WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:10.359 Five o five. I think you've got k r C 2 00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:30.839 the talk station happen Monday. Will vation no idea what's falling? Yeah, 3 00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:33.079 you know it's kind of what this protesters at the 4 00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.280 Tesla dealership sort of conveyed by way of motivation for 5 00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:42.479 why they were there. I have no idea. So many 6 00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:44.520 videos that people and you know, ask them a question, well, 7 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:45.880 what do you protest them? What do you protests? They 8 00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:48.880 never ever go to anything specific. They're just like must 9 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.520 bad man bad Anyhow, we'll have plenty of talk about 10 00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:55.320 on that one this morning. Hope you had a wonderful weekend. 11 00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:57.359 Brian Thomas inviting phone calls as I always do. If 12 00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.520 I went three seven four, nine hundred eight two to three, 13 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:02.640 talk go with Tom five to fifty. If you have 14 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:04.879 an AT and T found Christopher Smithman coming up at 15 00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.280 seven twenty. Same as the always. They're same as always 16 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:09.359 as the case on a Monday, former Vice Mayor of 17 00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.799 the City of Cincinnati with a smith event. Monday Monday. 18 00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.040 Brian James returns eight oh five. Apparently people have the 19 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:17.519 wit scared out of him, worried about a stock market crash. 20 00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:24.480 Fifty one percent fright of a crash Wow, just go 21 00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.359 back and look at history. After the stock market crash 22 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:29.959 in the end of the twenties, Oh my god, big 23 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.200 third of the people in the United States unemployed. Just terrible, 24 00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.480 terrible situation. So especially at a time when our fiat 25 00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:41.439 currency is teetering on the brink of self destruction or 26 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:46.239 immolation or whatever. Yeah, the thirty six trillion dollars in 27 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:48.359 growing debt, somebody's gonna have to do something about that. 28 00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:50.599 And a lot of the young people, really I think, 29 00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:52.400 coming around to the more conservative side of the Ledger 30 00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:54.159 for that reason alone. They look at it and they say, 31 00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:57.200 look what you guys did to us. Government is too 32 00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:59.920 damn big. It spends too much money, and it can 33 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.879 live within its means, mean logic and reason. That is 34 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:07.000 a reasonable logical thing to presume and assume and can conclude. 35 00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:11.800 So anyway, we'll find out about the stock market potential crash, 36 00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:16.759 how tariffs affect the car buying process, futures drop among 37 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.840 tariff fears. And finally one more with Brian James. People 38 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:23.479 are adding to their rainy day fund, which I suppose 39 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.800 is a good thing to do. Empower you, Iram Melmann's 40 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:30.080 going to empower you Summar we're talking about borders and immigration. 41 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:33.319 That'll be at eight forty and reminder fifty five care 42 00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:35.319 Sea dot com. When you can't listen live, check out 43 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:37.840 the podcast page get the information right there. They got 44 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.240 the information about Honor Flight. Hope you made it to 45 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:42.680 the fiftieth anniversary tribute to the Vietnam War veterans over 46 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:44.719 the weekend. It was nice talking about that Heart for 47 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:49.479 Seniors with the Cunningham sisters. Just a couple of lovely 48 00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.960 young ladies. Inspirational they are, and I hope you were 49 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.319 a had an opportunity to give a few dollars to 50 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:57.319 the Heart for Seniors group. What they're just trying to 51 00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:01.680 do is improve people's living conditions in long term care facilities. 52 00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:05.199 Got some horrific conditions with seniors laying in their own 53 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.639 well filth, just impossible to stay up on top of it. Well, 54 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.639 they've got a solution. It's the simple one. There's electronic 55 00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:16.599 device and it lets the people there know exactly when 56 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.960 someone is in need of a change, which prevents all 57 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:24.639 kinds of horrific conditions and just quality of life issues 58 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.439 for those seniors. So it's a good organization to help 59 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:31.360 out and they were so appreciative of my listeners for 60 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.120 donating and contributing that they've been able to expand in 61 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.199 multiple facilities and they're hoping to just really take this 62 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.199 thing all over the state. And I wish them all 63 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:41.400 the luck in the world with that. So and if 64 00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.840 you donate, the beautiful Cunningham sisters will come and sing 65 00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:47.560 for a senior in your world, maybe a healthcare professional 66 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:51.960 in your world. And trust me, they are very, very 67 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:55.240 talented singers. So if you don't believe me, just go 68 00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:57.120 to the podcast and listen to it, because they did 69 00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:58.919 a short number at the end of the end of 70 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:03.240 the interview. Again I heard media app is right there 71 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.000 for you when you head on over there. You can 72 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.159 listen to the content wherever you happen to be really 73 00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:13.520 nice app So a couple of things here. One of 74 00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:17.040 hermind folks that we're gonna be at Barley Korn's Wilder, 75 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:21.120 Kentucky location this Wednesday for listener lunch. And I say 76 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:24.639 that with a certain degree of sadness. It's not because 77 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:25.959 I don't want to go to Barley Corns. It's not 78 00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:28.720 because I don't like listening to lunch. But anybody who's 79 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.279 been to listener Lunch, may recall, and she used to 80 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:34.920 call into the morning show my blind friend Barbara Lisniewski, 81 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:39.639 and I found out this morning Johnny Benstein who regularly 82 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:44.279 went to listener to Lunch as well. Anyhow, she passed away. 83 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:49.000 So apparently she was moved from her nursing home into 84 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:52.160 the university hospital, apparently with a bowel instruction. Somehow that 85 00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:58.759 resulted in her death. So sad because we lost Johnny, 86 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.480 and I guess his wife still operating his Facebook account. 87 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.360 That's quite a few listeners over the years, isn't it, Joe, 88 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.600 remember quite a few. It's always a really really sad thing. 89 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:12.079 I remember Patty so well, and wasn't it the Chef? 90 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:16.480 And that was Mark the chef? Joe and of course 91 00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:20.800 Bob from Oakley. So it's my nineteenth year in radio. 92 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.040 Made a lot of friends and of course made a 93 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.279 lot of friends at listening to Lunch and Barb love 94 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.399 coming to listen to Lunch. And I was always impressed 95 00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.360 with Barb and her ability to get out and about. 96 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:34.759 She would take that bus they have that that the 97 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:39.000 bus that helps disable people get around. She'd arrange for 98 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.720 that show up on her own. Some game toward the 99 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.040 end there she'd need some assistance, and of course some 100 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.639 the van Stein's helped her get around. Other people would 101 00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.399 pick her up, but she just was always in such 102 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:54.920 a bubbly happy mood at listener lunch. So I'm just 103 00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:56.879 just a little bit sad this morning, obviously to learn 104 00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.160 of her passing, and I knew her health was deteriorating, 105 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:02.600 but to find out that she is gone kind of 106 00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.959 hitching that soft spot, if you know what I mean. Anyhow, 107 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:11.480 and other rather tragic news. That Minimar earthquake was just insane. 108 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.319 You know, with modern social media and everybody's got a 109 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.959 cell phone, everbody's taking video, you really do get it. 110 00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:24.160 Just an amazing sort of firsthand like experience. These giant 111 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:29.800 skyscrapers wobbling back and forth, the video of the buildings collapsing, 112 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:36.000 it's just it what looks like a wasteland. Minimar's military 113 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.959 hunter has said at least as of late yesterday, at 114 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.600 least twenty twenty eight people have been confirmed at thirty 115 00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:47.360 four hundred plus injured. But it gets worse than that. 116 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.519 They expected death counts to rise sharply because well, you've 117 00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:55.839 got basically what amounts to seventy two hours that you 118 00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.079 have to live if you are trapped in rubble. Of 119 00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:00.360 course you need water, you need food, and of course 120 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.000 you probably need medical attention. So as the hours take 121 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.639 away and they're trying to get through all that rubble 122 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:09.959 with very little heavy equipment, they're expecting the death cult 123 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:16.240 to actually jump to above ten thousand. Early modeling from 124 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.920 the US Geological Survey suggests the number of earthquake deaths 125 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.279 and minim our heart lends could rise above ten thousand, 126 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:25.959 and that the economic losses might surpass the value of 127 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.040 the country's gross domestic product. This is what you call 128 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:36.560 a true Charlie foxtrot. So people are going through the rubble, 129 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:38.920 they say, you know, they don't have any heavy equipment. 130 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.839 As I mentioned, They've got flip flops on and light clothes. 131 00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:44.120 They don't have anything by way of protection, you know, 132 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:48.839 breathing protection. Been reports of the stench of death now 133 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:53.319 just everywhere in the air. Teams from Thailand, China, India, 134 00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.439 Russia and United Nations are there, but because of the 135 00:07:56.519 --> 00:08:00.800 damaged infrastructure and hubbled communications, it slow their arrival and 136 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.800 of course it makes it difficult to coordinate actions and activities. 137 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:08.079 AID workers in Mandalay said thousands of residents were sleeping 138 00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.639 out in the open, lacked everything from water to food 139 00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:13.079 and other essentials. The city has been without electricity since 140 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:17.000 the earthquakes hit, which obviously again impacts communications and efforts 141 00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:27.279 to coordinate the relief efforts and the search efforts. Of 142 00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:31.439 the videos that first came out, it was the swimming 143 00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:35.080 pools on top of these high rises. And while the 144 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:38.039 high rises themselves in clouds, obviously a lot of damage 145 00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.720 done to them, but the slashing of the water was 146 00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:44.039 gushing over the side of these buildings, and I just wow, 147 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:53.679 I just get a really unsettled feeling when I think 148 00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:55.799 I've been in the Sears Tower and you can actually 149 00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:58.919 feel that building move in high winds, and that just 150 00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:02.000 freaks the hell of me. You know, you wonder how 151 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:03.960 well it is designed. But when he hit a seven 152 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:07.399 point seven magnitude quake and you see those buildings moving, 153 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.080 you know, literally feet swaying back and forth, and again 154 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:13.200 many of them just collapsing down on top of it, 155 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.080 killing lots of people. That just freaks me out just 156 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:20.120 thinking about it. So Tremer is apparently so forceful that 157 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.600 they were felt more than six hundred miles away in 158 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.279 the tie capital of Bangkok, where a thirty story office 159 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:30.480 tower that was still under construction. It collapsed while dozens 160 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.240 of workers were inside, they said. Local media said seventeen 161 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:36.240 people were confirmed dead in Bangkok, most of them pulled 162 00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:39.000 from the wreckage of that collapsed high rise, and they 163 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:42.080 were still searching for around eighty mission construction workers so 164 00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:48.000 far and why the damage was in that one so anyhow, prayers. 165 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:51.399 I can only imagine that, like Matthew twenty five is 166 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:54.039 going to maybe organize some relief efforts. It's my favorite 167 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:55.960 go to charity if you want to help make sure 168 00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.960 that money actually gets in the hands or the food 169 00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:01.679 that donated to the supply. There's no overhead. If you 170 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:04.080 give a buck, a buck ends up where you want 171 00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:07.919 it to go. Matthew twenty five, M two five. I 172 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:10.919 think it's M twenty five m dot org online, but 173 00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:18.519 I can see M twenty five m dot or. I 174 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:26.480 want to make sure that's the right. One silence is deafening, yeah, 175 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:29.600 M twenty five, m dot org. So they're still doing 176 00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:31.919 real efforts for the tornado, and I don't know if 177 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:34.360 they're going to be They usually do so I'm just 178 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:36.080 throwing it out there and if there's a way you 179 00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:37.480 can help out. I don't know how the money ends 180 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.559 up getting all the way to Minimar, and of course 181 00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.360 they've been in a state of absolute political disarray because 182 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:47.639 of that Junta. Twenty twenty one is when that happens. 183 00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:54.720 So anyway, tragedy absolutely so thank God for the moment 184 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:57.320 you have them.

It's bout fifteen right now at 187 00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:04.799 five KRCD talk station. Feel free to coll ive. Got 188 00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:07.159 something you want to talk about? JFK coming for your 189 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:11.240 soft drinks. Got some people angry? I think it's a 190 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:14.279 great idea. Anyway, there's a whole lot going on this morning. 191 00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:15.200 I hope you can stick around of it. 192 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.840 Right back fifty five KRC Prohibition. 193 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.919 It's someone marked down on your calendar. 194 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:25.240 Next Tuesday, price sal chili be getting at five pm, 195 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:28.480 last up until seven pm at the Corey Bowman Early 196 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:32.240 Voting kickoff party. West Side. Jim Keefer asked that I 197 00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:34.240 remind folks about that, So there you go, west Side. 198 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:36.399 Jim Keefer happy to do that. I'll try to make 199 00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:38.519 a shout out throughout the morning. Put it on your 200 00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:43.279 calendar again next Tuesday, and I'll here and I think 201 00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:48.759 about that Vietnam Memorial fiftieth anniversary over the weekend. Eric 202 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:51.600 Mark on my friend reaching out to everyone in the 203 00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.279 greater Cincinnati area. Eric, I appreciate you posting this. He 204 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:57.200 was doing the laundry at the Spotless car Washing laundry 205 00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.000 manager came in for his daily clean up. He said, well, 206 00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:02.399 while we were talking, he pointed out this shadow box 207 00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:04.159 that was sitting on top of one of the fixtures 208 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:07.320 in the laundromat, and I noticed it before but hadn't 209 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.639 registered with me. He mentioned that it was tossed into 210 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:12.759 one of the trash cans next to one of the 211 00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:15.080 vehicle base. He said, I'm not sure why anyone would 212 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.200 throw out one of these out, but if it was 213 00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:19.399 a mistake, he wants to get it back in the 214 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:22.039 hands of those who might care. Wasn't able to find 215 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:25.159 this Vietnam veteran, but if you know a veteran named 216 00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:29.840 John O. Moser passed away in twenty seventeen. He born 217 00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:33.480 in nineteen forty passed away in twenty seventeen, obviously served 218 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:36.360 his country. There's the military flag box, shadow box with 219 00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:41.440 the flag in it. It's at that laundry in Addison. 220 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:47.679 So John O. Moser. Moser passed in twenty seventeen. That's 221 00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:51.120 a shame that that thing got thrown away. Anyhow, moving 222 00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:56.200 away from that, got a kick out of this. Robert F. 223 00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:59.519 Kennedy Junior Make America Healthy Again campaigns over West Virginia. 224 00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:02.080 There with Republican Governor Patrick Morrissey, who he told he 225 00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:03.840 was going to put on a carnivore diet to make 226 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:08.080 him lose thirty pounds and he could use it, but anyway. 227 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.120 For his part, the Republican governor said he was going 228 00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:12.720 to seek permission from the Department of Agriculture to put 229 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:15.519 soda on the list of items that you can't buy 230 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:20.120 with the SNAP program. He said taxpayer dollars should be 231 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:24.720 targeted toward nutritious food. Of course, Kennedy agree with them wholeheartedly. 232 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:28.279 There's one thing we can all agree on. It should 233 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.879 be eliminating taxpayer funded soda subsidies for lower income kids. 234 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:34.279 I look forward to inviting every governor who submits a 235 00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:36.320 waiver to come to celebrate with me. At the White 236 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:41.000 House this fall. Huh, Now, why would you be against 237 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:44.600 that those things are chock full of tons of sugar? 238 00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:46.639 Look at your labels and then just they tell you 239 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:48.840 what for every teaspoon that's in there, go ahead and 240 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:50.720 put it into a little bowl, and it can be 241 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.200 mind blowing how much sugar is in there. Cause of diabetes, 242 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:59.679 it contributes to obesity. Of course, it's just a terrible 243 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:09.200 em there's no good nutrition in there. Valerie in Bruce, 244 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.559 director of the Center for Environmental and Society at Washington 245 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:20.240 College or environment in Society, disagrees with this. Controlling how 246 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:24.080 the poor eat is a paternalistic response to a problem 247 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:27.360 that is not based on snap recipients inability to make 248 00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:30.679 good decisions about healthy food. It's a problem of the 249 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:35.080 price differential in choosing healthy or junk foods. Soda and 250 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:38.679 candy are much cheaper and more calorie dense than one 251 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:44.639 hundred percent fruit juices or prebiotic, non artificially sweetened carbonated beverages. 252 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.440 And here's an interesting fun fact. She threw it at 253 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:51.639 the tail end of this argument. Thanks to price supports 254 00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:54.600 and subsidies by the federal government to support a US 255 00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:57.559 sugar industry. Well, you know what they shouldn't be subsidized 256 00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:02.759 in the US sugar industry, the subsidies corn subsidies. Generally speaking, 257 00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:04.879 I don't think we should be forced to burn corn 258 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:07.519 in our gas tanks, and yet there's a subsidy for 259 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:10.720 that too, So let's just stop that. No, we're tariff 260 00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:12.440 and everything else. Why not just get rid of the 261 00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:16.159 subsidies for sugar. Maybe we'd use less of it, but 262 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:24.039 you know, you can drink water right there, it is 263 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:30.559 the tap. And then we turn over to Meredith Potter, 264 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.879 Senior vice president the American Beverage Association. Now where do 265 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:36.799 you think they come down on this one? The industry's 266 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:42.240 leading lobby group quote, what's unhelpful about this whole conversation 267 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:46.399 is that soda is not driving obesity. We become this 268 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:48.759 easy punching bag. Well, for the reasons I just pointed out. 269 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:51.200 You're an easy punching bag because of zero nutritional value. 270 00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:54.200 It's packed full of tons of calories and sugar, which 271 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:57.039 is bad for you. Cancer loves sugar too. By the way, 272 00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:58.639 I know I've made that point many times, but I 273 00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:00.440 do the research for yourself. You don't have to trust me. 274 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:02.639 I'm not a doctor. I don't play one on radio. 275 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:06.919 Maybe it isn't driving obesie. It's a variety of factors 276 00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:10.320 and conditions driving obesie. But it is a contributing factor. 277 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:13.360 If you're drinking twelve Mountain dews a day, that's going 278 00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:21.759 to cause you some health problems. Seth Defestano of the 279 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:25.399 leftist West Virginia Center on Budget and Policies that a 280 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:29.480 ban on Snap paying for soda could force shoppers out 281 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:33.279 of the state and lead to store closures. Are you 282 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:35.919 telling me the vast majority of profit margins and grocery 283 00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:40.840 stores is driven by soft drink purchases, soda purchases, And 284 00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:42.799 if so, we need to have a come to Jesus meeting, 285 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:44.840 a wake up that perhaps we're all drinking too much 286 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:50.480 damn soda. Apparently, as of right now, one of the 287 00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:53.039 senior White House advisers said about fifteen or governors are 288 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:56.840 currently talking with RFK Junior about removing Sonda soda from 289 00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:02.279 the Snap benefits CALLI means that advisor, we're not seeing 290 00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:08.559 anyone can't drink coke. We're saying no government subsidies for coke. Right, 291 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:14.359 I listen, if you take money from the federal government. 292 00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:17.559 In regardless of which form, it always comes with strings attached. Held. 293 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.279 The drinking age here in Ohio would still be nineteen 294 00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:23.200 for beer if the federal government didn't put twenty one 295 00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:26.599 age drinking on the federal funds. Change your drinking laws, 296 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:29.359 or you can't have money. This is what happens all 297 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:32.359 the time. Donald Trump is using the federal funding leverage 298 00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:35.039 to change policies and states all over this country on 299 00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:39.559 the heels of Joe Biden doing the same damn thing. Sadly, 300 00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:42.359 it's how the government works. That's why I always upset. 301 00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:44.079 If they take the money from your pocket and it 302 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:46.640 goes to DC, you're never gonna see it back unless 303 00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:49.359 it comes with a whole bunch of strings attached. Set 304 00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:51.279 five twenty six. If you five care, see the talk 305 00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:55.039 station got local stories coming up. Railroad money. Who's going 306 00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:57.680 to be paying that six hundred million dollars as a 307 00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:00.720 litigation started a day over that one, that Norfolk SA derailment. 308 00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:03.440 I'll be right back after these brief words. 309 00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:06.799 This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station. 310 00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:11.480 It is five point thirty Happy Monday. Figures five one, three, seven, nine, 311 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:13.960 fifty five eight hundred two three Taco with town five 312 00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:17.920 fifty on at and T found Norfolk Southern suing another 313 00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:19.640 couple of companies to see if they can get them 314 00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:22.039 to pay for the six hundred million dollar class action settlement, 315 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:23.599 at least pay for part of it. Remember the train 316 00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:25.319 d railment from back in two thousand and three, who 317 00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:28.880 could for twenty twenty three? Who could forget it? Apparently, 318 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:31.680 starting trial today they want to force the railcar owner 319 00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:37.920 GATX and the manufacturer oxy vinyls which was the chemical 320 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:40.720 that was released or they manufactured the chemical that was 321 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:45.160 released and poluded the entire town lossuit won't change anything 322 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:47.200 about how much the money the residents received. This is 323 00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:49.599 just who's going to pay pay what portion of the 324 00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:52.119 share of the six hundred million dollar class action settlement. 325 00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:55.799 So they've been down this road before. They already lost 326 00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:58.480 a similar lawsuit when they tried to force GATX and 327 00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:01.240 oxy Vina to help pay for the iron mental cleanup, 328 00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:06.039 which apparently cost Norfolks so other than one billion dollars. 329 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:07.880 So they're trying to make the same argument that they 330 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:10.920 need help paying for this class action lawsuit. Accord to 331 00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:13.279 the statement from the Railroad, Norfolk Southern alone has paid 332 00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:16.480 the cost related to the derailment, despite ample evidence that 333 00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:19.519 other parties share the responsibility. The trials about reinforcing the 334 00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:22.960 role shippers and railcar owners play in transportation safety and 335 00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:27.240 ensuring everyone responsible pays their fast share. They claimed GATX 336 00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:29.839 is responsible for the derailment because of the railcar that 337 00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:34.200 was filled with plastic pellets that caused the derailment when 338 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:40.960 it's bearing overheated. Norfolk Southern also says oxy Vinyl should 339 00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:44.400 pay because the railroad said the chemical manufacturer provided inconsistent 340 00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:49.079 and inaccurate information about the vinyl chloride before the officials 341 00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:51.319 decided to release and burn it, which turned out to 342 00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:54.759 be the really stupid thing to do. Both GATX and 343 00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:56.759 oxy Vinyl said it will be ridiculous to hold them 344 00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:01.720 responsible because Norfolk Southern operated and inspected the train and 345 00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:04.759 all the cars and was responsible for delivering everything safely. 346 00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:09.720 GATX said it comply with all relevant regulations for taking 347 00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:11.960 care of its railcars. They said, even if the car 348 00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:15.039 was damaged six years earlier by sitting in a middle 349 00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.640 of floodwaters from Hurricane Harvey, the railroad should have spotted 350 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.880 the problem and repaired it. NTSB said the crash was 351 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.920 caused by the failure that overheating bearing on gatx's railcar. 352 00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:30.559 Censor spotted the bearings starting to heat up miles before 353 00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:33.519 the derailment, but it didn't reach a critical temperature and 354 00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.640 trigger an alarm until just before the car derailed, little 355 00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:40.880 time to stop the train. Then, Norfolk Southern is the 356 00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:43.920 one that recommended the event and burn operation to let 357 00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:46.359 the vinyl chloride be released into the air and pollute 358 00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:50.519 the entire environment, based partly on information about the chemical 359 00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:55.119 that oxy vinyls had published beforehand, suggesting a chemical reaction 360 00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:58.599 could happen and cause the tank to explode. However, the 361 00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:02.359 NTSB confirmed in and it's investigation that was unnecessary to 362 00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:04.680 release all that crap into the air because the tanks 363 00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:08.000 were starting to cool off, and the railroad failed to 364 00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:11.319 listen to the advice from oxy vinals experts or share 365 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:13.880 their opinions with the officials who made the decision, which 366 00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:16.319 is probably why they ended up settling the class action 367 00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:22.559 lawsuit over to Kentucky. Last Thursday, Kentucky lawmakers overrode Governor 368 00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:25.440 Andy Basher's veto of House Bill four ninety five. The 369 00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:31.200 bill removes Medicaid coverage of gender affirming care, and the 370 00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:34.359 gates the governor's prior executive order to ban conversion therapy. 371 00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:39.640 There you go, see, well, congratulations on rover ride. The 372 00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:45.400 Veto Immigration Customs Enforcement agents arrested two people working at 373 00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:47.839 a construction side of the Butler County jail this week, 374 00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:50.400 according to the sheriff's announcement. Butler County Scheff Richard Jones 375 00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:54.160 said via social media the two subcontractors were arrested by 376 00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:58.440 ICE officials. Workers arrested after deputies reviewed their identification cards, 377 00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:02.599 which included driver's license asport social Security guard, before they 378 00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:05.640 entered the jailer's construction site. Sheriff Jones said that because 379 00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:08.119 the work site is a secure jail area, everyone who 380 00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:11.480 enters much show proper id corn to the press release, 381 00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:13.599 upon further review of the documents, it was determined that 382 00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:17.160 the two workers were in fact illegal aliens. An ICE 383 00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:19.400 age and conducted the interviews with the two individuals, who 384 00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:22.599 admitted that they were in the United States illegally. Construction 385 00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:25.960 company that hired the two subcontractors believe their documents were authentic. 386 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:34.400 According to Sheriff Jones, he is warning employers to be cautious. 387 00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:43.079 All right, let's see here one more.

It's that 458 00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:25.839 time stack a stupid Portland orgon. 459 00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:29.960 Got a guy who living in Portland, Oregon neighborhood wondering 460 00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:36.920 who is putting gallons that's plural of urine into his 461 00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:40.039 recycling bin and why that person is doing it. There's 462 00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:43.279 no flag for us. Alex van Dune said the problem 463 00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:45.519 started in the September when he noticed his recycling bin 464 00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:47.880 had not been collected. So I went to open the 465 00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:50.799 blue bin and lo and behold there was a nice 466 00:26:50.839 --> 00:26:54.319 deposit of gallon sized bottles of urine, to put it plainly, 467 00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:59.559 and there were six of them. Recycling horror wouldn't take 468 00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:02.559 the bin's context because it's a biohazard had been placed 469 00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:06.079 in the garbage bin it probably would have been collected. Apparently, 470 00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:08.720 the mystery man didn't stop and kept dropping off bottles 471 00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:10.960 of urine in the bin. Eventually Van don stopped putting 472 00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:13.000 his bins out of the curveball together, hoping the man 473 00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:16.799 would quit, and he did. Buddy moved on to using 474 00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:20.039 a neighbor's garbage bin instead. Van Dune said, I don't 475 00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:22.160 know why he's hitting the same location so many times. 476 00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:24.359 It doesn't make sense to me and why he's doing it. 477 00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:27.559 He has captured surveillance video of the man showing up 478 00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:29.480 to his house, getting out of his car, placing the 479 00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:32.079 bottles of urine in the recycling bin. Unfortunately, the videos 480 00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:35.279 are too grainy to tell who the guy is. He's 481 00:27:35.279 --> 00:27:38.039 also shared his ordeal on the next door app where 482 00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:41.200 neighbors have flooded the post with theories as to the 483 00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:45.559 reason behind it all, multiple theories floating around. Van Dunn, 484 00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:48.400 for his part, doesn't have any ideas filed a police report, 485 00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:50.480 is trying to get the man's license plate. 486 00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:57.440 Oh. 487 00:27:57.519 --> 00:27:59.960 He says he has a message for the mystery man 488 00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:03.519 and maybe he's watching. I don't know. Please stop, Please 489 00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:12.400 just don't do it anymore. He pled he did joke. 490 00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:16.680 It's a lot of pea. I mean, this guy's really 491 00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:21.400 pissing me off, but I'm Bob. Man and a woman 492 00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:23.960 ran a foul of the law when they were caught 493 00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:27.559 having sex on a grave at a local cemetery, which 494 00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:30.839 is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Search of the vehicle turned up a purse 506 00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:11.720 which belonged to the woman identified as forty six year 507 00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:16.519 old Stephanie Wegman of Webster.

Anyhow, over back to the 558 00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:15.279 stack of STUVID, we got a Northern Kentucky defense attorney, 559 00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:18.160 Chase Cox, sentenced last year for breaking into his ex 560 00:32:18.200 --> 00:32:21.920 girlfriend apartment, pleaded with a judge presiding of his case 561 00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:25.240 not to send him to jail.

Eight days after Cox was 565 00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:37.640 released from jail last August with his six months sentence 566 00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:40.839 suspended in favor of probation, his ex girlfriend reported that 567 00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:43.160 her vehicle was vandalized while it was parked in the 568 00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:45.160 garage for apartment complex. 569 00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:46.519 YEP. 570 00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:49.640 After months long investigation by the Newport Police Department. Cox 571 00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:53.160 indicted in December on charges related to the vandalism, including 572 00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:57.119 complicity to criminal mischief and retaliating against a participant in 573 00:32:57.160 --> 00:33:02.279 illegal process. Idiot's doing. Idiot because it is most assuredly, 574 00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:05.799 prosecutors now say, with the Kentucky Attorney General's officers seeking 575 00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:08.359 to revoke the thirty one year old Cox's probation and 576 00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:12.119 send him back to jail. It was the morning of August. 577 00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:17.039 Morning of August twenty third, last Cox's ex our friend 578 00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:18.680 went to the parking guys to get inside the car. 579 00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:22.000 She noticed a racial slur and another profanity scratched into 580 00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:26.799 the paint job, and both front tires popped and deflated. 581 00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:29.920 Woman testified against Cox in her trial last year, leading 582 00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:33.240 to his conviction on misdemeanor criminal trespass and criminal mischief charges, 583 00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:36.240 and she told police that Cox was likely behind the damage. 584 00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:38.960 Said she saw a friend of Cox's, thirty eight year 585 00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:42.519 old Joshua Baker, entered the apartment complex shortly after she 586 00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:46.680 arrived home, but didn't approach him. Investigators say Baker entered 587 00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:49.720 the building using access code belonging to another of Cox's 588 00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:53.680 friends who lives there. Surveillance video they got that showed 589 00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:56.559 Baker was in the apartment complex about ten minutes before 590 00:33:56.599 --> 00:33:59.400 he went through the side door and driving away toward 591 00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:03.200 Cox's home. When identified Baker in a photo lineup, told 592 00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:06.319 police he'd previously seen him at Cox's apartment. Cox had 593 00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:12.039 referred Baker to as his felon friend. Baker, likewise says 594 00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:15.480 criminal charges in connection with the vandalism. Baker has an 595 00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:18.840 extensive criminal history, according to court records, including prior convictions 596 00:34:18.840 --> 00:34:23.079 for drug trafficking, identity theft, and burglary.

Police 600 00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:38.039 described it as an effort to escape custody. Now for 601 00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:40.239 his part of the attorney Cox represented Baker in a 602 00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:44.760 twenty twenty one identity theft case, and the attorney's father, 603 00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:48.719 Darryl Cox, currently representing Baker in an ongoing Kenton County case. 604 00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:53.519 Cox's ex girlfriend also told police Baker was a former 605 00:34:53.559 --> 00:34:56.719 client of his. They got a search warre for Cox's 606 00:34:56.719 --> 00:34:58.920 phone found that he was sent a photo of the 607 00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:02.000 woman's parking garl taken by the driver of a vehicle, 608 00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:07.800 maxing the description of the vehicle. Baker drove photos sent 609 00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:10.239 minutes before Baker was seen entering the building, and the 610 00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:13.719 pair also exchanged calls and text messages, with Baker towing 611 00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:16.360 Cox in a text to quote call in a sec 612 00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:27.079 get money ready. Cox was apparently on home incarceration with 613 00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:29.800 an ankle monitor when the incident occurred. Prosecutor say Cox 614 00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:32.840 commissioned Baker to vanalyze the woman's car in retaliation for 615 00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:35.199 her testimony in his earlier criminal trial. 616 00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:38.000 Are we not saying phrasing anymore? 617 00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:45.840 Apparently not tempted? Burglary thwarted at a Texas car dealership 618 00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:48.119 after a man called nine to one one to report 619 00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:53.360 that he'd been injured while breaking in.

Official from the 637 00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:49.039 dealership speaking with local news the only damage of the 638 00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:51.039 business was the window that he shattered when he threw 639 00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:54.440 the rock to get inside. The only thing he has 640 00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:57.840 managed to steal was candy from the desk of a salesperson. 641 00:36:58.719 --> 00:37:01.559 He was taken to the hospital, later transport transported to 642 00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:04.199 Smith County Jail, where he was arrested for burglary of 643 00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:04.880 a building. 644 00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:09.079 Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. 645 00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:12.559 No, they didn't say what kind of candy he stole. 646 00:37:12.639 --> 00:37:23.199 Jail like guarantee it wasn't on our RFK Junior's list 647 00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:25.920 of approved food items.

And as I mentioned earlier, we have a 682 00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:03.719 listener lunch going to bar Barley Corns Wilder Location, Wilder, Kentucky. 683 00:39:03.880 --> 00:39:06.760 And it is with great sadness I know many of 684 00:39:06.760 --> 00:39:08.559 my listeners who have been to listener to lunch. Remember 685 00:39:08.679 --> 00:39:12.559 blind Barbara are my blind friend Barbara Liznwski and I 686 00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:14.119 did mention this in the last hour, and I just 687 00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:17.039 learned this morning that she has passed away. So she 688 00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:19.519 was in a nursing home and had to be taking 689 00:39:19.559 --> 00:39:22.960 to University Hospital because of a bowel obstruction which ultimately 690 00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:27.360 led to her demise. So wonderful lady, truly inspirational and 691 00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:30.519 a woman of faith she was. She's sang in her 692 00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:33.519 church choir up till almost that the very end when 693 00:39:33.519 --> 00:39:36.440 her health deteriorated, but just loved coming to listener to 694 00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:38.320 lunch and she would call in from time to time 695 00:39:38.360 --> 00:39:41.199 as well. So it's sad when I look back and 696 00:39:41.199 --> 00:39:43.480 think of the listeners that we've lost over the years, 697 00:39:44.559 --> 00:39:47.199 and just using that as an excuse to remind folks 698 00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:54.239 spend time with your loved ones. You never know. World's 699 00:39:54.239 --> 00:39:56.559 an imperfect place, and it's a dangerous place too. Going 700 00:39:56.599 --> 00:40:00.639 back to my review of the facts in that Minimar earthquake, 701 00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:04.119 Lord Almighty, more than two thousand dead already, and they're 702 00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:08.159 fully expecting more than ten thousand people to perish as 703 00:40:08.199 --> 00:40:11.519 a consequence, and just slow going is hand picking through 704 00:40:11.559 --> 00:40:14.559 the rubble. They don't have electricity, they don't have resources, 705 00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:19.119 and the damages expected to be more than their entire 706 00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:23.480 gross national product. So not exactly a wealthy area, but boy, 707 00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:27.880 just toots and prayers. You know, the world's in a 708 00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:30.199 perfect place. And YouTube maybe kit with an earthquake or 709 00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:38.280 a tornado or wildfires. Anyway, let's see here. I guess 710 00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:42.559 I was looking at these Did you feel like you 711 00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:45.840 accomplished anything? These these Tesla protests? Did it make you 712 00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:51.119 feel better? So over the weekend you had this organized 713 00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:56.559 day of protests for against Tesla's, the Tesla Takedown protest. 714 00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:01.800 It was kind of a this a group called Action Network. 715 00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:05.199 They published an interactive map online sharing the protest times 716 00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:09.280 and locations, and another website. They proclaim Elon Musk is 717 00:41:09.360 --> 00:41:13.239 destroying our democracy and he's using the fortune he built 718 00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:16.199 at Tesla to do it. In what way is he 719 00:41:16.320 --> 00:41:22.400 destroying democracy? Lots of signs saying Elon Musk is a 720 00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:27.719 Nazi fascist. Elon Musk, I mean, if anything, he's the 721 00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:33.519 antithesis of that. Fascism is the control of the means 722 00:41:33.559 --> 00:41:35.920 of production. Right, you have a business, the government tells 723 00:41:35.960 --> 00:41:37.719 you how you have to run it. Yes, it's your 724 00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:40.239 private business, but you have really literally knows say over how. 725 00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:42.599 That's kind of the system of government we live in 726 00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:45.960 under democrats and all the rules and regulations they heap 727 00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:48.360 down upon us. And it's not just democrats, mind you. 728 00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:54.880 Elon Musk is the guy who's trying to pair that back, 729 00:41:56.880 --> 00:41:58.679 trying to get rid of some of the stupid things 730 00:41:58.719 --> 00:42:00.159 that we pay for and a lot of And I 731 00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:03.559 think this is driven in large part these leftist organizations. 732 00:42:03.840 --> 00:42:06.800 They are organizing the useful idiots of the world who 733 00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:10.559 apparently are easily duped by a meme online which merely 734 00:42:10.679 --> 00:42:16.320 proclaims Elon Musk is a Nazi fascist. Really, and that's 735 00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:18.400 enough to convince you to go stand outside of a 736 00:42:18.440 --> 00:42:22.639 Tesla dealership or otherwise commit acts of vandalism because someone 737 00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:25.880 said it, even though definitionally speaking, it's the most farthest 738 00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:29.519 thing from accuracy you could ever run across. And look 739 00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:31.440 at some of the videos when people get interviewed, they 740 00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:33.800 you know, why are you here, why are you protesting Tesla? 741 00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:37.000 I hey have fact is Well wait a second. I 742 00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:40.119 saw one woman was asked about that and they said, 743 00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:43.519 what evidence do you have that he's a bad guy. Well, 744 00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:47.320 it's on the line, just go google it. And so 745 00:42:47.360 --> 00:42:50.239 she was very the woman interviewer was very kindly. You 746 00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:52.079 know kind to her. She wasn't being you know, in 747 00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:54.679 her face or yelling at her, just simply asking in 748 00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:57.800 a very nice tone of voice. Well, no, you tell 749 00:42:58.079 --> 00:43:02.039 me why you have a problem with Elon Musk. I 750 00:43:02.039 --> 00:43:03.559 don't have to do that. You can look it up 751 00:43:03.599 --> 00:43:14.360 for yourself. Oh well that's persuasive, isn't it. You got 752 00:43:14.360 --> 00:43:20.039 a seven year old Christopher Talbot arrested after allegedly striking 753 00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:24.239 a counter demonstrator to Tesla takedown protests near a Tesla dealership. 754 00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:31.119 This is a Meridian, Britian Police Department. Talot hit a 755 00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:34.280 forty nine year old man after making an obscene gesture 756 00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:38.760 toward him. So violence, huh? You know, And as I 757 00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:40.960 look over all the reporting on this, you know, mostly 758 00:43:41.039 --> 00:43:44.039 peaceful protest. Do you remember hearing that, you know, the 759 00:43:44.159 --> 00:43:46.880 fires raging in the back at anti fire, Black Lives Matter, 760 00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:49.440 it's more largely peaceful protest. But you know there's acts 761 00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:54.239 of violence all across just because Tesla. That's why Elon Musk. 762 00:43:54.280 --> 00:43:56.880 That why, And you can't get your head around why 763 00:43:56.960 --> 00:44:00.079 they're there except that these left wing organizations are stirring 764 00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:01.639 the pot and telling you you need to be there 765 00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:05.000 because well I think it's because they're funding source is 766 00:44:05.039 --> 00:44:07.920 going to be dried up. If Elon Must continues to 767 00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:10.440 go after things like US eight and all the money 768 00:44:10.440 --> 00:44:13.159 that flows out of the United States government into the 769 00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:15.039 world and then back into the pockets of these left 770 00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:18.760 wing organizations, they may have a funding problem. And it's 771 00:44:18.760 --> 00:44:21.880 been widely reported that it's they're calling this astro turf 772 00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:23.880 that many of the people that show up at these 773 00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:29.360 protests are getting paid to do it. Surprising coordination of 774 00:44:29.400 --> 00:44:31.679 the quit time, it was reported in several of them. 775 00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:33.800 You know, they all got up and left right at noon. 776 00:44:33.920 --> 00:44:35.599 I guess that's when the clock was over. It was 777 00:44:35.599 --> 00:44:38.079 time to punch out. You need to be here between 778 00:44:38.119 --> 00:44:40.960 eight and noon and you'll get however much money? Is 779 00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:44.119 that a real grassroots protest? Is they are? They really 780 00:44:44.320 --> 00:44:47.079 genuinely there because their belief systems and because they think 781 00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:53.159 Elon's doing something bad. And we even moving away from 782 00:44:53.159 --> 00:44:57.400 the somewhat conspiratorial sounding thing that these left winging organizations 783 00:44:57.440 --> 00:45:01.000 are organizing this, you know what vest interest does someone 784 00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:06.880 have to stand outside and protest Tesla the automobile or 785 00:45:06.920 --> 00:45:10.159 even protest Elon Musk and his efforts to ferret out fraud, waste, 786 00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:12.440 and abuse. Does that person really think it's a good 787 00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:16.639 idea to have hundreds of thousands of people that reportedly 788 00:45:16.679 --> 00:45:18.639 are over the age of one hundred and twenty with 789 00:45:18.760 --> 00:45:22.400 active Social Security numbers on the Social Security ranks. Aren't 790 00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:24.920 you worried that social Security is going to collapse under 791 00:45:24.920 --> 00:45:27.840 its own weight because it is, And isn't that something 792 00:45:27.880 --> 00:45:30.360 that's done that has step at getting those rolls off 793 00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:32.800 or getting those ranks cleared up is something that will 794 00:45:32.800 --> 00:45:37.679 help preserve it to some degree. Anyway, if you leave 795 00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:40.159 them open and on there, someone might be able to 796 00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:42.760 use them and draw benefits from socials security. And I'm 797 00:45:42.800 --> 00:45:45.480 not saying that that's happened widespread. They're still looking into it. 798 00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:47.519 But if you're really on the side of wanting to 799 00:45:47.599 --> 00:45:50.679 keep Social Security intact, then you've got to appreciate what 800 00:45:50.760 --> 00:45:55.320 Elon Musk has done. Do these people outside the Tesla 801 00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:57.679 dealerships and screaming to people that owning Tesla's do they 802 00:45:57.679 --> 00:45:59.719 think it's a great idea to spend twenty million dollars 803 00:45:59.719 --> 00:46:04.360 for same street in Iran or wherever that was, or 804 00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:08.119 all of the other crazy programs that USA funded. Do 805 00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:12.199 they have a vested interest in those programs. I find 806 00:46:12.239 --> 00:46:18.239 it impossibly that they do ask him about one specific program. Okay, 807 00:46:18.239 --> 00:46:20.119 so you're protesting about do you have any problem with 808 00:46:20.199 --> 00:46:23.880 him eradicating like pill in the blank, tester him on that. 809 00:46:24.000 --> 00:46:26.079 You know, go down the list of all the crazy 810 00:46:26.119 --> 00:46:28.639 stuff that we've learned because one man put pen to 811 00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:31.079 paper and got some group of people around him that 812 00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:33.320 are good at finding this kind of crap and tried 813 00:46:33.320 --> 00:46:40.000 to put an end to it. But overall, when you 814 00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:42.599 step back from all this, you see a lot of violence. 815 00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:48.159 And for years under the Biden administration, another the Obama administration, 816 00:46:48.320 --> 00:46:50.599 and you know, even all those squeaky wheels in the 817 00:46:50.639 --> 00:46:53.840 Trump administration during the first term, where were the big 818 00:46:53.920 --> 00:46:57.360 concerns expressed by our government entities, the Department of Justice 819 00:46:57.400 --> 00:47:02.039 and others. It was white right wing extremists. It was 820 00:47:02.280 --> 00:47:05.360 racist out in the world. They represented the biggest challenge 821 00:47:05.360 --> 00:47:08.679 and problem to American law enforcement. Meanwhile, all around him, 822 00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:11.039 it's all these left wing organizations are the ones that are 823 00:47:11.039 --> 00:47:15.039 committing act of violence and burning buildings down, the ones 824 00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:17.519 that are throwing paint over monuments, the ones that are 825 00:47:17.519 --> 00:47:27.079 throwing paint on artwork. Destructive. Yes, property damage, yes, sometimes violence. 826 00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:30.760 It's all coming from the left side of the ledger. 827 00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:35.119 And what are they offering you? You have more and 828 00:47:35.159 --> 00:47:37.840 more articles coming out about the Democrats just sort of 829 00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:41.280 beside themselves and disbelieve because they don't know where to go. 830 00:47:41.440 --> 00:47:44.760 They don't know what their brand is. The brand right 831 00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:49.960 now is just scream out loud, angry, loud noise, loud noise, 832 00:47:50.039 --> 00:47:52.599 loud noise, and then stick the word Trump or musk 833 00:47:52.679 --> 00:47:55.159 in there. And that's what you stand for right now, 834 00:47:57.000 --> 00:48:04.880 that's it or bizarre stuff that nobody in America wants. 835 00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:12.840 Men aren't women, Women aren't men. And that's a hill 836 00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:16.599 the left is gonna die on when poll after poll 837 00:48:16.679 --> 00:48:19.800 after poll after poll reflects that the American population is 838 00:48:19.880 --> 00:48:23.320 sane and follows medicine and science in the sense that 839 00:48:23.599 --> 00:48:26.639 you know it's a chromosomal difference. Are you packed with 840 00:48:26.800 --> 00:48:28.960 this type of gear or that type of gear? It 841 00:48:28.960 --> 00:48:31.519 seems to be determined above your gender, and just by 842 00:48:31.559 --> 00:48:33.639 denying it and saying to the other gender, we are 843 00:48:33.719 --> 00:48:35.960 not going to accept it and go along with you 844 00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:40.039 because we know that's not right. That's what the Democrat 845 00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:42.599 Party stands for. Not everybody in the Democrat Party believes 846 00:48:42.599 --> 00:48:48.079 that the polling reflects it. It's one little segment of 847 00:48:48.119 --> 00:48:52.159 the Democrat Party, but yet that segment has taken over completely. 848 00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:06.480 Colorado Senator Michael Bennett, He's Democratic Party brand, he called 849 00:49:06.519 --> 00:49:11.119 it problematic. It was I meet the press yesterday, really problematic. 850 00:49:11.119 --> 00:49:13.440 I guess for his actual words, I agree, the Democratic 851 00:49:13.679 --> 00:49:17.000 brand is really problematic. It's a brand that's associated with 852 00:49:17.079 --> 00:49:20.440 New York and California, is associated with the educated elite 853 00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:22.760 in this country and not anymore with the working people 854 00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:27.159 in this country. Betto was asked me to agree with 855 00:49:27.719 --> 00:49:30.920 California Governor Gavin Newsom's assertion the Democratic Party brand is 856 00:49:31.119 --> 00:49:36.599 toxic Newsom's word, which he said on Bill Maher's program 857 00:49:36.599 --> 00:49:44.159 on Friday. Bet It'd appear to concur with Newsom's conclusion, 858 00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:50.320 harshly criticizing the party for losing touch with everyday voters. 859 00:49:50.960 --> 00:49:54.119 The Democrats need to present a compelling vision for the 860 00:49:54.119 --> 00:49:56.440 future of the country, and the faire to do so 861 00:49:56.599 --> 00:50:00.559 was responsible for President Donald Trump's now too non executive 862 00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:03.119 wins quote. The Democratic Party has lost touch with working 863 00:50:03.119 --> 00:50:05.559 people in our country at a time when fifty years 864 00:50:05.599 --> 00:50:08.639 of trickle down economics has meant that most Americans feel like, 865 00:50:08.719 --> 00:50:11.519 no matter how hard they work, their kids aren't going 866 00:50:11.599 --> 00:50:13.519 to live a life better than the life they led. Well, 867 00:50:13.519 --> 00:50:15.480 if you hadn't a Douglas in a twenty thirty six 868 00:50:15.599 --> 00:50:17.840 trillion dollar hole, maybe they would have a future that 869 00:50:17.880 --> 00:50:20.960 they might, you know, be positive about. They're going to 870 00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:23.760 be left to pay down that they're killed children. If 871 00:50:23.760 --> 00:50:25.599 they haven't, You're going to be left to pay that down, 872 00:50:26.519 --> 00:50:28.519 or the system will collapse on under the weight of 873 00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:30.840 itself because of the interest payments we're making on that 874 00:50:31.920 --> 00:50:34.920 and so Security, Medicaid, medicare in a state of disarray 875 00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:38.280 and leading to their ultimate demise. Of those programs too, 876 00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:41.719 because they've been mismanaged all these years. I mean, come on, 877 00:50:41.760 --> 00:50:44.159 you got a lot of problems on your hands. But 878 00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:48.760 screaming and just name calling that is not an argument. 879 00:50:48.840 --> 00:50:50.960 It is not an advancement of a specific set of 880 00:50:51.000 --> 00:50:53.880 proposals and principles that are an alternative to what Americans 881 00:50:53.920 --> 00:50:56.480 pretty much won. Donald Trump's approval rating is pretty damn 882 00:50:56.519 --> 00:50:59.920 good right now. New CBS poll He's got fifty percent approve, 883 00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:04.719 which was higher than any point during his last term. Now, 884 00:51:04.800 --> 00:51:07.039 some people have a problem with how he's dealing with 885 00:51:07.079 --> 00:51:09.800 the inflation and somebody the economy, but only by a 886 00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:14.039 couple of extra digits. They love what he's doing with immigration, 887 00:51:14.719 --> 00:51:19.559 very great numbers in terms of how he's handling immigration. So, 888 00:51:19.960 --> 00:51:22.679 in spite of all the yelling, yell, yell, yell, yeo yell, 889 00:51:23.159 --> 00:51:25.920 people still seem to be genuinely appreciative of what Donald 890 00:51:25.920 --> 00:51:27.920 Trump's doing for the country. So for SAX six nineteen 891 00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:30.760 fifty five Kars Detalk station, feel free to call love 892 00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:33.119 to hear from.

We had some folks over Saturday cooked 931 00:53:18.159 --> 00:53:21.280 a fantastic Neil really enjoyed it and other than that 932 00:53:21.360 --> 00:53:23.719 just kind of kicked back. So yeah, it was nice. 933 00:53:24.760 --> 00:53:28.400 Was So my question is, I'm not very smart person, 934 00:53:28.519 --> 00:53:31.760 but why is it that we are borrowing money? 935 00:53:31.800 --> 00:53:33.679 Why aren't we the one loading money. 936 00:53:33.719 --> 00:53:35.239 We are such a big economy. 937 00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:38.039 We should be loading countries money and to having it, 938 00:53:38.239 --> 00:53:39.039 you know, come. 939 00:53:38.880 --> 00:53:40.400 Back to us with interest and stuff. 940 00:53:40.440 --> 00:53:41.719 Why isn't the other way around? 941 00:53:41.719 --> 00:53:44.719 There's something in our economy that makes it where we 942 00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:46.159 have to do this that way or what. 943 00:53:46.559 --> 00:53:48.639 Well, we always give money away because we're trying to 944 00:53:48.639 --> 00:53:51.519 buy friendship. It's what the Chinese are engaged in right now, 945 00:53:51.880 --> 00:53:54.440 and they're ever growing presence because they're taking a queue 946 00:53:54.440 --> 00:53:56.719 from us. You start throwing out money in the world, 947 00:53:56.800 --> 00:54:00.599 people adopt your policies and adopt your security interest and 948 00:54:00.719 --> 00:54:02.800 of course get addicted to the bbilical court of your 949 00:54:02.800 --> 00:54:05.599 money flowing in, so you get to bend their will 950 00:54:06.320 --> 00:54:09.280 to your favor. Well, and at some point you realize 951 00:54:09.280 --> 00:54:11.280 that you're now thirty six trillion dollars in debt, you 952 00:54:11.280 --> 00:54:13.800 got to trillion dollars annual interest payment on it, and 953 00:54:13.840 --> 00:54:17.440 your own systems and your own social safety welfare net 954 00:54:17.480 --> 00:54:20.119 has not been tended to end minded to the point 955 00:54:20.159 --> 00:54:22.320 where all the people in your country who have relied 956 00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:25.199 on your promises to keep them in retirement and take 957 00:54:25.239 --> 00:54:29.119 care of their medicine, etc. Can't rely on that anymore. So, 958 00:54:29.840 --> 00:54:33.400 you know, you would think that your idea would really work, Tony, 959 00:54:33.519 --> 00:54:36.880 I gotta admit, but that's just not how it's turned 960 00:54:36.880 --> 00:54:40.159 out for us. Too many politicians not paying attention to 961 00:54:40.199 --> 00:54:43.280 what's going on and keeping their own personal interest in mind. 962 00:54:43.519 --> 00:54:45.320 You got a lot of rhinos out there. They see 963 00:54:45.320 --> 00:54:47.280 their pet project in their state and they're not going 964 00:54:47.360 --> 00:54:49.840 to give up a single dime worth of that money, 965 00:54:50.039 --> 00:54:52.320 which of course prompts the Democrats to do the same thing. 966 00:54:52.360 --> 00:54:54.920 They're the big spenders, they're the big government types. They 967 00:54:55.000 --> 00:54:59.960 are the fascists of the world. Let's get our definition straight. 968 00:55:00.280 --> 00:55:02.159 Appreciate it, Tony Jim hang on, if you don't mind 969 00:55:02.159 --> 00:55:04.079 for a moment, I promise to take your call right 970 00:55:04.119 --> 00:55:05.639 out of the gate.

Welcome to the program. 1003 00:56:34.400 --> 00:56:37.280 Good morning, Brian. A couple of things. First all, last 1004 00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:40.559 week I think Astrity were talking about something and dealing 1005 00:56:40.559 --> 00:56:42.199 with the cops and the kids and stuff. Was like 1006 00:56:42.679 --> 00:56:45.199 the solution is to give kids snacks at the bus 1007 00:56:45.239 --> 00:56:51.400 stop to stop crime and nuts. But what you're talking 1008 00:56:51.440 --> 00:56:54.440 about this morning about the test list things. Somebody I 1009 00:56:54.519 --> 00:56:57.199 think it's on the northwest side of town. Some buddy. 1010 00:56:57.239 --> 00:57:00.239 There's a group chann lines and reporting on a group 1011 00:57:00.280 --> 00:57:05.000 of knuckleheads that were initially they're all worried about the 1012 00:57:05.039 --> 00:57:09.280 department that they had being removed and how that's going 1013 00:57:09.320 --> 00:57:12.599 to impact the schools, which is for the better, I 1014 00:57:12.639 --> 00:57:16.199 would think, But they were the ones out leading this 1015 00:57:16.320 --> 00:57:19.119 Tesla thing the other day. It's like, I got no 1016 00:57:19.280 --> 00:57:20.960 clue what that's got to do with schools. 1017 00:57:21.000 --> 00:57:25.440 But yeah, whatever, Well that's the conclusion I'm left with. Whatever. 1018 00:57:25.880 --> 00:57:28.440 I mean, your day of rage is over with. You 1019 00:57:28.440 --> 00:57:31.199 accomplish nothing. The dealership is still there, people still like 1020 00:57:31.239 --> 00:57:34.280 their Teslas, and all you're doing is ruining and endeavoring 1021 00:57:34.320 --> 00:57:38.559 to ruin, literally take down a company it employs one 1022 00:57:38.599 --> 00:57:40.880 hundred thousand people and apparently makes a product that people 1023 00:57:40.920 --> 00:57:43.159 absolutely love or at least used to love until they 1024 00:57:43.159 --> 00:57:45.800 turn it into a political symbol. And the Left is 1025 00:57:45.840 --> 00:57:48.079 just doing this to manipulate useful idiots that don't even 1026 00:57:48.119 --> 00:57:50.760 know why they're there screaming about Elon musk Olive ark. 1027 00:57:50.800 --> 00:57:53.400 What does that mean? He's a man doing a job 1028 00:57:53.440 --> 00:57:55.840 for free that is trying to save us from ourselves. 1029 00:57:55.880 --> 00:57:58.679 He's pointing out all the fraud, wasted abuse, and government 1030 00:57:58.719 --> 00:58:01.639 giving us great illustrations and pointing out that we do 1031 00:58:01.679 --> 00:58:04.679 a terrible job minding the money that they take from 1032 00:58:04.800 --> 00:58:07.880 our paychecks. Is that what's got them angry? Are you 1033 00:58:07.960 --> 00:58:10.039 angry about that. I mean, I don't understand why you 1034 00:58:10.159 --> 00:58:12.360 can be. I'm looking at a mean right now. Don't 1035 00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:14.559 be afraid to call things what they are. MAGA is 1036 00:58:14.599 --> 00:58:20.199 a terrorist organization, they said that on this really in 1037 00:58:20.239 --> 00:58:24.400 what way, shape or form. ICE is a secret police 1038 00:58:24.400 --> 00:58:27.159 force conducting ethnic cleansing. It went on to say, no, 1039 00:58:28.119 --> 00:58:31.480 citizenship is not based on ethnicity. Now, many of the 1040 00:58:31.519 --> 00:58:34.480 folks coming across the border have a certain ethnicity. I 1041 00:58:34.599 --> 00:58:38.280 happen to have an Irish and English ethnicity. That's where 1042 00:58:38.280 --> 00:58:40.800 my ancestors are coming from. But I'm a white guy, 1043 00:58:40.840 --> 00:58:44.440 so apparently it's anybody who's not white. This is ethnic cleansing. 1044 00:58:44.440 --> 00:58:46.639 Although we have a country that is a melting pot 1045 00:58:46.679 --> 00:58:49.159 fill of people with all different races, creeds, and colors 1046 00:58:49.199 --> 00:58:53.280 of skin. If you're here illegally, it has nothing to 1047 00:58:53.320 --> 00:58:55.760 do with your race. It's a question of the legal 1048 00:58:55.800 --> 00:58:58.159 status and you're here and if you're a criminal. For 1049 00:58:58.239 --> 00:59:01.400 God's sake, I think we can uniformly agree, as the 1050 00:59:01.440 --> 00:59:05.440 polling suggests we do in large numbers. You need to 1051 00:59:05.440 --> 00:59:07.119 be kicked out of the country because you're a threat 1052 00:59:07.159 --> 00:59:13.039 to our society. Doesn't matter whether you're white or yellow 1053 00:59:13.239 --> 00:59:15.719 or brown or any other color. Let's look at the 1054 00:59:15.719 --> 00:59:17.840 box here. Are you here legally? Or did you break 1055 00:59:17.880 --> 00:59:20.239 the law entering the country? Okay? You did break our 1056 00:59:20.280 --> 00:59:25.119 immigration laws. Have you committed crimes? Okay, there's a check 1057 00:59:25.199 --> 00:59:28.480 mark boom in that check sheet of deciding whether someone's 1058 00:59:28.519 --> 00:59:30.360 allowed to stay in our country or kick them out. 1059 00:59:30.440 --> 00:59:32.239 Is there anything about the color of their skin? No, 1060 00:59:32.440 --> 00:59:35.760 but there they are making the charge. It's like people 1061 00:59:35.760 --> 00:59:38.039 critical of the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Oh, you're just 1062 00:59:38.280 --> 00:59:41.960 racist against Chinese people. No, we're not. It just happened 1063 00:59:42.000 --> 00:59:44.079 to be the Chinese people ran the Wuhan Institute of 1064 00:59:44.119 --> 00:59:47.760 Virology and it's Chinese Communist Party. More fundamentally, nothing wrong 1065 00:59:47.800 --> 00:59:50.880 with the Chinese people as a racist people. I just 1066 00:59:50.920 --> 00:59:55.719 disagree with their former government. I mean, these statements don't 1067 00:59:55.719 --> 00:59:58.920 make any sense. New Hampshire, Gary, Welcome to the program. 1068 00:59:58.920 --> 01:00:00.320 I'm always good to hear from you, my friend. 1069 01:00:01.719 --> 01:00:03.679 Hey, Brian, how are you doing this morning? 1070 01:00:04.039 --> 01:00:04.239 Yeah? 1071 01:00:04.599 --> 01:00:05.880 A little wound up. 1072 01:00:06.079 --> 01:00:07.760 Yeah, it's better to be better to be wound up 1073 01:00:07.800 --> 01:00:09.639 on a money than a sleep. Because I had a 1074 01:00:09.840 --> 01:00:12.119 miserable night's sleep last night. I think it's because we 1075 01:00:12.159 --> 01:00:13.960 had pizza for dinner and it didn't sit well with 1076 01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:14.840 me regardless though. 1077 01:00:15.440 --> 01:00:18.599 Yeah, oh my goodness, Yeah, I've been up since too. 1078 01:00:18.960 --> 01:00:22.719 Don't ask me why, I just have. Hey, just just 1079 01:00:22.800 --> 01:00:25.320 to let you give you a little little First of all, 1080 01:00:25.840 --> 01:00:30.760 my condolence for Bard, Yeah, a long term. I'll set 1081 01:00:30.800 --> 01:00:33.960 a prayer for her now that she's crossed over and 1082 01:00:34.039 --> 01:00:39.840 we'll appreciate that. And and second of all, we really 1083 01:00:39.920 --> 01:00:45.480 appreciate you and Joe as a morning team. You guys 1084 01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:48.400 are you know, it's got to be hard to hear 1085 01:00:48.480 --> 01:00:51.199 all of this every day. We thrive on it. But 1086 01:00:52.000 --> 01:00:55.400 you know, yeah, I think it makes you more mature 1087 01:00:55.519 --> 01:00:58.360 over the years that you've been here. I don't think 1088 01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:02.360 you're as naive or I know, definitely I'm not the 1089 01:01:02.440 --> 01:01:04.960 same way I was twenty years ago when I started 1090 01:01:05.039 --> 01:01:09.039 listening to you eighteen years ago, actually listening to your dad. 1091 01:01:10.079 --> 01:01:10.320 You know. 1092 01:01:10.679 --> 01:01:13.519 Yeah, Well, you know, the more you read, the more 1093 01:01:13.519 --> 01:01:17.119 your knowledge base increases, and the more you can sort 1094 01:01:17.159 --> 01:01:19.000 of see the forest for the trees, if you know 1095 01:01:19.039 --> 01:01:19.519 what I mean. 1096 01:01:20.119 --> 01:01:24.719 So, yeah, but let me tell you something I get 1097 01:01:24.760 --> 01:01:27.760 from the New Hampshire aspect. I talked to people up here, 1098 01:01:28.079 --> 01:01:32.440 and it's mostly the co exists. People with the yard 1099 01:01:32.559 --> 01:01:35.599 signs out hate has no home, must he at the 1100 01:01:35.639 --> 01:01:39.840 Festiality dealership, you know, so you know, you just look 1101 01:01:39.840 --> 01:01:45.119 at their They say one hypocrisy, I guess you'd call it. 1102 01:01:46.039 --> 01:01:48.599 You say one thing and do another. Right, it's the 1103 01:01:48.599 --> 01:01:51.000 only peaceful if if I. 1104 01:01:50.920 --> 01:01:52.360 Agree with you exactly. 1105 01:01:53.760 --> 01:01:57.239 Yeah, in the meantime, what the beatings begin. And it's 1106 01:01:57.280 --> 01:02:02.760 actually a shame because there actually destroying this country because 1107 01:02:02.760 --> 01:02:07.079 how many people have stock market value invested in their 1108 01:02:07.320 --> 01:02:11.840 four oh one ks for Tesla and anything like that, 1109 01:02:12.400 --> 01:02:15.559 or how many people work for Tesla. Those people get 1110 01:02:15.679 --> 01:02:19.639 hurt in addition, and all for what. Because the Democrats 1111 01:02:19.639 --> 01:02:22.920 are getting their way, they'll destroy anything to get in 1112 01:02:22.960 --> 01:02:26.079 their way. Don't get me wrong, Republicans would do the 1113 01:02:26.119 --> 01:02:28.559 same thing if we allow. 1114 01:02:28.360 --> 01:02:30.880 That, if we allow it. 1115 01:02:30.840 --> 01:02:35.400 Politics, right, it's destructive, Yeah, it really is. 1116 01:02:35.480 --> 01:02:37.360 I don't get out the path of violence, man, that's 1117 01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:39.159 my But you know, you got to remember there's a 1118 01:02:39.159 --> 01:02:41.599 lot of evil forces out there, like George Soros who 1119 01:02:41.639 --> 01:02:46.320 wants our country to end as it currently exists, and 1120 01:02:46.400 --> 01:02:48.320 all the destruction that'll go along with it. I mean, 1121 01:02:48.360 --> 01:02:50.519 we must even be the point, you know, we're like 1122 01:02:50.800 --> 01:02:55.079 the foundation upon which the globe functions. Financially, we're that wealthy. 1123 01:02:55.159 --> 01:02:57.480 We have so much money out of the world, and 1124 01:02:57.519 --> 01:02:59.679 we prop up so many countries and we engage in 1125 01:02:59.679 --> 01:03:02.760 common and trade with them. If you end the United States, 1126 01:03:02.800 --> 01:03:05.400 you end all of that from happening, and the world 1127 01:03:05.519 --> 01:03:09.719 spirals into misery. That apparently is what they're after and 1128 01:03:09.760 --> 01:03:13.119 what they want. It's frightening, though, but that's that's the 1129 01:03:13.199 --> 01:03:17.320 end result of bringing down America one stock market, one 1130 01:03:17.320 --> 01:03:20.480 company publicly traded company at a time. Yeah, four to one. 1131 01:03:20.599 --> 01:03:23.719 K's vanished, people's investments vantaged, people are out of work 1132 01:03:23.760 --> 01:03:27.880 and on the streets, and it further devolves into extra chaos. Yeah, 1133 01:03:27.960 --> 01:03:30.400 that's great. Let's bring back the Great Depression. Great idea. 1134 01:03:30.679 --> 01:03:32.800 Appreciate it New Amster, Gary six thirty eight fifty five 1135 01:03:32.840 --> 01:03:35.239 KRC Detalk station five point three seven four nine fifty 1136 01:03:35.239 --> 01:03:37.679 five hundred eight two to three talk and don't pay 1137 01:03:37.679 --> 01:03:39.599 outrageous to be a save a month, don't pay outrageous 1138 01:03:39.639 --> 01:03:42.199 months to get a good to a hospital imaging department 1139 01:03:42.199 --> 01:03:44.519 to get an MRI, a CT scan, an echo cardiogram. 1140 01:03:44.639 --> 01:03:48.159 Ultrasound imaging can be quite affordable by comparison to the 1141 01:03:48.199 --> 01:03:51.239 outrageous price they charge at those hospital imaging departments where 1142 01:03:51.320 --> 01:03:53.920 echo cardigram and you may have to wait a month 1143 01:03:53.920 --> 01:03:55.639 to get in.

I went three seven 1172 01:05:17.519 --> 01:05:21.039 fifty two to three talk and here we go more violence. 1173 01:05:22.719 --> 01:05:27.320 Headquarters of the Republican Party in New Mexico torched yesterday, 1174 01:05:28.079 --> 01:05:30.159 which is what the authorities are calling a deliberate act 1175 01:05:30.199 --> 01:05:34.599 of urson. Republican Party New Mexico, and a social media 1176 01:05:34.599 --> 01:05:37.480 post showed the damages of the Shaped States Up headquarters 1177 01:05:37.480 --> 01:05:41.840 in Albuquerque, where spray painted on the wall ice equals 1178 01:05:41.960 --> 01:05:47.320 KKK right for all the reasons. I just pointed out 1179 01:05:47.360 --> 01:05:50.039 that it's so misguided that you know you're an idiot. 1180 01:05:50.159 --> 01:05:52.519 I'm sorry, you're just an idiot and burning the place 1181 01:05:52.599 --> 01:05:58.199 down obviously not good either. According to the Post earlier 1182 01:05:58.239 --> 01:06:00.320 this morning, the entry where the Republican Party New Mextch's 1183 01:06:00.320 --> 01:06:03.400 headquarters in Albuquerque was destroyed in a deliberate act of arson, 1184 01:06:03.440 --> 01:06:06.440 which also included spray painting the words ice equals KKK. 1185 01:06:07.079 --> 01:06:11.480 This horrific attack, fueled by hatred and intolerance, is a 1186 01:06:11.519 --> 01:06:13.960 direct assault on our values, freedoms, and our rights to 1187 01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:17.760 political expression. Deeply relieved that no one was harmed in 1188 01:06:17.800 --> 01:06:21.320 what could have been a tragic, deadly attack. That from 1189 01:06:21.360 --> 01:06:24.679 a statement from Amy Barrella, the chairwoman of the Republican 1190 01:06:24.679 --> 01:06:27.440 Party in New Mexico, she said, those who resort to 1191 01:06:27.519 --> 01:06:30.760 violence to undermine our state and nation must be held accountable, 1192 01:06:30.800 --> 01:06:34.360 and our state leaders must reinforce through decisive action that 1193 01:06:34.440 --> 01:06:38.960 these cowardly attacks will not be tolerated. So we're looking 1194 01:06:38.960 --> 01:06:41.920 forward to looking to work with the Bureau of Alcohol, 1195 01:06:41.920 --> 01:06:46.079 Tobacco on Firearms, local law enforcement, federal investigators committed to 1196 01:06:46.519 --> 01:06:49.280 providing every piece of evidence necessary to bring those responsible 1197 01:06:49.320 --> 01:06:51.239 to justice and ensure that they are prosecuted to the 1198 01:06:51.239 --> 01:06:54.000 fullest extent of a law. Well yeah, well let's hope 1199 01:06:54.000 --> 01:06:59.719 they are too. And you know, as wet as I 1200 01:06:59.760 --> 01:07:03.280 am to my little libertarian values. It would never cross 1201 01:07:03.400 --> 01:07:12.960 my mind to like torch George Soros's headquarters or something. 1202 01:07:14.440 --> 01:07:17.480 You end up negating your own message when you do that. 1203 01:07:18.880 --> 01:07:22.880 I mean you've got logic and reason on your side, 1204 01:07:23.519 --> 01:07:26.760 or at least I claim to. I believe you're capable 1205 01:07:26.800 --> 01:07:29.719 of managing your own affairs. From choosing and picking and 1206 01:07:29.800 --> 01:07:32.440 choosing what you want to spend your money on, getting 1207 01:07:32.480 --> 01:07:37.440 an education that's available to you. It's right there, making 1208 01:07:37.519 --> 01:07:40.719 responsible choices, or not suffering the consequences of poor choices, 1209 01:07:40.760 --> 01:07:43.400 and hopefully learning from them and then not going down 1210 01:07:43.440 --> 01:07:49.599 that road again. It's called life experience. Choosing who you 1211 01:07:49.639 --> 01:07:52.480 want to sleep with knock yourself out. I don't have 1212 01:07:52.480 --> 01:07:54.440 any control over that. The minute I come after you, 1213 01:07:54.480 --> 01:07:56.440 that's the day that I decide that I have fixed 1214 01:07:56.519 --> 01:07:59.440 everything and every imperfection of my life that's never going 1215 01:07:59.519 --> 01:08:02.519 to happen. Live your life, libertarian. Trust you with your 1216 01:08:02.519 --> 01:08:05.920 wallet and your zipper. I can live in this world 1217 01:08:06.760 --> 01:08:12.639 comfortably with gay stray people. Even bisexual people. Don't tell 1218 01:08:12.679 --> 01:08:14.400 me though a man can be a woman. That's different. 1219 01:08:14.519 --> 01:08:16.600 I don't have to abide by that, but I'm happy 1220 01:08:16.640 --> 01:08:19.000 to live in a society that has people to believe 1221 01:08:19.039 --> 01:08:22.960 their women or men when they're biologically not. That's what 1222 01:08:23.039 --> 01:08:26.159 freedom's all about. But that freedom also includes my right 1223 01:08:26.239 --> 01:08:30.640 to make my own choices. You're not going to indoctrinate 1224 01:08:30.720 --> 01:08:33.680 me into thinking something completely contrary to logic and reason. 1225 01:08:33.920 --> 01:08:37.000 It's a beautiful thing. So we have the arguments on 1226 01:08:37.039 --> 01:08:39.920 our side, and screaming and yelling and wailing and gnashing 1227 01:08:39.920 --> 01:08:42.600 and teeth is never, ever, ever an effective strategy, and 1228 01:08:42.640 --> 01:08:45.640 that's exactly what this basically turns into. Well, I hate 1229 01:08:45.680 --> 01:08:48.319 the Republicans, so I'm going to burn him down. I 1230 01:08:48.319 --> 01:08:50.800 hate the fact that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement is finally 1231 01:08:50.840 --> 01:08:53.039 doing their job and getting a hold on our borders, 1232 01:08:53.079 --> 01:08:57.239 because that represents a security interest to our country. We 1233 01:08:57.319 --> 01:08:59.920 have dangerous people coming across the border, maybe members of 1234 01:09:00.119 --> 01:09:04.239 terrorist selves, maybe terrorists themselves, maybe the Chinese communist parties 1235 01:09:04.279 --> 01:09:07.079 sending people over. We've got tens of thousands of Chinese 1236 01:09:07.079 --> 01:09:09.359 military age men that have come across the open borders 1237 01:09:09.439 --> 01:09:13.039 during the Biden administration that might represent a challenge to us, 1238 01:09:15.159 --> 01:09:17.600 and of course organize chaos in the streets. When you 1239 01:09:17.640 --> 01:09:21.279 start taking steps to ensure the safety and economic stability 1240 01:09:21.319 --> 01:09:25.119 of our country, making sure our children can get an education. 1241 01:09:25.199 --> 01:09:26.399 We're not sitting in a room with a bunch of 1242 01:09:26.479 --> 01:09:29.640 kids who don't speak English and need remedial liverate literally 1243 01:09:29.800 --> 01:09:33.359 everything holding our students back, and then moving away from 1244 01:09:33.399 --> 01:09:36.399 that component of illegal immigration. Look at how bad our 1245 01:09:36.399 --> 01:09:44.840 schools are performing anyway. Maybe we need reform. Huh. Maybe 1246 01:09:44.840 --> 01:09:48.279 we need a return to decision making to a local level, 1247 01:09:48.399 --> 01:09:51.439 so different regions can deal with the problems differently, because 1248 01:09:51.479 --> 01:09:54.760 there are of course different problems that each region is 1249 01:09:54.840 --> 01:09:58.039 dealing with that don't necessarily carry over someplace else. The 1250 01:09:58.039 --> 01:10:01.520 one size fits all solution is not something that works. 1251 01:10:03.239 --> 01:10:05.319 So let's get rid of the Department of Education and 1252 01:10:05.359 --> 01:10:07.640 the strings attached to the dollars that impact what we 1253 01:10:07.960 --> 01:10:10.479 teach our children in school and just give block grants. 1254 01:10:10.600 --> 01:10:17.159 The money's not going away, don't believe those lies. The 1255 01:10:17.159 --> 01:10:23.199 bureaucracy and the micromanagement of your local school boards may 1256 01:10:23.199 --> 01:10:26.239 be going away, though, and I think that'll be a healthy, 1257 01:10:26.319 --> 01:10:29.279 refreshing change for the benefit of our young people who 1258 01:10:29.359 --> 01:10:33.520 clearly have a problem at school these days. Sixty eight 1259 01:10:33.560 --> 01:10:37.560 fifty five krc DE talk station. Well, how many realtors 1260 01:10:37.560 --> 01:10:39.399 you know that can guarantee the sale of a of 1261 01:10:39.439 --> 01:10:41.640 your home. Well, I know one the only team I 1262 01:10:41.640 --> 01:10:43.960 would ever consider hiring. That's the Super Group of Keller 1263 01:10:44.000 --> 01:10:47.680 Williams seven Hills Outstanding real Estates. They are real estate agents. 1264 01:10:47.680 --> 01:10:50.199 They are the only agents I'd ever trust. Peter Suber, 1265 01:10:50.199 --> 01:10:52.560 the ser Group of Keller Williams seven Hills.

What you do, you're goring a price 1267 01:10:57.560 --> 01:11:01.479 in a deadline, right out front with Peter and his team. 1268 01:11:01.520 --> 01:11:03.239 If they don't sell your home by that price and 1269 01:11:03.399 --> 01:11:05.960 that time, well Peter will buy it.

Several ways to reach 1277 01:11:22.239 --> 01:11:25.560 them Sabri c Cha, b r I S Schubree Group. 1278 01:11:25.640 --> 01:11:28.000 Use your search engine you'll find them. Go directly to 1279 01:11:28.079 --> 01:11:30.760 the website at seven zero eight three thousand dot com 1280 01:11:30.880 --> 01:11:33.359 or call them directly at five p one three seven 1281 01:11:33.479 --> 01:11:35.239 zero eight three thousand. 1282 01:11:35.079 --> 01:11:37.159 Fifty five KRC dot com. 1283 01:11:37.199 --> 01:11:42.960 When divorce puts your life's work On six fifty three 1284 01:11:43.000 --> 01:11:47.600 at fifty five KRCV talk station. I alluded to that 1285 01:11:47.880 --> 01:11:50.680 new CBS poll that came out which says looks like 1286 01:11:50.760 --> 01:11:52.960 the vast majority of a very large majority of us 1287 01:11:52.960 --> 01:11:55.159 are happy with what at least the Trump administration is 1288 01:11:55.199 --> 01:11:58.800 doing in so far as immigration crackdown. We're on the 1289 01:11:58.840 --> 01:12:02.399 right side of the ledger on that one. Politically, of course, 1290 01:12:02.520 --> 01:12:05.640 ICE doing its job for a change. And here we 1291 01:12:05.720 --> 01:12:08.840 go to the other side. While ICE cracking down on 1292 01:12:08.880 --> 01:12:11.800 illegal immigration. We have a TikTok user posting what is 1293 01:12:11.960 --> 01:12:17.760 I agree with the description a disturbing video calling on 1294 01:12:17.840 --> 01:12:22.680 people to, in his words, shoot at ICE agents, shoot 1295 01:12:22.720 --> 01:12:29.359 them on site. Blaldonk it's this guy that poasted it. 1296 01:12:30.199 --> 01:12:32.520 He actually had the nerve and the stupidity to post 1297 01:12:32.560 --> 01:12:35.880 a video of himself, the guy actually telling people to 1298 01:12:35.960 --> 01:12:40.359 shoot ICE agents. Quote shoot at ICE agents on site. 1299 01:12:40.399 --> 01:12:42.760 That's right. If ICE agents are trying to take you 1300 01:12:43.000 --> 01:12:52.359 or a loved one, shoot them on site. Well, from 1301 01:12:52.399 --> 01:12:59.680 a legal perspective, I think he's got it wrong. Not 1302 01:12:59.680 --> 01:13:02.600 allowed to use deadly force unless you are confronted with 1303 01:13:02.640 --> 01:13:05.560 deadly force. And this is merely law enforcement doing the 1304 01:13:05.680 --> 01:13:07.840 job that they are told to do based upon the 1305 01:13:07.960 --> 01:13:13.760 law and the way it reads. So this guy apparently 1306 01:13:13.800 --> 01:13:18.560 has since taken down the message you can get in 1307 01:13:18.560 --> 01:13:21.720 trouble with authorities. Took down the message on Sunday evening 1308 01:13:21.760 --> 01:13:25.800 after Fox News Digital reached out to him on TikTok. Whoops. Wow, 1309 01:13:26.039 --> 01:13:29.399 it went viral and apparently for all the wrong or 1310 01:13:29.479 --> 01:13:32.439 right reasons, depending on your perspective. That's what's going on 1311 01:13:32.479 --> 01:13:34.720 out in the world. Yes, one guy with an opinion. 1312 01:13:34.760 --> 01:13:37.640 We all know what opinions are, like, everybody's got one sphincter's. 1313 01:13:38.479 --> 01:13:40.840 But in this particular case, I think it's reflective of 1314 01:13:40.960 --> 01:13:46.039 the just outrageous attitude that some people have when without 1315 01:13:46.119 --> 01:13:48.960 borders and without some sort of border stability, without a 1316 01:13:49.119 --> 01:13:53.520 managed immigration system, the whole place just comes falling down 1317 01:13:53.600 --> 01:13:56.279 in on itself. More to talk about off top of 1318 01:13:56.319 --> 01:13:58.159 the ar News plus Christopher Smithmen coming up at seven 1319 01:13:58.199 --> 01:14:00.439 to twenty, and I hope you can stick around.

And it's nice that you know, 1370 01:16:44.399 --> 01:16:47.880 Matt Mappin, who of course perished fighting in service of 1371 01:16:47.920 --> 01:16:51.239 our country, his name is being used for such a 1372 01:16:51.239 --> 01:16:54.560 wonderful cause, so you know, God rest his soul.

Westside Jim Keefer asked 1444 01:20:30.560 --> 01:20:35.840 that I remind everyone that next Tuesday, the eighth, at 1445 01:20:35.840 --> 01:20:39.279 Price Sil Chili, there is an early voting kickoff event, 1446 01:20:39.319 --> 01:20:41.239 And then we mentioned this before in the Morning Show 1447 01:20:41.239 --> 01:20:44.159 and Corey was on so early voting kickoff event Price 1448 01:20:44.239 --> 01:20:47.600 Hill Chili begins at five pm and lasts until seven pm. 1449 01:20:47.720 --> 01:20:49.680 So help get the word out about Corey Bowman. You 1450 01:20:49.720 --> 01:20:51.439 can talk to him, shake his hand, find out what 1451 01:20:51.439 --> 01:20:53.479 he's all about, and see if you have some interest 1452 01:20:53.520 --> 01:20:56.239 in supporting the campaign. But it's fast approaching, and of 1453 01:20:56.239 --> 01:20:59.000 course he's gonna have primary, and then after he wins 1454 01:20:59.039 --> 01:21:01.479 the primary, it's off to the races against have to 1455 01:21:01.479 --> 01:21:03.359 have pro ball. So there is a choice in this 1456 01:21:03.399 --> 01:21:05.800 world and you can exercise that. And while I'm talking 1457 01:21:05.840 --> 01:21:07.960 about events, I may as well mention. Barley Corns is 1458 01:21:07.960 --> 01:21:11.039 where we're going to be on Wednesday for the Listener Lunch, Wilder, Kentucky. 1459 01:21:11.520 --> 01:21:13.840 Barley Corns. There are several Barley Corns, but we're going 1460 01:21:13.880 --> 01:21:15.920 to be in Wilder, Kentucky. It's pretty easy to get 1461 01:21:15.960 --> 01:21:19.600 to off four seventy one the Double A Highways. You know, 1462 01:21:19.760 --> 01:21:22.560 just look it up online. You'll see it's supposed to 1463 01:21:22.600 --> 01:21:25.800 be really good. I've heard nothing but rave reviews continuing 1464 01:21:25.880 --> 01:21:29.760 our micro brewery tour that we've been doing this year 1465 01:21:29.760 --> 01:21:32.359 for listener Lunch. And since I mentioned listener to Lunch, 1466 01:21:32.399 --> 01:21:34.439 I will mention again for folks that have just tuned 1467 01:21:34.479 --> 01:21:40.640 in lost Alena. I just dearly loved Barbara. Barbar Liznouski 1468 01:21:41.560 --> 01:21:43.920 referred to as my blind friend Barbara. She was always 1469 01:21:43.960 --> 01:21:47.119 so inspirational and was always moved by her you know, 1470 01:21:47.199 --> 01:21:49.840 refusal to take her disability and let it hold her back. 1471 01:21:49.920 --> 01:21:52.600 She would get on that bus that would take transport 1472 01:21:52.720 --> 01:21:56.680 anywhere around town that's for disabled folks. There's that service 1473 01:21:56.720 --> 01:21:59.359 out there. She'd come by herself to listener to lunch, 1474 01:21:59.800 --> 01:22:02.199 you know, order and get some help from folks and 1475 01:22:02.239 --> 01:22:04.199 always set up just a smile on her face and 1476 01:22:04.239 --> 01:22:07.720 a really bubbly friendly personality. She sang in her church 1477 01:22:07.800 --> 01:22:11.520 choir for a forever up until she her health deteriorated. 1478 01:22:12.159 --> 01:22:14.720 But I was advised this morning that she had been 1479 01:22:14.720 --> 01:22:17.199 moved from her nursing home over to university a hospital 1480 01:22:17.199 --> 01:22:22.119 because of a bow obstruction, and apparently that took her life. 1481 01:22:22.399 --> 01:22:27.479 So rest in peace, Barb. You were an inspiration again. 1482 01:22:28.119 --> 01:22:30.279 It was nice being in a position to know you. 1483 01:22:30.439 --> 01:22:33.119 And we have lost, you know, several listeners over the 1484 01:22:33.199 --> 01:22:35.600 years that come to listening to Lunch, like Bob from Oakley, 1485 01:22:35.640 --> 01:22:37.880 and I just have such fond memories of being in 1486 01:22:37.920 --> 01:22:39.640 a position to be able to meet those folks and 1487 01:22:40.199 --> 01:22:42.399 as I always feel about meeting the listeners at listener 1488 01:22:42.439 --> 01:22:45.079 and lunch. It's a real shot in the arm sometimes 1489 01:22:45.079 --> 01:22:46.920 when you're feeling down and blue to know that I 1490 01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:51.079 have such a fabulous, fabulous listening audience. Your people who care, 1491 01:22:51.920 --> 01:22:54.600 your people who stay on top of important matters. You 1492 01:22:54.640 --> 01:22:58.399 think logically, you think reasonably, and it's a blessing to 1493 01:22:58.439 --> 01:23:00.680 have you out there listening to the program. I feel 1494 01:23:00.720 --> 01:23:03.439 that I'm not worthy another man, I feel I'm not 1495 01:23:03.479 --> 01:23:05.720 worthy to talk to Christopher Smithman, who's going to join 1496 01:23:05.720 --> 01:23:09.399 the program next to give us a smither vent love 1497 01:23:09.479 --> 01:23:11.399 talking to Christopher.

Welcome back, Christopher Hope you 1528 01:24:41.880 --> 01:24:42.800 had a wonderful weekend. 1529 01:24:44.039 --> 01:24:47.560 I did. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. And I, 1530 01:24:47.600 --> 01:24:51.920 you know, want to also extend my my prayer to 1531 01:24:52.039 --> 01:24:54.600 anybody who was impacted by the storms last night and 1532 01:24:55.600 --> 01:24:58.680 continue to encourage people to drive bapuly out there today. 1533 01:24:58.840 --> 01:25:01.159 Man, it sounded like we were in a war last night, 1534 01:25:01.279 --> 01:25:05.960 just the constant bomabone of owe thunders like geese just 1535 01:25:05.960 --> 01:25:07.439 couldn't get over that thunder. 1536 01:25:08.720 --> 01:25:09.479 It was. 1537 01:25:09.520 --> 01:25:12.319 It was startling my mom. She couldn't stop calling me 1538 01:25:15.560 --> 01:25:19.479 making sure that we were okay. What I want to 1539 01:25:19.479 --> 01:25:23.680 share with you today, and it's a complicated subject matter 1540 01:25:23.760 --> 01:25:28.520 because race is always complicated. But you know, I was 1541 01:25:28.760 --> 01:25:34.960 very disappointed in Representative Crockett for a lot of things 1542 01:25:35.000 --> 01:25:37.399 that she had said. This is a representative out of 1543 01:25:37.439 --> 01:25:41.039 Texas who's been making national news because of things that 1544 01:25:41.119 --> 01:25:44.920 she's been saying. And some of those things she's been saying, 1545 01:25:44.960 --> 01:25:49.279 she's been she insulted the governor of Texas about him 1546 01:25:49.319 --> 01:25:54.600 being in a wheelchair. She's been cussing in her official 1547 01:25:54.640 --> 01:26:00.279 capacity as a member of Congress in chambers that I 1548 01:26:00.319 --> 01:26:05.079 do too. She's been cutting outside of those chambers, meaning 1549 01:26:05.159 --> 01:26:09.640 just during interviews she's been using profanity. She's been dancing 1550 01:26:09.680 --> 01:26:13.000 in the hallway on Instagram, I believe one of the 1551 01:26:13.039 --> 01:26:16.000 platforms with her tongue hanging out and even kind of 1552 01:26:16.000 --> 01:26:19.720 holding her crops as she's doing this dance in the hallway, 1553 01:26:19.720 --> 01:26:22.960 which I thought was ridiculous for a member of Congress. 1554 01:26:23.319 --> 01:26:26.479 But what she did this weekend when she went after 1555 01:26:27.520 --> 01:26:32.800 a congressman Byron Donald's by literally saying that he wasn't 1556 01:26:32.880 --> 01:26:36.520 black because he was married to a white woman, really 1557 01:26:37.439 --> 01:26:40.199 hit another loaf for her. And so I'm going to 1558 01:26:40.239 --> 01:26:44.239 spend a little time talking about Representative Crockett, who spent 1559 01:26:44.359 --> 01:26:48.199 the majority of her life living a privilege life. This 1560 01:26:48.279 --> 01:26:51.239 is a woman who comes from a two family home, 1561 01:26:51.279 --> 01:26:55.199 which is wonderful, a pastor first lady, who sent her 1562 01:26:55.239 --> 01:27:00.840 to private schools her entire life, her college education two 1563 01:27:00.880 --> 01:27:05.520 thousand students, seventy one thousand a year. She went to 1564 01:27:05.640 --> 01:27:10.039 Catholic schools her whole life. And so this notion that 1565 01:27:10.199 --> 01:27:15.159 this highly educated African American woman who seems to be 1566 01:27:15.199 --> 01:27:20.479 playing to the lowest common denominator when we need African 1567 01:27:20.520 --> 01:27:25.359 American women and men the talented ten, he's going to 1568 01:27:25.439 --> 01:27:29.279 the lowest common denominator. But to attack this man's family, 1569 01:27:29.800 --> 01:27:32.760 to say that because he's married to a white woman 1570 01:27:33.399 --> 01:27:39.520 it now doesn't make him black, makes her absolutely insane 1571 01:27:39.640 --> 01:27:43.680 and somebody who should not be serving as a member 1572 01:27:43.760 --> 01:27:47.319 of Congress. This is not about Democrat or Republicans. There 1573 01:27:47.359 --> 01:27:52.239 are children out there who are from interracial relationships. There 1574 01:27:52.279 --> 01:27:54.920 are people who are listening to this show who are 1575 01:27:55.000 --> 01:27:59.399 in interracial relationships. We've got the Vice President who's married 1576 01:27:59.399 --> 01:28:02.119 to an age an Indian woman, who, by the way, 1577 01:28:02.600 --> 01:28:08.279 came really from povertive poverty. Unlike Representative Crocket, who's thinking 1578 01:28:08.439 --> 01:28:12.039 something that she's not. She's a phony, she's a fake, 1579 01:28:12.279 --> 01:28:14.920 and you got you got her going after an African 1580 01:28:14.920 --> 01:28:16.800 American man because. 1581 01:28:16.399 --> 01:28:19.920 Of who he chooses to love and looks. 1582 01:28:19.680 --> 01:28:23.680 Like as a beautiful family, a beautiful white and I 1583 01:28:23.840 --> 01:28:26.680 want to salute them. I want to lift them up, 1584 01:28:26.760 --> 01:28:29.479 and I want to lift up every interracial couple, no 1585 01:28:29.560 --> 01:28:32.960 matter what the combination is, that they have the rights, 1586 01:28:33.079 --> 01:28:37.479 that those relationships are beautiful, and that Representative Crocket should 1587 01:28:37.520 --> 01:28:39.640 absolutely be censured. 1588 01:28:39.319 --> 01:28:40.039 For her comments. 1589 01:28:40.600 --> 01:28:42.800 Yeah, I can't argue with that, Christopher. You know, as 1590 01:28:42.840 --> 01:28:46.680 I was contemplating what she said, if that were I mean, 1591 01:28:46.720 --> 01:28:50.520 it's it's ludicrous, it's stupid. It obviously illustrates that she's 1592 01:28:50.840 --> 01:28:54.199 just insane. But if that is true, that if a 1593 01:28:54.439 --> 01:28:59.199 black man who marries a white woman is not black, 1594 01:28:59.720 --> 01:29:04.439 then Barack Obama was not black. He was the product 1595 01:29:04.479 --> 01:29:09.479 of two white people then, and that isn't that what 1596 01:29:09.520 --> 01:29:10.039 that means? 1597 01:29:11.399 --> 01:29:12.760 It means all of the above. 1598 01:29:14.479 --> 01:29:17.560 It means all of the above. I mean the notion 1599 01:29:18.039 --> 01:29:21.640 for her to assert what's black and what's not black, 1600 01:29:22.119 --> 01:29:27.159 having spent her the majority of her time in what 1601 01:29:27.199 --> 01:29:31.800 would be considered white institutions. She didn't go to Spelman, 1602 01:29:32.439 --> 01:29:35.479 she didn't go to Howard, she didn't go to Tuskegee 1603 01:29:35.520 --> 01:29:38.680 Institute like my mom and dad went. She went to 1604 01:29:38.760 --> 01:29:43.279 an affluent private school two thousand kids, where the tuition 1605 01:29:43.399 --> 01:29:46.159 had seventy one thousand dollars a year. Wool. And I'm 1606 01:29:46.239 --> 01:29:49.439 just saying, I am tired of these state and phony 1607 01:29:49.520 --> 01:29:53.439 people who try to assert what their blackness is and 1608 01:29:53.479 --> 01:29:58.199 how that's defined for the rest of America. This African 1609 01:29:58.239 --> 01:30:02.039 American man who is running for governor for Florida has 1610 01:30:02.079 --> 01:30:05.800 the right to love Mary whoever he wants to, and 1611 01:30:05.920 --> 01:30:08.840 I think that she should be censure for her comments 1612 01:30:08.880 --> 01:30:10.119 because they're so repulsive. 1613 01:30:10.479 --> 01:30:13.319 Well, you know that reminds me of Joe Biden's statement, 1614 01:30:13.359 --> 01:30:15.880 if you don't vote Democrat, you're not black. I mean, 1615 01:30:16.479 --> 01:30:20.000 there's another ridiculous thing. This is your politics to find 1616 01:30:20.039 --> 01:30:20.800 our skin color. 1617 01:30:22.039 --> 01:30:24.720 It's all of the above are true, but it just 1618 01:30:24.840 --> 01:30:28.079 tells you the cesspool of race that she could get 1619 01:30:28.119 --> 01:30:33.079 on an African American a radio show and make these 1620 01:30:33.199 --> 01:30:37.199 kinds of comments and not be challenged. Yeah, thinking about 1621 01:30:37.279 --> 01:30:40.960 all of the athletes out here right who are married 1622 01:30:41.079 --> 01:30:45.439 to white women. I just thought Tiger Woods, who just announced, 1623 01:30:45.479 --> 01:30:48.399 i think an engagement to a white woman, What in 1624 01:30:48.520 --> 01:30:52.239 her mind makes her believe that because somebody's in an 1625 01:30:52.279 --> 01:30:55.960 interracial relationship, they have now surrendered who they are. 1626 01:30:56.680 --> 01:31:00.560 And so this is this this low mental of. 1627 01:31:00.640 --> 01:31:04.119 This Representative Crocket who's been saying things about whether it's 1628 01:31:04.239 --> 01:31:08.439 whether it's Senator Cruz, whether it's the governor of Texas now, 1629 01:31:08.600 --> 01:31:12.119 whether it is her colleague, a congressional member of Congress 1630 01:31:12.239 --> 01:31:16.359 Byron Donalds who's running for the Florida governorship. I'm just 1631 01:31:16.439 --> 01:31:19.600 saying to you, Representative Crocket, if this is what the 1632 01:31:19.680 --> 01:31:24.720 Democratic Party has to offer America, stame on them. Stame 1633 01:31:24.840 --> 01:31:25.279 on them. 1634 01:31:26.119 --> 01:31:28.920 We'll continue with Christopher Smithen on a tear this morning. 1635 01:31:28.960 --> 01:31:32.159 He is as we always enjoy.

Christopher? 1690 01:34:06.199 --> 01:34:06.760 What is it? 1691 01:34:08.000 --> 01:34:08.159 Well? 1692 01:34:08.199 --> 01:34:10.600 I have to tell you that, first I thought the 1693 01:34:10.760 --> 01:34:15.279 return of the astronauts from space that were stranded there 1694 01:34:15.359 --> 01:34:20.520 for nine months was a remarkable scientific feat. And again 1695 01:34:20.600 --> 01:34:24.640 I give my kudos to Elon Musk and his team. 1696 01:34:25.760 --> 01:34:29.000 The President of the United States NASA, all the scientists. 1697 01:34:29.840 --> 01:34:33.000 I raised this because they have given their first interview 1698 01:34:33.760 --> 01:34:38.000 on Fox News with Bill Hemmer and I know, you know, 1699 01:34:38.199 --> 01:34:42.279 he's a Cincinnati guy. Oh Elder is an anchor there. 1700 01:34:42.439 --> 01:34:44.319 He got that first interview. 1701 01:34:44.880 --> 01:34:48.239 With Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams, who are the two 1702 01:34:48.319 --> 01:34:52.960 astronauts that or were returned to space after being left there. 1703 01:34:53.279 --> 01:34:54.279 For nine months. 1704 01:34:54.680 --> 01:34:56.920 And it's just one of those interviews that I think 1705 01:34:57.439 --> 01:35:00.560 all of us should watch because these are scientists that 1706 01:35:00.640 --> 01:35:02.640 are just out trying to do their job. They're just 1707 01:35:02.840 --> 01:35:06.960 they're just you know, giving their best to America. But 1708 01:35:07.079 --> 01:35:09.479 at the end of the day, I'm sure there are 1709 01:35:09.600 --> 01:35:14.279 feelings that they were left that that people a trip 1710 01:35:14.359 --> 01:35:16.960 that was supposed to be eight or nine days ended 1711 01:35:17.039 --> 01:35:20.399 up being nine months. And the politics surrounding it is 1712 01:35:20.520 --> 01:35:25.319 clear that they understand that's the that's the past administration 1713 01:35:25.680 --> 01:35:29.079 left in there, and the current administration put a plan 1714 01:35:29.199 --> 01:35:30.159 together to get them. 1715 01:35:31.239 --> 01:35:34.000 Yeah, And you know, every time I think about that, Christopher, 1716 01:35:34.039 --> 01:35:37.760 because I'm not claustrophobic, but if you put me in 1717 01:35:37.840 --> 01:35:40.119 that position and you tell me that there's no way 1718 01:35:40.199 --> 01:35:42.760 you can get back to Earth and I'm in this little, 1719 01:35:43.119 --> 01:35:47.119 tiny space station. I'm going to become claustrophobic pretty damn quickly. 1720 01:35:47.199 --> 01:35:50.880 There isn't enough valume or xanax or UH anti anxiety 1721 01:35:50.960 --> 01:35:53.479 medications on the planet that can call me down out 1722 01:35:53.520 --> 01:35:55.760 of that. So, you know, God bless them, and the 1723 01:35:55.840 --> 01:35:57.800 idea that they were able to keep their their cool 1724 01:35:57.920 --> 01:36:01.840 and maintain themselves and and uh and continue to get 1725 01:36:01.880 --> 01:36:03.520 the job done while they're up there, in and of 1726 01:36:03.560 --> 01:36:06.720 itself is an amazing thing because I'm I don't think 1727 01:36:06.760 --> 01:36:08.760 I'm alone in the world that says I probably would 1728 01:36:08.800 --> 01:36:10.840 have broken down psychologically over that. 1729 01:36:12.159 --> 01:36:14.800 No, I totally agree with you. I don't think I 1730 01:36:14.840 --> 01:36:19.520 could have been in those close corners, close quarters for 1731 01:36:20.079 --> 01:36:23.800 nine months and still the you know what I'm hearing 1732 01:36:24.159 --> 01:36:27.560 is the lack of communication with them on how they 1733 01:36:27.600 --> 01:36:30.760 were actually going to get back didn't become clear to 1734 01:36:30.880 --> 01:36:34.399 them until after the election, And that is scary stuff 1735 01:36:34.840 --> 01:36:38.960 that all of us, meaning talking about the previous administration 1736 01:36:39.840 --> 01:36:43.279 wasn't really focused on getting them back to Earth. It's 1737 01:36:43.439 --> 01:36:45.960 just it's just an amazing story. I'm sure they're going 1738 01:36:46.000 --> 01:36:47.880 to write a book about it, but you you know, 1739 01:36:48.359 --> 01:36:52.039 scientists tend to be very guarded about what they're saying, 1740 01:36:52.079 --> 01:36:56.720 and I believe that what they're trying to communicate is 1741 01:36:56.760 --> 01:37:01.520 a broader message of thankfulness to the administration, but also 1742 01:37:01.600 --> 01:37:05.640 a commitment to space travel and Elon Musk. And this 1743 01:37:06.479 --> 01:37:08.840 kind of pushes me into what I saw this weekend, 1744 01:37:09.479 --> 01:37:15.159 Ryan Thomas, with all of these protests at Tesla's locations. 1745 01:37:15.239 --> 01:37:21.439 People were having cars being keyed, damaged, fires, whatever was 1746 01:37:21.479 --> 01:37:24.119 going on. And I'm talking about across the United States 1747 01:37:24.119 --> 01:37:27.399 of America. Obviously there were peaceful protests that we saw 1748 01:37:27.800 --> 01:37:30.520 in front of a lot of dealerships. But this notion 1749 01:37:30.760 --> 01:37:35.760 that you're mad at Elon Musk and this Doge organization 1750 01:37:36.000 --> 01:37:42.039 because they are correctly identifying waste and fraud, it just 1751 01:37:42.199 --> 01:37:45.159 blows me away. Why are they protesting? 1752 01:37:45.279 --> 01:37:45.720 Number one? 1753 01:37:45.760 --> 01:37:47.279 And I heard your show this morning. 1754 01:37:48.000 --> 01:37:53.239 And then the notion that no Democratic Congressional member has 1755 01:37:53.439 --> 01:37:56.920 literally come out and said they are against the violence 1756 01:37:57.039 --> 01:38:02.359 that they are seeing against Tesla owners and against dealerships, 1757 01:38:02.439 --> 01:38:06.279 people who own property. It is numbing to me how 1758 01:38:06.439 --> 01:38:09.479 quiet they have been, Brian Thomas of not just simply 1759 01:38:09.560 --> 01:38:13.239 saying what is happening is wrong, and it's because they 1760 01:38:13.479 --> 01:38:18.239 want it to happen, or their organizations are privately funding 1761 01:38:18.680 --> 01:38:21.159 what we're seeing across the United States of America. 1762 01:38:21.560 --> 01:38:24.079 Yeah, and you know that that is going on. A 1763 01:38:24.119 --> 01:38:26.359 lot of the organization has been identified and people have 1764 01:38:26.560 --> 01:38:28.920 put together a money trail to show where some of 1765 01:38:28.920 --> 01:38:31.560 the money's coming from that's funding these. There are some 1766 01:38:31.760 --> 01:38:33.760 suggestions that many of the people that showed up with 1767 01:38:33.840 --> 01:38:37.640 these were paid protesters. But to me, the issue boils 1768 01:38:37.720 --> 01:38:41.199 down to what is your problem with Elon Musk? I 1769 01:38:41.279 --> 01:38:43.479 mean you scream at him and say he's a Nazi, 1770 01:38:43.600 --> 01:38:47.920 which makes absolutely no sense. Definitionally speaking, It's like I 1771 01:38:48.000 --> 01:38:50.159 wish they all got a copy of Mirriam Webster's out 1772 01:38:50.159 --> 01:38:53.520 of Read The Definition of Fascism, because Elon Musk is 1773 01:38:53.840 --> 01:38:56.560 cutting and hopes to cut more of the size and 1774 01:38:56.600 --> 01:38:59.640 scopal government. The Trump administration is endeavoring to get rid 1775 01:38:59.760 --> 01:39:05.000 of regulations. Regulations are a mechanism fascists you to control 1776 01:39:05.079 --> 01:39:08.039 the means of production. That's exactly what fascists do. Government 1777 01:39:08.159 --> 01:39:10.920 tells you how you can run your business or can't 1778 01:39:11.000 --> 01:39:13.359 run your business in a free market, You run your 1779 01:39:13.399 --> 01:39:16.279 own business any damn way you feel like it. Well, 1780 01:39:17.000 --> 01:39:20.159 Elon Musk is much closer to a free market fundamentalist 1781 01:39:20.199 --> 01:39:22.960 than he is a fascist? Just to scream out fascist 1782 01:39:23.000 --> 01:39:27.439 and Nazis just doesn't make any sense. And when these 1783 01:39:27.479 --> 01:39:29.680 people have been interviewed, you look at the interviews, the 1784 01:39:29.760 --> 01:39:32.600 YouTube videos and the posts, and someone you know, kindly 1785 01:39:32.720 --> 01:39:36.720 and and and and and in a gentle manner, approaches 1786 01:39:36.800 --> 01:39:40.079 one of these protesters and gently and kindly merely ask 1787 01:39:40.199 --> 01:39:42.920 them what their problem is. They can't even answer it. 1788 01:39:43.279 --> 01:39:48.079 They don't know it is fascist, Like, okay, upon what 1789 01:39:48.359 --> 01:39:52.359 information are you drawing your conclusion that this guy's somehow 1790 01:39:52.479 --> 01:39:55.960 a fascist? And they can't answer it. They just scream 1791 01:39:56.000 --> 01:39:56.439 and yell. 1792 01:39:56.439 --> 01:40:03.880 It's identity politics, bran and comments on steroids where they 1793 01:40:04.000 --> 01:40:07.640 have no public policy, so they're just left to personal 1794 01:40:07.720 --> 01:40:11.800 attack because they're not dealing with this substance. And they 1795 01:40:11.920 --> 01:40:15.760 think that Americans are dumb and that we don't understand 1796 01:40:16.319 --> 01:40:19.560 that what is happening has never happened like this before. 1797 01:40:19.920 --> 01:40:23.199 This is historic where you have a group of people 1798 01:40:23.560 --> 01:40:27.600 who are actually going line by line and identifying fraud. 1799 01:40:28.039 --> 01:40:29.479 Why is there somebody one. 1800 01:40:29.479 --> 01:40:32.840 Hundred and fifty years old getting a Social Security check? 1801 01:40:33.319 --> 01:40:36.880 Why is there a nine month old baby getting an 1802 01:40:37.039 --> 01:40:37.800 SBA loan? 1803 01:40:38.199 --> 01:40:41.800 Yeah, ALLVPPO, what the reality of it? 1804 01:40:41.920 --> 01:40:45.239 Is is that there are major problems. Why are there 1805 01:40:45.399 --> 01:40:50.319 systems I'm talking about computer systems or software that systems 1806 01:40:50.520 --> 01:40:53.560 that are not communicating with each other, you know. So 1807 01:40:53.680 --> 01:40:58.279 this notion that we can we can't really improve the government, 1808 01:40:58.359 --> 01:41:00.800 which is what Elon Musk in their team are doing, 1809 01:41:02.000 --> 01:41:05.720 is absurd. And you would think that the Democrats and 1810 01:41:05.920 --> 01:41:09.399 the Republicans and the few Independents that are there would. 1811 01:41:09.159 --> 01:41:09.960 All agree on this. 1812 01:41:10.560 --> 01:41:12.640 And so this notion of all this fake. 1813 01:41:12.560 --> 01:41:16.720 Outrage and burning of cars and burning of dealerships and 1814 01:41:17.239 --> 01:41:20.840 engaging in violence, and we live in a democracy with 1815 01:41:21.079 --> 01:41:27.119 no Democratic congressional member to my knowledge being outspoken about 1816 01:41:27.199 --> 01:41:32.279 that violence is absolutely outrageous from my perspective, and they 1817 01:41:32.399 --> 01:41:36.159 will they don't have anything to stand on right when 1818 01:41:36.279 --> 01:41:39.359 violence breaks out in other areas because they were so 1819 01:41:39.600 --> 01:41:40.760 quiet right now. 1820 01:41:40.840 --> 01:41:43.439 Brian Thommins, let's pause, will bring Christopher back for a 1821 01:41:43.479 --> 01:41:46.920 couple more comments on this money or this Monday with 1822 01:41:47.039 --> 01:41:49.399 this plean event. Pause for a moment first, though, and 1823 01:41:49.760 --> 01:41:52.000 recommend you get over to foreign exchange, gets your traditionally 1824 01:41:52.079 --> 01:41:55.319 imported car from Asia or Europe or even manufactured here 1825 01:41:55.319 --> 01:41:57.039 in the United States. And then they have Toyota plans, 1826 01:41:57.039 --> 01:41:59.760 for example, get it fixed at foreign Exchange. When it's 1827 01:41:59.760 --> 01:42:01.600 out warranty, you go to the dealer. It's going to 1828 01:42:01.640 --> 01:42:03.600 be a lot of money and more and more and 1829 01:42:03.760 --> 01:42:05.399 more and more every single day. 1830 01:42:06.000 --> 01:42:06.119 Uh. 1831 01:42:06.279 --> 01:42:07.640 And I don't know what tariffs are going to do. 1832 01:42:07.640 --> 01:42:10.720 It probably increase the price. But one thing you can 1833 01:42:10.840 --> 01:42:12.720 count on is when you take your car to foreign Exchange, 1834 01:42:12.720 --> 01:42:14.720 you will pay less than the dealer and your car 1835 01:42:14.800 --> 01:42:18.279 will be fixed to your satisfaction. First off, customer services outstanding. 1836 01:42:18.359 --> 01:42:21.279 They have se certified master technicians with access to your 1837 01:42:21.359 --> 01:42:24.920 manufacturers all the technical information and data. You get a 1838 01:42:24.960 --> 01:42:27.920 full warranty on parts and service, and you pay less. 1839 01:42:28.359 --> 01:42:30.680 Westchester location is the one I'm recommended because that's where 1840 01:42:30.680 --> 01:42:33.680 we always go. Austin and is outstanding. Folks there that'd 1841 01:42:33.720 --> 01:42:35.439 be the tylers and the legs of Office seventy five. 1842 01:42:35.640 --> 01:42:38.159 Just go east two streets, hanging right on Kingland Drive 1843 01:42:38.199 --> 01:42:40.119 and there it is before your very eyes when you 1844 01:42:40.159 --> 01:42:41.840 stop in, tollm Brian said, high, or when you call 1845 01:42:41.880 --> 01:42:44.439 for an appointment, tollm brian said high.

Victor Antonio Martinez, horrendous out 1859 01:43:29.439 --> 01:43:32.000 of Al Salvador, who crossed into the United States of 1860 01:43:32.079 --> 01:43:38.479 America illegally February of twenty twenty three. And I pray 1861 01:43:38.600 --> 01:43:42.680 that this family gets justice, that they get closure, and 1862 01:43:43.159 --> 01:43:48.560 I hope this trial also underscores why having a border 1863 01:43:49.600 --> 01:43:54.640 that is not an open border and border policies and 1864 01:43:54.840 --> 01:43:59.479 immigration policies that make sense are so important. Here's a 1865 01:43:59.560 --> 01:44:04.720 person from another country who killed an American citizen, a mother, 1866 01:44:05.199 --> 01:44:08.159 a wife, a mother of five children, and I just 1867 01:44:08.239 --> 01:44:11.199 think it's absolutely insane, and I just want to lift 1868 01:44:11.239 --> 01:44:13.600 her up, even though I don't know this family obviously, 1869 01:44:14.840 --> 01:44:17.560 you know, I just I've been following the story, and 1870 01:44:17.680 --> 01:44:20.560 I think her murder as she's out, this guy comes 1871 01:44:20.600 --> 01:44:23.760 out of a drain and kills her on a walk 1872 01:44:23.920 --> 01:44:28.119 or a run is just absolutely crazy. Brian Thomas, and 1873 01:44:28.239 --> 01:44:31.520 I just can't get my head wrapped around anybody who 1874 01:44:31.680 --> 01:44:35.079 believes that having open borders where people can just come 1875 01:44:35.159 --> 01:44:38.560 into our country, or district judges that can say turn 1876 01:44:38.680 --> 01:44:42.680 planes around with gang members on it, we have got 1877 01:44:42.840 --> 01:44:45.439 to make sure that all of our communities are safe. 1878 01:44:45.880 --> 01:44:49.119 And Americans who are out here every day going to 1879 01:44:49.199 --> 01:44:52.800 work like this morning, headed to their first meetings, getting 1880 01:44:52.840 --> 01:44:56.000 their cups of coffee, they deserve to be safe. Man. 1881 01:44:56.319 --> 01:44:58.000 And so this notion that. 1882 01:44:58.800 --> 01:45:02.159 These district judge just federal judges that are being shopped 1883 01:45:02.399 --> 01:45:05.079 and I'm not an attorney, you are, but they're shopping 1884 01:45:05.199 --> 01:45:09.680 these these judges so that they're putting these different rulings 1885 01:45:09.760 --> 01:45:13.960 in our injunctions on uh, the executive branch of government, 1886 01:45:14.359 --> 01:45:17.960 while we have trials like this that are happening where families, 1887 01:45:18.039 --> 01:45:22.039 American families are seeking justice. The hypocrisy of that is 1888 01:45:22.319 --> 01:45:23.960 just blowing my mind this morning. 1889 01:45:24.880 --> 01:45:27.199 Yeah, I understand that all day long. Hell, I read 1890 01:45:27.239 --> 01:45:29.840 an article earlier about this TikTok video. There's a guy 1891 01:45:29.880 --> 01:45:34.279 that actually his own He's on this video telling people 1892 01:45:34.439 --> 01:45:42.479 to shoot ICE agents on site. Oh, just one guy. 1893 01:45:42.600 --> 01:45:44.800 We all know what opinions are like, and everybody's got one. 1894 01:45:44.880 --> 01:45:48.439 But I mean to just advocate me just because they're 1895 01:45:48.479 --> 01:45:52.520 an ICE agent, to shoot them, to murder them if 1896 01:45:52.560 --> 01:45:54.920 you see them, shoot them. It's basically the boiled down, 1897 01:45:55.039 --> 01:45:57.199 you know, a version of his message. And I just 1898 01:45:57.359 --> 01:45:59.920 was appalled that someone would actually advocate for something like that, 1899 01:46:00.680 --> 01:46:03.239 and I hope no one takes his advice. But you 1900 01:46:03.319 --> 01:46:07.159 know where the Internet allows people to interject all kinds 1901 01:46:07.159 --> 01:46:09.680 of awful, awful concepts in the world, and we need 1902 01:46:09.720 --> 01:46:12.960 to think rationally and reasonably about them and reject them 1903 01:46:13.199 --> 01:46:16.600 out loud, and more politicians should come out and reject 1904 01:46:16.640 --> 01:46:19.079 those things out loud and speak against them. Going back 1905 01:46:19.119 --> 01:46:22.319 to your points earlier, I mean, this is not political. 1906 01:46:22.399 --> 01:46:25.680 This isn't a Republican Democrat thing. I mean, just because 1907 01:46:26.159 --> 01:46:29.000 you can disagree on immigration policy, but the idea that 1908 01:46:29.039 --> 01:46:31.760 you would murder an ICE agent who is merely doing 1909 01:46:31.920 --> 01:46:35.000 the job of upholding the law is preposterous. 1910 01:46:36.279 --> 01:46:40.840 Well, we know that your sister served Cincinnati well as 1911 01:46:40.920 --> 01:46:46.960 a find police officer. They're police officers, state highway patrol 1912 01:46:47.079 --> 01:46:52.239 men's share of ICE agents, FBI agents, DEA agents, atf 1913 01:46:52.359 --> 01:46:55.279 agents all over this country that get up every day 1914 01:46:55.880 --> 01:46:58.800 and go to work to keep us safe. And so 1915 01:46:58.960 --> 01:47:01.680 the notion that someone one would be anywhere saying kill 1916 01:47:01.760 --> 01:47:06.479 one of them is absolutely crazy. And and what's unbelievable 1917 01:47:06.600 --> 01:47:08.720 is that they're not in custody. I mean, I think 1918 01:47:08.760 --> 01:47:13.520 that person should be arrested, absolutely, and and and knowing 1919 01:47:13.600 --> 01:47:16.520 that when you put something out there like that, there's 1920 01:47:16.600 --> 01:47:19.279 somebody crazy enough to listen or see it and go 1921 01:47:19.479 --> 01:47:22.680 do it. That's what that's what's so real and powerful 1922 01:47:22.960 --> 01:47:26.119 about social media. You can't control it once you put 1923 01:47:26.159 --> 01:47:27.359 out once you put it out. 1924 01:47:27.239 --> 01:47:30.119 There, No you can't. You can't unring a bell. Once 1925 01:47:30.159 --> 01:47:30.880 it's out, it's out. 1926 01:47:32.319 --> 01:47:35.000 We have My last point in two seconds is we 1927 01:47:35.119 --> 01:47:38.720 got these big races down in Florida. This gentleman who's 1928 01:47:38.760 --> 01:47:41.560 running for Congress by the last name of Fine. This 1929 01:47:41.760 --> 01:47:44.279 is going to be a big test, a big thermometer 1930 01:47:44.439 --> 01:47:49.000 test for Republicans. Can they hold a seat as we 1931 01:47:49.159 --> 01:47:53.239 march into midterm elections, This open seat, that election is tomorrow, 1932 01:47:53.560 --> 01:47:56.159 So I'll be watching those results, and I tell you 1933 01:47:56.560 --> 01:47:59.840 if Republicans in that area. Now, now, this is again, 1934 01:48:00.079 --> 01:48:03.399 this is like me watching a sports match, right, watching 1935 01:48:03.479 --> 01:48:06.760 the final four. Meaning I'm just saying, you've got Republicans 1936 01:48:06.800 --> 01:48:09.119 and Democrats that are fighting it out down in Florida. 1937 01:48:09.479 --> 01:48:12.920 If they lose this battle, right, it's not a good 1938 01:48:13.079 --> 01:48:16.479 sign as they march into the mid elections, mid term 1939 01:48:16.520 --> 01:48:20.199 elections next year. Particularly, we're talking about the state of Florida, 1940 01:48:20.279 --> 01:48:23.640 which is typically a red state. So I'll be watching 1941 01:48:23.720 --> 01:48:26.199 that race very closely, trying to see And I think 1942 01:48:26.239 --> 01:48:29.399 this is why Democrats are ginning up all this fake anger, 1943 01:48:29.880 --> 01:48:32.600 having people go out in March and find a foil, 1944 01:48:32.760 --> 01:48:34.600 meaning their foil is Elon Musk. 1945 01:48:34.920 --> 01:48:37.119 He's bad, he's the fastest, he's a Nazie. 1946 01:48:37.399 --> 01:48:40.760 They're trying to create all this emotion not around public policy, 1947 01:48:41.039 --> 01:48:45.199 but around yeah, and the Democratic Party is pushing nothing 1948 01:48:45.279 --> 01:48:48.880 but hate. They're not pushing public policy. And it's very, 1949 01:48:49.159 --> 01:48:52.479 very dangerous because somebody could lose their life out here. 1950 01:48:52.880 --> 01:48:53.079 Yeah. 1951 01:48:53.640 --> 01:48:55.600 Well, and that's what it really boils down to. Apparently 1952 01:48:55.640 --> 01:48:58.199 they have nothing to run on that the American people 1953 01:48:58.279 --> 01:49:02.399 are interested in, So it's all hate and screaming and 1954 01:49:03.199 --> 01:49:06.880 name calling, which is an advocacy for a point, What 1955 01:49:07.079 --> 01:49:08.800 positions are they advocating for? 1956 01:49:09.039 --> 01:49:09.079 What? 1957 01:49:09.239 --> 01:49:13.720 I mean, where's the draw that would take someone away 1958 01:49:13.800 --> 01:49:16.880 from considering the policies of Donald Trump and wanting to 1959 01:49:16.960 --> 01:49:19.760 convert over to Democrats. I mean, I'd like to see 1960 01:49:19.800 --> 01:49:22.520 their agenda. Can't find it anywhere, at least nothing that 1961 01:49:22.560 --> 01:49:24.800 appeals to me or makes any sense to me. 1962 01:49:25.439 --> 01:49:29.399 No, not my problem, I guess right now, Christopher, violence 1963 01:49:29.520 --> 01:49:30.319 is always wrong. 1964 01:49:30.479 --> 01:49:33.520 We can always condemn it, and I think your entire 1965 01:49:33.680 --> 01:49:37.800 listening audis no matter what their gender is or their race, right, 1966 01:49:37.920 --> 01:49:40.600 we all can agree that violence is wrong. 1967 01:49:41.279 --> 01:49:43.039 That's why it's so interesting that. 1968 01:49:43.119 --> 01:49:47.920 We don't have any Democratic congressional members condemning it. And 1969 01:49:48.039 --> 01:49:51.039 as they go into these elections, it's like they're wanting to. 1970 01:49:51.159 --> 01:49:51.920 Gen this up. 1971 01:49:52.319 --> 01:49:54.399 The reality is somebody could get. 1972 01:49:54.319 --> 01:49:58.439 Hurt, like the CEO of one of the major healthcare systems. 1973 01:49:58.800 --> 01:50:02.359 People out here have broken minds, They can take accents, 1974 01:50:02.520 --> 01:50:04.880 and people can lose their lives. So I hope that 1975 01:50:04.960 --> 01:50:07.640 we get better leaders. I hope that the leaders starts 1976 01:50:08.199 --> 01:50:11.479 sneaking up about this stuff because it's very serious and 1977 01:50:11.600 --> 01:50:15.239 what you described on TikTok is absolutely outrageous about the 1978 01:50:15.359 --> 01:50:16.000 ice agent. 1979 01:50:16.359 --> 01:50:18.720 It certainly is.

Brian James, welcome back to the program, my friend, 2016 01:51:52.479 --> 01:51:55.560 good to talk to you. Good morning, good morning, glad 2017 01:51:55.600 --> 01:51:57.760 to be here. Thanks once again for the opportunity to 2018 01:51:57.800 --> 01:51:59.560 talk to you, you and your listeners. Well, the first 2019 01:51:59.640 --> 01:52:01.920 topic got me a little worried. Now, just because someone 2020 01:52:02.079 --> 01:52:06.000 thinks it may happen doesn't necessarily mean that they're relying 2021 01:52:06.119 --> 01:52:09.760 on car You know, concrete facts and information. But I'm 2022 01:52:09.760 --> 01:52:12.399 a little frightened by fifty one percent of Americans worrying 2023 01:52:12.399 --> 01:52:16.560 about a stock market crash, you know, as opposed to 2024 01:52:16.600 --> 01:52:19.800 like a correction or a downturn or something. But I 2025 01:52:19.880 --> 01:52:24.479 mean a crash is a significant, like massive life changing 2026 01:52:24.640 --> 01:52:28.520 ruining phenomenon. Yeah, it all depends on how you react 2027 01:52:28.560 --> 01:52:29.159 to these things too. 2028 01:52:29.279 --> 01:52:32.000 Now I would point out that none of these things, 2029 01:52:32.159 --> 01:52:35.279 none of these forecasts are ever based on factual information, 2030 01:52:35.399 --> 01:52:37.680 which is what makes them forecasts. We never know what's coming, 2031 01:52:37.800 --> 01:52:40.199 that's just these are just measurements of what mood are 2032 01:52:40.239 --> 01:52:43.319 we in. So one of this is that a new 2033 01:52:43.399 --> 01:52:45.520 study is out showing that fifty one percent of people 2034 01:52:45.560 --> 01:52:49.600 are expecting a market crash. I also would remind everyone 2035 01:52:49.760 --> 01:52:52.520 that the same percentage of people were expecting the second 2036 01:52:52.640 --> 01:52:55.680 leg down from the recession, the brief recession that occurred 2037 01:52:55.760 --> 01:52:59.159 during the COVID period that was five years ago, and 2038 01:52:59.319 --> 01:53:01.680 they spent probablyably two or three years waiting for that 2039 01:53:01.840 --> 01:53:03.600 to kick in, and it never did, thank you. We 2040 01:53:03.720 --> 01:53:06.079 just talk about things until they happen or don't happen. 2041 01:53:07.399 --> 01:53:09.920 That way, see, because you know, there always is going 2042 01:53:10.000 --> 01:53:11.920 to be some kind of downturn at some point. So 2043 01:53:12.000 --> 01:53:14.960 if you keep the conversation going on for enough years, 2044 01:53:15.359 --> 01:53:17.239 then at some point you can say, see, I told 2045 01:53:17.279 --> 01:53:20.319 you so exactly. I've been talking about rain for the 2046 01:53:20.359 --> 01:53:22.800 better part of a week, Brian, and look, lo and behold, 2047 01:53:22.840 --> 01:53:24.000 I was right last night. 2048 01:53:24.079 --> 01:53:26.640 Go pick this all up. I'm no, you kept this 2049 01:53:26.760 --> 01:53:30.039 all up. But some of this, this this expression of concern, 2050 01:53:30.159 --> 01:53:32.560 I guess is predicated on the tariff situation, which I 2051 01:53:32.640 --> 01:53:34.640 know we're going to be talking a little bit more about. 2052 01:53:34.680 --> 01:53:37.920 But tariffs have got people a little spooked and jittery. 2053 01:53:37.920 --> 01:53:42.720 I mean, I've saw some really frightening uh statistics about 2054 01:53:43.199 --> 01:53:45.920 the impact on car buying and how much it may 2055 01:53:46.079 --> 01:53:48.319 increase the price of cars, which I know is on 2056 01:53:48.359 --> 01:53:51.479 your short list of talk about today. Maybe ten thousand 2057 01:53:51.520 --> 01:53:54.359 dollars more, depending But it's you know, when you looked 2058 01:53:54.399 --> 01:53:57.359 at the breakdown of what's in an American car, you know, 2059 01:53:57.439 --> 01:54:00.239 American car made in Detroit, you're like, actually, oh, it's 2060 01:54:00.279 --> 01:54:03.560 not it's like forty to sixty percent imported. Stop. 2061 01:54:04.680 --> 01:54:07.680 Just because the CEO's rear end sits in an office 2062 01:54:07.720 --> 01:54:10.199 that is within the bounds of the United States doesn't 2063 01:54:10.239 --> 01:54:13.119 mean that that particular company's cars are exempt. For example, 2064 01:54:13.439 --> 01:54:16.840 terriff exposure for GMS about forty five percent, twenty five 2065 01:54:16.920 --> 01:54:20.159 percent for Stalantis, the artist formerly known as Chrysler, and 2066 01:54:20.199 --> 01:54:23.000 about twenty percent for four. So even in US made cars, 2067 01:54:23.000 --> 01:54:26.359 about thirty five percent of parts are not compliant with 2068 01:54:26.520 --> 01:54:29.800 the US Mexico Canada agreement from a few years ago 2069 01:54:30.319 --> 01:54:32.279 that Trump put in place but doesn't seem to like anymore. 2070 01:54:32.560 --> 01:54:35.119 So the estimates rise from you know, anywhere around twenty 2071 01:54:35.159 --> 01:54:38.680 seven hundred to five thousand dollars maybe in some extreme scenarios, 2072 01:54:38.920 --> 01:54:42.119 like you mentioned, ten thousand dollars in the added costs 2073 01:54:42.239 --> 01:54:43.439 of paying. 2074 01:54:43.199 --> 01:54:43.880 For these arguments. 2075 01:54:44.119 --> 01:54:46.840 The thing to look at, though, is these aren't supposed 2076 01:54:46.840 --> 01:54:48.119 to kick in for a couple of weeks. These are 2077 01:54:48.239 --> 01:54:52.520 still negotiating tactics. Maybe something changes between now in April 2078 01:54:52.560 --> 01:54:55.880 second or third, whenever theing's actually kick in, but remains 2079 01:54:55.920 --> 01:54:56.319 to be seen. 2080 01:54:56.760 --> 01:55:00.399 Yeah, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the scenario does change, 2081 01:55:00.439 --> 01:55:04.399 and maybe whoever he's asking for something from will capitulate 2082 01:55:04.560 --> 01:55:06.520 and give it to some of Trump's terms and that 2083 01:55:06.600 --> 01:55:08.720 we won't have to go through the tariff struggle because 2084 01:55:08.760 --> 01:55:10.000 you know, I mean, you know it, I know it 2085 01:55:10.039 --> 01:55:11.880 they're going to make the price that things go up. 2086 01:55:11.960 --> 01:55:14.640 There's just there's nothing you can get around that, whether 2087 01:55:14.680 --> 01:55:17.640 they're fair or not, I mean reciprocal. I understand the 2088 01:55:17.840 --> 01:55:22.920 fairness argument because we're having our things subject to tariffs 2089 01:55:22.960 --> 01:55:25.199 over on their side of the ledger of whatever country 2090 01:55:25.279 --> 01:55:28.199 is receiving them and slapping the tariffs on why they're 2091 01:55:28.279 --> 01:55:30.840 doing that. I don't know the genesis or basis behind 2092 01:55:30.920 --> 01:55:33.680 any of it, but you know, if this isn't trying 2093 01:55:33.720 --> 01:55:36.880 to create an even playing field, that argument at least 2094 01:55:36.920 --> 01:55:39.840 passes Mustard. But you can't get around the practical effect 2095 01:55:39.960 --> 01:55:42.640 that they're going to make things more expensive. So and 2096 01:55:42.760 --> 01:55:45.279 that's we don't need that right now, Brian. 2097 01:55:46.039 --> 01:55:48.159 That is not helping, of course no, But well I 2098 01:55:48.159 --> 01:55:50.520 would throw out there though, if you were one interesting 2099 01:55:50.600 --> 01:55:53.039 thing I've noticed over the past couple months, because I've 2100 01:55:53.119 --> 01:55:54.960 noticed my phones haven't ranged very much. 2101 01:55:55.039 --> 01:55:56.319 People aren't too spooked by this. 2102 01:55:56.840 --> 01:55:58.880 Some of it is because there's a decent amount of 2103 01:55:58.880 --> 01:56:01.079 people out there who feel that the person in charge 2104 01:56:01.159 --> 01:56:03.039 right now is exactly who they wanted, and this is 2105 01:56:03.159 --> 01:56:05.119 just the pain we have to go for we have 2106 01:56:05.239 --> 01:56:07.279 to deal with. But other people are simply looking and 2107 01:56:07.319 --> 01:56:09.199 I would say most people are simply looking at their 2108 01:56:09.239 --> 01:56:10.079 investment statements. 2109 01:56:10.319 --> 01:56:11.279 If you are sitting on a. 2110 01:56:11.359 --> 01:56:15.319 Properly diversified portfolio, you're not down that much because where 2111 01:56:15.399 --> 01:56:19.199 the United States is proactively making changes to present ourselves 2112 01:56:19.279 --> 01:56:21.920 differently to the world and the overall economic situation on 2113 01:56:22.000 --> 01:56:25.199 this planet that is causing so some of this is 2114 01:56:25.279 --> 01:56:28.000 pretty much self inflicted. We're going to grumble about tariffs 2115 01:56:28.000 --> 01:56:29.880 and all these things, well, then yeah, the stock market's 2116 01:56:29.880 --> 01:56:32.600 going to get a little squirrely. That creates an opportunity 2117 01:56:32.960 --> 01:56:35.920 for other places. So therefore, as we're sitting here right now, 2118 01:56:36.039 --> 01:56:37.840 the S and P five hundred is down about five 2119 01:56:37.920 --> 01:56:40.920 percent for the year. The Nasdaq is an official correction territory, 2120 01:56:41.000 --> 01:56:42.279 down ten percent a year. 2121 01:56:42.319 --> 01:56:42.600 Today. 2122 01:56:43.000 --> 01:56:46.000 International stocks, which I've spent the last ten years trying 2123 01:56:46.000 --> 01:56:48.840 to convince people not to dump, are up nine percent. 2124 01:56:49.199 --> 01:56:51.119 Our merging market funds are up about four and a 2125 01:56:51.159 --> 01:56:54.159 half percent. So if you have a diversified portfolio, you're 2126 01:56:54.239 --> 01:56:58.199 probably about even for the year. Despite some of the scariest, craziest, 2127 01:56:58.279 --> 01:57:02.279 most unsettling headlines I've seen, so mostly the market is quiet. 2128 01:57:02.800 --> 01:57:05.119 Well, you know, it's interesting you put that in the 2129 01:57:05.239 --> 01:57:07.880 context of your phone not ringing very much, because, as 2130 01:57:07.920 --> 01:57:10.439 you pointed out so many times over the years, your 2131 01:57:10.520 --> 01:57:13.439 phone will ring a lot when it hits the fan. 2132 01:57:13.560 --> 01:57:15.680 In some way, you got a you know, precipitous drop, 2133 01:57:15.720 --> 01:57:17.720 and the S and P five hundred or something. People 2134 01:57:17.840 --> 01:57:19.880 get all wigged out and like, should I sell? Should 2135 01:57:19.880 --> 01:57:23.880 I sell? And that's what you're you're a counselor as 2136 01:57:23.920 --> 01:57:26.680 a financial planner, You're you're a talker off of a 2137 01:57:26.840 --> 01:57:29.000 ledge kind of guy, exactly. 2138 01:57:29.199 --> 01:57:30.880 And that's what we talk about. We talked about how 2139 01:57:30.920 --> 01:57:32.199 are we going to deal with these things? Then we 2140 01:57:32.279 --> 01:57:34.960 also put it in context of history. Something else I've 2141 01:57:35.000 --> 01:57:38.479 been boning up on is what happens, what has happened 2142 01:57:38.560 --> 01:57:40.920 during some of the scariest historical times we've had here 2143 01:57:41.239 --> 01:57:43.640 and then the next closest one. And I don't mean 2144 01:57:43.680 --> 01:57:46.840 to prognosticate anything here, but World War Two obviously was 2145 01:57:46.880 --> 01:57:48.680 a reshuffling of the deck in terms of how the 2146 01:57:48.720 --> 01:57:52.239 world gets along with each other. Nineteen forty one, the 2147 01:57:52.399 --> 01:57:54.520 S and P five hundred was down somewhere between ten 2148 01:57:54.560 --> 01:57:57.079 and fifteen percent. That was when we first stepped into 2149 01:57:57.159 --> 01:58:01.840 that fray, and the unknown became the talk of the day. 2150 01:58:01.880 --> 01:58:03.039 We have no idea what's coming out of this. 2151 01:58:03.560 --> 01:58:06.439 Nineteen forty two, forty three, forty four, and forty five 2152 01:58:06.840 --> 01:58:10.079 were each up a minimum of fifteen to twenty percent. 2153 01:58:10.399 --> 01:58:13.079 So if you own stocks through that entire period, you 2154 01:58:13.199 --> 01:58:15.800 did just fine. You weren't comfortable, you weren't happy, but 2155 01:58:15.920 --> 01:58:16.840 you didn't lose money. 2156 01:58:17.560 --> 01:58:19.359 I did not know that. That's interesting. 2157 01:58:19.439 --> 01:58:22.039 It's kind of mine, Bob, and think about it, because 2158 01:58:22.239 --> 01:58:24.479 all that means when wherever we have craziness, we don't 2159 01:58:24.560 --> 01:58:28.000 root for this stuff. But generally speaking, American companies historically 2160 01:58:28.079 --> 01:58:30.840 have been the best ever at figuring out about how 2161 01:58:30.880 --> 01:58:33.319 to profit off of something. So remember the stories from 2162 01:58:33.319 --> 01:58:36.439 World War Two about how factories pivoted to making instead 2163 01:58:36.479 --> 01:58:40.000 of cars, they were making tanks. Instead of we're creating tires, 2164 01:58:40.039 --> 01:58:42.520 they were making treads for the equipment we needed overseas. 2165 01:58:42.760 --> 01:58:45.840 It's just a catalyst the market will pivot to wherever 2166 01:58:45.920 --> 01:58:48.359 the profits can be made. We saw the same thing 2167 01:58:48.479 --> 01:58:50.840 when COVID kicked in and everybody had to go out 2168 01:58:50.920 --> 01:58:52.880 by a second set of computers to take home so 2169 01:58:52.920 --> 01:58:54.840 we can all work from home. We all never heard 2170 01:58:54.840 --> 01:58:57.159 of zoom before. Now zoom is pretty much uiquitous I'm 2171 01:58:57.159 --> 01:58:59.600 looking at you on it right now. These are just 2172 01:59:00.439 --> 01:59:02.760 that create an opportunity for somebody to make money. 2173 01:59:03.159 --> 01:59:07.039 Yeah, And I guess the other component is when Trump 2174 01:59:07.039 --> 01:59:09.399 announced these tariffs. And I'm not sure there's a direct 2175 01:59:09.720 --> 01:59:12.880 straight line you can draw, but a lot of very 2176 01:59:13.119 --> 01:59:17.760 major businesses, you know, large multi billion dollar companies, including 2177 01:59:17.760 --> 01:59:20.960 autobile manufacturers, So they're going to start moving some production here. 2178 01:59:21.000 --> 01:59:23.760 And that's exactly the point Trump was trying to accomplish 2179 01:59:24.119 --> 01:59:28.039 the return of American manufacturing jobs. And maybe it'll it'll 2180 01:59:28.079 --> 01:59:30.079 bear fruit. I guess the question is when you look 2181 01:59:30.119 --> 01:59:34.159 at the component parts of these American autobiles, as we 2182 01:59:34.279 --> 01:59:37.600 just talked about, can we get those component parts to 2183 01:59:37.760 --> 01:59:40.600 return or be manufactured here, and if so, how long 2184 01:59:40.600 --> 01:59:43.880 would something like that take and how long will it 2185 01:59:44.039 --> 01:59:45.039 or how much will it cost? 2186 01:59:45.159 --> 01:59:48.119 As you always point out that we are an expensive 2187 01:59:48.199 --> 01:59:50.600 place to produce anything because we've got an awful lot 2188 01:59:50.600 --> 01:59:51.640 of rules and things in place. 2189 01:59:51.760 --> 01:59:53.359 Some of that is being dismantled right now. 2190 01:59:54.000 --> 01:59:57.039 You know, there were some announcements made over the weekend 2191 01:59:57.119 --> 02:00:00.640 about some steps he's taken to weekend unions, some first 2192 02:00:00.680 --> 02:00:03.960 shots fired across the valle at the labor market here 2193 02:00:04.000 --> 02:00:06.279 in the United States. That's not necessarily going to go 2194 02:00:06.359 --> 02:00:08.600 well because a lot of those people were his supporters 2195 02:00:08.920 --> 02:00:10.640 and they're having some of the rugs pulled out from 2196 02:00:10.720 --> 02:00:13.279 under them. But if we're going to manufacture parts here, 2197 02:00:13.359 --> 02:00:15.880 and this is all about making the United States more profitable, 2198 02:00:16.199 --> 02:00:18.439 he's got to look at the cost of good soul. 2199 02:00:18.560 --> 02:00:20.680 What does it cost to produce this stuff? If just 2200 02:00:20.760 --> 02:00:23.520 bringing the jobs back on shore isn't the only step 2201 02:00:24.039 --> 02:00:24.560 that's true. 2202 02:00:24.720 --> 02:00:27.319 That is true, and we know all day long it's 2203 02:00:27.359 --> 02:00:30.960 impossible to even the playing field from a production cost 2204 02:00:31.039 --> 02:00:33.680 standpoint when you are dealing with countries that have just 2205 02:00:33.960 --> 02:00:37.399 practically dictatorial control over the working conditions, and quite often 2206 02:00:37.479 --> 02:00:40.199 they're poor and the people do not get paid very much. 2207 02:00:40.319 --> 02:00:42.960 So that in and of itself is kind of a 2208 02:00:44.359 --> 02:00:47.239 It's a drag on doing business in the United States. 2209 02:00:47.279 --> 02:00:49.319 That's why everybody moved over to China for so long. 2210 02:00:49.359 --> 02:00:51.279 We can give you embraced China as a trading partner. 2211 02:00:51.399 --> 02:00:55.439 They have inexpensive labor and they're welcoming. They're happy to 2212 02:00:55.520 --> 02:00:59.479 open manufacturing facilities and get that the skids greazed for that, 2213 02:00:59.640 --> 02:01:01.680 and then next thing you know, we find that we're 2214 02:01:01.720 --> 02:01:03.720 not making anything here when it all hits a fan, 2215 02:01:03.880 --> 02:01:07.039 like during the pandemic that was a frightened wi cold 2216 02:01:07.079 --> 02:01:09.399 water does to reality. I think I'd rather pay more 2217 02:01:09.880 --> 02:01:12.520 for something if knowing that it was made here and 2218 02:01:12.640 --> 02:01:15.640 that we have a steady supply of it, you know, 2219 02:01:15.920 --> 02:01:18.359 then I have to rely on what might very well 2220 02:01:18.399 --> 02:01:21.359 be our arch enemy in a conflict to make it. 2221 02:01:22.079 --> 02:01:24.039 Yeah, I think philosophically you'd have a lot of people 2222 02:01:24.119 --> 02:01:26.560 agreeing with that. But on the other hand, the market 2223 02:01:26.640 --> 02:01:29.119 and the price of any given stock is based off 2224 02:01:29.159 --> 02:01:32.439 of how profitable can that company be going forward. Philosophically 2225 02:01:32.520 --> 02:01:34.359 we can say, yeah, I want to buy stuff from here, 2226 02:01:34.600 --> 02:01:36.239 but that's going to have an impact on the price 2227 02:01:36.279 --> 02:01:36.600 as well. 2228 02:01:36.840 --> 02:01:39.159 All right, well, we'll stop contemplating our navels. We'll bring 2229 02:01:39.479 --> 02:01:41.439 Brian James back. Talk a little bit about futures dropping 2230 02:01:41.479 --> 02:01:44.439 among the tariffiars and people. I guess from a good 2231 02:01:44.520 --> 02:01:47.279 stand thing they're adding to their rainy day fund, which 2232 02:01:47.279 --> 02:01:49.520 I'm gonna guess Brian James thinks is a good idea. 2233 02:01:49.920 --> 02:01:52.439 More with money Monday's Brian James. After I mentioned my 2234 02:01:52.520 --> 02:01:54.800 dear friends at Bud Herbert Motors get in touch with 2235 02:01:54.840 --> 02:01:56.960 but Herbert for all the lawn equipment you need. They 2236 02:01:57.039 --> 02:01:59.720 have the best. They only carry world class brands. John, 2237 02:02:00.479 --> 02:02:04.279 they got ex Mark mower, Steel Handa power equipment. That's 2238 02:02:04.279 --> 02:02:07.039 where I got my professional level Honda push mower, last 2239 02:02:07.079 --> 02:02:09.079 one I'll ever have to buy. It's built that well. 2240 02:02:09.159 --> 02:02:11.279 Said the Herbert family. You will be working with a 2241 02:02:11.319 --> 02:02:13.479 Herbert family member, so they're going to make sure you 2242 02:02:13.520 --> 02:02:15.520 get the right piece of lawn equipment that you're looking for. 2243 02:02:16.159 --> 02:02:18.720 There know everything there is to know about the equipment 2244 02:02:18.760 --> 02:02:21.000 that they sell, delivered to your door, and they service 2245 02:02:21.079 --> 02:02:23.319 what they sell. You can't get that kind of service 2246 02:02:23.359 --> 02:02:25.840 from a box store. And I had a terrible box 2247 02:02:25.880 --> 02:02:28.279 store experience, which is why I'm so pleased that a 2248 02:02:28.359 --> 02:02:30.920 good friend of mine steer me to Bud Herbert Motors. 2249 02:02:31.000 --> 02:02:32.720 And that's why I'm blessed to be in a position 2250 02:02:32.800 --> 02:02:35.520 to steer you to Bud Herbert Motors. Tell the Herbert family, 2251 02:02:35.600 --> 02:02:37.399 Brian said, Hi, when you get in touch with them, 2252 02:02:37.439 --> 02:02:40.000 you can do it two ways. Go to Budebertmotors dot com. 2253 02:02:40.520 --> 02:02:43.920 Budherbertmotors dot com five four one thirty two ninety one 2254 02:02:43.960 --> 02:02:46.840 Fifth generation family on An operated five one three five 2255 02:02:46.960 --> 02:02:48.960 four one thirty two ninety one. 2256 02:02:49.039 --> 02:02:51.079 Fifty five KRC are. 2257 02:02:50.960 --> 02:02:53.479 Your nineteenth if you've have KERCD talk station. Brian Thomas 2258 02:02:53.479 --> 02:02:58.319 Swift all worse financials. Brian James doing money Monday, continuing 2259 02:02:58.359 --> 02:03:00.960 our discussion, a little bit about future here. Just pulled 2260 02:03:01.039 --> 02:03:04.000 up the Wall Street Journal's web page and dows down 2261 02:03:04.000 --> 02:03:07.199 about zero point sixty seven. Future wise, it looks like 2262 02:03:07.319 --> 02:03:10.479 one point down for SMP five hundred, NASDAC about almost 2263 02:03:10.520 --> 02:03:13.199 a point and a half, and the headline upper left 2264 02:03:13.199 --> 02:03:17.479 hand corner global stocks slump as concerns mount over US tariffs. 2265 02:03:17.520 --> 02:03:24.840 Brian was he not there anymore? I don't see his 2266 02:03:24.920 --> 02:03:36.680 little photograph in the pickup or the box there. Joe, Okay, 2267 02:03:37.239 --> 02:03:40.920 he's not there. He disappeared. Brian James went running and hiding. 2268 02:03:41.039 --> 02:03:46.760 I don't know what happened to him anyway. Apparently, US 2269 02:03:46.800 --> 02:03:49.880 Savings Rates wrote in Rose in February, for the second 2270 02:03:49.880 --> 02:03:53.520 straight month, Americans rebuilding their rainy day funds after the 2271 02:03:53.560 --> 02:03:56.840 holiday shopping season. It's the article that he provided me 2272 02:03:56.920 --> 02:04:00.239 for my insight in your edification. Savings rates up to 2273 02:04:00.319 --> 02:04:02.680 four point six percent last month from four point three 2274 02:04:02.720 --> 02:04:05.199 in January and only three point three in December. They 2275 02:04:05.239 --> 02:04:08.199 say a low savings right usually means consumers would have 2276 02:04:08.359 --> 02:04:11.319 to reduce spending at some point to rebuild their savings, 2277 02:04:11.720 --> 02:04:14.960 which slows the economy. So the current savings rate below 2278 02:04:15.039 --> 02:04:17.319 normal but not accessively so arranged from about five to 2279 02:04:17.399 --> 02:04:20.159 six percent in a decade before the pandemic. So and 2280 02:04:20.239 --> 02:04:22.279 I've always heard that, you know, from a financial standing 2281 02:04:22.319 --> 02:04:24.920 plan point, you know, try to sock away some money 2282 02:04:25.039 --> 02:04:27.680 to cover you for the rainy day. You never know 2283 02:04:27.720 --> 02:04:28.960 when it's going to hit the fan. I had a 2284 02:04:29.000 --> 02:04:30.680 friend of mine just lost his job the other day. 2285 02:04:30.680 --> 02:04:34.319 I think it was unanticipated, but it does happen. So 2286 02:04:34.600 --> 02:04:37.600 making sure you have some money socked away. And I'm 2287 02:04:37.640 --> 02:04:39.119 not sure the amount. One of the things I wanted 2288 02:04:39.159 --> 02:04:42.479 to ask Brian was how many months worth of daily 2289 02:04:42.640 --> 02:04:46.359 savings or our money you should have socked away in 2290 02:04:46.479 --> 02:04:50.920 that savings account. Anyhow? Is that him back again, Joe? 2291 02:04:52.079 --> 02:04:53.960 You're trying to get a hold of him, all right, Well, 2292 02:04:54.000 --> 02:04:55.760 you kind of got me off guard. I know it's 2293 02:04:55.760 --> 02:04:58.079 not your fault, Joe, because he just kind of disappeared 2294 02:04:58.720 --> 02:05:03.560 but left me without a topic. So I thought we'd 2295 02:05:03.600 --> 02:05:06.720 be filling up this half of an hour anyway, one thing. 2296 02:05:06.760 --> 02:05:08.399 I did what I get to since we were talking 2297 02:05:08.439 --> 02:05:11.119 about Democrats and their policies and not seem to be 2298 02:05:11.159 --> 02:05:13.960 able to articulate any strategy to deal with Republicans other 2299 02:05:14.039 --> 02:05:16.399 than scream and yell and pull their hair out over 2300 02:05:17.239 --> 02:05:19.239 really things that don't make any sense. Kind of a 2301 02:05:19.399 --> 02:05:21.560 theme this morning out on the heels of that ridiculous 2302 02:05:21.600 --> 02:05:26.359 Tesla protest. Elon Musk isn't a fascist, it's definitionally he's 2303 02:05:26.399 --> 02:05:28.279 the polar opposite of it. Brian was talking about that 2304 02:05:28.399 --> 02:05:32.600 reducing rules and regulations. That's what stagnates an economy, it 2305 02:05:32.680 --> 02:05:35.159 slows it down, and those rules and regulations are telling 2306 02:05:35.239 --> 02:05:38.000 you how to run your business. That's what fascists do. 2307 02:05:39.319 --> 02:05:41.239 So when you've got an administration that's in there that's 2308 02:05:41.279 --> 02:05:44.000 doing its best to get rid of the burden of 2309 02:05:44.239 --> 02:05:47.439 ridiculous regulations, you are dealing with an administration that is 2310 02:05:47.479 --> 02:05:51.640 the polar opposite of fascism. So get your definition straight 2311 02:05:52.840 --> 02:05:54.800 and try to make some sense of why going after 2312 02:05:55.159 --> 02:06:00.239 Elon Musk and Tesla's makes any sense whatsoever. I Brian there, 2313 02:06:02.680 --> 02:06:03.000 I was. 2314 02:06:03.039 --> 02:06:04.720 Looking at you and hearing you the whole time, and 2315 02:06:05.479 --> 02:06:07.319 we just got done talking about how great zoom was 2316 02:06:07.399 --> 02:06:09.279 and what a catalyst it was, and then here we go, so. 2317 02:06:09.479 --> 02:06:11.399 I think that I'll take the falter jinxing. 2318 02:06:11.479 --> 02:06:14.199 Then I go, that's okay. I'm glad he came back. 2319 02:06:14.279 --> 02:06:16.880 I was just getting rid of launch into another discussion 2320 02:06:16.920 --> 02:06:19.760 about the politics when we find ourselves. But as I 2321 02:06:19.840 --> 02:06:21.439 was mentioned, thinking we were going to be talking about 2322 02:06:21.479 --> 02:06:24.600 the global stock slamp, concerns mount over US tariff. Just 2323 02:06:24.640 --> 02:06:27.079 an update on the Wall Street Journal. Across the board, 2324 02:06:27.239 --> 02:06:30.159 you know, futures are down. The worst down right now 2325 02:06:30.239 --> 02:06:32.079 is NASDAC at one and a half, but the rest 2326 02:06:32.079 --> 02:06:33.720 of them are down about a point, maybe a little 2327 02:06:33.720 --> 02:06:35.960 bit under dal Jones Industrials this point seventy three. 2328 02:06:36.760 --> 02:06:37.479 So this is just. 2329 02:06:39.600 --> 02:06:43.520 Didn't they factor in the market already that these these 2330 02:06:43.560 --> 02:06:44.560 tariffs are going to kick in? 2331 02:06:44.720 --> 02:06:48.800 Brian, Yeah, and that's why we've seen the volatility. Remember 2332 02:06:48.840 --> 02:06:51.199 we get we're having lately, we're having. 2333 02:06:50.960 --> 02:06:54.319 About two days of down one percent, you know, down 2334 02:06:54.359 --> 02:06:55.800 one one and a half percent, and then we'll be 2335 02:06:55.880 --> 02:06:58.119 down three percent and then we get a chunk of 2336 02:06:58.159 --> 02:07:00.399 it back because the market will decide that they're something 2337 02:07:00.439 --> 02:07:02.720 out there, some shiny object that it likes, and it'll 2338 02:07:02.760 --> 02:07:06.000 bring it back, So we are anticipating these these tariffs 2339 02:07:06.079 --> 02:07:08.239 kicking in, and then we are celebrating what it looks 2340 02:07:08.279 --> 02:07:10.520 like they're not going to kick in tomorrow. At some 2341 02:07:10.840 --> 02:07:13.920 level of this, Brian is going to be saber rattling 2342 02:07:14.319 --> 02:07:17.279 because it is a negotiation tactic. Remember what Donald Trump thinks, 2343 02:07:17.319 --> 02:07:19.720 he's the best in the world at that's making a deal. 2344 02:07:20.079 --> 02:07:21.680 So a lot of this is I'm going to do 2345 02:07:21.800 --> 02:07:24.079 something terrible to you in a month unless you act 2346 02:07:24.119 --> 02:07:25.680 the way that I want you to act. And in 2347 02:07:25.800 --> 02:07:28.800 some cases he's getting some concessions there. Remember our first 2348 02:07:29.079 --> 02:07:30.880 very first discussion about this, probably a month and a 2349 02:07:30.920 --> 02:07:33.000 half ago, where the tariffs that they were they were 2350 02:07:33.039 --> 02:07:36.399 going to levy against Canada that went away overnight, became 2351 02:07:36.479 --> 02:07:39.279 something else as the negotiation continued. But the way he 2352 02:07:39.439 --> 02:07:42.239 stated it at the very outset of the discussion is 2353 02:07:42.359 --> 02:07:44.520 very different from what's happening now. So some of this 2354 02:07:44.680 --> 02:07:47.760 is saber rattling by both sides. No country on the 2355 02:07:47.880 --> 02:07:51.159 face of the Earth can afford to completely seclude itself. 2356 02:07:50.840 --> 02:07:52.039 From the rest of the world. 2357 02:07:52.600 --> 02:07:56.239 Now that our every every company's customer base is the 2358 02:07:56.439 --> 02:08:00.439 entire planet, so there won't be any endgame. We are 2359 02:08:00.479 --> 02:08:01.880 just going to take our ball and go home and 2360 02:08:02.000 --> 02:08:04.079 only sell to American customers. 2361 02:08:04.359 --> 02:08:05.279 That is not possible. 2362 02:08:05.479 --> 02:08:08.079 Right on one of my favorite movies, Costablanca, one of 2363 02:08:08.159 --> 02:08:12.479 the lines isolationism is no longer a practical foreign policy, 2364 02:08:12.560 --> 02:08:14.760 And I think that's certainly the case in matters of business, 2365 02:08:15.359 --> 02:08:18.199 international business and real quick I read the article in 2366 02:08:18.239 --> 02:08:20.720 the savings rates have gone, people who are like putting, 2367 02:08:20.920 --> 02:08:24.159 you know, replenishing their savings accounts. As a financial planner, 2368 02:08:24.359 --> 02:08:27.199 is there a certain and I don't mean a dollar figure, 2369 02:08:27.279 --> 02:08:30.880 but based upon one's earnings and one's living expenses, is 2370 02:08:30.920 --> 02:08:33.319 there a certain number of months worth of money that 2371 02:08:33.560 --> 02:08:36.039 is recommended to sock away just in case. 2372 02:08:37.840 --> 02:08:38.039 Yeah. 2373 02:08:38.319 --> 02:08:40.039 I think that's a great important discussion to have. 2374 02:08:40.479 --> 02:08:42.119 And for people who are. 2375 02:08:42.199 --> 02:08:44.640 Who lead really really simple lives and there's not a 2376 02:08:44.680 --> 02:08:47.399 whole lot going on at the moment, I would a 2377 02:08:47.600 --> 02:08:50.439 minimum of three months. I would say more like six months. 2378 02:08:50.720 --> 02:08:52.560 If you've got kids and a mortgage in the mix, 2379 02:08:52.640 --> 02:08:54.920 and you have two jobs, you know, two high paying jobs, 2380 02:08:55.000 --> 02:08:56.520 that kind of thing you might want to look at 2381 02:08:56.560 --> 02:08:59.680 more like twelve months, because something crazy like that could 2382 02:08:59.760 --> 02:09:03.960 have significant amount of impact on your situation. One thought 2383 02:09:04.000 --> 02:09:06.760 I would throw out there. I believe personally the ideal 2384 02:09:06.920 --> 02:09:09.000 savings rate is zero percent. 2385 02:09:09.359 --> 02:09:10.359 The reason I say that is. 2386 02:09:10.399 --> 02:09:12.600 Because it should have been planned for a long time ago, 2387 02:09:13.039 --> 02:09:15.159 and if you've got that kind of money socked aside, 2388 02:09:15.399 --> 02:09:17.560 you don't need to be putting more into it. So 2389 02:09:17.720 --> 02:09:20.560 I have not changed my savings rate in probably two decades, 2390 02:09:20.600 --> 02:09:23.199 because we solved the emergency prone problem a while ago, 2391 02:09:23.239 --> 02:09:25.239 and ever since then I focused on getting kids through 2392 02:09:25.239 --> 02:09:26.680 college and our retirement. 2393 02:09:26.239 --> 02:09:26.800 And so forth. 2394 02:09:27.000 --> 02:09:28.680 I don't believe you need to put. 2395 02:09:28.600 --> 02:09:31.800 Cash into your savings account every single month. If you're 2396 02:09:31.840 --> 02:09:34.920 already there, it's just piling more money aside, and. 2397 02:09:35.039 --> 02:09:37.560 It's not invested, I mean, other than bank interest rate, 2398 02:09:37.560 --> 02:09:39.520 which we all know doesn't pay very much compared to 2399 02:09:39.560 --> 02:09:41.960 what your yields might be in the market investment. 2400 02:09:43.079 --> 02:09:43.479 Exactly. 2401 02:09:43.520 --> 02:09:45.119 I want to make sure people didn't hear me, did 2402 02:09:45.199 --> 02:09:46.640 not just hear me say that you don't need an 2403 02:09:46.680 --> 02:09:47.359 emergency count. 2404 02:09:47.880 --> 02:09:50.279 The point us to know what you need and then 2405 02:09:50.399 --> 02:09:52.680 know when you've accomplished a goal so that you can 2406 02:09:52.760 --> 02:09:53.720 move on to the next goal. 2407 02:09:54.000 --> 02:09:55.960 But that's if first order of business in terms of 2408 02:09:56.079 --> 02:09:59.640 establishing a financial plan is to get that base amount 2409 02:10:00.359 --> 02:10:02.720 away so you can then invest cam I right on 2410 02:10:02.800 --> 02:10:04.560 that that is. 2411 02:10:04.600 --> 02:10:06.920 The oil in the engine, because we can do magic 2412 02:10:07.039 --> 02:10:10.319 with the long term investments. But when the ship goes sideways, 2413 02:10:10.439 --> 02:10:13.520 is it occasionally will you lose your job or you know, 2414 02:10:13.640 --> 02:10:15.680 the stock market takes a chunk away a lot of times, 2415 02:10:15.720 --> 02:10:17.279 some of those that happened all at the same time. 2416 02:10:17.920 --> 02:10:19.880 You have to have something to keep you afloat, or 2417 02:10:20.039 --> 02:10:20.920 you'll have to dip. 2418 02:10:20.800 --> 02:10:23.479 Into your long term savings, which probably are taking a 2419 02:10:23.520 --> 02:10:25.199 bit of a hit at the moment. That what I'm 2420 02:10:25.199 --> 02:10:28.039 describing is pretty much happening right now. People are getting 2421 02:10:28.079 --> 02:10:29.640 laid off and they're having to sell at a loss 2422 02:10:29.720 --> 02:10:31.800 to cover the bills because they didn't have an emergency fund. 2423 02:10:31.920 --> 02:10:33.840 And then there's you know, the danger of having to 2424 02:10:33.880 --> 02:10:36.079 pay you know, the taxes and the penalties and things 2425 02:10:36.159 --> 02:10:37.760 like that by tapping into your four h one K. 2426 02:10:38.000 --> 02:10:41.199 So try to avoid that, get that savings padded really well, 2427 02:10:41.399 --> 02:10:43.840 and then you can exhale and just watch your investments grow. 2428 02:10:43.920 --> 02:10:46.479 Brian James, Monday, Monday, I appreciate all Worth Financial loaning 2429 02:10:46.520 --> 02:10:48.600 you out.

Hey if you care 2464 02:12:24.119 --> 02:12:27.439 to call otherwise. Got some local stories here the East 2465 02:12:27.479 --> 02:12:30.439 Palestine train dearrailment. They got a trial today. Norfolk Southern 2466 02:12:30.520 --> 02:12:32.520 wants two other companies to help them pay for the 2467 02:12:32.640 --> 02:12:37.640 six hundred million dollar class action lawsuits settlement over the 2468 02:12:37.680 --> 02:12:41.680 twenty twenty three trained arralment. So the railroad fial motion 2469 02:12:41.880 --> 02:12:44.319 to that sets the goats trial today to try and 2470 02:12:44.439 --> 02:12:48.520 force the railcar owner, a company called GATX, and then 2471 02:12:48.600 --> 02:12:54.039 also the chemical manufacturer on Oxyvinyls to share the cost 2472 02:12:54.119 --> 02:12:56.560 of the settlement. Norfolk Southern believes those two companies are 2473 02:12:56.560 --> 02:13:00.439 partly responsible. U This does not impact any and in 2474 02:13:00.520 --> 02:13:02.640 any way the amount of money the residents were received. 2475 02:13:02.840 --> 02:13:04.640 Simply a question of where the money's going to come from, 2476 02:13:05.359 --> 02:13:07.439 So this only impacts which company has to write a 2477 02:13:07.600 --> 02:13:10.680 check to pay for the class action settlement. Norfolk Southern 2478 02:13:10.920 --> 02:13:15.720 lost a similar lawsuit for the environmental cleanup that they 2479 02:13:15.840 --> 02:13:18.680 had to pay a billion dollars. Norfolk Southern was on 2480 02:13:18.720 --> 02:13:21.039 the hook for a billion dollars, so they tried to 2481 02:13:21.239 --> 02:13:24.479 force GATX and oxy Vinyls to help pony up for 2482 02:13:24.560 --> 02:13:26.880 that and they lost, so it's probably riding on the 2483 02:13:26.920 --> 02:13:31.800 wall for them. Norfolk Southern argues that GATX bears some 2484 02:13:31.880 --> 02:13:35.640 responsibility for the derailment because it owned the railcar that 2485 02:13:35.840 --> 02:13:39.279 was filled with plastic pellets that caused the derailment. That's 2486 02:13:39.319 --> 02:13:41.279 the one that had the bearing that caught on fire. 2487 02:13:42.760 --> 02:13:45.680 And they believe oxy Vinyl should pay because the railroad 2488 02:13:45.720 --> 02:13:49.840 says chemical manufacturer provided inconsistent and inaccurate information about its 2489 02:13:49.920 --> 02:13:53.039 vinyl chloride before officials decided to release and burn it, 2490 02:13:53.079 --> 02:13:55.600 which is obviously what led to the billion dollars worth 2491 02:13:55.600 --> 02:13:59.920 of cleanup that had to happen. Both GATX and oxy 2492 02:14:00.119 --> 02:14:02.159 vinyls so it will be ridiculous to hold them responsible 2493 02:14:02.199 --> 02:14:05.039 for the derailment because Norfolk Southern operated and inspected the 2494 02:14:05.119 --> 02:14:07.840 train and all the cars, as well as was responsible 2495 02:14:07.880 --> 02:14:12.920 for delivering their cargoes safely. GATX said it complied with 2496 02:14:12.960 --> 02:14:15.880 all relevant regulations for taking care of its cars. They said, 2497 02:14:15.920 --> 02:14:19.000 even if the car had been damaged years earlier, because 2498 02:14:19.039 --> 02:14:21.640 it sat in the middle of floodwaters from Hurricane Harvey, 2499 02:14:22.279 --> 02:14:24.439 the railroad should have spotted the problem and repaired it. 2500 02:14:25.680 --> 02:14:28.199 NTSB said the crash was caused by the failure of 2501 02:14:28.239 --> 02:14:32.439 an overheating bearing. Now, the railroad sensor spotted the overheating, 2502 02:14:32.520 --> 02:14:35.119 but it didn't reach a critical temperature and trigger and 2503 02:14:35.199 --> 02:14:38.840 alarm until just before the derailment, so they had very 2504 02:14:38.840 --> 02:14:40.359 little time to stop the train and we all know 2505 02:14:40.439 --> 02:14:43.800 what happened after that. Norfolk Southern is the one that 2506 02:14:43.880 --> 02:14:47.119 recommended the vent and burn operation that released the vinyl 2507 02:14:47.199 --> 02:14:54.239 chloride into everybody's homes and neighborhoods. But the claim the 2508 02:14:54.319 --> 02:14:57.680 claim is that they had had beforehand suggested that chemical 2509 02:14:57.720 --> 02:15:01.000 reaction could happen and caused the tank cars to to explode. However, 2510 02:15:01.720 --> 02:15:05.119 National Transportation and Safety Board confirmed in its investigation that 2511 02:15:05.199 --> 02:15:07.840 it was unnecessary to release all that stuff into the 2512 02:15:07.880 --> 02:15:10.279 air because the tank cars were starting to cool off, 2513 02:15:11.119 --> 02:15:13.920 and the railroad failed to listen to advice from oxyvinals 2514 02:15:14.000 --> 02:15:16.960 experts or share their opinions with officials who made the decision. 2515 02:15:17.640 --> 02:15:20.000 So trial again kicks off the day it's expected to 2516 02:15:20.079 --> 02:15:25.520 last a couple of weeks. Immigrations and Custom agents arrested 2517 02:15:25.560 --> 02:15:28.600 two people working at a construction site at the Butler 2518 02:15:28.640 --> 02:15:31.560 County Jail this week. Sheriff Richard Jones announced via social 2519 02:15:31.600 --> 02:15:34.640 media the two subcontractors work on a construction project at 2520 02:15:34.680 --> 02:15:38.319 the jail arrested by ICE officials. They were arrested after 2521 02:15:38.359 --> 02:15:42.039 deputies reviewed their identification, which included a driver's license, passport, 2522 02:15:42.119 --> 02:15:45.079 and social security guard before entering the jail's construction site. 2523 02:15:45.840 --> 02:15:47.920 According to the press release in the Sheriff's office, upon 2524 02:15:48.000 --> 02:15:49.760 further review of the documents, it was determined that the 2525 02:15:49.800 --> 02:15:52.760 two workers were in fact illegal aliens. An ICE agent 2526 02:15:52.840 --> 02:15:56.079 conducted the interviews with the two individuals, who admitted that 2527 02:15:56.119 --> 02:15:59.479 they were in the United States illegally. Constructions company that 2528 02:15:59.600 --> 02:16:04.359 hired the two subcontractors believed their documents were authentic, according 2529 02:16:04.359 --> 02:16:07.439 to Sheriff Jones, but he is warning employers to be cautious. 2530 02:16:09.439 --> 02:16:12.319 So there are fake documents out there, and you know 2531 02:16:14.079 --> 02:16:17.039 Elon Musk getting rid of this live so security numbers. 2532 02:16:17.159 --> 02:16:21.720 We got time for that one, Jeff, No no way, Sorry, 2533 02:16:22.840 --> 02:16:26.119 Jay apologize.

Joe tried multiple times. He's not 2556 02:17:39.520 --> 02:17:41.799 answering his phone. Doesn't mean it's not an important seminar 2557 02:17:41.879 --> 02:17:46.520 taking place tomorrow night, seven pm. We must prevent future 2558 02:17:46.520 --> 02:17:50.000 administrations from opening our borders. So he's the media director 2559 02:17:50.079 --> 02:17:54.239 for Federation of American Immigration Reform FARE and he's going 2560 02:17:54.280 --> 02:17:56.319 to be discussing the impact of the open borders during 2561 02:17:56.319 --> 02:17:59.479 the Biden administration, reviewed policy changes that Trump has made 2562 02:17:59.479 --> 02:18:01.920 in the first over months or first months of his administration, 2563 02:18:02.680 --> 02:18:06.120 how they've substantially curb mass illegal immigration, which clearly they have. 2564 02:18:06.920 --> 02:18:09.239 And he'll also talk about legislation that has to be 2565 02:18:09.360 --> 02:18:13.479 passed to prevent future administration from implementing an open borders policy. 2566 02:18:14.520 --> 02:18:16.680 You know, this is something that the Republicans and Democrats 2567 02:18:16.719 --> 02:18:18.959 are going to get together on, and you'd think they 2568 02:18:19.040 --> 02:18:21.120 would given that, you know, they're talking about Democrats not 2569 02:18:21.239 --> 02:18:24.239 having really a vision for their party. Maybe they should 2570 02:18:24.239 --> 02:18:26.639 embrace something the vast majority of American people want, which 2571 02:18:26.680 --> 02:18:29.799 is secure borders. You know, briefs bring some sense of 2572 02:18:29.879 --> 02:18:32.319 logic and reason of the borders process, you know, make 2573 02:18:32.399 --> 02:18:35.040 it easier to deny people access to our country since 2574 02:18:35.120 --> 02:18:38.719 our social welfare state is collapsing under its own weight, 2575 02:18:38.840 --> 02:18:40.719 let alone the weight of additional twenty million or so 2576 02:18:40.879 --> 02:18:44.200 people coming in. So empower you America dot org can 2577 02:18:44.280 --> 02:18:48.479 register and watch from the it's a virtual only it apparently, 2578 02:18:48.600 --> 02:18:52.600 so register to attend virtually empower you America dot org 2579 02:18:52.719 --> 02:18:55.760 for that one. So it should be a fascinating discussion. 2580 02:18:55.920 --> 02:18:59.159 And I just the Democrats keep going back to Donald 2581 02:18:59.200 --> 02:19:02.040 Trump stopped the legislation that would have solved the problem. 2582 02:19:02.120 --> 02:19:04.319 The legislation that had been proposed at the time did 2583 02:19:04.399 --> 02:19:09.159 not stop the problem. It just enshrined it. The sort 2584 02:19:09.200 --> 02:19:13.200 of open borders reality So anyhow five one three, seven, 2585 02:19:13.520 --> 02:19:16.479 nine fifty five eight hundred eight two three talk, there's Jay, Jay, 2586 02:19:16.559 --> 02:19:18.719 Thanks for calling back, my friend. Welcome to the morning show. 2587 02:19:19.479 --> 02:19:20.280 Hey, thanks, Brian. 2588 02:19:20.840 --> 02:19:23.360 Hey one or two point out that I had heard 2589 02:19:23.440 --> 02:19:25.840 recently that Trump had put out a warning to the 2590 02:19:25.920 --> 02:19:29.319 automakers and said, you guys better not raise your prices 2591 02:19:30.000 --> 02:19:31.079 because of these tariffs. 2592 02:19:31.280 --> 02:19:31.479 Yeah. 2593 02:19:33.000 --> 02:19:35.799 I thought that's what communists did. I think that's what 2594 02:19:35.920 --> 02:19:39.319 conservatives did, was to set the prices and all the 2595 02:19:39.440 --> 02:19:42.399 rest of it. I understand why he's doing it, but 2596 02:19:42.520 --> 02:19:45.840 I really think the optics are terrible. So I got 2597 02:19:45.879 --> 02:19:49.920 a better idea for him. Why doesn't he tell the automakers. Look, 2598 02:19:49.959 --> 02:19:52.879 I understand I'm putting pressure on your on your cost 2599 02:19:53.000 --> 02:19:57.360 of your products. So I'm going to get us out 2600 02:19:57.440 --> 02:20:02.120 of the cafe standards, and which means corporate average fuel 2601 02:20:02.159 --> 02:20:04.680 efficiency standards that have been in place under the EPA. 2602 02:20:05.440 --> 02:20:08.760 So the EPA. So as a result, for the listeners, 2603 02:20:09.559 --> 02:20:11.760 what this means is, if you're Ford and you're making 2604 02:20:12.040 --> 02:20:15.840 pickup trucks and SUVs that maybe get seventeen twenty twenty 2605 02:20:15.879 --> 02:20:19.360 five miles to the gallon, the federal government says none, no, no, no, 2606 02:20:19.559 --> 02:20:22.200 your average fuel efficiency for the fleet that you make 2607 02:20:22.399 --> 02:20:25.200 for your product needs to be pick a number thirty five. 2608 02:20:26.239 --> 02:20:29.719 So that forces them to make evs whether anybody wants 2609 02:20:29.760 --> 02:20:32.760 to buy them or not. And then it also requires 2610 02:20:32.879 --> 02:20:38.239 them to purchase carbon offset credits from Tesla or other 2611 02:20:38.360 --> 02:20:42.280 EV manufacturers, so they'll have to give their profit to 2612 02:20:42.399 --> 02:20:45.959 EV manufacturers to allow them to stay in business, which 2613 02:20:46.000 --> 02:20:48.799 is a really bad idea. So maybe Trump ought to say, 2614 02:20:49.200 --> 02:20:51.440 cafe standards are no more. We're going to let the 2615 02:20:51.600 --> 02:20:54.319 free market decide what you want to buy, and therefore 2616 02:20:54.360 --> 02:20:58.200 on shackle the hands of Ford and GM and whoever 2617 02:20:58.680 --> 02:21:01.040 that you don't have to make these these EV's that 2618 02:21:01.120 --> 02:21:03.200 are stacking up that nobody wants to buy, just to 2619 02:21:03.239 --> 02:21:03.879 stay in business. 2620 02:21:03.959 --> 02:21:04.879 Isn't that a better idea? 2621 02:21:05.120 --> 02:21:08.040 I agree? I agree completely. And also then we won't 2622 02:21:08.079 --> 02:21:10.120 have to pay incentives for you'd go out and buy 2623 02:21:10.200 --> 02:21:12.680 evs in the form of tax incentives like seventy five 2624 02:21:12.760 --> 02:21:14.520 hundred dollars, go and buy an e Geto a Knox, 2625 02:21:14.879 --> 02:21:17.440 you know, on the on the taxpayer expense. You're doing 2626 02:21:17.520 --> 02:21:20.040 something you might otherwise do because well, it makes that 2627 02:21:20.200 --> 02:21:23.639 vehicle become affordable artificially, so to at great expense of 2628 02:21:23.639 --> 02:21:25.760 the American economy. So I agree. 2629 02:21:26.799 --> 02:21:29.760 And do you know what's odd is I got to 2630 02:21:29.799 --> 02:21:32.559 be a little bit if I was to be honest 2631 02:21:32.639 --> 02:21:36.040 with the right wing media. Sometimes when Trump says stuff 2632 02:21:36.200 --> 02:21:39.840 like that, and I'm a fan of Breitbart and Newsmax 2633 02:21:39.920 --> 02:21:43.120 and some other right wing media that that I think 2634 02:21:43.159 --> 02:21:46.680 this gets it right more than wrong. The silence on 2635 02:21:46.799 --> 02:21:51.040 our side sometimes when Trump does something like this is disappointing. 2636 02:21:51.840 --> 02:21:54.799 It's it's okay to call him out when he does 2637 02:21:54.920 --> 02:21:57.479 something wrong and to be as critical. Could you imagine 2638 02:21:57.520 --> 02:22:01.159 if Joe Biden did that, our side would be on fire. 2639 02:22:01.879 --> 02:22:04.959 And sometimes I think our side can be just as 2640 02:22:05.040 --> 02:22:08.559 slanted as the left whenever they refuse to call it 2641 02:22:08.639 --> 02:22:09.040 out for. 2642 02:22:09.120 --> 02:22:09.600 What it is. 2643 02:22:09.719 --> 02:22:13.239 But when a sitting president tells private businesses, you better 2644 02:22:13.360 --> 02:22:15.360 not raise your price based on this thing I did, 2645 02:22:15.760 --> 02:22:16.840 something's out of balance. 2646 02:22:17.159 --> 02:22:19.319 Yeah, it needs it needs to be addressed. 2647 02:22:19.479 --> 02:22:22.159 I certainly appreciate your point on that, and I guess 2648 02:22:22.200 --> 02:22:25.600 the only thing that I find it fault in that 2649 02:22:25.920 --> 02:22:28.280 is when you recognize forty to sixty percent of a 2650 02:22:28.360 --> 02:22:33.000 domestic produced automobile comes packed full is with four is 2651 02:22:33.040 --> 02:22:36.280 foreign parts, and if the manufacturer is going to have 2652 02:22:36.280 --> 02:22:39.280 to pay more for those parts to go into their 2653 02:22:39.319 --> 02:22:42.959 domestically manufactured cars. They're going to have to raise the 2654 02:22:43.040 --> 02:22:45.360 price if they're going to maintain some level of comparable 2655 02:22:45.440 --> 02:22:48.159 level of profitability. So him to tell him to do 2656 02:22:48.360 --> 02:22:51.680 that runs counter to the business reality that they're going 2657 02:22:51.760 --> 02:22:53.040 to be facing because they're going to have to pay 2658 02:22:53.040 --> 02:22:55.760 twenty let's say, twenty five percent more for wiring, harnesses 2659 02:22:55.959 --> 02:22:59.040 or whatever other foreign manufactured part that's going into the car. 2660 02:23:00.040 --> 02:23:03.239 And why just automakers, Why not air conditioner manufacturers? There 2661 02:23:03.239 --> 02:23:04.959 anybody else making anything out of the loan? 2662 02:23:05.040 --> 02:23:08.719 The luminum his steel, right, No, it's auto makers. 2663 02:23:08.760 --> 02:23:10.959 It said, don't you guys raise your prices, which, now 2664 02:23:11.000 --> 02:23:14.200 again we have government picking winners and losers, which I 2665 02:23:14.280 --> 02:23:15.440 thought we voted against. 2666 02:23:15.760 --> 02:23:18.719 Yeah, well, just because Donald Trump tells them he doesn't 2667 02:23:18.760 --> 02:23:20.719 want them to raise their prices doesn't mean that they 2668 02:23:20.799 --> 02:23:22.959 have to listen to him. It isn't a law or 2669 02:23:23.000 --> 02:23:25.120 an edict or regulation that's been passed. 2670 02:23:25.440 --> 02:23:27.079 But I fully I understand. 2671 02:23:27.319 --> 02:23:29.120 There's a lot of influence there coming out of the 2672 02:23:29.159 --> 02:23:30.000 Oval Office, though. 2673 02:23:30.719 --> 02:23:34.280 Yeah, yeah, well you know, and listen, autobile manufacturers and 2674 02:23:34.360 --> 02:23:36.920 their unions got him elected so I mean he does 2675 02:23:37.079 --> 02:23:39.680 owe them something right back again, and they may take 2676 02:23:39.719 --> 02:23:43.040 their ball with them the next election and you know, 2677 02:23:43.680 --> 02:23:45.559 go back to the Democrats. 2678 02:23:45.639 --> 02:23:47.520 So he work for them, not the. 2679 02:23:47.559 --> 02:23:49.479 Other way around. He needs to remember that he's not 2680 02:23:49.559 --> 02:23:50.479 the CEO anymore. 2681 02:23:50.520 --> 02:23:51.159 He works for them. 2682 02:23:51.360 --> 02:23:53.399 Yeah, I'm with you all day on that one. 2683 02:23:53.479 --> 02:23:53.639 Jay. 2684 02:23:53.719 --> 02:23:55.440 Good to hear from me, Man, Thanks for calling back. 2685 02:23:55.799 --> 02:23:57.639 I got one more segment coming up.

For the weather, 2688 02:24:03.479 --> 02:24:06.760 we have overcast guys today and fifty four be the high. 2689 02:24:07.200 --> 02:24:10.000 No rain, no rain every night either. Clouds decrease thirty 2690 02:24:10.040 --> 02:24:12.479 five for the low sunny day tomorrow with the high 2691 02:24:12.479 --> 02:24:15.159 of fifty six, few clouds every night forty six. And 2692 02:24:15.239 --> 02:24:17.799 Wednesday to morrow we after seventy seven degrees. It'll be 2693 02:24:17.840 --> 02:24:20.760 windy though, so no rain fifty Right now, it's time 2694 02:24:20.799 --> 02:24:24.120 for final traffics from the UCLP Traffic Center. Don't let 2695 02:24:24.200 --> 02:24:25.399 injuries slow you down. 2696 02:24:25.479 --> 02:24:26.319 The UC Health. 2697 02:24:26.280 --> 02:24:30.000 Orthopedic sandsports medicine experts can help keep you moving. Schedule 2698 02:24:30.079 --> 02:24:33.120 U same day appointment at uc health dot com. They're 2699 02:24:33.159 --> 02:24:36.639 diverting traffic eastbound one twenty nine off at Cincinnati Dayton 2700 02:24:36.760 --> 02:24:39.280 Road thanks to a wreck before you got the seventy 2701 02:24:39.360 --> 02:24:44.360 five southbound seventy five breakwads continue through walkmunt northbound slows 2702 02:24:44.440 --> 02:24:48.079 between Donaldson and Downtown, then again between Mitchell and Town Street. 2703 02:24:48.440 --> 02:24:51.239 Shot ingram Mon fifty five K scene the talk station 2704 02:24:52.760 --> 02:24:55.639 Hey forty nine about cair Ce talk station Happy Monday 2705 02:24:55.920 --> 02:24:58.600 Tomorrow inside scoop at break bart noon, the Daniel Davis 2706 02:24:58.680 --> 02:25:01.840 deep dive talking about tariffs, and you go back to 2707 02:25:02.879 --> 02:25:05.280 Ontario Premier Doug Ford Rember he threatened twenty five percent 2708 02:25:05.319 --> 02:25:08.440 retaliation of American energy exports because we import a lot 2709 02:25:08.479 --> 02:25:10.360 of energy from Canada. And there's a great op ed 2710 02:25:10.440 --> 02:25:13.120 by a guy named Mark Osterich, and I just read 2711 02:25:13.159 --> 02:25:14.879 a couple segments of it to give you an indication 2712 02:25:14.920 --> 02:25:18.559 of how stupid and insane all of this is. He's 2713 02:25:18.600 --> 02:25:20.760 a founding part of a nonprofit consulting from Crane and 2714 02:25:20.760 --> 02:25:24.440 Gray and an editor of the daily energy newsletter Grid Brief. Anyway, 2715 02:25:24.440 --> 02:25:27.680 he points out in twenty twenty forty US imported twenty 2716 02:25:27.840 --> 02:25:31.559 seven thousand, two hundred gigawatt hours of electricity from Canada, 2717 02:25:31.559 --> 02:25:33.319 which is enough to cover twenty percent of New York 2718 02:25:33.360 --> 02:25:37.399 supplier fifteen percent of New England's total winter load because 2719 02:25:37.440 --> 02:25:39.719 we made building new power plants here nearly impossible and 2720 02:25:39.799 --> 02:25:43.239 incentivized imported power through regulatory loopholes that allow us to 2721 02:25:43.360 --> 02:25:48.040 ignore any emissions that happened outside the US. They don't 2722 02:25:48.079 --> 02:25:53.520 count export emissions import virtue. Meanwhile, domestic energy projects in 2723 02:25:53.559 --> 02:25:56.840 the Northeast stalls butter or collapse. We're sitting on four 2724 02:25:56.920 --> 02:25:59.680 hundred and sixty nine billion tons of coal, two point 2725 02:25:59.760 --> 02:26:03.559 nine trillion cubic feet of gas, and centuries of nuclear fuel. 2726 02:26:04.600 --> 02:26:06.520 But in the US, building power plants now requires a 2727 02:26:06.600 --> 02:26:09.399 legal team. In decades of hearings, we've turned power generation 2728 02:26:09.440 --> 02:26:12.840 into a theater of guilt. We're producing energy in the 2729 02:26:12.959 --> 02:26:15.840 United States is too sinful to permit, but importing it 2730 02:26:15.920 --> 02:26:19.440 from somewhere else lets us feel purer. It's not policy, 2731 02:26:19.879 --> 02:26:24.479 it's penance. In twenty one, New York shut down the 2732 02:26:24.600 --> 02:26:28.280 Indian Point Nuclear Plant, one of its last sources of 2733 02:26:28.479 --> 02:26:31.879 zero emissions base load power. Same year, the state began 2734 02:26:32.040 --> 02:26:34.760 ramping up electricity imports from Canada to fill the gap 2735 02:26:35.000 --> 02:26:39.799 seven thousand, six hundred gigawatt hours. Specifically, hydro electric power 2736 02:26:39.840 --> 02:26:43.479 couldn't alone handle the demand, so Ontario's gas plants fired 2737 02:26:43.559 --> 02:26:46.959 up to meet the demand, releasing an estimated one million 2738 02:26:47.040 --> 02:26:50.639 tons of carbon dioxide, which is plant food. Because as 2739 02:26:50.680 --> 02:26:54.360 emission occurred outside of the northern border, New York claimed 2740 02:26:54.399 --> 02:26:58.159 to drop in its own energy sector emissions, and that's 2741 02:26:58.200 --> 02:27:02.680 the game. When Canada's hydro facilities Canada Gas hydro faulters. 2742 02:27:02.760 --> 02:27:06.959 Canada Gas steps in, but the emissions vanish on US 2743 02:27:07.120 --> 02:27:11.799 climate ledgers. Vermont, importing over eighty percent of its electricity, 2744 02:27:11.879 --> 02:27:14.879 Massachusetts and much of the rest of New England operate 2745 02:27:14.959 --> 02:27:17.719 from the same playbook. The great operators they belong to 2746 02:27:17.959 --> 02:27:21.120 imports around fifteen percent of its winter peak from Canada. 2747 02:27:21.760 --> 02:27:25.520 When hydro output dropped eighteen percent due to drought, gas 2748 02:27:25.600 --> 02:27:28.920 peaker plants and fossil fuels save the day. In twenty 2749 02:27:28.959 --> 02:27:32.120 twenty three, alone, utilities in Quebec, Ontario New Brunswick generated 2750 02:27:32.159 --> 02:27:35.520 an estimated thirteen point four million metric tons of carbon 2751 02:27:35.600 --> 02:27:39.680 dioxide planted, none of which appear on the emissions ledgers 2752 02:27:39.719 --> 02:27:43.879 of states Massachusetts and Vermont, despite their heavy reliance on 2753 02:27:43.959 --> 02:27:47.319 imported power from those provinces. Meanwhile, the twelve hundred megawat 2754 02:27:47.440 --> 02:27:52.079 Commonwealth wind project was canceled outright after the developer paid 2755 02:27:52.120 --> 02:27:54.680 a fifty million dollars penalty to walk away due to 2756 02:27:54.920 --> 02:27:58.479 well the financial infeasibility and permitting delays. This is not 2757 02:27:58.639 --> 02:28:03.159 a glitch in the system. It is the system. I 2758 02:28:03.280 --> 02:28:07.159 love this. A nineteen ninety nine rule made up and 2759 02:28:07.280 --> 02:28:10.040 pulls out of someone's finer by the Environmental Protection Agency 2760 02:28:10.079 --> 02:28:14.479 allows state to treat imported electricity as emissions free, regardless 2761 02:28:14.559 --> 02:28:17.719 of how it's generated. It's a convenient accounting trick that 2762 02:28:17.840 --> 02:28:21.879 lets politicians hit climate targets without reducing actual emissions. The 2763 02:28:21.959 --> 02:28:25.879 same time. Domestic energy projects face a labyrinth of legal, regulatory, 2764 02:28:25.920 --> 02:28:29.040 and activist roadblocks thanks to laws like Title VIV of 2765 02:28:29.120 --> 02:28:32.559 the Clean Air Act and permitting system, and a permitting 2766 02:28:32.600 --> 02:28:36.079 system that treats any new infrastructure as a threat until 2767 02:28:36.200 --> 02:28:40.280 proven otherwise. We build a political culture that worships the 2768 02:28:40.520 --> 02:28:43.760 optics of clean energy while punishing the act of actually 2769 02:28:43.840 --> 02:28:47.479 producing it. Across the Northeast, domestic energy projects don't you 2770 02:28:47.520 --> 02:28:52.200 just struggle. They're buried Offshore wind collapses under lawsuits over 2771 02:28:52.319 --> 02:28:56.280 fishing rights and ocean views. Small modular reactors gather dust 2772 02:28:56.360 --> 02:29:01.600 in regulatory limbo pipelines are killed over and wetlands nuclear 2773 02:29:01.680 --> 02:29:06.760 plants drowning litigation. In twenty sixteen, New York vetoed the 2774 02:29:06.879 --> 02:29:12.319 Constitution pipeline, leaving the Marcellus Shale untapped. Two years later, 2775 02:29:12.399 --> 02:29:16.520 during a brutal colt snap, Massachusetts imported liquefied natural gas 2776 02:29:17.440 --> 02:29:22.840 from Russia rather than lay pipe from Pennsylvania. A proposed 2777 02:29:22.920 --> 02:29:27.360 forty two megawat biomass plant in Springfield, Massachusetts, was blocked 2778 02:29:27.399 --> 02:29:30.559 on a technicality in twenty twenty one, after years of 2779 02:29:30.639 --> 02:29:36.479 permit delays and concerns over environmental justice. Clean local energy 2780 02:29:36.680 --> 02:29:41.959 was too controversial. Imported emission no comment. Altogether, the region 2781 02:29:41.959 --> 02:29:46.040 has canceled enough projects to generate forty two thousand gigawat 2782 02:29:46.120 --> 02:29:49.159 hours annually, more than fifty percent above the power that 2783 02:29:49.239 --> 02:29:52.399 we imported from Canada in twenty twenty four. We're not 2784 02:29:52.559 --> 02:29:58.079 out of energy. We've just outlawed reality. We pretend it's progress, 2785 02:29:58.200 --> 02:30:01.920 We pretend the air is cleaner. We pretend that exporting 2786 02:30:02.000 --> 02:30:08.719 emissions is environmentalism. It's not. It's theater for climate lobbies, campaigns, soundbites, 2787 02:30:08.760 --> 02:30:12.799 and activists who measure success in press releases, not power output, 2788 02:30:13.840 --> 02:30:18.040 the emissions remain, only the guilt is outsourced. So No, 2789 02:30:18.479 --> 02:30:22.040 Ford's teriff threat isn't the story. It's just a headline. 2790 02:30:22.120 --> 02:30:25.000 The real story is what made that threat possible. Our 2791 02:30:25.040 --> 02:30:29.079 addiction to imported virtue, our refusal to build in a 2792 02:30:29.200 --> 02:30:33.120 regulatory culture that punishes the very act of producing energy. 2793 02:30:33.639 --> 02:30:37.200 We're not short on power, which is too sanctimonious to 2794 02:30:37.319 --> 02:30:44.479 generate it amen exclamation point. And that's just Canada generating 2795 02:30:44.559 --> 02:30:48.799 power view with their gas plants. Meanwhile, China and their 2796 02:30:48.879 --> 02:30:52.120 coal plants providing us with all the parts and component 2797 02:30:52.200 --> 02:30:55.200 parts that go into domestic automobiles as well as electric vehicles, 2798 02:30:55.239 --> 02:30:57.559 which the climate left would love you to drive, unless, 2799 02:30:57.600 --> 02:31:00.239 of course, it's a tessela, in which case you're an EZ. 2800 02:31:01.159 --> 02:31:03.520 Does this all makeing sense to you? No, it doesn't. 2801 02:31:04.200 --> 02:31:06.559 Eight fifty five fifty five cars the talk station Christopher 2802 02:31:06.559 --> 02:31:08.840 Smith and Smith havent right there on the podcast page 2803 02:31:08.879 --> 02:31:12.440 fifty five kre se dot com.
