Happy Monday, Well a 3 00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:31.800 vacation and that's the way. 4 00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:31.160 The news going. 5 00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:34.399 Yes, indeed things back to square. Uh, well, things back 6 00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:36.200 to normal, I guess. I see Joe Strecker and the 7 00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:38.679 executive producer Booth missed having him around when I was here. 8 00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:40.320 I got a nice week off and I spend the 9 00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:43.159 time with my family and getting a lot of chores done. 10 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.079 And you know, kind of said day this morning post 11 00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:47.799 Prance has died, and just heard the top of the 12 00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.079 hour news. Not a whole lot of information out other 13 00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:52.359 than obviously I think we all knew he was very, 14 00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:56.039 very sick, but timing mean he made it through another 15 00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:58.159 Easter anyway, Hope you in a nice easter as well. 16 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.479 It was wonderful time at our house and got to 17 00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:03.640 celebrate my daughter's birthday which is today, Happy birthday to Lauren. 18 00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:08.719 But an enjoyable Easter celebration at the Thomas House yesterday. 19 00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.519 So thank you to my mom and to my wife 20 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.760 for putting a whole dinner together. Was fantastic And feel 21 00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.760 free to call five on three seven eight hundred and 22 00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:19.959 eight two three taco with Town five fifty. If you 23 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.239 have an AT and T phone and you got a 24 00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.200 comment about the pope passing away, I guess jd Vance 25 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.799 got a visit in with him before he passed. If 26 00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:34.200 there's any connection to there, sorry, coming up the fifty 27 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:36.239 five Cassey Morning Show. If it'd be President Kim Kober 28 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:41.159 returned seven o five Saturday protests downtown blocking the streets? 29 00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:44.280 Question did they have a permit? Mare? I have to 30 00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:47.640 have provoll was there apparently riling the crowd up according 31 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.200 to the notes I've got and violence, violence on the banks? 32 00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:58.000 Are you safe downtown at night? Care's a rather interesting 33 00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:00.680 article here than we believe, is that the inquire of 34 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:07.040 the interview the mayoral candidates about safety and youthful well 35 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:14.400 youth crime. It's kind of an amazing summary after purvol 36 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:16.879 all these different programs that exist out there than just 37 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:19.159 one after another after another after another. We're gonna do this, 38 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:20.800 we're gonna do this, we funded this, we've founded this, 39 00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.560 we've done and things just seem to get worse. Corey 40 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.360 Bowman rather abbreviated account of what he thinks need to 41 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.280 be done, encouraging the model and importance of the family 42 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:34.360 amen number one to that. I think the erosion of 43 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.479 the family structure is probably the primary cause of all 44 00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.719 the problems we have in society, not all of them, 45 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.520 but we had caring parents at home who cared about 46 00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:46.840 where their children were and brought them up with some 47 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.680 measure or degree of ethics and morality, perhaps even religion. 48 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.240 I think the world will be a much better place 49 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.000 than it is right now. Anyhow, more on that later, 50 00:02:57.520 --> 00:02:59.759 but we'll talk with Ken Kober maybe a little bit 51 00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.919 about that. But the bank's violence, yes, it's a problem. 52 00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:06.360 Christopher Smith, Ivan seven twenty with the former Vice mayor 53 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.080 of the City of Cincinnati doing the Smith Event. I 54 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.240 always enjoy hearing from Christopher, and I hope you do too. 55 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:13.280 It is Monday, so nine times out of ten we 56 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.599 get money Monday with Brian James, and today is one 57 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.680 of nine times out of ten. We'll talk to stock 58 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:21.439 market volatility. We'll talk about should you look at your 59 00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:28.759 four one gay no, is this a good buying opportunity? 60 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.439 And where are the feder rate's gonna go up or down? 61 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.199 Or sidewise? Plus empower you got bright Bart Francis Martel's 62 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:37.039 during the Power You seminar We're gonna get a few 63 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:40.199 of the details at eight forty from Francis Martel. So 64 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.719 there's your line up today tomorrow of course. Daniel Davis 65 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:47.080 deep dive. There's supposed to be a ceasefire between Ukraine 66 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.719 and Russia, and both sides were accusing each other of 67 00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.400 violating it or something, and Donald Trump looking to pull 68 00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:55.039 the plug in the whole thing. Listen, if you guys 69 00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:57.039 don't sit down and start talking peace, I'm just done 70 00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:58.840 with it. I'm washing my hands of the whole matter. 71 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:05.080 Leave it to Europe anyway. In sofar as the Pope passing, 72 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:10.360 the most Reverend Dennis Schner, the Archbishop Ameritas Cincinnati, had 73 00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.080 this to say, please join me in praying for the 74 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.439 repose of the soul of our beloved Pope Francis, who 75 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.519 was the Vicar of Christ, the successor of Saint Peter, 76 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:22.040 and a faithful shepherd of Jesus or Christ Church longbi 77 00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:24.720 remembered for his great compassion for the elderly, the sick, 78 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.319 the unborn, the persecuted, and all those on the margins 79 00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.000 of society. Continuously reminded us that we are the stewards 80 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.040 of God's creation and not its master, and he was 81 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:38.000 an unwavering champion of world peace, after a life dedicated 82 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.800 to proclaiming the good news of our Lord's saving love 83 00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:44.519 for us, that Pope Francis now inherit the reward of 84 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:48.639 eternal rest with God. He was the first pope from 85 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:52.800 the Southern Hemisphere, the first pope from the Americas, and 86 00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:56.399 the first non European elected in almost thirteen hundred years. 87 00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.399 Also the two hundred and sixty fifth successor of Saint Peter. 88 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.480 So there's a couple of facts about Pope, whether or 89 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:05.680 not you knew about him or not. And in other 90 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:10.560 related news, perhaps unrelated, it was Easter yesterday, and the 91 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:13.600 insanity in the world is never ceases to amaze me. 92 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:21.600 You know, it's the It's it's Christianity's big day. I mean, 93 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.160 you got Easter and Christmas, but I think Easter probably 94 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.759 a little bit to higher up in the importance within 95 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:32.920 the Christian faith. So it was with disgust I read this. 96 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.360 I feel like I'm in the stack of stupid early 97 00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:42.079 this morning, and people's condemnation and mocking of religion just 98 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.079 for the sake of mocking it, I find horrific and disgusting. 99 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:52.439 Let people live their own lives, but to mock people 100 00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:56.959 of faith merely, I think, just for the obscene joy 101 00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:03.040 and pleasure that those folks that mock get from mocking Christians. 102 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.199 So of course we're in San Francisco for this one. 103 00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:13.839 A San Francisco based drag queen group apparently facing some 104 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:19.759 backlash after its Easter performance Mocking Jesus and Christianity was 105 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:26.319 actually marketed to children. Described as a controversial show you'd 106 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:30.240 say held over the weekend. Future performances, some critics argue 107 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:34.160 crossed the line making light of sacred Christian symbols and belief. 108 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.240 Group has defended its performance in spite of the outrage 109 00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:41.959 expressed by many Christians and just regular folks who think 110 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.319 it's really insane that you, I mean, you just choose 111 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.399 and to mock something for the sake of mocking it. 112 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:53.360 They claim it was meant to be an inclusive celebration 113 00:06:53.519 --> 00:07:01.120 of creativity and self expression. Sisters of Perpetual Will Indulgence 114 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.879 described as a self professed excuse me, order of queer 115 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:10.279 and trans nuns. That's in quotes, I guess that's at 116 00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:16.680 their website. Host of this year's event called No Easter 117 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:24.879 Without the Tea event described as meaning to honor transgenderism, 118 00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:30.040 and features children's Easter egg hunt and costume contest, encouraging 119 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:34.759 people to come dressed in drag as quote Hunky Jesus 120 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:46.199 and Foxy Mary. Events. Promotional poster featured a tattooed depiction 121 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.839 of Jesus is in quotes because you know you might 122 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:52.199 disagree that it's actually depiction of Jesus. I'll let you 123 00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:56.560 decide that anyway. A tattooed depiction of Jesus surrounded by 124 00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:01.279 men in drag. Apparently this the event happens every year. 125 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.360 Photos from past events show men dressed as Jesus wearing 126 00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:11.839 high heels dresses, holding signs reading can I get a 127 00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:16.240 gay men? And House hau is House of Jesus. The 128 00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:21.000 group encouraged children to attend the event, yet posted a 129 00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:24.600 warning advising parents that quote some may find the latter 130 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:29.360 portion of the show inappropriate for young children clothes quote 131 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:37.840 you think. Political director Logan Church from Catholic Vote slam 132 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.440 the group's description of the event as art, calling it 133 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:45.039 instead bigotry. Dressed in costume, urging Christians to push back 134 00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:47.559 against the mockery of their own faith, dating while we 135 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.440 live in a country that defends free speech. That doesn't 136 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.440 mean Christians are required to sit silently while our faith 137 00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:59.360 is ridiculed. But you know, you just got to question 138 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:05.000 the motivation of these people. What is the point? Why 139 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:10.960 do you feel compelled to mock something that people hold 140 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:15.720 near and dear to their heart, that brings them joy 141 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:21.320 in life, that gives them a hope beyond the nastiness 142 00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:24.240 and the squalor, the war, pestilence, and famine we face 143 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.080 in this world every day, all the bad news. You 144 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:30.279 know what, there's great Christians out there who still feel uplifted. 145 00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.320 They have something perhaps to look forward to. Their lives 146 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.159 are in Christ's hands and they get joy from it, 147 00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:45.320 and you want to mock them for it. I just 148 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:52.759 don't get it. These people are vile and rather disgusting. 149 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.000 I could sum it up in those a couple of words, 150 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:59.960 vile and disgusting. All in terms of the trans world. 151 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.759 You've got a couple other stories here, and you know 152 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.080 they're actually they're actually crazy. Let me think this this 153 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:06.840 next story again. I feel like I'm in the stack. 154 00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:09.639 Is stupid this morning early, but it is the five 155 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:12.080 o'clock hour.

Okay, backcrap and sanity continues. 189 00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:52.679 Go ahead and you can make some heads or tails 190 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:55.720 out of this. Moving away from the leftist celebrating Easter 191 00:11:55.840 --> 00:12:01.360 with a drag queen fiend event mocking Christians, we pivot 192 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:05.440 over across the pond to London, where there was an 193 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:11.799 interesting United Kingdom Supreme Court case. Guess what In the UK? 194 00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:15.240 Men are men, women are women. They only have two 195 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:17.960 genders and that makes perfect sense according to the court 196 00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:24.000 unanimous decision. Of course, that angers the certain members of 197 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:30.279 the LGBTQ crowd, notably the t where we had thousands 198 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:34.159 of LGBTQ plus activists marching in London over the weekend, 199 00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:38.320 chanting and support for both trans rides and go ahead. 200 00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:45.320 Explain this to me Palestine, claiming it's part of the 201 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:48.039 same struggle. The plight of the Palestinians is the same 202 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.559 as the plight of I guess certain members within the 203 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:56.159 category of LGBTQ plus. One speaker held in the Palestinian 204 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:59.960 cause as quote the strongest shining light in a share 205 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:07.080 fight for liberation. Just because you say it doesn't mean 206 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:11.519 it makes sense, and it was Saturday described as radical 207 00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:14.919 demonstrators rallied in Parliament Square in opposition to the aforementioned 208 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:19.000 British Supreme Court ruling affirming sex as a biologically binary 209 00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:23.240 also barring men who identifies women from accessing women only spaces. 210 00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:25.080 In other words, stay out of the women's restroom. You're 211 00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:27.120 a guy. I don't care what you think you are. 212 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:35.000 They vandalize statues outside Parliament, including Suffragette and Millicent Faucet 213 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:41.639 for reasons unknown to me. Crowds waving signs reading trans 214 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.080 women are real women, not a court of the unit 215 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:48.360 UK Supreme Court, They're not Biology is not binary. Actually 216 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:56.519 it is, as the UK Supreme Court Palestinian flags also flying. 217 00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:01.159 One speaker to claring quote, we need to connect with 218 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.080 the Palestine movement, the strongest shining light in this dark 219 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:08.200 time that says no to hopelessness, no to cynicism, no 220 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:14.679 to nihilism, and says yes to justice, freedom and liberation. Okay. 221 00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:24.720 One protester shouting one struggle, one fight Palestine trans writes 222 00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:39.159 you getting all this. Of course, the slogan drawing ridicule 223 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:43.960 given the brutal repression of LGBTQ individuals and by Islamist regimes, 224 00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:49.399 especially Gaza's mas led government. Homosexuality remains criminalized in many 225 00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:53.840 parts of the Middle East. Hamas also enforced strict Sharia 226 00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:57.039 based laws in Gaza, where if you are a member 227 00:14:57.080 --> 00:15:01.639 of the LGBTQ plus a clus, sure you can be 228 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:07.919 imprisoned or chucked off of a building. One author and 229 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:11.360 described as podcaster a viva klompus and I don't know 230 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.120 who that person is, but astutely observed the ignorance is astounding. 231 00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:22.919 Former IDF spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner said the chant 232 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.879 reflects wilful ignorance or denial of the lived experiences of 233 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:31.960 the LGBTQ plus Palestinians who flee to Israel seeking asylum 234 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:35.120 of protection. Why because you're allowed to live your life 235 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:38.840 in Israel freedom from prose persecution if you're in that 236 00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:49.879 community demonstration apparently growing your support for several leftist activists, 237 00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:55.279 including an organization called Flint Front for the Liberation of Intersex, 238 00:15:55.440 --> 00:16:02.559 non Binary and Transgender People splitters as distinct from the 239 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:08.480 other organizations Transactual and one more trans kids deserve better 240 00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:10.279 initial cap on all those. 241 00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:17.120 I just. 242 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:29.279 Let's see here. New Tolerance campaign offered a million dollars 243 00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:33.960 to support the LGBTQ plus Pride parade in Palestinian controlled territories. 244 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:34.919 How's that going to go? 245 00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:35.200 Over? 246 00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:39.320 Challenge aim to highlight the differences in the treatment of 247 00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:43.240 LGBTQ plus individuals in Israel and Palestinian territories, noting that 248 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:45.720 there is a clash of value between Israel and most 249 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:49.679 of the Arab world. The president former log Cabin Republicans 250 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:53.559 president Gregory t Angelo described the initiative as a wake 251 00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:56.679 up call to those identifying with the Queers for Palestine 252 00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:03.000 or Gaze for Gazam movements, two other organizations. According to NTC, 253 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:05.279 the event could be a crucial step in advancing the 254 00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:08.599 rights there in the Arab world, where homosexuality again remains 255 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:16.160 criminalized in many countries. In Israel, gay individuals can live openly. 256 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.519 NTC points out many Arab nations where such freedoms are 257 00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:23.160 heavily restricted or outlawed. The group argues that the challenge 258 00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:27.960 could spark greater tolerance in liberalization in the region, potentially 259 00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:36.960 encouraging broader peace initiatives. However, here's the sailing point, folks, 260 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:40.400 the feasibility of such a parade in Gaza or the 261 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:46.400 West Bank, both under Palestinian rule, remains virtually impossible right 262 00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:54.640 because it's criminalized. There go ahead, stage an organization, stage 263 00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:59.319 of protests. God, these people are just bad crap insane. 264 00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:03.640 Five fifty five KRC detalk station. Let's get to some 265 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:06.880 local stories coming up next after mention QC kinetics. You 266 00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:09.759 live with pain, you don't have to live with pain.

So betting on youth 295 00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:44.599 sports is a thing. Uh parallels a CPO counter staff 296 00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:47.079 in reporting credit where credits due. This is news to me. 297 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:50.559 During public need between since a City Council and Board 298 00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:54.519 of Education council members, Scottie Johnson said illegal betting is 299 00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:58.000 taking place at youth sports events, claiming it acts as 300 00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:00.319 a catalyst to some of the shootings that the city 301 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:04.720 has seen in the last year. You said during the 302 00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:07.839 meeting this past Wednesday, the parents are reportedly placing bets 303 00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.319 up to several thousand dollars on the outcomes of youth 304 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:15.720 football games. Johnson claimed, the reason we've seen some of 305 00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:17.720 the shots fired gun play at these events is the 306 00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:20.680 ridiculous amount of money that's being bet on these youth games. Community, 307 00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:26.359 stop betting on our children, so CPO asked. In Saint Police, 308 00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:30.319 we have a Lieutenant John Cunningham quoted as saying, well, 309 00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:34.599 betting has been identified that yes, yes, as bad as 310 00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:38.000 it may sound, this has been known to occur. I 311 00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:41.359 don't have a specific shooting incident to tie it back to, 312 00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:44.640 but this has no place a youth sporting event. Focus 313 00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:47.079 needs to be on supporting our youth and as they 314 00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:51.319 are involved in positive recreational activities, role models and mentors. Well, 315 00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:55.920 that's fine. They're guessing that shootings are related. They don't 316 00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:59.519 have any specific incident. They cite this October twenty fourth, 317 00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:03.400 twenty twenty four shooting. Twenty nine year old Lamont Ragan 318 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:05.599 arrest in connection with the shooting that wounded two people 319 00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:08.920 at a pee wee football game at Walnut Hills High School, 320 00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:12.279 now facing two counts of floris to assault and account 321 00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:15.440 of discharging a firearm at or near prohibited premises. But 322 00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:18.200 s CPO points out it's not clear if betting had 323 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:23.400 anything to do with this incident. I just find the 324 00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:28.200 preposters that people are betting on youth football games. I suppose, Joe, 325 00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:30.359 do you know anything about betting apps? Do the betting 326 00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:37.319 apps have like the line and not for high school football? Okay, 327 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:49.599 well that's good. Southwest Ohio Youth Football League's Artemis Palmer 328 00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:53.400 said he believes Johnson's comments a bit exaggerated. The only 329 00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:56.960 betting that happens on the field is uniforms, pizza, food 330 00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:59.039 or something, whatever it may be. And if people want 331 00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:01.960 to bet on kids games, you do that outside the 332 00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:07.319 lines and keep that drama outside the lines. Of course, 333 00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:11.240 everybody at the meeting involved in the meeting agreed that 334 00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:14.079 insuring safety of young athletes should remain a top priority 335 00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:18.000 with a new season around the corner. And then to that, 336 00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:20.519 which is people are just generally flying off the handle 337 00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:24.839 and the intolerant of other people's behavior. Speaking of that, 338 00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:27.440 we have a man arrested Tuesday after his shooting in 339 00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:29.759 a vehicle during a road rage incident happened on a 340 00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:33.039 nice seventy Ford and Thathiel Nathaniel Enderley arrested for firing 341 00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:35.519 a gunshot into the panel of a van occupied by 342 00:22:35.559 --> 00:22:39.160 two people, According to the Green Township Police, Emderley claimed 343 00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:42.440 the other driver was cutting him off as he was 344 00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:47.000 merging onto the interstate. Poor of the court records, Enderley 345 00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:52.039 said the driver was staring at him as if he 346 00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:56.039 had done something wrong. Well, that justifies a gunshot, doesn't. 347 00:22:57.119 --> 00:22:59.400 Neither person inside the van was hit by the gunshot 348 00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:02.480 was able to quickly locate the suspect vehicle and recover 349 00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:05.039 the handgun. Enderley remains in the Hamlin County Justice Center 350 00:23:05.079 --> 00:23:07.960 on a forty thousand dollars bond, facing charges of felonious 351 00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:11.119 assault and discharging a firearm well he looked at me 352 00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:16.720 sideways and a father now facing charges after a five 353 00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:19.680 year old shot a seven month old and West Price 354 00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:22.400 Hill happened Saturday night.

When he left the room to use 361 00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:45.920 the bathroom, one of the older children handled the weapon, 362 00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:48.240 causing it to fire and hit the younger of the 363 00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:51.279 seven month old, causing serious physical harm to her in 364 00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:53.799 a substantial risk of harm to the other children.

Trump Orange man, 597 00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:31.079 Trump doesn't when you're gonna gotten protested, take it to 598 00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:37.719 the streets. Overwhelming majority of Americans want the immigration situation resolve. 599 00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:40.480 They want deportations, and they're happy to see the borders closed. 600 00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:43.039 And in fact, border crossings are basically ground to a 601 00:38:43.239 --> 00:38:46.159 literal hauled thanks to Donald Trump, policies which you are 602 00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:51.000 making everybody pretty happy.

It's like, no, I don't know, I don't uh. 614 00:39:25.880 --> 00:39:27.960 Is it a good buying opportunity going on right now? 615 00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:30.079 And we'll talk about which direction the interest rates are 616 00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:32.880 going with the FED plus empower used Bright Bart Francis 617 00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:36.280 Martel doing his seminar, So we'll hear from Francis Martel 618 00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:38.639 about his empower use seminar. That'll take place at eight 619 00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:41.599 forty five three seven fifty five hundred, eight hundred and 620 00:39:41.599 --> 00:39:44.400 eight to two three talk and let's talk a little 621 00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:50.440 bit about meyl candidates, Aftab Parvoll, so uh inquire Scott 622 00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:52.840 Wartman reporting and I talk with Scott because he took 623 00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:55.079 over for Sharon Coolidge. You know he's doing reporting on 624 00:39:55.239 --> 00:39:59.679 of course since I City Council headlines how will Cincinnati 625 00:39:59.719 --> 00:40:05.599 mayor hopeful tackle youth crime? And I just got it 626 00:40:06.039 --> 00:40:09.480 was an interesting observation because Corey Bowman was asked, but 627 00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:12.400 so is mayor Aftab par Ball and Brian Frank who 628 00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:15.880 is the other guy that's running, and what their perception 629 00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:17.960 is on crime youth crime? 630 00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:19.840 Nice. 631 00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:21.400 I'll give you the quote from AF to have par 632 00:40:21.519 --> 00:40:23.519 Ball and it just as it stands as a stark 633 00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:30.119 contrast to Corey Bauman. Here's a have to have. Youth 634 00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:32.480 violence is one of the most difficult problems to address 635 00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:34.280 and one of the most painful. Too many victims of 636 00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:37.159 violent crimes our children, and far too many perpetrators of 637 00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:40.480 violent crime our children. I'm proud that we've seen a 638 00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:42.760 thirty five percent. I guess he meant drop. There's no 639 00:40:42.840 --> 00:40:45.400 word drop in there, so the consent doesn't really make 640 00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:48.800 any sense as reported, But youth violence over the single 641 00:40:48.840 --> 00:40:50.719 year due to our strategies, but of course we have 642 00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:54.440 so much more work to do. I guess this is 643 00:40:54.480 --> 00:41:00.599 an organization Act for sincy, he said, Act for since 644 00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:04.079 He details all of our violence and intervention programs, including 645 00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:08.920 increasing police personnel through historic investments in recruit classes, relying 646 00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:11.679 on twenty first century police tactics, in partnership with the 647 00:41:11.719 --> 00:41:17.280 FBI and ATF, through the first Crime Gun Intelligence Center 648 00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:23.480 in Ohio, innovating with alternative response to crisis ARC, and 649 00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:27.760 deploying our CDRT, which is Civil Disturbance Response Team and 650 00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:31.880 SWAT officers every weekend throughout our entertainment districts in our 651 00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:37.719 urban core. He goes on. We've also enacted laws to 652 00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:39.639 keep guns out of the hands of kids, and we've 653 00:41:39.679 --> 00:41:42.159 sued the state to reclaim our authority to pass our 654 00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:44.639 own local gun laws, which you don't have. Sorry, sucks 655 00:41:44.639 --> 00:41:46.599 to be you go ahead and spin your wheels pursuing 656 00:41:46.639 --> 00:41:49.039 that one AFTAB. It's a waste of time. You've been 657 00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:52.199 down this road before. There's no home rule one size 658 00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:53.760 fits all in the state of Ohio when it comes 659 00:41:53.760 --> 00:41:57.679 to gun laws. Also, I didn't realize that there weren't 660 00:41:57.719 --> 00:41:59.599 already laws on the books. To keep guns out of 661 00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:04.320 the hands of children anyway, he went on, And because 662 00:42:04.360 --> 00:42:06.599 we know we can't police our way out of this problem, 663 00:42:06.639 --> 00:42:11.199 we created wreck at night programs. Initial cap On that 664 00:42:11.920 --> 00:42:14.199 made sure all of our city pools were open last summer, 665 00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:17.239 invested in additional one million dollars a year in youth employment, 666 00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:20.000 helped finance the roll Hill Boys and Girls Club, voted 667 00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:23.360 to create transformational new rec center in North otr On, 668 00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:25.320 one of the most violent streets in the city. Wiped 669 00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:28.239 out fifty million dollars worth of medical debt for fifty 670 00:42:28.320 --> 00:42:31.880 thousand Cincinnatians. I don't know how that's connected with youth violence, 671 00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:33.880 but he's just pulling things out of his finer here. 672 00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:38.360 Created a trauma informed violence prevention program with CINCINNY Children's Hospital. 673 00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:41.400 While there is no one size fits all strategy, we 674 00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:44.599 are deploying a comprehensive plan and it's working. Since taking off, 675 00:42:44.599 --> 00:42:47.039 his violent crime stats are down by double digits. Again. 676 00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:49.239 There's more work to do, but our strategy has us 677 00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:52.920 in the right track. Okay, well, I'm not quite sure 678 00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:56.599 if he's accurate on the crime stats. Twenty twenty three, 679 00:42:56.639 --> 00:43:00.559 accorded to Scott Wortman's reporting was sixty three juvenile shot. 680 00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:02.599 Maybe that's the most recent year for which we have data. 681 00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:08.679 We've got all these stories about arrests like down at 682 00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:15.159 the bus stop. Police Chief Thres Tresa Tiji made an 683 00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:19.079 unannounced visit in September the CINCINNT Public schools outlining violence 684 00:43:19.119 --> 00:43:23.000 happening at bus transit centers and the thirty arrests of 685 00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:25.159 youth that occurred since the first day of school at 686 00:43:25.159 --> 00:43:30.719 those centers. Then she asked the school district to intervene. Now, 687 00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:34.679 contrast all of that, all this government program this and 688 00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:38.119 throwing money at that, wiping out medical debt for Cincinnatians. 689 00:43:40.960 --> 00:43:47.119 Corey Bowman, we experienced this issue firsthand with our church 690 00:43:47.159 --> 00:43:50.559 and business in the West End. There's not a quick solution. 691 00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:55.639 It takes investment and a mindset change. This can be 692 00:43:55.719 --> 00:44:01.320 done by number one, encouraging the model and importance of 693 00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:06.440 the family. Well, amen to that, Joe, What would have 694 00:44:06.519 --> 00:44:09.400 happened to you if you had gotten engaged in a 695 00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:12.280 brawl at a bus stop? We have met your dad, 696 00:44:12.320 --> 00:44:14.039 take him to that, Okay, we'd have been patting you 697 00:44:14.079 --> 00:44:15.679 on the back saying, hey, it's all right, Joe, you 698 00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:17.480 go ahead and get involved in that kind of activity. 699 00:44:17.639 --> 00:44:18.920 If you were out in the middle of the night 700 00:44:19.039 --> 00:44:24.239 breaking things, committing acts of violence, I don't know, burning 701 00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:26.280 the tesla or something like that. With that, a sat 702 00:44:26.360 --> 00:44:34.440 well with your dad, No right. Number two, improve education 703 00:44:34.639 --> 00:44:39.800 outcomes and options. Yep, the building blocks for a future 704 00:44:39.960 --> 00:44:43.920 and freedom and the ability to feed oneself, not relying 705 00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:50.039 upon the state. Is based on education, invest in entry 706 00:44:50.119 --> 00:44:57.000 level jobs, he says. Number four, hold parents accountable. Oh 707 00:44:57.360 --> 00:45:02.199 and finally cpding he needs a no loitering ordinance and 708 00:45:02.239 --> 00:45:05.599 a youth curfew to enforce. Well, you know what, if 709 00:45:05.599 --> 00:45:07.760 you had parents at home that insisted on you being 710 00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:10.880 home at a certain hour like mine did, then you 711 00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:14.519 wouldn't need an ordinance on the books. You got your 712 00:45:14.519 --> 00:45:17.400 own curfew. Mom and Dad, you're home by midnight. If 713 00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:19.280 you don't hear from you and you're not in the 714 00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:23.400 door by midnight, you are in trouble. I always had 715 00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:24.920 a calling, a good permission. If I was going to 716 00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:28.360 be outpack, I'd go, oh my god, yes, And I 717 00:45:28.400 --> 00:45:31.480 had a respect and fear for my father. I love 718 00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:35.000 my dad, but at some level he scared the living 719 00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:36.280 hell out of me. You know, you didn't want to 720 00:45:36.320 --> 00:45:38.360 get out of line with dad. You didn't you didn't 721 00:45:38.400 --> 00:45:42.000 want to violate the house rules, and you certainly didn't 722 00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:44.639 want to make mom upset, because then you did incur 723 00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:47.280 the wrath of Dad. It really worked great that way. 724 00:45:49.880 --> 00:45:52.360 And while I was not perfect in any way, shape 725 00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:55.960 or form, the concern over parental you know, my parents 726 00:45:57.679 --> 00:45:59.920 and what might happen to me, I would be grounded 727 00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:02.800 that something would. There'll be repercussions, is the bottom line. 728 00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:04.760 I didn't want my freedoms and liberty is taken away, 729 00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:12.000 so I try to toe the line. That's the key. 730 00:46:12.199 --> 00:46:14.440 At least Corey Bowman said it out a loud even 731 00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:18.000 calling for an extra program or six or eight or whatever. 732 00:46:18.599 --> 00:46:21.239 There is no substitute for the nuclear family and caring 733 00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:24.679 and loving parents, and since that has been virtually eliminated 734 00:46:24.719 --> 00:46:27.119 in certain segments of society, I don't know if we 735 00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:30.719 can solve our way out of this problem. Can you 736 00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:35.360 program your way out of this problem? I don't know. 737 00:46:35.400 --> 00:46:45.280 Maybe you've got a better ideas. It's generational, but getting 738 00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:49.679 back to the fundamentals, getting back to, as Corey points out, 739 00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:55.280 encouraging the model and importance of family. What a great 740 00:46:55.360 --> 00:46:58.079 first step that might be, maybe we can start incorporating 741 00:46:58.119 --> 00:47:04.920 these fundamental, proven strategies for success back into society as 742 00:47:04.920 --> 00:47:06.840 opposed to just sort of wiping them mat as if 743 00:47:06.840 --> 00:47:09.199 they don't mean anything.

I saw this article 771 00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:31.400 from it was a New York Times article and sort 772 00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:34.119 of uh gateway pundit grab ahold of it and speaking 773 00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:37.199 of education, and uh, you know, went back to Corey Bowman, 774 00:48:38.719 --> 00:48:42.880 you know, the the nuclear family, improved education outcomes and 775 00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:45.440 options options of course is a great thing. Way to 776 00:48:45.440 --> 00:48:47.239 get yourself, get your kids out of this you know, 777 00:48:47.320 --> 00:48:50.480 woke environment where basically they're in Doctrine eighty in your children, 778 00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:53.400 and perhaps send them to a private school, perhaps a 779 00:48:53.559 --> 00:48:57.239 school that teaches you know, classical learning, you know phonics, 780 00:48:57.559 --> 00:49:00.000 you know, the old school, tried and true, proven method, 781 00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:07.039 recent new York Times article basically admits what conservative education 782 00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:10.719 reformers and frustrated parents have long been warning. Academic standards 783 00:49:10.760 --> 00:49:14.280 in America are collapsing, and sadly, it's the poor, working 784 00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:16.840 class and disadvantaged kids who are being hurt the most. 785 00:49:18.519 --> 00:49:20.719 Name of the article, the pandemic is not the only 786 00:49:20.840 --> 00:49:24.239 reason US students are losing ground, where they point out 787 00:49:25.039 --> 00:49:29.880 the nation's lowest performing students began falling behind years before COVID, 788 00:49:29.960 --> 00:49:36.039 right around twenty thirteen, coinciding with the decline of the 789 00:49:36.079 --> 00:49:38.760 Bush era and No Child Left Behind legislation and the 790 00:49:38.920 --> 00:49:46.599 rise of radical progressive dogma in public education, what critics 791 00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:51.559 called the Great Awokening. Anyway, the NAEP the National Assessment 792 00:49:51.599 --> 00:49:55.480 of Educational Progress data shows between two thousand and three 793 00:49:55.519 --> 00:49:59.920 to twenty thirteen, even the bottom ten percent of TI 794 00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:03.239 test takers, those most in need of education support, were 795 00:50:03.280 --> 00:50:07.480 slowly gaining ground, but around twenty thirteen at reversed. Since then, 796 00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:09.920 the lowest scores on math and reading tests in both 797 00:50:09.960 --> 00:50:13.440 fourth and eighth grade have steadily declined, with the drop 798 00:50:13.519 --> 00:50:17.320 apparently accelerating after twenty twenty. American Enterprise Institute calls it 799 00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:27.000 the five alarm fire about America's education process of progress. 800 00:50:28.199 --> 00:50:32.400 The bottom quartile disproportionately made up of students with disabilities, 801 00:50:32.400 --> 00:50:35.400 English language learners, and children from low income families who 802 00:50:35.440 --> 00:50:39.400 are bearing the brunt of the educational collapse. And this 803 00:50:39.480 --> 00:50:42.079 is where that progressive walk ideology kicks in and does 804 00:50:42.119 --> 00:50:52.239 absolutely no service to these poor children. Every year they 805 00:50:52.320 --> 00:50:55.679 lose ground, it becomes harder and harder to make up. 806 00:50:55.719 --> 00:50:58.800 And yet every year these walk educators will advance students 807 00:50:58.880 --> 00:51:01.000 even though they are ill equals to move on to 808 00:51:01.079 --> 00:51:04.679 the next grade. How can that possibly serve that child 809 00:51:04.840 --> 00:51:07.880 or society at large? What you have done is created 810 00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:09.679 a person who is going to be completely, in one 811 00:51:09.760 --> 00:51:12.559 hundred percent dependent upon some handout because they don't know 812 00:51:12.639 --> 00:51:14.360 how to read, they don't know how to perform basic 813 00:51:14.400 --> 00:51:20.920 mathematical skills. What are they going to do? We need 814 00:51:20.960 --> 00:51:23.159 to get back to the fundamentals. I mean that seems 815 00:51:23.159 --> 00:51:26.239 to me to an obvious solution to the problems. Since 816 00:51:26.280 --> 00:51:28.639 twenty thirteen, they write, public schools have been rapidly re 817 00:51:28.679 --> 00:51:33.719 engineered to prioritize equity over excellence, activism over academics, and 818 00:51:34.239 --> 00:51:44.920 lived experience over logic and literacy. Standardized testing, discipline, gifted programs. 819 00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:50.159 They're all gone. Why well, they're racist. That's why phonics 820 00:51:50.159 --> 00:51:53.239 and factual history have been replaced by feelings, narratives and 821 00:51:53.360 --> 00:52:00.239 DEI training sessions. Yeah, and don't you think think your 822 00:52:00.280 --> 00:52:04.519 children deserve better than that? And I go back to 823 00:52:04.519 --> 00:52:08.039 the whodea of that nuclear family. You know, I've said 824 00:52:08.039 --> 00:52:11.960 it a million times. The greatest gift my parents gave 825 00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:13.960 me after the gift of life, was a gift of education. 826 00:52:14.119 --> 00:52:19.280 They insisted on it. I guess they didn't want me 827 00:52:19.360 --> 00:52:21.480 laying around thirty five years old in the basement of 828 00:52:21.519 --> 00:52:24.840 the house, you know, living on mom and Dad's a 829 00:52:24.960 --> 00:52:30.880 large ess. The critical importance of an education, the ability 830 00:52:30.920 --> 00:52:33.440 to go out into the world and care and take 831 00:52:33.480 --> 00:52:36.719 care of yourself and at some point perhaps a family. 832 00:52:39.639 --> 00:52:43.199 But we stand by idly and allow this corruption in 833 00:52:43.280 --> 00:52:46.960 schools to continue. And think about the educators out there 834 00:52:47.000 --> 00:52:50.880 that don't want you to have a choice. How nefarious 835 00:52:51.000 --> 00:52:54.159 is that the teachers' unions do not want you to 836 00:52:54.320 --> 00:53:01.239 have a say in your children's education. I mean, just 837 00:53:01.239 --> 00:53:04.239 look at for what it actually is. They want your 838 00:53:04.320 --> 00:53:11.199 children in this environment where they have absolute control over 839 00:53:11.239 --> 00:53:15.079 the subject matter and what's being taught or as the score, 840 00:53:15.280 --> 00:53:20.920 the scores reflect not being taught. They got rid of 841 00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:25.599 everything that works in favor of whatever whatever's demonstrably not working. 842 00:53:27.599 --> 00:53:32.320 We need to demand more. And I think the biggest 843 00:53:32.320 --> 00:53:35.880 component of this is that family teachers can't do it all. 844 00:53:36.199 --> 00:53:38.920 You got an unruly kid, a kid who has no discipline, 845 00:53:38.920 --> 00:53:42.880 who has no ethics, no morals, no connection with with 846 00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:45.519 with love or anything like that, and you throw them 847 00:53:45.480 --> 00:53:47.000 into a classroom with a whole bunch of other kids 848 00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:49.639 that are like that. How can anyone learn, even if 849 00:53:49.679 --> 00:53:53.679 they're doing phonics and you know the classical education methods. 850 00:53:55.400 --> 00:53:55.800 I don't know. 851 00:53:56.880 --> 00:53:59.760 I'm struggling with this this morning. Maybe you have an 852 00:53:59.760 --> 00:54:02.800 ante seven four nine fifty five, eight hundred two three 853 00:54:02.840 --> 00:54:08.280 talk half fight fifty on AT and T phones. Foreign 854 00:54:08.280 --> 00:54:10.039 exchange gets your car, and foreign exchange gets your car 855 00:54:10.119 --> 00:54:12.159 fixed for less money. That's what it is all about, 856 00:54:12.159 --> 00:54:14.280 a foreign exchange. And I'm telling you, car repairs are 857 00:54:14.280 --> 00:54:16.239 gone through the roof. I don't know what this tariff 858 00:54:16.280 --> 00:54:18.440 situation is going to do with car repairs, but everything 859 00:54:18.440 --> 00:54:20.599 I've read suggested it's just going to get worse in 860 00:54:20.679 --> 00:54:23.400 terms of how expensive it is. So save money where 861 00:54:23.440 --> 00:54:25.840 you can you get a great mechanic when you go 862 00:54:25.840 --> 00:54:29.599 to Foreign Exchange.

And the 868 00:54:47.840 --> 00:54:50.000 best part about it is you save money compared to 869 00:54:50.039 --> 00:54:53.320 the dealer, and sometimes a substantial amount. I know I 870 00:54:53.400 --> 00:54:55.840 have many many times over the year. Safety, heap load 871 00:54:55.880 --> 00:54:58.320 of money.

He 899 00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:22.079 left the room to use the bathroom. One of the 900 00:56:22.079 --> 00:56:24.599 older children handled the weapon, causing it to fire and 901 00:56:24.679 --> 00:56:30.280 hitting the seven month old, causing serious physical harm to 902 00:56:30.320 --> 00:56:32.039 her and a substantial risk of harm to the other 903 00:56:32.119 --> 00:56:34.800 children infantaking the since at children's hospital.

Yeah, apparently they used 1104 01:07:29.440 --> 01:07:31.880 one hundred and eighty proof grain. Alcoholis fuel for the 1105 01:07:31.920 --> 01:07:34.719 torpedoes and World War two, so I guess the military, 1106 01:07:34.800 --> 01:07:38.199 recognizing that the sailors probably would drink it, added poisonous 1107 01:07:38.280 --> 01:07:42.519 additives including methanol and something called pink Lady. And they 1108 01:07:42.679 --> 01:07:46.280 say the UH submariners would attempt to filter out that 1109 01:07:47.480 --> 01:07:51.199 poisonous additives and then mix it with juice, but it 1110 01:07:51.320 --> 01:07:56.400 was still dangerous, be that desperate for drinking. Going back 1111 01:07:56.440 --> 01:07:58.719 to the schools and the decline of the education system 1112 01:07:58.760 --> 01:08:00.639 is an interesting op ed piece in The Wall Street 1113 01:08:00.679 --> 01:08:02.960 Turn because there is an important case being arguing in 1114 01:08:03.000 --> 01:08:05.840 front of the Supreme Court tomorrow and they're right. Does 1115 01:08:05.880 --> 01:08:08.440 the First Amendment give parents a right to opt out 1116 01:08:08.519 --> 01:08:14.039 of gender ideology at the local public elementary school? Why 1117 01:08:14.199 --> 01:08:17.119 are they teaching this stuff to elementary school kids? And 1118 01:08:17.199 --> 01:08:19.760 rather than focusing on the important things like reading, writing, 1119 01:08:19.800 --> 01:08:22.520 and arithmetic and reading that don't doesn't have such a 1120 01:08:22.600 --> 01:08:25.720 sensitive subject matter, they might interfere with people's own personal 1121 01:08:25.760 --> 01:08:29.239 feelings at home, religion or otherwise. Anyway, Supreme Court is 1122 01:08:29.279 --> 01:08:34.920 gonna consider the case tomorrow Mahamad versus Taylor, and they're right. 1123 01:08:35.000 --> 01:08:36.640 Consider two of the story books of the parents of 1124 01:08:36.680 --> 01:08:39.640 Montgomery County, Maryland, say the district added to its reading 1125 01:08:39.720 --> 01:08:44.760 curriculum and Why My Rainbow story about an autistic child 1126 01:08:44.840 --> 01:08:48.119 named Trinity who said, quote I need long hair, close 1127 01:08:48.199 --> 01:08:52.520 quote because quote I may transgender girl. It ends with 1128 01:08:52.560 --> 01:08:55.319 a surprise gift from Trinity's mom, a teal pink and 1129 01:08:55.439 --> 01:08:59.439 purple wig. Other book, Born Ready, about Penelope, who tells 1130 01:08:59.479 --> 01:09:02.880 her mother, I don't feel like a boy, I am 1131 01:09:03.359 --> 01:09:07.439 a boy. After this single discussion, the mother answers with 1132 01:09:07.600 --> 01:09:11.199 unquestioning affirmation, Yes, we will make a plan to tell 1133 01:09:11.319 --> 01:09:15.640 everyone we love. Teachers Montgomery County were also given guidance 1134 01:09:15.720 --> 01:09:19.199 to on replying to classroom questions and comments. One idea 1135 01:09:19.319 --> 01:09:23.960 was to disrupt that's in quote, students from either or 1136 01:09:24.479 --> 01:09:28.560 thinking about the sexes. If a child suggested it's weird 1137 01:09:28.640 --> 01:09:30.039 to say a girl can be a boy, then the 1138 01:09:30.079 --> 01:09:33.319 proposed response was to explain how this comment is hurtful 1139 01:09:33.760 --> 01:09:36.720 and that when each of us is born quote, people 1140 01:09:36.840 --> 01:09:42.399 make a guess about our gender close quote, we underwire 1141 01:09:42.640 --> 01:09:46.680 children are so dumb. Many families objected, including a Muslim, Catholic, 1142 01:09:46.800 --> 01:09:49.399 and Ukrainian Orthodox plaintiffs, and their telling of the facts. 1143 01:09:49.439 --> 01:09:51.399 They initially were offered a chance to opt out of 1144 01:09:51.439 --> 01:09:54.680 the story books, but the school district quickly reversed and 1145 01:09:54.800 --> 01:09:57.439 then said it wouldn't inform parents when the books were 1146 01:09:57.439 --> 01:10:03.119 going to be read in doctrination. Montgomery County replies that 1147 01:10:03.199 --> 01:10:06.880 it sought to supplement its reading program with LGBTQ characters 1148 01:10:06.920 --> 01:10:12.319 to quote reflect the diversity of its families. At first, 1149 01:10:12.399 --> 01:10:15.600 it tried to accommodate parent requests to opt the children 1150 01:10:15.640 --> 01:10:20.439 out of class, until that became unworkably disruptive because of 1151 01:10:20.880 --> 01:10:24.560 unsustainably high numbers of absent students. Maybe that's an indication 1152 01:10:24.640 --> 01:10:26.880 you shouldn't be teaching this crap in school because parents 1153 01:10:26.920 --> 01:10:30.199 don't want to talk there. They say, for the record, 1154 01:10:30.279 --> 01:10:32.800 my rainbow has since been removed, though the county doesn't 1155 01:10:32.800 --> 01:10:37.720 explain exactly why parents rely on the precedent Wisconsin versus 1156 01:10:37.800 --> 01:10:39.800 Yoder Fro nineteen seventy two, in which the court said 1157 01:10:39.880 --> 01:10:43.359 Amish families couldn't be made to send their children to 1158 01:10:43.399 --> 01:10:47.479 school past eighth grade. If the First Amendment protects dropping out, 1159 01:10:47.600 --> 01:10:51.159 how can it not cover the much narrower request by 1160 01:10:51.239 --> 01:10:56.119 parents wanting to merely skip discrete instruction that deliberately seeks 1161 01:10:56.159 --> 01:11:02.520 to confound their religious values. Montgomery County argues that if 1162 01:11:02.520 --> 01:11:04.960 families choose to attend public schools, they are quote not 1163 01:11:05.199 --> 01:11:09.239 cognizably coerced by virtue of their children's exposure there to 1164 01:11:09.399 --> 01:11:15.279 religiously objectionable ideas close quote. If the First Amendment gives 1165 01:11:15.319 --> 01:11:17.279 parents the right to pick and choose from the curriculum, 1166 01:11:17.319 --> 01:11:20.319 the county says that there's no discernible woman, and would 1167 01:11:20.560 --> 01:11:23.600 it would work the same in science or history classes. 1168 01:11:24.920 --> 01:11:31.079 No public schools simply cannot accommodate such expectations, as the 1169 01:11:31.479 --> 01:11:32.760 Montgomery County argument. 1170 01:11:33.720 --> 01:11:34.520 They can't. 1171 01:11:35.920 --> 01:11:39.359 Public schools accommodate a lot, including students who are disabled 1172 01:11:39.439 --> 01:11:41.640 or learning English as a second language. Part of living 1173 01:11:41.680 --> 01:11:44.840 in a pluralistic society is that some families might reject, say, 1174 01:11:45.359 --> 01:11:49.359 ideas on evolution, their children can still benefit from learning 1175 01:11:49.439 --> 01:11:52.439 algebra on Romeo and Juliet. How hard it will be 1176 01:11:52.520 --> 01:11:56.000 for Montgomery County schools to announce that Born Ready will 1177 01:11:56.000 --> 01:11:59.039 be read in three weeks and students can be excused, 1178 01:12:00.439 --> 01:12:03.079 or more fundamentally, why don't they just choose not to 1179 01:12:03.199 --> 01:12:08.560 read that book? This gets to the parent's second argument, 1180 01:12:08.600 --> 01:12:11.960 which is that the district's policy isn't neutral and that 1181 01:12:12.239 --> 01:12:15.279 ending of opt outs was targeted. Their brief sites a 1182 01:12:15.399 --> 01:12:17.880 member of the school board saying it would be an 1183 01:12:17.920 --> 01:12:22.640 impossible disruption if the teachers had to send out notices 1184 01:12:23.119 --> 01:12:27.479 so that white supremacists could opt out of civil rights content. 1185 01:12:29.239 --> 01:12:34.600 The implicit comparison is between religious families and racists. Now, 1186 01:12:34.640 --> 01:12:39.199 who needs a tolerance lesson amen editorial board, see this 1187 01:12:39.359 --> 01:12:45.039 is the problem. They will indoctrinate your kids. They will 1188 01:12:45.159 --> 01:12:48.399 not allow you to have your own religious objections or 1189 01:12:48.479 --> 01:12:53.479 even just logical and reasonable science based objections to pointing out. 1190 01:12:54.079 --> 01:12:56.920 Like the United Kingdom Court in an unanimous opinion pointed 1191 01:12:56.960 --> 01:13:05.319 out there are two genders period.

And these are happening more and more often. 1213 01:14:14.720 --> 01:14:17.159 I guess, mayor I have toab pervol was down there 1214 01:14:17.239 --> 01:14:22.039 joining in the crowd? Were there any you know, police 1215 01:14:22.159 --> 01:14:24.840 involved incidents or incidents where the police had to be involved? 1216 01:14:24.960 --> 01:14:27.520 Was it violent? What did they cause any property destruction? 1217 01:14:28.039 --> 01:14:29.479 And did they have a permit? 1218 01:14:29.720 --> 01:14:30.039 And one? 1219 01:14:30.239 --> 01:14:32.479 What was one necessary? I guess a lot of questions 1220 01:14:32.520 --> 01:14:34.880 to throw out you once can but sum it up 1221 01:14:34.920 --> 01:14:36.640 for my listeners of me, would you please. 1222 01:14:37.479 --> 01:14:41.039 Yeah, well sure, there were about forty policemen there that 1223 01:14:41.159 --> 01:14:43.520 were either on canceled off days. 1224 01:14:43.439 --> 01:14:45.960 So instead of being in the communities. 1225 01:14:45.399 --> 01:14:48.279 That they normally serve, they're down there, and they were 1226 01:14:48.319 --> 01:14:50.399 down there primarily because there was a large group of 1227 01:14:50.439 --> 01:14:53.439 people that were blocking streets and know they didn't have 1228 01:14:53.479 --> 01:14:53.840 a permit. 1229 01:14:53.960 --> 01:14:56.199 And that's that's the biggest exception that I take with this. 1230 01:14:56.359 --> 01:14:59.399 I support their First Amendment right to go protest and 1231 01:14:59.479 --> 01:15:02.159 be mad at the things that want to be mad at. However, 1232 01:15:02.600 --> 01:15:06.560 it costs the city roughly fifteen thousand dollars for police 1233 01:15:06.600 --> 01:15:09.960 protection that the city paid for when they're supposedly in 1234 01:15:10.039 --> 01:15:13.479 a crisis now where they're asking city departments to cut 1235 01:15:13.760 --> 01:15:14.880 five percent of their. 1236 01:15:14.840 --> 01:15:17.319 Budget and we're just giving them free service. 1237 01:15:17.920 --> 01:15:21.119 You know, Flying Pig doesn't get that, you know, Taste 1238 01:15:21.159 --> 01:15:23.840 the Cincinnati Octoberfest, all those events have to get permits 1239 01:15:23.880 --> 01:15:26.399 to close streets, and I just don't understand why this 1240 01:15:26.439 --> 01:15:27.239 group is any different. 1241 01:15:27.680 --> 01:15:30.000 Well, and I understand why the mayor of the City 1242 01:15:30.039 --> 01:15:33.239 of Cincinnati was there egging people on and participating in 1243 01:15:33.399 --> 01:15:36.239 street closures when he, more than anyone, should know that 1244 01:15:36.319 --> 01:15:38.600 a pertmit is required to do that, and he more 1245 01:15:38.600 --> 01:15:40.439 than anyone should know about the budget issues that we 1246 01:15:40.520 --> 01:15:44.199 are facing, and the idea that well, the taxpayer is 1247 01:15:44.279 --> 01:15:46.439 going to be paying for all this extra law enforcement. 1248 01:15:46.680 --> 01:15:47.399 It's absurd. 1249 01:15:48.880 --> 01:15:50.279 Yeah, completely agree. 1250 01:15:50.439 --> 01:15:53.359 I mean it's said I support their right to protest, 1251 01:15:53.880 --> 01:15:55.640 but they need to do it at their expense, not 1252 01:15:55.760 --> 01:15:57.640 the cities, not the taxpayers. So I'm sure there were 1253 01:15:57.680 --> 01:16:00.800 taxpayers that were paying for some of this that probably 1254 01:16:00.840 --> 01:16:01.199 didn't have. 1255 01:16:01.239 --> 01:16:04.560 The same views as them. And that's the biggest exception 1256 01:16:04.640 --> 01:16:06.079 I take to this, And then to have the mayor 1257 01:16:06.159 --> 01:16:08.640 there on top of it, where they're engaging in. 1258 01:16:08.720 --> 01:16:11.720 An unlawful activity by closing the streets without a permit 1259 01:16:11.920 --> 01:16:12.760 is unlawful. 1260 01:16:13.479 --> 01:16:16.479 Well, given that it is unlawful, seeing to me, it 1261 01:16:16.520 --> 01:16:18.840 might have been a nice thing to do, just to 1262 01:16:18.960 --> 01:16:20.840 arrest the mayor. I mean, if you're going to arrest 1263 01:16:20.920 --> 01:16:24.199 somebody and make an illustration of the unlawful reality of 1264 01:16:24.239 --> 01:16:26.279 what they're doing, why not just make it the figurehead 1265 01:16:26.279 --> 01:16:27.840 of the City of Cincinnatian government. 1266 01:16:29.880 --> 01:16:32.119 That would certainly make some headlines, wouldn't it. 1267 01:16:32.319 --> 01:16:34.439 Yeah, I thin'd be great, and they'd have to go 1268 01:16:34.520 --> 01:16:36.600 on and defend himself that. I mean, did anybody with 1269 01:16:36.640 --> 01:16:39.319 the police department reach out like Teresa Thiji or maybe 1270 01:16:39.319 --> 01:16:41.319 you know, just hey, listen, have to have what you're 1271 01:16:41.359 --> 01:16:43.560 doing here isn't lawful and you might want to address 1272 01:16:43.600 --> 01:16:45.119 that and do something about it. 1273 01:16:46.600 --> 01:16:50.319 Not that I'm aware of now. No, I don't suspect 1274 01:16:50.359 --> 01:16:51.079 that they're going to. 1275 01:16:52.800 --> 01:16:54.640 Well, then I suppose this type of thing is going 1276 01:16:54.720 --> 01:16:55.840 to continue, then, isn't it. 1277 01:16:57.079 --> 01:16:58.920 Oh, there's no doubt. I mean, they're going to continue 1278 01:16:58.920 --> 01:16:59.760 to have these protests. 1279 01:16:59.760 --> 01:17:02.720 There going to continue not to get permits, and they're 1280 01:17:02.720 --> 01:17:05.000 gonna have the police will be there to continue to 1281 01:17:05.079 --> 01:17:07.239 protect them at the taxpayer's expense. 1282 01:17:07.239 --> 01:17:10.560 Well, protecting them and engaging in activity. Is it criminal 1283 01:17:10.600 --> 01:17:12.640 activity to shut down the street without a permit? 1284 01:17:12.720 --> 01:17:13.199 I mean, is it? 1285 01:17:13.279 --> 01:17:13.479 Does it? 1286 01:17:13.600 --> 01:17:18.399 Rise to a level of a misdemeanor or a sitable offense. 1287 01:17:19.960 --> 01:17:22.960 One would argue, yes, it is absolutely illegal, especially if 1288 01:17:23.039 --> 01:17:24.680 you're the one that's trying to get around to this, 1289 01:17:24.840 --> 01:17:26.359 you know, through the city in a vehicle, and you 1290 01:17:26.439 --> 01:17:31.399 can't because there's large groups of people that are blocking traffic. Yes, 1291 01:17:31.479 --> 01:17:34.079 one would say that that is probably an arrestable offense. 1292 01:17:34.720 --> 01:17:40.000 Well, were the police officers instructed not to issue citations? 1293 01:17:41.520 --> 01:17:43.479 I would suspect that answer is also yes. 1294 01:17:43.600 --> 01:17:46.239 Absolutely, they were there to make sure that these folks 1295 01:17:46.279 --> 01:17:49.439 are safe, and that's exactly what occurred. 1296 01:17:49.760 --> 01:17:52.800 Safe in their unlawful conduct. Hmm. 1297 01:17:52.960 --> 01:17:53.279 Correct. 1298 01:17:54.239 --> 01:17:57.359 I'm having a difficult time reconciling those two positions there, Ken. 1299 01:17:59.079 --> 01:18:04.439 Yeah. Yeah, it's no different than they had a event Sunday. 1300 01:18:05.159 --> 01:18:10.640 Of course, yesterday was four twenty where there was encourage 1301 01:18:10.720 --> 01:18:14.640 to smoke marijuana in public. There are some officers that 1302 01:18:14.920 --> 01:18:16.680 raise the question as to how can we do this, 1303 01:18:17.359 --> 01:18:20.640 and the city law department has told the police department 1304 01:18:21.119 --> 01:18:25.039 that there is no expectation to enforce this law. So 1305 01:18:25.159 --> 01:18:27.800 that's where we're at with city government right now in Cincinnati. 1306 01:18:28.439 --> 01:18:30.680 So basically encouraging lawlessness. 1307 01:18:32.039 --> 01:18:35.439 Yeah, I mean, it's I've got the email that there 1308 01:18:35.520 --> 01:18:38.279 is no expectation to enforce this law. 1309 01:18:39.039 --> 01:18:40.640 Well that's a sorry state of affairs. 1310 01:18:40.720 --> 01:18:40.880 Ken. 1311 01:18:40.960 --> 01:18:44.319 I know you're just telling us the facts, but that really, 1312 01:18:44.439 --> 01:18:48.000 I mean, I can't feel anything but sort of almost 1313 01:18:48.119 --> 01:18:51.920 despair over that situation, especially noting that the mayor was 1314 01:18:52.279 --> 01:18:57.000 actively engaged in blocking the streets and protesting. I'm shocked, 1315 01:18:57.399 --> 01:19:01.359 I honestly can I'm shocked. It's the general consensus among 1316 01:19:01.399 --> 01:19:03.159 the police officers you talked to. I got to imagine 1317 01:19:03.159 --> 01:19:04.920 they're a little disappointed at themselves. 1318 01:19:06.119 --> 01:19:08.600 Well that's how I ended up, you know, finding out 1319 01:19:08.640 --> 01:19:11.479 about this is you know, I had some officers that 1320 01:19:11.520 --> 01:19:14.359 were there working that were kind of complaining that that 1321 01:19:14.560 --> 01:19:15.439 this just isn't right. 1322 01:19:15.640 --> 01:19:16.680 Why why is this? 1323 01:19:17.239 --> 01:19:19.199 Why are they allowed to do this? But if some 1324 01:19:19.319 --> 01:19:22.520 people have to get permits, some people don't. You know, 1325 01:19:23.159 --> 01:19:25.079 they're there to do a job, which is to protect 1326 01:19:25.159 --> 01:19:26.840 his people, which is what they did, and they did 1327 01:19:26.880 --> 01:19:30.199 it with the utmost professionalism. But the fact that that 1328 01:19:30.479 --> 01:19:34.119 they're allowed to do these things without a permit, that's 1329 01:19:34.359 --> 01:19:37.239 so that's the biggest issue that I just don't understand. 1330 01:19:37.399 --> 01:19:42.560 Well selective law enforcement. And I suppose one may argue 1331 01:19:42.680 --> 01:19:45.600 that if it wasn't this fifty one fifty group and 1332 01:19:45.640 --> 01:19:48.199 it was a bunch of you know, uh, picket fill 1333 01:19:48.239 --> 01:19:51.199 in the blank with any other type of activity organization. 1334 01:19:51.239 --> 01:19:53.560 I mean, pick an offensive one like, uh, you know, 1335 01:19:53.640 --> 01:19:56.560 maybe a clan member rally or something. I imagine a 1336 01:19:56.600 --> 01:19:58.279 whole lot of people will be rounded up and issued 1337 01:19:58.319 --> 01:20:01.840 citations for breaking the law. But because it's these leftists 1338 01:20:01.880 --> 01:20:04.880 that are backed by the mayor, then they get a 1339 01:20:04.960 --> 01:20:08.680 free pass. I know, I just it's it's disturbing, Kencobra, 1340 01:20:08.840 --> 01:20:12.439 it's just disturbing, also disturbing and pivoting over violence on 1341 01:20:12.520 --> 01:20:16.079 the Bank's question, should we stay the hell away from 1342 01:20:16.079 --> 01:20:18.239 the banks downtown at night, because I know it's kind 1343 01:20:18.239 --> 01:20:20.319 of it's obviously widely reported there's been a lot of 1344 01:20:20.359 --> 01:20:20.800 crime there. 1345 01:20:21.079 --> 01:20:21.239 Ken. 1346 01:20:22.279 --> 01:20:24.920 Yeah, it's getting harder and harder to tell people that 1347 01:20:25.039 --> 01:20:26.960 it's safe that they should go down there when you know, 1348 01:20:27.039 --> 01:20:30.039 these shootings are seem to be occurring every weekend there, 1349 01:20:31.479 --> 01:20:33.640 and it's a shame because it's such a neat area, 1350 01:20:33.720 --> 01:20:35.800 you know, and the reds are in town, you know, 1351 01:20:36.640 --> 01:20:39.039 But it gets to a certain point in the night. 1352 01:20:39.119 --> 01:20:42.399 And it's just it's overrun with criminals. That's that's the 1353 01:20:42.439 --> 01:20:45.159 shame because it is a really really neat place down there. Yeah, 1354 01:20:45.239 --> 01:20:45.479 it is. 1355 01:20:46.680 --> 01:20:49.319 And you know, the more the word gets out about violence, 1356 01:20:49.399 --> 01:20:51.199 the fewer fewer people are gonna want to go downtown 1357 01:20:51.279 --> 01:20:54.039 and all these efforts to remake Cincinnati and try to 1358 01:20:54.159 --> 01:20:56.399 encourage people to want to invest in and live in 1359 01:20:56.479 --> 01:20:59.359 the city of Cincinnati that they can't go anywhere unless 1360 01:20:59.399 --> 01:21:01.920 you get a hand on crime and make it appear 1361 01:21:02.039 --> 01:21:04.680 at least that the city is a safe place to be. 1362 01:21:06.760 --> 01:21:09.960 Yeah, it's a shame because the people that are causing 1363 01:21:10.319 --> 01:21:14.479 these you know, violent encounters, they're not down there patronizing 1364 01:21:14.520 --> 01:21:15.479 these businesses anyway. 1365 01:21:15.560 --> 01:21:19.199 They're down there to try to start trouble and it 1366 01:21:19.359 --> 01:21:19.960 ruins it for. 1367 01:21:20.039 --> 01:21:23.560 The good people of Cincinnati that are that are there 1368 01:21:23.640 --> 01:21:27.279 to patronize these businesses to you know, go have a drink, 1369 01:21:27.359 --> 01:21:30.319 have dinner, and you know, they're end up getting caught 1370 01:21:30.359 --> 01:21:31.680 in the middle of a shooting. 1371 01:21:31.760 --> 01:21:34.159 And it's just it's it's ridiculous that it goes on. 1372 01:21:34.800 --> 01:21:38.439 Is this young people like youth violence maybe like miners 1373 01:21:38.560 --> 01:21:41.239 that are running around firearms or are these adults down 1374 01:21:41.239 --> 01:21:43.119 there running around with firearms? Is it a mixed bag 1375 01:21:43.199 --> 01:21:43.640 of everything. 1376 01:21:44.560 --> 01:21:47.720 Yeah, it's a mixed bag. There's no rhyme or reason. 1377 01:21:47.800 --> 01:21:51.239 They'll have thirty forty fifty kids running around there, You'll 1378 01:21:51.600 --> 01:21:54.560 creating chaos, and then you'll have people in their early 1379 01:21:54.640 --> 01:21:55.600 twenties shooting each other. 1380 01:21:56.199 --> 01:21:59.520 There's no real rhyme or reason. It's just for whatever reason, 1381 01:21:59.640 --> 01:22:01.000 people want to go down there. 1382 01:22:02.560 --> 01:22:02.880 He said. 1383 01:22:02.920 --> 01:22:06.840 These people aren't pitronizing these businesses, they're just waiting. 1384 01:22:06.600 --> 01:22:07.359 To find a victim. 1385 01:22:08.680 --> 01:22:12.520 Well, and without a substantial police presence and police officers 1386 01:22:12.560 --> 01:22:16.039 who have been instructed to issue citations otherwise round people 1387 01:22:16.159 --> 01:22:19.319 up and arrest them, I can only imagine it's going 1388 01:22:19.359 --> 01:22:20.199 to get worse Ken. 1389 01:22:21.159 --> 01:22:23.520 Yeah, and that's part of the problem is they're being 1390 01:22:23.560 --> 01:22:26.079 told they don't do anything, just stand there. I mean 1391 01:22:26.119 --> 01:22:29.720 we had somebody shot in front of a policeman last summer. 1392 01:22:29.800 --> 01:22:30.439 Oh my god. 1393 01:22:31.880 --> 01:22:32.960 So I mean having a. 1394 01:22:32.920 --> 01:22:35.640 Police presence there isn't necessarily going to deter it. When 1395 01:22:35.680 --> 01:22:38.479 you have people that are just held bent on being criminals. 1396 01:22:39.199 --> 01:22:43.079 Well and also noting full well that the justice system 1397 01:22:43.199 --> 01:22:44.920 is not going to hold them accountable even if they 1398 01:22:44.960 --> 01:22:47.039 are arrested. We've got a real problem with that. And 1399 01:22:47.079 --> 01:22:48.680 I think the word has gotten out It's like the 1400 01:22:48.800 --> 01:22:51.399 open border situation. When the whole world found out that 1401 01:22:51.399 --> 01:22:54.079 we weren't enforcing our own borders. The whole world showed 1402 01:22:54.119 --> 01:22:56.520 up and came into the United States. It's like, well, 1403 01:22:56.640 --> 01:22:58.920 if they aren't going to prosecute people to the fullest 1404 01:22:58.960 --> 01:23:02.319 extent of the law and make examples out of violent people, 1405 01:23:03.399 --> 01:23:05.319 then we may as well just go ahead and engage 1406 01:23:05.359 --> 01:23:07.439 in violence. Nobody's going to hold us accountable. 1407 01:23:08.720 --> 01:23:10.920 Yeah, it's a sad state of affairs right now in 1408 01:23:10.920 --> 01:23:12.199 Hamilton County, that's for sure. 1409 01:23:12.920 --> 01:23:13.079 Ken. 1410 01:23:13.199 --> 01:23:15.800 I wish you had more positive information for my listeners 1411 01:23:15.800 --> 01:23:17.279 than me, but it is what it is, and you've 1412 01:23:17.279 --> 01:23:19.520 obviously illustrated a problem we've got on our hands. And 1413 01:23:20.119 --> 01:23:22.720 let's start with the mayor. Next time, arrest the mayor. 1414 01:23:22.800 --> 01:23:23.960 We'll see what happens. How's that. 1415 01:23:25.399 --> 01:23:27.560 I think, like you said, that would make fantastic headlines. 1416 01:23:29.239 --> 01:23:31.680 I'll keep my fingers crossed that that happens. Ken, Thanks 1417 01:23:31.720 --> 01:23:33.279 to spend the time by listening to me today, and 1418 01:23:33.319 --> 01:23:34.920 God bless you and each and every one of this 1419 01:23:35.039 --> 01:23:39.800 insane police department officers.

Guys, I could, I could. I can 1451 01:25:20.279 --> 01:25:23.680 see your house, you know, the Thomas House is moving 1452 01:25:23.960 --> 01:25:26.920 in a beautiful way. Yeah, happy Easter to you and 1453 01:25:27.039 --> 01:25:28.279 Paul that and your whole family. 1454 01:25:28.479 --> 01:25:30.640 Well, thanks very much of that. Today's official day, she 1455 01:25:30.720 --> 01:25:33.000 turns twenty nine, but we did celebrate yesterday, and I'm 1456 01:25:33.000 --> 01:25:36.520 happy to report, Christopher, they have she and her fiance 1457 01:25:36.720 --> 01:25:39.600 have settled on a wedding date and that'll be next June. 1458 01:25:39.720 --> 01:25:42.159 I believe the eighth, but I probably have that one wrong. 1459 01:25:42.239 --> 01:25:44.520 But next June, so we finally he's got something on 1460 01:25:44.600 --> 01:25:46.479 the calendar, and we're really excited about that. 1461 01:25:48.000 --> 01:25:50.079 We're gonna have They're gonna have to bring the tissues 1462 01:25:50.119 --> 01:25:50.960 for Brian Thomas. 1463 01:25:51.079 --> 01:25:52.840 You got that right, man. I know I'm gonna be 1464 01:25:52.880 --> 01:25:57.319 struggling with an allergy outbreak on that day. But she's 1465 01:25:57.640 --> 01:26:00.000 she's a lucky lady, and he is absolutely alone. 1466 01:26:00.279 --> 01:26:00.399 Man. 1467 01:26:00.439 --> 01:26:02.600 They make a great couple together. So we're just thrilled 1468 01:26:02.640 --> 01:26:03.920 about them and their engagement. 1469 01:26:05.199 --> 01:26:08.680 Oh, that is so wonderful. Brian. I went to first 1470 01:26:08.760 --> 01:26:11.479 to start off, which which I think at the top 1471 01:26:11.560 --> 01:26:15.000 of the news is just acknowledging that Pope France has 1472 01:26:15.119 --> 01:26:18.199 died at the age of eighty eight. I know, you 1473 01:26:18.319 --> 01:26:22.239 know that I'm I'm Catholic, My family is Catholic. Uh, 1474 01:26:22.760 --> 01:26:27.039 you know, our our home parish, you know, has been 1475 01:26:27.119 --> 01:26:31.039 Bellaman Chapel at David University, which is a Jesuit community, 1476 01:26:32.279 --> 01:26:36.600 and so he was the first Jesuit pope that they've 1477 01:26:36.640 --> 01:26:39.920 ever had. And uh, you know, even at my points 1478 01:26:39.960 --> 01:26:44.000 of disagreement with him, you know, I and and and 1479 01:26:44.199 --> 01:26:46.920 all of the wonderful things that he did for the world. 1480 01:26:46.960 --> 01:26:49.000 There were so many good things that that he did, 1481 01:26:50.239 --> 01:26:52.680 the way he led his life of poverty, and I 1482 01:26:52.760 --> 01:26:57.359 think that so many pastors no matter what their faith is, 1483 01:26:58.359 --> 01:27:01.439 should take note of how he lived his life. But 1484 01:27:01.560 --> 01:27:03.640 at the end of the day, you know, I definitely 1485 01:27:03.680 --> 01:27:08.279 extend my condolences to the Catholic community because this is 1486 01:27:08.359 --> 01:27:10.199 going to be this is a very big deal, a 1487 01:27:10.319 --> 01:27:13.600 very big story, and the cardinals will be coming together 1488 01:27:14.760 --> 01:27:17.479 to lay him the rest, and then they will then 1489 01:27:17.600 --> 01:27:20.479 make the decision on the selection of a new pope. 1490 01:27:20.840 --> 01:27:22.920 And there's so many young people who've never been a 1491 01:27:23.000 --> 01:27:25.079 part of that process, never seen it. They don't know 1492 01:27:25.159 --> 01:27:27.880 what it's like. Yeah, because they were they were too 1493 01:27:28.000 --> 01:27:32.680 young when this pope was was elected twelve I think 1494 01:27:32.720 --> 01:27:35.279 it was twelve years ago. But at the end of 1495 01:27:35.319 --> 01:27:37.439 the day, they're going to get a chance to see 1496 01:27:37.479 --> 01:27:38.479 that entire process. 1497 01:27:39.159 --> 01:27:43.159 And I get the impression it's a very political process 1498 01:27:43.279 --> 01:27:47.079 inside the Vatican. I mean, yeah, it's you know, Peteing 1499 01:27:47.359 --> 01:27:49.880 fighting for turf and and you know, people have their 1500 01:27:49.960 --> 01:27:52.000 their favorites, and people have you know, people that they 1501 01:27:52.039 --> 01:27:55.560 don't like, and I just get the impression that it's 1502 01:27:56.760 --> 01:27:59.039 it isn't always a smooth process coming up with the 1503 01:27:59.119 --> 01:27:59.960 election of the next place. 1504 01:28:02.159 --> 01:28:04.640 I think if we were behind the doors, it would 1505 01:28:04.720 --> 01:28:11.279 make Congress look like puppies. I think it's a very 1506 01:28:11.359 --> 01:28:15.119 tough political process, and that's why everybody gets in there, 1507 01:28:15.199 --> 01:28:17.239 they lock the doors and they don't come out until 1508 01:28:17.279 --> 01:28:20.800 they have a new pope. But what I will say 1509 01:28:20.840 --> 01:28:24.560 about it as a Catholic is that I'm looking for 1510 01:28:24.760 --> 01:28:29.920 the selection of a more traditional of pope because we're 1511 01:28:30.000 --> 01:28:33.439 right now in a time where it seems like culture 1512 01:28:33.680 --> 01:28:37.640 across the world is going anywhere, any place. Anybody can 1513 01:28:37.720 --> 01:28:41.479 do anything, and there has to be an anchor, and 1514 01:28:41.600 --> 01:28:44.119 that anchor tends to be our faith. It tends to 1515 01:28:44.239 --> 01:28:47.800 be our religion and our faith. And so I'm hoping 1516 01:28:47.960 --> 01:28:52.359 here that there's a pivot to a pope that really 1517 01:28:52.439 --> 01:28:56.960 sticks to the doctrine of Catholicism rooted in it, and 1518 01:28:57.039 --> 01:29:01.239 that doesn't mean at the exclusion of others, but it 1519 01:29:01.359 --> 01:29:05.560 talks about Christmas, the importance of Christmas, for example, and 1520 01:29:05.720 --> 01:29:08.960 that you would not expect the pope to say, for example, 1521 01:29:09.000 --> 01:29:12.479 if they decided to weigh into secular politics, that they 1522 01:29:12.520 --> 01:29:15.920 wouldn't say it's okay for men to play against women 1523 01:29:16.039 --> 01:29:18.720 in sports. I want to make sure that we are 1524 01:29:19.199 --> 01:29:23.119 advancing faith, and I think young people right now Brian Thomas, 1525 01:29:23.560 --> 01:29:27.319 are seeking this in great numbers, and so I think 1526 01:29:27.359 --> 01:29:30.000 this is a great opportunity for the Catholic Church. And 1527 01:29:30.119 --> 01:29:32.119 if there's any kind of things that are going on 1528 01:29:32.359 --> 01:29:36.199 related to corruption at any level, that we have a 1529 01:29:36.359 --> 01:29:39.520 church that responds in a very appropriate way. 1530 01:29:39.760 --> 01:29:42.159 Oh yeah, yeah, And I'll be honest with you as 1531 01:29:42.199 --> 01:29:44.399 we know. Move on to the break here, Christopher. I 1532 01:29:44.479 --> 01:29:46.760 have a lot of friends that are Catholic. I grew 1533 01:29:46.840 --> 01:29:49.399 up in a very very Catholic neighborhood, even though I'm 1534 01:29:49.439 --> 01:29:54.640 not Catholic, but honestly I don't to I mean, across 1535 01:29:54.800 --> 01:29:58.279 the board, they were not thrilled with this the late Pope. 1536 01:29:58.560 --> 01:30:01.359 He was far too liberal for the Catholics that I know. 1537 01:30:01.600 --> 01:30:03.800 And that's why I'm glad to hear you say you're 1538 01:30:03.840 --> 01:30:07.119 looking for a more traditional pope, someone who's more, you know, 1539 01:30:07.680 --> 01:30:10.239 sticking with the doctor and the dogma of the faith, 1540 01:30:10.439 --> 01:30:14.000 sock Catholicism. I think that's really important. So that'll satisfy 1541 01:30:14.039 --> 01:30:15.399 a lot of my friends if they do go in 1542 01:30:15.479 --> 01:30:16.000 that direction. 1543 01:30:18.439 --> 01:30:20.520 I agree. I look forward to talking to you after 1544 01:30:20.600 --> 01:30:21.359 the break, my brother. 1545 01:30:21.600 --> 01:30:23.720 All right, we'll be right back after the brief words. 1546 01:30:23.760 --> 01:30:25.880 Here's seven twenty sixtet.

What else is on your mind? 1592 01:32:38.119 --> 01:32:39.640 Moving away from the passing of the Pope? 1593 01:32:40.920 --> 01:32:44.840 Listen, brother, I have so many topics that I can't 1594 01:32:44.920 --> 01:32:48.359 get through them all, but let me just say that. 1595 01:32:49.920 --> 01:32:53.279 You know the woman who was murdered in Maryland, Rachel Morin, 1596 01:32:53.600 --> 01:32:57.159 and she was thirty seven years old with five children, 1597 01:32:58.159 --> 01:33:00.800 and she was out on a jog on August six, 1598 01:33:00.960 --> 01:33:06.399 twenty twenty three, and she was horrifically murdered. And her 1599 01:33:06.520 --> 01:33:10.000 mother was at the White House this week and went 1600 01:33:10.159 --> 01:33:13.720 through the details of that horrific murder of her daughter. 1601 01:33:13.880 --> 01:33:16.680 I don't know if I could have done it, and 1602 01:33:16.800 --> 01:33:20.199 my heart goes out to that entire family in a 1603 01:33:20.239 --> 01:33:24.439 big way. You know, having buried me, having buried a spouse, 1604 01:33:24.520 --> 01:33:28.000 for ant Thomas, is totally different than burying a child. 1605 01:33:28.920 --> 01:33:32.520 And so people who go through that just in the 1606 01:33:32.720 --> 01:33:35.960 normal circumstance of a car wreck or cancer or something 1607 01:33:36.039 --> 01:33:38.760 like that, it's horrible, but to say that you as 1608 01:33:38.840 --> 01:33:42.760 somebody illegally in the country, that's something that could have 1609 01:33:42.840 --> 01:33:47.319 been avoided, that the White House didn't protect you, and 1610 01:33:47.439 --> 01:33:50.720 then that person killed your daughter, an American woman on 1611 01:33:50.880 --> 01:33:55.119 a job is insane. And to have her senator, this 1612 01:33:55.399 --> 01:33:59.760 van Holland flying over saying that he's advocating for somebody 1613 01:33:59.800 --> 01:34:03.760 who within our country illegally and using the language I'm 1614 01:34:03.800 --> 01:34:07.960 going to bring them back home. What is he talking about? Like, 1615 01:34:08.119 --> 01:34:11.119 I don't even understand what these Democrats are talking about 1616 01:34:11.520 --> 01:34:15.239 when they're out there advocating for people that clearly are 1617 01:34:15.359 --> 01:34:19.319 gang members, clearly are wife beaters, clearly is involved in 1618 01:34:19.479 --> 01:34:23.319 human trafficking. It's all been documented for any rational person 1619 01:34:23.640 --> 01:34:27.640 to see what is going on with our politics where 1620 01:34:27.680 --> 01:34:30.840 we think a Democratic senator there are only one hundred 1621 01:34:30.880 --> 01:34:34.079 of them to anybody who doesn't know that senators are 1622 01:34:34.439 --> 01:34:37.359 very powerful. And for him to fly over there and 1623 01:34:37.520 --> 01:34:42.520 engage in this while his constituent, meaning he's from Maryland 1624 01:34:42.920 --> 01:34:47.039 and Rachel Morin was his constituent, and he had not 1625 01:34:47.199 --> 01:34:50.399 even reached out to the mother, he had not extended 1626 01:34:50.439 --> 01:34:54.520 those condolences and really comforted her. He's over in another 1627 01:34:54.640 --> 01:34:58.600 country advocating, let's bring back a gang member to the 1628 01:34:58.720 --> 01:35:00.760 United States of America Brian Thomas. 1629 01:35:02.159 --> 01:35:04.760 Yeah, and they're so far on the wrong side of 1630 01:35:04.800 --> 01:35:07.840 that issue that it just really it boggles my mind 1631 01:35:08.439 --> 01:35:11.640 that a politician, you know, politicians like love look looking 1632 01:35:11.680 --> 01:35:13.920 at polls and figure out which way the wind is 1633 01:35:13.960 --> 01:35:16.119 blowing so they know what they should say to benefit 1634 01:35:16.199 --> 01:35:18.159 the most people or at least get the most votes. 1635 01:35:18.560 --> 01:35:21.039 This isn't I mean, this is like an eighty twenty issue. 1636 01:35:21.119 --> 01:35:23.560 You know, they're on the wrong side of this in 1637 01:35:23.640 --> 01:35:26.760 a huge way, and I can't imagine it benefiting them 1638 01:35:26.840 --> 01:35:30.920 and iota, I mean, it's inexcusable and inexplicable to start with. 1639 01:35:31.159 --> 01:35:34.560 But the fact that most people, Republicans and Democrats are 1640 01:35:34.680 --> 01:35:39.239 in favor of kicking out illegal criminal illegal immigrants, most notably, 1641 01:35:39.680 --> 01:35:41.079 I mean, just put them on the wrong side of 1642 01:35:41.079 --> 01:35:42.239 the ledger. I don't get it. 1643 01:35:43.800 --> 01:35:46.239 I don't get it. I mean, I want to emphasize 1644 01:35:46.720 --> 01:35:50.000 that the guy that he's advocating for as a criminal 1645 01:35:50.079 --> 01:35:54.960 record would stop in a vehicle, human trafficking, clearly tattooed 1646 01:35:55.039 --> 01:36:00.760 up for a gang member. MS thirteen clearly clearly beat 1647 01:36:00.840 --> 01:36:04.119 his wife up on two occasions. In an interview she 1648 01:36:04.279 --> 01:36:08.760 could not even say on mainstream media that she was 1649 01:36:09.119 --> 01:36:11.359 not fearful for her life, which is what she put 1650 01:36:11.439 --> 01:36:14.880 on the restraining order on two separate occasions. Why would 1651 01:36:14.920 --> 01:36:18.359 a senator be somewhere in another country. But I'm gonna 1652 01:36:18.399 --> 01:36:22.039 pivot away from that and talk locally about our mayor 1653 01:36:22.119 --> 01:36:25.439 pure vault. Look, I was the outgoing vice mayor of 1654 01:36:25.560 --> 01:36:29.920 the City of Cincinnati, but I'm also a Christian and 1655 01:36:30.439 --> 01:36:33.800 I have no problems leading with my faith. Brian Thomas. 1656 01:36:34.640 --> 01:36:39.079 This weekend was one of the most sacred weekends for 1657 01:36:39.319 --> 01:36:45.520 any Christian Resurrection weekend. We're coming from Good Friday, as 1658 01:36:45.600 --> 01:36:51.239 you talked about, Eastern Sunday, Resurrection Day. Sunday, this is 1659 01:36:51.359 --> 01:36:56.079 the day where we know that Jesus rose from the ditch, 1660 01:36:56.880 --> 01:37:00.279 the meaning God said his only begotten son here he 1661 01:37:00.520 --> 01:37:04.000 rows on the third day. And it's our relationship. It's 1662 01:37:04.079 --> 01:37:06.840 how our sins are forgiven and how we can have 1663 01:37:06.920 --> 01:37:10.800 a relationship directly with God. Who in the world would 1664 01:37:10.800 --> 01:37:14.159 be doing a protest downtown if you're a mayor. I'm 1665 01:37:14.199 --> 01:37:17.279 starting with I heard your caller call in about the 1666 01:37:17.479 --> 01:37:20.680 issue with having a permit or not. Reality of it 1667 01:37:20.840 --> 01:37:25.079 is what mayor with being downtown Cincinnati engaging in a 1668 01:37:25.199 --> 01:37:29.680 protest when guests, our guests, our family, my family, they're 1669 01:37:29.800 --> 01:37:32.840 all coming in town. They're coming in town to celebrate, 1670 01:37:33.039 --> 01:37:36.359 like your family. Why would you greet them downtown with 1671 01:37:36.520 --> 01:37:39.600 protests as they're trying to go to restaurants, as they're 1672 01:37:39.680 --> 01:37:42.640 trying to host their families. Why would you do that 1673 01:37:42.800 --> 01:37:49.800 on the most sacred Christian holiday ever. I haven't even 1674 01:37:49.920 --> 01:37:52.640 gotten to the notion of breaking the law and not 1675 01:37:52.840 --> 01:37:56.680 having a permit. It's like, God, what is this mayor 1676 01:37:56.840 --> 01:37:57.479 thinking about? 1677 01:37:57.720 --> 01:37:57.920 See? 1678 01:37:58.000 --> 01:38:02.119 This is this woke liberalist that we all must reject. 1679 01:38:02.800 --> 01:38:06.239 It's like, not even the etiquette. Why not do it 1680 01:38:06.359 --> 01:38:11.600 this upcoming weekend? Why choose Resurrection weekend when Christians are 1681 01:38:11.720 --> 01:38:14.720 celebrating their most important holiday. 1682 01:38:15.279 --> 01:38:16.039 That's great question. 1683 01:38:16.119 --> 01:38:18.920 I don't get this mayor. And it's why I'm supporting 1684 01:38:20.119 --> 01:38:24.199 Corey Bowman for mayor because I keep seeing this craziness 1685 01:38:24.279 --> 01:38:27.479 coming out of City Hall and there's not one member 1686 01:38:27.640 --> 01:38:30.880 of council that will call this mayor on the carpet 1687 01:38:31.159 --> 01:38:33.560 and say, let me tell you, I shouldn't have to 1688 01:38:33.640 --> 01:38:37.159 call as a former vice mayor, they're nine members of council. 1689 01:38:37.680 --> 01:38:41.279 They should be writing a dissent, saying, look, Mayor, why 1690 01:38:41.399 --> 01:38:44.960 were you down there engaging in an illegal protest? No 1691 01:38:45.199 --> 01:38:49.000 permitting blocking off streets, But why would you be doing 1692 01:38:49.079 --> 01:38:52.920 that on the most sacred Christian holiday weekend? I don't 1693 01:38:52.960 --> 01:38:53.439 understand it. 1694 01:38:53.479 --> 01:38:57.279 Brian Thomas not to mention the apparently significant expense they 1695 01:38:57.319 --> 01:38:59.520 had to pay overtime hours for the police department to 1696 01:38:59.520 --> 01:39:01.640 have a present there, and the police officers, I get 1697 01:39:01.680 --> 01:39:04.920 the impression from FOP President Ken Kober, were instructed that 1698 01:39:05.000 --> 01:39:09.039 they shouldn't engage in ticketing folks for violating the law 1699 01:39:09.159 --> 01:39:11.520 because they didn't have a permit. I mean, it just 1700 01:39:11.560 --> 01:39:13.720 defeats the whole point of the permit process. If you 1701 01:39:13.760 --> 01:39:15.520 aren't going to prosecute people for it, you aren't going 1702 01:39:15.560 --> 01:39:17.560 to hand out citations, then what's the point of having 1703 01:39:17.640 --> 01:39:20.039 the law in the books. Pause, we'll bring Christopher back. 1704 01:39:20.079 --> 01:39:22.960 Maybe you can elaborate on that.

Christopher Smitheman, H yeah, 1753 01:41:50.439 --> 01:41:53.319 Chris on the protest, you know, and Ken Kober pointed 1754 01:41:53.359 --> 01:41:55.960 out that they didn't have a permit. It was unlawful 1755 01:41:56.039 --> 01:41:58.840 for them to block the traffic, and I guess they 1756 01:41:58.880 --> 01:42:01.560 were instructed not to a to anybody or issuing any citations. 1757 01:42:01.840 --> 01:42:03.520 Seeing to me, I said, next time, once you arrest 1758 01:42:03.640 --> 01:42:06.800 the mayor, you know you want a headlines grabber. The 1759 01:42:06.880 --> 01:42:10.319 mayor arrested for violating the city ordinances, city law and 1760 01:42:10.439 --> 01:42:13.159 participating in a protest without that license. That excuse me, 1761 01:42:13.199 --> 01:42:14.279 that would speak volumes. 1762 01:42:15.920 --> 01:42:19.119 I think it's a great taxpayer lawsuit. You know, there 1763 01:42:19.239 --> 01:42:21.680 was a time where a lawyer by the name of 1764 01:42:21.800 --> 01:42:24.800 Chris Finny would take these, uh, this type of litigation 1765 01:42:25.000 --> 01:42:29.359 up saying that the taxpayers aren't responsible for any of 1766 01:42:29.439 --> 01:42:33.039 that and that the organizers are responsible and have them 1767 01:42:33.079 --> 01:42:33.680 pay the bills. 1768 01:42:33.800 --> 01:42:33.960 Yeah. 1769 01:42:33.960 --> 01:42:36.800 I like that, and so yeah, I think I think 1770 01:42:37.199 --> 01:42:39.840 I think you could. You know there's somebody out there listening. 1771 01:42:40.239 --> 01:42:42.439 You know, you just need one person and a good 1772 01:42:42.520 --> 01:42:47.039 lawyer to follow a taxpayer lawsuit and start deposing people 1773 01:42:47.520 --> 01:42:51.680 about was this a lawful a lawful event where if 1774 01:42:51.680 --> 01:42:53.680 you tell everybody else they have to have a permit 1775 01:42:53.880 --> 01:42:56.359 and they didn't have a permit, you've got a problem 1776 01:42:56.439 --> 01:42:59.399 as a city. And because your mayor was there, it 1777 01:42:59.600 --> 01:43:03.600 probably we would give them the opportunity to depose him directly. 1778 01:43:04.319 --> 01:43:05.680 Very interesting lawsuits. 1779 01:43:06.800 --> 01:43:08.840 One can only hope that someone out there here's that 1780 01:43:08.960 --> 01:43:10.720 and says that's a great idea. I'm going to take 1781 01:43:10.760 --> 01:43:12.000 Christmas Men's advice. 1782 01:43:13.560 --> 01:43:16.920 But let me say this to you, Brian Thomas. You 1783 01:43:17.000 --> 01:43:22.359 know I'm listening to these universities like Harvard and Columbia 1784 01:43:22.520 --> 01:43:27.720 University Princeton, Harvard being in Columbia being the most, but 1785 01:43:27.800 --> 01:43:32.800 there are lots of these liberal institutions that take federal money. First, 1786 01:43:32.920 --> 01:43:35.079 I didn't realize how much money they were giving. 1787 01:43:35.159 --> 01:43:39.079 I know, I was just gonna say that this is insane. 1788 01:43:38.960 --> 01:43:43.680 By that I didn't realize we're giving Harvard over two 1789 01:43:43.960 --> 01:43:47.760 billion dollars per year and they have a fifty three 1790 01:43:48.199 --> 01:43:53.279 billion dollar endowment. Why are we giving these universities any money. 1791 01:43:53.880 --> 01:43:55.840 And they're lined up around the block to get in there. 1792 01:43:55.880 --> 01:43:59.520 It's not like they don't charge tuition. Hell, it's insane, man. 1793 01:44:00.279 --> 01:44:03.600 Hundred one hundred thousand dollars a year or eighty thousand, 1794 01:44:03.680 --> 01:44:07.800 whatever the number is. And then you see their privilege, right, 1795 01:44:07.920 --> 01:44:10.960 They actually they've been getting this money every single year 1796 01:44:11.479 --> 01:44:15.479 that they absolutely absolutely believe that our tax dollars, our 1797 01:44:15.600 --> 01:44:20.279 federal tax dollars could go to them because of their right, 1798 01:44:20.399 --> 01:44:24.039 their right to have it. They don't view it as hey, man, 1799 01:44:24.399 --> 01:44:26.680 there are people out there that work who will never 1800 01:44:26.760 --> 01:44:30.680 step foot on Harvard University. They're working construction jobs out here. 1801 01:44:31.279 --> 01:44:34.640 They're working nine to five jobs as waitresses and waiters 1802 01:44:34.760 --> 01:44:38.800 out here, right, they're making twenty dollars fifteen dollars, twelve 1803 01:44:38.840 --> 01:44:41.520 dollars an hour. All that federal money that goes in 1804 01:44:41.640 --> 01:44:43.960 as we come out of April of fifteen, why are 1805 01:44:44.039 --> 01:44:46.840 we giving Harvard any money? The second point that I 1806 01:44:46.960 --> 01:44:50.199 want to make about this for people to consider is 1807 01:44:50.279 --> 01:44:54.920 that the university could just say I'm not gonna take 1808 01:44:54.960 --> 01:44:57.039 the money and I'm gonna live, I'm gonna work as 1809 01:44:57.079 --> 01:45:00.439 a private institution. They'll see that they I feel like 1810 01:45:00.560 --> 01:45:03.039 they can get the money, but then they don't have 1811 01:45:03.239 --> 01:45:06.520 to listen to the federal government. Right, These are some 1812 01:45:07.000 --> 01:45:11.960 arrogant people, man, they are arrogant at all. Get out that. 1813 01:45:12.119 --> 01:45:16.239 They say, taxpayers, I get your two billion dollars, but 1814 01:45:16.399 --> 01:45:18.520 I don't have to listen to your government at all. 1815 01:45:18.960 --> 01:45:21.960 I can do whatever I wanted to. What world are 1816 01:45:22.119 --> 01:45:22.680 they living? 1817 01:45:23.239 --> 01:45:25.720 Yeah, it's just every time I hear about that, you know, 1818 01:45:25.760 --> 01:45:28.239 they get upset that the federal government is now requiring 1819 01:45:28.319 --> 01:45:30.800 them to crack down on anti Semitism or whatever the 1820 01:45:30.840 --> 01:45:33.479 federal gument is asking to do as a condition of 1821 01:45:33.680 --> 01:45:38.039 accepting the money. It's okay when left wingers they tell you, well, 1822 01:45:38.039 --> 01:45:40.439 you've got to teach DEEI, and you've got to you know, 1823 01:45:40.800 --> 01:45:42.199 do this, that and the other thing. If it's some 1824 01:45:42.359 --> 01:45:45.239 left wing proposal, they're not objecting against it. But as 1825 01:45:45.279 --> 01:45:47.520 soon as the conservative administration comes in it says, no, 1826 01:45:47.640 --> 01:45:49.199 we're going to be cracking down and trying to protect 1827 01:45:49.199 --> 01:45:51.039 our Jewish students' friends, and you're going to help out 1828 01:45:51.199 --> 01:45:53.319 or we're cutting you off. They get all bet out 1829 01:45:53.319 --> 01:45:55.520 of shape over it. Like you said, be you like 1830 01:45:55.640 --> 01:45:58.479 Hillsdale College. If you don't accept federal money. You don't 1831 01:45:58.520 --> 01:46:01.560 have to accept federal strings. That's regardless of which political 1832 01:46:01.600 --> 01:46:04.319 stripe they come in, exactly. 1833 01:46:04.520 --> 01:46:09.279 And by the way, most Americans don't get a college education. 1834 01:46:09.800 --> 01:46:14.199 You know, this notion that these up any students that 1835 01:46:14.279 --> 01:46:17.199 are there, by the way, and I heard a commentator say, 1836 01:46:17.520 --> 01:46:20.279 the majority of them will own homes in their life, 1837 01:46:20.640 --> 01:46:23.359 but the people who are putting money in the pot won't. 1838 01:46:23.920 --> 01:46:26.560 And so this notion that they can just go out 1839 01:46:27.079 --> 01:46:31.600 say all this stuff about Hama, hate America, burn flags there, 1840 01:46:32.039 --> 01:46:34.640 and then sit back and say, hey, I still get 1841 01:46:34.720 --> 01:46:37.760 your two point three billion dollars while we have a 1842 01:46:37.840 --> 01:46:41.119 fifty three billion dollar endowment. I mean, if they were 1843 01:46:41.239 --> 01:46:43.319 saying they would just say, you know what, We'll forego 1844 01:46:43.520 --> 01:46:45.439 this for the next eight years and we're going to 1845 01:46:45.560 --> 01:46:48.039 use our endowment and we're gonna let our students do 1846 01:46:48.119 --> 01:46:50.720 whatever they want to do. I think that's terrible for 1847 01:46:50.800 --> 01:46:53.520 the Jewish community that you have students there that are 1848 01:46:53.560 --> 01:46:58.000 anti Semitic. Mean, let me be clear. I support people's 1849 01:46:58.119 --> 01:47:02.000 right to speak their First Amendment right, Brian Thomas, and 1850 01:47:02.079 --> 01:47:04.600 I know you do too. People listening to us will go, well, 1851 01:47:04.640 --> 01:47:07.439 they're against someone's First Amendment. Right, that's not what we're 1852 01:47:07.479 --> 01:47:12.439 talking about. We're talking about their actions, their behavior. Them's 1853 01:47:12.640 --> 01:47:18.640 blocking doors, knocking out windows, setting flags on fire, harassing 1854 01:47:18.760 --> 01:47:21.760 other students that go to Harvard. That is what the 1855 01:47:21.840 --> 01:47:24.880 White House is talking about. They're not talking about their 1856 01:47:25.000 --> 01:47:28.319 right to go and have free speech. We're saying, listen, 1857 01:47:28.439 --> 01:47:32.560 your free speech is in you're engaging in an action. 1858 01:47:33.039 --> 01:47:36.439 Your behavior is what we're talking about. And they're asking 1859 01:47:36.800 --> 01:47:40.760 Harvard and Princeton and Columbia to get it together, get 1860 01:47:40.840 --> 01:47:44.399 their students together so that their actions and their behaviors 1861 01:47:44.479 --> 01:47:48.479 reflect the United States of America. And it's citizens who 1862 01:47:48.560 --> 01:47:51.680 are giving them these billions of dollars. I say, cut 1863 01:47:51.760 --> 01:47:54.920 them all off, period, give them, not give them a dime, 1864 01:47:55.359 --> 01:47:57.560 and not give them a dime for the next four years, 1865 01:47:57.760 --> 01:47:59.720 and let them sue us, and let's go all the 1866 01:47:59.720 --> 01:48:03.439 way to the Supreme Court with these privileged institutions that 1867 01:48:03.640 --> 01:48:07.000 believe that we owe them to give them the billions 1868 01:48:07.039 --> 01:48:08.279 of dollars and we don't. 1869 01:48:08.359 --> 01:48:12.680 Brian Thomas, Yeah, it's a great idea, Christopher, And you know, 1870 01:48:12.800 --> 01:48:15.800 it's just I'm happy all this is going on because 1871 01:48:15.840 --> 01:48:18.479 it is I think, as you point out, there are 1872 01:48:18.479 --> 01:48:20.840 a lot of hardworking people out there of different political 1873 01:48:20.920 --> 01:48:24.359 stripes that just their mouths drop open in awe and 1874 01:48:24.479 --> 01:48:26.880 disbelief that, oh, my god, how many years we've been 1875 01:48:26.920 --> 01:48:30.760 given these institutions billions and billions of dollars that it 1876 01:48:30.840 --> 01:48:34.239 took all this anti semitism and these shutdowns of college 1877 01:48:34.319 --> 01:48:37.880 campuses to shed light on this. I mean, you know, 1878 01:48:38.279 --> 01:48:40.319 listen to what advantage of all this is that people 1879 01:48:40.600 --> 01:48:42.600 finally see it for what it is and get as 1880 01:48:42.680 --> 01:48:44.520 angry as you are about it, because you know, the 1881 01:48:44.600 --> 01:48:48.560 hell with those people. I just I don't know, man. 1882 01:48:48.640 --> 01:48:51.000 It's not like about extra money laying around. Christopher, you know, 1883 01:48:51.079 --> 01:48:52.960 and you're a financial planner, I bet you could figure 1884 01:48:53.000 --> 01:48:56.000 out probably pretty quickly how much money they earn in 1885 01:48:56.439 --> 01:48:59.640 investments on that fifty two to three billion dollars in 1886 01:48:59.720 --> 01:49:01.800 dollar that they have. It's not like it's a static, 1887 01:49:01.880 --> 01:49:03.760 finite amount of money that isn't going to that's gonna 1888 01:49:03.760 --> 01:49:04.880 shrink up and disappear. 1889 01:49:06.319 --> 01:49:09.680 And what's so crazy about it? To your listening audience 1890 01:49:09.720 --> 01:49:12.720 who knows this, They are layered on top of it, 1891 01:49:13.319 --> 01:49:16.479 they get a tax e zip status. Yeah, they're not 1892 01:49:16.600 --> 01:49:21.279 even paying taxes, brother, we're giving them two billion dollars 1893 01:49:21.399 --> 01:49:24.079 or over that of money right out of our checks 1894 01:49:24.159 --> 01:49:27.800 to them. They have a fifty three billion dollar endowment 1895 01:49:28.039 --> 01:49:33.640 and they're paying zero in taxes. Now, I will tell 1896 01:49:33.680 --> 01:49:36.720 you that. Right now, my daughter and I are traveling 1897 01:49:36.800 --> 01:49:41.560 around the state of Ohio visiting colleges and universities, places 1898 01:49:41.640 --> 01:49:47.640 like the Ohio State University, Miami of Ohio, Mount Saint Joe. 1899 01:49:48.119 --> 01:49:52.439 We'll be checking out BGSU Finley, might go up to AKROM, 1900 01:49:52.439 --> 01:49:55.119 but we're doing this right now. Sure, I want to 1901 01:49:55.159 --> 01:49:55.920 be open with you. 1902 01:49:56.079 --> 01:49:56.239 Man. 1903 01:49:56.760 --> 01:49:59.920 Look, I don't want my daughter to go to one 1904 01:50:00.079 --> 01:50:04.560 of these institutions that thinks it's okay to break windows out, 1905 01:50:04.840 --> 01:50:09.760 harass any student, a Jewish student, an African American student, 1906 01:50:09.880 --> 01:50:14.920 an Italian student, and international student. It's unacceptable behavior. These 1907 01:50:15.000 --> 01:50:17.960 eighteen and nineteen and twenty one year olds and twenty 1908 01:50:17.960 --> 01:50:20.439 two year olds that are going to these institutions, who 1909 01:50:20.520 --> 01:50:24.720 are coming from privileged households, privileged households are out of 1910 01:50:24.800 --> 01:50:27.640 control when they think they can walk up and block 1911 01:50:27.720 --> 01:50:31.000 my daughter from walking into a library. I mean this notion. 1912 01:50:31.159 --> 01:50:34.279 So I'm looking at institutions and I'm trying to figure 1913 01:50:34.319 --> 01:50:36.520 out as I talk to my daughter to say, look, 1914 01:50:37.079 --> 01:50:39.680 I want to make sure that we're picking the best 1915 01:50:39.800 --> 01:50:43.359 institution for you, and I don't want her around this 1916 01:50:43.640 --> 01:50:46.359 kind of wokeness. I don't like it at all. I 1917 01:50:46.439 --> 01:50:50.479 think it's incredibly disrespectful. And I don't like students that 1918 01:50:50.600 --> 01:50:53.640 think it's okay to harass other students to bully them. 1919 01:50:53.920 --> 01:50:56.720 What's going on with the Democratic Party that they would 1920 01:50:56.760 --> 01:50:59.760 think this behavior is okay? Brian Thomas, I thought this 1921 01:50:59.880 --> 01:51:02.800 was a party of inclusion. I thought it was a 1922 01:51:02.920 --> 01:51:05.920 party of acceptance. It doesn't feel that way to me. 1923 01:51:06.279 --> 01:51:08.840 It feels like I'm gonna shove my values down your 1924 01:51:08.920 --> 01:51:12.359 throat and if you don't like it, screw you. I 1925 01:51:12.399 --> 01:51:13.199 have a problem with that. 1926 01:51:13.399 --> 01:51:15.399 Yeah, I do too. And you know the party that's 1927 01:51:15.439 --> 01:51:18.039 running around calling you know, Donald Trump and and all 1928 01:51:18.079 --> 01:51:22.079 the Republicans and Nazis. Trump is the one trying to 1929 01:51:22.199 --> 01:51:26.439 help the Jewish students get an education. Nazis are the 1930 01:51:26.479 --> 01:51:30.319 ones that wanted to kill the Jews? Am I misremembering history? Christopher? 1931 01:51:30.399 --> 01:51:32.239 It just seems to me to be a little bit odd. 1932 01:51:33.720 --> 01:51:37.720 Ryan Thomas, you are absolutely right on point, and the 1933 01:51:37.880 --> 01:51:43.159 hypocrisy is just amazing. You've got Democratic senators flying out 1934 01:51:43.199 --> 01:51:45.800 of the out of our country, trying to bring back 1935 01:51:45.920 --> 01:51:50.199 people that came into our country illegally, right, who who 1936 01:51:50.319 --> 01:51:55.159 are raping and maiming our American citizens. Right. And at 1937 01:51:55.199 --> 01:51:58.560 the same time they're saying, university it's okay to harass 1938 01:51:58.760 --> 01:52:02.520 Jewish students. I hope Jewish leadership, I hope they're watching 1939 01:52:02.600 --> 01:52:06.880 this very very closely. And because just like African Americans, 1940 01:52:07.079 --> 01:52:11.399 the Jewish community often votes democratics to the Democratic Party, right, 1941 01:52:11.640 --> 01:52:15.359 and so I'm hoping they're waking up saying, at least 1942 01:52:15.439 --> 01:52:19.279 move to being an independent, hold your vote and why again, 1943 01:52:19.479 --> 01:52:22.319 I can't say enough. I'm voting for Corey Bowman, and 1944 01:52:22.359 --> 01:52:24.800 I'm encouraging other people to vote for him for mayor. 1945 01:52:25.279 --> 01:52:28.600 Let's not just surrender our values to think that it's 1946 01:52:28.680 --> 01:52:32.119 okay for a mayor to go in our downtown Cincinnati 1947 01:52:32.199 --> 01:52:37.720 on our most sacred Christian holiday without a permit, right, 1948 01:52:37.960 --> 01:52:43.279 without a permit, using our taxpayer dollars to protect illegal behavior. 1949 01:52:43.520 --> 01:52:45.680 It's not the First Amendment speech you and I are 1950 01:52:45.760 --> 01:52:49.520 talking about. So nobody emailed me, nobody texts me I 1951 01:52:49.720 --> 01:52:53.159 support the First Amendment, right, I'm talking about not having 1952 01:52:53.239 --> 01:52:56.800 a permit. Your caller who your guest caller that called 1953 01:52:56.840 --> 01:53:00.199 in is right on point. That was illegal. And our 1954 01:53:00.319 --> 01:53:03.880 mayor went down there and hobnobbed and got on the 1955 01:53:04.159 --> 01:53:06.479 got on his big mic and went down there with 1956 01:53:06.680 --> 01:53:09.239 him where he was engaging in something that was illegal. 1957 01:53:09.359 --> 01:53:12.199 It just I'm just insulted that he would do it 1958 01:53:12.520 --> 01:53:15.760 on Resurrection weekend. And if you're a Christian out there 1959 01:53:15.880 --> 01:53:18.439 like me on fire for God, I'm hoping that you 1960 01:53:18.600 --> 01:53:22.239 are as offended hearing my voice that our mayor, I 1961 01:53:22.279 --> 01:53:25.239 don't care whether you're a Democrat or Republican or independent 1962 01:53:25.520 --> 01:53:28.880 with downtown when our families are coming in engaging in 1963 01:53:28.960 --> 01:53:35.039 an unlawful protest without apartment on our resurrection weekend. Well 1964 01:53:35.119 --> 01:53:35.840 stayed on him. 1965 01:53:36.000 --> 01:53:39.520 Well stated Christopher, you are on fire today, Well stated 1966 01:53:39.760 --> 01:53:42.520 smither vent.

It's always a pleasure to having you on 1995 01:55:09.159 --> 01:55:19.079 the program. His microphones off, see if yes it is there? 1996 01:55:19.199 --> 01:55:20.600 Yes it was off. There you go. 1997 01:55:21.119 --> 01:55:23.039 Sure, yeah, and I was. I was ready to roll, 1998 01:55:23.079 --> 01:55:24.840 all ready to get our Monday kicked off and I'm 1999 01:55:24.840 --> 01:55:28.640 talking to myself. Apologies for us some technical inaptitude here. Yes, 2000 01:55:30.000 --> 01:55:33.560 another Monday, another discussion of volatility and craziness and audio problems. 2001 01:55:33.600 --> 01:55:35.800 Coming off a week of vacation, I feel as though 2002 01:55:35.840 --> 01:55:38.479 I'm not firing on all cylinders. I like vacation. It's 2003 01:55:38.520 --> 01:55:42.439 like you need a vacation after your vacation, so you know. Anyway, 2004 01:55:43.640 --> 01:55:46.239 struggling to scooch myself this morning, but MIC's are on. 2005 01:55:46.439 --> 01:55:48.960 It's time to talk money matters. Let's talk about stock 2006 01:55:49.000 --> 01:55:53.560 market volatility. I no market genius, am I, Brian. That's 2007 01:55:53.600 --> 01:55:56.079 why I have someone managing my you know, my my 2008 01:55:56.159 --> 01:55:59.840 certified financial planner managing my affairs. I don't want to 2009 01:55:59.880 --> 01:56:01.600 have have to pay attention to it. But I have 2010 01:56:01.760 --> 01:56:04.880 some general understandings and things like that. But I get 2011 01:56:04.920 --> 01:56:09.119 the impression that the volatility in the market, and it 2012 01:56:09.239 --> 01:56:11.520 has been kind of up and down with all these 2013 01:56:11.720 --> 01:56:15.359 talks about tariffs. I just I just get the impression 2014 01:56:15.479 --> 01:56:19.359 no one really knows what they're gonna do these tariffs 2015 01:56:19.399 --> 01:56:21.319 and how we're going to be dealing with it, or 2016 01:56:21.359 --> 01:56:24.399 what is going to emerge as a consequence of them. 2017 01:56:24.800 --> 01:56:27.079 Will they stay around? Will Donald Trump pull the plug 2018 01:56:27.119 --> 01:56:30.079 on them? Is he going to negotiate better deals with 2019 01:56:30.159 --> 01:56:32.479 different countries? Is China going to hold out? I mean, 2020 01:56:33.159 --> 01:56:34.560 it's just seems to me a whole lot of question 2021 01:56:34.640 --> 01:56:37.960 mark swirling around it, and that uncertainty of its in 2022 01:56:38.039 --> 01:56:41.600 and of itself brings around volatility. I suppose, doesn't it? 2023 01:56:42.520 --> 01:56:45.239 Yeah, it does. And I'm looking at what happened last week. 2024 01:56:45.640 --> 01:56:47.399 My first comment was going to be it was relatively 2025 01:56:47.439 --> 01:56:49.279 quiet week, but then I realized, no, it wasn't. Hasn't 2026 01:56:49.279 --> 01:56:51.479 been quiet week all year long. It's been nothing but 2027 01:56:51.640 --> 01:56:55.119 chaos because we're simply finding our way. You know, a 2028 01:56:55.199 --> 01:56:58.479 quiet week simply means the market bounced up and down violently, 2029 01:56:58.640 --> 01:57:00.640 but then kind of ended where we're it started, So 2030 01:57:00.720 --> 01:57:03.039 there was no you know, kind of week over week impacts. 2031 01:57:03.239 --> 01:57:05.600 But yeah, we have reached the stage. We know we're 2032 01:57:05.640 --> 01:57:08.159 in chaos right now. We know there's a there's change 2033 01:57:08.199 --> 01:57:10.720 coming and we're we're under We're under a lot of 2034 01:57:10.800 --> 01:57:13.840 it right now. The market absolutely hates that. It's not that, 2035 01:57:14.399 --> 01:57:15.880 you know, we're gonna go over the cliff and hit 2036 01:57:15.920 --> 01:57:17.319 the bottom and that's going to be the end and 2037 01:57:17.399 --> 01:57:19.039 we're all gonna, you know, live in caves and buy 2038 01:57:19.119 --> 01:57:21.000 ammunition and grow corn for the rest of our lives. 2039 01:57:21.199 --> 01:57:23.439 It's that's not that's not where we are. But the 2040 01:57:23.520 --> 01:57:25.800 market is behaving the way it is because it simply 2041 01:57:25.880 --> 01:57:29.000 can't see. We're flailing around in the fog. The market 2042 01:57:29.159 --> 01:57:33.159 absolutely hates when it can't predict what's coming. So therefore, 2043 01:57:33.239 --> 01:57:34.880 with what the market always wants to know. You know, 2044 01:57:34.960 --> 01:57:37.159 there are a number of earnings reports, for example, coming 2045 01:57:37.239 --> 01:57:39.199 this week from big companies like Verizon, AT and T, 2046 01:57:39.399 --> 01:57:41.560 P and G and some of the big names. We 2047 01:57:41.640 --> 01:57:43.640 are going to be listening. What we're going to focus 2048 01:57:43.720 --> 01:57:46.199 on this week is what are those companies saying in 2049 01:57:46.319 --> 01:57:48.199 terms of visibility. Doesn't really matter what they did in 2050 01:57:48.239 --> 01:57:50.359 the last core. We't care about that anymore. That's that's 2051 01:57:50.520 --> 01:57:52.520 that's over and done with. What are they what what 2052 01:57:52.680 --> 01:57:54.760 position are they going to take over the next several 2053 01:57:54.840 --> 01:57:57.479 months with regard to tariffs. So, for example, if Proctor 2054 01:57:57.520 --> 01:58:00.399 and Gamble manufactured stuff overseas and wants to move country 2055 01:58:00.399 --> 01:58:02.840 to country. What's the tariff going to be on the 2056 01:58:03.000 --> 01:58:05.880 day that that package of stuff arrives in whatever country 2057 01:58:05.920 --> 01:58:08.760 it's it's destined for. And we don't know that right 2058 01:58:08.800 --> 01:58:11.079 now because that literally changes that you as you just said, 2059 01:58:11.119 --> 01:58:14.279 that changes almost day to day anymore. The market absolutely 2060 01:58:14.319 --> 01:58:17.880 hates that because it cannot calculate what a successful transaction 2061 01:58:18.000 --> 01:58:20.439 should result in in terms of profit. Therefore we have 2062 01:58:20.520 --> 01:58:21.920 these violence wings back and forth. 2063 01:58:22.000 --> 01:58:22.520 For this world. 2064 01:58:22.840 --> 01:58:26.800 The planning is, I mean the markets. If there's if 2065 01:58:26.840 --> 01:58:29.600 you can count on something happening, even if like taxes 2066 01:58:29.600 --> 01:58:31.920 are going to increase, you know it's going to happen. 2067 01:58:32.039 --> 01:58:34.079 It's going to be x. They can factor that in 2068 01:58:34.319 --> 01:58:37.560 and deal with it because there's some certainty into what's 2069 01:58:37.640 --> 01:58:39.760 coming in the future. It may not be as good. 2070 01:58:39.920 --> 01:58:42.640 Financial projections may not be as good, but at least 2071 01:58:42.680 --> 01:58:45.800 they can have some you know, sound ground upon which 2072 01:58:45.920 --> 01:58:49.399 to make these predictions and and sort of plan their future. 2073 01:58:49.479 --> 01:58:51.439 And right now we're kind of like a ship without 2074 01:58:51.439 --> 01:58:52.640 a rudder, it seems. 2075 01:58:53.199 --> 01:58:55.680 Yeah, pretty much. And that is there's so much history 2076 01:58:55.800 --> 01:58:58.720 between when we can say okay, We know that P 2077 01:58:58.880 --> 01:59:01.800 and G, Google, Apple, whatever, sold x number of units, 2078 01:59:01.840 --> 01:59:04.399 and they normally have this kind of a profit profit 2079 01:59:04.520 --> 01:59:06.840 margin when they do those kinds of things. So therefore 2080 01:59:07.039 --> 01:59:09.079 the stocks should move like this and we can kind 2081 01:59:09.119 --> 01:59:11.960 of anticipate, and that's what analysts basically get paid to do. 2082 01:59:12.239 --> 01:59:15.640 But right now that profit margin is in question because 2083 01:59:15.960 --> 01:59:18.319 because of all the tariffs and all those kinds of things, 2084 01:59:18.399 --> 01:59:20.680 what is the dream going to be? And so what 2085 01:59:20.800 --> 01:59:24.079 we're seeing is it's an interesting divergence. I'm looking at 2086 01:59:24.119 --> 01:59:27.359 a chart right now just where everything is so prior 2087 01:59:27.439 --> 01:59:31.119 to this week, even the European Far Eastern Asian stocks, 2088 01:59:31.159 --> 01:59:33.319 you know, which is basically the S and P five 2089 01:59:33.439 --> 01:59:36.720 hundred of the rest of the world, last week they 2090 01:59:36.800 --> 01:59:39.960 were down about three four percent for the year. As 2091 01:59:40.000 --> 01:59:42.319 we're sitting here right now, Brian Thomas, they're up about 2092 01:59:42.359 --> 01:59:45.680 seven percent for the year. Now, compare that with the Nasdaq, 2093 01:59:45.720 --> 01:59:48.279 which still sits down about sixteen percent, the S and 2094 01:59:48.319 --> 01:59:50.840 P five hundreds down ten and even the dall is 2095 01:59:50.920 --> 01:59:53.079 down eight percent. So the point of all that is 2096 01:59:53.600 --> 01:59:56.039 there is volatility, but that also means there's upside to it. 2097 01:59:56.399 --> 01:59:58.880 The companies that are doing the best are the ones 2098 01:59:58.960 --> 02:00:02.079 that potentially have an opportunity here. And we've talked about 2099 02:00:02.079 --> 02:00:04.880 this before, but there are probably some funds, hopefully some 2100 02:00:04.960 --> 02:00:07.840 funds in your portfolio that you haven't been paying attention 2101 02:00:07.960 --> 02:00:11.119 to in years. I'm speaking of the international stocks in 2102 02:00:11.199 --> 02:00:15.000 the emerging markets, which is which are more like the Brazil, India, China, 2103 02:00:15.039 --> 02:00:16.720 those kinds of things. We haven't talked about those countries 2104 02:00:16.720 --> 02:00:19.199 in a long long time, but they're all lining up 2105 02:00:19.640 --> 02:00:23.000 looking at this opportunity, watching the United States choose to 2106 02:00:23.119 --> 02:00:26.520 fight with its customers, and they're looking for opportunities to 2107 02:00:26.920 --> 02:00:29.600 create new markets where for those countries there wasn't one before. 2108 02:00:29.880 --> 02:00:32.079 And so that's why the market is sensing that, hey, 2109 02:00:32.159 --> 02:00:34.760 these companies that maybe weren't as big as players as 2110 02:00:34.800 --> 02:00:37.880 they were in the past may now have a great opportunity. 2111 02:00:38.199 --> 02:00:40.199 That's why they're up seven percent. So if you have 2112 02:00:40.359 --> 02:00:43.640 a properly diversified portfolio, you really shouldn't be getting killed. 2113 02:00:43.760 --> 02:00:45.760 If you're down fifteen to twenty percent, then my guess 2114 02:00:45.800 --> 02:00:48.119 has been you've been chasing technology for the last fifteen 2115 02:00:48.159 --> 02:00:49.640 years and it's coming around to bite you in the 2116 02:00:49.680 --> 02:00:50.039 rear end. 2117 02:00:50.439 --> 02:00:52.880 Well, there's I mean, there's opportunity built in a lot 2118 02:00:52.920 --> 02:00:56.079 of this, And I mean, depending on where you look. 2119 02:00:56.199 --> 02:00:57.760 If you read the Wall Street Journal, we're all going 2120 02:00:57.800 --> 02:00:59.920 to die because tariff suck. And that's just the general 2121 02:01:00.000 --> 02:01:03.760 impression that they have. But there's been a lot of 2122 02:01:03.840 --> 02:01:07.520 sort of bright spots in this that major companies, multi 2123 02:01:07.640 --> 02:01:11.600 billion dollar companies are planning on building here and moving 2124 02:01:11.800 --> 02:01:15.560 production here. Like for example, there's a terrible situation going 2125 02:01:15.600 --> 02:01:17.720 if you haven't read about it, between China and Taiwan, 2126 02:01:17.840 --> 02:01:19.920 and it looks like, you know, China's gonna invade any moment, 2127 02:01:19.920 --> 02:01:21.640 at least it's always seen that way for the past 2128 02:01:21.680 --> 02:01:24.319 couple of years. But all the major chip production is 2129 02:01:24.359 --> 02:01:26.640 being done in Taiwan. Sounds me like going to start 2130 02:01:26.640 --> 02:01:29.520 bringing chip production here to the United States. So ultimately 2131 02:01:29.600 --> 02:01:33.199 we can benefit by this. It's not going to be immediate. 2132 02:01:33.279 --> 02:01:34.800 We're gonna have to wait for it because you just 2133 02:01:34.840 --> 02:01:37.840 don't create a chip factory overnight. But if we ultimately, 2134 02:01:38.439 --> 02:01:41.000 you know, have some domestic supply for some things that 2135 02:01:41.119 --> 02:01:43.520 we haven't had for a long time, isn't that ultimately 2136 02:01:43.600 --> 02:01:44.880 good for us over the long term. 2137 02:01:46.000 --> 02:01:48.319 Yeah, that is the hope, And we had some of 2138 02:01:48.399 --> 02:01:51.359 that was rolling forward. There are two chip factories southeast 2139 02:01:51.399 --> 02:01:55.359 of Columbus that are that are under construction. Unfortunately that 2140 02:01:55.560 --> 02:01:59.600 hit there recently, that hit the news hit not too 2141 02:01:59.680 --> 02:02:02.640 long ago. That Intel, who was behind that, is coming 2142 02:02:02.720 --> 02:02:05.199 on some hard times, partially because of the technology that 2143 02:02:05.279 --> 02:02:09.800 they provide. That another chip company, AMDs, maybe has some 2144 02:02:09.880 --> 02:02:11.880 better ideas in that space, and that news hit at 2145 02:02:12.199 --> 02:02:14.439 an unfortunate time a couple of maybe a year year 2146 02:02:14.439 --> 02:02:16.359 and a half ago where that started to come to light. 2147 02:02:16.760 --> 02:02:20.079 And so those two plants are sometimes in question. I 2148 02:02:20.119 --> 02:02:22.640 cannot imagine they're going to walk away from them in mothballum, 2149 02:02:23.079 --> 02:02:25.600 but they're not as moving forward with as much gusto 2150 02:02:25.720 --> 02:02:27.760 as they originally were. But that all came from the 2151 02:02:27.840 --> 02:02:31.000 original idea. It originally started with national security. We can't 2152 02:02:31.079 --> 02:02:35.880 keep buying chips from overseas not knowing exactly what our enemies, 2153 02:02:36.119 --> 02:02:39.680 speaking specifically of China are putting into those chips, the 2154 02:02:39.760 --> 02:02:42.239 influence that they have, and if they managed to take 2155 02:02:42.279 --> 02:02:44.000 over Taiwan, like you were just hinting, well, that's where 2156 02:02:44.000 --> 02:02:47.079 most of the chips come from anyway, from Taiwan's semiconductor 2157 02:02:47.079 --> 02:02:48.720 although some of the plants are here in the United 2158 02:02:48.760 --> 02:02:51.039 States as well. But yes, that is definitely one of 2159 02:02:51.079 --> 02:02:54.000 the goals. It's not going to happen overnight. And when 2160 02:02:54.039 --> 02:02:57.800 we've got interest rates bouncing around, inflation and tariffs and 2161 02:02:57.800 --> 02:02:59.840 all that kind of stuff, companies are going to be 2162 02:03:00.079 --> 02:03:03.279 hesitant to make such a massive, massive investment to bring 2163 02:03:03.359 --> 02:03:05.479 one of these huge plants online in the United States, 2164 02:03:05.520 --> 02:03:07.560 if they were turning the first shovel full of dirt 2165 02:03:07.840 --> 02:03:10.520 over today, it would probably be three years before they 2166 02:03:10.560 --> 02:03:13.439 could start producing something with any kind of regularity. So 2167 02:03:13.560 --> 02:03:14.960 we need some clarity here. 2168 02:03:15.600 --> 02:03:17.840 Well, definitely need some clarity, and it doesn't look like 2169 02:03:17.920 --> 02:03:22.560 it's going to be coming any times soon. We demand 2170 02:03:22.760 --> 02:03:25.800 instant answers and instant gratification and even in the markets, 2171 02:03:25.840 --> 02:03:28.000 and quite awful, we don't get that. We're going to 2172 02:03:28.039 --> 02:03:29.640 find out if we should be looking at our four 2173 02:03:29.640 --> 02:03:33.439 oh one cas is this a good buying opportunity notwithstanding volatility? 2174 02:03:33.479 --> 02:03:35.439 And we'll talk about the FED and which direction the 2175 02:03:35.520 --> 02:03:38.319 rates are going to go more with Brian James after 2176 02:03:38.359 --> 02:03:40.520 a quick word here for affordable imaging services. Got my 2177 02:03:40.640 --> 02:03:43.359 CT scan a couple of weeks ago. Oh, that's actually 2178 02:03:43.399 --> 02:03:45.039 been more of than a couple of weeks. But you know, 2179 02:03:45.760 --> 02:03:48.880 everything went great. The CT scan int Affordable Imaging Services 2180 02:03:49.000 --> 02:03:51.239 was great. My doctor read it and interpreted it, and 2181 02:03:51.319 --> 02:03:53.479 while my lift notes did grow a little bit, not 2182 02:03:53.640 --> 02:03:55.479 so much that I need to get treatment. So overall 2183 02:03:55.600 --> 02:03:59.159 the results were good. But my point is with Affordable 2184 02:03:59.199 --> 02:04:03.800 Imaging Services, I paid a mere fraction for that CT scan, 2185 02:04:03.880 --> 02:04:06.399 which could have set me back five grand at a hospital. 2186 02:04:06.720 --> 02:04:09.399 You get a CT scan without a contrast for four 2187 02:04:09.520 --> 02:04:12.239 hundred and fifty bucks at Affordable Imaging Services six hundred 2188 02:04:12.239 --> 02:04:15.640 with a contrast.

Just nice echo cardigram. Sure, wait 2191 02:04:23.039 --> 02:04:25.039 around a month maybe more to get in the hospital 2192 02:04:25.079 --> 02:04:28.359 at Echo cardigram department.

We talked about market volatility. I understand 2207 02:05:11.840 --> 02:05:15.920 why it's there, but obviously market volatility impacts our four 2208 02:05:15.960 --> 02:05:18.199 to oh one K. And something I never do is 2209 02:05:18.319 --> 02:05:20.039 jack where my four to oh one K is at 2210 02:05:20.119 --> 02:05:22.520 least you know, with the exception of my twice annual 2211 02:05:23.039 --> 02:05:25.840 visits with my financial planner. I mean, I lived through 2212 02:05:25.880 --> 02:05:28.479 the COVID nineteen downturn. I saw at one point how 2213 02:05:28.560 --> 02:05:31.159 much I lost and lo and behold, if you wait 2214 02:05:31.199 --> 02:05:33.279 around long enough, it all comes back and then you 2215 02:05:33.399 --> 02:05:36.520 end up having more, which is exactly what happened with me. 2216 02:05:36.760 --> 02:05:39.720 So I like to avoid the headache and the heartburn 2217 02:05:39.760 --> 02:05:41.640 and everything might go along with it, because you know, 2218 02:05:41.840 --> 02:05:46.239 until you sell, you haven't really made or lost, right Brian, 2219 02:05:46.399 --> 02:05:48.239 So should we be looking at our four to one 2220 02:05:48.359 --> 02:05:49.159 K balances? 2221 02:05:50.239 --> 02:05:50.439 Yeah? 2222 02:05:50.560 --> 02:05:53.600 Well, hopefully you're looking at it and seeing that it's 2223 02:05:53.680 --> 02:05:55.399 not as bad as you thought it was going to be. 2224 02:05:55.560 --> 02:05:57.720 And the reason I say that is because hopefully this 2225 02:05:57.880 --> 02:06:00.199 isn't the first time you've looked at it. So you're 2226 02:06:00.279 --> 02:06:03.359 doing things the right way, and you have looked at 2227 02:06:03.399 --> 02:06:06.600 what your ultimate goals are and you understand some market history. 2228 02:06:06.960 --> 02:06:10.840 Then hopefully that decision resulted in a diversified portfolio that 2229 02:06:10.880 --> 02:06:13.279 owns just a little bit of everything. Every four roh 2230 02:06:13.319 --> 02:06:15.079 and K out there has enough where you can build 2231 02:06:15.119 --> 02:06:17.039 a set it and forget it type of a portfolio 2232 02:06:17.159 --> 02:06:18.960 and do just what Brian Thomas is doing, which is 2233 02:06:19.039 --> 02:06:21.000 look at it a couple times a year. It's not 2234 02:06:21.319 --> 02:06:24.119 money that you're gonna need tomorrow. If that is the case, 2235 02:06:24.159 --> 02:06:26.640 then you already screwed up before four oh and K 2236 02:06:26.880 --> 02:06:28.640 is your only source of wealth. That's a problem. That 2237 02:06:28.680 --> 02:06:30.159 means you have no cash, you got no oil in 2238 02:06:30.199 --> 02:06:31.880 the engine, and that kind of thing. This should be 2239 02:06:31.960 --> 02:06:34.880 the money that's out there for at least five, ten, 2240 02:06:35.000 --> 02:06:37.760 even fifteen years to help you fight off inflation. And 2241 02:06:37.840 --> 02:06:40.279 if you look at any chart, any chart of the 2242 02:06:40.279 --> 02:06:43.159 stock market over the last thirty years, then you will 2243 02:06:43.239 --> 02:06:46.520 notice it goes one direction. That direction is up. However, 2244 02:06:46.720 --> 02:06:48.880 we have our our little head fakes every now and then. 2245 02:06:48.920 --> 02:06:50.720 I remember when I first started in this industry, was 2246 02:06:50.760 --> 02:06:54.199 nineteen ninety seven, and the Russian ruble collapsed in ninety eight, 2247 02:06:54.479 --> 02:06:56.560 and then we had something called Long Term Capital's a 2248 02:06:56.600 --> 02:07:00.439 hedge fund that collapsed. I remember thinking, in my youthful stupidity, 2249 02:07:00.760 --> 02:07:03.479 oh my gosh, this time it's different. I'm special, I'm 2250 02:07:03.520 --> 02:07:06.439 scared now, So now this one counts and in the 2251 02:07:06.560 --> 02:07:07.880 end and the end, it doesn't matter. It's just a 2252 02:07:07.960 --> 02:07:11.119 reshuffling of the deck and different leaders will to take 2253 02:07:11.159 --> 02:07:13.239 the move to the forefront. Shortly after that we had 2254 02:07:13.279 --> 02:07:16.159 the huge technology boom. All of it became a catalyst. 2255 02:07:16.399 --> 02:07:19.119 Whenever there's some kind of panic in the market, somebody 2256 02:07:19.199 --> 02:07:21.920 takes advantage of the opportunity to drive things further. As 2257 02:07:21.960 --> 02:07:24.279 we hinted out in the earlier segment, right now, it 2258 02:07:24.319 --> 02:07:26.800 appears to be the international stocks are going to take 2259 02:07:26.800 --> 02:07:28.880 the lead for a while. So far, that's been the case. 2260 02:07:28.960 --> 02:07:31.520 If you don't own any it's not helping you, and 2261 02:07:31.600 --> 02:07:34.159 you will feel targeted by the market. Market doesn't care 2262 02:07:34.159 --> 02:07:36.920 about you. It only cares about about what it can 2263 02:07:36.960 --> 02:07:39.159 see forward. And right now, that's not very much. So 2264 02:07:39.359 --> 02:07:41.760 make sure that your portfolio is at least spread out 2265 02:07:41.760 --> 02:07:44.359 across these different things so that as things have been flow, 2266 02:07:44.439 --> 02:07:46.439 you'll benefit from it, but you don't take it on 2267 02:07:46.520 --> 02:07:48.560 the chin if something completely falls apart. 2268 02:07:48.880 --> 02:07:51.840 Well, and there's you know, conservative investing, and then there's 2269 02:07:52.039 --> 02:07:55.399 you know, riskier investing. You know, obviously with risk you're investing. 2270 02:07:55.479 --> 02:07:57.520 The idea of getting a bigger return is always there. 2271 02:07:57.880 --> 02:08:00.319 You know, every time I meet with financial and there's 2272 02:08:00.319 --> 02:08:03.760 always that one fund like twenty five percent return, and 2273 02:08:03.760 --> 02:08:05.399 you're like, damn it, I wish I had put more 2274 02:08:05.479 --> 02:08:07.960 in there in that one because look this one over 2275 02:08:08.000 --> 02:08:11.720 here only got me four percent return. How often should 2276 02:08:11.800 --> 02:08:15.319 we be adjusting the different funds that we're in or 2277 02:08:15.560 --> 02:08:17.600 is that something that we shouldn't be doing very often? 2278 02:08:17.640 --> 02:08:20.199 Does depend on where we are in our life close 2279 02:08:20.239 --> 02:08:22.640 to retirement. What's the story on that? Ran? 2280 02:08:23.520 --> 02:08:26.000 Yeah, great question. So how often if I shouldn't be 2281 02:08:26.039 --> 02:08:27.520 in there every day goof around with it, well, then 2282 02:08:27.560 --> 02:08:28.560 should I never look at it? 2283 02:08:28.640 --> 02:08:28.760 Now? 2284 02:08:28.840 --> 02:08:31.119 The answer the answer to that is I'd say maybe 2285 02:08:31.439 --> 02:08:34.520 maybe once a year to really get under the hood 2286 02:08:34.720 --> 02:08:38.319 and make sure that you have what you need. Generally speaking, 2287 02:08:38.520 --> 02:08:41.439 once properly diversified, A four oh one K will usually 2288 02:08:41.520 --> 02:08:43.600 pretty much stay in balance. A boy the way four 2289 02:08:43.600 --> 02:08:44.960 oh one K, four oh three B. You might have 2290 02:08:44.960 --> 02:08:47.359 a step I, RA whatever, which we're referring to your 2291 02:08:47.399 --> 02:08:50.960 employer retirement plan that you were probably putting money into 2292 02:08:51.119 --> 02:08:53.479 every week, every two weeks, every month, or however often 2293 02:08:53.520 --> 02:08:57.439 you get paid. That inflow, that constant inflow of cash 2294 02:08:57.840 --> 02:09:00.560 tends to keep it in balance. If you balance that once, 2295 02:09:00.880 --> 02:09:02.520 you know, a year ago, and you put a bunch 2296 02:09:02.520 --> 02:09:04.520 of money and left it all alone, it's probably still 2297 02:09:04.640 --> 02:09:06.800 reasonably in bounced. I'm not talking about the you know, 2298 02:09:06.880 --> 02:09:08.920 the dollar amounts. The dollar amount could actually be down, 2299 02:09:08.960 --> 02:09:10.640 of course because of where the market is, But I'm 2300 02:09:10.680 --> 02:09:13.520 talking about the different sizes of the various positions you 2301 02:09:13.720 --> 02:09:17.520 hold in that retirement plan. That constant inflow from payroll 2302 02:09:17.960 --> 02:09:19.920 tends to keep the whole thing in balance. Because if 2303 02:09:19.960 --> 02:09:23.640 something's taking a beating, then it meaning it's down more 2304 02:09:23.680 --> 02:09:25.720 than everything else in the portfolio. Well, you've just bought 2305 02:09:25.840 --> 02:09:27.880 more shares of it because you have put the same 2306 02:09:28.039 --> 02:09:31.319 fixed dollar amount in every pay period as you've been 2307 02:09:31.359 --> 02:09:34.159 doing for years, So that tends to again keep it 2308 02:09:34.239 --> 02:09:36.000 in bounced. So it shouldn't be too far out of whack. 2309 02:09:36.239 --> 02:09:36.359 Now. 2310 02:09:36.439 --> 02:09:38.279 On the other hand, if you notice that it is 2311 02:09:38.399 --> 02:09:40.800 way out of balance, I would really be looking under 2312 02:09:40.840 --> 02:09:42.760 the hood for how did that happen? And it's not 2313 02:09:42.840 --> 02:09:44.319 so much about what do I have to fix right now. 2314 02:09:44.560 --> 02:09:46.560 It's more about, Okay, let's the next time we go 2315 02:09:46.640 --> 02:09:48.720 through a crazy cycle like this, and granted we're in 2316 02:09:48.760 --> 02:09:50.159 the middle of this one, but the next time it 2317 02:09:50.199 --> 02:09:52.399 comes around, how should I make some changes now so 2318 02:09:52.520 --> 02:09:54.640 that I don't hit that roller coaster later. And it's 2319 02:09:54.720 --> 02:09:56.920 not about never losing.

Very 2391 02:13:17.479 --> 02:13:20.520 happy Monday to you one more with Brian James doing 2392 02:13:20.560 --> 02:13:24.319 that money Monday thing. In terms of buying opportunity, I 2393 02:13:24.560 --> 02:13:26.680 would think, you know, if you're investing for the long term, 2394 02:13:26.800 --> 02:13:29.680 it's always a buying opportunity where the market's up or 2395 02:13:29.720 --> 02:13:31.479 down as long as you get your money invested. So 2396 02:13:31.640 --> 02:13:35.279 what's the story now with this volatility? And and I 2397 02:13:35.319 --> 02:13:37.880 guess leading us to a conversation about which direction the 2398 02:13:37.920 --> 02:13:39.479 Fed is going to go with rates? And then my 2399 02:13:39.640 --> 02:13:43.039 question about bonds always the safest investment, but is that 2400 02:13:43.159 --> 02:13:44.760 always going to be the case? We got all these 2401 02:13:44.840 --> 02:13:47.640 international trade disputes going on in China owns a lot 2402 02:13:47.720 --> 02:13:49.439 of our debt in the form of bonds, and what 2403 02:13:49.560 --> 02:13:51.199 if they quit, you know, buying them. 2404 02:13:52.880 --> 02:13:55.239 Yeah, there are lots of concerns out there, and we 2405 02:13:55.319 --> 02:13:57.039 are kind of shuffling the decks in terms of what 2406 02:13:57.119 --> 02:14:00.439 we what we view as risky versus not. To address 2407 02:14:00.439 --> 02:14:02.800 your first question, yeah, I'm not a believer at all, 2408 02:14:02.960 --> 02:14:06.359 Brian in market timing. And so when we say is 2409 02:14:06.399 --> 02:14:08.000 this a buying opportunity, should I put some of my 2410 02:14:08.079 --> 02:14:10.359 cash to work? My first question to that person is 2411 02:14:10.399 --> 02:14:12.159 going to be, well, what has your cash been doing? 2412 02:14:12.439 --> 02:14:14.399 Have you been sitting on a pile of cash waiting 2413 02:14:14.520 --> 02:14:15.319 for this? 2414 02:14:15.800 --> 02:14:15.960 You know? 2415 02:14:16.199 --> 02:14:17.800 If so, then yeah, absolutely put it to work. But 2416 02:14:17.840 --> 02:14:19.720 I'd have told you that in December two before we 2417 02:14:20.079 --> 02:14:22.000 kind of hit the skids, because again I don't believe 2418 02:14:22.000 --> 02:14:23.680 in market timing at all. You can be right nine 2419 02:14:23.720 --> 02:14:25.439 times in a row and be wrong the tenth time 2420 02:14:25.520 --> 02:14:27.880 you go right back to the beginning. So what I 2421 02:14:27.920 --> 02:14:30.279 will throw out there Brian, though, is this can be 2422 02:14:30.760 --> 02:14:33.319 just to kind of think a little differently about this 2423 02:14:33.760 --> 02:14:36.720 a buying opportunity, yes, but also for some people in 2424 02:14:36.760 --> 02:14:39.800 the right situation, it could be a conversion opportunity. And 2425 02:14:39.880 --> 02:14:41.319 what I'm getting at there is if you have a 2426 02:14:41.439 --> 02:14:43.720 huge pile of money on your pre tax side, your 2427 02:14:43.720 --> 02:14:46.079 four oh and K, your iras, the traditional side of 2428 02:14:46.159 --> 02:14:48.359 things that has never been taxed before, but is going 2429 02:14:48.439 --> 02:14:49.920 to get the daylights kicked out of it by the 2430 02:14:49.960 --> 02:14:52.439 time you reach age seventy three to seventy five, depending 2431 02:14:52.479 --> 02:14:55.079 on how old you are now, then this while the 2432 02:14:55.119 --> 02:14:57.239 market is down, can be a great time to go 2433 02:14:57.319 --> 02:14:59.960 ahead and take some of that cash and tay time 2434 02:15:00.359 --> 02:15:04.680 with it. Convert your traditional IRA to WROTH and from 2435 02:15:04.760 --> 02:15:06.800 then on, as we recover, from then on, those games 2436 02:15:06.840 --> 02:15:08.640 are going to be tax free. You're going to reduce 2437 02:15:08.680 --> 02:15:11.479 your require minimum distributions, You're going to reduce the tax 2438 02:15:11.560 --> 02:15:13.800 hit down the road. So on one hand, yeah, when 2439 02:15:13.800 --> 02:15:15.680 the market's down, is it a buying opportunity. Yeah, that's 2440 02:15:15.680 --> 02:15:17.640 pretty much always the case because eventually it turns around 2441 02:15:17.680 --> 02:15:19.439 goes back up. But I think what people need to 2442 02:15:19.479 --> 02:15:22.119 be looking at more is not only you know, for 2443 02:15:22.199 --> 02:15:25.720 buying opportunities, but can I rearrange my tax situation? How 2444 02:15:25.800 --> 02:15:28.439 what's in this opportunity for me to kind of benefit 2445 02:15:28.520 --> 02:15:30.760 and again never pay taxes again. There's a lot of 2446 02:15:30.800 --> 02:15:32.880 moving parts to that, but I think that's something that 2447 02:15:33.159 --> 02:15:35.640 this generation of retirees ought to start to learn more about. 2448 02:15:36.239 --> 02:15:38.920 Is there any limitation to converting to ROTH, I mean, 2449 02:15:39.039 --> 02:15:42.399 like financial limitations or earnings or anything like that, or 2450 02:15:42.479 --> 02:15:44.000 is just something that anybody can do? 2451 02:15:45.119 --> 02:15:47.199 Yeah, that's the great thing about it. So what we 2452 02:15:47.520 --> 02:15:50.439 tend to think about roth irais as being somewhat limited 2453 02:15:50.720 --> 02:15:54.159 because I can only make so much money to contribute, right. However, 2454 02:15:54.239 --> 02:15:56.359 that is not the case when it comes to converting 2455 02:15:56.439 --> 02:16:01.000 a conversion is not a contribution conversion. I'm taking money 2456 02:16:01.039 --> 02:16:04.600 that is already inside of an IRA and I'm converting 2457 02:16:04.640 --> 02:16:06.520 it from the pretax side to the ross side. There 2458 02:16:06.600 --> 02:16:08.720 is no income limit. The only thing you got to 2459 02:16:08.760 --> 02:16:11.239 deal with is what are the taxes that you'll pay. 2460 02:16:11.640 --> 02:16:13.720 You have to take that conversion amount, add it to 2461 02:16:13.840 --> 02:16:16.880 your your other sources income. You also want to be careful. 2462 02:16:17.039 --> 02:16:18.760 You know, if you're close to Medicare age, then it 2463 02:16:18.840 --> 02:16:22.439 could factor into driving your Medicare premiums a little higher. 2464 02:16:22.439 --> 02:16:24.239 But a married couple can get up to two hundred 2465 02:16:24.239 --> 02:16:26.960 and ten thousand dollars of income before that's an issue. 2466 02:16:27.199 --> 02:16:30.039 Single person one hundred thousand dollars. But if you've got 2467 02:16:30.119 --> 02:16:32.440 the ability to do that, it can't even be worth 2468 02:16:32.520 --> 02:16:34.559 taking that hit when you look at the fifteen to 2469 02:16:34.600 --> 02:16:36.239 twenty year impact of a decision like. 2470 02:16:36.280 --> 02:16:38.879 This, all right now, pivoting over before we part company 2471 02:16:38.879 --> 02:16:43.079 to day Brian James fed interest rates, which were you 2472 02:16:43.159 --> 02:16:44.959 sensing the direction you're going to go? They're going to 2473 02:16:45.000 --> 02:16:47.280 remain the same go up, go down. Where are we 2474 02:16:47.399 --> 02:16:47.559 on that? 2475 02:16:48.440 --> 02:16:48.479 So? 2476 02:16:48.840 --> 02:16:51.319 Yeah, as of right now, So to fetch our Powell 2477 02:16:51.399 --> 02:16:53.159 talk last week and said the federal reserve is going 2478 02:16:53.200 --> 02:16:55.520 to stand down in any rate moves for the time being. Again, 2479 02:16:55.639 --> 02:16:59.280 waiting for greater clarity was the quote that he used. 2480 02:16:59.280 --> 02:17:01.280 So we've been talking about that all morning. He's got 2481 02:17:01.319 --> 02:17:03.399 the same problem that we do. We simply can't see 2482 02:17:03.440 --> 02:17:04.360 that far into the future. 2483 02:17:05.639 --> 02:17:07.760 Well, are there any reports coming out and that might 2484 02:17:07.920 --> 02:17:10.079 shed some light on which direction they're going to go, 2485 02:17:10.120 --> 02:17:11.600 because I think a lot of people are looking for 2486 02:17:11.639 --> 02:17:15.520 a little relief in terms of like home mortgage interest rates. 2487 02:17:16.520 --> 02:17:18.239 Right so that that's where we would want to see it. 2488 02:17:18.319 --> 02:17:22.239 But unfortunately consumers are still spending. We really haven't, you know, 2489 02:17:22.280 --> 02:17:24.239 we're still in the same mode that we were before. 2490 02:17:24.719 --> 02:17:27.520 And so right now the chair Powell is not seeing 2491 02:17:27.639 --> 02:17:31.920 a reason to put another cut in place because because 2492 02:17:31.959 --> 02:17:34.040 of the clarity, he can't see in the future any 2493 02:17:34.079 --> 02:17:37.959 further than we can. And the idea that I believe 2494 02:17:38.040 --> 02:17:40.319 underlying all this is his concern that inflation is going 2495 02:17:40.399 --> 02:17:42.920 to come back quickly if we drop interest rates, because 2496 02:17:42.959 --> 02:17:46.920 we simply seem to have that ability still to run 2497 02:17:46.959 --> 02:17:48.920 the economy a little faster than it should be whenever 2498 02:17:49.000 --> 02:17:51.479 there's an opportunity such as lower interest rates, and he 2499 02:17:51.559 --> 02:17:54.719 does not want inflation to come roaring back. You know, 2500 02:17:54.840 --> 02:17:57.520 despite what the President says. President doesn't like him a 2501 02:17:57.520 --> 02:17:59.079 whole lot. But it's not going to be very easy 2502 02:17:59.159 --> 02:18:02.319 for for Trump to do anything directly with Powell. But 2503 02:18:02.440 --> 02:18:05.079 at this point we're kind of in a holding pattern unfortunately. 2504 02:18:05.319 --> 02:18:08.159 Well, and going back to our initial conversation about tariffs, 2505 02:18:08.280 --> 02:18:11.760 that they may very well have an inflationary impact just 2506 02:18:11.879 --> 02:18:14.319 in and of themselves, regardless of you know, simple laws 2507 02:18:14.360 --> 02:18:16.200 of supplying demand. If you're going to tear iff something, 2508 02:18:16.239 --> 02:18:19.319 it's going to go up in price. Yeah, that's we're 2509 02:18:19.360 --> 02:18:21.319 simply layering more cost onto something. 2510 02:18:21.639 --> 02:18:23.959 And you know we can't view this. We're going to 2511 02:18:24.040 --> 02:18:26.399 make these other countries pay these arffs. Well, that's just 2512 02:18:26.520 --> 02:18:28.440 not how it works. That's like saying, you know, a 2513 02:18:28.559 --> 02:18:32.079 landlord is or a landlord is simply going to eat 2514 02:18:32.159 --> 02:18:34.280 the increase in property taxes. No they're not. They're going 2515 02:18:34.360 --> 02:18:36.799 to increase the rents on their renters. It all gets 2516 02:18:36.799 --> 02:18:39.000 passed down to the consumer. That's the difference between a 2517 02:18:39.040 --> 02:18:41.639 consumer and a producer. Consumer is at the bottom of 2518 02:18:41.680 --> 02:18:44.159 the pile and has to eat whatever the changes are. Ultimately, 2519 02:18:44.440 --> 02:18:46.639 now those companies can be hurt one way or another. 2520 02:18:46.719 --> 02:18:49.159 Because they you know, maybe consumers look the other way, 2521 02:18:49.200 --> 02:18:51.159 look for different opportunities. And that goes back to what 2522 02:18:51.239 --> 02:18:54.760 we were saying before about international stocks outperforming. There are 2523 02:18:54.799 --> 02:18:57.760 countries out there who aren't going through this and have 2524 02:18:57.920 --> 02:19:00.399 the capability to produce some of the goods and certaviss 2525 02:19:00.639 --> 02:19:03.440 that in the United States are current for United States 2526 02:19:03.479 --> 02:19:05.840 consumers are currently going to be affected by the tariffs. 2527 02:19:06.079 --> 02:19:08.639 So those companies have a great opportunity in front of 2528 02:19:08.680 --> 02:19:10.159 them because they don't have those hurdles. 2529 02:19:10.680 --> 02:19:13.879 Fair enough, Brian James, always enjoy our conversations. Very important 2530 02:19:13.959 --> 02:19:18.639 and uh interesting information and h I think solid advice 2531 02:19:18.840 --> 02:19:21.040 as always like to point that out. Get yourself a 2532 02:19:21.079 --> 02:19:24.360 financial planner and take the weight off your own shoulders. 2533 02:19:24.399 --> 02:19:26.520 Brian James, We'll look forward to next Monday in an 2534 02:19:26.520 --> 02:19:28.479 audition of Monday.

My next guest Breitbart's Francis Martel. She's 2539 02:19:40.360 --> 02:19:43.319 the international editor. She'll be on next after I mentioned 2540 02:19:43.440 --> 02:19:45.440 you know, well, real estate agents and the best real 2541 02:19:45.520 --> 02:19:47.159 estate agents in town. You're not going to find a 2542 02:19:47.239 --> 02:19:50.200 better team. Peter Shabrie Group of Colorwiams seven Hills, some 2543 02:19:50.360 --> 02:19:53.120 of the finest agents around in offering programs that nobody 2544 02:19:53.159 --> 02:19:56.000 else is offering, and the only agents I would ever 2545 02:19:56.159 --> 02:20:00.239 trust to buy or sell a home. Guaranteed about this. 2546 02:20:01.200 --> 02:20:03.879 You sit down with Peter Shabri, you agree on a 2547 02:20:03.959 --> 02:20:07.120 price and a timeline with Peter's team at the outset, 2548 02:20:07.440 --> 02:20:09.959 and if they don't sell your home at that price 2549 02:20:10.120 --> 02:20:12.840 and by that time, Peter will buy it at they'll 2550 02:20:12.879 --> 02:20:18.280 agreed upon price.

But at least you know you've 2555 02:20:27.680 --> 02:20:30.920 got a finite time and an agreed upon price. Peter 2556 02:20:31.000 --> 02:20:32.840 will buy it if it's not sold by that time. 2557 02:20:33.120 --> 02:20:34.639 Just one of the many programs that they offer and 2558 02:20:34.760 --> 02:20:36.479 nobody else is doing.

Francis, welcome back to the fifty five KC 2575 02:21:26.040 --> 02:21:27.159 Morning Show. It's great to have you on. 2576 02:21:28.319 --> 02:21:29.360 Thank you so much for having me. 2577 02:21:29.879 --> 02:21:33.040 Not all is Rosie in China. I get the impression, 2578 02:21:33.120 --> 02:21:36.479 I mean, we get this. I mean I worry about China. Obviously, 2579 02:21:36.680 --> 02:21:39.399 they you know, cracked into all our computer systems. They've 2580 02:21:39.479 --> 02:21:41.559 you know, interrupted it. They've got, you know, chips that 2581 02:21:41.639 --> 02:21:47.120 are have nefarious built in components to them. They're building 2582 02:21:47.239 --> 02:21:49.840 up their military in a very rapid pace. They always 2583 02:21:49.879 --> 02:21:53.079 are threatening to take over Taiwan. I mean, it just 2584 02:21:53.120 --> 02:21:56.360 seems like they're on a roll. And yet it's not 2585 02:21:56.520 --> 02:21:59.719 that Rosie in China, I understand, tell my listeners a 2586 02:21:59.719 --> 02:22:01.680 little about what you're gonna be talking about tomorrow night 2587 02:22:01.760 --> 02:22:02.520 at seven pm. 2588 02:22:03.840 --> 02:22:06.879 Absolutely, so you know, it doesn't feel like they're on 2589 02:22:07.040 --> 02:22:10.120 a role. When you look at just the general sentiment, 2590 02:22:10.239 --> 02:22:14.399 especially around young Chinese millennials and gen z, they are 2591 02:22:14.559 --> 02:22:17.840 very despondent about the future of the country. One of 2592 02:22:17.920 --> 02:22:20.799 the terms that they've been using on social media is 2593 02:22:20.879 --> 02:22:25.000 the phrase garbage time of history, which is garbage time 2594 02:22:25.079 --> 02:22:27.000 is a basketball term. It just means the end of 2595 02:22:27.040 --> 02:22:29.280 the basketball game where it's obvious one team is going 2596 02:22:29.319 --> 02:22:33.040 to win and nothing matters. They see the current time 2597 02:22:33.159 --> 02:22:36.479 period as that. But it's obvious America is going to 2598 02:22:36.559 --> 02:22:39.479 win and there's no point to the competition. So that's 2599 02:22:39.559 --> 02:22:42.200 the attitude from young Chinese, and a lot of that 2600 02:22:42.440 --> 02:22:45.200 is unemployment. A lot of that is the feeling that 2601 02:22:45.280 --> 02:22:47.840 they will never be able to own a house that 2602 02:22:47.959 --> 02:22:50.280 they won't have the money to get married or have kids. 2603 02:22:51.120 --> 02:22:54.159 The nine to nine six culture, which is the nine 2604 02:22:54.239 --> 02:22:56.520 nine six is a jack Ma term for ali baba, 2605 02:22:56.559 --> 02:22:59.479 and it basically needs nine am to nine pm, six 2606 02:22:59.600 --> 02:23:01.920 days a week. The idea that you're you don't have 2607 02:23:02.000 --> 02:23:06.120 a life outside of work, that attitude has really crushed 2608 02:23:07.000 --> 02:23:09.319 the idea that you can start a family in China, 2609 02:23:09.440 --> 02:23:13.120 and so there's all this frustration and kind of despondence 2610 02:23:13.239 --> 02:23:17.079 from from normal Chinese people, especially to Chinese youth. A 2611 02:23:17.159 --> 02:23:19.120 lot of them have moved back in with their parents. 2612 02:23:19.440 --> 02:23:22.840 They're young Chinese people pretending to have a job online 2613 02:23:23.000 --> 02:23:25.280 just so that their relatives don't bother them. But it's fake. 2614 02:23:25.440 --> 02:23:26.760 You know, they take a picture at a desk and 2615 02:23:26.799 --> 02:23:30.120 they pretend they're at work and they're unemployed. So it's 2616 02:23:30.200 --> 02:23:34.959 not it's not a great sentiment over there. And I 2617 02:23:35.040 --> 02:23:37.440 think with the with the incoming tariffs and all of that, 2618 02:23:38.319 --> 02:23:40.239 you know a lot of people here are feeling that, 2619 02:23:40.639 --> 02:23:42.520 you know, we're going to be affected so badly, And 2620 02:23:42.600 --> 02:23:45.760 the attitude of the Chinese government is that, you know, 2621 02:23:45.879 --> 02:23:49.239 they're they've survived three thousand years, their culture is so old, 2622 02:23:49.319 --> 02:23:51.879 we'll get through the tariffs. But the general sentiment among 2623 02:23:51.920 --> 02:23:53.959 young Chinese is that you know, they're they've. 2624 02:23:53.799 --> 02:23:58.120 Already lost you know, I I sound it sounds to 2625 02:23:58.159 --> 02:23:59.879 me like you can draw quite a few parallels with 2626 02:24:00.120 --> 02:24:01.959 happened with young people here in the United States. 2627 02:24:02.040 --> 02:24:07.360 Francis absolutely to an extreme extent, because at least we 2628 02:24:07.399 --> 02:24:11.559 can complain about it, right, and everyone knows. Everyone knows 2629 02:24:11.680 --> 02:24:14.920 how millennials feel about home ownership and health insurance and 2630 02:24:14.959 --> 02:24:18.799 building families and all that, because we're on you know, Instagram, 2631 02:24:18.920 --> 02:24:21.559 complaining all the time on Twitter. You can't do that 2632 02:24:21.680 --> 02:24:24.120 in China. If you say the wrong thing on Levo, 2633 02:24:24.680 --> 02:24:27.559 you're getting banned. Your social credit score goes down, and 2634 02:24:27.760 --> 02:24:29.399 if it goes down too low, you can't even take 2635 02:24:29.440 --> 02:24:33.040 a train. So they are also silent, and that repression 2636 02:24:33.520 --> 02:24:37.440 adds to the general feeling of hopelessness that that doesn't 2637 02:24:37.639 --> 02:24:38.879 really serve the. 2638 02:24:38.920 --> 02:24:42.959 Government well, and that seems to be a natural human reaction. 2639 02:24:43.239 --> 02:24:46.360 If everything you say is scrutinized by your lords and 2640 02:24:46.479 --> 02:24:49.280 masters within the Chinese Communist Party and you do have 2641 02:24:49.360 --> 02:24:53.719 a social credit score, that concept in and of itself 2642 02:24:53.760 --> 02:24:56.719 has got to be disheartening. And I would imagine induces 2643 02:24:57.280 --> 02:25:02.200 perhaps some rebellion or anger within the Chinese people, absolutely, 2644 02:25:02.280 --> 02:25:02.520 and we. 2645 02:25:02.639 --> 02:25:05.959 Saw a lot of that in twenty twenty two, in 2646 02:25:06.079 --> 02:25:09.840 late twenty twenty two where we saw these protests, and 2647 02:25:09.959 --> 02:25:13.639 that was partly because of the COVID lockdowns where you know, 2648 02:25:13.760 --> 02:25:15.760 we had it pretty bad here in twenty twenty We 2649 02:25:15.840 --> 02:25:17.879 had some lockdowns in the Northeast and you know in 2650 02:25:17.959 --> 02:25:20.239 the Blue States, but in China it was you know, 2651 02:25:20.399 --> 02:25:22.719 they were welding people shut in their homes. They the 2652 02:25:22.799 --> 02:25:25.360 police did not let you out. If you didn't have food, 2653 02:25:25.440 --> 02:25:28.639 you just starved in parts of China in your house. 2654 02:25:28.680 --> 02:25:31.639 So it was very, very repressive, and that triggered a 2655 02:25:31.719 --> 02:25:34.600 wave of protests, and the most impressive ones to me 2656 02:25:34.639 --> 02:25:37.879 were the white paper protests, where young Chinese people would 2657 02:25:37.879 --> 02:25:40.719 go out and they would hold up protest signs, but 2658 02:25:40.799 --> 02:25:43.760 they were completely blank because they knew if they said anything, 2659 02:25:44.200 --> 02:25:46.200 it doesn't matter what was on the sign, they would 2660 02:25:46.200 --> 02:25:48.200 be arrested for it. So they were daring police to 2661 02:25:48.360 --> 02:25:51.319 arrest them for holding up a blank protest signs, and 2662 02:25:51.399 --> 02:25:53.639 the police did arrest them. A lot of those people 2663 02:25:53.719 --> 02:25:55.360 were disappeared into the justice system. 2664 02:25:55.440 --> 02:25:56.600 We don't know what happened to them. 2665 02:25:57.440 --> 02:25:59.959 There was a young Chinese, I think a college student 2666 02:26:00.040 --> 02:26:04.079 who was arrested for reciting Shakespeare. How I compare each 2667 02:26:04.079 --> 02:26:07.239 to a Summer's Day, which is inherently a political but 2668 02:26:07.680 --> 02:26:11.040 you know, if you're celebrating Western literature in China, that's 2669 02:26:11.040 --> 02:26:13.920 already an active rebellion. So there was a lot of 2670 02:26:13.959 --> 02:26:17.920 that and that was crushed very violently. And so we 2671 02:26:18.040 --> 02:26:20.959 haven't seen a massive wave of protests like that. But 2672 02:26:21.159 --> 02:26:25.319 just last week in Changdu, someone posted a huge banner 2673 02:26:25.479 --> 02:26:28.920 across a bridge that said, you know, democracy is the 2674 02:26:29.040 --> 02:26:33.159 only answer. So people are still protesting. People are still 2675 02:26:33.239 --> 02:26:37.280 very actively protesting. It's just heavily repressed and a lot 2676 02:26:37.360 --> 02:26:40.479 of the bravest people have already been shepherded into prisons. 2677 02:26:40.719 --> 02:26:43.600 So you know that leadership vacuum is going to hurt 2678 02:26:43.600 --> 02:26:44.399 a protest movement. 2679 02:26:44.840 --> 02:26:49.840 So because of the you know, everything's electronic social media. 2680 02:26:49.879 --> 02:26:51.639 Of course, if you communicate on it, you're going to 2681 02:26:51.639 --> 02:26:53.479 be tracked and monitored. There's going to be a permanent 2682 02:26:53.520 --> 02:26:55.600 record of it. The Chinese Communist Party is looking at 2683 02:26:55.639 --> 02:26:59.600 everything that you're doing. This this I'm reminding you of 2684 02:26:59.680 --> 02:27:01.959 ten Square because I remember that, like it was yesterday, 2685 02:27:02.000 --> 02:27:04.239 there was this sort of hope built up that that 2686 02:27:04.360 --> 02:27:06.719 was going to lead them to some freedom and some democracy. 2687 02:27:06.879 --> 02:27:10.440 Obviously it was crushed, but that was pre social media. 2688 02:27:10.600 --> 02:27:13.959 That was an organic, organized thing, and there is there 2689 02:27:14.120 --> 02:27:17.319 a potential for that type of thing to crop up again. 2690 02:27:18.079 --> 02:27:21.360 But I mean, you know, an underground movement like people 2691 02:27:21.440 --> 02:27:24.719 actually you know, communicating just by voice as opposed to electronically, 2692 02:27:24.879 --> 02:27:28.360 that they can foment some sort of wider rebellion against 2693 02:27:28.399 --> 02:27:29.079 this repression. 2694 02:27:30.479 --> 02:27:33.000 I think that is happening to a certain extent. But 2695 02:27:33.200 --> 02:27:36.079 from a religious perspective, I think the Christian underground in 2696 02:27:36.239 --> 02:27:39.200 China's massive people who go to house churches because in 2697 02:27:39.319 --> 02:27:42.360 China Christianity is legal. There are two Christian churches that 2698 02:27:42.440 --> 02:27:45.680 are legal, the Chinese Catholic Church, which is severed from 2699 02:27:45.760 --> 02:27:49.079 the Vatican, and then the three self Patriotic Church, which 2700 02:27:49.159 --> 02:27:53.239 is basically Communist Party Protestantism. And if you go into 2701 02:27:53.239 --> 02:27:56.040 those churches, they don't even talk about Jesus. So the 2702 02:27:56.360 --> 02:27:59.360 actual Christians don't go to those churches. They pray at home, 2703 02:27:59.440 --> 02:28:02.239 which would be legal, and a lot of those people 2704 02:28:02.319 --> 02:28:05.399 have had their home bulldoze have been again disappeared into 2705 02:28:05.440 --> 02:28:08.959 the justice system. But that Christian underground that is very 2706 02:28:09.360 --> 02:28:13.200 you know, whispered. The meetings are quiet, they pray together 2707 02:28:13.239 --> 02:28:16.719 in silence. That has been growing significantly. There are estimates 2708 02:28:16.760 --> 02:28:18.879 that there are as many as one hundred million Christians 2709 02:28:18.920 --> 02:28:22.000 in China. So I think that is definitely a big 2710 02:28:22.040 --> 02:28:25.920 part of it. The protest movement, that was the secular 2711 02:28:26.040 --> 02:28:30.000 anti lockdown movement that still exists, but that has been 2712 02:28:30.079 --> 02:28:33.719 crushed by hopelessness. And there's this also this trend among 2713 02:28:33.799 --> 02:28:37.360 millennials and gen z called lying flat, which essentially means, 2714 02:28:37.760 --> 02:28:40.399 you know, don't have any career ambition, don't get married, 2715 02:28:40.440 --> 02:28:43.440 don't have kids, do nothing because anything you do serves 2716 02:28:43.520 --> 02:28:43.920 the party. 2717 02:28:44.719 --> 02:28:45.040 And that. 2718 02:28:46.600 --> 02:28:51.159 That definitely hurts the protest attitude, right. That feeds into 2719 02:28:51.200 --> 02:28:53.959 this idea that there's no hope in doing anything. America 2720 02:28:54.040 --> 02:28:56.399 is going to win the Cold War, and there's no 2721 02:28:56.559 --> 02:28:59.280 point in trying to fix our government. So that's that's 2722 02:28:59.319 --> 02:29:04.079 a big hurdle to getting people into an active organization 2723 02:29:04.399 --> 02:29:06.280 to protest and try to get changed. 2724 02:29:06.440 --> 02:29:08.479 But I'm reminded of Atlas Shrug. You know, if you 2725 02:29:08.559 --> 02:29:11.360 just don't participate and refuse to, you know, provide your 2726 02:29:11.520 --> 02:29:15.120 labor and your brilliance to the Chinese Communist Party and 2727 02:29:15.159 --> 02:29:18.360 people just sort of quit. If that movement were to 2728 02:29:18.440 --> 02:29:20.639 get large enough that kind have a profound. 2729 02:29:20.360 --> 02:29:23.959 Impact, Yes, and it has. You know, if you look 2730 02:29:24.000 --> 02:29:27.879 at the population trends in China, the birth rate is collapsing. Yeah, 2731 02:29:28.120 --> 02:29:30.440 no one wants to have kids. And not only does 2732 02:29:30.440 --> 02:29:32.360 does no one want to have kids, there aren't enough 2733 02:29:32.440 --> 02:29:35.360 women of child bearing age because of the one child's 2734 02:29:35.360 --> 02:29:39.079 pop So it's thirty five million more men than women. 2735 02:29:39.200 --> 02:29:41.280 So even if they wanted to, they can't. But they 2736 02:29:41.319 --> 02:29:44.200 don't want to, and so a generation from now, that 2737 02:29:44.440 --> 02:29:48.319 workforce is going to look very weak unless they start 2738 02:29:48.600 --> 02:29:52.520 mass you know, importing migrants, and China is not going 2739 02:29:52.600 --> 02:29:55.399 to do that, so that is going to have a 2740 02:29:55.479 --> 02:29:58.479 tremendous negative effect on the economy. And the economy is 2741 02:29:58.559 --> 02:30:00.680 basically the only thing holding up party right now. 2742 02:30:01.079 --> 02:30:01.319 Wow. 2743 02:30:01.840 --> 02:30:04.040 And part of this makes me think of the Malethusians 2744 02:30:04.079 --> 02:30:05.959 and the globalists of the world. Who thinks the world's 2745 02:30:06.000 --> 02:30:08.440 population is too big anyway, So this is all playing 2746 02:30:08.559 --> 02:30:12.639 into it. You know, Japan's shrinking rapidly every day, China's 2747 02:30:12.680 --> 02:30:15.879 population isn't replacing itself, and the same thing here in 2748 02:30:15.920 --> 02:30:18.959 the United States and in Europe, it's almost like ultimately, 2749 02:30:19.360 --> 02:30:22.239 you know, we're leading ourselves down the path of well 2750 02:30:22.639 --> 02:30:24.840 not keeping the population up. 2751 02:30:26.559 --> 02:30:28.959 Yeah, and I think, you know, we're in a better position. 2752 02:30:29.040 --> 02:30:30.920 And I think a country, for example, like South Korea, 2753 02:30:30.959 --> 02:30:34.760 which has the world's lowest birth rate, because we are 2754 02:30:34.959 --> 02:30:38.639 spiritually open, because you can have a religion in these countries, 2755 02:30:38.680 --> 02:30:43.680 I think that fuels the desire to start families, especially 2756 02:30:43.840 --> 02:30:47.000 larger families. In China, the trend that you have is 2757 02:30:47.040 --> 02:30:49.479 that basically the only people who want to have families 2758 02:30:49.799 --> 02:30:53.920 are the weaker Muslims in East Cirkustan, and they are 2759 02:30:54.239 --> 02:30:58.760 undergoing genocide. Chinese communists are going village by village, serializing 2760 02:30:59.159 --> 02:31:03.079 the entire female population of leaguer villages, so the only 2761 02:31:03.159 --> 02:31:06.040 people that want to have kids are being sterilized. And 2762 02:31:06.120 --> 02:31:09.479 then the Han population, which is despondent after seventy years 2763 02:31:09.520 --> 02:31:12.760 of communism, seventy five years, they don't want kids, and 2764 02:31:13.360 --> 02:31:16.680 you know, if they have because this communist government is 2765 02:31:16.719 --> 02:31:19.680 also Han supremacists, the ethnic con group which is the 2766 02:31:19.799 --> 02:31:23.440 majority population of China, it doesn't really serve them that 2767 02:31:23.520 --> 02:31:27.159 There's also a trend of Chinese men looking for Indian 2768 02:31:27.280 --> 02:31:31.239 or Pakistani wives because that doesn't really first the idea 2769 02:31:31.399 --> 02:31:35.600 of their supremacy right, so it is a huge problem. 2770 02:31:36.040 --> 02:31:38.760 They've been trying to pressure women into having babies the 2771 02:31:38.840 --> 02:31:42.399 Communist Party now called women and asks them about their 2772 02:31:42.479 --> 02:31:44.680 cycles and asks them if their plan and have families, 2773 02:31:44.719 --> 02:31:49.040 which is incredibly intrusive and having the opposite effect of 2774 02:31:49.159 --> 02:31:52.680 what they want. So the desperations kicking in and it's 2775 02:31:52.680 --> 02:31:54.840 going to be interesting to see how they. 2776 02:31:54.840 --> 02:31:59.200 Deal with this fascinating conversation, fascinating topic.
