Speaker 1: Empty shelves for lease signs and layoffs, student loans are due,
Speaker 1: and is there going to be a housing market correction?
Speaker 1: And we'll go over with those topics with Brian James
Speaker 1: and get his reaction to the news this morning involving
Speaker 1: the tariffs on China and Chinese tariffs on US. Empower
Speaker 1: You summitor doctor Robert Malone, injuries from the COVID vaccine
Speaker 1: continuing kind of a theme we've got going here on
Speaker 1: the fifty five care See morning show. This is the
Speaker 1: final empower You for the spring. So I just you know,
Speaker 1: props again to Dan Raganolld, the founder of empower You
Speaker 1: and what just really great topics there have been all
Speaker 1: over the place in terms of subject matter, but very
Speaker 1: interesting education opportunities and not a penny out of your pocket.
Speaker 1: So question which injuries did COVID mRNA vaccines cause? So
Speaker 1: looking forward to having doctor Robert Malone on the program
Speaker 1: at eight forty. Always enjoy hearing from you. Five one, three, seven, four, nine,
Speaker 1: fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk
Speaker 1: pound five fifty on eight T and ufhones And for
Speaker 1: all the gloom and doom sayers, the world's coming to
Speaker 1: an end because of our tariffs. It's like US and
Speaker 1: China have agreed to substantial tariff cuts just announced this morning.
Speaker 1: Details were unfolding over the weekend. Donald Trump came out
Speaker 1: on Saturday expressing some optimism about the direction of the
Speaker 1: talks and looks like they've borne fruit and you better
Speaker 1: be invested. I hope you're invested in the markets this
Speaker 1: morning because the nasdak s and P five hundred down
Speaker 1: industrials all trending way up. At the specifics on that
Speaker 1: in a second, but said this to released this. This
Speaker 1: story broke this morning. They've agreed to suspend most tariffs
Speaker 1: US and China on each other's goods, pending further negotiations.
Speaker 1: There's a qualification built into this. Trump's reciprocal tariffs on
Speaker 1: China down to ten percent from one hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: five percent. So the ten percents in place for every country,
Speaker 1: even if you've negotiated a settlement of resolution to the
Speaker 1: trade of the tariff dispute, because the administration's currently engage
Speaker 1: in conversations with one hundred and seventy countries. Of course,
Speaker 1: Great Britain the other day announced it an agreement with
Speaker 1: to reduce tariffs and allow more open, freer markets, something
Speaker 1: Trump promised that would come about from the tariffs. So
Speaker 1: down to ten percent separate twenty percent tariff the President
Speaker 1: I posed over what he described as China's role in
Speaker 1: the fentanyl trade, is going to stay in place. Beijing
Speaker 1: cutting its retaliatory levies on US goods to ten percent
Speaker 1: from one hundred and twenty five percent.
Speaker 2: So back just.
Speaker 1: So, what else do we have going on here? These reductions,
Speaker 1: they're not permanent. They're going to stay in place for
Speaker 1: apparently ninety days, while China and the United States continued talks,
Speaker 1: talks led by Treasury Secretary of Scott Descent and US
Speaker 1: Trade Representative jameson Greer on the US side, of course,
Speaker 1: Vice Premier he Lifing is there on behalf of China,
Speaker 1: And of course this is good news from a market standpoint.
Speaker 1: I know the market's been reeling as a consequence of
Speaker 1: and waiting for what is going to you know, unfold
Speaker 1: with the tariffs in place. Oh, looky here, starting on
Speaker 1: the low side of the futures markets, Dow Jones Industrials
Speaker 1: up two percent, SMP five hundred north of two and
Speaker 1: a half percent and the nasdac's way up at north
Speaker 1: of three and a half percent, So looking rather good
Speaker 1: for the markets this morning given the developments here with tariff, So.
Speaker 2: Keep your fingers crossed.
Speaker 1: Cooler heads may ultimately prevail and we may end up
Speaker 1: getting some benefits out of this. I know we have
Speaker 1: a tremendous trade imbalance one point two billion dollar trade
Speaker 1: deficits specifically, so I know Trump is trying to put
Speaker 1: an end to that and balance things out a little bit.
Speaker 1: Of course, it's tough to compete with China given their
Speaker 1: low labor standard and cheap manufacturing.
Speaker 2: Costs and cheap energy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, cheap energy because they continue to build coal plants
Speaker 1: and don't care about global warming and cutting their personal
Speaker 1: throats in the name of reducing carbon output. Let us
Speaker 1: see here speaking of that kind of a red flag.
Speaker 1: PJM Interconnection the largest power grid operator in the United
Speaker 1: States and of course, well maybe not of course from
Speaker 1: It includes Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, a huge chunk
Speaker 1: of Kentucky, and some eastern seaboard states, so it's a large,
Speaker 1: large power grid operator. They issued a warning this past
Speaker 1: Friday extreme heat this summer could well deal with would
Speaker 1: run right into record energy demand for a variety of reasons. Ever,
Speaker 1: record energy demand extreme heat of course causes everybody's air
Speaker 1: conditions to turn on and go higher, but also the
Speaker 1: increase in electric vehicles and artificial intelligence on the grid
Speaker 1: a lot of additional power demand out there core to
Speaker 1: the grid operator. The season also marks the first time
Speaker 1: in pjm's annual assessment, however, that available generation capacity may
Speaker 1: fall short of required reserves in an extreme planning scenario
Speaker 1: that would result in an all time PJM peak load,
Speaker 1: specifically more than one hundred and sixty six thousand megawatts.
Speaker 1: They're just basically issuing you a warning that you know
Speaker 1: you may have your power shut off. Grid operator warned
Speaker 1: that a perfect storm of here we go, retiring fossil
Speaker 1: fuel plants, sluggish renewable energy growth, and soaring demand could
Speaker 1: trigger shortages for the first time. In a quote from
Speaker 1: PJMPGM continues to voice concerns about the supply and demand
Speaker 1: imbalance driven by generator retirements and the slow build of
Speaker 1: new resources in the face of accelerating demand growth. When
Speaker 1: can't keep a steady power source and we'd keep putting
Speaker 1: more and more and more and more demands on the grid.
Speaker 1: It's a recipe for absolute outright disaster. So and they
Speaker 1: do sub electric vehicles, AI data centers and other you know,
Speaker 1: the rush to electrification of everything. So they're warning about
Speaker 1: potential summer shortfalls a direct consequence of aggressive net zero
Speaker 1: and green energy policies which have destabilized power grids and
Speaker 1: driven prices higher, particularly here in the Mid Atlantic States.
Speaker 1: And you know, Duke already announced you're going to have
Speaker 1: an increase in your electricity charge. It's going to go up.
Speaker 1: So reliability down, price up. Exactly what we all want
Speaker 1: out of here, isn't it. It's crazy, gotting our own throats.
Speaker 1: And another interesting news, and I don't know if he
Speaker 1: can pull it off, but Donald Trump announced he's planning
Speaker 1: on signing an executive order today heard at the top
Speaker 1: of the ar news that will reduce the cost of
Speaker 1: prescription drugs and pharmaceuticals almost immediately, in his words, by
Speaker 1: thirty to eighty percent.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 1: And that's what yesterday on truth social media. For many years,
Speaker 1: the world has wondered why the prescription drugs and pharmaceuticals
Speaker 1: in the United States of America were so much higher
Speaker 1: in price than they were in any other nation, sometimes
Speaker 1: being five to ten times more expensive than the same
Speaker 1: drug manufactured in the exact same lab or plant by
Speaker 1: the same company. It was always difficult to explain and
Speaker 1: very embarrassing because in fact there was no correct or
Speaker 1: rightful answer, he said.
Speaker 2: Hmm. It continued.
Speaker 1: The pharmaceutical drug companies would say for years that it
Speaker 1: was research and development costs, that all these costs were
Speaker 1: and would be for no reason whatsoever, borne by the
Speaker 1: suckers of America alone. Campaign contributions can do wonders, but
Speaker 1: not with me and not with the Republican Party. So
Speaker 1: we're going to do the right things sometimes that the
Speaker 1: Democrats have fought for many years. Therefore, I I am
Speaker 1: police to announce it tomorrow. That will be today in
Speaker 1: the morning, at nine am. This morning, at nine I
Speaker 1: will be signing one of the most consequential executive vorders
Speaker 1: in our country's history. Prescription drug and pharmaceutical prices will
Speaker 1: be reduced almost immediately thirty to eighty percent. I will
Speaker 1: be instituting a most Favored Nations policy, he wrote, whereby
Speaker 1: the United States will pay the same price as the
Speaker 1: nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the world.
Speaker 1: Our country will finally be treated fairly, and our citizens'
Speaker 1: health care costs will be reduced by numbers never seen
Speaker 1: through the even thought of before. Additionally, on top of
Speaker 1: everything else, the United States will save trillions of dollars. Well,
Speaker 1: can he pull that off through an executive order? I
Speaker 1: guess I'm just kind of wondering. I know there's a
Speaker 1: lot of contracts out there. Last month, he signed an
Speaker 1: executive vorder stand up using Medicare payments for prescription drugs,
Speaker 1: including those used for cancer patients, no matter where a
Speaker 1: patient receives treatment. Fact sheet said at the time the
Speaker 1: order could lower prices for patients more than sixty percent
Speaker 1: or also called to match Medicare payment for certain prescription
Speaker 1: drugs to the price the hospital's pay.
Speaker 2: See.
Speaker 1: Oh, there's the kind of a parallel you can draw
Speaker 1: that's up to thirty five percent lower than what the
Speaker 1: government pays to acquire the medications. So let me the
Speaker 1: looking out into the world, going back to his executive
Speaker 1: order for this morning, what's the lowest price out there?
Speaker 1: We're going to be matched. That's what we're going to pay.
Speaker 1: And it's noted that this will cause the price of
Speaker 1: pharmaceuticals globally to go up because the pharmaceuticals aren't going
Speaker 1: to walk away from profits. So assuming this is valid,
Speaker 1: and then he can do this and he can lower
Speaker 1: the price of pharmaceuticals here in the country to the
Speaker 1: lowest price that they are sold out in the world.
Speaker 1: Of course, I imagine the pharmaceutical company is going to
Speaker 1: raise the price out there in the world so they
Speaker 1: can again get some of the profit back.
Speaker 2: But isn't that.
Speaker 1: More fair? And it is kind of a mystery, how
Speaker 1: is it?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: I speak for John Roman to cover sensium. One of
Speaker 1: the ways he can save folks money is because he
Speaker 1: can arrange They have pharmaceuticals purchased from Canada, which is legal.
Speaker 1: Why does Canada get them a lot cheaper than the
Speaker 1: United States? What magic did they wield upon the pharmaceutical companies. Well,
Speaker 1: apparently it's because the pharmaceutical companies can force us to
Speaker 1: pay for them. You know, it's like global wealth distribution.
Speaker 1: We have more money than some country elsewhere, arago, we
Speaker 1: have to pay more to subsidize the purchase of pharmaceuticals
Speaker 1: in other countries. Yeah, I suppose talk amongst yourselves on
Speaker 1: that one, but I think it's a step in the
Speaker 1: right direction. I'm certain that the pharmaceutical companies will will
Speaker 1: take this thing to court, like literally everything Trump has
Speaker 1: been doing, but with the American people can benefit from this.
Speaker 1: And you're facing a really expensive monthly bill on pharmaceuticals
Speaker 1: and you think, wow, if this works, that bill's going
Speaker 1: to drop by thirty to eighty percent. That puts a
Speaker 1: smile on so many people's faces. Let's face it, at
Speaker 1: the vast majority of us are on some kind of
Speaker 1: pharmaceutical So we'll see anxious to hear what the uh
Speaker 1: the Democrats in the left have to say about this?
Speaker 1: Are they going to oppose it because Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: in favor of it. Even if opposition comes at the
Speaker 1: cost of you continuing to pay far more for your
Speaker 1: pharmaceuticals than any other country in the world, that's a
Speaker 1: dangerous ground for them to be taken. I'd argue U
Speaker 1: five point three seven four nine fifty eight hundred eight
Speaker 1: two to three talk pound five fifty on at and
Speaker 1: T fund speaking of something about well, it doesn't require pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 1: QC Kinetics, the nation's leader in non surgical relief for
Speaker 1: joint pain. You know they've been at this for about
Speaker 1: eight years and they have more than fifty thousand satisfied patients,
Speaker 1: people with knee and back pain now living pain free,
Speaker 1: shoulder and hip pain gone. And it's not pharmaceuticals. You
Speaker 1: may be on pharmaceuticals right now because you're struggling with
Speaker 1: this pain and your doctor may have mentioned surgery, and
Speaker 1: you know that's going to cause downtime and there's risks
Speaker 1: associated with surgery. This is coming from your own body.
Speaker 1: Natural regenerative cell therapy to restore the tissue in your
Speaker 1: achy joints. Biologic growth factors taken from your body, concentrated
Speaker 1: in place exactly where that pain is. Powerful, impotent way
Speaker 1: to give your joints new life by repairing the old tissue.
Speaker 1: Sort of that naturally, if you think about it's in
Speaker 1: office procedure again, no drugs, no surgery involved, no downtime UH,
Speaker 1: and patient satisfaction reports are just amazing. So imagine doing
Speaker 1: all the things you want to do this set without
Speaker 1: being slowed down by that awful joint pain. Take them
Speaker 1: up on the offer or for a free consultation to
Speaker 1: find out if these treatments will be right for you
Speaker 1: or can be right for you, Dan Free. Here's the
Speaker 1: number three times in a row. You know I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do it. Five one three eight four seven zero zero
Speaker 1: one nine five one three eight four seven zero zero
Speaker 1: one nine. That's five one three eight four seven zero
Speaker 1: zero one nine.
Speaker 4: Fifty five the talk station, not everyone who handles youday.
Speaker 1: I'm a happy Monday to you. Five on three seven
Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two
Speaker 1: to three talk pound five fifty. You've got an AT
Speaker 1: and T phone. As we struggle with demands on the
Speaker 1: grid and apparently potential blackouts over the summer because of
Speaker 1: the extra demands on the grid and the reduction of
Speaker 1: power generation given this global shift to green power generation,
Speaker 1: which isn't reliable, that would definitely impact my decision whether
Speaker 1: or not to purchase an EV and apparently, accord to
Speaker 1: a new industry data compiled by Motor Intelligence, four point
Speaker 1: three percent declining US EV sales in April, while automobile
Speaker 1: sales jumped ten percent during the same time period. So
Speaker 1: people aren't buying the evs, but they're still buying more automobiles.
Speaker 1: Tesla model S down seventy one percent, Model X down
Speaker 1: thirty four percent, Cyber truck down thirty percent, Model Y
Speaker 1: down twenty two percent, Tesla Model three though jump twenty
Speaker 1: four percent. Rivian electric cars declined thirty three percent. Lucid
Speaker 1: did jump seven percent, so they sold more. Study from
Speaker 1: last year by mackenzie and Company found forty six percent
Speaker 1: of US EV drivers want to switch back to gas
Speaker 1: powered cars. Galloped At a survey, nearly half forty seven
Speaker 1: percent of Americans said they would not buy an electric vehicle.
Speaker 1: That's up from forty one percent the prior year, so
Speaker 1: not exactly well, you know, And here's the thing. If
Speaker 1: you're making an informed decision, you think, Wow. Pjam's the
Speaker 1: largest power grid, the old largest power provider in the Midwest,
Speaker 1: says it's going to have some problems keeping the lights
Speaker 1: on this summer. If demand bumps, how are you going
Speaker 1: to charge your car? Hey Pete, welcome to the Morning
Speaker 1: Show and a very happy Monday to you. Thanks for calling.
Speaker 5: Thanks Brian. How are we getting jabs on pharmaceuticals? I
Speaker 5: had a situations where I needed to braces and I
Speaker 5: checked to see if they were covered by Medicare, and
Speaker 5: they said they were. They were a thousand dollars each
Speaker 5: Medicare paid eight hundred and I was supposed to pay
Speaker 5: two hundred each. And I googled them on Google lens
Speaker 5: and that exact same brace is on there.
Speaker 3: For one hundred and thirty nine.
Speaker 5: So they're charging our government medicare me.
Speaker 6: They're trying to charge.
Speaker 5: Us ten times.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what that thing?
Speaker 5: And that's retail. I bet that thing doesn't cost fifty bucks.
Speaker 2: Probably not.
Speaker 5: If Trump can do with the pharmaceuticals, he needs to
Speaker 5: do it with all the appliances and all the because
Speaker 5: they are literally raping us on that and our government
Speaker 5: on that's crazy.
Speaker 1: Yes they are, and they get away with it. That's yeah,
Speaker 1: you're just the tip of the iceberg on that. There
Speaker 1: are a million stories along the same lines how the
Speaker 1: American taxpayers are getting ripped off along again paying too
Speaker 1: much for any given item that goes through a government
Speaker 1: payment program. Therein lies the challenge. Maybe we should unleast
Speaker 1: doze on that. That'd be a great idea, wouldn't it,
Speaker 1: And coming up local stories ormophone calls. I always appreciate
Speaker 1: hearing from you, prefer hearing from you. But we can
Speaker 1: do local stories.
Speaker 2: Do have some.

Speaker 4: In this week's Marketers Report, chata I says the.
Speaker 1: Following about your weather today, mostly cloudy, scattered showers and
Speaker 1: storms put no severe weather seventy two for the high
Speaker 1: fifty two overnight with isolated showers, possible clouds and scattered storms.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow with a high of seventy three down to sixty
Speaker 1: overnight with just a slight chance of rain and a
Speaker 1: partly cloudy oneesday with just a chance of rain and
Speaker 1: a high of seventy seven sixty four degrees right now
Speaker 1: for you got KRCV talk stations. Happy Monday mentioned the
Speaker 1: US and China green to these substantial tariff cuts ninety
Speaker 1: day pause at least while they hammer out more details
Speaker 1: and the markets continue to rise. Future's up s and
Speaker 1: p five and three quarters percent. That was up a
Speaker 1: little over two and the NASDAC geez up three point
Speaker 1: seventy five percent right now at least that's the future,
Speaker 1: so then those numbers have gone up since I mentioned
Speaker 1: the story at the top of the hour after the news.
Speaker 2: After the news was over.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones and see what Tom's got today.
Speaker 1: Hey Tom, Happy Monday to you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, good morning. How you doing.
Speaker 1: I'm doing pretty well all things considered. It is Monday,
Speaker 1: so you know, firing on just.
Speaker 2: Less than eight it is.
Speaker 6: It's just it's just another day in the long line
Speaker 6: of many as far as I'm concerned. So, but now,
Speaker 6: it was good. Yesterday I had a nice little Mother's
Speaker 6: day for the wife and a couple of your kids
Speaker 6: with us. Took her out to dinner and uh so
Speaker 6: we had a we had a good time.
Speaker 2: It's good.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a nice day for it. That's good.
Speaker 6: That's always that's always nice. When mom has a good day,
Speaker 6: everything usually goes well.
Speaker 2: You know that. Man, You know.
Speaker 6: That, hey, this this this what Trump is trying to
Speaker 6: do now what he's well been doing whatever, and especially
Speaker 6: this thing where he's he's starting to get in into
Speaker 6: these big pasta goal that these uh that the government
Speaker 6: has at least that's the way everybody looks at it.
Speaker 6: I agree. I've always had an issue with how much
Speaker 6: money the government has to pay for things as opposed
Speaker 6: to you know, normal private citizens or whatever stuff like that.
Speaker 6: You know, being in the construction industry. Whenever you're doing
Speaker 6: a government funded job, it's like everything just happens to
Speaker 6: cost a lot more because because there's the assumption that
Speaker 6: there's this big, bottomless pot of money that that people
Speaker 6: could dip into, you know, and then right now, I mean,
Speaker 6: I'm working at at the University of Cincinnati, so it's
Speaker 6: not just you see, it's the state of Ohio and uh.
Speaker 6: And they always seem to Hey, whatever you see wants,
Speaker 6: they're going to get. They they they want this now. Granted,
Speaker 6: a lot of the money for this facility is dotor uh.
Speaker 6: You know, donors have paid into it. So you know,
Speaker 6: that's fine. If people want to give hundreds of thousands
Speaker 6: or million dollars or whatever to support athletics or whatever,
Speaker 6: that's great.
Speaker 8: Good for you.
Speaker 6: That's your money. You do whatever you want with it.
Speaker 6: But when it comes to the state money, that's our money,
Speaker 6: that's our task dollars, and it is it is good
Speaker 6: to know that there's somebody out there who's saying, well,
Speaker 6: wait a second, we don't have to pay what peace say,
Speaker 6: ten times more or however many times more for something
Speaker 6: just because we're the government. That's not fair, that's not right,
Speaker 6: because it's not like we are the government. Yes, we
Speaker 6: can go print our own money, but it's got to
Speaker 6: come from somewhere, you know, and it's coming off out
Speaker 6: of our taxes and so. But he's walking on eggsdale. Now,
Speaker 6: let me let me put this, let me put this different.
Speaker 6: He's not walking on eggsdale. He's a pull in a
Speaker 6: China job. But he's going into territory where now you're
Speaker 6: starting to mess with these people's livelihood, these people who
Speaker 6: are involved in all these contracts, these people who have
Speaker 6: been getting the kick back to who are enjoying this
Speaker 6: surplus of money, and he's going to be messing with that.
Speaker 6: He's really going to start messing with people who are
Speaker 6: in positions of power. So uh yeah, it's it's gonna
Speaker 6: get disty here. But he's on the right track because
Speaker 6: he's trying to save you and I and that's regular
Speaker 6: taxpayers money, something that the Democrats don't seem to give
Speaker 6: a crap about. They enjoy the pluff, but they talk
Speaker 6: about it. They say all kinds of things about it.
Speaker 6: And to your point, you know, it's dangerous for Democrats
Speaker 6: to oppose this whole prescription drug thing, because haven't they
Speaker 6: been clamoring about lowering prescription drugs, and now here's somebody
Speaker 6: going to do it. Because it's not them, they might
Speaker 6: oppose it. Yeah, this is gonna get real disty and interesting,
Speaker 6: and I'm definitely going to make a bag of popcorn
Speaker 6: to put my feet up and pay attention to. Yeah,
Speaker 6: so Boote Democrats.
Speaker 1: Thanks to Tom. But consider the money trail. You know,
Speaker 1: you and I are funding the shouldering the burning of
Speaker 1: these thousand dollars prosthetic things or knee braces or whatever
Speaker 1: for Pete and ninety gazillion other people in the United
Speaker 1: States when you can find them on the open market
Speaker 1: for one hundred and fifty bucks. Scratch your head over
Speaker 1: that one. But consider the money trail. Pharmaceutical companies make
Speaker 1: a lot of money by negotiating those great contracts with
Speaker 1: government programs like Medicare Medicaid, and it makes them heap
Speaker 1: loads of money, money which they can funnel back into
Speaker 1: the pockets of politicians and maybe kickbacks and bribes.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Some of it be illegal, but there it is, a
Speaker 1: pot of money grows bigger for the pharmaceutical companies, and
Speaker 1: of course they reward those who reward them couple that
Speaker 1: with the fact that government doesn't have any incentive to
Speaker 1: act like a real business and watch out for the
Speaker 1: bottom line because they have an unlimited, well at least
Speaker 1: theoretically unlimited supply of money flowing into their coffers that
Speaker 1: they don't have to work for or earn taxpayer dollars,
Speaker 1: zero incentive to control the bottom line. So yeah, this
Speaker 1: is why I like Doze in the work that Doze
Speaker 1: has done because it reveals this insidious relationship between government,
Speaker 1: government officials, elected officials, and the American people that they
Speaker 1: purport to represent, and we find out that no, they're
Speaker 1: really not actually representing us. They just don't care. That's
Speaker 1: my conclusion on the whole thing. Eh, maybe you went
Speaker 1: over to Gate of Heaven Cemetery over the weekend and
Speaker 1: enjoy the peaceful, relaxing environment. What beautiful weather, and it's
Speaker 1: an ideal time to head or to Gate of a
Speaker 1: Gate of Heaven Cemetery of Montgomery and enjoy that gorgeous,
Speaker 1: beautifully maintained setting. It's a place for remembrance and reflection,
Speaker 1: but it's also a place for you to unload, unwind
Speaker 1: the winding roads and pathways, the monuments and the seasonal flowers,
Speaker 1: the trim lawns. It's just a beautiful, beautiful, tranquil atmosphere.
Speaker 1: So it's a perfect location for prayer and reflection, you know,
Speaker 1: at any time of the year, honestly, but wow, what
Speaker 1: an ideal time right now, just gorgeous. Open to everyone
Speaker 1: to enjoy. Gate to Heaven ministering to the Tri State

Speaker 1: Tech Friday's Dave Hatter. Uh, you want to get a
Speaker 1: copy of Bill Pott's book Up for the Fights, about
Speaker 1: a cancer survivor. The Cincinnati Type in Print Museum is
Speaker 1: a thing, and what a cool thing it is. I
Speaker 1: found out about that through my mom got the guy
Speaker 1: from the Cincinni Type in Print Museum on the program
Speaker 1: and amazing trade career opportunities in the print field. I
Speaker 1: learned a lot from that guy. I'm just talking about,
Speaker 1: you know, the regular old school printing press. You're talking
Speaker 1: about modern printing techniques like for electronics and circuit boards
Speaker 1: and things. So anyway, career opportunities abound, and they teach
Speaker 1: you how to do that at the Cincinni Type in
Speaker 1: Print Museum. So that out fifty five caresee dot com.
Speaker 2: Over to the stack of stupid.
Speaker 1: Go to Las Vegas where a Capo cake shop employee
Speaker 1: said she was attacked by a customer over a disagreement
Speaker 1: involving a custom cake topper. Thank you, jos Strecker, you
Speaker 1: anticipated that one, the employee Astraman anonymous did. It happened
Speaker 1: March twenty second, while she was walking alone in the
Speaker 1: area of the cake shop, said his customer became upset
Speaker 1: after seeing the size of the custom cake topper. Or
Speaker 1: to the employee, sheh had her dog with her and
Speaker 1: her daughter, and I told her that there were no
Speaker 1: pets allowed in the shop, but she was visibly upset.
Speaker 1: So the customer became increasingly agitated over the size of
Speaker 1: the cake topper. Moments later that two ended up on
Speaker 1: the ground. And yes, there, of course is surveillance video
Speaker 1: which shows the customer and the employee violently fighting while
Speaker 1: the woman's daughter and dog look on. Employee said she
Speaker 1: suvered a bup in the head and whiplash, missed several
Speaker 1: days of work, and later went to the hospital where
Speaker 1: she was diagnosed.
Speaker 2: With next strain and hematoma.
Speaker 1: Employee filed a police report that she's pressing charges against
Speaker 1: the customer. Police there said a citation's not an issue,
Speaker 1: but they are actively looking for the customer. Employee has
Speaker 1: since left the cake shop, saying she no longer feels
Speaker 1: safe there. The woman who attacked her is still hasn't
Speaker 1: been found, which is upsetting to the former employee. Police
Speaker 1: said the woman could face misdemeanor battery charges size of
Speaker 1: a cake topper.
Speaker 9: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.
Speaker 2: I'll hold that thought, jos Jack.
Speaker 1: Are we got to Cadwell Parish or Caldwell Parish, Louisiana
Speaker 1: where a man there is facing charges after authorities say
Speaker 1: he intentionally ran over his father after a dispute about
Speaker 1: who would pay the bill at a Mexican restaurant. Sheriff's
Speaker 1: office arrested thirty seven year old Lucas Stowe charges a
Speaker 1: second degree murder in connection with the death of his father,
Speaker 1: sixty four year old Luther Stowe. Sheriff's farman got a
Speaker 1: call regarding a pedestrian being in the parking lot in
Speaker 1: front of the Gonzales Mexican restaurant in Columbia. About the
Speaker 1: same time, Official say reports also came in advising that
Speaker 1: an ambulance was needed in the parking lot. Authorities arrived,
Speaker 1: discovering a man who had been run over and appeared
Speaker 1: to have an extreme trauma. Victim who did later die
Speaker 1: at the hospital identified as Luther Stowe. Sheriff's office said
Speaker 1: Deputy Maxwell, who was off duty at the time, heard
Speaker 1: tires squealing nearby and looked up to see a body
Speaker 1: on the ground in a white fort he believed ran
Speaker 1: over the body. Leaving the parking lot. Authorities helped the victim.
Speaker 1: Maxwell left the parking lot in his personal truck to
Speaker 1: attempt to stop the vehicle. Deputy Lucas Stowe took Lucastow
Speaker 1: into custody after stopping his vehicle in front down the
Speaker 1: street transported a Callwell Parish annex. After interviewing witnesses, authority
Speaker 1: say the incident stemmed from a disagreement between the father
Speaker 1: and the son, but who had paid for the food
Speaker 1: at the restaurant. Video footage as from the scene showed
Speaker 1: Lucas Stowe getting into his car waiting for his father
Speaker 1: to exit the rest before allegedly rapidly accelerating running over
Speaker 1: the sixty four year old. Seriously, Perio is the biggest
Speaker 1: douche of the universe, in all the galaxies. There's no
Speaker 1: bigger douche than you. You've reached the top, the pinnacle
Speaker 1: of douche dump.
Speaker 4: Good going, douce.
Speaker 2: Your dreams have come.
Speaker 1: True as they sit here in contemplate, is, Joe, how
Speaker 1: much do you think a meal for two at a
Speaker 1: Mexican restaurant had to cost me?
Speaker 2: Thirty bucks?
Speaker 1: He killed his dad over something that was probably around
Speaker 1: a thirty dollars bill.
Speaker 2: Well, let's add tipping that.
Speaker 1: Maybe a couple of margaritas to take the I'll acknowledge that, Joe,
Speaker 1: but we can agree probably less than one hundred bucks
Speaker 1: go to Highlands County Florida, Florida man facing charges after
Speaker 1: he offered a Highland County deputies and alcoholic beverage following
Speaker 1: a bizarre pursuit three am or three pm. Rather deputy
Speaker 1: said thirty nine year old Richard Christopher Smith, Miami stole
Speaker 1: several items, including several alcoholic beverages, then walked out of
Speaker 1: the spring Lake Market Shortland.
Speaker 2: Four deputies arrived.
Speaker 1: They say Smith was in a black minivan driving circles
Speaker 1: around the store, then sped off, launching a pursuit ending
Speaker 1: several miles later in the parking lot of a business.
Speaker 1: During the pursuit, deputy say Smith held a can of
Speaker 1: Kettle I vodka sprits out the window as he drove
Speaker 1: by a deputy trying to stop him, telling the deputy quote,
Speaker 1: I was just going to give you a drink.
Speaker 2: That's all.

Speaker 1: Back over to the stack of Student, a brother of
Speaker 1: a South Carolina petting zoo owner apparently beaten to death
Speaker 1: by a kangaroo after going into the kangaroo's pen to
Speaker 1: roughhouse with it. Eric Slathe's body discovered inside the facility
Speaker 1: just before midnight Friday at the five Star Farm.
Speaker 2: Somewhat close to Myrtle Beach.
Speaker 1: According to the reportings, fifty two year old Slate had
Speaker 1: a history of stepping into the kangaroo's enclosure and roughhousing
Speaker 1: with it, which apparently is what was happening at the
Speaker 1: time of his death. That's according to local council member
Speaker 1: Mark Cowsey, speaking with the local Channel thirteen News, he
Speaker 1: said it just went south. Kangaroos still in the enclosure
Speaker 1: at the family owned farm when Slat's body was found.
Speaker 1: It's not clear which animal killed Slate, but he was
Speaker 1: found with multiple blunt force injuries. They say an adult
Speaker 1: male red kangaroo can weigh nearly two hundred pounds, grow
Speaker 1: five to eleven with the powerful feet for kicking.
Speaker 2: Back.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, an elderly man was killed by
Speaker 1: his pet kangaroo in Western Australia. That believed to be
Speaker 1: the first time a kangaroo killed a person in nearly
Speaker 1: ninety years. Five Star Farms apparently has an interactive petting
Speaker 1: view with petting zoo with exotic animals, including kangaroos. Kangaroo
Speaker 1: not aggressive and has not been euthanized, according to Kusey.
Speaker 1: He said, it's not an aggressive animal. It's very sad.
Speaker 1: It was not the animal's fault. Experts coming in to
Speaker 1: ensure that the enclosure is safe and the animals okay.
Speaker 1: South Carolina has some of the loosest restrictions in the
Speaker 1: United States on the ownership of exotic animals. It's one
Speaker 1: of only three states where kangaroo ownership isn't prohibited. I
Speaker 1: guess we learn something here. Don't rough house with kangaroos.
Speaker 1: We might have another word to give out, Joe, And
Speaker 1: this is absolutely discussed in California. Former Teacher of the
Speaker 1: Year sentence this past Friday to thirty years in prison
Speaker 1: for sexually abusing two of her sixth grade students, Jeez Louiz.

Speaker 1: for years and years and years, it was always the
Speaker 1: male teachers molesting, you know, it was always priest molesting
Speaker 1: boys or whatever. It was always a male molesting whoever
Speaker 1: the recipient of the molestation was. But all these stories
Speaker 1: of late involved female teachers molesting younger kids and the

Speaker 1: I know we had a wonderful time hanging out with
Speaker 1: my mom, and of course my wife appreciate what she's
Speaker 1: done in terms of raising our children. Couldn't have done
Speaker 1: it without her. Matter of fact, I've often joked, I
Speaker 1: don't know if my children will be alive if it
Speaker 1: weren't for my wife. Yeah, I'm that critical of myself,
Speaker 1: at least in terms of, you know, healthcare. Most notably,
Speaker 1: I'm married a nurse. He Yeah, she was a lawyer,
Speaker 1: but also previously served as a nurse. So that's a
Speaker 1: smart that's a smart move. I always give myself credit
Speaker 1: for marrying outside my element out kicking my coverage. You
Speaker 1: can find yourself a nurse. Let me tell you what
Speaker 1: that is an outstanding thing to do. Coming up fifty
Speaker 1: five car see Morning show Christopher Smith been every Monday
Speaker 1: at seven twenty for the Smith Event, former Vice Mayor
Speaker 1: of the City of Cincinnati. Fast forward two hours Money
Speaker 1: Money with Brian James and some topics which may change
Speaker 1: in a lot of the really important announcement that's released
Speaker 1: about us coming to a tariff cuts with China. We've
Speaker 1: reached an agreement to at least pause some of the
Speaker 1: really really significant tariffs for at least ninety days while
Speaker 1: they hammered out additional details. Brian Jane's gonna be talking
Speaker 1: about global shipping down, empty shelves, four lease signs and
Speaker 1: lay off, moving away from that student loans now do
Speaker 1: and is there going to be a housing market correction.
Speaker 1: So that's with Brian James again coming up in a
Speaker 1: couple of hours, followed by doctor Robert Malone, who's going
Speaker 1: to be doing the final empower Use seminar for the
Speaker 1: year injuries from the COVID vaccine and what particular diseases
Speaker 1: and problems of COVID nineteen vaccines have cost. More and
Speaker 1: more information coming out about that every single day. Feel
Speaker 1: free to direct the topic of conversation. We got something
Speaker 1: to say five three, seven, four, nine fifty, five hundred,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty two to three talk and pound
Speaker 1: five fifty on AT and T phones. Yeah, the substantial
Speaker 1: tariff cuts we agreed to with China have really had
Speaker 1: a profound impact on market futures. Uh, it's a good
Speaker 1: day to be invested in the market. If the trend
Speaker 1: continues during trading hours, just shy a four percent Nasdaq increase,
Speaker 1: more than two percent for the Dow and right now
Speaker 1: just under three percent increase for the S and P
Speaker 1: five hundred and so indication that people are happy about
Speaker 1: these the pause and these tariffs. Both sides are going
Speaker 1: to cut retaliatory levees then to ten percent, although there's
Speaker 1: a separate twenty percent tariff. The President opposed on what
Speaker 1: he described his channel's role in the fentyl trade, and
Speaker 1: that will remain in place. But the one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty five percent reciprocal tariff now down to just ten percent,
Speaker 1: and Trump's leading a ten percent flat tariff across all countries.
Speaker 1: And they're currently still negotiating with a variety of other countries.
Speaker 1: And of course last week we reached an agreement with Britain,
Speaker 1: which was, you know, a step in the right direction.
Speaker 1: And this is what Trump promised to do. You know,
Speaker 1: you throw these tariffs on everybody, and trust me, I
Speaker 1: kind of little concerned about him as a strategy. But
Speaker 1: if they are harmed or their economies are going to
Speaker 1: be harmed by them, then it forces them to the
Speaker 1: negotiation table where maybe we can come up with something
Speaker 1: a little bit more practical that benefits both countries, and
Speaker 1: that's all Trump was trying to do. So anyway, the
Speaker 1: markets really have reacted favorably to this, and I think
Speaker 1: you and I will react favorably if our pharmaceutical prices
Speaker 1: come down, and that's one thing that Trump has promised
Speaker 1: to do today with this executive order. Now I have
Speaker 1: to qualify it and say, I'm certain that we're going
Speaker 1: to see litigation over this. Can Donald Trump unilaterally declare
Speaker 1: a most Favored Nations policy? So after a long witted
Speaker 1: ramp up to why he's doing this, with our pharmaceutical
Speaker 1: prices will far in excess of what the rest of
Speaker 1: the world pays, up to five to ten times more
Speaker 1: than what pharmaceutical companies starts for the exact same pharmaceutical,
Speaker 1: as he pointed out, made in the exact same plant.
Speaker 1: Why are we all paying that much more? So the
Speaker 1: executiveorder is supposed to be signed today, it will be
Speaker 1: instituting a most Favored Nations policy, whereby the United States
Speaker 1: will pay the same price as the nation that pays
Speaker 1: the lowest price anywhere in the world, saying our country
Speaker 1: will finally be treated fairly in our citizens' health care
Speaker 1: costs will be reduced by numbers never before even thought
Speaker 1: of before claiming a thirty eighty percent reduction almost immediately,
Speaker 1: So keep your popcorn out and keep your fingers crossed
Speaker 1: that this actually works. Now, it's going to be much
Speaker 1: of the chagrant of the other nations in the world,
Speaker 1: who presumably are going to having to pay more. I
Speaker 1: can't see pharmaceutical companies walking away from their profit margins,
Speaker 1: which have been bolstered by what we pay on the
Speaker 1: price of medications. But apparently drug prices have jumped significantly
Speaker 1: in recent years. Between January twenty two and twenty three,
Speaker 1: prescription drug prices rose more than fifteen percent and reached
Speaker 1: an average of five hundred and ninety dollars per drug product.
Speaker 1: That's courting the Department of Health and Human Services information Shoosh.
Speaker 1: Of the four thousand, two hundre prescription drugs included in
Speaker 1: the list, forty six percent of the price increases exceeded
Speaker 1: the rate of inflation. So you think there's something nefarious
Speaker 1: going on out here and the price of pharmaceuticals. I
Speaker 1: know we all have had that sort of feeling for
Speaker 1: years and years and year, But we have been subsidizing
Speaker 1: research and development for the pharmaceutical companies, and why did
Speaker 1: the other countries always get the benefit of well us
Speaker 1: carrying the water. So I like the idea, and I'm
Speaker 1: really anxious to see how the Democrats react to this.
Speaker 1: Now you can imagine the pharmaceutical companies wanting to run
Speaker 1: into court to try to stop this from happening. But
Speaker 1: what are the Democrats going to say? Is this something
Speaker 1: that they're against? Are they going to make some sort
Speaker 1: of socialist wealth redistribution argument in favor of the other
Speaker 1: countries getting the benefit of us paying so much more
Speaker 1: for pharmaceuticals ergoes subsidizing their low cost I mean, that's
Speaker 1: the only road I can see them going down, because
Speaker 1: everybody's clamoring for lower prices in pharmaceuticals. Democrats get pharmaceuticals,
Speaker 1: Republicans do. Everybody does, and with inflationary pressures we're all facing.
Speaker 1: This seems like a win win sort of bipartisan perhaps outcome.
Speaker 1: Who could argue with that? In as well, Democrats always
Speaker 1: figure a way out. If Trump does something, then they're
Speaker 1: against it, period, end of story. So I'm waiting with
Speaker 1: my popcorn out. There's sort of a grin on my face,
Speaker 1: wondering how they're going to wrestle with this one. What
Speaker 1: would you say to that? No, Trump, don't, don't. Don't
Speaker 1: lower pharmaceutical prices for American citizens. We need to subsidize
Speaker 1: the rest of the world. I don't know that that flies.
Speaker 1: So I think that's going to be the more interesting
Speaker 1: component of it. Democrats reaction. Uh, let us see here. Oh,
Speaker 1: this this is fantastic. So last Friday, the Ohio Republican
Speaker 1: Party Central State Central Committee endorsed Dave ek Ramaswami for
Speaker 1: governor and Senator John Houston for well his Senate bid.
Speaker 1: He's got to get re elected or he's got to
Speaker 1: get elected because he was appointed to that Senate position.
Speaker 1: So VvE went, I mean he walked away with it
Speaker 1: secret ballot. He needed forty four yes votes. Vive got
Speaker 1: sixty to three. And that's in spite of Governor Mike
Speaker 1: the Wine's efforts to try to well to tank support
Speaker 1: for vivik Ramaswamy. What he was trying to do in
Speaker 1: the lead up to the vote. He was lobbying hard
Speaker 1: to block this vote from happening. The governor apparently himself,
Speaker 1: making calls claiming it was too early to endorse anyone,
Speaker 1: just ahead of Tressel's Thursday night statement that he was
Speaker 1: going to run for the for the Governor's office Lieutenant governor.
Speaker 1: Jim Trussell football coach. I love how they add that
Speaker 1: in there. It's like every time you mentioned Elon musk
Speaker 1: you gotta mention billionaire Elon musk Well football coach Jim
Speaker 1: Trussell appointed by governor to Wine for lieutenant governor with
Speaker 1: the shape he hadn't yet formerly endorsed, And so Dwine
Speaker 1: was running around trying to make the arguments that declarations
Speaker 1: of candidacy aren't due until February fourth of next year. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's too early, it's too early, many claiming that he
Speaker 1: wanted a delay on this vote so he could sort
Speaker 1: of go around and argue why Tressel was a viable
Speaker 1: and more and better candidate than the very very popular
Speaker 1: check out your polls Viva Ramaswami Dwaine saying regarding an
Speaker 1: endorsement being premature, as far as who I endorse in
Speaker 1: the Republican primary for governor, it's much too early right as.
Speaker 2: We do not know who all will be in the race.
Speaker 1: One of the Essential Committee members speaking with the Ohio
Speaker 1: Press Network, unidentified individual making the statement, Dwain is trying
Speaker 1: to buy time as a man in Ohio politics for
Speaker 1: almost fifty years, his connections would afford him the chance
Speaker 1: to make party members knuckle under and bowed his demands
Speaker 1: in the long run, claiming this effort exposes Dwine's delay
Speaker 1: as a power grab and not a procedural concern. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I dewines fading from the limelight. Yeah, fifty years,
Speaker 1: it's not his night. It's time for him to move on.
Speaker 1: Why would he want to struggle to maintain some sort
Speaker 1: of power in the form of Lieutenant Governor Jim Trussel?
Speaker 1: And would you vote for him for governor? Youvey Gramma
Speaker 1: Swammy polling huge in the state of Ohio seventy one
Speaker 1: percent poll recently conducted surveying the Ohio GOP primary landscape
Speaker 1: vvik Ramaswammy grabbing seventy one percent of the Republican vote,
Speaker 1: sixty five percent net favorability rating, and of course Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's endorsement didn't harm him in that regard. So I
Speaker 1: think this is a significant indication again sixty to three
Speaker 1: supporting Ramas. I mean, the wine apparently no longer carries
Speaker 1: any power in Columbus. I know, Joe, That's exactly how
Speaker 1: I felt about it. Time for a new guard, and
Speaker 1: I think the bank is going to do a wonderful job.
Speaker 1: I would argue when he gets elected next governor of
Speaker 1: the state of Ohio. USA's premium film does a wonderful job.
Speaker 1: And I talk about it in the forms of return
Speaker 1: on investment. You know your markets are futures are trending
Speaker 1: up today. You may make some money today in the market,
Speaker 1: but you make by saving money every single month if
Speaker 1: you're using your HVAC system with USA's Premium Foam guaranteed
Speaker 1: savings on your energy bill. Energy bills which keep going
Speaker 1: up and up and up, so with the rising costs
Speaker 1: the heat and air conditioning your home, save your money
Speaker 1: and have your home far more comfortable. By getting your
Speaker 1: home injected with the highest R value foam on the market,
Speaker 1: you could save up the fifty percent of utility bills
Speaker 1: you could, and a lot of people have. It's only
Speaker 1: ninety nine dollars a month interest free. So do the
Speaker 1: math on what your average utility bill is and think, hmm,
Speaker 1: it pays for itself, and it does, and it'll continue
Speaker 1: to well keep money in your pocket long after it's
Speaker 1: been paid off. Plus it's only ninety nine dollars a
Speaker 1: month interest free. That's special still going on for the
Speaker 1: folks at USA Insulation. All starts with a free inspection
Speaker 1: and free quote. Are you under insulated? Perhaps maybe no
Speaker 1: insulation in the walls home built before mid seventies no insulation,
Speaker 1: and then right after that you have a period of
Speaker 1: time where they didn't have sufficient R value and what
Speaker 1: you've got is probably deteriorated. So add the phone to
Speaker 1: what you got and enjoy the savings and comfort improvement.
Speaker 1: You're eligible for a twelve hundred dollars energy tax credit
Speaker 1: next year when you do in your taxes. There's no
Speaker 1: downside in this at all. Five one three three eight

Speaker 1: going to try to navigate Trump while slashing drug prices.
Speaker 1: If he can get away with it with an executive order,
Speaker 1: you and I will pay the same price as the
Speaker 1: nations out there in the world that pay the lowest
Speaker 1: price anywhere in the world, most favored nations policies what
Speaker 1: this executive order basically is boiled down to. So as
Speaker 1: I contemplate how the left is going to react to that,
Speaker 1: because anything Trump does is bad, I was drawn to
Speaker 1: this survey Rasmusen poll Maybe which reflect the level of
Speaker 1: well Trump and Musk derangement syndrome. Survey found that eighty
Speaker 1: percent of Americans identifying as liberal would like to see
Speaker 1: Elon Musk thrown in prison because of his involvement with
Speaker 1: the Department of Government Efficiency. Now contemplate that for a moment,
Speaker 1: the guy who's responsible for enlightening all of us about
Speaker 1: the fraud, waste, and abuse in government, the guy that
Speaker 1: is responsible for letting us know that they had hundreds
Speaker 1: of thousands of literally dead people on the Social Security
Speaker 1: active ranks. The guy that discovered USA and all the
Speaker 1: batcrab crazy programs that you and I were funding while
Speaker 1: we dig ourselves in a deficit hole. Bigger and bigger
Speaker 1: and bigger and bigger. Nothing nothing, I guess should be
Speaker 1: cut according to these crazies. Poll found that almost three
Speaker 1: quarters of Democrats want Musk in jail. When extended to
Speaker 1: those describing themselves as liberal, the amount rises to eighty percent,
Speaker 1: So Democrats three quarters of Democrats generally speaking, and the
Speaker 1: far liberal ranks of the Democrats eighty percent. Question quote,
Speaker 1: would you support a hypothetical law that would imprison Elon
Speaker 1: Musk for his role in Doge?
Speaker 2: That's it was.
Speaker 1: A telephone and online survey one thousand and sixty seven
Speaker 1: US likely voters found that fifty four percent of likely
Speaker 1: voters would support a hypothetical law I'm prisoning Musk fors
Speaker 1: rolling Doge. Thirty nine percent who would strongly support such
Speaker 1: a law. A more moderate sixty eight percent say with
Speaker 1: a support of law banning Musk from being involved in
Speaker 1: any way with government. And they basic it they presumed,
Speaker 1: and I guess it's safe for them to presume. It's
Speaker 1: because well, he is supportive of President Trump. Trump appointed him,
Speaker 1: and therefore it's bad really, that's all it takes. Going
Speaker 1: back to my comment about slashing the drug prices, because
Speaker 1: if Trump is successful in slashing your drug prices eighty percent,
Speaker 1: they're going to argue it's bad because well, Trump did it,
Speaker 1: Trump apported Elon Musk. Elon Musk has done valuable work
Speaker 1: on behalf of trying to save our hard earned taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 1: Whether they came out of a lefti's pocket or a
Speaker 1: conservative person's pocket or anybody in between, all Americans pockets
Speaker 1: are paying for this wasted abuse, and somehow that's bad.
Speaker 2: How do you justify claiming that it's bad.
Speaker 1: Justicin Haskins, Senior fell at the Heartland in Stude, who
Speaker 1: co conducted the pole with Rastus, He said, the fact
Speaker 1: that a majority of Democratic voters would support imprisoning Musk
Speaker 1: for trying to make government more efficient is a shocking
Speaker 1: indictment of the modern left, which has become increasingly more
Speaker 1: tyrannical in recent years. Yeah, so we've reached a point
Speaker 1: where many Americans would rather unjustly punish innovation that fixes
Speaker 1: the broken systems Musk was trying to reform. This is
Speaker 1: the hill that they want to die on. It seems
Speaker 1: like an odd place to die. And I think the
Speaker 1: work that Elon Musk is doing it doesn't bear a
Speaker 1: partisan stripe. Yes, he is an appointee of Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: but you know that's where your fault with him should end.
Speaker 1: Look what he has accomplished and how you can find
Speaker 1: fault with it foreign exchange. You can't find any fault
Speaker 1: with foreign exchange. Just had another foreign exchange experience with
Speaker 1: a big one on the spark plugs and the brake
Speaker 1: fluid and oil change and cabin filter and engine filters
Speaker 1: and all that. And yes it was an expensive repair job,
Speaker 1: but I know, I'm I'm convinced I probably saved about
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars going to foreign Exchange and not going
Speaker 1: to the dealer. That's right, regular maintenance and upkeep kind
Speaker 1: of thing. And you know that's not covered under warranty,
Speaker 1: which is why my up until just about a month
Speaker 1: or two ago, my under warranty car has always gone
Speaker 1: to foreign Exchange for things like oil change, where every
Speaker 1: time I changed my oil there I save about two
Speaker 1: hundred dollars over the dealer. That's savings. And it's just
Speaker 1: mind boggling, isn't it. But a se certified master technicians
Speaker 1: working on it. In the case of oil, same oil,
Speaker 1: same filter, serious money savings, and they of course have
Speaker 1: data access to all the manufacturers technical information. Hit a
Speaker 1: guy in there with a hondo I told the story.
Speaker 1: The dealer told him that there were no codes thrown
Speaker 1: in spite of the fact he was saving them difficulty. Well,
Speaker 1: Austin and the team at Foreign Exchange West Sister had
Speaker 1: the exact same software Hondi uses and they hooked it
Speaker 1: up and Lord almighty, they were all kinds of codes
Speaker 1: that have been thrown. Now, why would the dealer mislead somebody, Well,
Speaker 1: because it was under warranty. I think it was because
Speaker 1: they didn't want to have to pay for the repair.
Speaker 1: So off he went with a list of codes to
Speaker 1: go back to the dealer and show it to them.
Speaker 1: And then they said, oh, yeah, you're right, and they
Speaker 1: went at it, fixed it. Something Foreign Exchange can do
Speaker 1: for you You get a full warranty on all the parts
Speaker 1: and service that they provide on your car, and it
Speaker 1: always is going to be your satisfaction. Great with customer service.
Speaker 1: They are Westchester location, Tylersville exit off of seventy five,

Speaker 1: Use seminar on the injuries from COVID vaccine. Last empower
Speaker 1: Use seminar of the season, so look forward to another
Speaker 1: semester this fall. Let us see here, dun, dun local
Speaker 1: stories since at police officer taken to the hospital after
Speaker 1: driver collided with the priests police cruiser. Happened at Walnut
Speaker 1: Hills early on Sunday morning, three point thirty am, near
Speaker 1: the Marathon Gas station on Gilbert Avenue. Officer was responding
Speaker 1: to another crash FOX nineteen reporting at the time of
Speaker 1: the collision. The officer was inside the cruiser and was
Speaker 1: subsequently taken to the hospital dispatcher said the officer is
Speaker 1: expected to be okay, Thank God. Dispatcher say officers not
Speaker 1: currently searching for a suspect, as the driver of the
Speaker 1: other vehicle remained on the scene. Not clear whether the
Speaker 1: driver is facing any charges or if anybody's taken into custody.
Speaker 1: Prayers for the officer and his family.
Speaker 2: First.
Speaker 1: Local sightings of brewed fourteen cicadas have been spotted, according
Speaker 1: to report on a free app called You Ready Cicada Safari.
Speaker 1: That app created by doctor Jean Kritzky, author and biology
Speaker 1: professor Mount Saint Joe University to map where certain species
Speaker 1: of cicada has been reported.
Speaker 2: See here.
Speaker 1: At a large emergence, you'll see a million and a
Speaker 1: half cicadas per acre, he said. That's acreage under trees.
Speaker 1: Cordinga to doctor Kris Kritsky, that's a million and a
Speaker 1: half cicadas. Let us see bottom this food, Jane. They
Speaker 1: are beetless and spiders feasting on nymph cicadas. I guess
Speaker 1: as we speak, the average tree will have probably forty
Speaker 1: thousand eggs and it and probably only five thousand to
Speaker 1: seven thousand, one thousand eggs will have nymphs come out
Speaker 1: of the ground, according to doctor Krinsky, so the mortality
Speaker 1: underground is very intense.
Speaker 2: Said.
Speaker 1: Cicadas are not necessarily past They don't hurt gardens, they
Speaker 1: won't carry disease, they don't bite, But the impact the
Speaker 1: ecology around them that homeowners need to know about, He said,
Speaker 1: I would advise any homeowner this year, especially on the
Speaker 1: east side of Cincinnati, who is planning on replacing some trees,
Speaker 1: do it after the first of July. If they have
Speaker 1: to be in an area where there's a large emergence,
Speaker 1: all these cicadas will fly in and start laying eggs
Speaker 1: in the few branches they have, and this will kill
Speaker 1: the small tree. May twelfth, he generally forecast the day
Speaker 1: for cicadas to start emerging from the ground or emerge
Speaker 1: I guess.
Speaker 2: In earnest.
Speaker 1: Man arrested after hours long swat stand off in Berlin
Speaker 1: and Burlington started late Saturday night at corner Major Phillip A. Rigil,
Speaker 1: a spokesperson with the Boom County Sheriff's office, he said
Speaker 1: twenty nine year old Kyle Wilson arrested in a charge
Speaker 1: of one kind of strangulation to one kind of assault.
Speaker 1: Deputies called about quarter to ten pm to the eighty
Speaker 1: two hundred block of East Bend Road for domestic violence call.
Speaker 1: Victim reported Wilson at assaulted ear and strangled her outside
Speaker 1: the home corner. Major Rigel shared a video shared a
Speaker 1: victim mentioned Wilson might have been armed. Concerned for the safety,
Speaker 1: the victim quickly left the home with her children, who
Speaker 1: were inside during the incident. Deputies corroborated with the victims
Speaker 1: that she had injuries consisted with assault and strangulation. Deputies
Speaker 1: arrived that he spent several hours trying to negot with Wilson.
Speaker 1: Major Rigel said Wilson remain uncooperative. However, during this time,
Speaker 1: deputies obtained and arrest warrant. Sheriff Hill called the SWAT
Speaker 1: team in and everybody worked together to keep negotiations going.
Speaker 1: Once they got on site, Rigil said Wilson eventually came
Speaker 1: onto the porch didn't surrender, though during this period, SWAT
Speaker 1: team discharge a less less lethal munition, which Rigel said
Speaker 1: provided proved effective. Wilson placed underrest held the Boon County
Speaker 1: Jail on a one hundred thousand dollars cash bond.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 1: Apparently, there was a two point eight magnitude earthquake registered
Speaker 1: in central Kentucky May eleventh. Prior to that, at four
Speaker 1: point one magnitude earthquake in Tennessee also felt in Kentucky,
Speaker 1: so Central Kentucky's where it happened early hours May eleventh.
Speaker 1: Corner of the report from the US Geological Survey. Day
Speaker 1: after that, other larger earthquake in Tennessee said a late
Speaker 1: of Kentucky earthquake originated at three forty one am near
Speaker 1: the Gerard Jessamine County line, twenty five miles south of Lexington.
Speaker 1: To the rupture eighteen and a half miles deep, which
Speaker 1: is considered shallow according to reporting here on the enquire
Speaker 1: Reports of weak shaking we're submitted from Lexington, Georgetown, and
Speaker 1: cities in Tennessee, Ohio, North Carolina, and Georgia. No reports
Speaker 1: of injuries or structural damage from the earthquake. Earthquakes under
Speaker 1: five point four magnitude are only expected to cause minor damages,
Speaker 1: according to research from the Michigan Technological University. It's kind
Speaker 1: of strange you get earthquakes in this area of the
Speaker 1: country five or six thirty six Right now. If you

Speaker 1: Yet rip up Carency detalk station, Happy Monday, Smith Event
Speaker 1: Monday and Money Monday with Brian James over at fifty
Speaker 1: five Carecy dot Com had a very enlightening Friday, always
Speaker 1: enlightening because we get tech Friday with Dave Hatter, but
Speaker 1: also the Alzheimer's Association of Cincinnati with facts and figures
Speaker 1: that are rather alarming, but also some optimism and connection
Speaker 1: with the direction we're going with Alzheimer's research, so very
Speaker 1: very informative knows. Notably, I obviously have a very close
Speaker 1: connection with Alzheimer's given what happened to my father. So
Speaker 1: I'd love for them to come up with a cure,
Speaker 1: Lord Almighty, just I mean as much as I'd love
Speaker 1: for cure for cancer. Speaking of cancer, Bill Potts's book
Speaker 1: Up for the Fight, five time cancer survivor with some
Speaker 1: great information on how to cope and keep your motivation
Speaker 1: up and resources that are available. So if you're one
Speaker 1: that's struggling with cancer, I loved one in your world
Speaker 1: is get a copy of the book Up for the Fight.
Speaker 1: Plus learn about the Cincinnati Type in Print Museum. Thanks
Speaker 1: to my mom for bringing that one to my attention.
Speaker 1: She took a tour of it and just found it
Speaker 1: absolutely fascinating. And Lord Almighty, the career opportunit unities, I
Speaker 1: mean career opportunities, good paying jobs in the print economy.
Speaker 1: And it's modern printing. You know, we're not talking about,
Speaker 1: you know, newspapers. We're talking about printing things like circuit
Speaker 1: boards using ink to conduct the electricity. So young people
Speaker 1: can learn a lot at the cincinn Type in Print
Speaker 1: Museum and find themselves a career. Let's see here, I thought,
Speaker 1: and you know, speaking of issues of tech, I'll pivot
Speaker 1: over to the tech component of this because it's something
Speaker 1: I've been warning about. And oh lo and behold here
Speaker 1: it is. So we start with House Democrats from New
Speaker 1: Jersey went to an immigration and customs enforced detention center
Speaker 1: and it evolved into a scuffle with federal agents. Now
Speaker 1: they may be facing arrest. One of them did get arrested.
Speaker 1: Part of the Department of Homeland Security. Lawmakers Lamanica Macuiver,
Speaker 1: Bonnie Watson Coleman, and Rob Menendez broke into the Delaney
Speaker 1: Hall Detention Center along with Newark Mayor Razbacara. Razbacara arrested
Speaker 1: in charge with tres passing. Now authorities are claiming an
Speaker 1: ICE agent was assaulted in the confrontation and that it
Speaker 1: was caught on camera. Noticed my emphasis there on that
Speaker 1: component of the reporting. Department Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia
Speaker 1: McLaughlin said, if it was a typical US citizen and
Speaker 1: they tried to storm into a detention fill facility that's
Speaker 1: housing dangerous criminals, or any person at all, they would
Speaker 1: be arrested. Just because you're a member of Congress or
Speaker 1: just because you're a public official does not mean you're
Speaker 1: above the law. Giver escalated her claims during a press conference,
Speaker 1: claiming she was assaulted by multiple ICE officers while regional
Speaker 1: directors of ICE watched it happen. DHS footage posted on
Speaker 1: X on Saturday appeared to show mcgiver barreling unprovoked through
Speaker 1: a law enforcement near the gate. DHS caption watch US
Speaker 1: Congresswoman Laura Lamonica mcgiver, wearing red blazer, storms the gate
Speaker 1: of Delaney Haul Attemp Center, assaulting an ICE agent. Watson
Speaker 1: Coleman accused an ICE agent of shoving her, claiming to
Speaker 1: be exercising or oversight authority as members of Congress, DHS
Speaker 1: did confirm that many of the folks that are being
Speaker 1: helded in that detention center are murderers, terrorist child rapists,
Speaker 1: and MS thirteen gang members, which makes you scratch your
Speaker 1: head and wonder why our elected officials, who are supposed
Speaker 1: to be re representing the interests of their constituents, would
Speaker 1: care so much about the rapists and murderers and other
Speaker 1: well criminals that are being housed in the facility. They
Speaker 1: also accused Elina Habba, us attorney for New Jersey, of
Speaker 1: repeatedly making interaccurate, inflammatory, and unfair public statements. Haba, the
Speaker 1: US attorney for New Jersey, wrote on Friday, the mayor
Speaker 1: of Newark, Rosbakara, committed trespass and ignored multiple warnings from
Speaker 1: Homeland security investigations to remove himself from the ICE Detention
Speaker 1: Center in New York. His willingly chosen distant, he willingly
Speaker 1: chosen to disregard the law that will not stand in
Speaker 1: this state. He's been taken into custody, so they're now
Speaker 1: talking about maybe arresting the other three elected officials. Here's
Speaker 1: where I thought, this is where the tech part comes
Speaker 1: in and something I've commented on before. Bonnie Watson, one
Speaker 1: of the ones that broke in, claimed on Saturday that
Speaker 1: ICE officials would use in his word or her word,
Speaker 1: manufactured footage to make it appear as though law enforcement
Speaker 1: agents were body slammed during the arrest of Newark Mayor
Speaker 1: roj Pacara.
Speaker 2: Hmm.
Speaker 1: Bonnie Watson Coleman said, we were there for a tour.
Speaker 1: ICE was giving us the run around. We finally got
Speaker 1: into a facility, we heard some noise, We came out.
Speaker 1: We found that the mayor was there, and they were
Speaker 1: and ICE was having conversations with him. They asked him
Speaker 1: to lead the facility. He left the facility. Oh makes
Speaker 1: it paint such a vanilla picture, doesn't it? The host
Speaker 1: on the show, So your interpretation, you know, your use
Speaker 1: of words is very different from the spokesperson for DHS,
Speaker 1: who was on CNN. She used the words body slamming,
Speaker 1: saying that the major and the mayor rather and other
Speaker 1: members of Congress were body slamming, and we're being rough
Speaker 1: with ICE officials. You're disputing that response to Watson Coleman, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so how ridiculous does that sound? There are two hundred pounds.
Speaker 1: We've got about thirty five pounds worth of stuff around them,
Speaker 1: including a gun on their arms. Can tell you what
Speaker 1: I think about what they're saying. President of the United States,
Speaker 1: here we go, pivoting over to Trump. President of the
Speaker 1: United States opens his mouth every day and lies. He
Speaker 1: can can't breathe without lying. He's given permission to his
Speaker 1: cabinet and those who work for him to lie. And
Speaker 1: she's lying too.
Speaker 2: Hmmm.
Speaker 1: Spokes are the interviewers. The d spokesperson I mentioned who
Speaker 1: was on the air earlier, is saying that the videotape,
Speaker 1: the body cam that would be released later would show
Speaker 1: the violent nature of the mayor and others body slamming.
Speaker 1: We don't see that on this videotape, Watson Coleman.
Speaker 2: Here we are.
Speaker 1: This is going to be the default defense for anybody
Speaker 1: who's being accused of a crime. No, if there's any
Speaker 1: such body, any kind of footage, it is footage that
Speaker 1: is manufactured for this purpose. Because I said it before
Speaker 1: and I'll say it again, they are lying. So Trump
Speaker 1: administration is incapable of telling any form of truth whatsoever.
Speaker 1: Ergo anybody within the ministration who has evidence of a crime.
Speaker 1: Don't believe your own eyes. They made it up in
Speaker 1: the world of artificial intelligence. Like I've been warning, this
Speaker 1: is where I see the breakdown in the criminal justice system.
Speaker 1: Reasonable doubt. You go to court and you claim it's fake,
Speaker 1: even though you have no evidence that it's fake. It's
Speaker 1: hard to tell AI created footage from real footage, But
Speaker 1: there it is.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: My retort to that would be, what of the other
Speaker 1: people who are witnesses there? What are the other people
Speaker 1: who are standing around and can confirm the accuracy of
Speaker 1: the video footage itself to the extent they can. So
Speaker 1: you'll have video footage, and then you'll have all this
Speaker 1: witness testimony saying Yep, that's exactly what I saw. That's
Speaker 1: not fake, it's real. It's consistent with my own eyeballs
Speaker 1: and what was going on that day. I'm just worried
Speaker 1: about that. It's six p forty eight right now. If
Speaker 1: you have kc detalk station, feel free to call in.

Speaker 4: Fifty five KRC six.
Speaker 1: Fifty three f fifty five KRC DE talk station and
Speaker 1: Happy Monday to you. Monday Monday with Brian James Jato
Speaker 1: five preceded by Christopher Smithman joined the program every Monday
Speaker 1: at seven twenty and doctor Robert Loan, which what will
Speaker 1: prove to be a very interesting last empower you seminar
Speaker 1: for the spring semester injuries from the COVID nineteen vaccine.
Speaker 1: He'll be on the program at eight forty to talk
Speaker 1: about that. Get a little tease of information. You'll be
Speaker 1: finding out which injuries did COVID mRNA vaccine cause, of course,
Speaker 1: the Trump administration launched Operation Warp Speed. Public didn't understand
Speaker 1: the COVID vaccines being developed were not traditional attenuated virus vaccines.
Speaker 1: It's experimental mRNA biotechnology. And we've learned a lot over
Speaker 1: the years about the significant downside that I've had quite
Speaker 1: a few guests on the more should have talk about
Speaker 1: the research they were doing and people who were metaphorically
Speaker 1: crucified in the medical field lost their license because they
Speaker 1: spoke truth to power and that what they were saying
Speaker 1: at the time ends up being accurate. Just disturbing. I
Speaker 1: feel like you're being lying to. I think there may
Speaker 1: be something to that real quick here, I thought this
Speaker 1: was rather interesting. If your state is having a budget issue,
Speaker 1: then sue Meta if you've got a law that protects
Speaker 1: privacy for the state residence. Google agreed to pay one
Speaker 1: point four billion dollars to the State of Texas to
Speaker 1: settle allegations that they violated the data privacy rights of
Speaker 1: State of Texas residents. Announcement by Attorney General Ken Paxon
Speaker 1: on Friday. Fax And sued Google in twenty two for
Speaker 1: unlawfully tracking and collecting users private data, something Dave hat
Speaker 1: Or warns about all the time. Do not use Meta
Speaker 1: products period into story. That's advised from Dave Hatter Take
Speaker 1: it or leave it. This is kind of proof of
Speaker 1: what Day's been talking about for years on this program,
Speaker 1: Tourny General said. The settlement, which covers allegations in two
Speaker 1: separate lawsuits against the search engine giant, dwarf the past
Speaker 1: settlements by other states with Google for similar violations at
Speaker 1: ten months. This settlement ten months after Packston obtained one
Speaker 1: point four billion dollars settlement for Texas from Meta, parent
Speaker 1: company of Facebook and Instagram to resolve claims of an
Speaker 1: authorized use of biometric data by users on the social
Speaker 1: media platforms, saying in Texas, big tech is not above
Speaker 1: the law. That for years Google secretly track people's movements,
Speaker 1: private searches, and even their voice prints and facial geometry
Speaker 1: through their products and services, so that I fought back
Speaker 1: in one calling it a major win for Texans privacy
Speaker 1: and tells the companies that they will pay for abusing
Speaker 1: the trust. And I always puzzle over this. Do you
Speaker 1: think any of the residents of the state of Texas
Speaker 1: are going to get a slice of the one point
Speaker 1: four billion dollars since it was individuals privacy rights that
Speaker 1: were violated. I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you.
Speaker 1: So anyway, that's a nice windfall for the state of Texas.
Speaker 1: Maybe taking maybe maybe they'll just offer some tax relief
Speaker 1: for the Texans. That wouldn't count on that either. Six
Speaker 1: fifty six. If you have KRC the Talk Station, don't
Speaker 1: go away. Plenty to talk about at the top of
Speaker 1: the air and is I love to hear from you
Speaker 1: though there's something out there you want to talk about.
Speaker 2: Feel free to give me a call. I'll be right back.
Speaker 9: Stay on top of the day's biggest stories at the
Speaker 9: top of the hour.
Speaker 4: That's so important.
Speaker 9: Another update coming up on fifty five KRC the Talk Station.
Speaker 4: This report is sponsored by the.
Speaker 1: Seven oh six. If you've got KRCV talk station, hope
Speaker 1: you're having a happy Monday again, delated Happy Mother's Day
Speaker 1: with all the moms out there.
Speaker 2: Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 1: Spend some time with mom or remembered your mom if
Speaker 1: you no.
Speaker 2: Longer have your mom in your world.
Speaker 1: Five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty eight hundred eight
Speaker 1: two three talk pound five fifty on eight and T
Speaker 1: phones if you care to call, maybe steer the direction
Speaker 1: of the conversation.
Speaker 2: I don't mind that.
Speaker 1: Christopher Smithvan's I'm coming up in the next segment seven
Speaker 1: twenty for the East Smithervan every Monday at seven twenty.
Speaker 1: In the meantime, big story this morning, and it's really
Speaker 1: impacted the market. Futures going crazy this morning. Uh US
Speaker 1: and China agreed to the substantial tariff cuts periminary agreement freezes.
Speaker 1: The Trump tariffs are going to go down to ten percent,
Speaker 1: although the twenty percent tariff on China is because of
Speaker 1: the fentanyl trade that's going to stay in place. But
Speaker 1: the balance of them, they get rid of the one
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five percent tariff, so down to ten percent,
Speaker 1: which is the default tariff on all countries, I mean
Speaker 1: pending some negotiation to resolve them further. The one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy countries out there, and the administration is haggling
Speaker 1: with them. Of course, we edited an agreement with Britain
Speaker 1: last week, which is a great milestone to be crossed.
Speaker 1: So if you build them, they will come to the table.
Speaker 1: I guess that's the idea and Trump. That's what Trump
Speaker 1: predicted would happen. So in the meantime, if you are
Speaker 1: invested in the market, it looks like a good day
Speaker 1: to having been invested in the market, and they've been
Speaker 1: rising all morning. Futures as a consequence of this revelation.
Speaker 1: The Nasdaq is up four percent, a little over four
Speaker 1: percent this morning, the Dow up two point four five percent,
Speaker 1: and the S and P five hundred north of three.
Speaker 1: So you get three point one percent futures increase, which
Speaker 1: according to the reporting, takes us back and we get
Speaker 1: all the gains that we lost after Trump announced the
Speaker 1: tariffs in April. So what we lost then we recovered
Speaker 1: is April second, on Liberation Day, when the tariffs sent
Speaker 1: to the market's into a well bit of a tail spend.
Speaker 1: So that's positive information, and you know there may be
Speaker 1: some light at the end of the tunnel here, so
Speaker 1: keep your fingers crossed. Cooler head prevail and we end
Speaker 1: up with a better deal, which is all Trump was
Speaker 1: looking for in the first instance. And the other big
Speaker 1: story this morning, and we'll wait for the executive order
Speaker 1: to be signed, but he announced yesterday he would be
Speaker 1: signing one to lower pharmaceutical prices here in the United States.
Speaker 1: He said almost immediately, thirty to eighty percent reduction, because
Speaker 1: he's implementing what he's calling the Most Favored Nations policy. Now,
Speaker 1: all the other countries in the world pay a fraction
Speaker 1: of what we pay for pharmaceuticals. It's always been argued that,
Speaker 1: you know, we have to pay the cost of research
Speaker 1: and development. Without the United States pharmaceutical prices being so high,
Speaker 1: no one would have these valuable drugs. But how is
Speaker 1: it that other nations can negotiate a sweetheart deal and
Speaker 1: to the exclusion of the United States. Well, Trump's seeking
Speaker 1: to put an end to that, and I know there's
Speaker 1: going to at least I anticipate litigation. I will be
Speaker 1: instituting a most Favored Nations policy, whereby the United States
Speaker 1: will pay the same price as the nation that pays
Speaker 1: the lowest price anywhere in the world. Our country will
Speaker 1: finally be treated fairly, and our citizens' health care costs
Speaker 1: will be reduced by numbers never thought even, numbers never
Speaker 1: even thought of before, pardon me. Additionally, on top of
Speaker 1: everything else, the US will save trillions of dollars. Well,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be great if it works out. And again,
Speaker 1: all morning, I've been sort of commenting on how the
Speaker 1: Democrats going to react to this, because you know, evil
Speaker 1: Orange Man. If Trump does it, it's bad. But this
Speaker 1: is good for everybody if it works out. And it's
Speaker 1: gonna result in other countries having to pay more for pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 1: It has been noted in the reporting. So they're gonna
Speaker 1: have to get their profits somewhere. There's no way they're
Speaker 1: going to walk away from it. Maybe they'll start charging
Speaker 1: maybe put my friends in Canada more for pharmaceuticals. Apparently
Speaker 1: you can get a sweetheart deal by getting your pharmaceuticals
Speaker 1: through a Canadian pharmacy.
Speaker 2: How is that.
Speaker 1: We'll see how it works out. I'm still the Democrat
Speaker 1: reaction is really what I'm waiting for on that one.
Speaker 1: But I wanted to give props to my friends in Indiana.
Speaker 1: I saw this op ed piece, and you know, charting
Speaker 1: the path for maybe states like Ohio to give students
Speaker 1: choice in education, which does boost their overall scoring. It's
Speaker 1: better education when you have a choice. Indiana a leader
Speaker 1: is Wall Street Journal op ed piece. Indian has been
Speaker 1: a leader in expanding a school choice for K through
Speaker 1: twelve students, and better student achievement results have followed. Now,
Speaker 1: Indiana lawmakers are building on that success by expanding access
Speaker 1: to private and charter schools. Governor Mike Brown last week
Speaker 1: sign a budget that opens school choice to every Hoosier
Speaker 1: girl and boy. State's voucher program already generous, covering about
Speaker 1: six thousand dollars of private school tuition for most families
Speaker 1: earning less than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year,
Speaker 1: the new law eliminates the limits beginning next year. Like
Speaker 1: traditional public schools, the voucher program will no longer turn
Speaker 1: away students based on their family's income. Lawmakers also putting
Speaker 1: charter schools on par with traditional district schools by giving
Speaker 1: charters full access to local property taxes. Journal observes it
Speaker 1: today's school districts in nearly every state have a different
Speaker 1: a direct claim on property tax money, while charters are
Speaker 1: funded through special appropriations. Indiana's reforms will let nearly all
Speaker 1: tax dollars flow or follow students to whichever school they
Speaker 1: choose by twenty twenty nine. Let the money follow the child.
Speaker 1: That's what I have been advocating for for a long time.
Speaker 1: These reforms may save school choice from being smothered down
Speaker 1: the road. Indiana first launch vouchers and expanded charters during
Speaker 1: a period of an enthusiastic reform under Governor Mitch Daniels
Speaker 1: in twenty tens. Mister Brown pledged to push further during
Speaker 1: his campaign last year, but even in a Republican led state,
Speaker 1: these programs face pressure when funding gets tight. The private
Speaker 1: and charter schools tend have stronger records for student achievement.
Speaker 1: Traditional public schools have entrenched constituencies read unions that lobby
Speaker 1: for scarce funds. Allowing more students to attend non traditional
Speaker 1: schools will increase support for choice. More than twenty percent
Speaker 1: of the state students attend a school other than the
Speaker 1: public one for which they're zoned, and that shift is
Speaker 1: accelerated since twenty twenty, and here you go. The difference
Speaker 1: for students is clear. Indiana eighth graders ranked sixth in
Speaker 1: the nation in reading scores in the twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: National Assessment of Education Progress, up from nineteenth in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two. Fourth graders in the state jumped eleven spots
Speaker 1: in the same assessment now are also ranked sixth nationwide.
Speaker 1: Delayed school choice reforms almost collapse in the legislator. State
Speaker 1: senators objected to lifting the voucher limits, afraid that the
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty seventy million dollar cost of expansion
Speaker 1: would strain the budget, but House Speaker Todd Houston struck
Speaker 1: a deal to delay the change the next year and
Speaker 1: to reduce funding for programs such as virtual education to
Speaker 1: offset the cost. The result from expanded choice should be
Speaker 1: enough to protect it from political attacks, but the opponents
Speaker 1: never sleep. The key to choice, the key to choice
Speaker 1: success in the long run, is letting the money flow
Speaker 1: that follow the child, no matter the school, public or private.
Speaker 1: Indiana has taken another step toward that ideal, and I
Speaker 1: love that point that they observe. You know, the expanded
Speaker 1: school choice should be enough to protect it from political attacks.
Speaker 1: Political attacks from who Now, I would say a family,
Speaker 1: regardless of political strife, might embrace this as a concept.
Speaker 1: You get the benefit of the six thousand dollars, You
Speaker 1: get better schools. At least you get to choose what
Speaker 1: schools your children go to. Maybe you have a farm
Speaker 1: feeling and like the public schools your children attend, go there,
Speaker 1: send them There nothing wrong with that if you're satisfied.
Speaker 1: But if you're in a district that isn't up to snuff,
Speaker 1: where the children are behind academically, then you might want
Speaker 1: an option. Republican House, Democrat House.
Speaker 2: You have an option. So who's the only people standing
Speaker 2: in your way?
Speaker 8: This?
Speaker 1: Teachers' unions. The it's going to force competition, It's going
Speaker 1: to force them to step up to the place to
Speaker 1: improve these reading and mathematics scores. But you know what,
Speaker 1: Indiana number six in the nation. I consider that pretty
Speaker 1: gosh darn good. And you should all be proud of yourselves,
Speaker 1: and you should be very happy you live in a
Speaker 1: state where education choice is now established and enshrined in law.
Speaker 1: So I'm jealous on behalf of all highlands here. Maybe
Speaker 1: we can go in that direction, and maybe we can
Speaker 1: start calling our elected officials and say, hey, did you
Speaker 1: see what's going on in Indiana? Their scores improved dramatically.
Speaker 1: The money's following the children, the citizens are pleased. Seven

Speaker 2: To reach new customer seven twenty fifty five k talk station.
Speaker 1: Great time to be tuned into the fifty five Carsee
Speaker 1: Morning Show because every Monday at this time we're blessed.
Speaker 1: But the former Vice mayor of the City Sinna, joined
Speaker 1: the fifty five Cassey Morning Show, Christopher Smithman and what
Speaker 1: we call the smither Vent, getting it out of his
Speaker 1: system for all of us to enjoy. Christopher, welcome back,
Speaker 1: my friend, I hope you had a pleasant Mother's Day,
Speaker 1: I'm sure as a bit melancholy considering the circumstances.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Mother's Day is tough for our family, has to
Speaker 8: be honest. I mean it's a it's a combination of
Speaker 8: celebrating my mom, who were blessed to have, Yeah, but
Speaker 8: also my kids, you know, remembering that they lost their mom.
Speaker 8: So it includes Spring Grove and it includes you know,
Speaker 8: my mom's my mom's dining room table with her home.
Speaker 8: So but I you know, I said, my love, I
Speaker 8: appreciate it you saying earlier. You know, I'm one of
Speaker 8: those people out there were Mother's Day for my kids
Speaker 8: and for myself can be very, very complicated, and I
Speaker 8: appreciate it your noting that in your show. So happy
Speaker 8: Mother's Day to all the mother's. Happy Mother's Day to
Speaker 8: your mom, to your beautiful wife. And yes you did
Speaker 8: how you say it, You punted above.
Speaker 3: Your your your level.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll kick my coverage. You have no question about that. Great, wonderful.
Speaker 8: Absolutely. Well, let me just jump in and say, you know,
Speaker 8: this is National Police Weekend. There's a great tie into
Speaker 8: all of this because this is an opportunity for us
Speaker 8: to to really lift up all peace officers across the
Speaker 8: United States of America, and I certainly have been one
Speaker 8: of the keynote speakers down at UH down at Fountain
Speaker 8: Square on.
Speaker 3: Two or three occasions.
Speaker 8: But tying into this notion that you might have the
Speaker 8: black panthers in town downtown protesting ie for an eye
Speaker 8: and tooth for a tooth during this week in particular,
Speaker 8: and on the backdrop of of of Sheriff Larry Henderson
Speaker 8: being murdered being assassinated by someone, is absolutely outrageous and
Speaker 8: over the top. I don't even know Brian Thomas where
Speaker 8: they're even coming from. Because Sheriff Larry Henderson had nothing
Speaker 8: to do with what occurred between a Cincinnati police officer
Speaker 8: and a young man who had a gun running from
Speaker 8: a car car having been involved in stealing a car.
Speaker 8: I don't know what Sheriff Larry Henderson has to do
Speaker 8: with it. So I don't understand these social posts of
Speaker 8: I four an eye in two for tooth. This was
Speaker 8: a man who was a dad, a husband, and uncle.
Speaker 8: Sounds like I've he heard he was a foster parent.
Speaker 8: He had retired after thirty three years. He was out doing,
Speaker 8: you know, a traffic for the University of Cincinnati's ceremony
Speaker 8: for their graduation. What did he have to do with
Speaker 8: any of it? And I don't understand the connection. I
Speaker 8: really don't. Is one of those things that I sit
Speaker 8: back Brian Thomas and go there is something missing missing
Speaker 8: in our leadership, because we have leadership in Cincinnati that
Speaker 8: is quiet. We have leadership in the county that is quiet.
Speaker 8: What they should be doing, as a former vice mayor
Speaker 8: of Cincinnati, they should have resolutions already submitted on the
Speaker 8: Council on the calendar, going through committee and voting on Wednesday,
Speaker 8: honoring Sheriff Larry Henderson. And this should be coordinated with
Speaker 8: the three county commissioners. This should already be happening. If
Speaker 8: we had a functioning body that had any cahunas, had
Speaker 8: any sense of humanity, these things would already be happening.
Speaker 8: Because people will ask me, well, what do you think
Speaker 8: council and the mayor, and what do you think the
Speaker 8: county commissioners could do? They could introduce resolutions because they
Speaker 8: introduced them about Israel and Hamad all the time. They've
Speaker 8: been doing it for the last year. So I'm saying,
Speaker 8: why wouldn't you go name a street? Why wouldn't you
Speaker 8: be naming a highway, Why wouldn't you be honoring the family,
Speaker 8: Why would you allow the Black Panthers to come in
Speaker 8: town protesting your downtown. And you have no reaction as
Speaker 8: a body in some part of this family where this
Speaker 8: man gave us life, his service, his whole everything for us,
Speaker 8: and you have a council and a mayor and even
Speaker 8: the county commissioners who are all quiet on the issue.
Speaker 8: So that's where I'll start, and I'm sharing with everybody.
Speaker 8: Please don't ever ask me or say what could they do?
Speaker 8: What the body could do is speak this week, this
Speaker 8: week and say we honor this man, and do it
Speaker 8: in a way that you're not putting any disclaimers that
Speaker 8: you're talking about the life of the other child or
Speaker 8: what happened in the city. Honor the sheriff who got
Speaker 8: run over doing nothing and wasn't involved with anything. Good
Speaker 8: place to start.
Speaker 2: It is good place to start.
Speaker 1: And of course it just reflects the broad brush perception
Speaker 1: of the Black Panthers that anyone in any uniform that
Speaker 1: is a public servant in terms of law enforcement are
Speaker 1: treated equally. They're all the same, They paint with the
Speaker 1: same broad brush all of them are racist, all of
Speaker 1: them need to be defunded, and of course the city
Speaker 1: council has been. I mean they're on record as either
Speaker 1: bring quiet and silent in connection with the argument about
Speaker 1: defunding police or supporting the idea that police is somehow
Speaker 1: institutionally racist and defunding them was a good idea. So
Speaker 1: it will be a shift in direction for them to
Speaker 1: actually come out in favor of law enforcement. Under the circumstances,
Speaker 1: I can't see any other way to approach it other
Speaker 1: than what you just pointed out. At least a resolution,
Speaker 1: although having no weight of law or anything, would at
Speaker 1: least relate to a local issue of significant importance and
Speaker 1: that support a local law enforcement. Let's bring Christopher back.
Speaker 1: I know he's got more on his mind for this
Speaker 1: morning's smither Vent a Monday talking with Christopher Smithman in
Speaker 1: this smither vent, Christopher, what else is on your mind?
Speaker 2: Brother?
Speaker 8: I'm going to be a little partisan this morning. I
Speaker 8: don't know what is going on with the Democratic Party.
Speaker 8: I'm lost in their efforts to provide leadership for our country,
Speaker 8: and so, like you and I've been listening to your show,
Speaker 8: I don't understand the mayor and the congressional member, you know,
Speaker 8: storming a location where gang members and rapists and thieves
Speaker 8: are being held who have come into our country illegally.
Speaker 8: People might not even know the story to know that
Speaker 8: that mayor was arrested, but it just looked chaotic and
Speaker 8: for them to be pushing you know, law enforcement, it
Speaker 8: just sends a terrible, terrible message to people and citizens
Speaker 8: in the country. If they wanted to tour the site,
Speaker 8: you just schedule it. Why are you running behind a
Speaker 8: bus that's bringing you know, people that have been arrested
Speaker 8: into the facility and creating such a ruckus. I absolutely
Speaker 8: think that they should be prosecuted to hold them accountable,
Speaker 8: because we just can't have that kind of craziness. And again,
Speaker 8: there are people that are listening to you and I
Speaker 8: talk about it. They can go out there and find
Speaker 8: it so easily. I don't understand what they were doing.
Speaker 8: There's so many other issues that I'd like to see
Speaker 8: them speaking on, Like you were talking about school choice,
Speaker 8: you know, making turning around our public schools across the
Speaker 8: United States of America would be one of those things
Speaker 8: as it relates to education. You know, I don't understand
Speaker 8: what they're doing, and I just don't I'm trying to
Speaker 8: figure out what they were doing and what their purpose
Speaker 8: was that of that Brian talks, well, that's.
Speaker 1: A legitimate question, and I think they're on the losing
Speaker 1: side of the open borders, and that's one of the
Speaker 1: reasons Trump got elected. I think we all can widely
Speaker 1: agree on that. Millions and millions of illegal immigrants let
Speaker 1: into the country and encouraged by the Biden administration to
Speaker 1: come in here, and of course a lot of countries
Speaker 1: we've found out emptied their prisons, sending us the worst
Speaker 1: of the worst who end up on the streets of
Speaker 1: America and do in fact commit violent crime, sometimes against children.
Speaker 1: Human trafficking, the fort of child smuggling increased dramatically, and
Speaker 1: as someone last week referred to Biden as the biggest
Speaker 1: human trafficker that ever lived, because he facilitated that business
Speaker 1: model that cropping up, hmm, open borders. We have an
Speaker 1: opportunity here to ferry some young people in to use
Speaker 1: as sex workers or slaves in America. That happened. The
Speaker 1: drugs that were flowing over the border.
Speaker 2: That happened.
Speaker 1: So Americans are like, well, WHOA, WHOA something's got to
Speaker 1: be done. Trump's in office, like five minutes he shuts
Speaker 1: the border down down to like I mean, the almost
Speaker 1: completely stopped the flow of humanity over the border. Now
Speaker 1: we're dealing with the aftermath, and I think most Americans
Speaker 1: would wish that the elected officials that they put in
Speaker 1: office would prioritize domestic issues and quitting so much time
Speaker 1: with their number one priority defending illegal immigrants, sometimes criminals,
Speaker 1: and doing things like invading that ice space without just
Speaker 1: calling and requesting an appointment, which has been widely reported.
Speaker 1: Had they done that, they would have been welcomed in.
Speaker 1: But you know, you got to deal with safety and
Speaker 1: security issues. These are elected officials. Maybe one of the
Speaker 1: inmates might try to attack them or something. I don't
Speaker 1: know what the logistics are there, but that was a
Speaker 1: proper course to do it, and they chose to do
Speaker 1: otherwise this disruption.
Speaker 2: Yes, go ahead.
Speaker 8: Well, let me just add when I was the vice
Speaker 8: mayor of the City of Cincinnati and I was chairing
Speaker 8: Law and Public Safety, I wanted to tour the Hamilton
Speaker 8: County jail, and so I just simply called up Sheriff
Speaker 8: Neil and said I'd like to schedule a tour of
Speaker 8: the Hamilton County Jail. I didn't go down there with
Speaker 8: a team of people saying i'm processing, let me in,
Speaker 8: and it was very orderly. We were protected by the sheriffs,
Speaker 8: which I still to this day thanked them. We went
Speaker 8: through each of the pods and we were specifically trying
Speaker 8: to understand overcrowding. You're trying to deal with what were
Speaker 8: the mental health issues, meaning who.
Speaker 6: Are we jailing.
Speaker 8: So there was just a purpose of it, and we
Speaker 8: learned a lot from that visit in order to help
Speaker 8: us deal with the costs that the city is paying
Speaker 8: to jail people, meaning we're paying a cost when someone
Speaker 8: is arrested in the city, we pay Hamilton County to
Speaker 8: house those people in our Hamilton County jail. My point
Speaker 8: was of just sharing that is through this process. Brian Thomas,
Speaker 8: So I'm watching this on TV going I know that
Speaker 8: they would have just complied if they just said, hey,
Speaker 8: I like the schedule of digit. All of this profience
Speaker 8: was for them to get on TV. And I just
Speaker 8: don't understand politically why they think trying to break into
Speaker 8: a facility where people who have been arrested have great
Speaker 8: people have murdered, people who are thieves, and who are
Speaker 8: being deported out of the United States of America. I
Speaker 8: don't think they realize that there are people that have
Speaker 8: come to this country in the most orderly way, followed
Speaker 8: the process. They are supporting the deportation of people who
Speaker 8: came illegally because they went through a process. Brian Thomas, So,
Speaker 8: I don't even understand what these congressional members are doing.
Speaker 8: I think they should be prosecuted.
Speaker 1: Well, and that looks like what's going to happen. I
Speaker 1: know the mayor there that was arrested for trespassing, and
Speaker 1: it's widely reported that the three representatives who are there
Speaker 1: for that invasion, if we can call it, that may
Speaker 1: be subject to prosecution as well. It's trespassed. I mean
Speaker 1: if you or I did it, we would be probably
Speaker 1: locked up or at least we'd be out on bail
Speaker 1: by now, but would have been arrested and order to
Speaker 1: appear in court. So how they can be treated differently
Speaker 1: from anybody else's beyond me. But I think politicians are
Speaker 1: used to special treatment and that maybe what they get.
Speaker 8: Let me be clear, I support the First Amendment right,
Speaker 8: I support a peaceful protest that's what makes our country
Speaker 8: this great experiment, the great experiment. It is what I
Speaker 8: don't understand, and people can watch the video themselves, is
Speaker 8: trying to break into a high security facility a jail,
Speaker 8: demanding access that you have access to with just making
Speaker 8: an appointment. I don't get it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't either, Christopher. I think just the idea
Speaker 1: of them just encouraging civil disobedience period, any form of
Speaker 1: civil disobedience. Get out in the streets, you know, violate
Speaker 1: the law, protests, break things, throw frozen water, bottles of police,
Speaker 1: whatever it happens to be, for any given issue that
Speaker 1: seems to be the order of the day. Man, it
Speaker 1: is a terrible direction for the country to go in.
Speaker 1: I think they all sort of fantasize about being you know,
Speaker 1: those nineteen sixties political protesters, you know, fighting for free
Speaker 1: speech or anti Vietnam or whatever. They just seem to
Speaker 1: grab issues that I believe the vast majority of the
Speaker 1: American population is not in favor of, so that it
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2: We mean that.
Speaker 8: When we come back, brother, I'm going to talk a
Speaker 8: little bit about Representative Crockett.
Speaker 6: She's hit my radar.
Speaker 8: She hit my radar. Again, I don't know what she's
Speaker 8: talking about, but she said a lot in the public
Speaker 8: of most recent and she seems to get a lot
Speaker 8: of clickbait out here, But I don't think she understands
Speaker 8: if not for.
Speaker 1: Good stuff, well, and maybe you hit the nail on
Speaker 1: the head clickbait. You know, they're under the mind that
Speaker 1: any press is good press, even if well they're clicking.
Speaker 1: People are clicking because they think she's batcraf insane or
Speaker 1: he is the case. Maybe we'll bring Christopher back for
Speaker 1: that event thing with the former vice mayor of the
Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati. So pivoting over to Representative Jasmine Crockett, Christopher.
Speaker 8: Look, Brian, all of us are out here as parents,
Speaker 8: as Americans trying to raise our kids. Being a member
Speaker 8: of Congress is a tremendous privilege. Representative Crockett has attended
Speaker 8: the best grade schools and high schools and colleges that
Speaker 8: money could buy. And I mean like seventy one thousand
Speaker 8: dollars a year for where she studied and law degrees
Speaker 8: all of that. Right, So this woman is incredibly educated.
Speaker 8: I don't understand. And let me share with you raising
Speaker 8: four boys and one girl. You know there were certain
Speaker 8: rules in our house that you just couldn't cross, Like
Speaker 8: you had to wear a belt, you couldn't walk around
Speaker 8: with your pants hanging down off your butt. You had
Speaker 8: to wake up and say good, I'm gonna type these
Speaker 8: things together, like being respectful, being dignified, being classy. You
Speaker 8: can be, you can have a difference of opinion, but
Speaker 8: how you represent yourself is incredibly important, and particularly in
Speaker 8: the days we're living in now where young people, white, black, Latino,
Speaker 8: Asian need good role models, good examples of how to
Speaker 8: conduct yourself in business. And so to watch your dropping
Speaker 8: f bombs, meaning people have to watch this stuff. You know,
Speaker 8: I'm talking about when she's in her official duties as
Speaker 8: a congressional member on the floor, off the floor, and
Speaker 8: so to see her dropping this this is this weekend.
Speaker 8: You know, her most recent is dropping the word white boy.
Speaker 8: So this in quotations, this is what she's saying. And
Speaker 8: so I'm going, you know, hold on, now, that's racially charged.
Speaker 8: I don't care what you're talking about. Why are you,
Speaker 8: as a member of Congress using that kind of language.
Speaker 8: And by the way, if you if centered, her crews
Speaker 8: had done the same thing, but said black boy right,
Speaker 8: we would be they would be up in arms. Are
Speaker 8: you are you following me? If we just flip the
Speaker 8: script and we say, you know, a senator from Louisiana,
Speaker 8: Senator Kennedy is talking somewhere, giving a formal speech and
Speaker 8: starts talking about grown men, grown African American men and
Speaker 8: calling them black boys. I don't understand what she's doing right,
Speaker 8: what her purpose is, and why other congressional members Democrats, Republicans, Independence,
Speaker 8: whatever the AOC is. I don't know. If they're socialists,
Speaker 8: why are they not coming out and saying, listen, Representative Crockett,
Speaker 8: you must represent your seat with dignity and respect. We
Speaker 8: did that when I was on the floor of Council.
Speaker 8: When I'm chairing a meeting, if one of my colleagues
Speaker 8: got too emotional, they were disrespectful to again, I called
Speaker 8: him out in a very respectful way. Look, a council member,
Speaker 8: I'd like you to take a deep breath. I'm gonna
Speaker 8: I'm gonna give you kind of a minute here to recover.
Speaker 8: I don't like what I'm hearing. You can you can
Speaker 8: say whatever you want to say, just do it in
Speaker 8: a respectful way. We're gonna We're gonna We're gonna move
Speaker 8: to another council member. I just don't understand why we
Speaker 8: have a person who is representing our country and the
Speaker 8: state of Texas where she's mocking the governor who is
Speaker 8: in a wheelchair, which a lot of people don't know
Speaker 8: that the governor of of of of Texas is in
Speaker 8: a wheelchair, and there she is mocking him and his
Speaker 8: disability of being in a wheelchair. I'm lost here, Brian Thomas.
Speaker 8: How is somebody like this elected to our Congress and
Speaker 8: they are not being censured. I don't understand it.
Speaker 2: Uh, well, I don't either.
Speaker 1: She was talking about this in the context of a
Speaker 1: woman running for president, and she said it is the
Speaker 1: fear that the people within the party, within the primary systm.
Speaker 1: She's referring, of course, the Democrats will have about voting
Speaker 1: for a woman, because every time we vote for a woman,
Speaker 1: we've lost so far. And I think that that's a
Speaker 1: natural fear because we just want to win. So there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people that are like, you know what,
Speaker 1: let's just let's go find the safest white boy we
Speaker 1: can find. I mean, I'm just saying again, I'm just
Speaker 1: reading her words. She said, no, for real. It to
Speaker 1: be clear when we talk about them. I can tell
Speaker 1: you there's one specific candidate. I had a donor on
Speaker 1: the phone with me telling me that all the donors
Speaker 1: are lining up because behind that candidate. So I can
Speaker 1: tell and I can tell you it's not a black
Speaker 1: person nor a woman.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: And I thought to myself, well, she wants to check
Speaker 1: these these deiboxes, so she fails to appreciate that maybe
Speaker 1: the women that didn't win not because they were women,
Speaker 1: because they were less qualified. And the American people believe,
Speaker 1: maybe in some measure of merit, or the American people
Speaker 1: liked Donald Trump in terms of policy more than Kamala
Speaker 1: Harrison her word salad, is Kamala Harris really the finest
Speaker 1: candidate that Democrats can run. I don't know they ran her,
Speaker 1: but she lost. I know, I don't believe in a
Speaker 1: minute because she lost because she was a woman, because
Speaker 1: she was black, because she was ditzy and word solid
Speaker 1: filled and didn't have any really issues to stand on.
Speaker 1: She just stand up in man's playing or female ex
Speaker 1: playing things on these boiled down second grade level education
Speaker 1: comments and it didn't make any sense. So we judged
Speaker 1: her on her merit. Is there anybody in the Democrat
Speaker 1: Party that can run for high office motally the president
Speaker 1: of the United States that check marks the boxes, woman
Speaker 1: and black, that can run an adequate race? And if
Speaker 1: there was one, I think one would have emerged by now,
Speaker 1: or maybe one will emerge between now and when people
Speaker 1: start declaring their candidacy for president. But to just say
Speaker 1: that we need a black woman, period, end of story,
Speaker 1: and that should be enough. I just don't find her
Speaker 1: being logical or reasonable. Do you want to win or not?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 8: I would say, if I could give them a hint,
Speaker 8: the person that they would be looking at would be
Speaker 8: somebody like Governor Shapiro out of Pennsylvania. He is he
Speaker 8: he would perform well coming out out of the Midwest.
Speaker 8: But I can't even go to her like analysis of
Speaker 8: what she's talking about because she's so racially charged, and
Speaker 8: the hypocrisy of it, meaning this is coming from a Democrat,
Speaker 8: the hypocrisy of her using it, and there are people
Speaker 8: that are listening to this, going what's the problem.
Speaker 6: There's no issue.
Speaker 8: She's a member of Congress. When you accept that, oh
Speaker 8: you're something other, You're not just this person walking down
Speaker 8: the street. So the standards are high. That's the problem.
Speaker 8: We continue to have this apathy and she continues to
Speaker 8: degrade the institution, and the Congress is going to wake
Speaker 8: up and go why and how did we get here
Speaker 8: where members of Congress think is okay to cuss each
Speaker 8: other out while they're in their official duties in the
Speaker 8: member in the meet, in the middle of a congressional meeting.
Speaker 8: This is how we end up in a bad place
Speaker 8: because we allow people like this to go unchecked. Brian Thomas,
Speaker 8: it's a big issue. It's a problem, and I'm saying
Speaker 8: that that kind of apathy has voters showing up at
Speaker 8: nine to ten percent in the primary. Meaning the point
Speaker 8: is that we all just continue to have this apathy
Speaker 8: and anything we want to do, anything goes. It's not
Speaker 8: we want dignified people. If I want young people to
Speaker 8: walk around with their pants up and wearing a belt,
Speaker 8: if I want a young people to say good morning,
Speaker 8: yes sir and no sir. If I want them to
Speaker 8: be in a mall and not fight each other, right,
Speaker 8: if I want all those things, I want my congressional
Speaker 8: members that are representing me to not use profanity and
Speaker 8: cuss each other out and certainly not use racial slurs.
Speaker 8: Using that term is a racial slur. It is beneath
Speaker 8: the dignity of a member of Congress, and I'm going
Speaker 8: to call her out on it this morning. There are
Speaker 8: people listening Brian Thomas that think it's okay. It's not
Speaker 8: okay because she's a member of Congress. It's not okay
Speaker 8: if she wasn't a member of Congress. But she is
Speaker 8: a member of Congress and she was saying that in
Speaker 8: her official duty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 1: I agree with you completely about the language. And you know,
Speaker 1: there are people on a lot of sides of the
Speaker 1: political ledger. It doesn't matter just not just Democrats that
Speaker 1: are dropping F bombs left and right, And it really
Speaker 1: is just it's a de evolution. They are elected officials,
Speaker 1: as you point out, they should be serving as an
Speaker 1: example of what is right and good and keep the
Speaker 1: level of debate at a friendly level and not so
Speaker 1: vitriolic and just I don't know, man, there was a
Speaker 1: time when you you rarely use the F bomb for
Speaker 1: really anything.
Speaker 2: Christopher.
Speaker 1: It seems to become a something in the modern lexicon
Speaker 1: that people are willing to use all the time. Great
Speaker 1: points that they can.
Speaker 8: Look in conclusion, I couldn't get away with that this
Speaker 8: radio spot with you, right, Brian, You would hold me
Speaker 8: accountable if I did it. You'd call me up after
Speaker 8: the show and say, if you do it again, you
Speaker 8: can't come back on you because I'm going to lose
Speaker 8: my license. That's why you have a dump b Yeah.
Speaker 2: But it's more important than Christopher.
Speaker 1: Even if I didn't have FCC compliance, which I joke
Speaker 1: about all the time. But it doesn't serve you. And
Speaker 1: you've got a future maybe in politics, but you've got
Speaker 1: to You've got your own business as a financial planner.
Speaker 1: I would call you up as a friend and say, listen, man,
Speaker 1: don't do that. It's not serving your interest. Take the
Speaker 1: higher road. Keep the curse words out of it. When
Speaker 1: you're hanging around with buds at a bar, you can
Speaker 1: use them then, but don't don't use them in public
Speaker 1: when you're speaking as well. A prominent member of the community.
Speaker 8: Love to hear from you that that's what Congress, Thank
Speaker 8: you so much. People can follow me on social media
Speaker 8: at boat Smiderman.
Speaker 2: I think Trump does.
Speaker 4: I think she knows doing every day you know. Fifty
Speaker 4: five krc D talk station.
Speaker 2: Tashi Ato six here ifif you abou KRCD talk station.
Speaker 1: I'm very happy Monday to all by Thomas. Always enjoyed
Speaker 1: this time of Monday because you get talked to money Monday.
Speaker 1: Brian James from Allworth Financial going over the issues that
Speaker 1: impact our our savings and our monetary situation and of
Speaker 1: course our retirement plans. Welcome back, Brian James. Great to
Speaker 1: have you on today.
Speaker 11: Thank you very much as always in Happy belated Mother's
Speaker 11: Day to all those mothers out there.
Speaker 1: Amen to that. I've been doing that all morning. Got
Speaker 1: to love your mom. And the landscape of the stories
Speaker 1: we're talking about today, I mean, at least a couple
Speaker 1: of them may start to change. I'm sure you know
Speaker 1: that US and China agreed to the tariff cuts over
Speaker 1: the weekend. Was announced this morning. We're going to keep
Speaker 1: recivical tarafts at ten percent. We got that additional twenty
Speaker 1: percent because China's role in the fentnel trade. But the
Speaker 1: one five percent retaliatory trade loveies on US goods and
Speaker 1: Chinese goods apparently has been put to rest, and we've
Speaker 1: got at least a ninety day pause in those tariffs,
Speaker 1: which got the markets really soaring this morning.
Speaker 2: Futures are up across the board.
Speaker 11: It's going to be a good day according to futures.
Speaker 11: And that's what happens when we get the good news.
Speaker 11: So that this is the one thing, Brian that that
Speaker 11: that kind of keeps keeps should hopefully keep everybody a
Speaker 11: little bit more calm about what happens is this is
Speaker 11: self inflicted. The United States is choosing to represent itself
Speaker 11: differently to the rest of the world in terms of
Speaker 11: being a trade partner. But underneath this, as we're sitting
Speaker 11: here right now, is still a pretty strong economy that
Speaker 11: is ready to roll on once the fog clears. And
Speaker 11: this has happened. This seems to happen about every week
Speaker 11: and a half two weeks. We'll get a snippet of
Speaker 11: good news and the market will bounce up. Right now,
Speaker 11: we're looking at really really high futures. S and P's
Speaker 11: up three percent and everything's up something like three to
Speaker 11: four percent. And that's not because things got wonderful overnight.
Speaker 11: It's because some of the fog clear. That's all the
Speaker 11: market ever wants is some clarity. It wants to be
Speaker 11: able to predict. Here's how companies are going to be
Speaker 11: able to operate, and here's roughly what they're going to
Speaker 11: be able, what kind of profits they're going to be
Speaker 11: able to make, and when we are we're throwing these
Speaker 11: tariffs back and forth at each other left and right.
Speaker 11: There's no way to do that calculation. So at the
Speaker 11: moment the market is saying, okay, cool, I can see
Speaker 11: at least ninety days into the future because we know
Speaker 11: what the tariff situation is going to be with our
Speaker 11: largest trading partner, and a smaller headline was we it
Speaker 11: come to an official agreement with the UK. Now they're
Speaker 11: not a huge trading partner, and I was kind of
Speaker 11: googling this and it basically said we're gonna save hundreds
Speaker 11: of millions on Jaguar and land Rover, so you know,
Speaker 11: some help for the little guy. Finally, the cavalry is coming.
Speaker 11: Pin Thomas, Well, all.
Speaker 1: This on the heels of yes, shipping demand has dropped precipitously.
Speaker 1: Of course, the tariffs have a large role in what
Speaker 1: we're going to be shipping from China to here, and
Speaker 1: of course global shipping apparently it's dropped off a lot.
Speaker 1: Is this all directly related to the tariffs or is
Speaker 1: there some other economic reality lurking behind the scenes on this.
Speaker 11: Brian James, Well, there's always other economic reality, right, There's
Speaker 11: lots of little things pushing and pulling on the overall situation.
Speaker 2: That's always the case.
Speaker 11: But this is all tariff driven, and it's starting to
Speaker 11: feel to me like I don't know if you remember
Speaker 11: December of twenty nineteen, early twenty twenty when we heard
Speaker 11: about a thing called COVID and it was going to
Speaker 11: be coming ashore in the next few months. Well, now
Speaker 11: five years into the future, what we're hearing about is
Speaker 11: the fact that shelves are going to be empty. That's
Speaker 11: what we're starting to see.
Speaker 2: Not the shelves. I mean, I've been to the stores too,
Speaker 2: and don't I don't see it yet.
Speaker 11: However, ports like Los Angeles, Long Beach, New York, New Jersey,
Speaker 11: they are experiencing large drops in cargo, especially from China.
Speaker 11: Import booking volumes down thirty five percent since March. Shipments
Speaker 11: from China down forty three percent. That includes electronics, plastics, vehicles, steel,
Speaker 11: textiles down by more than half. This is going to
Speaker 11: surface eventually. We have yet to see it, but it's coming, well.
Speaker 1: Isn't part of this drop in shipping demand because a
Speaker 1: lot of these businesses and industries front loaded larger orders
Speaker 1: in anticipation of the tariffs ultimately kicking in.
Speaker 2: So you have direct that.
Speaker 1: You have a large increase in shipping followed by a
Speaker 1: drop in shipping because I guess there's limited storage space.
Speaker 1: There's only so much that any given company that buys
Speaker 1: Chinese goods, for example, can buy at any one time,
Speaker 1: even if they're trying to front load. So and plus,
Speaker 1: you know, it really is kind of a tea leaf
Speaker 1: reading kind of thing because you don't know, as we
Speaker 1: kind of alluded to a moment ago, I don't know
Speaker 1: what's going to ultimately happen. And Trump's been busily negotiating
Speaker 1: with one hundred and seventy different countries to come up
Speaker 1: as like Britain, some satisfactory a level of tariffs that
Speaker 1: we can all live and work with, and something that
Speaker 1: might expand the American markets. But that's an ever evolving,
Speaker 1: ever moving landscape. So how much extra stuff do you
Speaker 1: buy anticipating tariffs are going to cause you a financial problem.
Speaker 1: It's like if you own a restaurant, how much meat
Speaker 1: do you buy at the beginning of the week. How
Speaker 1: many people are going to order stakes you know you're
Speaker 1: going to have losses. Are you gonna overbuy and have
Speaker 1: to throw things out? It's a complicated thing.
Speaker 2: It really is.
Speaker 11: And that's why a lot of smart financial brains get
Speaker 11: paid a lot of money to understand exactly what their
Speaker 11: companies need. Unfortunately, the average American doesn't really have the
Speaker 11: ability to do this, with the exception of toilet paper,
Speaker 11: which is the first thing to go whenever it snows
Speaker 11: and whenever we have pandemics apparently. But yeah, so this
Speaker 11: is simply a business decision where they're just saying, Okay,
Speaker 11: it looks like it's going to get a little crazy
Speaker 11: in the next few months.
Speaker 2: We really need to.
Speaker 11: Stock up on this, that, and the other, but we're
Speaker 11: going to ignore these other things. And so what you saw,
Speaker 11: that's what triggered the economic poolback in the United States
Speaker 11: are our most recently reported economic quarter was negative. We
Speaker 11: don't call that a recession until we have two quarters
Speaker 11: in a row. But that was kind of self inflicted
Speaker 11: from a standpoint of because these tariffs were in place.
Speaker 11: For the exact reason you just mentioned, companies and businesses
Speaker 11: started buying a lot more from overseas therefore a lot
Speaker 11: less than the United States. So arguably as possible, you
Speaker 11: could be looking for a bit of a perk up
Speaker 11: in the United States domestic purchases as long as those
Speaker 11: products that these businesses need are available from the United States.
Speaker 11: Nothing magical happened in the first quarter to suddenly create
Speaker 11: factories where there were none. There are things we can't
Speaker 11: get from anywhere else. That's why there's a lot of
Speaker 11: businesses out there suffering. And I'm assuming there's somebody screaming
Speaker 11: at their windshield right now saying, hey, that doesn't help me.
Speaker 2: I can't buy domestically.
Speaker 11: I have to I got to kind of take it
Speaker 11: in the pants here until we get these tariffs cleared up.
Speaker 1: And I keep thinking of going back to COVID about that.
Speaker 1: That's when we sort of all came to the realization that,
Speaker 1: you know, we don't manufacture a lot of things that
Speaker 1: you know, are critical to our even our nation's security.
Speaker 1: Pharmaceuticals came into mind immediately when like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: we rely on China for all of these, including the
Speaker 1: pharmaceuticals our members in uniform have if we had been
Speaker 1: sort of conflict, China just flips the switch and doesn't
Speaker 1: sell them to us anymore. So there are reasons other
Speaker 1: than tariffs for US to have some measure of incentive
Speaker 1: to start manufacturing either with countries with whom we have
Speaker 1: no conflict, or at least start manufacturing them in here
Speaker 1: in the United States. But as you illust as you
Speaker 1: point out, it takes time to ramp up, and it
Speaker 1: also comes as that it is at a significantly higher
Speaker 1: cost because of the imbalance in labor between US and China.
Speaker 11: Yeah, a lot of this comes from the fact that
Speaker 11: the United States was founded and grew to its current
Speaker 11: size based on the idea of being the United States
Speaker 11: of profit margin. Everything we can possibly do, everything we
Speaker 11: can squeeze profit out.
Speaker 2: That's just the way that we roll. So you talk
Speaker 2: about we.
Speaker 11: Want to bring pharmaceuticals on shore somehow, some way, someone
Speaker 11: is looking at that as Okay, I can do that.
Speaker 11: I can build a factory that's going to do that,
Speaker 11: and here's on what profit margin I want to make
Speaker 11: out of it. Nobody here in this country who waves
Speaker 11: a red, white and blue flag looks at that and says,
Speaker 11: you know what, I'm going to do that for the
Speaker 11: good of the people. I'm not saying that's a good thing,
Speaker 11: but that is how we make decisions, and everybody does it,
Speaker 11: include I'll throw the unions in there too. It's expensive
Speaker 11: to build stuff here because of the protections we have
Speaker 11: in place for workers. There are union leadership out there
Speaker 11: who they of course they get paid to kind of
Speaker 11: bring these deals to fruition just like anybody else. People
Speaker 11: who make profits by creating products and services are really
Speaker 11: no different than the people who create a long running
Speaker 11: positions for themselves by leading a group of people in
Speaker 11: a union. Not good, bad, or in different, but all
Speaker 11: of it winds up costing more and that trickles all
Speaker 11: the way back down to the consumer. That's kind of
Speaker 11: the whole point of the United States. We are here
Speaker 11: to make a profit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And in spite of the true you illustrate, you know,
Speaker 1: we are kind of a global economy anymore, which gives
Speaker 1: us options of manufacturing in places like China where it's cheaper.
Speaker 1: But over the last several years we've seen a lot
Speaker 1: new a lot of new investment in very large businesses
Speaker 1: in industry, and a lot of it does seem to
Speaker 1: be taking place. So in spite of those challenges, apparently
Speaker 1: there is still some profit in building something here in
Speaker 1: the United States, like these battery manufacturing plants or these
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence plants and other things.
Speaker 2: Right there is And that's the thing to bear in mind.
Speaker 11: If we were in truly in the seventies where we
Speaker 11: had stagflation, but it occurred kind of organically, and I
Speaker 11: mean that. What I mean by that is that there
Speaker 11: are plenty of catalysts right now that are happening. Technology
Speaker 11: has been a catalyst for fifteen twenty years. It kind
Speaker 11: of changes with regard to what the technology is it's driving.
Speaker 11: You know, twenty years ago it was mobile devices and
Speaker 11: the move to kind of move being able to be
Speaker 11: anywhere and do your job and so on and so forth,
Speaker 11: and that has cycled forth to now to what you
Speaker 11: just mentioned article official Intelligence, which I can't imagine that's
Speaker 11: not touching absolutely every industry very very very rapidly. But
Speaker 11: that's a catalyst for companies to become more efficient, increase
Speaker 11: their profit margin, and lots of companies are going to
Speaker 11: want to invest in supporting it because there's a lot
Speaker 11: of money to be made in So underneath all of this,
Speaker 11: when we stop smacking each other around, there is a
Speaker 11: strong economy and the dollars are still moving around in
Speaker 11: a circle. It just depends on how much longer we
Speaker 11: want to It's a big game of chicken. How much
Speaker 11: longer are we going to have these fights with our
Speaker 11: various trading partners.
Speaker 1: Well continue with Brian James. Empty shelves maybe maybe not
Speaker 1: student loans they are coming do? And is there going
Speaker 1: to be a housing market correction? Those subjects with all

Speaker 1: Brian James from all Worth answer, he's a financial planner

Speaker 1: side of the table and they OEU a fiduciary obligation
Speaker 1: which means you need to get a fee blazed financial
Speaker 1: planner and let them handle the heavy load on managing
Speaker 1: things on a day to day basis, taking the stress
Speaker 1: off of your world. Brian James pivoting over real quick
Speaker 1: to a related story with the empty the global shipping
Speaker 1: grinding down is and I've seen these red flags wave
Speaker 1: and you know, whaling and gnashing your teeth, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: And a lot of it's driven, I think, by Trump
Speaker 1: arrangement syndrome. But there is something to be said that,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're going to have these massive tariffs,
Speaker 1: the idea of having empty shells is certainly a possibility.
Speaker 1: But I suppose it depends on what you're looking for.
Speaker 1: So are we going to see a bunch of empty
Speaker 1: shells and four lease signs the headline headline opinion, empty shells,
Speaker 1: four lease signs and job layoffs point to a recession
Speaker 1: by summer? Geez, you and I've been talking about a
Speaker 1: possible recession now for quite a few years.
Speaker 11: Brian, Well, I think we're always talking about the possibility
Speaker 11: of a recession, right, We're never We're we are never
Speaker 11: not on our way to the next recession that's always
Speaker 11: coming up, right, So it's also going to rain, maybe today,
Speaker 11: maybe a month from now.
Speaker 2: But by god, one of these days, I'm going to
Speaker 2: be right about it.
Speaker 11: So, yeah, we're currently if when you look at the
Speaker 11: current situation, which is about as fluid as it can be,
Speaker 11: things are changing, you know, they change over the weekend,
Speaker 11: they go from black to white. So if you look
Speaker 11: at the current situation, then yes, it does look like
Speaker 11: we're on our way to a recession that is triggered
Speaker 11: by this. But I think the reference you were making
Speaker 11: there earlier is that that up until very recently, everyone
Speaker 11: was looking for the second leg down from COVID. We
Speaker 11: only recently stopped talking about that. And I think I've
Speaker 11: kind of learned the definition, Brian, of a soft landing.
Speaker 11: I think a soft landing is at some point you
Speaker 11: realize you haven't talked about it in months, and therefore
Speaker 11: that was a soft landing. We never declare that, Okay,
Speaker 11: it's all over. You know, everybody back and pull, everything's great.
Speaker 11: We just stopped talking about it until the next one
Speaker 11: comes along, and here we are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a funny way of looking at it.
Speaker 1: But you're right, it's right around the corner, maybe a
Speaker 1: little bit further down the road when you hit that corner.
Speaker 1: But something bad is always going to. But but then again,
Speaker 1: something good will always happen too. Like I mean today,
Speaker 1: you know, if the futures are indications where they are
Speaker 1: right now turn out to be true, it's going to
Speaker 1: erase all of the losses when since the day Donald
Speaker 1: Trump announced the tariffs kicked in place. At least that's
Speaker 1: what I read this morning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we are clawing our way back to back to zero.
Speaker 11: Really, the S and P five hundred is only down
Speaker 11: as we're sitting here right now about four percent.
Speaker 2: That does not yet reflect the futures.
Speaker 11: So if futures kick in, you know, if this market
Speaker 11: kicks in where the futures are, then yes, we'll be
Speaker 11: back to even ish at least at the open. Let's
Speaker 11: see what happens, you know, around ten thirty when we
Speaker 11: all get our second cup of coffee'll the out comes right.
Speaker 11: But at this point the market is recovering. And again
Speaker 11: you mentioned Trump arrangement syndrome. The market hates question. It
Speaker 11: doesn't necessarily hate any politician or any political beliefs. It
Speaker 11: simply hates lack of clarity. And we have for sure
Speaker 11: had lack of clarity over the past several months. And
Speaker 11: that's what as we start to get these deals across
Speaker 11: the finish line. That's what seems to be clearing up.
Speaker 11: The other thing, too, is we're starting to hear some
Speaker 11: pretty strong political voices say, hey, don't forget me, I
Speaker 11: have to run for reelection here over the next few years.
Speaker 11: Ted Cruz, Grassley and Ram paulse of being some of
Speaker 11: those big voices who are going to remind the president
Speaker 11: that they themselves are up and available to be re
Speaker 11: elected and would very much like to win those elections.
Speaker 11: So we can't keep smacking people around, right.
Speaker 1: And then they're doing that budget reconciliation thing, and you've
Speaker 1: got all everybody on the Republican side of the ledger
Speaker 1: and they're hoping you have one hundred percent uniformity in
Speaker 1: terms of a yes vote on that. They're all fighting
Speaker 1: for turf and some of them want to keep the
Speaker 1: salt deductions as they are. Some of them are saying,
Speaker 1: if you don't raise those, we're going to pull the plug.
Speaker 1: We're not going to vote yes on this. Others are
Speaker 1: pushing to keep the Green New Deal stuff flowing to
Speaker 1: their states other than saying no, we get rid of
Speaker 1: all of it. So there's a whole lot of uncertainty
Speaker 1: sewed into that particular thing, which includes whether or not
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's tax cuts will be made permanent. So I
Speaker 1: suppose those things might cause some market on stability for sure,
Speaker 1: because somebody's going to win these arguments. Right now, we're
Speaker 1: just in the shouting. Maybe we're starting to exit the
Speaker 1: shouting stage and move toward the Okay, what are we
Speaker 1: actually going to do here? And the various parties are
Speaker 1: going to gain something as well as lose something. That's
Speaker 1: the only way these things ever get resolved. But we're
Speaker 1: going to have the willingness for that to actually happen.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 11: We've seen that with UK. Apparently we're going to get
Speaker 11: it with China here at least for the next ninety days.
Speaker 11: And it does appear that all these tariffs and things
Speaker 11: are more of a negotiating tactic than an intended, real
Speaker 11: permanent type of a situation.
Speaker 2: Which if that's the case, then so be it.
Speaker 11: And I hope we'll come through this a little bit stronger,
Speaker 11: but a little more bumpiness to come from the short
Speaker 11: run for sure.
Speaker 1: Indeed, well, we'll find out about well, something that may
Speaker 1: impact your financial world. Your student loan is now doe
Speaker 1: and there may be a housing market correction come in

Speaker 2: Yeah.

Speaker 1: All right, real quick, I guess the writings on the wall.
Speaker 1: Student loans are due. You knew they were going to
Speaker 1: be due at some point when you sign on the
Speaker 1: bottom line and promise to pay them back, but some
Speaker 1: people think they were going to get a free pass
Speaker 1: things to the Biden administrations ever to buy votes. Never
Speaker 1: understood how this was so popular. I mean, majority of
Speaker 1: people in America do not have college degrees, yet it
Speaker 1: was on their shoulders. College degrees were going to be forgiven.
Speaker 1: This is kind of common as a cost of the
Speaker 1: American taxpayer, which just never seemed quite fair to me. Brian, Hey,
Speaker 1: you may have got a degree and allows you one.
Speaker 1: It didn't provide a return on investment, but you did it,
Speaker 1: eyes wide open, and time to pay the piper.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's coming around.
Speaker 11: So there's five million borrows out there whose loans are
Speaker 11: in default, and about two hundred thousand of them are
Speaker 11: going to start receiving notices from the Treasury Department notifying
Speaker 11: them that benefits and tax refunds are going to be
Speaker 11: withheld pretty soon, starting in the next month.
Speaker 2: So we're just getting to the.
Speaker 11: Point where, remember it was almost two years ago that
Speaker 11: the Supreme Court struck down Biden's idea that we were
Speaker 11: going to wipe away student loans. I did have a
Speaker 11: lot of clients, I shouldn't say a lot of it,
Speaker 11: enough that I remember talking about it who were helping
Speaker 11: their kids with student loans, or perhaps had student loans
Speaker 11: themselves only just recently with maybe this year or Q
Speaker 11: four last year, who kind of gave up on the
Speaker 11: notion that this was ever going to come around. So
Speaker 11: people were still kind of hanging on to even though
Speaker 11: the Supreme Court shot it down. Maybe politically, somebody else
Speaker 11: is going to come forward with a well, we are
Speaker 11: at the We're about as far away from that as
Speaker 11: we can be. The people who are hearing today are
Speaker 11: the ones who are getting payments from the federal government
Speaker 11: for various reasons benefits, tax refunds, of course, and if
Speaker 11: they are federal employees themselves, some of that is going
Speaker 11: to start being withheld starting next month to make student
Speaker 11: debt repayment a big priority for the Trump administration.
Speaker 1: In a form of what wage garnishments correct.
Speaker 11: Oh, yeah, lots of way you have the wage garnishments,
Speaker 11: or if you are on another federal benefit pension, some
Speaker 11: people are, believe it or not, Some people have student
Speaker 11: loans and are also on a federal pension. They've let
Speaker 11: them roll for years and years and years. If you're
Speaker 11: getting payments from the federal government and you're in default
Speaker 11: or near default on your student loans, you can rest
Speaker 11: assured they're going to make that connection. That's part of
Speaker 11: what DOGE has been doing, trying to connect the entities
Speaker 11: that pay that send outgoing payments to people with the
Speaker 11: other entities that are receiving payments.
Speaker 2: From those people.
Speaker 11: If you're on both of those lists, then they're going
Speaker 11: to kind of net out the math and say, you
Speaker 11: owe us this, so we're not going to give you
Speaker 11: that payment.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: I hope ultimately this results in some changes at universities
Speaker 1: and that they have some somewhat of a fiduciary abligation
Speaker 1: to sit young people down before they engage and embark
Speaker 1: on this borrowing, to point out the value on the
Speaker 1: real market of what that particular subject matter they plan
Speaker 1: on majoring in.
Speaker 2: Has.
Speaker 1: I mean, is there a job before an art major?
Speaker 1: Are you planning on going into debt one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars to get an art degree? I don't
Speaker 1: want to pick on that particular degree, but I had
Speaker 1: to imagine in the world, and I always us Southey's
Speaker 1: as an example. There are only so many jobs available
Speaker 1: at the at Southeast, and where are you going to work?
Speaker 1: A lot of people work for free as docents in museums.
Speaker 1: They don't get paid for it, So then the university
Speaker 1: have some sort of obligation to point that out up front.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you would hope, but I don't think they do.
Speaker 2: And I think back too.
Speaker 11: So I went to a high university out in Athens,
Speaker 11: and when I was finishing up, they were building what's
Speaker 11: called the Ping Center, which is a nice student building
Speaker 11: where you can exercise and all kinds of stuff. And
Speaker 11: early on, before it even opened, they started hitting everybody
Speaker 11: with a search charge on your tuition because somebody had
Speaker 11: to pay for this. It wasn't going to open until
Speaker 11: after my wife and I graduated, but we were paying
Speaker 11: for it, and I remember there being articles in the
Speaker 11: local paper about the fight that OU and every other
Speaker 11: school has to be in to attract students. They have
Speaker 11: to be able to say we have cooler facilities than
Speaker 11: these other places. Good, bad are indifferent. People will pay
Speaker 11: for it and that's what universities have done for twenty
Speaker 11: and thirty years and longer than that. In one of
Speaker 11: those articles was a story about one of these schools
Speaker 11: that had a giant student hot tub, which just sounded
Speaker 11: like the most disgusting thing. Even I, as an idiot
Speaker 11: college student, was grossed out by that. Yeah, but that
Speaker 11: was touted as an attraction. That's the environment that we've
Speaker 11: been in for a long time.
Speaker 1: It is, But I would think that them advertising their
Speaker 1: success in getting people employed at graduation would be the
Speaker 1: biggest dangling carret of incentive to go to any given university,
Speaker 1: pivoting over market correction for housing? Is this a positive
Speaker 1: market correction? Oh well, we'll see. So this is coming
Speaker 1: out of Texas.
Speaker 11: Texis is a little bit of a microcosm here undergoing
Speaker 11: a significant correction, oversupplied, declining demand, and affordability issues listings.
Speaker 11: Housing listings reached one hundred and twenty three thousand last April,
Speaker 11: which is fifty three percent higher than normal. It's the
Speaker 11: fourth most oversupplied housing market in the US. And I
Speaker 11: remember I have a lot of people of friends of
Speaker 11: mine who ended up moving to Dallas for job purposes.
Speaker 11: There was a ton of jobs out there because that's
Speaker 11: just the better tax situation, and also the idea that
Speaker 11: there is so much land down there, it doesn't cost
Speaker 11: much to just build a new neighborhood. So nobody, none
Speaker 11: of these folks, I'm thinking over the past fifteen twenty years,
Speaker 11: none of these folks were buying used well, old existing houses.
Speaker 11: They were all building because it was just so cheap
Speaker 11: because there is so much land and so much space
Speaker 11: to build out there.
Speaker 2: Well, Texas leaned into that. Now we have an oversupply,
Speaker 2: so they're expecting the impact is going to be potential
Speaker 2: four percent drop statewide in the value of houses looking
Speaker 2: for affordability challenges are going to last throughout twenty twenty five,
Speaker 2: and it's still going to be about overvalued by about
Speaker 2: ten twelve percent by the end of the year.
Speaker 1: Well, at least it's getting closer to the realm of
Speaker 1: affordability for notably the first time buyers. I would argue,
Speaker 1: but I think interest rates are going to have to
Speaker 1: drop before some of these houses become really within the
Speaker 1: grasp of financial reality for a lot of people. And
Speaker 1: if that happens, of course, the market could flip then,
Speaker 1: couldn't it.
Speaker 11: Yeah, absolutely, and then it could turn pretty quickly because
Speaker 11: that the forces that drove this migration to Texas. Remember
Speaker 11: a few years ago, it didn't matter where we live.
Speaker 11: We all got the idea, I can live wherever I want.
Speaker 11: Some people said, the heck with it. I don't want
Speaker 11: winter and I don't want taxis. I'll just go to Texas.
Speaker 11: And that created a boom, and the builders overran the
Speaker 11: boom and just kept building, building building until the actual
Speaker 11: demand stopped.
Speaker 1: Demand stop when people realize when they moved there, Damn,
Speaker 1: it's hot here. It's really really in the right. Why
Speaker 1: did I move to Houston. It's like walking through of
Speaker 1: hot water in the summertime. Brian James always financial, appreciate

Speaker 1: and against public health and medical mandates, actively campaigning against
Speaker 1: censorship and propaganda campaigns led by the governments and globalists.
Speaker 1: And of course we've talked to other guests who struggled
Speaker 1: and suffered themselves as a consequence of them speaking truth
Speaker 1: to power. Some of them had their licenses pulled. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the fifty five Case Morning Show, doing the Empower
Speaker 1: Youth Seminar tomorrow night, beginning at seven pm. Doctor Malone,
Speaker 1: it's a pleasure to have you here on the program today.
Speaker 3: Well thanks for having me on. I hope it's a
Speaker 3: great day where you are. It's looking like we're going
Speaker 3: to get a little bit of rain here in Virginia.
Speaker 3: So what do you want to talk about.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about moderna doing mass clinical trials
Speaker 1: on the entire universe of people here in the world
Speaker 1: with untested vaccines. As you point out, emergency use authorization
Speaker 1: was given because oh my god, it's a pandemic. We
Speaker 1: got to let these vaccines come out because we need
Speaker 1: them to stave off this pandemic. But we're going to
Speaker 1: free the pharmaceutical companies from any live associated with these.
Speaker 1: As you point out, and I know you're going to
Speaker 1: talk about at length tomorrow evening, these were not tested
Speaker 1: and what I learned from your materials is that they
Speaker 1: had tried mRNA technology and they had failed and never
Speaker 1: could get FDA approval. When they started using them and
Speaker 1: endeavoring to treat other conditions they were working on. Can
Speaker 1: you explain a little bit of that to my listening audience.
Speaker 3: So, Maderna's business model was originally focused on cancer and
Speaker 3: cancer vaccines. And you'll recall this is the area that
Speaker 3: was highlighted during the first day after President Trump became president,
Speaker 3: when there was the whole discussion and controversy around the
Speaker 3: Stargate initiative for artificial intelligence. The promise, let's say or
Speaker 3: hope and we all wish that we had something like
Speaker 3: a personalized cancer vaccine that would take away our risk
Speaker 3: of this deadly disease. But the history of cancer vaccines
Speaker 3: has been one of, let's say, gently broken promises or
Speaker 3: dashed hopes. And that's a very long history of decades,
Speaker 3: literally my entire career. And there are fundamental underlying issues
Speaker 3: having to do with the role of the immune system
Speaker 3: human immune system, which basically is our main defense against cancer,
Speaker 3: particularly cellular immunity. And I don't want to get too
Speaker 3: deep into the science here for Radio Hit, but it
Speaker 3: turns out that things are a lot more complicated than
Speaker 3: Wall Street investors are often sold on. But it's a
Speaker 3: reliably the potent strategy to try to pitch these cancer
Speaker 3: vaccine companies. So that's where Maderna started, and predictably that
Speaker 3: business model failed and they really only got rescued when
Speaker 3: Tony Fauci, largely with the NIH Vaccine Research Center, together
Speaker 3: with backing from DARPA Defense or Reduction Agency, and a
Speaker 3: number of others. Now we know us A, i D,
Speaker 3: pushed forward these mRNA products I'm going to call them
Speaker 3: for ostensibly preventing COVID disease. And unfortunately those products were
Speaker 3: promoted without adequate pre clinical or clinical studies that normally
Speaker 3: would take up to a decade, and not too surprisingly
Speaker 3: a number of unexpected consequences let's say, you know, the
Speaker 3: technical term would be adverse events which include death by
Speaker 3: the way ensued and nobody was allowed to question it,
Speaker 3: and nobody was provided informed consent. I think the most
Speaker 3: powerful statement I've heard come out of d C about
Speaker 3: all this was a Secretary Hegsworth, the Defense Secretary of Defense.
Speaker 3: Hegsworth's comment that these were never licensed, the products that
Speaker 3: were deployed in the d D, and these mandates were illegal.
Speaker 3: So that's that's where things stand right now. DC remains
Speaker 3: in deny, denial over what they have their fingers all over.
Speaker 3: I mean, Tony Fauci didn't do this in a vacuum.
Speaker 3: It was actively enabled by many powerful people in both
Speaker 3: houses in it.
Speaker 1: I'm troubled by so much of this information, and I
Speaker 1: have been for a while. But as you point out,
Speaker 1: and you're going to talk about this again tomorrow night,
Speaker 1: seven pm in Poweroamerica dot org, they had tried these
Speaker 1: RNA based treatments on a variety of different things, maybe
Speaker 1: cancer is one of them, as you're suggesting before, at
Speaker 1: the animal testing phase, and they had to stop them
Speaker 1: because they were far too dangerous to test on humans.
Speaker 1: Is it the RNA type of vaccine that in and
Speaker 1: of itself poses these challenges or that just that they
Speaker 1: didn't get it right as to whatever particular disease state
Speaker 1: they were working on. Because if all this information suggests
Speaker 1: mRNA based treatments are dangerous, why in the hell would
Speaker 1: they push to advance them on the general population.
Speaker 3: So, in terms of your question, it's kind of all
Speaker 3: of the above, and particularly in a case of COVID,
Speaker 3: because clearly the spike protein is E toxin and that's
Speaker 3: another thing that was suppressed, considered controversial, not allowed to
Speaker 3: be said. But it's true. It's another unfortunate truth. But
Speaker 3: you ask why why all the impetus for this is
Speaker 3: a number of them, and one of them is that
Speaker 3: this represents a whole new domain for product development, which
Speaker 3: basically creates a gold rush for pharma because they can
Speaker 3: circumvent prior art and prior patents by using this new
Speaker 3: technology or composition of matter, which is now freely available
Speaker 3: because the patents that I worked on back in the
Speaker 3: late eighties and early nineties have all expired. So the
Speaker 3: fundamental underlying tech that underpins all of this is now
Speaker 3: public domain because the patents have expired. So for pharma,
Speaker 3: this is a gold rush. And the positioning has been
Speaker 3: from the let's say, by defense industrial complex that this
Speaker 3: technology will scratch there it solve a major pain point,
Speaker 3: which is that it takes up to a decade to
Speaker 3: develop a new vaccine, and that it's the combination of
Speaker 3: those two things, the gold rush and pharmacy perception that
Speaker 3: this represents a whole big area of commercial opportunity, and
Speaker 3: the logic that this solves this huge problem that it
Speaker 3: takes a decade to develop a new vaccine and we're
Speaker 3: constantly bombarded by all this fear promoted fear from the
Speaker 3: industry that we're going to get overwhelmed by highly pathogenic
Speaker 3: infectious diseases coming out of the jungle because of global warming.
Speaker 3: I mean, the narrative just goes.
Speaker 1: On, Oh yeah, I've heard it all before. Or you
Speaker 1: build them in a in a wuhan instead of virology
Speaker 1: and you unleash them on the globe by accident or
Speaker 1: by intention. Now, but if these mRNA vaccines are inherently
Speaker 1: dangerous or post them inherently dangerous risks based on the
Speaker 1: technology is being used, they're not necessarily going to get
Speaker 1: emergency use authorization for any new vaccines they roll out.
Speaker 1: Those will be subject to obligations to do clinical trials,
Speaker 1: and if history is any guide, then they'll probably fail
Speaker 1: in the clinical trials and never be rolled out.
Speaker 2: Isn't that sort of true?
Speaker 3: Well, so this is why all of the uproar over
Speaker 3: the HHS and Bobby Kennedy and Martin McCarty initiatives that
Speaker 3: all new vaccines are going to have to be tested
Speaker 3: against a true placebo or negative control. Right. The industry
Speaker 3: hates this because they have been masking some of the
Speaker 3: adverse events associated with a wide variety of vaccines which
Speaker 3: are intrinsically inflammatory by comparing them to other vaccines rather
Speaker 3: than comparing them to a true control This is the
Speaker 3: book Turtles All the Way Down, is just a fantastic
Speaker 3: discussion of how this has been built and what the
Speaker 3: modern consequences are. It's kind of a house of cards
Speaker 3: that's been built up over decades. And I got to
Speaker 3: admit I bought into that. I bought into the logic
Speaker 3: that it was unethical to test a new vaccine against
Speaker 3: a true placebo. This is what I've been taught again
Speaker 3: and again and again. It was all drilled into you.
Speaker 3: But I've come to recognize that that was wrong, that ethically,
Speaker 3: that logic is flawed.
Speaker 1: I certainly understand that that's where the control population is
Speaker 1: supposed to come from, so you can compare it against
Speaker 1: the general public who have not gotten the new vaccine.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, doctor, you know I could talk to
Speaker 1: you for hours. I think, Doctor Malone, we're going to
Speaker 1: get an hour and change tomorrow night, seven pm. And
Speaker 1: I know, for example, red flag for you have to
Speaker 1: address it. A lot of my listeners believe this this
Speaker 1: was rolled out for the purposes of population control. I've
Speaker 1: talked to some physicians who know about thousands of patients
Speaker 1: who lost their babies in utero and mothers of head
Speaker 1: at menstrual problems and things along. So is perhaps something
Speaker 1: is there a connection there?
Speaker 2: Perhaps?
Speaker 3: So my position on that is, at first, you know,
Speaker 3: like I used to say that the Great Reset, I
Speaker 3: used to think the Great Reset was a conspiracy theory,
Speaker 3: and then I read Klaus Schwab's book called the Great Reset. Yeah, right, Okay,
Speaker 3: so it is population control a conspiracy? If you read
Speaker 3: the Henry Kissinger report that is now a fundamental aspect,
Speaker 3: it is integrated into American foreign policy that talks about
Speaker 3: population control, you'll realize that this is a real thing. Okay,
Speaker 3: that the connecting that federal policy position about really depopulation
Speaker 3: to what happened here is speculation.
Speaker 1: Its speculation, but it's but it's a it's a logical
Speaker 1: leap for people out there.
Speaker 3: And I wish I can fully understand why people make
Speaker 3: that connection, but uh it, it has all kinds of implications,
Speaker 3: and uh until personally, until I see you know, some
Speaker 3: email proof, right, Uh, then then I'm going to kind
Speaker 3: of hold hold, keep your.
Speaker 1: Power, keep your powder dry. I wish you had more
Speaker 1: time doctumn. We are way out of time. We'll listen
Speaker 1: to you tomorrow night, seven pm and power you America
