Speaker 1: Five o five, a fifty five k r c DE
Speaker 1: talk station.
Speaker 2: Happy Monday, Vation.
Speaker 1: No ideals, don you do? I perfect way to start
Speaker 1: off a Monday, Joss Trekker check your producer of the program,
Speaker 1: Jos Traker. My name is Brian Thomass to the fifty
Speaker 1: five KRSE Morning Show. Appreciate you tuning in and uh,
Speaker 1: good morning here on a Monday. Coming up six oh
Speaker 1: five in studio George Brennaman. George a very wonderful guy.
Speaker 1: It's got a whole lot to talk about this morning.
Speaker 1: One of the things we'll be talking about is Restore
Speaker 1: Wellness dot Org. It's a new uh thing that he
Speaker 1: has created along with the doctor. George a retired engineer
Speaker 1: with a forty year record of innovation and electronic controls
Speaker 1: and artificial intelligences, been getting involved with community advocacy for
Speaker 1: I've had a decade plus more than that. Even he's
Speaker 1: led a bunch of efforts here in the Southwest Ohio region,
Speaker 1: been on my program a bunch of times. Restore Wellness
Speaker 1: dot Org the result of a deep die, they say,
Speaker 1: in pursuit of personal health and better understanding of the
Speaker 1: chronic illness epidemic. So he's relied on some learning treatises
Speaker 1: and textbooks and the well the help and support of
Speaker 1: Keith kenhunt Field, a student of both conventional alternative therapy,
Speaker 1: is going to be focusing on being sensited all aspects
Speaker 1: of a patient experience, getting back to natural modalities and
Speaker 1: order to be more cost effective and more conducive and
Speaker 1: achieving wellness. The idea, of course, improve your health. Maybe
Speaker 1: this is along the lines of what are RFK Junior
Speaker 1: is talking about?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's why we get George and study to talk about
Speaker 1: well AT's talk about the local political matters, because George
Speaker 1: has got his well fingers on the pulse of what's
Speaker 1: going on locally in politics. That again coming up at
Speaker 1: six oh five. Just wait an hour for that one. Smitherman,
Speaker 1: it is Monday. We get the Smith event every Monday
Speaker 1: with the former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: That takes place at seven to twenty Monday Monday, with
Speaker 1: Brian James every Monday at eight oh five, talking about
Speaker 1: the December job report turned out a little bit better
Speaker 1: than some We're expecting market dropping because of concerns over
Speaker 1: inflation fears. M Are we gonna have an interest rate raise.
Speaker 1: I know they've already talked about no more interest rate
Speaker 1: drops and other issues with Brian James again eight oh
Speaker 1: five for that and Stephanie Peruci with the book Sound
Speaker 1: the Alarm? Are there similarities between the la fires and
Speaker 1: the Malley fires? Of course I anticipated those alarm bells
Speaker 1: ringing early on, given the UH. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's conspiracy theories or pattern observation or what the shenanigans,
Speaker 1: we'll just call it lightly that went on in connection
Speaker 1: with the Lahina fire. Lots of rumors, accusations and inu
Speaker 1: windows about whether that was sort of intentionally causing to
Speaker 1: bring up in order to bring about some sort of
Speaker 1: nirvana like driving community grid connected, just to all that
Speaker 1: nonsense we talk about all the time with global warming.
Speaker 1: So well, what's Governor Gavin news I have to say
Speaker 1: about all this? And you can feel free to call
Speaker 1: five one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight
Speaker 1: hundred eighty two to three talk pound five fifty on
Speaker 1: at and T phones, get your podcasts at fifty five
Speaker 1: care sea dot com. Well, those who are worried about
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories connection with Line and Los Angeles, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: they're doing this intentionally, just to bring about this well
Speaker 1: workable community with more affordable housing and tiny houses, and
Speaker 1: we're no longer going to have multi gazillion dollar homes.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Apparently, Governor Gavin Newsom just signed an
Speaker 1: executive order suspending regulations that impede the rebuilding process. Hmmm.
Speaker 1: Described as the three page executive order signed by the
Speaker 1: governor this week or over the weekend, even seeking to
Speaker 1: streamline the building permit process, as well as oh my god,
Speaker 1: roll back environmental regulations that subject rebuilding to layers of
Speaker 1: time consuming bureaucracy. What about the environment law covers all
Speaker 1: the areas affected by the fires. According to The New
Speaker 1: York Times, the order is likely to be the first
Speaker 1: of several permit streamlining measures issued by the state, county,
Speaker 1: and city agencies in the wake of the devastating fires
Speaker 1: across Greater Los Angeles. Court to the reporting, the order
Speaker 1: signed by Governor Newsom would also direct state agencies to
Speaker 1: coordinate with local governments to remove or expedite permitting and
Speaker 1: improval processes during rebuilding hmmm. They say. One of the
Speaker 1: most impactful rollbacks instituted by this order be the waiver
Speaker 1: on permanent requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act as
Speaker 1: well as the California State Coastal Act, according to The
Speaker 1: New York Times, and I think everybody appreciates this considering
Speaker 1: the price of property and building out there. California one
Speaker 1: of America's most difficult and costly places to build, a
Speaker 1: driving factor behind the state's long standing affordable housing shortage.
Speaker 1: It's amazing all these environmental regulations and roadblocks to buildings
Speaker 1: obviously driven up the price of real estate. When there's
Speaker 1: a massive impediment to building, literally anything from the most
Speaker 1: affordable project to the most expensive, multi gazillion dollar home
Speaker 1: takes a long time to do it. Everyone suffers. New
Speaker 1: York Times says, of all the hurdles of project can
Speaker 1: be subjected to, few are more difficult and time consuming
Speaker 1: than the California and Environmental Quality Act, which often requires
Speaker 1: developers to fund in depth environmental studies on a project's
Speaker 1: potential impact on everything from local wildfire wildlife to noise, views,
Speaker 1: and traffic. Groups who oppose a particular development often use
Speaker 1: the CEQA lawsuits to try and stop them, which adds
Speaker 1: years to even the smallest of projects. Newsom's order even
Speaker 1: went further than past waivers following other disasters, allowing property
Speaker 1: owners to rebuild their homes and businesses without even showing
Speaker 1: they had tried to comply with the CEQA despite the waiver.
Speaker 1: Hmm about his Executi Voter newsom under the following words,
Speaker 1: when the fires are extinguished, victims who have lost their
Speaker 1: homes and businesses must be able to rebuild quickly without roadblocks.
Speaker 1: The Executi Voter I signed today will help cut permitting
Speaker 1: delays and important first step in allowing our communities to
Speaker 1: recover faster and strowger. I've also ordered our state agencies
Speaker 1: to identify additional ways to streamline the rebuilding and recovery processes. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: you've got all these layers of bureaucracy and litigation while
Speaker 1: there aren't fires raging, which of course impeded the God's
Speaker 1: idea of building more homes, affordable housing, literally everything else
Speaker 1: that would benefit Californians in the name of the environment.
Speaker 1: It's also been recognized as I will get to by
Speaker 1: Tom McClintock. Tom one are the few Republicans representing California's
Speaker 1: fifth Congressional district, has this to say regarding these impediments,
Speaker 1: and how these impediments, and these allegedly in the name
Speaker 1: of the environment regulations, actually caused the problem. He writes,
Speaker 1: when one cabrillo dropped anchor and what's now Los Angeles
Speaker 1: San Pedro Bay, and the summer of fifteen forty two,
Speaker 1: he promptly named it the Bay of Smokes. Annual wildfires
Speaker 1: fanned by Santa Wins are nothing new in southern California.
Speaker 1: To remember, fifteen forty two is before global warming and
Speaker 1: climate change, before the Industrial revolution and the invention of
Speaker 1: the internal combustion engine. Stating the obvious, So this is
Speaker 1: how nature garden. She doesn't care who lives, whose lives
Speaker 1: are destroyed, whose homes are burned, or how long it
Speaker 1: takes to reclaim the scarred land. We mortals do. Throughout
Speaker 1: most of the twentieth century, we took measures to minimize
Speaker 1: the frequency and severity of wildfires. We created land management
Speaker 1: agencies to do some of the gardening ourselves. We removed
Speaker 1: excess timber, creating resilient, fire resistant forests, thriving mountain economies,
Speaker 1: and a lucrative source of public revenue. We leased public
Speaker 1: lands the sheep and cattle ranchers the stock kept brushed
Speaker 1: from building up. We established competent infrastructure to stop fires
Speaker 1: from getting out of control. We cut fire brakes into
Speaker 1: the soil to contain flames, and prior to eighteen hundred, remember,
Speaker 1: before global warming, California lost an average of four point
Speaker 1: five million acres of fires every year. As we introduced
Speaker 1: scientific land management and fire suppression measures. By the end
Speaker 1: of the twentieth century, that ever, dropped to around twenty
Speaker 1: five hundred or two hundred and fifty thousand acres, down
Speaker 1: from four point five million. But in twenty twenty, California
Speaker 1: suffered a single year loss of four point three million
Speaker 1: acres to wildfires. Between twenty nineteen and twenty twenty three,
Speaker 1: and average more than one and a half million acres
Speaker 1: burned every year. What happened? The left blames client changing climate,
Speaker 1: but that doesn't explain California's long history with massive wildfires
Speaker 1: or why fires became less threatening throughout most of the
Speaker 1: twentieth century. We can find a more likely culprit in
Speaker 1: the state's recent extreme environmental and social policies, which some
Speaker 1: of which you're just suspended by the wave of Governor
Speaker 1: Newsom's executive What are allowing and streamlining the building process.
Speaker 1: I guess it doesn't matter now. Environmental studies required by
Speaker 1: the National Environmental Policy Act the nineteen seventy now costs
Speaker 1: millions of dollars and take an average of five point
Speaker 1: three years for forced thinning projects in California to get approved.
Speaker 1: Often the cost amounts to more than the value of
Speaker 1: the timber itself. The amount of timber harvested from public
Speaker 1: lands has declined seventy five percent since the nineteen eighties,
Speaker 1: with a come commitment increase in forest acreage destroyed by wildfire.
Speaker 1: You can't cut it, but nature or some idiot, it's
Speaker 1: going to burn it down. Sheep and cattle grazing on
Speaker 1: public lands, once common in southern California, had largely been
Speaker 1: regulated out of use by bureaucratic restrictions and fees designed
Speaker 1: to discourage of practice. Wilderness restrictions make brush brush suppression
Speaker 1: more difficult throughout much of the state. Restrictions environmental leftists
Speaker 1: promised that laws such as the National Environmental Policy Act,
Speaker 1: the Wilderness Act, the Endangered Species Act would protect and
Speaker 1: improve the environment. Fifty years later, we're entitled to ask
Speaker 1: how's it going. Between twenty twelve and twenty twenty Onoeen,
Speaker 1: we lost a quarter of California's forest land of wildfires.
Speaker 1: And hear you know this is the stat right here.
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for it. A UCLA study, not the
Speaker 1: bashing of conservative thought. UCLA, I might interject, estimated that
Speaker 1: California's twenty twenty fires, No, that was four years ago.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty fires released twice as much greenhouse gas into
Speaker 1: the atmosphere as had been prevented by the previous eighteen
Speaker 1: years of primarily government and forced restrictions. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: that was just the twenty twenty fires. I wonder how
Speaker 1: much negation of these climate alarming you know, particulate regulations
Speaker 1: have been negated by the fires that are still burning
Speaker 1: as I speak this morning. Resource policy also changed radically.
Speaker 1: The visionary water projects of the twentieth century gave way
Speaker 1: to increasingly restrictive conservation edicts, while leftist officials neglected the reasons.
Speaker 1: Basic water infrastructure authorities forced utilities to spend billion on
Speaker 1: women and solar projects, money that could have otherwise funded
Speaker 1: such desperate priorities as fire proofing power lines. As a results,
Speaker 1: one of the states most heavily invested in wind power,
Speaker 1: it has shut down its power lines on windy days.
Speaker 1: It's a consequence of these follies, hydrants failed and many
Speaker 1: over extended, firefighters supporting having no choice but to surrender
Speaker 1: to the lays. Despite high taxes and government spending, LA
Speaker 1: woke officials still can't spare proper funding for its fire
Speaker 1: department under Americair and Bass cities already underfunded budget by
Speaker 1: more than seventeen million dollars last year. Meanwhile, the city
Speaker 1: spent them as twice as much as the fire department's
Speaker 1: budget on homeless projects. Strained by the state's illegal immigrant problem,
Speaker 1: fueled in part by LA's designated itself a sanctuary city,
Speaker 1: local officials seem more concerned with social justice than putting
Speaker 1: out real fires. State imposed price controls on fire insurance
Speaker 1: premiums have destroyed that industry. To premiums assign a dollar
Speaker 1: value to the risk of living in an area. As
Speaker 1: the risk increases, so do the premiums. But no, not
Speaker 1: in California, where regulators have limited companies ability to set
Speaker 1: market premiums. These price controls do what they always do,
Speaker 1: distort the price signals consumers need to make rational decisions.
Speaker 1: And create short of whatever is being controlled. Fire insurers
Speaker 1: can no longer charge sufficient premiums to cover the risk,
Speaker 1: leaving them with no other choice but to exit the market.
Speaker 1: Fire is a condition of nature, but how we deal
Speaker 1: with it is a choice. Tragedy in southern California is
Speaker 1: the result of decades of self destructive policies made by
Speaker 1: foolish politicians. We can change the policies that got us
Speaker 1: into this mess by throwing out the politicians who made them,
Speaker 1: or wait for a desperate situation like Governor Newsom is
Speaker 1: facing right now and get rid of them by an
Speaker 1: executive order. Don't ever count on that, folks, he concludes,
Speaker 1: in terms of changing the politicians, Let's hope we do
Speaker 1: so before the next big fire five nineteen fifty five
Speaker 1: care Cee detox Nation, stick around, play to talk about it.
Speaker 4: You're right back fifty five KRC if you're living with.
Speaker 1: Se detox station and a happy Monday to Hundre two
Speaker 1: three tak Ti fifty eight at funds. I also point
Speaker 1: to the insanity of California's energy electricity rates and why
Speaker 1: the wildfire and climate policies have sent them through the
Speaker 1: roof alre to the highest electricity prices in the nation,
Speaker 1: growing faster than any other state wildfire related costs. The
Speaker 1: state's ambitious greenhouse gas reduction programs and policies are apparently
Speaker 1: the reason for it. According to a non partisan government
Speaker 1: agency's review of this.
Speaker 3: I just.
Speaker 1: The state's Legislative Analyst Office LAO did the report, about
Speaker 1: three quarters of the state wide energy services are from
Speaker 1: three large investor owned utilities. In the past ten years
Speaker 1: between January twenty fourteenth and twenty four the electricity rate
Speaker 1: increases of those three large companies increases range from eighty
Speaker 1: three to one hundred and eighteen percent, far more than
Speaker 1: double the national average of thirty four percent. Wildfire related
Speaker 1: to costs, electricity rates increased in recent years, making up
Speaker 1: between seven and thirteen percent of your electricity bill in California.
Speaker 1: According to the state's report, utility service providers are liable
Speaker 1: for the cost of wildfires caused by their infrastructure, regardless
Speaker 1: of whether they have found of an acted negligent little.
Speaker 1: Of course, it's their equipment. They have to take care
Speaker 1: of it and replacement. You own a business, you own trucks,
Speaker 1: the trucks wreck, you've got to deal with it. Hopefully,
Speaker 1: you have insurance, or in the state of California where
Speaker 1: there is an insurance anymore, it's your cost. Well, those
Speaker 1: costs are passed along to the ratepayers. They pay for
Speaker 1: the wildfire insurance. Also that covers some of the California
Speaker 1: Wildfire Fund. You're paying for that won if anybody feels
Speaker 1: they've got a good return of their investment, considering their
Speaker 1: utility bills are about twenty percent higher than they otherwise
Speaker 1: would be because of these fires. Also, you're forced out
Speaker 1: there to pay for climate programs again negated completely by
Speaker 1: the fires that are raging. Greenhouse emission reduction efforts also
Speaker 1: adds to the rate payer bill in California, they say.
Speaker 1: One of the examples cited into the state report a
Speaker 1: program requiring certain percentage of utilities retail energy to come
Speaker 1: from renewable resources. The state report found that the program
Speaker 1: added about five percent to the increase in electricity rates.
Speaker 1: Ah The California Public Utility Commission authorizes utility companies to
Speaker 1: implement various rate payer funded In other words, they decide
Speaker 1: you pay to help support California's zero mission vehicle goals,
Speaker 1: including installing publicly available charging stations. They don't have to
Speaker 1: do it. They're authorized to do it, but since they're
Speaker 1: passing along the cost to the consumer, they do it right.
Speaker 1: Pairs also required to pay for a variety of other
Speaker 1: programs aimed at helping the state meet its climate goals
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, and estimated four percent of average
Speaker 1: rates were used for supporting the programs. And again going
Speaker 1: back to the state Representative McClintock's point, after all that
Speaker 1: extra money that's been paid by every single Californian with
Speaker 1: an electric bill, and all the money that's been thrown
Speaker 1: at these programs, and all the efforts to reduce their
Speaker 1: carbon emissions down to zero by some arbitrarily randomly selected
Speaker 1: calendar year UCLA, the study estimated California's twenty twenty fires
Speaker 1: alone released twice as much greenhouse gas into the atmosphere
Speaker 1: as had been prevented by the previous eighteen years of
Speaker 1: government and forest restrictions. Sisiphis comes to mind five seven

Speaker 1: as well. Ah Boone County doing the right thing, going
Speaker 1: in the opposite direction as they've done in California. The
Speaker 1: well closing are closer to prohibiting large solar farms to
Speaker 1: preserve rural farmland. Janry Andine Boone County Fiscal Court conducted
Speaker 1: its first reading and an ordinance that would allow would
Speaker 1: add language to the county's zoning code to regulate and
Speaker 1: define solar energy systems and battery storage facilities within unincorporated county.
Speaker 1: Land Boone County Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval prior to
Speaker 1: the regulation being presented. New regulations would prohibit solar farms
Speaker 1: and only allow solar storage facilities on parcels of land
Speaker 1: within an industrial zoning designation. Regulations would not prohibit rooftop
Speaker 1: mounted solar systems and industrial zones. Boone County Zoning Administrator
Speaker 1: Michael Schwartz, I guess speaking with WCPO, it's where I'm
Speaker 1: getting the reporting on this. Thank you to Kenton Hornback
Speaker 1: for doing the reporting. This is really geared to industrial
Speaker 1: uses and residential uses for battery storage facilities. That regulates
Speaker 1: the larger industrial type to those industrial zones. So if
Speaker 1: past regulations would only apply to the future development of
Speaker 1: private solar farms, sports confirmed to the Fiscal Court, the
Speaker 1: Kentucky State Law Cares one hundred point three twenty four
Speaker 1: For those keeping track dictates the public utility facilities are
Speaker 1: exempt from local planning and zoning requirements. Moreover, a Court
Speaker 1: of the Kentucky Resource Council, solar arrays proposed by utility
Speaker 1: regulated by the Public Service Commission or municipality are also
Speaker 1: exempt from local planning and zoning requirements. Judge Executive Gary
Speaker 1: Moore said it does protect from private, non utility development
Speaker 1: of solar farms. Okay not the only local government taking
Speaker 1: measures to reign in solar farm development. In February twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three, Kentucky and Lantern Link NKY Content Partner reported
Speaker 1: that thirteen county fiscal courts and seven city governments across
Speaker 1: Kentucky had taken measures to regulate solar projects within their jurisdiction,
Speaker 1: saving them from the I guess environmental green alarmists I
Speaker 1: don't know. Stolen semi trucks sent law enforcement on a
Speaker 1: chase across Butler and Preble County on Saturday afternoon. Butler
Speaker 1: County Sheriff Richard Jones shared a video on x detailing
Speaker 1: the pursuit, which began twelve forty seven in the afternoon.
Speaker 1: Set in the post, thirty seven year old Joseph Allen
Speaker 1: Horton was arrested after a multi jurisdictional pursuit. Horton's been
Speaker 1: charged with a third degree felony failure to comply, fourth
Speaker 1: degree felony receiving stolen property. Reportedly, Cjm's Trucking company discovered
Speaker 1: that one of their twenty thirteen Kenworth semitrucks was missing
Speaker 1: and they began tracking the semi truck. They discovered it
Speaker 1: was exiting Ice seventy five near Middletown, where the Butler
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's Office said the pursuit began. Sheriff's office said
Speaker 1: Horton traveled through multiple cities and jurisdictions while he attempted
Speaker 1: to thwart the pursuit by throwing hammers and tools out
Speaker 1: of the window onto pursuing officers. Pursuit came in an
Speaker 1: end after a semi truck hit stop sticks, causing it
Speaker 1: to run off the road at the Third Street extension
Speaker 1: just north of Black Street in Hamilton. Least in the

Speaker 7: Hey, Happy new year, Brian. Yes, I'm an avid listener,
Speaker 7: even when I'm not on.
Speaker 1: I do appreciate that you know. And then nothing warms
Speaker 1: my heart more than to know that you know whise
Speaker 1: and logical, reasonable folks like you actually listen to my program.
Speaker 1: I consider that this is the highest possible honor I
Speaker 1: could have and charge conversations your podcast.
Speaker 7: Yes, absolutely, and as soon as this transition duty is
Speaker 7: over for the incoming present, on my way to Washington,
Speaker 7: DC right now. That's why you fired up another episode
Speaker 7: of that.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that I didn't put that right at the
Speaker 1: front of your resume as I was reminding folks of
Speaker 1: of your background. Yes, you are on the Trump transition team.
Speaker 7: I am, indeed and have been working behind the scenes
Speaker 7: since September trying to prepare the new administration to be
Speaker 7: armed with all the information they need to take assume
Speaker 7: power on January twentieth. And this will be my third
Speaker 7: time participating in the peaceful transfer of government.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you doing that. So what elements are you
Speaker 1: going to be dealing with? I trust its energy policy,
Speaker 1: doing energy.
Speaker 7: But I'm also on the national security side. I'll be
Speaker 7: at the Pentagon here in just a couple hours, where
Speaker 7: I've been parked for the last week, talking through national
Speaker 7: security issues with them, And yeah, it's exciting. You know,
Speaker 7: there are hundreds of us working on this, and actually
Speaker 7: the transition team is embedded right now and every single
Speaker 7: federal agency trying to get to the bottom of things,
Speaker 7: I guess.
Speaker 1: But just collectively speaking, are you getting any pushback from
Speaker 1: the current powers that be before the transition takes place?
Speaker 1: I mean, you know all those rumors about people popping
Speaker 1: w's off of the of the keyboards back when Bush
Speaker 1: was taking over the as president. I don't know if
Speaker 1: that kind of childish shenanigans is going on, but obviously
Speaker 1: there's a new sheriff in town. Clearly the business world
Speaker 1: is reacting favorably toward the transition and sort of conceding
Speaker 1: the loss and moving in a more conservative direction. You've
Speaker 1: got the DEI policies getting thrown out. You've got Zuckerberg
Speaker 1: getting rid of the so called fact checkers because of
Speaker 1: course the Department of Justice was busily deleting information that
Speaker 1: we all found accurate. So there seems to be this
Speaker 1: this colossal shift going on outside. How's it like on
Speaker 1: the inside as a transition team is working.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I will tell you the agencies I've been in,
Speaker 7: it's been very orderly, it's been very receptive. We've had
Speaker 7: briefings with all the leadership of all the different agencies.
Speaker 7: I've been personally brief practically one on one with all
Speaker 7: of our combatant commanders around the world, Sentcom, you COOM, Africom, Northcom,
Speaker 7: et cetera. You know, so everything that I have seen.
Speaker 7: And on the energy side, the same thing. Any document
Speaker 7: request we want, we've gotten. Any briefing we've asked for,
Speaker 7: we've gotten. Now. The other thing it's still frustrating, Brian,
Speaker 7: is the current administration is acting like you know, there's
Speaker 7: no change. They are hiring people, they are spending money,
Speaker 7: they are pushing out regulations right until the very last day.
Speaker 7: And it's very frustrating, especially when senior career leaders are
Speaker 7: being hired and the incoming team will have to decide,
Speaker 7: you know, what they can do. Do they have to
Speaker 7: keep those people? They'd like to hire their own people, right,
Speaker 7: But that's a longer conversation.
Speaker 1: Well, are there any prohibitions to just canning the people
Speaker 1: that have been recently hired in favor of folks that
Speaker 1: this new administration would prefer, folks that sort of have
Speaker 1: at least a consistent focus and perspective upon what the
Speaker 1: government is trying to accomplish.
Speaker 7: Yes, great idea. If somebody is new to government, they're
Speaker 7: on a one year probation. If someone is a member
Speaker 7: of the Senior Executive Service, which are like generals and
Speaker 7: admirals on the career non uniform side, they can be
Speaker 7: a reassigned to any position within the agency bought. There
Speaker 7: is a hold a federal law that prohibits an incoming
Speaker 7: administration from making any personnel changes the first one hundred
Speaker 7: and twenty days. So we're stuck with what we've got.
Speaker 1: So this is just one more just middle finger at
Speaker 1: Trump having won the election. I mean to put people
Speaker 1: in these positions that are clearly subject to being removed
Speaker 1: under the law within the first year. This is just
Speaker 1: a speed bump and an intended impediment to stop Trump
Speaker 1: from getting what he wants done quicker.
Speaker 7: It's I think you can certainly look at it that way,
Speaker 7: especially if there are these political hires or people that
Speaker 7: are currently in political slots that would have to resign
Speaker 7: wise on January twentieth, because you know, the five thousand
Speaker 7: senior policy and executive positions are all political, they have
Speaker 7: to resign. Some of those do what's called burrowing in.
Speaker 7: They suddenly switch to a career status and try to
Speaker 7: assume a job meant for career civil servants and hope
Speaker 7: nobody notices. But that's not going to work well.
Speaker 1: I would hope the transition team will be paying attention
Speaker 1: to and writing down names that would help them be
Speaker 1: easy identify those folks down the road. Well.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, that is a big part of it. But I
Speaker 7: have to say it's also intended to keep new the
Speaker 7: new administration to give to force administration to take some
Speaker 7: time to make sure they know what they're they're doing
Speaker 7: before they go after people. And you shouldn't be going
Speaker 7: after anybody unless it's just not based on merrit. Brian
Speaker 7: and if I may, I can tell you across government
Speaker 7: the eyes out the window, everything's going to be based
Speaker 7: on merit. You want a promotion, merit, you want to
Speaker 7: be hired merit. That's where it's going to go.
Speaker 1: Well, that's where it should have been all along. You know,
Speaker 1: you want the best and brightest people in charge. I
Speaker 1: mean that just seems logical and reasonable, and of course
Speaker 1: that got thrown out the window in the name of
Speaker 1: DEI Bringham. You want to hang out, I figure you
Speaker 1: got more to talk about in comment on in the
Speaker 1: transition as well as maybe your response to the California wildfires.
Speaker 1: Wildfires just having some connection with their energy policy and
Speaker 1: Green New Deal and green focus. Bring the Mcowan from
Speaker 1: the Hudson Institute. Pause for a moment. We'll bring them back.
Speaker 1: It's five forty six fifty five KRC DE Talk station
Speaker 1: fifty five the talk station I love.
Speaker 5: This is the best job people.
Speaker 1: Five fifty to fifty five KRC Detalk station. A very
Speaker 1: happy Monday to you. And normally doing snack is stupid,
Speaker 1: but when it comes to environmental policies to California, is
Speaker 1: revealing that well they are and should be a subject
Speaker 1: matter of the stack of stupid and somebody knows all
Speaker 1: about energy policy. Bringa McGowan from the Hudson Institute Charged
Speaker 1: Conversations as his podcast, you can find that we've had
Speaker 1: bring them on the program a lot talk about energy policy.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you heard the read Tom McClintock.
Speaker 1: He's an elected official Republican in California representing the fifth
Speaker 1: Congressional district. He pointed out a fun fact California's twenty
Speaker 1: twenty fires, going back a few years on that brig
Speaker 1: and released twice as much greenhouse gas into the atmosphere,
Speaker 1: has been prevented by the prior eighteen years of government
Speaker 1: and force restrictions. As I see the raging fires out there,
Speaker 1: the worst in the nation's history, probably one of the
Speaker 1: worst natural disasters. They're still burning right now, obviously bigger
Speaker 1: than the twenty twenty fires. And I see New York
Speaker 1: City has issued a new char broial rule that would
Speaker 1: force the char broilers of meat to cut their emissions
Speaker 1: by seventy five percent. As if that's going to do anything. Brigham,
Speaker 1: your comments about energy policy and how well it served
Speaker 1: California or generally speaking.
Speaker 7: Yeah, thanks, Brian. You know it's.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 7: There's lots of saying but I don't know if I
Speaker 7: can repeat them on the radio. But people, some of
Speaker 7: these people obviously do.
Speaker 1: Not live in the real world.
Speaker 7: And while maybe well intentioned, if one really believes what
Speaker 7: they believe, it's absolutely only harming ourselves, you know it is. Meanwhile,
Speaker 7: while China, India, the global South, China in particular, puts
Speaker 7: out more emissions in the entire Western world, we are
Speaker 7: You can hold your breath, Brian. We could not admit
Speaker 7: a single thing and it won't change the outcome other
Speaker 7: than harm ourselves.
Speaker 1: Right now, well, and that seems to be the only
Speaker 1: conclusion one can reach. This is for the purpose of
Speaker 1: harming ourselves, to reduce us, to make us a less consumptive,
Speaker 1: less prosperous society. I've been making that point for years
Speaker 1: because that's the only place the arrows of logic and
Speaker 1: reason ultimately point, since, for example, one year of firefighters
Speaker 1: in negates eighteen years of our throat cutting in an
Speaker 1: effort to stop CO two emissions. It's just it. It's
Speaker 1: as if we don't pay attention to anything.
Speaker 7: That is exactly and what we're really doing, to your point,
Speaker 7: is harming ourselves. We're harming our economy, We're harming our
Speaker 7: standard living. This climate change is a religion. It's a
Speaker 7: religion frankly the left. It's a religion of people that
Speaker 7: think we should all live in communes. It's a religion
Speaker 7: of people that were the Occupy Wall Street movement that
Speaker 7: think capitalism and is bad. And I can keep going
Speaker 7: on and on. Quite honestly, China and some of our
Speaker 7: other adversaries around the world want us to buy into
Speaker 7: this also because it weakens our national security, and yeah,
Speaker 7: we've got to stop, you know. And the wildfires, you know,
Speaker 7: the Mali wildfires were blamed on climate change. Some of
Speaker 7: the earlier wildfires were arson, but some were actually a
Speaker 7: result of the electric company out there PG and E
Speaker 7: not being able to provide upgrades which required construction, which
Speaker 7: required going into quote ecologically sensitive areas, so high winds,
Speaker 7: power lines fell on the grounds, are fires.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. We've met the enemy, and.
Speaker 7: It's us, Brian, We are our own worst enemy with
Speaker 7: these prioritized, politically charged religious view. It's not climate change,
Speaker 7: It's called weather exactly. Exactly. And it's comical that the
Speaker 7: electric companies are charged with the obligation and protect the
Speaker 7: power grid and you know, make sure that the power
Speaker 7: lines are protected, and then when they go to do that,
Speaker 7: we need to put in fire breaks, We need to
Speaker 7: do this, We need to do brush removal, we need
Speaker 7: to do some deforestation, et cetera. They're met with all
Speaker 7: these environmental challenges which are created by regulations in the
Speaker 7: state of California which obliges the power companies to make
Speaker 7: sure the power lines are safe. I mean, it's a
Speaker 7: circular pleasure fest if I can be so delicate in
Speaker 7: giving the FEC compliance obligations. You are spot on, and
Speaker 7: you know, talking about the need to clear the underbrush
Speaker 7: to prevent these fires, to remove flammable material. You may
Speaker 7: remember Trump actually talked about that last time, and he
Speaker 7: was talking about, you know, the underbrush and European forests,
Speaker 7: and everybody laughed at him. So Trump thinks we need
Speaker 7: to go, you know, clean. He thinks the forests are
Speaker 7: clean in Europe and they're not here, and we need
Speaker 7: to spend more money. Now, what he was saying is,
Speaker 7: you've got to take care of things around your house
Speaker 7: and around public lands to minimize fire dangers.
Speaker 1: Seems like a simple prospect and they used to do it,
Speaker 1: but they stopped doing it. And look what we've brought about.
Speaker 1: Brig McGowan, Hudson Institute. Appreciate you calling in this morning,
Speaker 1: Appreciate you tuning into the fifty five KRC Morning Show
Speaker 1: offering your insight, and I wish you all the best
Speaker 1: with the Trump transition team. And we'll look forward to
Speaker 1: listening to another edition of Charge Conversations. Find it on
Speaker 1: where you find your podcast. Bring him thanks again. We'll
Speaker 1: talk very soon. I feel certain coming up with five
Speaker 1: bet Thanks Brian. Five fifty six fifty five k STEE
Speaker 1: Talk Station, George Brunneman after the news. There's no shortage
Speaker 1: of stuff to talk about in twenty twenty five. I'm
Speaker 1: so excited the conversation is happening here on fifty five KRC.
Speaker 8: The talk station run a business, and it's until five
Speaker 8: fifty about KRCD talk station.
Speaker 1: It is Monday and a very happy one tea, and
Speaker 1: I was so pleased to see George Brownhan was on
Speaker 1: the rundown this morning. And George is not alone in
Speaker 1: studio with George nurse practitioner Keith Tenfield. We're gonna be
Speaker 1: talking about George Brenneman's new program, Restore Wellness dot org. Well,
Speaker 1: it's actually George and Keith's new program. Restore Wellness dot
Speaker 1: Org is the website. It's all about wellness. George. You know,
Speaker 1: he's a retired engineer. He's got all kinds of props, innovation,
Speaker 1: electronic controls, artificial intelligence. He's been involved in community activity
Speaker 1: for more than a decade, done on my program many
Speaker 1: times about local issues, and this Restore Wellness dot Org
Speaker 1: as a result of his personal pursuit for better health
Speaker 1: along with his wife. We'll get some details on that.
Speaker 1: Did a whole lot of research and then teamed up
Speaker 1: with Keith, who is a nurse practitioner, started a journey
Speaker 1: in medicine conventional and alternative therapies with a focus on
Speaker 1: being sensitive to all aspects of a patient's experience. I
Speaker 1: guess everybody's different, so he wants to get back to
Speaker 1: natural modalities and this kind of sort of jobs perfectly
Speaker 1: timing wise with our FK Junior and welcome, gentlemen. It's
Speaker 1: great to have you both in studio. Thanks for showing
Speaker 1: up today. Thanks Brian Glad to be here, and I
Speaker 1: appreciate the topic. Our FK Junior is kind of an
Speaker 1: odd guy. I don't agree with everything he has to say.
Speaker 1: I'm glad there's a polio vaccine, for example, because I've
Speaker 1: seen rooms full of people in iron lungs before then
Speaker 1: and polio vaccine came out, So I'm not a complete
Speaker 1: vaccine skeptic. Now. COVID nineteen and the problems with the
Speaker 1: mRNA vaccine and all that I see, I hear, I
Speaker 1: read about, I'm worried about it. It's kind of put
Speaker 1: everybody back on their heels when it comes to the
Speaker 1: concept of vaccines generally. But the thing that I really
Speaker 1: embraced about RFK Junior, and the fact that he's involved
Speaker 1: on some or may very well be involved on some
Speaker 1: level with the administration, is this focus on the food
Speaker 1: that we eat. Absolutely, And you know, I've talked about
Speaker 1: it before, and George, you have personal experience with the
Speaker 1: keto diet and when I decided to try to pursue
Speaker 1: that to deal with my cancer, because there are a
Speaker 1: lot of clinical trials and studies out there which show,
Speaker 1: you know, removing the excess sugar from your diet can
Speaker 1: starve the cancer, and of course that includes getting rid
Speaker 1: of the cars. Carbs convert to sugar. Fine, But when
Speaker 1: you start looking at food labeling and you start trying
Speaker 1: to find where sugars are, you come to this realization
Speaker 1: that all these there's so many editives in literally everything.
Speaker 1: And this is a more recent societal phenomenon. I supposed
Speaker 1: to roll back the clock forty years, there wouldn't be
Speaker 1: all these you know.
Speaker 9: Well, not only that, it's only happening in the United States,
Speaker 9: so high fruc dose cornsrup probably the evil of all
Speaker 9: evils that they've stuck in there that didn't happen anywhere else.
Speaker 9: And in the United States it's only happening because the
Speaker 9: government has corn subsidies that make the price cheaper. And
Speaker 9: it's more addictive than sugar, and it's cheaper than sugar.
Speaker 9: So that's why we're the only country that has that
Speaker 9: stuff in our foods. So much of what's happening, and
Speaker 9: the additives are the key. It's only happening here because
Speaker 9: our agencies, the ones that are supposed to protect us,
Speaker 9: most of their funding comes from the people they're trying
Speaker 9: to regulate, so pharmaceutical their industry controls the FDA and
Speaker 9: controls all of the processes to get the drugs onto
Speaker 9: the market.
Speaker 1: So you have this corruption.
Speaker 9: That was one of the things I think I've mentioned
Speaker 9: this before is that the corruption that goes on in
Speaker 9: the medical and food industry is just as bad as
Speaker 9: the corruption that goes on in the political industry, maybe
Speaker 9: even worse.
Speaker 1: Well. And pharmaceutical companies are interested in their bottom line,
Speaker 1: of course, and they create cures for symptoms. They aren't
Speaker 1: interested in addressing the source of the symptom, which exactly
Speaker 1: and we take this crap out of our food and
Speaker 1: maybe we wouldn't be dealing with the problems that require
Speaker 1: pharmaceuticals to address. So we're also the only nation that
Speaker 1: uses seed oils the same way, so vegetable oil, canola, soybean,
Speaker 1: all of those things which the body doesn't know what
Speaker 1: to do with when you stick it in there, and
Speaker 1: they make everything worse. I think Keith will talk about
Speaker 1: the way it makes your body inflame. All of that
Speaker 1: stuff a US only problem. Most places only use avocado
Speaker 1: and olive oil. We started or good old bacon grease,
Speaker 1: you know, switched over to avocado. I make my own
Speaker 1: mayonnaise now, which is really simple. Really, That's one of
Speaker 1: the things I keep wanting to do because cheese. You
Speaker 1: can't find a bottle of mayonnaise that doesn't have soybean oil,
Speaker 1: and none of them. I made a batch a day
Speaker 1: before yesterday. You got one of those wand blunders. Yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: You put too well, one egg, a cup of avocado oil,
Speaker 1: about a half a teaspoon of lemon juice, about a
Speaker 1: quarter to a half teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and I
Speaker 1: think that's it. Maybe it was a little of white
Speaker 1: wine vinegar two about the same amount as lemon juice.
Speaker 1: Put all that in a container where the wand blender
Speaker 1: is fits with the bottom of it, and you just
Speaker 1: turn it on one minute and you've got mayonnaise, period,
Speaker 1: and it's awesome. It tastes great. It's got nothing in it.
Speaker 1: But what I just mentioned all natural ingredients, including the
Speaker 1: primary source of the oil, avocado oil. And that's what
Speaker 1: we need to get to.
Speaker 9: And that's sort of where this restore wellness idea came from.
Speaker 9: Was that there COVID woke everybody up right. You suddenly
Speaker 9: realized how corrupt what was going on with like fauci
Speaker 9: as far as push those mRNAs and the fact that
Speaker 9: COVID was only killing people over the age of seventy,
Speaker 9: but we're going to give these vaccines to five year olds.
Speaker 9: You know, it made everybody step back and say, what
Speaker 9: the heck's going on here? And when simultaneously with that,
Speaker 9: two other things happened. There's a lot of new books
Speaker 9: out there talking about metabolic health, and there's a lot
Speaker 9: of new information coming out there because of RFK Junior
Speaker 9: and his challenges. Yeah, and so you had this nexus
Speaker 9: of all of this new information and the fact that
Speaker 9: COVID was waking everyone up. And so, like I, Nancy
Speaker 9: and I just started down this path of reading a
Speaker 9: ton of books and came to the conclusion, Hey, keto
Speaker 9: is the way to go, Like you said, but we
Speaker 9: had tried keto before, back when it was called Atkins right,
Speaker 9: and the whole purpose was to lose weight. Well, now
Speaker 9: the purpose wasn't for us to lose weight. It was
Speaker 9: we don't want to get cancer. We don't want to
Speaker 9: get heart disease. You know, we're trying to get rid
Speaker 9: of inflammation, the fact that every bone in our body
Speaker 9: hurts when we move. And sure enough, if that's your
Speaker 9: motivation for changing your diet, you'll do it, where as
Speaker 9: opposed to, Okay, I want to lose twenty pounds, I'm
Speaker 9: going to go on quto for five months.
Speaker 1: Well well, and again, I don't know if keto's the
Speaker 1: end all be all, and it's not an easy diet
Speaker 1: to follow, but I did it for reason number one.
Speaker 1: I'm in this sort of pause between maybe getting cancer
Speaker 1: therapy or treatments, traditional cancer therapy treatments, or trying a
Speaker 1: different path. And I was given sort of a pause.
Speaker 1: I could choose to go ahead with a protocol or
Speaker 1: take away and see approach, which is what I chose.
Speaker 1: And then I started doing all this research and finding
Speaker 1: all these studies on keto and its relationship to cancer. Now,
Speaker 1: I'll be the first person to admit I haven't seen
Speaker 1: any to talk about keto relating to lymphoma, which is
Speaker 1: my cancer. So with hard tumors, breast cancers and brain
Speaker 1: tumors and other tumors that they've shown some really amazing,
Speaker 1: amazing results with these protocols, some of them which involve
Speaker 1: ivermectin and some others, but legitimately and it sort of
Speaker 1: accepted in the medical community, peer reviewed scientific studies saying
Speaker 1: this might be the way to go. So that was
Speaker 1: motivation number one, and of course motivation number two. I
Speaker 1: got tired of being called fat by my relatives, so
Speaker 1: I was able to lose you know, basically ten pounds.
Speaker 1: It's stalled though right there, and now I'm sort of
Speaker 1: doing this hybrid. My wife is baking homemade bread now
Speaker 1: and it's impossible to say no to just one slice
Speaker 1: of bread. I mean, you got to have some carbs
Speaker 1: in your life. It makes life worth living, which is
Speaker 1: the hard part about keito because you're not supposed to
Speaker 1: eat carbs at all.
Speaker 10: You know, well, Brian, you know, I think one of
Speaker 10: the things is that people look at keto as a diet,
Speaker 10: and I particularly like to look at it as a
Speaker 10: nutritional status. Like if you're going to bring food into
Speaker 10: your body, make it a nutritional source, something that has
Speaker 10: a high vitality to it, so your entire existence becomes
Speaker 10: more vital. And it's also more of like a cultural
Speaker 10: sense too. You you look around at certain people, like say Cincinnati,
Speaker 10: and we might have a maybe a mild obesity problem
Speaker 10: in general, so we kind of accept overweight as a
Speaker 10: just a general thing, where if you go to forends
Speaker 10: like Naples where my in laws live.
Speaker 1: They're all skinny down there.
Speaker 10: It's a different kind of culture, so they're eating different,
Speaker 10: exercising different.
Speaker 1: And we can't do just one thing. We can't just
Speaker 1: do a diet.
Speaker 10: We have to exercise, we have to move, we have
Speaker 10: to hydrate, and putting all that together makes a fantastic
Speaker 10: energetic self. And in that energetic self, you feel more
Speaker 10: motivated to even be healthier and go do things like
Speaker 10: pickleball and play and have an active lifestyle. It builds
Speaker 10: on itself, right exactly. It produces that motivation that just
Speaker 10: gets you in the right direction.
Speaker 1: You know. All right, let's pause. We will continue this
Speaker 1: conversation again. You can find the website it's Restore Wellness
Speaker 1: dot or we're going to continue with George brunhaman and
Speaker 1: nurse practitioner Keith Tannenfeld. After a word for QC Kinetics
Speaker 1: speaking of health and well natural medicines. That's what QC
Speaker 1: connects all about. Pain is what it's all about. You've
Speaker 1: got pain. I'll tell you what maybe even dealing with
Speaker 1: joint pain for quite some time, you've been taking pain medications.
Speaker 1: You have dealt with the steroid injections. Well, how about
Speaker 1: QC Kinetics QC Kinetics natural biologics to help your body
Speaker 1: heal itself. And this is an in uh, it's an
Speaker 1: in office procedure. And what you need to do is
Speaker 1: make a making appointment with QC Kinetics to find out
Speaker 1: if these natural biologic treatments can help you deal with
Speaker 1: your pain. And they very well have. May maye because
Speaker 1: you know, QC Kinetics now has helped tens of thousands
Speaker 1: of patients deal with their pain without having surgery, and
Speaker 1: that's probably next on your list. The whole idea of
Speaker 1: the surgical option. If you are struggling with joint pain,
Speaker 1: our threat is back pain, knee pain, hip pain. QC
Speaker 1: Kinetics to the rescue. Maybe it's a free consultation, so
Speaker 1: get in touch with them today. QC Kinetics.
Speaker 11: Fifty five KRC dot Com cybersecurity threats around thinking about
Speaker 11: krcity talk station Happy Monday one off for now former
Speaker 11: Vice Mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher smithmen with
Speaker 11: the Monday Morning Smither vent.
Speaker 1: We's get money money with Brian James in the meantime
Speaker 1: from Restore Liberty dot Us normally talking politics with George Runvan.
Speaker 1: He's teamed up with a nurse practitioner named Keith Tennantfeld,
Speaker 1: both of them in studio to talk about a better
Speaker 1: path for well living your life and eating. It's Restore
Speaker 1: Wellness dot org. Gentlemen, I generally speaking, if you had
Speaker 1: to boil down your advocacy and what you're hoping to
Speaker 1: accomplish with Restore Wellness dot org, what would it be?
Speaker 1: And I also want to hear the story about how
Speaker 1: you two hooked up.
Speaker 9: So the main focus is think of it as lead
Speaker 9: a horse to water, you know. Unlike Restore Liberty, where
Speaker 9: we were trying to influence political outcomes, so the people
Speaker 9: that we were talking to, we really weren't trying to
Speaker 9: help them. We were trying to encourage them to go
Speaker 9: out and talk to other people and influence the process.
Speaker 9: With Restore Wellness, the whole focus is one to one.
Speaker 9: We want to get the people that are listening. We
Speaker 9: want to give them the tools to make a more
Speaker 9: healthy choice just in general, to help hopefully, you know,
Speaker 9: get these principles out there and give people a chance
Speaker 9: to take care of themselves. I think the main, folks,
Speaker 9: is the idea that we want to move from this
Speaker 9: idea that you go to see your doctor because you
Speaker 9: have a symptom and you want to cure. So you've
Speaker 9: already got a problem, and we want to change that
Speaker 9: focus to be I don't want to get the problem
Speaker 9: in the first place, exactly.
Speaker 1: And so that's just so radical nowadays.
Speaker 9: Because you go, like like Keith was just saying, with
Speaker 9: the vaccines, you go in, you got a symptom, here's
Speaker 9: your here's your pill, get out of here. And I
Speaker 9: think that's just totally missing, and that's why we have
Speaker 9: all these chronic diseases.
Speaker 10: And I think what also is we have to think
Speaker 10: of our future, of our kids when they see when
Speaker 10: when kids see their parents doing healthy choices, when they
Speaker 10: see them working out, then that's going to be a
Speaker 10: generational change and generations.
Speaker 1: What's going to drive our health and moness in the future.
Speaker 10: And what you mentioned about horses and fantastic things like,
Speaker 10: I believe that we're being farmed. I literally believe that
Speaker 10: in any aspect, whether it be through food, through hydration
Speaker 10: or sports drinks, or or or alcohol, tobacco, drugs, whatever
Speaker 10: it might be, that it's this culture of they want
Speaker 10: to leach us for all the money that we can
Speaker 10: and and and what do we end up in the end?
Speaker 10: We end up these diseased animals that have arthritis and
Speaker 10: all kinds of other things. When when if we pull
Speaker 10: back our money and stop buying this crap, we're gonna
Speaker 10: end up getting better in general?
Speaker 1: Well, I guess I have to look at this in
Speaker 1: the context. I mean, you know, tobacco, alcohol, you know,
Speaker 1: drugs generally speaking, been around since the dawn of mankind,
Speaker 1: since we found it figured out how to make ourselves
Speaker 1: feel better and otherwise perhaps painful environment. But we have
Speaker 1: also transformed the nature of food, which seems to me
Speaker 1: the education element that's missing. I mean, I'm old enough
Speaker 1: to remember the four four three two diet recommendations, you know,
Speaker 1: four servings of fruits and vegetables, you know, four servings
Speaker 1: of you know, carbohydrates, or is three servings of proteins.
Speaker 1: To remember that fact in the seventies, which is when
Speaker 1: the problem started. Well that's true, but you see, even
Speaker 1: if that was an accurate approach, it didn't address what
Speaker 1: specific types of foods we are consuming with any food category.
Speaker 1: And now as you started out you point it out,
Speaker 1: everything's got freaking corn syrup in it. Everything's got all
Speaker 1: these additives and preservatives that never existed in anyone's diet
Speaker 1: before the last forty years or so. So you could
Speaker 1: follow a strict, even if accurate, regiment, but still be
Speaker 1: filling your body with a bunch of nonsensical polliticans.
Speaker 10: And also, Brian, what if your car mechanic told you
Speaker 10: you needed to get your oil changes every thousand miles,
Speaker 10: You'd be like, you just want to get my money,
Speaker 10: get an oil changes. It doesn't need to be changed
Speaker 10: that frequently. Just like eating, we don't need to eat
Speaker 10: three meals a day. There's a lot of people who
Speaker 10: don't need to eat one meal a day. Sometimes, you know,
Speaker 10: we're eating too much. And that's and they're trying to
Speaker 10: push that food because it costs money, and that's what
Speaker 10: they want.
Speaker 1: Save your money, go drink some water. Well, and the
Speaker 1: ultra processed food quite often is less money, right, That's
Speaker 1: what it's weird. It's it's a manufactured it's a massive
Speaker 1: factory in Hastings, Nebraska, like ConAgra, and they churn out
Speaker 1: these very very low cost and of course you're going
Speaker 1: to gravitate toward that when the price of natural you know,
Speaker 1: orgame anchor Fresh Foods has gone through the ceiling. I mean,
Speaker 1: just a grocery shop with my wife the other day,
Speaker 1: dozen eggs was on sale like five bucks, right, and
Speaker 1: you know, so you want to go in that direction,
Speaker 1: but it's really expensive to do that. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go get the meal deal and get my two burgers
Speaker 1: for less than five.
Speaker 10: But hopefully you end up eating less because you're actually
Speaker 10: full of nutrition and not just you know product.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, that's kind of the goal that you were
Speaker 1: speaking of earlier. If you start focusing on the good
Speaker 1: stuff your body's I guess ultimate conclusion or working with
Speaker 1: your brain is well, you really don't need it. It's
Speaker 1: to me. I kind of you food these days, and
Speaker 1: it's it's tough many times, but I've fewed in the
Speaker 1: same way I view sort of impulse purchases. Right, Just
Speaker 1: think about it for a few minutes before you go
Speaker 1: down that road. We have what I call the carb
Speaker 1: cabinet corner. And you know, when I was on this
Speaker 1: kid to die, I would walk over to that just
Speaker 1: as a matter of routine and habit, and I'd open
Speaker 1: it up and I'd stare at it. And that's where
Speaker 1: the loaf of bread was, or the bag of chips
Speaker 1: that we used to buy that we don't buy anymore,
Speaker 1: that's where it was. And I would stare at it
Speaker 1: and say, well, I can't eat any of this stuff,
Speaker 1: and I'd close the cabinet. You know, twenty five minutes later,
Speaker 1: I'd be doing the same damn thing. And it caused
Speaker 1: me to look at my life and the way I
Speaker 1: what I was doing on a daily basis, Oh, what's
Speaker 1: a few chips, Grab a couple of chips out of
Speaker 1: the bag, you know. Okay, you do that at eleven
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning, and then maybe at one o'clock
Speaker 1: your back over the cab corner or carb corner, and oh,
Speaker 1: what's a big deal. It's just a few chips. And
Speaker 1: by the end of the day you've eaten maybe a
Speaker 1: bag or a bag of chips. So I try to
Speaker 1: view every one of my food choices as make a
Speaker 1: conscious decision. Is it is good for me it? Does
Speaker 1: it have a bunch of crap in it that I
Speaker 1: don't need? Does it have any sugar in it? That's
Speaker 1: my first point of inquiry at the outset, And if
Speaker 1: it does, I tell myself just don't eat.
Speaker 10: It right, you know. I mean you have to train yourself.
Speaker 10: COVID taught me one thing. One time I had COVID
Speaker 10: and I lost a complete, you know, sensation of taste,
Speaker 10: so I couldn't taste anything. It's quite funny. My kids
Speaker 10: were putting like hot spices on my tongue. I'm like,
Speaker 10: I got nothing here, guys, what are you doing? But
Speaker 10: then I realized when I ate a piece of candy
Speaker 10: and I couldn't taste it, and I'm like, well, what's
Speaker 10: the point of eating candy if I can't taste it?
Speaker 10: Which a unique is like, I wouldn't eat candy if
Speaker 10: I couldn't taste it. So what we're trying to do
Speaker 10: is we're trying to satisfy these taste buds for what
Speaker 10: neurochemistry benefits. I'm high of it. And that really turned
Speaker 10: me on to saying, listen, we need to be eating
Speaker 10: not because of what it tastes like, but what it
Speaker 10: can do for my you know, overall wellness.
Speaker 1: Right, And there is a lot to be said for that.
Speaker 1: It's we have to change our mindset, and it is not.
Speaker 1: It's an uphill challenge me. We'll get some practical tips
Speaker 1: from the gentleman about how to do that right now
Speaker 1: six twenty sixth fify if I've curious, the talk stats
Speaker 1: can bring them back in the studio for the full
Speaker 1: hour and uh. First, Chimney Care Fireplace and stove. I
Speaker 1: have been enjoying the out of my Chimneycare Fireplace is
Speaker 1: stove a gas fireplace insert just substantial improvement over the
Speaker 1: insert we had when the house was built, which an
Speaker 1: inspection revealed was a fire hazard. Yeah, don't use That
Speaker 1: was essentially the recommendation from Jeff Keyfer, owner of the
Speaker 1: Chimneycare Fireplace and still have been around since nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 1: A plus of the BBB. An inspection can reveal really
Speaker 1: dangerous situations. Maybe you have a chimney that's clogged, Maybe
Speaker 1: you have a kreaso build up, you got a wood burner,
Speaker 1: you have to have it inspected annually, is the recommendation.
Speaker 1: One of the certified chimney sweep from Chimneycare Fireplaces still
Speaker 1: will sweep it out and clean it up and everything
Speaker 1: will be in a running order and you'll be safe.
Speaker 1: And that's what it's all about, safety before comfort. And
Speaker 1: then if you need one and have a real comfortable
Speaker 1: thing like my fireplace. Insert. They have a huge selection
Speaker 1: at the showroom located for thirteen Wards Corner Road. Mine's
Speaker 1: remote control. I'm telling you I love that thing. Just
Speaker 1: press the button, boom, I got to fire whatever size
Speaker 1: I want warm, absolutely a blower adjustment. It is nice,
Speaker 1: I have to say. But you know what, I didn't
Speaker 1: need it if it wasn't going to be a fire
Speaker 1: hazard with the old one. So make sure you're taking
Speaker 1: care of your safety with it. A full inspection. They
Speaker 1: do waterproofing, cap and damper replacement, tuck pointing, literally everything,
Speaker 1: and they'll also install maybe a free standing stove if
Speaker 1: you're looking for one of those. Those also at the showroom.

Speaker 1: Six fifty five Krcity Talks station, and a very happy
Speaker 1: Monday to you in studio Keith Tennant felt he's a
Speaker 1: nurse practitioner and a well student of a not necessarily
Speaker 1: alternative medicine, but natural modality. You've seen talking about health
Speaker 1: and wellness and our diet playing a huge role in that.
Speaker 1: George Brenneman from Restore Liberty dot Us has teamed up
Speaker 1: with Keith and they have restored Wellness dot org. It's
Speaker 1: an effort to raise awareness about what we're putting in
Speaker 1: our bodies and provide you some resources to help you
Speaker 1: make better choices. I asked you earlier. I wanted to
Speaker 1: know how you two met. I understand it had something
Speaker 1: to do with COVID.
Speaker 9: Right, So during COVID I was one of those people
Speaker 9: that was was very skeptical from the beginning the engineer
Speaker 9: I am. I downloaded all the data and my conclusion was,
Speaker 9: unless you were over the age of seventy, this is
Speaker 9: a big don't care. And then of course all of
Speaker 9: the frenzy, the lockdowns, you know, saying that a paper.
Speaker 1: Mask will stop a virus. I mean, the engineering maybe
Speaker 1: just went nuts.
Speaker 9: Absolutely, And so you know, I got COVID once or
Speaker 9: twice and it's like, what's the real treatment. And that's
Speaker 9: when the whole ivermectin approached and I heard about this
Speaker 9: guy out in Harrison that had a great way of
Speaker 9: treating COVID was having a ton of success, and that
Speaker 9: was Keith out out there doing you know, the ivermectin
Speaker 9: and the other treatments.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Success. If you mentioned ivermectin. Then that you were
Speaker 1: viewed as some sort of crackpot yep horse pill horse.
Speaker 1: And as we find out fast forward to today, it
Speaker 1: had a very legitimate basis for some practitioner as yourself
Speaker 1: or physician to recommend, but they wouldn't even allow pharmacies
Speaker 1: to fill prescriptions for ivermec.
Speaker 10: When I saw my first patient turn around with ivermec
Speaker 10: and they were definitely sick, couldn't breathe, they were sent
Speaker 10: away from an emergency room to go home and call
Speaker 10: us at their SATs were low and whatever, and we
Speaker 10: gave them ivermectin. And then two days later they called
Speaker 10: me back and said they're doing so much better. Two
Speaker 10: days later they went from from death's door to feeling
Speaker 10: great again. I said, we got to keep doing this
Speaker 10: and over and over and over, multiple patients getting better
Speaker 10: two days later, two days later, two days later, and
Speaker 10: it and people were it was a self referral at
Speaker 10: that point in time. They were coming to get their
Speaker 10: lives saved. It was I couldn not turn away from that.
Speaker 10: That was my calling at that time of my life.
Speaker 1: Was amazing well, and it was an off label use
Speaker 1: for that particular drug, and I don't care what the
Speaker 1: genesis is for it. But physicians have been doing off
Speaker 1: label use of drugs for forever. I mean, if they
Speaker 1: believe it would help you, and you have a discussion
Speaker 1: with your patient about the upside risk and the downside risk,
Speaker 1: the potentials, and you're in a desperate situation, you can
Speaker 1: barely breathe, and your physician and says, you know what,
Speaker 1: we can try this, and then they would allow it,
Speaker 1: and then you would go ahead, and Brian, you.
Speaker 10: Know what really made me wake up to this whole
Speaker 10: problem that we had with fousing all this is number one.
Speaker 10: In the beginning, all the pharmacies were given us. Ivermectin
Speaker 10: wasn't a problem. I could get ivermectin at CVS, Walgreens, Krogers,
Speaker 10: it didn't matter. And then then, Brian, what happened is
Speaker 10: that they came out with this don't take a horse
Speaker 10: medication for your COVID and then everybody started shutting it down.
Speaker 10: And then we were lucky to be able to find
Speaker 10: some really good pharmacies, mainly compounding pharmacies that were able
Speaker 10: to give us this ivermectin, and then before you know,
Speaker 10: we were able to still distribute this population but there
Speaker 10: was a scary moment there when they used that.
Speaker 1: I would call it a syop to shut it down.
Speaker 10: And the reason that they shut it down is because
Speaker 10: emergency Youth authorization for the vaccine was if there was
Speaker 10: no cheap, alternative effective medication, and that was ivermectin. So
Speaker 10: they squashed it so that they could promote this vaccine
Speaker 10: and poor use of rimsevere which caused organ failure and
Speaker 10: organ disease, not to mention them multiple intubations that were
Speaker 10: possibly unnecessary because they should have used antihistamines. Fantastic time
Speaker 10: for me for learning, but I just wish it didn't
Speaker 10: come at the cost that it.
Speaker 1: Did, no question. And it kind of reminds me of
Speaker 1: Ice two commercials for an outfit that did bioidentical hormone
Speaker 1: replacement therapy, and that's how they treat high cholesterol in
Speaker 1: Europe bioidentical. And the problem is that pharmaceutical compani would
Speaker 1: rather you be on one of their prescriptions like lipator,
Speaker 1: which have their own independent problems. I mean, I want
Speaker 1: to go down that avenue necessarily, but they try to
Speaker 1: convince physicians that hormone replacement therapy is bad. But the
Speaker 1: reason they don't like hormone and placement therapy because bioidentical
Speaker 1: can't be patented and they can't make a special pharmaceutical
Speaker 1: out of it that can be prescribed, even though it
Speaker 1: will do wonders helping lower your cholesterol as well as
Speaker 1: all the other traditional benefits of having appropriate level hormones, anyhow,
Speaker 1: will continue. It's got to take a break now. Six
Speaker 1: thirty six fifty five ks detoxication the dynamic duo of
Speaker 1: Demis Street, doctor Fred Pack and doctor Meghan Freu. Meghan
Speaker 1: is back. She was on attorney to leave there for
Speaker 1: a while. The baby's great. She is outstanding and got
Speaker 1: to se he when they had my teeth clean. It's
Speaker 1: only been a few weeks. I love going to the dentists.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people don't, and I don't
Speaker 1: know why, because I always feel just so refreshed coming
Speaker 1: out of the dentists. I know I'm in good shape,
Speaker 1: got a clean bill of health hopefully anyway. But when
Speaker 1: you've got the team of Peck and Freu working with you,
Speaker 1: you're going to be comfortable with the dentists. If you're
Speaker 1: freaked out about dentistry, they do have sedation dentistry there,
Speaker 1: but it's the most state of the art practice you
Speaker 1: are ever gonna find. The people there treat you like family,
Speaker 1: a very welcome environment. And so for those that struggle
Speaker 1: with the concept of dentistry, you got to talk to
Speaker 1: doctors Peck and Freu, especially Megan Freu. You won't talk
Speaker 1: about bedside manner, but doctor Peck, he is a genius
Speaker 1: in the field of cosmetic dentistry, one of the three
Speaker 1: fellows in the entire state of Ohio that is a
Speaker 1: certified of a fellow with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
Speaker 1: Brilliant life changing, transformative smile makeovers. Of course, doctor Frew
Speaker 1: on her way to accreditation, so you've got his years
Speaker 1: of experience with her new you know, sort of viewpoints
Speaker 1: on cosmetic dentistry. So experience of life changing him is
Speaker 1: that impact of exceptional dentistry on your smile? Call for
Speaker 1: the appointment and please tell him. Brian said, I when

Speaker 1: talk station. A very happy Monday to you talking help.
Speaker 1: It's been a real interesting conversation this morning. George Brunneman,
Speaker 1: otherwise normally talking about politics, has gotten involved with the
Speaker 1: sort of awareness movement in terms of help what we're
Speaker 1: putting in our bodies, what we should and shouldn't do.
Speaker 1: Restore wellness dot Org is the name of the website
Speaker 1: he's teamed up with nurse practitioner Keith Tennenfield, both of
Speaker 1: them in studio. All Right, we're talking a little bit
Speaker 1: about exercise and the break there, and I'll admit I
Speaker 1: remind myself being self deprecating and critical of myself, as
Speaker 1: I am always of that opening scene from Big Lebowski.
Speaker 1: You know, the dude was the laziest man in Los
Speaker 1: Angeles count That's me. I mean, I do, and I
Speaker 1: have talked about it, and I will also point out
Speaker 1: I think if you talk about pursuing a healthier lifestyle,
Speaker 1: you're sort of out loud committing to people that That's
Speaker 1: one of the reasons I've said it out loud on
Speaker 1: the Ready to Force myself to live within what I
Speaker 1: said I'm trying to do. But I'll be the first person.
Speaker 1: I'm lazy man. I don't exercise, and my wife is
Speaker 1: listening right now, going, no kidding, why don't you walk
Speaker 1: the dog? Or you know, I'm watching a movie or something.
Speaker 1: You know, where does that motivation come from? How can
Speaker 1: you tap into that when you you got to force
Speaker 1: yourself to do something that's that runs so contrary to
Speaker 1: what you really want to do, which is just be lazy. Well,
Speaker 1: one of the books out there that that's really good
Speaker 1: is called The Primal Blueprint, basically talk about how we
Speaker 1: want to get back to being cavement. And when it
Speaker 1: came to exercise, his recommendation was play. If you do
Speaker 1: nothing else, just go out and play if you if
Speaker 1: you want to go and you know, shoot hoops for
Speaker 1: five minutes and then that becomes ten, that becomes twenty,
Speaker 1: or you want to play with the grandkids, which is
Speaker 1: sort of the approach we're taking.
Speaker 9: You know, get out there and move. The first step
Speaker 9: is it doesn't have to be quote exercise, you know, dumbbells, machines, treadmills.
Speaker 1: It's got to be move.
Speaker 9: If you're just out there moving and you didn't used
Speaker 9: to move. You're going to see a benefit from that,
Speaker 9: and then that's sort of the hook to get you going.
Speaker 9: I think that's the key to all of this wellness
Speaker 9: stuff is to just get that first step. And you
Speaker 9: already said the first step. The first step is acknowledging
Speaker 9: this is something I need to do.
Speaker 1: I have a problem. It's like the first step a step,
Speaker 1: you know, Brian.
Speaker 10: I think another good thing to remind myself is is
Speaker 10: that I'm made for greatness, not comfort. And if I'm
Speaker 10: sitting around doing comfortable things, then I'm not being great
Speaker 10: And I'm want to be a great grandfather one day.
Speaker 10: So constant in my back of my mind as I'm
Speaker 10: saying to myself, how can I be greater at what
Speaker 10: I'm doing right now? Say I am watching TV, Say
Speaker 10: it's crappy outside, I can't do a damn thing. Well,
Speaker 10: I can do barbells. I can take a five or
Speaker 10: ten pound or twenty pound weight and just sit there
Speaker 10: and watch, you know, whatever I want to a while
Speaker 10: I'm doing bicep curls.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I don't know where it just went
Speaker 1: away from me, cause I was a huge practitioner yoga.
Speaker 1: I had a bulging lower lombard disc going back a
Speaker 1: long time, late thirties, and I found out through doing
Speaker 1: physical therapy to get rid of that. It was mostly
Speaker 1: just a bunch of you know, sort of modified yoga poses.
Speaker 1: Is why I started going down the yoga path. I
Speaker 1: haven't had back problems in years, and I'm still extremely flexible.
Speaker 1: But I used to get and sit down on the floor,
Speaker 1: and I used to recommend it to my listeners. Listen,
Speaker 1: if you're watching TV, just get on the floor and
Speaker 1: do some yoga while you're watching TV. You can combine
Speaker 1: that with the TV watching and you're accomplishing two things
Speaker 1: at the same time. It'll solve your bag problems. I
Speaker 1: don't know where that went, I really don't. I just
Speaker 1: it just disappeared one day and it never came back. Well,
Speaker 1: the natural effect anymore is to just gravitate to doing nothing.
Speaker 1: The older you get and so our kind of age, George,
Speaker 1: I think it is agent and it's familiarity. Right, You've
Speaker 1: been doing this for so long. Why do I got
Speaker 1: to keep doing this?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 1: And I'm happy, I'm comfortable. I don't want anything more.
Speaker 1: You know, if someone offered me, you know, five times
Speaker 1: my current sour to pick up and move to some
Speaker 1: other city. I would turn them down. I'm like, right,
Speaker 1: you know, I may just become too comfortable in my
Speaker 1: old age.
Speaker 9: But the thing that woke us up is, you know,
Speaker 9: you hear the stories, and you know I have personal
Speaker 9: friends that fell down steps and that was the end.
Speaker 1: I know of three people that died from falling down.
Speaker 9: And so Nancy and I looked at things and this like,
Speaker 9: you know, whatever happens, we're sixty five. Now, by the
Speaker 9: time we're seventy, we still want to be able to
Speaker 9: run around with the kids. Run being no I get it,
Speaker 9: but go around with the kids. We want to be
Speaker 9: able to get up off the floor. We don't want
Speaker 9: to have to worry about falling down. All of that
Speaker 9: just came back to saying, okay, we can't sit and
Speaker 9: just do nothing.
Speaker 6: We have to.
Speaker 9: And of course, you know last night, she's already yelling
Speaker 9: at me because I didn't work out yesterday.
Speaker 1: So you know it had ability. It is a team yeah,
Speaker 1: no teamwork. My wife and I shoveled the driveway together
Speaker 1: the excellent day and we have done you know, I
Speaker 1: said a lot work five times, so I did get
Speaker 1: more exercise in the last week. Speaking of exercise, you
Speaker 1: and Brian.
Speaker 10: When I have a patient comes into my place and
Speaker 10: they are exercising every day or five days a week,
Speaker 10: they are my healthiest patients.
Speaker 1: And I don't care what their age is.
Speaker 10: If they are exercising, they're sitting on that table looking
Speaker 10: amazingly healthy. So movement is key, made for greatness, not comfort.
Speaker 1: So get up and move. Start with just doing something
Speaker 1: other than sitting. Make it, pick a ball, whatever.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 1: In our generation, this this current generation that grew up
Speaker 1: in front of the video game consoles. I mean that's
Speaker 1: a real problem and I think it's going to be
Speaker 1: a pandemic, really correlation with the obesity epidemic with young
Speaker 1: people too. Six coming up with a six forty seven

Speaker 8: best practices when it comes to your life.
Speaker 1: You guys gonna be out doing some you know, training
Speaker 1: or I know that the websites up and running, So
Speaker 1: what's what's the goal next step? What are you going
Speaker 1: to be doing by way of advocacy and so.
Speaker 9: A couple of ways you're going about it. The first
Speaker 9: is podcasting. So we did the press announcement for Restore
Speaker 9: Wellness last Thursday. We're getting ready to start doing videos
Speaker 9: and podcasts. We'll probably do the meetings at the farm
Speaker 9: and you know, in cooperation with the Restore Liberty effort.
Speaker 9: The x feed is extremely frutal ground right now. So
Speaker 9: if you go to acts, look up Restore Wellness dot
Speaker 9: org or look up Restore Liberty dot us. Our stream
Speaker 9: there is constant I try to get you know, five
Speaker 9: or six things up there every day. It'll get you
Speaker 9: to the latest information from the people that are really
Speaker 9: making a difference. I usually get a bunch of the
Speaker 9: stuff that's coming out of the Make America Healthy Again
Speaker 9: out there. Go to the website, send us an email.
Speaker 9: Info at Restore Wellness dot org. Twitter's a great place. Hey,
Speaker 9: we're back on Facebook too November suddenly, surprise, surprise, Restore
Speaker 9: Liberty can can post again.
Speaker 1: So I haven't.
Speaker 9: I've spent so much time away from it since I
Speaker 9: couldn't do anything, then I'm reluctant to go back.
Speaker 1: But that's a place to go.
Speaker 9: What we're looking for is if you've got a group,
Speaker 9: even a you know, a small group of friends and neighbors,
Speaker 9: or you've got a small company that wants to learn
Speaker 9: more about this, we're open to going there, maybe filming
Speaker 9: a podcast there where we talk about a topic that
Speaker 9: you're interested in. So we're trying to grow the effort
Speaker 9: right now. We'll be talking to some of the policymakers.
Speaker 9: Certainly Warren Davidson's on board with this stuff. Good, hoping
Speaker 9: to get Bernie Marino on board as well. So we're
Speaker 9: going to go the political avenue, but we're consciously staying
Speaker 9: away from politics with this effort.
Speaker 1: Well, you know that's funny.
Speaker 9: It's not left right, it's certainly political, but it's not
Speaker 9: left right right.
Speaker 1: I even commented on that we're talking about. We were
Speaker 1: enjoying this conversation and of course for the Petubb Casey
Speaker 1: morning shows normally politically focused, and I said, well, it's
Speaker 1: really nice to get away from politics for a little while,
Speaker 1: particularly giving what's going on in the world. But this
Speaker 1: does involve I mean, as you quickly to point out,
Speaker 1: this really is in many ways very political. I mean
Speaker 1: the information we need and that we should know about,
Speaker 1: for example, like what's in our foods and what we
Speaker 1: are eating and what things like seed oils can do
Speaker 1: to us is what we all need to know about,
Speaker 1: but is being suppressed because of the powerful you know,
Speaker 1: lots and the money and influencing government.
Speaker 9: And the fact that the cigarette companies, when their profits
Speaker 9: were going down because of the Surgeon General's warning, the
Speaker 9: first thing they did is they went out and bought
Speaker 9: all the food companies. So Jay Reynolds and Philip Morris
Speaker 9: they own the food companies now. And the first thing
Speaker 9: they did is set about making them addictive, which is
Speaker 9: where high fruc dose corn syrup came from. But this
Speaker 9: is stuff that Europe doesn't allow in their foods. So like,
Speaker 9: for instance, I like a little caramel in my latte
Speaker 9: in the morning. Right, If you buy Ghia deelli caramel
Speaker 9: in the United States, it's sweetened with high fruit dose
Speaker 9: corn syrup. If you buy it in Europe, it's cane sugar.
Speaker 1: We can't get the cane suer option here.
Speaker 9: Though, because they financed the government's paying people to grow
Speaker 9: corn and giving it away.
Speaker 1: Basically, you see, my libertarian philosophy would be, you know,
Speaker 1: make your own choices. You get the education so you
Speaker 1: can make informed decisions, right, but don't tell me what
Speaker 1: I can and cannot do by way of how I
Speaker 1: manufacture my product. If you make something that is deadly
Speaker 1: or carcinogenic, we have a tort system which will allow
Speaker 1: you to recover liability for your damages. But if I
Speaker 1: got an option between the giedeli chocolate that's got corn
Speaker 1: syrup in it and the one that's made naturally with
Speaker 1: no preservatives or editives or artificial colors and flavors, I'm going.
Speaker 9: To go with the latter options absolutely, unless the government
Speaker 9: puts their thumb on the scale and says we're going
Speaker 9: to make the one cheap and the other expensive. And
Speaker 9: that's where the politics is in this now. It's putting
Speaker 9: the thumb on the scale. We got to get rid
Speaker 9: of that. That's a political effort. But for the most part,
Speaker 9: but education can overcome these challenges. And I think that's
Speaker 9: the beauty of what you fellows are trying to do
Speaker 9: here with again Restore Wellness dot org. Find them online
Speaker 9: and get an x and follow them, get the tweets,
Speaker 9: get the information that's coming out, and pay attention. It's
Speaker 9: within your power to a little a healthier life and
Speaker 9: a pain free life and one that's got fewer challenges.
Speaker 9: We just got to kind of take the bull by
Speaker 9: the horns educate ourselves into making proper choices. Thank you,
Speaker 9: gentlemen for helping us all achieve those goals and make
Speaker 9: us a better healthier society. Six fifty six stick around,
Speaker 9: We get a little talk about Christopher Smithman coming on
Speaker 9: seven to twenty with a Smither event Money Monday with
Speaker 9: Brian James adatoh five.
Speaker 1: I'll be right back.
Speaker 3: Your voice refreshing your country for reasonable American.
Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC, the Talk Station.
Speaker 4: This report is sponsored.
Speaker 1: Seven oh six at fifty five KRC, the Talk Station,
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas USh and everyone that very happy Monday, interesting
Speaker 1: conversation with those guys about health. Generally speaking, now I'll
Speaker 1: speak on my own experiences because I just kind of
Speaker 1: want to put at least a relatable face on the
Speaker 1: challenges you face when it comes to try to be
Speaker 1: motivated to do something like exercise. I get it, man,
Speaker 1: I get it. It's not easy. It really isn't. But
Speaker 1: hopefully those guys will serve to help at least educate people.
Speaker 1: And the more information we have, the better our choices
Speaker 1: can be. And that's really that's what it's all about.
Speaker 1: And when you find out your government is operating against
Speaker 1: you in many respects, as we learned more and more
Speaker 1: and more, For example, Mark Zuckerberg speaking with Joe Rogan
Speaker 1: last week. At least he's being honest now talking about
Speaker 1: how the Department of Justice was telling them what they
Speaker 1: can and cannot talk about. I mean, he said, I'm
Speaker 1: generally pro rolling out vaccines. I didn't think on balance,
Speaker 1: the vaccines are more positive than negative. I did think
Speaker 1: on balance, but I think that while we're trying to
Speaker 1: push that program, they also tried they the government Department
Speaker 1: of Justice tried to censor anyone who is basically arguing
Speaker 1: against it, and they pushed us super hard to take
Speaker 1: down things that one were true. They'll be Mark Zuckerberg,
Speaker 1: the Meta CEO, the Facebook guy. They basically pushed us
Speaker 1: and said anything that says that vaccines might have side effects,
Speaker 1: you basically need to take down. Joe Rogan following up,
Speaker 1: who is they who's telling you to take down things
Speaker 1: that talk about vaccine side effects. Zuckerberger's answer, It was
Speaker 1: people in the Biden administration, he claimed, and he said
Speaker 1: out loud, I wasn't involved in those conversations directly. These
Speaker 1: people from the Biden administration, he said, would call up
Speaker 1: our team and scream at them and curse. Adding to
Speaker 1: the Biden administration demanded this company, in his words, take
Speaker 1: down this meme of Leonard Leonardo DiCaprio looking at a
Speaker 1: TV talking about how ten years from now you're going
Speaker 1: to be seeing an ad that says if you took
Speaker 1: a COVID vaccine you're eligible for some kind of payment,
Speaker 1: this class action lawsuit type meme, and they're like, you
Speaker 1: have to take that down. Of course, that being humor
Speaker 1: and satire. You said, there were instances in which Meta
Speaker 1: refused to take down humor and satire, resulting in Joe
Speaker 1: Biden accusing Meta of in his words, killing people and
Speaker 1: speaker with Rogan he said, and then all these different
Speaker 1: agencies and branches of government basically started investigating and coming
Speaker 1: after our company. Ah, the power of government, the threat
Speaker 1: of government. Going back to Eric Holder's operation choke Point
Speaker 1: or choke holderever, it was threatening banks that were doing
Speaker 1: businesses with legitimate lawful businesses like gun manufacturers and payday lenders,
Speaker 1: threatening the banks with regulatory oversight and audits, compliance audits
Speaker 1: if they didn't fall in line and do what the
Speaker 1: Justice Department said, which was don't do business with these
Speaker 1: lawful entity or we're coming after you.
Speaker 12: Hmm.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, be a parallel with well George and keeps
Speaker 1: me talking about In the last segment, let's go to
Speaker 1: the phones. I got Todd on the line. Todd, thanks
Speaker 1: for calling this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show at
Speaker 1: Happy Monday.
Speaker 13: Good morning, Bryan. Yes, I met Teith Tenhunfeld, your previous
Speaker 13: guest two years ago when I had COVID and I
Speaker 13: was referred to him as a person who could help
Speaker 13: me with the ivermect and I got it, and like
Speaker 13: you said, I was symptoms were gone within a day
Speaker 13: or two.
Speaker 1: It's amazing, isn't it. And I'm telling you, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's still almost like an open nerve. When you mentioned
Speaker 1: the word ivermectin, we heard so many times over and
Speaker 1: over and over again, the horse pill, the horse tee warmer,
Speaker 1: and no, you can't take that, it won't do anything
Speaker 1: for you, when medical practitioners would have otherwise given it
Speaker 1: to you. And then the pressure on doctors to not
Speaker 1: provide that as an alternative out of fear they were
Speaker 1: going to lose their medical licenses exactly.
Speaker 13: And on a health related note, I also I would
Speaker 13: like to mention that some square dancing classes are starting this.
Speaker 1: Todd was at listener lunch the other day talking about
Speaker 1: the square dancing. He would love people to take up
Speaker 1: square dancing. Todd wants to have a partner to dance
Speaker 1: with the alamanna left and Alamanna rife, whatever the hell
Speaker 1: that means. But as I mentioned to Todd, and every
Speaker 1: time he brings up square dancing, and there are opportunities
Speaker 1: to square dance, I can't think of the The Bugs Bunny,
Speaker 1: one of my favorite cartoons of all tying The Bugs
Speaker 1: Bunny square dancing. So where's the class, Todd, Let let people.
Speaker 13: Know a Tuesday nights and Thursday nights. On Tuesday nights,
Speaker 13: it's at the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Love One. Okay,
Speaker 13: starts at seven point thirty.
Speaker 1: That's my neck of the woods.
Speaker 13: And it might be good to start a little early
Speaker 13: because the doors open early. Okay, But the class starts
Speaker 13: at seven thirty. And then at the on Thursdays, the
Speaker 13: class starts at six point thirty and it's at the
Speaker 13: Wyoming Civic Center at the corner of Springfield Park and Worthington.
Speaker 13: All right, and class starts at six thirty, but the
Speaker 13: door's open at six o'clock.
Speaker 1: Opportunity to mount people and shake hands and engage in
Speaker 1: some fellowship before you start square dancing. So when you're
Speaker 1: partner round and round.
Speaker 13: Takes a lot of steps and it's a fellowship and
Speaker 13: everything else.
Speaker 1: I wish you the best of luck in getting people
Speaker 1: engaged in square dancing. You won't see me at Principece.
Speaker 1: So even though it's really close to where I live,
Speaker 1: I just im that's not a road I'm going to
Speaker 1: go down. But then again, I don't like to dance anyway.
Speaker 1: Talk to my wife about that. It's a source of frustration.
Speaker 1: It has been since we well met. I've went three
Speaker 1: seven eight two three talks. Yeah. So, in addition to
Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg coming clean on well, having to cave into
Speaker 1: government pressure removing information that he even knew to be
Speaker 1: true because government said, don't spread the information much in
Speaker 1: the same way they said ivermicted wouldn't help you at all.
Speaker 1: They wanted you to get the JAB. Doctors were incentivized
Speaker 1: to give you the JAB. I guess they got paid
Speaker 1: extra money to do that. And we'll move away from
Speaker 1: perhaps alternative remedies and opportunities for you to get well.
Speaker 1: He also got rid of DEI. Mark Zuckerberg terminated to
Speaker 1: the diversity equity inclusion programs effective immediately. This was just
Speaker 1: reported a couple of days ago. Instead to build initiatives
Speaker 1: that focus on how to apply fair and consistent practices
Speaker 1: that mitigate bias for all them out of your background.
Speaker 1: Why the legal and policy landscape surrounding diversity, equity and
Speaker 1: inclusion efforts in the United States is changing, he said.
Speaker 1: He pointed out the Supreme Court made decisions signal a
Speaker 1: shift in how courts are approaching DEI The term DEI,
Speaker 1: he said, has become change in part because it's understood
Speaker 1: by some as a practice suggesting preferential treatment of some
Speaker 1: groups over others. At least that's from Janet Gale, VP
Speaker 1: of Human Resources at Meta. Therefore, Meta will no longer
Speaker 1: have a DEI team. Hmm, they say. Maxine william the
Speaker 1: company's chief diversity officer, is going to begin a new
Speaker 1: role focusing on accessibility and engagement. That from again Janelle Gale,
Speaker 1: VP of Human Resources. What is accessibility and engagement? Is
Speaker 1: that DEI with a different, different phrasing, I guess probably.
Speaker 1: Memo also announced changes to the company's hiring, development, and
Speaker 1: procurement practices, saying that they are no longer going to
Speaker 1: focus solely on sourcing business suppliers from diverse own businesses,
Speaker 1: in other words, no racial check marks. Instead, they say,
Speaker 1: in their words, their focus efforts on supporting small and
Speaker 1: medium sized businesses that provide that power much of our economy.
Speaker 1: Meta will continue seeking employees from diverse backgrounds, but will
Speaker 1: no longer be using its, in their words, diverse slate
Speaker 1: hiring approach, which is designed to ensure every pool of
Speaker 1: candidates considered for position is diversified in other words, meets
Speaker 1: specific racial or other ethnic categories. We believe there are
Speaker 1: other ways to build industry leading workforce and leverage teams
Speaker 1: made up of world class people from all types of backgrounds.
Speaker 1: The VP stated, world class people from all types of backgrounds.
Speaker 1: You know what that sounds like, merit. We are going
Speaker 1: to be hiring the best in the business. We're looking
Speaker 1: at small medium sized businesses. They're great. We're going to
Speaker 1: be hiring the best, the world class folks, regardless of
Speaker 1: their background. And isn't that what merit is all about? Merit,
Speaker 1: you want to build a best business. You want to
Speaker 1: be the best in your industry, Hire the best people.

Speaker 1: fast and pro Roofing for all your roofing needs and
Speaker 1: other exterior projects. Confidently, and I mean that with all emphasis.
Speaker 1: Confidently call them because you're gonna get honesty and roofing companies.
Speaker 1: Honesty is not a well. It is a scarce commodity.
Speaker 1: It's too easy to rip people off, and there are
Speaker 1: unscrupulous business people out in the world, and a lot
Speaker 1: of them are in the roofing industry apparently, So don't
Speaker 1: go down that road. And do you even talk to
Speaker 1: your insurance adjuster about unscrupulous businesses out there in the
Speaker 1: roofing business. I'm sure your adjuster, like mine can well
Speaker 1: regale you with stories about what they have found out
Speaker 1: to be lies, like roofing companies faking hail damage, going
Speaker 1: up there with a ballpeen hammer and then photographing the
Speaker 1: little area where they make, you know, indentations that happens.
Speaker 1: But since nineteen ninety nine, Fast and Pro Roofing is
Speaker 1: built and has dedicated itself and committed itself to being honest.
Speaker 1: So they've you get a free inspection, an honest assessment.
Speaker 1: If they give you a quote is because it's work

Speaker 1: to you. Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 3: Oh thank you, brother, I did. And it's always good
Speaker 3: to hear your voice, even even in the midst of
Speaker 3: troubling times. I sometimes wake up in the morning and
Speaker 3: turn you on and say, there's our shepherd telling the truth.
Speaker 1: Brother.
Speaker 3: We're a part of your flock out here. Brother, Oh wow,
Speaker 3: we're and we're here. We're here every morning trying to
Speaker 3: figure out what's going on in the world, and we
Speaker 3: just love your show.
Speaker 12: For it.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, very appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Have to be a part of it.
Speaker 1: Brother, I listened to you. I feel pressure.
Speaker 3: I'm not just I'm not just participating. I'm literally listening.
Speaker 1: Oh that's one of my just sort of I can't
Speaker 1: believe it when I go out into the world. And
Speaker 1: you know, it's like Brigham Acown from the Hudson Institute.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a brilliant man, and when he says
Speaker 1: he listens to the program, I mean, I'm humbled by that.
Speaker 1: I just I really truly am. And you're in that category. Two,
Speaker 1: my friend, I have the smartest listening audience out there.
Speaker 1: You guys always keeping me on my toes, and it's
Speaker 1: just a it's a beautiful thing for me to be
Speaker 1: able to connect with so many wonderful people. And I
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just so happy to have you on
Speaker 1: the show spreading the information and love to brother.
Speaker 3: Well, brother, let me just start off by saying, you
Speaker 3: and I have talked about the importance of voting, the
Speaker 3: importance that elections have consequences, and sometimes those consequences are dire,
Speaker 3: and what we see happening in California is a reflection
Speaker 3: of people voting for the wrong people, elections having consequences,
Speaker 3: and they are dire. I extend my heart out to
Speaker 3: those citizens, Americans in California who had lost everything. You know,
Speaker 3: as a financial planner, still today the majority of Americans
Speaker 3: have their wealth tied up, a lot of it in
Speaker 3: their homes, their equity, and in a state where people
Speaker 3: can't even get fire insurance, blood insurance, earthquake insurance. That
Speaker 3: there are people that are living on the edge and
Speaker 3: never believe, Bryan, that a fire would take out everything
Speaker 3: that they have owned. So if I'm the governor from
Speaker 3: Governor Newsom of California, there are a few things when
Speaker 3: I wake up that I'm going to think about. One
Speaker 3: is the possibility of an earthquake and the possibility of
Speaker 3: a fire. How in the world could you have a
Speaker 3: mayor Bath have a Governor Newsom have reservoirs that are
Speaker 3: empty and a focus on endangered fish. Where you have
Speaker 3: a community left without fire, hydrants that are not working,
Speaker 3: that have no water, and not a clear plan of
Speaker 3: evacuation of citizens who now we know twenty four are dead.
Speaker 3: You and I know they are going to be a
Speaker 3: lot more by the time.
Speaker 1: This whole thing is over, but.
Speaker 3: The shame on all of them. D in California stands
Speaker 3: for a disaster, not Democrat. Brother. I am just blown
Speaker 3: away by what is going to even occur today and
Speaker 3: tomorrow with the high winds, as if California has not
Speaker 3: had high winds before. And my last part of this
Speaker 3: event is to think about a mayor, a mayor bass
Speaker 3: who announces that we are having some type of an
Speaker 3: emergency and then flies to Africa. What sense does that
Speaker 3: make for any leader to say we're experiencing some type
Speaker 3: of an emergency and then leave town.
Speaker 1: Vice mayor is apparently suspended for I guess calling in
Speaker 1: a bomb threat, leaving I guess no one in control
Speaker 1: of the city for the time being. We'll bring Christopher back.
Speaker 1: Sounds like he's got more in his chest. I imagine
Speaker 1: he does seven twenty five if you five K City
Speaker 1: Talk station. I want to mention affordable imaging services, because
Speaker 1: imaging can be affordable if you don't go to the
Speaker 1: hospital imaging department. Check out the overhead in that place.
Speaker 1: From the moment you walk in the hospital door. Just
Speaker 1: look around you. Everything that must be paid for and
Speaker 1: run and air conditioned and heated and parking lots and
Speaker 1: massive buildings and empty hospital beds and all of it. Well,
Speaker 1: they make a lot of that profit up in the
Speaker 1: hospital imaging department, where a CT scan can set you
Speaker 1: back five thousand dollars. Hey, new calendar year, new round
Speaker 1: of out of pocket responsibility, got ninety two hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: Staring in the face, you're gonna have to go out
Speaker 1: of pocket before insurance even kicks in. What about that
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars CT scan bill you're gonna get. Oh,
Speaker 1: and add on to it a separate bill for the
Speaker 1: radiologist report, and maybe separate for the contrast, etc. How
Speaker 1: about affordable imaging services where that CT scan without a
Speaker 1: contrast is four hundred and fifty bucks CT with contrast
Speaker 1: six hundred. Yes, the overhead is extremely low at affordable
Speaker 1: imaging services. That's the point. You get the same hospital
Speaker 1: imaging equipment and they're at affordable imaging. Medical professionals have
Speaker 1: been at this for decades and they only charge you
Speaker 1: a mere fraction of the cost. I had a CT
Speaker 1: scan there done. My cancer doctor had no problem with
Speaker 1: the imaging. I of course had a problem with the
Speaker 1: what it showed, but that's what it's everybody's going to
Speaker 1: get an image like that, mri CT scan, echo cardiogram,
Speaker 1: ultrasundlung screening, your cardiac scoring. It's all available for a
Speaker 1: tiny fraction of what the hospital charges. Check it out

Speaker 1: Seven twenty nine I fifty five KRCIT talk station Ryan
Speaker 1: Thomas with former Vice Mayor of the City of Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: Christopher Smith Aman doing this Smith event. Hey, real quick
Speaker 1: here Christopher, on your rant with politicians and they're stupid mistakes.
Speaker 1: I got to read you this para two paragraphs from
Speaker 1: an article I found on Free Beacon. This problem with
Speaker 1: the forest and the tinder and the easily ignitable environment
Speaker 1: they have created has been known for a long time.
Speaker 1: This isn't like something that's snuck up on them. I mean,
Speaker 1: we all can remember multiple fires that have occurred over
Speaker 1: the past four or five years. I know one of
Speaker 1: the politicians, Miss McClintock. Tom McClintock from California pointed out
Speaker 1: and I read this fun fact this morning. A UCLA
Speaker 1: study estimated to California's twenty twenty fires released twice as
Speaker 1: much greenhouse gas into the atmosphere as had been prevented
Speaker 1: by the prior eighteen years of government and force restrictions
Speaker 1: on greenhouse gases. So what was just one calendar year
Speaker 1: and the twenty twenty fire pales in comparison to what's
Speaker 1: going on now. But let me just read this here.
Speaker 1: The state is known for years at the plotting pace
Speaker 1: of its fire prevention efforts is a problem. Early in
Speaker 1: his term, Governor Newsom launch the California Vegetation Treatment Program,
Speaker 1: which designed speed environmental reviews for forest management projects. Two
Speaker 1: years after launching the program, zero completed projects. The Free
Speaker 1: Breaking review the program's latest data found that the five
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five approved projects spanning six hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty six thousand acres, only two hundred and thirty one
Speaker 1: projects dealing with only six thousand acres have been completed.
Speaker 1: There are only two projects located in the Los Angeles
Speaker 1: metro area dealing with one hundred and thirty acres, a
Speaker 1: fuel reduction project proposed by the Los Angeles County Fire Department,
Speaker 1: both incomplete and finally, a separate interagency database created by
Speaker 1: Newsom's California Wildlife and Forest Resilience Task Force shows the
Speaker 1: state and federal agencies have completed forest management projects across
Speaker 1: only fifty four thousand, almost fifty five thousand acres in
Speaker 1: southern California between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: For contacts, the Angelus National Forest alone is more than
Speaker 1: six hundred and fifty thousand acres. They're their own worst enemy.
Speaker 1: They go into glorious detail about every time they try
Speaker 1: to do one of these projects, they get sued by
Speaker 1: environmental groups who stand in the way of forest management.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just like we need to do it
Speaker 1: on one side, and then on the other side, they
Speaker 1: got all these laws that prevent the things from moving forward.
Speaker 1: It's backcrap insane.
Speaker 3: It's just amazing, man, how policies can like these can
Speaker 3: just destroy an entire community and they matter. You know,
Speaker 3: when I hear about this endangered fish that Governor Newsom
Speaker 3: was so worried about that they put a damn in place,
Speaker 3: and we absolutely know that that has impacted the ability
Speaker 3: for those people in California to have access to water.
Speaker 3: They cared more about the fish, and I'm not talking
Speaker 3: about multiple fish, a specific type of fish. Then they
Speaker 3: did the citizens of California who are still losing everything.
Speaker 1: Brian, Yeah, well I read that that fish has not
Speaker 1: been seen by mankind for the last decade. They don't
Speaker 1: have any sign that the thing's still around. Now that's
Speaker 1: a sad thing. I'm sorry we've killed yet another species
Speaker 1: in the world. But you know, in the final analysis,
Speaker 1: they're trying to fight a battle on behalf of something
Speaker 1: that may not even exist anymore.
Speaker 3: That's it's it is amazing. I'll give a personal side note,
Speaker 3: and that is, as you know our family, we are
Speaker 3: farmers and just ironically, we did a selective clearing on
Speaker 3: that property where my son went down, worked with Forestreet
Speaker 3: and did a selective clearing on that property to make
Speaker 3: sure that in the event of fire, we're lowering the
Speaker 3: chances of burning down not only our property, but our
Speaker 3: neighbor's property. And so that's what you do. And so
Speaker 3: literally last year I was working with a forestryt consultant
Speaker 3: on our property doing that clearing, preparing the land and
Speaker 3: making sure that it is as safe as it possibly
Speaker 3: can be. So I'm just sharing with you this is
Speaker 3: not rocket science. This is failed leadership in California. And
Speaker 3: I'm telling voters over there and voters here. We just
Speaker 3: had a significant snow. Brian Thomas, I'm going to say,
Speaker 3: you know, every ten years, every fifteen years, the weather
Speaker 3: people get it, right. If you're the mayor of the city,
Speaker 3: you've got to anticipate and be prepared for that. Anybody
Speaker 3: listening to my voice and Cincinnati knows that their side
Speaker 3: streets were a disaster for the last five days, meaning
Speaker 3: we had sailed leadership here. Even in the city of Cincinnati.
Speaker 3: It's not the men and women who are out there
Speaker 3: working overtime busting their butts. It's a mayor who's not ready,
Speaker 3: a mayor who wasn't ready for that snow. Here's the
Speaker 3: bottom line. If I were the mayor and I'm watching
Speaker 3: the news and I go, man, we might get a
Speaker 3: foot of snow now for Buffalo, for Detroit, not a
Speaker 3: big deal, but for Cincinnati a big deal. So you
Speaker 3: know what you do. You'll reach out to your corporate
Speaker 3: partners and you stage them and you say, you know
Speaker 3: those trucks that you have idling right now, we'd like
Speaker 3: to hire those men and women so that they can
Speaker 3: help us clear our streets. You don't have to have
Speaker 3: all the equipment there. All you have to do is
Speaker 3: have a vision and be prepared and talk to our
Speaker 3: corporate partners so that when we have a snow like this,
Speaker 3: our high schools and grade schools don't have to be
Speaker 3: closed just because they cannot get on the side streets.
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas, that was incompetence. That just came right out
Speaker 3: of city Hall. But guess what, in November, they'll vote
Speaker 3: for the same people. So if you're voting for the
Speaker 3: same people, don't expect your side streets to ever be cleared,
Speaker 3: because elections have consequences.
Speaker 1: Let's pause right here. Will bring and Christopher back for
Speaker 1: one more. I have a feeling he's got enough in
Speaker 1: them to go on for hours this morning. Let me pause.
Speaker 1: A first mentioned Zimmer Heating and air Conditioning. They are
Speaker 1: the best at what they do. More than seventy five years,
Speaker 1: Zimmer Heating and Cool and been making sure homes are safe,
Speaker 1: efficient and comfortable. Zimmer still represents the company that invented
Speaker 1: air conditioning and they make heaters as well. That's carrier.
Speaker 1: So if you need a new heating unit air conditioning unit,

Speaker 1: And Limping Attorneys head Law seven Here about KRCD talk station.
Speaker 1: Always enjoying conversations with Christopher Smith and former vice man
Speaker 1: in the City of Cincinnati, doing the Smith event for
Speaker 1: this fine Monday morning, and Christopher, I got to imagine
Speaker 1: there's more on your mind than you already went through today.
Speaker 1: You've been punching with punching pretty hard this morning.
Speaker 3: Brother, let me tell you the hush money case, and
Speaker 3: this will be my last point dealing with President elect Trump.
Speaker 3: Where you're the lawyer, I'm not, but it looked like
Speaker 3: a bunch of nothing at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: where they call the president in and basically say no time,
Speaker 3: no penalty, no no fees, court fees, period. What we're
Speaker 3: going to say to you is god speed in your
Speaker 3: in your next term. And the point of it was
Speaker 3: when he's sworn in for the mainstream media to say
Speaker 3: that he has a felony. You and I and anybody
Speaker 3: watching this case, this is not about being for Trump
Speaker 3: or against Trump. Know that that case was nothing but
Speaker 3: nonsense and at the end of the day, will be appealed,
Speaker 3: will be overturned, and everything that this lawfare of. We
Speaker 3: had a president, meaning the outgoing president Biden, weaponizing, weaponizing
Speaker 3: the court system against his opponent, and it was just
Speaker 3: so so bad. We were operating like a third world
Speaker 3: country and so embarrassing for all of it. Said, I
Speaker 3: agree with President elect Trump when he told the judge
Speaker 3: that this is an embarrassment for New York State. It's
Speaker 3: an embarrassment for prosecutor brags, it's an embarrassment for Judge
Speaker 3: Mansion and at the end of the day, all this
Speaker 3: will be overturned. It was a bunch of nothing at
Speaker 3: the end of the day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you, but I think, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe an embarrassment if we, you know, sort of take
Speaker 1: a take an objective look at it in the context
Speaker 1: of the law and the charges that were brought against him.
Speaker 1: And you know, as far as hush money is concerned,
Speaker 1: even calling it that is ridiculous because these confidentiality agreements
Speaker 1: are entered into all the time. But it's not an
Speaker 1: embarrassment for the prosecutor there because he is surrounded by
Speaker 1: people who absolutely hate Donald Trump, and anything someone can
Speaker 1: do to impact Donald Trump for the negative is going
Speaker 1: to be embraced by the echo chamber that they live in.
Speaker 1: So he's got to live in that environment. So rather
Speaker 1: than do the right thing and not pursue spurious charges
Speaker 1: and engage in law fair he has he's surrounded by
Speaker 1: all these people who want him to literally bend over
Speaker 1: backwards to go after Donald Trump even though there's nothing there,
Speaker 1: because well that's just the way they feel. And so
Speaker 1: he's going to go back to his job if the
Speaker 1: dust settles on one and it ultimately does get overturned
Speaker 1: on appeal, which I agree that it will. But he's
Speaker 1: surrounded by these people still and they're still happy that
Speaker 1: he forced Donald Trump to jump through the hoops to
Speaker 1: ultimately get himself acquitted.
Speaker 3: Well with the sad part about it is like California.
Speaker 3: New York is under a crime wave where you had
Speaker 3: a veteran named Penny who said, man, you see something,
Speaker 3: do something. He had had fifteen years of his life,
Speaker 3: possibly meaning facing fifteen years in prison by the same prosecutor.
Speaker 3: And two weeks later, you have a twenty three year
Speaker 3: old nurse on a train who set on fire by
Speaker 3: an immigrant who's here illegally and sands the fire to
Speaker 3: give it more oxygen and burns her to death. And
Speaker 3: I'm saying here, we're watching this hush money case, which
Speaker 3: you're right, it was a journal entry, that's what they
Speaker 3: called it, and I shouldn't give them the power to
Speaker 3: call it what they were trying to brand it ass
Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, there's a crime
Speaker 3: wave in New York and elections have consequences. California is
Speaker 3: dealing with fires. New York is dealing with this crime way,
Speaker 3: and at the end of the day, I feel like
Speaker 3: those voters will continue to put the same people in.
Speaker 3: That's the shame, That's what has to happen. And I
Speaker 3: don't want that to happen in Cincinnati, where I live.
Speaker 3: I want voters to wake up and say, listen, I
Speaker 3: don't want the same thing. I don't want a flood
Speaker 3: to happen. I don't need to have a snowstore. I
Speaker 3: can see that city Council is distracted by what's happening
Speaker 3: in Israel and hamas not something that they should be
Speaker 3: debating on the floor of council. We have a pension
Speaker 3: plan our Cincinnati retirement. Since the plan is still underwater,
Speaker 3: it's no better than it was. The reality of it
Speaker 3: is we have a distracted leadership and it's not until
Speaker 3: the city is filing bankruptcy, or we have a massive
Speaker 3: flood on the Ohio River, or we have a massive
Speaker 3: snow that somebody in these fifty two neighborhoods says they
Speaker 3: want to wake up, and we've got to do better
Speaker 3: than that. Brian Thomas, let me end with this love
Speaker 3: an extension of my late wife and this is to
Speaker 3: all of those widowers and widower's out there, widows and
Speaker 3: widowers like your mom, right, so this is ours, this
Speaker 3: is what we're approaching her death date. And I just
Speaker 3: say to those, look, getting a hold of your new normal,
Speaker 3: right is normal. And so don't let anybody tell you
Speaker 3: how to grieve, don't tell anybody what your timeline is.
Speaker 3: That this is a process. And I know that there
Speaker 3: are people that are listening to us right now who
Speaker 3: don't have the support system that your mom has and
Speaker 3: that I have. They're very much alone and isolated, and
Speaker 3: I just want to let them know they are not alone,
Speaker 3: that there are lots of people out there that care
Speaker 3: about them, that are concerned about them, that will reach
Speaker 3: out and will reach back to them if they need help.
Speaker 3: So I just want to say that as I approach
Speaker 3: this for my family, and I know your mom she's
Speaker 3: going through which she's approaching it, and it's just a
Speaker 3: part of life and that and nights are bad for
Speaker 3: a lot of the people that are new into it.
Speaker 3: I'm not new into it, right. I've gotten a hold
Speaker 3: of my new normal, But there are a lot of
Speaker 3: people out there, Brian Thomas that are still struggling with it.
Speaker 1: You know, it's really interesting you brought that up, and
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you did. I mean, most notably my mom,
Speaker 1: because I just had a conversation with her the other
Speaker 1: day about exactly what you're talking about in the evening,
Speaker 1: and she was thinking about something made her think about
Speaker 1: my late father, and she experienced them obvious, you know,
Speaker 1: depression and sadness and missed him and was reflecting on
Speaker 1: him not being there. And you know, then it's been
Speaker 1: a couple of years and that is a persistent issue
Speaker 1: for those who are grieving. So it's a long process.
Speaker 1: But thank you for reminding everyone that there is support
Speaker 1: out there and that you know they're in our thoughts
Speaker 1: and prayers to the extent that helps, folks. I truly
Speaker 1: mean that, And of course you're always in my prayers
Speaker 1: and thoughts with my brother, and I enjoy having you
Speaker 1: on the program to talk about this and I and
Speaker 1: you are.
Speaker 3: You are my brother, and I think about your daughter
Speaker 3: who is about to be married, and that's going to
Speaker 3: be one of those triggers. It's going to be one
Speaker 3: of those processes because your dad isn't going to be there,
Speaker 3: and acting as if it's normal, meaning meaning you know
Speaker 3: that his chair is empty, your mom knows it. And
Speaker 3: we extend our love and support to your entire family
Speaker 3: as you march through this beautiful event for your daughter,
Speaker 3: beautiful event as you embrace your new son. But it
Speaker 3: still is a process sometimes that can be bittersweet for
Speaker 3: those who've lost someone.
Speaker 1: Love you, brother, words from a new grandfather on that note, God,
Speaker 1: love you, Christopher. Appreciate the vent man, Appreciate the positive
Speaker 1: words as well. You hang in there, we'll talk next Monday,
Speaker 1: coming up in seven fifty five krs the talk station,
Speaker 1: and take my advice. Speaking to my daughter. I've mentioned
Speaker 1: it before, I'll mention it again in the context of
Speaker 1: USA installation. That was our house warming gift to my
Speaker 1: daughter and Eric, and they experienced a outage. Yes, they
Speaker 1: ran out of propane. The heating wasn't work and I
Speaker 1: said to that USA insallation helps. You said, oh my god. Yes,
Speaker 1: they were able to manage through. I guess a week
Speaker 1: without heat before they got the propane refilled. They live
Speaker 1: in a rural area, so that's how they get their heat.
Speaker 1: But they were very appreciative of the USA insulation. We've
Speaker 1: kept there and kept their house really manageably warm enough
Speaker 1: that they could enjoy the living there without having to
Speaker 1: take refuge at our house. But that's what it's all about,
Speaker 1: comfort and energy savings. And it's only ninety nine dollars
Speaker 1: a month interest free. Take advantage of that. Why you can,
Speaker 1: because you might save that much and even more on
Speaker 1: your monthly energy bill because it is the highest our
Speaker 1: value foam in the market. We're talking about under insulated homes,
Speaker 1: Homes like my daughters with R twelve and a late
Speaker 1: seventies bill not enough, and of course it deteriorates over time,
Speaker 1: losing its insulated cability. The foam goes with the old
Speaker 1: insulation really boosting the insulated power. So that's one or
Speaker 1: older homes mid seventies before that has nothing in that
Speaker 1: exterior wall. Cabint fill it with USA's Premium phone. It
Speaker 1: will help extend the life of your HVAC unit as well,
Speaker 1: because it won't be fighting that battle uphill battle it
Speaker 1: is dealing with the outside elements. Ninety nine bucks a
Speaker 1: month interest free, you qualify for an energy tax credit
Speaker 1: if you can think about next year's taxes for this year, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you'll get an energy tax credit. So that's still in place.

Speaker 4: Fifty five KRC.
Speaker 1: The Cold Weather is stand in buck Sexton doing their
Speaker 1: homework today at noon because you got to make sense
Speaker 1: of it on fifty five KRC, The Talk station eight
Speaker 1: oh five and Happy Monday, Ka Brian Thomas. Always looking
Speaker 1: forward to this segment because you get to learn about
Speaker 1: money matters. It is time well money Monday with all
Speaker 1: their financials. Brian James. He's a certified financial planners and
Speaker 1: he's here to talk about well one thing, the jobs report.
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Brian James. Happy Monday to you, back at you,
Speaker 1: Good morning to you as well. Hope you had a
Speaker 1: good weekend. I had a great weekend, all right. So
Speaker 1: we have this job's report and it looks good two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty six thousand gains. However, it's bad cause
Speaker 1: you get good news. The employment rate is down to
Speaker 1: four point one percent, a lot of additional jobs. That
Speaker 1: all sounds like wonderful news, and yet Wall streets reaction
Speaker 1: is the stock market to tank or at least drop precipitously.
Speaker 1: How can you reconcile these Brian, Yeah, it doesn't make
Speaker 1: a lot of sense, does it. We really want jobs.
Speaker 1: We need as many people to have jobs as we
Speaker 1: can possibly get. If everybody's working, that means everybody has
Speaker 1: money to spend, and money makes the world go around.
Speaker 14: It all moves around in a virtuous circle and we
Speaker 14: all do better right well, long term, yes, but short term.
Speaker 14: Remember what we're battling right now. We've been battling interest
Speaker 14: rates for the past several years, through the whole COVID crisis.
Speaker 14: And while we're not at the over nine percent inflation
Speaker 14: situation that we were out a few summer years ago,
Speaker 14: we're not back down to where we want to be either.
Speaker 14: The Fed's goal is normally to keep inflation in the
Speaker 14: two to two and a half percent range, and we're
Speaker 14: hovering just above that, somewhere in the three percent range.
Speaker 14: And what we're making progress, but at the same time
Speaker 14: not where we need to be, and we've been here
Speaker 14: for a while, so the concern is keeping the momentum.
Speaker 14: What that means, though, is that the economy would preferably
Speaker 14: would slow down just for a little bit, so we
Speaker 14: can kind of get caught up on that, and a
Speaker 14: Job's report of two hundred and fifty six thousand new
Speaker 14: jobs created shows that that is not quite happening to
Speaker 14: the Fed's liking just yet.
Speaker 1: So obviously, if you have jobs, you have money, and
Speaker 1: therefore creates demand for goods and services, which I suppose
Speaker 1: to some degree are still in shorter supply given the
Speaker 1: ripple effect we're still experiencing from COVID and supply chain
Speaker 1: issues and things of that nature. That's correct.
Speaker 14: Yeah, so the concern all along and I don't remember
Speaker 14: the last time I heard the term a hard landing.
Speaker 14: We seem to have avoided that knock on wood, but
Speaker 14: nobody says that anymore. Right, We've been expecting this, this
Speaker 14: fall off the cliff moment where the economy absolutely collapses,
Speaker 14: but that is just not happening. As much as the
Speaker 14: talking heads seem to want that to happen, and as
Speaker 14: much a volume of discussion as there is around that
Speaker 14: that has not come to pass, and nobody uses those
Speaker 14: terms anymore. So this is evident that we are not
Speaker 14: seeing the pullback that we expected we would, and that's
Speaker 14: going to be in the short term as we're talking
Speaker 14: about that. That's a challenge from a standpoint of if
Speaker 14: the real goal is to keep inflation down, then the
Speaker 14: economy has got to step on the brakes a little
Speaker 14: bit at some point. But as long as we're out
Speaker 14: there spending money and creating economic activity and creating these
Speaker 14: new jobs, and that's not going to happen, and we'll
Speaker 14: have to continue this fight. So what's looking right now
Speaker 14: is that the Federal Reserve is not likely at this point,
Speaker 14: as we're sitting here right now with the information we have,
Speaker 14: not very likely that the Federal Reserve is going to
Speaker 14: continue cutting rates in twenty twenty five. The prevailing opinion
Speaker 14: is we're probably going to stand flat for the balance
Speaker 14: of the year unless we get new information, which we
Speaker 14: always do well.
Speaker 1: And I think, as everybody knows by now, California as
Speaker 1: a state is one of the largest economies in the
Speaker 1: globe all by itself, will the I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: to rebuild Los Angeles as much damage has been done
Speaker 1: and it's going to take a lot of work, a
Speaker 1: lot of energy, and a lot of materials and supplies
Speaker 1: that do that. Is that going to feed inflation? Do
Speaker 1: you think? What have that substantial and effect given the
Speaker 1: how sizable the damages and how much of the California
Speaker 1: economy comes from the greater Los Angeles area.
Speaker 14: Yeah, absolutely so. So the state of California is one
Speaker 14: of the largest economies on the face of the earth. Obviously,
Speaker 14: it's ranked above even many other countries, most other countries, frankly.
Speaker 14: And so when we have this big of a hit,
Speaker 14: of course it's gonna it's gonna have an impact there.
Speaker 14: There are, of course, supply chain disruptions that can happen.
Speaker 14: Los Angeles is a major port. And while you want
Speaker 14: to want to say the wildfires probably aren't gonnaffect direct
Speaker 14: to all those ships coming in at the end, any
Speaker 14: kind of chaos in an area where goods and services
Speaker 14: are supposed to be moving through is going to have
Speaker 14: an impact. And then, not to mention insurance, this is
Speaker 14: probably the big one to keep an eye on, because
Speaker 14: we all have to the whole purpose of insurance is
Speaker 14: that everybody shares the risks. You pay your premium, you're
Speaker 14: covering not only your own home, but everybody else's home
Speaker 14: and that because that's how insurance works. So this is
Speaker 14: going to have a widespreading effect over time. It's going
Speaker 14: to remain to be seen exactly what the impact will be,
Speaker 14: but there's no denying that it's going to have an
Speaker 14: impact on people who live nowhere near Los Angeles. For
Speaker 14: all these reasons.
Speaker 1: Well, and I think it's a pretty good time for
Speaker 1: people to maybe take stock in their own insurance. It's
Speaker 1: like a cautionary tale. What's happening out there could very
Speaker 1: well happen to you. And one of the interesting things
Speaker 1: that was reported, for example, the Marshall fire, which happened
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one in Denver and Boulder, Colorado, they
Speaker 1: found out a study was done after that. They found
Speaker 1: thirty six percent of homeowners homeowners who filed insurance claims
Speaker 1: learned that their policies covered less than three quarters of
Speaker 1: their home's replacement cost. So you've got a replacement cost
Speaker 1: policy and you think you're all, well, that's fine. Usually
Speaker 1: the policy will specifically identify what the cap is on
Speaker 1: the replacement cost. And I know I had my home
Speaker 1: evaluated recently because when I saw what the replacement cost
Speaker 1: was valued at on my policy, I'm like, there's no
Speaker 1: way in hell this could replace my house. We've been
Speaker 1: here for twenty five plus years, we have made a
Speaker 1: lot of investments into it on the interior space, and
Speaker 1: nobody knows about this, most notably my insurance company. So
Speaker 1: if it all burned to the ground, how on the
Speaker 1: hell would I prove what the real replacement cost is
Speaker 1: and would it be subject to some kind of cap anyway?
Speaker 14: Right, you've identified a pretty specific risk that affects anybody
Speaker 14: who has a home. You need to understand where you're exposed.
Speaker 14: And so when you use the term replacement cost, what
Speaker 14: you're talking about is the fact that you could find
Speaker 14: a home that is very similar to yours on the
Speaker 14: market right now, and perhaps you could buy that as
Speaker 14: your replacement. But the replacement cost is actually the sum
Speaker 14: total of the two by fours dry wall, the insulation,
Speaker 14: and all the other stuff that make up your house.
Speaker 14: That's a lot more than buying a similar house elsewhere.
Speaker 14: So your insurance, yeah, your insurance needs to cover that
Speaker 14: replacement cost, not just another the value of a similar home.
Speaker 1: Well, and I suppose it's a cautionary tail. And again
Speaker 1: for people to identify all of the things they own
Speaker 1: in their home, maybe can take some sort of video
Speaker 1: of it and keep that in a fire safe or
Speaker 1: in a safe deposit box or something, because in the
Speaker 1: aftermath of a major disaster like this, the likelihood you're
Speaker 1: going to remember everything that was in the house is
Speaker 1: slim to none. And the fact that you're going to
Speaker 1: have to demonstrate to your insurance company the improvements that
Speaker 1: you made that went up and smoke.
Speaker 14: Yes, And remember it's not going to be very right.
Speaker 14: Right now, we're still fighting fires. But what's going to
Speaker 14: come very shortly is the scammers out of the woodwork, oh,
Speaker 14: making claims of things that didn't happen, or offering to
Speaker 14: help people that they actually aren't going to deliver on
Speaker 14: any of those kinds of things. All of that is
Speaker 14: going to drive the cost of insurance up as well.
Speaker 1: True that, and also I can use that as a
Speaker 1: little springboard to remind people of something that I read
Speaker 1: this morning, and it's a terrible thing to happen. But
Speaker 1: since you brought up scammers, they are targeting people who
Speaker 1: want to help out the victims of these wildfires, and
Speaker 1: there are always scammers out there. It's really prudent of
Speaker 1: you to be very, very very cautious about who you're
Speaker 1: writing a check to in terms of providing some aid.
Speaker 1: There are people that get on the phone and call
Speaker 1: and ask you this solicit. It sounds like a legitimate group,
Speaker 1: but they're not. So be if you're choosing a charitable contribution,
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to try to steer anybody away
Speaker 1: from helping their fellow Americans in times of need. But
Speaker 1: just make sure you're not dealing with a scam organization.
Speaker 1: Go with someone like you know, Matthew. Twenty five Ministries
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite to mention because they are
Speaker 1: legitimate and every dollar you give to them is going
Speaker 1: to land in the hands of someone out there who
Speaker 1: needs it. People have forgot about North Carolina too by now,
Speaker 1: Brian James. Yeah, yeah, we do have.
Speaker 14: Short attention spans for our natural disasters anymore. But I
Speaker 14: know you raise a great point in one of those things.
Speaker 14: If you are contacted by somebody who is raising funds
Speaker 14: on behalf of these people who have suffered this misfortune,
Speaker 14: then what the best thing to do really is take
Speaker 14: the information from that organization, then go research it on
Speaker 14: your own. If when you ask for the website or
Speaker 14: some other outside resource, a legitimate organization will be ecstatic
Speaker 14: to give to you over the phone. Somebody who is
Speaker 14: not legit is going to insist that you need to
Speaker 14: give them money right then and there at that moment,
Speaker 14: and not let you.
Speaker 1: Go to that outside resource.
Speaker 14: So be careful who you're listening to.
Speaker 1: Amen to that. We're going to continue with all our
Speaker 1: financials Brian James and find out the details on apparently
Speaker 1: something that's very popular, but is it the right thing
Speaker 1: for you?
Speaker 3: What is this?
Speaker 1: What are these things called TDT date funds? Target date
Speaker 1: fund target date funds.
Speaker 14: These are funds that are supposed to be set and forget.
Speaker 1: Let's learn together, because I'm not familiar with target date funds,
Speaker 1: and I always like to point out there's not a
Speaker 1: day that goes by in the morning show where I
Speaker 1: don't learn something. Today, I'm going to learn something from
Speaker 1: Brian James, which is something that usually happens. Come up
Speaker 1: an eight fifteen fifty five k C the talk station,
Speaker 1: don't go away, We right back fifty five Entrust Brian
Speaker 1: James doing that money Monday thing. Hey, Brian, before we
Speaker 1: get onto target date funds, what are they and whether
Speaker 1: we should be in or not? On interest rates, we
Speaker 1: talked about the idea of this in the current inflation
Speaker 1: rate that the Stellar Jobs Report, which means a lot
Speaker 1: of people are more people are employed, obviously potentially fueling
Speaker 1: the inflationary concerns. You mentioned that the Feds probably no
Speaker 1: longer likely to cut interest rates, but I saw this,
Speaker 1: Matt Rowe, portfolio manager over at Norma Capital Management, this
Speaker 1: article you pointed you forwarded along saying that they may
Speaker 1: even raise rates.
Speaker 14: Now, yeah, that's highly possible because again, remember it's all
Speaker 14: about inflation. We want to get inflation under control. And
Speaker 14: for the last couple of years we've been on a
Speaker 14: pace of having stopped it and then driven it down
Speaker 14: all the way down from that nine percent range. But
Speaker 14: now that we've kind of plateaued, there's a chance that
Speaker 14: it could turn around and go the other way. So yeah,
Speaker 14: I mean, I think that's a fairly obvious conclusion for
Speaker 14: this gentleman to come to, just to say that if
Speaker 14: things start to if we see start see prices go
Speaker 14: up again, then we may be raising rates. Now, what
Speaker 14: we haven't talked about yet this morning, Brian, is the
Speaker 14: incoming administration and what their thoughts are. It's one thing
Speaker 14: to want to increase the position of the United States
Speaker 14: with regard to its trading partners with tariffs, but we
Speaker 14: can't pretend that that's going to happen in a vacuum.
Speaker 14: Tariffs are the purposeful raising of prices on somebody. The
Speaker 14: goal is, or at least on paper, we would want
Speaker 14: to raise prices on people who want to export their goods,
Speaker 14: on countries who want to export their goods to our country.
Speaker 14: But what that is always going to lead to is
Speaker 14: increase prices because they're simply going to recover those from
Speaker 14: the consumers. If you are a producer, you have that control.
Speaker 14: If you are a consumer, then you eat it. So
Speaker 14: I think there's a there's a bigger and bigger drum
Speaker 14: beat for the fact that interest rates are not only
Speaker 14: going to at best stay flat, like you just said,
Speaker 14: it could also increase. Remains to be seen.
Speaker 1: Well in some people view that as a political measure,
Speaker 1: and I know it was observed in these comments from
Speaker 1: Matt Rowe that well, the political will of the Trump
Speaker 1: administration will certainly be to keep rates down and be
Speaker 1: upset if they get raised. But that reminds me of
Speaker 1: of the argument that I believe was Jimmy Carter had
Speaker 1: with wasn't it Alan green Span at the time. He
Speaker 1: begged and begged and begged and pleaded to lower the
Speaker 1: interest rates because they were so onerous, but with the
Speaker 1: stagflation that was going on, it was like, no, we
Speaker 1: have to do this in order to bring to write
Speaker 1: the condition. So Jerome Powell may raise rates, but it
Speaker 1: probably won't be a politically motivated I guess is the
Speaker 1: conclusion we must draw.
Speaker 14: Right, So, Jerome Powell, as the Fed Chair is not
Speaker 14: subject completely to the whims of the president. He's not
Speaker 14: a cabinet member. So if the President wants to get
Speaker 14: rid of the Federal Reserve Chair, he has to prove
Speaker 14: legal cause. There has to actually be something other than
Speaker 14: I don't like you. So he doesn't have to be
Speaker 14: as Jerome does not have to be as politically sensitive
Speaker 14: as many other cabinet members do as a decision maker.
Speaker 1: Let's move over and together learn maybe you will for
Speaker 1: the first time. I know I am. Target date funds.
Speaker 1: What's the story on these? They apparently are quite popular
Speaker 1: for four to one k's.
Speaker 14: Yeah, target date funds the Kellogg's Variety pack of investments.
Speaker 14: So the purpose of a target date fund is one
Speaker 14: fund that owns a bunch of other things, and the
Speaker 14: intent is kind of a one stop shop for a
Speaker 14: properly allocated portfolio according to what your retirement date might be.
Speaker 14: So these frequently appear more and more. They're appearing in
Speaker 14: four oh one k's and it's believed that they're going
Speaker 14: to capture about two thirds of all four to oh
Speaker 14: one K contributions by twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1: And so they're already in there.
Speaker 14: You probably have them in your four oh one K
Speaker 14: or four or three B or whatever your employer offers
Speaker 14: as your retirement plan. And the goal here again is
Speaker 14: to most of them have a number in the in
Speaker 14: the name of the fund, So twenty forty five, twenty
Speaker 14: thirty five, twenty fifty, whatever that may be. What that
Speaker 14: number is intended to be is approximately the year you
Speaker 14: might retire. So the intent is that it will build
Speaker 14: a portfolio with one, one single option. You don't have
Speaker 14: to choose anything. It's just going to build a portfolio
Speaker 14: that is targeted toward that date, and then as time
Speaker 14: goes by, the portfolio itself will become more conservative. So,
Speaker 14: for example, a twenty fifty fund is probably you know,
Speaker 14: that's somebody who's gonna be working for another twenty five years.
Speaker 14: That's a long term timeframe. That's going to be mostly
Speaker 14: stocks ten years from now or fifteen years from now.
Speaker 14: In twenty forty, it's probably going to be about a
Speaker 14: seventy percent stock thirty percent bond type of a portfolio.
Speaker 14: That's generally how they work. It's a set it and
Speaker 14: forget it approach.
Speaker 1: So these are good tools.
Speaker 14: I'm not somebody who believes that that all target date
Speaker 14: funds are bad. That's what if you read the headlines,
Speaker 14: that's kind of what can come across. But it's not
Speaker 14: something that you can completely just solely rely on. You
Speaker 14: have to pay attention to the same things you would
Speaker 14: any other investment. First and foremost, what's under the hood.
Speaker 14: Just because it has a number in the in the
Speaker 14: name of the fund doesn't mean that it's a portfolio
Speaker 14: you necessarily that.
Speaker 1: Applies to you.
Speaker 14: So a a fund with a twenty year time frame
Speaker 14: can be anywhere from eighty percent stocks to one hundred
Speaker 14: percent stocks. It's just the opinion of the fund firm underneath,
Speaker 14: So you still got to look under the hood to
Speaker 14: see what it's invested in.
Speaker 1: But they are actively managed in the sense that you're
Speaker 1: just not They're not just compiled of one set group
Speaker 1: for all time of stocks, because I mean the point
Speaker 1: that you made that there's some gets moved over to
Speaker 1: bonds over time suggests that there is some active management.
Speaker 1: Are they constantly shifting and changing what these specific stocks
Speaker 1: are that are invested in this this type of target
Speaker 1: fund and date fund?
Speaker 14: Great question. So the answer is somewhere in the middle.
Speaker 14: So they're essentially active management of passive indexes. So in
Speaker 14: other words, the S and P five hundred, which we
Speaker 14: all know is the basically the five hundred largest United
Speaker 14: States based publicly traded companies, that's going to make up
Speaker 14: a good core of all these funds. So they're not
Speaker 14: really target date funds are not deciding they're going to
Speaker 14: sell PNG and buy more Apple or anything like that.
Speaker 14: They're simply following the index. But there will be ten, fifteen,
Speaker 14: twenty different indices inside this fund. So the active management occurs.
Speaker 14: And how much are we going to expose to stocks
Speaker 14: big stocks, little stock, small stocks, and how much are
Speaker 14: we going to expose to bonds. It's not at the
Speaker 14: individual security level of the individual bond or the stock.
Speaker 14: It's really at the index level to control the risk
Speaker 14: and the volatility of the portfolio.
Speaker 1: Well, and I would argue because my financial planners have
Speaker 1: been over my selections. We have a variety of different
Speaker 1: funds we can invest in here through my four oh
Speaker 1: one K at iHeart, my financial planner has looked at
Speaker 1: what I am invested in and occasionally will make recommendations
Speaker 1: about you should change the percentage allocation, because you know,
Speaker 1: there's international investments, there's currency investments, there's all kinds of
Speaker 1: different options for you. But since this is out of
Speaker 1: my element and I wouldn't profess for a minute to
Speaker 1: know anything about investing, I let you know, my financial
Speaker 1: planner make the recommendations for me. I suppose anybody who
Speaker 1: has a four oh one K plan should still probably
Speaker 1: have a financial planner to help them make sure that
Speaker 1: they're selecting the right funds.
Speaker 14: Yes, absolutely, because you need somebody in arms length away
Speaker 14: who is going to frankly protect you from yourself.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 14: Unless you do this all day, every day, you'll be
Speaker 14: tempted to react to whatever has happened over the last
Speaker 14: couple of weeks and months. And that's never the way
Speaker 14: to manage a portfolio, because we need to be targeting
Speaker 14: the different piles of money we have for specific goals,
Speaker 14: whether that's a goal thirty years from now means you
Speaker 14: can be aggressive, or if it's a goal in the
Speaker 14: next year, going to buy a house or you got
Speaker 14: a kid going to college or something like that, each
Speaker 14: of those goals is going to have a unique solution
Speaker 14: that's going to be best for that situation, and a
Speaker 14: financial planner can help you prioritize which ones are non negotiable,
Speaker 14: which ones can you fudge on if you can't afford
Speaker 14: to do them all at once, how do you organize
Speaker 14: it all?
Speaker 1: Pheebase is the way to go because that means of
Speaker 1: a fiduciary obligation to you, and that's really important as well.
Speaker 1: Brian James, always a pleasure having you on for the

Speaker 1: Hey thirty fifty five krsite talk station, Ryan Thoms Fishing, Neverready,
Speaker 1: a Happy Monday, and welcoming back to the fifty five
Speaker 1: Case Morning Show. Author of Burn Back Better Lahina, A
Speaker 1: Perfect Storm or Perfect Crime in the follow up books,
Speaker 1: she was on recently to talk about Sound the Alarm,
Speaker 1: the Malley disaster that sparked a global awakening. Stephanie Perucci,
Speaker 1: welcome back to the fifty five KRS Morning Show.
Speaker 12: Thank you so much for having me back. And have
Speaker 12: you fortunate circumstances.
Speaker 1: Well clearly, And you know what I had you in mind.
Speaker 1: Right after these fires started. I said, it's just going
Speaker 1: to be a moment's time when people like Stephanie Perucci
Speaker 1: and others are going to be saying these these these
Speaker 1: these the Lahina fire and these fires that are raging
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles striking similarities. It's almost as if a
Speaker 1: willful negligence. I kind of look at and think about
Speaker 1: the Secret Service and all the failures of the Secret
Speaker 1: Service which allowed of guy to squeeze off around and
Speaker 1: almost killed Donald Trump, and you find out about how
Speaker 1: wax they were across the board. It's almost as if
Speaker 1: they wanted it to happen. Well, you can't deny that
Speaker 1: this gross incompetence out in Los Angeles obviously exacerbated beyond
Speaker 1: anybody's wildest imagination, the extended damage that was caused. The policies.
Speaker 1: They mean, they knew that the that the reservoir was empty,
Speaker 1: they knew there was no water pressure. They had cut
Speaker 1: fire budgets, I mean knew some cut the fire budgets
Speaker 1: by one hundred million dollars months before the California fire started.
Speaker 1: The La Mayor was in Africa or something. Everyone seems
Speaker 1: to be asleep at the wheel and lo and behold
Speaker 1: after warning after warning after warning, after having all kinds
Speaker 1: of fire projects in the books that they knew they
Speaker 1: had to do. As it turns out, there's so much
Speaker 1: environmentalleet litigation. Every time they tried to do one of
Speaker 1: these fire protection or prevention programs, well litigation ensusan they're
Speaker 1: held up. It's as if they can get nothing accomplished.
Speaker 1: To what end do you find a nefarious purpose behind
Speaker 1: all of this? WILF was seemingly wilful negligence.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's unbelievable. I mean, the waterways were restricted to
Speaker 12: protect smelt. As you said, they're laying off firefighters, they're
Speaker 12: cutting the budget, and the people were voting on more
Speaker 12: fire mitigation activities, they were voting for more accessible water.
Speaker 12: And LA and Southern California failed their voters because they
Speaker 12: kept taking the can on these things that could have
Speaker 12: helped prevent the fires. And we saw the same thing
Speaker 12: happen in Hawaii where there was something simple such as
Speaker 12: unmitigated brush along the high ways and up on the hills,
Speaker 12: which then the wind carried down that eventually incinerated Lahina.
Speaker 12: Simple things like this absolutely have to be paid attention to,
Speaker 12: and when they're not, it's it's disasterused well.
Speaker 1: And I know that the conclusions you reached and sound
Speaker 1: the alarm along with your co offers. I mean you
Speaker 1: referred to it as a crime, uh, and that the
Speaker 1: the there were there were reasons why Leahina burned. Did
Speaker 1: they allow this brush to accumulate and did you conclude
Speaker 1: or has it ever been concluded how that particular fire started,
Speaker 1: because it serves as a convenient springboard even if it
Speaker 1: was a truly a national a natural disaster, and even
Speaker 1: if the failures of government and Lord knows, we're all
Speaker 1: used to being failed by our government led to the
Speaker 1: brush being laid around they have have they used that
Speaker 1: as an opportunity to bring about a change they couldn't
Speaker 1: accomplish otherwise absent this complete devastation and might that happen
Speaker 1: in law Los Angeles? In other words, these you know,
Speaker 1: drivable communities or walking communities, This whole global warming push
Speaker 1: for us to all live in tiny houses and commute
Speaker 1: by you know, electric bike or ev or something.
Speaker 12: Yeah, what you'll see right now in Mahina is people are.
Speaker 1: Not building back.
Speaker 12: There's you know, a couple homes going up. They've put
Speaker 12: so many restrictions in Mahina with regards to the utilities
Speaker 12: underground and easements and different things like that, that it's
Speaker 12: going to be virtually impossible for anyone to build back
Speaker 12: even fifty percent of the home space that they had.
Speaker 12: And these these were not largely sprawling homes. Some of
Speaker 12: these eighty six percent of what burned in Mahina was
Speaker 12: working class. But what they did build was what you
Speaker 12: might call one of these I don't know, prison camp,
Speaker 12: smart city type things, way upon a hill, not on
Speaker 12: the beach. And I have been exploring these tiny homes,
Speaker 12: and I mean it's essentially a prison cells with so
Speaker 12: much surveillance, you cannot do anything without being viewed by
Speaker 12: some camera that's in some corner. And what I anticipate
Speaker 12: is that something similar is going to happen in California, where,
Speaker 12: of course there was already plans for smart cities. They
Speaker 12: had a really comprehensive Smart LA twenty twenty eight plan,
Speaker 12: ironically the same year that they are going to host
Speaker 12: the Olympics. In terms of did I ever come up
Speaker 12: with some sort of culprit, yeah, I think that there
Speaker 12: was weather engineering. We know there was weather engineering in
Speaker 12: southern California because we have people who documented they had
Speaker 12: not seen a sunny day without cloud seating and stratospheric
Speaker 12: aerosol injection is the term that Dane Weggington prefers to use,
Speaker 12: probably since December November, so there was definitely some manipulation
Speaker 12: of the weather. We think similar to Lehina, we know
Speaker 12: there was arson. We believe there were at least three
Speaker 12: arson points in Mahina as well, and we know people
Speaker 12: have been arrested in California for arson. And then finally
Speaker 12: it's hard not to wonder if there was some sort
Speaker 12: of energy weapon. It's all speculation. But when you see
Speaker 12: things burning inside out, things burning at extremely high temperatures,
Speaker 12: you have to wonder, well, we've got myriad of patents
Speaker 12: for these energy weapons. Are we using them so that
Speaker 12: we can go in there and buy up this property cheap?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Well, I am jaded and cynical when it comes to
Speaker 1: the idea that we can actually manipulate the weather. Just
Speaker 1: I've never really caught into that sort of conclusion. But
Speaker 1: be that as it may, we do have clear failures
Speaker 1: here across the border around Los Angeles. And the other
Speaker 1: thing is I wanted you to address Gavin and Newsom
Speaker 1: has signed an executive order the other day. When a pause,
Speaker 1: we'll bring you back Stephanie Perucci again, author of Sound
Speaker 1: the Alarm as well as Burn Back Better. A couple
Speaker 1: more questions on that to see if maybe there's something
Speaker 1: different going on in LA than Leahina. Pause. It's eight
Speaker 1: thirty seven right now. We'll bring it back. Fifty five
Speaker 1: KRC the talk station.
Speaker 5: This is fifty five KARC, an iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 1: Not thinking about rich My author friend, Stephanie per Richie
Speaker 1: can get her books online, Burned Back Better, and which
Speaker 1: is Leahina the perfect storm or perfect Christ a perfect crime,
Speaker 1: and then followed up by sound the alarm, the malle
Speaker 1: disaster that'sparked a global awakening concerns that you know, maybe
Speaker 1: this is all in part of some intentional effort to
Speaker 1: take away private property and create these new live communities,
Speaker 1: all in the name of global warming. And Stepanie I
Speaker 1: just wanted to point out it was a point. It
Speaker 1: was noted by an op ed piece by Representative Tom McClintock,
Speaker 1: who's elected official in California that according to a UCLA study,
Speaker 1: so not exactly a bastion of conservative thought there, but
Speaker 1: at UCLA study estimated that California is twenty twenty fires,
Speaker 1: and they've had quite a few big fires over the
Speaker 1: past four or five years. But the twenty twenty fires
Speaker 1: alone released twice as much greenhouse gas into the atmosphere
Speaker 1: has been prevented by the prior eighteen years of primarily
Speaker 1: government and forced restrictions. So we're all spinning our wheels
Speaker 1: here as China belches out more carbon than we capture
Speaker 1: every single day. Well, the fires in negate all of
Speaker 1: our efforts on top of it. So the idea of
Speaker 1: building these communities in the name of saving the planet
Speaker 1: is a nonsensus, nonsensical suggestion as well. Be that as
Speaker 1: it may. One of the things Gavin Newsom did do,
Speaker 1: and I think it was an appropriate thing to do.
Speaker 1: He signed an executive order suspending regulations that currently make
Speaker 1: California the most difficult place to build anything, notably the
Speaker 1: California Environmental Quality Act, which throws massive hurdles regarding any
Speaker 1: kind of building from the smallest to the largest. You
Speaker 1: have to do environmental studies on the project's potential impact
Speaker 1: from everything from local wildlife to noise, views, and traffic.
Speaker 1: So he suspended that, and he also suspended the other
Speaker 1: onerous act, the California State Coastal Act. So rolling back
Speaker 1: environmental regulations that would subject rebuilding to layers of time
Speaker 1: consuming bureaucracy was his stated goal in mixing these regulations
Speaker 1: to rebuild Los Angeles. So that's a positive sign, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Or perhaps it just sounds good on the surface that
Speaker 1: they'll still have onerous rebuilding rules that'll go along with
Speaker 1: anything that's rebuilt.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, there was not only the smart LA
Speaker 12: twenty twenty eight, but that LA twenty eight Division all included.
Speaker 12: It was hacks with this sustainable development type language. And
Speaker 12: part of the reason that there was this plan to build,
Speaker 12: of course, mind you, in areas where they're where they
Speaker 12: were already cramming people into extremely extensive housing. There there
Speaker 12: was this issue of well, we need to have places
Speaker 12: for athletes, we need to maximize our existing sports infrastructure sustainably,
Speaker 12: we need to you know, to deliver these uh you know,
Speaker 12: carbon neutral, low carbon footprint type facilities. And one of
Speaker 12: the maps for the twenty twenty eight Olympics includes the
Speaker 12: Palisades the Pacific.
Speaker 1: Yeah, from this, I've never you know, I never witnessed
Speaker 1: or viewed or even took any interest in knowing where
Speaker 1: Pacific Policades was or how the living conditions were. But
Speaker 1: judging from the before and after pictures I've seen, I
Speaker 1: don't think there was any place left to build in
Speaker 1: that area. So how would you deal with multi million
Speaker 1: dollar homes as small as they may be. I think
Speaker 1: the average is three and a half million in that area.
Speaker 1: How could you change the environment and make it one
Speaker 1: of these living communities when all the land has already
Speaker 1: been built on question mark.
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's a huge problem. I mean, I live in Aspen, Colorado.
Speaker 12: We're surrounded by mountains on every side. There is nowhere
Speaker 12: else to build, so at the property prices keep going up. Inact,
Speaker 12: a little town of Carbondale, Colorado, which was like Leahina,
Speaker 12: very working class, sort of middle of the Espen Valley,
Speaker 12: has had the largest property price increases in the last
Speaker 12: ten years in the entire country. So I know that
Speaker 12: a place like Palisade, which is also restricted by certain
Speaker 12: land and water limitations, there's no When there's no where
Speaker 12: else to build, there's nowhere else to build, you're going
Speaker 12: to have to eliminate something and build up, you know, high,
Speaker 12: like a skyscraper or something like that. And so these
Speaker 12: are all some of the things we saw with Leahina
Speaker 12: as well. They were packing all these different people in
Speaker 12: tourism and gambling and casino development and hotel development on
Speaker 12: some of the more important decision making bodies and boards
Speaker 12: and legislative bodies in Hawaii on Maui, and they didn't
Speaker 12: want to keep these sacred old family homes. They wanted
Speaker 12: to build these Las Vegas Disney World type structures. It's
Speaker 12: really curious what were their plans, What did they think
Speaker 12: they were going to do bringing Disney in to these
Speaker 12: boards where there was nowhere else to build. You're going
Speaker 12: to hit an ocean on one side, or you're going
Speaker 12: to hit a mountain on.
Speaker 3: The other side.
Speaker 12: So that is why we were asking the question, what
Speaker 12: were they thinking? Where did they think they were going
Speaker 12: to build legitimately? And there were working class people, not
Speaker 12: in Lahaina, not in Palisades. They weren't working class by
Speaker 12: any means, but they.
Speaker 7: Were in the way.
Speaker 1: Well, working class folks can get in the way, and
Speaker 1: so can multimillion dollar homes and more expensive land when
Speaker 1: there's no more land and it's the best place because
Speaker 1: the view or the location. That's when prices go up.
Speaker 1: And of course there's nothing you can do about it
Speaker 1: absent a massive natural disaster like we're witnessing going on
Speaker 1: right now in Los Angeles, surrounded by all kinds of massive,
Speaker 1: gross negligence, what I'm going to call wilful negligence. It's
Speaker 1: fascinating stuff. I really appreciate you writing about it in
Speaker 1: your books might encourage my listeners to get a copy
Speaker 1: of them. And I will let you know. Maureen wanted
Speaker 1: me to tell you specifically. She's one of my listeners
Speaker 1: after our last conversation, she bought both of your books,
Speaker 1: and she said, I literally could not put them down,
Speaker 1: and I've recommended them to many of my friends. So
Speaker 1: you least sold a few books last time you're on
Speaker 1: the morning show, and I'll encourage my listeners to check
Speaker 1: out what you're writing. Stephanie Perucci, it's been a real
Speaker 1: pleasure talking with you. If you uncover anything else, you know,
Speaker 1: you've got a vehicle here on the fifty five KRC
Speaker 1: Morning should to get the word out.
Speaker 12: I appreciate it so much. Thanks for having me back.
Speaker 1: It's been my pleasure. Eight forty seven fifty five KRC,
Speaker 1: The Talk Station. Don't go away, folks, got a few
Speaker 1: more minutes to cover some stuff. I'll be right back.
