Speaker 1: to normal, I guess. I see Joe Strecker and the
Speaker 1: executive producer Booth missed having him around when I was here.
Speaker 1: I got a nice week off and I spend the
Speaker 1: time with my family and getting a lot of chores done.
Speaker 1: And you know, kind of said day this morning post
Speaker 1: Prance has died, and just heard the top of the
Speaker 1: hour news. Not a whole lot of information out other
Speaker 1: than obviously I think we all knew he was very,
Speaker 1: very sick, but timing mean he made it through another
Speaker 1: Easter anyway, Hope you in a nice easter as well.
Speaker 1: It was wonderful time at our house and got to
Speaker 1: celebrate my daughter's birthday which is today, Happy birthday to Lauren.
Speaker 1: But an enjoyable Easter celebration at the Thomas House yesterday.
Speaker 1: So thank you to my mom and to my wife
Speaker 1: for putting a whole dinner together. Was fantastic And feel
Speaker 1: free to call five on three seven eight hundred and
Speaker 1: eight two three taco with Town five fifty. If you
Speaker 1: have an AT and T phone and you got a
Speaker 1: comment about the pope passing away, I guess jd Vance
Speaker 1: got a visit in with him before he passed. If
Speaker 1: there's any connection to there, sorry, coming up the fifty
Speaker 1: five Cassey Morning Show. If it'd be President Kim Kober
Speaker 1: returned seven o five Saturday protests downtown blocking the streets?
Speaker 1: Question did they have a permit? Mare? I have to
Speaker 1: have provoll was there apparently riling the crowd up according
Speaker 1: to the notes I've got and violence, violence on the banks?
Speaker 1: Are you safe downtown at night? Care's a rather interesting
Speaker 1: article here than we believe, is that the inquire of
Speaker 1: the interview the mayoral candidates about safety and youthful well
Speaker 1: youth crime. It's kind of an amazing summary after purvol
Speaker 1: all these different programs that exist out there than just
Speaker 1: one after another after another after another. We're gonna do this,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do this, we funded this, we've founded this,
Speaker 1: we've done and things just seem to get worse. Corey
Speaker 1: Bowman rather abbreviated account of what he thinks need to
Speaker 1: be done, encouraging the model and importance of the family
Speaker 1: amen number one to that. I think the erosion of
Speaker 1: the family structure is probably the primary cause of all
Speaker 1: the problems we have in society, not all of them,
Speaker 1: but we had caring parents at home who cared about
Speaker 1: where their children were and brought them up with some
Speaker 1: measure or degree of ethics and morality, perhaps even religion.
Speaker 1: I think the world will be a much better place
Speaker 1: than it is right now. Anyhow, more on that later,
Speaker 1: but we'll talk with Ken Kober maybe a little bit
Speaker 1: about that. But the bank's violence, yes, it's a problem.
Speaker 1: Christopher Smith, Ivan seven twenty with the former Vice mayor
Speaker 1: of the City of Cincinnati doing the Smith Event. I
Speaker 1: always enjoy hearing from Christopher, and I hope you do too.
Speaker 1: It is Monday, so nine times out of ten we

Speaker 1: of nine times out of ten. We'll talk to stock
Speaker 1: market volatility. We'll talk about should you look at your
Speaker 1: four one gay no, is this a good buying opportunity?
Speaker 1: And where are the feder rate's gonna go up or down?
Speaker 1: Or sidewise? Plus empower you got bright Bart Francis Martel's
Speaker 1: during the Power You seminar We're gonna get a few
Speaker 1: of the details at eight forty from Francis Martel. So
Speaker 1: there's your line up today tomorrow of course. Daniel Davis
Speaker 1: deep dive. There's supposed to be a ceasefire between Ukraine
Speaker 1: and Russia, and both sides were accusing each other of
Speaker 1: violating it or something, and Donald Trump looking to pull
Speaker 1: the plug in the whole thing. Listen, if you guys
Speaker 1: don't sit down and start talking peace, I'm just done
Speaker 1: with it. I'm washing my hands of the whole matter.
Speaker 1: Leave it to Europe anyway. In sofar as the Pope passing,
Speaker 1: the most Reverend Dennis Schner, the Archbishop Ameritas Cincinnati, had
Speaker 1: this to say, please join me in praying for the
Speaker 1: repose of the soul of our beloved Pope Francis, who
Speaker 1: was the Vicar of Christ, the successor of Saint Peter,
Speaker 1: and a faithful shepherd of Jesus or Christ Church longbi
Speaker 1: remembered for his great compassion for the elderly, the sick,
Speaker 1: the unborn, the persecuted, and all those on the margins
Speaker 1: of society. Continuously reminded us that we are the stewards
Speaker 1: of God's creation and not its master, and he was
Speaker 1: an unwavering champion of world peace, after a life dedicated
Speaker 1: to proclaiming the good news of our Lord's saving love
Speaker 1: for us, that Pope Francis now inherit the reward of
Speaker 1: eternal rest with God. He was the first pope from
Speaker 1: the Southern Hemisphere, the first pope from the Americas, and
Speaker 1: the first non European elected in almost thirteen hundred years.
Speaker 1: Also the two hundred and sixty fifth successor of Saint Peter.
Speaker 1: So there's a couple of facts about Pope, whether or
Speaker 1: not you knew about him or not. And in other
Speaker 1: related news, perhaps unrelated, it was Easter yesterday, and the
Speaker 1: insanity in the world is never ceases to amaze me.
Speaker 1: You know, it's the It's it's Christianity's big day. I mean,
Speaker 1: you got Easter and Christmas, but I think Easter probably
Speaker 1: a little bit to higher up in the importance within
Speaker 1: the Christian faith. So it was with disgust I read this.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm in the stack of stupid early
Speaker 1: this morning, and people's condemnation and mocking of religion just
Speaker 1: for the sake of mocking it, I find horrific and disgusting.
Speaker 1: Let people live their own lives, but to mock people
Speaker 1: of faith merely, I think, just for the obscene joy
Speaker 1: and pleasure that those folks that mock get from mocking Christians.
Speaker 1: So of course we're in San Francisco for this one.
Speaker 1: A San Francisco based drag queen group apparently facing some
Speaker 1: backlash after its Easter performance Mocking Jesus and Christianity was
Speaker 1: actually marketed to children. Described as a controversial show you'd
Speaker 1: say held over the weekend. Future performances, some critics argue
Speaker 1: crossed the line making light of sacred Christian symbols and belief.
Speaker 1: Group has defended its performance in spite of the outrage
Speaker 1: expressed by many Christians and just regular folks who think
Speaker 1: it's really insane that you, I mean, you just choose
Speaker 1: and to mock something for the sake of mocking it.
Speaker 1: They claim it was meant to be an inclusive celebration
Speaker 1: of creativity and self expression. Sisters of Perpetual Will Indulgence
Speaker 1: described as a self professed excuse me, order of queer
Speaker 1: and trans nuns. That's in quotes, I guess that's at
Speaker 1: their website. Host of this year's event called No Easter
Speaker 1: Without the Tea event described as meaning to honor transgenderism,
Speaker 1: and features children's Easter egg hunt and costume contest, encouraging
Speaker 1: people to come dressed in drag as quote Hunky Jesus
Speaker 1: and Foxy Mary. Events. Promotional poster featured a tattooed depiction
Speaker 1: of Jesus is in quotes because you know you might
Speaker 1: disagree that it's actually depiction of Jesus. I'll let you
Speaker 1: decide that anyway. A tattooed depiction of Jesus surrounded by
Speaker 1: men in drag. Apparently this the event happens every year.
Speaker 1: Photos from past events show men dressed as Jesus wearing
Speaker 1: high heels dresses, holding signs reading can I get a
Speaker 1: gay men? And House hau is House of Jesus. The
Speaker 1: group encouraged children to attend the event, yet posted a
Speaker 1: warning advising parents that quote some may find the latter
Speaker 1: portion of the show inappropriate for young children clothes quote
Speaker 1: you think. Political director Logan Church from Catholic Vote slam
Speaker 1: the group's description of the event as art, calling it
Speaker 1: instead bigotry. Dressed in costume, urging Christians to push back
Speaker 1: against the mockery of their own faith, dating while we
Speaker 1: live in a country that defends free speech. That doesn't
Speaker 1: mean Christians are required to sit silently while our faith
Speaker 1: is ridiculed. But you know, you just got to question
Speaker 1: the motivation of these people. What is the point? Why
Speaker 1: do you feel compelled to mock something that people hold
Speaker 1: near and dear to their heart, that brings them joy
Speaker 1: in life, that gives them a hope beyond the nastiness
Speaker 1: and the squalor, the war, pestilence, and famine we face
Speaker 1: in this world every day, all the bad news. You
Speaker 1: know what, there's great Christians out there who still feel uplifted.
Speaker 1: They have something perhaps to look forward to. Their lives
Speaker 1: are in Christ's hands and they get joy from it,
Speaker 1: and you want to mock them for it. I just
Speaker 1: don't get it. These people are vile and rather disgusting.
Speaker 1: I could sum it up in those a couple of words,
Speaker 1: vile and disgusting. All in terms of the trans world.
Speaker 1: You've got a couple other stories here, and you know
Speaker 1: they're actually they're actually crazy. Let me think this this
Speaker 1: next story again. I feel like I'm in the stack.
Speaker 1: Is stupid this morning early, but it is the five
Speaker 1: o'clock hour. I am fresh off of vacation, so I
Speaker 1: got to do something to wake up right. Take your
Speaker 1: phone calls too, if you'd rather call and talk to me,
Speaker 1: I would love to hear from you. Now the phone
Speaker 1: call you need to make. For the best real estate
Speaker 1: agent team out there, it's the Sebrie Group of Caloriam
Speaker 1: seven Hill. They do great things. They provide value as
Speaker 1: a real estate agent, whether a buyer's agent or seller's agent.

Speaker 1: would at five one three seven zero eight three thousand,
Speaker 1: five one three seven zero A three thousand online seven
Speaker 1: zero eight three thousand dot.
Speaker 3: Com fifty five KRC just shy.
Speaker 1: Five twenty fIF about Karcity talk station. A very happy
Speaker 1: Monday to you all. In a special thanks to Dan
Speaker 1: Carroll and Kevin Gordon for covering for me last week.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you enjoyed hearing from them. I appreciate when
Speaker 1: they do cover for me. Okay, backcrap and sanity continues.
Speaker 1: Go ahead and you can make some heads or tails
Speaker 1: out of this. Moving away from the leftist celebrating Easter
Speaker 1: with a drag queen fiend event mocking Christians, we pivot
Speaker 1: over across the pond to London, where there was an
Speaker 1: interesting United Kingdom Supreme Court case. Guess what In the UK?
Speaker 1: Men are men, women are women. They only have two
Speaker 1: genders and that makes perfect sense according to the court
Speaker 1: unanimous decision. Of course, that angers the certain members of
Speaker 1: the LGBTQ crowd, notably the t where we had thousands
Speaker 1: of LGBTQ plus activists marching in London over the weekend,
Speaker 1: chanting and support for both trans rides and go ahead.
Speaker 1: Explain this to me Palestine, claiming it's part of the
Speaker 1: same struggle. The plight of the Palestinians is the same
Speaker 1: as the plight of I guess certain members within the
Speaker 1: category of LGBTQ plus. One speaker held in the Palestinian
Speaker 1: cause as quote the strongest shining light in a share
Speaker 1: fight for liberation. Just because you say it doesn't mean
Speaker 1: it makes sense, and it was Saturday described as radical
Speaker 1: demonstrators rallied in Parliament Square in opposition to the aforementioned
Speaker 1: British Supreme Court ruling affirming sex as a biologically binary
Speaker 1: also barring men who identifies women from accessing women only spaces.
Speaker 1: In other words, stay out of the women's restroom. You're
Speaker 1: a guy. I don't care what you think you are.
Speaker 1: They vandalize statues outside Parliament, including Suffragette and Millicent Faucet
Speaker 1: for reasons unknown to me. Crowds waving signs reading trans
Speaker 1: women are real women, not a court of the unit
Speaker 1: UK Supreme Court, They're not Biology is not binary. Actually
Speaker 1: it is, as the UK Supreme Court Palestinian flags also flying.
Speaker 1: One speaker to claring quote, we need to connect with
Speaker 1: the Palestine movement, the strongest shining light in this dark
Speaker 1: time that says no to hopelessness, no to cynicism, no
Speaker 1: to nihilism, and says yes to justice, freedom and liberation. Okay.
Speaker 1: One protester shouting one struggle, one fight Palestine trans writes
Speaker 1: you getting all this. Of course, the slogan drawing ridicule
Speaker 1: given the brutal repression of LGBTQ individuals and by Islamist regimes,
Speaker 1: especially Gaza's mas led government. Homosexuality remains criminalized in many
Speaker 1: parts of the Middle East. Hamas also enforced strict Sharia
Speaker 1: based laws in Gaza, where if you are a member
Speaker 1: of the LGBTQ plus a clus, sure you can be
Speaker 1: imprisoned or chucked off of a building. One author and
Speaker 1: described as podcaster a viva klompus and I don't know
Speaker 1: who that person is, but astutely observed the ignorance is astounding.
Speaker 1: Former IDF spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner said the chant
Speaker 1: reflects wilful ignorance or denial of the lived experiences of
Speaker 1: the LGBTQ plus Palestinians who flee to Israel seeking asylum
Speaker 1: of protection. Why because you're allowed to live your life
Speaker 1: in Israel freedom from prose persecution if you're in that
Speaker 1: community demonstration apparently growing your support for several leftist activists,
Speaker 1: including an organization called Flint Front for the Liberation of Intersex,
Speaker 1: non Binary and Transgender People splitters as distinct from the
Speaker 1: other organizations Transactual and one more trans kids deserve better
Speaker 1: initial cap on all those.
Speaker 4: I just.
Speaker 1: Let's see here. New Tolerance campaign offered a million dollars
Speaker 1: to support the LGBTQ plus Pride parade in Palestinian controlled territories.
Speaker 1: How's that going to go?
Speaker 5: Over?
Speaker 1: Challenge aim to highlight the differences in the treatment of
Speaker 1: LGBTQ plus individuals in Israel and Palestinian territories, noting that
Speaker 1: there is a clash of value between Israel and most
Speaker 1: of the Arab world. The president former log Cabin Republicans
Speaker 1: president Gregory t Angelo described the initiative as a wake
Speaker 1: up call to those identifying with the Queers for Palestine
Speaker 1: or Gaze for Gazam movements, two other organizations. According to NTC,
Speaker 1: the event could be a crucial step in advancing the
Speaker 1: rights there in the Arab world, where homosexuality again remains
Speaker 1: criminalized in many countries. In Israel, gay individuals can live openly.
Speaker 1: NTC points out many Arab nations where such freedoms are
Speaker 1: heavily restricted or outlawed. The group argues that the challenge
Speaker 1: could spark greater tolerance in liberalization in the region, potentially
Speaker 1: encouraging broader peace initiatives. However, here's the sailing point, folks,
Speaker 1: the feasibility of such a parade in Gaza or the
Speaker 1: West Bank, both under Palestinian rule, remains virtually impossible right
Speaker 1: because it's criminalized. There go ahead, stage an organization, stage
Speaker 1: of protests. God, these people are just bad crap insane.
Speaker 1: Five fifty five KRC detalk station. Let's get to some
Speaker 1: local stories coming up next after mention QC kinetics. You
Speaker 1: live with pain, you don't have to live with pain. Arthritis, pain,

Speaker 1: lot of folks. Starts when you get out of bed
Speaker 1: and this morning, in the morning, maybe even you feel
Speaker 1: it when you're laying in bed, thankfully and knockwood if
Speaker 1: there was any wood around. I don't struggle with arthritis pain,
Speaker 1: but I know you may have talked to your doctor
Speaker 1: about surgery, hitting hip replacement, in near replacement, that kind
Speaker 1: of thing. Maybe you've been dealing with pain medications, you've

Speaker 1: make it so anyway. Five one thirty seven, four nine
Speaker 1: fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty three talk don five
Speaker 1: fifty on et and chie phones. So betting on youth
Speaker 1: sports is a thing. Uh parallels a CPO counter staff
Speaker 1: in reporting credit where credits due. This is news to me.
Speaker 1: During public need between since a City Council and Board
Speaker 1: of Education council members, Scottie Johnson said illegal betting is
Speaker 1: taking place at youth sports events, claiming it acts as
Speaker 1: a catalyst to some of the shootings that the city
Speaker 1: has seen in the last year. You said during the
Speaker 1: meeting this past Wednesday, the parents are reportedly placing bets
Speaker 1: up to several thousand dollars on the outcomes of youth
Speaker 1: football games. Johnson claimed, the reason we've seen some of
Speaker 1: the shots fired gun play at these events is the
Speaker 1: ridiculous amount of money that's being bet on these youth games. Community,
Speaker 1: stop betting on our children, so CPO asked. In Saint Police,
Speaker 1: we have a Lieutenant John Cunningham quoted as saying, well,
Speaker 1: betting has been identified that yes, yes, as bad as
Speaker 1: it may sound, this has been known to occur. I
Speaker 1: don't have a specific shooting incident to tie it back to,
Speaker 1: but this has no place a youth sporting event. Focus
Speaker 1: needs to be on supporting our youth and as they
Speaker 1: are involved in positive recreational activities, role models and mentors. Well,
Speaker 1: that's fine. They're guessing that shootings are related. They don't
Speaker 1: have any specific incident. They cite this October twenty fourth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four shooting. Twenty nine year old Lamont Ragan
Speaker 1: arrest in connection with the shooting that wounded two people
Speaker 1: at a pee wee football game at Walnut Hills High School,
Speaker 1: now facing two counts of floris to assault and account
Speaker 1: of discharging a firearm at or near prohibited premises. But
Speaker 1: s CPO points out it's not clear if betting had
Speaker 1: anything to do with this incident. I just find the
Speaker 1: preposters that people are betting on youth football games. I suppose, Joe,
Speaker 1: do you know anything about betting apps? Do the betting
Speaker 1: apps have like the line and not for high school football? Okay,
Speaker 1: well that's good. Southwest Ohio Youth Football League's Artemis Palmer
Speaker 1: said he believes Johnson's comments a bit exaggerated. The only
Speaker 1: betting that happens on the field is uniforms, pizza, food
Speaker 1: or something, whatever it may be. And if people want
Speaker 1: to bet on kids games, you do that outside the
Speaker 1: lines and keep that drama outside the lines. Of course,
Speaker 1: everybody at the meeting involved in the meeting agreed that
Speaker 1: insuring safety of young athletes should remain a top priority
Speaker 1: with a new season around the corner. And then to that,
Speaker 1: which is people are just generally flying off the handle
Speaker 1: and the intolerant of other people's behavior. Speaking of that,
Speaker 1: we have a man arrested Tuesday after his shooting in
Speaker 1: a vehicle during a road rage incident happened on a
Speaker 1: nice seventy Ford and Thathiel Nathaniel Enderley arrested for firing
Speaker 1: a gunshot into the panel of a van occupied by
Speaker 1: two people, According to the Green Township Police, Emderley claimed
Speaker 1: the other driver was cutting him off as he was
Speaker 1: merging onto the interstate. Poor of the court records, Enderley
Speaker 1: said the driver was staring at him as if he
Speaker 1: had done something wrong. Well, that justifies a gunshot, doesn't.
Speaker 1: Neither person inside the van was hit by the gunshot
Speaker 1: was able to quickly locate the suspect vehicle and recover
Speaker 1: the handgun. Enderley remains in the Hamlin County Justice Center
Speaker 1: on a forty thousand dollars bond, facing charges of felonious
Speaker 1: assault and discharging a firearm well he looked at me
Speaker 1: sideways and a father now facing charges after a five
Speaker 1: year old shot a seven month old and West Price
Speaker 1: Hill happened Saturday night. According to the criminal complaint, officers
Speaker 1: showed up at the area of Sunset and Gurley Road
Speaker 1: nine to thirty pm for reports of the job being shot.
Speaker 1: Complaint says Montez Jones left a loaded and fully functional
Speaker 1: gun on the windowsill of the bedroom occupied by a
Speaker 1: seven month old and a five year old and a
Speaker 1: four year old. When he left the room to use
Speaker 1: the bathroom, one of the older children handled the weapon,
Speaker 1: causing it to fire and hit the younger of the
Speaker 1: seven month old, causing serious physical harm to her in
Speaker 1: a substantial risk of harm to the other children. Infantaking
Speaker 1: us in Sant Children's Hospital. No word on the seven
Speaker 1: month old's condition. Criminal complaints as Jones made an admission
Speaker 1: to the police please say it. Another adult was home
Speaker 1: at the time of the shooting. But Jones is the
Speaker 1: only one facing charges right now. Bond hasn't been set
Speaker 1: scheduled to appear in court this morning. Totally avoidable circumstance.

Speaker 1: All right, I guess continuing the stack is stupid which
Speaker 1: normally begins at this time. Like I said, I feel
Speaker 1: as though I've been involved with it since I started
Speaker 1: speaking this morning. This is a rather bizarre One man
Speaker 1: facing an aggravated assault charge after a gruesome, unprovoked attack
Speaker 1: this in Phoenix court. To court documents, a victim walking
Speaker 1: nearest Oaks Shop on Broadway Road April eleven, about one
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning when he asked thirty eight year
Speaker 1: old Daniel Lanx, how are you doing Thori to say.
Speaker 1: The man kept walking before Lanx came up from behind,
Speaker 1: stuck his fingers into the victim's right eye socket and
Speaker 1: pulled the eyeball out do.
Speaker 2: What the hell uh?
Speaker 1: The victim fell, Lanx punched him in the face multiple times,
Speaker 1: fracturing his jaw. Police said. The victim later told him
Speaker 1: that he felt his eye dangling from its socket. He
Speaker 1: then went home and his girlfriend called nine one one.
Speaker 1: Three days later, the victim identified Lanx as his attacker,
Speaker 1: and a photo lineup. Officers found Lanx at a treatment center.
Speaker 1: He was booked in a jail on felony bond set
Speaker 1: at five hundred thousand dollars. Corner of the court documents.
Speaker 1: Lanx has not surprisingly a history of mental illness, is homeless,
Speaker 1: and has a criminal history that includes attacking police, trespassing,
Speaker 1: and stealing. Actually, Phoenix, joh not Hamilton County. It's you know,
Speaker 1: imagine I could actually manage to operate a firearm even
Speaker 1: though one eye is dangling out of its socket. Go
Speaker 1: to Richland County, South Carolina, where a man there was
Speaker 1: arrested for murder after a violent dispute over a lottery ticket.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Joe. Richard County Sheriff's Department said Paul Williams,
Speaker 1: seventy years old, charged with murder, possession of a firearm
Speaker 1: by a person convicted of a violent offense in possession
Speaker 1: of a weapon during a violent crime. Deputies respoted the
Speaker 1: eight hundred block of Conagree Church Road eight pm on
Speaker 1: a Wednesday after receiving word of a dispute over they
Speaker 1: stolen lottery ticket. Deputies reportedly heard a gun shot. When
Speaker 1: they got there the scene, they saw Williams leaving a
Speaker 1: backyard with a gun in his hand. Law enforcement found
Speaker 1: a man shot up for biding the back taking the
Speaker 1: local hospital for treatment, but he died there. Corner identified
Speaker 1: the victims, Matthew Fleming sixty seven. Paul Williams arrested take
Speaker 1: him to the Alvin sque Glenn Detention Center, where he,
Speaker 1: at least as of the reporting, was awaiting his bond.
Speaker 1: Hearing school nutrition administrator has been arrested for committing a
Speaker 1: terribly unappetizing act inside a beer cave at a Pennsylvania
Speaker 1: convenience store wait for it, courting police. Employee at Royal
Speaker 1: Farms location in Hannover last week called police to report
Speaker 1: that an unknown woman had quote come in the previous
Speaker 1: day and defecated in the beer cave close quote.
Speaker 2: Why are you doing that?
Speaker 1: As describing a probable cause affidat of the beer cave
Speaker 1: as a walk in cooler open to the public to
Speaker 1: select cooled beverages, like we needed a description to that.
Speaker 1: Police review of the store security footage showed the suspect
Speaker 1: purchasing a case of alcoholic beverages or pushing rather a
Speaker 1: case of alcoholic beverages back on the shelf, pulling our
Speaker 1: pants down and defecating on the shelves, and then leaving
Speaker 1: camera record of the woman arriving there in an SUV
Speaker 1: vehicles registered owner identified as Crystal Gous forty seven years
Speaker 1: old as the individual driving the car when the offense occurred.

Speaker 1: to incur the wrath of God. We have just spiraled
Speaker 1: out of control as a society. And with that, I
Speaker 1: turn again to the spoken, turned to the smoking gun
Speaker 1: OnlyFans model was recently arrested for quote spraying her urine
Speaker 1: close quote on more than fifteen hundred dollars worth of
Speaker 1: merchandise at a New Hampshire grocery store. Now has been
Speaker 1: hit with five more criminal accounts for an alleged spree

Speaker 2: Now, who can argue with that?
Speaker 1: Jeez?
Speaker 7: Please?
Speaker 1: Florida beaches already have lifeguards the safety patrols, but one
Speaker 1: part of the state might you might want to consider
Speaker 1: summoning Paul Revere. The threats in Valuza County can come
Speaker 1: by both land and sea. Two incidents the year in
Speaker 1: which vehicles struck beach goers, both cases driving over their heads,
Speaker 1: illustrating the risk of well allowing beach driving. Most recent
Speaker 1: incident took place in Ormond Beach. Thirty three year old
Speaker 1: Coulson Janney of Ocalla struck by a jeep attempting to
Speaker 1: back into a parking spot in April fifth. He was
Speaker 1: sunbathing and dozing face down in the sand when he
Speaker 1: was as described jostled awake by a car tire running
Speaker 1: over his head. He said, I was just screaming, screamed
Speaker 1: my head off, screaming my bloody murder. Of course, suffered
Speaker 1: a broken femur and forearm, as well as bruised face.
Speaker 1: The sixty one year old woman driving the vehicle was
Speaker 1: sighted for Carola's driving. Got back to February seventy one
Speaker 1: year old New York woman sitting in a beach chair
Speaker 1: and at Daytona Beach hospitalized with non life threatening injuries
Speaker 1: after a pickup truck ran over her head. Eighty four
Speaker 1: year old were chased down by a witness, told authorities

Speaker 9: and hear that the Pope had died. And of course
Speaker 9: the first thing it went through my head was the
Speaker 9: headline JD killed the Vicar of Christ and and then
Speaker 9: I thought the second headline, she'd be Pete head seth
Speaker 9: texted about it.
Speaker 1: Don't don't give any ideas, Joe, I could actually see that, don't.
Speaker 7: That's good.
Speaker 1: I appreciate your comedy, but you know, I'm thinking, you know,

Speaker 1: I know, I just I could have sort of said rhetorically,
Speaker 1: I don't think they have an comprehension of what they're protesting.
Speaker 1: It's like protests for the sake of protesting. Trump Orange man,
Speaker 1: Trump doesn't when you're gonna gotten protested, take it to
Speaker 1: the streets. Overwhelming majority of Americans want the immigration situation resolve.
Speaker 1: They want deportations, and they're happy to see the borders closed.
Speaker 1: And in fact, border crossings are basically ground to a
Speaker 1: literal hauled thanks to Donald Trump, policies which you are
Speaker 1: making everybody pretty happy. Look headlines Wall Street Journal, border

Speaker 1: about his empower use seminar. That'll take place at eight
Speaker 1: forty five three seven fifty five hundred, eight hundred and
Speaker 1: eight to two three talk and let's talk a little
Speaker 1: bit about meyl candidates, Aftab Parvoll, so uh inquire Scott
Speaker 1: Wartman reporting and I talk with Scott because he took
Speaker 1: over for Sharon Coolidge. You know he's doing reporting on
Speaker 1: of course since I City Council headlines how will Cincinnati
Speaker 1: mayor hopeful tackle youth crime? And I just got it
Speaker 1: was an interesting observation because Corey Bowman was asked, but
Speaker 1: so is mayor Aftab par Ball and Brian Frank who
Speaker 1: is the other guy that's running, and what their perception
Speaker 1: is on crime youth crime?
Speaker 5: Nice.
Speaker 1: I'll give you the quote from AF to have par
Speaker 1: Ball and it just as it stands as a stark
Speaker 1: contrast to Corey Bauman. Here's a have to have. Youth
Speaker 1: violence is one of the most difficult problems to address
Speaker 1: and one of the most painful. Too many victims of
Speaker 1: violent crimes our children, and far too many perpetrators of
Speaker 1: violent crime our children. I'm proud that we've seen a
Speaker 1: thirty five percent. I guess he meant drop. There's no
Speaker 1: word drop in there, so the consent doesn't really make
Speaker 1: any sense as reported, But youth violence over the single
Speaker 1: year due to our strategies, but of course we have
Speaker 1: so much more work to do. I guess this is
Speaker 1: an organization Act for sincy, he said, Act for since
Speaker 1: He details all of our violence and intervention programs, including
Speaker 1: increasing police personnel through historic investments in recruit classes, relying
Speaker 1: on twenty first century police tactics, in partnership with the
Speaker 1: FBI and ATF, through the first Crime Gun Intelligence Center
Speaker 1: in Ohio, innovating with alternative response to crisis ARC, and
Speaker 1: deploying our CDRT, which is Civil Disturbance Response Team and
Speaker 1: SWAT officers every weekend throughout our entertainment districts in our
Speaker 1: urban core. He goes on. We've also enacted laws to
Speaker 1: keep guns out of the hands of kids, and we've
Speaker 1: sued the state to reclaim our authority to pass our
Speaker 1: own local gun laws, which you don't have. Sorry, sucks
Speaker 1: to be you go ahead and spin your wheels pursuing
Speaker 1: that one AFTAB. It's a waste of time. You've been
Speaker 1: down this road before. There's no home rule one size
Speaker 1: fits all in the state of Ohio when it comes
Speaker 1: to gun laws. Also, I didn't realize that there weren't
Speaker 1: already laws on the books. To keep guns out of
Speaker 1: the hands of children anyway, he went on, And because
Speaker 1: we know we can't police our way out of this problem,
Speaker 1: we created wreck at night programs. Initial cap On that
Speaker 1: made sure all of our city pools were open last summer,
Speaker 1: invested in additional one million dollars a year in youth employment,
Speaker 1: helped finance the roll Hill Boys and Girls Club, voted
Speaker 1: to create transformational new rec center in North otr On,
Speaker 1: one of the most violent streets in the city. Wiped
Speaker 1: out fifty million dollars worth of medical debt for fifty
Speaker 1: thousand Cincinnatians. I don't know how that's connected with youth violence,
Speaker 1: but he's just pulling things out of his finer here.
Speaker 1: Created a trauma informed violence prevention program with CINCINNY Children's Hospital.
Speaker 1: While there is no one size fits all strategy, we
Speaker 1: are deploying a comprehensive plan and it's working. Since taking off,
Speaker 1: his violent crime stats are down by double digits. Again.
Speaker 1: There's more work to do, but our strategy has us
Speaker 1: in the right track. Okay, well, I'm not quite sure
Speaker 1: if he's accurate on the crime stats. Twenty twenty three,
Speaker 1: accorded to Scott Wortman's reporting was sixty three juvenile shot.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the most recent year for which we have data.
Speaker 1: We've got all these stories about arrests like down at
Speaker 1: the bus stop. Police Chief Thres Tresa Tiji made an
Speaker 1: unannounced visit in September the CINCINNT Public schools outlining violence
Speaker 1: happening at bus transit centers and the thirty arrests of
Speaker 1: youth that occurred since the first day of school at
Speaker 1: those centers. Then she asked the school district to intervene. Now,
Speaker 1: contrast all of that, all this government program this and
Speaker 1: throwing money at that, wiping out medical debt for Cincinnatians.
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman, we experienced this issue firsthand with our church
Speaker 1: and business in the West End. There's not a quick solution.
Speaker 1: It takes investment and a mindset change. This can be
Speaker 1: done by number one, encouraging the model and importance of
Speaker 1: the family. Well, amen to that, Joe, What would have
Speaker 1: happened to you if you had gotten engaged in a
Speaker 1: brawl at a bus stop? We have met your dad,
Speaker 1: take him to that, Okay, we'd have been patting you
Speaker 1: on the back saying, hey, it's all right, Joe, you
Speaker 1: go ahead and get involved in that kind of activity.
Speaker 1: If you were out in the middle of the night
Speaker 1: breaking things, committing acts of violence, I don't know, burning
Speaker 1: the tesla or something like that. With that, a sat
Speaker 1: well with your dad, No right. Number two, improve education
Speaker 1: outcomes and options. Yep, the building blocks for a future
Speaker 1: and freedom and the ability to feed oneself, not relying
Speaker 1: upon the state. Is based on education, invest in entry
Speaker 1: level jobs, he says. Number four, hold parents accountable. Oh
Speaker 1: and finally cpding he needs a no loitering ordinance and
Speaker 1: a youth curfew to enforce. Well, you know what, if
Speaker 1: you had parents at home that insisted on you being
Speaker 1: home at a certain hour like mine did, then you
Speaker 1: wouldn't need an ordinance on the books. You got your
Speaker 1: own curfew. Mom and Dad, you're home by midnight. If
Speaker 1: you don't hear from you and you're not in the
Speaker 1: door by midnight, you are in trouble. I always had
Speaker 1: a calling, a good permission. If I was going to
Speaker 1: be outpack, I'd go, oh my god, yes, And I
Speaker 1: had a respect and fear for my father. I love
Speaker 1: my dad, but at some level he scared the living
Speaker 1: hell out of me. You know, you didn't want to
Speaker 1: get out of line with dad. You didn't you didn't
Speaker 1: want to violate the house rules, and you certainly didn't
Speaker 1: want to make mom upset, because then you did incur
Speaker 1: the wrath of Dad. It really worked great that way.
Speaker 1: And while I was not perfect in any way, shape
Speaker 1: or form, the concern over parental you know, my parents
Speaker 1: and what might happen to me, I would be grounded
Speaker 1: that something would. There'll be repercussions, is the bottom line.
Speaker 1: I didn't want my freedoms and liberty is taken away,
Speaker 1: so I try to toe the line. That's the key.
Speaker 1: At least Corey Bowman said it out a loud even
Speaker 1: calling for an extra program or six or eight or whatever.
Speaker 1: There is no substitute for the nuclear family and caring
Speaker 1: and loving parents, and since that has been virtually eliminated
Speaker 1: in certain segments of society, I don't know if we
Speaker 1: can solve our way out of this problem. Can you
Speaker 1: program your way out of this problem? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe you've got a better ideas. It's generational, but getting
Speaker 1: back to the fundamentals, getting back to, as Corey points out,
Speaker 1: encouraging the model and importance of family. What a great
Speaker 1: first step that might be, maybe we can start incorporating
Speaker 1: these fundamental, proven strategies for success back into society as
Speaker 1: opposed to just sort of wiping them mat as if
Speaker 1: they don't mean anything. Six fifteen right now for five
Speaker 1: kc DE talk station five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty,
Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three talk

Speaker 1: can deal with that water pressure issues, slow or clogged drains.
Speaker 1: They are the Tri State's number one installer of tankless
Speaker 1: water heaters. You go tankless because you just never run

Speaker 1: it makes it until you shut the hot water off.
Speaker 1: Those are really cool plus actually energy savers too. So
Speaker 1: whatever your plumbing problem is, you're in the right hands

Speaker 1: You find them at plumtight dot com. Playing buck at
Speaker 1: the musicals. I said, it's six twenty fifty five KCD
Speaker 1: talk station. Very happy Monday to you. Trying to make
Speaker 1: it so anyway. Five one three seven four nine fifty
Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three tap pound five
Speaker 1: fifty on at and T phones. I saw this article
Speaker 1: from it was a New York Times article and sort
Speaker 1: of uh gateway pundit grab ahold of it and speaking
Speaker 1: of education, and uh, you know, went back to Corey Bowman,
Speaker 1: you know, the the nuclear family, improved education outcomes and
Speaker 1: options options of course is a great thing. Way to
Speaker 1: get yourself, get your kids out of this you know,
Speaker 1: woke environment where basically they're in Doctrine eighty in your children,
Speaker 1: and perhaps send them to a private school, perhaps a
Speaker 1: school that teaches you know, classical learning, you know phonics,
Speaker 1: you know, the old school, tried and true, proven method,
Speaker 1: recent new York Times article basically admits what conservative education
Speaker 1: reformers and frustrated parents have long been warning. Academic standards
Speaker 1: in America are collapsing, and sadly, it's the poor, working
Speaker 1: class and disadvantaged kids who are being hurt the most.
Speaker 1: Name of the article, the pandemic is not the only
Speaker 1: reason US students are losing ground, where they point out
Speaker 1: the nation's lowest performing students began falling behind years before COVID,
Speaker 1: right around twenty thirteen, coinciding with the decline of the
Speaker 1: Bush era and No Child Left Behind legislation and the
Speaker 1: rise of radical progressive dogma in public education, what critics
Speaker 1: called the Great Awokening. Anyway, the NAEP the National Assessment
Speaker 1: of Educational Progress data shows between two thousand and three
Speaker 1: to twenty thirteen, even the bottom ten percent of TI
Speaker 1: test takers, those most in need of education support, were
Speaker 1: slowly gaining ground, but around twenty thirteen at reversed. Since then,
Speaker 1: the lowest scores on math and reading tests in both
Speaker 1: fourth and eighth grade have steadily declined, with the drop
Speaker 1: apparently accelerating after twenty twenty. American Enterprise Institute calls it
Speaker 1: the five alarm fire about America's education process of progress.
Speaker 1: The bottom quartile disproportionately made up of students with disabilities,
Speaker 1: English language learners, and children from low income families who
Speaker 1: are bearing the brunt of the educational collapse. And this
Speaker 1: is where that progressive walk ideology kicks in and does
Speaker 1: absolutely no service to these poor children. Every year they
Speaker 1: lose ground, it becomes harder and harder to make up.
Speaker 1: And yet every year these walk educators will advance students
Speaker 1: even though they are ill equals to move on to
Speaker 1: the next grade. How can that possibly serve that child
Speaker 1: or society at large? What you have done is created
Speaker 1: a person who is going to be completely, in one
Speaker 1: hundred percent dependent upon some handout because they don't know
Speaker 1: how to read, they don't know how to perform basic
Speaker 1: mathematical skills. What are they going to do? We need
Speaker 1: to get back to the fundamentals. I mean that seems
Speaker 1: to me to an obvious solution to the problems. Since
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, they write, public schools have been rapidly re
Speaker 1: engineered to prioritize equity over excellence, activism over academics, and
Speaker 1: lived experience over logic and literacy. Standardized testing, discipline, gifted programs.
Speaker 1: They're all gone. Why well, they're racist. That's why phonics
Speaker 1: and factual history have been replaced by feelings, narratives and
Speaker 1: DEI training sessions. Yeah, and don't you think think your
Speaker 1: children deserve better than that? And I go back to
Speaker 1: the whodea of that nuclear family. You know, I've said
Speaker 1: it a million times. The greatest gift my parents gave
Speaker 1: me after the gift of life, was a gift of education.
Speaker 1: They insisted on it. I guess they didn't want me
Speaker 1: laying around thirty five years old in the basement of
Speaker 1: the house, you know, living on mom and Dad's a
Speaker 1: large ess. The critical importance of an education, the ability
Speaker 1: to go out into the world and care and take
Speaker 1: care of yourself and at some point perhaps a family.
Speaker 1: But we stand by idly and allow this corruption in
Speaker 1: schools to continue. And think about the educators out there
Speaker 1: that don't want you to have a choice. How nefarious
Speaker 1: is that the teachers' unions do not want you to
Speaker 1: have a say in your children's education. I mean, just
Speaker 1: look at for what it actually is. They want your
Speaker 1: children in this environment where they have absolute control over
Speaker 1: the subject matter and what's being taught or as the score,
Speaker 1: the scores reflect not being taught. They got rid of
Speaker 1: everything that works in favor of whatever whatever's demonstrably not working.
Speaker 1: We need to demand more. And I think the biggest
Speaker 1: component of this is that family teachers can't do it all.
Speaker 1: You got an unruly kid, a kid who has no discipline,
Speaker 1: who has no ethics, no morals, no connection with with
Speaker 1: with love or anything like that, and you throw them
Speaker 1: into a classroom with a whole bunch of other kids
Speaker 1: that are like that. How can anyone learn, even if
Speaker 1: they're doing phonics and you know the classical education methods.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm struggling with this this morning. Maybe you have an
Speaker 1: ante seven four nine fifty five, eight hundred two three
Speaker 1: talk half fight fifty on AT and T phones. Foreign
Speaker 1: exchange gets your car, and foreign exchange gets your car
Speaker 1: fixed for less money. That's what it is all about,
Speaker 1: a foreign exchange. And I'm telling you, car repairs are
Speaker 1: gone through the roof. I don't know what this tariff
Speaker 1: situation is going to do with car repairs, but everything
Speaker 1: I've read suggested it's just going to get worse in
Speaker 1: terms of how expensive it is. So save money where
Speaker 1: you can you get a great mechanic when you go
Speaker 1: to Foreign Exchange. I choose the Westchester location Tylersville Road,
Speaker 1: exit off of seventy five East two Streets, right on Kinglin.
Speaker 1: You're there. That's where Austin and the crew of as
Speaker 1: certified Master technicians do have access to your manufacturers technical
Speaker 1: information with your cars from Asia Europe traditionally manufactured or Tesla's.
Speaker 1: They are trained to fix Tesla's as well. And the
Speaker 1: best part about it is you save money compared to
Speaker 1: the dealer, and sometimes a substantial amount. I know I
Speaker 1: have many many times over the year. Safety, heap load
Speaker 1: of money. Love those folks out there to treat you
Speaker 1: like family. To reach the Austin, Austin and the team,

Speaker 1: Let me don't leave loaded firearms around when you've got
Speaker 1: little children in the house. Can we all learn that lesson?
Speaker 1: It's a simple lesson, or it's a simple practice to
Speaker 1: lock your firearms up when there's children in the house.
Speaker 1: Such a sad, sad state. Here got a father now
Speaker 1: facing charges after a five year old shot a seven
Speaker 1: month old happened to West Probably so on Saturday night,
Speaker 1: officers got to call in the area of Sunset Avenue
Speaker 1: in Gurley Road nine to thirty in the evening for
Speaker 1: the reports of a child's shot complaints. Says Montes. Joan
Speaker 1: left a loaded and fully functional gun on the windows
Speaker 1: sill of his bedroom occupied by a seven month old,
Speaker 1: a five year old and a four year old. He
Speaker 1: left the room to use the bathroom. One of the
Speaker 1: older children handled the weapon, causing it to fire and
Speaker 1: hitting the seven month old, causing serious physical harm to
Speaker 1: her and a substantial risk of harm to the other
Speaker 1: children infantaking the since at children's hospital. No word on
Speaker 1: the current condition. Criminal Complaints says Jones made an omission
Speaker 1: to the police. They say another adult was home at
Speaker 1: the time of the shooting, but Jones is the only

Speaker 1: insufficient insulation or you have nothing. Those are the two
Speaker 1: scenarios where you need USA's Premium foam. And it's still

Speaker 5: a blessed Easter.
Speaker 1: I did. It was an awesome, awesome day. Had some
Speaker 1: great food. Mom and my wife both stepped up to
Speaker 1: the plate, got ourselves a honey baked ham, which I
Speaker 1: always love. That's kind of an Easter tradition in our house.
Speaker 1: But it was. It was great, nice spending time with family,
Speaker 1: and we celebrated my daughter's birthday on top of it.
Speaker 1: I can't believe I have a twenty nine year old daughter.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Wow, you are getting old.
Speaker 7: I am all right.
Speaker 1: Thanks for powing on. That's just dating the obvious. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: welcome to Dingus Day.
Speaker 5: This is a big holiday in Cleveland. The Polish community
Speaker 5: in a particular celebrates the day after Easter with a
Speaker 5: joyous celebration where we eat way too many punch g's
Speaker 5: and UH.
Speaker 7: Perogis.
Speaker 5: Oh yes, but well we'll be missing that today. Unfortunately.
Speaker 5: The reason I'm calling is that you got UH to
Speaker 5: go on vacation, just as the circus in New York
Speaker 5: UH started last week with our friend Letitia James. Just
Speaker 5: want to hear what your thoughts are about the irony
Speaker 5: of her being accused of what she prosecuted our president for.
Speaker 1: I think it's hilarious. You know, if they've got the
Speaker 1: goods on her, which it sounds like they do, then
Speaker 1: you know she's going to suffer the consequences of lying.
Speaker 1: What was she listed? Her primary residence is what Connecticut
Speaker 1: or something like that?
Speaker 5: Actually Virginia, Virginia?
Speaker 1: Okay, see I wasn't has.
Speaker 5: Too proper produced there, and she has family members living there.
Speaker 1: Okay. Well yeah, and I suppose turnabout's fair play. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm sure everybody's going to accuse the Trump administration of
Speaker 1: engaging in lawfair blah blah blah blah blah. But you
Speaker 1: know what, if they've got the evidence and they can
Speaker 1: prove it in court beyond a reasonable doubt, she's going
Speaker 1: to suffer the consequences. My popcorn is out. We just justice,
Speaker 1: will be sir.
Speaker 5: One last thing before I go, I've got a quick question.
Speaker 5: I'm curious as to whether your friend, Cribbage Mike, your
Speaker 5: submariner friend, if he's ever partaken in torpedo juice during
Speaker 5: his time as a submariner.
Speaker 1: Wow, and I have never heard the term torpedo juice before.
Speaker 1: And yeah, that was appropriately timed, Joe Strecker, do you
Speaker 1: want to offer my Do you want to offer me
Speaker 1: and my listeners a brief explanation? Is that what the
Speaker 1: hell torpedo juice is? Unless you can't say because.
Speaker 5: I'm going to go uh uh cribbaged Mike into calling
Speaker 5: to uh describe it himself. I'm sure he has some
Speaker 5: pretty colorful, colorful stories.
Speaker 1: Okay, I think I'm gonna have to look it up
Speaker 1: because I don't know if Cribbage Mike is tuned in
Speaker 1: right now to either defend his own honor in the
Speaker 1: honor of his fellow submariners or we're just gonna have
Speaker 1: to It has.
Speaker 5: Nothing with what uh you know, Joe seems to think
Speaker 5: it is. And but yeah, I think it would be
Speaker 5: uh the whof Mike to call in.
Speaker 1: Well, I think it would too, Mike. If you're out there,
Speaker 1: you better answer the question, because I'm now wildly curious.
Speaker 1: Did you have do you have a submarine or friends?
Speaker 1: Al'e that where you came up with this term? Or
Speaker 1: you just hear it from somebody else actually reading?
Speaker 5: I'm reading World War two history. I'm a history buff
Speaker 5: and this came up in one of the books that
Speaker 5: I'm currently reading, and it's very interesting. Okay, has nothing
Speaker 5: to do with nefarious or sexual undertones.
Speaker 1: Believe me, I'm glad to know that. All Right, you
Speaker 1: certainly piated my curiosity. Thanks for calling, al appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Oh looking it up American slang for an alcoholic beverages
Speaker 1: first mixed to World War two, made from pineapple, grayfruit,
Speaker 1: or orange juice, and about one hundred and eighty proof.
Speaker 1: Well there you have it. That satisfied my curiosity enough
Speaker 1: and of course keeps us out of FCC compliance problems.
Speaker 1: Stick aroundic more to talk about it went down a
Speaker 1: little cul de sac on that one. Press these interiors
Speaker 1: for kitchen re modeling. You need talk to John Ryan.
Speaker 1: He is pressed these interiors. His company called Pressed These interiors.
Speaker 1: But you're working with John and you'd be glad you are,
Speaker 1: because you know, he's a really sweet guy and he's
Speaker 1: got thirty five plus years experience of doing almost exclusively kitchens,
Speaker 1: and he has done a ton of kitchens, including ours.
Speaker 1: He has fantastic ideas for your kitchen and you can
Speaker 1: have a little galley kitchen, you have a massive kitchen space.
Speaker 1: He's gonna just really offer some wonderful insight on how
Speaker 1: to improve that and it doesn't have to be a
Speaker 1: huge job. We gutted our whole thing and started from scratch,
Speaker 1: which was awesome because he found more space in a box.
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you increase the space of a
Speaker 1: fixed structure. Well, he did that in our situation, gave
Speaker 1: his better flow the kitchens. It's so much nicer, and
Speaker 1: he's with you every step of the way from an
Speaker 1: initial design to final installation. One stop shopping. You only
Speaker 1: need to call John. You'll have to worry about the installers.
Speaker 1: He makes sure everything runs right on schedule and you
Speaker 1: will be very happy. He prides himself on his work
Speaker 1: service and design, and you'll understand exact actually why working
Speaker 1: with John on your kitchen aplus is the Better Business Bureau.
Speaker 1: Of course, Prestige one two three dot com got some
Speaker 1: before and after pictures, not all the work he's done
Speaker 1: over the years, but summer there you get an illustration
Speaker 1: of what he's capable of doing. Prestge one two three
Speaker 1: dot com, please give him my regards when you call
Speaker 1: to talk to John about your kitchen five one three
Speaker 1: two four seven zero two two nine five one three
Speaker 1: two four seven zero two two nine.
Speaker 3: Fifty five KRC six forty.
Speaker 1: Nine fifty five Parisite talk station. Yeah, apparently they used
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty proof grain. Alcoholis fuel for the
Speaker 1: torpedoes and World War two, so I guess the military,
Speaker 1: recognizing that the sailors probably would drink it, added poisonous
Speaker 1: additives including methanol and something called pink Lady. And they
Speaker 1: say the UH submariners would attempt to filter out that
Speaker 1: poisonous additives and then mix it with juice, but it
Speaker 1: was still dangerous, be that desperate for drinking. Going back
Speaker 1: to the schools and the decline of the education system
Speaker 1: is an interesting op ed piece in The Wall Street
Speaker 1: Turn because there is an important case being arguing in
Speaker 1: front of the Supreme Court tomorrow and they're right. Does
Speaker 1: the First Amendment give parents a right to opt out
Speaker 1: of gender ideology at the local public elementary school? Why
Speaker 1: are they teaching this stuff to elementary school kids? And
Speaker 1: rather than focusing on the important things like reading, writing,
Speaker 1: and arithmetic and reading that don't doesn't have such a
Speaker 1: sensitive subject matter, they might interfere with people's own personal
Speaker 1: feelings at home, religion or otherwise. Anyway, Supreme Court is
Speaker 1: gonna consider the case tomorrow Mahamad versus Taylor, and they're right.
Speaker 1: Consider two of the story books of the parents of
Speaker 1: Montgomery County, Maryland, say the district added to its reading
Speaker 1: curriculum and Why My Rainbow story about an autistic child
Speaker 1: named Trinity who said, quote I need long hair, close
Speaker 1: quote because quote I may transgender girl. It ends with
Speaker 1: a surprise gift from Trinity's mom, a teal pink and
Speaker 1: purple wig. Other book, Born Ready, about Penelope, who tells
Speaker 1: her mother, I don't feel like a boy, I am
Speaker 1: a boy. After this single discussion, the mother answers with
Speaker 1: unquestioning affirmation, Yes, we will make a plan to tell
Speaker 1: everyone we love. Teachers Montgomery County were also given guidance
Speaker 1: to on replying to classroom questions and comments. One idea
Speaker 1: was to disrupt that's in quote, students from either or
Speaker 1: thinking about the sexes. If a child suggested it's weird
Speaker 1: to say a girl can be a boy, then the
Speaker 1: proposed response was to explain how this comment is hurtful
Speaker 1: and that when each of us is born quote, people
Speaker 1: make a guess about our gender close quote, we underwire
Speaker 1: children are so dumb. Many families objected, including a Muslim, Catholic,
Speaker 1: and Ukrainian Orthodox plaintiffs, and their telling of the facts.
Speaker 1: They initially were offered a chance to opt out of
Speaker 1: the story books, but the school district quickly reversed and
Speaker 1: then said it wouldn't inform parents when the books were
Speaker 1: going to be read in doctrination. Montgomery County replies that
Speaker 1: it sought to supplement its reading program with LGBTQ characters
Speaker 1: to quote reflect the diversity of its families. At first,
Speaker 1: it tried to accommodate parent requests to opt the children
Speaker 1: out of class, until that became unworkably disruptive because of
Speaker 1: unsustainably high numbers of absent students. Maybe that's an indication
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be teaching this crap in school because parents
Speaker 1: don't want to talk there. They say, for the record,
Speaker 1: my rainbow has since been removed, though the county doesn't
Speaker 1: explain exactly why parents rely on the precedent Wisconsin versus
Speaker 1: Yoder Fro nineteen seventy two, in which the court said
Speaker 1: Amish families couldn't be made to send their children to
Speaker 1: school past eighth grade. If the First Amendment protects dropping out,
Speaker 1: how can it not cover the much narrower request by
Speaker 1: parents wanting to merely skip discrete instruction that deliberately seeks
Speaker 1: to confound their religious values. Montgomery County argues that if
Speaker 1: families choose to attend public schools, they are quote not
Speaker 1: cognizably coerced by virtue of their children's exposure there to
Speaker 1: religiously objectionable ideas close quote. If the First Amendment gives
Speaker 1: parents the right to pick and choose from the curriculum,
Speaker 1: the county says that there's no discernible woman, and would
Speaker 1: it would work the same in science or history classes.
Speaker 1: No public schools simply cannot accommodate such expectations, as the
Speaker 1: Montgomery County argument.
Speaker 5: They can't.
Speaker 1: Public schools accommodate a lot, including students who are disabled
Speaker 1: or learning English as a second language. Part of living
Speaker 1: in a pluralistic society is that some families might reject, say,
Speaker 1: ideas on evolution, their children can still benefit from learning
Speaker 1: algebra on Romeo and Juliet. How hard it will be
Speaker 1: for Montgomery County schools to announce that Born Ready will
Speaker 1: be read in three weeks and students can be excused,
Speaker 1: or more fundamentally, why don't they just choose not to
Speaker 1: read that book? This gets to the parent's second argument,
Speaker 1: which is that the district's policy isn't neutral and that
Speaker 1: ending of opt outs was targeted. Their brief sites a
Speaker 1: member of the school board saying it would be an
Speaker 1: impossible disruption if the teachers had to send out notices
Speaker 1: so that white supremacists could opt out of civil rights content.
Speaker 1: The implicit comparison is between religious families and racists. Now,
Speaker 1: who needs a tolerance lesson amen editorial board, see this
Speaker 1: is the problem. They will indoctrinate your kids. They will
Speaker 1: not allow you to have your own religious objections or
Speaker 1: even just logical and reasonable science based objections to pointing out.
Speaker 1: Like the United Kingdom Court in an unanimous opinion pointed
Speaker 1: out there are two genders period. End of story six

Speaker 1: Cober on the protest downtown over the street and violence
Speaker 1: on the banks. Are you safe downtown at night? We'll
Speaker 1: ask Ken about that coming up after top of the hour,
Speaker 1: follow by Christopher Smith Oman at seven twenty. I sure
Speaker 1: hope you can stick around.
Speaker 3: A full rundown of the biggest ten lines.
Speaker 1: There's minutes away at the top of the hour.
Speaker 3: I'm giving you a fact now, Americans shouldn't fifty five.
Speaker 1: Krs the talk station.
Speaker 7: This report is sponsored.
Speaker 1: Seven six fifty five are See talk station byan Talis
Speaker 1: Fish and everybody. A very happy Monday, and welcome back
Speaker 1: to the fifty five carse Morning Show. FLP President Chapter
Speaker 1: sixty nine. Since I Police Departments Union, it's Ken Cober,
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Can It's always great having you on the program.
Speaker 7: Hey, good morning, Brian, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: So uh this protest they had downtown, I understand it's
Speaker 1: that fifty fifty one protest just basically expressing out loud
Speaker 1: anger against the Trump administration, screaming fascism and all that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. And these are happening more and more often.
Speaker 1: I guess, mayor I have toab pervol was down there
Speaker 1: joining in the crowd? Were there any you know, police
Speaker 1: involved incidents or incidents where the police had to be involved?
Speaker 1: Was it violent? What did they cause any property destruction?
Speaker 1: And did they have a permit?
Speaker 5: And one?
Speaker 1: What was one necessary? I guess a lot of questions
Speaker 1: to throw out you once can but sum it up
Speaker 1: for my listeners of me, would you please.
Speaker 10: Yeah, well sure, there were about forty policemen there that
Speaker 10: were either on canceled off days.
Speaker 7: So instead of being in the communities.
Speaker 10: That they normally serve, they're down there, and they were
Speaker 10: down there primarily because there was a large group of
Speaker 10: people that were blocking streets and know they didn't have
Speaker 10: a permit.
Speaker 7: And that's that's the biggest exception that I take with this.
Speaker 10: I support their First Amendment right to go protest and
Speaker 10: be mad at the things that want to be mad at. However,
Speaker 10: it costs the city roughly fifteen thousand dollars for police
Speaker 10: protection that the city paid for when they're supposedly in
Speaker 10: a crisis now where they're asking city departments to cut
Speaker 10: five percent of their.
Speaker 7: Budget and we're just giving them free service.
Speaker 10: You know, Flying Pig doesn't get that, you know, Taste
Speaker 10: the Cincinnati Octoberfest, all those events have to get permits
Speaker 10: to close streets, and I just don't understand why this
Speaker 10: group is any different.
Speaker 1: Well, and I understand why the mayor of the City
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati was there egging people on and participating in
Speaker 1: street closures when he, more than anyone, should know that
Speaker 1: a pertmit is required to do that, and he more
Speaker 1: than anyone should know about the budget issues that we
Speaker 1: are facing, and the idea that well, the taxpayer is
Speaker 1: going to be paying for all this extra law enforcement.
Speaker 1: It's absurd.
Speaker 7: Yeah, completely agree.
Speaker 10: I mean it's said I support their right to protest,
Speaker 10: but they need to do it at their expense, not
Speaker 10: the cities, not the taxpayers. So I'm sure there were
Speaker 10: taxpayers that were paying for some of this that probably
Speaker 10: didn't have.
Speaker 7: The same views as them. And that's the biggest exception
Speaker 7: I take to this, And then to have the mayor
Speaker 7: there on top of it, where they're engaging in.
Speaker 10: An unlawful activity by closing the streets without a permit
Speaker 10: is unlawful.
Speaker 1: Well, given that it is unlawful, seeing to me, it
Speaker 1: might have been a nice thing to do, just to
Speaker 1: arrest the mayor. I mean, if you're going to arrest
Speaker 1: somebody and make an illustration of the unlawful reality of
Speaker 1: what they're doing, why not just make it the figurehead
Speaker 1: of the City of Cincinnatian government.
Speaker 7: That would certainly make some headlines, wouldn't it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thin'd be great, and they'd have to go
Speaker 1: on and defend himself that. I mean, did anybody with
Speaker 1: the police department reach out like Teresa Thiji or maybe
Speaker 1: you know, just hey, listen, have to have what you're
Speaker 1: doing here isn't lawful and you might want to address
Speaker 1: that and do something about it.
Speaker 7: Not that I'm aware of now. No, I don't suspect
Speaker 7: that they're going to.
Speaker 1: Well, then I suppose this type of thing is going
Speaker 1: to continue, then, isn't it.
Speaker 7: Oh, there's no doubt. I mean, they're going to continue
Speaker 7: to have these protests.
Speaker 10: There going to continue not to get permits, and they're
Speaker 10: gonna have the police will be there to continue to
Speaker 10: protect them at the taxpayer's expense.
Speaker 1: Well, protecting them and engaging in activity. Is it criminal
Speaker 1: activity to shut down the street without a permit?
Speaker 5: I mean, is it?
Speaker 2: Does it?
Speaker 1: Rise to a level of a misdemeanor or a sitable offense.
Speaker 10: One would argue, yes, it is absolutely illegal, especially if
Speaker 10: you're the one that's trying to get around to this,
Speaker 10: you know, through the city in a vehicle, and you
Speaker 10: can't because there's large groups of people that are blocking traffic. Yes,
Speaker 10: one would say that that is probably an arrestable offense.
Speaker 1: Well, were the police officers instructed not to issue citations?
Speaker 7: I would suspect that answer is also yes.
Speaker 10: Absolutely, they were there to make sure that these folks
Speaker 10: are safe, and that's exactly what occurred.
Speaker 1: Safe in their unlawful conduct. Hmm.
Speaker 7: Correct.
Speaker 1: I'm having a difficult time reconciling those two positions there, Ken.
Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, it's no different than they had a event Sunday.
Speaker 10: Of course, yesterday was four twenty where there was encourage
Speaker 10: to smoke marijuana in public. There are some officers that
Speaker 10: raise the question as to how can we do this,
Speaker 10: and the city law department has told the police department
Speaker 10: that there is no expectation to enforce this law. So
Speaker 10: that's where we're at with city government right now in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: So basically encouraging lawlessness.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, it's I've got the email that there
Speaker 10: is no expectation to enforce this law.
Speaker 1: Well that's a sorry state of affairs.
Speaker 8: Ken.
Speaker 1: I know you're just telling us the facts, but that really,
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't feel anything but sort of almost
Speaker 1: despair over that situation, especially noting that the mayor was
Speaker 1: actively engaged in blocking the streets and protesting. I'm shocked,
Speaker 1: I honestly can I'm shocked. It's the general consensus among
Speaker 1: the police officers you talked to. I got to imagine
Speaker 1: they're a little disappointed at themselves.
Speaker 10: Well that's how I ended up, you know, finding out
Speaker 10: about this is you know, I had some officers that
Speaker 10: were there working that were kind of complaining that that
Speaker 10: this just isn't right.
Speaker 7: Why why is this?
Speaker 10: Why are they allowed to do this? But if some
Speaker 10: people have to get permits, some people don't. You know,
Speaker 10: they're there to do a job, which is to protect
Speaker 10: his people, which is what they did, and they did
Speaker 10: it with the utmost professionalism. But the fact that that
Speaker 10: they're allowed to do these things without a permit, that's
Speaker 10: so that's the biggest issue that I just don't understand.
Speaker 1: Well selective law enforcement. And I suppose one may argue
Speaker 1: that if it wasn't this fifty one fifty group and
Speaker 1: it was a bunch of you know, uh, picket fill
Speaker 1: in the blank with any other type of activity organization.
Speaker 1: I mean, pick an offensive one like, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe a clan member rally or something. I imagine a
Speaker 1: whole lot of people will be rounded up and issued
Speaker 1: citations for breaking the law. But because it's these leftists
Speaker 1: that are backed by the mayor, then they get a
Speaker 1: free pass. I know, I just it's it's disturbing, Kencobra,
Speaker 1: it's just disturbing, also disturbing and pivoting over violence on
Speaker 1: the Bank's question, should we stay the hell away from
Speaker 1: the banks downtown at night, because I know it's kind
Speaker 1: of it's obviously widely reported there's been a lot of
Speaker 1: crime there.
Speaker 2: Ken.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's getting harder and harder to tell people that
Speaker 10: it's safe that they should go down there when you know,
Speaker 10: these shootings are seem to be occurring every weekend there,
Speaker 10: and it's a shame because it's such a neat area,
Speaker 10: you know, and the reds are in town, you know,
Speaker 10: But it gets to a certain point in the night.
Speaker 7: And it's just it's overrun with criminals. That's that's the
Speaker 7: shame because it is a really really neat place down there. Yeah,
Speaker 7: it is.
Speaker 1: And you know, the more the word gets out about violence,
Speaker 1: the fewer fewer people are gonna want to go downtown
Speaker 1: and all these efforts to remake Cincinnati and try to
Speaker 1: encourage people to want to invest in and live in
Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati that they can't go anywhere unless
Speaker 1: you get a hand on crime and make it appear
Speaker 1: at least that the city is a safe place to be.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's a shame because the people that are causing
Speaker 10: these you know, violent encounters, they're not down there patronizing
Speaker 10: these businesses anyway.
Speaker 7: They're down there to try to start trouble and it
Speaker 7: ruins it for.
Speaker 10: The good people of Cincinnati that are that are there
Speaker 10: to patronize these businesses to you know, go have a drink,
Speaker 10: have dinner, and you know, they're end up getting caught
Speaker 10: in the middle of a shooting.
Speaker 7: And it's just it's it's ridiculous that it goes on.
Speaker 1: Is this young people like youth violence maybe like miners
Speaker 1: that are running around firearms or are these adults down
Speaker 1: there running around with firearms? Is it a mixed bag
Speaker 1: of everything.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a mixed bag. There's no rhyme or reason.
Speaker 10: They'll have thirty forty fifty kids running around there, You'll
Speaker 10: creating chaos, and then you'll have people in their early
Speaker 10: twenties shooting each other.
Speaker 7: There's no real rhyme or reason. It's just for whatever reason,
Speaker 7: people want to go down there.
Speaker 4: He said.
Speaker 10: These people aren't pitronizing these businesses, they're just waiting.
Speaker 7: To find a victim.
Speaker 1: Well, and without a substantial police presence and police officers
Speaker 1: who have been instructed to issue citations otherwise round people
Speaker 1: up and arrest them, I can only imagine it's going
Speaker 1: to get worse Ken.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and that's part of the problem is they're being
Speaker 10: told they don't do anything, just stand there. I mean
Speaker 10: we had somebody shot in front of a policeman last summer.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 7: So I mean having a.
Speaker 10: Police presence there isn't necessarily going to deter it. When
Speaker 10: you have people that are just held bent on being criminals.
Speaker 1: Well and also noting full well that the justice system
Speaker 1: is not going to hold them accountable even if they
Speaker 1: are arrested. We've got a real problem with that. And
Speaker 1: I think the word has gotten out It's like the
Speaker 1: open border situation. When the whole world found out that
Speaker 1: we weren't enforcing our own borders. The whole world showed
Speaker 1: up and came into the United States. It's like, well,
Speaker 1: if they aren't going to prosecute people to the fullest
Speaker 1: extent of the law and make examples out of violent people,
Speaker 1: then we may as well just go ahead and engage
Speaker 1: in violence. Nobody's going to hold us accountable.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a sad state of affairs right now in
Speaker 5: Hamilton County, that's for sure.
Speaker 4: Ken.
Speaker 1: I wish you had more positive information for my listeners
Speaker 1: than me, but it is what it is, and you've
Speaker 1: obviously illustrated a problem we've got on our hands. And
Speaker 1: let's start with the mayor. Next time, arrest the mayor.
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. How's that.
Speaker 7: I think, like you said, that would make fantastic headlines.
Speaker 1: I'll keep my fingers crossed that that happens. Ken, Thanks
Speaker 1: to spend the time by listening to me today, and
Speaker 1: God bless you and each and every one of this
Speaker 1: insane police department officers. Sure, thanks for having me anytime, anytime,
Speaker 1: seven sixteen. If you five care see the talk station days,
Speaker 1: that's sad gonna reelect him anyway. We're reflecting on the
Speaker 1: passing of the Pope this morning, and my Catholic friends
Speaker 1: out there probably feeling that a little sad about that.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: It's Gay to Heaven Cemetery, perfect place for reflection. It's
Speaker 1: gorgeously maintained a cemetery. They have rolling hills, mature trees,
Speaker 1: landscaping as guard gorgeous this time of year with the
Speaker 1: flowers coming up. It's just nice winding roads, pathways. You
Speaker 1: can just take a nice stroll through there. It's good
Speaker 1: for you to get you out of the house and
Speaker 1: away from the computer for a while. Check out the
Speaker 1: seasonal flowers, the trim lawns, reflective water features, really trankful place.
Speaker 1: Perfect location for prayer and reflection. So you'll find comfort
Speaker 1: and peace in the cemetery's quiet reverence surroundings. And it's
Speaker 1: literally open to everyone to enjoy. And they've been ministering
Speaker 1: the tristy for more than seventy seven years, honoring life
Speaker 1: on sacred ground. To learn more, just go to Gate

Speaker 1: It's seven twenty. If you've got a Carcite talk station.
Speaker 1: Thank god it's Monday for the following reason. It's that
Speaker 1: time of week that you could hear from the former
Speaker 1: Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smith them
Speaker 1: in what we call the East Mither Vent. Christopher, welcome
Speaker 1: back to the program, my friend. I hope you had
Speaker 1: a wonderful Easter holiday.
Speaker 4: I did. I had a wonderful Easter, and I enjoyed
Speaker 4: hearing you know, your celebration with your mom and your
Speaker 4: family and your daughter turning twenty nine and Cam and
Speaker 4: all of that. Guys, I could, I could. I can
Speaker 4: see your house, you know, the Thomas House is moving
Speaker 4: in a beautiful way. Yeah, happy Easter to you and
Speaker 4: Paul that and your whole family.
Speaker 1: Well, thanks very much of that. Today's official day, she
Speaker 1: turns twenty nine, but we did celebrate yesterday, and I'm
Speaker 1: happy to report, Christopher, they have she and her fiance
Speaker 1: have settled on a wedding date and that'll be next June.
Speaker 1: I believe the eighth, but I probably have that one wrong.
Speaker 1: But next June, so we finally he's got something on
Speaker 1: the calendar, and we're really excited about that.
Speaker 4: We're gonna have They're gonna have to bring the tissues
Speaker 4: for Brian Thomas.
Speaker 1: You got that right, man. I know I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: struggling with an allergy outbreak on that day. But she's
Speaker 1: she's a lucky lady, and he is absolutely alone.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 1: They make a great couple together. So we're just thrilled
Speaker 1: about them and their engagement.
Speaker 4: Oh, that is so wonderful. Brian. I went to first
Speaker 4: to start off, which which I think at the top
Speaker 4: of the news is just acknowledging that Pope France has
Speaker 4: died at the age of eighty eight. I know, you
Speaker 4: know that I'm I'm Catholic, My family is Catholic. Uh,
Speaker 4: you know, our our home parish, you know, has been
Speaker 4: Bellaman Chapel at David University, which is a Jesuit community,
Speaker 4: and so he was the first Jesuit pope that they've
Speaker 4: ever had. And uh, you know, even at my points
Speaker 4: of disagreement with him, you know, I and and and
Speaker 4: all of the wonderful things that he did for the world.
Speaker 4: There were so many good things that that he did,
Speaker 4: the way he led his life of poverty, and I
Speaker 4: think that so many pastors no matter what their faith is,
Speaker 4: should take note of how he lived his life. But
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, you know, I definitely
Speaker 4: extend my condolences to the Catholic community because this is
Speaker 4: going to be this is a very big deal, a
Speaker 4: very big story, and the cardinals will be coming together
Speaker 4: to lay him the rest, and then they will then
Speaker 4: make the decision on the selection of a new pope.
Speaker 4: And there's so many young people who've never been a
Speaker 4: part of that process, never seen it. They don't know
Speaker 4: what it's like. Yeah, because they were they were too
Speaker 4: young when this pope was was elected twelve I think
Speaker 4: it was twelve years ago. But at the end of
Speaker 4: the day, they're going to get a chance to see
Speaker 4: that entire process.
Speaker 1: And I get the impression it's a very political process
Speaker 1: inside the Vatican. I mean, yeah, it's you know, Peteing
Speaker 1: fighting for turf and and you know, people have their
Speaker 1: their favorites, and people have you know, people that they
Speaker 1: don't like, and I just get the impression that it's
Speaker 1: it isn't always a smooth process coming up with the
Speaker 1: election of the next place.
Speaker 4: I think if we were behind the doors, it would
Speaker 4: make Congress look like puppies. I think it's a very
Speaker 4: tough political process, and that's why everybody gets in there,
Speaker 4: they lock the doors and they don't come out until
Speaker 4: they have a new pope. But what I will say
Speaker 4: about it as a Catholic is that I'm looking for
Speaker 4: the selection of a more traditional of pope because we're
Speaker 4: right now in a time where it seems like culture
Speaker 4: across the world is going anywhere, any place. Anybody can
Speaker 4: do anything, and there has to be an anchor, and
Speaker 4: that anchor tends to be our faith. It tends to
Speaker 4: be our religion and our faith. And so I'm hoping
Speaker 4: here that there's a pivot to a pope that really
Speaker 4: sticks to the doctrine of Catholicism rooted in it, and
Speaker 4: that doesn't mean at the exclusion of others, but it
Speaker 4: talks about Christmas, the importance of Christmas, for example, and
Speaker 4: that you would not expect the pope to say, for example,
Speaker 4: if they decided to weigh into secular politics, that they
Speaker 4: wouldn't say it's okay for men to play against women
Speaker 4: in sports. I want to make sure that we are
Speaker 4: advancing faith, and I think young people right now Brian Thomas,
Speaker 4: are seeking this in great numbers, and so I think
Speaker 4: this is a great opportunity for the Catholic Church. And
Speaker 4: if there's any kind of things that are going on
Speaker 4: related to corruption at any level, that we have a
Speaker 4: church that responds in a very appropriate way.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, And I'll be honest with you as
Speaker 1: we know. Move on to the break here, Christopher. I
Speaker 1: have a lot of friends that are Catholic. I grew
Speaker 1: up in a very very Catholic neighborhood, even though I'm
Speaker 1: not Catholic, but honestly I don't to I mean, across
Speaker 1: the board, they were not thrilled with this the late Pope.
Speaker 1: He was far too liberal for the Catholics that I know.
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm glad to hear you say you're
Speaker 1: looking for a more traditional pope, someone who's more, you know,
Speaker 1: sticking with the doctor and the dogma of the faith,
Speaker 1: sock Catholicism. I think that's really important. So that'll satisfy
Speaker 1: a lot of my friends if they do go in
Speaker 1: that direction.
Speaker 4: I agree. I look forward to talking to you after
Speaker 4: the break, my brother.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll be right back after the brief words.

Speaker 1: Seven thirty. If you have krc DE talk station Happy Monday,
Speaker 1: Extra Special Monday, it always is with Christopher Smithling doing
Speaker 1: the smith Van Christopher. What else is on your mind?
Speaker 1: Moving away from the passing of the Pope?
Speaker 4: Listen, brother, I have so many topics that I can't
Speaker 4: get through them all, but let me just say that.
Speaker 4: You know the woman who was murdered in Maryland, Rachel Morin,
Speaker 4: and she was thirty seven years old with five children,
Speaker 4: and she was out on a jog on August six,
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three, and she was horrifically murdered. And her
Speaker 4: mother was at the White House this week and went
Speaker 4: through the details of that horrific murder of her daughter.
Speaker 4: I don't know if I could have done it, and
Speaker 4: my heart goes out to that entire family in a
Speaker 4: big way. You know, having buried me, having buried a spouse,
Speaker 4: for ant Thomas, is totally different than burying a child.
Speaker 4: And so people who go through that just in the
Speaker 4: normal circumstance of a car wreck or cancer or something
Speaker 4: like that, it's horrible, but to say that you as
Speaker 4: somebody illegally in the country, that's something that could have
Speaker 4: been avoided, that the White House didn't protect you, and
Speaker 4: then that person killed your daughter, an American woman on
Speaker 4: a job is insane. And to have her senator, this
Speaker 4: van Holland flying over saying that he's advocating for somebody
Speaker 4: who within our country illegally and using the language I'm
Speaker 4: going to bring them back home. What is he talking about? Like,
Speaker 4: I don't even understand what these Democrats are talking about
Speaker 4: when they're out there advocating for people that clearly are
Speaker 4: gang members, clearly are wife beaters, clearly is involved in
Speaker 4: human trafficking. It's all been documented for any rational person
Speaker 4: to see what is going on with our politics where
Speaker 4: we think a Democratic senator there are only one hundred
Speaker 4: of them to anybody who doesn't know that senators are
Speaker 4: very powerful. And for him to fly over there and
Speaker 4: engage in this while his constituent, meaning he's from Maryland
Speaker 4: and Rachel Morin was his constituent, and he had not
Speaker 4: even reached out to the mother, he had not extended
Speaker 4: those condolences and really comforted her. He's over in another
Speaker 4: country advocating, let's bring back a gang member to the
Speaker 4: United States of America Brian Thomas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're so far on the wrong side of
Speaker 1: that issue that it just really it boggles my mind
Speaker 1: that a politician, you know, politicians like love look looking
Speaker 1: at polls and figure out which way the wind is
Speaker 1: blowing so they know what they should say to benefit
Speaker 1: the most people or at least get the most votes.
Speaker 1: This isn't I mean, this is like an eighty twenty issue.
Speaker 1: You know, they're on the wrong side of this in
Speaker 1: a huge way, and I can't imagine it benefiting them
Speaker 1: and iota, I mean, it's inexcusable and inexplicable to start with.
Speaker 1: But the fact that most people, Republicans and Democrats are
Speaker 1: in favor of kicking out illegal criminal illegal immigrants, most notably,
Speaker 1: I mean, just put them on the wrong side of
Speaker 1: the ledger. I don't get it.
Speaker 4: I don't get it. I mean, I want to emphasize
Speaker 4: that the guy that he's advocating for as a criminal
Speaker 4: record would stop in a vehicle, human trafficking, clearly tattooed
Speaker 4: up for a gang member. MS thirteen clearly clearly beat
Speaker 4: his wife up on two occasions. In an interview she
Speaker 4: could not even say on mainstream media that she was
Speaker 4: not fearful for her life, which is what she put
Speaker 4: on the restraining order on two separate occasions. Why would
Speaker 4: a senator be somewhere in another country. But I'm gonna
Speaker 4: pivot away from that and talk locally about our mayor
Speaker 4: pure vault. Look, I was the outgoing vice mayor of
Speaker 4: the City of Cincinnati, but I'm also a Christian and
Speaker 4: I have no problems leading with my faith. Brian Thomas.
Speaker 4: This weekend was one of the most sacred weekends for
Speaker 4: any Christian Resurrection weekend. We're coming from Good Friday, as
Speaker 4: you talked about, Eastern Sunday, Resurrection Day. Sunday, this is
Speaker 4: the day where we know that Jesus rose from the ditch,
Speaker 4: the meaning God said his only begotten son here he
Speaker 4: rows on the third day. And it's our relationship. It's
Speaker 4: how our sins are forgiven and how we can have
Speaker 4: a relationship directly with God. Who in the world would
Speaker 4: be doing a protest downtown if you're a mayor. I'm
Speaker 4: starting with I heard your caller call in about the
Speaker 4: issue with having a permit or not. Reality of it
Speaker 4: is what mayor with being downtown Cincinnati engaging in a
Speaker 4: protest when guests, our guests, our family, my family, they're
Speaker 4: all coming in town. They're coming in town to celebrate,
Speaker 4: like your family. Why would you greet them downtown with
Speaker 4: protests as they're trying to go to restaurants, as they're
Speaker 4: trying to host their families. Why would you do that
Speaker 4: on the most sacred Christian holiday ever. I haven't even
Speaker 4: gotten to the notion of breaking the law and not
Speaker 4: having a permit. It's like, God, what is this mayor
Speaker 4: thinking about?
Speaker 8: See?
Speaker 4: This is this woke liberalist that we all must reject.
Speaker 4: It's like, not even the etiquette. Why not do it
Speaker 4: this upcoming weekend? Why choose Resurrection weekend when Christians are
Speaker 4: celebrating their most important holiday.
Speaker 1: That's great question.
Speaker 4: I don't get this mayor. And it's why I'm supporting
Speaker 4: Corey Bowman for mayor because I keep seeing this craziness
Speaker 4: coming out of City Hall and there's not one member
Speaker 4: of council that will call this mayor on the carpet
Speaker 4: and say, let me tell you, I shouldn't have to
Speaker 4: call as a former vice mayor, they're nine members of council.
Speaker 4: They should be writing a dissent, saying, look, Mayor, why
Speaker 4: were you down there engaging in an illegal protest? No
Speaker 4: permitting blocking off streets, But why would you be doing
Speaker 4: that on the most sacred Christian holiday weekend? I don't
Speaker 4: understand it.
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas not to mention the apparently significant expense they
Speaker 1: had to pay overtime hours for the police department to
Speaker 1: have a present there, and the police officers, I get
Speaker 1: the impression from FOP President Ken Kober, were instructed that
Speaker 1: they shouldn't engage in ticketing folks for violating the law
Speaker 1: because they didn't have a permit. I mean, it just
Speaker 1: defeats the whole point of the permit process. If you
Speaker 1: aren't going to prosecute people for it, you aren't going
Speaker 1: to hand out citations, then what's the point of having
Speaker 1: the law in the books. Pause, we'll bring Christopher back.
Speaker 1: Maybe you can elaborate on that. Seven thirty six fifty

Speaker 1: Very Happy Monday to you. Monday Monday, Brian James off
Speaker 1: the top of the UR News. Quite a few topics
Speaker 1: talked about with Brian in the meantime. Christopher Smitheman, H yeah,
Speaker 1: Chris on the protest, you know, and Ken Kober pointed
Speaker 1: out that they didn't have a permit. It was unlawful
Speaker 1: for them to block the traffic, and I guess they
Speaker 1: were instructed not to a to anybody or issuing any citations.
Speaker 1: Seeing to me, I said, next time, once you arrest
Speaker 1: the mayor, you know you want a headlines grabber. The
Speaker 1: mayor arrested for violating the city ordinances, city law and
Speaker 1: participating in a protest without that license. That excuse me,
Speaker 1: that would speak volumes.
Speaker 4: I think it's a great taxpayer lawsuit. You know, there
Speaker 4: was a time where a lawyer by the name of
Speaker 4: Chris Finny would take these, uh, this type of litigation
Speaker 4: up saying that the taxpayers aren't responsible for any of
Speaker 4: that and that the organizers are responsible and have them
Speaker 4: pay the bills.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I like that, and so yeah, I think I think
Speaker 4: I think you could. You know there's somebody out there listening.
Speaker 4: You know, you just need one person and a good
Speaker 4: lawyer to follow a taxpayer lawsuit and start deposing people
Speaker 4: about was this a lawful a lawful event where if
Speaker 4: you tell everybody else they have to have a permit
Speaker 4: and they didn't have a permit, you've got a problem
Speaker 4: as a city. And because your mayor was there, it
Speaker 4: probably we would give them the opportunity to depose him directly.
Speaker 4: Very interesting lawsuits.
Speaker 1: One can only hope that someone out there here's that
Speaker 1: and says that's a great idea. I'm going to take
Speaker 1: Christmas Men's advice.
Speaker 4: But let me say this to you, Brian Thomas. You
Speaker 4: know I'm listening to these universities like Harvard and Columbia
Speaker 4: University Princeton, Harvard being in Columbia being the most, but
Speaker 4: there are lots of these liberal institutions that take federal money. First,
Speaker 4: I didn't realize how much money they were giving.
Speaker 1: I know, I was just gonna say that this is insane.
Speaker 4: By that I didn't realize we're giving Harvard over two
Speaker 4: billion dollars per year and they have a fifty three
Speaker 4: billion dollar endowment. Why are we giving these universities any money.
Speaker 1: And they're lined up around the block to get in there.
Speaker 1: It's not like they don't charge tuition. Hell, it's insane, man.
Speaker 4: Hundred one hundred thousand dollars a year or eighty thousand,
Speaker 4: whatever the number is. And then you see their privilege, right,
Speaker 4: They actually they've been getting this money every single year
Speaker 4: that they absolutely absolutely believe that our tax dollars, our
Speaker 4: federal tax dollars could go to them because of their right,
Speaker 4: their right to have it. They don't view it as hey, man,
Speaker 4: there are people out there that work who will never
Speaker 4: step foot on Harvard University. They're working construction jobs out here.
Speaker 4: They're working nine to five jobs as waitresses and waiters
Speaker 4: out here, right, they're making twenty dollars fifteen dollars, twelve
Speaker 4: dollars an hour. All that federal money that goes in
Speaker 4: as we come out of April of fifteen, why are
Speaker 4: we giving Harvard any money? The second point that I
Speaker 4: want to make about this for people to consider is
Speaker 4: that the university could just say I'm not gonna take
Speaker 4: the money and I'm gonna live, I'm gonna work as
Speaker 4: a private institution. They'll see that they I feel like
Speaker 4: they can get the money, but then they don't have
Speaker 4: to listen to the federal government. Right, These are some
Speaker 4: arrogant people, man, they are arrogant at all. Get out that.
Speaker 4: They say, taxpayers, I get your two billion dollars, but
Speaker 4: I don't have to listen to your government at all.
Speaker 4: I can do whatever I wanted to. What world are
Speaker 4: they living?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just every time I hear about that, you know,
Speaker 1: they get upset that the federal government is now requiring
Speaker 1: them to crack down on anti Semitism or whatever the
Speaker 1: federal gument is asking to do as a condition of
Speaker 1: accepting the money. It's okay when left wingers they tell you, well,
Speaker 1: you've got to teach DEEI, and you've got to you know,
Speaker 1: do this, that and the other thing. If it's some
Speaker 1: left wing proposal, they're not objecting against it. But as
Speaker 1: soon as the conservative administration comes in it says, no,
Speaker 1: we're going to be cracking down and trying to protect
Speaker 1: our Jewish students' friends, and you're going to help out
Speaker 1: or we're cutting you off. They get all bet out
Speaker 1: of shape over it. Like you said, be you like
Speaker 1: Hillsdale College. If you don't accept federal money. You don't
Speaker 1: have to accept federal strings. That's regardless of which political
Speaker 1: stripe they come in, exactly.
Speaker 4: And by the way, most Americans don't get a college education.
Speaker 4: You know, this notion that these up any students that
Speaker 4: are there, by the way, and I heard a commentator say,
Speaker 4: the majority of them will own homes in their life,
Speaker 4: but the people who are putting money in the pot won't.
Speaker 4: And so this notion that they can just go out
Speaker 4: say all this stuff about Hama, hate America, burn flags there,
Speaker 4: and then sit back and say, hey, I still get
Speaker 4: your two point three billion dollars while we have a
Speaker 4: fifty three billion dollar endowment. I mean, if they were
Speaker 4: saying they would just say, you know what, We'll forego
Speaker 4: this for the next eight years and we're going to
Speaker 4: use our endowment and we're gonna let our students do
Speaker 4: whatever they want to do. I think that's terrible for
Speaker 4: the Jewish community that you have students there that are
Speaker 4: anti Semitic. Mean, let me be clear. I support people's
Speaker 4: right to speak their First Amendment right, Brian Thomas, and
Speaker 4: I know you do too. People listening to us will go, well,
Speaker 4: they're against someone's First Amendment. Right, that's not what we're
Speaker 4: talking about. We're talking about their actions, their behavior. Them's
Speaker 4: blocking doors, knocking out windows, setting flags on fire, harassing
Speaker 4: other students that go to Harvard. That is what the
Speaker 4: White House is talking about. They're not talking about their
Speaker 4: right to go and have free speech. We're saying, listen,
Speaker 4: your free speech is in you're engaging in an action.
Speaker 4: Your behavior is what we're talking about. And they're asking
Speaker 4: Harvard and Princeton and Columbia to get it together, get
Speaker 4: their students together so that their actions and their behaviors
Speaker 4: reflect the United States of America. And it's citizens who
Speaker 4: are giving them these billions of dollars. I say, cut
Speaker 4: them all off, period, give them, not give them a dime,
Speaker 4: and not give them a dime for the next four years,
Speaker 4: and let them sue us, and let's go all the
Speaker 4: way to the Supreme Court with these privileged institutions that
Speaker 4: believe that we owe them to give them the billions
Speaker 4: of dollars and we don't.
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas, Yeah, it's a great idea, Christopher, And you know,
Speaker 1: it's just I'm happy all this is going on because
Speaker 1: it is I think, as you point out, there are
Speaker 1: a lot of hardworking people out there of different political
Speaker 1: stripes that just their mouths drop open in awe and
Speaker 1: disbelief that, oh, my god, how many years we've been
Speaker 1: given these institutions billions and billions of dollars that it
Speaker 1: took all this anti semitism and these shutdowns of college
Speaker 1: campuses to shed light on this. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: listen to what advantage of all this is that people
Speaker 1: finally see it for what it is and get as
Speaker 1: angry as you are about it, because you know, the
Speaker 1: hell with those people. I just I don't know, man.
Speaker 1: It's not like about extra money laying around. Christopher, you know,
Speaker 1: and you're a financial planner, I bet you could figure
Speaker 1: out probably pretty quickly how much money they earn in
Speaker 1: investments on that fifty two to three billion dollars in
Speaker 1: dollar that they have. It's not like it's a static,
Speaker 1: finite amount of money that isn't going to that's gonna
Speaker 1: shrink up and disappear.
Speaker 4: And what's so crazy about it? To your listening audience
Speaker 4: who knows this, They are layered on top of it,
Speaker 4: they get a tax e zip status. Yeah, they're not
Speaker 4: even paying taxes, brother, we're giving them two billion dollars
Speaker 4: or over that of money right out of our checks
Speaker 4: to them. They have a fifty three billion dollar endowment
Speaker 4: and they're paying zero in taxes. Now, I will tell
Speaker 4: you that. Right now, my daughter and I are traveling
Speaker 4: around the state of Ohio visiting colleges and universities, places
Speaker 4: like the Ohio State University, Miami of Ohio, Mount Saint Joe.
Speaker 4: We'll be checking out BGSU Finley, might go up to AKROM,
Speaker 4: but we're doing this right now. Sure, I want to
Speaker 4: be open with you.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 4: Look, I don't want my daughter to go to one
Speaker 4: of these institutions that thinks it's okay to break windows out,
Speaker 4: harass any student, a Jewish student, an African American student,
Speaker 4: an Italian student, and international student. It's unacceptable behavior. These
Speaker 4: eighteen and nineteen and twenty one year olds and twenty
Speaker 4: two year olds that are going to these institutions, who
Speaker 4: are coming from privileged households, privileged households are out of
Speaker 4: control when they think they can walk up and block
Speaker 4: my daughter from walking into a library. I mean this notion.
Speaker 4: So I'm looking at institutions and I'm trying to figure
Speaker 4: out as I talk to my daughter to say, look,
Speaker 4: I want to make sure that we're picking the best
Speaker 4: institution for you, and I don't want her around this
Speaker 4: kind of wokeness. I don't like it at all. I
Speaker 4: think it's incredibly disrespectful. And I don't like students that
Speaker 4: think it's okay to harass other students to bully them.
Speaker 4: What's going on with the Democratic Party that they would
Speaker 4: think this behavior is okay? Brian Thomas, I thought this
Speaker 4: was a party of inclusion. I thought it was a
Speaker 4: party of acceptance. It doesn't feel that way to me.
Speaker 4: It feels like I'm gonna shove my values down your
Speaker 4: throat and if you don't like it, screw you. I
Speaker 4: have a problem with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do too. And you know the party that's
Speaker 1: running around calling you know, Donald Trump and and all
Speaker 1: the Republicans and Nazis. Trump is the one trying to
Speaker 1: help the Jewish students get an education. Nazis are the
Speaker 1: ones that wanted to kill the Jews? Am I misremembering history? Christopher?
Speaker 1: It just seems to me to be a little bit odd.
Speaker 4: Ryan Thomas, you are absolutely right on point, and the
Speaker 4: hypocrisy is just amazing. You've got Democratic senators flying out
Speaker 4: of the out of our country, trying to bring back
Speaker 4: people that came into our country illegally, right, who who
Speaker 4: are raping and maiming our American citizens. Right. And at
Speaker 4: the same time they're saying, university it's okay to harass
Speaker 4: Jewish students. I hope Jewish leadership, I hope they're watching
Speaker 4: this very very closely. And because just like African Americans,
Speaker 4: the Jewish community often votes democratics to the Democratic Party, right,
Speaker 4: and so I'm hoping they're waking up saying, at least
Speaker 4: move to being an independent, hold your vote and why again,
Speaker 4: I can't say enough. I'm voting for Corey Bowman, and
Speaker 4: I'm encouraging other people to vote for him for mayor.
Speaker 4: Let's not just surrender our values to think that it's
Speaker 4: okay for a mayor to go in our downtown Cincinnati
Speaker 4: on our most sacred Christian holiday without a permit, right,
Speaker 4: without a permit, using our taxpayer dollars to protect illegal behavior.
Speaker 4: It's not the First Amendment speech you and I are
Speaker 4: talking about. So nobody emailed me, nobody texts me I
Speaker 4: support the First Amendment, right, I'm talking about not having
Speaker 4: a permit. Your caller who your guest caller that called
Speaker 4: in is right on point. That was illegal. And our
Speaker 4: mayor went down there and hobnobbed and got on the
Speaker 4: got on his big mic and went down there with
Speaker 4: him where he was engaging in something that was illegal.
Speaker 4: It just I'm just insulted that he would do it
Speaker 4: on Resurrection weekend. And if you're a Christian out there
Speaker 4: like me on fire for God, I'm hoping that you
Speaker 4: are as offended hearing my voice that our mayor, I
Speaker 4: don't care whether you're a Democrat or Republican or independent
Speaker 4: with downtown when our families are coming in engaging in
Speaker 4: an unlawful protest without apartment on our resurrection weekend. Well
Speaker 4: stayed on him.
Speaker 1: Well stated Christopher, you are on fire today, Well stated
Speaker 1: smither vent. God bless you, Christopher. We'll talk again real

Speaker 1: fifty five KRC the Talk Station. Very Happy Monday to you.
Speaker 1: Always Money Monday with Brian James, all the financials. Brian
Speaker 1: James during the program every Monday to talk markets and
Speaker 1: talk volatility and talk about four oh one k's welcome back,
Speaker 1: Brian James. It's always a pleasure to having you on
Speaker 1: the program. His microphones off, see if yes it is there?
Speaker 1: Yes it was off. There you go.
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, and I was. I was ready to roll,
Speaker 2: all ready to get our Monday kicked off and I'm
Speaker 2: talking to myself. Apologies for us some technical inaptitude here. Yes,
Speaker 2: another Monday, another discussion of volatility and craziness and audio problems.
Speaker 1: Coming off a week of vacation, I feel as though
Speaker 1: I'm not firing on all cylinders. I like vacation. It's
Speaker 1: like you need a vacation after your vacation, so you know. Anyway,
Speaker 1: struggling to scooch myself this morning, but MIC's are on.
Speaker 1: It's time to talk money matters. Let's talk about stock
Speaker 1: market volatility. I no market genius, am I, Brian. That's
Speaker 1: why I have someone managing my you know, my my
Speaker 1: certified financial planner managing my affairs. I don't want to
Speaker 1: have have to pay attention to it. But I have
Speaker 1: some general understandings and things like that. But I get
Speaker 1: the impression that the volatility in the market, and it
Speaker 1: has been kind of up and down with all these
Speaker 1: talks about tariffs. I just I just get the impression
Speaker 1: no one really knows what they're gonna do these tariffs
Speaker 1: and how we're going to be dealing with it, or
Speaker 1: what is going to emerge as a consequence of them.
Speaker 1: Will they stay around? Will Donald Trump pull the plug
Speaker 1: on them? Is he going to negotiate better deals with
Speaker 1: different countries? Is China going to hold out? I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just seems to me a whole lot of question
Speaker 1: mark swirling around it, and that uncertainty of its in
Speaker 1: and of itself brings around volatility. I suppose, doesn't it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does. And I'm looking at what happened last week.
Speaker 2: My first comment was going to be it was relatively
Speaker 2: quiet week, but then I realized, no, it wasn't. Hasn't
Speaker 2: been quiet week all year long. It's been nothing but
Speaker 2: chaos because we're simply finding our way. You know, a
Speaker 2: quiet week simply means the market bounced up and down violently,
Speaker 2: but then kind of ended where we're it started, So
Speaker 2: there was no you know, kind of week over week impacts.
Speaker 2: But yeah, we have reached the stage. We know we're
Speaker 2: in chaos right now. We know there's a there's change
Speaker 2: coming and we're we're under We're under a lot of
Speaker 2: it right now. The market absolutely hates that. It's not that,
Speaker 2: you know, we're gonna go over the cliff and hit
Speaker 2: the bottom and that's going to be the end and
Speaker 2: we're all gonna, you know, live in caves and buy
Speaker 2: ammunition and grow corn for the rest of our lives.
Speaker 2: It's that's not that's not where we are. But the
Speaker 2: market is behaving the way it is because it simply
Speaker 2: can't see. We're flailing around in the fog. The market
Speaker 2: absolutely hates when it can't predict what's coming. So therefore,
Speaker 2: with what the market always wants to know. You know,
Speaker 2: there are a number of earnings reports, for example, coming
Speaker 2: this week from big companies like Verizon, AT and T,
Speaker 2: P and G and some of the big names. We
Speaker 2: are going to be listening. What we're going to focus
Speaker 2: on this week is what are those companies saying in
Speaker 2: terms of visibility. Doesn't really matter what they did in
Speaker 2: the last core. We't care about that anymore. That's that's
Speaker 2: that's over and done with. What are they what what
Speaker 2: position are they going to take over the next several
Speaker 2: months with regard to tariffs. So, for example, if Proctor
Speaker 2: and Gamble manufactured stuff overseas and wants to move country
Speaker 2: to country. What's the tariff going to be on the
Speaker 2: day that that package of stuff arrives in whatever country
Speaker 2: it's it's destined for. And we don't know that right
Speaker 2: now because that literally changes that you as you just said,
Speaker 2: that changes almost day to day anymore. The market absolutely
Speaker 2: hates that because it cannot calculate what a successful transaction
Speaker 2: should result in in terms of profit. Therefore we have
Speaker 2: these violence wings back and forth.
Speaker 7: For this world.
Speaker 1: The planning is, I mean the markets. If there's if
Speaker 1: you can count on something happening, even if like taxes
Speaker 1: are going to increase, you know it's going to happen.
Speaker 1: It's going to be x. They can factor that in
Speaker 1: and deal with it because there's some certainty into what's
Speaker 1: coming in the future. It may not be as good.
Speaker 1: Financial projections may not be as good, but at least
Speaker 1: they can have some you know, sound ground upon which
Speaker 1: to make these predictions and and sort of plan their future.
Speaker 1: And right now we're kind of like a ship without
Speaker 1: a rudder, it seems.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much. And that is there's so much history
Speaker 2: between when we can say okay, We know that P
Speaker 2: and G, Google, Apple, whatever, sold x number of units,
Speaker 2: and they normally have this kind of a profit profit
Speaker 2: margin when they do those kinds of things. So therefore
Speaker 2: the stocks should move like this and we can kind
Speaker 2: of anticipate, and that's what analysts basically get paid to do.
Speaker 2: But right now that profit margin is in question because
Speaker 2: because of all the tariffs and all those kinds of things,
Speaker 2: what is the dream going to be? And so what
Speaker 2: we're seeing is it's an interesting divergence. I'm looking at
Speaker 2: a chart right now just where everything is so prior
Speaker 2: to this week, even the European Far Eastern Asian stocks,
Speaker 2: you know, which is basically the S and P five
Speaker 2: hundred of the rest of the world, last week they
Speaker 2: were down about three four percent for the year. As
Speaker 2: we're sitting here right now, Brian Thomas, they're up about
Speaker 2: seven percent for the year. Now, compare that with the Nasdaq,
Speaker 2: which still sits down about sixteen percent, the S and
Speaker 2: P five hundreds down ten and even the dall is
Speaker 2: down eight percent. So the point of all that is
Speaker 2: there is volatility, but that also means there's upside to it.
Speaker 2: The companies that are doing the best are the ones
Speaker 2: that potentially have an opportunity here. And we've talked about
Speaker 2: this before, but there are probably some funds, hopefully some
Speaker 2: funds in your portfolio that you haven't been paying attention
Speaker 2: to in years. I'm speaking of the international stocks in
Speaker 2: the emerging markets, which is which are more like the Brazil, India, China,
Speaker 2: those kinds of things. We haven't talked about those countries
Speaker 2: in a long long time, but they're all lining up
Speaker 2: looking at this opportunity, watching the United States choose to
Speaker 2: fight with its customers, and they're looking for opportunities to
Speaker 2: create new markets where for those countries there wasn't one before.
Speaker 2: And so that's why the market is sensing that, hey,
Speaker 2: these companies that maybe weren't as big as players as
Speaker 2: they were in the past may now have a great opportunity.
Speaker 2: That's why they're up seven percent. So if you have
Speaker 2: a properly diversified portfolio, you really shouldn't be getting killed.
Speaker 2: If you're down fifteen to twenty percent, then my guess
Speaker 2: has been you've been chasing technology for the last fifteen
Speaker 2: years and it's coming around to bite you in the
Speaker 2: rear end.
Speaker 1: Well, there's I mean, there's opportunity built in a lot
Speaker 1: of this, And I mean, depending on where you look.
Speaker 1: If you read the Wall Street Journal, we're all going
Speaker 1: to die because tariff suck. And that's just the general
Speaker 1: impression that they have. But there's been a lot of
Speaker 1: sort of bright spots in this that major companies, multi
Speaker 1: billion dollar companies are planning on building here and moving
Speaker 1: production here. Like for example, there's a terrible situation going
Speaker 1: if you haven't read about it, between China and Taiwan,
Speaker 1: and it looks like, you know, China's gonna invade any moment,
Speaker 1: at least it's always seen that way for the past
Speaker 1: couple of years. But all the major chip production is
Speaker 1: being done in Taiwan. Sounds me like going to start
Speaker 1: bringing chip production here to the United States. So ultimately
Speaker 1: we can benefit by this. It's not going to be immediate.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to wait for it because you just
Speaker 1: don't create a chip factory overnight. But if we ultimately,
Speaker 1: you know, have some domestic supply for some things that
Speaker 1: we haven't had for a long time, isn't that ultimately
Speaker 1: good for us over the long term.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is the hope, And we had some of
Speaker 2: that was rolling forward. There are two chip factories southeast
Speaker 2: of Columbus that are that are under construction. Unfortunately that
Speaker 2: hit there recently, that hit the news hit not too
Speaker 2: long ago. That Intel, who was behind that, is coming
Speaker 2: on some hard times, partially because of the technology that
Speaker 2: they provide. That another chip company, AMDs, maybe has some
Speaker 2: better ideas in that space, and that news hit at
Speaker 2: an unfortunate time a couple of maybe a year year
Speaker 2: and a half ago where that started to come to light.
Speaker 2: And so those two plants are sometimes in question. I
Speaker 2: cannot imagine they're going to walk away from them in mothballum,
Speaker 2: but they're not as moving forward with as much gusto
Speaker 2: as they originally were. But that all came from the
Speaker 2: original idea. It originally started with national security. We can't
Speaker 2: keep buying chips from overseas not knowing exactly what our enemies,
Speaker 2: speaking specifically of China are putting into those chips, the
Speaker 2: influence that they have, and if they managed to take
Speaker 2: over Taiwan, like you were just hinting, well, that's where
Speaker 2: most of the chips come from anyway, from Taiwan's semiconductor
Speaker 2: although some of the plants are here in the United
Speaker 2: States as well. But yes, that is definitely one of
Speaker 2: the goals. It's not going to happen overnight. And when
Speaker 2: we've got interest rates bouncing around, inflation and tariffs and
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff, companies are going to be
Speaker 2: hesitant to make such a massive, massive investment to bring
Speaker 2: one of these huge plants online in the United States,
Speaker 2: if they were turning the first shovel full of dirt
Speaker 2: over today, it would probably be three years before they
Speaker 2: could start producing something with any kind of regularity. So
Speaker 2: we need some clarity here.
Speaker 1: Well, definitely need some clarity, and it doesn't look like
Speaker 1: it's going to be coming any times soon. We demand
Speaker 1: instant answers and instant gratification and even in the markets,
Speaker 1: and quite awful, we don't get that. We're going to
Speaker 1: find out if we should be looking at our four
Speaker 1: oh one cas is this a good buying opportunity notwithstanding volatility?
Speaker 1: And we'll talk about the FED and which direction the
Speaker 1: rates are going to go more with Brian James after
Speaker 1: a quick word here for affordable imaging services. Got my
Speaker 1: CT scan a couple of weeks ago. Oh, that's actually
Speaker 1: been more of than a couple of weeks. But you know,
Speaker 1: everything went great. The CT scan int Affordable Imaging Services
Speaker 1: was great. My doctor read it and interpreted it, and
Speaker 1: while my lift notes did grow a little bit, not
Speaker 1: so much that I need to get treatment. So overall
Speaker 1: the results were good. But my point is with Affordable
Speaker 1: Imaging Services, I paid a mere fraction for that CT scan,
Speaker 1: which could have set me back five grand at a hospital.
Speaker 1: You get a CT scan without a contrast for four
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty bucks at Affordable Imaging Services six hundred
Speaker 1: with a contrast. Every image at Affordable Imaging Services comes
Speaker 1: with at board certified radiologist report, which again my doctor
Speaker 1: had no problem with. Just nice echo cardigram. Sure, wait
Speaker 1: around a month maybe more to get in the hospital
Speaker 1: at Echo cardigram department. How about not get you right
Speaker 1: in and Affordable Imaging Services where without an enhancement's only
Speaker 1: going to set you back five hundred dollars eight hundred
Speaker 1: bucks with an enhancement and again that can act quickly
Speaker 1: and get your right in CT scans, MRIs ultrasounds. Just
Speaker 1: save yourself a heapload of money. Exercise your choice when
Speaker 1: it comes to your medical care. You have it five
Speaker 1: one three seven five three eight thousand five one, three, seven, five, three,
Speaker 1: eight thousand. To learn more about affordable imaging services, check
Speaker 1: them out online Affordable Medimaging dot.
Speaker 3: Com fifty five KRC FOURT.
Speaker 1: Eight nineteen If if you got kc DE Talk Station
Speaker 1: Money Monday with Brian James, Thanks to all with financial
Speaker 1: loaning them out for a few segments here every Monday
Speaker 1: and pivoting over. We talked about market volatility. I understand
Speaker 1: why it's there, but obviously market volatility impacts our four
Speaker 1: to oh one K. And something I never do is
Speaker 1: jack where my four to oh one K is at
Speaker 1: least you know, with the exception of my twice annual
Speaker 1: visits with my financial planner. I mean, I lived through
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen downturn. I saw at one point how
Speaker 1: much I lost and lo and behold, if you wait
Speaker 1: around long enough, it all comes back and then you
Speaker 1: end up having more, which is exactly what happened with me.
Speaker 1: So I like to avoid the headache and the heartburn
Speaker 1: and everything might go along with it, because you know,
Speaker 1: until you sell, you haven't really made or lost, right Brian,
Speaker 1: So should we be looking at our four to one
Speaker 1: K balances?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Well, hopefully you're looking at it and seeing that it's
Speaker 2: not as bad as you thought it was going to be.
Speaker 2: And the reason I say that is because hopefully this
Speaker 2: isn't the first time you've looked at it. So you're
Speaker 2: doing things the right way, and you have looked at
Speaker 2: what your ultimate goals are and you understand some market history.
Speaker 2: Then hopefully that decision resulted in a diversified portfolio that
Speaker 2: owns just a little bit of everything. Every four roh
Speaker 2: and K out there has enough where you can build
Speaker 2: a set it and forget it type of a portfolio
Speaker 2: and do just what Brian Thomas is doing, which is
Speaker 2: look at it a couple times a year. It's not
Speaker 2: money that you're gonna need tomorrow. If that is the case,
Speaker 2: then you already screwed up before four oh and K
Speaker 2: is your only source of wealth. That's a problem. That
Speaker 2: means you have no cash, you got no oil in
Speaker 2: the engine, and that kind of thing. This should be
Speaker 2: the money that's out there for at least five, ten,
Speaker 2: even fifteen years to help you fight off inflation. And
Speaker 2: if you look at any chart, any chart of the
Speaker 2: stock market over the last thirty years, then you will
Speaker 2: notice it goes one direction. That direction is up. However,
Speaker 2: we have our our little head fakes every now and then.
Speaker 2: I remember when I first started in this industry, was
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety seven, and the Russian ruble collapsed in ninety eight,
Speaker 2: and then we had something called Long Term Capital's a
Speaker 2: hedge fund that collapsed. I remember thinking, in my youthful stupidity,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, this time it's different. I'm special, I'm
Speaker 2: scared now, So now this one counts and in the
Speaker 2: end and the end, it doesn't matter. It's just a
Speaker 2: reshuffling of the deck and different leaders will to take
Speaker 2: the move to the forefront. Shortly after that we had
Speaker 2: the huge technology boom. All of it became a catalyst.
Speaker 2: Whenever there's some kind of panic in the market, somebody
Speaker 2: takes advantage of the opportunity to drive things further. As
Speaker 2: we hinted out in the earlier segment, right now, it
Speaker 2: appears to be the international stocks are going to take
Speaker 2: the lead for a while. So far, that's been the case.
Speaker 2: If you don't own any it's not helping you, and
Speaker 2: you will feel targeted by the market. Market doesn't care
Speaker 2: about you. It only cares about about what it can
Speaker 2: see forward. And right now, that's not very much. So
Speaker 2: make sure that your portfolio is at least spread out
Speaker 2: across these different things so that as things have been flow,
Speaker 2: you'll benefit from it, but you don't take it on
Speaker 2: the chin if something completely falls apart.
Speaker 1: Well, and there's you know, conservative investing, and then there's
Speaker 1: you know, riskier investing. You know, obviously with risk you're investing.
Speaker 1: The idea of getting a bigger return is always there.
Speaker 1: You know, every time I meet with financial and there's
Speaker 1: always that one fund like twenty five percent return, and
Speaker 1: you're like, damn it, I wish I had put more
Speaker 1: in there in that one because look this one over
Speaker 1: here only got me four percent return. How often should
Speaker 1: we be adjusting the different funds that we're in or
Speaker 1: is that something that we shouldn't be doing very often?
Speaker 1: Does depend on where we are in our life close
Speaker 1: to retirement. What's the story on that? Ran?
Speaker 2: Yeah, great question. So how often if I shouldn't be
Speaker 2: in there every day goof around with it, well, then
Speaker 2: should I never look at it?
Speaker 12: Now?
Speaker 2: The answer the answer to that is I'd say maybe
Speaker 2: maybe once a year to really get under the hood
Speaker 2: and make sure that you have what you need. Generally speaking,
Speaker 2: once properly diversified, A four oh one K will usually
Speaker 2: pretty much stay in balance. A boy the way four
Speaker 2: oh one K, four oh three B. You might have
Speaker 2: a step I, RA whatever, which we're referring to your
Speaker 2: employer retirement plan that you were probably putting money into
Speaker 2: every week, every two weeks, every month, or however often
Speaker 2: you get paid. That inflow, that constant inflow of cash
Speaker 2: tends to keep it in balance. If you balance that once,
Speaker 2: you know, a year ago, and you put a bunch
Speaker 2: of money and left it all alone, it's probably still
Speaker 2: reasonably in bounced. I'm not talking about the you know,
Speaker 2: the dollar amounts. The dollar amount could actually be down,
Speaker 2: of course because of where the market is, But I'm
Speaker 2: talking about the different sizes of the various positions you
Speaker 2: hold in that retirement plan. That constant inflow from payroll
Speaker 2: tends to keep the whole thing in balance. Because if
Speaker 2: something's taking a beating, then it meaning it's down more
Speaker 2: than everything else in the portfolio. Well, you've just bought
Speaker 2: more shares of it because you have put the same
Speaker 2: fixed dollar amount in every pay period as you've been
Speaker 2: doing for years, So that tends to again keep it
Speaker 2: in bounced. So it shouldn't be too far out of whack.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: On the other hand, if you notice that it is
Speaker 2: way out of balance, I would really be looking under
Speaker 2: the hood for how did that happen? And it's not
Speaker 2: so much about what do I have to fix right now.
Speaker 2: It's more about, Okay, let's the next time we go
Speaker 2: through a crazy cycle like this, and granted we're in
Speaker 2: the middle of this one, but the next time it
Speaker 2: comes around, how should I make some changes now so
Speaker 2: that I don't hit that roller coaster later. And it's
Speaker 2: not about never losing. That's one of the guarantees that
Speaker 2: want to give everybody, you know, as a financial planner,
Speaker 2: with some I guarantee my clients Occasionally, you're gonna lose money.
Speaker 2: We're gonna lose your money. It's the reality of it.
Speaker 2: My job is to help you navigate through that and
Speaker 2: not avoid it, because there's no such thing. So be
Speaker 2: prepared for that, learn your history, and then understand the
Speaker 2: levers you need to pull inside your flour one k
Speaker 2: to make sure it doesn't sink your ship.
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's pause. We'll bring Brian James back
Speaker 1: for one more. We'll talk about fed raids and whether
Speaker 1: or not this represents a buying opportunity right now. I
Speaker 1: also want to address the subject matter of you know,
Speaker 1: having money in bonds was always like the conservative, really
Speaker 1: safe place to keep your money, not as high an
Speaker 1: interest return as that in stocks. But you know, I'm
Speaker 1: wondering where we are relative to the bond market considering
Speaker 1: the volatility and all the craziness going on in the world. Pause.

Speaker 1: It's a thirty fifty five air Ceed talk station. Very
Speaker 1: happy Monday to you one more with Brian James doing
Speaker 1: that money Monday thing. In terms of buying opportunity, I
Speaker 1: would think, you know, if you're investing for the long term,
Speaker 1: it's always a buying opportunity where the market's up or
Speaker 1: down as long as you get your money invested. So
Speaker 1: what's the story now with this volatility? And and I
Speaker 1: guess leading us to a conversation about which direction the
Speaker 1: Fed is going to go with rates? And then my
Speaker 1: question about bonds always the safest investment, but is that
Speaker 1: always going to be the case? We got all these
Speaker 1: international trade disputes going on in China owns a lot
Speaker 1: of our debt in the form of bonds, and what
Speaker 1: if they quit, you know, buying them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are lots of concerns out there, and we
Speaker 2: are kind of shuffling the decks in terms of what
Speaker 2: we what we view as risky versus not. To address
Speaker 2: your first question, yeah, I'm not a believer at all,
Speaker 2: Brian in market timing. And so when we say is
Speaker 2: this a buying opportunity, should I put some of my
Speaker 2: cash to work? My first question to that person is
Speaker 2: going to be, well, what has your cash been doing?
Speaker 2: Have you been sitting on a pile of cash waiting
Speaker 2: for this?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 2: If so, then yeah, absolutely put it to work. But
Speaker 2: I'd have told you that in December two before we
Speaker 2: kind of hit the skids, because again I don't believe
Speaker 2: in market timing at all. You can be right nine
Speaker 2: times in a row and be wrong the tenth time
Speaker 2: you go right back to the beginning. So what I
Speaker 2: will throw out there Brian, though, is this can be
Speaker 2: just to kind of think a little differently about this
Speaker 2: a buying opportunity, yes, but also for some people in
Speaker 2: the right situation, it could be a conversion opportunity. And
Speaker 2: what I'm getting at there is if you have a
Speaker 2: huge pile of money on your pre tax side, your
Speaker 2: four oh and K, your iras, the traditional side of
Speaker 2: things that has never been taxed before, but is going
Speaker 2: to get the daylights kicked out of it by the
Speaker 2: time you reach age seventy three to seventy five, depending
Speaker 2: on how old you are now, then this while the
Speaker 2: market is down, can be a great time to go
Speaker 2: ahead and take some of that cash and tay time
Speaker 2: with it. Convert your traditional IRA to WROTH and from
Speaker 2: then on, as we recover, from then on, those games
Speaker 2: are going to be tax free. You're going to reduce
Speaker 2: your require minimum distributions, You're going to reduce the tax
Speaker 2: hit down the road. So on one hand, yeah, when
Speaker 2: the market's down, is it a buying opportunity. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: pretty much always the case because eventually it turns around
Speaker 2: goes back up. But I think what people need to
Speaker 2: be looking at more is not only you know, for
Speaker 2: buying opportunities, but can I rearrange my tax situation? How
Speaker 2: what's in this opportunity for me to kind of benefit
Speaker 2: and again never pay taxes again. There's a lot of
Speaker 2: moving parts to that, but I think that's something that
Speaker 2: this generation of retirees ought to start to learn more about.
Speaker 1: Is there any limitation to converting to ROTH, I mean,
Speaker 1: like financial limitations or earnings or anything like that, or
Speaker 1: is just something that anybody can do?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the great thing about it. So what we
Speaker 2: tend to think about roth irais as being somewhat limited
Speaker 2: because I can only make so much money to contribute, right. However,
Speaker 2: that is not the case when it comes to converting
Speaker 2: a conversion is not a contribution conversion. I'm taking money
Speaker 2: that is already inside of an IRA and I'm converting
Speaker 2: it from the pretax side to the ross side. There
Speaker 2: is no income limit. The only thing you got to
Speaker 2: deal with is what are the taxes that you'll pay.
Speaker 2: You have to take that conversion amount, add it to
Speaker 2: your your other sources income. You also want to be careful.
Speaker 2: You know, if you're close to Medicare age, then it
Speaker 2: could factor into driving your Medicare premiums a little higher.
Speaker 2: But a married couple can get up to two hundred
Speaker 2: and ten thousand dollars of income before that's an issue.
Speaker 2: Single person one hundred thousand dollars. But if you've got
Speaker 2: the ability to do that, it can't even be worth
Speaker 2: taking that hit when you look at the fifteen to
Speaker 2: twenty year impact of a decision like.
Speaker 1: This, all right now, pivoting over before we part company
Speaker 1: to day Brian James fed interest rates, which were you
Speaker 1: sensing the direction you're going to go? They're going to
Speaker 1: remain the same go up, go down. Where are we
Speaker 1: on that?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 2: Yeah, as of right now, So to fetch our Powell
Speaker 2: talk last week and said the federal reserve is going
Speaker 2: to stand down in any rate moves for the time being. Again,
Speaker 2: waiting for greater clarity was the quote that he used.
Speaker 2: So we've been talking about that all morning. He's got
Speaker 2: the same problem that we do. We simply can't see
Speaker 2: that far into the future.
Speaker 1: Well, are there any reports coming out and that might
Speaker 1: shed some light on which direction they're going to go,
Speaker 1: because I think a lot of people are looking for
Speaker 1: a little relief in terms of like home mortgage interest rates.
Speaker 2: Right so that that's where we would want to see it.
Speaker 2: But unfortunately consumers are still spending. We really haven't, you know,
Speaker 2: we're still in the same mode that we were before.
Speaker 2: And so right now the chair Powell is not seeing
Speaker 2: a reason to put another cut in place because because
Speaker 2: of the clarity, he can't see in the future any
Speaker 2: further than we can. And the idea that I believe
Speaker 2: underlying all this is his concern that inflation is going
Speaker 2: to come back quickly if we drop interest rates, because
Speaker 2: we simply seem to have that ability still to run
Speaker 2: the economy a little faster than it should be whenever
Speaker 2: there's an opportunity such as lower interest rates, and he
Speaker 2: does not want inflation to come roaring back. You know,
Speaker 2: despite what the President says. President doesn't like him a
Speaker 2: whole lot. But it's not going to be very easy
Speaker 2: for for Trump to do anything directly with Powell. But
Speaker 2: at this point we're kind of in a holding pattern unfortunately.
Speaker 1: Well, and going back to our initial conversation about tariffs,
Speaker 1: that they may very well have an inflationary impact just
Speaker 1: in and of themselves, regardless of you know, simple laws
Speaker 1: of supplying demand. If you're going to tear iff something,
Speaker 1: it's going to go up in price. Yeah, that's we're
Speaker 1: simply layering more cost onto something.
Speaker 2: And you know we can't view this. We're going to
Speaker 2: make these other countries pay these arffs. Well, that's just
Speaker 2: not how it works. That's like saying, you know, a
Speaker 2: landlord is or a landlord is simply going to eat
Speaker 2: the increase in property taxes. No they're not. They're going
Speaker 2: to increase the rents on their renters. It all gets
Speaker 2: passed down to the consumer. That's the difference between a
Speaker 2: consumer and a producer. Consumer is at the bottom of
Speaker 2: the pile and has to eat whatever the changes are. Ultimately,
Speaker 2: now those companies can be hurt one way or another.
Speaker 2: Because they you know, maybe consumers look the other way,
Speaker 2: look for different opportunities. And that goes back to what
Speaker 2: we were saying before about international stocks outperforming. There are
Speaker 2: countries out there who aren't going through this and have
Speaker 2: the capability to produce some of the goods and certaviss
Speaker 2: that in the United States are current for United States
Speaker 2: consumers are currently going to be affected by the tariffs.
Speaker 2: So those companies have a great opportunity in front of
Speaker 2: them because they don't have those hurdles.
Speaker 1: Fair enough, Brian James, always enjoy our conversations. Very important
Speaker 1: and uh interesting information and h I think solid advice
Speaker 1: as always like to point that out. Get yourself a
Speaker 1: financial planner and take the weight off your own shoulders.
Speaker 1: Brian James, We'll look forward to next Monday in an
Speaker 1: audition of Monday. Monday, have a great week, my friend.
Speaker 2: All right, have a good week. We'll talk to you Monday.
Speaker 1: All right, A thirty six right now if you have
Speaker 1: Cacy de talk stations stick around, a deep look at
Speaker 1: China's internal challenges. My next guest Breitbart's Francis Martel. She's
Speaker 1: the international editor. She'll be on next after I mentioned
Speaker 1: you know, well, real estate agents and the best real
Speaker 1: estate agents in town. You're not going to find a
Speaker 1: better team. Peter Shabrie Group of Colorwiams seven Hills, some
Speaker 1: of the finest agents around in offering programs that nobody
Speaker 1: else is offering, and the only agents I would ever
Speaker 1: trust to buy or sell a home. Guaranteed about this.
Speaker 1: You sit down with Peter Shabri, you agree on a
Speaker 1: price and a timeline with Peter's team at the outset,
Speaker 1: and if they don't sell your home at that price
Speaker 1: and by that time, Peter will buy it at they'll
Speaker 1: agreed upon price. So you clear expectations, simple, easy to understand.
Speaker 1: You know when the end is coming, and you know
Speaker 1: I'm telling you Peter Shabrie and the Corotabery Group will
Speaker 1: probably sell your house for a lot more money and
Speaker 1: on a shorter timeline. But at least you know you've
Speaker 1: got a finite time and an agreed upon price. Peter
Speaker 1: will buy it if it's not sold by that time.
Speaker 1: Just one of the many programs that they offer and
Speaker 1: nobody else is doing. Get in touch with them. It's
Speaker 1: easy to do. Five to one three seven zero eight
Speaker 1: three thousand, five to one three seven zero eight three thousand,
Speaker 1: go directly to the website. Just drop the five to
Speaker 1: one three seven zero eight three thousand dot com.
Speaker 6: This is fifty five krc AN iHeartRadio station, A forty E.
Speaker 1: Here fifty five KRCD talk station. Very happy Monday to you,
Speaker 1: Extra special Monday. We get the insights good from Breitbart
Speaker 1: News every Tuesday Day five. Today got a little insight
Speaker 1: into what is life like within China's borders. It's an
Speaker 1: empower youth seminar that'll be done by my next guest,
Speaker 1: Francis Martel, Breitbart's international editor and she's been with breit
Speaker 1: Bart since twenty thirteen. I always recommend when I talk
Speaker 1: about Breitbart b R E I T B A r
Speaker 1: T Breitbart dot com book market, you'll be glad you
Speaker 1: did because you get to read about what Francis Martel
Speaker 1: is writing. Francis, welcome back to the fifty five KC
Speaker 1: Morning Show. It's great to have you on.
Speaker 12: Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 1: Not all is Rosie in China. I get the impression,
Speaker 1: I mean, we get this. I mean I worry about China. Obviously,
Speaker 1: they you know, cracked into all our computer systems. They've
Speaker 1: you know, interrupted it. They've got, you know, chips that
Speaker 1: are have nefarious built in components to them. They're building
Speaker 1: up their military in a very rapid pace. They always
Speaker 1: are threatening to take over Taiwan. I mean, it just
Speaker 1: seems like they're on a roll. And yet it's not
Speaker 1: that Rosie in China, I understand, tell my listeners a
Speaker 1: little about what you're gonna be talking about tomorrow night
Speaker 1: at seven pm.
Speaker 12: Absolutely, so you know, it doesn't feel like they're on
Speaker 12: a role. When you look at just the general sentiment,
Speaker 12: especially around young Chinese millennials and gen z, they are
Speaker 12: very despondent about the future of the country. One of
Speaker 12: the terms that they've been using on social media is
Speaker 12: the phrase garbage time of history, which is garbage time
Speaker 12: is a basketball term. It just means the end of
Speaker 12: the basketball game where it's obvious one team is going
Speaker 12: to win and nothing matters. They see the current time
Speaker 12: period as that. But it's obvious America is going to
Speaker 12: win and there's no point to the competition. So that's
Speaker 12: the attitude from young Chinese, and a lot of that
Speaker 12: is unemployment. A lot of that is the feeling that
Speaker 12: they will never be able to own a house that
Speaker 12: they won't have the money to get married or have kids.
Speaker 12: The nine to nine six culture, which is the nine
Speaker 12: nine six is a jack Ma term for ali baba,
Speaker 12: and it basically needs nine am to nine pm, six
Speaker 12: days a week. The idea that you're you don't have
Speaker 12: a life outside of work, that attitude has really crushed
Speaker 12: the idea that you can start a family in China,
Speaker 12: and so there's all this frustration and kind of despondence
Speaker 12: from from normal Chinese people, especially to Chinese youth. A
Speaker 12: lot of them have moved back in with their parents.
Speaker 12: They're young Chinese people pretending to have a job online
Speaker 12: just so that their relatives don't bother them. But it's fake.
Speaker 12: You know, they take a picture at a desk and
Speaker 12: they pretend they're at work and they're unemployed. So it's
Speaker 12: not it's not a great sentiment over there. And I
Speaker 12: think with the with the incoming tariffs and all of that,
Speaker 12: you know a lot of people here are feeling that,
Speaker 12: you know, we're going to be affected so badly, And
Speaker 12: the attitude of the Chinese government is that, you know,
Speaker 12: they're they've survived three thousand years, their culture is so old,
Speaker 12: we'll get through the tariffs. But the general sentiment among
Speaker 12: young Chinese is that you know, they're they've.
Speaker 1: Already lost you know, I I sound it sounds to
Speaker 1: me like you can draw quite a few parallels with
Speaker 1: happened with young people here in the United States.
Speaker 12: Francis absolutely to an extreme extent, because at least we
Speaker 12: can complain about it, right, and everyone knows. Everyone knows
Speaker 12: how millennials feel about home ownership and health insurance and
Speaker 12: building families and all that, because we're on you know, Instagram,
Speaker 12: complaining all the time on Twitter. You can't do that
Speaker 12: in China. If you say the wrong thing on Levo,
Speaker 12: you're getting banned. Your social credit score goes down, and
Speaker 12: if it goes down too low, you can't even take
Speaker 12: a train. So they are also silent, and that repression
Speaker 12: adds to the general feeling of hopelessness that that doesn't
Speaker 12: really serve the.
Speaker 1: Government well, and that seems to be a natural human reaction.
Speaker 1: If everything you say is scrutinized by your lords and
Speaker 1: masters within the Chinese Communist Party and you do have
Speaker 1: a social credit score, that concept in and of itself
Speaker 1: has got to be disheartening. And I would imagine induces
Speaker 1: perhaps some rebellion or anger within the Chinese people, absolutely,
Speaker 1: and we.
Speaker 12: Saw a lot of that in twenty twenty two, in
Speaker 12: late twenty twenty two where we saw these protests, and
Speaker 12: that was partly because of the COVID lockdowns where you know,
Speaker 12: we had it pretty bad here in twenty twenty We
Speaker 12: had some lockdowns in the Northeast and you know in
Speaker 12: the Blue States, but in China it was you know,
Speaker 12: they were welding people shut in their homes. They the
Speaker 12: police did not let you out. If you didn't have food,
Speaker 12: you just starved in parts of China in your house.
Speaker 12: So it was very, very repressive, and that triggered a
Speaker 12: wave of protests, and the most impressive ones to me
Speaker 12: were the white paper protests, where young Chinese people would
Speaker 12: go out and they would hold up protest signs, but
Speaker 12: they were completely blank because they knew if they said anything,
Speaker 12: it doesn't matter what was on the sign, they would
Speaker 12: be arrested for it. So they were daring police to
Speaker 12: arrest them for holding up a blank protest signs, and
Speaker 12: the police did arrest them. A lot of those people
Speaker 12: were disappeared into the justice system.
Speaker 2: We don't know what happened to them.
Speaker 12: There was a young Chinese, I think a college student
Speaker 12: who was arrested for reciting Shakespeare. How I compare each
Speaker 12: to a Summer's Day, which is inherently a political but
Speaker 12: you know, if you're celebrating Western literature in China, that's
Speaker 12: already an active rebellion. So there was a lot of
Speaker 12: that and that was crushed very violently. And so we
Speaker 12: haven't seen a massive wave of protests like that. But
Speaker 12: just last week in Changdu, someone posted a huge banner
Speaker 12: across a bridge that said, you know, democracy is the
Speaker 12: only answer. So people are still protesting. People are still
Speaker 12: very actively protesting. It's just heavily repressed and a lot
Speaker 12: of the bravest people have already been shepherded into prisons.
Speaker 12: So you know that leadership vacuum is going to hurt
Speaker 12: a protest movement.
Speaker 1: So because of the you know, everything's electronic social media.
Speaker 1: Of course, if you communicate on it, you're going to
Speaker 1: be tracked and monitored. There's going to be a permanent
Speaker 1: record of it. The Chinese Communist Party is looking at
Speaker 1: everything that you're doing. This this I'm reminding you of
Speaker 1: ten Square because I remember that, like it was yesterday,
Speaker 1: there was this sort of hope built up that that
Speaker 1: was going to lead them to some freedom and some democracy.
Speaker 1: Obviously it was crushed, but that was pre social media.
Speaker 1: That was an organic, organized thing, and there is there
Speaker 1: a potential for that type of thing to crop up again.
Speaker 1: But I mean, you know, an underground movement like people
Speaker 1: actually you know, communicating just by voice as opposed to electronically,
Speaker 1: that they can foment some sort of wider rebellion against
Speaker 1: this repression.
Speaker 12: I think that is happening to a certain extent. But
Speaker 12: from a religious perspective, I think the Christian underground in
Speaker 12: China's massive people who go to house churches because in
Speaker 12: China Christianity is legal. There are two Christian churches that
Speaker 12: are legal, the Chinese Catholic Church, which is severed from
Speaker 12: the Vatican, and then the three self Patriotic Church, which
Speaker 12: is basically Communist Party Protestantism. And if you go into
Speaker 12: those churches, they don't even talk about Jesus. So the
Speaker 12: actual Christians don't go to those churches. They pray at home,
Speaker 12: which would be legal, and a lot of those people
Speaker 12: have had their home bulldoze have been again disappeared into
Speaker 12: the justice system. But that Christian underground that is very
Speaker 12: you know, whispered. The meetings are quiet, they pray together
Speaker 12: in silence. That has been growing significantly. There are estimates
Speaker 12: that there are as many as one hundred million Christians
Speaker 12: in China. So I think that is definitely a big
Speaker 12: part of it. The protest movement, that was the secular
Speaker 12: anti lockdown movement that still exists, but that has been
Speaker 12: crushed by hopelessness. And there's this also this trend among
Speaker 12: millennials and gen z called lying flat, which essentially means,
Speaker 12: you know, don't have any career ambition, don't get married,
Speaker 12: don't have kids, do nothing because anything you do serves
Speaker 12: the party.
Speaker 4: And that.
Speaker 12: That definitely hurts the protest attitude, right. That feeds into
Speaker 12: this idea that there's no hope in doing anything. America
Speaker 12: is going to win the Cold War, and there's no
Speaker 12: point in trying to fix our government. So that's that's
Speaker 12: a big hurdle to getting people into an active organization
Speaker 12: to protest and try to get changed.
Speaker 1: But I'm reminded of Atlas Shrug. You know, if you
Speaker 1: just don't participate and refuse to, you know, provide your
Speaker 1: labor and your brilliance to the Chinese Communist Party and
Speaker 1: people just sort of quit. If that movement were to
Speaker 1: get large enough that kind have a profound.
Speaker 12: Impact, Yes, and it has. You know, if you look
Speaker 12: at the population trends in China, the birth rate is collapsing. Yeah,
Speaker 12: no one wants to have kids. And not only does
Speaker 12: does no one want to have kids, there aren't enough
Speaker 12: women of child bearing age because of the one child's
Speaker 12: pop So it's thirty five million more men than women.
Speaker 12: So even if they wanted to, they can't. But they
Speaker 12: don't want to, and so a generation from now, that
Speaker 12: workforce is going to look very weak unless they start
Speaker 12: mass you know, importing migrants, and China is not going
Speaker 12: to do that, so that is going to have a
Speaker 12: tremendous negative effect on the economy. And the economy is
Speaker 12: basically the only thing holding up party right now.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 1: And part of this makes me think of the Malethusians
Speaker 1: and the globalists of the world. Who thinks the world's
Speaker 1: population is too big anyway, So this is all playing
Speaker 1: into it. You know, Japan's shrinking rapidly every day, China's
Speaker 1: population isn't replacing itself, and the same thing here in
Speaker 1: the United States and in Europe, it's almost like ultimately,
Speaker 1: you know, we're leading ourselves down the path of well
Speaker 1: not keeping the population up.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and I think, you know, we're in a better position.
Speaker 12: And I think a country, for example, like South Korea,
Speaker 12: which has the world's lowest birth rate, because we are
Speaker 12: spiritually open, because you can have a religion in these countries,
Speaker 12: I think that fuels the desire to start families, especially
Speaker 12: larger families. In China, the trend that you have is
Speaker 12: that basically the only people who want to have families
Speaker 12: are the weaker Muslims in East Cirkustan, and they are
Speaker 12: undergoing genocide. Chinese communists are going village by village, serializing
Speaker 12: the entire female population of leaguer villages, so the only
Speaker 12: people that want to have kids are being sterilized. And
Speaker 12: then the Han population, which is despondent after seventy years
Speaker 12: of communism, seventy five years, they don't want kids, and
Speaker 12: you know, if they have because this communist government is
Speaker 12: also Han supremacists, the ethnic con group which is the
Speaker 12: majority population of China, it doesn't really serve them that
Speaker 12: There's also a trend of Chinese men looking for Indian
Speaker 12: or Pakistani wives because that doesn't really first the idea
Speaker 12: of their supremacy right, so it is a huge problem.
Speaker 12: They've been trying to pressure women into having babies the
Speaker 12: Communist Party now called women and asks them about their
Speaker 12: cycles and asks them if their plan and have families,
Speaker 12: which is incredibly intrusive and having the opposite effect of
Speaker 12: what they want. So the desperations kicking in and it's
Speaker 12: going to be interesting to see how they.
