Speaker 1: Five o five at thirty five k r C Detalk Station.
Speaker 1: Happy Monday was a vacation wake me up when September
Speaker 1: you gotta wait a day. I guess Joe Strecker for
Speaker 1: that one. Happy Monday folks, Brian Thomas, You're glad to
Speaker 1: be and I hope you had a wonderful weekend. On
Speaker 1: a special thanks to the Clarmont Kindy Republican Club for
Speaker 1: letting me be present and facilitate the Flapjack breakfast on Saturday.
Speaker 1: Hit a really nice time, but it was kind of funny. Joe,
Speaker 1: did you lose your power all over the weekend? From
Speaker 1: the did you how long was it out? Just a
Speaker 1: couple of times. We were out for a full twenty
Speaker 1: four hours. But the Clarmont County Republican Flapjack event took
Speaker 1: place at the Clarmont County Airport where there was no power,
Speaker 1: so we were inside the airplane hangar. There's a couple
Speaker 1: of hundred people in there in the dark. It was hilarious.
Speaker 1: In order to read our notes, we had some great
Speaker 1: folks there. We had to use our cell phone flashlights
Speaker 1: just to even see our notes at the podium. So
Speaker 1: I you know, I had a nice time, and you know,
Speaker 1: a couple of gas, but nobody remembered anything other than
Speaker 1: the fact that we had that meeting in the dark,
Speaker 1: so interesting and fun thing that recarded me with the weekends.
Speaker 1: I hope you had a fun, nice time. Thankfully, our
Speaker 1: power came on after about twenty four hours, and our
Speaker 1: whole house generator worked quite nicely. I did to the
Speaker 1: neighbors a little service. I turned it off overnight because
Speaker 1: it sounds like a low, rumbling, idling lawnmower. That's about
Speaker 1: how loud it is. But in the middle of the
Speaker 1: night I thought that might be annoying, so off it
Speaker 1: went overnight, came up, woke up in the morning. Power
Speaker 1: still out, and I know some of the people still
Speaker 1: struggling with that. We've got millions of people still. I
Speaker 1: think I got millions of people without power down in
Speaker 1: the Florida and Georgia, North Carolina. Lord almighty boy, that
Speaker 1: place got whacked anyhow. Pictures and the death hole, just
Speaker 1: all the posts on Facebook, all the post on social media,
Speaker 1: but the damage that's been done and a number of
Speaker 1: people lost their lives. So prayers to those folks, And
Speaker 1: I always like to give a shout out to Matthew
Speaker 1: twenty five ministries. I kind of presume that they are.
Speaker 1: In fact they are. I just pulled up their website
Speaker 1: M twenty five m dot org. I know you get
Speaker 1: a return on your donation when you donate to Matthew
Speaker 1: twenty five, like zero overhead, So if you give them
Speaker 1: a buck, most all of that dollar will end up
Speaker 1: helping those folks impacted by the hurricane. So just one
Speaker 1: option among many. I just know that many organizations, as
Speaker 1: charitable as they may come across, one third or more
Speaker 1: of your dollar goes to maintain overhead, pay salaries and
Speaker 1: the like. So I always love to see that the
Speaker 1: dollars go to the wear to the folks that need them.
Speaker 1: Coming up on fifty five Case Morning Show, It's Monday,
Speaker 1: so we get money Monday. Christopher Smithman joins the program
Speaker 1: at seven thirty every Monday, former Vice mayor of the
Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati. Never know what he wants to rant about,
Speaker 1: but I always enjoy it. Money Monday. Brian James Another

Speaker 1: you some of our JT. Townshend on the Lincoln assassination.
Speaker 1: We'll talk with JT at eight forty. Love talking with you.
Speaker 1: Someone on your mind five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty,
Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk down
Speaker 1: five fifty on your AT and T phone. Just in
Speaker 1: time for the holiday season. It looks like the strike
Speaker 1: is going to take place. In rumblings about a strike
Speaker 1: along the East Coast ports and they say it's going
Speaker 1: to kick in tomorrow. Port strike East Coast in Gulf
Speaker 1: of Mexico will go ahead starting on Tuesday, corning to
Speaker 1: the International Longs in Sharman's Association. They said yesterday it
Speaker 1: will cause delays and snarl supply chains, the union said
Speaker 1: in a statement. In the United States, Maritime Alliance refuses
Speaker 1: to address a half century of wage subjugation. Maritime Alliance
Speaker 1: USMX represents employers of the East and Gulf Coast longshore industry.
Speaker 1: Union members go off the job. All ports from Maine
Speaker 1: to Texas will shut down, first coast wide strike since
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy seven. This would affect ports that handle about
Speaker 1: half of our nation's ocean shipping. Mmm. So I said
Speaker 1: no negotiations took place yesterday, none are scheduled for today,
Speaker 1: So it looks like the strike's gonna kick in tomorrow.
Speaker 1: White House didn't immediately comment. Earlier on Sunday, Biden said
Speaker 1: he did not intend to intervene to stop the walkout
Speaker 1: if they failed to secure a new contract by the
Speaker 1: deadline October first quote, Joe Biden, it's collective bargaining. I
Speaker 1: don't believe in Taft Hartley. Taft Hartley does allow the
Speaker 1: government national security threat or safety is indicated by the strike.
Speaker 1: If it threatens national security or safety, they can oppose
Speaker 1: an eighty day cooling off period under the federal Taft
Speaker 1: Hartley Act. Joe Biden says, not going to do that.
Speaker 1: I have to imagine it would threaten national security or safety.
Speaker 1: Half half the nation's ocean shipping ports. They say the
Speaker 1: strikes could stop flull of everything from food to autobiles
Speaker 1: at major ports. Business Roundtable represent a major US business leaders,
Speaker 1: said it was deeply concerned about the potential strike at
Speaker 1: the East and Gulf Coast ports. The group warned labor
Speaker 1: stoppage could cost the US economy every single day. Found
Speaker 1: five billion dollars. That is mind blowing when I saw that,
Speaker 1: and there words hurting American businesses, workers and consumers across
Speaker 1: the country. They say we urged both sides of coming
Speaker 1: agreement before Monday night's deadline. They've been threatening to shut
Speaker 1: down these ports for months while they've tried to haggle
Speaker 1: for better wages. Now, what are one of the demands
Speaker 1: of longshoming union wants? And I thought this, I understand
Speaker 1: where they're coming from, but you want to remain competitive
Speaker 1: on the global stage. Banning completely banning automation at ports,
Speaker 1: that's one of the demands, along with higher wages. Zero automation.
Speaker 1: That will be cranes, gates, moving containers, and the loading
Speaker 1: and unloading of freight. I'd love to get a definition
Speaker 1: of what they proceed to be automation. You can't have
Speaker 1: a crane unload a ship. A guy from Benchmark's Capital,
Speaker 1: Bill Gurley, responded to this on social media. Right in
Speaker 1: the federal government should step in if the union seeks
Speaker 1: a total ban on automation. Quote outlawing the effective use
Speaker 1: of technology will unquestionably doom our nation. We will become
Speaker 1: globally uncompetitive. Not knowing a whole lot about ports or
Speaker 1: shipping industry, I gotta imagine, Yeah, if you can more
Speaker 1: efficiently load, unload someplace else and get it to its
Speaker 1: final destination without having to go through the massive numbers
Speaker 1: of union members that you have to maintain on staff
Speaker 1: to to do the manual work automation could do quickly
Speaker 1: and efficiently, then you got a problem with competition on
Speaker 1: your hands. Anyway, again, JP Morgan included among those analysts
Speaker 1: who expect the strike will cost our economy five billion
Speaker 1: dollars per year and what does this mean for you
Speaker 1: and me? Fox Business reporting that experts are warning that
Speaker 1: if this shut down takes place, you can expect higher
Speaker 1: prices and empty shelves. Some experts in say are saying
Speaker 1: the prices could rise before the end of the year,
Speaker 1: impacting goods during yes, the all critical important to our
Speaker 1: economy holiday season. Retail Industry Leaders Association are ILA issued
Speaker 1: a statement saying retailers deal to strike as an imminent
Speaker 1: disruption as a self inflicted wound of the US economy.
Speaker 1: Several experts who have spoken with Fox News about this
Speaker 1: that the type of disruption and shipping and supply chains
Speaker 1: often leads to product shortages, which laws of supply demand. Folks,
Speaker 1: that's right, we'll have inflationary pressures, less supply, higher price
Speaker 1: corner Cody Moore, partner with UH and Wealth Advisor with
Speaker 1: the firm Wealth Enhancement and Prevention some expert. These strikes
Speaker 1: cause a rise in prices that could push inflation higher,
Speaker 1: potentially delaying the Federal Reserves from reserve from cutting rates further.
Speaker 1: So this delay could ultimately impact consumer costs for things
Speaker 1: like home mortgages, car loans, and credit cards. That's the
Speaker 1: ripple effect of the Fed keeping the rate of the
Speaker 1: same place. But they also say that you should brace
Speaker 1: for higher prices and goods by the first quarter of
Speaker 1: next year. Even sooner, importers are actively implementing strategies to
Speaker 1: manage these risks. Get the solutions often come with their
Speaker 1: own high expenses, inevitably impacting consumer prices. In other words,
Speaker 1: if you can put it on a ship and take
Speaker 1: it to a port and do it for X, finding
Speaker 1: a solution in a workaround to the ship or the
Speaker 1: port is going to be X plus something, and that
Speaker 1: plus will of course impact you and what you pay
Speaker 1: at the grocery store or whatever good is being delayed.
Speaker 1: They say it's discretionary products for the most part, I
Speaker 1: identifying luxury items recreational goods, which are expected to be
Speaker 1: most impacted by the shutdown of the ports due to
Speaker 1: their high price elasticity. Anyway, for all effects remain unclear,
Speaker 1: but they're expecting significant repercussions such as retail stockouts and
Speaker 1: plant slowdowns as we approach the busy holiday season. I
Speaker 1: wasn't sure what retail stockouts means. Bottom line, it's an
Speaker 1: industry turned for well out of stock event when the
Speaker 1: product you want to buy isn't there anymore stuck in
Speaker 1: a port or on a ship not unloaded. So timing
Speaker 1: couldn't be better, right, Oh, look, wars breaking out in
Speaker 1: the Middle East, among other things. They say they will
Speaker 1: still allow military shipments and cruise ships to operate. Now.
Speaker 1: I found the former comforting that they would still load
Speaker 1: and unload. I guess military ships with military hardware, but
Speaker 1: cruise ships they get a carve out five sixteen fifty
Speaker 1: five cashitetalk stations stick around plenty more to talk about.
Speaker 1: I love to hear from you two five three seven,
Speaker 1: eight hundred eighty two three Talk FOI five fifty on

Speaker 1: Greg McCowan on energy policy, Global Energy Policy, host of
Speaker 1: Charge Conversations. You should check out that podcast. Find out
Speaker 1: about a sane energy policy versus what's being shoved down
Speaker 1: our throat? And John Kerrey thinks that free speech is
Speaker 1: a problem in America along those lines, get to that
Speaker 1: a little bit later. Tim Rivers book The American ghoulag Chronicles,
Speaker 1: Volume two. Sadly we need a volume two on that one,
Speaker 1: and it's frightening stuff on that. I usually don't talk
Speaker 1: about celebrities, but Bill Maher occasionally really cracks me up
Speaker 1: with his astute commentary. And I thought it was kind
Speaker 1: of an interesting it was a springboard. I'm more interested
Speaker 1: in the follow up to the springboard he was going after.
Speaker 1: There's a wrapper out in the world, apparently a Grammy
Speaker 1: Award winning winning rapper named Macklemore. Anyway, this fill in
Speaker 1: the blank with your favorite FCC non compliant word was
Speaker 1: appearing at a Palestine Will Live Forever festival in Seattle,
Speaker 1: which proportally was raising money for a lot of different groups,
Speaker 1: including the United Nations Relief Workers Agency, which was filled
Speaker 1: with people who actually were involved in the October seventh
Speaker 1: terrorist attacks against Israel Israel even Israel and declare that
Speaker 1: organization strongly tied to Hamas Hamas Hamas, and those staffers
Speaker 1: at the un r W A would be fire were
Speaker 1: fired due to their involvement in October seventh. Anyway, Macimore,
Speaker 1: appearing from a bunch of people, embraced the crowd who
Speaker 1: was screaming f America, of course the full word, and
Speaker 1: he said, yeah, f America, sparking cheers from the audience.
Speaker 1: Tell Bill Market's on television. I love this. I'm sure
Speaker 1: it was a big hit with the Queers for Gaza crowd,
Speaker 1: literally advocating for a government that would imprison you or
Speaker 1: kill you for being queer from the safety and security
Speaker 1: of a country that doesn't do that. Yes, America the
Speaker 1: only place in the world where a white guy from
Speaker 1: the suburbs become a millionaire rapper because here, every person,
Speaker 1: regardless of age or I'm sorry, regardless of race, class,
Speaker 1: or gender, has the right to be talent free. This
Speaker 1: Macamore idiot backpedaled a little bit and said he was
Speaker 1: caught up in the moan and basically whatever Mars said,
Speaker 1: the protests that started off as justice for Palestine and
Speaker 1: morphed into a broader kind of America is the problem.
Speaker 1: You know, we ft up the whole world thing. Guess
Speaker 1: what document allows you to chant hey ho ho ho,
Speaker 1: followed by something really stupid, the Constitution of the United
Speaker 1: States of America. It incide a study about that four
Speaker 1: out of ten gen Zers believe the founding fathers are
Speaker 1: quote better described as ll close quote. Then he noted
Speaker 1: how some how young, some of them more including an
Speaker 1: eighteen year old, How about James Monroe eighteen years old,
Speaker 1: twenty one year old Alexander Hamilton, twenty five year old
Speaker 1: James Madison quote for Bill Maher. If they were the
Speaker 1: gen Z of their day and when they were your age,
Speaker 1: they started a country, what the f have you done?
Speaker 1: That's a great point. Anyway, here's what he had to
Speaker 1: say to conclude, history is complicated. Gen Z reasoning is not.
Speaker 1: They think they're pure, but they're really just simplistic. They
Speaker 1: know two things. White people did some very bad things,
Speaker 1: and no, that's it. That's all They know the citizens
Speaker 1: of gods that cannot assemble in protest of their own government.
Speaker 1: Amas cannot do so, or say what they want, or
Speaker 1: practice whatever religion they want, or have a free press,
Speaker 1: all rights guaranteed in just our first Amendment. The irony
Speaker 1: know all this is that the world, the Founder's birth,
Speaker 1: flawed through though it may be, provides the bedrock for
Speaker 1: everything that makes life good and the very people who
Speaker 1: hate them so much and so easy to take for granted.
Speaker 1: Individual liberty, a bill of rights, the rule of law,
Speaker 1: checks and balances, getting a trial by jury, the peaceful
Speaker 1: transfer of power, protecting minority rights, and democracy itself. But
Speaker 1: those are the things that make our pampered, privileged Braddy
Speaker 1: lives so relatively cushy. No one starves here, even our
Speaker 1: people are even our poor people are fat. Why do
Speaker 1: millions of people every year risk their lives to come
Speaker 1: here because they want what we've got. The Founders were flawed,
Speaker 1: but they did build a place the whole world wants
Speaker 1: to break into. No one is paying a coyote to
Speaker 1: smuggle them into India or Russia. Immigrants don't see us
Speaker 1: as the problem. They see us as a solution. And
Speaker 1: there's a reason that they kill themselves to get here close.
Speaker 1: Quote Bill Maher. Don't always see eye to eye with Bill,
Speaker 1: but when something really stupid from a left wing nutcase
Speaker 1: flies in his face, he at least has the stones
Speaker 1: to stand up and call it out for what it is,
Speaker 1: outright stupidity. Five twenty five fifty five kr CEDE Talk Station,

Speaker 1: sued Ohio's Republican Elections Chief Friday over his recent directive
Speaker 1: preventing the use of dropboxes by people helping voters with
Speaker 1: disabilities fout at the Supreme Court level. Lawsuit says Secretary
Speaker 1: of State Frank Rose order violates protections for voters with
Speaker 1: disabilities that exist in state and federal law under the
Speaker 1: Voting Rights Act. According to the party chair list, while
Speaker 1: Walter's in a statement, Franklerose's illegal attempt to deprive the
Speaker 1: Highlands of their right to return their ballot out of
Speaker 1: dropbox with assistance is in violation of both the High
Speaker 1: and federal law. The High Democratic Party, alongside Ohioan's impacted
Speaker 1: by this illegal directive or taking every action necessary to
Speaker 1: protect the constitutional right of every Ohioan to participate in
Speaker 1: our democracy. Anyway. As to the directive of the Rose,
Speaker 1: issued it after a federal judge struck down portions of
Speaker 1: a House sweeping twenty twenty three election law. Affected provisions
Speaker 1: had prohibited anyone but a few qualifying family members from
Speaker 1: helping people with disabilities deliver the ballots, excluding potential helpers
Speaker 1: such as caregivers, roommates, in laws, grandchildren, you name it.
Speaker 1: The order allows those individuals to help voters of disabilities
Speaker 1: deliver their valot, but it requires them to sign an
Speaker 1: attestation inside the Board of Elections office and during operating hours.
Speaker 1: Loss It says those conditions subject absentee voters and their
Speaker 1: assistance to new hurdles to voting, and also meant that,
Speaker 1: in their words, all voters will be subjected to longer
Speaker 1: lines and wait times at their Board of Election Offices.
Speaker 1: In the director of the ROE said that he was
Speaker 1: imposing the attestation rule to prevent ballot harvesting. That's when
Speaker 1: people attempt to collect and return somebody else's absentee ballot
Speaker 1: without accountability. And that's what he said, or that's why
Speaker 1: he said. The only person who can use the dropbox
Speaker 1: is the actual voter. In this lawsuit, the Democratic argue.
Speaker 1: The Democratic Party argues that federal law allows voters with
Speaker 1: disabilities to have someone of their choice aid them in
Speaker 1: returning to ballots. Ohio law broadly allows voters to have
Speaker 1: certain delineated family members do the same. Lawsuit says neither
Speaker 1: imposes special as at test station burdens to do so.
Speaker 1: The wheels of justice as slowly as they turn. You
Speaker 1: think that thing's going to be a resolved before the
Speaker 1: election date. Five point thirty five fifty five care CEV

Speaker 1: nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to
Speaker 1: three Talk found five fifty on AT and T phones.
Speaker 1: Who's first, Joseph? Alright, Larry Kevin, hang on your second, Larry,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Thanks for calling this morning.
Speaker 4: Good morning.
Speaker 5: I happen to agree with Frank Wrose. I don't know
Speaker 5: if everybody else does, but I believe in personal responsibility
Speaker 5: and accountability and voting shouldn't be taken lightly, especially this
Speaker 5: day and age. I feel that I understand there are situations.
Speaker 5: I had a grandfather that was in a nursing home
Speaker 5: and couldn't get to the polls, and I'm sure he
Speaker 5: probably did at one point in time before he passed.
Speaker 5: He did probably send in a ballot by you know,
Speaker 5: by mail. Yeah, we still have a mail system, yes, sir.
Speaker 5: And if there's no return address on it and your
Speaker 5: ballot can't go where it needs to go, or it
Speaker 5: shouldn't be count shouldn't be counted. Be responsible people follow
Speaker 5: the letter of the law. If you have to do
Speaker 5: a mail in return ballot fill it out properly. I
Speaker 5: honestly feel that there was. I've been voting for a
Speaker 5: long time, almost fifty now, and at no point in
Speaker 5: time do I ever really remember ballot drop off boxes.
Speaker 5: I might be wrong, maybe there was just that Board
Speaker 5: of Elections, But there's nothing wrong with if I have
Speaker 5: to have an ID for everything, you should be able
Speaker 5: to I have to show an.
Speaker 6: ID at my polls.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I go to vote.
Speaker 5: But I keep hearing all the time on the news
Speaker 5: about the Democrats crying that people that it's voter suppression
Speaker 5: if you have to have an ID. So I don't
Speaker 5: know what states there don't got ahead.
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, they make a victimhood out
Speaker 1: of literally everybody. They don't give anybody credit for measure
Speaker 1: of competence. They claim everything is an impossible challenge. If
Speaker 1: it makes it more difficult to vote because you need identification,
Speaker 1: you have to do it yourself in person, you can't
Speaker 1: pick up ballots and ballot harvest, that's all racist, it's
Speaker 1: all oppression, it's all disenfranchisement. And you and I both
Speaker 1: know that those arguments are a bunch of crap, and
Speaker 1: they are insulting to the vast majority of people that
Speaker 1: they are purporting to represent with their arguments, most notably
Speaker 1: when they say people of color are not capable of, say,
Speaker 1: for example, obtaining a photo ID or voting in person.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've been listening to these arguments now for
Speaker 1: years and years, and fortunately twenty twenty, with the COVID
Speaker 1: crap and the Shenanigans and the lawless nature in which
Speaker 1: the laws were changed, modified otherwise extended, resulted in some
Speaker 1: significant reforms being passed properly and through the appropriate legislative channels. Now,
Speaker 1: of course, you get litigation as a consequence of that.
Speaker 1: So Frank LeRose endeavoring to deal with one of the
Speaker 1: prior lawsuits, implements this obligation that hey, just go in
Speaker 1: and prove that you are an appropriate person to cast
Speaker 1: the ballot on behalf of this disabled individual. No big deal,
Speaker 1: we've got accountability. The accountability you're talking about, No, we'll
Speaker 1: have none of that. That's disenfranchisement because I don't know
Speaker 1: it takes more time. They if I guarantee to get
Speaker 1: in and out of the Board of Elections in any
Speaker 1: given amount of time, anyway, not that much of a challenge.
Speaker 1: Kevin welcome to the show. In a happy Monday to you, sir,
Speaker 1: Come on Brian Day.
Speaker 7: How long before demoncrats fiut lolls to allow cats.
Speaker 4: Dogs, parrots, squirrels and other service animals to vote with dropboxes?

Speaker 1: my friend, most notably, I like it a lot more
Speaker 1: on Mondays. And my engine started. Thanks Kevin, over to
Speaker 1: the stack of stupid there and nice segue to that.
Speaker 1: Surveillance didy appears to show a man accused of crawling
Speaker 1: under several women's vehicles while they were at a car wash.
Speaker 1: This happening last month in Arizona. Gilbert police officers called
Speaker 1: August twenty nine to investigate three instances where a man
Speaker 1: now identified as twenty eight year old Jesse Johnson was
Speaker 1: allegedly spotted crawling under vehicles while women were vacuuming at
Speaker 1: a car wash near Velvis to drive why are you
Speaker 1: doing that? Several witnesses and surveillance cameras reportedly saw Johnson
Speaker 1: calling it the vehicles, according to the court documents, While
Speaker 1: the women were vacuuming, Johnson did hid under the cars
Speaker 1: several minutes before climbing out from underneath. Camera video show
Speaker 1: Johnson parking next to a woman's white SUV despite several
Speaker 1: empty parking spaces. Exits the car moves toward the front
Speaker 1: of the woman's vehicle while she's vacuuming. One vacuums for
Speaker 1: several minutes until Johnson unexpectedly pops out from underneath her vehicle.
Speaker 1: He then moves back toward his car and appears to
Speaker 1: be cleaning his rear tire. Is that where they're calling it, Joe?
Speaker 1: We see? Since the woman didn't know what Johnson had
Speaker 1: done at first, they went back to the vehicles inspected
Speaker 1: for possible damage to see if he had placed the
Speaker 1: tracking device there. Court paper stated the woman described the
Speaker 1: incidents as very unsettling, with one saying she experienced nightmares.
Speaker 1: Authority search criminal Johnson's criminal history learned that he had
Speaker 1: interested several times in Nebraska forty similar crime. They said.
Speaker 1: Johnson admitted law enforcement in the Midwest that he is
Speaker 1: sexually attracted to women's feet times can't control his sexual desires.
Speaker 1: Arizona police st Johnson hath taking it into custody last Tuesday,
Speaker 1: booked on three counts of voyeurism, three counts of disorderly conduct.

Speaker 1: KRCD talks station and a very happy Monday to you.
Speaker 1: It's a bizarre story, that's why it's in the Staggers Stupid.
Speaker 1: Before I get to the phones, Bobby hang On got
Speaker 1: a German woman dowed. She died taking a vacation of
Speaker 1: Valencia aboard a moving motor home eighty four year old
Speaker 1: retiree traveling with her daughter, who was driving the motorhome.
Speaker 1: Lady felled her death around five point thirty in the
Speaker 1: morning local time. It is determined that the retiree opened
Speaker 1: the vehicle's exit door by accident, thinking it was the
Speaker 1: motor home's toilet door.
Speaker 2: What wrong with German people.
Speaker 1: One witness told local news there they saw the right
Speaker 1: hand side door of the motor home open before the
Speaker 1: woman fell. She was then struck by another vehicle and
Speaker 1: died instantly. As for her daughter driving the motor home,
Speaker 1: she continues until she reached the service station eight and
Speaker 1: a half kilometers later. That's when she realized her mother
Speaker 1: in law was no longer in the RV. They've ruled
Speaker 1: out a possibility of third passenger and believe the death
Speaker 1: was an unfortunate accident. Wow, that's sir, Bobby. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the Morning Show. Happy Monday to you.
Speaker 6: Welcome, Happy Monday, my brother, and Happy October Eve.
Speaker 1: Yeah it is, isn't it? Wake me up when September ends?
Speaker 6: Well, the main thing is I appreciate you holding that
Speaker 6: flag of freedom up every day, my brother.
Speaker 1: We need it. I do everything I can. Bobby as
Speaker 1: long as to let me do that, I am happy
Speaker 1: to keep coming back to work Monday through Friday.
Speaker 6: Butler County Paragrounds was an active place with the gun
Speaker 6: show this weekend. Oh yeah, for patriots and immigrants.
Speaker 1: Patriots and immigrants.
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, both sides of the spectrum.
Speaker 1: Well, I look, I always have to ask this because
Speaker 1: the first thing that comes to my mind when you're
Speaker 1: standing in a group of people, how can you determine
Speaker 1: the patriots from the immigrants? And are the immigrants patriots.
Speaker 6: When they don't know the difference between an automatic and revolvers,
Speaker 6: and they can't speak English and mumbling and got interpreters
Speaker 6: with them. I tell you that's pretty well sums it
Speaker 6: up for me.
Speaker 1: Enough evidence for Bobby, Yes, sir, were they buying firearms?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 6: Yes, it was active. It was pouring down rain Saturday.
Speaker 6: And I mean to tell you there wasn't a parking
Speaker 6: place hardly anywhere. You had to park out in the
Speaker 6: fields with all the utility trucks going to North Carolina.
Speaker 1: So these tell you what it was wild. Were these
Speaker 1: private sale vendors or were they actually have to pass
Speaker 1: the FFL background check vendors?
Speaker 6: Private sale primarily, and.
Speaker 1: You're feeding the flames of people who want to prevent
Speaker 1: private sales Bobby by bringing that up.
Speaker 6: Well, I'm just telling the truth, my brother. If you
Speaker 6: tell the truth, you never have to worry about what
Speaker 6: you say.
Speaker 1: Well, I agree with you on that. Try to be
Speaker 1: on radio four hours a day, five days a week.
Speaker 1: You cannot lie. You cannot not be yourself. Someone's going
Speaker 1: to catch you in it someday down the road. So yeah,
Speaker 1: this is me on and off air, and that same
Speaker 1: thing for Bobby when he calls in. God bless you, Bobby.
Speaker 1: Keep waving the flag of freedom, my friend. I know
Speaker 1: I can always hand on you. I think I can
Speaker 1: get one more stack and stupid in here. Despite many
Speaker 1: years of driving experience, Arlene Brandham apparently never been to
Speaker 1: a car wash. Her late husband used to do that
Speaker 1: for me. For her, she said, he took care of
Speaker 1: the cars. That's what he did. Even at seventy six,
Speaker 1: he did that and then so then I had not
Speaker 1: ever taken a car to a car wash. He died
Speaker 1: last year. She had to learn how to go through
Speaker 1: a car wash. She says, I was looking at all
Speaker 1: the signs, but obviously I missed the one that was
Speaker 1: really important, the sign that told her to put her
Speaker 1: car in neutral as she rolled into the car wash
Speaker 1: in Arvada, Colorado. She said, when you've not done anything
Speaker 1: like that and you just kind of apprehensive, then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, just a short distance in the car stop, Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not because I hit the guy in front of me,
Speaker 1: who happened to be a state trooper. What nobody was hurt,
Speaker 1: she said, I mean, we weren't even probably going half
Speaker 1: a mile an hour, and so I just thought it
Speaker 1: was just wrong. I didn't know where else to call
Speaker 1: to find out if it was legal for them to
Speaker 1: do that or not. In other words, get it, get
Speaker 1: a ticket, which you apparently got. Colorado State Patrol Sergeant
Speaker 1: Patrick Rice was asked if a ticket could be issued
Speaker 1: for an accident like that on private property. Is responsible
Speaker 1: Just because you're on private property doesn't mean you're without
Speaker 1: responsibility for controlling your vehicle, making sure that you're not
Speaker 1: damaging other people's property or hurting other people. Apparently, there
Speaker 1: are a few instances of Colorado State Patrol that have
Speaker 1: done this and can issue tickets when violations care on
Speaker 1: private property like DUI, reckless driving, unsafe backing or caroless
Speaker 1: driving like this poor woman's situation one hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: nine dollars ticket, those pesky difficult, challenging car washes five
Speaker 1: fifty six stick around plenty coming up at the six
Speaker 1: o'clock hour, including John Carey having to go at the
Speaker 1: First Amendment and democracies generally speaking, among other stories including
Speaker 1: oh yeah, World War three breaking out. I'll be back
Speaker 1: after the news. The twenty twenty four election.
Speaker 4: Vice President Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: I'm clapping. You don't have to go on fifty five

Speaker 1: and check out all the iHeart media content, including all
Speaker 1: of the podcasts from my show as well as others.
Speaker 1: And shout out to Brigham Accoun from Hudson Institute his
Speaker 1: Charged Conversation Policy podcast. Brigham was on the program last
Speaker 1: week for a full hour talking about global energy policy
Speaker 1: and the backcrap insanity of the myth that your exhalation
Speaker 1: is causing the planet to die. Got a related cut
Speaker 1: point on that, and here in a moment Money Monday's
Speaker 1: Brian James coming to eighty oh five, we're talking about
Speaker 1: another Federal FED rate cut. Question mark maybe not if
Speaker 1: this strike kicks in, I said, the accomomy is really
Speaker 1: going to be devastated. These East coast ports all the
Speaker 1: way through the Gulf, all of them will shut down.
Speaker 1: And that's basically half of our entire countries shipping goods
Speaker 1: would come to a screeching halt. That's going to have
Speaker 1: inflationary consequences, empty shelf consequences, and again it inflation may
Speaker 1: then prevent the Fed from cutting the rate again. So
Speaker 1: we'll see if Brian has anything to say about that.
Speaker 1: It'll also be talking about could you be reducing your
Speaker 1: social security by a mistake? And finally ways to build
Speaker 1: a successful retirement. That'll be an eight oh five and
Speaker 1: eight forty with an empower You seminar taking place. It's J. T.
Speaker 1: Townshend doing a seminar on the Lincoln assassination. So stick
Speaker 1: around at eight forty for that again podcast when you
Speaker 1: can't listen live, let us see here part of the
Speaker 1: global warming thing, it's resulted in a bunch of anxiety
Speaker 1: among our young people. We know baked into the curriculum
Speaker 1: these days is the one percent we you and I
Speaker 1: are killing the planet that's boiled down what our children
Speaker 1: are being taught, and they don't have any logic or reason.
Speaker 1: They don't question it. They're not allowed to question it
Speaker 1: and be labeled a heretic if they do question it. It's
Speaker 1: the newest religion that has swept the world over the
Speaker 1: past couple of decades, and I argue that it is
Speaker 1: religion because there's a lot of science out there which
Speaker 1: suggest that no, we have nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1: And of course, global events outside of the ability of
Speaker 1: mankind to deal with them like forest fires, volcano volcanic eruptions,
Speaker 1: et cetera, negate anything we do to stop carbon from
Speaker 1: being from being produced and in entering the atmosphere. And
Speaker 1: of course then there's that pesky reality about the Chinese,
Speaker 1: the Indians and other large countries ignoring the whole idea
Speaker 1: of trying to curb their carbon emissions. But you know,
Speaker 1: but this this psychological phenomena that's hapening among our young people,
Speaker 1: this idea that if we bring children into the world,
Speaker 1: that we are part of the problem. And Russia has
Speaker 1: been fighting this. Russia does not have a First Amendment.
Speaker 1: This is the critical point in this discussion here and
Speaker 1: where in law and Russia lawmakers have now proposed a
Speaker 1: ban on quote propaganda of conscious refusal to bear children,
Speaker 1: latest effort by Russian authorities to come back well following
Speaker 1: birth rates, which, of course the war between Ukraine and
Speaker 1: Russia has caused a precipitous increase in the reduction in
Speaker 1: Russia's population. Of course, most notably fighting age men, which
Speaker 1: are the type of manuitifically go home and start families
Speaker 1: and they have children, and they say the lack of
Speaker 1: childbearing could threaten the country's long term outlook. Back in July,
Speaker 1: Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskov said Russia's declining birth rate is
Speaker 1: catastrophic for the future of the nation anyway. This banning
Speaker 1: of propaganda of conscious refusal to bear children the latest
Speaker 1: in a step Kremlin campaign to promote what it casts
Speaker 1: as traditional values. These used to be our traditional values,
Speaker 1: but they're fighting back against the woke ideology of the West,
Speaker 1: which is really like a disease invaded all Western nations,
Speaker 1: and they'll be damned if they're going to go down
Speaker 1: that road. This bill tackles what Bolden said was the
Speaker 1: promotion of the ideology of childlessness and the child freeing
Speaker 1: movement on the internet, in the media, movies and advertisements,
Speaker 1: deciding when, he said, were frequent online displays of disrespect
Speaker 1: for motherhood and fatherhood, aggression toward pregnant women and children,
Speaker 1: and members of large families. Finds associated with this forty
Speaker 1: three hundred dollars for individuals in more than five fifty
Speaker 1: three thousand dollars for legal entities. A close knit and
Speaker 1: large family is the basis of a strong state. Spokesman
Speaker 1: Boldin added, now, for her part, Daryana Grayazanova, a Russian lawyer,
Speaker 1: was quoted on this and asked about her feelings about it.
Speaker 1: She does live abroad, so I guess she's safe in
Speaker 1: making statements like quote. Bills like these are essentially directed
Speaker 1: at curbing the freedom of speech, women's reproductive rights, and
Speaker 1: their freedom of choice. Russia also previously banned the so
Speaker 1: called international LGBTQ plus movement. In late twenty twenty three,
Speaker 1: They's court did so there's a risk of arrest and
Speaker 1: prosecution for the LGBTQ plus community. I guess for utterances
Speaker 1: in support of their causes. Again in Russia, where there
Speaker 1: is no First Amendment, Kremlin said, in contrast to the
Speaker 1: decadent West, it's a bolding so called family value. So
Speaker 1: they want to have children. They don't want anybody talking
Speaker 1: about not having children. So you now have a threat
Speaker 1: of a major, major fine if you make an utterance
Speaker 1: against what the government there wants. Pivoting over to another
Speaker 1: authoritarian state, North Korea, they recently expanded the list of
Speaker 1: offenses warranting the death penalty, now going from eleven to sixteen.
Speaker 1: Death penalty warranted when you have anti state propaganda, acts
Speaker 1: of agitation, for you, college campus protesters, illegal manufacturing, and
Speaker 1: the illicit use of weapons, all in the new code.
Speaker 1: Back in twenty twenty law pass making the consumption and
Speaker 1: distribution of South Korean media punishable by death because of
Speaker 1: its reactionary and counter revolutionary associations. I guess Kim Jong
Speaker 1: un would call it disinformation, and you'll get none of that.
Speaker 1: It's now criminal to consume that information. Other so called
Speaker 1: reactionary behavior that will result in punishment in North Korea.
Speaker 1: Wearing of outside fashions such as white wedding dresses, blue jeans,
Speaker 1: or even sunglasses. Outside slang terms from South Korea also
Speaker 1: allegedly banned in written communications. So beyond the death penalty,
Speaker 1: you could also end up well in a prison camp
Speaker 1: or in force re education. Again no First Amendment pivoting
Speaker 1: over and the point I wanted to make among all this,
Speaker 1: John Carry, John, we're all gonna die here. Let me
Speaker 1: get back on my private jet and fly someplace. Ells Carry.
Speaker 1: Former Secretary of State John Carrey taking part of the
Speaker 1: World Economic Forum panel on Green Energy last Wednesday, one
Speaker 1: of the members of the audience asked what could be
Speaker 1: done to push back against disinformation regarding climate change online
Speaker 1: quote from John Carrey, who I think at one point,
Speaker 1: since he was Secretary of State, probably held up his
Speaker 1: hand and swore an oath to the Constitution which included
Speaker 1: the First Amendment while he was an elected official. I
Speaker 1: know he had to do that. Quote. You know, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of discussion about how you can curb those
Speaker 1: entities in order to guarantee that you're going to have
Speaker 1: some accountability on facts, etc. But look, if people only
Speaker 1: go to one source, and the source they go to
Speaker 1: is sick, and you know, has an agenda and they're
Speaker 1: putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major
Speaker 1: block to be able to just you know, hammer it
Speaker 1: out of existence. Oh so if you listen to the
Speaker 1: Charged Conversations podcast with Brigham account from the Hudson Institute,
Speaker 1: I guess he would call that sick. He probably thinks
Speaker 1: he has an agenda because well, he points out facts
Speaker 1: in the face of the propaganda we've been given by
Speaker 1: the Green group that pesky First Amendment. John Kerry went on, so,
Speaker 1: what we need is to win the ground, win the
Speaker 1: right to govern by hopefully winning enough votes that you're
Speaker 1: free to be able to implement change, and on the
Speaker 1: heels of the comment about our pesky First Amendment being
Speaker 1: a major block to well, taking away your freedom of
Speaker 1: information and freedom to speak. Change must mean, i guess,
Speaker 1: eradication of the First Amendment or at least a major
Speaker 1: pairing down of it. So the only source of information
Speaker 1: that will be justified in the eyes of the government
Speaker 1: would be their independent message. So going back to the
Speaker 1: echo chamber that he claims is wrong, you're only going
Speaker 1: to get one message, the message that the government approves.
Speaker 1: He also pointed out, apparently this is an issue unique
Speaker 1: to democracies, which is why I pointed out what Russia
Speaker 1: was doing and what North Korea is doing, obviously not
Speaker 1: democracies or countries with First Amendment quote. The dislike and
Speaker 1: anguish over social media is just growing and growing. It's
Speaker 1: part of our problem, particularly in democracies, in terms of
Speaker 1: building consensus around any issue. Building consensus. Consensus is not science.
Speaker 1: Consensus is not fact. Consensus is a majority of people
Speaker 1: in any room on any given topic agreeing on one
Speaker 1: viewpoint of it. That viewpoint maybe batcrap, insane and fundamentally
Speaker 1: in the face of science and facts, but it could
Speaker 1: be a consensus. Nonetheless, right, He went on, it's really
Speaker 1: hard to govern today. The referees we used to have
Speaker 1: to determine what is a fact and what isn't a
Speaker 1: fact have kind of been eviscerated to a certain degree,
Speaker 1: and people go and self select where they go for
Speaker 1: their news, for their information, and then you get into
Speaker 1: a vicious cycle. He said. Democracies around the world are
Speaker 1: struggling with the absence of a sort of truth arbiter,
Speaker 1: and then there's no one who defines what facts really are.
Speaker 1: If we could strip away some of the fear mongering
Speaker 1: that's taking place and get down to the realities of
Speaker 1: what's here for people, this is the biggest economic opportunity.
Speaker 1: Who's fear mongering whom? Why are children afraid to go
Speaker 1: out and have families these days? Well, I'm afraid my
Speaker 1: exelation and that child that bring in the world is
Speaker 1: gonna kill us. All. That's where the fear mongering comes from.
Speaker 1: He emphasized throughout the panel the importance of electing the
Speaker 1: right people in November. I think democracies are very challenged
Speaker 1: right now and have not proven they can move fast
Speaker 1: enough or big enough to deal with the challenges they
Speaker 1: are facing. Into me, that is part of what this
Speaker 1: election is about. Will we break the fever in the
Speaker 1: United States? Is he not advocating for the removal of
Speaker 1: the checks and balances in the Constitution. Yeah, Republicans and
Speaker 1: Democrats are fighting. They aren't getting anything done. That's because
Speaker 1: we have two different sides of the perspective, or multifaceted
Speaker 1: sides to the perspective, and we're not supposed to have
Speaker 1: one size shoved down our collective throats. That's the beautiful
Speaker 1: thing of living in a republic, John Kerry. And think
Speaker 1: about also what he's saying. He's lamenting the fact that
Speaker 1: basically we have an Internet with unlimited outlets to get information,
Speaker 1: particularly democracies, right the referees, We used to have to
Speaker 1: determine what is a fact in what is an effective
Speaker 1: kind of been eviscerated. And when I read that, I
Speaker 1: think about, like Walter Crimekit, I'm old enough to remember
Speaker 1: you had five, nine and twelve and nineteen as the
Speaker 1: auxiliary channel in public broadcasting. That was it. You had
Speaker 1: one news anchor, editor of the news who provided the
Speaker 1: news to you and was independently responsible for selecting what
Speaker 1: content was read on the evening news. As I was
Speaker 1: pointing out every single week, I got about a remsworth
Speaker 1: of paper with news stories that I didn't even get
Speaker 1: a chance to talk about on the morning show. I
Speaker 1: decide in my wisdom which articles are most important to
Speaker 1: talk about, or you call me up and steer me
Speaker 1: in a different direction. But somebody's always got to make
Speaker 1: the choice. But at least we have the freedom to
Speaker 1: pick and choose and select what we consume. He wants
Speaker 1: a guy or a person or a committee behind the
Speaker 1: scenes to do that and tell you what's real and
Speaker 1: what isn't. Think doctor Fauci, think six feet social distancing,
Speaker 1: Think vaccines that will prevent you from getting COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: and oh yeah, that's right. They really don't think about
Speaker 1: mask mandates. And that's just one area of information that
Speaker 1: we relied to repeatedly, over and over again, and we
Speaker 1: all suffered as a consequence of it. Six nineteen fifty

Speaker 1: The Claremont County Republican Party Flapjack breakfast on Saturday, I
Speaker 1: mentioned that earlier. I appreciate them inviting me to facilitate.
Speaker 1: One thing came through loud and clear. Everyone, Bernie Morendo,
Speaker 1: Frank LeRose, Attorney General Yost All, the speakers, No on
Speaker 1: Issue one. This establishes the Citizens Redistricting Committee. It's big fat,
Speaker 1: out of state liberal leftist money. This is an amendment
Speaker 1: to the Ohio Constitution. And I know everybody hates jerrymandering,
Speaker 1: but jerrymandering is not eliminated under Issue one. It merely
Speaker 1: provides in the hands of the Citizen Redistricting Committee, which
Speaker 1: has got all kinds of crazy restrictions on who can
Speaker 1: even be on that committee. It gives them the ability
Speaker 1: to gerrymander. That's what's going to happen. And you know
Speaker 1: you've got solid Republican blocks in this in the in
Speaker 1: the state of Ohio, those are going to be washed away.
Speaker 1: So again, constitutional amendment establishing this. So talk to your
Speaker 1: friends no on one and you will see any place
Speaker 1: you see a Harris walls sign or a shared brown
Speaker 1: sign right next to it's going to be a yes
Speaker 1: on one, and recognizing that the money comes from leftist
Speaker 1: organizations from outside the state of Ohio. I hope that's
Speaker 1: enough to convince you how nefarious this is. It's crazy comprehensive,
Speaker 1: it's crazy complex. It's like a couple of hundred pages
Speaker 1: if I recall correctly. But again, it's a constitutional amendment.
Speaker 1: So vote no on Issue one. That came through loud
Speaker 1: and clear on Saturday, for sure, local stories of your
Speaker 1: phone calls five one, three, seven, four fifty five hundred,

Speaker 1: Traditional import manufacturers, because we all autoparts come from around
Speaker 1: the globe, so maybe a great idea to get in
Speaker 1: there soon, get Austin in the team of a se
Speaker 1: certified master technicians at the Westchester location to properly service
Speaker 1: your car. They have access to your manufacturers technical information.
Speaker 1: I don't care how mundane, run on the mill or
Speaker 1: exotic to your car is. If it's traditionally European or Asian,
Speaker 1: that's the place to be. And why money. You get
Speaker 1: a full warranty on parts in service, just like the dealer.
Speaker 1: They fix your car to your satisfaction, probably just like
Speaker 1: the deal but they don't charge you as much. The
Speaker 1: bottom line is your bottom line at Foreign Exchange and
Speaker 1: taking our imported cars there for years and years, and

Speaker 1: Six fifty five Kercity talk station power outage over the weekend,
Speaker 1: we had it. A lot of folks struggled with it,
Speaker 1: and going to local stories here, we still have roughly
Speaker 1: three thousand Duke Energy customers without power this morning, obviously
Speaker 1: because of the storms have swept through over the weekend
Speaker 1: say outages. Most outages still in Hamilton and Claremont County's
Speaker 1: website shows, like I said, roughly three thousand. It just
Speaker 1: dispersed all over the place, but they're all over the
Speaker 1: southeast area here. Utility workers, of course, been working twenty
Speaker 1: four hours days since the power outages started. They restored
Speaker 1: power to more than one hundred thousand customers who were
Speaker 1: affected by the winds. It caused more than one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty power outages, so initially it caused outages in
Speaker 1: seventeen counties. Winds up to fifty to seventy miles per hour.
Speaker 1: We heard trees splitting in our neighborhood and we actually
Speaker 1: had a utility pole come down over on East Kemper Road,
Speaker 1: and not sure if that was the one that took
Speaker 1: our power out, but we had about twenty four hours
Speaker 1: without power. So anyhow, good luck to those still effected,
Speaker 1: and God bless the Duke Energy workers for the hard
Speaker 1: work they're doing. There's only so much you can get
Speaker 1: accomplished given the widespread damage. Let us see here got

Speaker 1: inside the vehicle pronounced dead at the scene. Winton Road
Speaker 1: was shut down in North Bend. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's open again. I presume it is by now. Police
Speaker 1: from both Cincinnati and spring Field Township responded to this.
Speaker 1: Police Department Homicide Unit is currently investigating. They sent out
Speaker 1: an all county wide broadcast eleven thirty yesterday evening over
Speaker 1: police radio asking law enforcement to be on the lookout
Speaker 1: for a white Ford explorer involved in the shooting. Sopposed

Speaker 1: Attention Ohio pizza restaurant owners tired of glitchybition, Happy Monday,
Speaker 1: try to make it one anyway, you hearing from Smithman
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the next hour. Always enjoy that
Speaker 1: smile on my face. Here Smitheman rant into the smith event.
Speaker 1: I love hearing from you too, U five three seven
Speaker 1: fifty eight hundred eight two three talk feel free to
Speaker 1: call is something you want to talk about? Like US
Speaker 1: moving toward World War three? Okay? Great? Yesterday? Yesterday, US
Speaker 1: military said it is increasing its air support capabilities in
Speaker 1: the Middle East and ominously putting troops on heightened readiness
Speaker 1: for deployment in the region. US Military warning Iran against
Speaker 1: expanding the ongoing conflict, with which, as I observe, it
Speaker 1: seems Iran is ignoring anyway. That announcement came two days
Speaker 1: after Biden directed the Pentagon to adjust US force posture
Speaker 1: in the Middle East tom Ad, intensifying concern that Israel's
Speaker 1: killing of a leader of Iran back Hsballa could prompt
Speaker 1: Tehran to retaliate. Pentagon spokesperson Major General Patrick Ryder, in
Speaker 1: a statement, said the United States is determined to prevent
Speaker 1: Iran and Iranian back partners and proxies from exploiting the
Speaker 1: situation or expanding the conflict. Also cautioned that Iran or
Speaker 1: underscore groups. Tehran backs use this moment to target American
Speaker 1: personnel or interest in the region, the United States will
Speaker 1: take every necessary measure to defend our people. Keep that
Speaker 1: in mind. Very few clues as the size of scope
Speaker 1: of this new air deployment. Pentagon said only that we
Speaker 1: will further reinforce our defensive air support capabilities in the
Speaker 1: coming days. US depart is not issued in order to
Speaker 1: evacuate Lebanon, but last week US official said the Pentagon
Speaker 1: was sending a few dozen additional troops to Cyprus to
Speaker 1: help military prepare for scenarios including an evacuation of Americans
Speaker 1: for Lebanon. Pentagon has also said US forces were being
Speaker 1: made ready to deploy if necessary. All right, I told
Speaker 1: you to hold keep that statement in mind. If Tehran
Speaker 1: uses this moment to target American personnel or interest in
Speaker 1: the region, we will take every necessary measure to defend
Speaker 1: our people. How much measure or how much of a
Speaker 1: measure will that be? Because on Friday we had the
Speaker 1: Huthi terrorists launching drones at our ships, our military ships.
Speaker 1: Deputy Press securated the Department Offense, Sabrina Singh. We did
Speaker 1: see a complex attached attack launched from the Houthis that
Speaker 1: ranged from cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles. Now, the
Speaker 1: Huthis were claiming that the act actually damaged three US
Speaker 1: Navy warships in this concentrated bombardment. US denies that. According
Speaker 1: to the statement from the spokesperson, Sabrina's saying, my understanding
Speaker 1: is that those who were those were either engaged and
Speaker 1: shot down, meaning the missiles weren't either engaged or shot
Speaker 1: down or failed, referring to the Hoothy missiles. No US
Speaker 1: military ships were struck and there were no injuries to
Speaker 1: US service members, she said in the statement. Currently, USS
Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln and it's carry a strike group are in
Speaker 1: the region that includes three destroyers Friday. They decline to
Speaker 1: say whether the destroyers were intended targets of the Hoothy missiles,
Speaker 1: but I think you and I can probably guess they were.
Speaker 1: Spokesman said, well, we did what we had to do to
Speaker 1: protect our forces, and at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: no ship was hit, no damage, no injuries to our personnel.
Speaker 1: But they've also been targeting the cargo ships in the
Speaker 1: Red Seas, slowing down traffic there and of course increasing
Speaker 1: the shipping problems that we have around the globe, exacerbated
Speaker 1: tomorrow by the shutdown of all of our parts on
Speaker 1: the eastern seaboard all the way through the Gulf of Mexico.
Speaker 1: But Iran backed Uthis, we all know who they're supported by,
Speaker 1: so these strikes would fall in And I know he
Speaker 1: issued this statement after these missile strikes, but they've been
Speaker 1: doing these missile strikes now for months, ever since October seventh.
Speaker 1: If they were to hit one of our vessels, would
Speaker 1: that mean We're going to send troops into the area.
Speaker 1: Are we going to go head on, full on with
Speaker 1: the Iranians? Are we going to go after the Hisbala
Speaker 1: groups or maybe the Huthis or pick another organization there
Speaker 1: that is funded and ordered and acts at the will
Speaker 1: and the bidding of the Iranian government. This is a
Speaker 1: proxy war Iran is waging. If everybody loves that Ukrainian situation,
Speaker 1: that's a proxy war. The Western forces, of course, providing
Speaker 1: weapons and supplies to the Irani or the the Ukrainian people,
Speaker 1: they're left to fight the war against the Russians. The
Speaker 1: Russians recently rejiggered their nuclear use of force policy to
Speaker 1: well go after those who support anyone who actually is
Speaker 1: attacking Russians, that would be US. So we got the
Speaker 1: flip side of that going on here with the Iranians
Speaker 1: supporting all of these terrorist organizations. Do red lines mean
Speaker 1: anything anymore? Do these types of threats issued to the Iranians?
Speaker 1: Are they taken seriously by the Iranians any longer? I'm
Speaker 1: left with the impression that's a hard no. Six forty

Speaker 1: and you can call in if you like. Nobody wants
Speaker 1: to talk to me today five one, three, seven, four
Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred two three talk. We
Speaker 1: got issues going on globally, and of course issues going
Speaker 1: on here in the United States, most notably the security
Speaker 1: risk posed by the Chinese Communist Party and this odd
Speaker 1: reality that's going on in Fairfax County, Virginia, right there
Speaker 1: next to Washington, DC, also home to government leaders and
Speaker 1: a bunch of national security installations Fairfax County, where police
Speaker 1: and emergency service agencies are using drones made by a
Speaker 1: sanctioned Chinese company, thereby allowing well the Chinese Communist Party
Speaker 1: to spy on these sensitive sites sites. Now this is
Speaker 1: a bypart as an effort by a pair of lawmakers
Speaker 1: in Virginia, State of Virginia are trying to stop this
Speaker 1: from happening. Fairfax authorities, including the police and fire departments,
Speaker 1: using drones manufactured by a company called Dji, which is
Speaker 1: a Chinese firm that controls cheese about eighty percent of
Speaker 1: our United States commercial drone market. Eighty US government has
Speaker 1: DEEMEDDJ a spy risk. After an investigation by the House
Speaker 1: Select Committee on China, we sanctioned Dji back in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one for surveillance partnership of the Chinese Communist Party
Speaker 1: CCP produced unmanned aerial systems and sensors used by Fairfax
Speaker 1: County which collect high resolution imagery of facilities. According to
Speaker 1: the Committee's findings, they said, the country of the county's
Speaker 1: reliance on these drones leave the sensitive data at risk
Speaker 1: of being collected by the CCP. Last week letter to
Speaker 1: Jeffrey McKay, chair of the Fairfax Supervisory Board, Representatives Mullinar
Speaker 1: and Christian Christian A. Morphy. This is a like, I said,
Speaker 1: a bipartisan effort. Christian Morphy, a Democrat, and Representative Julian Mullinar,
Speaker 1: Republican from Illinois and Michigan, respectively. They pressed SMOCAI a
Speaker 1: decommission the fleet of Dji drones, citing the large amount
Speaker 1: of sensitive national security sites and interest in Fairfax County.
Speaker 1: The federal government sought to eliminate Dji and other Chinese
Speaker 1: firms from its supply chain. Cities across the nation, however,
Speaker 1: still use these. Again, going back to that fun figure,
Speaker 1: eighty percent of the US commercial drone market is Dji
Speaker 1: controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. At least seven states
Speaker 1: have grounded these Chinese produced drones. Why hasn't yours? Now,
Speaker 1: you have to know that Chinese companies are required under
Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party national security laws to provide mandatory this
Speaker 1: is their words, mandatory access to devices and programs through
Speaker 1: backdoors also known as embedded and reversed interfaces, meaning the
Speaker 1: Chicoms can access the data being streamed through the drones
Speaker 1: across the United States of America. In seeing Fairfax, Virginia
Speaker 1: right there next to Washington, DC and home to all
Speaker 1: of these sensitive sites and information, Bill and Are and
Speaker 1: Christian Morthy saying immediate action is necessary to stop China
Speaker 1: from spying on them any national security sites, military installations,
Speaker 1: government homes that are all located throughout Fairfax. That's noted
Speaker 1: that they have been looking at this Fairfax Board of
Speaker 1: Supervisors first to prove the county's drone program in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: Since then they have been made aware of the problems
Speaker 1: and the national security risks associated with using them, and
Speaker 1: so they're only now starting to look into it. That's
Speaker 1: why they're saying, no, we need immediate action. We don't
Speaker 1: need harum Fan, we need this fixed other problem. It's
Speaker 1: cheaper to buy the Chinese drones because they're heavily subsidized.
Speaker 1: If you look at the ones that are made in
Speaker 1: the United States of America, often a lot more expensive
Speaker 1: than the Chinese counterpart. So looking out for your bottom
Speaker 1: line and saving a few dollars is aiding and betting
Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party. They just soak up gobs of information.
Speaker 1: Dave Hatter tells us this every single week on Tech
Speaker 1: Friday with Dave Hatter. They said, Dji, the company making
Speaker 1: the drones, is also looking for ways to sidestep regulatory
Speaker 1: and competitive pressures through a strategy known as white labeling,
Speaker 1: which I think the terrorist organizations in the Middle East
Speaker 1: are well aware of. Remember the pagers that blew up, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were labeled by a company that doesn't even make
Speaker 1: those anymore, manufactured someplace else to look like the real
Speaker 1: McCoy well. White labeling allows Dji, the Chinese Communist Party
Speaker 1: drones to be re labeled to look like a licensed
Speaker 1: product here in the United States of America, making it
Speaker 1: harder to trace. You think similar in an elected capacity
Speaker 1: would be on this like white on Rice six fifty
Speaker 1: six fifty five K city talk station. Stick around more
Speaker 1: to talk about off top of the internew John, if
Speaker 1: you don't mind holding, we'll take your call right out
Speaker 1: of the gate and we get back. But it got
Speaker 1: to run him ount of time every day. The most
Speaker 1: important day is election day. You're gonna hear every single
Speaker 1: bit of information when you we like to listen ED

Speaker 1: six here at you five garc DE Talk station. Brian
Speaker 1: Thomas wish you a very happy Monday. I hope you
Speaker 1: had a wonderful weekend. Cheers and thanks again to the
Speaker 1: Climont County Republican Club for the event they flapjack event
Speaker 1: on Saturday morning. Had a great time, an enthusieda group
Speaker 1: Climont County Republicans. You can always count on them, so
Speaker 1: it it feels so great being in Claremont County. I'll
Speaker 1: bring the flag out of Hamilton if I ever have
Speaker 1: to leave and head directly to the very solid red
Speaker 1: group of folks in Clamont County. They are excited and
Speaker 1: the message that came across John with me one moment
Speaker 1: vote no on Issue one strong No. Every speaker there
Speaker 1: at the event, everybody's in favor of Bernie Marinare everyodone's
Speaker 1: Donald Trump to get elected? You see, we had Supreme
Speaker 1: Court candidates there among others, but the file analysis, every
Speaker 1: single person in the room was speaking about Issue one
Speaker 1: and how unbelievably terrible it will be in Ohio that
Speaker 1: is basically offloading the concept of jerrymandering to this independent,
Speaker 1: so called independent panel that has just got loads and
Speaker 1: loads of restrictions on who can even be on the panel.
Speaker 1: This independent entity which is going to be deciding the
Speaker 1: redistricting can't even have American veterans on it. Someone told
Speaker 1: me that I didn't look into it, but I took
Speaker 1: him at his word. So veterans can't serve. What the
Speaker 1: hell anyway, Let's see what John's got to say. John,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for holding over the brake there, sir,
Speaker 1: welcome to the program.
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, let's get right down to it. I'd like
Speaker 9: to start off by speculating online. Musician friends like bod Nice,
Speaker 9: round of Sutters, most the band and everybody else can regulations.
Speaker 9: You've got the government signing up for John.
Speaker 1: Hey John, I'm I'm having trouble hearing you're kind of
Speaker 1: cracking up with your cell phone connection. Can you I
Speaker 1: adjust your phone a little bit?
Speaker 10: I love that.
Speaker 1: That just made it. That just made it worse. Man,
Speaker 1: You're you're just completely garbled. You can call back and
Speaker 1: I apologize for that. Over the immigration, of course, Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris went to the border m blaming the Republicans on
Speaker 1: the massive influx of humanity coming across the southern border.
Speaker 1: Obviously not with a straight face. A lot of people
Speaker 1: are poking fun of Kamala Harris for wearing what is
Speaker 1: described as a sixty two thousand dollars Tiffany necklace. There's
Speaker 1: a necklace that costs sixty two thousand dollars. Uh, Okay,
Speaker 1: no confirmation that's exactly the necklace she was wearing, although
Speaker 1: it does look remarkably similar to the one that's offered
Speaker 1: at Tiffany's. On what kind of optics are you presenting?
Speaker 1: When we were in the middle of a US significant
Speaker 1: problem with the American economy, inflationary pressures, and a border
Speaker 1: problem that has exacerbated the problems that many communities are
Speaker 1: feeling here in the United States of America, has show
Speaker 1: up wearing something like that, a necklace worth more money
Speaker 1: than most Americans make a year in salary. Okay, not
Speaker 1: the first time she's made that for Paul Anyway, some
Speaker 1: fun numbers you're gonna love these. According to the most
Speaker 1: recent release of information from the Biden administration, they have
Speaker 1: allowed six hundred and fifty thousand criminal migrants and suspects,
Speaker 1: including while the statistics under are crazy accord of the data.
Speaker 1: Letter from Immigration Customs Enforcement to Representative Tony Gonzalez. The
Speaker 1: letter responds to a request from Representative Tony Gonzalez from Texas.
Speaker 1: Your letter requests a number of non citizen on ICE's
Speaker 1: dock had convicted or charged with the crime. As of
Speaker 1: July twenty first, twenty twenty four, there were six hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty two thousand, five hundred and sixty six non
Speaker 1: citizens with criminal histories on ICE's national docket, which includes
Speaker 1: those detained by ICE and on the agency's non detained docket.
Speaker 1: Of those, four hundred and thirty five thousand, seven hundred
Speaker 1: and nineteen are convicted criminals, including thirteen thousand, ninety nine murderers,
Speaker 1: with twenty two thousand, two hundred twenty six thousand, eight
Speaker 1: hundred and forty seven having pending criminal charges. That report
Speaker 1: again from the Immigrations and Customs officials. This isn't Republicans
Speaker 1: making numbers up, as I know many leftists want to
Speaker 1: accuse them of. The report says an additional two hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty two thousand, one hundred and forty one undetained
Speaker 1: migrants facing criminal charges that include eighteen hundred and forty
Speaker 1: five homicide charges. Data also shows fifteen thousand migrant criminals
Speaker 1: in jail. Huh, we've got limited resources. Jail space is
Speaker 1: at a premium if we pay attention to what's going
Speaker 1: on even in here in Hamilton County, jail population includes
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy seven migrant murderers and fifty one
Speaker 1: migrants who are facing murdered charges. Date also shows seventeen
Speaker 1: thousand migrants found guilty or charged with sexual offenses that
Speaker 1: one steeps over into a broader category or a smaller category,
Speaker 1: or rather, using your ven diagram, a smaller subset of
Speaker 1: the criminals which are involved in exploiting children for prostitution purposes.
Speaker 1: Non citizens in terms of the data that was handed
Speaker 1: over in response to the request by Tony Gonzalez, refers
Speaker 1: to illegal migrants, overstay migrants, and green card holders, all
Speaker 1: of whom can be deported. Criminals are not in detention
Speaker 1: because they have served their time or have not been deported.
Speaker 1: It was stated so far, my orcus has also overall
Speaker 1: brought in at least ten million legal, illegal and quasi
Speaker 1: legal migrants, roughly one migrant for every American birth going
Speaker 1: back to that edict from the Russian government that you're
Speaker 1: not even allowed to talk about not having children because
Speaker 1: well they're struggling with population replacement. But pivoting over to
Speaker 1: that other subset borders are Kamala Harris of course at
Speaker 1: the southern border mentioned the six hundred and fifty thousand
Speaker 1: migrants with criminal records. It says, according to I believe
Speaker 1: this was Reuters. Try to give credit where credit due. Anyway,
Speaker 1: there's a new report out of regarding an explosion of
Speaker 1: migrant prostitution networks of migrant prostitution across America. This newly
Speaker 1: leaked law enforcement document, thanks to the New York Post
Speaker 1: journalists for grabbing a hold of copy of it and
Speaker 1: exposing it for the rest of us to view, shows
Speaker 1: that Venezuela and Prison gang, this trendy Aragua gang that
Speaker 1: has been in the news a lot of late, has
Speaker 1: exploited desperate migrant women into sex trafficking networks across eight states.
Speaker 1: Court to the release, the eight states have seen an
Speaker 1: explosion in migrant population since the gang laid down routes
Speaker 1: in the US. This is that trade de Aragua gang
Speaker 1: with authorities in Texas Nevada, Illinois, California, Florida, Georgia, New
Speaker 1: Jersey and New York now fighting to curtail the sex trade.
Speaker 1: A cord to the memo review by The New York Post,
Speaker 1: coming to a city near you, I can assure you
Speaker 1: of that. New York City police sources told the New
Speaker 1: York Posts that trend Aragua gangsters are recruiting their members
Speaker 1: and victims straight out of city run migrant shelters quote
Speaker 1: in the big Apple train and Daragua is trying to
Speaker 1: recruit foot soldiers to force women into sex trafficking in
Speaker 1: the hopes that it will become the main source of
Speaker 1: income for the gang. According to that memo, the New
Speaker 1: York Post obtained memos circulated a federal and law enforcement
Speaker 1: agencies nationwide. It said, quote for some women, the debt
Speaker 1: is almost impossible to pay off due to the penalty
Speaker 1: fees added by the trade de Aragua gang members as punishment,
Speaker 1: we helped you across the border. We help you make
Speaker 1: the trip all the way from filling the Black Country
Speaker 1: into the southern border the United States of America to
Speaker 1: where you sit today in a migrant shelter. You owe
Speaker 1: us and you will work for us, and you will
Speaker 1: you give your body to us to exploit and sell.
Speaker 1: They have the memo posts that you can read on
Speaker 1: the New York Post itself. It's frightening stuff, folks. And
Speaker 1: you know who's the blame for this, right Biden Harris
Speaker 1: and Harris says the audacity to say, oh, just let
Speaker 1: me president, I'm gonna fix everything. They brought this problem.
Speaker 1: You don't need to do with any anything other than
Speaker 1: look at the numbers under the Trump administration versus the
Speaker 1: numbers and the explosion of humanity across the southern and
Speaker 1: northern borders more frequently under the Biden Harrison administration. It's like,
Speaker 1: look at the chart. They telegraphed that the border was
Speaker 1: open to the rest of the world. They made it
Speaker 1: easier for people to fly directly into our country from
Speaker 1: their home countries. I know they had that Republican legislator
Speaker 1: that legislation bipartisan was going to fix everything. She hung
Speaker 1: her hat on that when she was at the southern
Speaker 1: border Statey. It was Donald Trump and the Republicans fault
Speaker 1: for this problem because they didn't pass a piece of
Speaker 1: legislation that would have well solidified at least five thousand
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants coming across our border every single week. Now
Speaker 1: there has been a market decrease in the number of
Speaker 1: illegal border crossers since they've done something. But that's something
Speaker 1: was what Donald Trump had in place when he was
Speaker 1: president that Joe Biden undid the moment he became president.
Speaker 1: And that's, of course when the spike occurred, and that
Speaker 1: spike went directly straight up, and it's only recently come
Speaker 1: down over the past several months because well, they reinstituted
Speaker 1: something Donald Trump had in place. And Kamala Harris as
Speaker 1: yet pulling neck and neck with Trump in a lot
Speaker 1: of places, ahead of Trump, of course in Blue states.
Speaker 1: I don't understand it, folks, I really truly don't. Seven sixteen,
Speaker 1: John's back on the phone. We'll give you another shot. John.
Speaker 1: Hopefully our communications issue has been resolved. I get to
Speaker 1: mention plump type plumbing. It's always plumbing done right when
Speaker 1: you're calling plump tye plumbing. Hell, maybe the rain and
Speaker 1: all the undated and flooding and all that gave you
Speaker 1: a plumbing problem called plumb tight. They'll be there twenty
Speaker 1: four to seven emergencies. And the last time I called
Speaker 1: plumb tit I didn't even have to call them, and
Speaker 1: I went to plumptight dot com and schedule my appointment
Speaker 1: online and they got back with me in five minutes
Speaker 1: on a Sunday. So they think they were concerned it
Speaker 1: was an emergency, and in that case it was not.
Speaker 1: I have had emergencies the plump Tite had to deal
Speaker 1: with and they are there for you. They have an
Speaker 1: A plus with the our business pare of course license
Speaker 1: plumbers let you know when they're coming to your house
Speaker 1: by calling you ahead of time. I'll be there in
Speaker 1: twenty minutes, whatever the case may be.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: They are excellent customer services. I point out, never selling
Speaker 1: you anything you do not need, and the price is
Speaker 1: always right. Proudly serving Northern Kentucky, Kucky say it right, Brian,
Speaker 1: probably serving Northern Kentucky all the way up to date
Speaker 1: in the surrounding region. You know it's plumbing done right.
Speaker 1: They live by that motto online Plumb Tight t te
Speaker 1: plump Tight dot com five one three seven two seven
Speaker 1: eighty four eighty three five one three seven two seven tight.
Speaker 3: This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 1: If you missed our twenty twenty seven twenty two. If
Speaker 1: you have KCV talk station, you're going to head over
Speaker 1: to the phones fair communicate with the last John. We
Speaker 1: have a different job on the phone right now. John,
Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning. Happy Monday to you.
Speaker 4: Well, I have to be Monday.
Speaker 7: Brian. Hey, I've got a peace takes to just rip
Speaker 7: off the point I get to my point of courts
Speaker 7: of Bob.
Speaker 10: Russian peace. Christophson, thank you for the music. And I
Speaker 10: called about Ukraine. I'm kind of mixed emotions on Ukraine.
Speaker 10: Wood's a bad guy, we know.
Speaker 7: But Ukraine has never been a real friend of the
Speaker 7: United States until now when they need us. They want
Speaker 7: her money, they want their weapons, and that's sort of
Speaker 7: thinking as bad as Putin is. From what I understand
Speaker 7: or have read that the leader of Ukraine has not
Speaker 7: really a nice guy himself.
Speaker 10: And if Trump becomes president and he decides.
Speaker 1: We don't need to and.
Speaker 11: Star money and time and weapons and things from Ukraine,
Speaker 11: which has never been a friend, then it will look
Speaker 11: like he's taken sides to a Russia.
Speaker 1: But what do you think, Well, of course the left
Speaker 1: is going to say that. I mean, there are conflicts
Speaker 1: raging usually all the time, all year long around the globe.
Speaker 1: We sort of pick and choose the ones we want
Speaker 1: to fight and the ones we don't. I mean, you
Speaker 1: ask Bill Clinton what his biggest disaster on his watch
Speaker 1: when he was president was the genocide in Rwanda, where
Speaker 1: literally hundreds of thousands of people were slaughtered. Did we
Speaker 1: go in and do anything there? Did the UN go
Speaker 1: in and do anything there?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. It just happened. Happened to be on his watch.
Speaker 1: Pick and choose your winners and losers. I guess there
Speaker 1: wasn't enough interest in Rwanda and to benefit the United
Speaker 1: States for US to intervene in that challenge. I think
Speaker 1: this was driven largely because of the global perception of
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin. Is this evil guy who wants to rebuild
Speaker 1: the Soviet Union in the former image of threats to
Speaker 1: all the NATO countries that are butting up against Ukraine
Speaker 1: and butting up against Russia. There are allies, there are friends,
Speaker 1: and they view Russia as probably a bigger threat than
Speaker 1: perhaps we should or do. But that's how you get
Speaker 1: roped into one of these I don't know what the
Speaker 1: game plan is. I mean, if we had an actual
Speaker 1: strategy on this, it'd be nice to know what it is,
Speaker 1: and I think Trump wants to negotiate some sort of
Speaker 1: resolution which will require some concessions to Russia. What other
Speaker 1: purposes are they going to have spent the last three
Speaker 1: years there unless they get something to show to their
Speaker 1: citizens they got a victory out of the thousands and
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people that have been killed in
Speaker 1: this conflict. Hey, listen, it doesn't make a whole lot
Speaker 1: of sense to me. I just know that we're a
Speaker 1: country of limited resources. We've got genuine global threats to
Speaker 1: our best interest in the form of China and other
Speaker 1: evil actors like Iran. We're busy selling all of our
Speaker 1: weapons or giving all of our weapons to different countries
Speaker 1: around the world so they can deal with their challenges
Speaker 1: while we while depleting our own military. We can't even
Speaker 1: maintain enough servicemen and women to fight wars. If we
Speaker 1: end up in one, we've got major problems on our hands.
Speaker 1: And I don't think necessarily the resource of the United
Speaker 1: States of America, exhausted as they are, should continue to
Speaker 1: flow into a war that there is no apparent exit
Speaker 1: or victory strategy. Russia's army is much bigger. It's it's nuclear.
Speaker 1: They've got weapons they haven't even brought out yet that
Speaker 1: they could unleash on the Ukrainian people. I think the
Speaker 1: only reason they haven't done it is for fear of
Speaker 1: global condemnation. But I wish I had a better answer.
Speaker 1: But we've got more smarter people elected and smarter people
Speaker 1: running the show than me. John. At least that's what
Speaker 1: they tell us. They can't come up and they can't
Speaker 1: figure it out. It's said sorry, State of Affairs, seven
Speaker 1: twenty six, fifty five kr CD Talk station. Wish I
Speaker 1: could navigate that question better. If you can, you can
Speaker 1: feel free to call. We'll have a little more time
Speaker 1: later in the program to do that. The Christopher Smithman's

Speaker 1: Former Vice Mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smithman
Speaker 1: doing this smither Vent. Welcome back, Christopher. Always enjoy having
Speaker 1: you on the program. I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 9: I did.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much. I'm so happy to be with you.
Speaker 4: By Vent. This morning is going to be title Blackout, Blackout.
Speaker 4: And what I mean by that, Brian, is that ICE
Speaker 4: released numbers this weekend, maybe it was Friday, saying that
Speaker 4: over thirteen illegal immigrants entered our country that they defined
Speaker 4: as having committed.
Speaker 1: A murder thirteen thousand.
Speaker 4: Or thirteen thousand, thirteen thousand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just talking about these I was just
Speaker 1: talking about these criminal statistics ICE released earlier in the program.
Speaker 1: It's insane, my friend, and.
Speaker 4: Sixteen thousand rapists, almost sixteen thousand rapists. Now, let's just
Speaker 4: stop there.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: Now, let's just say that ICE's numbers are wrong, okay,
Speaker 4: and it's half of that. I mean, we should be
Speaker 4: shocked that this many criminals are rolling around, walking around
Speaker 4: our country and we don't know who they are. And
Speaker 4: when I say blackout, meaning the local, the mainstream media,
Speaker 4: whatever you want to say, Brian Thomas really did not
Speaker 4: report ICE's information. It wasn't discussed. You could go to
Speaker 4: a different network like Right Network and they were discussing it,
Speaker 4: but if you went on ABC or MSNBC or CNN,
Speaker 4: they just weren't discussing this. And it's scary. It's not
Speaker 4: just what I try to share with you know, citizens,
Speaker 4: I know you're listening audience understands this very sophisticated audience
Speaker 4: that is not just what people report on, is what
Speaker 4: they don't report on. And that's why I started my
Speaker 4: commentary with you blackout. How could you not inform American
Speaker 4: citizens of this kind of data. Whether the data is
Speaker 4: over five years, ten years, forty years, whatever you want
Speaker 4: to debate, the reality of it is that this many
Speaker 4: people are walking around our country who came in illegally.
Speaker 4: And whether it's thirteen thousand, our six thousand or seven thousand,
Speaker 4: or it's eight thousand rapists, not fifteen thousand rapists. That
Speaker 4: should make all of us terrify.
Speaker 1: No question about it, Christopher. I mean, I've got a
Speaker 1: daughter and she's little older than yours. But you got
Speaker 1: a young daughter, and I'm sure this is the kind
Speaker 1: of thing that runs through your mind.
Speaker 4: One hundred percent, Bryan Thomas, you and I'm just sitting
Speaker 4: here going where. That's why it's the number one issue
Speaker 4: that voters are talking about going into the election, right
Speaker 4: that they're concerned about their safety, any crime, safety, whatever
Speaker 4: words you want to use, is number one of what
Speaker 4: people And then when you go into states like Georgia
Speaker 4: and you see Lake and Riley murdered, a nursing student
Speaker 4: going out and going on a run what lots of
Speaker 4: college students kids, college students do. But she's dead, and
Speaker 4: she and her family and the Georgians, george Indians or whatever.
Speaker 4: I'm ready to fines us, those residents of Georgia understand
Speaker 4: that Lake and Riley would be alive if public policy
Speaker 4: and Washington was different. And then they see these numbers
Speaker 4: like this coming out of Ice. It has to blow
Speaker 4: them away. Meaning I understand what you said, about my daughter,
Speaker 4: and I understand what you and I believe that about
Speaker 4: your daughter, But think about those daughters that have already
Speaker 4: been raped and murdered by people that are on this list.
Speaker 1: Yeah, betrayal is a word that jumps into my mind.
Speaker 1: And you've been betrayed by your government for its failure to,
Speaker 1: uh well, prevent the threats from abroad as well as
Speaker 1: domestic threats. And one of the easiest ways to prevent
Speaker 1: us from in having an invasion and then have domestic
Speaker 1: threats is to prevent the invasion and the criminal element
Speaker 1: from coming into our country from abroad, and they have
Speaker 1: failed epically on that. Let's stop. We'll bring Christopher back
Speaker 1: from more of the Smith event coming up in seven
Speaker 1: thirty six and fifty five. Care see the talk station
Speaker 1: get in touch with Chimneycare, Fireplace and Stove. Yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: you had some damage to your chimney or water damage. Absolutely, Chimneycare,
Speaker 1: Fireplace in Stove deals with water damage in chimneys. They
Speaker 1: do tuck pointing and relining, and they have a video
Speaker 1: camera inspection to check your entire chimney to find out
Speaker 1: anything wrong in there, like a simple sweep. Certified chimney
Speaker 1: sweeps will take care of that to prevent you from
Speaker 1: having a chimney fire. For those folks using wood burning stoves,
Speaker 1: gas stoves also need to be are fireplaces also need
Speaker 1: to be inspected as well, and they do that and
Speaker 1: they adjust them. Make sure there's no carbon monoxide issues.
Speaker 1: Get a carbon monoxide detector. We'll also clean out your
Speaker 1: dryer event. If your dryer event's clogged, that's a fire hazard,
Speaker 1: but it's also energy consumer because it's taken longer feet
Speaker 1: to dry your clothes with a clogged dryer event. Literally
Speaker 1: everything is taken care of by the Chimneycare Fireplace and
Speaker 1: stove locally uninoperated since nineteen eighty eight. Go ahead, have
Speaker 1: that free standing stove installed. Get your fireplace insert installed.
Speaker 1: I got one from their showroom.
Speaker 2: It's awesome.
Speaker 1: Love that fireplace insert and they do have a complete selection.
Speaker 1: Showroom is located at four thirteen Wards Corner Road. The
Speaker 1: company is located online at chimneycarecode dot com. A plus
Speaker 1: with a better business beer. Check them out online Chimneycare
Speaker 1: code dot com. Call them up five one three two
Speaker 1: four eight ninety six hundred. That's two four eight ninety
Speaker 1: six hundred.
Speaker 3: This is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 1: Seven here forty five KRSITE talk station. Always look forward
Speaker 1: to this time of weekend, specific time period because we're
Speaker 1: talking to Christopher Smith and when a Smither event, former
Speaker 1: Vice Many of the City since Sant joins the program
Speaker 1: every Monday to do that. Let's continue the rant Christopher.
Speaker 1: We took a little break there and now have at it.
Speaker 4: Brian, thanks her again for allowing me to come on
Speaker 4: and have this segment with you each Monday from seven
Speaker 4: thirty to eight. I started off saying, you know, my
Speaker 4: commentary brother was was called Blackout. You know that I'm
Speaker 4: not a sports fan, right, so that's just where I am.
Speaker 4: I follow politics like people follow sports. And so former
Speaker 4: President Trump went to the big football game Georgia against
Speaker 4: Alabama and seemed to be received very well. And I
Speaker 4: don't know if you saw any of that over the weekend,
Speaker 4: but what was so alarming is the lack of coverage
Speaker 4: on the other stations. So it's like it's like avoiding
Speaker 4: that he's there, commenting that he's there, and then basically say, oh,
Speaker 4: we found some people that didn't like that he was there.
Speaker 4: There are one hundred thousand people in the stadium. Everybody
Speaker 4: is not going to support the former president, and you
Speaker 4: can find people, but overwhelmingly it looked like he was received. Well,
Speaker 4: did you see any of that over the weekend?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and I show I saw the game that
Speaker 1: Tim Wall showed up that where he was being booed
Speaker 1: while he was out on the street. Yeah. Again, doesn't
Speaker 1: represent all the people's opinions or attitude, but a really
Speaker 1: striking difference between the two receptions on what you're looking
Speaker 1: at exactly.
Speaker 4: And then the news networks, the mainstream news networks didn't
Speaker 4: cover that. They didn't cover the booing, but they also
Speaker 4: did not cover the handclapping of the other candidate. And
Speaker 4: so it's so obvious that the mainstream media, if you're
Speaker 4: Stevie Wonder, you can see that they're in the tank.
Speaker 4: This is not me talking about whether I support one
Speaker 4: candidate or the other. I'm saying I've never witnessed in
Speaker 4: my lifetime since I've been following politics a mainstream media
Speaker 4: so in the tank for one candidate over the other candidate.
Speaker 1: Or one party. I mean, if you go back to
Speaker 1: the border thing that you pointed out earlier, there's been
Speaker 1: a media blackout on reporting on the Southern Bard in
Speaker 1: the mainstream media. I mean for years now Fox News
Speaker 1: and conservative outlets were the only ones that were reporting
Speaker 1: on it. That stream and influx of people has been
Speaker 1: well documented. It's been happening for years, video evidence of it.
Speaker 1: The numbers that have come in documented by ice in
Speaker 1: federal government, they're all horrific. The mainstream media will not
Speaker 1: report on anything that reflects poorly on the Democrats or
Speaker 1: its policies or its individual politicians. They just won't do it.
Speaker 4: They just will not do it. And I again, I
Speaker 4: think raising this issue, and I know you're listening, audience
Speaker 4: knows it. It's why they are attacking Elon Musk as
Speaker 4: hard as they're attacking him. Because there's a platform that
Speaker 4: was in the tank four years ago that's no longer
Speaker 4: in the tank, and so what happens is things that
Speaker 4: aren't being reported are being reported on this other platform
Speaker 4: called x are formally known as Twitter. It's very interesting
Speaker 4: how the guy who's out here putting electric cars, who
Speaker 4: Democrats say they love because he's changing the world with
Speaker 4: electric cars, is now seems like he's being depicted as
Speaker 4: enemy number one because he's saying I'm allowing people to
Speaker 4: express free speech on this platform. It's an amazing turn
Speaker 4: of events if people are watching all of this play
Speaker 4: out in this election.
Speaker 1: Well, and something I was really a Paul John Kerry
Speaker 1: was talking about that being a problem. He has a
Speaker 1: problem with the First Amendment. He was at a economic
Speaker 1: Form World Economic Form of the Green Energy on Wednesday
Speaker 1: last week. He says, quote, you know, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of discussion now about how you curb those entities in
Speaker 1: order to guarantee that you're not going to have some
Speaker 1: accountability on facts. But look, if people only go to
Speaker 1: one source, and the source they go to is sick,
Speaker 1: and you know, has an agenda and they're putting out disinformation,
Speaker 1: our First Amendment stands as a major block to be
Speaker 1: able to just you know, hammer it out of existence.
Speaker 1: He's referring to opposition to their messaging on climate change.
Speaker 1: He says, so what we need to do is win
Speaker 1: the ground, win the right to govern. He's talking about Democrats,
Speaker 1: by hopefully waving enough votes that you're free to be
Speaker 1: able to implement change. His change, of course, is to
Speaker 1: intrude on our First Amendment rights to speak freely on
Speaker 1: any given subject. It's scary, and he also pointed out democracies.
Speaker 1: Democracies are the problem.
Speaker 4: I mean I heard it. I absolutely heard what you heard,
Speaker 4: and it was just shocked by it all.
Speaker 1: Absolutely shocked, absolutely shocked.
Speaker 4: I mean meaning, free speech to all who are listening
Speaker 4: is on the ballot. Your ability to express yourself without
Speaker 4: penalty is on the ballot. You know, I think the
Speaker 4: exploration of oil right is on the ballot. People say, oh,
Speaker 4: these other things are on the ballot. I say, these
Speaker 4: are things my a free economic society, meaning moving away
Speaker 4: from socialism. When people say they want to tax unrealized
Speaker 4: gains that's on property, that's on stock, scary stuff. It
Speaker 4: is meaning I have a property that's worth X, you
Speaker 4: say you have to pay taxes on it, whether it
Speaker 4: drops from three hundred thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand.
Speaker 4: You've got to find a way to pay your long
Speaker 4: term capital gain on something you have and soul very
Speaker 4: scary stuff. Blackout My last comment before we go. Benjamin
Speaker 4: Nitt and Yahoo win and gave a speech at the
Speaker 4: UN on Friday, I believe it was, and during that
Speaker 4: speech he clearly had made the decision to assassinate the
Speaker 4: head of or the man Hassan Nassarala. I think that's
Speaker 4: how you pronounce his name. But he said we're going
Speaker 4: to assassinate him. What was so amazing by all of
Speaker 4: that is you have the Iranian delegation in front of
Speaker 4: him as he's delivering the speech. He doesn't communicate with
Speaker 4: the White House that he's going to do it. He
Speaker 4: doesn't tell the President, he doesn't tell any of the
Speaker 4: leadership in the United States of America that he's made
Speaker 4: this decision to do it. What does that tell us
Speaker 4: about how the nation of Israel thinks about the White
Speaker 4: House think about that. They say they are our greatest ally.
Speaker 4: We say they are our greatest ally in the Middle East,
Speaker 4: and they are, but they didn't trust us to tell
Speaker 4: us that they had made the decision to take out
Speaker 4: the leader of Hesbelah as he's giving the speech, finishes
Speaker 4: this speech and travels back. Because I don't know this
Speaker 4: to be true, I just heard it reported that the
Speaker 4: Jewish leadership are as Jews don't travel on that Friday
Speaker 4: to Saturday, but he did. He flew, He did this
Speaker 4: speech and went right back to Israel. Explain to me
Speaker 4: why he doesn't trust the White House to tell them
Speaker 4: this is what we're about to do. Total blackout, and
Speaker 4: the White House didn't know what happened until after it happened.
Speaker 1: Well, because the White House is busy walking that tightrope
Speaker 1: of trying to appease the core left wing element of
Speaker 1: its party, which hates Israel, well at the same time
Speaker 1: trying to maintain relations with our greatest part in the
Speaker 1: Middle East, Israel. It's an impossible tightrope to walk, and
Speaker 1: the Biden administration is demonstrated. I think it's more willing
Speaker 1: and in appeasing the anti Israel crew and it's party
Speaker 1: than it is in supporting our longtime ally. That's the
Speaker 1: only conclusion I can draw.
Speaker 4: Brother, I think you laid it out perfectly. It's why
Speaker 4: I'm voting early. Those that are traditionalists who set traditional
Speaker 4: voters that say they're voting on the day, I'm voting early.
Speaker 4: And one of the reasons I'm going to vote early
Speaker 4: is that it helps the campaigns that I'm supporting, because
Speaker 4: what it does is understand public that the candidates know
Speaker 4: that you voted, and they can then stop trying to
Speaker 4: get you out to vote. They can move on to
Speaker 4: somebody else. They can move to your neighbor. So the
Speaker 4: more you vote, the cheaper it is for the candidate
Speaker 4: and those those campaigns that you support, because they already
Speaker 4: know that your vote has been counted.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you might not vocus their attention on those who
Speaker 1: have not if for any reason vote early. Seed see
Speaker 1: you get less junk mail from politicians in your mailbox.
Speaker 9: That is no true.
Speaker 4: Brian the Man, thank you, thank you so much for
Speaker 4: having me on. I appreciate it. People can follow me
Speaker 4: on the social media platform called x. The last time
Speaker 4: I was on on Monday, I got a lot of

Speaker 1: kr CD talk station. It's Monday. It means time for
Speaker 1: money Monday with Brian James, Malworth Financial talking Money Matters.
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Brian James. Always good having you on the program.
Speaker 12: Good morning, and who day we finally get to say
Speaker 12: finally laboratory manner for once, Lison Boy.
Speaker 1: They actually played like it really meant something to them,
Speaker 1: didn't they.
Speaker 12: Well, yeah, Brian, the preseason is over right, this is
Speaker 12: the regular I don't know why the league insists that
Speaker 12: football starts in early September.
Speaker 1: It doesn't. It is late September, it is, But they
Speaker 1: knew they needed that win. Oh and three is virtually
Speaker 1: impossible to make it to the playoffs, but oh and four,
Speaker 1: I think I don't know if anybody's ever done it before. Anyway, Yes,
Speaker 1: it was nice to see the victory and they did
Speaker 1: play well anyhow, Moving over to well, question mark another
Speaker 1: FED rate cut, and I know that's the first topic
Speaker 1: of conversation since inflation cooled last month. But that seems
Speaker 1: to be tempered by what seems to be an inevitable
Speaker 1: East Coast port strike, which I heard might have a
Speaker 1: profound impact and inflationary pressures on us because the goods
Speaker 1: that we normally buy coming from all the East Coast
Speaker 1: ports won't be around. Yeah, this is a concern, right,
Speaker 1: So we've been through this before.
Speaker 12: Wasn't that long ago that you and I were talking
Speaker 12: about how many boats were stranded off the offshore out
Speaker 12: in Los Angeles and on the East Coast as well.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 12: The COVID responsible for that was, Yeah, we couldn't get
Speaker 12: the dock workers in. Nobody was allowed to go to
Speaker 12: work in close quarters, so we couldn't get dock workers
Speaker 12: in that that this is all.
Speaker 1: This goes back to the supply chain issues that we had,
Speaker 1: but similar impact.
Speaker 12: You can't get this stuff off the boats, then then
Speaker 12: the supply chain is impacted and that means there's less
Speaker 12: stuff on the shelves and so forth. So but let's
Speaker 12: start off with some good news here. At least the
Speaker 12: inflationary headlines are actually pretty good. So right now, the
Speaker 12: overall a PCEE inflation, that's that's kind of the big one.
Speaker 12: We look at rose by two point two percent year
Speaker 12: over year. We're getting back to what we know as normal,
Speaker 12: the FED two percent goal, that's that's what we throw
Speaker 12: out there all the time, but it's been a long
Speaker 12: time since we've actually made it down to two percent.
Speaker 12: We spend most of the time slightly above it. But
Speaker 12: the poortant thing is we're definitely not at nine like
Speaker 12: we were a couple of summers ago, and so we're
Speaker 12: kind of getting back in that normal range. But the
Speaker 12: core PCE that that's kind of more reality. That's still
Speaker 12: up two point seven percent from about a year ago.
Speaker 12: These are all good news, but but.
Speaker 1: Core is the one that does not include food and energy.
Speaker 1: That's correct, That's the one. I always like to make
Speaker 1: fun of that because literally every American person, anybody living,
Speaker 1: needs food and probably needs energy as well, So you
Speaker 1: can cut out and ignore everything else. But the bottom
Speaker 1: line is everybody's family's bottom line, and there's that bottom
Speaker 1: line always includes food and energy.
Speaker 12: Yes, yeah, you know, and you're right, obviously, it seems
Speaker 12: it's it seems stupid to say, well, if we don't
Speaker 12: think about these two.
Speaker 1: Well then the numbers are great, right. The losses the
Speaker 1: reds were undefeated this year.
Speaker 12: So but no, the reason they and I understand the
Speaker 12: reason that they do it because it would be chaos,
Speaker 12: and we have to look at both of them. Food
Speaker 12: and energy can be very, very volatile, and it can
Speaker 12: it can change the change the conclusions you can draw
Speaker 12: from this information. So it's not about looking at one
Speaker 12: or the other, it's about looking at both. Yeah, So
Speaker 12: if we focus on the super violatile stuff, then we'll
Speaker 12: be in panic mode all the time.
Speaker 1: We got to look at the other things as well.
Speaker 1: So I get it, But yeah, it does. It does
Speaker 1: seem a little bit chaotic. Well, if we didn't have
Speaker 1: the impending strike on the docks or the ports. So
Speaker 1: is it expected that the Fed is going to cut
Speaker 1: interest rates again or are we just going to ride
Speaker 1: out this most recent rate cut and see where things
Speaker 1: take us. Yeah, and that's kind of the bigger headline.
Speaker 12: So this report that we're looking at supports of the
Speaker 12: Federal Reserve's recent decisions and suggesting that that's having the
Speaker 12: desired effect. But we're not we where we want to be. Remember,
Speaker 12: the goal is still two percent. And the good thing
Speaker 12: is it does not seem to have caused that. We've
Speaker 12: got a rate cut that's in the headlines. We got
Speaker 12: one a couple of weeks ago, and the good news
Speaker 12: is it does not seem to have caused inflation here
Speaker 12: in the very short run.
Speaker 1: That's the big concern.
Speaker 12: We could cut interest rates to zero, and if that
Speaker 12: caused a huge rush of investment, a huge rush of
Speaker 12: buying stuff, well then we're right back where we started
Speaker 12: because as we get inflation as a result, that's why
Speaker 12: we baby step a little bit. I did find it interesting,
Speaker 12: of course, that the first rate cut we got was
Speaker 12: fifty basis points, not twenty five, because the FED does
Speaker 12: like to tap the brakes and tap the gas, so
Speaker 12: we got kind of a two for one here a
Speaker 12: couple of weeks ago. But at this point, yes, it
Speaker 12: looks like we're going to continue in a rate cutting mode,
Speaker 12: which again that's good. We want to get back to
Speaker 12: lower rates. I would love for everybody who has a
Speaker 12: six or seven percent mortgage because they had to move
Speaker 12: during this timeframe. I would love for those people to
Speaker 12: get an opportunity to refinance. We're not there yet, Mortgage
Speaker 12: rates aren't down to what we want them to be yet.
Speaker 12: I would not pull the trigger on a refed just yet,
Speaker 12: but I would be paying attention.
Speaker 1: Okay, and then you anticipated where I wanted to go
Speaker 1: on that one. So interest rates for home loans, we
Speaker 1: expect them to go down with the FED cutting rates.
Speaker 1: How long does that usually take to have an impact.
Speaker 1: It's a lagging indicator, of course.
Speaker 12: Normally, what you want to look at if you want
Speaker 12: to monitor, you know, how interest rates move. It's the
Speaker 12: ten year treasury that normally banks are paying attention to
Speaker 12: when they're calculating their mortgage rates. So it can be
Speaker 12: three to six months, sometimes longer. Obviously every time we
Speaker 12: go through this is different, but that's the thing you
Speaker 12: want to look at if you're interested in monitoring this.
Speaker 12: Pay attention to the yield on the tenure treasury and
Speaker 12: then you know, kind of take mental stock of it
Speaker 12: every couple of weeks and see what direction it's going.
Speaker 12: That when you start to see it sliding downhill and
Speaker 12: gaining momentum downhill, that's when you're going to want.
Speaker 1: To start to research interest rates. All right, fair enough,
Speaker 1: if somebody already has a home, might it might be
Speaker 1: a great time to refinance, particularly if they bought within
Speaker 1: the last couple of years under high industrates. However, let's
Speaker 1: assume the trajectory goes downward and we get interest rates
Speaker 1: more aligned with what we've been used to of late
Speaker 1: four percent, four and a half or something along those lines.
Speaker 1: Sounds optimistic, but until you have more housing supply, that's
Speaker 1: not going to do anything. Housing is going to get
Speaker 1: more expensive with more people believing they're in the realm
Speaker 1: of monthly payment affordability with that lower interest rate. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's absolutely true.
Speaker 12: The thing that's interesting to me is I'm curious as
Speaker 12: to why there isn't more construction, because we know the
Speaker 12: demand is there. And I'm not saying there isn't construction.
Speaker 12: You know, I'm up in here in the Northern Urbs
Speaker 12: and there's there's plenty of neighborhoods going up, not like
Speaker 12: it was ten years ago, but yeah, there does seem
Speaker 12: to be a decent amount of activity. However, we are
Speaker 12: not yet tracking the you know, the demand for it.
Speaker 12: So I part of me thinks that might be because
Speaker 12: the demand is there anyway, and people are apparently still
Speaker 12: willing and able to pay, albeit grumpy about it, nobody's smiling,
Speaker 12: but people are still writing the checks because otherwise we'd
Speaker 12: have had a housing collapse. So I kind of wonder
Speaker 12: if we're not at or at least in the opinion
Speaker 12: of home construction construction companies, are we at equilibrium, We're
Speaker 12: at the right place where we can create just enough
Speaker 12: and it will all get consumed and we make a
Speaker 12: bunch of money off of it.
Speaker 1: I don't know, yeah, I mean, we just seemed that
Speaker 1: the disappearance of what used to be deemed an affordable home.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that number is. Maybe it was
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty or two hundred thousand or two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty, but you know, throughout the pandemic with
Speaker 1: people buying up real estate, all those turned into two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty to four hundred thousand dollars homes. And
Speaker 1: and you know, if you're building a new home, a
Speaker 1: new home these days, and you're hoping to have been
Speaker 1: in that you know, quarter of a million dollar price
Speaker 1: range home, the market's going to force that upward anyway,
Speaker 1: simply because there's not a lot of that stock available.
Speaker 12: Right And now that that's been the reality for a
Speaker 12: few years, Brian, maybe that is the definition of an
Speaker 12: affordable home because we've squeezed out other things that we
Speaker 12: would we would be doing otherwise to declare that an
Speaker 12: affordable home.
Speaker 1: We don't get to control that so much.
Speaker 12: And I think a lot of people are willing to
Speaker 12: adjust their lifestyles rather than going for a less expensive
Speaker 12: home that's going to put them in a less desirable
Speaker 12: neighborhood or a house that just needs a lot more work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, just such a complex thing. It's just
Speaker 1: no simple solution. And you know, I don't I mean,
Speaker 1: I say what you want, abou Kamala Harris lover hate
Speaker 1: or whatever. I just don't see how giving someone twenty
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars for the down payment is going to
Speaker 1: make things easier to acquire a home when that's I
Speaker 1: think it seems to me economically speaking, like automatically causing
Speaker 1: the price of a home to jump by twenty five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it doesn't get at the root cause that. Frankly,
Speaker 12: the root cause is the demand. And I can't help
Speaker 12: but think about this big movement we're seeing where these
Speaker 12: where large corporations are buying up houses and to rent
Speaker 12: them out.
Speaker 1: We buy anything that is that is.
Speaker 12: Securitizable now gets securitized if I can turn it into
Speaker 12: investment I'm going to and that has created a whole
Speaker 12: new class of buyer that didn't exist before, and it
Speaker 12: reduces the available stock for everybody else.
Speaker 1: So I agree with you.
Speaker 12: Yeah, giving everybody twenty five thousand dollars in a round
Speaker 12: about Wait, isn't going to get at that root cause
Speaker 12: you know.
Speaker 1: I'm not the one that's going to advocate for marker
Speaker 1: for legislative solutions to deal with market forces. But that
Speaker 1: that really bothers me. I just I don't like having
Speaker 1: to compete with a multi billion dollar company that can
Speaker 1: acquire property that isn't really bothered by a one hundred
Speaker 1: or two hundred thousand dollars you know, change in price.
Speaker 12: Right, and it's not these things that come out from
Speaker 12: the government to support it just kind of for the
Speaker 12: we just can kind of continue down that path of
Speaker 12: not actually getting at the root cause and really getting
Speaker 12: what's going to truly help you.
Speaker 1: But but I don't hear anything on the other side either.
Speaker 12: Nobody has an answer to this because it would cry
Speaker 12: or poking the in the eye the largest donut donors
Speaker 12: of both sides.
Speaker 1: Oh well, we got to the root of the problem
Speaker 1: on that one. Brian James let's pause. Well, you and
Speaker 1: I would just get get together fix these problems. If
Speaker 1: they'd listened, we'd be good.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 1: Some practical advice from Brian James. Could you be reducing
Speaker 1: your social security by mistake? We'll learn some details on
Speaker 1: that one more with Money Monday's Brian James. After I
Speaker 1: mentioned QC Kinetics, What a great place to be at
Speaker 1: QC Kinetics. If you are somebody who's living with chronic pain,
Speaker 1: joint pain, like knee pain, hip pain, you know what,
Speaker 1: Going under the knife is not an option. I know
Speaker 1: that you want to do. You and pain pills there's addictive.
Speaker 1: You got problems with that and probably difficult to get
Speaker 1: them these days. You know, your body does heal itself.
Speaker 1: You get a cut, cuttle disappear in a couple of days.
Speaker 1: Your body's natural healing agents at work right there. Well,
Speaker 1: QC Kinetics makes those healing properties within your own body
Speaker 1: and concentrates them in the joints where you have pain
Speaker 1: to help heal and restore the achy areas. This treatment
Speaker 1: available right now here in the Greater Cincinnati area through
Speaker 1: QC Kinetics, which is the nation's leader in regenerative medicine.
Speaker 1: The results mean you can move again without pain. They've
Speaker 1: treated thousands of patients with incredible success. Finally get some
Speaker 1: relief from arthritis and injury pain without surgery or downtime
Speaker 1: or steroids or pain pills. Sounds impossible, doesn't it. Well,
Speaker 1: here's the challenge. If you got the pain in your knees,
Speaker 1: your shoulders, your hip of your back, you need to
Speaker 1: see if you're a good candidate for these new regenerative treatments.
Speaker 1: So find out. All you need to do is call
Speaker 1: to schedule a free consultation with QC Kinetics free. I'm
Speaker 1: going to figure out whether their regenerative medicine is right
Speaker 1: for you. Here's the number. Call and schedule the apployment.
Speaker 1: Get rid of that pain. Five one three eight four
Speaker 1: seven zero zero one nine. Five one three eight four
Speaker 1: seven zero zero one nine. That's one more time with
Speaker 1: five one three eight four to seven zero zero one
Speaker 1: nine on fifty five Krcity Talk station doing Monday Monday
Speaker 1: with Brian James. I appreciate all we're financial loaning them
Speaker 1: out every week for a few segments and were talking
Speaker 1: about could you be reducing your Social Security benefits by mistake?
Speaker 1: Just real quick observation I've been getting a conversation back
Speaker 1: and forth with a friend of mine in Florida, and
Speaker 1: she's showing me all these just the pictures and the
Speaker 1: damage absolutely horrific. But then again, all the way up,
Speaker 1: I mean a place like Ashville, North Carolina underwater. I
Speaker 1: mean that's inland. You know, it's a mountain region. I've
Speaker 1: been to Asheville a bunch of times. And I say
Speaker 1: all this to lead to I guess we can all
Speaker 1: expect our property insurance premiums that go through the roof. Brian,
Speaker 1: any quick comment on that.
Speaker 12: Yeah, what I'll say to that is is there's a
Speaker 12: lot of people obviously in this area who are snowbirds
Speaker 12: and have property you know, most common elsewhere as well.
Speaker 1: People Yes, oh yeah, you better believe it.
Speaker 12: And and like you said, these these yeah, these these
Speaker 12: the water line keeps moving in right. Every time we
Speaker 12: have a big storm, insurance company will figure out where
Speaker 12: they where, they decide that you are close to water
Speaker 12: versus not, and therefore you pay a little more. But
Speaker 12: one thing I've started to do, Brian, when we have
Speaker 12: financial plans for somebody who either already owns or intends
Speaker 12: to purchase property down there as kind of a vacation
Speaker 12: home or whatever we have. We we mined to two
Speaker 12: line items. We're going to have whatever the mortgage is
Speaker 12: for that property if they didn't pay cash. And then
Speaker 12: a second line item we're going to start to plan
Speaker 12: for is what is the cost of owning that place?
Speaker 12: And to begin with, because that'll never go away, the
Speaker 12: HOA costs, the property taxes if there are any, and
Speaker 12: most importantly, the insurance. So yeah, we are starting to
Speaker 12: plan around that from a budgetary purpose.
Speaker 1: Good as well, everyone should. All right, moving over to
Speaker 1: Social Security? How can we be reducing our ultimate Social
Speaker 1: Security check? Yeah, So a couple things sneaking up.
Speaker 12: If you're looking at retirement, you're thinking about filing for
Speaker 12: SoC security at some point in the near future, that
Speaker 12: decision is not only impacted by when you turn on
Speaker 12: your Social Security spigot, It can be impacted by the
Speaker 12: stuff that you're doing now before you look at ever filing.
Speaker 12: So one of the big things that people kind of
Speaker 12: trip over sometimes is how is this calculated in the
Speaker 12: first place. So the root cause, the root math behind
Speaker 12: your social security calculation is based off your highest thirty
Speaker 12: five years worth of earnings, right, And I said highest.
Speaker 12: So this has good components, has bad components. If first
Speaker 12: of all, if you only work for thirty years, then
Speaker 12: you're gonna have five years that are listed as zero.
Speaker 1: That's a bad thing. It's gonna drag that number down.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, and a lot of people get
Speaker 1: confused by this as well.
Speaker 12: Some people say, you know, I really liked it. I
Speaker 12: don't want to retire, not ready yet, but I do
Speaker 12: want to back off a little bit. I want to
Speaker 12: take an easier job or just just kind of baby
Speaker 12: step into retirement. But I'm worried that's gonna hurt my
Speaker 12: Social Security. And the answer to that is it probably won't,
Speaker 12: right because remember it's all about your thirty five highest
Speaker 12: years of history.
Speaker 1: If your last few years are.
Speaker 12: Lower than your first thirty five, then it's not going
Speaker 12: to impact anything at all. But if they're also, if
Speaker 12: there's something there more than zero that's actually going to
Speaker 12: help you, if just to get you to that thirty five.
Speaker 12: So just to understand how that works.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, anything else we're doing to screw up
Speaker 1: the we get while we're running Social Security, yeah, some
Speaker 1: other things to trip over.
Speaker 12: So if you are if you plan on receiving social
Speaker 12: Security before you actually retire, right this is this is
Speaker 12: while you're working. Then you're gonna run something called the
Speaker 12: earnings test in twenty twenty four. If you earn more
Speaker 12: than twenty one, two hundred and forty dollars and you
Speaker 12: turn on your Social Securities bigot, your benefits are going
Speaker 12: to be reduced by a dollar for every two dollars
Speaker 12: you earn above the limit. Full retirement age is going
Speaker 12: to be somewhere between age sixty six and sixty seven,
Speaker 12: depending on when.
Speaker 1: You were born.
Speaker 12: So just remember a lot of people want to convince
Speaker 12: themselves that social Security is going to go poof overnight,
Speaker 12: because that's the drum beat out there. That's not true,
Speaker 12: by the way, but that's a different discussion. So they'll
Speaker 12: turn that's bigot on right away just to make sure
Speaker 12: they get something. And then they realize that they're giving
Speaker 12: a chunk of it back because they are still working
Speaker 12: prior to full retirement age.
Speaker 1: So be careful how you do that. A lot of
Speaker 1: people considering working at least part time during the retirement age.
Speaker 1: So that figure is that so you can earn up
Speaker 1: to that number you gave is twenty and forty before
Speaker 1: has any impact. It's the dollars earned over that that
Speaker 1: result in that ratio you mentioned. That's correct, and that's
Speaker 1: all before four retirement age. You can work as much
Speaker 1: as you want. Warren Buffett gets his full social Security check. No, okay,
Speaker 1: after four retirement is oh betting up a potential new
Speaker 1: discussion on how you could reform social Security anyway? Moving
Speaker 1: to a state that taxes benefits, Yeah.
Speaker 12: There are a few out there, and unfortunately we don't
Speaker 12: the sound of our voices right now unless you're listening
Speaker 12: to the podcast somewhere is not impacted. Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky
Speaker 12: are not on these lists. There are thirteen states that
Speaker 12: do tax social Security. That's Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska,
Speaker 12: New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, and West Virginia.
Speaker 12: If you're planning on retiring to any of those dates,
Speaker 12: just be mindful your che social curity check is going
Speaker 12: to drop a little bit.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, six ways to build a successful retirement,
Speaker 1: plus a bunch of ugly truths about retirement, but a
Speaker 1: figure that I want Brian to address when we come back.
Speaker 1: Just what would two hundred mere dollars per month. Do
Speaker 1: if you just start investing when you're twenty five years old,
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars a month towards your retirement is an
Speaker 1: amazing figure. Eight twenty five fifty five kc DE Talk

Speaker 1: here with Monday Monday's Brian James, as we dive into
Speaker 1: ways to build a successful retirement that would be a
Speaker 1: part of your social security, but something you do independently.
Speaker 1: And I love this fact that you provided in the
Speaker 1: materials the go Banking rates dot Com twenty seven ugly
Speaker 1: trews about retirement. But I two hundred dollars a month
Speaker 1: at age twenty five, Brian, how much could you have
Speaker 1: by age sixty five with just two hundred a month?
Speaker 1: So let's cut to the chase. The answer, the too long,
Speaker 1: didn't read answer, is just do it. It's a good idea. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Buch in the stock market for forty years.
Speaker 12: So but let's look at the math underneath it, because
Speaker 12: because I think it makes a lot of sense, Brian,
Speaker 12: for everybody to exhale and just look at history to
Speaker 12: understand what we're signing up for. So if I start,
Speaker 12: if I'm twenty five, and I start investing two hundred
Speaker 12: dollars a month at age twenty five, and I grow
Speaker 12: it until full retirement age ish around my mid sixties,
Speaker 12: that assuming the long term average of the stock market
Speaker 12: with reinvested dividends, believe it or not, is ten percent.
Speaker 12: I know that sounds like bolooney, but that is literally
Speaker 12: what it is. So assuming we get that rate of return,
Speaker 12: than that two hundred bucks a month over forty years
Speaker 12: compounds to about one and a quarter million dollars, right,
Speaker 12: which is that that's a real sum of money. And
Speaker 12: somebody out there is screaming, Bologney, we can't calculate ten
Speaker 12: percent rates of return, and I understand that. I know
Speaker 12: it can be over a forty year time period. That's
Speaker 12: that's reliable because it has been for a long time.
Speaker 12: That's what we've gotten the last twenty years. So let's
Speaker 12: do it again, Brian, and let's assume six percent rate
Speaker 12: of return more conservative right now, we're talking four hundred
Speaker 12: thousand dollars. The answer is do it long term investing.
Speaker 12: The stock market is where it's all at. Don't get
Speaker 12: sucked into the short term swings and the flashy things
Speaker 12: on the side. Those are okay for you know, side investments.
Speaker 12: Take take a flyer on something, But the core of
Speaker 12: everybody's portfolio needs to be the US stock market. There's
Speaker 12: just nothing else out there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there are people out there that say, well,
Speaker 1: it's crazy and you know, the world's going to come
Speaker 1: in and the fiad currency's going to end, you know,
Speaker 1: gloom and doom, it's all gonna end, blah blah blah. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, if that's your attitude, then there's nothing anybody
Speaker 1: can say to convince you otherwise. But for the sane,
Speaker 1: rational folks who at least believe in some longevity for
Speaker 1: our country, it's only two hundred bucks a month that
Speaker 1: it could really do a wall, really really well serve
Speaker 1: you for your retirement. Absolutely.
Speaker 12: And for those out there who kind of lean that way,
Speaker 12: who kind of lean a little pessimistic, I have a
Speaker 12: way for you to think about it too. Remember who
Speaker 12: pulls the strings in our society? Where do the largest
Speaker 12: dollars come from that go to the politicians who make
Speaker 12: all of our decisions for us. It comes from the
Speaker 12: publicly traded companies. They don't care. We've talked about this
Speaker 12: many many times. They do not care who's in office.
Speaker 12: Blue red, doesn't make any difference. All they care about
Speaker 12: is knowing what kind of administration is democratic or Republican,
Speaker 12: so they know which playbook to pull out. They're gonna
Speaker 12: throw a bunch of money, Adam, no matter what, which
Speaker 12: means publicly traded companies are going to get the lion's
Speaker 12: share of the benefits of the decisions that we make.
Speaker 12: The good thing about it is you get to invest
Speaker 12: in them. But you've got to learn your history and
Speaker 12: be prepared for the ups and downs well.
Speaker 1: And of course you have to take advantage of the
Speaker 1: four oh one K or other retirement programs that are
Speaker 1: be able to do this. But quite often, you know,
Speaker 1: if you're working for an employer with a four oh
Speaker 1: one K, that comes along with a you know, a
Speaker 1: small measure of employee match but or employer match, but
Speaker 1: it's something, and you're walking away from free money if
Speaker 1: you don't take advantage of that.
Speaker 12: If it's offer, absolutely so that would that would compound
Speaker 12: that two hundred bucks a month for forty years. Well,
Speaker 12: let's let's make it two hundred and I didn't do
Speaker 12: this math, but make it two hundred and fifty. Make
Speaker 12: it three hundred, because somebody else is throwing more money
Speaker 12: in on top in the form of a four to
Speaker 12: h one k match or profit sharing, and now there's
Speaker 12: there's just exponentially more dollars for you. But again, learn
Speaker 12: the history, learn how the machine works. If you figure
Speaker 12: out how it works, it doesn't take a lot of
Speaker 12: maintenance over time. Everybody's financial plan for the first thirty
Speaker 12: years is three things. Invest in the stock market, don't
Speaker 12: panic when it wobbles, and don't make a mess of
Speaker 12: your credit. Do that for thirty years you'll have something
Speaker 12: to worry about before retiring, which is.
Speaker 1: A good thing, right well, And the other component is,
Speaker 1: and sadly many of us, and I'll throw myself right
Speaker 1: on in there, don't take as good care of our
Speaker 1: health as we should. And that could really truly impact
Speaker 1: your retirement and your comfort level.
Speaker 12: Absolutely. So there's two components to this. We talk about
Speaker 12: health care and retirement, there's two flavors. Right, we all
Speaker 12: got to go to the doctor and get our meds
Speaker 12: and all those ongoing things, and that just increases, unfortunately
Speaker 12: in frequency as we age. So the estimate is somewhere
Speaker 12: in the three and ten three hundred and fifteen thousand
Speaker 12: dollars range is what it will cost someone from retirement
Speaker 12: age to the end of life just to keep going
Speaker 12: to the doctor and just for normal health maintenance. That
Speaker 12: is not and I want to stress this, that does
Speaker 12: not include people who find themselves in a situation where
Speaker 12: they need long term care. That if that happens, which
Speaker 12: is about seventy percent of people are going to need
Speaker 12: some long term care stint in their lives, that's another
Speaker 12: three hundred thousand dollars depending on where you live. So
Speaker 12: these are things that we don't really pay attention to.
Speaker 12: These are expenses we don't really think about because they
Speaker 12: will pile up and they'll increase compared to what we're
Speaker 12: used to it when we're younger and healthier. So it's
Speaker 12: something that makes basically make sure you have on your radar.
Speaker 1: Well, something that has always concerned me that is overspending
Speaker 1: on housing. And I know after on the heels of
Speaker 1: our discussion about housing costs and the availability of housing.
Speaker 1: It's a difficult thing to factor into the equation, but
Speaker 1: you know, being house poor is very bad for your
Speaker 1: financial future.
Speaker 12: The people that I have worked with where we sit
Speaker 12: down and do a retirement plan and it looks like
Speaker 12: they're fine on paper, but it kind of scares me
Speaker 12: is the ones that go out and buy a really
Speaker 12: big house because they've convinced they've themselves.
Speaker 1: They deserve it right when they retire.
Speaker 12: All of a sudden, they've moved to this big, fancy
Speaker 12: neighborhood and they've got a five bedroom house for really
Speaker 12: no reason they could. They've convinced themselves that the kids
Speaker 12: are going to come home and they're going to bring
Speaker 12: their grandkids and everybody will have a place to stay.
Speaker 1: That never happens, by the way. People don't want to
Speaker 1: do that, but those are the ones.
Speaker 12: They wind up with a thirty year mortgage for the
Speaker 12: rest of their lives and it winds up being an
Speaker 12: anchor around their necks, and they truthfully, they wind up
Speaker 12: selling in sort of a distress manner, not necessary financially,
Speaker 12: but mad at themselves if they did it in the
Speaker 12: first place, and that will cause them to take lower
Speaker 12: than what they would other ones.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just laughing at the idea of a single car
Speaker 1: just a couple living at a five bedroom home. Hey,
Speaker 1: we all have choices to make. If that's within your
Speaker 1: financial ability, knock yourself out. It just doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1: I don't care if I'm sitting on twenty million dollars.
Speaker 1: The idea of living in a monster his house with
Speaker 1: just my wife and he just seems counterintuitive. You got
Speaker 1: those rooms clean? I mean the furniture alone, anyway, Brian.
Speaker 12: Those rooms get awful dusty waiting for every fifth Christmas
Speaker 12: when somebody sleeps in.
Speaker 1: Oh, isn't that true? Brian, Jay's money money. Appreciate you
Speaker 1: coming on the fifty five carsy morning tu every week.

Speaker 1: to welcome back to the fifty five KOC Morning Show JT. Townsend.
Speaker 1: He's a freelance writer, armchair detective, self described lifelong resident Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: author of the two thousand and nine regional bestseller Queen
Speaker 1: City Gothic. He was on the program to talk about
Speaker 1: that as well as twenty fourteenth Queen City Note. Tiorious
Speaker 1: his work appear in The Cincinnian Acquirer since a magazine,
Speaker 1: World Magazine, Crime Traveler, and Clues. He has presented over
Speaker 1: three hundred programs here in the greater Cincinnati area as
Speaker 1: part of his true crime lecture series, including Jack the Ripper,
Speaker 1: Lizzie Borden, and the Lindenberg Kidnapping. Also teaches his Cincinnati
Speaker 1: True Crime Detective class with the University of Cincinnati Communiversity Division.
Speaker 1: Welcome back, JT. Townsend. You're going to be doing an
Speaker 1: empower youth seminar this Thursday, beginning at seven pm on
Speaker 1: the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
Speaker 13: Could you have it back on the show, Brian, Always
Speaker 13: a pleasure to be on with you. Yes, I will
Speaker 13: be doing the Lincoln assassination Thursday at seven o'clock.
Speaker 1: All right, I know he was killed by John Wilkes
Speaker 1: booth Ford Theater. We all know the jokes that have
Speaker 1: come out over the here other than the play. You know,
Speaker 1: how was the play? But I've I never looked into this.
Speaker 1: It isn't I mean, I've never viewed it, the same
Speaker 1: as the Kennedy assassination. We help all these conspiracy theorists.
Speaker 1: I just figured this is some disgruntled, like terrorist fanatic
Speaker 1: who's angry that the slavery was over in the North
Speaker 1: won of the Civil War. But it's more than that.
Speaker 1: I understand.
Speaker 13: It's not a it's not a bad description of it, Brian.
Speaker 13: A lot of similarities to the Kennedy assassination, but the
Speaker 13: characters in the Lincoln assassination are fascinating. You've got John Wilkes.
Speaker 13: Booth stands alone among presidential assassins or attempters.
Speaker 9: He was not some.
Speaker 13: Pathetic loser like Lee Harvey Oswald and all the rest
Speaker 13: of them. This guy was an alpha male.
Speaker 1: A list actor, well a lot of questions.
Speaker 13: Yeah, the most handsome man in America.
Speaker 1: He was called really yes.
Speaker 13: And here is a case where we actually had a conspiracy.
Speaker 13: Booth not unlike Lee Harvey Oswald was killed before he
Speaker 13: could go to trial, but eight people were convicted in
Speaker 13: the Trial of the Century. It was a military tribunal
Speaker 13: before those people were executed, including Mary Sarat the first
Speaker 13: woman ever executed by the federal government. And four of
Speaker 13: them have served long prison terms. So we had an
Speaker 13: actual conspiracy here, just not a very good one.
Speaker 1: Now have you reviewed the evidence that led to their convictions,
Speaker 1: because you know, in the aftermath is something as profound
Speaker 1: as the assassination of a president, you know, looking to
Speaker 1: find those guilty and quick to bring around judgment to
Speaker 1: satisfy people because they want justice served. Was the evidence
Speaker 1: solid against those that were convicted and executed?
Speaker 13: That is an excellent question, Brian. They arrested two hundred people,
Speaker 13: but they only tried eight, and three of these people
Speaker 13: weren't even involved in the assassination. It was more like
Speaker 13: a kidnapped plot that never came about. People have debated
Speaker 13: for centuries. Now was Mary Sarat guilty of helping Booth?
Speaker 13: And doctor Samuel Mudd from your name is mud Fame?
Speaker 13: You know, did he actually help Booth? So there's a
Speaker 13: lot of controversy about just how guilty these people were.
Speaker 13: I suspect in a civil trial, not a military tribunal,
Speaker 13: some of these people would have been acquitted, and I
Speaker 13: don't believe it would have had any executions.
Speaker 1: Kind of figured that was what you were going to
Speaker 1: tell me. You know, it's the lawyer in my head
Speaker 1: a sort of a wheel spinning there, j T. What
Speaker 1: was the I guess the motivation just simply revenge or
Speaker 1: was there something they were hoping to accomplish, you know,
Speaker 1: like people claimed January sixth was going to overthrow the government.
Speaker 1: I might disagree with him on that, but that's what
Speaker 1: the suggestion is, that these folks think that they were
Speaker 1: going to bring about something more than just getting revenge
Speaker 1: on the man who was ultimately responsible.
Speaker 13: Right, well, the Civil War had just ended. It's good Friday.
Speaker 13: The whole of Washington, d c.
Speaker 1: And the North is celebrating.
Speaker 13: It just drove Booth crazy.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 13: He was a ham actor. Wasn't really a very good actor,
Speaker 13: but he was really good and he, you know, jumping
Speaker 13: around and sword fighting kind of way, that kind of actor.
Speaker 13: And I think he just, you know, he was so
Speaker 13: eaten up by the fact that he himself did not
Speaker 13: fight for the South, even though he believed in their cause,
Speaker 13: and he got an opportunity. He was picking up his
Speaker 13: mail at Ford Theater on that Friday, and the clerk
Speaker 13: let slip to him that Lincoln and his wife were
Speaker 13: going to be there that night, and the whole thing
Speaker 13: came together that day. Really not a lot of advance
Speaker 13: planning at all, and I think he thought that the
Speaker 13: South would welcome him with open arms if he kills Lincoln.
Speaker 13: And it was nothing that was nothing like what happened.
Speaker 13: The South was appalled that he did this. Really and yes,
Speaker 13: and unlike the Kennedy assassination, though tragic, we got Lyndon
Speaker 13: Johnson and the same policies went on. Lincoln's murder changed
Speaker 13: the course of post Civil War history through the reconstruction.
Speaker 13: Instead of getting Lincoln's kind and gentle with malice toward
Speaker 13: none charity for all, we've got Andrew Johnson's draconian measures
Speaker 13: against the South. And I think some of those problems
Speaker 13: are still reverberating today. In fact, you know, people think
Speaker 13: our political situation, you know, our discourse were more divided
Speaker 13: than ever before. Those people really haven't looked at the
Speaker 13: history of this crime. We just came out of a
Speaker 13: civil war over the most divisive issue in history, slavery,
Speaker 13: and nothing going on today can compare to what was
Speaker 13: going on in eighteen sixty five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I try to take comfort in that in these
Speaker 1: crazy interesting times we live in, ours we find ourselves
Speaker 1: living in because you know, like looking back at the
Speaker 1: Vietnam era protests, the bombings, the terrorist organizations both domestic
Speaker 1: and worldwide. I mean, it was a precarious, precarious time.
Speaker 1: Then this also an unbelievably divided time for our country,
Speaker 1: and yet we manage to persevere.
Speaker 13: Oh, the scope of this, I mean, it was so
Speaker 13: long ago. I don't know if you can compare it
Speaker 13: to really what's going on today in terms of the
Speaker 13: in terms of the ramifications, in terms of it being
Speaker 13: the first great news story in history. And then you
Speaker 13: have the execution of the Lincoln Conspirators, which was photographed
Speaker 13: with ten different photos. It was the first major news,
Speaker 13: first news event ever to be recorded in sequential photographs.
Speaker 13: And yeah, we executed a woman. Yeah that led to
Speaker 13: Andrew Johnson's impeachment. Oh really, Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Well I've learned a lot of this morning and just
Speaker 1: stretching the surface what you're going to be talking about.
Speaker 1: It's Thursday night. You begin at seven pm and got
Speaker 1: an hour and a half worth of this breakdown from JT.
Speaker 1: Who's remarkable and how he explains things. Are you going
Speaker 1: to do any Q and A. I know this is
Speaker 1: we can We can tune in from the comfort of
Speaker 1: our own home by just simply registering the Poweroamerica dot org,
Speaker 1: or we can show up in person at two twenty
Speaker 1: five North and Boulevard at the Empower Youth Studios.
Speaker 13: Exactly. Oh, definitely, we'll do a Q and A. I
Speaker 13: think that talks about an hour, certainly hoping they get
Speaker 13: some discussion and the conspiracy theorists will will probably be there. Brian,
Speaker 13: you should see when I do the JFK assassination.
Speaker 10: I'm doing that.
Speaker 13: I'm doing that Wednesday night at the dal Hie Township
Speaker 13: Library and it gets very contentious.
Speaker 1: Oh no, kidding to library. What time on Wednesday?
Speaker 13: That's seven pm at the dal High Township Library. Oh yeah,
Speaker 13: my JFK talks. I'm a former conspiracy guy and I'm
Speaker 13: a booth did it alone guy, and when you look
Speaker 13: at the evidence, you know it pretty much was a
Speaker 13: was a crazy loaner situation. There was no conspiracy in
Speaker 13: my opinion. But boy, I appear to be in the
Speaker 13: minority of that opinion.
Speaker 1: Well, well, would you cast yourself in the minority or
Speaker 1: majority when it comes to the Kennedy assassination.
Speaker 13: Oh, seventy percent of the people never accepted the warrant commission. Yeah,
Speaker 13: I used to be one of those conspiracy guys. And
Speaker 13: then you start looking at the evidence, and it was
Speaker 13: Lee Harvey Oswald all by himself. If this was just
Speaker 13: an ordinary homicide, he would have been quickly convicted. But
Speaker 13: the fact that you throw JFK in and imbuse it
Speaker 13: with all these lofty conspiracy things, but it was a
Speaker 13: pretty simple crime.
Speaker 1: Really well, Ruby didn't help anything by killing Lee Harpy
Speaker 1: because that just added fuel to the conspiracy fire he did.
Speaker 13: And in Lincoln we had the sergeant Boston Corbett, a
Speaker 13: I'll say this, a self castrated religious eunuch who shot
Speaker 13: Booth when they were trying to arrest him in that barn.
Speaker 13: So we've had Ruby and Boston Corbett, two just crazy
Speaker 13: avengers who who killed the assassin and spawned a thousand
Speaker 13: conspiracy theories.
Speaker 1: He's self castrated. Okay, that speaks volumes. There's a DSM
Speaker 1: five diagnosis in that one. JT.
Speaker 13: Indeed.
Speaker 1: Indeed, Well, it's great hearing from you today thanks to
