Speaker 1: Five o five. I think you have gar see the
Speaker 1: talk station Monday, say will this ideal? Yeah, no doubt
Speaker 1: about it. Hey, how about those beangles? Thankfully did not
Speaker 1: even bother trying to stay up to watch the game.
Speaker 1: Hey's some exciting football Yesterdayay, we have you Monday, Bryan
Speaker 1: Thomas right here. Sorry it's Monday, but we got to
Speaker 1: do with it, deal with it, and today's the day
Speaker 1: we deal with it. Coming up at fifty five Care
Speaker 1: Morning Show seven oh five, Keith Destrids from the Care
Speaker 1: Starts Now got a special opportunity to help, you know,
Speaker 1: stop pediatric brain cancer and find a cure for it.
Speaker 1: Getting a head of the holiday shopping special days like
Speaker 1: Black Friday and Super Saturday or whatever the hell those
Speaker 1: things are, maybe give to the charities before you go
Speaker 1: out and spend a lot of money on stuff and things.
Speaker 1: And every year I see another article gifts for the
Speaker 1: person manned woman who has everything. If you've got everything,
Speaker 1: do you really need a gift? Just asking out loud anyway,
Speaker 1: Christopher Smithman, it is Monday. We hear from Christopher smith
Speaker 1: on every Monday seven twenty for the former vice mayor
Speaker 1: of the City of Cincinnati and is typically the case.
Speaker 1: Don't know what's on is mind? Today we get to
Speaker 1: find out together and I always enjoy the discourse with
Speaker 1: the former vice mayor, and I hope you do as well.
Speaker 1: I always remember fifty five cares dot com and you
Speaker 1: can't listen live Monday Monday Brian James eighth five is
Speaker 1: is typically the case. Today we'll talk about inflation and tariffs.
Speaker 1: Of course, Donald Trump's big guy on tariffs. He keeps
Speaker 1: wanting to talk about tariffs. How's that going to impact things?
Speaker 1: The Fed going to adjust the rates according to whether
Speaker 1: or not tariff's go into place. I've seen a couple
Speaker 1: of articles on that. Uh. Brian James commentary on that one,
Speaker 1: followed by Social Security receipts upset and the cost of
Speaker 1: living adjustment? Are you upset about the cost of living adjustment? Well,
Speaker 1: I know the inflation rate's gone through the roof, and
Speaker 1: I doubt so this is security has kept up with it.
Speaker 1: But Brian James give us an analysis on that, followed
Speaker 1: by how much will Thanksgiving cost you this year? I
Speaker 1: suppose as much as you want to spend on Thanksgiving,
Speaker 1: but I know the cost of things has got up.
Speaker 1: So we'll find out how it impacts the cost of turkey,
Speaker 1: among other things. Again that begins at eight oh five
Speaker 1: with Brian James. You can begin at any time you want.
Speaker 1: If you want to give me a call five one, three, seven,
Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three taco
Speaker 1: with pound five fifty on at and t phones trying
Speaker 1: to see it. Yes, coming up. I do have a
Speaker 1: commercial for fastened Pro and I am pleased to announce
Speaker 1: I have a future son in law. My daughter got
Speaker 1: engaged over the weekend. Eric finally popped the question. Uh,
Speaker 1: and he is a hell of a guy. We're glad
Speaker 1: we all knew it was gonna happen. I think the
Speaker 1: only person who wasn't absolutely positive was gonna happen was
Speaker 1: my daughter because Eric had shown a lot of folks
Speaker 1: the ring. In fact, I had a launch appointment. It
Speaker 1: was a sales lunch appointment with the owners of fast
Speaker 1: and Pro Ray and Amanda. I said something about if
Speaker 1: you heard anything about Eric may be getting engaged. He goes, oh,
Speaker 1: she showed us the ring. It's like he had showed
Speaker 1: me the ring about a month ago. So anyway, I
Speaker 1: am a very very very very very happy dad. My
Speaker 1: wife paulat is very very happy. Apparently Eric's parents also
Speaker 1: very happy, so across the board happiness. And I am
Speaker 1: just so pleased to announce my daughter has a fiance,
Speaker 1: no longer her boyfriend. It's fiance Eric Hansman, my daughter
Speaker 1: soon I presume to be Lauren. Not sure when they're
Speaker 1: going to get married. Don't really care so much about that.
Speaker 1: I just got the hurdle over with, and again I'm
Speaker 1: excited for both of them. I really truly am. It's
Speaker 1: blessing in the Thomas family. So let me just get
Speaker 1: that out of my system right now. Anyhow, over fifty
Speaker 1: five caresy dot com mentioned podcasts Freaking Me Out the
Speaker 1: Pfizer papers Fizers Crimes against Humanity, a compilation of really
Speaker 1: in depth, deep dive review of actual Phizer internal documents
Speaker 1: that finally came out as a consequence of litigation. That's right,
Speaker 1: they weren't going to hand these papers out to anybody,
Speaker 1: but fortunately there's some people that are truly interested in
Speaker 1: finding out what in the hell that the deal was
Speaker 1: over at Fwiser in connection with the establishment of in
Speaker 1: creation of the COVID nineteen vaccine rushed to market and
Speaker 1: as doctor Nami Wolf pulls it, puts it in the
Speaker 1: rushed to market in spite of the fact that the
Speaker 1: clinical trials Fizer was doing work. I don't want to
Speaker 1: use the word rig but they overlooked all kinds of
Speaker 1: different negative health effects that that COVID nineteen vaccine caused
Speaker 1: and adjusted their internal studies. And h just speaking with
Speaker 1: doctor Wolf about the content of the book really kind
Speaker 1: of wigged me out. And all behind the scenes, you know,
Speaker 1: or behind the discussion and the I'm just wondering, why
Speaker 1: why did they rush that out in spite of all
Speaker 1: of the problems, And doctor Wolf concludes that has something
Speaker 1: to do with population control nine. I'm always jaded and
Speaker 1: cynical when it comes to people's conspiracy conclusions in that regard.
Speaker 1: But if you look at all the apparently behind the
Speaker 1: scenes before it came out, very well known problems that
Speaker 1: women had after getting the COVID nineteen vaccine, you know,
Speaker 1: you can draw a line from point A to point
Speaker 1: B on that. So get a copy of the book
Speaker 1: and get yourself all freaked out if you want. Maybe
Speaker 1: someone somewhere in a future administration Trump administration might figure
Speaker 1: out the nefarious realities. Maybe RFK Junior will take a
Speaker 1: look at this as well. Maybe RFK Junior has read
Speaker 1: doctor Nami Wolf's book. Anyway, you can get a copy
Speaker 1: of that there at fifty five care Sea dot Combrian Morella,
Speaker 1: her election thoughts, Trump appointments, and still well, lots of
Speaker 1: controversies swirling about the Trump appointment. So I'm most excited
Speaker 1: about this doge promising to bring sweeping change to bureaucracy.
Speaker 1: Viv Grahma swimming along with Elon Musk going to be
Speaker 1: in charge of this Department of Government Efficiency, which exists
Speaker 1: outside of government, And they keep going back to the
Speaker 1: conversation I had with Judge Neapaul Tano about it. I
Speaker 1: was excited about it. I brought it up first thing
Speaker 1: out of the gate, and he's like, Oh, this is
Speaker 1: just another expansion of government, and no, it's not. These
Speaker 1: folks are unpaid at least thus far the way it's envisioned.
Speaker 1: They're outside of government. They're just going to offer their conclusions,
Speaker 1: their opinions, their thoughts on what needs to be cut.
Speaker 1: And the interesting background behind this, the Supreme Court has
Speaker 1: laid a nice bed for all of these efficiency efforts
Speaker 1: to actually move forward with because there's been quite a
Speaker 1: few Supreme Court decisions of late which talked about the
Speaker 1: overreach of these administrative agencies in creating rules and regulations,
Speaker 1: basically writing laws behind the scenes and throwing them out
Speaker 1: into the world based upon loosely written legislation that's been passed. Nope,
Speaker 1: got to have a clear, articulated basis to make a regulation.
Speaker 1: It must exist in the law or you can't do it.
Speaker 1: Just summing up a multitude of different cases that have
Speaker 1: come down from the Supreme Court of the past year
Speaker 1: or two. Anyway, Ramaswami's on Bartaroma Show on Sunday Sunday
Speaker 1: Morning Futures with Maria Bartiroma, and he said, this cost
Speaker 1: cutting strategy is going to start with an executive action.
Speaker 1: He said, the failures of the executive branch need to
Speaker 1: be addressed because the dirty little seeker right now is
Speaker 1: the people we elect to run the government. They're not
Speaker 1: the ones who actually run the government. It's the unelected
Speaker 1: bureaucrats and the administrative state that was created through executive action.
Speaker 1: It's going to be fixed through executive action, and here
Speaker 1: we go, he said, think about the Supreme Court's environment
Speaker 1: over the last several years, they've held that many of
Speaker 1: those regulations are unconstitutional at a large scale. Those last
Speaker 1: four words critical at a large scale, he said. Rescind
Speaker 1: those regulations, pull those REGs back, and then give us
Speaker 1: the industrial logic to then downsize the size of the
Speaker 1: administrative state. And the beauty of all this is it
Speaker 1: going to be achieved through executive action without congress some
Speaker 1: of the early wins and scurse some early wins, and
Speaker 1: then you look at the bigger portions of the federal
Speaker 1: government need to be addressed one by one. So because
Speaker 1: you have the legal foundation, and you do now with
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court's decision narrowing the legitimacy of so many
Speaker 1: of these regulations that have come out, and I was
Speaker 1: wondering on how this would ultimately turn out. Because you
Speaker 1: have the Supreme Court law the predicate to get rid
Speaker 1: of all these it's sort of like retroactively going back
Speaker 1: for the last god knows how many years and getting
Speaker 1: rid of all of the overreach from the regulatory administrators
Speaker 1: state because they never had the legal authority to do
Speaker 1: it in the first place. That's the point of these
Speaker 1: wonderful cases. This will serve as a supreme board for
Speaker 1: an executive action. Look, here's the Supreme Court case. Here's
Speaker 1: the executive action rolling back all these rags because well,
Speaker 1: you didn't have the authority to do it. That may
Speaker 1: not be easy, but it's a great place to start
Speaker 1: and to like the creativity these guys are bringing forward
Speaker 1: in order to bring about this change. And he did
Speaker 1: prejudic pledged to bring what he called sweeping change as
Speaker 1: early and quickly as possible. In fact, they want this
Speaker 1: whole office, this non governmental agency that the two of
Speaker 1: them are going to head up looking for volunteers. By
Speaker 1: the way, if you're a prominent business person and you
Speaker 1: know something about dollars and cents in bottom line and
Speaker 1: how to run an efficient business, get involved an unpaid position,
Speaker 1: lots of hard work, but to bring about national exposure
Speaker 1: and maybe you'll become a hero to the American public. Anyway,
Speaker 1: they want this work done to be done though later
Speaker 1: than July fourth, or twenty twenty sixth, the two hundred
Speaker 1: and fiftieth anniversary of the sunning the declaration of Independence.
Speaker 1: So the sweeping changes, Ramaswami said, the sweeping changes expected
Speaker 1: to come from initial executive action, laying the groundwork for
Speaker 1: Congress then to take meaningful steps in budget reductions. So
Speaker 1: if you get rid of a lot of the crap
Speaker 1: with executive orders, there's no need to fund it anymore.
Speaker 1: You can pair back the size and scope of government spending.
Speaker 1: And lord knows, I don't think there's anything more important
Speaker 1: than cutting back government spending. Oh look, the Pentagon failed
Speaker 1: its seventh straight financial law at one area of government
Speaker 1: eight hundred and sixty plus billion dollars worth. They can't
Speaker 1: even account for where the money went. Something wrong here,
Speaker 1: boy said, I love the American military. I have tremendous
Speaker 1: respect for him. But you think there's no fraud, waste,
Speaker 1: and abuse in the American military. I got a bridge
Speaker 1: or four. I want to sell you five sixteen right
Speaker 1: now fifty five care see talk station. Feel free to
Speaker 1: call in love to hear from if you've got a comment.
Speaker 1: We will continue after these brief words.
Speaker 2: Tell the.
Speaker 1: Five point twenty on a Monday Monday Monday with Brian James,
Speaker 1: preceded by Christopher Smithman with a smither vent and appearance
Speaker 1: by Keith Desser. It's care starts now. I'm gonna put
Speaker 1: some money together to cure pediatric brain cancer. What a
Speaker 1: wonderful organization they are. Anyhow, I falling out coming out
Speaker 1: of the last segment, of course, I mentioned the Pentagon
Speaker 1: fail epic fail, seventh straight financial audit. Welcome to your government.
Speaker 1: And again I go back to the DOGE Department, and
Speaker 1: I'm just maybe I have overly high expectations for the
Speaker 1: work they might be able to accomplish. But US Department
Speaker 1: of Defense again failed its seventh consecutive financial audit budget
Speaker 1: eight hundred and twenty four billion dollars. They are unable
Speaker 1: to account for a lot of the money that they spend. Yeah,
Speaker 1: back in twenty seventeen, they began their first ever agency
Speaker 1: wide financial audit. I stopped at that, and I think,
Speaker 1: you know what with the billions of dollars that flows
Speaker 1: into any organization like that, The first time they ever
Speaker 1: did an audit was twenty seventeen. Anyway, since the initial audit,
Speaker 1: Pentagon has consistently failed to pass its subsequent audits, the
Speaker 1: first of which failed any following year twenty eighteen. Out
Speaker 1: of the twenty eight entities audited this year, only nine
Speaker 1: received cleanup opinions. Fifteen received what they called disclaimers That
Speaker 1: means that they were so disorganized that auditors couldn't even
Speaker 1: determine the accuracy of their records. Let's say this to
Speaker 1: serve as an incentive for being disorganized, doesn't it? I
Speaker 1: mean either in seven audits in a row, there's been
Speaker 1: no change being brought about. Hey, just bad. I just
Speaker 1: screw up the papers so badly that the auditors can't
Speaker 1: even figure out what's going on when just high behind
Speaker 1: that one of them received what they called a qualified opinion,
Speaker 1: which is described as meaning the financial statements were mostly
Speaker 1: accurate but contained certain issues or exceptions that were not
Speaker 1: fully compliant with standards. The Idea issued a long winded
Speaker 1: nonsense statement, but also which included the following. The Department
Speaker 1: is firmly committed and is taking actions to achieve an
Speaker 1: unmodified audit opinion on its financial statements by December thirty first,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. They just give him four more years
Speaker 1: and what would that be? Four more audits, then they'll
Speaker 1: finally get it right after well. Starting out in twenty seventeen,
Speaker 1: Pentagon Control and Michael McCord did what he what has
Speaker 1: described his downplay the audit failure, claiming the process or
Speaker 1: progress and rejecting the term failure altogether, he said, and
Speaker 1: I quote, despite the disclaimer of opinion, which was expected,
Speaker 1: the department has turned a corner in its understanding of
Speaker 1: the depth and breadth of its challenges.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: So what does that suggest that they were in denial
Speaker 1: prior to the seventh audit failure. Oh no, it's okay.
Speaker 1: We now have an understanding of the depth and breath
Speaker 1: of our challenges. Our records suck. Auditors can't even determine
Speaker 1: the accuracy of the records. They suck so badly. But
Speaker 1: we get it now. We we've we've we've, we've turned
Speaker 1: around the bend on that one. He emphasized the department's
Speaker 1: commitment to achieving a clean audit within the next four years.
Speaker 1: I do not say we failed, As I said, we
Speaker 1: have about half clean opinions, about half we have half
Speaker 1: that are not clean opinions. So you're gonna love this one.
Speaker 1: If someone had a report card that is these are
Speaker 1: his words, someone had a report card that is half
Speaker 1: good good and half not good. I don't know that
Speaker 1: you call the student or the report card of failure.
Speaker 3: Joe.
Speaker 1: When you were in school, what was a failing grade under?
Speaker 1: What percentage was a fail seventy, Yeah, seventy. I know
Speaker 1: they locks that up a little bit over the years
Speaker 1: to I don't know the name of whatever.
Speaker 4: But.
Speaker 1: I guess he went through a different education process. He said,
Speaker 1: we had a lot of work to do, but I
Speaker 1: think we're making progress. Think so is twenty twenty eight achievable?
Speaker 1: I believe so, he said, But we do have to
Speaker 1: keep getting faster and keep getting better. Died. Okay, great,
Speaker 1: That's why maybe I have an overly inflated perception of
Speaker 1: what this doge can actually accomplish. So much money going
Speaker 1: in and out the door that they can't even keep
Speaker 1: track of it, And I would like to think I'm
Speaker 1: actually inclined to think they don't even want to keep
Speaker 1: track of it. Might be rather revealing on where the
Speaker 1: money goes. And oh, I have a whole lot of
Speaker 1: stuff this morning to talk about in that regard to
Speaker 1: it is five twenty five right now, local stories coming
Speaker 1: up or your phone calls always welcome, stick around.
Speaker 2: You right back.
Speaker 5: General Trump has done it.
Speaker 1: Five nine and a happy Monday to you. Five one, three, seven,
Speaker 1: two to three Taco a pound five fifty if you
Speaker 1: have an AT and T phone, and don't forget get
Speaker 1: your iHeartMedia app. While you're over a fifty five care
Speaker 1: se dot com check out the podcast page. You can
Speaker 1: stream the audio directly from the website or use your
Speaker 1: iHeartMedia app. Anyhow, I got some local stories to dive
Speaker 1: on into here. Somebody wrote priorities on this. This looks
Speaker 1: like Joe Streker's writing. Since the city Council plans discussion
Speaker 1: motion directing the administration to prioritize mental health care funding
Speaker 1: for transgender youth. Uh motion brought forward by Counselman Mark Jefferies. Apparently,
Speaker 1: according to Sharon Coolidge from The enquire reporting on this,
Speaker 1: has a transgender adult son claiming he is concerned about
Speaker 1: the mental health of these young people after seeing a
Speaker 1: barrage of anti transgender political ads and reading a singular
Speaker 1: study about high suicide rates among transgender teens. That study,
Speaker 1: apparently by the Trevor Project, published in the Journal of
Speaker 1: Nature Human Behavior. Jaell you still getting that one? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: of course he is. Paper copies still anyway. According to
Speaker 1: a Journal of Nature Human Behavior, it concluded that state
Speaker 1: laws focus on transgender issues have led to an increase
Speaker 1: of up to seventy two percent. An attempted suicide by
Speaker 1: transgender and gender non binary youth in just the past year.
Speaker 1: Motions set to be discussed at the Council's Budget Finance
Speaker 1: Committee one pm today. Sitting on signing Jeffrey's motion, Vice
Speaker 1: Mayor Jean Michelle lemon Kearney and Council of Victoria Parks,
Speaker 1: Jeffries asked all nine council members all Democrats, to sign,
Speaker 1: but only two of them did. He said the motion
Speaker 1: is aimed at finding gaps in funding. Quote. The mental
Speaker 1: health challenge is faced by transgender and gender non bininary
Speaker 1: youth in particular, is especially an urgent issue. By making
Speaker 1: the mental health and safety services for transgender and gender
Speaker 1: non binary youth a priority, whether it's by leveraging existing
Speaker 1: programs and or carving out new ones where needed, is
Speaker 1: to ensure that this crisis is addressed in an urgent
Speaker 1: fashion so all children in our city can thrive and
Speaker 1: live to their fullest potential. Now I speak of everybody's
Speaker 1: got a list of stuff and things they want government
Speaker 1: to fund and deal with. Everybody's got a long list,
Speaker 1: and there is a long long list. I guess within
Speaker 1: city Council as well. Joe, do you buy any chance
Speaker 1: off the top of your head, have any figures on
Speaker 1: the backlog of roads that need to be repaired in
Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati too many? That was the figure
Speaker 1: that I read as well. Several train cars derailed on
Speaker 1: Saturday night in Queensgate, record of the since I Fire Department,
Speaker 1: they were dispatched. The train went into the thirteen hundred
Speaker 1: block or West merrig Way around nine pm. Train cars
Speaker 1: operated by CSX and a whole bunch of folks showed
Speaker 1: up since St please o Dot Metropolitan Sewer District and
Speaker 1: as well as the Fire Department. They found eight train cars,
Speaker 1: which were carrying a shipment of new automobiles derailed. Some
Speaker 1: of them struck the support columns for the sixth Street Viaduct.
Speaker 1: One actually disconnected and fell into the Mill Creek. No
Speaker 1: hazardous waste materials on the train cars, according to what
Speaker 1: police told local news WCPO appreciate Martlee Shram and Max
Speaker 1: Shillen reporting on it. Nobody was injured as well, which
Speaker 1: is great. ODOT Bridges Spector shut down the sixth Street
Speaker 1: Viaduct to make sure there were no structural integrity issues.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, yes, still struggling. Viaduct reopened roughly three hours
Speaker 1: after the derailment. Recording the statement, CSX said the trail
Speaker 1: train car that was in the Mill Creek was recovered,
Speaker 1: so they said, it's focused on the health and safety
Speaker 1: and on site staff and personnel mitigating the risk of
Speaker 1: the environment caused the derailment. Still under investigation. Well, thankfully
Speaker 1: no hazardous materials. I got some real bright spot in
Speaker 1: that one thirty two year old man shot and killed
Speaker 1: Saturday evening in the East End. According to Sincin Police Department,
Speaker 1: they showed up at the twenty four hundred block of
Speaker 1: Callahan Street about six fifteen pm for reports of a
Speaker 1: person shot. Once got their, officers found Dustin Colvin suffering
Speaker 1: from multiple gunshot wounds. First responders attempted life saving measures,
Speaker 1: but he was pronounced dead at the scene. Since they
Speaker 1: police has not identified any suspects in the shooting, the
Speaker 1: investigation is ongoing. However, if you have any information, the
Speaker 1: police would love you to give him a call. Homicide
Speaker 1: unit is the number five one, three, three, five, two
Speaker 1: thirty five forty two. So there's your local stories thus far.
Speaker 1: It's about five thirty five right now. Got stack of
Speaker 1: stupid coming up. If you can stick around for that,
Speaker 1: or feel free to call if you got a subject
Speaker 1: matter you'd like to talk about. I'd love to hear
Speaker 1: about it, so feel free to do that. I'll be
Speaker 1: right back five thirty nine on a Monday and a half.
Speaker 1: He one T you I five won three seven, four
Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three taco
Speaker 1: tome Fi fifty. If you have an eight and T,
Speaker 1: phone over to the stack. Oh stupid. Kind of like
Speaker 1: a stack of gloom and doom here this morning. But
Speaker 1: here's one that I added to the stack of stupid
Speaker 1: serves as a nice springboard. This is some of the
Speaker 1: other conversations we're gonna have this morning, at least some
Speaker 1: of the topics I wanted to go on. This is,
Speaker 1: I think, definitionally speaking, this is bat crap insanity. There's
Speaker 1: a professor a at least singular in this regard. I'm
Speaker 1: not quite sure if this is a widespread theory, but
Speaker 1: the guy is a professor at British University or I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: woman Catherine, yesaw, she lectures. That's what Breitbard describes as
Speaker 1: the prestigious Queen Mary University of London. She has determined
Speaker 1: excuse me and I apologize again for the cough. It's
Speaker 1: just lingering. There's not a thing I can do about it.
Speaker 1: Has declared the subject of geology geology. It's racist. The
Speaker 1: subject of geology is racist and has been unduly influenced
Speaker 1: by colonization. She condemned geology as a subject that was
Speaker 1: riven by systemic or systematic racism. Thank you for the bubbling,
Speaker 1: bog and stupidity, Joe Stracer, That's exactly what I was
Speaker 1: thinking about. Study of prehistoric life through fossils also branded
Speaker 1: as an enabler for racism of the professor referring to
Speaker 1: the field of paleontology as pale ontology huh. Dalyr Mail
Speaker 1: reported that she stated in her book Geologic Life that
Speaker 1: the extraction of metals like gold and iron has created hierarchies,
Speaker 1: pushed materialism, ravaged environments, and was the root cause of
Speaker 1: climate change. Weren't the Incans big on digging up gold, Joe?
Speaker 1: The Mayans ancient civilizations? Did the Egyptians also use a
Speaker 1: lot of gold anyways? Moving on, claiming that geology continues
Speaker 1: to function within a white supremacist practice, she referenced the
Speaker 1: theft of land mining and other geological practices having led
Speaker 1: to the creation of white supremacy and a resulting geo
Speaker 1: trauma left undefined. Her new book focuses on geology between
Speaker 1: the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, putting aside all of the
Speaker 1: geological realities prior to the seventeenth nineteenth centuries anyway, suggesting
Speaker 1: the notion that non white people have a closer relationship
Speaker 1: to land than white people. Accord to the Mail Report, broadly,
Speaker 1: this is what she said, black, brown and indigenous subjects
Speaker 1: having intimacy with the earth that is unknown to the
Speaker 1: structural position of whiteness. Countering this ridiculousness, one person at least,
Speaker 1: we have one willing to go on record, GIMMI News reports.
Speaker 1: Chris McGovern, the chairman of the Campaign for Real Education
Speaker 1: Real Education, dismissed the assertions entirely quote, geology is no
Speaker 1: more racist than fish and chips. It's an entirely neutral term.
Speaker 1: Those seeking to decolonize the curriculum are in fact building
Speaker 1: their own sinister empire of thought control and intolerance. He
Speaker 1: pointed out that practices like mining are almost as old
Speaker 1: as mankind and not race dependent. That's the point I
Speaker 1: was suggesting earlier when I mentioned the well the Incoans
Speaker 1: and the Mayans.
Speaker 4: Now, who can argue with that?
Speaker 1: Holy people are just if you think it up and
Speaker 1: just write it down and say it, then someone's going
Speaker 1: to believe you and buy into it at all and
Speaker 1: ultimately fund it. As I pointed out earlier, that one
Speaker 1: relates to some of the other things I want to
Speaker 1: talk about. Lay in the program. Your stupid mouth shut
Speaker 1: day Ratliff, You're awesome. Sarasota man arrested last Thursday night
Speaker 1: after Palm Beach police said he pulled up to marl
Speaker 1: Lago and asked to speak with President elect Donald Trump
Speaker 1: while driving a stolen car. Fifty two year old Farbaud Dolat.
Speaker 1: That's who was identified as the guy driving the car.
Speaker 1: Cord to the rest report, he drove a rental car
Speaker 1: listed under a woman's name. Please contacted the woman. She
Speaker 1: told him that she and the suspect were planning on
Speaker 1: buying a vehicle, but when she went back to the
Speaker 1: bank to withdraw the money, he took off in the
Speaker 1: rental car without her permission. Sarah Son to Caddy Sheriff
Speaker 1: Saw was confirmed to the Palm Beach Police the vehicle
Speaker 1: had been reported stolen. He's now facing charge of the
Speaker 1: vehicle theft operating a motor vehicle without a valve license.
Speaker 1: Apparently the least the third person to be arrested at
Speaker 1: mar A Lago since the summer. You're fine, just people thinking,
Speaker 1: just drive on in there. Hey, I'm here. That's five
Speaker 1: forty five fifty five k se DE talk station call Zimmer.
Speaker 1: Zimmer Heating and air Conditioning taking care of folks for

Speaker 1: they just have ended their useful life. It's over, it's
Speaker 1: done with. You can't lay hands on it. You need
Speaker 1: to replace it. And it's a perfect time to do
Speaker 1: that right now. If it's your air conditioning unit. The
Speaker 1: folks at Zimmer are now offering a twenty two hundred
Speaker 1: dollars cool carrier comfort rebate. That's right, carrier. The folks
Speaker 1: that invented air conditioning are offering the wonderful opportunity through
Speaker 1: Zimmer to save a heapload of money. I call twenty
Speaker 1: two hundred bucks off of heapload of savings. To take
Speaker 1: advantage of that while it's still lasts. I figure with
Speaker 1: winter coming fast approaching, they're gonna have some different opportunity
Speaker 1: for it in terms of heating unit. It's but in
Speaker 1: the meantime, if your existing unit's gone belly up, then
Speaker 1: Zimmer are the folks that call, and they are always
Speaker 1: the folks to call when it comes to heating and
Speaker 1: air conditioning service and repair installation, and the leaders in
Speaker 1: twenty four hour days, seven day a week emergency service.
Speaker 1: Tell Chris Zimmer Brian Thomas at how when you call
Speaker 1: to schedule your appointment. You can do that at five
Speaker 1: one three five two one ninety eight ninety three five
Speaker 1: one three five two one ninety eight ninety three or
Speaker 1: check them out online goot to go Zimmer dot com.
Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC Don Junior here guys five forty nine
Speaker 1: and fifty five KRCD talk station. Brian Thomas in front
Speaker 1: of the stack of stupid phone calls, relays well him
Speaker 1: from Christopher Smith and at seven and twenty create Keith
Speaker 1: Desters from the Caro starts now preseeds him talking about
Speaker 1: a wonderful opportunity to help them gather money to cure
Speaker 1: a pediatric brain cancer. Someday it's going to happen, and
Speaker 1: of course it's Monday, so we get money Monday with
Speaker 1: Brian James a datoh five. In the meantime, we go
Speaker 1: to Auckland, New Zealand, where what is described as a
Speaker 1: randy cuffle a couple little embarrassed they were spotted getting
Speaker 1: intimate in the middle of a golf course sixteenth hole,
Speaker 1: specifically the Clarks Beach Golf Club. A jogger described as
Speaker 1: being so stunned that she took a picture posted the
Speaker 1: image on face Graham Facebook, rather claiming that she thought
Speaker 1: the duo might have been cheating on their respective partners.
Speaker 1: I don't know how you conclude that, but whatever, sharing
Speaker 1: the performer, performer, the performance, you can call it performance.
Speaker 1: I suppose she captioned it. Hey Romeo and Juliet seven
Speaker 1: fifteen on a Monday, really said she documented the act.
Speaker 1: I documented the act. A couple appeared to show that
Speaker 1: they were aware they were not alone, speaking of local
Speaker 1: news out there the jogger air to concern. She said,
Speaker 1: I got my phone and just did a quick video,
Speaker 1: probably four seconds. But by the time they had stopped moving.
Speaker 1: I think they were aware of my presence. After my run,
Speaker 1: I did see a man and a woman like in
Speaker 1: the distance playing golf, and they looked like they were
Speaker 1: in their fifties or sixties, so I had a feeling
Speaker 1: it might have been them, but they weren't making eye
Speaker 1: contact with me. If there's some way you can work
Speaker 1: the mulligan into that one, maybe it'll suffice to just
Speaker 1: read the headline on this one. I suppose headline. You'd
Speaker 1: be do a phrasing if people exactly what the headline said,
Speaker 1: Joe headline, I spent twelve hundred pounds getting my penis tattooed.
Speaker 1: Now I can't have sex there. You go better late
Speaker 1: than never, you know. It's strange about that. It's the
Speaker 1: article itself happens to be like four pages long, and
Speaker 1: I'm reminded of my own son, But why are you
Speaker 1: doing that? Okay? Residents of a Scottish town woke up
Speaker 1: to police outside of home after I heard of cows
Speaker 1: took over the street. Police called the Hillford Road in
Speaker 1: the historic town of Ayr after five cows spotted grazing
Speaker 1: in the gardens. Animals left residence baffled after they were
Speaker 1: first seen around eight thirty in the morning when a
Speaker 1: neighbor sharing a photo online. Police car and a van
Speaker 1: can be seen parked along the street and cows behaving
Speaker 1: themselves in the clip, with the animals just calmly standing
Speaker 1: by the driveway of the property. Eventually, the police helped
Speaker 1: bring the wandering farm animals back home. That's about it.
Speaker 1: That's the extent of that one. They talk about instances
Speaker 1: that happened earlier in the year where herds of Coyle's
Speaker 1: escaped from their fields before being well handed over to
Speaker 1: animal rescues rescue crews. Some stacks stupid stories are better
Speaker 1: than other. Oh, this is a twisted one. A Georgia
Speaker 1: mother of three who killed her two little boys by
Speaker 1: placing them in an oven and turning them turning it
Speaker 1: on will now be spending the rest of for life
Speaker 1: in bars. According with Judge Atlanta ruling on Friday, Lamora
Speaker 1: Williams twenty four convicted of a whole bunch of crimes,
Speaker 1: including to count some murder, for the twenty seventeen deaths
Speaker 1: of her sons, ages one and two, who were killed
Speaker 1: roughly an hour apart. The woman had called nine to
Speaker 1: one one on the same day. Quote when I came in,
Speaker 1: the stove was laying on my son, my my youngest
Speaker 1: son's head, and my other son was laid out on
Speaker 1: the floor with his brains laid out on the floor.
Speaker 1: That's what she said to the dispatcher. I don't know
Speaker 1: what to do. I just came home from work bad.
Speaker 1: Then in February twenty eighteen, she was indicted on four
Speaker 1: counts of fell and the murdered, two counts and murdered,
Speaker 1: two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of concealing the
Speaker 1: deaths of another, and one kind of making false statement.
Speaker 1: Later charged with two counts of cruelty to children in
Speaker 1: the first degree, one kind of cruelty to children in
Speaker 1: d second degree, one additional kind of aggravated assault, one
Speaker 1: kind of obstruction of law enforcement officer, and one kind
Speaker 1: of battery resulting in substantial physical harm. Defendant tol poolice
Speaker 1: she left all three of her children at home with
Speaker 1: the caregiver from noon until eleven thirty pm in the day,
Speaker 1: and returned home to find that they had died. Caregiver
Speaker 1: was gone sometime between midnight on October twelfth, twenty seventeen,
Speaker 1: and eleven pm the next day today. She quote knowingly
Speaker 1: and intentionally killed the two toddlers by placing them in
Speaker 1: and oven and turning it on. That's according to the
Speaker 1: rest warrant issued by the Atlanta Police Department. Autopsy reports
Speaker 1: revealed the boys heads were stuck in a tipped over oven.
Speaker 1: Medical examiner disagree with the police claims that the children
Speaker 1: had been burned. These thermal changes appear to be entirely
Speaker 1: from dry heat and changes from prolonged exposure to heat.
Speaker 1: According to the medical examiner, it would require an extensive
Speaker 1: amount of time to get to this degree. She Prosecutors
Speaker 1: stuck by the police department's version of the evidence, contact
Speaker 1: of the defendant's narrative to jurors minds, and according to
Speaker 1: the court room report, the boy's father also called nine
Speaker 1: one one roughly the same times William hesitant to give
Speaker 1: the dispatcher her address. Father described the video call in
Speaker 1: comments to Atlanta based ABC there, calling it a real
Speaker 1: horror movie like Friday the thirteenth. She was convicted of
Speaker 1: fourteen counts against her, quickly sentenced to a life term
Speaker 1: in prison without the possibility of parol, on top of
Speaker 1: which an additional thirty five years. Well, I one may
Speaker 1: argue justice was at least served in that one. What
Speaker 1: a horrific, horrific reality. Anyhow, I'm usually looking for a
Speaker 1: little more humor than that, but what can you say.
Speaker 1: It is a Monday. Let's move on to different topics
Speaker 1: coming up off top of the hour. Look forward to
Speaker 1: hearing from you. You got a lot to go through,
Speaker 1: including how is it that Biden has now allowed or
Speaker 1: approved Ukraine's use of long range missiles inside Russia. I
Speaker 1: don't think the election had anything to do with that.
Speaker 1: Stick around. I'll be right back after the news.
Speaker 2: There we go again, another news update.
Speaker 5: We're going to get all the facts.
Speaker 2: An ear full of information at.
Speaker 1: The top of the hour and they'll break it down fast.
Speaker 1: Fifty five krs.
Speaker 5: The talk station, First Financial Bank.
Speaker 1: It is so six here if if you five kre
Speaker 1: CD talk station. If we're having Monday to you, I
Speaker 1: hope you're gonna have one any way, and I hope
Speaker 1: you can stick around all morning. Coming up in an hour,
Speaker 1: the return of Keith Deserts from the Cure starts now.
Speaker 1: Their goal, well, the home run cure figure out how
Speaker 1: to cure pediatric brain cancer, may be able to cure
Speaker 1: all cancers. And there's been wonderful, wonderful inroads in a
Speaker 1: cancer research thanks to the wonderful work of every single
Speaker 1: human being who's contributed to the cure starts now and
Speaker 1: Keith's gonna be talking about a sort of get ahead
Speaker 1: of you know, Black Monday or Black Fridays sales and
Speaker 1: all that, by trying to get people to think about,
Speaker 1: you know, contributing to charities ahead of time, make your
Speaker 1: little contribution before the spending begins on gifts and stuff.
Speaker 1: So that's the method they're going with this year. Kei's
Speaker 1: gonna explain all that to us coming up in an hour.
Speaker 1: Looking forward to having him back on the program. Just
Speaker 1: a wonderful, wonderful man. He and his wife, of course,
Speaker 1: had to deal with the ultimate challenge, the loss of
Speaker 1: a child to geoblastoma, pediatric brain cancer many years ago.
Speaker 1: But they didn't just cry about it and wallow and misery,
Speaker 1: and they started the care starts now on millions and
Speaker 1: millions of dollars. It is now a global organization, so
Speaker 1: a great thing to be affiliated with them, and I
Speaker 1: appreciate the opportunity to do so. So an hour ahead
Speaker 1: of time with Keith, followed by seven twenty Christopher Smith
Speaker 1: and former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati with
Speaker 1: the Smith Event. We're gonna hear in two hours Monday, Monday,
Speaker 1: Brian James. We'll talk about inflation and tariffs, social Security
Speaker 1: recipients a little upset about their cost of living adjustment
Speaker 1: and how much is Thanksgiving going to cost you this year?
Speaker 1: It depends on who's coming over the house right anyway,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that with Brian James. Love to talk
Speaker 1: to you if you want to call. I'd certainly appreciated.
Speaker 1: Get me out of this lingering ongoing and probably will
Speaker 1: never go away cough I'm dealing with, but also another
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put a plug in because I'm such a happy,
Speaker 1: happy man. My wife and are extremely happy. Yes, is
Speaker 1: my daughter has gotten engaged got engaged over the weekend.
Speaker 1: So there I said it out loud again. I'm proud,
Speaker 1: I'm happy, everybody's happy. It's great looking forward to having
Speaker 1: Eric part of the family. Officially feels like he's already
Speaker 1: a member of our family right now, but soon to be.
Speaker 1: I presume, Lauren Hansman. We really adore Eric. He's a
Speaker 1: good man, and everybody's happy when they're on their side
Speaker 1: of the family as well, which is a good thing.
Speaker 1: You don't want to start off on the wrong foot
Speaker 1: on something like that. Anyway. I mentioned at the outset
Speaker 1: of the morning show this morning by Viva Gramma Swimming
Speaker 1: being on FNC Sunday Morning Futures talking about this new
Speaker 1: DOGE Department of Government efficiency, and I hope I'm not
Speaker 1: overly optimistic about what they can accomplish. But he, along
Speaker 1: with Elon Musk, are going to be you know, pirting
Speaker 1: this non governmental organization. No, it's not going to cost
Speaker 1: you anything. This is apparently all volunteer work, and they're
Speaker 1: going to start cutting and they're going to start with
Speaker 1: executive orders. Executive orders predicated on Supreme Court decisions which
Speaker 1: have already ruled that so much of the regulatory state
Speaker 1: that's in place right now, is illegal, was extra constitutional,
Speaker 1: was beyond the law. So you start there and you
Speaker 1: go backward, and you look in and do it a
Speaker 1: deep dive analysis of all the regulations exceeded the scope
Speaker 1: of whatever legislation they sprung from, and a tremendous amount
Speaker 1: of work can be accomplished along those lines. And of course,
Speaker 1: pivoting over to Congress, Republicans, you're in control. Now, let's
Speaker 1: start cutting spending, said, over the last forty years, even conservatives,
Speaker 1: we talked a big game for forty years about cutting
Speaker 1: the federal government, about reducing the scope of the federal government.
Speaker 1: Politicians haven't been able to do it, stating the obvious,
Speaker 1: and so Elon and I were not politicians, were businessmen.
Speaker 1: Were coming at it from the outside. Sometimes if you
Speaker 1: go inside, you become native to this system. Said, I
Speaker 1: applaud Trump or setting this up for success. But I
Speaker 1: come back to the principle in the early months, score
Speaker 1: quick wins through executive action, show it can be done,
Speaker 1: and then I think will lay the groundwork for Congress
Speaker 1: to have the UH to take the meaningful steps for
Speaker 1: the future. A lot of these discussions are theoretical to
Speaker 1: do cut different entitlement programs or whatever. Let's just start
Speaker 1: with the fact that there is massive waste, fraud and
Speaker 1: abuse right now. Federal contractors are really exploiting the federal government.
Speaker 1: You could take the haircuts across the board and there
Speaker 1: will be no worse off for it. Well, and that
Speaker 1: goes back to the article I read about the Pentagon
Speaker 1: failing it's seventh straight financial audit, seven in a row.
Speaker 1: Looking at this since twenty seventeen, they haven't passed a
Speaker 1: single one. Oh, blah blah. But it's okay, Well, we'll
Speaker 1: be able to get it all cleaned up by twenty
Speaker 1: twenty eight. Just give us four more years. She's got
Speaker 1: two words for you, and it ain't happy birthday. As
Speaker 1: dad he used to say. You heard about some of
Speaker 1: the of the Trump's picks for hadding up the various agencies,
Speaker 1: and some folks are a little upset about Pete Hegzeth
Speaker 1: and it really kind of irks me quite frankly. The
Speaker 1: man served. He's a veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars,
Speaker 1: but he is always mentioned as being a Fox News commentator. First, no,
Speaker 1: that's not what qualifies him for the job. And you
Speaker 1: can argue he's not qualified when we talk all day
Speaker 1: long about that versus someone else who has military experience.
Speaker 1: But his Fox News commentary is irrelevant but nonetheless across
Speaker 1: the board Fox News commentator, oh and parenthetically veteran of
Speaker 1: the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Anyway, you got a little
Speaker 1: insight into what he's planning on doing, hmmm, most notably
Speaker 1: undoing the Diversity Equity inclusion the DEEI and all the
Speaker 1: training that goes along that within the military, which has
Speaker 1: been put in place of actual military training, you know,
Speaker 1: teaching people how to break stuff and kill people. I
Speaker 1: always like to boil down the reality of the military
Speaker 1: is that what do you want your military to do?
Speaker 1: Win wars? Win wars involves what killing people in breaking
Speaker 1: things strategically. Anyway, back in late August, Trump said that
Speaker 1: if you want to have a sex change or a
Speaker 1: social justice seminar, then you can do it somewhere else.
Speaker 1: You're not going to do it in the Army, Navy,
Speaker 1: Coast Guard, Air Force, Base, Force, the United States Marine. Sorry,
Speaker 1: military brass that led to these absurd and insulting initiatives
Speaker 1: will likewise be removed and they will no longer be
Speaker 1: in command. They're going to be gone, gone so fast.
Speaker 1: That was Trump backing it up. He appoints or wants
Speaker 1: to a point exet exact. Last week, said on The
Speaker 1: Sean Ryan Show, Well, first of all, you got a fire.
Speaker 1: You know, you got to fire the Chairman of the
Speaker 1: Joint Chiefs, any general that was involved, general, admiral, whatever,
Speaker 1: that was involved in any of the dee I woke,
Speaker 1: woke s word, it's got to go. He wrote a book,
Speaker 1: The War on Warriors, in which he said, our generals
Speaker 1: are not ready for this moment in history, not even close.
Speaker 1: The next president of the United States need to radically
Speaker 1: overhaul the Pentagon's senior leadership to make us ready to
Speaker 1: defend our nation and defeat our enemies. Lots of people
Speaker 1: need to be fired. You note that at the Pentagon
Speaker 1: you can fire generals, unlike say the CIA or Department
Speaker 1: of Justice, where it's hard to fire senior officials because
Speaker 1: they're protected. According to Representative Chris Stewart, who's also been
Speaker 1: working on the transition team for the Department of Defense,
Speaker 1: they're considering draft executive order establishing a Warrior Board that'd
Speaker 1: be retired military personnel. They have power to review the
Speaker 1: various leaders of the American military and figure out whether
Speaker 1: they're unfit for leadership or not, then make recommendations over
Speaker 1: the president. Much inke that Doge, she's going to make
Speaker 1: recommendations of the president on where to cut idea. Pentagon
Speaker 1: requested funding to the tune of Fox News reporting one
Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen million dollars for DEI initiatives last year
Speaker 1: or this calendar year to be used for programs and
Speaker 1: initiatives aimed at furthering DEIA and incorporating DEIA values, objectives
Speaker 1: and considerations and how we do business and execute our missions. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's just put yourself in a position of Ukrainian soldier
Speaker 1: fighting on the front lines against the Russians. They're worried
Speaker 1: about where they're amos coming from. I'm sure the Russians
Speaker 1: feel kind of the same way, whether they're going to
Speaker 1: see their families again. Do you think any of them
Speaker 1: are thinking about diversity, equity inclusion and do the extent
Speaker 1: they're equity hires among the front lines. Maybe they're just
Speaker 1: equity hires and they're not trained to be the most
Speaker 1: efficient fighting folks anywhere. Isn't that what you want in
Speaker 1: his book, Hezeth row DEI amplifies differences, creates grievances, and
Speaker 1: excludes anyone who won't bow down to the cultural Marxist
Speaker 1: revolution ripping through the Pentagon. Forget DEI the acronym. The
Speaker 1: acronym should be d I E or ied. It will
Speaker 1: kill our military worse than any Ied ever could. He
Speaker 1: went on, the left isn't just interested in purging Trump supporters.
Speaker 1: Their ideology is based on marginalizing whatever's normal because they
Speaker 1: think normal is always oppressive. By their logic, the military
Speaker 1: runs on the most normal and most oppressive things of
Speaker 1: all strong men. Just being a guy who hits the
Speaker 1: gym means you're oppressing everyone around you. He also said
Speaker 1: a big reason for fewer training accidents, which apparently there
Speaker 1: are it is because of less training, more time than
Speaker 1: ever being spent on social justice, PowerPoint moralizing and meeting
Speaker 1: those metrics in today's military is the most important standard
Speaker 1: to meet. Every unit knows that social justice, transgender, woke
Speaker 1: training is the top priority. Not doing this training or
Speaker 1: not doing it properly, we'll get a commander or a
Speaker 1: junior leader fired. Not doing real field training become secondary.
Speaker 1: His words, So I like that, considering he well is
Speaker 1: a venter of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, did a
Speaker 1: pretty good job in the American military, is seen at firsthand,
Speaker 1: and in spite of the fact that he's Vox News contributor,
Speaker 1: I think the guy's got some right ideas, at least
Speaker 1: in so far as how to reform the military back
Speaker 1: to well a well oiled fighting machine to protect them
Speaker 1: America's interest six seventeen. Candy, I will get your call
Speaker 1: as soon as I come back. So I just looked
Speaker 1: up and saw you there, not to overlook you, but
Speaker 1: got in a role there. Want to mention USA Installation,
Speaker 1: which is back to ninety nine dollars a month interest
Speaker 1: free at any price. USA installation is the right way
Speaker 1: to go because it saves your money makes your home
Speaker 1: more comfortable. Right, so get your home insulated before the
Speaker 1: cold weather really hits in in earnest. You'll save the
Speaker 1: heatload of money and your heating bills. Your house will
Speaker 1: be much more comfortable with the USA Premium phone in
Speaker 1: the exterior walls because the highest R value phone, so
Speaker 1: you could either be under insulated or have no insulation,
Speaker 1: and a free inspection by USA will determine that and
Speaker 1: at ninety nine dollars a month interest free. I have
Speaker 1: lots and lots of listeners who saved more than that
Speaker 1: monthly on their energy bills. Yeah, your home can be
Speaker 1: so poorly insulated more than ninety nine dollars a month
Speaker 1: in savings, a lot more in some cases. And my
Speaker 1: friend Jeff had the whole thing paid off in just
Speaker 1: two years of energy savings. What a wonderful thing. Another
Speaker 1: oneful thing, twelve hundred dollars energy tax. Good it when
Speaker 1: you're doing your taxes next year, take twelve hundred dollars off.
Speaker 1: It's like getting a check for doing what the right
Speaker 1: thing all the time. So ninety nine dollars a month
Speaker 1: interest free. Give them a call for that free inspection.
Speaker 1: Five one three three eight one three sixty two six.
Speaker 1: That's three point eight one FOAM. Learn more online, Head
Speaker 1: over to the website. That's USA Installation dot Net.
Speaker 5: Fifty five KRC Celebrate six twenty two to fifty five
Speaker 5: KRC detalk station, Happy E Monday.
Speaker 1: Try to make it one anyway. I'm going to go
Speaker 1: to the phones. I promise Candy should be first. Five one, three,
Speaker 1: seven four nine to fifty five hundred eight hundred eight
Speaker 1: two to three talk. Thanks for holding Candy, Welcome to
Speaker 1: the fifty five KRC Morning Show.
Speaker 6: Good morning, Thank you. I just want to note that
Speaker 6: there's I believe sixty three days left in the Biden administration.
Speaker 6: Sixty three. I think I'm counting down. I'm wondering what
Speaker 6: what they're gonna They did stuff in the first ten
Speaker 6: days and quit, and they're gonna urgently do things in
Speaker 6: the last ten days.
Speaker 1: Probably like approve Ukraine using long range missiles into Russia.
Speaker 1: Uh huh, that's a little frightening.
Speaker 6: The countdown has begun as of November sixth, and Trump
Speaker 6: is marching on, so we can't Uh. He's not flacken, No.
Speaker 1: He's not. He's hitting the ground running as fast as
Speaker 1: he can. I appreciate that he's rolled out his cabinet
Speaker 1: proposals real early on, give him ready a very clear
Speaker 1: indication of what he wants to do. I am more
Speaker 1: excited about this Doze group than anything because someone needs
Speaker 1: a cut government and you got two multi millionaire slash
Speaker 1: billionaires running it. They don't need any money. They're doing
Speaker 1: it from the bottom of their heart and hope for
Speaker 1: a better future for our country. I mean, those are
Speaker 1: all real positive signals. And I got a lot of
Speaker 1: respect for both Evey Grahma Swimming, Elon Musk for what
Speaker 1: they've been on to perform in business. So let's give
Speaker 1: it a shot. Let's try to cut we we all
Speaker 1: know that there's plenty of areas to cut. We can
Speaker 1: probably come on with our own list of book long
Speaker 1: worth of areas. I got a bunch of multiple articles
Speaker 1: doing exactly that. But let's first get to Rick's call. Hey, Rick,
Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning.
Speaker 3: What is it?
Speaker 1: Oh? Is it?
Speaker 3: Nick?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry? Nick, I apologize. Welcome to the morning show.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Brian. I think you might be familiar. I'm
Speaker 3: not certain, though. Do you know how every time they
Speaker 3: do a continuing resolution at the very last minute, Yes,
Speaker 3: they put in the standard boilerplate language says as the
Speaker 3: Secretary deems.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 7: And it goes back to that Supreme Court legislation.
Speaker 3: And when that Supreme Court legislation came down, it was
Speaker 3: only about ten days after.
Speaker 7: Excellon already filed a suit.
Speaker 3: Against the SuDS over their constraints on anmar VAC has
Speaker 3: particular ramifications for freaking. It might be an issue for somebody.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe, but it's not the concept. It's not
Speaker 1: Supreme Court legislation and Supreme Court opinions. See that's a problem.
Speaker 1: That's okay, But there is Supreme Court legislation. That's when
Speaker 1: you get like Roe v. Wade, you know, whole cloth,
Speaker 1: you know, actual legislation written by jurists, which is not
Speaker 1: their role. So I'm sorry I had to jump on
Speaker 1: that little component, but I'm aster, well, I didn't.
Speaker 3: Go to law school.
Speaker 1: That's today.
Speaker 7: I'm allowed to be excused on my igor.
Speaker 3: I don't think I got blonde hair. I got double excuses.
Speaker 3: Listen that The whole point is they filed that lawsuit
Speaker 3: and that is really gotten by very quietly, and I'm
Speaker 3: sure that the Biden.
Speaker 7: Administration has been able to try and slow that down
Speaker 7: as best as they're able.
Speaker 3: But that's not going to be able to be stopped.
Speaker 7: No, it's not, because what happens is it's impifications everywhere.
Speaker 1: Yes, every piece of legislation from this point forward is
Speaker 1: going to have to very specifically identify the role that
Speaker 1: the administrative state has. And if it doesn't administrates, not
Speaker 1: an administrative state isn't gonna be able to shoehorn rules
Speaker 1: and regulations into some other piece of legislation, which is
Speaker 1: what they do all the time. That's how a tablespoon
Speaker 1: of water on private land can be considered a navigable
Speaker 1: stream or something. It's nonsensical, it's way beyond the pale.
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with what was originally contemplated
Speaker 1: by the environmental legislation ergo, it is not valid that
Speaker 1: is in place right now. So funny going forward basis. See,
Speaker 1: this is where the retroactive look comes from the Doge
Speaker 1: group Elon Musk Vive Gramma swimming making executive order suggestions
Speaker 1: because that is the law now. So look, we've taken
Speaker 1: to look at all these different administrations, all or these
Speaker 1: different pieces of legislation and the rules and REGs that
Speaker 1: sprung from them. And here is the entire list, volumes,
Speaker 1: thousands of pages of regulations that were way beyond the pale,
Speaker 1: and their ergo have been deemed by the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: to be unlawful, illegal, beyond the scope of the legislation,
Speaker 1: outside of their power eradicate all of them. You can
Speaker 1: go back decades and do that. The world will be
Speaker 1: a completely different place if they're successful with this an
Speaker 1: absolutely completely different places. And so to undo the eradication
Speaker 1: of those rules which exceeded the authority, the Congress would
Speaker 1: have to go back and enact legislation that specifically provides
Speaker 1: for those agency rules and REGs. And I don't see
Speaker 1: a Republican administration doing that. So we could be free
Speaker 1: of a substantial regulatory burden on a going forward basis.
Speaker 1: If they stick to their guns and the principles that
Speaker 1: they've outlined, it's going to be a beautiful thing. Feel
Speaker 1: free to call five one, three, seven, four nine fifty
Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred and eight to two three talk
Speaker 1: Fasten pro Roofing. Yay to Eric and Lauren. They're engaged.
Speaker 1: Thank you Eric for asking my daughter to be your bride.
Speaker 1: And I say that because Eric, of course works for

Speaker 1: fifty on AT and T phones and at fifty five
Speaker 1: case dot com, where you can get freaked out by
Speaker 1: doctor Naomi Wolfe's book compilation the Pfeiser Papers Pfiser's Crimes
Speaker 1: against Humanity. Talked to her on Friday and just really
Speaker 1: could not believe what I was hearing from the doctor.
Speaker 1: And the good thing about that book, first question out
Speaker 1: of the gate to her was the source materials that
Speaker 1: comprise that book came directly from Peiser's own records as
Speaker 1: a consequence of litigation requests for information FO you and otherwise.
Speaker 1: Litigation resulted the Infeiser being forced to disclose all of
Speaker 1: the research they did leading up to the COVID nineteen vaccine.
Speaker 1: And it will freak you out. I mean, just listen
Speaker 1: to the podcast. You don't have to believe me. Look
Speaker 1: at the researchers who did all the work it comprised
Speaker 1: the book that she put together. She's like the editor
Speaker 1: of the book. She didn't draft it herself, but this
Speaker 1: is again source material from Pfiser, just scary and her
Speaker 1: conclusions are really what is the most scary about everything
Speaker 1: in there? So that's one podcast you should really check into.
Speaker 1: My friend Maureen suggest that that should be on the
Speaker 1: short list for best of shows down the road when
Speaker 1: I'm taking time off or I'm otherwise sick anyhow, and
Speaker 1: everybody's got a list. Announcement they've been coming ever since.
Speaker 1: The Trump you know, transition team has announced this Department
Speaker 1: of Government Efficiency to be headed up by Elon Musk
Speaker 1: and Viva Gramma Swaman. I know I'm talking a lot
Speaker 1: about it this morning, but I'm excited about that. We
Speaker 1: need to cut the spending and government and all the fraud,
Speaker 1: wasted abuse is just overwhelming. So let's go to the
Speaker 1: Daily Caller for their list, because everybody's got one.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: Right now. The current administration, the Biden Harris administration, apparently
Speaker 1: on track to have paid out over one trillion dollars
Speaker 1: in improper payments by the time Trump takes office the
Speaker 1: end of January. Trillion a thousand billion. I mean, I
Speaker 1: like to emphasize that, because I did. Everybody's sort of
Speaker 1: eyes glaze over when you throw around a trillion here
Speaker 1: and a trillion there, and oh my god, it doesn't
Speaker 1: mean anything anymore. You're looking out of a landscape of
Speaker 1: one thousand stacks of one billion dollars. Each billion dollars
Speaker 1: represents the stack of one thousand million dollars. It's a
Speaker 1: lot of money, and that's well. Improper payments. Improper payments,
Speaker 1: defined by our federal government, is any disbursement made by
Speaker 1: the government to the wrong person, in the wrong amount
Speaker 1: or for the wrong reason. Let's point out regular examples
Speaker 1: of improper playments includes erroneous payments made through Medicaid and medicare,
Speaker 1: misallocated COVID nineteen eight, benefits paid to dead people, and
Speaker 1: taxpayer funds to lost lost to fraud. Large sums of
Speaker 1: improper payments are not a problem unique to the Biden
Speaker 1: Harris administration, of course, go back to the Trump administration.
Speaker 1: The government disclosed eight hundred and fourteen billion dollars in
Speaker 1: inflation adjusted improper payments. You know this could only come
Speaker 1: about and the government is so huge and so ridiculously large,
Speaker 1: that there's no way in God's green Earth that can
Speaker 1: account for all the money that's flowing out the door again.
Speaker 1: Going back to the story, I started a morning show
Speaker 1: with the pentagons, failed at seventh audit with a promise
Speaker 1: that they'll get it right by twenty twenty eight seventh
Speaker 1: straight financial audit. Anyhow, you can recover some of these
Speaker 1: the Biden Harrison administration of the close to one trilling
Speaker 1: that will be paid out over the current over the
Speaker 1: four year term, they recovered about fifty one billion dollars
Speaker 1: that of the two hundred and thirty five point seven
Speaker 1: billion that it erroneously paid out, and just calending your
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three tax dollars funding LGP activism abroad, get
Speaker 1: a load of some of the money that you and
Speaker 1: I are working each and every day to pay for.
Speaker 1: Spokesman for the State Department they previously told explain that
Speaker 1: promoting LGBT inclusion in other countries is a foreign policy
Speaker 1: priority of the current administration. Under Biden, the State Department,
Speaker 1: as well as the United States Agency for International Development
Speaker 1: USA have spent millions of dollars working to fund transgender surgeries,
Speaker 1: bankroll LGBTQ activists, and engage pro transgender I guess social
Speaker 1: engineering not in our country, although they're doing it here,
Speaker 1: but in other country. Court of Reporting USA gave two
Speaker 1: million dollars to Associacion Lambda, which is a Guatemalan based
Speaker 1: organization to engage in pro LGBT activism and provide people
Speaker 1: with gender affirming care. This organization attempts to influence elections
Speaker 1: in Guatemala and meets with government officials to engage in advocacy. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: State Department funded the production of Again in This One
Speaker 1: funded a production of a play in North Macedonia where
Speaker 1: the play features God as a bisexual that has constant
Speaker 1: sex with Hermaphrodeitic, angels and communists are painted in a
Speaker 1: positive light. I can only read what's written, folks in
Speaker 1: another time, in another place, I would have called a
Speaker 1: giant barber streiss and flag on that description. But you
Speaker 1: know where we are these days. He thanks Jo being
Speaker 1: your researcher with a heritage foundation, a more conservative organization.
Speaker 1: Simon Hankinson wrote and report a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: Americans are far from agreeing on how to deal with race,
Speaker 1: sex and gender, and schools and workplaces that would be Americans.
Speaker 1: Even when the US national consensus is there, Restraint is
Speaker 1: always necessary and attempting to convince other nations that one's
Speaker 1: own values should be theirs, like, for example, US trying
Speaker 1: to oppose these particular values LGBTQ plus IA whatever on. Oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know Muslim countries who don't agree to or
Speaker 1: abide by the idea that it's even appropriate behavior. And
Speaker 1: yet we spend a whole bunch of money alienating those
Speaker 1: nations and alienating their citizenry from the United States, who
Speaker 1: they look upon as completely batcrap and saying, now you've
Speaker 1: got a finite amount of money and you're trying to
Speaker 1: curry favor with other nations. Do you really want to
Speaker 1: try and change their culture that radically when they do
Speaker 1: not abide. That's what's going on going on. That's the
Speaker 1: point of his comment of the Heritage Foundation. So, I mean,
Speaker 1: I could go on for hours and hours on this.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of illustrations that the Daily Caller pulled out.
Speaker 1: Bobby's on the phone, Bobby, hang on, I'll get you
Speaker 1: your call just a second. I want to mention John

Speaker 1: large and small jobs, both large and small, just like
Speaker 1: changing out cabinets and countertops as a small job, or

Speaker 1: from Keith, destric from the care starts now at top
Speaker 1: of the our new special opportunity to help find a
Speaker 1: cure for cancer across the board, and it's nearly beginning
Speaker 1: with pediatric brain cancer and anytimes going to head over
Speaker 1: to the phones, Bobby was kind enough to hold over
Speaker 1: the breake there, Bobby, welcome back to the morning show.
Speaker 1: It's always good to hear from you, my friend.
Speaker 4: Hey, happy Monday, my brother. It's the beginning of the
Speaker 4: end and the end of the beginning. Well, I got
Speaker 4: a couple of little things for you today, all right.
Speaker 4: One thing is we can save a little over five
Speaker 4: million dollars by taking the seven twenty four protection from
Speaker 4: doctor Fuci. He still has a complete security detail on
Speaker 4: him five million dollars a year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, isn't that weird that he gets protection and literally
Speaker 1: nobody else in government other than like former presidents and
Speaker 1: vice presidents and people of that level get protection. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe did doctor Fauci do something wrong
Speaker 1: to the American people that would lead him to be
Speaker 1: subject to some sort of maybe threat. Perhaps, I don't know.
Speaker 4: He did something right, he resigned.
Speaker 1: Well that is true. Well he saw the right out
Speaker 1: of the wall.
Speaker 4: You're still there, really, yes, sir, I'm saying the missile
Speaker 4: system that they are deploying in Ukraine, it's being manned
Speaker 4: by US troops. People don't know that they haven't been
Speaker 4: trained on it yet.
Speaker 1: Yes, I did see reporting that we did send troops
Speaker 1: into Ukraine to service our equipment, and that is not
Speaker 1: a good thing. Remember how the Vietnam War escalated. We
Speaker 1: started with advisors, didn't we, Bobby, Yes, sir, Yeah, this
Speaker 1: is that ATACAM system. ATACMS, which is army tactical missile system,
Speaker 1: requires specialized knowledge and of course access to specialized information
Speaker 1: and knowledge which requires a US security clearance that only
Speaker 1: American Americans can provide. Meaning we are directly involved in
Speaker 1: direct warfare with the Russians, including launching missiles deep into
Speaker 1: Russian territory.
Speaker 4: One other thing too, it's a short walk from Belarus
Speaker 4: into Kieo, remember that very short walk.
Speaker 1: I don't know quite how I'm supposed to interpret that, Bobby,
Speaker 1: I sure appreciate the call. Yeah, it's an really interesting development,
Speaker 1: on top of which you know you have the approval,
Speaker 1: and why late this late in the game, Biden's been
Speaker 1: holding back the approval of Ukraine's use of these long
Speaker 1: range missile systems. They apparently go up to like one
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety miles, which will allow them to hit
Speaker 1: the building up of North Korean troops as well as
Speaker 1: some other Russian troops. Is fifty thousand troops that Russia
Speaker 1: has amassed ten thousand soldiers from North Korea, and they're
Speaker 1: outside of the range of I guess what Ukraine has
Speaker 1: been using. So you got access to these longer range missiles.
Speaker 1: They're saying that they could then attack those particular forces.
Speaker 1: But astute observers pointed out that well, these Attakams surface
Speaker 1: the service missiles strike between one hundred and hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety miles away. Russia can simply move most of its
Speaker 1: war material further away in many cases has already done so.
Speaker 1: So maybe well we'll hold we'll hold back authority to
Speaker 1: use them until the Russians get the idea that we're
Speaker 1: going to allow authority for the Ukrainians to use them,
Speaker 1: and by that time they'll have moved everybody out of
Speaker 1: the area that could be impacted them impacted by them
Speaker 1: rendering them. Well, I guess pointless. I don't know nothing
Speaker 1: in this entire conflict. It makes any sense to me.
Speaker 1: Six fifty six fifty five Krsity talk station. Tomorrow we'll
Speaker 1: get the deep dive with Daniel Davis. I feel pretty
Speaker 1: certain that Daniel Davis will offer some of his personal
Speaker 1: insight into that retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis. Every Tuesday
Speaker 1: at eight thirty stick around, we'll hear from a care
Speaker 1: starts Now's Keith death reachap at the top of the
Speaker 1: our News. Then former Vice Mayor Christopher Smithman with the
Speaker 1: smith Event at seven twenty.
Speaker 9: When you want to know, when you need to know,
Speaker 9: when you have to know, you can be in the
Speaker 9: know right here on fifty five cars Talk Station.
Speaker 1: It's seven oh five and fifty five karsite Talk Station,
Speaker 1: Happy Monday.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: One of the nice things about being the host of
Speaker 1: the fifty five krsite Morni Show as I finish on
Speaker 1: my eighteenth year, as the opportunity to spread the word
Speaker 1: on causes that I just think are absolutely wonderful and
Speaker 1: to be able to, you know, spread the word and
Speaker 1: let people know about it and maybe get people to
Speaker 1: help out, maybe inspire people to help out. It's just
Speaker 1: been one of the true blessings of this job. And
Speaker 1: for almost as long as I've been on radio, one
Speaker 1: of the organizations that I've been trying to spread news
Speaker 1: about is the Cure Starts Now. I was so inspired
Speaker 1: when I first met Keith and Brooke Desrich and they're
Speaker 1: obviously very sad. Tale that started the Cure Starts Now,
Speaker 1: which has just been a wonderful organization. They lost their
Speaker 1: daughter to pediatric brain cancer, and you know, as many
Speaker 1: people do, you can wallow in misery and you can
Speaker 1: you know, just sit back and say, oh God help
Speaker 1: me a bad hand and woe is me, or you
Speaker 1: can learn from it and decide you're going to do
Speaker 1: something about it. And that was what the inspiring thing
Speaker 1: about it was. They learned, you know, they dealt with
Speaker 1: their tragedy and they still deal with it to this day.
Speaker 1: But what a wonderful outcome after so many years. The
Speaker 1: Cure Starts Now going strong is now a global operation
Speaker 1: thanks to folks like my listeners who help out and
Speaker 1: contribute and participate and this strong community that they've created.
Speaker 1: Keith Destertz, Welcome back to the Morning Show, my friend.
Speaker 1: It's a real pleasure having you on to talk about
Speaker 1: the giving first campaign he got going on right now.
Speaker 10: Yes, thank you, Brian. Yeah, it's it's uh, you know,
Speaker 10: I know we normally get together. We'll talk about Greater's
Speaker 10: Ice cream. We'll talk about, you know, some of the
Speaker 10: bourbon raffles and things like that. This is just a
Speaker 10: pure opportunity to give thanks effectively.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 10: It started out as I think everybody knows about Giving Tuesday,
Speaker 10: and certainly you know about a Black Friday, small business Saturday,
Speaker 10: Cyber Monday, and then we get to giving Tuesday, and
Speaker 10: which is after.
Speaker 1: Something which as it comes after that after exactly right now,
Speaker 1: some of my listeners have said, wait a minute, what
Speaker 1: the hell is Giving Tuesday? Oh, I'm serious.
Speaker 10: Well, it's recognition that we focus on ourselves, or we
Speaker 10: focus on our families, but sometimes we don't.
Speaker 3: Focus on those that maybe the.
Speaker 10: Less fortunate once and it's a charity.
Speaker 3: Day, is what it is.
Speaker 10: But even still, it just seems wrong to kind of
Speaker 10: put that to the end. And we were kind of
Speaker 10: puzzled by that whole concept, and frankly, it felt like
Speaker 10: our kids and the fight against cancer was getting leftovers, if.
Speaker 2: You would, after Thanksgiving.
Speaker 10: And so what we did is we said that has
Speaker 10: to change, and so we created a thing called Giving First,
Speaker 10: and it puts it at the front of the chain
Speaker 10: and effectively is an ask to help us be able
Speaker 10: to beat cancer. And help us save our kids.
Speaker 1: Well, it sounds a wonderful idea moving it ahead of schedule.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: It's funny because I didn't connect the two in regarding
Speaker 1: our upcoming now conversation this morning, But this morning, in
Speaker 1: the five o'clock hour, I had just seen yet another
Speaker 1: article and every year they come out, you know, for
Speaker 1: the man who had gifts, for the man who has everything,
Speaker 1: gifts of the woman who has everything. Was like, well,
Speaker 1: if you have everything that you really need a gift.
Speaker 1: You know, if sus squad and struggle in the world
Speaker 1: to try to find something that's going to be in
Speaker 1: some way, shape or form meaningful to someone who's got everything,
Speaker 1: or at least you perceive and was having it, how
Speaker 1: about a charitable gift in their name. I think that,
Speaker 1: to me is the ideal kind of gift where someone
Speaker 1: doesn't really need anything.
Speaker 10: Well, and not to mention what we're what we focus
Speaker 10: on with cure starts nown was we focus on research,
Speaker 10: we focus on giving life, We focus on giving time.
Speaker 10: You know, these are kids just like my daughter, that
Speaker 10: facing cancers that are some of the most difficult cancers
Speaker 10: out there, cancers for which there is no cure, cancers
Speaker 10: that are almost one terminal. But these are the cancers
Speaker 10: that the experts believe if we can beat we can probably.
Speaker 2: Beat them all.
Speaker 3: And so this is what we focus on.
Speaker 10: But when you give this gift, what you're doing is
Speaker 10: you're giving time, You're giving you the benefit of good
Speaker 10: research and hopefully life. And you know, we're seeing some
Speaker 10: great results out of it. And this is just us
Speaker 10: asking to try to get some folks to get involved
Speaker 10: with it and participate on it. And it's not just
Speaker 10: local you'd started here, but as you pointed out, it's
Speaker 10: in even international at this point.
Speaker 1: It really is. It's just mind blowing. And how many
Speaker 1: years have you has it been since you started the
Speaker 1: care Starts.
Speaker 10: Now, Well, we lost our daughter seventeen years ago, so
Speaker 10: for about eighteen years, been in this fight for about
Speaker 10: nine months prior is her battle, and we've helped out
Speaker 10: thousands of families. We've been able to double the lifespan
Speaker 10: of these kids. That's not much considering we're only talking
Speaker 10: still about probably less than two years, but we've already
Speaker 10: uncovered some very very big things that have changed how
Speaker 10: we fight cancer for every type of cancer that's out there.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I talked to the OHC folks all
Speaker 1: the time, one because because I'm a patient, but I
Speaker 1: have them on the radio program, and they're always talking
Speaker 1: about these new car ties, cell therapies, the genetic level therapies.
Speaker 1: Has that entered into the pediatric brain cancer, the geoblastoma types.
Speaker 10: They they that and even even more beyond it, where
Speaker 10: that was something that you know, we're talking about and
Speaker 10: still part of of of a bigger strategy. But we're
Speaker 10: even talking about brand new types of radiation that's being
Speaker 10: developed here at since a children's hospital that we're participating
Speaker 10: on that actually is starting to be some effects that
Speaker 10: are similar to what we see with CARTI and some
Speaker 10: of the other strategies. So you know, it's there's some
Speaker 10: real cutting egg stuff here that just you won't find
Speaker 10: anywhere else we are talking about. We just we just
Speaker 10: had a grant. We affectionately called it our uh uh
Speaker 10: b f G project, and certainly that.
Speaker 2: Means big fat grant.
Speaker 10: And what that focuses on is as it focuses on
Speaker 10: the idea that we should change how we have effectively
Speaker 10: develop some of these therapies and maybe wrap them in
Speaker 10: different ways to create a continual effect that you know,
Speaker 10: it's more sustaining and more moderate that maybe the body
Speaker 10: will tolerate and change how we deal with every type
Speaker 10: of chemotherapy and.
Speaker 2: Various types of treatments out there.
Speaker 10: So, I mean there's some real big things that you
Speaker 10: get down in the weeds with it, but effectively Give
Speaker 10: First is the name of the event, and that's today
Speaker 10: we run. It's about four hours long, and we have
Speaker 10: hundreds of families worldwide that participated it. And what we're
Speaker 10: doing is is we're asking people to learn about their stories,
Speaker 10: to learn about this fight, and to help us by
Speaker 10: funding some very very good research. So we're going to
Speaker 10: do storytelling. It's kind of a telethon, but more importantly,
Speaker 10: it's stories of promise, of hope, and of great research
Speaker 10: that we're going to hope to inspire people to get involved. Well.
Speaker 1: And the one thing that I think it's important to emphasize,
Speaker 1: you're doing something that nobody else was ever doing because
Speaker 1: this pediatric brain cancer is such an aggressive cancer and
Speaker 1: does lead to death in a rather short period of time.
Speaker 1: It's not something that regularly got any funding. You know,
Speaker 1: people and breast cancer is important, it got a lot
Speaker 1: of funding, but your survival ray. With breast cancers a
Speaker 1: lot longer, getting longer every year, of course, but at
Speaker 1: least there was time to do clinical trials and focus
Speaker 1: on that. You know, with pediatric brain cancer, you know,
Speaker 1: by the time you get some child into some sort
Speaker 1: of treatment product, if there is any, you know that
Speaker 1: their time is up. So it has never been the
Speaker 1: focus of much funding. You've actually transformed that whole dynamic,
Speaker 1: coupled with the idea that you're one of the only
Speaker 1: organizations that I'm aware of in terms of cancer research
Speaker 1: that has coordinated cancer researchers from around the globe to
Speaker 1: share research and come up with something that maybe even
Speaker 1: far transcends pediatric brain cancer. The home run cure.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Well, and I'd like to break it down with folks
Speaker 10: that I mean, we all have been touched by cancer.
Speaker 10: I've been touched by other types of cancers within our family.
Speaker 10: I mean, certainly Brian, you've also been touched by cancer too.
Speaker 10: And at the end of the day, what it is
Speaker 10: is we're normally presented with you can do this, you
Speaker 10: continue participating chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, immunology, and you can have
Speaker 10: odds of maybe you know, thirty percent forty percent fifty,
Speaker 10: although we up to ninety percent. And if you're presented
Speaker 10: with those options, certainly you take them because it gives
Speaker 10: you some hope, It even gives you some odds with it.
Speaker 10: But the type of cancers that we're dealing with are
Speaker 10: cancers where they come to you and said, there's nothing
Speaker 10: and you're going to die from this. And so what
Speaker 10: happens is is these families, and sadly enough for our children,
Speaker 10: sometimes are forced to try things that.
Speaker 1: Are totally new.
Speaker 2: So we're actually inventing a new way.
Speaker 1: To cure cancer.
Speaker 10: Rather than surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunology. We have to
Speaker 10: create something brand new to really push the signs along
Speaker 10: rather than tweaking our way to treatments. And that's what
Speaker 10: cure starts now. He is, it's the hope of a
Speaker 10: home run cure. It's the belief that we have to
Speaker 10: really revolutionize how we focus on cancer. If we're going
Speaker 10: to cure it, we're going to get better at treating
Speaker 10: it every other way. But this, this is how we
Speaker 10: actually cure it for good. And the results are already here.
Speaker 10: You know, we would talk about hope eighteen years ago.
Speaker 10: We would talk about it even up to fifteen years ago.
Speaker 10: Now for the first time, we actually have some brand
Speaker 10: new things that no one has ever done, and it's
Speaker 10: it's strategies that are being used in every cancer out there,
Speaker 10: and they're being used worldwide.
Speaker 1: And it's all thanks to folks giving to the cure
Speaker 1: starts now tens of millions of dollars toward research over
Speaker 1: the years, and we can continue that. Your goal for
Speaker 1: today is eight hundred thousand dollars globally.
Speaker 10: Hundred thousand here to find another BFG project and we
Speaker 10: want to be able to cure cancer. And folks can
Speaker 10: see it by simply going to give dash first dot org.
Speaker 10: Let's give dash first dot org. You can watch it,
Speaker 10: you can hear the stories from five to eight. We
Speaker 10: hope that you donate to it and participate in it
Speaker 10: and help us fund some some really good, great research.
Speaker 10: And now you're going to learn about families that are
Speaker 10: here in the in the United States and Canada and Australia,
Speaker 10: even Japan. We just opened up a Japanese chapter this
Speaker 10: past week. And what we're trying to do is we're
Speaker 10: trying to unify a world to be able to finally
Speaker 10: beat cancer.
Speaker 1: Because we've talked about it enough.
Speaker 10: Now it's the time to actually care it.
Speaker 2: And be done with it.
Speaker 1: Well, and you've already created some inspiration for folks out
Speaker 1: there that previously, as you pointed out, had nothing to
Speaker 1: look forward to or nothing to hope for. So you've
Speaker 1: already almost at two hundred thousand dollars. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: this page right now again. Give dash first dot org.
Speaker 1: Just Derekkers put the link on my blog page fifty
Speaker 1: five KRC dot com. I mentioned it last Friday. It's
Speaker 1: up there again today, Today's today. Check it out, and
Speaker 1: please you know, five bucks, ten bucks, you got one
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, maybe a company out there once the done, eight, ten, twenty,
Speaker 1: they'll take whatever you can throw their way and it
Speaker 1: will be put to the best possible use. Keith, God
Speaker 1: bless you.
Speaker 10: Not to mention, we actually even have people who are
Speaker 10: matching it, so we actually have a situation. If somebody
Speaker 10: donates five dollars, it's going to be the effect of
Speaker 10: fifteen dollars.
Speaker 2: Oh so three times match, Yeah, three lots.
Speaker 3: It's kind of cool and we want to use up
Speaker 3: all of it.
Speaker 1: That's awesome, and God bless those folks out there, they're
Speaker 1: doing that, and God bless you and everyone involved in
Speaker 1: the cure starts now. I wish it never had to
Speaker 1: have started, but Keith you have done a wonderful job,
Speaker 1: you and Brooke and now people have inspiration and hope
Speaker 1: where none existed. And thanks to my listeners for in
Speaker 1: advance for helping out today give dash first dot or
Speaker 1: go to fifty five kresy dot com. I can't remember that, Keith,
Speaker 1: looking forward to some positive results on the fundraiser today.

Speaker 1: fifty five Casy Morning Show. It's time for the smith Man.
Speaker 1: Former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smithman,
Speaker 1: returns of the fifty five Carsey Morning Show every Monday
Speaker 1: at this time to vent his spleen. Welcome back, Christopher.
Speaker 1: Love having you on the show.
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you so much.
Speaker 2: Brian. You know, the Lake and Riley case in Georgia
Speaker 2: that will be back for the world to see is
Speaker 2: one of the reasons President Trump won the election. And
Speaker 2: if you remember, Georgia went to Biden by about twelve
Speaker 2: thousand votes four years ago. But when the Lake and
Speaker 2: Riley case broke that somebody who illegally came into this
Speaker 2: country made it to Georgia, hunted a college student. Are
Speaker 2: looking for a female college student to rape, and came
Speaker 2: upon Lake and Riley taking a jog, her normal jog,
Speaker 2: and he brutally murdered her. It sent a message to
Speaker 2: all Americans. It didn't matter whether you were black or white,
Speaker 2: or Latino or Asian. It was about your family, your daughters.
Speaker 2: And that could have been me and my situation. And
Speaker 2: people in Georgia, some of them suburban white women, were
Speaker 2: thinking most likely the southern border, so far away from me.
Speaker 2: This has nothing to do with me, and it has
Speaker 2: something to do with all of us that we have
Speaker 2: these types of people in our country who are praying
Speaker 2: on Americans like this, like what we're listening to. And
Speaker 2: even though Lake and Riley and no one should forget
Speaker 2: her name, she fought for her life and her devices
Speaker 2: that she had as a runner, because I was a
Speaker 2: long distance runner, that she had really showed her entire
Speaker 2: struggle in that fight for eighteen minutes when her heart
Speaker 2: ultimately stopped. Every parent in the United States of America
Speaker 2: could see themselves in that situation and never wanted it
Speaker 2: to happen to our babies. And so this election was
Speaker 2: everything about in Georgia, the Lake and Riley case, and
Speaker 2: it was one of the reasons President Trump wore in
Speaker 2: that state.
Speaker 1: Well, he certainly, I mean, obviously, we have a stark
Speaker 1: contrast and immigration policy between the Trump administration and the
Speaker 1: Biden administration, And lots of people are sort of out
Speaker 1: loud asking the question, what is with the Biden administration
Speaker 1: and its refusal to secure the border. Many think people
Speaker 1: are there, you know, population replacement. Oh, we need more
Speaker 1: workers to do the jobs Americans are not doing. Come
Speaker 1: up with their own reason. But open borders means many countries,
Speaker 1: and we all know this has happened. It's been well documented,
Speaker 1: literally emptied their prisons. This is not the first time
Speaker 1: it's happened under Biden's watch. It's happened to the prior
Speaker 1: administrations too. You know, the Cubans could overwhelm, empty the prisons,
Speaker 1: send them to Florida. It's you're going to get the
Speaker 1: worst of the worst, especially if a government is helping
Speaker 1: facilitate the transfer of those evil people from their country
Speaker 1: into the United States.
Speaker 2: And the scary thing, Brian Thomas, is that we know
Speaker 2: that there are still millions of people like Lake and
Speaker 2: Riley's killer still roaming our country, our states, our city,
Speaker 2: our blocks. And it's a very serious issue. And it's
Speaker 2: been very frustrating to listen to the governor of California
Speaker 2: who is positioning himself like he does he is not
Speaker 2: a part of the United States of America, and that
Speaker 2: there is some fight where he has to ignore the
Speaker 2: laws of this country. And so whether it's New York
Speaker 2: or whether it's California, I'm suggesting to every American, this
Speaker 2: is our business no matter your political persuasion. It doesn't
Speaker 2: matter whether you're a Democrat or Republican or an independent.
Speaker 2: Can't we just agree that having people in our country
Speaker 2: illegally who are murderers and rapists and thieves that came
Speaker 2: from the prisons that you're talking about, that they should
Speaker 2: be removed from our country and sit back. Can't we
Speaker 2: just agree with that basic point in honor and attribute
Speaker 2: to the life of Lake and Riley Well.
Speaker 1: I think that's why Donald Trump not only won the
Speaker 1: electoral College, but the popular vote for the first time
Speaker 1: in however many years decades by five million votes. Yes,
Speaker 1: I think the vast majority of people agree with everything
Speaker 1: you're saying, Christopher Smithman, and the immigration problem and the
Speaker 1: one that Biden created for one of the reasons that
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's team Kamala Harris did not get elected and
Speaker 1: they brought back Donald Trump. Evil Orange Man. Will continue
Speaker 1: with Christopher smith Aman in one more discussion after I
Speaker 1: break for a pause for Susette Loew's camp. You love
Speaker 1: Susette Loe's camp, and I know you will because she
Speaker 1: is just such a sweet person and for Mortgages, the
Speaker 1: only one you want to talk to. She's got more
Speaker 1: experience than probably anybody in the business with more than
Speaker 1: thirty five years, like probably thirty six now. But she's
Speaker 1: the sweet as she can be, very wonderful at customer service,
Speaker 1: knows everything there is and will help you quickly. That's right,
Speaker 1: thanks to my daughter now engaged, I get to throw
Speaker 1: that in there again. I'm so happy. First she got
Speaker 1: engaged over the weekend, so she and Eric are now engaged,
Speaker 1: me married. But she helped them get their house. They
Speaker 1: are so happy in it. It's just the beautiful thing
Speaker 1: to behold. And just a couple of days of working
Speaker 1: with Suzette secured financing for those young people, and I
Speaker 1: thought it was great. She took my advice. My daughter
Speaker 1: even listens to me, and I recommend you did too,
Speaker 1: because she's licensed in all fifty states being with Cross
Speaker 1: Country Mortgage including Puerto Rico, no junk fees, no application fees,
Speaker 1: great rates at a low cost. So regardless of why

Speaker 1: having you on the show? What else is on your mind?
Speaker 2: Well, brother, I was listening to your show like I
Speaker 2: do every morning from five to nine am in the morning,
Speaker 2: and I heard your guest talking about being touched by
Speaker 2: cancer so many families. I happened to be come by
Speaker 2: a fundraiser yesterday for a young lady by the name
Speaker 2: of Elise Vndermeyer, and she has Hopskin's lymphomia foma stage
Speaker 2: four in her early thirties, two young children, and the
Speaker 2: community at Jim and Jack's on the River here on
Speaker 2: the west side of town really came together just extended
Speaker 2: love and support for her and her children, and her
Speaker 2: husband and her family. And so I was just listening
Speaker 2: riveting your last guest talking about how cancer is impacting
Speaker 2: all of us and how we have to continue to
Speaker 2: raise money in order to turn back and get better care,
Speaker 2: better research for those who are suffering. So it was
Speaker 2: a touching and emotional interview that I was listening to
Speaker 2: early and I want to thank you for it.
Speaker 1: Oh and I think Keith eeschrich because he and his
Speaker 1: wife they provide the inspiration. I mean, can you imagine
Speaker 1: losing your daughter at such a tender young age and then,
Speaker 1: rather than just letting it impact you for the rest
Speaker 1: of your life, you decide, you know what, We're going
Speaker 1: to do something about this. We're going to do the
Speaker 1: hard work. We're going to start an organization and we're
Speaker 1: going to figure out a way to prevent this from
Speaker 1: happening to other families. And wildly successful. Again, they've been
Speaker 1: at this for eighteen years. They've raised tens of millions
Speaker 1: of dollars, and they've also had demonstrable success. As it
Speaker 1: was like, it only takes a couple of people get
Speaker 1: an idea going provide the foundation for others to assist you.
Speaker 1: There's so many people out there that want to help.
Speaker 1: They just don't know how to start, They don't want
Speaker 1: to start, they don't have the wherewithal, but they got
Speaker 1: a check book or they got some extra time. You
Speaker 1: give them the ability to help and they will come.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, absolutely absolutely, and so I
Speaker 2: just want to lift up again a lease Vandermeyer and
Speaker 2: her entire family. You're gonna make it. You're gonna beat this,
Speaker 2: and we send our prayers out. I want to just
Speaker 2: pivot into WHOOPI Goldberg as I conclude.
Speaker 3: You know, I used to be a very big fan of.
Speaker 1: Hold On, Christopher. I have since we're all of a
Speaker 1: sudden of time of this break, I am not going
Speaker 1: to cut this conversation short. So it's seven thirty four,
Speaker 1: So stop right now. I'm going to bring you back

Speaker 1: Chuck Ingrad Month fifty five krs. The talk station seven
Speaker 1: fifty five k seed E talks station Happy Monday talking
Speaker 1: with Christopher Smith and the Smith event. Had to shut
Speaker 1: that conversation down because he was getting ready to dive
Speaker 1: into Woopy Goldberg. Of course, On the View not exactly
Speaker 1: a favorite television program of mind a lot of batcrap insanity,
Speaker 1: if I may be so bold, but I read a
Speaker 1: few articles about Woopy stepping in it, and I wanted
Speaker 1: to give you some extra time to address this one.
Speaker 1: Christopher Smithman, go ahead, well you.
Speaker 2: Know, will you know, Brian, I'm a small business owner.
Speaker 2: There are a lot of small business owners out there,
Speaker 2: and for Whoopy Goldberg to first pick on that small
Speaker 2: business in the time that we're in, meaning we're in
Speaker 2: tough economic times, it was absolutely outrageous, and they clearly
Speaker 2: no one was slighting her. The owner of the business
Speaker 2: of the bakery came out and said, listen, we were
Speaker 2: having problems, you know, with our boiler. This had nothing
Speaker 2: to do with Wooby Goldberg. It had nothing to do
Speaker 2: with her politics, It had nothing to do with her race,
Speaker 2: it had nothing to do with her gender. We were
Speaker 2: just a business that was struggling, and when she made
Speaker 2: the order, we couldn't meet it, and so for her.
Speaker 1: But she made the order a couple weeks in advance,
Speaker 1: and at that time they were trying to manage her
Speaker 1: expectations because their boilers were down and they didn't know
Speaker 1: if they'd be able to fill it in time, and
Speaker 1: they didn't want to disappoint her by saying, well, you know,
Speaker 1: we couldn't get the situation fixed, we can't make good
Speaker 1: on it. So they were managing an expectation. They were
Speaker 1: doing what every good business does.
Speaker 10: And they would be She would be crazy to think,
Speaker 10: no matter what her political persuasion was, her having those
Speaker 10: treats live on TV helps them, doesn't hurt them, right,
Speaker 10: So she gets on the she gets on the National
Speaker 10: TV and just starts blasting that one hundred and forty
Speaker 10: six year old business. But by the way, if boomerang
Speaker 10: not only on her, if boomerang not only on their
Speaker 10: on their show The View, but it enhanced the profile
Speaker 10: of a bakery that you and I would not have
Speaker 10: even known about if we didn't live on the East,
Speaker 10: on the East Coast. And so the problem with all
Speaker 10: of this victimization, meaning this is an example of someone
Speaker 10: who just bathes in being a victim. They walk around
Speaker 10: every day thinking somebody is out to get me. And
Speaker 10: so no one was out to get Woopy Goldberg. This
Speaker 10: was a business that was having a problem, and she
Speaker 10: decided she was going to go on National TV and
Speaker 10: attempt to destroy them, to smash them like a fly
Speaker 10: using her profile to come down hard, and it just
Speaker 10: blew up in her face.
Speaker 3: All of those.
Speaker 2: Wonderful uh desserts that were sitting out there just exploded
Speaker 2: upon her. And people are calling from all over the
Speaker 2: United States of America saying, listen, I'm in Alabama, I'm
Speaker 2: in Texas. I want to get whatever you have. Oh,
Speaker 2: we can't ship it to you. Hey, I'm making a donation.
Speaker 2: Give it to somebody else over the holidays. My point
Speaker 2: to you is that this is what was wrong with
Speaker 2: the media from the beginning, meaning they've always been getting
Speaker 2: it wrong. They sat back and called the called ice
Speaker 2: through their vice presidential candidate, the KKK. How do you
Speaker 2: think it made the Lake and Riley community feel? They
Speaker 2: talk about Trump being hitler, they've called the most recent
Speaker 2: appointments white supremacists, and now Whoopi Goldberg says they're after
Speaker 2: me because of my political views. As I try to
Speaker 2: buy some dessert, I'm saying, shame on this. On the
Speaker 2: on the on the mainstream media, they still have it
Speaker 2: wrong and they still have not learned their lessons from
Speaker 2: the last two years.
Speaker 1: Do you think they will? I guess because you know,
Speaker 1: I've seen some reports like for example, the Los Angeles Times,
Speaker 1: which I guess refused to endorse the candidate, and the
Speaker 1: left within all blew up and like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is terrible. I quit you needed to endorse Kamala Harris,
Speaker 1: and the owner said, no, We're gonna start trying to
Speaker 1: take a more fair and balance approach to news these days,
Speaker 1: because clearly the election reflected that in spite of the
Speaker 1: drum beat over the past seven years, eight years, however long,
Speaker 1: they've been beating the crap out of Donald Trump, which
Speaker 1: has been day one since he threw his hat in
Speaker 1: the ring to become president. They have been wailing on
Speaker 1: that guy. Obviously it had well, it had an impact.
Speaker 1: Perhaps in twenty twenty some people can test the outcome
Speaker 1: of the election. I'm not one, just let it go.
Speaker 1: But look how badly Trump beat Kamala Harris and the
Speaker 1: Democrats across the board in this election in spite of
Speaker 1: the constant drumbeat and kinda in spite of the crucifixag
Speaker 1: crucifixion of Donald Trump at a daily basis hitler, fascist,
Speaker 1: xenophobe hubbub, he kicked the living hell out of him
Speaker 1: and won the popular boat by like five million people.
Speaker 1: They've really been kicked back on their heels. So to
Speaker 1: the Whoopie Goldberg's of the world and the New York
Speaker 1: Times of the world, and to the other press out
Speaker 1: there in the mainstream media on television, do you think
Speaker 1: they're going to realize the eirr of their ways, that
Speaker 1: we the American people, are not as dumb as they
Speaker 1: take us to be, or are they going to stick
Speaker 1: to their current script.
Speaker 2: I think they're going to stick to their current script,
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas. But I also want to share with you
Speaker 2: is what you saw happen at the UFC fight at
Speaker 2: Madison Square Gardens in New York where President elect Trump
Speaker 2: walks into that stadium with twenty thousand people and it
Speaker 2: looks like he's about to get in the octagon himself.
Speaker 2: You would think he was walking in and he was
Speaker 2: about to take off his shirt and fight himself. My
Speaker 2: point is that's the disconnect from the media, the mainstream media.
Speaker 2: They don't understand that people are hurting out here and
Speaker 2: they are tired of being demonized because they say things
Speaker 2: like listen, I support the LGBTQ plus community, but I
Speaker 2: don't want a dude in the swimming pool with my daughter.
Speaker 2: That doesn't make people ridiculous who live in Prebo County
Speaker 2: in our state are someone who lives in the suburbs
Speaker 2: of California. People are tired of all of the identity politics,
Speaker 2: and we want to get together and solve the problems
Speaker 2: in America, the border, inflation, right housing issues. And they
Speaker 2: got tired of watching people go, guess what, We're going
Speaker 2: to put you up in a hotel. You came here illegally,
Speaker 2: but we don't have any money for people in North
Speaker 2: Carolina outside of seven hundred and fifty dollars. We were
Speaker 2: going through a hurricane and the White House said our
Speaker 2: solution for you at the beginning was seven hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty dollars. My point to you is if anybody did
Speaker 2: not see you at the UFC walk in by by
Speaker 2: Trump and watch the mainstream media today who won't even
Speaker 2: cover the Lake and Riley of cover. They're not even
Speaker 2: covering what's happening in that courtroom, with that, with that
Speaker 2: American family whose daughter was murdered by somebody who shouldn't
Speaker 2: have been here, who was released in New York and
Speaker 2: came and created hell upon a Georgia resident. I'm saying
Speaker 2: to you, to everybody here, we should be demanding that MSNBC,
Speaker 2: that CNN, that ABC, that NBC, that all of them
Speaker 2: should be showing the Lake and Riley a court case,
Speaker 2: just like they did when they when they were showing
Speaker 2: other high profile court cases around the world. I'm just
Speaker 2: saying to you, Brian, I'm tired of it.
Speaker 3: Man. That could have been my daughter.
Speaker 2: That could have been my baby. Man, that could have
Speaker 2: been your daughter. Congrass she's getting married. That could have
Speaker 2: been any of our families. That's what this election was about.
Speaker 2: My brother and I say, hey, look Woopi Goldberg, goodbye,
Speaker 2: We're tired of your craziness. And let me end by saying,
Speaker 2: in love to a least Vandermeyer, a fourth stage Hoskins
Speaker 2: with FOMA patient, we support you and your family and
Speaker 2: your two children and your husband, because that's what this
Speaker 2: country is about. It's about coming together, no matter your race,
Speaker 2: no matter your gender, no matter where you live, and
Speaker 2: just support people. And that's where I stopped through at
Speaker 2: Jim and Jack's and said, hey, I experienced this. My
Speaker 2: wide died of breast cancer, and even though she wasn't
Speaker 2: a survivor, we're gonna make you a survivor. We're gonna
Speaker 2: make you, Brian Thomas, a survivor. We're gonna make anybody
Speaker 2: listening today who's laying in their bed saying I don't
Speaker 2: have hope.
Speaker 3: We're gonna give them hope.
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas, thank you so much for allowing me to
Speaker 2: come on your show.
Speaker 1: Brother, Always a pleasure. I appreciate the opportunity to hear
Speaker 1: from you, and I appreciate that passion in your voice,
Speaker 1: especially on a topic like cancer and of course illegal
Speaker 1: immigration and the tragedy that's that that that illustrates right there, Christopher.

Speaker 1: I'm a very happy Monday to you, so starting them
Speaker 1: with my cough, and I've been apologizing all morning for that.
Speaker 1: There's really nothing I can do about it. Nature's healing
Speaker 1: properties aren't working with me. But then again, if you've
Speaker 1: had this SRV, you probably know the same thing. It
Speaker 1: could be weeks and I'm hoping it's not. Let's see
Speaker 1: if Top of the Air news is gonna hear from
Speaker 1: Money Mondy's Brian James, inflation tariffs, how social Security recipients
Speaker 1: are apparently upset about their cost of living adjustments, and
Speaker 1: how much is Thanksgiving gonna cost you this year? Tomorrow?
Speaker 1: I am very much. I always look forward to Tuesdays
Speaker 1: because of the inside scoop with Bright Barton News. But
Speaker 1: given the developments going on between Ukraine and Russia, and
Speaker 1: just Russia independent of the war with Ukraine, I see
Speaker 1: they shut off the gas to Austria. They have limited
Speaker 1: their exports of enriched uranium to the United States, which
Speaker 1: think about that concept. We have to rely on the
Speaker 1: Russians for enriched uranium. Apparently Russia if had no details
Speaker 1: or timeline off for its uranium export restrictions. The announcement
Speaker 1: was on Friday. Russian continues apparently leveraging energy as a
Speaker 1: geopolitical tool and then pointing out to Austria. Austria actually
Speaker 1: won a court battle, which is why they didn't pay
Speaker 1: the Russians for the current supply of natural gas. They
Speaker 1: were awarded like two hundred and fifty million dollars or something.
Speaker 1: So rather than you know, I guess, try to go
Speaker 1: after Russia to get that money, they just said, well, well,
Speaker 1: what does not pay you for what's coming in now?
Speaker 1: Until we reached the amount of the settlement or of
Speaker 1: the legal resolution, they just shut them off. But that
Speaker 1: we have to rely on Russia for US enriched uranium.
Speaker 1: It's just it's mind boggling. This on the cusp of
Speaker 1: what appears to be an opening to the whole concept
Speaker 1: of nuclear plants being opened more readily in the United
Speaker 1: States of America. It's an interesting quirk to that reality,
Speaker 1: isn't it just in time? So supporting the Russian and
Speaker 1: the build up of their military and apparently the Russians.
Speaker 1: Russians ongoing war against Ukraine, doing so with American dollars,
Speaker 1: at least up until recently when they suspended the enrich
Speaker 1: uranium production. Crazy, impossible to understand world in which we live.
Speaker 1: Let's try to understand money matters. After the top of
Speaker 1: the our news money money with Brian James coming right up.
Speaker 1: Ever changing world. There's one constance you can depend on.
Speaker 1: Fifty five krc the talk station.
Speaker 2: At the top end, bottom of the hour. This rebear anytime,
Speaker 2: take your info to go.
Speaker 3: I'm listening your powered by.
Speaker 1: Fifty five krs the talk station eight A five Here
Speaker 1: at fifty five KRCD talk station. Very happy Monday too.
Speaker 1: It is that time of day and time of week
Speaker 1: every Monday at this time. Brian James all with financials.
Speaker 1: Brian James, help us out with money matters. We're going
Speaker 1: to talk a little money Monday. Welcome back, Brian. I
Speaker 1: hope you had a nice weekend.
Speaker 9: Good morning, and welcome to Red's Hot Stovely right, it's
Speaker 9: time to change our focus to that.
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess I watched a lot of football.
Speaker 1: I said I stially didn't stay out for the Bengals game.
Speaker 1: Thank god it didn't bother with that. But it's real
Speaker 1: exciting football. But I have to keep pointing out for
Speaker 1: listeners who are just now tuning in. I now have
Speaker 1: and engaged a daughter. They got engaged over the weekend,
Speaker 1: So Eric and Lauren are going to be wet and
Speaker 1: I'm as excited as I can. We are all excited
Speaker 1: about it. So really great news from the Thomas family
Speaker 1: this this Monday. So just had you and her and everybody, well,
Speaker 1: thank you man. He's a good kid and they seem
Speaker 1: to be a great team, which is really inspirational to everybody.
Speaker 1: All Right, inflation tariffs. We know Donald Trump's president elect,
Speaker 1: and he's been talking tariffs for a long time. I
Speaker 1: read the Wall Street Journal every single day of my life,
Speaker 1: and you get some Some are saying terrible ideas. Some
Speaker 1: are saying maybe not a bad idea. Got to be
Speaker 1: delicate about it. There's some upsides, there's some downsides. It
Speaker 1: seems like opinions are like sphincter's. Everybody's got one, but
Speaker 1: inflation and tariff's number one on the topic list for you,
Speaker 1: Brian James, what's your take on all this? We don't
Speaker 1: even really know quite where the tariffs are going to
Speaker 1: be imposed yet, do we Brian Hell's bells? Can you
Speaker 1: try to get him back there? Joe don't know how
Speaker 1: to get him back. I don't know how the system operates.
Speaker 1: Looks like Joe's cursing. I can't hear what's coming out
Speaker 1: of his mouth. It's not shocking at all. Regard anyway.
Speaker 1: President elect Donald Trump has promised manufacturing renaissance. Checking out
Speaker 1: the USA Today reporting on this when he gets back,
Speaker 1: pledging terraces to bolster companies and make products in the
Speaker 1: United States, drive up prices for imported goods to make
Speaker 1: America make products more appealing. And you can see how
Speaker 1: this could have a negative repercussions because it's inexpensive to
Speaker 1: manufacturer stuff in China, which is why everything went to China.
Speaker 1: They don't have OSHA, they don't have EPA, they don't
Speaker 1: have obligations for the well global warming problems. They have
Speaker 1: inexpensive energy. They build coal plants every day while we
Speaker 1: cut our throats and cut back on our abundant, inexpensive energy.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make any damn set what Oh, Brian you back,
Speaker 1: I'm here, you there, I can hear you. Now go ahead,
Speaker 1: and I was just diving into the article that you
Speaker 1: on this tariff issue. I'm not quite sure where we
Speaker 1: are on this. What's your take on the concept of
Speaker 1: tariffs and basically, how can can we terrify ourselves into
Speaker 1: a competitive playing field, because I was just going on
Speaker 1: over all the reasons all the manufacturing appears to have
Speaker 1: moved to China over the years. Well, they don't have
Speaker 1: minimum waves, they don't have OSHA, they don't have EPA,
Speaker 1: they have abundant cheap energy, they have coal plants churning out,
Speaker 1: belching out in carbon, and they don't seem to care
Speaker 1: about it. The global warming. People don't seem to tear
Speaker 1: about it when they do it, But if Western European
Speaker 1: countries do it, then they care about it, and we
Speaker 1: get spanked and ridiculed and are told to cut our
Speaker 1: throats in the name of saving the globe. So can
Speaker 1: you create a competitive environment through tariffs?
Speaker 9: Brian James, Well, it's tough to say that raising prices
Speaker 9: and raising the costs of manufacturing things is actually going
Speaker 9: to drive prices down.
Speaker 3: So that's another headline.
Speaker 9: So what's that stakes here? President like Donald Trump, of
Speaker 9: course plans to put in some aggressive tariffs. This range
Speaker 9: is from sixty percent to one hundred percent on stuff
Speaker 9: coming out of China. Basically Matt saying something that costs
Speaker 9: you ten bucks last year will could cost you twenty
Speaker 9: bucks this year when it comes to tacking a tariff
Speaker 9: onto it. And not only China is in the crosshairs,
Speaker 9: it's also he's looking at twenty percent on imports from
Speaker 9: other countries. So these are if you boil this down
Speaker 9: to the most basic elements, putting tariffs on something raises
Speaker 9: the price of creating it and shipping it out. So
Speaker 9: manufacturers aren't going to generally stand around and simply take that.
Speaker 9: They're going to pass the prices. On matter of fact,
Speaker 9: we've heard directly from Stanley Black and Decker and AutoZone
Speaker 9: and some other major manufacturers who have just said they're
Speaker 9: going to be they're planning on passing these onto customers.
Speaker 9: So whatever the outcome here is, it's hard to see
Speaker 9: that this is not an inflationary type of environment. Maybe
Speaker 9: over the longer haul, I think that the best possible
Speaker 9: outcome over a very long period of time is that
Speaker 9: this force is manufacturing to come back home and perhaps
Speaker 9: creates more jobs and so on and so forth, But
Speaker 9: we are not looking at here is a method to
Speaker 9: produce prices overall. So this is not something that's going
Speaker 9: to battle in place. And that's a whole different approach.
Speaker 1: Well, and I tend to agree with that. Logic and
Speaker 1: reasons suggests that is the outcome. But even if the idea,
Speaker 1: you know, hits something, okay, blocking dectors, all right, all right, right,
Speaker 1: all right, right, these tariffs are killing us. Is causing
Speaker 1: the price of the drill to go up double And well,
Speaker 1: let's bring it back to the United States. Could you
Speaker 1: sell a drill I'm just using that as a random example,
Speaker 1: obviously for less money if it is manufactured here in
Speaker 1: the United States. First off, you've got to have you
Speaker 1: have the the operation, the manufacturing facility built, because we
Speaker 1: don't have those anymore. You need to employ Americans that
Speaker 1: probably pretty expensive, maybe even union level jobs. You've got
Speaker 1: the problem with electricity being more and more expensive because
Speaker 1: of the blank and green environment that we have shoved
Speaker 1: down our throw so that the Chinese don't have to
Speaker 1: deal with. Wouldn't we be better off with a drill
Speaker 1: that costs you know, twenty percent more or one hundred
Speaker 1: percent more coming from China still save more money than
Speaker 1: if it was even manufactured here, because something suggests that
Speaker 1: we can't compete even if you throw tariffs on there.
Speaker 9: Yeah, So, as I think about this, let's say these
Speaker 9: tariffs come in and they cause a Chinese drill or
Speaker 9: a Chinese manufacturer drill to cost more than a drill
Speaker 9: you know that would be manufactured here. Something tells me
Speaker 9: that the consumer is still going to be paying more
Speaker 9: no matter what, because in that case, an American based
Speaker 9: manufacturer can simply write raise their own prices to fill
Speaker 9: up that gap, but still leave it just shy of
Speaker 9: the cost of the Chinese drill, which gives them the
Speaker 9: ability to waive the American flag and say, look, it's
Speaker 9: cheaper to buy here, when at the end of the day,
Speaker 9: the consumer is still paying more either way. Because remember,
Speaker 9: at the at the end of the day of the
Speaker 9: decision makers at any publicly traded company, their duties lie
Speaker 9: to their shareholders, not their customers. Right, so if the
Speaker 9: market permits them to charge more, they will do so.
Speaker 1: So are we left to just I guess I want
Speaker 1: to say allowed China to walk all over is because
Speaker 1: of their low regulatory price and their inexpensive labor and
Speaker 1: cheap electricity. If we can't compete with that, leaving tariffs
Speaker 1: off the table, then we're never going to be able
Speaker 1: to bring manufacturing back to the United States.
Speaker 3: It's a tough tell.
Speaker 9: Remember, there already are tariffs in place. We've had tariffs
Speaker 9: in place since the first Trump administration, So that happened
Speaker 9: in July of twenty eighteen. We impose tariffs on about
Speaker 9: thirty four billion dollars worth of imports, and then in
Speaker 9: August another sixteen billion dollars worth. Some of those tariffs
Speaker 9: were kept in place by the Biden administration. So at
Speaker 9: the end of the day, when we look at the
Speaker 9: equation that has created the inflationary environment we're in now,
Speaker 9: we can't ignore the fact that we've already tried this before.
Speaker 9: Tariffs do not battle inflation. They cause inflation. That's a
Speaker 9: that's a different fight. We're trying to bring work and
Speaker 9: jobs back on shore. But this is something that's going
Speaker 9: to make inflation worse before it coul better well.
Speaker 1: And the reason that manufacturing these products around the world
Speaker 1: now as opposed to hear domestically is i mean, let's
Speaker 1: face it, companies are not weed to any particular administration
Speaker 1: or any particular country. They're not American companies. They're global companies.
Speaker 1: They're going to go where they can maximize their profit.
Speaker 1: Going back to the obligation they have to shareholders. If
Speaker 1: they can make it in China, make more money, maximize profit,
Speaker 1: they're going to make it there. They're not beholden to
Speaker 1: the United States of America in a patriotic way, like
Speaker 1: if you go back and look at the old Soviet
Speaker 1: Union versus the United States days when there was actually
Speaker 1: patriotism in the air, that seems to have dissipated.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think people won't buy it anymore, and it's
Speaker 9: not necessary to try to sell it. I think people
Speaker 9: at the end of the day are no longer conclude
Speaker 9: that companies are really fighting for the benefit of their
Speaker 9: home country. That's just not the case. They fight for
Speaker 9: the benefit of profit margin. And if that means they
Speaker 9: need to pull up the ten stakes and move to
Speaker 9: some other country based on a more favorable tax environment
Speaker 9: or some kind of inflationary environment or natural resources being
Speaker 9: president or whatever, that's what they're gonna do.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 9: One of the companies headlined in here is called Vermont Flannel.
Speaker 9: Vermont Flannel came out and said they will be passing
Speaker 9: prices onto their customers. I've not heard of Vermont flannel,
Speaker 9: but I'm gonna go out on a Limbrian and guess
Speaker 9: that they don't make flannel in Vermont anymore.
Speaker 1: Probably not all right, let's pause. Apparently Social Security recipients
Speaker 1: are not real thrilled about the cost of a living
Speaker 1: increase that they get. Maybe not quite enough in this
Speaker 1: inflationary environment. More with Money Monday's Brian James after a
Speaker 1: word for your safety, Chimneycare, Fireplace and Stove strongly encourage you,
Speaker 1: as I have been lately, Please run out today and
Speaker 1: get yourself a carbon monoxide detector if you don't have one.

Speaker 1: know if the Chimneycare fireplaces stuff cells, but they would
Speaker 1: certainly recommend it. Beyond that, they can check your chimneys
Speaker 1: and fireplaces for safety. They did it at my house.
Speaker 1: I had to take out the old insert that the
Speaker 1: builder put in because it was a fire hazard. That's
Speaker 1: what an inspection can reveal. I'm glad now I can
Speaker 1: safely and confidently and comfortably turn my fireplace on any
Speaker 1: time I want, and it's awesome. The insert that I
Speaker 1: got is all remote control, total first world. You know,
Speaker 1: flame adjustments and lighting adjustments and the venting adjustments and
Speaker 1: how much heat you bring into the room, all fully adjustable.
Speaker 1: One of the options you got with the Chimneycare Fireplaces stove.

Speaker 1: krc DE talk station. Brian Thomas talking with Brian James
Speaker 1: for Money Monday. Care about this all the time, the
Speaker 1: cost of living adjustment for Social Security. I guess every
Speaker 1: year and some years it's okay, and some years better
Speaker 1: than others. And I don't know what what indicator they
Speaker 1: base the cost of living on, Brian, because sometimes the
Speaker 1: inflation indicators take out things like food and gasoline, which
Speaker 1: impact literally every American. But this year, apparently seniors are
Speaker 1: not real thrilled with the two and a half percent increase,
Speaker 1: averaging about fifty bucks a month for the normal average recipient,
Speaker 1: not quite enough to cover the grocery bill. Brian, Right,
Speaker 1: So this year.
Speaker 9: Everybody's looking at a two and a half percent raise
Speaker 9: in SOB security. Now I remember this, this is for
Speaker 9: people who are already receiving so security. If you haven't
Speaker 9: turned on your Social Securities FIGOT yet, you're continuing to
Speaker 9: get an eight percent increase, which different story, but that's
Speaker 9: a little bit part of the problem. We set that
Speaker 9: in stone eight percent increases sixty seventy years ago. But
Speaker 9: in any case, now for those current recipients two and
Speaker 9: a half percent, and a little bit of history. I
Speaker 9: think we might have gotten maybe a little bit addicted
Speaker 9: to the most recent increases. So twenty twenty four was
Speaker 9: three point two percent, and then the whopper was twenty
Speaker 9: twenty three, where we hit eight point seven percent of
Speaker 9: pay increases for the character recipients. Yeah, so I think
Speaker 9: we're kind of back to quote unquote and whatever normal is.
Speaker 9: We're back to what we usually see. Maybe I'll praise
Speaker 9: it that way. And I think you're right that because
Speaker 9: I hear my own clients and talking about their parents
Speaker 9: in the inflation rates on the increases in so security
Speaker 9: don't quite cover without the increases and actual prices are.
Speaker 9: It's simply based on off of CPI, and there have
Speaker 9: been movements Brian to talk about moving that to something
Speaker 9: called the CPIE, which is the Consumer Price Index for
Speaker 9: the Elderly, which, as you might expect, it focuses more
Speaker 9: on the categories that are significant for seniors, and that's healthcare, housing,
Speaker 9: and prescription drugs, things like that. Now, unfortunately this has
Speaker 9: been kicked around in Congress a few times, and it
Speaker 9: was last discussed though February of twenty twenty three as
Speaker 9: part of the Fair Coola Act, which the House Ways
Speaker 9: and Means brought it on the floor, talked about it
Speaker 9: and said, hey, let's send it to a committee, and
Speaker 9: the committee promptly did nothing with it. We haven't discussed
Speaker 9: it since, so I think one of the hard cells
Speaker 9: of this is Social Security, as you and I discussed
Speaker 9: every now and then, is not budgeted for. It's something out.
Speaker 3: There that we are obligated. It has to be paid.
Speaker 9: However, we do not account for it. All the budgetary
Speaker 9: problems we have going on right now, social Security is
Speaker 9: not in there, and I think there's a lot of
Speaker 9: hesitance to shine a bright light on that by making
Speaker 9: social Security a bigger program than it is. Since we
Speaker 9: don't have a plan for it.
Speaker 1: We do not have a place for it, and the
Speaker 1: numbers on paper look terrible. If you look about funding
Speaker 1: and the amount of dollars coming in versus the amount
Speaker 1: of dollars rolling out, it's well, it's design has currently
Speaker 1: created to fail. But let me ask you one thing.
Speaker 1: You mentioned healthcare, housing, and drugs as three very important
Speaker 1: components of seniors' expenses, and who can argue with that?
Speaker 1: I circled housing because if you came up with a
Speaker 1: better plan for the cost of living adjustments within Social
Speaker 1: Security and ignoring the budgetary implications, how can you deal
Speaker 1: with a housing market that has blown up in terms
Speaker 1: of the value of real estate, which has had an
Speaker 1: obviously corollary impact on real estate taxes? And I hear
Speaker 1: this all the time. Seniors cannot handle a thirty percent
Speaker 1: increase in the price of real estate taxes. Social Security
Speaker 1: can't do anything about that because that's all local. It's
Speaker 1: all very different state to state. I mean, that's an impossibility,
Speaker 1: right there, isn't it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 9: There's a big conflict there because Social Security, of course,
Speaker 9: is based off of federal numbers, some kind of average
Speaker 9: that affects the entire country. While necessarily some of the
Speaker 9: expenses that get cited by seniors as being out of
Speaker 9: whack are in places they can't control. So the answer
Speaker 9: can't simply be you may have to consider moving to
Speaker 9: some other area that's more that's a little friendlier fear situation.
Speaker 9: Housing prices incidentally up about a half a percent in
Speaker 9: month over month in October twenty four, four point nine
Speaker 9: percent year over year, so we're still seeing these issues
Speaker 9: despite you know what we have heard about, you know,
Speaker 9: the economy being having a lot of issues and maybe
Speaker 9: that will slow things down, but it just simply hasn't happened.
Speaker 9: Even mortgage rates being higher than they've been in twenty
Speaker 9: twenty five years have has not done anything to slow
Speaker 9: it down. So, yeah, this does hit seniors pretty quickly. Again, yes,
Speaker 9: you're referring to property taxes, but that's the same idea.
Speaker 9: As long as there's demand, there will be higher property taxes.
Speaker 9: Localities will have to consider do we want to continue
Speaker 9: to have send that money toward the you know, the
Speaker 9: most of them send those dollars toward the education programs
Speaker 9: they have in place, but perhaps in the future there'll
Speaker 9: have to be some rethinking of.
Speaker 1: That well, and considering what you do for a living.
Speaker 1: That's financial planning, Brian James. I mean this illustrates even
Speaker 1: further younger people, people who are still in working age,
Speaker 1: maximizing their savings toward retirement so they can better manage
Speaker 1: these fluctuations.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm sure you've had this conversation with with your
Speaker 9: your newly engaged daughter there.
Speaker 3: I know you have because you've told me.
Speaker 9: But then they yeah, they're at that point of life
Speaker 9: where they're just getting started. Anybody else in that situation
Speaker 9: staves safe stay from moment one. You know, if you
Speaker 9: even if you save more percentage wise in your twenties
Speaker 9: and you have to back off when the kids show
Speaker 9: up and things get more expensive, then that is absolutely
Speaker 9: a far better option than waiting until you're forty to
Speaker 9: get started. For these coming generations, I would say, including
Speaker 9: my own, I'm gen x are, our retirement success is
Speaker 9: going to rely a lot, a lot more on our
Speaker 9: own savings than that of our predecessors.
Speaker 1: Well, continue one more with Brian James. How much is
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving going to cost us this year? Should a little
Speaker 1: focus on just one meal? Money? Monday's Brian James. It's
Speaker 1: eight twenty five right now, fifty five KCD talk station.
Speaker 1: Here's an important thing, an important way to save money.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. You can take all the money,
Speaker 1: you say, by getting your imaging done at affordable imaging
Speaker 1: services and putting it in your retirement account. I mean, seriously,
Speaker 1: if you're going to spend three thousand dollars to get
Speaker 1: an MRI or a CT scan at a hospital and
Speaker 1: you end up saving that amount, ask my friend Jeff
Speaker 1: thirty one hundred dollars savings by getting an MRI or
Speaker 1: a CT scan rather at affordable imaging services. That was
Speaker 1: real money was gonna come out of his real pocket.
Speaker 1: That's like found money. So take it and put it
Speaker 1: away or do whatever you want with it. The point
Speaker 1: being you can save that kind of money at affordable
Speaker 1: imaging services. The overhead is really really low, not going
Speaker 1: to exaggerate it's low overhead. But they have the same
Speaker 1: kind of equipment the hospitals have. They've been doing this
Speaker 1: for forty years. So get your MRI, CT scan, Echo cardiogram,
Speaker 1: ultra sound, lung screening, and cardiac scoring, every one of
Speaker 1: which will include the board certified radiologists report along with
Speaker 1: the low price, no no extra. So MRI at a
Speaker 1: hospital thirty five hundred dollars maybe four grand, you get
Speaker 1: it with a contrast that affordable it's six forty five,
Speaker 1: no contrast needed, get it for four hundred and ninety
Speaker 1: five bucks. CT without a contrast four fifty CT with
Speaker 1: a contrast six hundred at a hospital five grand, yeah
Speaker 1: or more. Echo cardigram is only four hundred and ninety
Speaker 1: five bucks, And again all of them come with the
Speaker 1: board certified radiologists. I had this from one of the
Speaker 1: CT scans I got done most recently. You know, my
Speaker 1: cancer doctor said, here's the here's the prescription. Go to
Speaker 1: the imaging department at the local hospital. I said, I'm
Speaker 1: going to Affordable Imaging Services. I do spots for them.
Speaker 1: It's like fine. You know what she said about the
Speaker 1: image nothing, It was great, it worked fine, she was
Speaker 1: able to diagnose me or look at the report and everything, well,
Speaker 1: didn't go the way I want it, but massive savings.
Speaker 1: You got a choice when it comes to your medical care.
Speaker 1: Go elsewhere. Go to Affordable Imaging Services five one three, seven,
Speaker 1: five three eight thousand, five one three seven, five three
Speaker 1: eight thousand. Learn more online all the pricing structure and

Speaker 1: Hey thirty one fifty five kr CD talk station wrapping
Speaker 1: up another Money Money with Brian James, all or Financials,
Speaker 1: Brian James and maybe Brian I'm confused. Got this article
Speaker 1: from lendingtree dot com by the twenty twenty four Cost
Speaker 1: of Thanksgiving report, and everything's gone up. I understand that,
Speaker 1: but I guess I don't know. People's perceptions of Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: must differ from one place to another, because I'm looking
Speaker 1: at some really outrageous enses for Thanksgiving, and we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that, but I think over I mean, Thanksgiving was
Speaker 1: always my favorite holiday. You get gifts at Christmas, but
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving in our family, it was always the big holiday
Speaker 1: where all the relatives got together. You know, we have
Speaker 1: relatives in Lexington and far and wide, and they'd all
Speaker 1: descend upon someone's house and it would rotate, but everyone
Speaker 1: sort of brought something, so not one person was left
Speaker 1: with the entire expense of having to cook, prepare and
Speaker 1: spread out the bar and the turkey and the dressing
Speaker 1: and everything else that goes along with it. It's like Joan,
Speaker 1: you're responsible for the turkey and dressing, and Jerry irresponsible
Speaker 1: for this, and Brian you're responsible for this. It was
Speaker 1: never a massive expenditure, even if you had twenty five
Speaker 1: thirty people to serve, because it was broken up among
Speaker 1: various family members. We all love the pot luck nature
Speaker 1: of it, and you know, the camaraderie, the friendship, the
Speaker 1: celebratory environment. It's just there was nothing. There was no
Speaker 1: downside about it. Or am I just waxing poetic about
Speaker 1: time's gone past?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 9: I think some of that is because we have a
Speaker 9: tendency nowadays to look at data because it's available to us.
Speaker 9: So when you add up the costs of all those
Speaker 9: individual dishes, maybe somebody's only outlaying thirty forty fifty bucks.
Speaker 9: Even that's kind of high for one person, one dish.
Speaker 9: But when you add it all up this year, what
Speaker 9: we're looking at is four hundred and thirty one dollars
Speaker 9: for food, drinks, de core, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 9: And that's a nineteen percent increase over last year.
Speaker 3: But I think you're right.
Speaker 9: You break that down across ten people, that's thirty four
Speaker 9: bucks a person, really not that big of a deal
Speaker 9: and actually still cheaper than eating out for the night. Yeah,
Speaker 9: but thirty six percent say that this is actually going
Speaker 9: to be a financial stream and fourteen percent regret their
Speaker 9: decision to volunteer to host. So I think these people
Speaker 9: maybe don't have the same kind of family situation that
Speaker 9: you and I do, where the load kind of gets
Speaker 9: shared a little bit.
Speaker 1: Well, I understand the decision maybe regretting the host because
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, everyone leaves and then
Speaker 1: you got domestic clean up. But that's different. You know,
Speaker 1: Let's see, you're one day a year. It's not that
Speaker 1: much of a hassle. But I don't know what what's
Speaker 1: really gone up the most across the board here. Is
Speaker 1: it the turkey or something else, or is just literally everything.
Speaker 1: The one thing I circled that I figured is probably
Speaker 1: the largest financial strain on any family hosting Thanksgiving is
Speaker 1: the open bar, because you know, liquor is expensive, and
Speaker 1: a lot of people have some really high tastes in liquor,
Speaker 1: and expectations may be high about what you serve and
Speaker 1: is available at the bar. Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and that's definitely a part of it. You know,
Speaker 9: we've been talking about the cost of moving goods across
Speaker 9: the country, so that's certainly you know, there's a cost
Speaker 9: to get those turkeys from the farms to the to
Speaker 9: the grocery shelves there. But let's not forget our old
Speaker 9: favorite thing to blame when we talk about inflation, which
Speaker 9: is eggs. Eggs are up sixty two percent over the
Speaker 9: last twelve months. That comes from bird flu and demand
Speaker 9: and things like that. Pumpkin pie filling is up about
Speaker 9: eighty percent. You know, these are the kind of things
Speaker 9: that we I know, I didn't. I didn't see that either,
Speaker 9: but that's something we're certainly not going to have. This
Speaker 9: is the day we make the excuse that it's okay
Speaker 9: to eat that stuff. So eighty percent more, yes, sign
Speaker 9: me up anyway. But yeah, there's the little All these
Speaker 9: little things, of course add up, and it has everything
Speaker 9: to do with just the overall cost of goods sold
Speaker 9: and cost of moving and manufacturing things, and of course
Speaker 9: the ever present need to expand profit margin when we
Speaker 9: can get away with it simply because people think things
Speaker 9: are more expensive. So let's sneak some profit margin in
Speaker 9: there too.
Speaker 3: Why not?
Speaker 1: Well, I guess one of the nice things you can
Speaker 1: do is volunteer ahead of time. Regardless of the situation
Speaker 1: that goes on any giving year in your Thanksgiving life,
Speaker 1: is at least volunteer to bring something when you come
Speaker 1: to offset whoever's having the celebration at their house, whether
Speaker 1: they ask for it or not. Bring the good bottle
Speaker 1: of bourbon, or bring the wine, or you know, bring
Speaker 1: a side dish, or at least offer ahead of time,
Speaker 1: because I think every little bit counts, and you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's also nice to have. Honestly, I get a
Speaker 1: great reward when someone enjoys something that I've made, or
Speaker 1: when I see the looks on people's faces with what
Speaker 1: my wife has baked. She's a wonderful baker, cookies and
Speaker 1: pies and everything. I mean, it gives you a tremendous
Speaker 1: amount of personal fulfillment, which honestly, I don't think you
Speaker 1: can put a price tag on.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I can remember recently my family we did a Thanksgiving
Speaker 9: dinner around everybody was busy and things were crazy, and
Speaker 9: we simply went and got a gigantic bucket of fishes chili,
Speaker 9: and that was the focal point of the kind of
Speaker 9: apropos this season. May not get able to do a
Speaker 9: b a chance to do that here in the future,
Speaker 9: but that just made it easier and cheaper for everybody
Speaker 9: here in the short run.
Speaker 1: That reminds me of the Christmas story and go to
Speaker 1: the Chinese restaurant after the Buffins dogs ate the turkey. Right,
Speaker 1: it's the family component. It's being together that is the
Speaker 1: important thing, perhaps more so than exactly what you're eating
Speaker 1: or trying to bring off some Norman Rockwellian image of
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving that never quite does manifest itself. Anyhow, I still
Speaker 1: love Thanksgiving, even though there are going to be a
Speaker 1: lot smaller this year than any years compass. I don't
Speaker 1: mind a couple extra bucks, and I love the idea
Speaker 1: getting together and that outweighs money across the board. Brian James,
Speaker 1: always a pleasure having you on the program. We'll look
Speaker 1: forward to next Monday, another edition of Monday Monday.
