Five one, three, seven, four, 15 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:05.920 nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three, 16 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.319 Taco Town five fifty on AT and T Funds. Got 17 00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:09.959 subject matter you want to talk about, feel free to 18 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.280 give me a ring and I meantime, what's going on 19 00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:14.799 this morning on the fifty five Cascene Morning Show, of course, 20 00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:17.319 it's Monday seven to twenty. Every Monday, we hear from 21 00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.519 former Vice Mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smith. 22 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.359 Aman and what we call the smither vent plenty of 23 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.079 shootings to talk about. Not sure if that's the direction 24 00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:28.680 we're going to go. Stuck on crime of late, we 25 00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:31.159 have been with Christopher Smithman, but it's a big problem 26 00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:34.640 in downtown Cincinnati, as you full well know, at least 27 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:36.879 I'm sure you know. Money money with Brian James every 28 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:38.519 Monday at eight oh five get the low down from 29 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:40.840 all Worth Financials. Brian James going to do that today 30 00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.560 again eight oh five for that. And finally tex Fisher 31 00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.840 State Representative here in the state of Ohio, one of 32 00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:50.840 a couple of Republicans sort of going after the Republican 33 00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:55.640 efforts in Columbus to pair back issue too, which is 34 00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:58.239 the yes vote. Fifty seven percent of a Highlands voted 35 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:01.640 yes to legalize recreation marijuana in the state of Ohio. 36 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:04.000 But since then a lot of folks in the Republican 37 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:07.239 Party have been trying to change the law, which some 38 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.000 are in favor of in others are not. And more 39 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:11.960 and more information comes out each and every day about 40 00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.199 the dangers of marijuana. And maybe it was a ready 41 00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:16.879 fire aim thing in so far as embracing medical marijuana. 42 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:19.599 Of course, the push for legalized marijuana. You draw your 43 00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.759 own conclusions, and nobody's making anyone smoke it. I mean, 44 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.319 you aren't being drug into a dispensary and forced to 45 00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:30.280 buy something and then being forced home to indulge in it. 46 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.800 And I appreciate the practical ramifications of its sort of 47 00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.560 being normalized. You normalize something, and more and more people 48 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.080 are going to try it. So a statistic out of California, 49 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.800 they are they twenty percent of adults in California smoke weed, 50 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.759 up substantially from the pre legalization days. But it's been 51 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.360 legal in California for a long time, and many sociologists 52 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.080 and medical experts and others are now stepping up saying, hey, 53 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:57.039 this is a real big problem psychosis and you know 54 00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:02.560 other vitro kind of things. It impacts your babies development, 55 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:07.280 and listen, it's worth looking into before we start firing 56 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.639 it out. Take a look at it. But in so 57 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.199 far as legalut in the state of Ohio, at least, 58 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.879 tex Fisher is trying to protect it and not put 59 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.680 any further limitations on the use in Ohio, thumbing our 60 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:21.719 nose in the face of the voters. I think that 61 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.000 should be a non starter for a lot of people 62 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:27.719 quoted as saying, I have Capital Journal reporting on that. Also, 63 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:32.840 along with State Representative Jamie Calendar, a Republican from Concord, 64 00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:38.759 they've joined forces to prevent the Senates proposed changes to 65 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:44.120 issue too. They've been trying to compromise on multiple different 66 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:47.800 bills that are flowing around up there. Senates proposal decreases 67 00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:52.560 THC content, reduces the home growing from twelve plants to 68 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:57.919 six plants. There's still a ton of weed, imposes more 69 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:01.159 criminal penalties, and takes away tax money from local municipalities 70 00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.759 that have dispensaries. The House latest version had none of 71 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:08.879 those provisions. So anyway, texts he'll join the programm at 72 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:13.080 forty to give us his perspective on marijuana in the 73 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.919 state of Ohio. So there as your rundown this morning. 74 00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:23.199 See what else is going on? Moving away here? I'm puzzled. 75 00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.040 I know there's this big brew haha. FBI Director Cash 76 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:35.639 Mattel and Pambondi, among others, and deputy FBI Deputy Director 77 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:39.920 Dan Bongino all sort of Bongino clashing with Attorney General 78 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.839 Pambondi over her conclusion that there's nothing to see there 79 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:46.199 ins far as the Epstein files are concerned. Now we 80 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.480 all know time after time after time, many of these 81 00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:50.480 people who are now saying the Epstein files don't show 82 00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:55.000 anything except downloads from Epstein of a pornographic material that 83 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:59.360 constitutes well, child porn. Therefore, we're not going to see it, 84 00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.360 nor should any nobody ever want to see it. But 85 00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:04.439 is there anything else in there? After years of being 86 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:06.720 told that there's something there, there is there there and 87 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.120 all the conspiracy theories floating around that he actually killed 88 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.319 himself or didn't kill himself as the case. Maybe we 89 00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.040 got the videotape release. Now it's got that little glitch 90 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.720 at midnight, and that's been explained away by the FBI. 91 00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:20.160 But some people don't buy that. They say it's been 92 00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:22.319 altered or edited. Every time I read a story about that, 93 00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.879 I think about, well, these are modern times. No one 94 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.800 is going to believe anything they see, especially something that 95 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:32.439 has been so prominent in terms of well an issue. 96 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.920 People talk about what did this guy do? Who did 97 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:37.600 he have the goods on? Why did so many noted 98 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:41.040 notables and wealthy millionaires and political elite hang out with 99 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.000 this guy? How did he end up getting elevated to 100 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.439 this lofty position that he came to apparently started out 101 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:50.079 as a math teacher with no college degree. So and 102 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.720 there's conspiracy now if the CIA had something to do 103 00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:55.759 with it, or maybe the Israeli Mosad, they were using 104 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:59.319 him to get information all these powerful people, I guess 105 00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.040 for blackmail purposes. I mean, that's just it goes on 106 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:07.639 and on and on, and while the Trump administration is 107 00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:09.759 trying to back away from this, and Donald Trump's getting 108 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.720 angry or and angry in his outlawed statements about people 109 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:17.800 continuing continuing to ask questions about the nature of this 110 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:24.839 non disclosure and whether or not something is being hidden. Now, 111 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.639 retired Lieutenant General Mike flem Trump's National security advisor or 112 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.839 in the first administration, had this to say, at real, 113 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:36.279 Donald Trump, please understand the Epstein affair is not going away. 114 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:40.240 The administration doesn't address this massive number of unanswered questions 115 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.759 about Epstein, especially the abuse of children by elites. It 116 00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:47.480 is very clear that abuse occurred, then moving forward on 117 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.240 so many other monumental challenges our nation is facing becomes 118 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:53.879 much harder. I think that's a fairly accurate assessment of things. 119 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.639 And if abuse actually has occurred, and he's very prominent 120 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.920 in his conclusion quote, it is very clear that abuse 121 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:07.839 occurred that should be prosecuted. Of course, I have embraced 122 00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:11.319 the idea of going after pedophiles. But anyway, over the weekend, 123 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:15.519 what Trump took to social media truth social media, of course, 124 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:22.000 endorsing Bondi, and of course the position that there's nothing 125 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:24.279 to see there. He killed himself and there is no 126 00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.879 clientless of fundamentally boiled down what her announcement said from 127 00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.399 a week or so ago, he writes, what's going on 128 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:32.680 with my boys? In some cases gals, they're all going 129 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:36.079 after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who's doing a fantastic job. 130 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:40.160 We're on one team, MAGA, and I don't like what's happening. 131 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.480 He also previously for Epstein, the guy who never dies. 132 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.360 For years, it's Epstein, over and over again. He lamented 133 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:52.199 that the other day, Trump question why people were giving 134 00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.839 publicity to file And here's where I'm really puzzled, folks, 135 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:57.759 and kind of looking for your sort of thoughts on this. 136 00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:01.399 Trump questioned why people or in his words quote giving 137 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:07.079 publicity to files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, call me 138 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.000 Brennan and the losers and criminals of the Biden administration, 139 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:17.160 further stating, and I'll quote, they created the Epstein files, 140 00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:19.720 just like they created the fake Hillary Clinton Christopher Steele 141 00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:22.920 dossier that they used on me. And now my so 142 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.920 called friends are playing right into their hands. Why didn't 143 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:30.839 these radical left lunatics release the Epstein files? If there 144 00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.120 was anything in there that could have hurt the mag 145 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:36.679 of movement, why didn't they use it? Well, okay, that's 146 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:41.879 a legitimate question. Maybe they couldn't use it because they're 147 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:45.679 implicated in the Epstein files. But the idea that he 148 00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:49.799 is now saying that the Democrats created them, I mean, 149 00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:53.200 Epstein's been a law enforcement radar since he was convicted 150 00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:57.559 of pedophilia back in two thousand and eight, procuring underage 151 00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:01.559 girls for prostitution. And of course we all know about 152 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:04.399 Pedophile Island, we all know about what happened since then. 153 00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:06.799 We all know about just Laine Maxwell and what she 154 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:12.000 was doing. She's been convicted. So I don't know that 155 00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:15.320 this is some you know, whole cloth Democrat creation like 156 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:19.759 the Steele dossier. But if they created the Epstein files 157 00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:25.200 in an effort to somehow harm Donald Trump, why didn't 158 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.120 they release the Epstein files? It seems like he's trying 159 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:29.720 to talk out of both sides of his mouth on 160 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:33.039 this one. They created them for the purpose of dividing us, 161 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.720 and here we are, you know, taking the bait and 162 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.279 stirring the pod of conspiracy theories you're making all you, 163 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:42.679 my conservative maggot loving friends, are all making arguments that 164 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:45.080 this stuff should be further released. And there's more there 165 00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.879 than meets the eye. You're playing right into the Democrats hands. 166 00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:55.399 I don't understand how you reconcile that, because I think 167 00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:57.480 it's pretty easy to conclude if there was something that 168 00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:00.279 was really devastating to Donald Trump in the eb Stein 169 00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:04.720 files and whatever is among those documents. Biden was just 170 00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.120 recently president, he was in charge of him, He had 171 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:11.399 the files on his decks metaphorically, was his Justice Department 172 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.639 in his FBI that had the information now in the 173 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:17.279 hands of Pam Bondy. Don't you think it would have 174 00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:26.200 been leaked? Yeah, And you know the conclusion by Bondi 175 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:30.799 is it was just downloaded porn. There is no client list, 176 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:34.240 and the video evidence confirms that Epstein killed himself because 177 00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:37.759 nobody else was around. There's no mention in there of 178 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.279 these being whole cloth creations by the Democrats or anybody else. 179 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:46.240 Bondi did not conclude that the files were made up. 180 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:49.399 There was nothing in her announcement that said anything of 181 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:53.039 the of the sort. But that's what Trump is now saying, 182 00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:58.320 and I just don't understand it. Let Pam Bondi do 183 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.200 her job. He wrote, She's great. Twenty twenty election was 184 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.440 rigged and stolen, and they tried to do the same 185 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.519 thing in twenty twenty four. That's what she's looking into, 186 00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:11.279 is ag and much more. And of course a suggestion 187 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:14.519 that you know, don't focus on Epstein document's focus on 188 00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:17.600 the other more important things like the stolen twenty twenty election. 189 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:21.519 So I think that Bondi can handle more than one 190 00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.320 issue on her plate. I think she's got enough minions 191 00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:26.919 working for her that she can handle more than one matter. 192 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:28.879 We all know that, that, of course is the case. 193 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:31.159 They got a lot on their plate in that role. 194 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.480 But anyway, this is all on the heels of so 195 00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:40.000 many statements by the same folks that there was something there. 196 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:46.080 Cash Bettel back in twenty twenty three talking to Benny Johnson, 197 00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:49.960 of course, before he came FBI director in a Trump 198 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:55.120 second administration, the Republicans at the time could easily obtain 199 00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.720 the alleged client list with a subpoena, adding in another 200 00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:02.080 interview that same year that Trump should quote roll out 201 00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.600 the black book close quote containing Epstein's alleged client list 202 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:10.000 on day one. Then during his Senate confirmation hearing, he 203 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:13.200 said he would assist lawmakers in investigating Epstein's alleged web 204 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:17.200 of the world's elite involved in sex crimes. Quote. Child 205 00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:20.200 sex trafficking has no place in the United States, he said, 206 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.600 and I will do everything, if confirmed as FBI director, 207 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:27.279 to make sure the American public knows the full weight 208 00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:30.120 of what happened in the past and how we're going 209 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:40.639 to counterman missing children and exploited children going forward. Then, 210 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:43.919 over the weekend, in what appears to be a radical 211 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:48.200 change of heart, posted on x that the conspiracy theories 212 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:53.679 weren't and have never been true. To note that was 213 00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:56.320 not clear whether he was referred to Epstein the records 214 00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:59.279 as Donald Trump suggested that these were not true, that 215 00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:01.519 these are all whole cloth made up by the Democrats, 216 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.720 or to the reports that he intended to step down 217 00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:07.879 if Bongino did. Because there is that rumors swirling around 218 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:09.559 there as well, So we're left to kind of guess 219 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:12.759 on what Pattel meant over the weekend. But it seems 220 00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:14.879 to me he's stepping in the same direction as Donald Trump. 221 00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:17.480 There's nothing to see here, Ignore it, go away. You're 222 00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:20.639 playing into their hands, and quite honestly, I don't see 223 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:23.679 how that is actually the case. Five eighteen Right now, 224 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:26.120 fifty five KRCIT Talk Station, feel free to chime in 225 00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.279 five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty, five hundred, eight 226 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:30.600 hundred and eighty two to three Talk found five fifty 227 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:32.279 on AT and T Funds. I'll be right back after 228 00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:41.879 these brief words. Five twenty one if the five kr 229 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:47.320 CD talk station, Happy Monday, Smither Event, Monday Money Monday 230 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:52.120 with Brian James and let us see here. Libel and 231 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:55.639 slander per se? Can you say something about someone, and 232 00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:57.799 especially when it comes to public figure's got a pretty 233 00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.440 wide leeway out of the New York Time standard. Public 234 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:07.200 figures have access to rebut some pretty damaging statements, But 235 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:10.120 it isn't a complete blanket of immunity to those who 236 00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:14.159 make the bad statement. Slander per se involves a false 237 00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:18.039 statement pertaining to multiple categories. It's four specific categories, but 238 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:21.120 statements that allege a crime has been committed. You can't 239 00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:24.159 go running around telling people that someone else has committed 240 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:32.039 a crime unless it's true. But it's considered bible or slander, 241 00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:34.759 depending on whether it's written or stated per se. You 242 00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:38.440 are presumed to have damaged that person's integrity and reputation 243 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:43.200 unless you, as the person making the statement, can prove 244 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.759 that you are right that the statement you made was true. 245 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:49.159 So pivoting over to a real life an illustration of 246 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:54.679 this New York Representative Alexandrio Casio Cortez AOC being accused 247 00:14:54.720 --> 00:15:01.200 of defaming Trump. She called him a rapist. Wow quote 248 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:04.159 this is a quote quote Wow. Who would have thought 249 00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:08.120 that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of 250 00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:14.679 the Epstein files? This in an ex post on Friday. Well, 251 00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:21.039 the problem for AOC is Trump was not found guilty 252 00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:26.679 of rape. Was a civil trial filed against Trump by 253 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:29.759 writer E. Gen Carroll. The jury found Trump libel for 254 00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:33.200 sexual assault, but not rape. Rape of course the crime, 255 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:38.080 and Trump has never been found guilty of rape. So 256 00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:42.279 many are calling for the President to sue AOC and 257 00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:45.360 in some of the wards at least one. Phil Holloway 258 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:49.600 legal analysts into bankruptcy. The president should sue AOC into bankruptcy. 259 00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:52.240 I realize she's trying to raise her profile, but this 260 00:15:52.320 --> 00:16:00.559 is way way too far, h Bill Mitchell, your always host. 261 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:05.279 We will have grounds for a huge defamation suit here, 262 00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:08.639 you idiot, because Donald Trump has never been indicted for rape, 263 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:13.879 much less convicted one other account post. You realize your 264 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:16.720 ex account doesn't carry the same protections to the fame 265 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:19.559 people that you enjoyed during a congressional proceeding and current 266 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:25.799 congressional proceedings, So she may have a problem on her hands. 267 00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:27.240 From the standpoint, I know there's been a lot of 268 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:31.679 litigation over news outlets, misreporting and outright line. Donald Trump's 269 00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:34.120 been kind of successful of late in his actions against 270 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:37.679 those folks who would malign the president otherwise twist data 271 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:41.000 and information to benefit the left. We know what the 272 00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:47.720 median narrative is, but when you're in per se categories, 273 00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:49.879 there's not a whole lot left you need to prove. 274 00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:53.159 Was Donald Trump ever indicted or convicted of rape? That 275 00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:55.799 is an absolute no. She does not have the so 276 00:16:55.960 --> 00:17:00.399 called truth to raise in defense of a suit. This 277 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:02.679 looks like a pretty much of a laydown, So keep 278 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:04.759 your popcorn out on that one. For those who are 279 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:07.400 not fans of AOC, and count me among those folks. 280 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:12.200 I think this could be rather interesting there, he goes, 281 00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:16.440 don no doubt about it. Five one three seven fifty 282 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.720 five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three doc on five 283 00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:21.759 fifty on eighteen T phone another phone number you need 284 00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:24.160 to call for a free quote. You can either go 285 00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:25.960 to the website or call it the phone number. It's 286 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:35.200 Rhino Shield five twenty nine.

But I see 289 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:44.200 Tom is on the line. Tom good to hear from 290 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:46.119 me this morning. Welcome to the work week. 291 00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:51.000 Hey, good morning. Maybe AOC is not sure how to 292 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:53.559 handle it. Maybe Mike the line could put together a 293 00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:55.079 work trip to figure it out for. 294 00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:58.039 Oh yeah, like he used for the property taxes. Geez. 295 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:02.400 I got to over the weekend. I got to jump 296 00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:05.839 on your iHeart podcasting and listen to some of your 297 00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:08.440 some of your stuff from last week. I only get 298 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:11.799 I only get like a half hour, like right now 299 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:14.319 on my way to work, and then if I want 300 00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:16.480 to listen anymore, I got to get on that podcast. 301 00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:18.480 So that works out great. And I listened to you 302 00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:22.599 and your your guests you had on the Friday, uh 303 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:25.519 talking about that he's a big the wine fan, isn't he? 304 00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:27.480 A Yeah? 305 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:31.599 I love it. I'm sure this is old news out 306 00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:34.200 but I still love the still makes me chuckle when 307 00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:36.480 he calls it the back in COVID it was the 308 00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:39.640 two o'clock wine with the wine that was pretty funny. Yeah, 309 00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:43.079 good stuff, but yeah, I mean, I thank god that 310 00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:45.880 the wines winding down. He's gonna be gone here pretty 311 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:49.400 soon because that that dude is it. I mean, there's 312 00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:52.559 there shouldn't be a R anywhere near his name. And 313 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:55.240 then and and that's that same something because there's a 314 00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:58.279 lot of Republicans that are you know, we could call rhinos, 315 00:18:58.319 --> 00:18:59.480 but that guy takes the cake. 316 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:00.000 I don't. 317 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:03.480 I don't understand at all. How how uh? I mean, 318 00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:05.680 I guess we didn't have a better The only other 319 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:07.599 choice was a Democrat, so we kind of had to 320 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.200 go with him. But thankfully we're moving past this stage 321 00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:14.960 of of things in Ohio and we and you know, 322 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.240 we're looking forward to the zek and then hopefully that 323 00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:21.359 works out as well as it seems to. But you know, 324 00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:24.200 this whole property tax thing and and the other thing 325 00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:26.680 with the library thing, I seemed like a no brain 326 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.440 or slammed. Du't didn't it? Why why would you veto that? 327 00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:35.000 I hope these senators and representatives get back in there 328 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:38.200 after the summer breaking and fix all this garbage, because 329 00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:41.519 that dude is just He's made about a bunch of 330 00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:45.000 a mess as a Democrat would make. So but here regardless, 331 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:47.599 don't vote Democrat. Have a great Dame Brian. 332 00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:50.640 Thanks to appreciate it. Yeah, sometimes I want to. It's 333 00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:52.880 almost as if you want to carl into Mike Dwine's 334 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.279 head just just sort of figure out what the hell 335 00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:59.400 he's thinking. Yeah, I mean he's own attorney general told 336 00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:01.839 to VT the six hundred million dollars going to the 337 00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:04.200 Cleveland Browns. No, he didn't do that, but he vetoed 338 00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:07.559 did the three position of the three provisions that might 339 00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:11.680 have provided you and I some measure of property tax relief, 340 00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:14.480 which had been understudy for more than a year. They 341 00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:17.759 had studied this behind the scenes. Our elected officials looked 342 00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:19.720 into this, ge, how can we help out with the 343 00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:23.599 property tax situation? After giving it much thought and going 344 00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:26.160 over the pluses and minuses. That's how those three provisions 345 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:28.960 ended up in the budget and only to have to 346 00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:32.279 Wine nix them. So they're gonna t those three up 347 00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:35.480 and try to vote to override his veto. Meanwhile, as 348 00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:39.720 Tom alluded to Governor to Wine now claims to be 349 00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:42.200 trying to take a stab at fixing the property problems 350 00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:45.359 in the state following the veto of those efforts to 351 00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:50.480 reform property taxes. He said, these vetos that does not 352 00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:52.960 lessen our obligation and does not lessen our obligation to 353 00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:57.240 deal with this problem. Governor now appointing two former legislators, 354 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:02.799 Bill Sitz and Pat Tiberry to lead a new quote 355 00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:08.519 property tax Reform Work Group close quote described as a 356 00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:12.240 group to will deliver concrete proposals for meaningful tax relieved 357 00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:14.200 by the end of September, like the three that were 358 00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:16.559 in the budget bill. You know, something like that that 359 00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:20.400 had already been vetted. Apparently, the second group set up 360 00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:23.079 by state leaders to tackle this issue, Legislative Committee, already 361 00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:26.039 produced an eight hundred and sixty five page report last 362 00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:29.720 year with twenty one recommendations. Sadly, none of it made 363 00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:36.160 it through the legislature.

Let us see here, helpless onlooker, 518 00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:12.319 powerless to stop a tourist from recklessly taking their toddler 519 00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:17.519 within feet of a bison at Yellowstone National Park, as 520 00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:21.240 bison can be very dangerous apparently. The independent report of 521 00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:25.279 the experience of Jennifer Gunderson, retired professional photographer who witnessed 522 00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:28.519 this event and posted a video of it on her Instagram, 523 00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:31.799 of course, shows a woman and a toddler wandering within 524 00:31:31.920 --> 00:31:35.680 close range of the massive grazing bison. The adult isn't 525 00:31:35.720 --> 00:31:39.160 holding the toddler's hand as it gets dangerously close to 526 00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:42.400 the animal. Another adult in child combo comes closer as 527 00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:46.440 well as the video continues. According to Gunderson, to film 528 00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:49.640 that everyone including us, told them to get back before 529 00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:54.759 we started recording, described as correct advice. Yellowstone National Park 530 00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:58.200 rules suggests visitors day at least twenty five yards away 531 00:31:58.240 --> 00:32:02.240 from the animals, including bison oversolved. Tourists apparently paid the 532 00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:06.440 price for breaking the guidelines, even if the bisons quite 533 00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:11.440 often appear to be docile. We have watched and followed 534 00:32:11.440 --> 00:32:14.640 the tourists of Yellowstone Instagram account and shaking our heads 535 00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:17.759 at some of the things posted. Gunderson said, never in 536 00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:25.319 our wildest dreams will we witness it in person. Animals 537 00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:27.960 that are provoked by visitors and attacked in response could 538 00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:31.160 be euthanized, even if the interaction wasn't of their choosing. 539 00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:35.119 So you're putting the animals life in jeopardy as well 540 00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:42.559 as your own toddler's life. Idiots doing idiot things because 541 00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:46.920 they're idiots. That Boill sums up that one up quite nicely. 542 00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:49.720 Let me talk about the six o'clock hour. Feel free 543 00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:52.000 to give me a call. I guess we're sending Patriot 544 00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:56.000 missiles to Ukraine. Will that do anything to stop six 545 00:32:56.119 --> 00:33:01.319 hundred and twenty swarmed drones coming at one time? How 546 00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:05.599 much of those Patriot missile systems cost per missile? Let's 547 00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:08.240 contemplate that one anyway. A hold on more coming up. 548 00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:10.160 I appreciate your calls, feel free to give me a 549 00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:15.079 ring beyond that, I will be back after the news.

Sad, sad state of affairs going on in 567 00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:00.880 the City of Cincinnati. Sure if that's where he wants 568 00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:03.240 to go, but it's his prerogative. It is his segment 569 00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:05.960 Money Monday with Brian James thanks to our financial loan 570 00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:07.680 and amount. Every monda at eight oh five don't know 571 00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:11.000 about the topics today. Didn't get those again with Joe 572 00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:15.159 Strekker on vacation, little wrinkle, but I'm sure we'll manage 573 00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:17.159 with Brian James as we always do it. Eight oh five. 574 00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:19.320 Then we're going to be hearing from Tech's Fisher. He's 575 00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:22.400 a state representative here in Ohio trying to stop the 576 00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:27.000 Republicans from well cutting into the legality of marijuana in 577 00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:29.000 the state of Ohio to boil the subject matter down. 578 00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:32.320 Of course, we all voted to legalize it fairly significant, overwhelming. 579 00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:34.800 He's like fifty seven percent of folks who voted said yes, 580 00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:38.840 legalize it, and then began the discussion about how we 581 00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:43.519 could pair how the legality of marijuana could be paired back. 582 00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:48.320 Of course, because it didn't amend the constitution, the elected 583 00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:51.039 officials in Ohio are allowed to amend it and pass 584 00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:54.760 legislation pairing back your availability, like, for example, the number 585 00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:58.239 of plants that could be grown. Senate proposal wants to 586 00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:02.280 pair that back from twelve the sixth per household just 587 00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:05.599 one of the many changes that tex Fissure is fighting. 588 00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:09.840 So he said, listen, Ohioans. One of this Ohioans deserve it, 589 00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:12.480 and we should not be messing around with it again. 590 00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:15.400 That's what's boiled down. Tex Fisial joined the program and 591 00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:18.440 put some flesh on the bones of my boiled down 592 00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:24.760 analysis there at eight forty. So let's see the background. Okay, 593 00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:27.599 you heard last week we're going to start sending Patriot 594 00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:32.920 missile systems to Ukraine. Over the weekend, Russia fired more 595 00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:37.000 than six hundred and twenty drones and long range missiles 596 00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:44.000 into Ukraine, killing apparently at least six people. Ukrainian President 597 00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:47.800 Zelenski the Russians continue to use their specific tactics of 598 00:35:47.880 --> 00:35:51.159 terror against our country, striking concentrated blows in one city 599 00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:55.800 or another, at one region or another. Twenty six cruise missiles, 600 00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:59.679 five hundred and ninety seven attack drones were launched, of 601 00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:03.760 which more than half or the shah heads type of 602 00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:08.880 a missile or drones the case, maybe those are the 603 00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:13.079 Iranian made drones that Russia is buying thousands and thousands 604 00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:17.039 of Ukrainian Air Force said that it had downed three 605 00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:20.280 hundred and nineteen of the drones and twenty five of 606 00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:24.039 the missiles. One missile and about twenty drones had hit 607 00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:28.400 five locations, so they did sneak through. And of course 608 00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:31.440 Zelunsky's screaming about getting more air defense systems. He wants 609 00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:33.840 more from the United States. He wants them from anybody 610 00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:36.480 that's going to give it to him, NATO, European Union countries. 611 00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:41.360 Donald Trump said he's going to do that. He's going 612 00:36:41.400 --> 00:36:43.360 to be a major announcement today. But yesterday he said 613 00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:46.320 the United States will be sending Patriot air defense systems 614 00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:50.960 to Ukraine. That although it wasn't described how, but he 615 00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:58.039 claimed the European Union was going to be paying for them. 616 00:36:55.840 --> 00:36:56.079 So. 617 00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:00.440 Ignoring who's paying for them, do you think it will work? 618 00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:04.559 And that's why I started out with the Predigate six 619 00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:08.840 hundred and twenty drones over one operation. It was Saturday night. 620 00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:11.000 I think it was announced over the weekend that this 621 00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:16.519 had happened. Now and there have been multiple articles. Most 622 00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:19.079 notably over the weekend there was a Wall Street Journal headline, 623 00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:21.960 never ending supply of drones has frozen the front lines 624 00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:24.960 in Ukraine. They talk about these various types of drones 625 00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:29.800 and how inexpensive They are two thousand dollars. Previously described 626 00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:32.039 over in Ukraine as a wedding drone. I guess people 627 00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:34.719 would buy them in order to get aerial shots of weddings. 628 00:37:34.719 --> 00:37:37.239 They have been repurposed to scan for enemy units and 629 00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:41.679 of course modified to allow the dropping of bombs like grenades. 630 00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:46.920 So for two thousand dollars you can well launch a drone. 631 00:37:48.920 --> 00:37:52.719 They say they're inexpensively inexpensively manufactured. Quite often they're made 632 00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:57.239 out of just wood. Then they have suicide drones as well, 633 00:37:57.320 --> 00:38:01.760 the first person view fpv E drones. You know, Ukraine's 634 00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:07.440 got four point five million of those produced. Now they 635 00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:09.559 don't have statistics for the Russian side of the equation, 636 00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:12.320 but you know, given that they regularly launch hundreds and 637 00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:16.440 hundreds of drones simultaneously and then also fire the missiles 638 00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:20.400 at the same time, obviously designed to distract, what do 639 00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:22.039 you got on the ground that can shoot them down. 640 00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:25.679 Russia has developed a special kind of drone that is 641 00:38:25.679 --> 00:38:27.800 a sort of a fly by wire. It's got a 642 00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:34.599 tether attached to it that allows them to circumvent the 643 00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:37.639 jamming devices that the Ukraines are using to sort of 644 00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:40.039 jam the communications with the drones. So if you've got 645 00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:44.039 direct connection to the drone itself with a fiber optic wire, 646 00:38:44.199 --> 00:38:46.800 you aren't worried about your communication being jammed. So the 647 00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:52.039 Russians are using those as well, but sending patriots over hm. 648 00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:57.679 Donald Trump said, it'll be business for US. I expose 649 00:38:57.719 --> 00:39:00.880 that means the military industrial complex business. It will be, 650 00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:05.960 of course business for American patriot manufacturers, he said, And 651 00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:08.840 we will send them patriots, which they desperately need. Because 652 00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:11.159 Putin really supplied prizes a lot of people. He talks 653 00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:14.400 nice and then he bombs everybody in the evening. There's 654 00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:16.119 a little bit of a problem there, and I don't 655 00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:21.440 like it. So didn't say how many Patriot air defense 656 00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:23.400 system he's going to be sending. Expected to meet with 657 00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:28.800 North Atlantic Treaty Organization Secretary General Mark Ruddy. Ruddy at 658 00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:33.960 the White House today to talk about that. Apparently Ukraine 659 00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:36.800 only has a handful of Patriot systems that we donated 660 00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:39.440 to them some other countries as well, and seeking more 661 00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:43.800 of them to fend off the escalating Russian attacks. Fine, 662 00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:47.679 do you know much a patriot missile system costs? The 663 00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:55.519 individual missile about four million dollars a pop. A full 664 00:39:55.559 --> 00:39:59.239 battery of Patriot. The whole missile system, including the missile launcher, radar, 665 00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:08.679 and other essential components, reportedly cost one point one billion dollars. Now, 666 00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:12.440 how many Patriot missiles must be used to fend off 667 00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:15.599 from a swarm attack of more than six hundred drones 668 00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:19.239 at the same time, How many four million dollar Patriot 669 00:40:19.239 --> 00:40:21.840 missiles do you have to launch into the air? Can 670 00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:24.239 you sustain the number of missiles that will be needed 671 00:40:24.280 --> 00:40:27.880 on regular attacks like these drone swarms that they're sending 672 00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:30.800 over there? And again, you got to remember the drone 673 00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:34.679 swarms are basically to deter and distract while the missiles 674 00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:36.920 hopefully make it through, at least hopefully from the mind 675 00:40:36.960 --> 00:40:42.519 of the Russians, And it's been regularly observed that's a 676 00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:49.119 real problem. Drones Russia is firing such huge numbers at 677 00:40:49.199 --> 00:40:52.679 Ukraine are slower and less powerful than conventional missiles, admittedly, 678 00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:56.280 but it's the sheer number of them saturating the skies 679 00:40:56.280 --> 00:41:00.360 and overwhelming the Ukrainian defense systems, which requires you Ukraine 680 00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:04.559 to use expensive interceptors to target these less expensive shah 681 00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:10.280 Heat or Juran drones, which depletes the defensive arsenal. Again, 682 00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:13.159 going back to the Patriot missile batteries at four million 683 00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:24.920 dollars a pop. One military expert reportedly it's in Fox News. 684 00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:29.760 Fabian Hoffmann, military technology expert at University of Oslo, speaking 685 00:41:29.800 --> 00:41:31.920 with Fox, He says Ukraine can adopt a strategy of 686 00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:37.880 hitting drone launch sites, target Rush's defense industries factories that 687 00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:40.239 produce the component parts for the parts for the drones 688 00:41:40.280 --> 00:41:43.760 and explosives, computer chips and other advanced electronics. But trying 689 00:41:43.800 --> 00:41:45.599 to deal his quote, trying to deal with the drone 690 00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:50.920 attacks just using missile defenses is a losing gain. Europeans 691 00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:54.639 are heavily bolstering air missile defense capabilities, but it is 692 00:41:54.719 --> 00:41:58.440 not enough, he said. Russia is expanding its offensive capabilities faster, 693 00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:07.199 and offensive weapons are cheaper to produce than defensive Yeah, 694 00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:09.760 the nature of battle has certainly changed, has it not. 695 00:42:11.440 --> 00:42:13.800 But I'm not sure that Patriot missiles are the answer 696 00:42:13.840 --> 00:42:16.519 to this problem. I know Trump is trying to get 697 00:42:16.599 --> 00:42:19.079 Russia to the table to renounce some sort of ceasefire 698 00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:23.039 or negotiate some measure of peace between the two countries. Russia, 699 00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:25.960 as he indicated, doesn't seem really willing to want to 700 00:42:26.519 --> 00:42:29.800 do anything serious about that they talk a good game 701 00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:33.239 during the day and then overnight launch swarms of drones 702 00:42:33.239 --> 00:42:37.599 at Ukraine, various cities and most notably non military targets 703 00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:41.760 being hit regularly as well. Charlie Foxtrot, folks, It's all 704 00:42:41.800 --> 00:42:43.519 I can conclude. Let's see what Bobby's got on the 705 00:42:43.519 --> 00:42:45.679 subject this morning, Bobby, thanks for calling it a Happy 706 00:42:45.679 --> 00:42:46.679 Monday to you, my friend. 707 00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:51.119 Happy Monday, Mike, praying, keep pulling that torture freedom high. 708 00:42:51.159 --> 00:42:53.840 I'm bright trying to figure it out, Bobby, trying to 709 00:42:53.880 --> 00:42:54.519 figure it out. 710 00:42:55.920 --> 00:42:59.239 Hey, with all the violence that we're having locally here 711 00:42:59.280 --> 00:43:01.519 in the Cincinnati the area, do you think they could 712 00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:06.000 kind of get that skateboard park in Washington Park going 713 00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:08.000 on a little bit, Master, It's only a million and 714 00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:09.039 a half dollars are. 715 00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:11.159 Going to pend, you know, and that'll stop it. 716 00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:18.639 Yeah. I'm just wondering how many people from outside the 717 00:43:18.719 --> 00:43:21.320 Washington Park area will be going to skate park. 718 00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:25.039 I'm willing to venture very few, slim to none. How 719 00:43:25.079 --> 00:43:25.679 about that. 720 00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:29.599 I handed it. I handed capped to ten people in 721 00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:31.559 six months, so that's not too bad. 722 00:43:32.519 --> 00:43:35.199 Let's see if your numbers bear that out, Bobby. 723 00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:36.800 I have a good day. 724 00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:38.920 But I do say, my friend six fifteen fifty five 725 00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:41.000 KR seedy talk station, you can feel free to call 726 00:43:41.039 --> 00:43:50.000 as well a six twenty year if the five PRCZ 727 00:43:50.159 --> 00:43:57.360 talk station five going three seven eight hundred eight two 728 00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:00.159 three talko ton fact fifty on eight and find a 729 00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:04.559 wonderful weekend. Ah, not going well for Democrats. Get another 730 00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:07.639 pole out And yes, I understand, we all know how 731 00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:10.840 we appreciate poles. But this is a Democrat super pack 732 00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:13.400 run poll. It's called by It was done by Unite 733 00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:19.000 the Country, conducted between May and June, so Democratic super pack. 734 00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:23.039 So you would figure there's to be Democrat leaning and 735 00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:25.760 that the outcomes and the answers would be skewed to 736 00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:30.239 favor the Democrats. But there's no hiding what the Democrats 737 00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:36.719 find themselves facing this pole. Boiled down show voters precede 738 00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:39.400 the Democratic Party as quote out of touch, close quote 739 00:44:39.480 --> 00:44:45.800 woke and weak. Party apparently seen its support a road 740 00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:52.519 with white men, Hispanic men, and working class voters. Oh 741 00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:56.639 the former, you know, sweet spot for the Democratic Party. 742 00:44:56.679 --> 00:45:00.039 Approval ratings below thirty five percent among white men and 743 00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:07.480 Hispanic men and working class voters generally, and enthusiasm apparently 744 00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:10.760 down since the big loss last year. In November, Democratic 745 00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:15.199 strategist Rodell MULLINEU, it's the senior advisor with this Democrat 746 00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:18.480 superPAC quote. This is the reality of the perception of 747 00:45:18.559 --> 00:45:21.159 us as a party, and until we accept that, it's 748 00:45:21.159 --> 00:45:23.840 going to be hard to move forward. There's a perception 749 00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:29.320 out there outside of Democratic elites, and it's taken hold 750 00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:32.039 in not just the MAGA crowd, but people that should 751 00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:38.360 be with us, i e. Democrats, He said, Democrats need 752 00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:41.840 to realize that in order to improve and get better 753 00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:44.599 to not only win in twenty twenty eight, but to 754 00:45:44.599 --> 00:45:46.519 win in twenty thirty and twenty thirty two and beyond, 755 00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:50.599 Democrats need to realize that in order to improve and 756 00:45:50.639 --> 00:45:56.480 get better to not only win in twenty eight. I 757 00:45:56.519 --> 00:45:58.840 don't even know what that means. What, okay, what is 758 00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:02.039 specifically improvement? How are you going to make things better 759 00:46:02.039 --> 00:46:05.480 for the Democrats? Doesn't mean issues and arguments and pleas 760 00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:12.760 to the American people that resonate This on the heels 761 00:46:12.760 --> 00:46:14.800 of a recent ap North Pole out in May showing 762 00:46:14.840 --> 00:46:17.480 only thirty five percent of survey Democrats are optimistic about 763 00:46:17.519 --> 00:46:21.360 the party's future. Fifty seven percent were optimistic in July 764 00:46:21.559 --> 00:46:27.079 of last year, so they've had a precipitous drop. Apparently 765 00:46:27.199 --> 00:46:31.000 donors and bundlers are not writing checks for the Democrats 766 00:46:33.000 --> 00:46:37.840 unite the country again. This super packed Democrat poll conducted 767 00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:41.159 with voters in twenty one battleground counties across ten states, 768 00:46:41.159 --> 00:46:44.079 revealing that Democrats have not escaped the shadow of their 769 00:46:44.119 --> 00:46:46.800 loss in twenty twenty four. Voters perceptions of the party 770 00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:54.119 remained the same. Democrats have had opportunities that's written here 771 00:46:54.199 --> 00:46:59.679 to hit back a Trump administration, including on tariffs, immigration deportations, 772 00:46:59.679 --> 00:47:02.639 and recently the Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. But pause and 773 00:47:02.679 --> 00:47:07.360 think about those as topics, most notably immigration deportations, polling 774 00:47:07.599 --> 00:47:10.559 very successfully for the Republicans side of the ledger, not 775 00:47:10.639 --> 00:47:13.920 so for the Democrats. Democrats are struggling with the reality 776 00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:16.039 of what they had under the Biden administration was one big, 777 00:47:16.079 --> 00:47:19.840 beautiful open border with millions of folks coming into our country, 778 00:47:19.880 --> 00:47:22.880 overwhelming resources and cities, and creating all the problems that 779 00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:26.119 have been created, including crime. That's not a winner on them. 780 00:47:26.159 --> 00:47:29.559 How could they turn that into a winning argument they're trying. 781 00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:34.239 You got all these left winging radicals going after ice 782 00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:36.599 agents who are merely trying to do their job and 783 00:47:36.760 --> 00:47:40.679 enforce America's immigration laws, laws that are on the books. 784 00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:44.440 And when you poll the American people, the American people 785 00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:47.000 are behind the efforts of ICE, So they're not with 786 00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:51.159 the protesters who are well engaging in violent and dangerous 787 00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:58.880 conduct against our ICE agents. Steve Shale, democratic strategists and 788 00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:01.960 CEO of the super Pack Unite the Country, I was 789 00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:04.719 frustrated during the one big Beautiful bill stuff we missed 790 00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:08.480 an opportunity to really define a different kind of vision. Really, 791 00:48:09.559 --> 00:48:12.199 why don't you out loud to find that what specifically 792 00:48:12.199 --> 00:48:14.159 should you have said during the discussion of the Big 793 00:48:14.199 --> 00:48:16.679 Beautiful Bill that would turn the Democrat Party in people's 794 00:48:16.719 --> 00:48:19.599 perception of it around. See, they're just they make these 795 00:48:19.599 --> 00:48:22.960 statements in an absolute factual vacuum. They don't have anything 796 00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:25.440 to run on. What they want to run on and 797 00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:29.119 have been emphasizing is not popular with the American people. 798 00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:32.599 That's that whole summary boil down position that they're out 799 00:48:32.599 --> 00:48:39.639 of touch, woke and weak woke doesn't work. It doesn't. 800 00:48:42.079 --> 00:48:46.360 Super PAC's poll revealed the Democrats prime emphasis fighting for democracy. 801 00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:50.280 While as popular as a phrase catchphrase within the Democratic Party, 802 00:48:50.840 --> 00:48:55.039 does it resonate with the general electorate. Nor does soft 803 00:48:55.079 --> 00:49:01.360 on immigration policy. It turns voters away, So no one's 804 00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:04.119 buying into you. Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. 805 00:49:04.159 --> 00:49:06.880 Claim you're on the wrong side of immigration, You're on 806 00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:09.599 the wrong side of women playing or men playing in 807 00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:12.239 women's sports. You're on the wrong side of the woke ideology. 808 00:49:12.239 --> 00:49:14.679 You're on the wrong side of literally almost every single 809 00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:18.039 popular policy position, at least among the Democrat elites in 810 00:49:18.079 --> 00:49:22.119 the party. So here's just one absolutely far left leaning 811 00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:25.719 poll confirming all that, yet coming up with absolutely nothing 812 00:49:26.559 --> 00:49:32.360 by way of solutions or suggestions for the Democrats. So 813 00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:35.480 enjoy it. I guess. I mean, I'm not trying to 814 00:49:35.519 --> 00:49:38.320 come up with strategies for the Democrats. But I mean, 815 00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:41.880 if what you're doing is literally failing before your very eyes, 816 00:49:43.239 --> 00:49:45.760 don't you think you may well take a play our 817 00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:48.119 page out of the other side's playbooks since the other 818 00:49:48.159 --> 00:49:51.800 side seems to be accomplishing its objectives the other side's 819 00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:57.920 presidential candidate. Excuse me, Donald Trump actually campaigned on what 820 00:49:58.039 --> 00:50:02.400 he's delivering, including the big Beautiful bill, and we voted 821 00:50:02.440 --> 00:50:08.760 for him to hopefully accomplish his campaign pledges. I guess 822 00:50:08.840 --> 00:50:11.280 the Democrats called that one wrong six twenty seven fifty 823 00:50:11.280 --> 00:50:13.800 five k seed fun on a Monday, that'd be Monday 824 00:50:13.800 --> 00:50:16.960 to five on three seven, nine to fifty five, two 825 00:50:16.960 --> 00:50:19.519 to three Talk down five fifty on AT and T 826 00:50:19.719 --> 00:50:22.960 phones and Brian James on the ball just sent in 827 00:50:23.079 --> 00:50:26.480 us a topic list for his points coming up from 828 00:50:26.679 --> 00:50:29.920 Money Monday at eighth five, including Fed's facing an epic 829 00:50:29.920 --> 00:50:33.519 conundrum in the second half, corne to economists, some of 830 00:50:33.519 --> 00:50:35.639 the tax breaks in the big beautiful bill smaller than 831 00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:42.960 you think, and uh see year inflation. Finally to suppose 832 00:50:43.320 --> 00:50:47.320 supposed to show a tariff related increase. The Fed still 833 00:50:47.400 --> 00:50:50.760 might cut interest rates anyway, which would come as probably 834 00:50:50.800 --> 00:50:53.039 good news to most folks out there, especially those looking 835 00:50:53.079 --> 00:50:57.360 them buy a home cutting into interest rates. Over local stories, 836 00:50:57.320 --> 00:51:01.519 Sin Saint Polase, investigating two separate shootings happened over responded 837 00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:03.760 about midnight to reports of at least one person shot 838 00:51:03.840 --> 00:51:05.760 in the seven hundred block of Dutch Colony Drive in 839 00:51:05.800 --> 00:51:10.159 Winton Hills, one person taking to UC Medical Center, since 840 00:51:10.199 --> 00:51:13.119 I please are investigating a shooting at Clark and Lynn 841 00:51:13.199 --> 00:51:17.559 Streets in the West End as well.

When officers got there, 858 00:52:17.480 --> 00:52:20.960 an unidentified suspect fired a weapon at the police. Officers 859 00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:24.039 attempted to negotiate with this guy. Suspect continued to threaten 860 00:52:24.119 --> 00:52:28.320 officers with his firearm, so police opened fire and hit 861 00:52:28.400 --> 00:52:32.880 the suspect and then he died.

That 866 00:52:44.920 --> 00:52:46.880 it's all captured on a ring camera from a nearby 867 00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:51.400 home which caught the sound of six gun shots and 868 00:52:51.519 --> 00:52:53.840 it's in the video.

Happy Monday. Christopher Smiman 919 00:55:39.960 --> 00:55:43.360 coming up at seven twenty for the Smither bent, you 920 00:55:43.360 --> 00:55:45.079 can feel free to call five one, three, seven, four 921 00:55:45.119 --> 00:55:48.440 nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred two three talk charrit'st 922 00:55:48.440 --> 00:55:50.199 here the direction of the conversation. That's great with me. 923 00:55:50.320 --> 00:55:52.239 And coming off the heels of that poll that I mentioned, 924 00:55:52.280 --> 00:55:57.239 the Democratic super Pac poll again a Democrat leaning pole 925 00:55:58.320 --> 00:56:02.039 overseen by Democrats unite the country, showing that the Democrat 926 00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:05.719 Party is woke week and out of touch. So say 927 00:56:05.719 --> 00:56:09.039 it the Democrats that were polled. What do you do 928 00:56:09.079 --> 00:56:11.239 when you woke weekend out of touch? You go and 929 00:56:11.320 --> 00:56:14.400 attack people while they're enjoying themselves in their private lives. 930 00:56:14.480 --> 00:56:16.400 And this is part of a growing trend that I 931 00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:19.840 find very troubling, and I would not personally participate in 932 00:56:20.000 --> 00:56:24.800 going after my Democrat foes when they're gathering in private, 933 00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:27.079 when they were at their enjoying the comfort and solace 934 00:56:27.159 --> 00:56:30.159 of their own homes. I think it's offensive to go 935 00:56:30.239 --> 00:56:33.519 after them and they're off time. Personally, I wouldn't want 936 00:56:33.519 --> 00:56:35.079 it to happen to me, and I can't see that 937 00:56:35.079 --> 00:56:36.559 it will be a good thing happening to them, because 938 00:56:36.599 --> 00:56:38.559 then you know, get the argument to turn about's fair play. 939 00:56:38.639 --> 00:56:40.159 But if you have nothing to run on, you're on 940 00:56:40.199 --> 00:56:41.960 the wrong side of all the issues. I guess that's 941 00:56:42.000 --> 00:56:44.599 what you do, and you egg people on to do it. 942 00:56:45.800 --> 00:56:49.519 Enter Gavin Newsome, governor of the state of California, targeting 943 00:56:49.639 --> 00:56:52.440 Vice President J. D. Vance and his wife and children 944 00:56:52.480 --> 00:56:59.639 while they were visiting Disneyland. He shared a video a 945 00:56:59.760 --> 00:57:03.920 van and his family at Disneyland, saying, hope you enjoy 946 00:57:04.039 --> 00:57:06.920 your family time at JD. Vans. The families you're tearing 947 00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:11.679 apart certainly won't. Of course, there were protesters outside Disneyland 948 00:57:11.760 --> 00:57:16.679 protesting Vance and his family over Friday and Saturday because 949 00:57:16.760 --> 00:57:19.239 it had been widely reported the JD. Evans was enjoying 950 00:57:19.320 --> 00:57:21.679 some family time at Disneyland. So what do you do? 951 00:57:21.800 --> 00:57:24.440 You go after him? Do you feel sorry for the 952 00:57:24.559 --> 00:57:30.880 children on this? I appreciate the fact that a politician 953 00:57:30.920 --> 00:57:33.199 may invite this upon themselves because they run for politics 954 00:57:33.239 --> 00:57:34.559 and there are always somebody on the other side of 955 00:57:34.559 --> 00:57:36.519 the of the of the political ledger that doesn't like 956 00:57:36.599 --> 00:57:41.079 what they're doing. But again, this was a private visit. 957 00:57:41.199 --> 00:57:43.440 It had nothing to do with politics. He's taking his 958 00:57:43.599 --> 00:57:47.719 kids to Disneyland to enjoy a fun day at the park. So, 959 00:57:47.760 --> 00:57:51.039 in addition to Gavin knew some egging people on to attack. 960 00:57:51.159 --> 00:57:54.039 Basically fund I boil this down to attack a politician 961 00:57:54.199 --> 00:57:59.719 in the private time. Local Democrats also encouraging protests to 962 00:57:59.719 --> 00:58:02.079 tark Advance and his family over the weekend. Orange County 963 00:58:02.159 --> 00:58:08.000 Supervisor Vincente's armenia mento, I am offended by the visit 964 00:58:08.079 --> 00:58:11.079 because so many families are being terrorized by the politics 965 00:58:11.719 --> 00:58:14.760 or policies from the federal government. He's aferring, of course, 966 00:58:14.800 --> 00:58:17.760 to illegal immigrants, most notably criminal illegal immigrants who are 967 00:58:17.840 --> 00:58:21.639 being targeted by ICE for deportation from our country, again 968 00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:29.280 a policy widely popular in the American among the American people. So, 969 00:58:29.599 --> 00:58:31.000 you know, I don't know what you think about this, 970 00:58:31.360 --> 00:58:34.840 but we've had Supreme Court justices been attacked in their homes. 971 00:58:35.599 --> 00:58:39.199 We've had lives threatened on a daily basis. It's easy 972 00:58:39.239 --> 00:58:41.320 to do in a world full of social media. Of course, 973 00:58:41.440 --> 00:58:44.079 you can almost fully get away with it because of 974 00:58:44.199 --> 00:58:47.079 the you know, difficulties in identifying who any individual is 975 00:58:47.360 --> 00:58:52.920 making these outlandish and absurd threats against politicians and other 976 00:58:52.960 --> 00:58:58.880 elected officials and appointed officials. So I'm not sure necessarily 977 00:58:58.880 --> 00:59:00.400 how to deal with it, but I do not think 978 00:59:00.480 --> 00:59:05.400 it is an appropriate prudent thing for folks as high 979 00:59:05.440 --> 00:59:10.280 as Governor Gavin Knew some stature to encourage people to 980 00:59:10.360 --> 00:59:13.000 engage in this type of activity. This is an act 981 00:59:13.039 --> 00:59:16.760 of desperation, is what I view it as. So you're 982 00:59:16.800 --> 00:59:20.960 going to frighten, and I think this is the intended point. 983 00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:24.599 Like for example, if you threaten judges because of some 984 00:59:24.960 --> 00:59:28.000 ruling that you anticipate them making. Your hope is I 985 00:59:28.079 --> 00:59:30.800 suppose in threatening them, is you better come up with 986 00:59:30.800 --> 00:59:33.639 a different conclusion in that decision, or something is going 987 00:59:33.679 --> 00:59:36.960 to happen to you. You better change your policies relative 988 00:59:37.000 --> 00:59:40.639 to going after criminal illegal aliens in our country, or 989 00:59:40.719 --> 00:59:42.320 something is going to happen to you. We are going 990 00:59:42.400 --> 00:59:44.559 to protest to you. We are coming after your family, 991 00:59:44.639 --> 00:59:48.320 We are coming after you on vacation, which means you're 992 00:59:48.360 --> 00:59:51.199 not safe anywhere. And the message is coming through loud 993 00:59:51.239 --> 00:59:57.480 and clear. There's no question about it. Just wish the 994 00:59:57.599 --> 01:00:02.039 remorse responsible folks. Got I supposed of all political stripes 995 01:00:02.159 --> 01:00:05.760 not advocating for this type of behavior. No good can 996 01:00:05.800 --> 01:00:08.320 come of it.

I'm a huge fan, a 1031 01:01:57.639 --> 01:02:00.519 fan of Eveig Ramaswami. I'm looking forward having him as 1032 01:02:00.519 --> 01:02:02.199 the next govern of the state of Ohio, who seems 1033 01:02:02.239 --> 01:02:04.639 like he has a lock hate saying that out loud 1034 01:02:04.719 --> 01:02:06.400 for fear that it may be jinx. I know, bad 1035 01:02:06.480 --> 01:02:09.480 things can happen between now and the election, but he 1036 01:02:09.559 --> 01:02:11.880 seems to have it, you know, I mean all of 1037 01:02:12.039 --> 01:02:15.559 the major backers are going with Ramaswami. He's got tons 1038 01:02:15.599 --> 01:02:18.239 of money coming into his political campaign. Not that that should, 1039 01:02:18.760 --> 01:02:21.000 you know, stop you from making a donation as well. 1040 01:02:21.079 --> 01:02:24.880 But the VVIKE super Pac is alive and well, and 1041 01:02:26.840 --> 01:02:28.599 because one of the things he's running on is to 1042 01:02:28.719 --> 01:02:32.840 grow business in the state of Ohio, he's off to 1043 01:02:32.920 --> 01:02:35.039 New York, where he's gonna unveil a display add in 1044 01:02:35.119 --> 01:02:38.280 Times Square today to suggest the New Yorkers it's time 1045 01:02:38.320 --> 01:02:40.800 for them to leave New York and head to Ohio, 1046 01:02:43.199 --> 01:02:48.239 paid for by v V super Pac visitor Victors not 1047 01:02:48.599 --> 01:02:53.960 Victims supports Ramaswami's a good nottorial run as a Republican 1048 01:02:54.000 --> 01:02:57.639 here in Ohio. The ad reportedly portrayed will portray Zarhan 1049 01:02:57.840 --> 01:03:01.480 Mom Donnie the crazy Kami who won the Democratic primary 1050 01:03:01.559 --> 01:03:03.840 for the city New York City, which has freaked out, 1051 01:03:05.039 --> 01:03:08.280 I mean a lot of Democrats too. They're worried as long, 1052 01:03:08.440 --> 01:03:09.760 I mean as much as they can be that this 1053 01:03:09.800 --> 01:03:11.280 guy's going to be the next mayor of New York 1054 01:03:11.280 --> 01:03:13.440 and if his policies are implemented, no one's going to 1055 01:03:13.519 --> 01:03:19.280 want to remain in New York. Radical socialist. Apparently, the 1056 01:03:19.400 --> 01:03:24.760 Ramaswami ad campaign will read ready to flee NYC. It'll 1057 01:03:24.800 --> 01:03:29.559 show Ramaswami as someone protecting freedom and will read move 1058 01:03:29.960 --> 01:03:34.840 to Ohio. Apparently, Ed's going to say, worried about Zorhan, 1059 01:03:34.960 --> 01:03:40.480 Ohio is waiting for you. Apparently, I was a popular destination. 1060 01:03:40.599 --> 01:03:43.079 Ohio the twentieth most popular state for people to move 1061 01:03:43.119 --> 01:03:45.079 to that were leaving New York. We had a total 1062 01:03:45.079 --> 01:03:47.840 of thirty one people move out of New York and 1063 01:03:47.880 --> 01:03:52.079 had to Ohio in twenty twenty two. Andy Serabian, the 1064 01:03:52.199 --> 01:03:57.199 chief strategist for this Ramaswami pack, speaking New York Post 1065 01:03:58.239 --> 01:03:59.840 that people live in New York City should move to 1066 01:03:59.840 --> 01:04:02.599 a state that is about to elect a conservative trail 1067 01:04:02.639 --> 01:04:05.639 blazer committed to liberty and prosperity for all, while Mandami 1068 01:04:05.679 --> 01:04:08.119 will further crush New York City with his job killing 1069 01:04:08.280 --> 01:04:13.320 socialist Tyranny Vivak ready to unleash freedom, supercharge the American 1070 01:04:13.400 --> 01:04:17.199 dream in make Ohio a state of excellence. We've put 1071 01:04:17.280 --> 01:04:20.000 this billboard up because we couldn't think of two politicians 1072 01:04:20.039 --> 01:04:22.639 in the country that represents such wildly different paths for 1073 01:04:22.719 --> 01:04:25.559 a future in our nation. The Mondami path is socialist 1074 01:04:25.639 --> 01:04:31.440 totalitarianism versus the v vague path of American freedom. Freedom. Well, 1075 01:04:31.519 --> 01:04:33.320 good for him. I don't know if it's going to 1076 01:04:33.360 --> 01:04:43.239 actually bear fruit, but he is a real threat to 1077 01:04:43.360 --> 01:04:48.400 New York City. There's a lot of prominent business CEOs 1078 01:04:48.559 --> 01:04:51.960 that have, you know, massive numbers of people employed in 1079 01:04:52.000 --> 01:04:55.440 New York City. Financial and otherwise industries are saying he's 1080 01:04:55.480 --> 01:04:57.079 going to be a terrible thing for New York and 1081 01:04:57.159 --> 01:04:59.880 they're talking about moving out. We've already had some major 1082 01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:02.280 businesses move out of New York City for taxation and 1083 01:05:02.360 --> 01:05:05.960 regulation reasons alone. Along comes mun Domin. He's talking about 1084 01:05:06.239 --> 01:05:11.760 rent control, increasing taxes on those pesky millionaires, the ones 1085 01:05:11.800 --> 01:05:15.039 that actually pay the taxes and keep New York City running. Yeah, 1086 01:05:15.119 --> 01:05:19.199 you're gonna run out of those at some point. And 1087 01:05:19.360 --> 01:05:27.239 of course everything that he has proposed has been proven 1088 01:05:27.280 --> 01:05:30.639 to be a demonstrable failure wherever else it has been tried. 1089 01:05:30.800 --> 01:05:34.079 This is the problem with Commis and socialists. They keep saying, well, no, 1090 01:05:34.280 --> 01:05:37.119 we just didn't do it right. Then next time we're 1091 01:05:37.119 --> 01:05:42.280 gonna get it right. No, No, the next time it's 1092 01:05:42.320 --> 01:05:45.079 gonna go south on you, just like it always does. 1093 01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:53.320 A Well, he has a thirty five percent favorability rating 1094 01:05:53.360 --> 01:05:56.320 among the voters mom Domi does this accord of the 1095 01:05:56.360 --> 01:05:59.920 most recent poll conducted July ninth by Politico. Another left 1096 01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:04.480 between left leaning polster Andrew Cuomo coming in second with 1097 01:06:04.599 --> 01:06:10.119 twenty five percent, so New Yorker's will have a choice. 1098 01:06:10.159 --> 01:06:12.159 So maybe it'll finally sink in that this guy is 1099 01:06:12.239 --> 01:06:16.760 a recipe for absolute disaster. But I do appreciate Vive 1100 01:06:16.920 --> 01:06:20.000 getting in front of the situation, and uh just I 1101 01:06:20.079 --> 01:06:23.880 guess it's a great way of contrasting freedom versus totalitarianism, 1102 01:06:23.920 --> 01:06:28.960 which is exactly what the ad campaign does. Of course, 1103 01:06:29.079 --> 01:06:35.280 gives him a larger nationwide presence since this is clearly 1104 01:06:35.559 --> 01:06:38.719 a race that has, I mean, the nation's attention, this 1105 01:06:38.880 --> 01:06:42.559 merrill race in New York, so probably prudent strategy. It 1106 01:06:42.639 --> 01:06:45.039 only cost them fifty grand and the display is going 1107 01:06:45.119 --> 01:06:47.079 to remain up for the full week. Whether that's any 1108 01:06:47.159 --> 01:06:48.960 fruit for the state of Ohio, we'll wait and see. 1109 01:06:50.000 --> 01:06:52.599 Doesn't hurt though, does it? Six fifty five ifty five 1110 01:06:52.679 --> 01:06:54.880 k c DE Talk Station. More to talk about after 1111 01:06:54.880 --> 01:06:56.719 the top of the air and this plus Christopher Smithman 1112 01:06:56.760 --> 01:06:58.199 coming up at seven to twenty.

Always enjoy that. 1118 01:07:28.719 --> 01:07:30.199 I'm not quite sure what he's going to talk about 1119 01:07:30.239 --> 01:07:32.719 it if it will be crime, which is obviously a 1120 01:07:32.760 --> 01:07:35.440 continuing problem, as evidences by the number of shootings over 1121 01:07:35.480 --> 01:07:38.320 the weekend the Cincinnati area and Greater Cincinnati area. Monday, Monday, 1122 01:07:38.360 --> 01:07:40.320 Brian James one hour from now eight to oh five, 1123 01:07:40.920 --> 01:07:43.440 variety of different topics talk about with Brian James.

Since we all voted for legalization, he's 1128 01:07:57.800 --> 01:08:00.360 trying to stop some of the Republicans from putting more 1129 01:08:00.440 --> 01:08:06.119 curbs and restrictions on the general law that we passed 1130 01:08:06.159 --> 01:08:09.000 that allows for legalization a weed in the state of Ohio. 1131 01:08:09.440 --> 01:08:11.599 So text will join the programm at eed forty meantime 1132 01:08:11.639 --> 01:08:13.800 over the phones will go. Let's start with Matt. Matt, 1133 01:08:13.840 --> 01:08:15.639 thanks for calling this morning. Happy Monday to you. 1134 01:08:17.159 --> 01:08:20.199 Oh, happy Monday, Brian. Yeah, I just want to talk 1135 01:08:20.239 --> 01:08:23.239 about the shootings over in Cincinnati. 1136 01:08:23.600 --> 01:08:26.159 Yeah, which one you got a lot to choose from. 1137 01:08:27.279 --> 01:08:31.920 Well, now, smither Vent said that most of the shootings 1138 01:08:32.000 --> 01:08:34.800 are in the black community, and he can say that 1139 01:08:34.920 --> 01:08:36.319 without being racist because I. 1140 01:08:36.359 --> 01:08:39.560 Believe he's black. Right, Well, I think anybody could say 1141 01:08:39.600 --> 01:08:43.079 that because statistically that's a fact. I mean, I mean, 1142 01:08:43.279 --> 01:08:45.600 if someone wants to label you a racist for saying 1143 01:08:45.720 --> 01:08:47.960 something that is true out loud, if it has a 1144 01:08:48.039 --> 01:08:50.760 connection to the heart of the problem, I think it 1145 01:08:50.920 --> 01:08:53.199 is really important to note that because most of the 1146 01:08:53.279 --> 01:08:55.880 victims are black. And why is it that many people 1147 01:08:55.960 --> 01:08:58.159 within the black community, like Black Lives Matter, are the 1148 01:08:58.199 --> 01:08:59.920 ones that want to get rid of the police department 1149 01:09:00.479 --> 01:09:03.800 that only harms their own community. So is it racist 1150 01:09:03.840 --> 01:09:05.359 to point that out? I don't think so. 1151 01:09:06.720 --> 01:09:11.399 Okay, Bryan, check me on this. Several years ago, there 1152 01:09:11.560 --> 01:09:15.800 was a report that the City of Cinc. Ninety police 1153 01:09:15.840 --> 01:09:21.439 department was racist. I remember that. It might be ten, fifteen, 1154 01:09:21.560 --> 01:09:23.680 forey years ago, but I remember that. Okay, So let 1155 01:09:23.720 --> 01:09:26.319 to do. They pulled back from the black community. They 1156 01:09:27.000 --> 01:09:32.479 let them live their lives without getting in there. So 1157 01:09:32.680 --> 01:09:36.479 now what has happened Now the crime rate has gone up. 1158 01:09:36.840 --> 01:09:40.880 They're not racist anymore, but the black community is in 1159 01:09:41.039 --> 01:09:45.800 trouble and even the local even a lot of people 1160 01:09:45.880 --> 01:09:48.199 in the black community say we need help. Yeah, so 1161 01:09:48.359 --> 01:09:51.159 that's what the city, if since and needs do figure 1162 01:09:51.199 --> 01:09:54.960 out what to do to get him to help at 1163 01:09:55.039 --> 01:09:56.159 the black community needs. 1164 01:09:56.239 --> 01:09:58.239 Yeah, probably'll adjust. 1165 01:09:57.880 --> 01:10:01.000 That there's the violence. This is going to continue and 1166 01:10:01.039 --> 01:10:02.000 it'll get worse. 1167 01:10:02.359 --> 01:10:03.399 More and more and more. 1168 01:10:03.760 --> 01:10:08.199 Yeah, Well that would require I guess more proactive policing. 1169 01:10:08.319 --> 01:10:10.279 You know, we saw that in New York City, proactive 1170 01:10:10.319 --> 01:10:13.680 policing regularly, regularly encountering folks on the street and asking 1171 01:10:13.720 --> 01:10:16.840 them questions. It resulted in a precipitous drop in crime. 1172 01:10:17.159 --> 01:10:19.600 What happened when they got rid of proactive policing while 1173 01:10:19.680 --> 01:10:21.800 crime went through the roof. And I suspect there may 1174 01:10:21.840 --> 01:10:23.560 be something in connection with that. But this has got 1175 01:10:23.680 --> 01:10:26.359 multiple layers. Had you started out with the George Floyd 1176 01:10:26.399 --> 01:10:28.920 defund the police riots, Black Lives Matter, you got to 1177 01:10:28.920 --> 01:10:30.520 get rid of the police. They need to rethink the 1178 01:10:30.560 --> 01:10:32.920 police department. That was all the wave and all the 1179 01:10:33.000 --> 01:10:35.520 raids there for a long time. All the cities across 1180 01:10:35.600 --> 01:10:40.479 this country who experienced that and who followed those those formats, 1181 01:10:40.520 --> 01:10:43.920 those recipes for you know, transforming the police have all 1182 01:10:44.079 --> 01:10:47.399 dealt with precipitous increases in crime. They're all learning their 1183 01:10:47.479 --> 01:10:50.159 lessons and they're going back in the opposite direction. I 1184 01:10:50.239 --> 01:10:52.239 think this is one of the frustrations Christopher has been 1185 01:10:52.279 --> 01:10:55.119 expressing week after week with the administration, the mayor, and 1186 01:10:55.319 --> 01:10:59.399 council members just not saying anything, ignoring the problem as 1187 01:10:59.399 --> 01:11:04.600 if it doesn't exist, not providing reasonable, in appropriate suggestions 1188 01:11:04.640 --> 01:11:07.359 by way of reform that would help any community in 1189 01:11:07.439 --> 01:11:11.000 the city of Cincinnati get the violence under control. And 1190 01:11:11.399 --> 01:11:14.079 the silence is indeed deafening. Why don't they regularly go 1191 01:11:14.159 --> 01:11:16.239 out and support the police? Christopher said it a bunch 1192 01:11:16.279 --> 01:11:19.079 of times. Yes, in my neighborhood where I live in 1193 01:11:19.199 --> 01:11:21.880 the city, one of many of the neighborhoods, most people 1194 01:11:22.000 --> 01:11:25.199 want more police. They aren't caught up in this, and 1195 01:11:25.239 --> 01:11:27.439 they don't agree that this is the police force are 1196 01:11:27.439 --> 01:11:31.319 all evil, racist collective folks that need to be done 1197 01:11:31.319 --> 01:11:34.039 away with. We don't need to reimagine police, We need 1198 01:11:34.079 --> 01:11:35.439 to bring it back to the neighborhood to help us 1199 01:11:35.640 --> 01:11:41.199 defend off the crime. So you know, somebody's going to 1200 01:11:41.279 --> 01:11:42.920 call your racist if they want to call your racists. 1201 01:11:42.920 --> 01:11:45.840 Because many people cower in the face of an accusation 1202 01:11:46.000 --> 01:11:49.000 of racism. You know, whether or not you're a racist, 1203 01:11:50.159 --> 01:11:52.640 if you got logical and reasonable principles and points you 1204 01:11:52.680 --> 01:11:56.000 can make to defend yourself, your conclusions that led to 1205 01:11:56.079 --> 01:12:01.279 this charge of racism and stick to your guns. That's 1206 01:12:03.119 --> 01:12:05.000 I don't think it's working as much as it used 1207 01:12:05.000 --> 01:12:06.119 to it. You know, it's kind of like the Boyo 1208 01:12:06.159 --> 01:12:07.880 cried wolf. There's only so many times you can say it, 1209 01:12:07.880 --> 01:12:10.119 and then people find like a they their eyes gloss over, 1210 01:12:10.239 --> 01:12:15.640 They're like, okay, yeah whatever. It's like name calling. Who's next? 1211 01:12:15.720 --> 01:12:18.359 Maureen is next? Marine? Welcome back to the Morning Show, Maureene. 1212 01:12:18.359 --> 01:12:19.239 Always good to hear from you. 1213 01:12:20.199 --> 01:12:23.239 Good morning, Brian. I wanted to turn in about what 1214 01:12:23.399 --> 01:12:26.560 you had in your opening about the truth social post 1215 01:12:26.640 --> 01:12:32.079 by President Trump Raredoni regarding Bondi, Bongino and Cash Betel. Yeah, 1216 01:12:32.159 --> 01:12:34.239 and it's all I agree with you that it is very, 1217 01:12:34.359 --> 01:12:37.239 very confusing. There are a couple theories out there, a 1218 01:12:37.319 --> 01:12:38.640 couple of things hit over the weekend. 1219 01:12:38.720 --> 01:12:41.119 Well me let me enlighten my listeners. I was cleaning 1220 01:12:41.159 --> 01:12:44.680 to Trump's comment about they meaning the Democrats created the 1221 01:12:44.800 --> 01:12:48.079 Epstein files, just like they created the fake Hillary Clinton 1222 01:12:48.119 --> 01:12:51.039 slash Christopher Steele dossier that they used on me, and 1223 01:12:51.079 --> 01:12:54.159 now my so called friends are playing right into their hands. 1224 01:12:54.279 --> 01:12:57.039 In other words, if you're asking for these documents, these 1225 01:12:57.239 --> 01:13:00.520 Epstein documents, to be released, you're playing into the Democrat hands, 1226 01:13:00.560 --> 01:13:04.000 which doesn't make a witzworth of sense to me, not 1227 01:13:04.119 --> 01:13:06.439 a bit, because Biden had all this information. If the 1228 01:13:06.479 --> 01:13:08.880 Democrats created them, obviously they would have created them for 1229 01:13:08.960 --> 01:13:11.960 the purposes of harming Trump or anybody else. They weren't 1230 01:13:12.119 --> 01:13:14.800 used to bring about harm to Trump. How is it 1231 01:13:14.920 --> 01:13:17.319 now that it's something that Democrats did? And we are 1232 01:13:17.359 --> 01:13:20.039 playing into their hands by wanting answers to these questions, 1233 01:13:20.079 --> 01:13:22.760 which suggested that there was a lot of information they 1234 01:13:22.760 --> 01:13:24.279 were sitting on that we were all going to get 1235 01:13:24.319 --> 01:13:24.720 to see. 1236 01:13:26.199 --> 01:13:28.800 Yeah, a couple of theories out there. One is that 1237 01:13:29.079 --> 01:13:32.000 Erosom's suspicion was that mac Gates was called back. He 1238 01:13:32.159 --> 01:13:35.560 was scheduled to do a Turning Point USA event here 1239 01:13:35.600 --> 01:13:39.279 in Tampa with Tucker Carl. He was called an emergency 1240 01:13:39.359 --> 01:13:42.800 meeting with President Trump. There's some thought that he may 1241 01:13:42.840 --> 01:13:47.399 be being brought in to replace Bondi and be the 1242 01:13:47.439 --> 01:13:50.479 attorney general, which was Trump's first choice to begin with. 1243 01:13:51.079 --> 01:13:54.279 And according to what I heard is that under Article two, 1244 01:13:54.840 --> 01:13:57.239 Section two and Class three of the Constitution, you can 1245 01:13:57.359 --> 01:14:01.680 be brought in during session in August when they're on recess. 1246 01:14:02.159 --> 01:14:06.720 But the tru BONDI though, I know, yes, I know, 1247 01:14:07.159 --> 01:14:08.960 I know, but she could resign on her own just 1248 01:14:09.039 --> 01:14:12.439 because of all this. But that's like the least one 1249 01:14:12.520 --> 01:14:14.720 that people suspect. The other one is that he's being 1250 01:14:14.880 --> 01:14:19.239 brought in as a special prosecutor for the election fraud information. 1251 01:14:20.000 --> 01:14:23.079 And coupled with that, John Solomon of Just the News 1252 01:14:23.319 --> 01:14:26.119 he released a video that went firal over the weekend too, 1253 01:14:26.800 --> 01:14:30.880 and he said that they're opening a large conspiracy case 1254 01:14:31.000 --> 01:14:34.520 to delve deeper into cross Fire Hurricane, and it's going 1255 01:14:34.640 --> 01:14:37.560 to be such a big event where all these things 1256 01:14:37.680 --> 01:14:41.640 are wrapped into a single conspiracy, which will also include 1257 01:14:42.319 --> 01:14:46.640 not only cross Fire Hurricane, but the dossiers oh gosh, 1258 01:14:46.720 --> 01:14:50.399 the Russia collisions. 1259 01:14:50.680 --> 01:14:55.319 Yeah, yes, well, and Trump did say, let Pambini do 1260 01:14:55.359 --> 01:14:57.640 her job. She's great. The twenty twenty election was rigged 1261 01:14:57.680 --> 01:14:59.039 and stolen and they tried to do the same in 1262 01:14:59.119 --> 01:15:01.560 twenty twenty four. That that's what she's looking into as 1263 01:15:01.680 --> 01:15:04.640 age and much more fine. I don't think there's any 1264 01:15:04.720 --> 01:15:06.760 question that they might be looking into that, but that 1265 01:15:06.840 --> 01:15:10.680 doesn't preclude them answering direct questions on the Epstein files, 1266 01:15:10.760 --> 01:15:13.479 which is still swirling with all these question marks because 1267 01:15:13.520 --> 01:15:16.159 of all the prior statements and allegations and accusation that 1268 01:15:16.239 --> 01:15:18.399 were made by people who are now saying there's nothing 1269 01:15:18.479 --> 01:15:19.039 to see there. 1270 01:15:19.600 --> 01:15:22.560 I mean, it's a well good according to what John 1271 01:15:22.680 --> 01:15:24.960 Solomon is saying, that this is supposed to drop within 1272 01:15:25.039 --> 01:15:27.960 the week to ten days, and then it will incorporate 1273 01:15:28.119 --> 01:15:32.000 all of those things and eventually lead into the voter 1274 01:15:32.119 --> 01:15:35.199 fraud and the Epstein files because they're all tied together 1275 01:15:35.760 --> 01:15:38.520 because of the money that was involved with the Epstein thing. 1276 01:15:38.680 --> 01:15:43.199 So Epstein's stuff will be included in a broader conspiracy 1277 01:15:43.359 --> 01:15:45.560 related to the twenty twenty Live. Okay, then it's a 1278 01:15:45.680 --> 01:15:49.479 terrible way of doing that. Why would you say there's 1279 01:15:49.640 --> 01:15:53.119 nothing here? There is no list, he did commit suicide. 1280 01:15:53.199 --> 01:15:54.760 We don't have anything to show you but a bunch 1281 01:15:54.800 --> 01:15:57.279 of videos that contain child pornography, which we're not going 1282 01:15:57.319 --> 01:15:59.960 to show you anyway. That's all there is. That doesn't 1283 01:16:00.119 --> 01:16:03.279 lend itself to then using this information in some our 1284 01:16:03.439 --> 01:16:06.079 broader conspiracy theory. Well wait, a second, you already said 1285 01:16:06.079 --> 01:16:08.239 there's nothing there. Why are you now incorporating it into 1286 01:16:08.279 --> 01:16:12.000 a broader investigation? That doesn't make any sense. Why didn't 1287 01:16:12.000 --> 01:16:13.520 they just say, well, we are going to give you 1288 01:16:13.600 --> 01:16:16.439 this information. Is not as quickly as we originally schedule 1289 01:16:16.479 --> 01:16:20.000 to bring it because it connects with a broader investigation 1290 01:16:20.159 --> 01:16:22.880 that's ongoing, and so we don't want to be premature 1291 01:16:22.920 --> 01:16:25.680 and releasing this information because it all is it's a 1292 01:16:25.720 --> 01:16:28.159 puzzle piece to a broader problem that we're facing here. 1293 01:16:28.840 --> 01:16:31.279 So I'm puzzled by this. It just seems to me, 1294 01:16:31.880 --> 01:16:33.640 and the idea that Trump will get all angry and 1295 01:16:33.760 --> 01:16:36.880 upset with a reporter asking a question about this, come on. 1296 01:16:37.079 --> 01:16:39.439 The foundation was laid for those types of questions to 1297 01:16:39.560 --> 01:16:42.159 be asked. We've been told by these same people over 1298 01:16:42.239 --> 01:16:45.000 and over again that there is a there there, that 1299 01:16:45.159 --> 01:16:49.239 there was child molestation. That's a crime, it's worthy of prosecution. 1300 01:16:49.439 --> 01:16:51.079 If you said it last year, how come you're not 1301 01:16:51.159 --> 01:16:55.159 saying it now. Yeah, it just I don't know. From 1302 01:16:55.159 --> 01:16:57.199 a strategic standpoint, it just doesn't seem like there's any 1303 01:16:57.199 --> 01:17:01.039 strategy here.

Welcome back to my friend. I hope 1336 01:18:26.239 --> 01:18:27.079 you had a wonderful weekend. 1337 01:18:28.319 --> 01:18:28.720 I did. 1338 01:18:28.880 --> 01:18:31.600 Thank you so much, Brian and I. I just want 1339 01:18:31.680 --> 01:18:34.920 to start off brother by addressing one of your callers, 1340 01:18:35.000 --> 01:18:37.239 but I don't want to. I don't want to stay there. 1341 01:18:37.479 --> 01:18:41.000 But you know, the notion that you are a racist 1342 01:18:41.840 --> 01:18:46.119 because you're white and you're talking about what's happening in 1343 01:18:46.199 --> 01:18:51.239 your city from a factual perspective is a way that 1344 01:18:51.399 --> 01:18:56.319 I think the left places these this mindset of deflection, 1345 01:18:56.920 --> 01:18:59.079 so they really don't want you to talk about it. 1346 01:18:59.159 --> 01:19:01.840 Because it makes them so are uncomfortable, so therefore they 1347 01:19:01.920 --> 01:19:06.079 start calling people racist. The reality of it is, we 1348 01:19:06.279 --> 01:19:10.800 have the super majority of people in Cincinnati that are 1349 01:19:10.920 --> 01:19:15.840 involved in gun violence are African Americans, period, and so 1350 01:19:16.239 --> 01:19:18.680 if you look at a list at the end of 1351 01:19:18.760 --> 01:19:22.720 the year of how many people are shy, the majority 1352 01:19:22.760 --> 01:19:26.640 of those people are African Americans. We elected a mayor 1353 01:19:26.880 --> 01:19:30.600 and a council to help assolve it, and they're obviously 1354 01:19:30.760 --> 01:19:34.199 not getting the job done. What's frustrating for me is 1355 01:19:34.399 --> 01:19:37.039 the election is in November, and I just have this 1356 01:19:37.199 --> 01:19:40.279 sense that the Democrats in the city will do the 1357 01:19:40.359 --> 01:19:42.720 same thing. They'll vote for the same people on council, 1358 01:19:42.960 --> 01:19:45.960 They'll vote for the same mayor and get the same results. 1359 01:19:46.920 --> 01:19:50.760 That is what baffles me. But to the caller, I'm 1360 01:19:50.840 --> 01:19:53.760 not a racist. You're not a racist if he's not 1361 01:19:53.880 --> 01:19:57.600 a racist for trying to talk about these issues and 1362 01:19:57.800 --> 01:20:02.359 to try to identify solutions. One of those solutions is 1363 01:20:02.479 --> 01:20:06.119 to move away, and city council has not done this, 1364 01:20:06.720 --> 01:20:09.680 and the mayor has not done this is move away 1365 01:20:09.760 --> 01:20:14.079 from the defund the police mentality or reimagine the police 1366 01:20:14.640 --> 01:20:18.319 so our officers do not feel supported. What are ways 1367 01:20:18.359 --> 01:20:20.439 the mayor could do. What can he do to make 1368 01:20:21.439 --> 01:20:25.000 the police officers in Cincinnati, Brian Thomas feel supported. Go 1369 01:20:25.119 --> 01:20:29.119 to roll calls, do ride alongs, do a press conference 1370 01:20:29.159 --> 01:20:33.159 with your chief, Say I support the police. I support 1371 01:20:33.239 --> 01:20:36.319 them doing proactive policing. I'm going to put them in 1372 01:20:36.479 --> 01:20:39.600 visible positions between the time of nine and three or 1373 01:20:39.640 --> 01:20:43.000 four o'clock in the morning. We're using our police visibility 1374 01:20:43.119 --> 01:20:46.159 over time in our hot spots, starting with our core 1375 01:20:46.359 --> 01:20:50.159 of downtown. And I want every officer to know that 1376 01:20:50.399 --> 01:20:55.920 I support them. This mayor, this collective council will never 1377 01:20:56.000 --> 01:20:58.520 say that, Brian Thomas, that is the problem. 1378 01:21:00.920 --> 01:21:04.039 Well so far they haven't, So it's a reasonable conclusion 1379 01:21:04.079 --> 01:21:06.760 for you to reach. And you know, I guess the 1380 01:21:06.840 --> 01:21:11.359 other component is if they're not calling you racist, they're 1381 01:21:11.359 --> 01:21:13.039 gonna say, yeah, a lot of the violences in the 1382 01:21:13.079 --> 01:21:15.119 black community, a lot of the gun violence is directed 1383 01:21:15.159 --> 01:21:19.239 a fellow black members of the black community. It's because 1384 01:21:19.479 --> 01:21:22.840 of the systemic problem we have. It's a systemic breakdown. 1385 01:21:23.199 --> 01:21:26.439 We've been underserved. It's a racist ideology that has led 1386 01:21:26.520 --> 01:21:29.239 our neighborhoods to this sorry state. And I just have 1387 01:21:29.359 --> 01:21:31.159 to kind of think about that and go, wait a second, 1388 01:21:32.039 --> 01:21:35.119 you've been neglected. Your elected officials have let you down. 1389 01:21:35.359 --> 01:21:37.439 Going to your point, Christopher, we'll quit voting for the 1390 01:21:37.520 --> 01:21:39.560 same people over and over again as you have been 1391 01:21:39.640 --> 01:21:42.600 doing for the last forty plus years. If you think 1392 01:21:42.600 --> 01:21:46.920 you're underserved, try a different path. But by being underserved, 1393 01:21:46.960 --> 01:21:50.239 if you just assume that as a fact, why would 1394 01:21:50.319 --> 01:21:54.279 that cause members within that community to start shooting each other? 1395 01:21:55.640 --> 01:21:59.920 What possible justification can being down on the socioeconomic scale 1396 01:22:00.079 --> 01:22:02.359 have to do with you going around and firing a 1397 01:22:02.479 --> 01:22:06.000 gun into a crowd full of people? Willy nilly? How 1398 01:22:06.119 --> 01:22:07.159 is the connection there? 1399 01:22:08.880 --> 01:22:11.520 And the other thing is, why would the mayor and 1400 01:22:11.680 --> 01:22:16.399 the council tell you that downtown is safe? Come on 1401 01:22:16.600 --> 01:22:20.319 down when every time I listen to your show in 1402 01:22:20.439 --> 01:22:27.680 the morning, I hear gunshot OTR Main Street, wherever the banks, 1403 01:22:28.319 --> 01:22:31.239 And then the mayor says, it's almost like it reminds 1404 01:22:31.319 --> 01:22:34.399 me of this. This this don't believe what you're hearing, 1405 01:22:35.000 --> 01:22:38.600 don't believe what you're seeing. The reality of it is, 1406 01:22:39.439 --> 01:22:41.880 i am the former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, 1407 01:22:42.000 --> 01:22:46.640 and I'm uncomfortable going into my core downtown. The main 1408 01:22:46.800 --> 01:22:50.319 reason is I've lost confidence in the mayor, and I've 1409 01:22:50.399 --> 01:22:56.239 lost confidence collectively in the city council. So why would 1410 01:22:56.279 --> 01:22:59.680 I tell my daughter, who I love, it's okay for 1411 01:22:59.760 --> 01:23:02.079 you your friends to go downtown when they can go 1412 01:23:02.359 --> 01:23:07.760 somewhere else and be safe where there aren't the shootings. 1413 01:23:07.800 --> 01:23:10.560 You can go to Montgomery, you can go to Kinwood, wherever. 1414 01:23:11.359 --> 01:23:14.840 You can go somewhere else where you're not gonna get shot. 1415 01:23:15.720 --> 01:23:19.199 That's the problem. And until the mayor and the council, 1416 01:23:19.239 --> 01:23:23.000 who are on summer break, take this gun violence series 1417 01:23:23.119 --> 01:23:26.359 other than just holding a press conference and saying, listen, 1418 01:23:27.279 --> 01:23:31.159 this is just your perception. Really, gun violence is down 1419 01:23:31.199 --> 01:23:33.680 and we're okay, nothing's going to change. 1420 01:23:35.159 --> 01:23:38.439 A man, let's bring Christopher back for another segment or 1421 01:23:38.479 --> 01:23:40.520 two as the case, maybe seven twenty five. Right now 1422 01:23:40.520 --> 01:23:43.239 if you have KSIT talk station. Of course, conversation like 1423 01:23:43.279 --> 01:23:45.760 this invites the opportunity for someone to think, you know what, 1424 01:23:45.920 --> 01:23:48.720 I need to reflect on life, the value of life, 1425 01:23:48.760 --> 01:23:51.760 this sacredness of life. And there's a place you can 1426 01:23:51.840 --> 01:23:53.720 do that, and a place that invites you to do that. 1427 01:23:53.800 --> 01:23:57.720 That's Gate of Having Catholic Cemetery of Montgomery life honored 1428 01:23:57.760 --> 01:24:00.439 and celebrated every phase of Gate of Heaven, whether it's birth, 1429 01:24:00.520 --> 01:24:03.119 life milestones or passing into eternal life. Gate of Heaven 1430 01:24:03.159 --> 01:24:06.399 recognizes and revers the sacredness of every phase of the 1431 01:24:06.520 --> 01:24:09.560 human journey. I mean, some folks might get engaged in 1432 01:24:09.680 --> 01:24:12.039 some prayer and some thoughts about that, and it's a 1433 01:24:12.079 --> 01:24:16.279 perfect place to do.

My friend? 1442 01:24:42.319 --> 01:24:46.720 Look, I just want to debunk this narrative that I 1443 01:24:46.880 --> 01:24:52.720 keep hearing say said over and over and over again. Bye. Really, 1444 01:24:52.800 --> 01:24:58.760 the Democratic Party are their representatives, and that is and 1445 01:24:58.880 --> 01:25:05.439 this is important that ICE agents are targeting immigrants here 1446 01:25:06.920 --> 01:25:11.560 in a very kind of random way. That is not 1447 01:25:11.720 --> 01:25:16.880 what is happening. ICE agents are targeting people who have 1448 01:25:17.000 --> 01:25:20.640 come into our country illegally, who are criminals, that last 1449 01:25:20.760 --> 01:25:26.279 word criminals. The target on those who are potential rapists, 1450 01:25:26.439 --> 01:25:31.960 or they have engaged in rape in their own countries, murder, robbery, mayhem, 1451 01:25:32.119 --> 01:25:36.119 whatever you want to gang members, those have been the 1452 01:25:36.279 --> 01:25:40.600 targets of ICE. But if they go into an apartment 1453 01:25:41.680 --> 01:25:44.720 and there are ten people there, and let's just say 1454 01:25:45.479 --> 01:25:48.640 three of them are women who are girlfriends of MS 1455 01:25:48.760 --> 01:25:52.880 thirteen gang members, they're all here illegally, and they're all 1456 01:25:53.000 --> 01:25:57.600 being deported. But there's notion and if you're hanging with 1457 01:25:57.760 --> 01:26:03.359 gang members, if you're if your girlfriend, if you're the 1458 01:26:03.439 --> 01:26:06.960 girlfriend of an MS thirteen gang member, and you're in 1459 01:26:07.439 --> 01:26:10.680 our country illegally, I don't have any problem with you 1460 01:26:10.800 --> 01:26:16.760 being deported for this notion that liberal Democrats keep promoting 1461 01:26:17.720 --> 01:26:23.239 that ICE agents are here targeting, whether it's Cincinnati, Hamilton County, 1462 01:26:23.720 --> 01:26:26.720 whether it's parts of Kentucky, or whether it's in Texas. 1463 01:26:27.560 --> 01:26:32.199 People that are getting up every day going to work 1464 01:26:32.479 --> 01:26:37.119 is just absolutely alive. And it just infuriates me how 1465 01:26:37.159 --> 01:26:39.880 the Democrats keep pushing that narrative. And I just want 1466 01:26:39.920 --> 01:26:43.479 to push back this morning saying listen, I got a daughter, 1467 01:26:43.720 --> 01:26:47.800 I'm a girl dad, you're a girl dad. I don't 1468 01:26:47.880 --> 01:26:51.720 want it to be my scene where my daughter is 1469 01:26:51.760 --> 01:26:55.239 out taking a dog on a college campus and one 1470 01:26:55.319 --> 01:26:59.640 of these MS thirteen gang members targets her, drags her 1471 01:26:59.720 --> 01:27:04.359 into would rates her and murders her. We can be 1472 01:27:04.800 --> 01:27:08.119 this is what we call pro active policing. What ICE 1473 01:27:08.239 --> 01:27:11.720 is doing. These are people that came into the country illegally. 1474 01:27:12.000 --> 01:27:16.239 You broke the law. You broke the law. However, you're 1475 01:27:16.279 --> 01:27:21.000 a gang member, you're someone who murdered somebody, you rate somebody. 1476 01:27:21.159 --> 01:27:23.920 I don't want you here. I don't understand why the 1477 01:27:24.000 --> 01:27:28.319 Democrats are fighting so hard, Ryan Thomas, to keep people 1478 01:27:28.640 --> 01:27:30.119 like this in our country. 1479 01:27:30.800 --> 01:27:33.319 Well, and it's a losing battle for them. I mean 1480 01:27:33.399 --> 01:27:36.640 I brought this up this morning on that that left 1481 01:27:36.680 --> 01:27:39.640 wing you know, a Democrat polster that did the poll 1482 01:27:39.680 --> 01:27:42.880 talking about how the Democrats, even their own are not 1483 01:27:42.960 --> 01:27:46.479 happy with their own party. Dissatisfaction rate is through the roof, 1484 01:27:46.560 --> 01:27:48.960 and they don't have any policies that resonate with the 1485 01:27:49.000 --> 01:27:51.920 American people. In terms of immigration and enforcement of the 1486 01:27:52.000 --> 01:27:54.680 immigration policy. Trump ran on and he promised to do it. 1487 01:27:54.960 --> 01:27:56.920 His big thing from day one has been, you know, 1488 01:27:57.000 --> 01:27:59.640 build a big border wall and stop the flow, uh flow, 1489 01:27:59.640 --> 01:28:02.880 of ill immigration that resonated with the country. He won 1490 01:28:03.000 --> 01:28:05.319 the popular vote, he won the electoral college, and he's 1491 01:28:05.359 --> 01:28:08.920 fulfilling his promise. And still poll after poll after poll 1492 01:28:09.039 --> 01:28:13.239 shows that most Americans want to deport all illegal immigrants, 1493 01:28:13.319 --> 01:28:15.600 not just the criminal element among them. So the Democrats 1494 01:28:15.640 --> 01:28:19.239 can stream and scream and resist and go after ICE agents. 1495 01:28:19.279 --> 01:28:22.079 I think at all in yours to the Republican Party's benefit, 1496 01:28:22.680 --> 01:28:24.680 because that's not what the American people want, because most 1497 01:28:24.720 --> 01:28:27.279 people think, like you, Christopher, there but for the grace 1498 01:28:27.319 --> 01:28:30.399 of God, go I and my daughter getting raped and murdered. 1499 01:28:32.600 --> 01:28:38.239 It's all driving a car drunk DUI and you kill 1500 01:28:38.640 --> 01:28:45.159 an American family. You're in the country illegally, you're driving drunk, 1501 01:28:45.680 --> 01:28:50.720 and you kill our American family. I just don't understand 1502 01:28:50.760 --> 01:28:54.239 where Democrats are coming from, why this is such a problem. 1503 01:28:54.640 --> 01:28:59.439 And you now see on TV my icy someone shooting 1504 01:28:59.520 --> 01:29:05.439 at ICE agents over the weekend as they are identifying miners. 1505 01:29:06.159 --> 01:29:08.000 I'm going to get into the adults. Oh yeah, but 1506 01:29:08.279 --> 01:29:12.640 miners who are working on the farms. As an American, 1507 01:29:13.399 --> 01:29:18.840 we do not value working twelve and thirteen year olds 1508 01:29:18.920 --> 01:29:22.880 and fourteen year olds in a field. It's illegal to 1509 01:29:23.039 --> 01:29:26.920 do it, And so why would Democrats who say they 1510 01:29:27.079 --> 01:29:30.479 love children, they want to protect kids. All these children 1511 01:29:30.520 --> 01:29:33.760 who've been separated when they came into the country illegally. 1512 01:29:34.199 --> 01:29:37.159 Now we're finding some of them, and we're finding them 1513 01:29:37.319 --> 01:29:41.920 in environments on farms where they are being worked, which 1514 01:29:42.000 --> 01:29:44.319 is absolutely illegal. 1515 01:29:44.119 --> 01:29:45.520 Exploited and exploited. 1516 01:29:46.439 --> 01:29:46.640 Yeah. 1517 01:29:46.720 --> 01:29:48.960 I mean, there's children that were found by the ICE 1518 01:29:49.000 --> 01:29:51.359 agents are probably in a much better situation having been 1519 01:29:51.439 --> 01:29:53.800 found by the ICE agents than they were as basically 1520 01:29:53.920 --> 01:29:55.760 slave labor on the marijuana camp. 1521 01:30:01.000 --> 01:30:05.319 We haven't heard Brian Thomas, one of the Democrats, say 1522 01:30:05.399 --> 01:30:09.800 that was wrong. Not one when the guy is literally 1523 01:30:09.920 --> 01:30:12.680 on the video shooting at the ICE agents. No one 1524 01:30:12.800 --> 01:30:15.399 said there's a fifty thousand dollars reward to find out 1525 01:30:15.479 --> 01:30:20.000 who that is. No one said we denounced that. I'm 1526 01:30:20.079 --> 01:30:22.880 trying to figure out, Brian Thomas, like you are, what 1527 01:30:23.119 --> 01:30:26.159 is going on with the Democrats and why are they 1528 01:30:26.359 --> 01:30:30.279 so silent and hell bent on keeping people who are 1529 01:30:30.479 --> 01:30:34.239 criminals in the United States of America. And I'm not 1530 01:30:34.319 --> 01:30:36.800 even getting into the politics that they say. I agree 1531 01:30:36.840 --> 01:30:40.039 with you, it's a very bad politics. I'm saying the 1532 01:30:40.199 --> 01:30:44.079 practicality of you and I who are girl dads. These 1533 01:30:44.159 --> 01:30:49.119 are people who are praying on our American women. Clearly 1534 01:30:49.239 --> 01:30:53.000 they are, and they're killing them and raping them and 1535 01:30:53.239 --> 01:30:56.199 robbing them. Why would we want them in the United 1536 01:30:56.199 --> 01:30:59.359 States of America And why would the Democratic Party push 1537 01:30:59.439 --> 01:31:01.720 that kind of an agenda. Now, part of this is 1538 01:31:02.079 --> 01:31:05.600 if you look at MSNBC and you watch CNN, they're 1539 01:31:05.720 --> 01:31:09.359 telling you the opposite. They're saying they're deporting everybody. You 1540 01:31:09.479 --> 01:31:11.279 just show up to work and they grab you off 1541 01:31:11.319 --> 01:31:14.479 the street. That's how they're presenting it on their on 1542 01:31:14.600 --> 01:31:18.760 their media platforms. But that is absolutely not the truth. 1543 01:31:19.000 --> 01:31:22.439 And there might be someone who's listening to this who says, wow, 1544 01:31:22.479 --> 01:31:26.880 I didn't realize that ICE is targeting their first group 1545 01:31:26.960 --> 01:31:29.359 of people. They're trying to put all their time and 1546 01:31:29.600 --> 01:31:32.359 energy and getting out the criminals. That's it. 1547 01:31:33.119 --> 01:31:37.119 Yeah, you're right. And the only I mean that only 1548 01:31:37.239 --> 01:31:41.239 that the defenseless you know, mom, worker or whatever, who 1549 01:31:41.319 --> 01:31:43.800 got caught up in the entrapment because of they were 1550 01:31:43.800 --> 01:31:46.760 going after criminals. That's the only thing that could possibly 1551 01:31:46.840 --> 01:31:49.319 resonate with the American people is well, that's not really fair. 1552 01:31:49.399 --> 01:31:51.720 That poor woman's been here for twelve fifteen years and 1553 01:31:51.840 --> 01:31:53.880 she didn't do anything right. But if you peel back 1554 01:31:53.920 --> 01:31:57.239 the veneer of that, you see quite often it's a circumstance, 1555 01:31:57.319 --> 01:31:59.119 like you're talking about where well she happened to be 1556 01:31:59.199 --> 01:32:03.000 an MS third team gang member's girlfriend. Let's bring Christopher 1557 01:32:03.039 --> 01:32:04.600 back because I think I might have the answer to 1558 01:32:04.680 --> 01:32:07.199 the question of why they fight so hard to keep 1559 01:32:07.239 --> 01:32:09.079 this all of the criminals as well as every other 1560 01:32:09.119 --> 01:32:11.399 illegal immigrant in the country. Pausible bring Christopher back for 1561 01:32:11.399 --> 01:32:14.439 another one. It's seven thirty six right now, fifty five 1562 01:32:14.479 --> 01:32:18.279 KCD talk station.

I think part of 1588 01:33:32.319 --> 01:33:33.720 this has to do with the fact that if you 1589 01:33:33.760 --> 01:33:35.880 look at the Blue States, you know your New York's, 1590 01:33:35.880 --> 01:33:37.399 you're Illinois, You're California's. 1591 01:33:37.760 --> 01:33:37.840 Uh. 1592 01:33:37.960 --> 01:33:40.439 We all learned what happened after COVID. Everybody who could 1593 01:33:40.520 --> 01:33:43.439 get out got out. Their population numbers left. There are 1594 01:33:43.479 --> 01:33:45.640 numbers of people who make a lot of money left 1595 01:33:45.680 --> 01:33:48.079 the state for places with lower taxes and a veteran 1596 01:33:48.479 --> 01:33:52.359 regulatory environment. So they're hemorrhaging people who actually make money. 1597 01:33:52.359 --> 01:33:54.439 They got to keep their economy going. And the other 1598 01:33:54.479 --> 01:33:56.600 thing is they want to keep control of the UH. 1599 01:33:56.760 --> 01:33:59.000 They want to gain control of the House of Representatives. 1600 01:33:59.239 --> 01:34:03.159 That's a popularation driven thing, Christopher. And if you substitute 1601 01:34:03.199 --> 01:34:07.359 the US citizenry with a bunch of illegal immigrants, you 1602 01:34:07.439 --> 01:34:10.000 can maintain your numbers for the purpose of the census 1603 01:34:10.079 --> 01:34:12.239 and the number of representatives you have in the House. 1604 01:34:12.279 --> 01:34:14.600 And that's one of the things that they're desperately trying 1605 01:34:14.600 --> 01:34:16.439 to do. And I think that's part of the how. 1606 01:34:16.880 --> 01:34:19.560 I believe that the Texas governor and the Florida governor 1607 01:34:19.640 --> 01:34:22.760 kind of played into their hands a little bit because 1608 01:34:22.800 --> 01:34:26.239 they declared themselves New York, California, et cetera, a sanctuary 1609 01:34:26.359 --> 01:34:30.079 states or cities, which was an invitation for illegal immigrants 1610 01:34:30.159 --> 01:34:32.479 come here, and we won't harass you or arrest you 1611 01:34:32.600 --> 01:34:34.279 or otherwise try to kick you out. We will not 1612 01:34:34.399 --> 01:34:37.640 cooperate with federal authorities. That's an invitation to come in. 1613 01:34:38.199 --> 01:34:40.640 And of course the governors of Texas and Florida played 1614 01:34:40.680 --> 01:34:45.000 into that by busting the illegal immigrant population to those destinations, 1615 01:34:45.439 --> 01:34:49.319 so they effectively boosted their population numbers pretty significantly with 1616 01:34:49.359 --> 01:34:52.000 the illegal immigrants, which may very well allow them to 1617 01:34:52.079 --> 01:34:54.960 keep the number of representatives they have in the House. 1618 01:34:55.159 --> 01:34:55.640 Just a thought. 1619 01:34:57.000 --> 01:34:58.960 Well, at first, I agree with you. First of all, 1620 01:34:58.960 --> 01:35:02.680 I agree that if it cannspiracy and part of that conspiracy, 1621 01:35:03.760 --> 01:35:06.600 what are the legs to the conspiracy? Is no ID, 1622 01:35:07.079 --> 01:35:09.439 you don't have to have an idea to vote. And 1623 01:35:09.760 --> 01:35:13.239 the way the Democrats tried to pimp it out is 1624 01:35:13.359 --> 01:35:17.600 to suggest that African Americans were not able to get 1625 01:35:17.680 --> 01:35:22.760 identification to vote. The target wasn't African Americans. The target 1626 01:35:22.880 --> 01:35:26.199 were the illegal people in the country who they wanted 1627 01:35:26.239 --> 01:35:31.319 to vote. But they had to offend African Americans by saying, hey, listen, 1628 01:35:32.279 --> 01:35:35.159 so many African Americans can't get a state ID, so 1629 01:35:35.239 --> 01:35:38.319 many African Americans can't get a driver's license, there's no 1630 01:35:38.439 --> 01:35:41.439 way they can identify themselves when they show up and 1631 01:35:41.680 --> 01:35:45.319 vote as Americans, which I am an American in this country. 1632 01:35:45.800 --> 01:35:49.720 But the real conspiracy was to have that blanket conversation 1633 01:35:49.960 --> 01:35:53.119 so those people who were in the country illegally did 1634 01:35:53.239 --> 01:35:55.600 not have a requirement for identification. 1635 01:35:55.920 --> 01:35:58.359 I agree with you, I think you're onto something. So 1636 01:35:58.600 --> 01:36:02.159 multiple layers of of why they would fight to keep 1637 01:36:02.199 --> 01:36:03.960 all the illegal immigrants in the country. 1638 01:36:06.439 --> 01:36:09.960 No, No, it's absolutely true. And as we get to 1639 01:36:10.079 --> 01:36:14.479 a close, you know, I try to have public conversations 1640 01:36:14.560 --> 01:36:20.439 with you, Brian, my white brother, about racism, and it's 1641 01:36:20.640 --> 01:36:23.520 very complicated. But what I will say to you is 1642 01:36:23.600 --> 01:36:28.000 that there are people who try to weaponize racism. First 1643 01:36:28.000 --> 01:36:31.760 of all, racism is real, just like sexism is real. 1644 01:36:31.880 --> 01:36:33.760 It happens in this country, sure, but. 1645 01:36:33.880 --> 01:36:38.720 There are people, there are people who use that as 1646 01:36:38.800 --> 01:36:43.119 a deflection. Okay, So somebody like an Al Sharpton who 1647 01:36:43.239 --> 01:36:47.840 says nothing about the African Americans who are killing each 1648 01:36:47.880 --> 01:36:52.399 other in these major cities, whether it's Chicago, whether it's 1649 01:36:52.640 --> 01:36:55.920 La whether it's New York, right where he lives, you 1650 01:36:56.119 --> 01:37:00.319 hear nothing from his voice. He lives no political capital 1651 01:37:00.680 --> 01:37:05.079 for that bloodshed. But once a white officer takes the 1652 01:37:05.199 --> 01:37:08.479 life of an African American who's a juvenile with a 1653 01:37:08.600 --> 01:37:11.880 gun in a major city all sharp and will fly 1654 01:37:12.079 --> 01:37:16.760 anywhere to have that discussion, that's somebody who is, in 1655 01:37:16.880 --> 01:37:21.000 my opinion, off course, and who is not helping solve 1656 01:37:21.119 --> 01:37:24.600 these very serious problems that we're facing. And it doesn't 1657 01:37:24.680 --> 01:37:28.960 make a person a racist for articulating that that is 1658 01:37:29.079 --> 01:37:32.039 what is going on. You and I are not dumb 1659 01:37:32.560 --> 01:37:36.239 as my white brother, me as your black brother, trying 1660 01:37:36.279 --> 01:37:39.880 to solve these big issues that are happening. But let's 1661 01:37:40.000 --> 01:37:42.079 not say. You know, I'll never get on your show 1662 01:37:42.159 --> 01:37:45.720 and say, well, man, I've never experienced racism or my 1663 01:37:45.880 --> 01:37:49.359 kids habits or my parents have it. But they're jerks 1664 01:37:49.399 --> 01:37:51.800 all over the place. They're people that are nuts all 1665 01:37:51.840 --> 01:37:54.880 over the place. But the reality of but the reality 1666 01:37:54.960 --> 01:37:57.600 of it is, is that what you and I are 1667 01:37:57.680 --> 01:38:03.680 talking about, this uncontrolled epidemic of a violence, violence that's 1668 01:38:03.720 --> 01:38:06.760 happening in our urban core, specifically where you and I live. 1669 01:38:07.560 --> 01:38:11.880 We have a Newter mayor and a Newter council. They 1670 01:38:12.079 --> 01:38:16.880 don't have the solution. And until we elect people that 1671 01:38:17.199 --> 01:38:21.279 absolutely care are willing to roll up their sleeves, willing 1672 01:38:21.359 --> 01:38:25.119 to do what it takes. And it starts with empowering 1673 01:38:25.359 --> 01:38:28.680 our police to do the great job that they've been 1674 01:38:28.800 --> 01:38:32.039 trained to do and back them up. Every Monday morning. 1675 01:38:32.439 --> 01:38:35.520 They're going to be errors out here. You pull up 1676 01:38:35.560 --> 01:38:39.199 to a car their tenant windows, you don't know what 1677 01:38:39.319 --> 01:38:41.239 the hell is going on in the car. You ask 1678 01:38:41.399 --> 01:38:45.399 the citizen please roll down your window. I need to 1679 01:38:45.439 --> 01:38:48.720 see what's happening in the front and the backseat, because 1680 01:38:48.760 --> 01:38:52.079 somebody can have a gun pointed at the officer and 1681 01:38:52.239 --> 01:38:55.079 they don't do it, they don't comply. What do you 1682 01:38:55.159 --> 01:38:57.560 think is going to happen on that dark road? Do 1683 01:38:57.640 --> 01:39:00.680 you think the officer is going to die? He's not 1684 01:39:00.760 --> 01:39:02.640 going to go back to his wife, or she's not 1685 01:39:02.760 --> 01:39:05.199 going to go back to her husband. We're living in 1686 01:39:05.279 --> 01:39:08.840 this La Lau land with Democrats who continue and it's 1687 01:39:08.920 --> 01:39:13.159 so dangerous, Brian Thomas. It's so dangerous because it's undermining 1688 01:39:13.279 --> 01:39:18.880 our society. A society that refuses to support and respect 1689 01:39:19.000 --> 01:39:23.760 law enforcement is a lawless society. And we have Democrats 1690 01:39:23.800 --> 01:39:26.880 out here, whether it's Ice, whether it's peace officers, who 1691 01:39:27.000 --> 01:39:30.840 continue to push that narrative. It is very very Unamerican, 1692 01:39:31.119 --> 01:39:33.279 and it is a big problem in our country. 1693 01:39:33.560 --> 01:39:35.439 Yeah, and I'll go back there to the point I 1694 01:39:35.520 --> 01:39:37.880 made earlier, Christopher. You know, even if we have a 1695 01:39:38.000 --> 01:39:41.520 systemically racist society, which is what some of the you know, 1696 01:39:41.600 --> 01:39:44.319 like the sharpons of LAURLD want to say, that's the problem, 1697 01:39:44.399 --> 01:39:46.439 that's the just that's the reason there's so much gun 1698 01:39:46.520 --> 01:39:49.479 violence in the black communities. I can't say how do 1699 01:39:49.560 --> 01:39:53.560 you draw a line that connects those two? What injustice 1700 01:39:53.880 --> 01:39:56.880 justifies you going out and like firing a glock with 1701 01:39:56.960 --> 01:39:59.680 an extended magazine into a group full of your own 1702 01:39:59.720 --> 01:40:03.239 peace people? How do you connect the dots on that 1703 01:40:04.920 --> 01:40:11.479 you don't random indiscriminate violence, deadly random indiscriminate gunfire. 1704 01:40:12.720 --> 01:40:13.000 It is. 1705 01:40:13.319 --> 01:40:16.880 And let me also, I guarantee you that Al Sharpton 1706 01:40:17.000 --> 01:40:20.560 and people like him all have bodyguards. Oh guarantee it. 1707 01:40:21.560 --> 01:40:24.800 I guarantee that they are always under guard, whether it's 1708 01:40:24.840 --> 01:40:27.439 the personal home, whether it's when they walk out and 1709 01:40:27.520 --> 01:40:30.399 get in their vehicle and they go somewhere, they're surrounded 1710 01:40:30.479 --> 01:40:31.560 by people with guns. 1711 01:40:32.039 --> 01:40:34.119 They're not you and I out here every. 1712 01:40:34.039 --> 01:40:36.239 Day just trying to go to a ball game or 1713 01:40:36.319 --> 01:40:38.840 go down to the banks and have a beer. And 1714 01:40:38.960 --> 01:40:42.760 we don't want people just spraying bullets into the crowds 1715 01:40:42.960 --> 01:40:45.880 in an indiscriminate way. And the other thing is we're 1716 01:40:45.960 --> 01:40:49.560 not even hearing about the assault, meaning we're focused on 1717 01:40:49.680 --> 01:40:52.520 the shootings. We're focused on the murder. Yes, there's another 1718 01:40:52.680 --> 01:40:56.119 level down. That's the couple that's just walking down the street, 1719 01:40:56.239 --> 01:40:59.680 comes out of the restaurant and they're jumped yeah, Yeah, 1720 01:41:00.119 --> 01:41:01.680 that's also happening, Brian Thomas. 1721 01:41:01.720 --> 01:41:04.039 It is happening. It's happening a lot. And that's one 1722 01:41:04.079 --> 01:41:07.079 statistic I think that everyone can uniformally agree has gone 1723 01:41:07.319 --> 01:41:08.079 up a lot. 1724 01:41:08.800 --> 01:41:09.479 Yes, which is. 1725 01:41:09.479 --> 01:41:12.680 Free that it has. But you're not a racist. The 1726 01:41:12.880 --> 01:41:16.840 caller who called in isn't a racist for talking about 1727 01:41:17.359 --> 01:41:21.239 these issues and then asserting and talking about what they 1728 01:41:21.319 --> 01:41:24.800 think the solutions are. Meaning one of them is broken homes. 1729 01:41:25.079 --> 01:41:29.359 Obviously parents, dad being involved. So we've got to do 1730 01:41:29.439 --> 01:41:32.159 a better job in that area. That's obviously one of 1731 01:41:32.560 --> 01:41:36.960 the solutions. Police officers and supporting cops, that's obviously one 1732 01:41:37.039 --> 01:41:40.119 of our solutions. But the reality of it is you 1733 01:41:40.239 --> 01:41:44.000 and I talking about it and highlighting it doesn't make 1734 01:41:44.399 --> 01:41:47.279 me and Uncle Tom, and it certainly doesn't make you 1735 01:41:47.359 --> 01:41:47.720 a race. 1736 01:41:48.079 --> 01:41:52.000 I appreciate that just confirming everything I personally believe too. 1737 01:41:52.039 --> 01:41:53.680 I'm happy to get on and talk about it because 1738 01:41:53.680 --> 01:41:56.720 I know I'm not a racist. God bless you, Christopher Smith, 1739 01:41:56.800 --> 01:41:58.680 and look forward to next Monday at another event.

Seven fifty four here if clad NC talk stations, 1768 01:43:13.560 --> 01:43:15.960 very Happy Mondays here it being Monday Money Monday with 1769 01:43:16.000 --> 01:43:18.119 Brian James will be on the next segment, talk about 1770 01:43:18.159 --> 01:43:21.319 a variety of different topics, including an economists seeing a 1771 01:43:21.479 --> 01:43:28.159 lower recession risk, a stronger job growth, forecasters nudget up growth, 1772 01:43:28.159 --> 01:43:32.359 trimming inflation estimates as tariffs prove lower less costly than expected. 1773 01:43:32.439 --> 01:43:35.000 In April, Yeah, we've got this pesky tariffs entering in 1774 01:43:35.039 --> 01:43:37.119 the equation again with Donald Trump is seeing some additional 1775 01:43:37.159 --> 01:43:39.760 tariffs and lord knows how it's going to impact us. 1776 01:43:39.800 --> 01:43:42.319 I sort of feel like it hasn't really impacted us much. 1777 01:43:42.359 --> 01:43:44.680 I know there's some business out there, some business understaying 1778 01:43:44.720 --> 01:43:46.439 you talk, what are you talking about? It's killing me? 1779 01:43:47.760 --> 01:43:51.439 But more broadly, the gloom and doom projections that people 1780 01:43:51.439 --> 01:43:54.000 were screaming and whaling and gnashing teeth over just doesn't 1781 01:43:54.000 --> 01:43:55.920 seem to have manifested itself. Maybe we give Brian a 1782 01:43:55.960 --> 01:43:58.439 comment on that and what the tariffs might mean for 1783 01:43:58.560 --> 01:44:01.680 us going forward anyway, Will we get an interest rate cut. 1784 01:44:01.800 --> 01:44:04.760 That of course the dominant topic of conversation with Brian, 1785 01:44:05.319 --> 01:44:08.039 because we could all use some interest rate relief, most 1786 01:44:08.079 --> 01:44:12.199 notably those that are interested in buying a house. Anyway, 1787 01:44:12.279 --> 01:44:14.359 we'll get to that, and then we'll hear from Tex Fisher, 1788 01:44:14.439 --> 01:44:16.600 State Representative Fisher from here in the state of Ohio 1789 01:44:16.760 --> 01:44:21.560 on protecting your ability to have access to weed. Yes, marijuana, 1790 01:44:21.680 --> 01:44:23.159 and they're trying to change the law to make it 1791 01:44:23.199 --> 01:44:24.960 a little more difficult to get it and limit the 1792 01:44:25.039 --> 01:44:28.079 number of plants you can grow and put THHC limits 1793 01:44:28.119 --> 01:44:31.119 and that kind of thing. Tex Fisher says, no, he 1794 01:44:31.279 --> 01:44:33.840 is a Republican and he said, listen, the citizens of 1795 01:44:33.880 --> 01:44:36.760 the state of Ohio voted for this in overwhelming numbers. 1796 01:44:37.680 --> 01:44:40.560 Let it go, Let it sit. So text Fisher at 1797 01:44:40.720 --> 01:44:43.000 eight forty to talk about that. Who can stick around 1798 01:44:43.079 --> 01:44:44.319 me right back after the news. 1799 01:44:44.439 --> 01:44:47.239 Dot com, I gotta get in reel to calm down. 1800 01:44:47.319 --> 01:44:49.479 Now the latest news. We're on the verge of a 1801 01:44:49.600 --> 01:44:51.880 real piece in the Middle East, and your latest ognions. 1802 01:44:51.960 --> 01:44:53.359 I trust what President Trump is doing. 1803 01:44:53.520 --> 01:45:00.600 Fifty five the talk station Stato five care c DE 1804 01:45:00.720 --> 01:45:03.000 talk station. It being Monday, it's that time of week. 1805 01:45:03.680 --> 01:45:06.840 Good to hear I'm from all Worth Financials, Brian James, 1806 01:45:06.920 --> 01:45:09.239 financial planner. He is talking about money matters. It is 1807 01:45:09.399 --> 01:45:12.000 money Monday time, Brian James, welcome back to the morning show. 1808 01:45:12.039 --> 01:45:13.119 Great to hear from you, my friend. 1809 01:45:13.560 --> 01:45:15.720 Absolutely good to hear your voice too. It's a rainy 1810 01:45:15.840 --> 01:45:17.920 money Monday. So let's sit and tide and talk about 1811 01:45:18.000 --> 01:45:21.359 numbers and boring. Yeah, inflation and let's talk inflation. Let's 1812 01:45:21.399 --> 01:45:23.319 show whether or not it's going to impact the Fed's 1813 01:45:23.359 --> 01:45:25.279 decision to cut interest rates or not, as the case 1814 01:45:25.359 --> 01:45:28.239 may be. But the background of all this is the uh, 1815 01:45:28.840 --> 01:45:32.000 the Trump trade wars, the the tariffs he's been levying 1816 01:45:32.199 --> 01:45:34.159 or then taking off, as the case may be. It 1817 01:45:34.199 --> 01:45:36.399 seems to be like a constantly moving target, you know, 1818 01:45:36.439 --> 01:45:38.359 announces tariffs one day, and then he says, well, I'm 1819 01:45:38.359 --> 01:45:41.159 gonna pause him, give us time to negotiate or talk, 1820 01:45:41.319 --> 01:45:43.239 and you kind of a you never really quite have 1821 01:45:43.279 --> 01:45:46.039 a grip of which direction it's gonna go. But thus far, 1822 01:45:46.920 --> 01:45:49.119 I think the general consensus, at least from what I've 1823 01:45:49.159 --> 01:45:52.720 read no economist am I, is that thus far the 1824 01:45:52.840 --> 01:45:56.279 tariffs really haven't impacted you and me on a day 1825 01:45:56.279 --> 01:45:58.520 to day basis. The way everyone was so frightened that 1826 01:45:58.600 --> 01:46:00.359 it would Oh my god, the price are going to 1827 01:46:00.399 --> 01:46:03.680 go through the roof. Well that's not yet necessarily been 1828 01:46:03.720 --> 01:46:07.359 the case, has it. Yeah, things that make Jerome Powell 1829 01:46:07.479 --> 01:46:08.079 go hmmm. 1830 01:46:08.399 --> 01:46:09.399 So we've seen this. 1831 01:46:09.520 --> 01:46:12.840 We're now starting to see numbers coming out that were 1832 01:46:13.079 --> 01:46:16.119 far enough past the tariff announcements in the actual presence 1833 01:46:16.159 --> 01:46:17.960 of those tariffs. Remember, the announcement of the tariff and 1834 01:46:17.960 --> 01:46:19.840 the actual tariff are two very different things, right, as 1835 01:46:19.880 --> 01:46:23.720 we've learned. But June's CPI is forecasted to rise about 1836 01:46:23.720 --> 01:46:26.239 a third of a percent month over month for both 1837 01:46:26.279 --> 01:46:28.760 headline and core numbers. Remember those are the there's two 1838 01:46:28.800 --> 01:46:30.840 different CPI figures that we all like to look at. 1839 01:46:31.319 --> 01:46:34.000 This is the first real tangible impact we've seen from 1840 01:46:34.600 --> 01:46:37.800 this new round of Trump era tariffs in getting core 1841 01:46:37.840 --> 01:46:40.319 inflation near three percent annually, So it's kind of moving 1842 01:46:40.359 --> 01:46:42.920 away from the target the Fed wants to be in 1843 01:46:43.279 --> 01:46:45.800 the two percent range. That's what really makes Jerome Powell 1844 01:46:46.119 --> 01:46:48.520 happy in the morning. But we're not there. And well, 1845 01:46:48.560 --> 01:46:50.520 this is to your point. This is not terrible. This 1846 01:46:50.680 --> 01:46:53.800 is not a massive spike as some had prognosticated over 1847 01:46:53.840 --> 01:46:55.840 the past few months. But at the same time, up 1848 01:46:55.960 --> 01:46:58.399 is not down, and we're higher than the federal reserve once. 1849 01:46:58.720 --> 01:47:01.640 So at the moment, Jerome Powell has a bit of 1850 01:47:01.680 --> 01:47:04.239 a dilemma in terms of which which battle does he fight? 1851 01:47:04.680 --> 01:47:07.039 Is he going to fight inflation because this is also 1852 01:47:07.119 --> 01:47:10.279 coming alongside a slightly weakening labor market. 1853 01:47:10.119 --> 01:47:12.560 So things do seem to be cooling off. This is 1854 01:47:12.600 --> 01:47:14.319 a tough one. I'm kind of glad that I don't 1855 01:47:14.319 --> 01:47:14.880 have I don't have. 1856 01:47:14.920 --> 01:47:17.319 His job right now, because he's really got two forces 1857 01:47:17.399 --> 01:47:18.760 pulling in the opposite direction on him. 1858 01:47:18.880 --> 01:47:21.319 Well, I mean, are we entering like a nineteen seventies 1859 01:47:21.439 --> 01:47:23.079 kind of situation with stagflation? 1860 01:47:24.039 --> 01:47:24.439 No, I don't. 1861 01:47:24.439 --> 01:47:26.960 I don't think we're there yet. You know, my crystal 1862 01:47:27.000 --> 01:47:29.039 ball is as foggy as anybody else's. But I don't 1863 01:47:29.039 --> 01:47:31.640 think this is this yet has all the same impacts 1864 01:47:32.279 --> 01:47:35.159 that full stagflation did. And the reason that we one 1865 01:47:35.199 --> 01:47:37.560 of the reasons I believe personally, is because there are 1866 01:47:37.720 --> 01:47:41.479 so many catalysts, Brian of ways that we make money 1867 01:47:41.600 --> 01:47:44.600 now compared to the seventies, And I'm just thinking of 1868 01:47:44.720 --> 01:47:48.079 things like, you know, the seventies, we didn't have a 1869 01:47:48.159 --> 01:47:50.479 whole lot of innovation compared to what we have now. 1870 01:47:50.680 --> 01:47:52.359 It's good thinking of the last twenty years. 1871 01:47:52.399 --> 01:47:54.399 We had the Internet come up, and we've had AI, 1872 01:47:54.600 --> 01:47:57.520 we've had a real estate spike, we had COVID that drove, 1873 01:47:57.640 --> 01:47:59.479 you know, the work from home technology and all this stuff. 1874 01:47:59.479 --> 01:48:01.680 Everything is a catalyst that somebody makes money off of. 1875 01:48:01.840 --> 01:48:05.000 So that stuff, I think currently knocking on wood furiously 1876 01:48:05.359 --> 01:48:07.720 is offsetting the downsides of what we're going through. 1877 01:48:08.239 --> 01:48:10.359 That's interesting. I never really looked at it that way. 1878 01:48:10.359 --> 01:48:12.880 A lot of job opportunities that just didn't exist, and 1879 01:48:12.880 --> 01:48:15.439 we've created a whole new economy since the nineteen seventies, 1880 01:48:15.479 --> 01:48:18.199 which was I guess more rooted in a traditional I 1881 01:48:18.279 --> 01:48:21.840 guess more manufacturing type economy, and thus the problems we 1882 01:48:21.960 --> 01:48:22.840 faced in the seventies. 1883 01:48:23.600 --> 01:48:27.199 Yeah, that's right, and there was just a different environment 1884 01:48:27.319 --> 01:48:29.960 in terms of how we recovered from things. So we 1885 01:48:30.079 --> 01:48:34.000 had spikes in oil prices, and of course a lot 1886 01:48:34.039 --> 01:48:37.920 of that too, was driven by President Nixon wanted to 1887 01:48:38.079 --> 01:48:40.119 drive interest rates down because he had an election coming 1888 01:48:40.159 --> 01:48:42.560 up and he wanted happy people putting their votes into 1889 01:48:42.600 --> 01:48:45.000 their ballot boxes, and so he pushed really hard for 1890 01:48:45.079 --> 01:48:47.920 low interest rates, and that spiked a lot of demand, 1891 01:48:48.199 --> 01:48:51.399 which resulted in Paul Volker coming to the rescue with 1892 01:48:51.479 --> 01:48:54.439 his Superman Cape in the late seventies early eighties, forcing 1893 01:48:54.560 --> 01:48:57.960 us into a pretty significant recession that then settled back 1894 01:48:58.000 --> 01:49:00.359 down into this two to three percent range that we 1895 01:49:00.479 --> 01:49:02.439 over the past forty years have determined as kind of 1896 01:49:02.439 --> 01:49:04.640 the right happy place to be, because over the last 1897 01:49:04.680 --> 01:49:07.399 forty years it hasn't been that crazy economically speaking when 1898 01:49:07.439 --> 01:49:09.560 you compare it to the nineteen seventies, So we've kind 1899 01:49:09.560 --> 01:49:12.079 of concluded that, okay, that must be the right place 1900 01:49:12.159 --> 01:49:15.199 to be balanced, but it takes some sacrifices to get there. 1901 01:49:15.319 --> 01:49:19.239 All right. So we have this point three percent predicted 1902 01:49:19.840 --> 01:49:22.960 figure for the consumer price it's supposed to come out 1903 01:49:23.000 --> 01:49:25.960 today core rate that strips out food and energy also 1904 01:49:26.079 --> 01:49:28.800 predicted to B point three, which makes it higher than 1905 01:49:28.880 --> 01:49:31.279 the fetid hope, because that would push it past the 1906 01:49:31.359 --> 01:49:34.159 two percent goal and closer to three percent if it 1907 01:49:34.159 --> 01:49:36.119 will remain on this trajectory. If I got that right, 1908 01:49:36.640 --> 01:49:39.560 that's correct, You're on the right path all right now. 1909 01:49:41.840 --> 01:49:45.560 Two lower interest rates would be to add fuel to 1910 01:49:45.680 --> 01:49:49.880 the fire of the inflationary numbers, at least that's what 1911 01:49:49.920 --> 01:49:50.520 they always say. 1912 01:49:50.680 --> 01:49:53.520 Correct, that's correct, exactly, right, and that's what Trump wants. 1913 01:49:53.520 --> 01:49:55.479 Trump has been talking about rates aren't low enough. You 1914 01:49:55.560 --> 01:49:57.920 said that all the way through, and I honestly, I 1915 01:49:58.000 --> 01:50:01.079 think I'd wear a tinfoil hat some but especially when 1916 01:50:01.119 --> 01:50:03.760 it comes to politicians of every flavor, because everybody, at 1917 01:50:03.800 --> 01:50:05.439 the end of the day is just out for votes. 1918 01:50:05.520 --> 01:50:08.000 That's all because they got to stay in their jobs. Anyway, 1919 01:50:08.279 --> 01:50:10.520 I think it's a sexy thing to talk about interest rates. 1920 01:50:10.560 --> 01:50:13.239 We've all become fixated with interest rates because we've we've 1921 01:50:13.279 --> 01:50:15.520 fallen in love with the idea of refinancing our mortgages 1922 01:50:15.560 --> 01:50:17.439 over and over again, and we feel entitled to these 1923 01:50:17.479 --> 01:50:20.279 two to three percent mortgages. Therefore, if I'm a politician, 1924 01:50:20.520 --> 01:50:22.720 it makes sense for me to just talk about lower rates. 1925 01:50:23.079 --> 01:50:24.600 All you need is the SoundBite. I don't need to 1926 01:50:24.600 --> 01:50:27.359 get into the possible downsides of having rates too low 1927 01:50:27.399 --> 01:50:29.039 for too long. We saw that in the seventies. I'm 1928 01:50:29.079 --> 01:50:30.800 going to talk about that. I'm just going to trigger 1929 01:50:30.880 --> 01:50:32.840 people's memories that hey, I really liked when I could 1930 01:50:32.880 --> 01:50:35.760 refinance my mortgage over and over again, So that can 1931 01:50:35.840 --> 01:50:38.000 possibly win me votes. That's going to be the drum 1932 01:50:38.079 --> 01:50:38.520 that I beat. 1933 01:50:38.680 --> 01:50:40.439 Yeah, you know, and the other. The sort of the 1934 01:50:40.520 --> 01:50:43.359 side cul de sac on that point is if interest 1935 01:50:43.439 --> 01:50:46.279 rates were back down to three percent for mortgages, I 1936 01:50:46.319 --> 01:50:49.199 think it would probably exacerbate the already problem shortage of 1937 01:50:49.279 --> 01:50:51.760 housing we have. There'd be more people out there wanting 1938 01:50:51.880 --> 01:50:54.920 to buy, which of course drive the limited inventory prices up. 1939 01:50:55.399 --> 01:50:57.479 Yeah, the people who would be happiest are the ones 1940 01:50:57.479 --> 01:50:59.800 who bought a house anyway, knowing full well that it's 1941 01:50:59.840 --> 01:51:01.920 not it's not as good of an environment as it 1942 01:51:02.079 --> 01:51:04.119 was over the past ten to fifteen years, but they 1943 01:51:04.159 --> 01:51:06.199 were sort of gambling that rates are going to come down, 1944 01:51:06.199 --> 01:51:08.680 I can refinance. Those people would be really, really happy. 1945 01:51:08.960 --> 01:51:11.640 It's the people who are furiously trying to build up 1946 01:51:11.640 --> 01:51:13.640 a down payment to buy their first home that are 1947 01:51:13.720 --> 01:51:15.800 going to take it right in the face because it's 1948 01:51:15.840 --> 01:51:18.079 just going to get slightly more more and more expensive 1949 01:51:18.079 --> 01:51:18.760 as it already is. 1950 01:51:19.199 --> 01:51:22.960 Yeah, there's no end insight to that one now. And 1951 01:51:23.079 --> 01:51:27.039 back to inflation. The idea that Trump just announced over 1952 01:51:27.079 --> 01:51:29.319 the weekend, he's going to put a thirty percent terrifying 1953 01:51:29.359 --> 01:51:31.800 goods from the European Union and Mexico, and that kicks 1954 01:51:31.840 --> 01:51:34.239 in August first, obviously giving him a couple of week 1955 01:51:34.279 --> 01:51:36.880 winded and negotiate, which I presume that's what he wants. 1956 01:51:37.840 --> 01:51:40.359 That hasn't been factored into the situation, has it yet? 1957 01:51:41.039 --> 01:51:41.640 No, not really. 1958 01:51:41.920 --> 01:51:44.239 But at the same time, I think we're used to this, right. 1959 01:51:44.319 --> 01:51:47.840 So remember back in April, the market hit an absolute bottom, 1960 01:51:47.880 --> 01:51:49.680 and it hit it hard in early April, and that 1961 01:51:49.800 --> 01:51:52.319 was the initial panic over, oh my gosh, these tariffs 1962 01:51:52.359 --> 01:51:54.600 are huge, one hundred and forty percent on stuff coming 1963 01:51:54.600 --> 01:51:57.000 out of China and we're changing him every other day. 1964 01:51:57.079 --> 01:51:57.920 Panic, panic, panic. 1965 01:51:58.079 --> 01:52:00.720 Well then we realize, okay, wait a minute, maybe we're 1966 01:52:00.800 --> 01:52:03.159 not going to actually tear off band aids like it 1967 01:52:03.239 --> 01:52:05.039 felt like we were going to. We're gonna kind of, 1968 01:52:05.520 --> 01:52:07.560 you know, put these thirty day delays and all that 1969 01:52:07.640 --> 01:52:09.800 kind of stuff on it. So the market is kind 1970 01:52:09.800 --> 01:52:12.239 of winking at all this. It's just kind of ignoring it, 1971 01:52:12.359 --> 01:52:14.039 you know whatever, Let me know when you're done and 1972 01:52:14.079 --> 01:52:15.880 you've decided, then the market will tell us what it's 1973 01:52:15.880 --> 01:52:17.920 going to do. So, you know, futures as we're sitting 1974 01:52:17.960 --> 01:52:19.640 here right now, are down a little bit for the morning, 1975 01:52:20.239 --> 01:52:22.159 but not nearly as much as they would have been 1976 01:52:22.399 --> 01:52:25.479 when these first tariff announcements came out months ago. 1977 01:52:25.520 --> 01:52:28.720 When we were first getting used to our new chaotic reality. Well, 1978 01:52:28.960 --> 01:52:31.840 and maybe that's because they didn't stick around for a 1979 01:52:31.920 --> 01:52:33.720 long time. That was like, you know, Trump woud announce 1980 01:52:33.800 --> 01:52:35.359 him and the market will react, and then he would say, 1981 01:52:35.399 --> 01:52:36.760 now I'm going to put a hold on those and 1982 01:52:36.880 --> 01:52:40.199 withdraw them and again for the purpose of negotiating. Sitting 1983 01:52:40.239 --> 01:52:42.880 in the negotiation table, it's all I guess can be 1984 01:52:43.000 --> 01:52:45.199 made of why they're on and they're off, and they're 1985 01:52:45.239 --> 01:52:48.840 on and they're off again. But you can't factor that in. 1986 01:52:48.960 --> 01:52:51.039 If you don't have any idea which direction the tariffs 1987 01:52:51.079 --> 01:52:53.079 are going to go, how do you forecast the future? 1988 01:52:53.159 --> 01:52:54.000 You just can't do it. 1989 01:52:54.479 --> 01:52:56.920 You know, I picture, you know, being mugged in an alley. 1990 01:52:57.000 --> 01:52:59.399 If I jabb my knife at you, you're probably going 1991 01:52:59.439 --> 01:53:01.640 to be more willing to hand me over your wallet 1992 01:53:01.680 --> 01:53:03.600 without me having to do any damage. That's really all 1993 01:53:03.640 --> 01:53:05.119 we do, over and over and over again. It's just 1994 01:53:05.199 --> 01:53:07.920 a negotiation. As ugly as it sounds, it truly is. 1995 01:53:08.560 --> 01:53:10.800 Well, I know to the Wall Street journalist said the economists, 1996 01:53:11.000 --> 01:53:14.520 economists are seeing a lower recession risk with stronger job growth. 1997 01:53:14.560 --> 01:53:17.119 That's Wall Street journal survey of the economists that they 1998 01:53:17.239 --> 01:53:20.560 talk to. So I mean it's like a mixed bag 1999 01:53:20.600 --> 01:53:22.359 of news and all this. Brian, I guess that's why 2000 01:53:22.399 --> 01:53:25.560 there's so much confusion in terms of which direction we're 2001 01:53:25.560 --> 01:53:27.479 going to go in terms of rate interest rates. 2002 01:53:27.880 --> 01:53:30.239 Yeah, and this is very much a popcorn making time 2003 01:53:30.319 --> 01:53:31.800 for the rest of us who do not have to 2004 01:53:31.880 --> 01:53:34.600 make these decisions on that benefit or harm the rest 2005 01:53:34.640 --> 01:53:36.319 of the world. Again, I go back to Jerome Powell. 2006 01:53:36.479 --> 01:53:37.960 I don't know how the man sleeps at night. He's 2007 01:53:38.399 --> 01:53:41.000 he's in a world where you know, again, he's got 2008 01:53:41.000 --> 01:53:43.640 those two forces pulling an opposite direction, and he's the 2009 01:53:43.680 --> 01:53:45.720 one who has to decide which lever to pull and 2010 01:53:45.760 --> 01:53:47.560 which button to push. So I do not envy that 2011 01:53:47.640 --> 01:53:48.159 man right now. 2012 01:53:48.399 --> 01:53:50.399 No, No, he's in quite a conunder. We'll talk more 2013 01:53:50.399 --> 01:53:53.039 about this with Brian James from all Worth Financial that 2014 01:53:53.319 --> 01:53:57.359 and I guess we also have some of the big, 2015 01:53:57.520 --> 01:54:00.000 beautiful tax breaks, maybe a little bit smaller than people 2016 01:54:00.159 --> 01:54:03.760 anticipate in the bvb Ryan James will continue after this. 2017 01:54:03.880 --> 01:54:06.079 Word for plum tight plumbing, plumbing done right.

If you've got kirc detalk station, very happy 2044 01:55:23.079 --> 01:55:25.560 Monday to you. Done money Monday thing with Brian James 2045 01:55:25.600 --> 01:55:29.520 Smallworth Financial. Going back to the conundrum and the problem 2046 01:55:29.560 --> 01:55:31.680 that Jerome Powell is in such a position you mentioned 2047 01:55:31.720 --> 01:55:35.720 it in this article just addresses it. The one who 2048 01:55:35.720 --> 01:55:37.760 provided me the Fed is too mandates. It can be 2049 01:55:37.840 --> 01:55:39.760 at odds, and there are odds now keep inflation in 2050 01:55:39.880 --> 01:55:43.039 check and supporting the labor market. So to keep inflation 2051 01:55:43.199 --> 01:55:45.920 in check if it's running too hot, they raise rates 2052 01:55:46.000 --> 01:55:49.039 to slow demand. Okay, when the labor market starts to 2053 01:55:49.159 --> 01:55:52.159 drop off, they cut rates to boost borrowing and spending 2054 01:55:52.359 --> 01:55:55.600 and thus in turn hiring. But you've got both going 2055 01:55:55.640 --> 01:55:57.520 on at the same time. You have a cooling labor 2056 01:55:57.600 --> 01:55:59.840 market as has been reflected, and you have a little 2057 01:55:59.880 --> 01:56:02.439 bit warmer inflation number as you mentioned. It was point 2058 01:56:02.479 --> 01:56:04.640 three or is reportedly going to be point three for 2059 01:56:04.720 --> 01:56:08.560 the month, higher than the two percent annual trajectory. So 2060 01:56:09.319 --> 01:56:12.119 it suggests, I mean, the answer seems to me to 2061 01:56:12.159 --> 01:56:13.760 be just don't touch the rates at all at this 2062 01:56:13.880 --> 01:56:16.680 point rather than lower them or increase them, which nobody 2063 01:56:16.720 --> 01:56:21.399 really is talking much about. Why would you even do 2064 01:56:21.560 --> 01:56:23.680 anything to him right now if you have no clear 2065 01:56:23.840 --> 01:56:26.640 vision of the future on this, Brian James, Yeah. 2066 01:56:26.439 --> 01:56:29.039 At the moment, we're not at a point. Again, I'm 2067 01:56:29.079 --> 01:56:30.960 not Jerome Powell. I'm not responsible for this. So this 2068 01:56:31.079 --> 01:56:34.159 is purely you know, me sitting off on the sidelines 2069 01:56:34.399 --> 01:56:37.840 being an armchair fed chair. But so yeah, I don't 2070 01:56:37.880 --> 01:56:39.399 think we're at a point where we have to go 2071 01:56:39.560 --> 01:56:42.039 one direction or the other, you know, with the exception 2072 01:56:42.319 --> 01:56:46.640 of the pressure from the White House is enormous, of course, 2073 01:56:46.800 --> 01:56:48.880 because this has been, like I said, this has been 2074 01:56:49.000 --> 01:56:52.039 a campaign plank for President Trump for both of his 2075 01:56:52.560 --> 01:56:55.000 both of his terms, and when he was not in office, 2076 01:56:55.039 --> 01:56:57.239 he was still talking about it, right, always being that 2077 01:56:57.359 --> 01:56:59.279 rates need to go lower, lower, lower. We'll worry about 2078 01:56:59.279 --> 01:57:01.560 the rest later. So well, at the moment, I think 2079 01:57:01.600 --> 01:57:04.119 it's it's kind of it's relatively easy for fed chair 2080 01:57:04.159 --> 01:57:06.520 pal to not do anything about it because of those 2081 01:57:06.880 --> 01:57:10.359 things that could happen and the benefits would not outweigh 2082 01:57:10.399 --> 01:57:12.199 the risks. Currently, we're kind of at a bit of 2083 01:57:12.239 --> 01:57:13.920 a balance, and that's what we're seeing in the stock 2084 01:57:13.960 --> 01:57:16.039 and bond market. It's fairly knock on wood quiet time 2085 01:57:16.119 --> 01:57:18.760 right now, but later in the year, later in September. 2086 01:57:19.079 --> 01:57:22.119 If these trends continue, in other words, if the labor 2087 01:57:22.199 --> 01:57:25.720 market continues to weaken and we continue to have the 2088 01:57:25.960 --> 01:57:28.439 other things happening on the inflationary side, then he's probably 2089 01:57:28.520 --> 01:57:30.039 going to have to make a move in one direction 2090 01:57:30.119 --> 01:57:31.880 or another and lay as cards on the table. Well, 2091 01:57:31.920 --> 01:57:34.119 it's right now, we're kind of stableish, But if. 2092 01:57:34.039 --> 01:57:36.680 That happens, in other words, inflation continues on its current 2093 01:57:36.760 --> 01:57:39.479 upward trajectory and the labor market is on the downward trajectory, 2094 01:57:39.520 --> 01:57:41.319 the likelihood that the rates are going to get lowered 2095 01:57:41.439 --> 01:57:45.840 is slim and none, because that'll have a profound impact 2096 01:57:45.920 --> 01:57:48.640 on inflation. At least that's what they say. Because and 2097 01:57:48.720 --> 01:57:50.079 this is the other thing I wanted to test and 2098 01:57:50.159 --> 01:57:53.439 find out what your perception is. The import taxes haven't 2099 01:57:53.560 --> 01:57:57.640 yet crept into the consumer prices because apparently companies were 2100 01:57:57.680 --> 01:58:01.640 front loading inventory because they anticipated these tariffs kicking in, 2101 01:58:01.800 --> 01:58:03.880 so they've pre ordered a whole bunch of stuff in 2102 01:58:03.960 --> 01:58:06.560 late two thousand and four. In twenty twenty five, but 2103 01:58:06.640 --> 01:58:09.279 it's pointed out Eventually they're gonna have to start passing 2104 01:58:09.319 --> 01:58:12.239 on higher prices to consumers because their inventories are gonna 2105 01:58:12.279 --> 01:58:14.119 run low and they're gonna have to start buying more 2106 01:58:14.199 --> 01:58:16.359 stuff in things that are gonna be subject to the tariff. So, 2107 01:58:17.000 --> 01:58:19.439 I mean, if anybody, if this is an accurate assessment 2108 01:58:19.520 --> 01:58:22.399 of the landscape, you know, prices are gonna go up. 2109 01:58:22.880 --> 01:58:23.600 They're gonna have to. 2110 01:58:23.680 --> 01:58:24.840 There's really no other choice. 2111 01:58:24.880 --> 01:58:28.640 You're right, because because again we're as I said earlier, 2112 01:58:28.800 --> 01:58:31.359 we've been calm over this reletive once we got over 2113 01:58:31.359 --> 01:58:33.399 the initial shock that we're gonna start talking about tariffs 2114 01:58:33.479 --> 01:58:35.039 very loudly. That was back in April, and then we 2115 01:58:35.119 --> 01:58:37.359 realized it's not gonna It wasn't It's not as scary 2116 01:58:37.359 --> 01:58:39.439 as it sounds, because we really haven't seen the impact yet. 2117 01:58:39.800 --> 01:58:43.000 Now we're riding the wave of prices that were locked 2118 01:58:43.039 --> 01:58:45.000 in as you just pointed out in Q four of 2119 01:58:45.119 --> 01:58:47.199 last year and Q one of this year in anticipation. 2120 01:58:47.399 --> 01:58:50.279 So things are still stable, but we're not truly in 2121 01:58:50.359 --> 01:58:54.159 a full tariff oriented reality that's coming over the next 2122 01:58:54.199 --> 01:58:57.119 several months. And if we if we really want to 2123 01:58:57.119 --> 01:58:59.840 follow what the President says in lower rates than that. 2124 01:59:00.000 --> 01:59:02.800 That is going to provide opportunities for businesses to make 2125 01:59:02.880 --> 01:59:05.119 more money, and they're going to They're definitely. 2126 01:59:04.880 --> 01:59:06.520 Going to push that because it's what they do, it's, 2127 01:59:06.640 --> 01:59:07.600 you know, what they should do. 2128 01:59:07.720 --> 01:59:09.319 But on the other hand, they are not the ones 2129 01:59:09.399 --> 01:59:12.800 responsible for keeping inflation in check. That falls to That 2130 01:59:12.880 --> 01:59:15.560 falls to the Fed chair and he's going to have 2131 01:59:15.640 --> 01:59:17.880 to make some tough decisions in terms of guiding us 2132 01:59:17.880 --> 01:59:18.239 through all that. 2133 01:59:18.399 --> 01:59:19.600 Well, he's just got to wait and see what the 2134 01:59:19.680 --> 01:59:21.760 terrorists do and if they even go into effect. Again, 2135 01:59:21.880 --> 01:59:25.119 thirty percent announce kicking in August first for quite a 2136 01:59:25.199 --> 01:59:28.720 number of our trading partners, and again the logical conclusion 2137 01:59:28.920 --> 01:59:32.760 is that we'll raise prices ergo lowering rates when a 2138 01:59:32.840 --> 01:59:36.560 time of rising prices is a recipe for rapid runaway inflation, 2139 01:59:36.720 --> 01:59:39.479 which Donald Trump mean Donald Trump campaigned on lowering inflation. 2140 01:59:39.560 --> 01:59:41.600 It's going to do the exact opposite of what he promised. 2141 01:59:41.600 --> 01:59:45.199 And as we run into you know, the next election cycle, 2142 01:59:45.359 --> 01:59:47.239 that's not going to be real. Good thing happened in 2143 01:59:47.279 --> 01:59:49.520 Brian James. If you're hopefully hoping for the best for 2144 01:59:49.600 --> 01:59:50.880 the Republicans anyway. 2145 01:59:50.800 --> 01:59:52.279 And I'll hope for the best for all of us, 2146 01:59:52.319 --> 01:59:54.560 which is, if you find a way to get along, 2147 01:59:54.640 --> 01:59:56.359 then maybe we'd be we'd be in a better spot. 2148 01:59:56.439 --> 01:59:58.399 But yeah, and I think the other challenging thing is 2149 01:59:58.960 --> 02:00:01.600 fed chair Pal doesn't get to change interest rates today 2150 02:00:01.800 --> 02:00:03.800 and then make and then reverse the change tomorrow. 2151 02:00:03.880 --> 02:00:04.199 That's right. 2152 02:00:04.319 --> 02:00:07.439 Trump apparently does, so that's he's gonna Pal's gonna have 2153 02:00:07.479 --> 02:00:09.680 to wait until the dust truly truly settles on this, 2154 02:00:09.760 --> 02:00:12.560 because his decisions are much more permanent and long lasting 2155 02:00:12.760 --> 02:00:14.159 than a day and a half worth of tariffs. 2156 02:00:14.359 --> 02:00:16.560 Well, and I suppose in the background there's always the 2157 02:00:16.640 --> 02:00:19.079 notion that just threatening the thirty percent teriffs will at 2158 02:00:19.119 --> 02:00:21.439 least bring folks to the negotiation table and maybe we'll 2159 02:00:21.520 --> 02:00:23.359 end up with a better deal before anything kicks in 2160 02:00:23.479 --> 02:00:27.119 and ultimately impacts inflation. One can only pray that we 2161 02:00:27.199 --> 02:00:29.560 get that kind of resolution. Brian James, let's continue with 2162 02:00:29.640 --> 02:00:31.680 you and some of the big beautiful tax breaks a 2163 02:00:31.720 --> 02:00:35.199 little bit smaller than some anticipated.

My friend, welcome, oh thank you for having 2202 02:02:14.840 --> 02:02:19.239 me twenty nine years old. Have I got that right? Yes, sir, Well, 2203 02:02:19.319 --> 02:02:23.520 it's an amazing accomplishment and congratulations on reaching that lofty 2204 02:02:23.560 --> 02:02:26.680 goal at such a young age. And you are fighting 2205 02:02:26.840 --> 02:02:29.720 to protect what we voted for and overwhelming numbers here 2206 02:02:29.760 --> 02:02:31.520 in the state of Ohio. That was an issue too. 2207 02:02:31.720 --> 02:02:34.960 November twenty three, fifty seven percent of Ohioans voted yes 2208 02:02:35.039 --> 02:02:38.760 to legalize recreational cannabis use in marijuana use in the 2209 02:02:38.760 --> 02:02:42.039 state of Ohio, and immediately it was actually mostly driven 2210 02:02:42.079 --> 02:02:43.880 by the Republicans side of the ledger, although you may 2211 02:02:43.960 --> 02:02:45.760 know some Democrats who are trying to change the law, 2212 02:02:45.840 --> 02:02:49.279 but this wasn't a constitutional amendment, so the legislative brands 2213 02:02:49.439 --> 02:02:53.800 can make changes to what we passed by overwhelming majority. 2214 02:02:54.119 --> 02:02:56.600 What are they trying to do? You're in opposition to 2215 02:02:56.680 --> 02:02:58.880 some of these changes. What are the proposals and what 2216 02:02:59.000 --> 02:03:02.239 types of changes are being thrown around in Columbus right now? 2217 02:03:02.359 --> 02:03:07.920 Tex Yeah, I think so the bill has made admittedly 2218 02:03:07.920 --> 02:03:10.000 a lot of progress, I think in the right direction. 2219 02:03:10.199 --> 02:03:12.680 So we're talking about a Senate Bill fifty six. I 2220 02:03:12.800 --> 02:03:14.399 was introduced at the beginning of the year and moved 2221 02:03:14.439 --> 02:03:17.319 pretty quickly through the Senate, and then as I got 2222 02:03:17.359 --> 02:03:19.000 to the House, a lot of changes have been made. 2223 02:03:19.079 --> 02:03:22.239 So I still have not seen the most up to 2224 02:03:22.319 --> 02:03:25.000 date version of the bill, but I do know that 2225 02:03:25.039 --> 02:03:27.840 it has moved in a pretty significantly positive direction in 2226 02:03:27.960 --> 02:03:29.800 terms of respecting the world of voters. And I think 2227 02:03:29.840 --> 02:03:31.960 the goal of what myself and some of the other 2228 02:03:32.000 --> 02:03:34.800 folks working on this is we really want this to 2229 02:03:34.880 --> 02:03:37.439 be more of an implementation of issue too, because there 2230 02:03:37.479 --> 02:03:41.039 are a lot of language in the battle initiative was 2231 02:03:41.199 --> 02:03:42.000 kind of insufficient. 2232 02:03:42.039 --> 02:03:42.880 It was a little bit vague. 2233 02:03:43.039 --> 02:03:45.439 It didn't give I think the proper guardrails to the 2234 02:03:46.439 --> 02:03:49.000 administrative folks at the Division of Cannabis Control to really 2235 02:03:49.600 --> 02:03:52.600 implement the legal cannabis market in a way that makes 2236 02:03:52.640 --> 02:03:55.520 sense in this pro business. So that's what I'm looking for. 2237 02:03:55.960 --> 02:03:57.760 I think it's making a lot of progress in that direction, 2238 02:03:57.840 --> 02:04:00.880 but ultimately we weren't entirely there. I think there are 2239 02:04:01.479 --> 02:04:03.840 definitely some folks that want to see things more restricted, 2240 02:04:03.920 --> 02:04:06.000 and I certainly you know, understand where they're coming from, 2241 02:04:06.039 --> 02:04:08.399 but that's not what the people voted for. So I 2242 02:04:08.439 --> 02:04:10.039 think our job is to try to find the right 2243 02:04:10.079 --> 02:04:13.520 balance of making sure we're protecting the intent of what 2244 02:04:13.760 --> 02:04:16.920 the voters passed an issue too, while also making it 2245 02:04:16.920 --> 02:04:18.640 a little bit easier for those folks to do business, 2246 02:04:18.680 --> 02:04:20.520 and also addressing the hemp issue in a smart and 2247 02:04:20.600 --> 02:04:23.479 reasonable way, because I think that was another big sticking 2248 02:04:23.520 --> 02:04:25.479 point for myself and some other folks on the Republican 2249 02:04:25.560 --> 02:04:27.720 side of the legislature that we want to make sure 2250 02:04:27.760 --> 02:04:29.640 that whatever we do on these is the right thing 2251 02:04:29.680 --> 02:04:31.520 to do, and not just passing something so we can 2252 02:04:31.560 --> 02:04:34.159 say we passed something and then end up just you know, 2253 02:04:34.279 --> 02:04:37.600 and ending up with a constitutional amendment that we can't change, 2254 02:04:37.600 --> 02:04:38.960 which is just going to waste a whole lot of 2255 02:04:39.000 --> 02:04:40.560 everyone's time and money. And I think we can do 2256 02:04:40.640 --> 02:04:43.079 this the right way and so respectable of the voters. 2257 02:04:43.600 --> 02:04:46.720 Well, now, is there a division or like a distinction 2258 02:04:46.840 --> 02:04:50.000 being drawn between hemp and marijuana? Is that one of 2259 02:04:50.039 --> 02:04:52.279 the things that's being bandied about and argued over because 2260 02:04:52.359 --> 02:04:55.720 you know, hemp, to me is is just an industrial product. 2261 02:04:55.920 --> 02:04:58.000 You can't get high on it. And I remember one 2262 02:04:58.039 --> 02:05:00.640 politician saying those self respecting dope head would even be 2263 02:05:00.760 --> 02:05:03.359 caught smoking hemp. I mean, it's an exercise and futility 2264 02:05:03.399 --> 02:05:05.760 to get high off of it. So but it has 2265 02:05:05.920 --> 02:05:08.319 great industrial You can make any literally anything out of it, 2266 02:05:08.479 --> 02:05:11.760 clothing and play plastics, and make wood products out of it. 2267 02:05:11.920 --> 02:05:14.560 So there's a lot of industrial uses for it. I 2268 02:05:14.600 --> 02:05:16.520 mean that is even is there even a need to 2269 02:05:16.600 --> 02:05:19.319 regulate it just because it looks like marijuana? I mean, 2270 02:05:19.399 --> 02:05:21.600 what's the story on hamp relative to marijuana? Text? 2271 02:05:22.880 --> 02:05:25.359 So the issue there is so familiar with like the 2272 02:05:25.439 --> 02:05:29.239 Delta eight or the types of intoxicating THHC products which 2273 02:05:29.279 --> 02:05:34.199 are hemp derived. Sometimes in some cases they're synthesized you know, 2274 02:05:34.279 --> 02:05:37.760 there are some fairly intoxicating products that are very accessible 2275 02:05:37.840 --> 02:05:40.439 to get right now in gas station's, convenience stores, okay 2276 02:05:40.760 --> 02:05:41.479 and the like. 2277 02:05:41.680 --> 02:05:45.279 So they're concentrating, they're concentrating the low level hamp. It's 2278 02:05:45.319 --> 02:05:47.880 like less than three percent I suppose in hemp, and 2279 02:05:47.960 --> 02:05:50.479 they're taking that and concentrating it into something that is 2280 02:05:50.960 --> 02:05:54.560 well obviously much more capable of getting someone intoxicated. 2281 02:05:56.239 --> 02:05:59.199 Correct, So that under the Farm Bill passed several years 2282 02:05:59.199 --> 02:06:02.239 ago in DC, it actually legalized all these different hemp 2283 02:06:02.279 --> 02:06:05.479 products with the standard you know, you can't have more 2284 02:06:05.520 --> 02:06:08.399 total THHC than point zero three percent by dry weight. 2285 02:06:09.439 --> 02:06:12.399 You know, there are a lot of technicalities technicalities involved 2286 02:06:12.399 --> 02:06:15.159 in that. But the issue that we're seeing is there 2287 02:06:15.159 --> 02:06:18.920 are intoxicating products that are readily readily available, but under 2288 02:06:19.000 --> 02:06:23.640 federal law, the recreational adult use cannabis products and any 2289 02:06:23.640 --> 02:06:27.319 of these intoxicating hemp drive products are two totally different products. 2290 02:06:27.720 --> 02:06:30.920 So these are federally legal, and I think we all 2291 02:06:30.920 --> 02:06:32.680 agree there are issues. We don't want kids being able 2292 02:06:32.720 --> 02:06:34.359 to walk into a gas station and buy like a 2293 02:06:34.800 --> 02:06:37.680 THHD evate, But I think some of the proposals to 2294 02:06:37.760 --> 02:06:40.960 address that, we're also kind of an over correction and 2295 02:06:41.039 --> 02:06:42.800 when it end up harming a lot of small businesses 2296 02:06:42.840 --> 02:06:44.439 that do want to play by the roles and accept 2297 02:06:44.600 --> 02:06:46.600 that there is a need for regulation and some quality 2298 02:06:46.640 --> 02:06:48.640 controls and to make sure kids aren't getting these things. 2299 02:06:48.720 --> 02:06:51.840 But finding the right balance between address in the safety 2300 02:06:51.880 --> 02:06:53.880 issue and also not putting a whole lot of people. 2301 02:06:53.720 --> 02:06:54.279 Out of business. 2302 02:06:54.760 --> 02:06:57.800 That's that's another another area where it's easier said than done. 2303 02:06:58.399 --> 02:07:00.159 Well, I'll tell you what text fecialist.

One 2340 02:08:39.399 --> 02:08:41.319 of the things that sounds like they're going back to 2341 02:08:41.439 --> 02:08:44.319 our hemp discussion, the idea that yeah, hemp is hamp 2342 02:08:44.399 --> 02:08:45.800 and you can't get high on it, but they, you know, 2343 02:08:45.840 --> 02:08:48.359 they back behind the scenes, they can process this into 2344 02:08:48.439 --> 02:08:52.079 something that is intoxicating, and it's being sold in you know, 2345 02:08:52.279 --> 02:08:55.840 places outside of licensed marijuana dispensaries. You know, you got 2346 02:08:55.880 --> 02:08:58.760 your state licensed you know shops, and then you got 2347 02:08:58.800 --> 02:09:01.399 your grocery stores, your smoke shops and all that. Isn't 2348 02:09:01.439 --> 02:09:04.439 there an age limit already in place? Text fis sure 2349 02:09:04.600 --> 02:09:07.600 that prevents young people from buying it, assuming that the 2350 02:09:08.000 --> 02:09:11.960 various shops that it's sold at are karting or otherwise 2351 02:09:12.000 --> 02:09:12.760 following the law. 2352 02:09:14.520 --> 02:09:15.439 So not necessarily. 2353 02:09:15.560 --> 02:09:15.600 So. 2354 02:09:15.880 --> 02:09:18.399 The issue that we're dealing with here and is this 2355 02:09:18.560 --> 02:09:20.840 is just it's sort of a wild West right now. Yeah, 2356 02:09:21.439 --> 02:09:23.640 And I think that's that's an area of cause, an 2357 02:09:23.640 --> 02:09:26.079 area of concern for pretty much everybody across the aisle. 2358 02:09:26.159 --> 02:09:28.680 The issue is you know, are we going to overregulate 2359 02:09:28.760 --> 02:09:30.359 these products to the point where you put a lot 2360 02:09:30.399 --> 02:09:32.680 of people out of business? Because of course, like any industry, 2361 02:09:32.960 --> 02:09:34.600 there are bad actors in this space, but there are 2362 02:09:34.600 --> 02:09:37.000 also a lot of good people that are following the law, 2363 02:09:37.159 --> 02:09:39.000 that are invested a lot of money just trying to 2364 02:09:39.039 --> 02:09:41.720 make a living. And I think whatever we need to 2365 02:09:41.760 --> 02:09:44.199 do needs to try to strike the appropriate balance of 2366 02:09:44.520 --> 02:09:47.439 safety and also being pro business and respecting the fact 2367 02:09:47.479 --> 02:09:49.399 that if we were to ban these products at the 2368 02:09:49.399 --> 02:09:51.479 state level in Ohio, put these people in Ohio out 2369 02:09:51.479 --> 02:09:53.520 of business. People just go on the internet by the 2370 02:09:53.560 --> 02:09:55.840 exact same stuff and we'd have no ability to control it, 2371 02:09:56.159 --> 02:09:58.239 no ability to test it, to regulate it. So it's, 2372 02:09:58.880 --> 02:10:00.640 you know, it's the reality of you know, we may 2373 02:10:00.680 --> 02:10:02.520 not like something, or some folks may not like something, 2374 02:10:02.560 --> 02:10:04.439 but if they can get it, why don't we just 2375 02:10:04.520 --> 02:10:06.119 accept that we want to push them into a market. 2376 02:10:06.199 --> 02:10:08.840 Kind of similar to the conversation about legalizing marijuana is 2377 02:10:08.880 --> 02:10:12.279 if people were getting, buying, smoking, and jesting marijuana before 2378 02:10:12.279 --> 02:10:14.359 it was legal, we all understand that, but now that 2379 02:10:14.439 --> 02:10:15.800 we have a legal market, I think they have a 2380 02:10:15.840 --> 02:10:17.520 lot of good people in that space that are making 2381 02:10:17.520 --> 02:10:19.159 sure these products are as safe as they can be 2382 02:10:19.319 --> 02:10:21.760 and have a lot of quality controls and safety controls, 2383 02:10:21.800 --> 02:10:24.000 And I think that's the appropriate balance mean to try 2384 02:10:24.039 --> 02:10:26.520 to find is the reality of people get these stuff, 2385 02:10:26.680 --> 02:10:29.680 this stuff on the internet. But whatever we do, we 2386 02:10:29.720 --> 02:10:32.239 should also encourage people to buy Ohio based products and 2387 02:10:32.399 --> 02:10:33.600 support Ohio hemp farmers. 2388 02:10:33.920 --> 02:10:36.239 Yeah. And if there's a reason to buy an Ohio 2389 02:10:36.319 --> 02:10:38.640 based product, for example, it's been tests that it doesn't 2390 02:10:38.680 --> 02:10:41.199 have any you know, funguses or things growing in it, 2391 02:10:41.600 --> 02:10:43.640 and it is safe. I guess maybe part of this 2392 02:10:43.760 --> 02:10:46.560 conversation about this Delta eight which is derived from this 2393 02:10:46.720 --> 02:10:50.039 low level THC hemp, is is it the same thing 2394 02:10:50.239 --> 02:10:52.880 as marijuana in terms of the dangers or harm it 2395 02:10:53.000 --> 02:10:55.680 might present? Is that a separate discussion that's going on 2396 02:10:55.840 --> 02:10:57.439 is it's sort of a horse of a different color 2397 02:10:57.479 --> 02:11:00.560 as compared to marijuana and the intoxicating THHD marijuana. 2398 02:11:01.920 --> 02:11:03.640 Yeah, I think so. And I think the big the 2399 02:11:03.680 --> 02:11:06.439 big issue we have is quality control. And I think 2400 02:11:06.520 --> 02:11:08.920 that there is there's some folks in the marijuana industry, 2401 02:11:09.079 --> 02:11:10.960 and I think their right to believe this is that 2402 02:11:11.479 --> 02:11:14.000 there are some of these retailers and not necessarily the 2403 02:11:14.079 --> 02:11:16.479 faults of the retailers. So some of these producers that 2404 02:11:16.600 --> 02:11:19.760 are selling these products labeled as Delta eight and they're 2405 02:11:20.119 --> 02:11:23.600 just not there's probably excess excess marijuana from another state 2406 02:11:23.640 --> 02:11:26.399 that they process and pass off because they can sell 2407 02:11:26.439 --> 02:11:29.680 it to a much larger market outside of dispensaries. So 2408 02:11:29.800 --> 02:11:31.920 I think number one something that we need to do 2409 02:11:32.039 --> 02:11:34.159 is make sure that whatever testing regime we include for 2410 02:11:34.239 --> 02:11:37.359 these tent products is to be able to ensure that 2411 02:11:37.439 --> 02:11:40.199 these are in fact have derived THHD products and not 2412 02:11:40.520 --> 02:11:43.520 marijuana prepackaged or a different label. So that's one of 2413 02:11:43.560 --> 02:11:45.199 the things that I've been pushing for. I don't think 2414 02:11:45.239 --> 02:11:47.920 there's a whole lot of opposition of that. It's just 2415 02:11:47.960 --> 02:11:50.000 a matter of, you know, what does the retail regime 2416 02:11:50.079 --> 02:11:52.399 look like and how burdens them is this regular regime 2417 02:11:52.479 --> 02:11:53.920 going to be and you know, we still want to 2418 02:11:53.920 --> 02:11:55.840 make sure that we're allowing these people to stay in 2419 02:11:55.920 --> 02:11:58.680 business with just you know, the common sense guardrails we 2420 02:11:58.720 --> 02:12:00.680 all agree on. Kids should be able to buy it, 2421 02:12:01.319 --> 02:12:02.760 you know, maybe you shouldn't be able to go into 2422 02:12:02.760 --> 02:12:04.439 a gas station and buy a pre roll joint or 2423 02:12:04.479 --> 02:12:08.119 something and things like that. Maybe that's the starting point 2424 02:12:08.199 --> 02:12:09.960 and the common ground that we all have. But there's 2425 02:12:09.960 --> 02:12:12.119 a lot more to it and secate tricky issue. 2426 02:12:12.399 --> 02:12:14.920 So much and so much more as being learned each 2427 02:12:14.960 --> 02:12:17.960 and every day about marijuana it's impact on society. Is 2428 02:12:18.039 --> 02:12:21.279 it really less harmful than alcohol? Because every time we 2429 02:12:21.319 --> 02:12:23.760 have a discussion like this, text Fisher, I just kept 2430 02:12:23.800 --> 02:12:26.560 thinking of alcohol. Hell, you can go literally anywhere and 2431 02:12:26.640 --> 02:12:28.960 not literally, but there's beer is for sale, wine is 2432 02:12:29.039 --> 02:12:30.800 for sale all over the place. They do it in 2433 02:12:30.880 --> 02:12:33.000 convenience stores, they do it in you know, liquor stores. 2434 02:12:33.039 --> 02:12:36.000 It's like, well, if you can manage, that's why is 2435 02:12:36.039 --> 02:12:38.720 this so extra complicated? It doesn't seem like it should be. 2436 02:12:39.199 --> 02:12:40.720 I got a real quick for part coming to day, 2437 02:12:40.720 --> 02:12:45.760 text Fisher. The tax revenue was specifically defined and broken 2438 02:12:45.840 --> 02:12:48.239 up to four different categories. Where the money goes, right, 2439 02:12:48.600 --> 02:12:53.359 Social Equity Fund, you know, to help people disproportionately impacted 2440 02:12:53.399 --> 02:12:57.479 by marijuana laws, to host cities that have dispensaries, the 2441 02:12:57.520 --> 02:13:00.640 state's Mental and Addiction Service Department, and three percent goes 2442 02:13:00.640 --> 02:13:03.399 to the state's Cannabis Control Department. Is there an effort 2443 02:13:03.479 --> 02:13:06.880 to change that where the tax dollars the generated dollars 2444 02:13:07.000 --> 02:13:08.960 go or is that going to stay the way it 2445 02:13:09.039 --> 02:13:09.600 is in the law. 2446 02:13:11.119 --> 02:13:13.760 So the tax dollar, the tax dollar provisions, that was 2447 02:13:13.760 --> 02:13:16.840 another point of contention. I think the original bill as 2448 02:13:16.880 --> 02:13:21.479 introduced in the Senate would have removed any share for 2449 02:13:21.640 --> 02:13:25.960 local governments to the local communities that host these dispensaries, 2450 02:13:26.199 --> 02:13:29.159 to remove their stake in their tax revenue. So while 2451 02:13:29.199 --> 02:13:31.399 the rest of the categories this did get resolved in 2452 02:13:31.439 --> 02:13:35.279 the budget, we were thankfully able to retain that thirty 2453 02:13:35.319 --> 02:13:37.840 six percent for the host communities in perpetuity in the 2454 02:13:37.880 --> 02:13:40.920 operating budget, which was a big win for I think 2455 02:13:40.920 --> 02:13:44.039 a lot of us in the House that really felt 2456 02:13:44.079 --> 02:13:46.119 strongly that we shouldn't be taking these dollars away from 2457 02:13:46.159 --> 02:13:48.439 these local communities, and a lot of time and a 2458 02:13:48.479 --> 02:13:51.039 lot of senses, these folks agreed to have the dispensaries 2459 02:13:51.079 --> 02:13:52.560 on the sole condition of, well, we're going to get 2460 02:13:52.560 --> 02:13:53.920 revenue and that's going to be enough for us to 2461 02:13:53.960 --> 02:13:57.479 put the squad car or you know, another hire another firefighter, 2462 02:13:57.680 --> 02:14:00.479 real important stuff. But we were able to preserve that 2463 02:14:01.000 --> 02:14:02.720 the rest of the money moving forward will be just 2464 02:14:02.800 --> 02:14:05.079 directed in the state general revenue find but the local 2465 02:14:05.119 --> 02:14:06.800 dollars that was a big point of contention, and that 2466 02:14:06.920 --> 02:14:08.880 was another thing that I was fighting for and really 2467 02:14:08.920 --> 02:14:10.399 grateful a lot of the other folks in the house 2468 02:14:11.000 --> 02:14:12.159 we're able to get that done for us. 2469 02:14:12.479 --> 02:14:15.079 Date reversenter tex Fisher. That makes perfect sense. Hey, the 2470 02:14:15.159 --> 02:14:17.479 reason we have a dispensary in our neighborhood is because 2471 02:14:17.479 --> 02:14:20.000 we were promised thirty six percent of the revenue.
