market to tank or at least drop precipitously. 2027 01:51:27.680 --> 01:51:31.359 How can you reconcile these Brian, Yeah, it doesn't make 2028 01:51:31.399 --> 01:51:33.279 a lot of sense, does it. We really want jobs. 2029 01:51:33.319 --> 01:51:35.119 We need as many people to have jobs as we 2030 01:51:35.159 --> 01:51:38.479 can possibly get. If everybody's working, that means everybody has 2031 01:51:38.560 --> 01:51:40.680 money to spend, and money makes the world go around. 2032 01:51:40.720 --> 01:51:42.800 It all moves around in a virtuous circle and we 2033 01:51:42.880 --> 01:51:46.319 all do better right well, long term, yes, but short term. 2034 01:51:46.600 --> 01:51:49.079 Remember what we're battling right now. We've been battling interest 2035 01:51:49.159 --> 01:51:53.079 rates for the past several years, through the whole COVID crisis. 2036 01:51:53.520 --> 01:51:58.279 And while we're not at the over nine percent inflation 2037 01:51:58.439 --> 01:52:00.359 situation that we were out a few summer years ago, 2038 01:52:01.000 --> 01:52:02.800 we're not back down to where we want to be either. 2039 01:52:02.920 --> 01:52:05.680 The Fed's goal is normally to keep inflation in the 2040 01:52:05.720 --> 01:52:07.960 two to two and a half percent range, and we're 2041 01:52:08.000 --> 01:52:10.720 hovering just above that, somewhere in the three percent range. 2042 01:52:11.479 --> 01:52:14.000 And what we're making progress, but at the same time 2043 01:52:14.079 --> 01:52:15.760 not where we need to be, and we've been here 2044 01:52:15.800 --> 01:52:18.439 for a while, so the concern is keeping the momentum. 2045 01:52:19.000 --> 01:52:23.039 What that means, though, is that the economy would preferably 2046 01:52:23.039 --> 01:52:24.800 would slow down just for a little bit, so we 2047 01:52:24.840 --> 01:52:26.720 can kind of get caught up on that, and a 2048 01:52:26.880 --> 01:52:29.760 Job's report of two hundred and fifty six thousand new 2049 01:52:29.880 --> 01:52:32.960 jobs created shows that that is not quite happening to 2050 01:52:33.039 --> 01:52:34.159 the Fed's liking just yet. 2051 01:52:34.520 --> 01:52:37.279 So obviously, if you have jobs, you have money, and 2052 01:52:38.000 --> 01:52:42.239 therefore creates demand for goods and services, which I suppose 2053 01:52:42.800 --> 01:52:45.279 to some degree are still in shorter supply given the 2054 01:52:45.840 --> 01:52:48.840 ripple effect we're still experiencing from COVID and supply chain 2055 01:52:48.960 --> 01:52:51.920 issues and things of that nature. That's correct. 2056 01:52:52.000 --> 01:52:55.880 Yeah, so the concern all along and I don't remember 2057 01:52:55.920 --> 01:52:59.880 the last time I heard the term a hard landing. 2058 01:53:00.159 --> 01:53:02.239 We seem to have avoided that knock on wood, but 2059 01:53:02.279 --> 01:53:05.079 nobody says that anymore. Right, We've been expecting this, this 2060 01:53:05.319 --> 01:53:08.600 fall off the cliff moment where the economy absolutely collapses, 2061 01:53:08.680 --> 01:53:10.520 but that is just not happening. As much as the 2062 01:53:10.600 --> 01:53:13.720 talking heads seem to want that to happen, and as 2063 01:53:13.800 --> 01:53:16.159 much a volume of discussion as there is around that 2064 01:53:16.800 --> 01:53:18.920 that has not come to pass, and nobody uses those 2065 01:53:19.000 --> 01:53:21.920 terms anymore. So this is evident that we are not 2066 01:53:22.119 --> 01:53:25.279 seeing the pullback that we expected we would, and that's 2067 01:53:25.359 --> 01:53:27.119 going to be in the short term as we're talking 2068 01:53:27.119 --> 01:53:30.399 about that. That's a challenge from a standpoint of if 2069 01:53:30.439 --> 01:53:32.479 the real goal is to keep inflation down, then the 2070 01:53:32.560 --> 01:53:34.359 economy has got to step on the brakes a little 2071 01:53:34.399 --> 01:53:36.600 bit at some point. But as long as we're out 2072 01:53:36.640 --> 01:53:40.760 there spending money and creating economic activity and creating these 2073 01:53:40.800 --> 01:53:42.520 new jobs, and that's not going to happen, and we'll 2074 01:53:42.560 --> 01:53:45.600 have to continue this fight. So what's looking right now 2075 01:53:45.920 --> 01:53:48.760 is that the Federal Reserve is not likely at this point, 2076 01:53:48.800 --> 01:53:50.720 as we're sitting here right now with the information we have, 2077 01:53:51.239 --> 01:53:53.119 not very likely that the Federal Reserve is going to 2078 01:53:53.159 --> 01:53:56.640 continue cutting rates in twenty twenty five. The prevailing opinion 2079 01:53:56.720 --> 01:53:59.600 is we're probably going to stand flat for the balance 2080 01:53:59.640 --> 01:54:01.880 of the year unless we get new information, which we 2081 01:54:02.000 --> 01:54:03.199 always do well. 2082 01:54:03.319 --> 01:54:05.760 And I think, as everybody knows by now, California as 2083 01:54:05.800 --> 01:54:07.920 a state is one of the largest economies in the 2084 01:54:08.000 --> 01:54:13.680 globe all by itself, will the I mean, I guess 2085 01:54:14.039 --> 01:54:16.640 to rebuild Los Angeles as much damage has been done 2086 01:54:16.640 --> 01:54:18.039 and it's going to take a lot of work, a 2087 01:54:18.039 --> 01:54:20.039 lot of energy, and a lot of materials and supplies 2088 01:54:20.079 --> 01:54:22.880 that do that. Is that going to feed inflation? Do 2089 01:54:22.920 --> 01:54:25.640 you think? What have that substantial and effect given the 2090 01:54:25.920 --> 01:54:29.920 how sizable the damages and how much of the California 2091 01:54:29.920 --> 01:54:32.000 economy comes from the greater Los Angeles area. 2092 01:54:33.079 --> 01:54:36.079 Yeah, absolutely so. So the state of California is one 2093 01:54:36.119 --> 01:54:38.960 of the largest economies on the face of the earth. Obviously, 2094 01:54:39.079 --> 01:54:42.680 it's ranked above even many other countries, most other countries, frankly. 2095 01:54:43.119 --> 01:54:45.079 And so when we have this big of a hit, 2096 01:54:45.199 --> 01:54:47.920 of course it's gonna it's gonna have an impact there. 2097 01:54:48.000 --> 01:54:51.479 There are, of course, supply chain disruptions that can happen. 2098 01:54:52.560 --> 01:54:55.520 Los Angeles is a major port. And while you want 2099 01:54:55.560 --> 01:54:57.880 to want to say the wildfires probably aren't gonnaffect direct 2100 01:54:57.960 --> 01:54:59.880 to all those ships coming in at the end, any 2101 01:55:00.119 --> 01:55:02.319 kind of chaos in an area where goods and services 2102 01:55:02.319 --> 01:55:03.800 are supposed to be moving through is going to have 2103 01:55:03.840 --> 01:55:06.840 an impact. And then, not to mention insurance, this is 2104 01:55:06.880 --> 01:55:08.920 probably the big one to keep an eye on, because 2105 01:55:09.720 --> 01:55:11.840 we all have to the whole purpose of insurance is 2106 01:55:11.880 --> 01:55:14.880 that everybody shares the risks. You pay your premium, you're 2107 01:55:14.960 --> 01:55:17.560 covering not only your own home, but everybody else's home 2108 01:55:18.000 --> 01:55:20.520 and that because that's how insurance works. So this is 2109 01:55:20.600 --> 01:55:23.560 going to have a widespreading effect over time. It's going 2110 01:55:23.600 --> 01:55:26.720 to remain to be seen exactly what the impact will be, 2111 01:55:27.199 --> 01:55:28.800 but there's no denying that it's going to have an 2112 01:55:28.840 --> 01:55:31.119 impact on people who live nowhere near Los Angeles. For 2113 01:55:31.159 --> 01:55:31.720 all these reasons. 2114 01:55:31.880 --> 01:55:34.119 Well, and I think it's a pretty good time for 2115 01:55:34.239 --> 01:55:37.399 people to maybe take stock in their own insurance. It's 2116 01:55:37.479 --> 01:55:40.760 like a cautionary tale. What's happening out there could very 2117 01:55:40.800 --> 01:55:42.840 well happen to you. And one of the interesting things 2118 01:55:42.880 --> 01:55:47.239 that was reported, for example, the Marshall fire, which happened 2119 01:55:47.279 --> 01:55:51.439 in twenty twenty one in Denver and Boulder, Colorado, they 2120 01:55:51.520 --> 01:55:53.640 found out a study was done after that. They found 2121 01:55:53.720 --> 01:55:57.159 thirty six percent of homeowners homeowners who filed insurance claims 2122 01:55:57.680 --> 01:56:01.119 learned that their policies covered less than three quarters of 2123 01:56:01.279 --> 01:56:04.880 their home's replacement cost. So you've got a replacement cost 2124 01:56:05.000 --> 01:56:07.640 policy and you think you're all, well, that's fine. Usually 2125 01:56:07.680 --> 01:56:10.680 the policy will specifically identify what the cap is on 2126 01:56:10.800 --> 01:56:13.560 the replacement cost. And I know I had my home 2127 01:56:13.680 --> 01:56:16.880 evaluated recently because when I saw what the replacement cost 2128 01:56:17.000 --> 01:56:19.079 was valued at on my policy, I'm like, there's no 2129 01:56:19.199 --> 01:56:21.199 way in hell this could replace my house. We've been 2130 01:56:21.239 --> 01:56:23.920 here for twenty five plus years, we have made a 2131 01:56:24.000 --> 01:56:27.199 lot of investments into it on the interior space, and 2132 01:56:27.439 --> 01:56:30.800 nobody knows about this, most notably my insurance company. So 2133 01:56:30.840 --> 01:56:32.319 if it all burned to the ground, how on the 2134 01:56:32.359 --> 01:56:34.520 hell would I prove what the real replacement cost is 2135 01:56:34.560 --> 01:56:37.000 and would it be subject to some kind of cap anyway? 2136 01:56:38.199 --> 01:56:41.279 Right, you've identified a pretty specific risk that affects anybody 2137 01:56:41.319 --> 01:56:44.000 who has a home. You need to understand where you're exposed. 2138 01:56:44.079 --> 01:56:46.560 And so when you use the term replacement cost, what 2139 01:56:46.680 --> 01:56:49.600 you're talking about is the fact that you could find 2140 01:56:49.640 --> 01:56:51.880 a home that is very similar to yours on the 2141 01:56:51.960 --> 01:56:55.000 market right now, and perhaps you could buy that as 2142 01:56:55.039 --> 01:56:58.279 your replacement. But the replacement cost is actually the sum 2143 01:56:58.399 --> 01:57:01.159 total of the two by fours dry wall, the insulation, 2144 01:57:01.279 --> 01:57:03.000 and all the other stuff that make up your house. 2145 01:57:03.279 --> 01:57:07.239 That's a lot more than buying a similar house elsewhere. 2146 01:57:07.359 --> 01:57:10.319 So your insurance, yeah, your insurance needs to cover that 2147 01:57:10.520 --> 01:57:13.720 replacement cost, not just another the value of a similar home. 2148 01:57:14.079 --> 01:57:16.279 Well, and I suppose it's a cautionary tail. And again 2149 01:57:16.560 --> 01:57:19.000 for people to identify all of the things they own 2150 01:57:19.079 --> 01:57:21.520 in their home, maybe can take some sort of video 2151 01:57:21.720 --> 01:57:23.720 of it and keep that in a fire safe or 2152 01:57:23.800 --> 01:57:26.399 in a safe deposit box or something, because in the 2153 01:57:26.479 --> 01:57:29.000 aftermath of a major disaster like this, the likelihood you're 2154 01:57:29.000 --> 01:57:31.319 going to remember everything that was in the house is 2155 01:57:31.520 --> 01:57:33.960 slim to none. And the fact that you're going to 2156 01:57:34.000 --> 01:57:36.239 have to demonstrate to your insurance company the improvements that 2157 01:57:36.279 --> 01:57:37.560 you made that went up and smoke. 2158 01:57:38.439 --> 01:57:40.159 Yes, And remember it's not going to be very right. 2159 01:57:40.199 --> 01:57:42.119 Right now, we're still fighting fires. But what's going to 2160 01:57:42.199 --> 01:57:45.199 come very shortly is the scammers out of the woodwork, oh, 2161 01:57:46.640 --> 01:57:49.479 making claims of things that didn't happen, or offering to 2162 01:57:49.560 --> 01:57:52.159 help people that they actually aren't going to deliver on 2163 01:57:52.239 --> 01:57:53.800 any of those kinds of things. All of that is 2164 01:57:53.840 --> 01:57:55.560 going to drive the cost of insurance up as well. 2165 01:57:56.039 --> 01:57:58.000 True that, and also I can use that as a 2166 01:57:58.039 --> 01:58:00.439 little springboard to remind people of something that I read 2167 01:58:00.479 --> 01:58:02.600 this morning, and it's a terrible thing to happen. But 2168 01:58:03.119 --> 01:58:05.840 since you brought up scammers, they are targeting people who 2169 01:58:05.920 --> 01:58:08.479 want to help out the victims of these wildfires, and 2170 01:58:08.560 --> 01:58:11.960 there are always scammers out there. It's really prudent of 2171 01:58:12.079 --> 01:58:15.239 you to be very, very very cautious about who you're 2172 01:58:15.279 --> 01:58:17.560 writing a check to in terms of providing some aid. 2173 01:58:18.840 --> 01:58:20.560 There are people that get on the phone and call 2174 01:58:20.600 --> 01:58:23.279 and ask you this solicit. It sounds like a legitimate group, 2175 01:58:23.359 --> 01:58:26.880 but they're not. So be if you're choosing a charitable contribution, 2176 01:58:26.960 --> 01:58:28.600 and I'm not going to try to steer anybody away 2177 01:58:28.640 --> 01:58:31.199 from helping their fellow Americans in times of need. But 2178 01:58:31.359 --> 01:58:33.479 just make sure you're not dealing with a scam organization. 2179 01:58:33.640 --> 01:58:36.479 Go with someone like you know, Matthew. Twenty five Ministries 2180 01:58:36.560 --> 01:58:38.199 is one of my favorite to mention because they are 2181 01:58:38.279 --> 01:58:40.600 legitimate and every dollar you give to them is going 2182 01:58:40.680 --> 01:58:42.960 to land in the hands of someone out there who 2183 01:58:43.079 --> 01:58:47.880 needs it. People have forgot about North Carolina too by now, 2184 01:58:47.920 --> 01:58:50.880 Brian James. Yeah, yeah, we do have. 2185 01:58:50.920 --> 01:58:53.319 Short attention spans for our natural disasters anymore. But I 2186 01:58:53.399 --> 01:58:55.199 know you raise a great point in one of those things. 2187 01:58:55.399 --> 01:58:58.760 If you are contacted by somebody who is raising funds 2188 01:58:58.840 --> 01:59:01.680 on behalf of these people who have suffered this misfortune, 2189 01:59:01.920 --> 01:59:03.720 then what the best thing to do really is take 2190 01:59:03.760 --> 01:59:06.279 the information from that organization, then go research it on 2191 01:59:06.359 --> 01:59:09.039 your own. If when you ask for the website or 2192 01:59:09.119 --> 01:59:12.680 some other outside resource, a legitimate organization will be ecstatic 2193 01:59:12.800 --> 01:59:15.199 to give to you over the phone. Somebody who is 2194 01:59:15.279 --> 01:59:16.960 not legit is going to insist that you need to 2195 01:59:17.000 --> 01:59:18.920 give them money right then and there at that moment, 2196 01:59:19.000 --> 01:59:19.640 and not let you. 2197 01:59:19.680 --> 01:59:20.840 Go to that outside resource. 2198 01:59:20.880 --> 01:59:22.479 So be careful who you're listening to. 2199 01:59:22.960 --> 01:59:25.319 Amen to that. We're going to continue with all our 2200 01:59:25.359 --> 01:59:29.680 financials Brian James and find out the details on apparently 2201 01:59:29.760 --> 01:59:31.800 something that's very popular, but is it the right thing 2202 01:59:31.880 --> 01:59:32.079 for you? 2203 01:59:34.560 --> 01:59:34.920 What is this? 2204 01:59:35.119 --> 01:59:39.680 What are these things called TDT date funds? Target date 2205 01:59:39.800 --> 01:59:41.199 fund target date funds. 2206 01:59:42.479 --> 01:59:44.520 These are funds that are supposed to be set and forget. 2207 01:59:44.760 --> 01:59:48.119 Let's learn together, because I'm not familiar with target date funds, 2208 01:59:48.159 --> 01:59:49.640 and I always like to point out there's not a 2209 01:59:49.760 --> 01:59:51.079 day that goes by in the morning show where I 2210 01:59:51.079 --> 01:59:53.039 don't learn something. Today, I'm going to learn something from 2211 01:59:53.079 --> 01:59:56.119 Brian James, which is something that usually happens. Come up 2212 01:59:56.119 --> 01:59:58.359 an eight fifteen fifty five k C the talk station, 2213 01:59:58.439 --> 02:00:01.840 don't go away, We right back fifty five Entrust Brian 2214 02:00:01.920 --> 02:00:04.680 James doing that money Monday thing. Hey, Brian, before we 2215 02:00:05.079 --> 02:00:08.039 get onto target date funds, what are they and whether 2216 02:00:08.119 --> 02:00:11.640 we should be in or not? On interest rates, we 2217 02:00:11.760 --> 02:00:14.359 talked about the idea of this in the current inflation 2218 02:00:14.560 --> 02:00:17.560 rate that the Stellar Jobs Report, which means a lot 2219 02:00:17.600 --> 02:00:21.079 of people are more people are employed, obviously potentially fueling 2220 02:00:21.159 --> 02:00:26.359 the inflationary concerns. You mentioned that the Feds probably no 2221 02:00:26.560 --> 02:00:29.319 longer likely to cut interest rates, but I saw this, 2222 02:00:29.520 --> 02:00:33.159 Matt Rowe, portfolio manager over at Norma Capital Management, this 2223 02:00:33.279 --> 02:00:36.600 article you pointed you forwarded along saying that they may 2224 02:00:36.680 --> 02:00:37.760 even raise rates. 2225 02:00:37.840 --> 02:00:41.439 Now, yeah, that's highly possible because again, remember it's all 2226 02:00:41.439 --> 02:00:44.720 about inflation. We want to get inflation under control. And 2227 02:00:45.039 --> 02:00:47.399 for the last couple of years we've been on a 2228 02:00:47.520 --> 02:00:50.640 pace of having stopped it and then driven it down 2229 02:00:50.720 --> 02:00:52.840 all the way down from that nine percent range. But 2230 02:00:53.000 --> 02:00:55.439 now that we've kind of plateaued, there's a chance that 2231 02:00:55.520 --> 02:00:57.279 it could turn around and go the other way. So yeah, 2232 02:00:57.359 --> 02:01:00.520 I mean, I think that's a fairly obvious conclusion for 2233 02:01:00.640 --> 02:01:03.279 this gentleman to come to, just to say that if 2234 02:01:03.319 --> 02:01:05.319 things start to if we see start see prices go 2235 02:01:05.520 --> 02:01:08.439 up again, then we may be raising rates. Now, what 2236 02:01:08.520 --> 02:01:10.680 we haven't talked about yet this morning, Brian, is the 2237 02:01:11.239 --> 02:01:14.359 incoming administration and what their thoughts are. It's one thing 2238 02:01:14.520 --> 02:01:17.920 to want to increase the position of the United States 2239 02:01:18.000 --> 02:01:20.960 with regard to its trading partners with tariffs, but we 2240 02:01:21.039 --> 02:01:23.039 can't pretend that that's going to happen in a vacuum. 2241 02:01:23.319 --> 02:01:27.399 Tariffs are the purposeful raising of prices on somebody. The 2242 02:01:27.520 --> 02:01:29.680 goal is, or at least on paper, we would want 2243 02:01:29.720 --> 02:01:32.920 to raise prices on people who want to export their goods, 2244 02:01:32.960 --> 02:01:35.479 on countries who want to export their goods to our country. 2245 02:01:35.840 --> 02:01:37.840 But what that is always going to lead to is 2246 02:01:37.920 --> 02:01:40.840 increase prices because they're simply going to recover those from 2247 02:01:40.880 --> 02:01:43.680 the consumers. If you are a producer, you have that control. 2248 02:01:44.000 --> 02:01:46.520 If you are a consumer, then you eat it. So 2249 02:01:47.239 --> 02:01:49.279 I think there's a there's a bigger and bigger drum 2250 02:01:49.359 --> 02:01:51.600 beat for the fact that interest rates are not only 2251 02:01:51.720 --> 02:01:54.880 going to at best stay flat, like you just said, 2252 02:01:54.920 --> 02:01:57.399 it could also increase. Remains to be seen. 2253 02:01:57.279 --> 02:01:59.880 Well in some people view that as a political measure, 2254 02:02:00.079 --> 02:02:02.800 and I know it was observed in these comments from 2255 02:02:02.840 --> 02:02:06.720 Matt Rowe that well, the political will of the Trump 2256 02:02:06.760 --> 02:02:09.439 administration will certainly be to keep rates down and be 2257 02:02:09.680 --> 02:02:12.319 upset if they get raised. But that reminds me of 2258 02:02:12.600 --> 02:02:14.800 of the argument that I believe was Jimmy Carter had 2259 02:02:14.840 --> 02:02:17.000 with wasn't it Alan green Span at the time. He 2260 02:02:17.319 --> 02:02:19.399 begged and begged and begged and pleaded to lower the 2261 02:02:19.479 --> 02:02:22.520 interest rates because they were so onerous, but with the 2262 02:02:22.760 --> 02:02:24.960 stagflation that was going on, it was like, no, we 2263 02:02:25.119 --> 02:02:27.119 have to do this in order to bring to write 2264 02:02:27.159 --> 02:02:31.279 the condition. So Jerome Powell may raise rates, but it 2265 02:02:31.600 --> 02:02:34.359 probably won't be a politically motivated I guess is the 2266 02:02:34.399 --> 02:02:35.399 conclusion we must draw. 2267 02:02:36.319 --> 02:02:39.079 Right, So, Jerome Powell, as the Fed Chair is not 2268 02:02:39.359 --> 02:02:43.000 subject completely to the whims of the president. He's not 2269 02:02:43.079 --> 02:02:45.560 a cabinet member. So if the President wants to get 2270 02:02:45.680 --> 02:02:47.760 rid of the Federal Reserve Chair, he has to prove 2271 02:02:47.880 --> 02:02:51.520 legal cause. There has to actually be something other than 2272 02:02:51.560 --> 02:02:54.319 I don't like you. So he doesn't have to be 2273 02:02:54.439 --> 02:02:57.039 as Jerome does not have to be as politically sensitive 2274 02:02:57.079 --> 02:02:59.439 as many other cabinet members do as a decision maker. 2275 02:03:00.159 --> 02:03:02.840 Let's move over and together learn maybe you will for 2276 02:03:02.880 --> 02:03:05.359 the first time. I know I am. Target date funds. 2277 02:03:05.479 --> 02:03:07.920 What's the story on these? They apparently are quite popular 2278 02:03:08.000 --> 02:03:08.880 for four to one k's. 2279 02:03:09.800 --> 02:03:13.800 Yeah, target date funds the Kellogg's Variety pack of investments. 2280 02:03:13.880 --> 02:03:16.760 So the purpose of a target date fund is one 2281 02:03:16.880 --> 02:03:19.359 fund that owns a bunch of other things, and the 2282 02:03:19.479 --> 02:03:22.359 intent is kind of a one stop shop for a 2283 02:03:22.439 --> 02:03:27.199 properly allocated portfolio according to what your retirement date might be. 2284 02:03:27.720 --> 02:03:30.520 So these frequently appear more and more. They're appearing in 2285 02:03:30.720 --> 02:03:32.960 four oh one k's and it's believed that they're going 2286 02:03:33.039 --> 02:03:34.760 to capture about two thirds of all four to oh 2287 02:03:34.800 --> 02:03:37.199 one K contributions by twenty twenty seven. 2288 02:03:37.720 --> 02:03:38.840 And so they're already in there. 2289 02:03:38.880 --> 02:03:40.800 You probably have them in your four oh one K 2290 02:03:41.000 --> 02:03:43.399 or four or three B or whatever your employer offers 2291 02:03:43.439 --> 02:03:46.920 as your retirement plan. And the goal here again is 2292 02:03:47.000 --> 02:03:49.840 to most of them have a number in the in 2293 02:03:49.960 --> 02:03:52.119 the name of the fund, So twenty forty five, twenty 2294 02:03:52.199 --> 02:03:54.920 thirty five, twenty fifty, whatever that may be. What that 2295 02:03:55.079 --> 02:03:58.119 number is intended to be is approximately the year you 2296 02:03:58.239 --> 02:04:01.039 might retire. So the intent is that it will build 2297 02:04:01.079 --> 02:04:04.039 a portfolio with one, one single option. You don't have 2298 02:04:04.079 --> 02:04:06.520 to choose anything. It's just going to build a portfolio 2299 02:04:06.600 --> 02:04:09.079 that is targeted toward that date, and then as time 2300 02:04:09.199 --> 02:04:13.239 goes by, the portfolio itself will become more conservative. So, 2301 02:04:13.399 --> 02:04:15.760 for example, a twenty fifty fund is probably you know, 2302 02:04:15.840 --> 02:04:18.039 that's somebody who's gonna be working for another twenty five years. 2303 02:04:18.079 --> 02:04:20.640 That's a long term timeframe. That's going to be mostly 2304 02:04:20.800 --> 02:04:24.159 stocks ten years from now or fifteen years from now. 2305 02:04:24.279 --> 02:04:26.359 In twenty forty, it's probably going to be about a 2306 02:04:26.439 --> 02:04:30.000 seventy percent stock thirty percent bond type of a portfolio. 2307 02:04:30.279 --> 02:04:32.239 That's generally how they work. It's a set it and 2308 02:04:32.319 --> 02:04:33.159 forget it approach. 2309 02:04:34.039 --> 02:04:35.720 So these are good tools. 2310 02:04:35.800 --> 02:04:38.680 I'm not somebody who believes that that all target date 2311 02:04:38.680 --> 02:04:40.680 funds are bad. That's what if you read the headlines, 2312 02:04:40.720 --> 02:04:42.880 that's kind of what can come across. But it's not 2313 02:04:43.119 --> 02:04:45.800 something that you can completely just solely rely on. You 2314 02:04:45.920 --> 02:04:47.920 have to pay attention to the same things you would 2315 02:04:48.000 --> 02:04:51.159 any other investment. First and foremost, what's under the hood. 2316 02:04:51.640 --> 02:04:53.960 Just because it has a number in the in the 2317 02:04:54.079 --> 02:04:56.319 name of the fund doesn't mean that it's a portfolio 2318 02:04:56.399 --> 02:04:57.359 you necessarily that. 2319 02:04:57.439 --> 02:04:58.039 Applies to you. 2320 02:04:58.760 --> 02:05:01.560 So a a fund with a twenty year time frame 2321 02:05:01.680 --> 02:05:04.119 can be anywhere from eighty percent stocks to one hundred 2322 02:05:04.119 --> 02:05:07.000 percent stocks. It's just the opinion of the fund firm underneath, 2323 02:05:07.039 --> 02:05:08.439 So you still got to look under the hood to 2324 02:05:08.439 --> 02:05:09.319 see what it's invested in. 2325 02:05:09.560 --> 02:05:12.439 But they are actively managed in the sense that you're 2326 02:05:12.520 --> 02:05:15.960 just not They're not just compiled of one set group 2327 02:05:16.159 --> 02:05:18.640 for all time of stocks, because I mean the point 2328 02:05:18.640 --> 02:05:20.199 that you made that there's some gets moved over to 2329 02:05:20.239 --> 02:05:23.359 bonds over time suggests that there is some active management. 2330 02:05:23.560 --> 02:05:27.159 Are they constantly shifting and changing what these specific stocks 2331 02:05:27.199 --> 02:05:30.319 are that are invested in this this type of target 2332 02:05:30.359 --> 02:05:31.079 fund and date fund? 2333 02:05:31.840 --> 02:05:34.439 Great question. So the answer is somewhere in the middle. 2334 02:05:34.560 --> 02:05:39.520 So they're essentially active management of passive indexes. So in 2335 02:05:39.640 --> 02:05:41.560 other words, the S and P five hundred, which we 2336 02:05:41.600 --> 02:05:45.079 all know is the basically the five hundred largest United 2337 02:05:45.119 --> 02:05:48.319 States based publicly traded companies, that's going to make up 2338 02:05:48.359 --> 02:05:50.800 a good core of all these funds. So they're not 2339 02:05:50.960 --> 02:05:53.520 really target date funds are not deciding they're going to 2340 02:05:53.560 --> 02:05:55.840 sell PNG and buy more Apple or anything like that. 2341 02:05:56.159 --> 02:05:59.439 They're simply following the index. But there will be ten, fifteen, 2342 02:05:59.600 --> 02:06:04.399 twenty different indices inside this fund. So the active management occurs. 2343 02:06:04.439 --> 02:06:06.640 And how much are we going to expose to stocks 2344 02:06:07.000 --> 02:06:09.079 big stocks, little stock, small stocks, and how much are 2345 02:06:09.119 --> 02:06:11.359 we going to expose to bonds. It's not at the 2346 02:06:11.479 --> 02:06:14.520 individual security level of the individual bond or the stock. 2347 02:06:14.800 --> 02:06:18.399 It's really at the index level to control the risk 2348 02:06:18.439 --> 02:06:19.760 and the volatility of the portfolio. 2349 02:06:20.640 --> 02:06:23.720 Well, and I would argue because my financial planners have 2350 02:06:23.800 --> 02:06:27.239 been over my selections. We have a variety of different 2351 02:06:28.000 --> 02:06:30.239 funds we can invest in here through my four oh 2352 02:06:30.239 --> 02:06:33.560 one K at iHeart, my financial planner has looked at 2353 02:06:33.600 --> 02:06:36.760 what I am invested in and occasionally will make recommendations 2354 02:06:36.800 --> 02:06:39.239 about you should change the percentage allocation, because you know, 2355 02:06:39.319 --> 02:06:42.199 there's international investments, there's currency investments, there's all kinds of 2356 02:06:42.199 --> 02:06:44.920 different options for you. But since this is out of 2357 02:06:44.960 --> 02:06:47.199 my element and I wouldn't profess for a minute to 2358 02:06:47.239 --> 02:06:49.600 know anything about investing, I let you know, my financial 2359 02:06:49.640 --> 02:06:53.119 planner make the recommendations for me. I suppose anybody who 2360 02:06:53.199 --> 02:06:55.520 has a four oh one K plan should still probably 2361 02:06:55.600 --> 02:06:57.239 have a financial planner to help them make sure that 2362 02:06:57.279 --> 02:06:58.960 they're selecting the right funds. 2363 02:06:59.800 --> 02:07:02.720 Yes, absolutely, because you need somebody in arms length away 2364 02:07:02.760 --> 02:07:04.960 who is going to frankly protect you from yourself. 2365 02:07:05.119 --> 02:07:05.600 Yeah. Yeah. 2366 02:07:06.039 --> 02:07:08.199 Unless you do this all day, every day, you'll be 2367 02:07:08.279 --> 02:07:10.680 tempted to react to whatever has happened over the last 2368 02:07:10.720 --> 02:07:12.960 couple of weeks and months. And that's never the way 2369 02:07:13.039 --> 02:07:16.399 to manage a portfolio, because we need to be targeting 2370 02:07:16.479 --> 02:07:19.359 the different piles of money we have for specific goals, 2371 02:07:19.640 --> 02:07:21.560 whether that's a goal thirty years from now means you 2372 02:07:21.600 --> 02:07:23.560 can be aggressive, or if it's a goal in the 2373 02:07:23.640 --> 02:07:25.079 next year, going to buy a house or you got 2374 02:07:25.119 --> 02:07:27.239 a kid going to college or something like that, each 2375 02:07:27.319 --> 02:07:29.399 of those goals is going to have a unique solution 2376 02:07:29.520 --> 02:07:31.520 that's going to be best for that situation, and a 2377 02:07:31.560 --> 02:07:35.279 financial planner can help you prioritize which ones are non negotiable, 2378 02:07:35.319 --> 02:07:37.479 which ones can you fudge on if you can't afford 2379 02:07:37.520 --> 02:07:39.319 to do them all at once, how do you organize 2380 02:07:39.319 --> 02:07:39.560 it all? 2381 02:07:39.800 --> 02:07:41.560 Pheebase is the way to go because that means of 2382 02:07:41.640 --> 02:07:44.720 a fiduciary obligation to you, and that's really important as well. 2383 02:07:44.760 --> 02:07:46.600 Brian James, always a pleasure having you on for the 2384 02:07:46.640 --> 02:07:49.079 Monday segment.

Author of Burn Back Better Lahina, A 2417 02:09:25.960 --> 02:09:28.159 Perfect Storm or Perfect Crime in the follow up books, 2418 02:09:28.159 --> 02:09:31.039 she was on recently to talk about Sound the Alarm, 2419 02:09:31.119 --> 02:09:36.199 the Malley disaster that sparked a global awakening. Stephanie Perucci, 2420 02:09:36.399 --> 02:09:38.359 welcome back to the fifty five KRS Morning Show. 2421 02:09:39.960 --> 02:09:42.359 Thank you so much for having me back. And have 2422 02:09:42.520 --> 02:09:44.920 you fortunate circumstances. 2423 02:09:44.520 --> 02:09:46.880 Well clearly, And you know what I had you in mind. 2424 02:09:46.960 --> 02:09:49.199 Right after these fires started. I said, it's just going 2425 02:09:49.279 --> 02:09:52.520 to be a moment's time when people like Stephanie Perucci 2426 02:09:52.600 --> 02:09:54.600 and others are going to be saying these these these 2427 02:09:54.680 --> 02:09:58.000 these the Lahina fire and these fires that are raging 2428 02:09:58.039 --> 02:10:02.279 in Los Angeles striking similarities. It's almost as if a 2429 02:10:02.399 --> 02:10:05.239 willful negligence. I kind of look at and think about 2430 02:10:05.239 --> 02:10:07.439 the Secret Service and all the failures of the Secret 2431 02:10:07.479 --> 02:10:09.560 Service which allowed of guy to squeeze off around and 2432 02:10:09.640 --> 02:10:12.720 almost killed Donald Trump, and you find out about how 2433 02:10:12.800 --> 02:10:14.840 wax they were across the board. It's almost as if 2434 02:10:14.880 --> 02:10:17.800 they wanted it to happen. Well, you can't deny that 2435 02:10:17.960 --> 02:10:24.159 this gross incompetence out in Los Angeles obviously exacerbated beyond 2436 02:10:24.159 --> 02:10:28.840 anybody's wildest imagination, the extended damage that was caused. The policies. 2437 02:10:28.920 --> 02:10:32.199 They mean, they knew that the that the reservoir was empty, 2438 02:10:32.239 --> 02:10:34.359 they knew there was no water pressure. They had cut 2439 02:10:34.439 --> 02:10:36.800 fire budgets, I mean knew some cut the fire budgets 2440 02:10:36.800 --> 02:10:40.560 by one hundred million dollars months before the California fire started. 2441 02:10:40.880 --> 02:10:45.800 The La Mayor was in Africa or something. Everyone seems 2442 02:10:45.840 --> 02:10:48.479 to be asleep at the wheel and lo and behold 2443 02:10:48.600 --> 02:10:51.920 after warning after warning after warning, after having all kinds 2444 02:10:51.960 --> 02:10:56.119 of fire projects in the books that they knew they 2445 02:10:56.239 --> 02:10:58.399 had to do. As it turns out, there's so much 2446 02:10:58.520 --> 02:11:01.439 environmentalleet litigation. Every time they tried to do one of 2447 02:11:01.479 --> 02:11:06.079 these fire protection or prevention programs, well litigation ensusan they're 2448 02:11:06.159 --> 02:11:09.880 held up. It's as if they can get nothing accomplished. 2449 02:11:10.279 --> 02:11:14.039 To what end do you find a nefarious purpose behind 2450 02:11:14.159 --> 02:11:17.000 all of this? WILF was seemingly wilful negligence. 2451 02:11:18.640 --> 02:11:21.680 Yeah, it's unbelievable. I mean, the waterways were restricted to 2452 02:11:21.840 --> 02:11:26.199 protect smelt. As you said, they're laying off firefighters, they're 2453 02:11:26.239 --> 02:11:31.600 cutting the budget, and the people were voting on more 2454 02:11:32.000 --> 02:11:38.039 fire mitigation activities, they were voting for more accessible water. 2455 02:11:38.800 --> 02:11:45.720 And LA and Southern California failed their voters because they 2456 02:11:45.840 --> 02:11:48.239 kept taking the can on these things that could have 2457 02:11:48.359 --> 02:11:51.039 helped prevent the fires. And we saw the same thing 2458 02:11:51.239 --> 02:11:56.600 happen in Hawaii where there was something simple such as 2459 02:11:57.199 --> 02:12:01.800 unmitigated brush along the high ways and up on the hills, 2460 02:12:02.239 --> 02:12:07.720 which then the wind carried down that eventually incinerated Lahina. 2461 02:12:08.039 --> 02:12:13.239 Simple things like this absolutely have to be paid attention to, 2462 02:12:13.840 --> 02:12:17.279 and when they're not, it's it's disasterused well. 2463 02:12:17.399 --> 02:12:20.600 And I know that the conclusions you reached and sound 2464 02:12:20.640 --> 02:12:23.239 the alarm along with your co offers. I mean you 2465 02:12:23.319 --> 02:12:26.520 referred to it as a crime, uh, and that the 2466 02:12:26.720 --> 02:12:30.600 the there were there were reasons why Leahina burned. Did 2467 02:12:30.640 --> 02:12:33.960 they allow this brush to accumulate and did you conclude 2468 02:12:34.039 --> 02:12:36.800 or has it ever been concluded how that particular fire started, 2469 02:12:36.880 --> 02:12:40.560 because it serves as a convenient springboard even if it 2470 02:12:40.640 --> 02:12:44.560 was a truly a national a natural disaster, and even 2471 02:12:44.600 --> 02:12:46.880 if the failures of government and Lord knows, we're all 2472 02:12:46.960 --> 02:12:48.760 used to being failed by our government led to the 2473 02:12:48.840 --> 02:12:52.199 brush being laid around they have have they used that 2474 02:12:52.279 --> 02:12:55.079 as an opportunity to bring about a change they couldn't 2475 02:12:55.119 --> 02:12:59.680 accomplish otherwise absent this complete devastation and might that happen 2476 02:12:59.720 --> 02:13:02.399 in law Los Angeles? In other words, these you know, 2477 02:13:02.680 --> 02:13:07.439 drivable communities or walking communities, This whole global warming push 2478 02:13:07.520 --> 02:13:10.600 for us to all live in tiny houses and commute 2479 02:13:10.640 --> 02:13:13.359 by you know, electric bike or ev or something. 2480 02:13:14.760 --> 02:13:18.039 Yeah, what you'll see right now in Mahina is people are. 2481 02:13:19.600 --> 02:13:20.600 Not building back. 2482 02:13:20.720 --> 02:13:24.439 There's you know, a couple homes going up. They've put 2483 02:13:24.520 --> 02:13:28.640 so many restrictions in Mahina with regards to the utilities 2484 02:13:28.760 --> 02:13:32.520 underground and easements and different things like that, that it's 2485 02:13:32.560 --> 02:13:35.319 going to be virtually impossible for anyone to build back 2486 02:13:35.600 --> 02:13:39.800 even fifty percent of the home space that they had. 2487 02:13:40.239 --> 02:13:43.119 And these these were not largely sprawling homes. Some of 2488 02:13:43.199 --> 02:13:46.439 these eighty six percent of what burned in Mahina was 2489 02:13:46.520 --> 02:13:49.880 working class. But what they did build was what you 2490 02:13:50.000 --> 02:13:54.159 might call one of these I don't know, prison camp, 2491 02:13:54.279 --> 02:13:57.039 smart city type things, way upon a hill, not on 2492 02:13:57.159 --> 02:14:04.000 the beach. And I have been exploring these tiny homes, 2493 02:14:04.199 --> 02:14:10.319 and I mean it's essentially a prison cells with so 2494 02:14:10.600 --> 02:14:16.600 much surveillance, you cannot do anything without being viewed by 2495 02:14:16.760 --> 02:14:21.920 some camera that's in some corner. And what I anticipate 2496 02:14:22.159 --> 02:14:26.720 is that something similar is going to happen in California, where, 2497 02:14:27.119 --> 02:14:30.760 of course there was already plans for smart cities. They 2498 02:14:30.840 --> 02:14:36.319 had a really comprehensive Smart LA twenty twenty eight plan, 2499 02:14:36.640 --> 02:14:40.119 ironically the same year that they are going to host 2500 02:14:40.359 --> 02:14:44.800 the Olympics. In terms of did I ever come up 2501 02:14:44.920 --> 02:14:49.960 with some sort of culprit, yeah, I think that there 2502 02:14:50.039 --> 02:14:52.840 was weather engineering. We know there was weather engineering in 2503 02:14:52.920 --> 02:14:57.319 southern California because we have people who documented they had 2504 02:14:57.399 --> 02:15:03.439 not seen a sunny day without cloud seating and stratospheric 2505 02:15:03.520 --> 02:15:07.680 aerosol injection is the term that Dane Weggington prefers to use, 2506 02:15:08.439 --> 02:15:14.119 probably since December November, so there was definitely some manipulation 2507 02:15:14.279 --> 02:15:17.800 of the weather. We think similar to Lehina, we know 2508 02:15:17.920 --> 02:15:21.520 there was arson. We believe there were at least three 2509 02:15:21.760 --> 02:15:25.239 arson points in Mahina as well, and we know people 2510 02:15:25.319 --> 02:15:28.920 have been arrested in California for arson. And then finally 2511 02:15:29.000 --> 02:15:32.079 it's hard not to wonder if there was some sort 2512 02:15:32.640 --> 02:15:37.319 of energy weapon. It's all speculation. But when you see 2513 02:15:37.399 --> 02:15:42.159 things burning inside out, things burning at extremely high temperatures, 2514 02:15:42.520 --> 02:15:46.680 you have to wonder, well, we've got myriad of patents 2515 02:15:47.159 --> 02:15:50.880 for these energy weapons. Are we using them so that 2516 02:15:50.960 --> 02:15:53.600 we can go in there and buy up this property cheap? 2517 02:15:54.279 --> 02:15:54.439 Yeah? 2518 02:15:54.560 --> 02:15:56.920 Well, I am jaded and cynical when it comes to 2519 02:15:56.960 --> 02:15:59.439 the idea that we can actually manipulate the weather. Just 2520 02:15:59.760 --> 02:16:02.760 I've never really caught into that sort of conclusion. But 2521 02:16:03.439 --> 02:16:06.159 be that as it may, we do have clear failures 2522 02:16:06.199 --> 02:16:08.880 here across the border around Los Angeles. And the other 2523 02:16:08.920 --> 02:16:11.640 thing is I wanted you to address Gavin and Newsom 2524 02:16:11.720 --> 02:16:14.159 has signed an executive order the other day. When a pause, 2525 02:16:14.239 --> 02:16:17.079 we'll bring you back Stephanie Perucci again, author of Sound 2526 02:16:17.119 --> 02:16:21.600 the Alarm as well as Burn Back Better. A couple 2527 02:16:21.680 --> 02:16:24.079 more questions on that to see if maybe there's something 2528 02:16:24.119 --> 02:16:26.479 different going on in LA than Leahina. Pause. It's eight 2529 02:16:26.520 --> 02:16:28.520 thirty seven right now. We'll bring it back. Fifty five 2530 02:16:28.600 --> 02:16:29.760 KRC the talk station. 2531 02:16:30.159 --> 02:16:33.399 This is fifty five KARC, an iHeartRadio station. 2532 02:16:34.200 --> 02:16:39.520 Not thinking about rich My author friend, Stephanie per Richie 2533 02:16:39.760 --> 02:16:43.120 can get her books online, Burned Back Better, and which 2534 02:16:43.239 --> 02:16:48.600 is Leahina the perfect storm or perfect Christ a perfect crime, 2535 02:16:48.639 --> 02:16:50.559 and then followed up by sound the alarm, the malle 2536 02:16:50.639 --> 02:16:54.799 disaster that'sparked a global awakening concerns that you know, maybe 2537 02:16:54.840 --> 02:16:56.840 this is all in part of some intentional effort to 2538 02:16:56.920 --> 02:17:00.959 take away private property and create these new live communities, 2539 02:17:01.000 --> 02:17:03.600 all in the name of global warming. And Stepanie I 2540 02:17:03.719 --> 02:17:05.440 just wanted to point out it was a point. It 2541 02:17:05.600 --> 02:17:09.559 was noted by an op ed piece by Representative Tom McClintock, 2542 02:17:09.600 --> 02:17:14.520 who's elected official in California that according to a UCLA study, 2543 02:17:14.680 --> 02:17:17.799 so not exactly a bastion of conservative thought there, but 2544 02:17:17.920 --> 02:17:21.879 at UCLA study estimated that California is twenty twenty fires, 2545 02:17:22.079 --> 02:17:23.760 and they've had quite a few big fires over the 2546 02:17:23.799 --> 02:17:26.000 past four or five years. But the twenty twenty fires 2547 02:17:26.079 --> 02:17:29.799 alone released twice as much greenhouse gas into the atmosphere 2548 02:17:29.840 --> 02:17:33.319 has been prevented by the prior eighteen years of primarily 2549 02:17:33.440 --> 02:17:37.440 government and forced restrictions. So we're all spinning our wheels 2550 02:17:37.479 --> 02:17:40.399 here as China belches out more carbon than we capture 2551 02:17:40.559 --> 02:17:43.040 every single day. Well, the fires in negate all of 2552 02:17:43.079 --> 02:17:45.399 our efforts on top of it. So the idea of 2553 02:17:45.479 --> 02:17:47.959 building these communities in the name of saving the planet 2554 02:17:48.120 --> 02:17:52.239 is a nonsensus, nonsensical suggestion as well. Be that as 2555 02:17:52.319 --> 02:17:55.920 it may. One of the things Gavin Newsom did do, 2556 02:17:56.159 --> 02:17:57.879 and I think it was an appropriate thing to do. 2557 02:17:58.120 --> 02:18:01.799 He signed an executive order suspending regulations that currently make 2558 02:18:01.879 --> 02:18:05.520 California the most difficult place to build anything, notably the 2559 02:18:05.600 --> 02:18:11.120 California Environmental Quality Act, which throws massive hurdles regarding any 2560 02:18:11.239 --> 02:18:13.360 kind of building from the smallest to the largest. You 2561 02:18:13.440 --> 02:18:16.559 have to do environmental studies on the project's potential impact 2562 02:18:16.600 --> 02:18:19.799 from everything from local wildlife to noise, views, and traffic. 2563 02:18:20.479 --> 02:18:22.760 So he suspended that, and he also suspended the other 2564 02:18:22.920 --> 02:18:27.479 onerous act, the California State Coastal Act. So rolling back 2565 02:18:27.680 --> 02:18:31.360 environmental regulations that would subject rebuilding to layers of time 2566 02:18:31.440 --> 02:18:35.879 consuming bureaucracy was his stated goal in mixing these regulations 2567 02:18:35.920 --> 02:18:40.239 to rebuild Los Angeles. So that's a positive sign, isn't it. 2568 02:18:40.479 --> 02:18:43.159 Or perhaps it just sounds good on the surface that 2569 02:18:43.239 --> 02:18:46.479 they'll still have onerous rebuilding rules that'll go along with 2570 02:18:46.600 --> 02:18:47.559 anything that's rebuilt. 2571 02:18:49.639 --> 02:18:53.959 Yeah, I mean, there was not only the smart LA 2572 02:18:54.120 --> 02:18:59.440 twenty twenty eight, but that LA twenty eight Division all included. 2573 02:18:59.479 --> 02:19:04.959 It was hacks with this sustainable development type language. And 2574 02:19:06.479 --> 02:19:11.040 part of the reason that there was this plan to build, 2575 02:19:11.520 --> 02:19:15.200 of course, mind you, in areas where they're where they 2576 02:19:15.239 --> 02:19:21.120 were already cramming people into extremely extensive housing. There there 2577 02:19:21.280 --> 02:19:24.159 was this issue of well, we need to have places 2578 02:19:24.280 --> 02:19:30.760 for athletes, we need to maximize our existing sports infrastructure sustainably, 2579 02:19:32.680 --> 02:19:39.399 we need to you know, to deliver these uh you know, 2580 02:19:39.680 --> 02:19:45.040 carbon neutral, low carbon footprint type facilities. And one of 2581 02:19:45.319 --> 02:19:50.239 the maps for the twenty twenty eight Olympics includes the 2582 02:19:50.399 --> 02:19:51.520 Palisades the Pacific. 2583 02:19:53.360 --> 02:19:56.079 Yeah, from this, I've never you know, I never witnessed 2584 02:19:56.159 --> 02:19:58.559 or viewed or even took any interest in knowing where 2585 02:19:58.639 --> 02:20:01.399 Pacific Policades was or how the living conditions were. But 2586 02:20:01.840 --> 02:20:04.479 judging from the before and after pictures I've seen, I 2587 02:20:04.520 --> 02:20:06.280 don't think there was any place left to build in 2588 02:20:06.360 --> 02:20:09.799 that area. So how would you deal with multi million 2589 02:20:09.879 --> 02:20:12.440 dollar homes as small as they may be. I think 2590 02:20:12.479 --> 02:20:14.479 the average is three and a half million in that area. 2591 02:20:14.959 --> 02:20:18.280 How could you change the environment and make it one 2592 02:20:18.319 --> 02:20:20.719 of these living communities when all the land has already 2593 02:20:20.719 --> 02:20:22.479 been built on question mark. 2594 02:20:22.719 --> 02:20:26.200 Yeah, that's a huge problem. I mean, I live in Aspen, Colorado. 2595 02:20:26.280 --> 02:20:29.360 We're surrounded by mountains on every side. There is nowhere 2596 02:20:29.360 --> 02:20:33.680 else to build, so at the property prices keep going up. Inact, 2597 02:20:34.559 --> 02:20:37.920 a little town of Carbondale, Colorado, which was like Leahina, 2598 02:20:38.159 --> 02:20:41.319 very working class, sort of middle of the Espen Valley, 2599 02:20:41.719 --> 02:20:46.040 has had the largest property price increases in the last 2600 02:20:46.079 --> 02:20:49.440 ten years in the entire country. So I know that 2601 02:20:49.920 --> 02:20:55.680 a place like Palisade, which is also restricted by certain 2602 02:20:56.000 --> 02:21:00.200 land and water limitations, there's no When there's no where 2603 02:21:00.200 --> 02:21:02.360 else to build, there's nowhere else to build, you're going 2604 02:21:02.440 --> 02:21:06.719 to have to eliminate something and build up, you know, high, 2605 02:21:06.879 --> 02:21:11.600 like a skyscraper or something like that. And so these 2606 02:21:11.639 --> 02:21:15.040 are all some of the things we saw with Leahina 2607 02:21:15.120 --> 02:21:18.639 as well. They were packing all these different people in 2608 02:21:18.879 --> 02:21:25.159 tourism and gambling and casino development and hotel development on 2609 02:21:25.479 --> 02:21:30.959 some of the more important decision making bodies and boards 2610 02:21:31.000 --> 02:21:37.559 and legislative bodies in Hawaii on Maui, and they didn't 2611 02:21:37.639 --> 02:21:41.959 want to keep these sacred old family homes. They wanted 2612 02:21:41.959 --> 02:21:46.360 to build these Las Vegas Disney World type structures. It's 2613 02:21:46.479 --> 02:21:49.440 really curious what were their plans, What did they think 2614 02:21:49.440 --> 02:21:51.920 they were going to do bringing Disney in to these 2615 02:21:52.000 --> 02:21:56.120 boards where there was nowhere else to build. You're going 2616 02:21:56.200 --> 02:21:57.840 to hit an ocean on one side, or you're going 2617 02:21:57.920 --> 02:21:58.600 to hit a mountain on. 2618 02:21:58.639 --> 02:21:59.239 The other side. 2619 02:21:59.799 --> 02:22:02.879 So that is why we were asking the question, what 2620 02:22:03.040 --> 02:22:04.959 were they thinking? Where did they think they were going 2621 02:22:05.000 --> 02:22:11.559 to build legitimately? And there were working class people, not 2622 02:22:11.719 --> 02:22:15.239 in Lahaina, not in Palisades. They weren't working class by 2623 02:22:15.280 --> 02:22:16.600 any means, but they. 2624 02:22:16.520 --> 02:22:17.120 Were in the way. 2625 02:22:18.360 --> 02:22:20.360 Well, working class folks can get in the way, and 2626 02:22:20.520 --> 02:22:24.559 so can multimillion dollar homes and more expensive land when 2627 02:22:24.600 --> 02:22:27.040 there's no more land and it's the best place because 2628 02:22:27.120 --> 02:22:30.079 the view or the location. That's when prices go up. 2629 02:22:30.239 --> 02:22:32.079 And of course there's nothing you can do about it 2630 02:22:32.559 --> 02:22:35.959 absent a massive natural disaster like we're witnessing going on 2631 02:22:36.120 --> 02:22:39.319 right now in Los Angeles, surrounded by all kinds of massive, 2632 02:22:39.479 --> 02:22:43.799 gross negligence, what I'm going to call wilful negligence. It's 2633 02:22:44.000 --> 02:22:47.239 fascinating stuff. I really appreciate you writing about it in 2634 02:22:47.319 --> 02:22:50.120 your books might encourage my listeners to get a copy 2635 02:22:50.200 --> 02:22:51.920 of them. And I will let you know. Maureen wanted 2636 02:22:51.920 --> 02:22:54.000 me to tell you specifically. She's one of my listeners 2637 02:22:54.360 --> 02:22:57.040 after our last conversation, she bought both of your books, 2638 02:22:57.079 --> 02:22:59.760 and she said, I literally could not put them down, 2639 02:23:00.239 --> 02:23:02.639 and I've recommended them to many of my friends. So 2640 02:23:03.360 --> 02:23:05.040 you least sold a few books last time you're on 2641 02:23:05.120 --> 02:23:06.959 the morning show, and I'll encourage my listeners to check 2642 02:23:07.000 --> 02:23:09.600 out what you're writing. Stephanie Perucci, it's been a real 2643 02:23:09.639 --> 02:23:12.000 pleasure talking with you. If you uncover anything else, you know, 2644 02:23:12.040 --> 02:23:13.719 you've got a vehicle here on the fifty five KRC 2645 02:23:13.799 --> 02:23:14.920 Morning should to get the word out. 2646 02:23:16.239 --> 02:23:18.440 I appreciate it so much. Thanks for having me back. 2647 02:23:18.600 --> 02:23:21.360 It's been my pleasure. Eight forty seven fifty five KRC, 2648 02:23:21.559 --> 02:23:23.319 The Talk Station. Don't go away, folks, got a few 2649 02:23:23.319 --> 02:23:25.479 more minutes to cover some stuff. I'll be right back. 2650 02:23:25.600 --> 02:23:28.399 Fifty five KR, The Talk Station.
