Speaker 1: Five o five. I think you've got k r C
Speaker 1: the talk station happen Monday. Will vation no idea what's falling? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know it's kind of what this protesters at the
Speaker 1: Tesla dealership sort of conveyed by way of motivation for
Speaker 1: why they were there. I have no idea. So many
Speaker 1: videos that people and you know, ask them a question, well,
Speaker 1: what do you protest them? What do you protests? They
Speaker 1: never ever go to anything specific. They're just like must
Speaker 1: bad man bad Anyhow, we'll have plenty of talk about
Speaker 1: on that one this morning. Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas inviting phone calls as I always do. If
Speaker 1: I went three seven four, nine hundred eight two to three,
Speaker 1: talk go with Tom five to fifty. If you have
Speaker 1: an AT and T found Christopher Smithman coming up at
Speaker 1: seven twenty. Same as the always. They're same as always
Speaker 1: as the case on a Monday, former Vice Mayor of
Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati with a smith event. Monday Monday.
Speaker 1: Brian James returns eight oh five. Apparently people have the
Speaker 1: wit scared out of him, worried about a stock market crash.
Speaker 1: Fifty one percent fright of a crash Wow, just go
Speaker 1: back and look at history. After the stock market crash
Speaker 1: in the end of the twenties, Oh my god, big
Speaker 1: third of the people in the United States unemployed. Just terrible,
Speaker 1: terrible situation. So especially at a time when our fiat
Speaker 1: currency is teetering on the brink of self destruction or
Speaker 1: immolation or whatever. Yeah, the thirty six trillion dollars in
Speaker 1: growing debt, somebody's gonna have to do something about that.
Speaker 1: And a lot of the young people, really I think,
Speaker 1: coming around to the more conservative side of the Ledger
Speaker 1: for that reason alone. They look at it and they say,
Speaker 1: look what you guys did to us. Government is too
Speaker 1: damn big. It spends too much money, and it can
Speaker 1: live within its means, mean logic and reason. That is
Speaker 1: a reasonable logical thing to presume and assume and can conclude.
Speaker 1: So anyway, we'll find out about the stock market potential crash,
Speaker 1: how tariffs affect the car buying process, futures drop among
Speaker 1: tariff fears. And finally one more with Brian James. People
Speaker 1: are adding to their rainy day fund, which I suppose
Speaker 1: is a good thing to do. Empower you, Iram Melmann's
Speaker 1: going to empower you Summar we're talking about borders and immigration.
Speaker 1: That'll be at eight forty and reminder fifty five care
Speaker 1: Sea dot com. When you can't listen live, check out
Speaker 1: the podcast page get the information right there. They got
Speaker 1: the information about Honor Flight. Hope you made it to
Speaker 1: the fiftieth anniversary tribute to the Vietnam War veterans over
Speaker 1: the weekend. It was nice talking about that Heart for
Speaker 1: Seniors with the Cunningham sisters. Just a couple of lovely
Speaker 1: young ladies. Inspirational they are, and I hope you were
Speaker 1: a had an opportunity to give a few dollars to
Speaker 1: the Heart for Seniors group. What they're just trying to
Speaker 1: do is improve people's living conditions in long term care facilities.
Speaker 1: Got some horrific conditions with seniors laying in their own
Speaker 1: well filth, just impossible to stay up on top of it. Well,
Speaker 1: they've got a solution. It's the simple one. There's electronic
Speaker 1: device and it lets the people there know exactly when
Speaker 1: someone is in need of a change, which prevents all
Speaker 1: kinds of horrific conditions and just quality of life issues
Speaker 1: for those seniors. So it's a good organization to help
Speaker 1: out and they were so appreciative of my listeners for
Speaker 1: donating and contributing that they've been able to expand in
Speaker 1: multiple facilities and they're hoping to just really take this
Speaker 1: thing all over the state. And I wish them all
Speaker 1: the luck in the world with that. So and if
Speaker 1: you donate, the beautiful Cunningham sisters will come and sing
Speaker 1: for a senior in your world, maybe a healthcare professional
Speaker 1: in your world. And trust me, they are very, very
Speaker 1: talented singers. So if you don't believe me, just go
Speaker 1: to the podcast and listen to it, because they did
Speaker 1: a short number at the end of the end of
Speaker 1: the interview. Again I heard media app is right there
Speaker 1: for you when you head on over there. You can
Speaker 1: listen to the content wherever you happen to be really
Speaker 1: nice app So a couple of things here. One of
Speaker 1: hermind folks that we're gonna be at Barley Korn's Wilder,
Speaker 1: Kentucky location this Wednesday for listener lunch. And I say
Speaker 1: that with a certain degree of sadness. It's not because
Speaker 1: I don't want to go to Barley Corns. It's not
Speaker 1: because I don't like listening to lunch. But anybody who's
Speaker 1: been to listener Lunch, may recall, and she used to
Speaker 1: call into the morning show my blind friend Barbara Lisniewski,
Speaker 1: and I found out this morning Johnny Benstein who regularly
Speaker 1: went to listener to Lunch as well. Anyhow, she passed away.
Speaker 1: So apparently she was moved from her nursing home into
Speaker 1: the university hospital, apparently with a bowel instruction. Somehow that
Speaker 1: resulted in her death. So sad because we lost Johnny,
Speaker 1: and I guess his wife still operating his Facebook account.
Speaker 1: That's quite a few listeners over the years, isn't it, Joe,
Speaker 1: remember quite a few. It's always a really really sad thing.
Speaker 1: I remember Patty so well, and wasn't it the Chef?
Speaker 1: And that was Mark the chef? Joe and of course
Speaker 1: Bob from Oakley. So it's my nineteenth year in radio.
Speaker 1: Made a lot of friends and of course made a
Speaker 1: lot of friends at listening to Lunch and Barb love
Speaker 1: coming to listen to Lunch. And I was always impressed
Speaker 1: with Barb and her ability to get out and about.
Speaker 1: She would take that bus they have that that the
Speaker 1: bus that helps disable people get around. She'd arrange for
Speaker 1: that show up on her own. Some game toward the
Speaker 1: end there she'd need some assistance, and of course some
Speaker 1: the van Stein's helped her get around. Other people would
Speaker 1: pick her up, but she just was always in such
Speaker 1: a bubbly happy mood at listener lunch. So I'm just
Speaker 1: just a little bit sad this morning, obviously to learn
Speaker 1: of her passing, and I knew her health was deteriorating,
Speaker 1: but to find out that she is gone kind of
Speaker 1: hitching that soft spot, if you know what I mean. Anyhow,
Speaker 1: and other rather tragic news. That Minimar earthquake was just insane.
Speaker 1: You know, with modern social media and everybody's got a
Speaker 1: cell phone, everbody's taking video, you really do get it.
Speaker 1: Just an amazing sort of firsthand like experience. These giant
Speaker 1: skyscrapers wobbling back and forth, the video of the buildings collapsing,
Speaker 1: it's just it what looks like a wasteland. Minimar's military
Speaker 1: hunter has said at least as of late yesterday, at
Speaker 1: least twenty twenty eight people have been confirmed at thirty
Speaker 1: four hundred plus injured. But it gets worse than that.
Speaker 1: They expected death counts to rise sharply because well, you've
Speaker 1: got basically what amounts to seventy two hours that you
Speaker 1: have to live if you are trapped in rubble. Of
Speaker 1: course you need water, you need food, and of course
Speaker 1: you probably need medical attention. So as the hours take
Speaker 1: away and they're trying to get through all that rubble
Speaker 1: with very little heavy equipment, they're expecting the death cult
Speaker 1: to actually jump to above ten thousand. Early modeling from
Speaker 1: the US Geological Survey suggests the number of earthquake deaths
Speaker 1: and minim our heart lends could rise above ten thousand,
Speaker 1: and that the economic losses might surpass the value of
Speaker 1: the country's gross domestic product. This is what you call
Speaker 1: a true Charlie foxtrot. So people are going through the rubble,
Speaker 1: they say, you know, they don't have any heavy equipment.
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, They've got flip flops on and light clothes.
Speaker 1: They don't have anything by way of protection, you know,
Speaker 1: breathing protection. Been reports of the stench of death now
Speaker 1: just everywhere in the air. Teams from Thailand, China, India,
Speaker 1: Russia and United Nations are there, but because of the
Speaker 1: damaged infrastructure and hubbled communications, it slow their arrival and
Speaker 1: of course it makes it difficult to coordinate actions and activities.
Speaker 1: AID workers in Mandalay said thousands of residents were sleeping
Speaker 1: out in the open, lacked everything from water to food
Speaker 1: and other essentials. The city has been without electricity since
Speaker 1: the earthquakes hit, which obviously again impacts communications and efforts
Speaker 1: to coordinate the relief efforts and the search efforts. Of
Speaker 1: the videos that first came out, it was the swimming
Speaker 1: pools on top of these high rises. And while the
Speaker 1: high rises themselves in clouds, obviously a lot of damage
Speaker 1: done to them, but the slashing of the water was
Speaker 1: gushing over the side of these buildings, and I just wow,
Speaker 1: I just get a really unsettled feeling when I think
Speaker 1: I've been in the Sears Tower and you can actually
Speaker 1: feel that building move in high winds, and that just
Speaker 1: freaks the hell of me. You know, you wonder how
Speaker 1: well it is designed. But when he hit a seven
Speaker 1: point seven magnitude quake and you see those buildings moving,
Speaker 1: you know, literally feet swaying back and forth, and again
Speaker 1: many of them just collapsing down on top of it,
Speaker 1: killing lots of people. That just freaks me out just
Speaker 1: thinking about it. So Tremer is apparently so forceful that
Speaker 1: they were felt more than six hundred miles away in
Speaker 1: the tie capital of Bangkok, where a thirty story office
Speaker 1: tower that was still under construction. It collapsed while dozens
Speaker 1: of workers were inside, they said. Local media said seventeen
Speaker 1: people were confirmed dead in Bangkok, most of them pulled
Speaker 1: from the wreckage of that collapsed high rise, and they
Speaker 1: were still searching for around eighty mission construction workers so
Speaker 1: far and why the damage was in that one so anyhow, prayers.
Speaker 1: I can only imagine that, like Matthew twenty five is
Speaker 1: going to maybe organize some relief efforts. It's my favorite
Speaker 1: go to charity if you want to help make sure
Speaker 1: that money actually gets in the hands or the food
Speaker 1: that donated to the supply. There's no overhead. If you
Speaker 1: give a buck, a buck ends up where you want
Speaker 1: it to go. Matthew twenty five, M two five. I
Speaker 1: think it's M twenty five m dot org online, but
Speaker 1: I can see M twenty five m dot or. I
Speaker 1: want to make sure that's the right. One silence is deafening, yeah,
Speaker 1: M twenty five, m dot org. So they're still doing
Speaker 1: real efforts for the tornado, and I don't know if
Speaker 1: they're going to be They usually do so I'm just
Speaker 1: throwing it out there and if there's a way you
Speaker 1: can help out. I don't know how the money ends
Speaker 1: up getting all the way to Minimar, and of course
Speaker 1: they've been in a state of absolute political disarray because
Speaker 1: of that Junta. Twenty twenty one is when that happens.
Speaker 1: So anyway, tragedy absolutely so thank God for the moment
Speaker 1: you have them. Spend them with your loved ones. Appreciate
Speaker 1: those moments in time, because well, bad things can happen
Speaker 1: on a moment's notice. It's bout fifteen right now at
Speaker 1: five KRCD talk station. Feel free to coll ive. Got
Speaker 1: something you want to talk about? JFK coming for your
Speaker 1: soft drinks. Got some people angry? I think it's a
Speaker 1: great idea. Anyway, there's a whole lot going on this morning.
Speaker 1: I hope you can stick around of it.
Speaker 2: Right back fifty five KRC Prohibition.
Speaker 3: It's someone marked down on your calendar.
Speaker 1: Next Tuesday, price sal chili be getting at five pm,
Speaker 1: last up until seven pm at the Corey Bowman Early
Speaker 1: Voting kickoff party. West Side. Jim Keefer asked that I
Speaker 1: remind folks about that, So there you go, west Side.
Speaker 1: Jim Keefer happy to do that. I'll try to make
Speaker 1: a shout out throughout the morning. Put it on your
Speaker 1: calendar again next Tuesday, and I'll here and I think
Speaker 1: about that Vietnam Memorial fiftieth anniversary over the weekend. Eric
Speaker 1: Mark on my friend reaching out to everyone in the
Speaker 1: greater Cincinnati area. Eric, I appreciate you posting this. He
Speaker 1: was doing the laundry at the Spotless car Washing laundry
Speaker 1: manager came in for his daily clean up. He said, well,
Speaker 1: while we were talking, he pointed out this shadow box
Speaker 1: that was sitting on top of one of the fixtures
Speaker 1: in the laundromat, and I noticed it before but hadn't
Speaker 1: registered with me. He mentioned that it was tossed into
Speaker 1: one of the trash cans next to one of the
Speaker 1: vehicle base. He said, I'm not sure why anyone would
Speaker 1: throw out one of these out, but if it was
Speaker 1: a mistake, he wants to get it back in the
Speaker 1: hands of those who might care. Wasn't able to find
Speaker 1: this Vietnam veteran, but if you know a veteran named
Speaker 1: John O. Moser passed away in twenty seventeen. He born
Speaker 1: in nineteen forty passed away in twenty seventeen, obviously served
Speaker 1: his country. There's the military flag box, shadow box with
Speaker 1: the flag in it. It's at that laundry in Addison.
Speaker 1: So John O. Moser. Moser passed in twenty seventeen. That's
Speaker 1: a shame that that thing got thrown away. Anyhow, moving
Speaker 1: away from that, got a kick out of this. Robert F.
Speaker 1: Kennedy Junior Make America Healthy Again campaigns over West Virginia.
Speaker 1: There with Republican Governor Patrick Morrissey, who he told he
Speaker 1: was going to put on a carnivore diet to make
Speaker 1: him lose thirty pounds and he could use it, but anyway.
Speaker 1: For his part, the Republican governor said he was going
Speaker 1: to seek permission from the Department of Agriculture to put
Speaker 1: soda on the list of items that you can't buy
Speaker 1: with the SNAP program. He said taxpayer dollars should be
Speaker 1: targeted toward nutritious food. Of course, Kennedy agree with them wholeheartedly.
Speaker 1: There's one thing we can all agree on. It should
Speaker 1: be eliminating taxpayer funded soda subsidies for lower income kids.
Speaker 1: I look forward to inviting every governor who submits a
Speaker 1: waiver to come to celebrate with me. At the White
Speaker 1: House this fall. Huh, Now, why would you be against
Speaker 1: that those things are chock full of tons of sugar?
Speaker 1: Look at your labels and then just they tell you
Speaker 1: what for every teaspoon that's in there, go ahead and
Speaker 1: put it into a little bowl, and it can be
Speaker 1: mind blowing how much sugar is in there. Cause of diabetes,
Speaker 1: it contributes to obesity. Of course, it's just a terrible
Speaker 1: em there's no good nutrition in there. Valerie in Bruce,
Speaker 1: director of the Center for Environmental and Society at Washington
Speaker 1: College or environment in Society, disagrees with this. Controlling how
Speaker 1: the poor eat is a paternalistic response to a problem
Speaker 1: that is not based on snap recipients inability to make
Speaker 1: good decisions about healthy food. It's a problem of the
Speaker 1: price differential in choosing healthy or junk foods. Soda and
Speaker 1: candy are much cheaper and more calorie dense than one
Speaker 1: hundred percent fruit juices or prebiotic, non artificially sweetened carbonated beverages.
Speaker 1: And here's an interesting fun fact. She threw it at
Speaker 1: the tail end of this argument. Thanks to price supports
Speaker 1: and subsidies by the federal government to support a US
Speaker 1: sugar industry. Well, you know what they shouldn't be subsidized
Speaker 1: in the US sugar industry, the subsidies corn subsidies. Generally speaking,
Speaker 1: I don't think we should be forced to burn corn
Speaker 1: in our gas tanks, and yet there's a subsidy for
Speaker 1: that too, So let's just stop that. No, we're tariff
Speaker 1: and everything else. Why not just get rid of the
Speaker 1: subsidies for sugar. Maybe we'd use less of it, but
Speaker 1: you know, you can drink water right there, it is
Speaker 1: the tap. And then we turn over to Meredith Potter,
Speaker 1: Senior vice president the American Beverage Association. Now where do
Speaker 1: you think they come down on this one? The industry's
Speaker 1: leading lobby group quote, what's unhelpful about this whole conversation
Speaker 1: is that soda is not driving obesity. We become this
Speaker 1: easy punching bag. Well, for the reasons I just pointed out.
Speaker 1: You're an easy punching bag because of zero nutritional value.
Speaker 1: It's packed full of tons of calories and sugar, which
Speaker 1: is bad for you. Cancer loves sugar too. By the way,
Speaker 1: I know I've made that point many times, but I
Speaker 1: do the research for yourself. You don't have to trust me.
Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor. I don't play one on radio.
Speaker 1: Maybe it isn't driving obesie. It's a variety of factors
Speaker 1: and conditions driving obesie. But it is a contributing factor.
Speaker 1: If you're drinking twelve Mountain dews a day, that's going
Speaker 1: to cause you some health problems. Seth Defestano of the
Speaker 1: leftist West Virginia Center on Budget and Policies that a
Speaker 1: ban on Snap paying for soda could force shoppers out
Speaker 1: of the state and lead to store closures. Are you
Speaker 1: telling me the vast majority of profit margins and grocery
Speaker 1: stores is driven by soft drink purchases, soda purchases, And
Speaker 1: if so, we need to have a come to Jesus meeting,
Speaker 1: a wake up that perhaps we're all drinking too much
Speaker 1: damn soda. Apparently, as of right now, one of the
Speaker 1: senior White House advisers said about fifteen or governors are
Speaker 1: currently talking with RFK Junior about removing Sonda soda from
Speaker 1: the Snap benefits CALLI means that advisor, we're not seeing
Speaker 1: anyone can't drink coke. We're saying no government subsidies for coke. Right,
Speaker 1: I listen, if you take money from the federal government.
Speaker 1: In regardless of which form, it always comes with strings attached. Held.
Speaker 1: The drinking age here in Ohio would still be nineteen
Speaker 1: for beer if the federal government didn't put twenty one
Speaker 1: age drinking on the federal funds. Change your drinking laws,
Speaker 1: or you can't have money. This is what happens all
Speaker 1: the time. Donald Trump is using the federal funding leverage
Speaker 1: to change policies and states all over this country on
Speaker 1: the heels of Joe Biden doing the same damn thing. Sadly,
Speaker 1: it's how the government works. That's why I always upset.
Speaker 1: If they take the money from your pocket and it
Speaker 1: goes to DC, you're never gonna see it back unless
Speaker 1: it comes with a whole bunch of strings attached. Set
Speaker 1: five twenty six. If you five care, see the talk
Speaker 1: station got local stories coming up. Railroad money. Who's going
Speaker 1: to be paying that six hundred million dollars as a
Speaker 1: litigation started a day over that one, that Norfolk SA derailment.
Speaker 1: I'll be right back after these brief words.
Speaker 4: This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 1: It is five point thirty Happy Monday. Figures five one, three, seven, nine,
Speaker 1: fifty five eight hundred two three Taco with town five
Speaker 1: fifty on at and T found Norfolk Southern suing another
Speaker 1: couple of companies to see if they can get them
Speaker 1: to pay for the six hundred million dollar class action settlement,
Speaker 1: at least pay for part of it. Remember the train
Speaker 1: d railment from back in two thousand and three, who
Speaker 1: could for twenty twenty three? Who could forget it? Apparently,
Speaker 1: starting trial today they want to force the railcar owner
Speaker 1: GATX and the manufacturer oxy vinyls which was the chemical
Speaker 1: that was released or they manufactured the chemical that was
Speaker 1: released and poluded the entire town lossuit won't change anything
Speaker 1: about how much the money the residents received. This is
Speaker 1: just who's going to pay pay what portion of the
Speaker 1: share of the six hundred million dollar class action settlement.
Speaker 1: So they've been down this road before. They already lost
Speaker 1: a similar lawsuit when they tried to force GATX and
Speaker 1: oxy Vina to help pay for the iron mental cleanup,
Speaker 1: which apparently cost Norfolks so other than one billion dollars.
Speaker 1: So they're trying to make the same argument that they
Speaker 1: need help paying for this class action lawsuit. Accord to
Speaker 1: the statement from the Railroad, Norfolk Southern alone has paid
Speaker 1: the cost related to the derailment, despite ample evidence that
Speaker 1: other parties share the responsibility. The trials about reinforcing the
Speaker 1: role shippers and railcar owners play in transportation safety and
Speaker 1: ensuring everyone responsible pays their fast share. They claimed GATX
Speaker 1: is responsible for the derailment because of the railcar that
Speaker 1: was filled with plastic pellets that caused the derailment when
Speaker 1: it's bearing overheated. Norfolk Southern also says oxy Vinyl should
Speaker 1: pay because the railroad said the chemical manufacturer provided inconsistent
Speaker 1: and inaccurate information about the vinyl chloride before the officials
Speaker 1: decided to release and burn it, which turned out to
Speaker 1: be the really stupid thing to do. Both GATX and
Speaker 1: oxy Vinyl said it will be ridiculous to hold them
Speaker 1: responsible because Norfolk Southern operated and inspected the train and
Speaker 1: all the cars and was responsible for delivering everything safely.
Speaker 1: GATX said it comply with all relevant regulations for taking
Speaker 1: care of its railcars. They said, even if the car
Speaker 1: was damaged six years earlier by sitting in a middle
Speaker 1: of floodwaters from Hurricane Harvey, the railroad should have spotted
Speaker 1: the problem and repaired it. NTSB said the crash was
Speaker 1: caused by the failure that overheating bearing on gatx's railcar.
Speaker 1: Censor spotted the bearings starting to heat up miles before
Speaker 1: the derailment, but it didn't reach a critical temperature and
Speaker 1: trigger an alarm until just before the car derailed, little
Speaker 1: time to stop the train. Then, Norfolk Southern is the
Speaker 1: one that recommended the event and burn operation to let
Speaker 1: the vinyl chloride be released into the air and pollute
Speaker 1: the entire environment, based partly on information about the chemical
Speaker 1: that oxy vinyls had published beforehand, suggesting a chemical reaction
Speaker 1: could happen and cause the tank to explode. However, the
Speaker 1: NTSB confirmed in and it's investigation that was unnecessary to
Speaker 1: release all that crap into the air because the tanks
Speaker 1: were starting to cool off, and the railroad failed to
Speaker 1: listen to the advice from oxy vinals experts or share
Speaker 1: their opinions with the officials who made the decision, which
Speaker 1: is probably why they ended up settling the class action
Speaker 1: lawsuit over to Kentucky. Last Thursday, Kentucky lawmakers overrode Governor
Speaker 1: Andy Basher's veto of House Bill four ninety five. The
Speaker 1: bill removes Medicaid coverage of gender affirming care, and the
Speaker 1: gates the governor's prior executive order to ban conversion therapy.
Speaker 1: There you go, see, well, congratulations on rover ride. The
Speaker 1: Veto Immigration Customs Enforcement agents arrested two people working at
Speaker 1: a construction side of the Butler County jail this week,
Speaker 1: according to the sheriff's announcement. Butler County Scheff Richard Jones
Speaker 1: said via social media the two subcontractors were arrested by
Speaker 1: ICE officials. Workers arrested after deputies reviewed their identification cards,
Speaker 1: which included driver's license asport social Security guard, before they
Speaker 1: entered the jailer's construction site. Sheriff Jones said that because
Speaker 1: the work site is a secure jail area, everyone who
Speaker 1: enters much show proper id corn to the press release,
Speaker 1: upon further review of the documents, it was determined that
Speaker 1: the two workers were in fact illegal aliens. An ICE
Speaker 1: age and conducted the interviews with the two individuals, who
Speaker 1: admitted that they were in the United States illegally. Construction
Speaker 1: company that hired the two subcontractors believe their documents were authentic.
Speaker 1: According to Sheriff Jones, he is warning employers to be cautious.
Speaker 1: All right, let's see here one more. In response to
Speaker 1: dun High School closing before the end of the semester,
Speaker 1: since I Public School said it's holding a special enrollment
Speaker 1: hours for students affected, they abruptly announced their closure on Friday,
Speaker 1: with the final day of operation March thirty. First today
Speaker 1: comes out. They previously said they would close in June
Speaker 1: because of financial troubles. Cour to CPS Superintendent Seanna Murphy,
Speaker 1: since the public schools is an open enrollment district and
Speaker 1: it's just so happens, open enrollment is the month of April,
Speaker 1: so starting on Monday, they would have been able to
Speaker 1: start here with us, even if they are outside our
Speaker 1: city limits. Done apparently had programs for adult learners and
Speaker 1: career and technical education students. CPS Superintendent Murphy said since
Speaker 1: at Public Schools offers similar programs with flexible schedules and
Speaker 1: virtual learning, so we're here for our kids. The driver
Speaker 1: for me today is there are young people six hundred
Speaker 1: plus who don't know what their options are, and we
Speaker 1: want to provide clarity about those options. Five point thirty

Speaker 7: forty one fifty five kr CED talk station. It's that
Speaker 7: time stack a stupid Portland orgon.
Speaker 1: Got a guy who living in Portland, Oregon neighborhood wondering
Speaker 1: who is putting gallons that's plural of urine into his
Speaker 1: recycling bin and why that person is doing it. There's
Speaker 1: no flag for us. Alex van Dune said the problem
Speaker 1: started in the September when he noticed his recycling bin
Speaker 1: had not been collected. So I went to open the
Speaker 1: blue bin and lo and behold there was a nice
Speaker 1: deposit of gallon sized bottles of urine, to put it plainly,
Speaker 1: and there were six of them. Recycling horror wouldn't take
Speaker 1: the bin's context because it's a biohazard had been placed
Speaker 1: in the garbage bin it probably would have been collected. Apparently,
Speaker 1: the mystery man didn't stop and kept dropping off bottles
Speaker 1: of urine in the bin. Eventually Van don stopped putting
Speaker 1: his bins out of the curveball together, hoping the man
Speaker 1: would quit, and he did. Buddy moved on to using
Speaker 1: a neighbor's garbage bin instead. Van Dune said, I don't
Speaker 1: know why he's hitting the same location so many times.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense to me and why he's doing it.
Speaker 1: He has captured surveillance video of the man showing up
Speaker 1: to his house, getting out of his car, placing the
Speaker 1: bottles of urine in the recycling bin. Unfortunately, the videos
Speaker 1: are too grainy to tell who the guy is. He's
Speaker 1: also shared his ordeal on the next door app where
Speaker 1: neighbors have flooded the post with theories as to the
Speaker 1: reason behind it all, multiple theories floating around. Van Dunn,
Speaker 1: for his part, doesn't have any ideas filed a police report,
Speaker 1: is trying to get the man's license plate.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: He says he has a message for the mystery man
Speaker 1: and maybe he's watching. I don't know. Please stop, Please
Speaker 1: just don't do it anymore. He pled he did joke.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of pea. I mean, this guy's really
Speaker 1: pissing me off, but I'm Bob. Man and a woman
Speaker 1: ran a foul of the law when they were caught

Speaker 1: which belonged to the woman identified as forty six year
Speaker 1: old Stephanie Wegman of Webster. Purse contained two bottles, one
Speaker 1: with thirteen alprazolam pills, the other with twenty traditions twenty

Speaker 1: We'll get to some of these protests over the next hour.
Speaker 1: He's everything else in the mind that was sort of
Speaker 1: coming unglued as a society. Anyhow, over back to the
Speaker 1: stack of STUVID, we got a Northern Kentucky defense attorney,
Speaker 1: Chase Cox, sentenced last year for breaking into his ex
Speaker 1: girlfriend apartment, pleaded with a judge presiding of his case
Speaker 1: not to send him to jail. Cox told Campbell County
Speaker 1: Circuit Court Judge Julie Reinhardt Ward at the time, I
Speaker 1: will show you that I can be successful in the community,
Speaker 1: because I know I can. Eight days after Cox was
Speaker 1: released from jail last August with his six months sentence
Speaker 1: suspended in favor of probation, his ex girlfriend reported that
Speaker 1: her vehicle was vandalized while it was parked in the
Speaker 1: garage for apartment complex.
Speaker 8: YEP.
Speaker 1: After months long investigation by the Newport Police Department. Cox
Speaker 1: indicted in December on charges related to the vandalism, including
Speaker 1: complicity to criminal mischief and retaliating against a participant in
Speaker 1: illegal process. Idiot's doing. Idiot because it is most assuredly,
Speaker 1: prosecutors now say, with the Kentucky Attorney General's officers seeking
Speaker 1: to revoke the thirty one year old Cox's probation and
Speaker 1: send him back to jail. It was the morning of August.
Speaker 1: Morning of August twenty third, last Cox's ex our friend
Speaker 1: went to the parking guys to get inside the car.
Speaker 1: She noticed a racial slur and another profanity scratched into
Speaker 1: the paint job, and both front tires popped and deflated.
Speaker 1: Woman testified against Cox in her trial last year, leading
Speaker 1: to his conviction on misdemeanor criminal trespass and criminal mischief charges,
Speaker 1: and she told police that Cox was likely behind the damage.
Speaker 1: Said she saw a friend of Cox's, thirty eight year
Speaker 1: old Joshua Baker, entered the apartment complex shortly after she
Speaker 1: arrived home, but didn't approach him. Investigators say Baker entered
Speaker 1: the building using access code belonging to another of Cox's
Speaker 1: friends who lives there. Surveillance video they got that showed
Speaker 1: Baker was in the apartment complex about ten minutes before
Speaker 1: he went through the side door and driving away toward
Speaker 1: Cox's home. When identified Baker in a photo lineup, told
Speaker 1: police he'd previously seen him at Cox's apartment. Cox had
Speaker 1: referred Baker to as his felon friend. Baker, likewise says
Speaker 1: criminal charges in connection with the vandalism. Baker has an
Speaker 1: extensive criminal history, according to court records, including prior convictions
Speaker 1: for drug trafficking, identity theft, and burglary. Also facing charges
Speaker 1: he is in Kenton County Circuit cor Court related to
Speaker 1: a home invasion and subsequent high speed chase in which
Speaker 1: he allegedly wedged himself underneath the Brent Spence Bridge. Police
Speaker 1: described it as an effort to escape custody. Now for
Speaker 1: his part of the attorney Cox represented Baker in a
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one identity theft case, and the attorney's father,
Speaker 1: Darryl Cox, currently representing Baker in an ongoing Kenton County case.
Speaker 1: Cox's ex girlfriend also told police Baker was a former
Speaker 1: client of his. They got a search warre for Cox's
Speaker 1: phone found that he was sent a photo of the
Speaker 1: woman's parking garl taken by the driver of a vehicle,
Speaker 1: maxing the description of the vehicle. Baker drove photos sent
Speaker 1: minutes before Baker was seen entering the building, and the
Speaker 1: pair also exchanged calls and text messages, with Baker towing
Speaker 1: Cox in a text to quote call in a sec
Speaker 1: get money ready. Cox was apparently on home incarceration with
Speaker 1: an ankle monitor when the incident occurred. Prosecutor say Cox
Speaker 1: commissioned Baker to vanalyze the woman's car in retaliation for
Speaker 1: her testimony in his earlier criminal trial.
Speaker 2: Are we not saying phrasing anymore?
Speaker 1: Apparently not tempted? Burglary thwarted at a Texas car dealership
Speaker 1: after a man called nine to one one to report
Speaker 1: that he'd been injured while breaking in. Tyler Police Department,
Speaker 1: said Jeremiah mcgallan after receiving a call from him, they
Speaker 1: had injured himself while trying to break into the Patterson
Speaker 1: Dodge dealership. Police say the call came around in a
Speaker 1: quarter to four in the morning from mcgallan, who claimed
Speaker 1: he had just broken into the dealership and needed help.
Speaker 1: Public information officer in the Airbas speaking with Fox News
Speaker 1: He said he had broken into the Peterson Dodge dealership
Speaker 1: and an attempted to steal a car, but was unable to
Speaker 1: get out of the building. He had cuts from breaking
Speaker 1: a window at the dealership and crawling through it.
Speaker 9: Are you stupid?
Speaker 1: Her ball said. Mcgallan said he was trying to steal
Speaker 1: a car by throwing a rock through the window to
Speaker 1: gain entry to the building, and that's when he cut himself.
Speaker 1: Said Unfortunately for him, there were several unlocked doors he
Speaker 1: could have used to get out. After twenty six years
Speaker 1: here the truth is stranger then fiction. Official from the
Speaker 1: dealership speaking with local news the only damage of the
Speaker 1: business was the window that he shattered when he threw
Speaker 1: the rock to get inside. The only thing he has
Speaker 1: managed to steal was candy from the desk of a salesperson.
Speaker 1: He was taken to the hospital, later transport transported to
Speaker 1: Smith County Jail, where he was arrested for burglary of
Speaker 1: a building.
Speaker 10: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.
Speaker 1: No, they didn't say what kind of candy he stole.
Speaker 1: Jail like guarantee it wasn't on our RFK Junior's list
Speaker 1: of approved food items. Coming up with five efty six
Speaker 1: eighty five KR see the dog station play to talk
Speaker 1: about coming up after the news. I sure hope he
Speaker 1: can stick around and be right back.
Speaker 2: Covering Trump's first one hundred days.
Speaker 10: Every day America's deadline is over.
Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC, the talk station best approaching six or
Speaker 1: six fifty five krc de talk station Happy Monday, try
Speaker 1: to make it so anyway, sticking around for a little
Speaker 1: more than an hour, you'll get to hear from the
Speaker 1: former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smithman,
Speaker 1: with what we call the smith Vent every Monday at
Speaker 1: seven twenty in the Return of Brian James. Monday Monday
Speaker 1: is Brian James, Paple are freaked out fifty one percent
Speaker 1: scared of a stock market crash. You think about the
Speaker 1: realities of what would happen in a literal crash like
Speaker 1: was in the late twenties. It's just it's frightening stuff.
Speaker 1: And I hope that Brian James offers us a little
Speaker 1: uh solace and comfort that no, don't be that wik dot,
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. Lord knows what's going to happen
Speaker 1: these days. How terrifts are affecting the car buying process.
Speaker 1: Topic number two. Topic number three futures drop among tariff fears.
Speaker 1: And finally, people are adding to their rainy day fund,
Speaker 1: which I think he'll probably say is a really good idea.
Speaker 1: Fast forward to eight forty, Ira Melman joins a program
Speaker 1: to talk about borders and immigration. That's the subject of
Speaker 1: an empower Use seminar that Ira is putting on. We'll
Speaker 1: get a little insight into what he'll talk about for
Speaker 1: the empower Use seminar. I remember empower You America dot Org.
Speaker 1: All kinds of great learning opportunities there and some really terrific,
Speaker 1: terrific classes. Phone over here if you like to call.
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear from you. Five one, three, seven,
Speaker 1: four nine to fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight to
Speaker 1: two three talk go town five fifty on AT and
Speaker 1: T phones. And as I mentioned earlier, we have a
Speaker 1: listener lunch going to bar Barley Corns Wilder Location, Wilder, Kentucky.
Speaker 1: And it is with great sadness I know many of
Speaker 1: my listeners who have been to listener to lunch. Remember
Speaker 1: blind Barbara are my blind friend Barbara Liznwski and I
Speaker 1: did mention this in the last hour, and I just
Speaker 1: learned this morning that she has passed away. So she
Speaker 1: was in a nursing home and had to be taking
Speaker 1: to University Hospital because of a bowel obstruction which ultimately
Speaker 1: led to her demise. So wonderful lady, truly inspirational and
Speaker 1: a woman of faith she was. She's sang in her
Speaker 1: church choir up till almost that the very end when
Speaker 1: her health deteriorated, but just loved coming to listener to
Speaker 1: lunch and she would call in from time to time
Speaker 1: as well. So it's sad when I look back and
Speaker 1: think of the listeners that we've lost over the years,
Speaker 1: and just using that as an excuse to remind folks
Speaker 1: spend time with your loved ones. You never know. World's
Speaker 1: an imperfect place, and it's a dangerous place too. Going
Speaker 1: back to my review of the facts in that Minimar earthquake,
Speaker 1: Lord Almighty, more than two thousand dead already, and they're
Speaker 1: fully expecting more than ten thousand people to perish as
Speaker 1: a consequence, and just slow going is hand picking through
Speaker 1: the rubble. They don't have electricity, they don't have resources,
Speaker 1: and the damages expected to be more than their entire
Speaker 1: gross national product. So not exactly a wealthy area, but boy,
Speaker 1: just toots and prayers. You know, the world's in a
Speaker 1: perfect place. And YouTube maybe kit with an earthquake or
Speaker 1: a tornado or wildfires. Anyway, let's see here. I guess
Speaker 1: I was looking at these Did you feel like you
Speaker 1: accomplished anything? These these Tesla protests? Did it make you
Speaker 1: feel better? So over the weekend you had this organized
Speaker 1: day of protests for against Tesla's, the Tesla Takedown protest.
Speaker 1: It was kind of a this a group called Action Network.
Speaker 1: They published an interactive map online sharing the protest times
Speaker 1: and locations, and another website. They proclaim Elon Musk is
Speaker 1: destroying our democracy and he's using the fortune he built
Speaker 1: at Tesla to do it. In what way is he
Speaker 1: destroying democracy? Lots of signs saying Elon Musk is a
Speaker 1: Nazi fascist. Elon Musk, I mean, if anything, he's the
Speaker 1: antithesis of that. Fascism is the control of the means
Speaker 1: of production. Right, you have a business, the government tells
Speaker 1: you how you have to run it. Yes, it's your
Speaker 1: private business, but you have really literally knows say over how.
Speaker 1: That's kind of the system of government we live in
Speaker 1: under democrats and all the rules and regulations they heap
Speaker 1: down upon us. And it's not just democrats, mind you.
Speaker 1: Elon Musk is the guy who's trying to pair that back,
Speaker 1: trying to get rid of some of the stupid things
Speaker 1: that we pay for and a lot of And I
Speaker 1: think this is driven in large part these leftist organizations.
Speaker 1: They are organizing the useful idiots of the world who
Speaker 1: apparently are easily duped by a meme online which merely
Speaker 1: proclaims Elon Musk is a Nazi fascist. Really, and that's
Speaker 1: enough to convince you to go stand outside of a
Speaker 1: Tesla dealership or otherwise commit acts of vandalism because someone
Speaker 1: said it, even though definitionally speaking, it's the most farthest
Speaker 1: thing from accuracy you could ever run across. And look
Speaker 1: at some of the videos when people get interviewed, they
Speaker 1: you know, why are you here, why are you protesting Tesla?
Speaker 1: I hey have fact is Well wait a second. I
Speaker 1: saw one woman was asked about that and they said,
Speaker 1: what evidence do you have that he's a bad guy. Well,
Speaker 1: it's on the line, just go google it. And so
Speaker 1: she was very the woman interviewer was very kindly. You
Speaker 1: know kind to her. She wasn't being you know, in
Speaker 1: her face or yelling at her, just simply asking in
Speaker 1: a very nice tone of voice. Well, no, you tell
Speaker 1: me why you have a problem with Elon Musk. I
Speaker 1: don't have to do that. You can look it up
Speaker 1: for yourself. Oh well that's persuasive, isn't it. You got
Speaker 1: a seven year old Christopher Talbot arrested after allegedly striking
Speaker 1: a counter demonstrator to Tesla takedown protests near a Tesla dealership.
Speaker 1: This is a Meridian, Britian Police Department. Talot hit a
Speaker 1: forty nine year old man after making an obscene gesture
Speaker 1: toward him. So violence, huh? You know, And as I
Speaker 1: look over all the reporting on this, you know, mostly
Speaker 1: peaceful protest. Do you remember hearing that, you know, the
Speaker 1: fires raging in the back at anti fire, Black Lives Matter,
Speaker 1: it's more largely peaceful protest. But you know there's acts
Speaker 1: of violence all across just because Tesla. That's why Elon Musk.
Speaker 1: That why, And you can't get your head around why
Speaker 1: they're there except that these left wing organizations are stirring
Speaker 1: the pot and telling you you need to be there
Speaker 1: because well I think it's because they're funding source is
Speaker 1: going to be dried up. If Elon Must continues to
Speaker 1: go after things like US eight and all the money
Speaker 1: that flows out of the United States government into the
Speaker 1: world and then back into the pockets of these left
Speaker 1: wing organizations, they may have a funding problem. And it's
Speaker 1: been widely reported that it's they're calling this astro turf
Speaker 1: that many of the people that show up at these
Speaker 1: protests are getting paid to do it. Surprising coordination of
Speaker 1: the quit time, it was reported in several of them.
Speaker 1: You know, they all got up and left right at noon.
Speaker 1: I guess that's when the clock was over. It was
Speaker 1: time to punch out. You need to be here between
Speaker 1: eight and noon and you'll get however much money? Is
Speaker 1: that a real grassroots protest? Is they are? They really
Speaker 1: genuinely there because their belief systems and because they think
Speaker 1: Elon's doing something bad. And we even moving away from
Speaker 1: the somewhat conspiratorial sounding thing that these left winging organizations
Speaker 1: are organizing this, you know what vest interest does someone
Speaker 1: have to stand outside and protest Tesla the automobile or
Speaker 1: even protest Elon Musk and his efforts to ferret out fraud, waste,
Speaker 1: and abuse. Does that person really think it's a good
Speaker 1: idea to have hundreds of thousands of people that reportedly
Speaker 1: are over the age of one hundred and twenty with
Speaker 1: active Social Security numbers on the Social Security ranks. Aren't
Speaker 1: you worried that social Security is going to collapse under
Speaker 1: its own weight because it is, And isn't that something
Speaker 1: that's done that has step at getting those rolls off
Speaker 1: or getting those ranks cleared up is something that will
Speaker 1: help preserve it to some degree. Anyway, if you leave
Speaker 1: them open and on there, someone might be able to
Speaker 1: use them and draw benefits from socials security. And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that that's happened widespread. They're still looking into it.
Speaker 1: But if you're really on the side of wanting to
Speaker 1: keep Social Security intact, then you've got to appreciate what
Speaker 1: Elon Musk has done. Do these people outside the Tesla
Speaker 1: dealerships and screaming to people that owning Tesla's do they
Speaker 1: think it's a great idea to spend twenty million dollars
Speaker 1: for same street in Iran or wherever that was, or
Speaker 1: all of the other crazy programs that USA funded. Do
Speaker 1: they have a vested interest in those programs. I find
Speaker 1: it impossibly that they do ask him about one specific program. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you're protesting about do you have any problem with
Speaker 1: him eradicating like pill in the blank, tester him on that.
Speaker 1: You know, go down the list of all the crazy
Speaker 1: stuff that we've learned because one man put pen to
Speaker 1: paper and got some group of people around him that
Speaker 1: are good at finding this kind of crap and tried
Speaker 1: to put an end to it. But overall, when you
Speaker 1: step back from all this, you see a lot of violence.
Speaker 1: And for years under the Biden administration, another the Obama administration,
Speaker 1: and you know, even all those squeaky wheels in the
Speaker 1: Trump administration during the first term, where were the big
Speaker 1: concerns expressed by our government entities, the Department of Justice
Speaker 1: and others. It was white right wing extremists. It was
Speaker 1: racist out in the world. They represented the biggest challenge
Speaker 1: and problem to American law enforcement. Meanwhile, all around him,
Speaker 1: it's all these left wing organizations are the ones that are
Speaker 1: committing act of violence and burning buildings down, the ones
Speaker 1: that are throwing paint over monuments, the ones that are
Speaker 1: throwing paint on artwork. Destructive. Yes, property damage, yes, sometimes violence.
Speaker 1: It's all coming from the left side of the ledger.
Speaker 1: And what are they offering you? You have more and
Speaker 1: more articles coming out about the Democrats just sort of
Speaker 1: beside themselves and disbelieve because they don't know where to go.
Speaker 1: They don't know what their brand is. The brand right
Speaker 1: now is just scream out loud, angry, loud noise, loud noise,
Speaker 1: loud noise, and then stick the word Trump or musk
Speaker 1: in there. And that's what you stand for right now,
Speaker 1: that's it or bizarre stuff that nobody in America wants.
Speaker 1: Men aren't women, Women aren't men. And that's a hill
Speaker 1: the left is gonna die on when poll after poll
Speaker 1: after poll after poll reflects that the American population is
Speaker 1: sane and follows medicine and science in the sense that
Speaker 1: you know it's a chromosomal difference. Are you packed with
Speaker 1: this type of gear or that type of gear? It
Speaker 1: seems to be determined above your gender, and just by
Speaker 1: denying it and saying to the other gender, we are
Speaker 1: not going to accept it and go along with you
Speaker 1: because we know that's not right. That's what the Democrat
Speaker 1: Party stands for. Not everybody in the Democrat Party believes
Speaker 1: that the polling reflects it. It's one little segment of
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party, but yet that segment has taken over completely.
Speaker 1: Colorado Senator Michael Bennett, He's Democratic Party brand, he called
Speaker 1: it problematic. It was I meet the press yesterday, really problematic.
Speaker 1: I guess for his actual words, I agree, the Democratic
Speaker 1: brand is really problematic. It's a brand that's associated with
Speaker 1: New York and California, is associated with the educated elite
Speaker 1: in this country and not anymore with the working people
Speaker 1: in this country. Betto was asked me to agree with
Speaker 1: California Governor Gavin Newsom's assertion the Democratic Party brand is
Speaker 1: toxic Newsom's word, which he said on Bill Maher's program
Speaker 1: on Friday. Bet It'd appear to concur with Newsom's conclusion,
Speaker 1: harshly criticizing the party for losing touch with everyday voters.
Speaker 1: The Democrats need to present a compelling vision for the
Speaker 1: future of the country, and the faire to do so
Speaker 1: was responsible for President Donald Trump's now too non executive
Speaker 1: wins quote. The Democratic Party has lost touch with working
Speaker 1: people in our country at a time when fifty years
Speaker 1: of trickle down economics has meant that most Americans feel like,
Speaker 1: no matter how hard they work, their kids aren't going
Speaker 1: to live a life better than the life they led. Well,
Speaker 1: if you hadn't a Douglas in a twenty thirty six
Speaker 1: trillion dollar hole, maybe they would have a future that
Speaker 1: they might, you know, be positive about. They're going to
Speaker 1: be left to pay down that they're killed children. If
Speaker 1: they haven't, You're going to be left to pay that down,
Speaker 1: or the system will collapse on under the weight of
Speaker 1: itself because of the interest payments we're making on that
Speaker 1: and so Security, Medicaid, medicare in a state of disarray
Speaker 1: and leading to their ultimate demise. Of those programs too,
Speaker 1: because they've been mismanaged all these years. I mean, come on,
Speaker 1: you got a lot of problems on your hands. But
Speaker 1: screaming and just name calling that is not an argument.
Speaker 1: It is not an advancement of a specific set of
Speaker 1: proposals and principles that are an alternative to what Americans
Speaker 1: pretty much won. Donald Trump's approval rating is pretty damn
Speaker 1: good right now. New CBS poll He's got fifty percent approve,
Speaker 1: which was higher than any point during his last term. Now,
Speaker 1: some people have a problem with how he's dealing with
Speaker 1: the inflation and somebody the economy, but only by a
Speaker 1: couple of extra digits. They love what he's doing with immigration,
Speaker 1: very great numbers in terms of how he's handling immigration. So,
Speaker 1: in spite of all the yelling, yell, yell, yell, yeo yell,
Speaker 1: people still seem to be genuinely appreciative of what Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's doing for the country. So for SAX six nineteen

Speaker 7: The talk station.
Speaker 1: Six twenty four. If you have KRC talk station, you
Speaker 1: got time for at least one call Tony thanks for
Speaker 1: calling this morning. Welcome to the program, Marien.
Speaker 11: How you doing.
Speaker 12: Did you have a good weekend?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, actually did. We had some folks over Saturday cooked
Speaker 1: a fantastic Neil really enjoyed it and other than that
Speaker 1: just kind of kicked back. So yeah, it was nice.
Speaker 13: Was So my question is, I'm not very smart person,
Speaker 13: but why is it that we are borrowing money?
Speaker 11: Why aren't we the one loading money.
Speaker 14: We are such a big economy.
Speaker 13: We should be loading countries money and to having it,
Speaker 13: you know, come.
Speaker 9: Back to us with interest and stuff.
Speaker 15: Why isn't the other way around?
Speaker 7: There's something in our economy that makes it where we
Speaker 7: have to do this that way or what.
Speaker 1: Well, we always give money away because we're trying to
Speaker 1: buy friendship. It's what the Chinese are engaged in right now,
Speaker 1: and they're ever growing presence because they're taking a queue
Speaker 1: from us. You start throwing out money in the world,
Speaker 1: people adopt your policies and adopt your security interest and
Speaker 1: of course get addicted to the bbilical court of your
Speaker 1: money flowing in, so you get to bend their will
Speaker 1: to your favor. Well, and at some point you realize
Speaker 1: that you're now thirty six trillion dollars in debt, you
Speaker 1: got to trillion dollars annual interest payment on it, and
Speaker 1: your own systems and your own social safety welfare net
Speaker 1: has not been tended to end minded to the point
Speaker 1: where all the people in your country who have relied
Speaker 1: on your promises to keep them in retirement and take
Speaker 1: care of their medicine, etc. Can't rely on that anymore. So,
Speaker 1: you know, you would think that your idea would really work, Tony,
Speaker 1: I gotta admit, but that's just not how it's turned
Speaker 1: out for us. Too many politicians not paying attention to
Speaker 1: what's going on and keeping their own personal interest in mind.
Speaker 1: You got a lot of rhinos out there. They see
Speaker 1: their pet project in their state and they're not going
Speaker 1: to give up a single dime worth of that money,
Speaker 1: which of course prompts the Democrats to do the same thing.
Speaker 1: They're the big spenders, they're the big government types. They
Speaker 1: are the fascists of the world. Let's get our definition straight.
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, Tony Jim hang on, if you don't mind
Speaker 1: for a moment, I promise to take your call right
Speaker 1: out of the gate. At six twenty six fifty five

Speaker 1: phones as promised, Jim, thank you so much for holding
Speaker 1: over the break there. Welcome to the program.
Speaker 16: Good morning, Brian. A couple of things. First all, last
Speaker 16: week I think Astrity were talking about something and dealing
Speaker 16: with the cops and the kids and stuff. Was like
Speaker 16: the solution is to give kids snacks at the bus
Speaker 16: stop to stop crime and nuts. But what you're talking
Speaker 16: about this morning about the test list things. Somebody I
Speaker 16: think it's on the northwest side of town. Some buddy.
Speaker 16: There's a group chann lines and reporting on a group
Speaker 16: of knuckleheads that were initially they're all worried about the
Speaker 16: department that they had being removed and how that's going
Speaker 16: to impact the schools, which is for the better, I
Speaker 16: would think, But they were the ones out leading this
Speaker 16: Tesla thing the other day. It's like, I got no
Speaker 16: clue what that's got to do with schools.
Speaker 1: But yeah, whatever, Well that's the conclusion I'm left with. Whatever.
Speaker 1: I mean, your day of rage is over with. You
Speaker 1: accomplish nothing. The dealership is still there, people still like
Speaker 1: their Teslas, and all you're doing is ruining and endeavoring
Speaker 1: to ruin, literally take down a company it employs one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand people and apparently makes a product that people
Speaker 1: absolutely love or at least used to love until they
Speaker 1: turn it into a political symbol. And the Left is
Speaker 1: just doing this to manipulate useful idiots that don't even
Speaker 1: know why they're there screaming about Elon musk Olive ark.
Speaker 1: What does that mean? He's a man doing a job
Speaker 1: for free that is trying to save us from ourselves.
Speaker 1: He's pointing out all the fraud, wasted abuse, and government
Speaker 1: giving us great illustrations and pointing out that we do
Speaker 1: a terrible job minding the money that they take from
Speaker 1: our paychecks. Is that what's got them angry? Are you
Speaker 1: angry about that. I mean, I don't understand why you
Speaker 1: can be. I'm looking at a mean right now. Don't
Speaker 1: be afraid to call things what they are. MAGA is
Speaker 1: a terrorist organization, they said that on this really in
Speaker 1: what way, shape or form. ICE is a secret police
Speaker 1: force conducting ethnic cleansing. It went on to say, no,
Speaker 1: citizenship is not based on ethnicity. Now, many of the
Speaker 1: folks coming across the border have a certain ethnicity. I
Speaker 1: happen to have an Irish and English ethnicity. That's where
Speaker 1: my ancestors are coming from. But I'm a white guy,
Speaker 1: so apparently it's anybody who's not white. This is ethnic cleansing.
Speaker 1: Although we have a country that is a melting pot
Speaker 1: fill of people with all different races, creeds, and colors
Speaker 1: of skin. If you're here illegally, it has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with your race. It's a question of the legal
Speaker 1: status and you're here and if you're a criminal. For
Speaker 1: God's sake, I think we can uniformly agree, as the
Speaker 1: polling suggests we do in large numbers. You need to
Speaker 1: be kicked out of the country because you're a threat
Speaker 1: to our society. Doesn't matter whether you're white or yellow
Speaker 1: or brown or any other color. Let's look at the
Speaker 1: box here. Are you here legally? Or did you break
Speaker 1: the law entering the country? Okay? You did break our
Speaker 1: immigration laws. Have you committed crimes? Okay, there's a check
Speaker 1: mark boom in that check sheet of deciding whether someone's
Speaker 1: allowed to stay in our country or kick them out.
Speaker 1: Is there anything about the color of their skin? No,
Speaker 1: but there they are making the charge. It's like people
Speaker 1: critical of the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Oh, you're just
Speaker 1: racist against Chinese people. No, we're not. It just happened
Speaker 1: to be the Chinese people ran the Wuhan Institute of
Speaker 1: Virology and it's Chinese Communist Party. More fundamentally, nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with the Chinese people as a racist people. I just
Speaker 1: disagree with their former government. I mean, these statements don't
Speaker 1: make any sense. New Hampshire, Gary, Welcome to the program.
Speaker 1: I'm always good to hear from you, my friend.
Speaker 17: Hey, Brian, how are you doing this morning?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 17: A little wound up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's better to be better to be wound up
Speaker 1: on a money than a sleep. Because I had a
Speaker 1: miserable night's sleep last night. I think it's because we
Speaker 1: had pizza for dinner and it didn't sit well with
Speaker 1: me regardless though.
Speaker 17: Yeah, oh my goodness, Yeah, I've been up since too.
Speaker 17: Don't ask me why, I just have. Hey, just just
Speaker 17: to let you give you a little little First of all,
Speaker 17: my condolence for Bard, Yeah, a long term. I'll set
Speaker 17: a prayer for her now that she's crossed over and
Speaker 17: we'll appreciate that. And and second of all, we really
Speaker 17: appreciate you and Joe as a morning team. You guys
Speaker 17: are you know, it's got to be hard to hear
Speaker 17: all of this every day. We thrive on it. But
Speaker 17: you know, yeah, I think it makes you more mature
Speaker 17: over the years that you've been here. I don't think
Speaker 17: you're as naive or I know, definitely I'm not the
Speaker 17: same way I was twenty years ago when I started
Speaker 17: listening to you eighteen years ago, actually listening to your dad.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, you know, the more you read, the more
Speaker 1: your knowledge base increases, and the more you can sort
Speaker 1: of see the forest for the trees, if you know
Speaker 1: what I mean.
Speaker 17: So, yeah, but let me tell you something I get
Speaker 17: from the New Hampshire aspect. I talked to people up here,
Speaker 17: and it's mostly the co exists. People with the yard
Speaker 17: signs out hate has no home, must he at the
Speaker 17: Festiality dealership, you know, so you know, you just look
Speaker 17: at their They say one hypocrisy, I guess you'd call it.
Speaker 17: You say one thing and do another. Right, it's the
Speaker 17: only peaceful if if I.
Speaker 1: Agree with you exactly.
Speaker 17: Yeah, in the meantime, what the beatings begin. And it's
Speaker 17: actually a shame because there actually destroying this country because
Speaker 17: how many people have stock market value invested in their
Speaker 17: four oh one ks for Tesla and anything like that,
Speaker 17: or how many people work for Tesla. Those people get
Speaker 17: hurt in addition, and all for what. Because the Democrats
Speaker 17: are getting their way, they'll destroy anything to get in
Speaker 17: their way. Don't get me wrong, Republicans would do the
Speaker 17: same thing if we allow.
Speaker 1: That, if we allow it.
Speaker 17: Politics, right, it's destructive, Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 1: I don't get out the path of violence, man, that's
Speaker 1: my But you know, you got to remember there's a
Speaker 1: lot of evil forces out there, like George Soros who
Speaker 1: wants our country to end as it currently exists, and
Speaker 1: all the destruction that'll go along with it. I mean,
Speaker 1: we must even be the point, you know, we're like
Speaker 1: the foundation upon which the globe functions. Financially, we're that wealthy.
Speaker 1: We have so much money out of the world, and
Speaker 1: we prop up so many countries and we engage in
Speaker 1: common and trade with them. If you end the United States,
Speaker 1: you end all of that from happening, and the world
Speaker 1: spirals into misery. That apparently is what they're after and
Speaker 1: what they want. It's frightening, though, but that's that's the
Speaker 1: end result of bringing down America one stock market, one
Speaker 1: company publicly traded company at a time. Yeah, four to one.
Speaker 1: K's vanished, people's investments vantaged, people are out of work
Speaker 1: and on the streets, and it further devolves into extra chaos. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's great. Let's bring back the Great Depression. Great idea.
Speaker 1: Appreciate it New Amster, Gary six thirty eight fifty five
Speaker 1: KRC Detalk station five point three seven four nine fifty
Speaker 1: five hundred eight two to three talk and don't pay
Speaker 1: outrageous to be a save a month, don't pay outrageous
Speaker 1: months to get a good to a hospital imaging department
Speaker 1: to get an MRI, a CT scan, an echo cardiogram.
Speaker 1: Ultrasound imaging can be quite affordable by comparison to the
Speaker 1: outrageous price they charge at those hospital imaging departments where
Speaker 1: echo cardigram and you may have to wait a month
Speaker 1: to get in. Could you set you back more than
Speaker 1: thirty five hundred dollars? You probably pay extra for the
Speaker 1: radiologists report. Go to Affordable Imaging Services where that image
Speaker 1: without an enhancement will be five hundred dollars. Need an enhancement,
Speaker 1: it's eight hundred, and they get you right in at
Speaker 1: Affordable Imaging MRIs. Also north of thirty five hundred dollars
Speaker 1: at a hospital four hundred and ninety five dollars at
Speaker 1: Affordable Imaging Service. Same at same thing across the board.
Speaker 1: Every image at Affordable Imaging comes with price included the
Speaker 1: board certified radiologist report, which you and your doctor will
Speaker 1: both get within forty eight hours getting my next one.
Speaker 1: I think it's a week or so from now my
Speaker 1: CT scan, hoping it comes out fine, but one way
Speaker 1: or another, I know it'll come out in terms of
Speaker 1: image quality. And they use the same stuff that the
Speaker 1: hospitals use in terms of equipment. They just have very
Speaker 1: low overhead, So don't expect a lot of bells and whistles,
Speaker 1: but expect great images at a great price. So there
Speaker 1: you go. Affordable Medimaging dot Com is where you find
Speaker 1: them online. Affordable Medimaging dot Com. Exercise your choice. You
Speaker 1: do have one? What comes to medical care? Five one
Speaker 1: three seven five three eight thousand. That's seven, five three
Speaker 1: eight thousand.
Speaker 4: This is fifty KRC and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 2: Have you ever wondered if your pet is?
Speaker 1: Line to forty three to fifty five KRC DE talk station,
Speaker 1: Happy Monday, looking forward to hearing from Christopher Smith and
Speaker 1: coming up for the next hour. Ali's enjoy hearing from
Speaker 1: you two. Feel free to qualify. I went three seven
Speaker 1: fifty two to three talk and here we go more violence.
Speaker 1: Headquarters of the Republican Party in New Mexico torched yesterday,
Speaker 1: which is what the authorities are calling a deliberate act
Speaker 1: of urson. Republican Party New Mexico, and a social media
Speaker 1: post showed the damages of the Shaped States Up headquarters
Speaker 1: in Albuquerque, where spray painted on the wall ice equals
Speaker 1: KKK right for all the reasons. I just pointed out
Speaker 1: that it's so misguided that you know you're an idiot.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you're just an idiot and burning the place
Speaker 1: down obviously not good either. According to the Post earlier
Speaker 1: this morning, the entry where the Republican Party New Mextch's
Speaker 1: headquarters in Albuquerque was destroyed in a deliberate act of arson,
Speaker 1: which also included spray painting the words ice equals KKK.
Speaker 1: This horrific attack, fueled by hatred and intolerance, is a
Speaker 1: direct assault on our values, freedoms, and our rights to
Speaker 1: political expression. Deeply relieved that no one was harmed in
Speaker 1: what could have been a tragic, deadly attack. That from
Speaker 1: a statement from Amy Barrella, the chairwoman of the Republican
Speaker 1: Party in New Mexico, she said, those who resort to
Speaker 1: violence to undermine our state and nation must be held accountable,
Speaker 1: and our state leaders must reinforce through decisive action that
Speaker 1: these cowardly attacks will not be tolerated. So we're looking
Speaker 1: forward to looking to work with the Bureau of Alcohol,
Speaker 1: Tobacco on Firearms, local law enforcement, federal investigators committed to
Speaker 1: providing every piece of evidence necessary to bring those responsible
Speaker 1: to justice and ensure that they are prosecuted to the
Speaker 1: fullest extent of a law. Well yeah, well let's hope
Speaker 1: they are too. And you know, as wet as I
Speaker 1: am to my little libertarian values. It would never cross
Speaker 1: my mind to like torch George Soros's headquarters or something.
Speaker 1: You end up negating your own message when you do that.
Speaker 1: I mean you've got logic and reason on your side,
Speaker 1: or at least I claim to. I believe you're capable
Speaker 1: of managing your own affairs. From choosing and picking and
Speaker 1: choosing what you want to spend your money on, getting
Speaker 1: an education that's available to you. It's right there, making
Speaker 1: responsible choices, or not suffering the consequences of poor choices,
Speaker 1: and hopefully learning from them and then not going down
Speaker 1: that road again. It's called life experience. Choosing who you
Speaker 1: want to sleep with knock yourself out. I don't have
Speaker 1: any control over that. The minute I come after you,
Speaker 1: that's the day that I decide that I have fixed
Speaker 1: everything and every imperfection of my life that's never going
Speaker 1: to happen. Live your life, libertarian. Trust you with your
Speaker 1: wallet and your zipper. I can live in this world
Speaker 1: comfortably with gay stray people. Even bisexual people. Don't tell
Speaker 1: me though a man can be a woman. That's different.
Speaker 1: I don't have to abide by that, but I'm happy
Speaker 1: to live in a society that has people to believe
Speaker 1: their women or men when they're biologically not. That's what
Speaker 1: freedom's all about. But that freedom also includes my right
Speaker 1: to make my own choices. You're not going to indoctrinate
Speaker 1: me into thinking something completely contrary to logic and reason.
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful thing. So we have the arguments on
Speaker 1: our side, and screaming and yelling and wailing and gnashing
Speaker 1: and teeth is never, ever, ever an effective strategy, and
Speaker 1: that's exactly what this basically turns into. Well, I hate
Speaker 1: the Republicans, so I'm going to burn him down. I
Speaker 1: hate the fact that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement is finally
Speaker 1: doing their job and getting a hold on our borders,
Speaker 1: because that represents a security interest to our country. We
Speaker 1: have dangerous people coming across the border, maybe members of
Speaker 1: terrorist selves, maybe terrorists themselves, maybe the Chinese communist parties
Speaker 1: sending people over. We've got tens of thousands of Chinese
Speaker 1: military age men that have come across the open borders
Speaker 1: during the Biden administration that might represent a challenge to us,
Speaker 1: and of course organize chaos in the streets. When you
Speaker 1: start taking steps to ensure the safety and economic stability
Speaker 1: of our country, making sure our children can get an education.
Speaker 1: We're not sitting in a room with a bunch of
Speaker 1: kids who don't speak English and need remedial liverate literally
Speaker 1: everything holding our students back, and then moving away from
Speaker 1: that component of illegal immigration. Look at how bad our
Speaker 1: schools are performing anyway. Maybe we need reform. Huh. Maybe
Speaker 1: we need a return to decision making to a local level,
Speaker 1: so different regions can deal with the problems differently, because
Speaker 1: there are of course different problems that each region is
Speaker 1: dealing with that don't necessarily carry over someplace else. The
Speaker 1: one size fits all solution is not something that works.
Speaker 1: So let's get rid of the Department of Education and
Speaker 1: the strings attached to the dollars that impact what we
Speaker 1: teach our children in school and just give block grants.
Speaker 1: The money's not going away, don't believe those lies. The
Speaker 1: bureaucracy and the micromanagement of your local school boards may
Speaker 1: be going away, though, and I think that'll be a healthy,
Speaker 1: refreshing change for the benefit of our young people who
Speaker 1: clearly have a problem at school these days. Sixty eight
Speaker 1: fifty five krc DE talk station. Well, how many realtors
Speaker 1: you know that can guarantee the sale of a of
Speaker 1: your home. Well, I know one the only team I
Speaker 1: would ever consider hiring. That's the Super Group of Keller
Speaker 1: Williams seven Hills Outstanding real Estates. They are real estate agents.
Speaker 1: They are the only agents I'd ever trust. Peter Suber,
Speaker 1: the ser Group of Keller Williams seven Hills. They have
Speaker 1: the guarantee sale. What you do, you're goring a price
Speaker 1: in a deadline, right out front with Peter and his team.
Speaker 1: If they don't sell your home by that price and
Speaker 1: that time, well Peter will buy it. As simple as that.
Speaker 1: You know exactly what's going to happen. Is it gonna
Speaker 1: sell it to somebody else within that period of time
Speaker 1: where it's over and done with, on the day and
Speaker 1: time you agreed on and at the price you agreed on.
Speaker 1: That's part of the guarantee. That five star experience one
Speaker 1: of the many programs Supgroup offers that nobody else does
Speaker 1: to the best of my knowledge. Several ways to reach
Speaker 1: them Sabri c Cha, b r I S Schubree Group.
Speaker 1: Use your search engine you'll find them. Go directly to

Speaker 2: Fifty five KRC dot com.
Speaker 1: When divorce puts your life's work On six fifty three
Speaker 1: at fifty five KRCV talk station. I alluded to that
Speaker 1: new CBS poll that came out which says looks like
Speaker 1: the vast majority of a very large majority of us
Speaker 1: are happy with what at least the Trump administration is
Speaker 1: doing in so far as immigration crackdown. We're on the
Speaker 1: right side of the ledger on that one. Politically, of course,
Speaker 1: ICE doing its job for a change. And here we
Speaker 1: go to the other side. While ICE cracking down on
Speaker 1: illegal immigration. We have a TikTok user posting what is
Speaker 1: I agree with the description a disturbing video calling on
Speaker 1: people to, in his words, shoot at ICE agents, shoot
Speaker 1: them on site. Blaldonk it's this guy that poasted it.
Speaker 1: He actually had the nerve and the stupidity to post
Speaker 1: a video of himself, the guy actually telling people to
Speaker 1: shoot ICE agents. Quote shoot at ICE agents on site.
Speaker 1: That's right. If ICE agents are trying to take you
Speaker 1: or a loved one, shoot them on site. Well, from
Speaker 1: a legal perspective, I think he's got it wrong. Not
Speaker 1: allowed to use deadly force unless you are confronted with
Speaker 1: deadly force. And this is merely law enforcement doing the
Speaker 1: job that they are told to do based upon the
Speaker 1: law and the way it reads. So this guy apparently
Speaker 1: has since taken down the message you can get in
Speaker 1: trouble with authorities. Took down the message on Sunday evening
Speaker 1: after Fox News Digital reached out to him on TikTok. Whoops. Wow,
Speaker 1: it went viral and apparently for all the wrong or
Speaker 1: right reasons, depending on your perspective. That's what's going on
Speaker 1: out in the world. Yes, one guy with an opinion.
Speaker 1: We all know what opinions are, like, everybody's got one sphincter's.
Speaker 1: But in this particular case, I think it's reflective of
Speaker 1: the just outrageous attitude that some people have when without
Speaker 1: borders and without some sort of border stability, without a
Speaker 1: managed immigration system, the whole place just comes falling down
Speaker 1: in on itself. More to talk about off top of
Speaker 1: the ar News plus Christopher Smithmen coming up at seven
Speaker 1: to twenty, and I hope you can stick around. Be interesting.
Speaker 1: Conversation with Christopher usually is I'll be right back for.

Speaker 11: if you go to Yellow Ribbonsupport Center dot com you
Speaker 11: can get all the information and buy tickets and even
Speaker 11: there's some table sponsorships there available for any of our
Speaker 11: corporate friends that want to be as generous as they can.
Speaker 11: So I can't thank you and Joe enough for giving
Speaker 11: me the opportunity to come on here and mention about
Speaker 11: the Yellow Ribbon Supports Center and all the good they do.
Speaker 1: Well, that's just wonderful. And it's nice that you know,
Speaker 1: Matt Mappin, who of course perished fighting in service of
Speaker 1: our country, his name is being used for such a
Speaker 1: wonderful cause, so you know, God rest his soul. But
Speaker 1: it's a I don't know. It's great that this Yellow
Speaker 1: Ribven Support Center deck exist and remembering Matt's name and
Speaker 1: of course those others who have who've fallen in combat,
Speaker 1: you always got a vehicle forum here Drew to promote
Speaker 1: such events. You know me, I love the American veteran
Speaker 1: and anything we can do to support causes related to
Speaker 1: them as a welcome opportunity here in the Morning show.
Speaker 9: I know that, and I can't thank you enough.
Speaker 11: And it's just it's just, you know, sometimes getting a
Speaker 11: plug in or your message out with all the chatter
Speaker 11: going on in the world's difficult, and there's so much
Speaker 11: need out there, there really is. But this organization does
Speaker 11: just is very very it's a very efficient, small organization
Speaker 11: that does great jobs. You know that over the years,
Speaker 11: this organization has helped send over thirty seven thousand care
Speaker 11: packages to active duty service members overseas. I mean, holy,
Speaker 11: these people, these are just good people. They don't necessarily
Speaker 11: seek the limelight. They do good work. And this dinner
Speaker 11: if if you're you're you're welcome to be my guest
Speaker 11: at a table this year if you have the time
Speaker 11: on the twelfth. But I'd just like to tell you this,
Speaker 11: this organization does so much good and it's such a
Speaker 11: great evening to just sit there and and you know,
Speaker 11: it's it's it's not a it's not a it's a
Speaker 11: somber occasion. It's a memorial. You know, we we we
Speaker 11: say the names of all the soldiers and it's it's
Speaker 11: very very somber. It's a powerful evening. But it also
Speaker 11: is is an evening that fills you with hope because
Speaker 11: so many people are are are doing good to support
Speaker 11: the American veteran and the American soldier and remember their memory.
Speaker 11: So that's the most important thing. So uh again, Yellow
Speaker 11: Rivetsupportscenter dot com is the website you can go and
Speaker 11: buy tickets. I just we're trying. They're trying to make
Speaker 11: the final push h to get tickets sold. It's up
Speaker 11: at the oasis. It's not far so if you can, uh,
Speaker 11: if you if you're so inclined to either sponsor a table,
Speaker 11: be a sponsor for the event, donate, or just buy
Speaker 11: a ticket.
Speaker 1: We really appreciate it. Thank you so much for coming
Speaker 1: on the program and bringing it to my listeners' attention, Drew.
Speaker 1: That means a lot to me. And what I'll do
Speaker 1: is I'll ask Joe to put the link to the
Speaker 1: Yellow Ribbinsupport Center dot com on my blog page as well,
Speaker 1: just in case people forget the name of the link,
Speaker 1: so one more opportunity to get in touch with them.
Speaker 1: And today's the last.

Speaker 1: you got till tomorrow.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we got till tomorrow. So I appreciate that.
Speaker 11: And well, you know, with the with the storm's keeping
Speaker 11: me up half.
Speaker 9: The night, my my my days are off.
Speaker 11: But I just I just really hope that people have
Speaker 11: the opportunity to get out there and and and support
Speaker 11: this great organization. So I just thank you again for
Speaker 11: the opportunity. And you guys are always so gracious that
Speaker 11: there's a good cause and a worthy cause, you and
Speaker 11: Joe and the good work show does there. You guys
Speaker 11: are always very very generous with your time and appreciate it.
Speaker 1: That's one of the points of the Morning Show, my friend.
Speaker 1: I feel blessed to be in a position to let
Speaker 1: people know about all these wonderful organizations and some of
Speaker 1: the good that's going on in the world, because Lord knows,
Speaker 1: we are surrounded by a lot of nonsense. If I
Speaker 1: can just boil it down to that, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Amen, take care and God bless you. Drew
Speaker 1: Pappus appreciate bringing that to everybody's attention. And one more thing,
Speaker 1: there's a Corey Bowman who's obviously running for mayor the
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati as a Republican. Westside Jim Keefer asked
Speaker 1: that I remind everyone that next Tuesday, the eighth, at
Speaker 1: Price Sil Chili, there is an early voting kickoff event,
Speaker 1: And then we mentioned this before in the Morning Show
Speaker 1: and Corey was on so early voting kickoff event Price
Speaker 1: Hill Chili begins at five pm and lasts until seven pm.
Speaker 1: So help get the word out about Corey Bowman. You
Speaker 1: can talk to him, shake his hand, find out what
Speaker 1: he's all about, and see if you have some interest
Speaker 1: in supporting the campaign. But it's fast approaching, and of
Speaker 1: course he's gonna have primary, and then after he wins
Speaker 1: the primary, it's off to the races against have to
Speaker 1: have pro ball. So there is a choice in this
Speaker 1: world and you can exercise that. And while I'm talking
Speaker 1: about events, I may as well mention. Barley Corns is
Speaker 1: where we're going to be on Wednesday for the Listener Lunch, Wilder, Kentucky.
Speaker 1: Barley Corns. There are several Barley Corns, but we're going
Speaker 1: to be in Wilder, Kentucky. It's pretty easy to get
Speaker 1: to off four seventy one the Double A Highways. You know,
Speaker 1: just look it up online. You'll see it's supposed to
Speaker 1: be really good. I've heard nothing but rave reviews continuing
Speaker 1: our micro brewery tour that we've been doing this year
Speaker 1: for listener Lunch. And since I mentioned listener to Lunch,
Speaker 1: I will mention again for folks that have just tuned
Speaker 1: in lost Alena. I just dearly loved Barbara. Barbar Liznouski
Speaker 1: referred to as my blind friend Barbara. She was always
Speaker 1: so inspirational and was always moved by her you know,
Speaker 1: refusal to take her disability and let it hold her back.
Speaker 1: She would get on that bus that would take transport
Speaker 1: anywhere around town that's for disabled folks. There's that service
Speaker 1: out there. She'd come by herself to listener to lunch,
Speaker 1: you know, order and get some help from folks and
Speaker 1: always set up just a smile on her face and
Speaker 1: a really bubbly friendly personality. She sang in her church
Speaker 1: choir for a forever up until she her health deteriorated.
Speaker 1: But I was advised this morning that she had been
Speaker 1: moved from her nursing home over to university a hospital
Speaker 1: because of a bow obstruction, and apparently that took her life.
Speaker 1: So rest in peace, Barb. You were an inspiration again.
Speaker 1: It was nice being in a position to know you.
Speaker 1: And we have lost, you know, several listeners over the
Speaker 1: years that come to listening to Lunch, like Bob from Oakley,
Speaker 1: and I just have such fond memories of being in
Speaker 1: a position to be able to meet those folks and
Speaker 1: as I always feel about meeting the listeners at listener
Speaker 1: and lunch. It's a real shot in the arm sometimes
Speaker 1: when you're feeling down and blue to know that I
Speaker 1: have such a fabulous, fabulous listening audience. Your people who care,
Speaker 1: your people who stay on top of important matters. You
Speaker 1: think logically, you think reasonably, and it's a blessing to
Speaker 1: have you out there listening to the program. I feel
Speaker 1: that I'm not worthy another man, I feel I'm not
Speaker 1: worthy to talk to Christopher Smithman, who's going to join
Speaker 1: the program next to give us a smither vent love
Speaker 1: talking to Christopher. I hope you do too, And if
Speaker 1: you can't hang out for that, remember fifty five carsee
Speaker 1: dot com. I always get your podcasts and information there
Speaker 1: fifty five krsee dot com, along with your rightheartmedia app.
Speaker 1: The meantime, though, another thing I'm happy to tell you
Speaker 1: about his odor Exit's locally manufactured, owned and operated twenty
Speaker 1: five years in business helping people eradicate nasty odors from
Speaker 1: their lives. The products are one er percent satisfaction guaranteed.
Speaker 1: It's easy to figure out which product you need by

Speaker 1: think it's still twenty percent off. Don't quote me on that.

Speaker 1: human oder, food oders, skunk spray. Yeah, it works on everything.

Speaker 4: This is fifty five krc an iHeartRadio station, Team fifty.
Speaker 1: Five KRCD Talk station. It being a Monday, I always
Speaker 1: look forward to this time. Get to hear from the
Speaker 1: former Vice Mayor of the City of Cincinnati, h Christopher
Speaker 1: Smithman with a smith Event. Welcome back, Christopher Hope you
Speaker 1: had a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 8: I did. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. And I,
Speaker 8: you know, want to also extend my my prayer to
Speaker 8: anybody who was impacted by the storms last night and
Speaker 8: continue to encourage people to drive bapuly out there today.
Speaker 1: Man, it sounded like we were in a war last night,
Speaker 1: just the constant bomabone of owe thunders like geese just
Speaker 1: couldn't get over that thunder.
Speaker 17: It was.
Speaker 8: It was startling my mom. She couldn't stop calling me
Speaker 8: making sure that we were okay. What I want to
Speaker 8: share with you today, and it's a complicated subject matter
Speaker 8: because race is always complicated. But you know, I was
Speaker 8: very disappointed in Representative Crockett for a lot of things
Speaker 8: that she had said. This is a representative out of
Speaker 8: Texas who's been making national news because of things that
Speaker 8: she's been saying. And some of those things she's been saying,
Speaker 8: she's been she insulted the governor of Texas about him
Speaker 8: being in a wheelchair. She's been cussing in her official
Speaker 8: capacity as a member of Congress in chambers that I
Speaker 8: do too. She's been cutting outside of those chambers, meaning
Speaker 8: just during interviews she's been using profanity. She's been dancing
Speaker 8: in the hallway on Instagram, I believe one of the
Speaker 8: platforms with her tongue hanging out and even kind of
Speaker 8: holding her crops as she's doing this dance in the hallway,
Speaker 8: which I thought was ridiculous for a member of Congress.
Speaker 8: But what she did this weekend when she went after
Speaker 8: a congressman Byron Donald's by literally saying that he wasn't
Speaker 8: black because he was married to a white woman, really
Speaker 8: hit another loaf for her. And so I'm going to
Speaker 8: spend a little time talking about Representative Crockett, who spent
Speaker 8: the majority of her life living a privilege life. This
Speaker 8: is a woman who comes from a two family home,
Speaker 8: which is wonderful, a pastor first lady, who sent her
Speaker 8: to private schools her entire life, her college education two
Speaker 8: thousand students, seventy one thousand a year. She went to
Speaker 8: Catholic schools her whole life. And so this notion that
Speaker 8: this highly educated African American woman who seems to be
Speaker 8: playing to the lowest common denominator when we need African
Speaker 8: American women and men the talented ten, he's going to
Speaker 8: the lowest common denominator. But to attack this man's family,
Speaker 8: to say that because he's married to a white woman
Speaker 8: it now doesn't make him black, makes her absolutely insane
Speaker 8: and somebody who should not be serving as a member
Speaker 8: of Congress. This is not about Democrat or Republicans. There
Speaker 8: are children out there who are from interracial relationships. There
Speaker 8: are people who are listening to this show who are
Speaker 8: in interracial relationships. We've got the Vice President who's married
Speaker 8: to an age an Indian woman, who, by the way,
Speaker 8: came really from povertive poverty. Unlike Representative Crocket, who's thinking
Speaker 8: something that she's not. She's a phony, she's a fake,
Speaker 8: and you got you got her going after an African
Speaker 8: American man because.
Speaker 12: Of who he chooses to love and looks.
Speaker 8: Like as a beautiful family, a beautiful white and I
Speaker 8: want to salute them. I want to lift them up,
Speaker 8: and I want to lift up every interracial couple, no
Speaker 8: matter what the combination is, that they have the rights,
Speaker 8: that those relationships are beautiful, and that Representative Crocket should
Speaker 8: absolutely be censured.
Speaker 12: For her comments.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't argue with that, Christopher. You know, as
Speaker 1: I was contemplating what she said, if that were I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's ludicrous, it's stupid. It obviously illustrates that she's
Speaker 1: just insane. But if that is true, that if a
Speaker 1: black man who marries a white woman is not black,
Speaker 1: then Barack Obama was not black. He was the product
Speaker 1: of two white people then, and that isn't that what
Speaker 1: that means?
Speaker 12: It means all of the above.
Speaker 8: It means all of the above. I mean the notion
Speaker 8: for her to assert what's black and what's not black,
Speaker 8: having spent her the majority of her time in what
Speaker 8: would be considered white institutions. She didn't go to Spelman,
Speaker 8: she didn't go to Howard, she didn't go to Tuskegee
Speaker 8: Institute like my mom and dad went. She went to
Speaker 8: an affluent private school two thousand kids, where the tuition
Speaker 8: had seventy one thousand dollars a year. Wool. And I'm
Speaker 8: just saying, I am tired of these state and phony
Speaker 8: people who try to assert what their blackness is and
Speaker 8: how that's defined for the rest of America. This African
Speaker 8: American man who is running for governor for Florida has
Speaker 8: the right to love Mary whoever he wants to, and
Speaker 8: I think that she should be censure for her comments
Speaker 8: because they're so repulsive.
Speaker 1: Well, you know that reminds me of Joe Biden's statement,
Speaker 1: if you don't vote Democrat, you're not black. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's another ridiculous thing. This is your politics to find
Speaker 1: our skin color.
Speaker 8: It's all of the above are true, but it just
Speaker 8: tells you the cesspool of race that she could get
Speaker 8: on an African American a radio show and make these
Speaker 8: kinds of comments and not be challenged. Yeah, thinking about
Speaker 8: all of the athletes out here right who are married
Speaker 8: to white women. I just thought Tiger Woods, who just announced,
Speaker 8: i think an engagement to a white woman, What in
Speaker 8: her mind makes her believe that because somebody's in an
Speaker 8: interracial relationship, they have now surrendered who they are.
Speaker 12: And so this is this this low mental of.
Speaker 8: This Representative Crocket who's been saying things about whether it's
Speaker 8: whether it's Senator Cruz, whether it's the governor of Texas now,
Speaker 8: whether it is her colleague, a congressional member of Congress
Speaker 8: Byron Donalds who's running for the Florida governorship. I'm just
Speaker 8: saying to you, Representative Crocket, if this is what the
Speaker 8: Democratic Party has to offer America, stame on them. Stame
Speaker 8: on them.
Speaker 1: We'll continue with Christopher Smithen on a tear this morning.
Speaker 1: He is as we always enjoy. First let mention Chimneycare
Speaker 1: Fireplaces st two reasons to call him.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 1: If you have a wood burning fireplace, they have the
Speaker 1: Spring Special, which is a wood burning sweeping evaluation for
Speaker 1: only one sixty nine to ninety nine plus tax good savings.
Speaker 1: And it's an important thing to do, is taking care
Speaker 1: of your safety. And what a perfect time of year
Speaker 1: to go ahead and do this because, let's face it,
Speaker 1: with the temperature's warming up, probably not using the fireplace,
Speaker 1: so great to get it checked out so when it
Speaker 1: gets cold again you can confidently light up a fire,
Speaker 1: beautiful woodburning fire and know that you're in great shape
Speaker 1: to a video camera inspection of that whole fireplace, making
Speaker 1: sure the flow is right. You're not gonna have any
Speaker 1: carbon monoxide problems. Definitely get a carbon monoxide detector, but
Speaker 1: a low, low price of one sixty nine ninety nine.
Speaker 1: They will also do an exterior check of your chimney. Now,
Speaker 1: if you have a gas fireplace, you can get a
Speaker 1: free exterior evaluation from the Chimneycare Fireplace in Stove protect
Speaker 1: your chimney from water damage. That's what the xterior evaluation
Speaker 1: is all about. And they'll do that with the woodburning
Speaker 1: sweep and evaluation. But you don't have a wood burner,
Speaker 1: take advantage of the free exterior evaluation. Call my friends
Speaker 1: at Chimney Care Fireplace in Stoe since nineteen eighty eight,

Speaker 1: a great time of you listen listening to the fifty
Speaker 1: five care See morning showing on Monday. Get start to
Speaker 1: Christopher smithvan doing the Smith Event. Why something else that
Speaker 1: has got to be on your mind? Christopher?
Speaker 17: What is it?
Speaker 12: Well?
Speaker 8: I have to tell you that, first I thought the
Speaker 8: return of the astronauts from space that were stranded there
Speaker 8: for nine months was a remarkable scientific feat. And again
Speaker 8: I give my kudos to Elon Musk and his team.
Speaker 8: The President of the United States NASA, all the scientists.
Speaker 8: I raised this because they have given their first interview
Speaker 8: on Fox News with Bill Hemmer and I know, you know,
Speaker 8: he's a Cincinnati guy. Oh Elder is an anchor there.
Speaker 12: He got that first interview.
Speaker 8: With Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams, who are the two
Speaker 8: astronauts that or were returned to space after being left there.
Speaker 14: For nine months.
Speaker 8: And it's just one of those interviews that I think
Speaker 8: all of us should watch because these are scientists that
Speaker 8: are just out trying to do their job. They're just
Speaker 8: they're just you know, giving their best to America. But
Speaker 8: at the end of the day, I'm sure there are
Speaker 8: feelings that they were left that that people a trip
Speaker 8: that was supposed to be eight or nine days ended
Speaker 8: up being nine months. And the politics surrounding it is
Speaker 8: clear that they understand that's the that's the past administration
Speaker 8: left in there, and the current administration put a plan
Speaker 8: together to get them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, every time I think about that, Christopher,
Speaker 1: because I'm not claustrophobic, but if you put me in
Speaker 1: that position and you tell me that there's no way
Speaker 1: you can get back to Earth and I'm in this little,
Speaker 1: tiny space station. I'm going to become claustrophobic pretty damn quickly.
Speaker 1: There isn't enough valume or xanax or UH anti anxiety
Speaker 1: medications on the planet that can call me down out
Speaker 1: of that. So, you know, God bless them, and the
Speaker 1: idea that they were able to keep their their cool
Speaker 1: and maintain themselves and and uh and continue to get
Speaker 1: the job done while they're up there, in and of
Speaker 1: itself is an amazing thing because I'm I don't think
Speaker 1: I'm alone in the world that says I probably would
Speaker 1: have broken down psychologically over that.
Speaker 8: No, I totally agree with you. I don't think I
Speaker 8: could have been in those close corners, close quarters for
Speaker 8: nine months and still the you know what I'm hearing
Speaker 8: is the lack of communication with them on how they
Speaker 8: were actually going to get back didn't become clear to
Speaker 8: them until after the election, And that is scary stuff
Speaker 8: that all of us, meaning talking about the previous administration
Speaker 8: wasn't really focused on getting them back to Earth. It's
Speaker 8: just it's just an amazing story. I'm sure they're going
Speaker 8: to write a book about it, but you you know,
Speaker 8: scientists tend to be very guarded about what they're saying,
Speaker 8: and I believe that what they're trying to communicate is
Speaker 8: a broader message of thankfulness to the administration, but also
Speaker 8: a commitment to space travel and Elon Musk. And this
Speaker 8: kind of pushes me into what I saw this weekend,
Speaker 8: Ryan Thomas, with all of these protests at Tesla's locations.
Speaker 8: People were having cars being keyed, damaged, fires, whatever was
Speaker 8: going on. And I'm talking about across the United States
Speaker 8: of America. Obviously there were peaceful protests that we saw
Speaker 8: in front of a lot of dealerships. But this notion
Speaker 8: that you're mad at Elon Musk and this Doge organization
Speaker 8: because they are correctly identifying waste and fraud, it just
Speaker 8: blows me away. Why are they protesting?
Speaker 17: Number one?
Speaker 9: And I heard your show this morning.
Speaker 8: And then the notion that no Democratic Congressional member has
Speaker 8: literally come out and said they are against the violence
Speaker 8: that they are seeing against Tesla owners and against dealerships,
Speaker 8: people who own property. It is numbing to me how
Speaker 8: quiet they have been, Brian Thomas of not just simply
Speaker 8: saying what is happening is wrong, and it's because they
Speaker 8: want it to happen, or their organizations are privately funding
Speaker 8: what we're seeing across the United States of America.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know that that is going on. A
Speaker 1: lot of the organization has been identified and people have
Speaker 1: put together a money trail to show where some of
Speaker 1: the money's coming from that's funding these. There are some
Speaker 1: suggestions that many of the people that showed up with
Speaker 1: these were paid protesters. But to me, the issue boils
Speaker 1: down to what is your problem with Elon Musk? I
Speaker 1: mean you scream at him and say he's a Nazi,
Speaker 1: which makes absolutely no sense. Definitionally speaking, It's like I
Speaker 1: wish they all got a copy of Mirriam Webster's out
Speaker 1: of Read The Definition of Fascism, because Elon Musk is
Speaker 1: cutting and hopes to cut more of the size and
Speaker 1: scopal government. The Trump administration is endeavoring to get rid
Speaker 1: of regulations. Regulations are a mechanism fascists you to control
Speaker 1: the means of production. That's exactly what fascists do. Government
Speaker 1: tells you how you can run your business or can't
Speaker 1: run your business in a free market, You run your
Speaker 1: own business any damn way you feel like it. Well,
Speaker 1: Elon Musk is much closer to a free market fundamentalist
Speaker 1: than he is a fascist? Just to scream out fascist
Speaker 1: and Nazis just doesn't make any sense. And when these
Speaker 1: people have been interviewed, you look at the interviews, the
Speaker 1: YouTube videos and the posts, and someone you know, kindly
Speaker 1: and and and and and in a gentle manner, approaches
Speaker 1: one of these protesters and gently and kindly merely ask
Speaker 1: them what their problem is. They can't even answer it.
Speaker 1: They don't know it is fascist, Like, okay, upon what
Speaker 1: information are you drawing your conclusion that this guy's somehow
Speaker 1: a fascist? And they can't answer it. They just scream
Speaker 1: and yell.
Speaker 8: It's identity politics, bran and comments on steroids where they
Speaker 8: have no public policy, so they're just left to personal
Speaker 8: attack because they're not dealing with this substance. And they
Speaker 8: think that Americans are dumb and that we don't understand
Speaker 8: that what is happening has never happened like this before.
Speaker 8: This is historic where you have a group of people
Speaker 8: who are actually going line by line and identifying fraud.
Speaker 12: Why is there somebody one.
Speaker 8: Hundred and fifty years old getting a Social Security check?
Speaker 8: Why is there a nine month old baby getting an
Speaker 8: SBA loan?
Speaker 12: Yeah, ALLVPPO, what the reality of it?
Speaker 8: Is is that there are major problems. Why are there
Speaker 8: systems I'm talking about computer systems or software that systems
Speaker 8: that are not communicating with each other, you know. So
Speaker 8: this notion that we can we can't really improve the government,
Speaker 8: which is what Elon Musk in their team are doing,
Speaker 8: is absurd. And you would think that the Democrats and
Speaker 8: the Republicans and the few Independents that are there would.
Speaker 14: All agree on this.
Speaker 12: And so this notion of all this fake.
Speaker 8: Outrage and burning of cars and burning of dealerships and
Speaker 8: engaging in violence, and we live in a democracy with
Speaker 8: no Democratic congressional member to my knowledge being outspoken about
Speaker 8: that violence is absolutely outrageous from my perspective, and they
Speaker 8: will they don't have anything to stand on right when
Speaker 8: violence breaks out in other areas because they were so
Speaker 8: quiet right now.
Speaker 1: Brian Thommins, let's pause, will bring Christopher back for a
Speaker 1: couple more comments on this money or this Monday with
Speaker 1: this plean event. Pause for a moment first, though, and
Speaker 1: recommend you get over to foreign exchange, gets your traditionally
Speaker 1: imported car from Asia or Europe or even manufactured here
Speaker 1: in the United States. And then they have Toyota plans,
Speaker 1: for example, get it fixed at foreign Exchange. When it's
Speaker 1: out warranty, you go to the dealer. It's going to
Speaker 1: be a lot of money and more and more and
Speaker 1: more and more every single day.
Speaker 16: Uh.
Speaker 1: And I don't know what tariffs are going to do.
Speaker 1: It probably increase the price. But one thing you can
Speaker 1: count on is when you take your car to foreign Exchange,
Speaker 1: you will pay less than the dealer and your car
Speaker 1: will be fixed to your satisfaction. First off, customer services outstanding.
Speaker 1: They have se certified master technicians with access to your
Speaker 1: manufacturers all the technical information and data. You get a
Speaker 1: full warranty on parts and service, and you pay less.
Speaker 1: Westchester location is the one I'm recommended because that's where
Speaker 1: we always go. Austin and is outstanding. Folks there that'd
Speaker 1: be the tylers and the legs of Office seventy five.
Speaker 1: Just go east two streets, hanging right on Kingland Drive
Speaker 1: and there it is before your very eyes when you
Speaker 1: stop in, tollm Brian said, high, or when you call
Speaker 1: for an appointment, tollm brian said high. From the exotic

Speaker 1: It's seven four forty two on Monday, talking with former
Speaker 1: Vice many of the City of since Nant, Christopher Smithlin.
Speaker 1: Find them online is at vote Smythman on AX, Right, Christopher, that's.
Speaker 12: Right, brother.
Speaker 8: Look, my heart goes out to Rachel Morin's family, who's
Speaker 8: she was murdered.
Speaker 12: Mother of five children.
Speaker 8: That trial starts this week. Victor Antonio Martinez, horrendous out
Speaker 8: of Al Salvador, who crossed into the United States of
Speaker 8: America illegally February of twenty twenty three. And I pray
Speaker 8: that this family gets justice, that they get closure, and
Speaker 8: I hope this trial also underscores why having a border
Speaker 8: that is not an open border and border policies and
Speaker 8: immigration policies that make sense are so important. Here's a
Speaker 8: person from another country who killed an American citizen, a mother,
Speaker 8: a wife, a mother of five children, and I just
Speaker 8: think it's absolutely insane, and I just want to lift
Speaker 8: her up, even though I don't know this family obviously,
Speaker 8: you know, I just I've been following the story, and
Speaker 8: I think her murder as she's out, this guy comes
Speaker 8: out of a drain and kills her on a walk
Speaker 8: or a run is just absolutely crazy. Brian Thomas, and
Speaker 8: I just can't get my head wrapped around anybody who
Speaker 8: believes that having open borders where people can just come
Speaker 8: into our country, or district judges that can say turn
Speaker 8: planes around with gang members on it, we have got
Speaker 8: to make sure that all of our communities are safe.
Speaker 8: And Americans who are out here every day going to
Speaker 8: work like this morning, headed to their first meetings, getting
Speaker 8: their cups of coffee, they deserve to be safe. Man.
Speaker 12: And so this notion that.
Speaker 8: These district judge just federal judges that are being shopped
Speaker 8: and I'm not an attorney, you are, but they're shopping
Speaker 8: these these judges so that they're putting these different rulings
Speaker 8: in our injunctions on uh, the executive branch of government,
Speaker 8: while we have trials like this that are happening where families,
Speaker 8: American families are seeking justice. The hypocrisy of that is
Speaker 8: just blowing my mind this morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand that all day long. Hell, I read
Speaker 1: an article earlier about this TikTok video. There's a guy
Speaker 1: that actually his own He's on this video telling people
Speaker 1: to shoot ICE agents on site. Oh, just one guy.
Speaker 1: We all know what opinions are like, and everybody's got one.
Speaker 1: But I mean to just advocate me just because they're
Speaker 1: an ICE agent, to shoot them, to murder them if
Speaker 1: you see them, shoot them. It's basically the boiled down,
Speaker 1: you know, a version of his message. And I just
Speaker 1: was appalled that someone would actually advocate for something like that,
Speaker 1: and I hope no one takes his advice. But you
Speaker 1: know where the Internet allows people to interject all kinds
Speaker 1: of awful, awful concepts in the world, and we need
Speaker 1: to think rationally and reasonably about them and reject them
Speaker 1: out loud, and more politicians should come out and reject
Speaker 1: those things out loud and speak against them. Going back
Speaker 1: to your points earlier, I mean, this is not political.
Speaker 1: This isn't a Republican Democrat thing. I mean, just because
Speaker 1: you can disagree on immigration policy, but the idea that
Speaker 1: you would murder an ICE agent who is merely doing
Speaker 1: the job of upholding the law is preposterous.
Speaker 8: Well, we know that your sister served Cincinnati well as
Speaker 8: a find police officer. They're police officers, state highway patrol
Speaker 8: men's share of ICE agents, FBI agents, DEA agents, atf
Speaker 8: agents all over this country that get up every day
Speaker 8: and go to work to keep us safe. And so
Speaker 8: the notion that someone one would be anywhere saying kill
Speaker 8: one of them is absolutely crazy. And and what's unbelievable
Speaker 8: is that they're not in custody. I mean, I think
Speaker 8: that person should be arrested, absolutely, and and and knowing
Speaker 8: that when you put something out there like that, there's
Speaker 8: somebody crazy enough to listen or see it and go
Speaker 8: do it. That's what that's what's so real and powerful
Speaker 8: about social media. You can't control it once you put
Speaker 8: out once you put it out.
Speaker 1: There, No you can't. You can't unring a bell. Once
Speaker 1: it's out, it's out.
Speaker 8: We have My last point in two seconds is we
Speaker 8: got these big races down in Florida. This gentleman who's
Speaker 8: running for Congress by the last name of Fine. This
Speaker 8: is going to be a big test, a big thermometer
Speaker 8: test for Republicans. Can they hold a seat as we
Speaker 8: march into midterm elections, This open seat, that election is tomorrow,
Speaker 8: So I'll be watching those results, and I tell you
Speaker 8: if Republicans in that area. Now, now, this is again,
Speaker 8: this is like me watching a sports match, right, watching
Speaker 8: the final four. Meaning I'm just saying, you've got Republicans
Speaker 8: and Democrats that are fighting it out down in Florida.
Speaker 8: If they lose this battle, right, it's not a good
Speaker 8: sign as they march into the mid elections, mid term
Speaker 8: elections next year. Particularly, we're talking about the state of Florida,
Speaker 8: which is typically a red state. So I'll be watching
Speaker 8: that race very closely, trying to see And I think
Speaker 8: this is why Democrats are ginning up all this fake anger,
Speaker 8: having people go out in March and find a foil,
Speaker 8: meaning their foil is Elon Musk.
Speaker 12: He's bad, he's the fastest, he's a Nazie.
Speaker 8: They're trying to create all this emotion not around public policy,
Speaker 8: but around yeah, and the Democratic Party is pushing nothing
Speaker 8: but hate. They're not pushing public policy. And it's very,
Speaker 8: very dangerous because somebody could lose their life out here.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, and that's what it really boils down to. Apparently
Speaker 1: they have nothing to run on that the American people
Speaker 1: are interested in, So it's all hate and screaming and
Speaker 1: name calling, which is an advocacy for a point, What
Speaker 1: positions are they advocating for?
Speaker 8: What?
Speaker 1: I mean, where's the draw that would take someone away
Speaker 1: from considering the policies of Donald Trump and wanting to
Speaker 1: convert over to Democrats. I mean, I'd like to see
Speaker 1: their agenda. Can't find it anywhere, at least nothing that
Speaker 1: appeals to me or makes any sense to me.
Speaker 14: No, not my problem, I guess right now, Christopher, violence
Speaker 14: is always wrong.
Speaker 8: We can always condemn it, and I think your entire
Speaker 8: listening audis no matter what their gender is or their race, right,
Speaker 8: we all can agree that violence is wrong.
Speaker 12: That's why it's so interesting that.
Speaker 8: We don't have any Democratic congressional members condemning it. And
Speaker 8: as they go into these elections, it's like they're wanting to.
Speaker 17: Gen this up.
Speaker 12: The reality is somebody could get.
Speaker 8: Hurt, like the CEO of one of the major healthcare systems.
Speaker 8: People out here have broken minds, They can take accents,
Speaker 8: and people can lose their lives. So I hope that
Speaker 8: we get better leaders. I hope that the leaders starts
Speaker 8: sneaking up about this stuff because it's very serious and
Speaker 8: what you described on TikTok is absolutely outrageous about the
Speaker 8: ice agent.

Speaker 1: And it is Monday. It is eight oh five. It
Speaker 1: is time for money Monday with Brian James from all
Speaker 1: Worth Financial. Brian James, welcome back to the program, my friend,
Speaker 1: good to talk to you. Good morning, good morning, glad
Speaker 1: to be here. Thanks once again for the opportunity to
Speaker 1: talk to you, you and your listeners. Well, the first
Speaker 1: topic got me a little worried. Now, just because someone
Speaker 1: thinks it may happen doesn't necessarily mean that they're relying
Speaker 1: on car You know, concrete facts and information. But I'm
Speaker 1: a little frightened by fifty one percent of Americans worrying
Speaker 1: about a stock market crash, you know, as opposed to
Speaker 1: like a correction or a downturn or something. But I
Speaker 1: mean a crash is a significant, like massive life changing
Speaker 1: ruining phenomenon. Yeah, it all depends on how you react
Speaker 1: to these things too.
Speaker 10: Now I would point out that none of these things,
Speaker 10: none of these forecasts are ever based on factual information,
Speaker 10: which is what makes them forecasts. We never know what's coming,
Speaker 10: that's just these are just measurements of what mood are
Speaker 10: we in. So one of this is that a new
Speaker 10: study is out showing that fifty one percent of people
Speaker 10: are expecting a market crash. I also would remind everyone
Speaker 10: that the same percentage of people were expecting the second
Speaker 10: leg down from the recession, the brief recession that occurred
Speaker 10: during the COVID period that was five years ago, and
Speaker 10: they spent probablyably two or three years waiting for that
Speaker 10: to kick in, and it never did, thank you. We
Speaker 10: just talk about things until they happen or don't happen.
Speaker 10: That way, see, because you know, there always is going
Speaker 10: to be some kind of downturn at some point. So
Speaker 10: if you keep the conversation going on for enough years,
Speaker 10: then at some point you can say, see, I told
Speaker 10: you so exactly. I've been talking about rain for the
Speaker 10: better part of a week, Brian, and look, lo and behold,
Speaker 10: I was right last night.
Speaker 1: Go pick this all up. I'm no, you kept this
Speaker 1: all up. But some of this, this this expression of concern,
Speaker 1: I guess is predicated on the tariff situation, which I
Speaker 1: know we're going to be talking a little bit more about.
Speaker 1: But tariffs have got people a little spooked and jittery.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've saw some really frightening uh statistics about
Speaker 1: the impact on car buying and how much it may
Speaker 1: increase the price of cars, which I know is on
Speaker 1: your short list of talk about today. Maybe ten thousand
Speaker 1: dollars more, depending But it's you know, when you looked
Speaker 1: at the breakdown of what's in an American car, you know,
Speaker 1: American car made in Detroit, you're like, actually, oh, it's
Speaker 1: not it's like forty to sixty percent imported. Stop.
Speaker 10: Just because the CEO's rear end sits in an office
Speaker 10: that is within the bounds of the United States doesn't
Speaker 10: mean that that particular company's cars are exempt. For example,
Speaker 10: terriff exposure for GMS about forty five percent, twenty five
Speaker 10: percent for Stalantis, the artist formerly known as Chrysler, and
Speaker 10: about twenty percent for four. So even in US made cars,
Speaker 10: about thirty five percent of parts are not compliant with
Speaker 10: the US Mexico Canada agreement from a few years ago
Speaker 10: that Trump put in place but doesn't seem to like anymore.
Speaker 10: So the estimates rise from you know, anywhere around twenty
Speaker 10: seven hundred to five thousand dollars maybe in some extreme scenarios,
Speaker 10: like you mentioned, ten thousand dollars in the added costs
Speaker 10: of paying.
Speaker 1: For these arguments.
Speaker 10: The thing to look at, though, is these aren't supposed
Speaker 10: to kick in for a couple of weeks. These are
Speaker 10: still negotiating tactics. Maybe something changes between now in April
Speaker 10: second or third, whenever theing's actually kick in, but remains
Speaker 10: to be seen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the scenario does change,
Speaker 1: and maybe whoever he's asking for something from will capitulate
Speaker 1: and give it to some of Trump's terms and that
Speaker 1: we won't have to go through the tariff struggle because
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you know it, I know it
Speaker 1: they're going to make the price that things go up.
Speaker 1: There's just there's nothing you can get around that, whether
Speaker 1: they're fair or not, I mean reciprocal. I understand the
Speaker 1: fairness argument because we're having our things subject to tariffs
Speaker 1: over on their side of the ledger of whatever country
Speaker 1: is receiving them and slapping the tariffs on why they're
Speaker 1: doing that. I don't know the genesis or basis behind
Speaker 1: any of it, but you know, if this isn't trying
Speaker 1: to create an even playing field, that argument at least
Speaker 1: passes Mustard. But you can't get around the practical effect
Speaker 1: that they're going to make things more expensive. So and
Speaker 1: that's we don't need that right now, Brian.
Speaker 10: That is not helping, of course no, But well I
Speaker 10: would throw out there though, if you were one interesting
Speaker 10: thing I've noticed over the past couple months, because I've
Speaker 10: noticed my phones haven't ranged very much.
Speaker 1: People aren't too spooked by this.
Speaker 10: Some of it is because there's a decent amount of
Speaker 10: people out there who feel that the person in charge
Speaker 10: right now is exactly who they wanted, and this is
Speaker 10: just the pain we have to go for we have
Speaker 10: to deal with. But other people are simply looking and
Speaker 10: I would say most people are simply looking at their
Speaker 10: investment statements.
Speaker 1: If you are sitting on a.
Speaker 10: Properly diversified portfolio, you're not down that much because where
Speaker 10: the United States is proactively making changes to present ourselves
Speaker 10: differently to the world and the overall economic situation on
Speaker 10: this planet that is causing so some of this is
Speaker 10: pretty much self inflicted. We're going to grumble about tariffs
Speaker 10: and all these things, well, then yeah, the stock market's
Speaker 10: going to get a little squirrely. That creates an opportunity
Speaker 10: for other places. So therefore, as we're sitting here right now,
Speaker 10: the S and P five hundred is down about five
Speaker 10: percent for the year. The Nasdaq is an official correction territory,
Speaker 10: down ten percent a year.
Speaker 1: Today.
Speaker 10: International stocks, which I've spent the last ten years trying
Speaker 10: to convince people not to dump, are up nine percent.
Speaker 10: Our merging market funds are up about four and a
Speaker 10: half percent. So if you have a diversified portfolio, you're
Speaker 10: probably about even for the year. Despite some of the scariest, craziest,
Speaker 10: most unsettling headlines I've seen, so mostly the market is quiet.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's interesting you put that in the
Speaker 1: context of your phone not ringing very much, because, as
Speaker 1: you pointed out so many times over the years, your
Speaker 1: phone will ring a lot when it hits the fan.
Speaker 1: In some way, you got a you know, precipitous drop,
Speaker 1: and the S and P five hundred or something. People
Speaker 1: get all wigged out and like, should I sell? Should
Speaker 1: I sell? And that's what you're you're a counselor as
Speaker 1: a financial planner, You're you're a talker off of a
Speaker 1: ledge kind of guy, exactly.
Speaker 10: And that's what we talk about. We talked about how
Speaker 10: are we going to deal with these things? Then we
Speaker 10: also put it in context of history. Something else I've
Speaker 10: been boning up on is what happens, what has happened
Speaker 10: during some of the scariest historical times we've had here
Speaker 10: and then the next closest one. And I don't mean
Speaker 10: to prognosticate anything here, but World War Two obviously was
Speaker 10: a reshuffling of the deck in terms of how the
Speaker 10: world gets along with each other. Nineteen forty one, the
Speaker 10: S and P five hundred was down somewhere between ten
Speaker 10: and fifteen percent. That was when we first stepped into
Speaker 10: that fray, and the unknown became the talk of the day.
Speaker 1: We have no idea what's coming out of this.
Speaker 10: Nineteen forty two, forty three, forty four, and forty five
Speaker 10: were each up a minimum of fifteen to twenty percent.
Speaker 10: So if you own stocks through that entire period, you
Speaker 10: did just fine. You weren't comfortable, you weren't happy, but
Speaker 10: you didn't lose money.
Speaker 1: I did not know that. That's interesting.
Speaker 10: It's kind of mine, Bob, and think about it, because
Speaker 10: all that means when wherever we have craziness, we don't
Speaker 10: root for this stuff. But generally speaking, American companies historically
Speaker 10: have been the best ever at figuring out about how
Speaker 10: to profit off of something. So remember the stories from
Speaker 10: World War Two about how factories pivoted to making instead
Speaker 10: of cars, they were making tanks. Instead of we're creating tires,
Speaker 10: they were making treads for the equipment we needed overseas.
Speaker 10: It's just a catalyst the market will pivot to wherever
Speaker 10: the profits can be made. We saw the same thing
Speaker 10: when COVID kicked in and everybody had to go out
Speaker 10: by a second set of computers to take home so
Speaker 10: we can all work from home. We all never heard
Speaker 10: of zoom before. Now zoom is pretty much uiquitous I'm
Speaker 10: looking at you on it right now. These are just
Speaker 10: that create an opportunity for somebody to make money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I guess the other component is when Trump
Speaker 1: announced these tariffs. And I'm not sure there's a direct
Speaker 1: straight line you can draw, but a lot of very
Speaker 1: major businesses, you know, large multi billion dollar companies, including
Speaker 1: autobile manufacturers, So they're going to start moving some production here.
Speaker 1: And that's exactly the point Trump was trying to accomplish
Speaker 1: the return of American manufacturing jobs. And maybe it'll it'll
Speaker 1: bear fruit. I guess the question is when you look
Speaker 1: at the component parts of these American autobiles, as we
Speaker 1: just talked about, can we get those component parts to
Speaker 1: return or be manufactured here, and if so, how long
Speaker 1: would something like that take and how long will it
Speaker 1: or how much will it cost?
Speaker 10: As you always point out that we are an expensive
Speaker 10: place to produce anything because we've got an awful lot
Speaker 10: of rules and things in place.
Speaker 1: Some of that is being dismantled right now.
Speaker 10: You know, there were some announcements made over the weekend
Speaker 10: about some steps he's taken to weekend unions, some first
Speaker 10: shots fired across the valle at the labor market here
Speaker 10: in the United States. That's not necessarily going to go
Speaker 10: well because a lot of those people were his supporters
Speaker 10: and they're having some of the rugs pulled out from
Speaker 10: under them. But if we're going to manufacture parts here,
Speaker 10: and this is all about making the United States more profitable,
Speaker 10: he's got to look at the cost of good soul.
Speaker 10: What does it cost to produce this stuff? If just
Speaker 10: bringing the jobs back on shore isn't the only step
Speaker 10: that's true.
Speaker 1: That is true, and we know all day long it's
Speaker 1: impossible to even the playing field from a production cost
Speaker 1: standpoint when you are dealing with countries that have just
Speaker 1: practically dictatorial control over the working conditions, and quite often
Speaker 1: they're poor and the people do not get paid very much.
Speaker 1: So that in and of itself is kind of a
Speaker 1: It's a drag on doing business in the United States.
Speaker 1: That's why everybody moved over to China for so long.
Speaker 1: We can give you embraced China as a trading partner.
Speaker 1: They have inexpensive labor and they're welcoming. They're happy to
Speaker 1: open manufacturing facilities and get that the skids greazed for that,
Speaker 1: and then next thing you know, we find that we're
Speaker 1: not making anything here when it all hits a fan,
Speaker 1: like during the pandemic that was a frightened wi cold
Speaker 1: water does to reality. I think I'd rather pay more
Speaker 1: for something if knowing that it was made here and
Speaker 1: that we have a steady supply of it, you know,
Speaker 1: then I have to rely on what might very well
Speaker 1: be our arch enemy in a conflict to make it.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think philosophically you'd have a lot of people
Speaker 10: agreeing with that. But on the other hand, the market
Speaker 10: and the price of any given stock is based off
Speaker 10: of how profitable can that company be going forward. Philosophically
Speaker 10: we can say, yeah, I want to buy stuff from here,
Speaker 10: but that's going to have an impact on the price
Speaker 10: as well.
Speaker 1: All right, well, we'll stop contemplating our navels. We'll bring
Speaker 1: Brian James back. Talk a little bit about futures dropping
Speaker 1: among the tariffiars and people. I guess from a good
Speaker 1: stand thing they're adding to their rainy day fund, which
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess Brian James thinks is a good idea.
Speaker 1: More with money Monday's Brian James. After I mentioned my
Speaker 1: dear friends at Bud Herbert Motors get in touch with
Speaker 1: but Herbert for all the lawn equipment you need. They
Speaker 1: have the best. They only carry world class brands. John,
Speaker 1: they got ex Mark mower, Steel Handa power equipment. That's
Speaker 1: where I got my professional level Honda push mower, last
Speaker 1: one I'll ever have to buy. It's built that well.
Speaker 1: Said the Herbert family. You will be working with a
Speaker 1: Herbert family member, so they're going to make sure you
Speaker 1: get the right piece of lawn equipment that you're looking for.
Speaker 1: There know everything there is to know about the equipment
Speaker 1: that they sell, delivered to your door, and they service
Speaker 1: what they sell. You can't get that kind of service
Speaker 1: from a box store. And I had a terrible box
Speaker 1: store experience, which is why I'm so pleased that a
Speaker 1: good friend of mine steer me to Bud Herbert Motors.
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm blessed to be in a position
Speaker 1: to steer you to Bud Herbert Motors. Tell the Herbert family,

Speaker 1: Swift all worse financials. Brian James doing money Monday, continuing
Speaker 1: our discussion, a little bit about future here. Just pulled
Speaker 1: up the Wall Street Journal's web page and dows down
Speaker 1: about zero point sixty seven. Future wise, it looks like
Speaker 1: one point down for SMP five hundred, NASDAC about almost
Speaker 1: a point and a half, and the headline upper left
Speaker 1: hand corner global stocks slump as concerns mount over US tariffs.
Speaker 1: Brian was he not there anymore? I don't see his
Speaker 1: little photograph in the pickup or the box there. Joe, Okay,
Speaker 1: he's not there. He disappeared. Brian James went running and hiding.
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to him anyway. Apparently, US
Speaker 1: Savings Rates wrote in Rose in February, for the second
Speaker 1: straight month, Americans rebuilding their rainy day funds after the
Speaker 1: holiday shopping season. It's the article that he provided me
Speaker 1: for my insight in your edification. Savings rates up to
Speaker 1: four point six percent last month from four point three
Speaker 1: in January and only three point three in December. They
Speaker 1: say a low savings right usually means consumers would have
Speaker 1: to reduce spending at some point to rebuild their savings,
Speaker 1: which slows the economy. So the current savings rate below
Speaker 1: normal but not accessively so arranged from about five to
Speaker 1: six percent in a decade before the pandemic. So and
Speaker 1: I've always heard that, you know, from a financial standing
Speaker 1: plan point, you know, try to sock away some money
Speaker 1: to cover you for the rainy day. You never know
Speaker 1: when it's going to hit the fan. I had a
Speaker 1: friend of mine just lost his job the other day.
Speaker 1: I think it was unanticipated, but it does happen. So
Speaker 1: making sure you have some money socked away. And I'm
Speaker 1: not sure the amount. One of the things I wanted
Speaker 1: to ask Brian was how many months worth of daily
Speaker 1: savings or our money you should have socked away in
Speaker 1: that savings account. Anyhow? Is that him back again, Joe?
Speaker 1: You're trying to get a hold of him, all right, Well,
Speaker 1: you kind of got me off guard. I know it's
Speaker 1: not your fault, Joe, because he just kind of disappeared
Speaker 1: but left me without a topic. So I thought we'd
Speaker 1: be filling up this half of an hour anyway, one thing.
Speaker 1: I did what I get to since we were talking
Speaker 1: about Democrats and their policies and not seem to be
Speaker 1: able to articulate any strategy to deal with Republicans other
Speaker 1: than scream and yell and pull their hair out over
Speaker 1: really things that don't make any sense. Kind of a
Speaker 1: theme this morning out on the heels of that ridiculous
Speaker 1: Tesla protest. Elon Musk isn't a fascist, it's definitionally he's
Speaker 1: the polar opposite of it. Brian was talking about that
Speaker 1: reducing rules and regulations. That's what stagnates an economy, it
Speaker 1: slows it down, and those rules and regulations are telling
Speaker 1: you how to run your business. That's what fascists do.
Speaker 1: So when you've got an administration that's in there that's
Speaker 1: doing its best to get rid of the burden of
Speaker 1: ridiculous regulations, you are dealing with an administration that is
Speaker 1: the polar opposite of fascism. So get your definition straight
Speaker 1: and try to make some sense of why going after
Speaker 1: Elon Musk and Tesla's makes any sense whatsoever. I Brian there,
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 13: Looking at you and hearing you the whole time, and
Speaker 13: we just got done talking about how great zoom was
Speaker 13: and what a catalyst it was, and then here we go, so.
Speaker 14: I think that I'll take the falter jinxing.
Speaker 1: Then I go, that's okay. I'm glad he came back.
Speaker 1: I was just getting rid of launch into another discussion
Speaker 1: about the politics when we find ourselves. But as I
Speaker 1: was mentioned, thinking we were going to be talking about
Speaker 1: the global stock slamp, concerns mount over US tariff. Just
Speaker 1: an update on the Wall Street Journal. Across the board,
Speaker 1: you know, futures are down. The worst down right now
Speaker 1: is NASDAC at one and a half, but the rest
Speaker 1: of them are down about a point, maybe a little
Speaker 1: bit under dal Jones Industrials this point seventy three.
Speaker 17: So this is just.
Speaker 1: Didn't they factor in the market already that these these
Speaker 1: tariffs are going to kick in?
Speaker 14: Brian, Yeah, and that's why we've seen the volatility. Remember
Speaker 14: we get we're having lately, we're having.
Speaker 13: About two days of down one percent, you know, down
Speaker 13: one one and a half percent, and then we'll be
Speaker 13: down three percent and then we get a chunk of
Speaker 13: it back because the market will decide that they're something
Speaker 13: out there, some shiny object that it likes, and it'll
Speaker 13: bring it back, So we are anticipating these these tariffs
Speaker 13: kicking in, and then we are celebrating what it looks
Speaker 13: like they're not going to kick in tomorrow. At some
Speaker 13: level of this, Brian is going to be saber rattling
Speaker 13: because it is a negotiation tactic. Remember what Donald Trump thinks,
Speaker 13: he's the best in the world at that's making a deal.
Speaker 13: So a lot of this is I'm going to do
Speaker 13: something terrible to you in a month unless you act
Speaker 13: the way that I want you to act. And in
Speaker 13: some cases he's getting some concessions there. Remember our first
Speaker 13: very first discussion about this, probably a month and a
Speaker 13: half ago, where the tariffs that they were they were
Speaker 13: going to levy against Canada that went away overnight, became
Speaker 13: something else as the negotiation continued. But the way he
Speaker 13: stated it at the very outset of the discussion is
Speaker 13: very different from what's happening now. So some of this
Speaker 13: is saber rattling by both sides. No country on the
Speaker 13: face of the Earth can afford to completely seclude itself.
Speaker 14: From the rest of the world.
Speaker 13: Now that our every every company's customer base is the
Speaker 13: entire planet, so there won't be any endgame. We are
Speaker 13: just going to take our ball and go home and
Speaker 13: only sell to American customers.
Speaker 14: That is not possible.
Speaker 1: Right on one of my favorite movies, Costablanca, one of
Speaker 1: the lines isolationism is no longer a practical foreign policy,
Speaker 1: And I think that's certainly the case in matters of business,
Speaker 1: international business and real quick I read the article in
Speaker 1: the savings rates have gone, people who are like putting,
Speaker 1: you know, replenishing their savings accounts. As a financial planner,
Speaker 1: is there a certain and I don't mean a dollar figure,
Speaker 1: but based upon one's earnings and one's living expenses, is
Speaker 1: there a certain number of months worth of money that
Speaker 1: is recommended to sock away just in case.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 14: I think that's a great important discussion to have.
Speaker 12: And for people who are.
Speaker 13: Who lead really really simple lives and there's not a
Speaker 13: whole lot going on at the moment, I would a
Speaker 13: minimum of three months. I would say more like six months.
Speaker 13: If you've got kids and a mortgage in the mix,
Speaker 13: and you have two jobs, you know, two high paying jobs,
Speaker 13: that kind of thing you might want to look at
Speaker 13: more like twelve months, because something crazy like that could
Speaker 13: have significant amount of impact on your situation. One thought
Speaker 13: I would throw out there. I believe personally the ideal
Speaker 13: savings rate is zero percent.
Speaker 14: The reason I say that is.
Speaker 13: Because it should have been planned for a long time ago,
Speaker 13: and if you've got that kind of money socked aside,
Speaker 13: you don't need to be putting more into it. So
Speaker 13: I have not changed my savings rate in probably two decades,
Speaker 13: because we solved the emergency prone problem a while ago,
Speaker 13: and ever since then I focused on getting kids through
Speaker 13: college and our retirement.
Speaker 12: And so forth.
Speaker 14: I don't believe you need to put.
Speaker 13: Cash into your savings account every single month. If you're
Speaker 13: already there, it's just piling more money aside, and.
Speaker 1: It's not invested, I mean, other than bank interest rate,
Speaker 1: which we all know doesn't pay very much compared to
Speaker 1: what your yields might be in the market investment.
Speaker 9: Exactly.
Speaker 13: I want to make sure people didn't hear me, did
Speaker 13: not just hear me say that you don't need an
Speaker 13: emergency count.
Speaker 14: The point us to know what you need and then
Speaker 14: know when you've accomplished a goal so that you can
Speaker 14: move on to the next goal.
Speaker 1: But that's if first order of business in terms of
Speaker 1: establishing a financial plan is to get that base amount
Speaker 1: away so you can then invest cam I right on
Speaker 1: that that is.
Speaker 13: The oil in the engine, because we can do magic
Speaker 13: with the long term investments. But when the ship goes sideways,
Speaker 13: is it occasionally will you lose your job or you know,
Speaker 13: the stock market takes a chunk away a lot of times,
Speaker 13: some of those that happened all at the same time.
Speaker 14: You have to have something to keep you afloat, or
Speaker 14: you'll have to dip.
Speaker 13: Into your long term savings, which probably are taking a
Speaker 13: bit of a hit at the moment. That what I'm
Speaker 13: describing is pretty much happening right now. People are getting
Speaker 13: laid off and they're having to sell at a loss
Speaker 13: to cover the bills because they didn't have an emergency fund.
Speaker 1: And then there's you know, the danger of having to
Speaker 1: pay you know, the taxes and the penalties and things
Speaker 1: like that by tapping into your four h one K.
Speaker 1: So try to avoid that, get that savings padded really well,
Speaker 1: and then you can exhale and just watch your investments grow.
Speaker 1: Brian James, Monday, Monday, I appreciate all Worth Financial loaning
Speaker 1: you out. Sorry for the glitch there, but we got
Speaker 1: back on track and got the information out for my listeners.
Speaker 1: I'll look forward to talking to you again next week.
Speaker 1: I hope you have a wonderful week, my friend, have
Speaker 1: a good week talking next Monday, eight twenty seven, fifty
Speaker 1: five care see de talk station, don't go away, local stories,
Speaker 1: Maybe kick a couple of phone calls before we get
Speaker 1: too Ira Melman, who's going to do a Borders in
Speaker 1: Immigration Empower Youth seminar. He's joining the program at eight forty.
Speaker 1: Looking forward to him and him on the show.
Speaker 2: Be right back fifty five krc oh.
Speaker 1: Jennin with the forecast, a break from the rain. Happy
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 3: So we've got overcast guys today with the high fifty
Speaker 3: four overnight down to thirty five clouds, will decrease, sunny
Speaker 3: skies tomorrow with the high fifty six forty six overnight
Speaker 3: with just a few clouds, and then a warmer, windy
Speaker 3: Wednesday with going all the way up to seventy seven
Speaker 3: fifty one degrees.
Speaker 1: Right now, let's hear about traffic from.
Speaker 7: The uc Hout Traffic Center. Don't let injury slow you down.
Speaker 7: The u S Health orthopedic sends quotes. Medicine experts can
Speaker 7: help keep you moving. Schedule the same day appointment at
Speaker 7: u see health dot com. Cruiser're working with the wreck
Speaker 7: he's found one twenty nine the southbound seventy five ramp
Speaker 7: that traffic is just about backed up to seven forty seven.
Speaker 7: Sounds like they're going to divert hut traffic to Cincinnati
Speaker 7: Daton Road in order to get things moving again. Northbound
Speaker 7: seventy five that continues to run over a fifteen minute
Speaker 7: delay between Donaldson and downtown. Chuck Ingramot to defied Kroc
Speaker 7: the talk station.
Speaker 1: It's a thirty one to fifty five KRCV talk station
Speaker 1: being a happy Monday. Five three seven nine fifty five hundred,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and eight two three talk oh Tom five
Speaker 1: fifty on et and T punds. Hey if you care
Speaker 1: to call otherwise. Got some local stories here the East
Speaker 1: Palestine train dearrailment. They got a trial today. Norfolk Southern
Speaker 1: wants two other companies to help them pay for the
Speaker 1: six hundred million dollar class action lawsuits settlement over the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three trained arralment. So the railroad fial motion
Speaker 1: to that sets the goats trial today to try and
Speaker 1: force the railcar owner, a company called GATX, and then
Speaker 1: also the chemical manufacturer on Oxyvinyls to share the cost
Speaker 1: of the settlement. Norfolk Southern believes those two companies are
Speaker 1: partly responsible. U This does not impact any and in
Speaker 1: any way the amount of money the residents were received.
Speaker 1: Simply a question of where the money's going to come from,
Speaker 1: So this only impacts which company has to write a
Speaker 1: check to pay for the class action settlement. Norfolk Southern
Speaker 1: lost a similar lawsuit for the environmental cleanup that they
Speaker 1: had to pay a billion dollars. Norfolk Southern was on
Speaker 1: the hook for a billion dollars, so they tried to
Speaker 1: force GATX and oxy Vinyls to help pony up for
Speaker 1: that and they lost, so it's probably riding on the
Speaker 1: wall for them. Norfolk Southern argues that GATX bears some
Speaker 1: responsibility for the derailment because it owned the railcar that
Speaker 1: was filled with plastic pellets that caused the derailment. That's
Speaker 1: the one that had the bearing that caught on fire.
Speaker 1: And they believe oxy Vinyl should pay because the railroad
Speaker 1: says chemical manufacturer provided inconsistent and inaccurate information about its
Speaker 1: vinyl chloride before officials decided to release and burn it,
Speaker 1: which is obviously what led to the billion dollars worth
Speaker 1: of cleanup that had to happen. Both GATX and oxy
Speaker 1: vinyls so it will be ridiculous to hold them responsible
Speaker 1: for the derailment because Norfolk Southern operated and inspected the
Speaker 1: train and all the cars, as well as was responsible
Speaker 1: for delivering their cargoes safely. GATX said it complied with
Speaker 1: all relevant regulations for taking care of its cars. They said,
Speaker 1: even if the car had been damaged years earlier, because
Speaker 1: it sat in the middle of floodwaters from Hurricane Harvey,
Speaker 1: the railroad should have spotted the problem and repaired it.
Speaker 1: NTSB said the crash was caused by the failure of
Speaker 1: an overheating bearing. Now, the railroad sensor spotted the overheating,
Speaker 1: but it didn't reach a critical temperature and trigger and
Speaker 1: alarm until just before the derailment, so they had very
Speaker 1: little time to stop the train and we all know
Speaker 1: what happened after that. Norfolk Southern is the one that
Speaker 1: recommended the vent and burn operation that released the vinyl
Speaker 1: chloride into everybody's homes and neighborhoods. But the claim the
Speaker 1: claim is that they had had beforehand suggested that chemical
Speaker 1: reaction could happen and caused the tank cars to to explode. However,
Speaker 1: National Transportation and Safety Board confirmed in its investigation that
Speaker 1: it was unnecessary to release all that stuff into the
Speaker 1: air because the tank cars were starting to cool off,
Speaker 1: and the railroad failed to listen to advice from oxyvinals
Speaker 1: experts or share their opinions with officials who made the decision.
Speaker 1: So trial again kicks off the day it's expected to
Speaker 1: last a couple of weeks. Immigrations and Custom agents arrested
Speaker 1: two people working at a construction site at the Butler
Speaker 1: County Jail this week. Sheriff Richard Jones announced via social
Speaker 1: media the two subcontractors work on a construction project at
Speaker 1: the jail arrested by ICE officials. They were arrested after
Speaker 1: deputies reviewed their identification, which included a driver's license, passport,
Speaker 1: and social security guard before entering the jail's construction site.
Speaker 1: According to the press release in the Sheriff's office, upon
Speaker 1: further review of the documents, it was determined that the
Speaker 1: two workers were in fact illegal aliens. An ICE agent
Speaker 1: conducted the interviews with the two individuals, who admitted that
Speaker 1: they were in the United States illegally. Constructions company that
Speaker 1: hired the two subcontractors believed their documents were authentic, according
Speaker 1: to Sheriff Jones, but he is warning employers to be cautious.
Speaker 1: So there are fake documents out there, and you know
Speaker 1: Elon Musk getting rid of this live so security numbers.
Speaker 1: We got time for that one, Jeff, No no way, Sorry,
Speaker 1: Jay apologize. We got Ira Melman coming up waiting in
Speaker 1: the wings Power Youth Seminar on borders and immigrations. We'll
Speaker 1: hear a little bit about that coming up next.
Speaker 4: This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio Stage.
Speaker 1: Janna nine. One of forecasts. We've got overcast skies today,
Speaker 1: no rain, fifty four for the high clouds decrease over night,
Speaker 1: thirty five for fifty six are high tomorrow, sunny skies,
Speaker 1: a few clouds every night down to forty six and
Speaker 1: a seventy seven high on Wednesday. Also, this is going
Speaker 1: to be windy as well, at least there's no rain there.
Speaker 1: Fifty one degrees. Right now, it's time for a traffic update.
Speaker 1: Chuck from the UCUF Traffic Center.
Speaker 7: Don't let injuries slogan you dow dow the UC Health
Speaker 7: Orthopedic Sandsports medicine experts can help keep you moving. Schedule
Speaker 7: US same day appointment at uc health dot com. They're
Speaker 7: diverting traffic eastbound one twenty nine off at Cincinnati Dayton
Speaker 7: Road thanks to a wreck. Before you got the seventy
Speaker 7: five southbound seventy five breakwads continue through walkmud northbound slows
Speaker 7: between Donaldson and Downtown, then again between Mitchell and Town Street.
Speaker 7: Shot ingram on fifty five KRE scene the talk station.
Speaker 1: A thirty nine I fifty five Krcity talk station Jay.
Speaker 1: If you want to call back, phone lines are open.
Speaker 1: Couldn't reach Iram Melman. Joe tried multiple times. He's not
Speaker 1: answering his phone. Doesn't mean it's not an important seminar
Speaker 1: taking place tomorrow night, seven pm. We must prevent future
Speaker 1: administrations from opening our borders. So he's the media director
Speaker 1: for Federation of American Immigration Reform FARE and he's going
Speaker 1: to be discussing the impact of the open borders during
Speaker 1: the Biden administration, reviewed policy changes that Trump has made
Speaker 1: in the first over months or first months of his administration,
Speaker 1: how they've substantially curb mass illegal immigration, which clearly they have.
Speaker 1: And he'll also talk about legislation that has to be
Speaker 1: passed to prevent future administration from implementing an open borders policy.
Speaker 1: You know, this is something that the Republicans and Democrats
Speaker 1: are going to get together on, and you'd think they
Speaker 1: would given that, you know, they're talking about Democrats not
Speaker 1: having really a vision for their party. Maybe they should
Speaker 1: embrace something the vast majority of American people want, which
Speaker 1: is secure borders. You know, briefs bring some sense of
Speaker 1: logic and reason of the borders process, you know, make
Speaker 1: it easier to deny people access to our country since
Speaker 1: our social welfare state is collapsing under its own weight,
Speaker 1: let alone the weight of additional twenty million or so
Speaker 1: people coming in. So empower you America dot org can
Speaker 1: register and watch from the it's a virtual only it apparently,
Speaker 1: so register to attend virtually empower you America dot org
Speaker 1: for that one. So it should be a fascinating discussion.
Speaker 1: And I just the Democrats keep going back to Donald
Speaker 1: Trump stopped the legislation that would have solved the problem.
Speaker 1: The legislation that had been proposed at the time did
Speaker 1: not stop the problem. It just enshrined it. The sort
Speaker 1: of open borders reality So anyhow five one three, seven,
Speaker 1: nine fifty five eight hundred eight two three talk, there's Jay, Jay,
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling back, my friend. Welcome to the morning show.
Speaker 17: Hey, thanks, Brian.
Speaker 15: Hey one or two point out that I had heard
Speaker 15: recently that Trump had put out a warning to the
Speaker 15: automakers and said, you guys better not raise your prices
Speaker 15: because of these tariffs.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 15: I thought that's what communists did. I think that's what
Speaker 15: conservatives did, was to set the prices and all the
Speaker 15: rest of it. I understand why he's doing it, but
Speaker 15: I really think the optics are terrible. So I got
Speaker 15: a better idea for him. Why doesn't he tell the automakers. Look,
Speaker 15: I understand I'm putting pressure on your on your cost
Speaker 15: of your products. So I'm going to get us out
Speaker 15: of the cafe standards, and which means corporate average fuel
Speaker 15: efficiency standards that have been in place under the EPA.
Speaker 15: So the EPA. So as a result, for the listeners,
Speaker 15: what this means is, if you're Ford and you're making
Speaker 15: pickup trucks and SUVs that maybe get seventeen twenty twenty
Speaker 15: five miles to the gallon, the federal government says none, no, no, no,
Speaker 15: your average fuel efficiency for the fleet that you make
Speaker 15: for your product needs to be pick a number thirty five.
Speaker 15: So that forces them to make evs whether anybody wants
Speaker 15: to buy them or not. And then it also requires
Speaker 15: them to purchase carbon offset credits from Tesla or other
Speaker 15: EV manufacturers, so they'll have to give their profit to
Speaker 15: EV manufacturers to allow them to stay in business, which
Speaker 15: is a really bad idea. So maybe Trump ought to say,
Speaker 15: cafe standards are no more. We're going to let the
Speaker 15: free market decide what you want to buy, and therefore
Speaker 15: on shackle the hands of Ford and GM and whoever
Speaker 15: that you don't have to make these these EV's that
Speaker 15: are stacking up that nobody wants to buy, just to
Speaker 15: stay in business.
Speaker 14: Isn't that a better idea?
Speaker 1: I agree? I agree completely. And also then we won't
Speaker 1: have to pay incentives for you'd go out and buy
Speaker 1: evs in the form of tax incentives like seventy five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, go and buy an e Geto a Knox,
Speaker 1: you know, on the on the taxpayer expense. You're doing
Speaker 1: something you might otherwise do because well, it makes that
Speaker 1: vehicle become affordable artificially, so to at great expense of
Speaker 1: the American economy. So I agree.
Speaker 15: And do you know what's odd is I got to
Speaker 15: be a little bit if I was to be honest
Speaker 15: with the right wing media. Sometimes when Trump says stuff
Speaker 15: like that, and I'm a fan of Breitbart and Newsmax
Speaker 15: and some other right wing media that that I think
Speaker 15: this gets it right more than wrong. The silence on
Speaker 15: our side sometimes when Trump does something like this is disappointing.
Speaker 15: It's it's okay to call him out when he does
Speaker 15: something wrong and to be as critical. Could you imagine
Speaker 15: if Joe Biden did that, our side would be on fire.
Speaker 15: And sometimes I think our side can be just as
Speaker 15: slanted as the left whenever they refuse to call it
Speaker 15: out for.
Speaker 8: What it is.
Speaker 15: But when a sitting president tells private businesses, you better
Speaker 15: not raise your price based on this thing I did,
Speaker 15: something's out of balance.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it needs it needs to be addressed.
Speaker 1: I certainly appreciate your point on that, and I guess
Speaker 1: the only thing that I find it fault in that
Speaker 1: is when you recognize forty to sixty percent of a
Speaker 1: domestic produced automobile comes packed full is with four is
Speaker 1: foreign parts, and if the manufacturer is going to have
Speaker 1: to pay more for those parts to go into their
Speaker 1: domestically manufactured cars. They're going to have to raise the
Speaker 1: price if they're going to maintain some level of comparable
Speaker 1: level of profitability. So him to tell him to do
Speaker 1: that runs counter to the business reality that they're going
Speaker 1: to be facing because they're going to have to pay
Speaker 1: twenty let's say, twenty five percent more for wiring, harnesses
Speaker 1: or whatever other foreign manufactured part that's going into the car.
Speaker 15: And why just automakers, Why not air conditioner manufacturers? There
Speaker 15: anybody else making anything out of the loan?
Speaker 11: The luminum his steel, right, No, it's auto makers.
Speaker 15: It said, don't you guys raise your prices, which, now
Speaker 15: again we have government picking winners and losers, which I
Speaker 15: thought we voted against.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, just because Donald Trump tells them he doesn't
Speaker 1: want them to raise their prices doesn't mean that they
Speaker 1: have to listen to him. It isn't a law or
Speaker 1: an edict or regulation that's been passed.
Speaker 14: But I fully I understand.
Speaker 15: There's a lot of influence there coming out of the
Speaker 15: Oval Office, though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well you know, and listen, autobile manufacturers and
Speaker 1: their unions got him elected so I mean he does
Speaker 1: owe them something right back again, and they may take
Speaker 1: their ball with them the next election and you know,
Speaker 1: go back to the Democrats.
Speaker 8: So he work for them, not the.
Speaker 15: Other way around. He needs to remember that he's not
Speaker 15: the CEO anymore.
Speaker 8: He works for them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you all day on that one.
Speaker 12: Jay.
Speaker 1: Good to hear from me, Man, Thanks for calling back.
Speaker 1: I got one more segment coming up. Eight forty five
Speaker 1: fifty five cares that the talks day shall be right
Speaker 1: back KRC. Thinking about one more time. For the weather,
Speaker 1: we have overcast guys today and fifty four be the high.

Speaker 1: Shot ingram Mon fifty five K scene the talk station
Speaker 1: Hey forty nine about cair Ce talk station Happy Monday
Speaker 1: Tomorrow inside scoop at break bart noon, the Daniel Davis
Speaker 1: deep dive talking about tariffs, and you go back to
Speaker 1: Ontario Premier Doug Ford Rember he threatened twenty five percent
Speaker 1: retaliation of American energy exports because we import a lot
Speaker 1: of energy from Canada. And there's a great op ed
Speaker 1: by a guy named Mark Osterich, and I just read
Speaker 1: a couple segments of it to give you an indication
Speaker 1: of how stupid and insane all of this is. He's
Speaker 1: a founding part of a nonprofit consulting from Crane and
Speaker 1: Gray and an editor of the daily energy newsletter Grid Brief. Anyway,
Speaker 1: he points out in twenty twenty forty US imported twenty
Speaker 1: seven thousand, two hundred gigawatt hours of electricity from Canada,
Speaker 1: which is enough to cover twenty percent of New York
Speaker 1: supplier fifteen percent of New England's total winter load because
Speaker 1: we made building new power plants here nearly impossible and
Speaker 1: incentivized imported power through regulatory loopholes that allow us to
Speaker 1: ignore any emissions that happened outside the US. They don't
Speaker 1: count export emissions import virtue. Meanwhile, domestic energy projects in
Speaker 1: the Northeast stalls butter or collapse. We're sitting on four
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty nine billion tons of coal, two point
Speaker 1: nine trillion cubic feet of gas, and centuries of nuclear fuel.
Speaker 1: But in the US, building power plants now requires a
Speaker 1: legal team. In decades of hearings, we've turned power generation
Speaker 1: into a theater of guilt. We're producing energy in the
Speaker 1: United States is too sinful to permit, but importing it
Speaker 1: from somewhere else lets us feel purer. It's not policy,
Speaker 1: it's penance. In twenty one, New York shut down the
Speaker 1: Indian Point Nuclear Plant, one of its last sources of
Speaker 1: zero emissions base load power. Same year, the state began
Speaker 1: ramping up electricity imports from Canada to fill the gap
Speaker 1: seven thousand, six hundred gigawatt hours. Specifically, hydro electric power
Speaker 1: couldn't alone handle the demand, so Ontario's gas plants fired
Speaker 1: up to meet the demand, releasing an estimated one million
Speaker 1: tons of carbon dioxide, which is plant food. Because as
Speaker 1: emission occurred outside of the northern border, New York claimed
Speaker 1: to drop in its own energy sector emissions, and that's
Speaker 1: the game. When Canada's hydro facilities Canada Gas hydro faulters.
Speaker 1: Canada Gas steps in, but the emissions vanish on US
Speaker 1: climate ledgers. Vermont, importing over eighty percent of its electricity,
Speaker 1: Massachusetts and much of the rest of New England operate
Speaker 1: from the same playbook. The great operators they belong to
Speaker 1: imports around fifteen percent of its winter peak from Canada.
Speaker 1: When hydro output dropped eighteen percent due to drought, gas
Speaker 1: peaker plants and fossil fuels save the day. In twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three, alone, utilities in Quebec, Ontario New Brunswick generated
Speaker 1: an estimated thirteen point four million metric tons of carbon
Speaker 1: dioxide planted, none of which appear on the emissions ledgers
Speaker 1: of states Massachusetts and Vermont, despite their heavy reliance on
Speaker 1: imported power from those provinces. Meanwhile, the twelve hundred megawat
Speaker 1: Commonwealth wind project was canceled outright after the developer paid
Speaker 1: a fifty million dollars penalty to walk away due to
Speaker 1: well the financial infeasibility and permitting delays. This is not
Speaker 1: a glitch in the system. It is the system. I
Speaker 1: love this. A nineteen ninety nine rule made up and
Speaker 1: pulls out of someone's finer by the Environmental Protection Agency
Speaker 1: allows state to treat imported electricity as emissions free, regardless
Speaker 1: of how it's generated. It's a convenient accounting trick that
Speaker 1: lets politicians hit climate targets without reducing actual emissions. The
Speaker 1: same time. Domestic energy projects face a labyrinth of legal, regulatory,
Speaker 1: and activist roadblocks thanks to laws like Title VIV of
Speaker 1: the Clean Air Act and permitting system, and a permitting
Speaker 1: system that treats any new infrastructure as a threat until
Speaker 1: proven otherwise. We build a political culture that worships the
Speaker 1: optics of clean energy while punishing the act of actually
Speaker 1: producing it. Across the Northeast, domestic energy projects don't you
Speaker 1: just struggle. They're buried Offshore wind collapses under lawsuits over
Speaker 1: fishing rights and ocean views. Small modular reactors gather dust
Speaker 1: in regulatory limbo pipelines are killed over and wetlands nuclear
Speaker 1: plants drowning litigation. In twenty sixteen, New York vetoed the
Speaker 1: Constitution pipeline, leaving the Marcellus Shale untapped. Two years later,
Speaker 1: during a brutal colt snap, Massachusetts imported liquefied natural gas
Speaker 1: from Russia rather than lay pipe from Pennsylvania. A proposed
Speaker 1: forty two megawat biomass plant in Springfield, Massachusetts, was blocked
Speaker 1: on a technicality in twenty twenty one, after years of
Speaker 1: permit delays and concerns over environmental justice. Clean local energy
Speaker 1: was too controversial. Imported emission no comment. Altogether, the region
Speaker 1: has canceled enough projects to generate forty two thousand gigawat
Speaker 1: hours annually, more than fifty percent above the power that
Speaker 1: we imported from Canada in twenty twenty four. We're not
Speaker 1: out of energy. We've just outlawed reality. We pretend it's progress,
Speaker 1: We pretend the air is cleaner. We pretend that exporting
Speaker 1: emissions is environmentalism. It's not. It's theater for climate lobbies, campaigns, soundbites,
Speaker 1: and activists who measure success in press releases, not power output,
Speaker 1: the emissions remain, only the guilt is outsourced. So No,
Speaker 1: Ford's teriff threat isn't the story. It's just a headline.
Speaker 1: The real story is what made that threat possible. Our
Speaker 1: addiction to imported virtue, our refusal to build in a
Speaker 1: regulatory culture that punishes the very act of producing energy.
Speaker 1: We're not short on power, which is too sanctimonious to
Speaker 1: generate it amen exclamation point. And that's just Canada generating
Speaker 1: power view with their gas plants. Meanwhile, China and their
Speaker 1: coal plants providing us with all the parts and component
Speaker 1: parts that go into domestic automobiles as well as electric vehicles,
Speaker 1: which the climate left would love you to drive, unless,
Speaker 1: of course, it's a tessela, in which case you're an EZ.
Speaker 1: Does this all makeing sense to you? No, it doesn't.
