Speaker 2: as I always do. Feel free to call five one, three, seven,
Speaker 2: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two
Speaker 2: to three taco with pound five fifty if you have
Speaker 2: an AT and T phone.
Speaker 1: Where to start?
Speaker 2: How about immigration, calling it shock and awe, ICE gathering
Speaker 2: up record numbers of folks over the weekend and throughout
Speaker 2: last week. Government Deportation Force said it made nearly one
Speaker 2: thousand new arrests yesterday alone, four to a total about
Speaker 2: twenty four hundred. And I must note they obviously ICE
Speaker 2: knows where these folks are. The criminal illegal immigrants they're
Speaker 2: having such great success rounding them up. Clearly they know
Speaker 2: the location of where these folks.
Speaker 1: Are hanging out.
Speaker 2: Dozens of gang members, migrants tied to the trade, the
Speaker 2: Aragua Gang, convicted murderers, habitual drunken drivers, drug dealers, migrants
Speaker 2: charged with sex crimes, all among the twenty four hundred
Speaker 2: that have been picked up so far. And they are
Speaker 2: not done by any stretch of the imagination. ICE announced
Speaker 2: yesterday had begun target They had begun enhanced targeted operations,
Speaker 2: specifically in Chicago. In addition, the Army's wanted first Airborne
Speaker 2: Division said it was mobilizing troops for a military police
Speaker 2: battalion to help deal with the invasion of illegal immigrants invasions,
Speaker 2: the word the Trump used. Pentagon officials have said the
Speaker 2: additional military person will help the border patrol spot illegal
Speaker 2: border for crossings. We now have military planes being used
Speaker 2: to import migrants from the border directly back to their
Speaker 2: home countries. And got a side note on that. One
Speaker 2: Columbia talked to Big Talk, but they had to back
Speaker 2: off and get to that. In a second, illegal border
Speaker 2: crossings dropped thirty five percent in the first three days
Speaker 2: of the Trump administration, compared to the last three days
Speaker 2: of the Biden administration.
Speaker 1: Ah, how about that, it's the words getting out.
Speaker 2: Officials in Pema County, Arizona announced that they were shutting
Speaker 2: down two migrant shelters because no illegal immigrants had been
Speaker 2: caught and released into the community since Trump took office. Huh, elections,
Speaker 2: I guess have consequences. Trump's borders are tom home and
Speaker 2: over the weekend. Specifically, Yesterday, said that the moves are
Speaker 2: designed to send a message that the Biden days of
Speaker 2: leniency for illegal border crossing are row or quote. If
Speaker 2: we don't show there's consequences, you're never going to fix
Speaker 2: the border problem. ICE has been posting the numbers on
Speaker 2: its x account. They said they made five hundred and
Speaker 2: thirty eight arrest Thursday, five hundred and ninety three on Friday,
Speaker 2: two hundred and eighty six on Saturday, and then nine
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty six yesterday. They also logged or lodged
Speaker 2: rather seventeen hundred and ninety seven deportation detainer quest with
Speaker 2: other law enforcement agencies, which basically tell the law enforcement
Speaker 2: agencies out there when one of the wanted illegal immigrants
Speaker 2: is getting ready to be released from custody domestically, deportation
Speaker 2: officers will be there to pick that person up when
Speaker 2: they leave prison. So I say, averaged nearly six hundred
Speaker 2: arrest a day for the four day period, ninety increase
Speaker 2: over the pace under the Biden administration. There you have it,
Speaker 2: it's working. And as for Columbia, Columbian President Gustavo Petro he, well,
Speaker 2: you said that backpedal a little bit. He refused to
Speaker 2: accept deportation flights from the United States after Trump was
Speaker 2: sent them there. There's a couple of military transport planes
Speaker 2: that were sent to Columbia. Well, Columbia said, no, you
Speaker 2: can't land here. Well, Trump threatened tariffs and other message
Speaker 2: against Columbia, which resulted in Gustavo Patros saying never mind,
Speaker 2: never mind. White House confirmed yesterday Columbia's president had caved
Speaker 2: in his words of the statement to all of President
Speaker 2: Trump's terms, including the unrestricted acceptance of all illegal aliens
Speaker 2: from Columbia returned from the United States, including on US
Speaker 2: military aircraft, without limitation or delay.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: The statement went on to say, based on this agreement,
Speaker 2: the fully a drafted IEEPA tariff and sanctions will be
Speaker 2: held in reserved and not signed. Unless Columbia fails to
Speaker 2: honor this agreement, the visa sanctions issued by the State
Speaker 2: Department and enhanced inspections from Custom and Border Protection will
Speaker 2: remain in effect until the first planeload of Columbian deportees
Speaker 2: is successfully returned. Today's events make it clear to the
Speaker 2: world that America is respected again. President Trump will continue
Speaker 2: to fiercely protect our nation's sovereignty and expects all other
Speaker 2: nations of the world to fully equip operate and accepting
Speaker 2: deportation of their citizens illegally present in the United States.
Speaker 1: Just put an exclamation point on that one.
Speaker 2: So over the weekend, we sent two flights of Columbian
Speaker 2: illegal aliens. Patro rejected the flights, saying that the US
Speaker 2: cannot treat Colombian migrants as criminals. In a statement from Patro,
Speaker 2: I deny the entry of American planes carrying Columbian migrants
Speaker 2: into our territory. The United States must establish a protocol
Speaker 2: for the dignified treatment of migrants before we receive them.
Speaker 1: Huh, dignified well.
Speaker 2: In response to that, Trump said he ordered a twenty
Speaker 2: five percent tariff on all goods coming into the United
Speaker 2: States from Columbia, and he said he'd raised it to
Speaker 2: fifty percent after one week. He also ordered a travel
Speaker 2: ban in visa revocations for all Colombian government officials, plus
Speaker 2: allies and supporters whoops. Writing on social media, Trump says
Speaker 2: Patroos denial of these flights has jeopardized the national security
Speaker 2: and public safety of the United States. So I've directed
Speaker 2: my administration to immediately take the following, urgent and decisive
Speaker 2: retaliatory measures, according to Senator Marco Rubio, following President Patro's
Speaker 2: refusal except two re patriation flights he had previously authorized,
Speaker 2: Ruby immediately ordered a suspension of visas at the US
Speaker 2: Embassy Bogatah Consular Section. State Department said Secretary of Rubio
Speaker 2: is now authorizing travel sanctions on individuals and their families
Speaker 2: who were responsible for interference of US repatriation flag and operations.
Speaker 2: Well steps like that to get Patro to change his
Speaker 2: mind and accept, unequal without reservation, all of Trump's demands,
Speaker 2: and in fact, he tried to do a counter sanctions.
Speaker 2: Yesterday afternoon, patrostered a similar threat to Trump, saying he
Speaker 2: ordered his foreign trade minister to raise tariffs on import
Speaker 2: from the US by twenty five percent. Later, he went
Speaker 2: on a rant. He said he raised the tariffs to
Speaker 2: fifty percent. I have informed that you imposed fifty percent
Speaker 2: tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter
Speaker 2: the United States, and I do the same.
Speaker 1: Well until you don't, eh, you know, got it?
Speaker 2: You got to telegraph strength. Trump's not going to play around.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think this is an important thing to note.
Speaker 2: You work with us, you take your people back. They're
Speaker 2: here illegally, they're causing a problem with our national security. Uh,
Speaker 2: or you suffer the consequences. Who's in a better bargaining position,
Speaker 2: Columbia or the United States. Yes, we do have the
Speaker 2: world's biggest economy, So say what you want about tariffs,
Speaker 2: but in situations like this, apparently they work. Five sixteen
Speaker 2: fifty five KARO City talk Station. Feel free to coffee,
Speaker 2: got something you want to talk about and I'll be
Speaker 2: back after these brief words.
Speaker 1: He pardoned.
Speaker 2: Everybody knocking out, though other talk shows can knock at
Speaker 2: the door, but only sean Heat to Shay have five
Speaker 2: twenty here at fifty five kre CD talk station five one, three, seven,
Speaker 2: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to
Speaker 2: three talk or pound five fifty on at and t pounds.
Speaker 2: So are Trump's policies regarding uh immigration and cracking down
Speaker 2: and getting rid of primarily the criminal element, sending the
Speaker 2: criminal element back to their countries of origin are those cruel?
Speaker 2: So Saith prominent Democrats and liberal media voices. That's reporting
Speaker 2: from Fox News claiming the deportation campaign is an act
Speaker 2: of cruelty. Someone who has very little credibility, Reverend Al Sharpton.
Speaker 2: He's on over an MSNBC, so nobody heard him say this,
Speaker 2: called Trump's immigration orders a civil liberties nightmare, claiming the
Speaker 2: ICE raids were racist and give leeway for agents to
Speaker 2: abuse migrants. Here's what the reverend had to say. When
Speaker 2: you look at the fact that there's a serious element
Speaker 2: of profiling here, I pauster a moment profiling is doing
Speaker 2: law enforcement. As I suggested earlier, I have a pretty
Speaker 2: solid belief that ICE knows very well where a lot
Speaker 2: of these illegal immigrants are. You know, they were given
Speaker 2: the cell phones and a tracking number and a court date,
Speaker 2: and I think they were, you know, when they were
Speaker 2: taken to the sanctuary cities wherever they landed in some shelter,
Speaker 2: their names and information are noted. But in a final analysis,
Speaker 2: you're looking for specific people. You know, one particular guy,
Speaker 2: maybe it's a Haitian immigrant, someone who committed crime. You know,
Speaker 2: he happens to be staying at this particular shelter. ICE
Speaker 2: goes and does their law enforcement work and looks for
Speaker 2: that particular person.
Speaker 1: Profiling. Yes, he is.
Speaker 2: The specific colors of skin, a specific country of origin,
Speaker 2: has a name, we've got his DNA evidence or something
Speaker 2: like that. You're profiling. You're looking for those particular people.
Speaker 2: Of course, there's a serious element of profiling here. He
Speaker 2: said that we're looking for people of a certain black
Speaker 2: or brown color. When we're looking at the fact that
Speaker 2: this is a president that has told law enforcement to
Speaker 2: be tough on people who don't even put their heads
Speaker 2: down when you're throwing them into a police fan. He's
Speaker 2: opening the doors for police brutality. So I assume that
Speaker 2: would go with Ice as well.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: He can assume that all day long. But yeah, in
Speaker 2: some cases, you will be looking for a specific black
Speaker 2: or brown person. You might also be looking for a
Speaker 2: specific Asian person, someone from the Chinese Communist Party who
Speaker 2: we know is here to do us no good.
Speaker 1: Whatsoever.
Speaker 2: You don't look for white people or black people if
Speaker 2: you're looking for an Asian CNN political combinator commentator Maria Cardona.
Speaker 2: All of it is focused on cruelty, she said, on division,
Speaker 2: on separating families and inflicting as much pain as possible
Speaker 2: in communities across the country. Uh, national security, law enforcement.
Speaker 2: They're picking up criminals, people with convictions, and its inflicting
Speaker 2: as much pain as possible on communities across the country.
Speaker 2: I hate to have to say this, but an unchecked,
Speaker 2: unregulated influx of thousands of people into communities that basically
Speaker 2: double the community's population in size overnight, that inflicts a
Speaker 2: lot of pain on the communities themselves. The mere presence
Speaker 2: of illegal immigrants taking resources and well valuable resources, most
Speaker 2: notably classroom space and shelter dollars. I mean, all of
Speaker 2: this inflicts pain on the communities. She happened to just
Speaker 2: focus on the pain that the illegal immigrants are putting
Speaker 2: on these communities once he ann political commentator named Kate Bettingfield.
Speaker 2: I think Trump seems to be sometimes quite gleeful in
Speaker 2: pursuing policies that are hurting young children or hurting young families.
Speaker 2: What about those young children who were traffic sold basically
Speaker 2: into slavery, were sexually abused by gangs and traffic to
Speaker 2: perverts across this country. A lot of those still involved
Speaker 2: in that. What about the pain that's inflicted on them?
Speaker 2: I just have to ask out loud because you know
Speaker 2: that WES view this from one just one sided lens
Speaker 2: and fail to appreciate that you know, there's more than
Speaker 2: one argument to be made here. We have immigration laws,
Speaker 2: the president is enforcing them, and get a load of
Speaker 2: this for those who do not like birthright citizenship. The
Speaker 2: Center for Immigration Studies, described as a nonprofit research organization
Speaker 2: focusing on immigration, release the report Friday. They're preliminary findings
Speaker 2: showed that there were between two hundred and twenty five
Speaker 2: and two hundred and fifty thousand US berths to illegal
Speaker 2: immigrants and counter, you're twenty twenty three seven percent of
Speaker 2: total births in the US that year, two hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty thousand, they say, to put the figure in context,
Speaker 2: those figures are greater than the total number of births
Speaker 2: in all but two states taken individually. And they also
Speaker 2: said that appears more children board to illegal immigrant parents
Speaker 2: than to legal non citizens and they suggest that twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four numbers will likely to be even higher given
Speaker 2: the surge, of course of illegal immigrants into the country
Speaker 2: of the Biden Mitigranate administration. So there's some real hard
Speaker 2: numbers on that now. I don't think it's going to
Speaker 2: change the situation that we see the reality of birthright citizenship.
Speaker 2: You know, I got one court ruling already said that,
Speaker 2: you know, Trump's order banning birthright citizenship is not constitutional,
Speaker 2: and I do believe that it's going to stand, and
Speaker 2: that's going to be the viewpoint of any other courts
Speaker 2: that address that issue, like.
Speaker 3: It or not.
Speaker 2: Five twenty five. If five cares the detalk station, local
Speaker 2: stories coming up. If you prefer to call, I prefer

Speaker 2: what they call a closure for according to hot Department
Speaker 2: of Transportation, that described as bridging the gap between the
Speaker 2: new deck and the existing deck of the bridge. They
Speaker 2: said the cold weather has been challenging. The concrete requires
Speaker 2: temperatures above forty degrees to cure so Crows crews have
Speaker 2: used a series of forced air heaters and insulated blankets
Speaker 2: and tarts to keep the concrete at a constant temperature.
Speaker 2: They say the project completion is still on track to

Speaker 2: galleria area best Buy, where another marked police car is
Speaker 2: seen doing donuts in the empty parking lot. Video also
Speaker 2: appears to show another officers standing watch, so people on
Speaker 2: social media filming this. Before he began filming, one guy
Speaker 2: said he saw the police unit swerving around a shopping
Speaker 2: cart drifting. Houston Police Officers Union, in the statement, said
Speaker 2: cops love donuts lol. Police union, however, never addressed the
Speaker 2: officer's conduct and it's riding. Cameras captured a closed section
Speaker 2: South Loop near the Golf Freeway. Officers seen driving the
Speaker 2: wrong way down the freeway, turning and then turning again
Speaker 2: a total of six times. Houston Police, on their own statement, said,
Speaker 2: the police Department is aware of two videos circulating on
Speaker 2: social media showing Mark patrol units driving in the snow
Speaker 2: and parking lots. We take this matter seriously and are
Speaker 2: currently reviewing the incidents. One additional fact. Once additional facts
Speaker 2: are gathered, appropriate steps we'll be taken to address the
Speaker 2: situation internally. None of the officers have been identified publicly
Speaker 2: at least yet. Wow, cops can have fun too, can't they?

Speaker 2: if you think that's an interesting UH story that they
Speaker 2: should hear about.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: Springfield. We got a Springfield, Missouri. I think police there
Speaker 2: arrested a man accusing of robbing, shooting at, and holding
Speaker 2: four juveniles at gunpoint. Accord to the probable cause davem In.
Speaker 2: The group was four, was ding dong ditching in the
Speaker 2: Edgewood Street area and approached the home occupied by forty
Speaker 2: year old Melvin Rankin. I think we got another award
Speaker 2: to attack on to the other two you gave out
Speaker 2: this morning. Joe, one of the juveniles, rang the doorbell
Speaker 2: twice until they heard a gun shot from the garage.
Speaker 2: The group fled and drove away from the area before
Speaker 2: noticing they were being followed by Rankin. Group hit a
Speaker 2: dead end. Rankin stopped, pointed a gun at the four
Speaker 2: juveniles and told them to lay on the ground. One
Speaker 2: of the kids said they were just playing ding Dong ditch,
Speaker 2: but Rankin demanded the and ultimately took the keys of
Speaker 2: their vehicle and left. Monday, January twentieth, officers arrested him
Speaker 2: during a traffic stop and conducted a search of his residence,
Speaker 2: where they found a twelve or twenty gage shotgun in
Speaker 2: his home, along with two handguns and a controlled substance
Speaker 2: in his vehicle. Officers spoke with Rankin's significant other, who
Speaker 2: said that when they heard the knock at the door,
Speaker 2: they observed through a ring camera a man wearing a
Speaker 2: mask and what they thought was a gun in his hand.
Speaker 2: She looked at ring footage earlier later again saw that
Speaker 2: the man was in fact wearing gloves. Rankin currently charged
Speaker 2: with six felonies, including first degree robbery, two counts of
Speaker 2: an armed criminal action, unlawful use of a weapon, unlawful
Speaker 2: possession of a firearm. Probable Cause. Statement also notes that
Speaker 2: rank Can have been under permanent GPS monitoring because of
Speaker 2: a first degree statutory rape conviction and being registered as
Speaker 2: a sex offender. Also been convicted of possession of a
Speaker 2: controlled substance, breaking and entering and driving while revoked.
Speaker 7: You've reached the top the pinnacle of dousdom. Good going due,
Speaker 7: Your dreams have true.
Speaker 2: Keep your finger on that button, Joe, keep your finger
Speaker 2: on that button. Why it's a good question. A Sacramento
Speaker 2: judge released Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Darren Bell from custody
Speaker 2: last Thursday, head of the February fourth court date, while
Speaker 2: prosecutors were adding more chound poor allegations to his case.
Speaker 2: Forty nine year old Belt forty nine year old Bell
Speaker 2: facing a number of conditions for release. More charges are
Speaker 2: being filed than in an amended complaint by the Sacramento
Speaker 2: County prosecutors, who now alleged the acclaimed cartoonists collected thousands
Speaker 2: of explicit images of children. Was being held at the
Speaker 2: Sacramento County Maine Jail in Louisville one million dollar bill
Speaker 2: since he was arrested a week ago. Prosecutors presented three
Speaker 2: new allegations at the hearing on Thursday. The bail hearing
Speaker 2: before Sacramento Superior Court Judge SHAWNA.
Speaker 1: Franklin.
Speaker 2: The additional accounts two of unlawfully possessing child sex content,
Speaker 2: third similar possession on charge on the day of his arrest.
Speaker 2: They also argued that for a search of all of
Speaker 2: Bell's electronic devices and a bar Bell father of four,
Speaker 2: from any contact with miners. Deputy District attorney prosecuting the case,
Speaker 2: Michelle Carson, alleged thousands of images, including of infants and toddlers,
Speaker 2: stored on Bell's computer, as well as other images believe
Speaker 2: creative the artificial intelligence prosecutor Carlson told Franklin that the
Speaker 2: District Attorney's and office investigators still must pour over and
Speaker 2: estimated two hundred thousand images. Public defender argued for his release,
Speaker 2: saying as no criminal record would be monitored out of
Speaker 2: custody in court. Also argued that with the seizure of
Speaker 2: Bell's electronics, his wife and family have been cut off
Speaker 2: from access to bank records, accounts, and other financial records.
Speaker 2: Said the national and international attention that came from the
Speaker 2: award winning, nationally syndicated cartoonist arrests eliminates him as a
Speaker 2: flight risk. Detectives set a tip from the National Center
Speaker 2: for Missing and Exploited Children that someone had uploaded eighteen
Speaker 2: files of child sex abuse material to the Internet led
Speaker 2: them to Bell's home. They located one hundred and thirty
Speaker 2: four videos of child sexual abuse material, located and linked
Speaker 2: to the same account owned and controlled by Darren Bell.
Speaker 2: Cartoonists and leftist too. By by all accounts, he's a
Speaker 2: real left wing nut job.
Speaker 1: So how many awards? How many?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Definitely? How many wards would we give out this morning?
Speaker 2: That four, three or four well deserved each of them.
Speaker 2: And yes, Joe, Happy Monday. Five fifty five fifty five

Speaker 2: the iHeartMedia content, including all the podcasts on my podcast page.
Speaker 2: Fifty five care Sea dot com. I'll just do this
Speaker 2: real quick. It's kind of an extension of the stack
Speaker 2: of Stupid. Britain yesterday said it would be forcing retailers
Speaker 2: to implement stricter age verification checks to stop children from
Speaker 2: buying knives. This after a teenager admitted to killing three
Speaker 2: young girls at a Taylor Swift theme dance event. The
Speaker 2: stabber the killer Axel Ruda Cubana. The knife attack in
Speaker 2: July described by as one of the most herring moments
Speaker 2: in Britain's history. At least that's the conclusion of Prime
Speaker 2: Minister Keir Starmer. They say it's triggered a public inquiry
Speaker 2: into the failings that allowed it to happen. Hum what
Speaker 2: could possibly did the knife get up and go start
Speaker 2: stabbing people on its own? Maybe the failings had caused
Speaker 2: this alex rue de Cabana's knife to spiral out of
Speaker 2: control to the point where he thought it was being
Speaker 2: an appropriate thing to kill three young girls at a
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift dance event. They say the inquiries expected to
Speaker 2: focus on why state institutions failed to act on warnings
Speaker 2: about the killer before his attack, but also focusing on
Speaker 2: regulations around buying knives.
Speaker 1: Court of the Article.
Speaker 2: British law requires retailers to have an age verification system
Speaker 2: to prevent those under the age of eighteen from buying knives,
Speaker 2: but also elements of those systems are not clearly The
Speaker 2: Fine Interior Minister of Ed Cooper said in Parliament that
Speaker 2: it was a disgrace at this guy, who was seventeen
Speaker 2: at the time of the knife, had been able to
Speaker 2: buy a knife online. So the government said yesterday would
Speaker 2: now mandate that retailers check photo identification of both the
Speaker 2: point of sale and delivery, and that deliveries can only
Speaker 2: be accepted by a person who plays the order. According
Speaker 2: to Cooper, it's a total disgrace how easy it is
Speaker 2: for children to get dangerous weapons online. It's also too
Speaker 2: easy to put in false birth dates. Parcels are often
Speaker 2: being dropped off in a doorstop with no questions asked.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Question.
Speaker 2: If not a knife, how about a cricket bat? Do
Speaker 2: you think there are age restrictions on purchasing a cricket
Speaker 2: bat in England?
Speaker 3: Joe?
Speaker 2: Because I know you can do some serious damage with
Speaker 2: a piece of lumber like that. You can smash in
Speaker 2: a human skull with that. You could kill someone with it.
Speaker 2: Look it up. I guarantee you there have been instances
Speaker 2: where that's happened. Chasing their tails, trying to ban everything
Speaker 2: that is used in a violent attack. The problem is
Speaker 2: the violence and the obviously mental health of folks like this.
Speaker 2: Moving away now, I know Donald Trump's you know, obviously
Speaker 2: with the Doze Department and all the efforts to save money.
Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal had an interesting take on this, and
Speaker 2: it is really just stunning to me how many people
Speaker 2: rely on the social welfare safety that we have in
Speaker 2: this country. They say, no, the press is reporting that
Speaker 2: Republicans in Congress are getting nervous about spending reductions in
Speaker 2: social programs as too politically risky.
Speaker 1: Oh no, we can't cut.
Speaker 2: That is a journal points out Republicans to realize how
Speaker 2: much mister Biden expanded the welfare state, meaning they can
Speaker 2: save money for taxpayers by shrinking income transfers to restore
Speaker 2: incentives to work for the able body, while still protecting
Speaker 2: the social safety net for those who fall into hard times.
Speaker 2: National jobless rate is down to four point one percent,
Speaker 2: off the late COVID era six point three percent that
Speaker 2: would be at the start of the Biden president presidency,
Speaker 2: Yet the welfare roles have not shrunk. Some eighty four
Speaker 2: point six million individuals enrolled in Medicaid, about a quarter
Speaker 2: of the population, a quarter of the US population. About
Speaker 2: forty two point six million Americans receive food stamps. Mister Biden,
Speaker 2: the Democrats use pandemic air as an excuse to turn
Speaker 2: Medicaid into another entitlement from the middle class. Congress finally
Speaker 2: entered a pandemic expansions in the spring of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: Yet there are still about ten million more people on
Speaker 2: Medicaid than before covid anneral federal and state spending on
Speaker 2: the programs has grown by sixty percent. Get a load
Speaker 2: of this figure. Annual federal and state spending is up
Speaker 2: to nine hundred and sixty three billion dollars, which is
Speaker 2: more than we spend on national defense. If they observe
Speaker 2: that one of the reasons the Biden administration led Democrats
Speaker 2: states ease eligibility verifications and use federal Medicaid funds to
Speaker 2: pay for other social spending homeless housing, food, and many refrigerators.
Speaker 2: They also let states use accounting tricks to bring more
Speaker 2: Medicaid money out of Washington. They said, consider California, where
Speaker 2: thirty seven percent of residents are covered by Medicaid. California
Speaker 2: has extended Medicaid to undocumented immigrants and waived asset limits
Speaker 2: for beneficiaries. Governor Newsom's budget forecasts one hundred and ninety
Speaker 2: billion would be in Medicaid and other health spending this year,
Speaker 2: and one hundred and nineteen of which will be picked
Speaker 2: up by the Feds.
Speaker 1: In other words, you.
Speaker 2: Taxpayers here in the Tri State are funding their massive
Speaker 2: Medicaid expansion, and they note that that one hundred nineteen
Speaker 2: billion picked up by you greater than Florida's entire annual budget.
Speaker 2: Biden officials apparently also boosted food stamp allotments and waived
Speaker 2: work requirements for able bodied adults. Recent journal report the
Speaker 2: case of an unemployed worker who were worried that accepting
Speaker 2: a job with a smallish paycheck would end his eligibility
Speaker 2: for food stamps and medicaid. Question how many more are
Speaker 2: like him not working? Refusing to work because the government
Speaker 2: benefits will be cut off doesn't understand and appreciate the
Speaker 2: reward that work carries just in and of itself, work
Speaker 2: as its own reward. Republicans have floated stifferent work requirements
Speaker 2: for welfare programs and fixing the accounting gimmicks that states
Speaker 2: use to scam more federal Medicaid dollars. Good ideas by
Speaker 2: our calculation, simply returning to pre pandemic Medicaid spending levels
Speaker 2: adjusted for inflation could generate more than ready for this
Speaker 2: one point four trillion in savings over a decade.
Speaker 1: I call that real money and progresses.
Speaker 2: For their part, they claim Republicans want to take food
Speaker 2: and healthcare away from the poor and sick. But the
Speaker 2: reality is that Biden's welfare expansions have mostly benefited those
Speaker 2: who can support themselves, but for any number of reasons,
Speaker 2: choose not to. And that's the sad and pathetic part
Speaker 2: about this, isn't it. We're not talking about someone who's
Speaker 2: disabled cognitively or physically. We're talking about people who are
Speaker 2: capable of working, and you simply choose not to. It's
Speaker 2: too easy. Did the benefits when in total, when you
Speaker 2: tap into the state and federal benefits you can get
Speaker 2: I think I've read figures. It's like making forty thousand
Speaker 2: dollars a year in a job. Oh, but you go
Speaker 2: to go to work.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Republicans need not fall into the trap of talking about
Speaker 2: this like accountants. This is a moral issue of helping
Speaker 2: people who really need it, but not those who don't.
Speaker 2: They call it a philosophical dividing line between the two
Speaker 2: parties that Republicans should stress as they pairback Biden's welfare blowout. Yeah,
Speaker 2: keep emphasizing that these are capable folks. It would rather
Speaker 2: you go to work every day and have your tax
Speaker 2: dollars support them. Six fifteen fifty five krres to the
Speaker 2: detalk station bill. I promise you'll be first out of
Speaker 2: the gate. Got to take quick break here to mention
Speaker 2: something that's affordable, and that's medical imaging. No, it's not
Speaker 2: affordable at the hospital. It's like five thousand dollars for
Speaker 2: a CT scan. No, you don't have to pay that.
Speaker 2: You pay six or four hundred and fifty dollars for
Speaker 2: a CT scan at Affordable Imaging Services. If you need
Speaker 2: a contrast it's only six hundred. Compare that to five
Speaker 2: thousand and multiple bills from the hospital. So you probably
Speaker 2: get a separate light on them for the Board Certified
Speaker 2: Radiologists report that is included in the low price at
Speaker 2: Affordable Imaging Services MRIs four ninety five, six forty five.
Speaker 2: With a contrast echo cardiogram's only four hundred ninety five bucks.
Speaker 2: So you go to Affordable Imaging Services because you'll save
Speaker 2: heap loads of money. Now you're gonna expect low overhead,
Speaker 2: but they have the same equipment that hospitals use, run
Speaker 2: by professionals who've been doing this for decades. Your doctor
Speaker 2: will find the images fine, as well as the radiologist report.
Speaker 2: I know my cancer doctor did. I'm going back again
Speaker 2: in April from a next CT scan. I'd like to
Speaker 2: save money. And note we're in a new calendar year
Speaker 2: for insurance, so this is probably all coming out of
Speaker 2: your pocket. And if you don't have insurance, UH, you
Speaker 2: need affordable imaging services. To learn more, go online check

Speaker 2: welcome to the morning show.
Speaker 9: Oh thank you there, Brian. Uh, I will make got
Speaker 9: a couple of points. I go real quick, but uh,
Speaker 9: and I remember when Rush Slynn Ball came on in
Speaker 9: eighty eight. I went to Kyle see them, seeing your
Speaker 9: dad with to see them. Uh, the announced it. I
Speaker 9: got to meet Rush and I got to meet your following.
Speaker 9: It changed my life.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, it did.
Speaker 9: Yes and number two. Man, I'm telling you Rush was right.
Speaker 9: He's had a byle thinking in nineteen ninety h. The
Speaker 9: feminization of football's gotta stop.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 9: Oh man, you got all these women are running around there.
Speaker 1: I mean, what are you talking about.
Speaker 9: The feminization of football. They got all these women, you know,
Speaker 9: doing all this man stuff their chank. Next are going
Speaker 9: to have all the drag queens and everybody out their
Speaker 9: little ballet dresses freaking running up and down the field.
Speaker 9: Oh they're gonna look real pretty bent over. But man,
Speaker 9: they got to stop this feminization of football.
Speaker 1: Will get give?
Speaker 6: I mean, don't.
Speaker 2: I don't even know on what level you're talking about
Speaker 2: feminization of football. I didn't see any female, you know,
Speaker 2: even if they identified as men football players in the
Speaker 2: games yesterday.
Speaker 9: They're all over the play fair man, and what they're
Speaker 9: giving out little water bottles and then they're all there
Speaker 9: talking strategy.
Speaker 2: Oh come on, oh okay, you're talking about the color
Speaker 2: commentators and the announcers from the field and the the
Speaker 2: other they're.
Speaker 9: Pretty, they're nicely. Like I said, they're a nice looking lady,
Speaker 9: but they're still like tollmboys in the praternal We gotta
Speaker 9: stop it. We gotta get the man back in there.
Speaker 9: This is a man sport.
Speaker 1: We gotta keep it a man sport.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Believe I'll leave you to that position, Bill, because I
Speaker 2: don't necessarily share it. I've been on this planet fifty
Speaker 2: nine years, and I know a lot of women who
Speaker 2: know a whole hell of a lot more about the
Speaker 2: game of football than I do. They're fans, they follow stats,
Speaker 2: they follow players, they follow trades, they listen. If you've
Speaker 2: got the skill set to provide commentary, then what's wrong
Speaker 2: with having a woman there. I remember when it was
Speaker 2: you know, oh, lighten up, Joe. I remember it was controversial.
Speaker 2: They have women reporters and the men locker room, and
Speaker 2: and I just reminded me of a story. I went back,
Speaker 2: going back a lot of years as my I think
Speaker 2: my freshman year, our first year or second year of
Speaker 2: law school, got an opportunity when the fifty five cars
Speaker 2: was carrying the Bengals games back then and the bigger
Speaker 2: sponsors would get an opportunity to go on the plane
Speaker 2: with the Bengals. And so my dad said, Brian, do
Speaker 2: you want to come with me? We're taking I think
Speaker 2: it was the Oscar Meyer guys. So two guys from
Speaker 2: Oscar Meyer, my dad and I got the little spots
Speaker 2: on the seat. Flew out with the Bengals, which was
Speaker 2: wild in and of itself. Got to spend the evening
Speaker 2: with Dave Lapham, for example, was doing Co's color commentator
Speaker 2: back then. We all went out to bars and partied
Speaker 2: up the night before. Got to go to the game
Speaker 2: in Denver. Got to be in the press box, which
Speaker 2: was awesome. Went down to the locker room, which was
Speaker 2: awesome after the game, and I was when I saw
Speaker 2: one of the reporters. It was a woman reporters standing
Speaker 2: there and there's I'm tad, these guys are butt naked
Speaker 2: all over the place. And I was talking to my
Speaker 2: dad about that. He sees Key got of strains that
Speaker 2: women are allowed to the men's locker room. It's all
Speaker 2: this nudity around. They said, yeah, they've been allowed to
Speaker 2: do that for several years. So I saw this one
Speaker 2: female reporter, she had a microphone in her hand. She
Speaker 2: was interviewing one of the players, and her eyes were well,
Speaker 2: she was fixated on one particular area of that football
Speaker 2: player's body, and it was really obvious. You know how
Speaker 2: like guys stare down at a woman's chest from time
Speaker 2: to time and they get caught doing it. Yeah, she
Speaker 2: was slightly distracted. Anyhow, I personally don't have a problem
Speaker 2: with whatever California ballot initiative. They're going to leave the country,
Speaker 2: Maybe they want to succeed from the United States, at
Speaker 2: least that's what the ballot initiative is pushing for. Measure
Speaker 2: makes it an them if it makes it on the
Speaker 2: November twenty eight ballot, withold ask voters should California leave
Speaker 2: the United States and become a free and independent country. Apparently,
Speaker 2: the guidelines require fifty per center registered voters to participate
Speaker 2: and fifty and a yes vote from fifty five percent
Speaker 2: of voters, which would indicate a vote of no confidence
Speaker 2: in the United States of America. Measure would further show
Speaker 2: that the will of the people of California's become a country. Okay,
Speaker 2: report states. According the initiative's language, it would not change
Speaker 2: California's current government or relationship with the United States. However,
Speaker 2: this is almost comical. It would create a commission to
Speaker 2: report on California's viability as an independent country. Initiative estimates
Speaker 2: one time election related costs. The forming of a Commission
Speaker 2: on National Sovereignty and Independence would cost ten million dollars.
Speaker 2: Estimate that operating the commission would take another two million
Speaker 2: in annual state costs. So you're not really voting for independence,
Speaker 2: You're voting for a research study. Now, if California does
Speaker 2: become its own country, can we build a wall separating
Speaker 2: them from us? Keep those batcrap crazy leftists from invading
Speaker 2: our country? Just the thought six twenty five. But you

Speaker 2: can only presume that they are. Sycamore Township fire officiers
Speaker 2: preferred all questions of the Sheriff's office. Sheriff's office currently
Speaker 2: had no updates, at least as the time Fox nineteen

Speaker 2: before I get to Derek's call, we go to we

Speaker 1: song library. What we have and don't have.
Speaker 2: It goes through this interesting and complex legal process, so
Speaker 2: we need to have to have rights and approval and
Speaker 2: all that kind of thing. And I can guarantee you
Speaker 2: that welcome Back is not among the database songs, so
Speaker 2: apologies can't make good on that request, Derek. But welcome Back,

Speaker 2: if you know what that means, then you can listen
Speaker 2: to it, I suppose on your own time. Thanks for
Speaker 2: the call, Derek, appreciate it. No Dad putting an exclamation
Speaker 2: point on that one. I sure miss my dad, but
Speaker 2: it does put a smile on my face. When Joe

Speaker 10: In today's Marketers Report, Havy Monday, Brian Hey, I want
Speaker 10: to talk about uh Rfkane, his upcoming confirmation and kind
Speaker 10: of clear keep things up that the drive by media
Speaker 10: won't tell everybody. The guy is not against childhood vaccines.
Speaker 10: He's against her. He's four informed consent number one for two.
Speaker 10: The premise behind childhood vaccines is a good one. It's
Speaker 10: just all the garbage that they put in these things
Speaker 10: as additives to make them enhanced, like aluminum.
Speaker 3: The problem is.
Speaker 10: When that builds up, it becomes toxic, and when you're
Speaker 10: putting these into these little people that are forming at
Speaker 10: the speed of light, it really creates chaos.
Speaker 3: To the system. And there was actually a literature review.
Speaker 10: That came out about twelve to eighteen months ago from
Speaker 10: the Cochrane Institute, which you'll remember from COVID. They approved
Speaker 10: the HPV vaccine before it came out, and then they
Speaker 10: went back and tried to figure out why all these
Speaker 10: teams were having such issues with side effects and deaths, paralysis.
Speaker 10: Then they found it was the build up of the aluminum.
Speaker 6: And then it became a twenty.
Speaker 10: Three page synopsis on all childhood vaccines. And I think
Speaker 10: that's just the scourge that RFK is trying to get
Speaker 10: out of this with his Children's Defense Network. So it's
Speaker 10: more of an education process and take the poison them
Speaker 10: for these things.
Speaker 2: Well, and you know, I agree with everything you're saying
Speaker 2: in Dwayne. Is it necessary to have aluminum in these
Speaker 2: vaccines for them to work? Is it a component of vaccine?
Speaker 2: Based upon what you're saying, it isn't. So why is
Speaker 2: it in there? Like why is that FD and c
Speaker 2: red dye in everything when it's been an own carcinogen
Speaker 2: for a while.
Speaker 1: We don't need it in there. Take it out.
Speaker 2: I get that, But this is exactly and if if
Speaker 2: they gave us all that warning information, and they sat
Speaker 2: down with you ahead of time and said, listen, this
Speaker 2: vaccine while we recommend it, and it is part of
Speaker 2: you know, my job as a doctor to recommend a
Speaker 2: certain vaccine. It comes with risks, and identify all those
Speaker 2: risks and balance them with the harm you're trying to
Speaker 2: prevent by the vaccine and let the parents decide what
Speaker 2: they want to do. I mean, that's the way it
Speaker 2: should be. But I've never heard what you're saying before, Dwayne.
Speaker 2: I mean I may have read in one of rfk's
Speaker 2: you know, musings or papers or conversations, but you know,
Speaker 2: I don't know that the doctor talked about that when
Speaker 2: we gave our got our children vaccinated. I sure don't
Speaker 2: remember when I got vaccinated when I was a kid,
Speaker 2: So no, they don't.
Speaker 10: And that's one of the biggest problems. But if they
Speaker 10: would just get that out, then I think there would
Speaker 10: be more confidence in the vaccines and you could see much,
Speaker 10: much less side effects. One really quick story. None of
Speaker 10: the three of our children were vaccinated. They're into their twenties.
Speaker 10: Our youngest ended up at a military academy, had to
Speaker 10: get fifteen shots. Ye, he's an offensive line, eighteen years old,
Speaker 10: three hundred pounds, fifteen shots in two months before he
Speaker 10: reported for basic training, got sick as a dog. So
Speaker 10: what does he think that does to a little tiny baby.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there is something to be said about that. But
Speaker 2: you know, the more information we have, the better decisions
Speaker 2: we can make. And you know, why would the pharmaceutical
Speaker 2: companies keep the information from us?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 10: That's the question that's been revealed since COVID. It really is.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm all in favor of the disinfecting light
Speaker 2: of truth and exposing and allowing these research studies to
Speaker 2: come out and provide us with the information we need
Speaker 2: in order to make that informed consent.
Speaker 1: You talked about.
Speaker 2: Excellent observations, Dwayne appreciated, you know, And I don't see
Speaker 2: any downside risk of RFK getting that position. I mean,
Speaker 2: I disagree with him on a lot of policies and
Speaker 2: a lot of positions he's taken, but none. I don't
Speaker 2: really have a profound disagreement with anything. He's going to
Speaker 2: have some responsibility over and no problem holding pharmaceutical companies accountable.
Speaker 2: And you know where might we be if a guy
Speaker 2: like RFK Junior was in charge of the ship or
Speaker 2: of the store when the COVID nineteen vaccine got rolled out.
Speaker 2: Apparently we didn't get the information, so we didn't exercise
Speaker 2: an informed consent when we stood in line or were
Speaker 2: forced to stand in line and get that JAB six
Speaker 2: forty five fifty five Kosity talk Station. Thanks for the
Speaker 2: call twenty and recommendation. Chimneycare Fireplace and Stove, do what
Speaker 2: Cribbage Mike did this fireplace started smoking? Uh Well, Chimneycare
Speaker 2: Fireplace's stove took apart the gas fireplace and found that
Speaker 2: their grandchild hit stuff or a great grandchild. One of
Speaker 2: the two stuffed toys up inside the chimney flew and
Speaker 2: they charred and caught fire, kind of roasted, and that
Speaker 2: caused the problem. That's dangerous, but that's what an inspect
Speaker 2: will reveal, and that's the problem. That's a type of
Speaker 2: problem that Chimneycare Fireplace and Stove can resolve. Excellent customer service.
Speaker 2: I heard it straight from the horse's mouth. In this

Speaker 2: mean need your fireplace chimney swept wood burners. That's an
Speaker 2: annual thing. You should have that checked out safety. You know,

Speaker 2: blocking off the flow of air. Carbon Monoxide is a

Speaker 2: carbon monoxide detector and call the Chimneycare Fireplace and Stove
Speaker 2: to check it out. And they start with the video

Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC.
Speaker 2: Fifty here I fifty five kre CD talk station, Happy Monday.
Speaker 2: Try to make it happy anyway, always put the smile
Speaker 2: on my face on Christopher Smithaman joins a program that's
Speaker 2: coming up at seven twenty smither vent Monday Monday with
Speaker 2: Brian James at eight or five and Buddy Levy with
Speaker 2: the book Realm of Ice and Sky. It's about Arctic exploration.
Speaker 2: He'll join the program and eat forty and meantime. Over
Speaker 2: to the phones. Brandon's joining the program right now. Brandon,
Speaker 2: thanks for calling this morning. Happy Monday to you.
Speaker 9: Happy Monday.
Speaker 3: Grians down.
Speaker 11: Want to follow up on the caller just head about
Speaker 11: the vaccine education. I have kids that are now having kids,
Speaker 11: and I don't think it's more of the education because
Speaker 11: there's a lot of resources out there to see what
Speaker 11: these vaccines are all about.
Speaker 4: And you know the cause of the second you would
Speaker 4: have on the children, what my children are running into.
Speaker 4: It's more of the requirements by the pediatricians, they won't
Speaker 4: see them unless they are being vaccinated. And also the schools,
Speaker 4: so if you want to send your kids to schools,
Speaker 4: they're required all of these vaccines on a schedule. And
Speaker 4: really it's disheartening for my children that you know, want
Speaker 4: to kind of you do the right thing by their children.
Speaker 1: Don't they have religious exemptions for vaccines in schools?
Speaker 4: They do as well, but those are it's it's not
Speaker 4: the easiest thing to do. My my oldest child and
Speaker 4: his wife is stay at home mom, and she'd go
Speaker 4: homeschool her kids, but my daughter doesn't quite have that capability,
Speaker 4: so she's kind of left up to it. And even
Speaker 4: some of the local uh, like I believe that even
Speaker 4: Calbary Christian maybe I think they require the vaccines. So yeah,
Speaker 4: I've got one hundred certainly on that somebody else could
Speaker 4: call in and follow up.
Speaker 2: But well, you know, okay, like I assume they do,
Speaker 2: and I would think you should be able to have,
Speaker 2: you know, like this sort of concept of informed consent
Speaker 2: rejection of a vaccine. If you say, listen, here, I
Speaker 2: have all the research papers or here the pharmaceutical company
Speaker 2: who manufacture the vaccine has identified these risks, and I
Speaker 2: do not wish to subject my child to the risks
Speaker 2: associated with getting the shot.
Speaker 1: Ergo, we're not going to get it. That should be
Speaker 1: enough to get you out of taking the vaccine.
Speaker 2: As someone said, well what about the health of the
Speaker 2: other children, Well, the other children get the vaccine, they're
Speaker 2: not going to get whatever disease it is. You're you're
Speaker 2: you're choosing not to get a vaccine for I mean,
Speaker 2: I take the pressure.
Speaker 4: More comes from the pediatricians. I mean they are you know,
Speaker 4: they're getting you know, incentives for you know, having these
Speaker 4: vaccines treated all these children. It's it's a tough fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't get why a physician would refuse
Speaker 2: to treat a non vaccinated child. Again, I'm assuming if
Speaker 2: the preediatrician thinks it's a great thing to have the vaccines,
Speaker 2: that the pediatrician him or herself would be vaccinated, and
Speaker 2: that the vast majority of the patients going in and
Speaker 2: out of the facility would be vaccinated, and if they
Speaker 2: weren't vaccinated, then that was the parent's decision to not vaccinate. Ergo,
Speaker 2: there's no risk to people who have been vaccinated, So
Speaker 2: you know, this circuitous sort of logic and reasoning thing
Speaker 2: you go through and you ultimately conclude, well, if you're
Speaker 2: worried about getting measles, get the damn measles vaccine. Some
Speaker 2: parent might not have there, might not be too concerned
Speaker 2: about their child getting measles. They don't get it. Maybe
Speaker 2: that child will get measles, but if you've been vaccinated,
Speaker 2: you won't. It's actually a vaccine that works, unlike the
Speaker 2: COVID vaccine, which didn't prevent you from well getting covid.
Speaker 2: I'm just honestly glad Brandon that you know I got
Speaker 2: the polio vaccine as well. I mean, that's when you
Speaker 2: see rooms full of people in iron lungs because they
Speaker 2: can no longer breathe on their own because of polio
Speaker 2: and the massive amount of death that polio caused. See,
Speaker 2: I'm happy we had a polio vaccine and basically eradicated
Speaker 2: it from the face of the earth. Now, if it
Speaker 2: was an mr NA polio vaccine, maybe there are arguments
Speaker 2: to be made that you shouldn't take it. But old
Speaker 2: school is what I got and I didn't get polio,
Speaker 2: and I'm thankful for it. But I do agree. I
Speaker 2: think that it's important everyone does their own research. And
Speaker 2: I'll admit that you know that's because the physician might
Speaker 2: not be identifying these risks associated with vaccines. But a
Speaker 2: little bit of research on your own sort of can
Speaker 2: reveal things that you might not be or you may
Speaker 2: may not be told about. At least that's what RFK
Speaker 2: is kind of pushing at this point. Get the information
Speaker 2: out there so people can have an informed discussion with
Speaker 2: their physician. And I can't address the problem of physicians
Speaker 2: not wanting to treat you for not being vaccinated. That
Speaker 2: just doesn't make any sense to me. Six fifty five
Speaker 2: If you five Krscity talk station more to talk about
Speaker 2: enough top of their news plus Christopher Smithman at seven twenty.
Speaker 1: I hope you can stick around. I'll be right back
Speaker 1: your voice.
Speaker 7: Thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 5: Your country I refreshing hear it every day.
Speaker 1: Fifty five krs the talk station.

Speaker 2: forward one hour. We're gonna hear from Brian James on
Speaker 2: Trump's tax plan. Home sales apparently stalled because of the
Speaker 2: mortgage interest rates seven percent are hovering around. There will
Speaker 2: there be a thirty two hour work week, and uh,
Speaker 2: looking at your phone at work, Well that's costing you money,
Speaker 2: says Brian James. We'll get the details on that again
Speaker 2: in an hour. And then Buddy Levy with a book,
Speaker 2: Realm of Ice and Sky. It's about Arctic exploration. He's
Speaker 2: a big fan of Arctic history. So we're gonna get
Speaker 2: a history lesson from Buddy at a forty You feel
Speaker 2: free to call. I get a little time for Christopher
Speaker 2: Joints the program five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty
Speaker 2: five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk pound
Speaker 2: five fifty on at and T phone. Not going to
Speaker 2: go back over it. But big, big, big few days
Speaker 2: with ice gathering up illegal immigrants. They are up to
Speaker 2: a four day total of nearly twenty four hundred gang members,
Speaker 2: migrants tied to the trendator Agua gang were picked up.
Speaker 2: I think of fifty or so of those convicted murderers,
Speaker 2: drunken driver, habitual drunken drivers, drug dealers, migrants charged with
Speaker 2: sex crimes among the sweep It just seems pretty obvious
Speaker 2: to me that Ice knows exactly where these people are.
Speaker 2: So you might find that good news, or you might
Speaker 2: be on the liberal media side and calling these policies cruelty.
Speaker 2: I know where I sit on that one. Anyhow, New
Speaker 2: sheriff in town on that new sheriff in town also
Speaker 2: giving optimism to US manufacturers. This is a rather interesting
Speaker 2: thing based on the fact that optimism has grown among
Speaker 2: the US manufacturing industry. There's an SMP Global Flash US
Speaker 2: Purchasing Manager's Index. They issued report a few days ago.
Speaker 2: US manufacturing sector experienced growth in January for the first
Speaker 2: time in six months. Factory output in hiring rows bully
Speaker 2: by the largest monthly jump in optimism in more than
Speaker 2: four years. Improvement in America's factories supported by a rebound
Speaker 2: in new orders, increased production. New orders in the goods
Speaker 2: producing sector rose for the first time in seven months.
Speaker 2: Output reversed the declines recorded over the past five months.
Speaker 2: According to report, firms expectations of output in the coming
Speaker 2: year continue to run at a level not to surpassed
Speaker 2: since May of twenty twenty two, buoy by optimism about
Speaker 2: the new government's policies, encouraging firms to take on staff
Speaker 2: at the steepest rate in nearly two and a half years.
Speaker 3: WOOH.
Speaker 2: Manufacturing confidence in January posted the biggest monthly improvements In
Speaker 2: November of twenty twenty, SMP's Global Factory Sentiment Index to
Speaker 2: a twenty two month high. According to the report, looser regulations,
Speaker 2: lower taxes, heightened protectionism were all widely cited, alongside a
Speaker 2: broader sense of improving economic conditions in the year ahead
Speaker 2: under the new administration. That didn't take long, did it.
Speaker 2: There is a growing sense of optimism Donald Trump's from
Speaker 2: making good on the promises that he made on the
Speaker 2: campaign trail, including the Department of Education, New sheriff in
Speaker 2: Town regarding litigation against departments of Education and book bans.
Speaker 2: Back in June of twenty three, Joe Biden announced the
Speaker 2: appointment of a book ban Coordinator with the Office of
Speaker 2: Civil Office for Civil Rights. The ocr tasked with informing
Speaker 2: school districts that prohibit certain books that they could be
Speaker 2: violating federal laws, claiming they considered certain book exclusions to
Speaker 2: be a threat to civil rights, particularly for LGBT s
Speaker 2: Q plus RWXYZ students and other minority communities. Fast forward
Speaker 2: to now that Office for Civil Rights announced the dismissal
Speaker 2: of eleven complaints related to alleged book bands and schools
Speaker 2: and rescinded guidance that suggested removing certain books from school
Speaker 2: libraries could violate civil rights laws. The new department leadership
Speaker 2: and the new policy. New sheriff in town said the
Speaker 2: decisions about school library contact should be Here's an interesting
Speaker 2: novel philosophy made at the local level by parents and
Speaker 2: school bards not regulated by federal civil rights offices. A
Speaker 2: blanking men, according to the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights,
Speaker 2: Craig Trainer, and a statement by dismissing these complaints eliminating
Speaker 2: the position authorities of a so called book band coordinator
Speaker 2: of the department is beginning the process of restoring the
Speaker 2: fundamental rights of parents to direct their children's education. Amen
Speaker 2: The current ocr leadership determine that the issue of book
Speaker 2: removed as a matter of primal community judgments rather than
Speaker 2: civil rights. The new attorneys say that the books are
Speaker 2: not being banned, and they're not Rather, the school districts,
Speaker 2: working together with parents and community stakeholders have established common
Speaker 2: sense processes to evaluate and remove age inappropriate materials. Now
Speaker 2: we're talking about the school library, not libraries generally speaking.
Speaker 2: If you want some of these untoward, unsavory, and sometimes
Speaker 2: salacious books, go to your regular local library and check
Speaker 2: them out, but don't expect it to be found in
Speaker 2: the K through well probably six library, where a lot
Speaker 2: of these books are placed. Complay alleged the districts violated
Speaker 2: Title nine in Title six when they removed eight books.
Speaker 2: This is one from Forsyth County School District. And get
Speaker 2: a load of the pressure they put down on this
Speaker 2: Forsyth school district. This is under the prior administration. Mind you,
Speaker 2: they removed eight books containing sexually explicit material from the
Speaker 2: school library. Despite initial calls for dismissal from ocr's Atlanta office,
Speaker 2: the leadership in Washington over ruled the regional office and
Speaker 2: extracted a resolution agreement, basically a settlement agreement. According to
Speaker 2: the Department of Education, the agreement required the district to
Speaker 2: post statements embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion, and encouraged students
Speaker 2: to make Title nine and Title six complaints well with
Speaker 2: a new Sheriff in Town that agreement. That settlement agreement
Speaker 2: is now terminated along with any associated obligations. So they
Speaker 2: get their foot in the door. They sue your school,
Speaker 2: threaten you with all kinds of fines and complaints under
Speaker 2: these titles, and extract concessions from you which force upon
Speaker 2: a school district to start teaching things that otherwise wouldn't
Speaker 2: have taught DEI and encouraging students to make more complaints.
Speaker 2: That's just fought out, nefarious, but thankfully again new sheriff
Speaker 2: in Town and unleash Alaska oil. This is another complete
Speaker 2: reversal from the Biden administration. Donald Trump's executive action package
Speaker 2: will expand fossil fuel development in Alaska January twentieth, Unleashing
Speaker 2: Alaska's Extraordinary resource potentials. The name of the order calling
Speaker 2: on federal agencies to expedite permitting and leasing of energy
Speaker 2: and natural resource projects, prioritize development of Alaska's LNG potential,
Speaker 2: expand oil and gas drilling in the nineteen point six
Speaker 2: million acre Arctic National Wildlife Restue Refuge and also potentially
Speaker 2: the twenty three million acre National Petroleum Reserve.
Speaker 1: I love the name of that one.
Speaker 2: We named it the National Petroleum Reserve, and yet the
Speaker 2: Biden administration well effectively banned drilling in the National Petroleum Reserve.
Speaker 1: Makes sense out of that, if you can.
Speaker 2: Trump's action recives all regulations, orders, guidance, documents, policies. Another
Speaker 2: similar Aid agency actions promalgated, issued or adopted between January
Speaker 2: twentieth twenty one and January twentieth twenty five, erasing seventy
Speaker 2: Biden era regulatory actions in Alaska alone. The rollbacks and
Speaker 2: prioritization aim to accelerate one particular project. It's the Alaska
Speaker 2: Gas Line Development Corporation's eight hundred and seven mile pipeline
Speaker 2: funneling three point three billion cubic feet of gas per
Speaker 2: day from Prudo Bay to Nikiski and the Kenai Peninsula.
Speaker 2: Huge project. Apparently, it was initially submitted to the Federal
Speaker 2: Energy Regulatory Commission back in twenty seventeen. It got authorization
Speaker 2: to proceed in May twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: What day is it today?
Speaker 2: Also reauthorized in the Biden administration. However, in spite of
Speaker 2: that reauthorization, here's where rubber meets the road.
Speaker 1: Folks.
Speaker 2: Proponents maintained that seventy Biden executive orders related to asking
Speaker 2: Alaskan energy development ended up blocking the approved project. So
Speaker 2: the Unleashed Alaska Order from Trump chucks those regulations and
Speaker 2: rules and elevates that project to a priority that will
Speaker 2: be accelerated under his National Energy Emergency Declaration. So elections
Speaker 2: have massive consequences, and this is just a stunning reversal
Speaker 2: of the obstructionism that Biden created with his executive orders.
Speaker 2: I guess global warming or climate change or something seven
Speaker 2: fifteen right now if you five curious to the talk station.
Speaker 2: Christopher Smith been up next. First, a word for the
Speaker 2: awesome dynamic duo of dentistry doctors Fred Pack and doctor
Speaker 2: Megan Freue. You're in the best possible hands when it
Speaker 2: comes to dental care if you're being treated by doctor
Speaker 2: Pack or Freu. And with doctor Pack, it's all about
Speaker 2: cosmetic dentistry. He just absolutely is amazing and one of
Speaker 2: the best in the world when it comes to cosmetic dentistry.
Speaker 2: He's one of only three accredited fellows with the American
Speaker 2: Academy and Cosmetic Dentistry in the state of Ohio. That's
Speaker 2: rarefied air right there. When you see the before and
Speaker 2: after pictures of the work that doctor Peck has done
Speaker 2: over the years. It's mind blowing, it's life changing, exceptional
Speaker 2: dentistry on your smile. So if you're someone who doesn't
Speaker 2: like to smile, you're in the best possible hands. And
Speaker 2: of course doctor Fru's working on accreditation with the American
Speaker 2: Academy and.
Speaker 1: She is the best.
Speaker 2: If you don't like dentists, I love going to the dentist.
Speaker 2: I strongly encourage you to be treated by doctor Frue
Speaker 2: for general dentistry. Everybody loves her to death. She's the

Speaker 5: This is fifty five kr an iHeartRadio station in.
Speaker 3: The wild.
Speaker 2: Seven nineteen fifty five KERCD talk station. Happy Monday always
Speaker 2: made extra happy because it is that time a week
Speaker 2: when you hear the Smither event. Former vice mayor of
Speaker 2: the City of Sin Saint Christopher Smithman joined the program
Speaker 2: every Monday at this time to let it out. Christopher,
Speaker 2: Welcome back, my friend. I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 6: I did, Brian, thanks so much for having me on.
Speaker 6: And what a political week since the last time we spoke.
Speaker 6: All of the executive orders that have happened, so I
Speaker 6: think the press Corps is having a tough time keeping up. Yeah,
Speaker 6: everything that is happening.
Speaker 2: I actually saw an article on that after four years
Speaker 2: of Biden only sticking his head out of this, out
Speaker 2: of his whole every I don't know, a couple of
Speaker 2: months and only answering a smattering of questions, you got
Speaker 2: Donald Trump basically twenty four to seven talking to reporters
Speaker 2: and signing executive orders and getting stuff done. I mean,
Speaker 2: the illegal immigrant crackdown just is already netting or bearing fruit,
Speaker 2: with twenty five hundred already arrested in his first week
Speaker 2: in office. I mean, you know, I guess demonstrable proof
Speaker 2: that it can be done.
Speaker 3: Let's start there.
Speaker 6: Sure, I mean, we're talking about people that have come
Speaker 6: in our country illegally, So anybody listening or fact checking Smithman,
Speaker 6: that's what we're dealing with. We're focused on people who
Speaker 6: are criminals.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 6: So we're talking about gang members, murderers, rapists, robbers, people
Speaker 6: that are creating havoc in our community. What democratic mayor
Speaker 6: wants to defend keeping a rapist in their community? Brian Thomas,
Speaker 6: it's the most it is the most absurd thing, meaning
Speaker 6: everybody that has been shipped off, the five hundred or
Speaker 6: one thousand people that have been flown back to their
Speaker 6: country where pope folk who were all criminals creating havoc
Speaker 6: in the neighborhoods that they were living in. I don't
Speaker 6: understand this sanctuary city. Don't keep the criminals here. It
Speaker 6: goes back to that common sense approach that you and
Speaker 6: I talk about, And I'm just missing why any elected
Speaker 6: official would oppose ice removing a rapist.
Speaker 2: It boggles the mind, Christopher, It absolutely boggles the mind,
Speaker 2: especially a child molester. You know, if somebody like you
Speaker 2: or I was convicted of child molestation, we'd have to register,
Speaker 2: we'd be a registered sex offender. We'd have to, you know,
Speaker 2: report and identify our address and it will be on
Speaker 2: databases in various states. And I really don't think that
Speaker 2: applies to illegal immigrant child molesters, at least I don't
Speaker 2: think it does.
Speaker 6: But he just made your neighborhood safer. He has your
Speaker 6: community safer in the last seven days. And here's the
Speaker 6: reality of it is you and I know that most
Speaker 6: likely one of these criminals is going to do something right.
Speaker 6: But those those people that were moved out were preventative,
Speaker 6: like flossing your teeth, getting your teeth creak, meaning those
Speaker 6: people no longer exist to prey on your daughters, are
Speaker 6: to pray on your homes, or to pray on your
Speaker 6: dad's or to prey on the elderly because they have
Speaker 6: been removed from your community. I just, you know, as
Speaker 6: I've been watching the TV, it has boggled my mind
Speaker 6: that democrats, these are democrats who are saying you can
Speaker 6: have sanctuary in my city, as if these are not
Speaker 6: criminals that Ice is removing. Like that's the part that
Speaker 6: I can't get my head wrapped around. What is it
Speaker 6: about moving a removing a rapist or a murder And
Speaker 6: that's on the back of lakeln Riley, meaning we know
Speaker 6: that they've done these kinds of things. Why would a
Speaker 6: Democrat mayor stand in the way or a Democratic governor
Speaker 6: of removing the worst of the worst from their neighborhoods.
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas, Well, it's a groundswell of even Democrat mayors
Speaker 2: agreeing to cooperate with Ice or at least not stand
Speaker 2: the way. And that the reason is, I imagine, because
Speaker 2: their own constituents want these murderers and rapists and thieves
Speaker 2: out of their own neighborhoods. I mean, I mean the
Speaker 2: populace Democrat, Republican, independent, communist, socialist. I don't care what
Speaker 2: political stripe you are, do you want to be living
Speaker 2: in around a bunch of hardened criminals and rapists. I
Speaker 2: think most people would put aside politics and say no,
Speaker 2: not in my neighborhood.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 6: Right, meaning I want my daughter safe as she's going home,
Speaker 6: coming home from schools. Oh yeah, And so what that
Speaker 6: is what is blowing most Americans away who are looking
Speaker 6: at this meaning they're trying to act as if President
Speaker 6: Trump is separating somebody, some father from their children. Look,
Speaker 6: the reality of it is is these are people that
Speaker 6: were let out of some institution in their country and
Speaker 6: they're here with a criminal record.
Speaker 3: Gang members.
Speaker 6: I don't know if you saw that there was some
Speaker 6: gang having a party somewhere in the country, like fifty
Speaker 6: or sixty of them, and Trump's team the I showed
Speaker 6: up and arrested them all. They were basically saying, we're
Speaker 6: going to have a party. All the gang members were together,
Speaker 6: said well, we're going to arrest everybody in the whole room,
Speaker 6: as they did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for consulting. Thank you for consolidating one location.
Speaker 2: Made it easy for us to arrest all fifty of
Speaker 2: you guys. Yeah, I did read about that. But yeah,
Speaker 2: twenty five hundred in just one week, or twenty four
Speaker 2: hundred in just one week. How they got almost a
Speaker 2: thousand yesterday alone. No, I call that progress, Christopher, getting
Speaker 2: the bad elements off the streets.
Speaker 6: I do too, And I guarantee you the local police
Speaker 6: officers in those communities are safer today because of it.
Speaker 6: That's the bottom line. And the community is safer. No
Speaker 6: one wants to pull over somebody from a gang from
Speaker 6: another country and they open fire on our peace officers.
Speaker 6: So this is making everybody safer. And this notion that
Speaker 6: ice is out grabbing dreamers. Meaning if you listen to
Speaker 6: MSNBC or CNN, they'll make their audience believe that Ice
Speaker 6: is pursuing somebody who is a dreamer, who's going to
Speaker 6: work every day's been here thirty years. There's no problem
Speaker 6: they're paying taxes. That is not what is happening. They're
Speaker 6: going after the worst of the worst. Brian Thomas and
Speaker 6: I applaud Ice for the work that they're doing.
Speaker 2: The agree amen to that. Well Green Christopher back for
Speaker 2: another talk right after I mentioned Prestige Interiors. That's John Ryan.
Speaker 2: It's his company and he will be the one helping
Speaker 2: you improve the way well your family comes together. And

Speaker 2: together for all life's events big and small. The heart

Speaker 2: opportunity for some fellowship and get out of the house
Speaker 2: and do something different for a change. Well, return back
Speaker 2: to Christopher smithmen doing the Smither event. Christopher, go on
Speaker 2: your rant. Let's continue.
Speaker 6: Well, brother, I just want to take a pause here
Speaker 6: as we as we move into Black History Month to
Speaker 6: talk about something that President Trump is doing that is
Speaker 6: absolutely connected to Black History Month, which is the dread
Speaker 6: Scott versus Stanford case of eighteen fifty seven. This was
Speaker 6: a slave, dread Scott, who was traveling with a physician
Speaker 6: who from the South then was in Saint Louis and appealed,
Speaker 6: actually sued the United States saying, hey, I want my freedom.
Speaker 6: I'm living somewhere where I'm not free, but I'm traveling
Speaker 6: somewhere that I am free, and now I want to
Speaker 6: have all the rights of an American. And from that case,
Speaker 6: even though the Supreme Court ruled seven to two, which
Speaker 6: was a very activist court. And I want to remind
Speaker 6: anybody who's listening google the dread Scott versus Stanford case,
Speaker 6: and any teacher out there who's listening, they should research
Speaker 6: this and teach their student because it was the birth,
Speaker 6: i would say, of the Republican Party, where Republicans were saying, listen,
Speaker 6: I'm fighting for the freedom of slaves, where the Dixiecrats
Speaker 6: in the South were saying they wanted the slaves. And
Speaker 6: here you have Dred Scott case here that really, you know,
Speaker 6: in my opinion, I think historians would agree, ultimately ended
Speaker 6: up with Lincoln being elected President of the United States
Speaker 6: and maybe even the wick that was lit for the
Speaker 6: Civil War. So here was a man who stood on
Speaker 6: his principles saying, hey, I'm down here in the South,
Speaker 6: I'm traveling up here in the North. I want my
Speaker 6: same rights as an American. He sued. It took eleven
Speaker 6: or twelve years for it to get to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 6: The reason I raised this is because as President Trump
Speaker 6: now is pressing forward on this notion that if you
Speaker 6: come to this country illegally and have a child, that
Speaker 6: that child is automatically an American citizen. And some of
Speaker 6: the discussion when this alter reaches the Supreme Court, they
Speaker 6: will be leaning on the dread Scott case right where
Speaker 6: you had a slave who was saying, hey, I want
Speaker 6: my freedom. But these two things are not connected, meaning
Speaker 6: under the Fourteenth Amendment, he was saying, I'm I'm in
Speaker 6: I'm in the same country. I'm from here. I've lived
Speaker 6: here my whole life. It's not like I was broad here,
Speaker 6: I jumped over something illegally, and now just for having
Speaker 6: a child in the United States, that child has this
Speaker 6: American American citizenship. I'm just sharing with you. It's very
Speaker 6: interesting how this case added most likely will be argued
Speaker 6: at the Supreme Court that the dread Scott case will
Speaker 6: be a centerpiece of that argument. I am inspired by
Speaker 6: this slave dread Scott, who said I want my freedom
Speaker 6: as an American. What a great American. A man who
Speaker 6: was a slave who sued a country and ultimately he
Speaker 6: did not leave, He did not live to see the
Speaker 6: fruits of what he did. But he really a fire
Speaker 6: Brian Thomas, Now you're a lawyer. I'm not, but I
Speaker 6: had I had to highlight this as the president is
Speaker 6: pressing this issue, which is directly connected to the dread
Speaker 6: Scot case.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and my recollection, and don't hold me to it
Speaker 2: because but just my recollection, it's been a long time
Speaker 2: since I read the dread Scott case. The Supreme Court
Speaker 2: determined that he was property and that by merely being
Speaker 2: in a free state that that not that didn't negate
Speaker 2: that doctor's proper vested property interest over a human being.
Speaker 2: I mean, the whole concept is really is horrific in
Speaker 2: and of itself, but that because he was deemed property
Speaker 2: in the slave states, that it didn't negate it when
Speaker 2: he went in through a free state. At least, that's
Speaker 2: my recollection, a horrific outcome.
Speaker 6: You were you were, you are right? But he showed
Speaker 6: an activist court right who were who were Dixiecrats? I mean,
Speaker 6: the reality of it is is that so many African
Speaker 6: Americans do not realize that the Republican Party at the
Speaker 6: heart of it were the was the party that was
Speaker 6: birthed and so ported the freedom of slaves. It wasn't
Speaker 6: the Democrats, right, And so you know, we can talk
Speaker 6: about Lyndon Johnson and what he did and kind of
Speaker 6: the pivot after that, But the reality of this is
Speaker 6: what I want to say to you, is that as
Speaker 6: we go into Black History Month, let's tell the truth,
Speaker 6: the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. So when
Speaker 6: you walk up to a Republican who's African American, don't
Speaker 6: turn your nose up. This is a person who understands
Speaker 6: that their freedom came from the birth of the Republican Party.
Speaker 6: And so many Republicans don't even know their own history.
Speaker 6: They don't understand it and can't and cannot tell their
Speaker 6: own story. But as I pivot in conclusion, brother, the
Speaker 6: pardons that happened by President Biden are the greatest corruption
Speaker 6: I've seen from a president in my lifetime. To parton
Speaker 6: his family in the eleventh hour before the before of
Speaker 6: now President Trump was sworn in, shows you the bedded
Speaker 6: corruption at the highest levels of the federal government that
Speaker 6: are that within the President of the United States with Biden,
Speaker 6: Kim partning shift the January sixth Committee, all of it
Speaker 6: is total corruption. And when I saw Senator Shift on
Speaker 6: Meet the Press this weekend, justifying his pardon but damning
Speaker 6: President Trump for partnering the January sixth as if he
Speaker 6: cares about cops. I want to remind every police officer
Speaker 6: that's listening to me, Look, the people that are running
Speaker 6: their mouths and acting like they care about police officers
Speaker 6: are the same people that were wanting to defund them
Speaker 6: and reimagine them. So now we have people now say,
Speaker 6: oh my goodness, I'm so concerned and I'm so blown
Speaker 6: away that the January sixth people were pardoned and there
Speaker 6: were police officers that were hurt coming from Shift, coming
Speaker 6: from who these are the people that have been saying
Speaker 6: for the last five to six years they wanted to
Speaker 6: defend on every police station in the United States of America,
Speaker 6: and they also wanted to reimagine it. It's amazing what
Speaker 6: a week does.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is true, and yeah, Trump's won aiding on
Speaker 2: a lot of the Biden policies. And they're quick to
Speaker 2: also forget that the leftists are the ones that are
Speaker 2: terrorizing neighborhoods and burning buildings and throwing frozen water bottles
Speaker 2: and fireworks of police and injuring police and I don't
Speaker 2: recall the FBI doing a nationwide manhunt for all those
Speaker 2: folks that were storming the streets during ANTIFA and BLM
Speaker 2: and George Floyd protests, etc. I don't know that those
Speaker 2: folks were ever brought to justice for the harm they
Speaker 2: did to police officers. So there's obviously a big double
Speaker 2: standard on display here, Christopher, No.
Speaker 6: It's it totally is. And I think this fact that
Speaker 6: the January sixth Committee, as a fact, literally shredded, deleted
Speaker 6: all information regarding the committee's work. Who does that? So
Speaker 6: the current administration coming in does and even have the
Speaker 6: information to figure out what they did. And on the
Speaker 6: backs of it, all of them were pardoned, and including
Speaker 6: fauci I, meaning we could go through the list of
Speaker 6: everybody that was pardoned. But nobody who's listening to this
Speaker 6: has heard anything like it. Where a president in the
Speaker 6: last thirty minutes of his presidency partners his whole family
Speaker 6: partners to January sixth partons Senator Shift and clearly this
Speaker 6: was him. This is President Biden protecting himself. He was
Speaker 6: worried about the money that his family had laundered and
Speaker 6: was concerned about himself, so he was trying. He's trying
Speaker 6: to blunt not just those who they might go after,
Speaker 6: but it ultimately leading to the big guy. Well, people
Speaker 6: might not know who the big guy is, but all
Speaker 6: they have to do is read the emails and understand
Speaker 6: who the big guy is and the partners were about
Speaker 6: protecting his own behind.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, my listening audience knows exactly who the big
Speaker 2: guy is, and don't think this is over. Merely because
Speaker 2: they were pardoned doesn't mean we can't get the truth out.
Speaker 2: And I have every reasonab believe that's exactly what the
Speaker 2: Republicans are going to do. They're not going to give
Speaker 2: them a free pass, and that the pardons also remove
Speaker 2: any of those pardon people's right to assert the Fifth
Speaker 2: Amendment be free of punishment, so they're going to have
Speaker 2: to testify they can't stand behind the Fifth Amendment. So
Speaker 2: I think the truth ultimately will still come out, and
Speaker 2: I think we're entitled to know the truth about these
Speaker 2: shady deals, so at least history can be a judge
Speaker 2: and maybe also revealed that maybe state laws were violated
Speaker 2: and they could be prosecuted under state laws as opposed
Speaker 2: to federal laws, which is the only thing the pardons
Speaker 2: extend to.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, and I never was shocked. Again as we go
Speaker 6: into black history, buff people fact check me that President
Speaker 6: Biden at the time with Senator Biden did the eulogy, right,
Speaker 6: what eulogy that President Biden do a former KKK.
Speaker 2: Membergon guy, Yeah, And I'm sitting here going is it
Speaker 2: that so many people don't know their history?
Speaker 6: Are they not being taught it in our school? Whether
Speaker 6: it's Dred Scott versus Sanford, or whether it is things
Speaker 6: like Senator Biden doing the eulogy for Senator Byrd out
Speaker 6: of West Virginia who was a KKK member. Now they said, well,
Speaker 6: he reformed himself. But here's what I want to leave
Speaker 6: you with. If the current president had done a eulogy
Speaker 6: for a former KKK member, tell me what you think
Speaker 6: mainstream media would have been saying.
Speaker 2: About him twenty four to seven, NonStop racist, racist, racist, racist.
Speaker 6: And that's the double standard that I'll leave you with
Speaker 6: in my rant. And I tell your listening audience and
Speaker 6: those who might just be tuning in for the first time,
Speaker 6: if I said something that isn't true, fact check me
Speaker 6: when I hang up. The reality of it is that
Speaker 6: the Dixiecrats are the ones that gave my grandmother, who
Speaker 6: was born in nineteen oh nine, born in Montgomery, Ablabama.
Speaker 6: The Dixiecrats are the ones that gave her hell. It
Speaker 6: was the KKK, the terrorist organization, the domestic terrorist organization
Speaker 6: that gave her hell. I'm shocked that Senator Biden, now
Speaker 6: former President Biden, gave the eulogy for Senator Byrd and
Speaker 6: you never hear mainstream media saying a peep about it.
Speaker 6: So if I'm saying something that isn't true. As we
Speaker 6: move into Black History Month, I want to talk about
Speaker 6: Black history, but I want to talk about all of it.
Speaker 6: So I want to talk about Dred Scott, which ultimately,
Speaker 6: in my opinion, gave the birth of the Republican Party,
Speaker 6: which fought for the freedom of slaves. It wasn't the Democrats,
Speaker 6: it was the Republicans. And I'll leave you with that thought.
Speaker 2: I appreciate your passion, Christopher Smithman, always do, and that's
Speaker 2: why I love heaving you on the city carsee morning

Speaker 2: system to stop oil companies and put them out of business.
Speaker 2: Yet another of these lawsuits has failed. A Maryland judge
Speaker 2: dismissed two lawsuits accusing the world's largest oil and gas
Speaker 2: company of causing climate change. Judge Stephen Platt of the
Speaker 2: ann Arundel County District Court throughout the cases brought by
Speaker 2: anne Arundel County and the City of Annapolis through it
Speaker 2: out last Thursday, evening counties and cities should not seek
Speaker 2: to use the courts to achieve climate policies such as
Speaker 2: carbon emissions reductions. The judge added that he was persuaded
Speaker 2: by other state courts that have similarly ruled that local
Speaker 2: jurisdictions can't regulate global emissions. Cases of Maryland part of
Speaker 2: a broader nationwide effort that goes back several years to
Speaker 2: bring oil companies in before state courts, accusing them of
Speaker 2: knowingly selling products that cause global warming and forcing them
Speaker 2: to pay billions of dollars in damaging and damages which
Speaker 2: would effectively put them out of business. That County and
Speaker 2: Rundel County, Annapolis initiated this lawsuit in early twenty twenty one,
Speaker 2: one of the first jurisdictions to actually have a case
Speaker 2: like this. Judge plat ruling set back for activists who
Speaker 2: saw these cases as a key part of their fight
Speaker 2: to take down oil companies and of course, stop global warming.
Speaker 2: Nine states, including Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico, also have
Speaker 2: these similar litigations been pursued. Hm us Theodore Baroda's junior
Speaker 2: lawyer for Chevron. The Court's decision joins the growing and
Speaker 2: nearly unanimous consensus among both federal and state courts across
Speaker 2: the country that these types of claims are precluded and
Speaker 2: preempted by federal law and must be dismissed under clear
Speaker 2: US Supreme Court President and Arnold County spokeswoman Rhinetia Alfonso,
Speaker 2: in a statement, says the case was advanced at no
Speaker 2: cost to county residents, sheer edling. The law firm get
Speaker 2: a load of this is funded by left winging billionaire
Speaker 2: backed nonprofits represented both Annarndo and Annapolis. The firm, which
Speaker 2: has represented the majority of jurisdictions that have pseud oil
Speaker 2: companies for climate damages in recent years, didn't respond for
Speaker 2: requests for common from the Washington Free Beacon. Shocking, No
Speaker 2: one think about this. A city is going to stop
Speaker 2: global warming suing the oil companies out of business? Yeah,
Speaker 2: day of these people realize that petroleum products are used
Speaker 2: in a multitude of things that we well need to live,
Speaker 2: thrive and survive. Plastic for example, how are you gonna
Speaker 2: make it without oil? And since the Chinese Communist Party
Speaker 2: is belching out along with other massive countries like India
Speaker 2: and Turkey, belching out massive quantities of carbon dioxide and
Speaker 2: other pollutants into the air, we also breathe in the
Speaker 2: same air. You know, the wind blows and the world's
Speaker 2: climate is interconnected. So the steps by you know, one
Speaker 2: county in one state against oil companies aren't going to
Speaker 2: change the carbon production dynamic. Plus, as I was like
Speaker 2: to point out, it's plant food. We're trying to remove
Speaker 2: plant food from the environment at a significant societal cost.
Speaker 2: Thank god the judges out in the world that will
Speaker 2: put an end to this kind of nonsense. Seven fifty
Speaker 2: five fifty five KRCD talk Station after the top of
Speaker 2: our news. Money Monday with Brian James on Trump's tax plans,
Speaker 2: stalled home sales, mortgages, a little too much, thirty two
Speaker 2: hour work week not and looking at your phone at
Speaker 2: work costing you money. Those are the topics whore with
Speaker 2: Brian James after the news. Hope you can stick around.
Speaker 5: Your voice, Thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 3: Your country gives us all somewhat to think about.
Speaker 1: Fifty five krcs the talk station. This report is sponsored
Speaker 1: by Rapid Radios.
Speaker 2: RAPOS gets me ready for the day at all day
Speaker 2: involved and check in throughout the day. Fifty five krs
Speaker 2: the talk station eighth five. You're a fifty five KRCD

Speaker 2: because his job depends upon a whatcome back, Brian James,
Speaker 2: Happy Monday.
Speaker 1: To you, Happy Monday, right back at you.
Speaker 13: And it is just a great time of year to
Speaker 13: get out there and enjoy that sunny, gray weather, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Oh jeez, yeah, I'm at least we're kind of get
Speaker 2: some sunnies guys today. It's you know, when it's been
Speaker 2: so cold, you look outside and the sun's barrendwn and
Speaker 2: you think, oh, it looks great out there, and you
Speaker 2: walk out and you're hit with this arctic blast. That's
Speaker 2: just it's so deceiving and depressed, right, I know, I know. Anyway,
Speaker 2: moving over to I see the across the board, all
Speaker 2: the futures are down, and some pretty significantly a couple
Speaker 2: points down s and P five hundred, Nasdaq's down three
Speaker 2: point seventy four futures trading And any hint or understanding
Speaker 2: as to why that might be the case currently, Brian James.
Speaker 1: Well, I think we're we're sort of getting to the.
Speaker 13: Getting past the honeymoon stage of we've elected a business
Speaker 13: friendly administration. We've had a little bump from that over
Speaker 13: the past several weeks, and now we're just getting to
Speaker 13: a point where realizing that that it's not going to
Speaker 13: be as easy as electing somebody and then just smooths
Speaker 13: sailing from there on out. We've got some other things
Speaker 13: we'll talk about here this morning that are going to
Speaker 13: be coming out just a little bit on the less
Speaker 13: than happy side as far as business goes.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I started out the show this morning, or at least
Speaker 2: at some point, talking about this S and P Global
Speaker 2: Flash Purchasing Managers Index, which reports that the optimism among
Speaker 2: business people is really really high and they're expecting factory
Speaker 2: output and hiring it. It actually has risen over the
Speaker 2: past six months, and really a dramatic increase going all
Speaker 2: the way back to May of twenty twenty two. So
Speaker 2: I kind of thought that might be parlayed into an
Speaker 2: increase in the stock market. But anyway, yeah, well, and
Speaker 2: I think when things like that happen, the headline and
Speaker 2: the article you're reading, the market reacted to that a
Speaker 2: week or two ago, I think, so it's just now
Speaker 2: getting written up by journalists, and so the market is
Speaker 2: now looking at the pendulum swings back and forth. So
Speaker 2: then market now is looking at I think things that
Speaker 2: might be not quite so rosy out there, fair enough
Speaker 2: and pivoting over to Donald Trump's tax plan. I saw
Speaker 2: the tax Foundation dot org article. Some of it's good
Speaker 2: and some of it not so good. Most notably they
Speaker 2: don't like the idea of these tariffs and suggests that
Speaker 2: we'll really negate any of the benefits of keeping the
Speaker 2: tax the current tax rates in place.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 13: So we've got an administration, of course, that wants to
Speaker 13: stamp its put its own stamp on things, and that,
Speaker 13: as we've seen before, that relates to the relationships we
Speaker 13: have with other countries and the trade agreements that we
Speaker 13: have in place, and unfortunately, we've been through it before,
Speaker 13: so we've seen what the impact can be. But I
Speaker 13: think the main concern right now is that there's nothing
Speaker 13: One of the big things that Trump ran on was
Speaker 13: the price of eggs and getting things down and making
Speaker 13: things easier for American families and businesses and so on
Speaker 13: and so forth. But right alongside that he was just
Speaker 13: as vociferous about raising tariffs on companies that we do
Speaker 13: business with to affect different things he wants from each
Speaker 13: of these relationships. And there's really nothing about a tariff
Speaker 13: at all that will help lower costs. You're simply increasing
Speaker 13: the cost of supply, and you're tacking money onto the
Speaker 13: front end of things, and that has to trickle down
Speaker 13: ultimately to the consumer. So yeah, that's what the market
Speaker 13: is now starting to see in terms of the impact
Speaker 13: coming down the stream.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean to the extent they don't capitulate
Speaker 2: to what Donald Trump wants. And I used the Colombians, yes,
Speaker 2: the other day, their president Gustavo Patris said no, you
Speaker 2: will not repatriate my fellow Colombians in these flights and
Speaker 2: denied access to the country with two of these military flights,
Speaker 2: only to turn around after Trump threatened him with sanctions.
Speaker 2: So twenty five percent sanctions he threatened. He said, they're
Speaker 2: going to go up to fifty percent if you don't
Speaker 2: hurry up and start allowing these folks. And he did
Speaker 2: change his tunes almost immediately yesterday. Yeah, and it was
Speaker 2: pretty quiet too. He didn't really say exactly what had
Speaker 2: changed his mind. It was just all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: the problem went away and there was really nothing standing
Speaker 2: in the way. So my best guess is that someone
Speaker 2: internally got to him and said, if we stick on
Speaker 2: this path, ultimately you're going to piss off all the
Speaker 2: voters because You've just literally raised the cost of them
Speaker 2: getting out of bed and trying to live their lives
Speaker 2: on a daily basis.
Speaker 1: So that's just Columbia. We have yet to get to
Speaker 1: the big ones.
Speaker 13: Yeah, but you know, I guess, I guess we can
Speaker 13: declare to declare that that went went the United States way.
Speaker 2: So far, so so far well, and I think that's
Speaker 2: an illustration of maybe they need us more than we
Speaker 2: need them.
Speaker 1: I don't know what in that particular case. Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 13: That's why I said that's Columbia. We'll see what happens
Speaker 13: with our other larger trading partner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. It's most notably China.
Speaker 3: Correct.
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, we've been down that path before, so and
Speaker 13: there's more going on with China than just a trade imbalance.
Speaker 13: It's the way they do business that we're really trying
Speaker 13: to adjust our relationship with them, and so we're playing
Speaker 13: our own games with them. That's playing out as we
Speaker 13: see in the headlines every single day with who's going
Speaker 13: to buy TikTok?
Speaker 1: And first of all, I am not an international business
Speaker 1: law expert.
Speaker 13: I still am fuzzy on the idea that the United
Speaker 13: States can force TikTok to sell. I believe it's still
Speaker 13: TikTok's option to simply not deal in the United States,
Speaker 13: except that's going to cost an enormous amount of money.
Speaker 1: Oh, it is absolute.
Speaker 2: They're prerogative, and you know, honestly, I think the way
Speaker 2: the law was written, in the way it was passed,
Speaker 2: Donald Trump doesn't even have the authority to extend the
Speaker 2: band because there is no active buyer in play. That
Speaker 2: was a contingency for the ninety day. He had a
Speaker 2: ninety day extension provision in that bill, So if there
Speaker 2: was someone sitting across the table from TikTok and negotiating
Speaker 2: at the time the band went into effect, then he
Speaker 2: could hold it off for up to ninety days. Well,
Speaker 2: there isn't, and there wasn't yet he still held it up.
Speaker 2: So I mean, if they went into court and challenged
Speaker 2: his order stopping the ban from kicking in, I think
Speaker 2: whoever challenged it would win because there's no active buyer.
Speaker 13: Right at some point it has to be it has
Speaker 13: to go down the way it's written in black and
Speaker 13: white on a piece of paper, and there is no
Speaker 13: basis for how. We can't see how this is going
Speaker 13: to come out yet, but it's not matching up with
Speaker 13: the way the law was written. So but that's just
Speaker 13: an example of what we're going to the kind of
Speaker 13: battles we're going to see over the next four years
Speaker 13: as this kind of global business order shorts itself out
Speaker 13: over time.
Speaker 2: What's your take on the exempting overtime pay from income taxes.
Speaker 2: I saw that in the rundown, and I'm just scratching
Speaker 2: my head, you know, because he wanted to exempt taxes
Speaker 2: or rather tips from taxation, and as well not exempt
Speaker 2: he's also exempt social Security benefits from income taxes. You know, honestly,
Speaker 2: Brian James, I'm one of these people. There shouldn't be
Speaker 2: any exemptions or anything. There shouldn't be any carve outs
Speaker 2: or provisions in the tax code that manipulate our behavior.
Speaker 2: I'm a flat tax guy. Just pay X percent and
Speaker 2: call it a day, and don't fill out these massive
Speaker 2: forms and have to deal with a fifteen gazillion page
Speaker 2: income tax code. That's part of the problem of doing business.
Speaker 2: I mean, the tax laws are almost impossible to navigate.
Speaker 13: Well, I'm getting a message here that the into it
Speaker 13: people would like to have a word with Brian Thomas
Speaker 13: about his opinions he's sharing on air because they really
Speaker 13: like their turbo tax product that keeps people plenty confused
Speaker 13: and stuck to the idea that things have to be
Speaker 13: more complicated.
Speaker 1: Now, now I agree with you.
Speaker 13: I mean, I'm a simplification person, and at this point
Speaker 13: things have gotten so far beyond the ability to kind
Speaker 13: of control and predict. I would be very willing to
Speaker 13: try an entirely new tax system just to see if
Speaker 13: that can simplify things for people and make it more fair.
Speaker 13: Now you asked my opinion of the idea of taxing
Speaker 13: this and not taxing that. Those different headlines that are
Speaker 13: that are coming down the phone. First off, we those
Speaker 13: have to get approved, right these are these are still
Speaker 13: political promises at this point, and I would say that
Speaker 13: my biggest frustration with this is while the benefits to
Speaker 13: people who are receiving those things are obvious, it doesn't
Speaker 13: do any.
Speaker 1: Good at all.
Speaker 13: If we don't offset with the spending side of things,
Speaker 13: and we're simply reducing the amount of income we've got
Speaker 13: to pay our bills. That's you know, that's not going
Speaker 13: to help in the long run. That's simply a campaign promise.
Speaker 13: So I really want to see an adult version of
Speaker 13: how this is all going to come out.
Speaker 2: Hey man, And look, someone wrote in big capital letters
Speaker 2: spending because the conclusion from the tax Foundation article was
Speaker 2: that they estimate their proposals would increase the ten year
Speaker 2: budget deficit by three trillion dollars. And lord knows, we
Speaker 2: don't need a bigger budget deficit. And three trillion dollars
Speaker 2: is a lot of money last time I checked. And
Speaker 2: anything we can do to stop that from happening should
Speaker 2: be done. And that's where spending comes in. We can
Speaker 2: really cut spending and curb that sizeable deficit.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 13: One of the other impacts we just got done talking
Speaker 13: about is, remember, tariffs are going to have an effect
Speaker 13: here too. Tariffs and taxation are all somewhat hand in
Speaker 13: hand when we're talking about making sure this country has
Speaker 13: the ability to stay afloat. From a financial perspective, Tariffs
Speaker 13: are going to hurt are going to hurt people at
Speaker 13: the bottom of of the line here. And if we're again,
Speaker 13: if we're simply running up more and more debt because
Speaker 13: we want to be able to have the headline that
Speaker 13: we're not taxing groups who are struggling, then we have
Speaker 13: absolutely got to find a way to not spend those
Speaker 13: taxes in the first place. I haven't heard a single
Speaker 13: peep yet about the things we are not going to
Speaker 13: do anymore to kind of save on those different items.
Speaker 2: Stop funding shrimp on treadmill research. That can be number
Speaker 2: one and no one could argue with that. We're going
Speaker 2: to continue with Brian James in a moment talk about
Speaker 2: home sales. Apparently stalled mortgage is too expensive, thirty two
Speaker 2: hour work week and looking at your phone at work
Speaker 2: apparently costing you money. You can save up to well
Speaker 2: some serious money going with Zimmer Heating and air Conditioning.
Speaker 2: Zimmer Heating and cool and been around locally owned, family

Speaker 2: Fifty five KRC dot com when the wildfires eight nineteen
Speaker 2: to fifty five krcdtalk station. It's Monday Money Monday. That's
Speaker 2: what we're doing right now with Brian James Allworth Financial.
Speaker 2: Uh moving over and you know everybody's looking around for
Speaker 2: the day when mortgage rates are going to drop so
Speaker 2: people can afford to own homes. And I guess we're
Speaker 2: looking at what roughly seven percent current mortgage rates.
Speaker 13: Yeah, so seven percent current mortgage rates, and that's been
Speaker 13: that way since about mid twenty three. So mortgage rates
Speaker 13: in this recent cycle, the average peaked around seven point
Speaker 13: eight percent in October of twenty twenty three, and we
Speaker 13: fluctuated around that ever since then. We've right now, we're
Speaker 13: kind of we've hit a plateau, right about seven percent
Speaker 13: or so, is what I'm hearing, and it's having impacts on,
Speaker 13: of course, people's decisions of whether to buy that bigger
Speaker 13: house or move to the next neighborhood. And you know,
Speaker 13: the things that we used to take for granted, we
Speaker 13: had low interest rates for so long that people would
Speaker 13: make decisions for their lives and their families without regard
Speaker 13: for what these uncontrollable numbers.
Speaker 1: What the impact was.
Speaker 13: Now I'm hearing about people making decisions to well, we
Speaker 13: have to stay put a few more years. We just
Speaker 13: we can't give up this three percent four percent interest
Speaker 13: rate on our mortgage. So I'm not going to take
Speaker 13: this job opportunity, or We're going to stay in the
Speaker 13: smaller house. You know, I've been doing this for thirty years,
Speaker 13: and I have not had conversations like this because we've
Speaker 13: been so spoiled for so many decades.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I imagine so, And you know, I'm sorry I
Speaker 2: lived through super high mortgage rates. You know, my wife
Speaker 2: and I bought our first home. I've pointed out before,
Speaker 2: we got a seven to twenty three balloon and had
Speaker 2: to do We paid three points to get it down
Speaker 2: to eight and an eighth. So it seems to me
Speaker 2: that the interest rate is not the thing that's the
Speaker 2: big problem, more so than the cost of homes went
Speaker 2: through the blanking roof. There's not an available supply of
Speaker 2: decent homes in an affordable realm, and COVID of course
Speaker 2: caused that as well. People were buying up real estate
Speaker 2: left and right, and so in inventory is not sufficient
Speaker 2: to meet demand. So I think we need more affordable
Speaker 2: sized homes, and I think more people could still buy
Speaker 2: in spite of the fact the interest rates currently seven percent.
Speaker 13: Right, And I think but another factor here, comparing those
Speaker 13: two time frames too. When you bought your house, we
Speaker 13: had just come out of you're speaking in the early
Speaker 13: eighties there, I believe in the nineties, oh nineties, okay,
Speaker 13: all right, so well, similar points. We had just come
Speaker 13: out of a recession. But the eighties were fairly strong
Speaker 13: economically speaking. And we, like you said, we didn't have
Speaker 13: the high prices of houses that we do now, right,
Speaker 13: and so the math the metrics are just completely different
Speaker 13: in terms of how you're going to make that decision.
Speaker 13: But I think I think we've just come out of
Speaker 13: a period where again people were so spoiled. We I
Speaker 13: think kind of became a little convinced that three percent
Speaker 13: mortgages are normal, not the absolute bottom rate we've ever
Speaker 13: seen in history, And I think that's causing a bit
Speaker 13: of hesitation with people thinking we're going to get right
Speaker 13: back down there pretty quickly, But as long as inflation
Speaker 13: is hanging around, don't. I don't see that coming really
Speaker 13: anytime soon, simply for the fact that we have to
Speaker 13: keep an eye on inflation, and we've done everything we
Speaker 13: can to get rates back down from intrates themselves back
Speaker 13: down from the eight nine percent range speaking of the
Speaker 13: federal reserve rates back down to the close to three
Speaker 13: percent rate, But that still is leaving mortgages because there's
Speaker 13: still a component of demand that drives where mortgage.
Speaker 1: Rates sit as well.
Speaker 13: So we got little ways to go there, and I
Speaker 13: think maybe some people are hanging on a little bit
Speaker 13: too long to the idea that it has to get
Speaker 13: back down to three percent before I can make a
Speaker 13: decision to affect my family.
Speaker 2: Well, do you recommend or is there a suggestion people
Speaker 2: not pursue like an adjustable rate mortgage. I mean, if
Speaker 2: you think the interest rates have maxed out and are
Speaker 2: going to ultimately drop, I know that might be a
Speaker 2: dangling care for some people to consider, but it's like me,
Speaker 2: going with the seven twenty three, we figured the rates
Speaker 2: would be down by the time we had to refinance
Speaker 2: or lock it in after seven years, and of course
Speaker 2: that's in fact what happened. So what's your thoughts on
Speaker 2: adjustable rate mortgages?
Speaker 13: So, yeah, I mean I think they can be I think,
Speaker 13: by the way, what you're referring to is these are
Speaker 13: called arms, adjustable rate mortgages. There can be a five
Speaker 13: year ARM, you can have a ten year ARM. Seven
Speaker 13: year basically means that you lock in your rate now
Speaker 13: and it's going to be somewhere in the ballpark of
Speaker 13: a market rate, but it will adjust to whatever that
Speaker 13: market rate is after that period has ended. So if
Speaker 13: we are sitting at a period which we kind of
Speaker 13: are right now where we feel like rates will be
Speaker 13: lower in the future. Again, we're not talking six months
Speaker 13: from now, we're talking several years. Armed. Yeah, then you
Speaker 13: can benefit by putting a mortgage in place that will
Speaker 13: drop if rates have dropped at that time. And yeah,
Speaker 13: I'm a fan of that. It's a little bit of
Speaker 13: a different thought process. Want anybody to do an ARM.
Speaker 13: You know, three four years ago, we were sitting in
Speaker 13: the opposite situation where rates were extremely low and your
Speaker 13: adjustable rate was going to go up on you in
Speaker 13: five years yep, And we had people kind of in
Speaker 13: a bit of a panic making sure they got it
Speaker 13: paid off or refinanced before that ARM came due. This
Speaker 13: is a little bit of the opposite where it can be.
Speaker 13: There are tools out there if you're thinking differently than
Speaker 13: three four years ago, there are tools out there that
Speaker 13: can help you. And I think it's a good thing
Speaker 13: to do, as long as it works within your overall
Speaker 13: financial plan, which sometimes has more to do than just money.
Speaker 2: Indeed, we'll pause, right and I'm bring Brian back to
Speaker 2: talk briefly. I'm sure about the thirty two hour work week,
Speaker 2: and then also apparently looking at your phone may cost
Speaker 2: you opportunities at work. Don't do that one more with
Speaker 2: Brian James. This money Monday. I'll be right back after
Speaker 2: these brief words.
Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC the Talk Station.
Speaker 2: We'll have a sunny day to day, a high thirty
Speaker 2: eight overnight, some clouds and a drop to twenty eight
Speaker 2: sunny skies tomorrow with a higher forty four during the day,
Speaker 2: partly cloudy overnight down to thirty two and on why
Speaker 2: it's going to be partly fidy and one up to
Speaker 2: forty four twenty degrees. Right now, time for traffic.
Speaker 12: You see up Traffic Center, expect more at you see
Speaker 12: health more twenty court trials, more treatment options for personalized care,
Speaker 12: more chances to get you back to being new. Visit
Speaker 12: you see how dot Com southbound seventy five continues slow
Speaker 12: through Bachman's inbound seventy four, but the lay times have
Speaker 12: dropped under the ten minute mark. Now between north end
Speaker 12: and seventy five there's a wreck. He's found two seventy
Speaker 12: five and seventy five. Trapping slows a bit from seven
Speaker 12: to forty seven. Chuck ing Vermont fifty five k see
Speaker 12: the Talk station.
Speaker 2: Hey, twenty eight fifty have KRCD Talk station. Brian Thomas
Speaker 2: and Brian James, doing Money Monday. Buddy Levy with the
Speaker 2: book Realm of Ice and Skies up next he's into
Speaker 2: Arctic expiration history, and that's what that's about.
Speaker 1: Brian James.
Speaker 2: Real quick before we get away from the real estate topic.
Speaker 2: It's just I saw an article about real estate insurance
Speaker 2: has just really gone through the roof. We apparently had
Speaker 2: two consecutive years of double digit increases in premiums and
Speaker 2: it just sort of it just brings into focus. Just
Speaker 2: because you can afford the mortgage payment, you got to
Speaker 2: remember maintenance upkeep insurance, which is a variable that it's
Speaker 2: going to you know, maybe go through the roof.
Speaker 1: Energy bills.
Speaker 2: I mean, who knows how much the price of energy
Speaker 2: is going to be, but you got to pay the
Speaker 2: heating and air conditioning bill every month, keep your electricity on.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just so much more than I think
Speaker 2: people perceive you as a financial planner. Is this the
Speaker 2: type of thing you walk through you're soon to be
Speaker 2: maybe a home purchasing clients through to analyze this and
Speaker 2: what it's all going to cost on a monthly basis
Speaker 2: or an annual basis.
Speaker 13: Yeah, absolutely, And I would say we also talk about
Speaker 13: that with our current home owning clients because we're in
Speaker 13: an environment we haven't seen before. So, you know, it's
Speaker 13: one thing to look at what is the cost of
Speaker 13: me living my life right now. But the whole point
Speaker 13: of a financial plan is to have a feel for
Speaker 13: what it's going to look like in the future. And
Speaker 13: one of those elements is the fact that homeowners insurance
Speaker 13: and things like that that are going to get more
Speaker 13: and more expensive.
Speaker 1: Property tax.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, that's.
Speaker 1: Another one, right, Hey, you got a one third increase
Speaker 1: in your property tax? Can you manage that? Oh, it's just.
Speaker 13: It's just a spiral as the value of things go up,
Speaker 13: right that the value of your house as a whole
Speaker 13: has gone up, But so has the value of the
Speaker 13: plywood and the two by fours and all the other
Speaker 13: stuff in there. So your insurance company is looking to
Speaker 13: ensure not what you paid for your home, they're ensuring
Speaker 13: the replacement cost.
Speaker 1: So something happens to your house, it gets wiped off
Speaker 1: the face of the earth.
Speaker 13: What would it cost to put that house back in place,
Speaker 13: which is going to be a heck of a lot
Speaker 13: more than what you actually paid for it. Therefore, that
Speaker 13: trickles all the way down into the premium. So that's
Speaker 13: something to pay attention to to make sure you have
Speaker 13: a handle on what those expenses might be in the future.
Speaker 2: Hey man, one of the reasons get a financial planner,
Speaker 2: all right. I saw Bernie Sanders proposed it, and I
Speaker 2: think it got laughed out of the room as a suggestion.
Speaker 2: But a couple of weeks ago, or a week or
Speaker 2: so ago, some progressive senators were pushing for the federal
Speaker 2: thirty two hour work week. I know there's lots of
Speaker 2: articles around about bringing them back into the office to work,
Speaker 2: and a lot of federal workers are really angry about
Speaker 2: that and maybe just going to quit their jobs because
Speaker 2: they don't want to show up to work But thirty
Speaker 2: two hours as opposed to a full forty hour work.
Speaker 13: Week, Yeah, and I think that the important detail there.
Speaker 13: It's a thirty two hour work week proposal, but the
Speaker 13: important thing is without loss of pay. So, in other words,
Speaker 13: we're going to reduce output by twenty percent, but we're
Speaker 13: not going to reduce the income that these folks make. Now,
Speaker 13: this is not super popular. I don't see it seeing
Speaker 13: the light of day anytime soon. Even Elizabeth Warren came out,
Speaker 13: who's usually relatively in line with Bernie Sanders. She came
Speaker 13: out and thinks it's a terrible idea. She said, it's
Speaker 13: she thought it was an insult to the work that
Speaker 13: her staff puts in. So I don't think there's going
Speaker 13: to be a whole lot of popular And it was
Speaker 13: never going to see the light of day anyway, But
Speaker 13: even among the progressive side, I don't think it's going
Speaker 13: to be all that popular. The last thing the progressive
Speaker 13: side can afford to do is to work less if
Speaker 13: they truly believe the different things are trying to push more.
Speaker 2: Which was just a general reaction, like, what nerve you
Speaker 2: have to even suggest this at this moment in time.
Speaker 2: Pivoting over to our final topic today with Brian James.
Speaker 2: From all words financial, looking at your phone too much
Speaker 2: at work could cost you opportunities. Saw this Washington Post article.
Speaker 13: Yeah, this used to be a thing we worried about
Speaker 13: with our kids, right, So now it has snuck into
Speaker 13: the adult world, of course, and I don't think it's
Speaker 13: gonna too much of a surprise. But about fifty eight
Speaker 13: percent of US adults say they now realize that they
Speaker 13: use their smartphones too much, up from thirty nine percent
Speaker 13: in twenty fifteen and some other surveys indicate that the
Speaker 13: people are acknowledging. About two thirds of people acknowledged that
Speaker 13: they use their phones multiple times during the work day,
Speaker 13: and I would have to point out, ironically, some of
Speaker 13: them probably answered this survey that had nothing to do
Speaker 13: with work, but it popped up while they were looking
Speaker 13: at it. Now, I know one thing that happens, but
Speaker 13: I do have important notifications that hit my phone as
Speaker 13: our staff communicates with each other to help our clients
Speaker 13: and so forth.
Speaker 1: What I have to be careful of is when that
Speaker 1: notification hits.
Speaker 13: I know it's an important one because the way I've
Speaker 13: set my phone up, but I have to make sure
Speaker 13: that I ignore all the stuff that might be there
Speaker 13: but is not important, because that's how we get sucked
Speaker 13: into the vortex of getting distracted and I'll deal with
Speaker 13: the issue at hand, and then oh, look, there's better
Speaker 13: check what's coming out of Washington right now.
Speaker 1: Got to know that right at this exact moment.
Speaker 13: So it can be very tempting to especially when we're
Speaker 13: in the news cycle that we're in now, where there's
Speaker 13: information coming fast and furious that does have an impact
Speaker 13: on us.
Speaker 1: But we can't do anything about.
Speaker 13: So my suggestion would be the use the built in tools.
Speaker 13: Whether you're an Android user or an iPhone user, Android
Speaker 13: offers something called digital well Being that will help you
Speaker 13: manage the as often as your phone distracts you, and
Speaker 13: will help you keep an eye on how much you're spend,
Speaker 13: how much time you're spending. iOS has screen time apps.
Speaker 13: All these things have built in tools to help you
Speaker 13: keep track of it. But it's discipline. It's like anything else,
Speaker 13: Brian Thomas. You have to pay attention. You have to
Speaker 13: be willing to make the sacrifice. It will help you
Speaker 13: in your career. The last thing you want to do
Speaker 13: is have your boss catch you snoozing on your phone
Speaker 13: or heaven forbid one of the other headlines in here,
Speaker 13: it's now happening during job interviews.
Speaker 1: Your interview is just about over.
Speaker 13: If you're hiring manager sees you check your phone for
Speaker 13: no good reason.
Speaker 1: At least someone would actually do that. See you know
Speaker 1: my family.
Speaker 2: You need permission basically from my wife if you plan
Speaker 2: on bringing your cell phone out at the dinner table,
Speaker 2: and you better damn will have a compelling reason to
Speaker 2: do it. It has to be extraordinarily important. Otherwise, you
Speaker 2: keep your phone in your pocket, you don't use it
Speaker 2: at the dinner table. And yeah, we go out to
Speaker 2: dinner and it's just it's room full of people that
Speaker 2: aren't talking with each other. They're staring at their cell phones.
Speaker 2: I think we all need to engage in a sense
Speaker 2: of self awareness. I like the idea of the app
Speaker 2: you said that detracts the amount of time you spend
Speaker 2: on it, because I think if people realize how much
Speaker 2: time they spend on their phones and sort of stepped
Speaker 2: out them out of side of themselves and looked at
Speaker 2: themselves staring at their phone all the time, they probably
Speaker 2: would cut down on the amount of screen time.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 13: I think that if we use these tools for the
Speaker 13: right purposes, you can get a better picture of how
Speaker 13: you look from an arm's length away. You know, no
Speaker 13: different than if I start tracking my calories with an
Speaker 13: app on my phone, I will definitely at least acknowledge
Speaker 13: that I.
Speaker 1: Need to be a better adult than I have to.
Speaker 2: Brian James, I appreciate our conversations every Monday Monday, Money Monday,
Speaker 2: Money Monday with Brian James. Thank you to you and
Speaker 2: the folks at all Worth for Nashville for loading you
Speaker 2: out every Monday. Good to hear from you, Brian. I
Speaker 2: hope you have a wonderful week. We'll talk next Monday.
Speaker 3: Hey, we got one.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you in February.
Speaker 3: I take care.
Speaker 2: Buddy Levy of the book ram of Ice and Sky.
Speaker 2: He'll be on the program next. We'll learn all about
Speaker 2: the Arctic exploration.
Speaker 1: I'll be right back.
Speaker 5: This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 2: In today's Marketers Report Kate Cronin eight thirty eight, Here
Speaker 2: fifty five KRCD talk station. Been a very happy Monday
Speaker 2: to you. I am pleased to welcome to the fifty
Speaker 2: five KRC Morning Show. Buddy Levey, author of more than
Speaker 2: ten books, including a Labyrinth of Ice, The Triumphant and
Speaker 2: Tragic Greeley Polar At Polar Expedition, and Empire of Ice
Speaker 2: and Stone, The Disastrous and Heroic Voyage of the Karl Luke.
Speaker 2: His book have been published in eight languages, won numerous awards.
Speaker 2: You may have also seen him on the History Channel.
Speaker 2: He was on History's Greatest Mysteries host by Lawrence Fishburn,
Speaker 2: and also The Unexplained with William Shatner hosting Today we've
Speaker 2: got a new book to talk about realm of ice
Speaker 2: and Sky, triumph, tragedy, and history's greatest Arctic rescue. Welcome
Speaker 2: to the fifty five Case Morning Show, Buddy Lovey. It's
Speaker 2: a pleasure to have you.
Speaker 3: On today, Sir Bryan, great to be with you.
Speaker 1: Answer me this.
Speaker 2: This has been puzzling me for a lot of years.
Speaker 2: And you may like, Okay, you got more you need,
Speaker 2: you got too much time on your hands. But I've
Speaker 2: seen a number of documentaries about polar travel North Pole,
Speaker 2: South Pole and the period in time when these these
Speaker 2: adventures were made, these daring trips into frozen wastelands. What
Speaker 2: in the hell prompted people to want to seek the
Speaker 2: poles and put their literally their lives in peril to
Speaker 2: do it. Did they have that bad home life or something.
Speaker 8: That's a great question. Well, it was multi pronged, really.
Speaker 8: I mean, part of it was initially discovery, trying to
Speaker 8: find out what was there, because early expeditions we still
Speaker 8: didn't know what was at the top and bottom of
Speaker 8: the world. Certainly these were added to fame, fortune and immortality,
Speaker 8: because if you were the ones who could discover make
Speaker 8: these discoveries, then there were lucrative book tours and lecture tours,
Speaker 8: and you would also often you know, become feted in
Speaker 8: your own country, and so there was also a nationalistic
Speaker 8: pride to it. I mean, many countries were buying for
Speaker 8: the polls, so there was a lot of different reasons.
Speaker 8: But I mean, I agree, man, these were such daunting
Speaker 8: expeditions that it's hard to imagine now putting yourself in.
Speaker 1: Such peril, it really is.
Speaker 2: That's what's always puzzled me. Is I said, these guys
Speaker 2: had to have hated their wives or something. I mean,
Speaker 2: this is just that craft crazy. Anyway, it was widely
Speaker 2: reported at least. I think you've solved the mystery on this.
Speaker 2: Who got there first? Doctor Frederick Cook claimed to have
Speaker 2: made it to the North Pole in nineteen o eight,
Speaker 2: and then a year later, as I understand, Robert Perry
Speaker 2: made the claim that he had seen the North Pole first.
Speaker 2: But what did you uncover in Realm of Ice and Sky,
Speaker 2: the book you've just released.
Speaker 8: Well, you know, there's been arguments about this ongoing since
Speaker 8: the early nineteen hundreds when Cook and Perry first made
Speaker 8: the claims, but subsequently their records were found to be
Speaker 8: either altered or fabricated. And so when Roll Dominson the
Speaker 8: Norwegian went over the Pole in an airship in nineteen
Speaker 8: twenty six with the Italian hum Berto Noble, he made
Speaker 8: what is now considered and at least I find this
Speaker 8: to be true, the first confirmed reaching of.
Speaker 3: The North Pole.
Speaker 8: And so you know, like I said, there was fame
Speaker 8: and immortality were involved, and egos were involved in so
Speaker 8: there were lots of there was fabrication, and so you know,
Speaker 8: it ended up being this kind of ongoing argument and counterclaims,
Speaker 8: and it was national and international news for years and years.
Speaker 2: Well, these were these folks that you talk about in
Speaker 2: the book, Roland Aminsen and Walter Wellman. They flew to
Speaker 2: the North Pole in a blimp right airship, that's correct.
Speaker 8: And Wellman, interestingly was an American from Ohio who was
Speaker 8: the first to try and it was really I liken
Speaker 8: it to the first astronauts. I mean, these guys were
Speaker 8: called aeronauts, and Wellman was trying this in craft that
Speaker 8: were untested. In fact, nineteen oh seven nineteen oh eight
Speaker 8: he went up there to Spalbard, this archipelago north of Norway,
Speaker 8: halfway between Norway and North Pole, and gets in one
Speaker 8: hundred and eighty five foot hydrogen filled dirigible or blimp
Speaker 8: we call them now, and with a you know, a
Speaker 8: pretty small motor on it and tries to fly a
Speaker 8: thousand miles to the North bowle and what could possibly
Speaker 8: go wrong?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 3: And so yeah, these guys were you know, Wellman was.
Speaker 8: Really really brave and he and only a couple of
Speaker 8: other guys were getting into these craft which had, like
Speaker 8: I say, never before even been tested. I mean there
Speaker 8: were they had been tested in h in France and
Speaker 8: tested in other places, but not in the Arctic. So
Speaker 8: it was really a pioneering and courageous effort that you
Speaker 8: just have to marvel at the courage of these men.
Speaker 8: And you know, some claimed at the time courage and
Speaker 8: suicidal tendency.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Really, it's the first thing that went through my mind.
Speaker 2: Untested Eric and and going into frozen wastelins, and I
Speaker 2: presume at times the wind had to kick up pretty dramatically.
Speaker 2: So if you just got a little tiny motor and
Speaker 2: you're floating around and basically what is a balloon? I mean,
Speaker 2: how do you keep yourself on course? Would be a
Speaker 2: question I would have before I went up on the thing.
Speaker 8: Right, So you're hoping for the winds to be in
Speaker 8: your favor, and there were, you know, lots of study
Speaker 8: about what the winds were doing in that part of
Speaker 8: the world at these times. But you're absolutely right. Wellman
Speaker 8: and his crew were buffeted around and blown in circles,
Speaker 8: and they had a number of devices that they had
Speaker 8: used Wellman device to try to keep them on course,
Speaker 8: including these long cables that had hooks on the ends
Speaker 8: and weights and there were you know, being they were
Speaker 8: a five hundred feet long, they could help keep them
Speaker 8: tethered to the ice. But again this was all rather
Speaker 8: rudimentary and context. You know, the Wright brothers in nineteen
Speaker 8: oh three had only recently been testing the airplane. So
Speaker 8: one of the things I found really intriguing about this
Speaker 8: story was that while Wellman was trying this, the airplane
Speaker 8: and the airship were both buying for supremacy of the skies,
Speaker 8: and so no one really quite knew whether the airship,
Speaker 8: dirigible blimp, whatever you want to call it, was going
Speaker 8: to defeat the airplane, and so it was a really
Speaker 8: open question, and that part is quite compelling.
Speaker 1: Well, in any of.
Speaker 2: These various airship of dirigible blimp trips. Did they land
Speaker 2: once they got to what would be known as the
Speaker 2: actual North Pole or do they just take photographs from above?
Speaker 8: Well, that's a really great question. Sometimes they landed unintentionally,
Speaker 8: which is called crashing. But when by the time all
Speaker 8: Amansen and Nobley into the Fray, it's about sixteen years
Speaker 8: after Wellman and they are able to definitively photograph above
Speaker 8: the North Pole and photograph, I mean, they fly all
Speaker 8: the way from Spalbard north of Norway to across the
Speaker 8: Polar Sea, across the North Pole to Teller, Alaska and
Speaker 8: make a kind of dramatic crash landing there though they
Speaker 8: all survive, and so, yeah, it's a good question. The
Speaker 8: plan had been in a number of these expeditions to
Speaker 8: try this a great question, to try to land, to
Speaker 8: try to lower people down, either from the hovering craft
Speaker 8: or kind of like landing on the Moon, or to
Speaker 8: land tether there and then get out and do some
Speaker 8: scientific study on the ice. But conditions up there were
Speaker 8: never really conducive to making intentional landings. And so you
Speaker 8: do have a lot of drama in this story about
Speaker 8: crash landings.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it was I wanted to gravitate over to
Speaker 2: a specific illustration that what is described as the disaster
Speaker 2: of the Italia.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 8: Yeah, So, after Amunson and Nobel, this Italian airship designer
Speaker 8: make a somewhat successful flight in twenty six for National Pride,
Speaker 8: Nobila decides to do it with an almost exclusively Italian
Speaker 8: crew and he makes it to the North Pole. But
Speaker 8: on the way back it can incredibly like a kind
Speaker 8: of hurricane and wins, and so they end up crashing
Speaker 8: on the ice and a number of people perish. It's
Speaker 8: very dramatic. The dirigible, you know, the control car shears
Speaker 8: away from the bottom of this dirigible. Many men are
Speaker 8: left on the ice and the others float away above
Speaker 8: them and are gone into the mist. And and Noblay
Speaker 8: and these nine other men are left on a floating
Speaker 8: ice flow for about six weeks with no one knowing
Speaker 8: exactly where they are. And it's really it's one of
Speaker 8: the most dramatic rescues in archaic history.
Speaker 3: And it's just incredible.
Speaker 2: How in the hell were they found? I mean, I presume,
Speaker 2: maybe you can correct me if I'm wrong, that they
Speaker 2: had no way of communicating. They didn't have like two
Speaker 2: way radios with the mainland or whatever.
Speaker 1: Did they Ah, But.
Speaker 8: They did so one of the men had the good
Speaker 8: sense to So this is also at the time that
Speaker 8: Marconi's wireless radio has been developed, and so one of
Speaker 8: the men had the wherewithal to leap from the crashing
Speaker 8: dirigible with a short wave two way. And they are,
Speaker 8: after a great deal of travail and innovation, are able
Speaker 8: to get communication with first of.
Speaker 3: All, with some farmer in Russia. Of all things.
Speaker 8: Here's their s OS communications and contacts the Italian government,
Speaker 8: which sets in motion this incredible rescue operation that involves
Speaker 8: it's a multi national rescue operation that involves Sweden, Norway, Finland,
Speaker 8: the United States, It's Italy and and all and all
Speaker 8: these different countries are vying to be the ones to
Speaker 8: find Nobule and his men, including dramatically, rolled Alminson, the
Speaker 8: greatest polar explorer of all time, who has retired at
Speaker 8: this time, comes out of retirement, hops in an airplane
Speaker 8: to go sweep in and save his arch nemesis Nobule.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: And then he ends up.
Speaker 8: It's a great, really Hollywood ending. I mean, what ends
Speaker 8: up happening with Noble or with Aminsen.
Speaker 3: I will give that away.
Speaker 8: He flies off, you know, with a number of men
Speaker 8: in this prototype airplane, and it's just wild what happens?
Speaker 2: Well, read all about it, I guess today, Buddy Lovey,
Speaker 2: author of Realm of Ice and Sky, Triumph Tragedy, and
Speaker 2: History's Greatest Arctic Rescue before We Park Company. Really, Chris,
Speaker 2: it's been fascinating, buddy. How is it you got involved
Speaker 2: in Arctic exploration? What drew you to it as a topic?
Speaker 8: Oh, that's a great question. I ended up going to
Speaker 8: Greenland when I was doing a bunch of journalism in
Speaker 8: the early two thousands, and I met a Norwegian woman
Speaker 8: who gave me a book called The First Crossing of
Speaker 8: Greenland by this man named free Joff Nonsen, who was
Speaker 8: a kind of protege of Amunson's. And once I started reading, well,
Speaker 8: first of all, once I went to Greenland, I was
Speaker 8: so struck by the landscape, the people, the you know,
Speaker 8: the topography, and it was just a very dangerous and
Speaker 8: foreboding place.
Speaker 3: And then I thought, oh, man, I got.
Speaker 8: Into the started reading about these Arctic explorers and I
Speaker 8: was just hooked.
Speaker 3: I couldn't stop. So there's my third book about the subject.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Well, and obviously a very successful author you are.
Speaker 2: I'm sure my listeners is going to go to get
Speaker 2: one to get a copy of ram of Ice in Sky,
Speaker 2: which we've made it easy for them to do.
Speaker 3: Buddy.
Speaker 2: It's on my blog page fifty five KRC dot com
Speaker 2: a link to click on to buy a copy of
Speaker 2: the book and enjoy it. These people were absolutely crazy, Buddy,
Speaker 2: that's all I can conclude. Absolutely crazy. But man, would
Speaker 2: a legacy left man, Buddy, real fun. It's fun talking
Speaker 2: to you. Thanks for spending the time my listeners of
Speaker 2: meaning for putting this all down on paper.
Speaker 3: Hey, my pleasure, Brian really appreciate.
Speaker 2: It, My pleasure. Indeed, have a great week. It's eight
Speaker 2: fifty one fifty five KRC. The talk stations stick around
Speaker 2: me right back after these pree four.
Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC.
Speaker 3: Steve Vere with us
