Speaker 1: Your summer pocket knife of information. That's the only way
Speaker 1: to stay in for him.
Speaker 2: Fifty five KRC, the Talk Station, five O five.
Speaker 1: It's five k r C the talk Station. Happy Monday, some.
Speaker 3: Day will.
Speaker 1: A vacation. Yes, indeed, happy Monday. As I just said,
Speaker 1: Bryan Thomas right here, glad to be and uh sorry,
Speaker 1: Joe Rucker's not in. Today's taking a day off mental
Speaker 1: health day or something along those lines. But we're in
Speaker 1: good hands. Sean McMahon sitting there where Joe normally Sits
Speaker 1: good to see if Sean always do a great job.
Speaker 1: And I appreciate you covering for Joseph and getting out
Speaker 1: of bed really really, really really early to do it.
Speaker 1: I love hearing from you folks. Five one, three, seven, four,
Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three,
Speaker 1: Taco Town five fifty on AT and T Funds. Got
Speaker 1: subject matter you want to talk about, feel free to
Speaker 1: give me a ring and I meantime, what's going on
Speaker 1: this morning on the fifty five Cascene Morning Show, of course,
Speaker 1: it's Monday seven to twenty. Every Monday, we hear from
Speaker 1: former Vice Mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smith.
Speaker 1: Aman and what we call the smither vent plenty of
Speaker 1: shootings to talk about. Not sure if that's the direction
Speaker 1: we're going to go. Stuck on crime of late, we
Speaker 1: have been with Christopher Smithman, but it's a big problem
Speaker 1: in downtown Cincinnati, as you full well know, at least
Speaker 1: I'm sure you know. Money money with Brian James every
Speaker 1: Monday at eight oh five get the low down from
Speaker 1: all Worth Financials. Brian James going to do that today
Speaker 1: again eight oh five for that. And finally tex Fisher
Speaker 1: State Representative here in the state of Ohio, one of
Speaker 1: a couple of Republicans sort of going after the Republican
Speaker 1: efforts in Columbus to pair back issue too, which is
Speaker 1: the yes vote. Fifty seven percent of a Highlands voted
Speaker 1: yes to legalize recreation marijuana in the state of Ohio.
Speaker 1: But since then a lot of folks in the Republican
Speaker 1: Party have been trying to change the law, which some
Speaker 1: are in favor of in others are not. And more
Speaker 1: and more information comes out each and every day about
Speaker 1: the dangers of marijuana. And maybe it was a ready
Speaker 1: fire aim thing in so far as embracing medical marijuana.
Speaker 1: Of course, the push for legalized marijuana. You draw your
Speaker 1: own conclusions, and nobody's making anyone smoke it. I mean,
Speaker 1: you aren't being drug into a dispensary and forced to
Speaker 1: buy something and then being forced home to indulge in it.
Speaker 1: And I appreciate the practical ramifications of its sort of
Speaker 1: being normalized. You normalize something, and more and more people
Speaker 1: are going to try it. So a statistic out of California,
Speaker 1: they are they twenty percent of adults in California smoke weed,
Speaker 1: up substantially from the pre legalization days. But it's been
Speaker 1: legal in California for a long time, and many sociologists
Speaker 1: and medical experts and others are now stepping up saying, hey,
Speaker 1: this is a real big problem psychosis and you know
Speaker 1: other vitro kind of things. It impacts your babies development,
Speaker 1: and listen, it's worth looking into before we start firing
Speaker 1: it out. Take a look at it. But in so
Speaker 1: far as legalut in the state of Ohio, at least,
Speaker 1: tex Fisher is trying to protect it and not put
Speaker 1: any further limitations on the use in Ohio, thumbing our
Speaker 1: nose in the face of the voters. I think that
Speaker 1: should be a non starter for a lot of people
Speaker 1: quoted as saying, I have Capital Journal reporting on that. Also,
Speaker 1: along with State Representative Jamie Calendar, a Republican from Concord,
Speaker 1: they've joined forces to prevent the Senates proposed changes to
Speaker 1: issue too. They've been trying to compromise on multiple different
Speaker 1: bills that are flowing around up there. Senates proposal decreases
Speaker 1: THC content, reduces the home growing from twelve plants to
Speaker 1: six plants. There's still a ton of weed, imposes more
Speaker 1: criminal penalties, and takes away tax money from local municipalities
Speaker 1: that have dispensaries. The House latest version had none of
Speaker 1: those provisions. So anyway, texts he'll join the programm at
Speaker 1: forty to give us his perspective on marijuana in the
Speaker 1: state of Ohio. So there as your rundown this morning.
Speaker 1: See what else is going on? Moving away here? I'm puzzled.
Speaker 1: I know there's this big brew haha. FBI Director Cash
Speaker 1: Mattel and Pambondi, among others, and deputy FBI Deputy Director
Speaker 1: Dan Bongino all sort of Bongino clashing with Attorney General
Speaker 1: Pambondi over her conclusion that there's nothing to see there
Speaker 1: ins far as the Epstein files are concerned. Now we
Speaker 1: all know time after time after time, many of these
Speaker 1: people who are now saying the Epstein files don't show
Speaker 1: anything except downloads from Epstein of a pornographic material that
Speaker 1: constitutes well, child porn. Therefore, we're not going to see it,
Speaker 1: nor should any nobody ever want to see it. But
Speaker 1: is there anything else in there? After years of being
Speaker 1: told that there's something there, there is there there and
Speaker 1: all the conspiracy theories floating around that he actually killed
Speaker 1: himself or didn't kill himself as the case. Maybe we
Speaker 1: got the videotape release. Now it's got that little glitch
Speaker 1: at midnight, and that's been explained away by the FBI.
Speaker 1: But some people don't buy that. They say it's been
Speaker 1: altered or edited. Every time I read a story about that,
Speaker 1: I think about, well, these are modern times. No one
Speaker 1: is going to believe anything they see, especially something that
Speaker 1: has been so prominent in terms of well an issue.
Speaker 1: People talk about what did this guy do? Who did
Speaker 1: he have the goods on? Why did so many noted
Speaker 1: notables and wealthy millionaires and political elite hang out with
Speaker 1: this guy? How did he end up getting elevated to
Speaker 1: this lofty position that he came to apparently started out
Speaker 1: as a math teacher with no college degree. So and
Speaker 1: there's conspiracy now if the CIA had something to do
Speaker 1: with it, or maybe the Israeli Mosad, they were using
Speaker 1: him to get information all these powerful people, I guess
Speaker 1: for blackmail purposes. I mean, that's just it goes on
Speaker 1: and on and on, and while the Trump administration is
Speaker 1: trying to back away from this, and Donald Trump's getting
Speaker 1: angry or and angry in his outlawed statements about people
Speaker 1: continuing continuing to ask questions about the nature of this
Speaker 1: non disclosure and whether or not something is being hidden. Now,
Speaker 1: retired Lieutenant General Mike flem Trump's National security advisor or
Speaker 1: in the first administration, had this to say, at real,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, please understand the Epstein affair is not going away.
Speaker 1: The administration doesn't address this massive number of unanswered questions
Speaker 1: about Epstein, especially the abuse of children by elites. It
Speaker 1: is very clear that abuse occurred, then moving forward on
Speaker 1: so many other monumental challenges our nation is facing becomes
Speaker 1: much harder. I think that's a fairly accurate assessment of things.
Speaker 1: And if abuse actually has occurred, and he's very prominent
Speaker 1: in his conclusion quote, it is very clear that abuse
Speaker 1: occurred that should be prosecuted. Of course, I have embraced
Speaker 1: the idea of going after pedophiles. But anyway, over the weekend,
Speaker 1: what Trump took to social media truth social media, of course,
Speaker 1: endorsing Bondi, and of course the position that there's nothing
Speaker 1: to see there. He killed himself and there is no
Speaker 1: clientless of fundamentally boiled down what her announcement said from
Speaker 1: a week or so ago, he writes, what's going on
Speaker 1: with my boys? In some cases gals, they're all going
Speaker 1: after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who's doing a fantastic job.
Speaker 1: We're on one team, MAGA, and I don't like what's happening.
Speaker 1: He also previously for Epstein, the guy who never dies.
Speaker 1: For years, it's Epstein, over and over again. He lamented
Speaker 1: that the other day, Trump question why people were giving
Speaker 1: publicity to file And here's where I'm really puzzled, folks,
Speaker 1: and kind of looking for your sort of thoughts on this.
Speaker 1: Trump questioned why people or in his words quote giving
Speaker 1: publicity to files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, call me
Speaker 1: Brennan and the losers and criminals of the Biden administration,
Speaker 1: further stating, and I'll quote, they created the Epstein files,
Speaker 1: just like they created the fake Hillary Clinton Christopher Steele
Speaker 1: dossier that they used on me. And now my so
Speaker 1: called friends are playing right into their hands. Why didn't
Speaker 1: these radical left lunatics release the Epstein files? If there
Speaker 1: was anything in there that could have hurt the mag
Speaker 1: of movement, why didn't they use it? Well, okay, that's
Speaker 1: a legitimate question. Maybe they couldn't use it because they're
Speaker 1: implicated in the Epstein files. But the idea that he
Speaker 1: is now saying that the Democrats created them, I mean,
Speaker 1: Epstein's been a law enforcement radar since he was convicted
Speaker 1: of pedophilia back in two thousand and eight, procuring underage
Speaker 1: girls for prostitution. And of course we all know about
Speaker 1: Pedophile Island, we all know about what happened since then.
Speaker 1: We all know about just Laine Maxwell and what she
Speaker 1: was doing. She's been convicted. So I don't know that
Speaker 1: this is some you know, whole cloth Democrat creation like
Speaker 1: the Steele dossier. But if they created the Epstein files
Speaker 1: in an effort to somehow harm Donald Trump, why didn't
Speaker 1: they release the Epstein files? It seems like he's trying
Speaker 1: to talk out of both sides of his mouth on
Speaker 1: this one. They created them for the purpose of dividing us,
Speaker 1: and here we are, you know, taking the bait and
Speaker 1: stirring the pod of conspiracy theories you're making all you,
Speaker 1: my conservative maggot loving friends, are all making arguments that
Speaker 1: this stuff should be further released. And there's more there
Speaker 1: than meets the eye. You're playing right into the Democrats hands.
Speaker 1: I don't understand how you reconcile that, because I think
Speaker 1: it's pretty easy to conclude if there was something that
Speaker 1: was really devastating to Donald Trump in the eb Stein
Speaker 1: files and whatever is among those documents. Biden was just
Speaker 1: recently president, he was in charge of him, He had
Speaker 1: the files on his decks metaphorically, was his Justice Department
Speaker 1: in his FBI that had the information now in the
Speaker 1: hands of Pam Bondy. Don't you think it would have
Speaker 1: been leaked? Yeah, And you know the conclusion by Bondi
Speaker 1: is it was just downloaded porn. There is no client list,
Speaker 1: and the video evidence confirms that Epstein killed himself because
Speaker 1: nobody else was around. There's no mention in there of
Speaker 1: these being whole cloth creations by the Democrats or anybody else.
Speaker 1: Bondi did not conclude that the files were made up.
Speaker 1: There was nothing in her announcement that said anything of
Speaker 1: the of the sort. But that's what Trump is now saying,
Speaker 1: and I just don't understand it. Let Pam Bondi do
Speaker 1: her job. He wrote, She's great. Twenty twenty election was
Speaker 1: rigged and stolen, and they tried to do the same
Speaker 1: thing in twenty twenty four. That's what she's looking into,
Speaker 1: is ag and much more. And of course a suggestion
Speaker 1: that you know, don't focus on Epstein document's focus on
Speaker 1: the other more important things like the stolen twenty twenty election.
Speaker 1: So I think that Bondi can handle more than one
Speaker 1: issue on her plate. I think she's got enough minions
Speaker 1: working for her that she can handle more than one matter.
Speaker 1: We all know that, that, of course is the case.
Speaker 1: They got a lot on their plate in that role.
Speaker 1: But anyway, this is all on the heels of so
Speaker 1: many statements by the same folks that there was something there.
Speaker 1: Cash Bettel back in twenty twenty three talking to Benny Johnson,
Speaker 1: of course, before he came FBI director in a Trump
Speaker 1: second administration, the Republicans at the time could easily obtain
Speaker 1: the alleged client list with a subpoena, adding in another
Speaker 1: interview that same year that Trump should quote roll out
Speaker 1: the black book close quote containing Epstein's alleged client list
Speaker 1: on day one. Then during his Senate confirmation hearing, he
Speaker 1: said he would assist lawmakers in investigating Epstein's alleged web
Speaker 1: of the world's elite involved in sex crimes. Quote. Child
Speaker 1: sex trafficking has no place in the United States, he said,
Speaker 1: and I will do everything, if confirmed as FBI director,
Speaker 1: to make sure the American public knows the full weight
Speaker 1: of what happened in the past and how we're going
Speaker 1: to counterman missing children and exploited children going forward. Then,
Speaker 1: over the weekend, in what appears to be a radical
Speaker 1: change of heart, posted on x that the conspiracy theories
Speaker 1: weren't and have never been true. To note that was
Speaker 1: not clear whether he was referred to Epstein the records
Speaker 1: as Donald Trump suggested that these were not true, that
Speaker 1: these are all whole cloth made up by the Democrats,
Speaker 1: or to the reports that he intended to step down
Speaker 1: if Bongino did. Because there is that rumors swirling around
Speaker 1: there as well, So we're left to kind of guess
Speaker 1: on what Pattel meant over the weekend. But it seems
Speaker 1: to me he's stepping in the same direction as Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: There's nothing to see here, Ignore it, go away. You're
Speaker 1: playing into their hands, and quite honestly, I don't see
Speaker 1: how that is actually the case. Five eighteen Right now,
Speaker 1: fifty five KRCIT Talk Station, feel free to chime in
Speaker 1: five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty, five hundred, eight
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two to three Talk found five fifty
Speaker 1: on AT and T Funds. I'll be right back after
Speaker 1: these brief words. Five twenty one if the five kr
Speaker 1: CD talk station, Happy Monday, Smither Event, Monday Money Monday
Speaker 1: with Brian James and let us see here. Libel and
Speaker 1: slander per se? Can you say something about someone, and
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to public figure's got a pretty
Speaker 1: wide leeway out of the New York Time standard. Public
Speaker 1: figures have access to rebut some pretty damaging statements, But
Speaker 1: it isn't a complete blanket of immunity to those who
Speaker 1: make the bad statement. Slander per se involves a false
Speaker 1: statement pertaining to multiple categories. It's four specific categories, but
Speaker 1: statements that allege a crime has been committed. You can't
Speaker 1: go running around telling people that someone else has committed
Speaker 1: a crime unless it's true. But it's considered bible or slander,
Speaker 1: depending on whether it's written or stated per se. You
Speaker 1: are presumed to have damaged that person's integrity and reputation
Speaker 1: unless you, as the person making the statement, can prove
Speaker 1: that you are right that the statement you made was true.
Speaker 1: So pivoting over to a real life an illustration of
Speaker 1: this New York Representative Alexandrio Casio Cortez AOC being accused
Speaker 1: of defaming Trump. She called him a rapist. Wow quote
Speaker 1: this is a quote quote Wow. Who would have thought
Speaker 1: that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of
Speaker 1: the Epstein files? This in an ex post on Friday. Well,
Speaker 1: the problem for AOC is Trump was not found guilty
Speaker 1: of rape. Was a civil trial filed against Trump by
Speaker 1: writer E. Gen Carroll. The jury found Trump libel for
Speaker 1: sexual assault, but not rape. Rape of course the crime,
Speaker 1: and Trump has never been found guilty of rape. So
Speaker 1: many are calling for the President to sue AOC and
Speaker 1: in some of the wards at least one. Phil Holloway
Speaker 1: legal analysts into bankruptcy. The president should sue AOC into bankruptcy.
Speaker 1: I realize she's trying to raise her profile, but this
Speaker 1: is way way too far, h Bill Mitchell, your always host.
Speaker 1: We will have grounds for a huge defamation suit here,
Speaker 1: you idiot, because Donald Trump has never been indicted for rape,
Speaker 1: much less convicted one other account post. You realize your
Speaker 1: ex account doesn't carry the same protections to the fame
Speaker 1: people that you enjoyed during a congressional proceeding and current
Speaker 1: congressional proceedings, So she may have a problem on her hands.
Speaker 1: From the standpoint, I know there's been a lot of
Speaker 1: litigation over news outlets, misreporting and outright line. Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: been kind of successful of late in his actions against
Speaker 1: those folks who would malign the president otherwise twist data
Speaker 1: and information to benefit the left. We know what the
Speaker 1: median narrative is, but when you're in per se categories,
Speaker 1: there's not a whole lot left you need to prove.
Speaker 1: Was Donald Trump ever indicted or convicted of rape? That
Speaker 1: is an absolute no. She does not have the so
Speaker 1: called truth to raise in defense of a suit. This
Speaker 1: looks like a pretty much of a laydown, So keep
Speaker 1: your popcorn out on that one. For those who are
Speaker 1: not fans of AOC, and count me among those folks.
Speaker 1: I think this could be rather interesting there, he goes,
Speaker 1: don no doubt about it. Five one three seven fifty
Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three doc on five
Speaker 1: fifty on eighteen T phone another phone number you need
Speaker 1: to call for a free quote. You can either go
Speaker 1: to the website or call it the phone number. It's
Speaker 1: Rhino Shield five twenty nine. I'll try to make it
Speaker 1: happy Monday. Five one three seven fifty five hundred eight
Speaker 1: hundred two three talk to local stories. But I see
Speaker 1: Tom is on the line. Tom good to hear from
Speaker 1: me this morning. Welcome to the work week.
Speaker 4: Hey, good morning. Maybe AOC is not sure how to
Speaker 4: handle it. Maybe Mike the line could put together a
Speaker 4: work trip to figure it out for.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like he used for the property taxes. Geez.
Speaker 4: I got to over the weekend. I got to jump
Speaker 4: on your iHeart podcasting and listen to some of your
Speaker 4: some of your stuff from last week. I only get
Speaker 4: I only get like a half hour, like right now
Speaker 4: on my way to work, and then if I want
Speaker 4: to listen anymore, I got to get on that podcast.
Speaker 4: So that works out great. And I listened to you
Speaker 4: and your your guests you had on the Friday, uh
Speaker 4: talking about that he's a big the wine fan, isn't he?
Speaker 3: A Yeah?
Speaker 4: I love it. I'm sure this is old news out
Speaker 4: but I still love the still makes me chuckle when
Speaker 4: he calls it the back in COVID it was the
Speaker 4: two o'clock wine with the wine that was pretty funny. Yeah,
Speaker 4: good stuff, but yeah, I mean, I thank god that
Speaker 4: the wines winding down. He's gonna be gone here pretty
Speaker 4: soon because that that dude is it. I mean, there's
Speaker 4: there shouldn't be a R anywhere near his name. And
Speaker 4: then and and that's that same something because there's a
Speaker 4: lot of Republicans that are you know, we could call rhinos,
Speaker 4: but that guy takes the cake.
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't understand at all. How how uh? I mean,
Speaker 4: I guess we didn't have a better The only other
Speaker 4: choice was a Democrat, so we kind of had to
Speaker 4: go with him. But thankfully we're moving past this stage
Speaker 4: of of things in Ohio and we and you know,
Speaker 4: we're looking forward to the zek and then hopefully that
Speaker 4: works out as well as it seems to. But you know,
Speaker 4: this whole property tax thing and and the other thing
Speaker 4: with the library thing, I seemed like a no brain
Speaker 4: or slammed. Du't didn't it? Why why would you veto that?
Speaker 4: I hope these senators and representatives get back in there
Speaker 4: after the summer breaking and fix all this garbage, because
Speaker 4: that dude is just He's made about a bunch of
Speaker 4: a mess as a Democrat would make. So but here regardless,
Speaker 4: don't vote Democrat. Have a great Dame Brian.
Speaker 1: Thanks to appreciate it. Yeah, sometimes I want to. It's
Speaker 1: almost as if you want to carl into Mike Dwine's
Speaker 1: head just just sort of figure out what the hell
Speaker 1: he's thinking. Yeah, I mean he's own attorney general told
Speaker 1: to VT the six hundred million dollars going to the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. No, he didn't do that, but he vetoed
Speaker 1: did the three position of the three provisions that might
Speaker 1: have provided you and I some measure of property tax relief,
Speaker 1: which had been understudy for more than a year. They
Speaker 1: had studied this behind the scenes. Our elected officials looked
Speaker 1: into this, ge, how can we help out with the
Speaker 1: property tax situation? After giving it much thought and going
Speaker 1: over the pluses and minuses. That's how those three provisions
Speaker 1: ended up in the budget and only to have to
Speaker 1: Wine nix them. So they're gonna t those three up
Speaker 1: and try to vote to override his veto. Meanwhile, as
Speaker 1: Tom alluded to Governor to Wine now claims to be
Speaker 1: trying to take a stab at fixing the property problems
Speaker 1: in the state following the veto of those efforts to
Speaker 1: reform property taxes. He said, these vetos that does not
Speaker 1: lessen our obligation and does not lessen our obligation to
Speaker 1: deal with this problem. Governor now appointing two former legislators,
Speaker 1: Bill Sitz and Pat Tiberry to lead a new quote
Speaker 1: property tax Reform Work Group close quote described as a
Speaker 1: group to will deliver concrete proposals for meaningful tax relieved
Speaker 1: by the end of September, like the three that were
Speaker 1: in the budget bill. You know, something like that that
Speaker 1: had already been vetted. Apparently, the second group set up
Speaker 1: by state leaders to tackle this issue, Legislative Committee, already
Speaker 1: produced an eight hundred and sixty five page report last
Speaker 1: year with twenty one recommendations. Sadly, none of it made
Speaker 1: it through the legislature. So Dwine's on the case now,
Speaker 1: though seventeen year old girl taken to the hospital after
Speaker 1: a shooting or Curtain Clifton happened early yesterday morning. Courting
Speaker 1: to Lieutenant Jonathan Cunningham of the Sin Saint Police, he

Speaker 6: Starting.
Speaker 1: West Virginia. Couple there arrested after police pulled over there
Speaker 1: underscore stolen RV and found both the duo and the
Speaker 1: driver's seat totally nude having drunken sex. According to authorities,
Speaker 1: they pulled over Shannon Bryant thirty five and Matthew McDonald
Speaker 1: forty eight while they were driving through Bluefield, West Virginia.
Speaker 1: Happened last Wednesday. Cops pulled over the vehicle. They noticed
Speaker 1: that Brian was in the driver's seat, straddling McDonald. As
Speaker 1: the RV drove down the road. Police approached the driver's
Speaker 1: side window. McConnell was sitting innocently in the passenger seat
Speaker 1: as if nothing had occurred, but Brian, who appeared to
Speaker 1: be highly intoxicated words from the report, while sitting in
Speaker 1: the driver's seat, had apparently no shame, candidly telling the
Speaker 1: cops quote we were ffording close quote that according to
Speaker 1: office or R L Ham, Duo quickly ordered out of
Speaker 1: the vehicle Brian could delve. Before Brian could delve further
Speaker 1: into the details of their escapade, McDonald McDonald reportly confessed
Speaker 1: after the two were read their rights and said that
Speaker 1: they were naked and attempting to engage in sexual activity
Speaker 1: while driving. After when the police pulled them over, the
Speaker 1: pair scrambled into opposite seats. While the officers approached the
Speaker 1: RV and police searched the RV, they found drug paraphernalia inside,
Speaker 1: including a bag of white powder. Also recovered pain killers
Speaker 1: of broken glass pipe that Brian admitted McDonald had tossed
Speaker 1: out the window during the stop. Thank you Sean. A
Speaker 1: vehicle check using the V number and registration also revealed
Speaker 1: the RV turned love Shack had been stolen from Princeton,
Speaker 1: a city ten miles away. Naked do a charge with
Speaker 1: indecent exposure, drug possession, duy on possession of a stolen vehicle.
Speaker 1: According to the records obtained by the Smoking Gun reporting
Speaker 1: on this the couple pleaded not guilty, even though they
Speaker 1: admitted to doing all this stuff. McDonald has a prior
Speaker 1: criminal record, shocking and a warrenant out for his arrest
Speaker 1: in Taswell County, Virginia. According to court records, he's now
Speaker 1: being held an eight thousand dollars bond. Do you think
Speaker 1: they should have just pulled over Sean? That made it
Speaker 1: a lot easier, probably, and they probably would have gotten
Speaker 1: away with it. Loyal Stock, Township, Pennsylvania. Women call policemen
Speaker 1: shopping or front door, coming face to face with a

Speaker 1: nine to one moment because she was fearful for her safety.
Speaker 1: Police spoke with Zimmerman, who was sitting handcuffed on the ground.
Speaker 1: He smelled of alcohol, slurred his speech, and could not
Speaker 1: spell his own name. According to Trooper Burns, he called
Speaker 1: out for an unknown person even after Trips asked him
Speaker 1: to stop when the commotion ended. Police charge him with
Speaker 1: this orderly conduct, fighting and noise, pumplic drunkenness and loitering
Speaker 1: and prowing at night. No bail issued. Schedule. Appeared before
Speaker 1: judge on August eleventh for his preliminary hearing. I guess
Speaker 1: he'll keep him in the lock up until then. By
Speaker 1: forty five fifty five KR see the talk station. Let
Speaker 1: me mentioned five fifty to fifty five KRC the talk

Speaker 1: Plenty of opportunities to listen when you can't listen live
Speaker 1: back over to the stack of stupid. Thirty one year
Speaker 1: old Elmira Man arrested first week of July on suspicion
Speaker 1: of recording people in the nude without their knowledge. This
Speaker 1: during a setup of the Oregon County Fair in Vanata.
Speaker 1: Elijah David Russo, facing charge of first degree invasion of privacy,
Speaker 1: booked into Lane County Jail, released on the ninth of July,
Speaker 1: including conditions of release that he not returned to the
Speaker 1: fair grounds. Russou arrested during the fairs setup weekend, regard
Speaker 1: as a more relaxed environment for vendors, staff and volunteers
Speaker 1: who camp and work at the site before it officially
Speaker 1: opens up. They claimed that Russo was not an actual volunteer,
Speaker 1: but posed as one, wearing an Oregon County Fair shirt
Speaker 1: and helping out with the fair's flower crew. Allegations say
Speaker 1: he recorded more than thirty minutes of video at the ritz,
Speaker 1: which is described as the Fairs Communal shower area. Ruso
Speaker 1: accused of hiding a cell phone camera in a toiletre's
Speaker 1: caddie to record around twenty people, including a young girl
Speaker 1: who would prepared to be younger than ten years old,
Speaker 1: through the spaces in the basket. Court degumans say he
Speaker 1: admitted to filming people after being confronted by a fair
Speaker 1: worker who thought his behavior was odd and noticed that
Speaker 1: he had showered multiple times and was carrying the toilet
Speaker 1: tree caddy in what looked like a strategic position. Yeah
Speaker 1: search one'ff David said. Russo described the filming as a
Speaker 1: lapse of judgment, attributing his actions to curiosity, while admitting
Speaker 1: quote there could have been an element of arousal clothes
Speaker 1: quote gee you think. Also told police he was ware
Speaker 1: there were juveniles of the showers when he filmed, but
Speaker 1: it wasn't his intention to film him film them, even
Speaker 1: though apparently he did. Idiot Yeah. Public vender assigned to
Speaker 1: represent Rousseau, didn't return calls from the news outlets he
Speaker 1: can comment. Charge against Russo Class C felony in Oregon,
Speaker 1: which carries a maximum prison sentence of five years and
Speaker 1: a fine up to one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: One of volunteers there quoted as saying, I'll still go
Speaker 1: to the ritz and take a shower. If someone wants
Speaker 1: to see my fat butt. Good luck. That's a practical
Speaker 1: way of looking at it. Let us see here, helpless onlooker,
Speaker 1: powerless to stop a tourist from recklessly taking their toddler
Speaker 1: within feet of a bison at Yellowstone National Park, as
Speaker 1: bison can be very dangerous apparently. The independent report of
Speaker 1: the experience of Jennifer Gunderson, retired professional photographer who witnessed
Speaker 1: this event and posted a video of it on her Instagram,
Speaker 1: of course, shows a woman and a toddler wandering within
Speaker 1: close range of the massive grazing bison. The adult isn't
Speaker 1: holding the toddler's hand as it gets dangerously close to
Speaker 1: the animal. Another adult in child combo comes closer as
Speaker 1: well as the video continues. According to Gunderson, to film
Speaker 1: that everyone including us, told them to get back before
Speaker 1: we started recording, described as correct advice. Yellowstone National Park
Speaker 1: rules suggests visitors day at least twenty five yards away
Speaker 1: from the animals, including bison oversolved. Tourists apparently paid the
Speaker 1: price for breaking the guidelines, even if the bisons quite
Speaker 1: often appear to be docile. We have watched and followed
Speaker 1: the tourists of Yellowstone Instagram account and shaking our heads
Speaker 1: at some of the things posted. Gunderson said, never in
Speaker 1: our wildest dreams will we witness it in person. Animals
Speaker 1: that are provoked by visitors and attacked in response could
Speaker 1: be euthanized, even if the interaction wasn't of their choosing.
Speaker 1: So you're putting the animals life in jeopardy as well
Speaker 1: as your own toddler's life. Idiots doing idiot things because
Speaker 1: they're idiots. That Boill sums up that one up quite nicely.
Speaker 1: Let me talk about the six o'clock hour. Feel free
Speaker 1: to give me a call. I guess we're sending Patriot
Speaker 1: missiles to Ukraine. Will that do anything to stop six
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty swarmed drones coming at one time? How
Speaker 1: much of those Patriot missile systems cost per missile? Let's
Speaker 1: contemplate that one anyway. A hold on more coming up.
Speaker 1: I appreciate your calls, feel free to give me a
Speaker 1: ring beyond that, I will be back after the news. Hey,
Speaker 1: six oh five fifty five care see talk station by
Speaker 1: Thomas right here, wishing everyone a very appy Monday. Try
Speaker 1: to make it so anyway. Sean McMann covering for the

Speaker 1: Let's see here coming up Smith Event seven to twenty.
Speaker 1: Every Monday, we hear from the former Vice Mayor of
Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati today, consistent with the norm again
Speaker 1: as always, don't know what he wants to talk about today,
Speaker 1: but of course a lot of crime to report over
Speaker 1: the weekends. Sad, sad state of affairs going on in
Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati. Sure if that's where he wants
Speaker 1: to go, but it's his prerogative. It is his segment
Speaker 1: Money Monday with Brian James thanks to our financial loan
Speaker 1: and amount. Every monda at eight oh five don't know
Speaker 1: about the topics today. Didn't get those again with Joe
Speaker 1: Strekker on vacation, little wrinkle, but I'm sure we'll manage
Speaker 1: with Brian James as we always do it. Eight oh five.
Speaker 1: Then we're going to be hearing from Tech's Fisher. He's
Speaker 1: a state representative here in Ohio trying to stop the
Speaker 1: Republicans from well cutting into the legality of marijuana in
Speaker 1: the state of Ohio to boil the subject matter down.
Speaker 1: Of course, we all voted to legalize it fairly significant, overwhelming.
Speaker 1: He's like fifty seven percent of folks who voted said yes,
Speaker 1: legalize it, and then began the discussion about how we
Speaker 1: could pair how the legality of marijuana could be paired back.
Speaker 1: Of course, because it didn't amend the constitution, the elected
Speaker 1: officials in Ohio are allowed to amend it and pass
Speaker 1: legislation pairing back your availability, like, for example, the number
Speaker 1: of plants that could be grown. Senate proposal wants to
Speaker 1: pair that back from twelve the sixth per household just
Speaker 1: one of the many changes that tex Fissure is fighting.
Speaker 1: So he said, listen, Ohioans. One of this Ohioans deserve it,
Speaker 1: and we should not be messing around with it again.
Speaker 1: That's what's boiled down. Tex Fisial joined the program and
Speaker 1: put some flesh on the bones of my boiled down
Speaker 1: analysis there at eight forty. So let's see the background. Okay,
Speaker 1: you heard last week we're going to start sending Patriot
Speaker 1: missile systems to Ukraine. Over the weekend, Russia fired more
Speaker 1: than six hundred and twenty drones and long range missiles
Speaker 1: into Ukraine, killing apparently at least six people. Ukrainian President
Speaker 1: Zelenski the Russians continue to use their specific tactics of
Speaker 1: terror against our country, striking concentrated blows in one city
Speaker 1: or another, at one region or another. Twenty six cruise missiles,
Speaker 1: five hundred and ninety seven attack drones were launched, of
Speaker 1: which more than half or the shah heads type of
Speaker 1: a missile or drones the case, maybe those are the
Speaker 1: Iranian made drones that Russia is buying thousands and thousands
Speaker 1: of Ukrainian Air Force said that it had downed three
Speaker 1: hundred and nineteen of the drones and twenty five of
Speaker 1: the missiles. One missile and about twenty drones had hit
Speaker 1: five locations, so they did sneak through. And of course
Speaker 1: Zelunsky's screaming about getting more air defense systems. He wants
Speaker 1: more from the United States. He wants them from anybody
Speaker 1: that's going to give it to him, NATO, European Union countries.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump said he's going to do that. He's going
Speaker 1: to be a major announcement today. But yesterday he said
Speaker 1: the United States will be sending Patriot air defense systems
Speaker 1: to Ukraine. That although it wasn't described how, but he
Speaker 1: claimed the European Union was going to be paying for them.
Speaker 7: So.
Speaker 1: Ignoring who's paying for them, do you think it will work?
Speaker 1: And that's why I started out with the Predigate six
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty drones over one operation. It was Saturday night.
Speaker 1: I think it was announced over the weekend that this
Speaker 1: had happened. Now and there have been multiple articles. Most
Speaker 1: notably over the weekend there was a Wall Street Journal headline,
Speaker 1: never ending supply of drones has frozen the front lines
Speaker 1: in Ukraine. They talk about these various types of drones
Speaker 1: and how inexpensive They are two thousand dollars. Previously described
Speaker 1: over in Ukraine as a wedding drone. I guess people
Speaker 1: would buy them in order to get aerial shots of weddings.
Speaker 1: They have been repurposed to scan for enemy units and
Speaker 1: of course modified to allow the dropping of bombs like grenades.
Speaker 1: So for two thousand dollars you can well launch a drone.
Speaker 1: They say they're inexpensively inexpensively manufactured. Quite often they're made
Speaker 1: out of just wood. Then they have suicide drones as well,
Speaker 1: the first person view fpv E drones. You know, Ukraine's
Speaker 1: got four point five million of those produced. Now they
Speaker 1: don't have statistics for the Russian side of the equation,
Speaker 1: but you know, given that they regularly launch hundreds and
Speaker 1: hundreds of drones simultaneously and then also fire the missiles
Speaker 1: at the same time, obviously designed to distract, what do
Speaker 1: you got on the ground that can shoot them down.
Speaker 1: Russia has developed a special kind of drone that is
Speaker 1: a sort of a fly by wire. It's got a
Speaker 1: tether attached to it that allows them to circumvent the
Speaker 1: jamming devices that the Ukraines are using to sort of
Speaker 1: jam the communications with the drones. So if you've got
Speaker 1: direct connection to the drone itself with a fiber optic wire,
Speaker 1: you aren't worried about your communication being jammed. So the
Speaker 1: Russians are using those as well, but sending patriots over hm.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump said, it'll be business for US. I expose
Speaker 1: that means the military industrial complex business. It will be,
Speaker 1: of course business for American patriot manufacturers, he said, And
Speaker 1: we will send them patriots, which they desperately need. Because
Speaker 1: Putin really supplied prizes a lot of people. He talks
Speaker 1: nice and then he bombs everybody in the evening. There's
Speaker 1: a little bit of a problem there, and I don't
Speaker 1: like it. So didn't say how many Patriot air defense
Speaker 1: system he's going to be sending. Expected to meet with
Speaker 1: North Atlantic Treaty Organization Secretary General Mark Ruddy. Ruddy at
Speaker 1: the White House today to talk about that. Apparently Ukraine
Speaker 1: only has a handful of Patriot systems that we donated
Speaker 1: to them some other countries as well, and seeking more
Speaker 1: of them to fend off the escalating Russian attacks. Fine,
Speaker 1: do you know much a patriot missile system costs? The
Speaker 1: individual missile about four million dollars a pop. A full
Speaker 1: battery of Patriot. The whole missile system, including the missile launcher, radar,
Speaker 1: and other essential components, reportedly cost one point one billion dollars. Now,
Speaker 1: how many Patriot missiles must be used to fend off
Speaker 1: from a swarm attack of more than six hundred drones
Speaker 1: at the same time, How many four million dollar Patriot
Speaker 1: missiles do you have to launch into the air? Can
Speaker 1: you sustain the number of missiles that will be needed
Speaker 1: on regular attacks like these drone swarms that they're sending
Speaker 1: over there? And again, you got to remember the drone
Speaker 1: swarms are basically to deter and distract while the missiles
Speaker 1: hopefully make it through, at least hopefully from the mind
Speaker 1: of the Russians, And it's been regularly observed that's a
Speaker 1: real problem. Drones Russia is firing such huge numbers at
Speaker 1: Ukraine are slower and less powerful than conventional missiles, admittedly,
Speaker 1: but it's the sheer number of them saturating the skies
Speaker 1: and overwhelming the Ukrainian defense systems, which requires you Ukraine
Speaker 1: to use expensive interceptors to target these less expensive shah
Speaker 1: Heat or Juran drones, which depletes the defensive arsenal. Again,
Speaker 1: going back to the Patriot missile batteries at four million
Speaker 1: dollars a pop. One military expert reportedly it's in Fox News.
Speaker 1: Fabian Hoffmann, military technology expert at University of Oslo, speaking
Speaker 1: with Fox, He says Ukraine can adopt a strategy of
Speaker 1: hitting drone launch sites, target Rush's defense industries factories that
Speaker 1: produce the component parts for the parts for the drones
Speaker 1: and explosives, computer chips and other advanced electronics. But trying
Speaker 1: to deal his quote, trying to deal with the drone
Speaker 1: attacks just using missile defenses is a losing gain. Europeans
Speaker 1: are heavily bolstering air missile defense capabilities, but it is
Speaker 1: not enough, he said. Russia is expanding its offensive capabilities faster,
Speaker 1: and offensive weapons are cheaper to produce than defensive Yeah,
Speaker 1: the nature of battle has certainly changed, has it not.
Speaker 1: But I'm not sure that Patriot missiles are the answer
Speaker 1: to this problem. I know Trump is trying to get
Speaker 1: Russia to the table to renounce some sort of ceasefire
Speaker 1: or negotiate some measure of peace between the two countries. Russia,
Speaker 1: as he indicated, doesn't seem really willing to want to
Speaker 1: do anything serious about that they talk a good game
Speaker 1: during the day and then overnight launch swarms of drones
Speaker 1: at Ukraine, various cities and most notably non military targets
Speaker 1: being hit regularly as well. Charlie Foxtrot, folks, It's all
Speaker 1: I can conclude. Let's see what Bobby's got on the
Speaker 1: subject this morning, Bobby, thanks for calling it a Happy
Speaker 1: Monday to you, my friend.
Speaker 6: Happy Monday, Mike, praying, keep pulling that torture freedom high.
Speaker 1: I'm bright trying to figure it out, Bobby, trying to
Speaker 1: figure it out.
Speaker 6: Hey, with all the violence that we're having locally here
Speaker 6: in the Cincinnati the area, do you think they could
Speaker 6: kind of get that skateboard park in Washington Park going
Speaker 6: on a little bit, Master, It's only a million and
Speaker 6: a half dollars are.
Speaker 1: Going to pend, you know, and that'll stop it.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I'm just wondering how many people from outside the
Speaker 6: Washington Park area will be going to skate park.
Speaker 1: I'm willing to venture very few, slim to none. How
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 6: I handed it. I handed capped to ten people in
Speaker 6: six months, so that's not too bad.
Speaker 1: Let's see if your numbers bear that out, Bobby.
Speaker 4: I have a good day.
Speaker 1: But I do say, my friend six fifteen fifty five
Speaker 1: KR seedy talk station, you can feel free to call
Speaker 1: as well a six twenty year if the five PRCZ
Speaker 1: talk station five going three seven eight hundred eight two
Speaker 1: three talko ton fact fifty on eight and find a
Speaker 1: wonderful weekend. Ah, not going well for Democrats. Get another
Speaker 1: pole out And yes, I understand, we all know how
Speaker 1: we appreciate poles. But this is a Democrat super pack
Speaker 1: run poll. It's called by It was done by Unite
Speaker 1: the Country, conducted between May and June, so Democratic super pack.
Speaker 1: So you would figure there's to be Democrat leaning and
Speaker 1: that the outcomes and the answers would be skewed to
Speaker 1: favor the Democrats. But there's no hiding what the Democrats
Speaker 1: find themselves facing this pole. Boiled down show voters precede
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party as quote out of touch, close quote
Speaker 1: woke and weak. Party apparently seen its support a road
Speaker 1: with white men, Hispanic men, and working class voters. Oh
Speaker 1: the former, you know, sweet spot for the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1: Approval ratings below thirty five percent among white men and
Speaker 1: Hispanic men and working class voters generally, and enthusiasm apparently
Speaker 1: down since the big loss last year. In November, Democratic
Speaker 1: strategist Rodell MULLINEU, it's the senior advisor with this Democrat
Speaker 1: superPAC quote. This is the reality of the perception of
Speaker 1: us as a party, and until we accept that, it's
Speaker 1: going to be hard to move forward. There's a perception
Speaker 1: out there outside of Democratic elites, and it's taken hold
Speaker 1: in not just the MAGA crowd, but people that should
Speaker 1: be with us, i e. Democrats, He said, Democrats need
Speaker 1: to realize that in order to improve and get better
Speaker 1: to not only win in twenty twenty eight, but to
Speaker 1: win in twenty thirty and twenty thirty two and beyond,
Speaker 1: Democrats need to realize that in order to improve and
Speaker 1: get better to not only win in twenty eight. I
Speaker 1: don't even know what that means. What, okay, what is
Speaker 1: specifically improvement? How are you going to make things better
Speaker 1: for the Democrats? Doesn't mean issues and arguments and pleas
Speaker 1: to the American people that resonate This on the heels
Speaker 1: of a recent ap North Pole out in May showing
Speaker 1: only thirty five percent of survey Democrats are optimistic about
Speaker 1: the party's future. Fifty seven percent were optimistic in July
Speaker 1: of last year, so they've had a precipitous drop. Apparently
Speaker 1: donors and bundlers are not writing checks for the Democrats
Speaker 1: unite the country again. This super packed Democrat poll conducted
Speaker 1: with voters in twenty one battleground counties across ten states,
Speaker 1: revealing that Democrats have not escaped the shadow of their
Speaker 1: loss in twenty twenty four. Voters perceptions of the party
Speaker 1: remained the same. Democrats have had opportunities that's written here
Speaker 1: to hit back a Trump administration, including on tariffs, immigration deportations,
Speaker 1: and recently the Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. But pause and
Speaker 1: think about those as topics, most notably immigration deportations, polling
Speaker 1: very successfully for the Republicans side of the ledger, not
Speaker 1: so for the Democrats. Democrats are struggling with the reality
Speaker 1: of what they had under the Biden administration was one big,
Speaker 1: beautiful open border with millions of folks coming into our country,
Speaker 1: overwhelming resources and cities, and creating all the problems that
Speaker 1: have been created, including crime. That's not a winner on them.
Speaker 1: How could they turn that into a winning argument they're trying.
Speaker 1: You got all these left winging radicals going after ice
Speaker 1: agents who are merely trying to do their job and
Speaker 1: enforce America's immigration laws, laws that are on the books.
Speaker 1: And when you poll the American people, the American people
Speaker 1: are behind the efforts of ICE, So they're not with
Speaker 1: the protesters who are well engaging in violent and dangerous
Speaker 1: conduct against our ICE agents. Steve Shale, democratic strategists and
Speaker 1: CEO of the super Pack Unite the Country, I was
Speaker 1: frustrated during the one big Beautiful bill stuff we missed
Speaker 1: an opportunity to really define a different kind of vision. Really,
Speaker 1: why don't you out loud to find that what specifically
Speaker 1: should you have said during the discussion of the Big
Speaker 1: Beautiful Bill that would turn the Democrat Party in people's
Speaker 1: perception of it around. See, they're just they make these
Speaker 1: statements in an absolute factual vacuum. They don't have anything
Speaker 1: to run on. What they want to run on and
Speaker 1: have been emphasizing is not popular with the American people.
Speaker 1: That's that whole summary boil down position that they're out
Speaker 1: of touch, woke and weak woke doesn't work. It doesn't.
Speaker 1: Super PAC's poll revealed the Democrats prime emphasis fighting for democracy.
Speaker 1: While as popular as a phrase catchphrase within the Democratic Party,
Speaker 1: does it resonate with the general electorate. Nor does soft
Speaker 1: on immigration policy. It turns voters away, So no one's
Speaker 1: buying into you. Donald Trump is a threat to democracy.
Speaker 1: Claim you're on the wrong side of immigration, You're on
Speaker 1: the wrong side of women playing or men playing in
Speaker 1: women's sports. You're on the wrong side of the woke ideology.
Speaker 1: You're on the wrong side of literally almost every single
Speaker 1: popular policy position, at least among the Democrat elites in
Speaker 1: the party. So here's just one absolutely far left leaning
Speaker 1: poll confirming all that, yet coming up with absolutely nothing
Speaker 1: by way of solutions or suggestions for the Democrats. So
Speaker 1: enjoy it. I guess. I mean, I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: come up with strategies for the Democrats. But I mean,
Speaker 1: if what you're doing is literally failing before your very eyes,
Speaker 1: don't you think you may well take a play our
Speaker 1: page out of the other side's playbooks since the other
Speaker 1: side seems to be accomplishing its objectives the other side's
Speaker 1: presidential candidate. Excuse me, Donald Trump actually campaigned on what
Speaker 1: he's delivering, including the big Beautiful bill, and we voted
Speaker 1: for him to hopefully accomplish his campaign pledges. I guess
Speaker 1: the Democrats called that one wrong six twenty seven fifty
Speaker 1: five k seed fun on a Monday, that'd be Monday
Speaker 1: to five on three seven, nine to fifty five, two
Speaker 1: to three Talk down five fifty on AT and T
Speaker 1: phones and Brian James on the ball just sent in
Speaker 1: us a topic list for his points coming up from
Speaker 1: Money Monday at eighth five, including Fed's facing an epic
Speaker 1: conundrum in the second half, corne to economists, some of
Speaker 1: the tax breaks in the big beautiful bill smaller than
Speaker 1: you think, and uh see year inflation. Finally to suppose
Speaker 1: supposed to show a tariff related increase. The Fed still
Speaker 1: might cut interest rates anyway, which would come as probably
Speaker 1: good news to most folks out there, especially those looking
Speaker 1: them buy a home cutting into interest rates. Over local stories,
Speaker 1: Sin Saint Polase, investigating two separate shootings happened over responded
Speaker 1: about midnight to reports of at least one person shot
Speaker 1: in the seven hundred block of Dutch Colony Drive in

Speaker 1: can feel free to call five one, three, seven, four

Speaker 1: here the direction of the conversation. That's great with me.
Speaker 1: And coming off the heels of that poll that I mentioned,
Speaker 1: the Democratic super Pac poll again a Democrat leaning pole
Speaker 1: overseen by Democrats unite the country, showing that the Democrat
Speaker 1: Party is woke week and out of touch. So say
Speaker 1: it the Democrats that were polled. What do you do
Speaker 1: when you woke weekend out of touch? You go and
Speaker 1: attack people while they're enjoying themselves in their private lives.
Speaker 1: And this is part of a growing trend that I
Speaker 1: find very troubling, and I would not personally participate in
Speaker 1: going after my Democrat foes when they're gathering in private,
Speaker 1: when they were at their enjoying the comfort and solace
Speaker 1: of their own homes. I think it's offensive to go
Speaker 1: after them and they're off time. Personally, I wouldn't want
Speaker 1: it to happen to me, and I can't see that
Speaker 1: it will be a good thing happening to them, because
Speaker 1: then you know, get the argument to turn about's fair play.
Speaker 1: But if you have nothing to run on, you're on
Speaker 1: the wrong side of all the issues. I guess that's
Speaker 1: what you do, and you egg people on to do it.
Speaker 1: Enter Gavin Newsome, governor of the state of California, targeting
Speaker 1: Vice President J. D. Vance and his wife and children
Speaker 1: while they were visiting Disneyland. He shared a video a
Speaker 1: van and his family at Disneyland, saying, hope you enjoy
Speaker 1: your family time at JD. Vans. The families you're tearing
Speaker 1: apart certainly won't. Of course, there were protesters outside Disneyland
Speaker 1: protesting Vance and his family over Friday and Saturday because
Speaker 1: it had been widely reported the JD. Evans was enjoying
Speaker 1: some family time at Disneyland. So what do you do?
Speaker 1: You go after him? Do you feel sorry for the
Speaker 1: children on this? I appreciate the fact that a politician
Speaker 1: may invite this upon themselves because they run for politics
Speaker 1: and there are always somebody on the other side of
Speaker 1: the of the of the political ledger that doesn't like
Speaker 1: what they're doing. But again, this was a private visit.
Speaker 1: It had nothing to do with politics. He's taking his
Speaker 1: kids to Disneyland to enjoy a fun day at the park. So,
Speaker 1: in addition to Gavin knew some egging people on to attack.
Speaker 1: Basically fund I boil this down to attack a politician
Speaker 1: in the private time. Local Democrats also encouraging protests to
Speaker 1: tark Advance and his family over the weekend. Orange County
Speaker 1: Supervisor Vincente's armenia mento, I am offended by the visit
Speaker 1: because so many families are being terrorized by the politics
Speaker 1: or policies from the federal government. He's aferring, of course,
Speaker 1: to illegal immigrants, most notably criminal illegal immigrants who are
Speaker 1: being targeted by ICE for deportation from our country, again
Speaker 1: a policy widely popular in the American among the American people. So,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what you think about this,
Speaker 1: but we've had Supreme Court justices been attacked in their homes.
Speaker 1: We've had lives threatened on a daily basis. It's easy
Speaker 1: to do in a world full of social media. Of course,
Speaker 1: you can almost fully get away with it because of
Speaker 1: the you know, difficulties in identifying who any individual is
Speaker 1: making these outlandish and absurd threats against politicians and other
Speaker 1: elected officials and appointed officials. So I'm not sure necessarily
Speaker 1: how to deal with it, but I do not think
Speaker 1: it is an appropriate prudent thing for folks as high
Speaker 1: as Governor Gavin Knew some stature to encourage people to
Speaker 1: engage in this type of activity. This is an act
Speaker 1: of desperation, is what I view it as. So you're
Speaker 1: going to frighten, and I think this is the intended point.
Speaker 1: Like for example, if you threaten judges because of some
Speaker 1: ruling that you anticipate them making. Your hope is I
Speaker 1: suppose in threatening them, is you better come up with
Speaker 1: a different conclusion in that decision, or something is going
Speaker 1: to happen to you. You better change your policies relative
Speaker 1: to going after criminal illegal aliens in our country, or
Speaker 1: something is going to happen to you. We are going
Speaker 1: to protest to you. We are coming after your family,
Speaker 1: We are coming after you on vacation, which means you're
Speaker 1: not safe anywhere. And the message is coming through loud
Speaker 1: and clear. There's no question about it. Just wish the
Speaker 1: remorse responsible folks. Got I supposed of all political stripes
Speaker 1: not advocating for this type of behavior. No good can
Speaker 1: come of it. Six forty five ifty five care CUD

Speaker 1: to me? Just leave the mics off, you know, I
Speaker 1: have a conversation not on air, and just go back
Speaker 1: and forth talk about the troubles and trials and tribulations
Speaker 1: going on in the world. That makes for bad radio,
Speaker 1: I think I last time I checked.
Speaker 5: What do I know?
Speaker 1: Anybody listens the program knows. I'm a huge fan, a
Speaker 1: fan of Eveig Ramaswami. I'm looking forward having him as
Speaker 1: the next govern of the state of Ohio, who seems
Speaker 1: like he has a lock hate saying that out loud
Speaker 1: for fear that it may be jinx. I know, bad
Speaker 1: things can happen between now and the election, but he
Speaker 1: seems to have it, you know, I mean all of
Speaker 1: the major backers are going with Ramaswami. He's got tons
Speaker 1: of money coming into his political campaign. Not that that should,
Speaker 1: you know, stop you from making a donation as well.
Speaker 1: But the VVIKE super Pac is alive and well, and
Speaker 1: because one of the things he's running on is to
Speaker 1: grow business in the state of Ohio, he's off to
Speaker 1: New York, where he's gonna unveil a display add in
Speaker 1: Times Square today to suggest the New Yorkers it's time
Speaker 1: for them to leave New York and head to Ohio,
Speaker 1: paid for by v V super Pac visitor Victors not
Speaker 1: Victims supports Ramaswami's a good nottorial run as a Republican
Speaker 1: here in Ohio. The ad reportedly portrayed will portray Zarhan
Speaker 1: Mom Donnie the crazy Kami who won the Democratic primary
Speaker 1: for the city New York City, which has freaked out,
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of Democrats too. They're worried as long,
Speaker 1: I mean as much as they can be that this
Speaker 1: guy's going to be the next mayor of New York
Speaker 1: and if his policies are implemented, no one's going to
Speaker 1: want to remain in New York. Radical socialist. Apparently, the
Speaker 1: Ramaswami ad campaign will read ready to flee NYC. It'll
Speaker 1: show Ramaswami as someone protecting freedom and will read move
Speaker 1: to Ohio. Apparently, Ed's going to say, worried about Zorhan,
Speaker 1: Ohio is waiting for you. Apparently, I was a popular destination.
Speaker 1: Ohio the twentieth most popular state for people to move
Speaker 1: to that were leaving New York. We had a total
Speaker 1: of thirty one people move out of New York and
Speaker 1: had to Ohio in twenty twenty two. Andy Serabian, the
Speaker 1: chief strategist for this Ramaswami pack, speaking New York Post
Speaker 1: that people live in New York City should move to
Speaker 1: a state that is about to elect a conservative trail
Speaker 1: blazer committed to liberty and prosperity for all, while Mandami
Speaker 1: will further crush New York City with his job killing
Speaker 1: socialist Tyranny Vivak ready to unleash freedom, supercharge the American
Speaker 1: dream in make Ohio a state of excellence. We've put
Speaker 1: this billboard up because we couldn't think of two politicians
Speaker 1: in the country that represents such wildly different paths for
Speaker 1: a future in our nation. The Mondami path is socialist
Speaker 1: totalitarianism versus the v vague path of American freedom. Freedom. Well,
Speaker 1: good for him. I don't know if it's going to
Speaker 1: actually bear fruit, but he is a real threat to
Speaker 1: New York City. There's a lot of prominent business CEOs
Speaker 1: that have, you know, massive numbers of people employed in
Speaker 1: New York City. Financial and otherwise industries are saying he's
Speaker 1: going to be a terrible thing for New York and
Speaker 1: they're talking about moving out. We've already had some major
Speaker 1: businesses move out of New York City for taxation and
Speaker 1: regulation reasons alone. Along comes mun Domin. He's talking about
Speaker 1: rent control, increasing taxes on those pesky millionaires, the ones
Speaker 1: that actually pay the taxes and keep New York City running. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're gonna run out of those at some point. And
Speaker 1: of course everything that he has proposed has been proven
Speaker 1: to be a demonstrable failure wherever else it has been tried.
Speaker 1: This is the problem with Commis and socialists. They keep saying, well, no,
Speaker 1: we just didn't do it right. Then next time we're
Speaker 1: gonna get it right. No, No, the next time it's
Speaker 1: gonna go south on you, just like it always does.
Speaker 1: A Well, he has a thirty five percent favorability rating
Speaker 1: among the voters mom Domi does this accord of the
Speaker 1: most recent poll conducted July ninth by Politico. Another left
Speaker 1: between left leaning polster Andrew Cuomo coming in second with
Speaker 1: twenty five percent, so New Yorker's will have a choice.
Speaker 1: So maybe it'll finally sink in that this guy is
Speaker 1: a recipe for absolute disaster. But I do appreciate Vive
Speaker 1: getting in front of the situation, and uh just I
Speaker 1: guess it's a great way of contrasting freedom versus totalitarianism,
Speaker 1: which is exactly what the ad campaign does. Of course,
Speaker 1: gives him a larger nationwide presence since this is clearly
Speaker 1: a race that has, I mean, the nation's attention, this
Speaker 1: merrill race in New York, so probably prudent strategy. It
Speaker 1: only cost them fifty grand and the display is going
Speaker 1: to remain up for the full week. Whether that's any
Speaker 1: fruit for the state of Ohio, we'll wait and see.
Speaker 1: Doesn't hurt though, does it? Six fifty five ifty five
Speaker 1: k c DE Talk Station. More to talk about after
Speaker 1: the top of the air and this plus Christopher Smithman
Speaker 1: coming up at seven to twenty. I hope you can
Speaker 1: stick around seven oh five here at fifty five Garrosede
Speaker 1: Talk Station Monday. Like it or not, I always like it.
Speaker 1: At least Christopher Smithman joins the program. We'll be on
Speaker 1: the next segment seven to twenty for the Smith event,
Speaker 1: former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati. Always enjoy that.
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure what he's going to talk about
Speaker 1: it if it will be crime, which is obviously a
Speaker 1: continuing problem, as evidences by the number of shootings over
Speaker 1: the weekend the Cincinnati area and Greater Cincinnati area. Monday, Monday,
Speaker 1: Brian James one hour from now eight to oh five,
Speaker 1: variety of different topics talk about with Brian James. Thanks
Speaker 1: to all our financial for loaning amount and tex Fisher,
Speaker 1: State Representative. Fisher here from the state of Ohio is
Speaker 1: going to be talking about his defense and protection of
Speaker 1: access to marijuana. Since we all voted for legalization, he's
Speaker 1: trying to stop some of the Republicans from putting more
Speaker 1: curbs and restrictions on the general law that we passed
Speaker 1: that allows for legalization a weed in the state of Ohio.
Speaker 1: So text will join the programm at eed forty meantime
Speaker 1: over the phones will go. Let's start with Matt. Matt,
Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning. Happy Monday to you.
Speaker 9: Oh, happy Monday, Brian. Yeah, I just want to talk
Speaker 9: about the shootings over in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which one you got a lot to choose from.
Speaker 9: Well, now, smither Vent said that most of the shootings
Speaker 9: are in the black community, and he can say that
Speaker 9: without being racist because I.
Speaker 1: Believe he's black. Right, Well, I think anybody could say
Speaker 1: that because statistically that's a fact. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: if someone wants to label you a racist for saying
Speaker 1: something that is true out loud, if it has a
Speaker 1: connection to the heart of the problem, I think it
Speaker 1: is really important to note that because most of the
Speaker 1: victims are black. And why is it that many people
Speaker 1: within the black community, like Black Lives Matter, are the
Speaker 1: ones that want to get rid of the police department
Speaker 1: that only harms their own community. So is it racist
Speaker 1: to point that out? I don't think so.
Speaker 9: Okay, Bryan, check me on this. Several years ago, there
Speaker 9: was a report that the City of Cinc. Ninety police
Speaker 9: department was racist. I remember that. It might be ten, fifteen,
Speaker 9: forey years ago, but I remember that. Okay, So let
Speaker 9: to do. They pulled back from the black community. They
Speaker 9: let them live their lives without getting in there. So
Speaker 9: now what has happened Now the crime rate has gone up.
Speaker 9: They're not racist anymore, but the black community is in
Speaker 9: trouble and even the local even a lot of people
Speaker 9: in the black community say we need help. Yeah, so
Speaker 9: that's what the city, if since and needs do figure
Speaker 9: out what to do to get him to help at
Speaker 9: the black community needs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably'll adjust.
Speaker 9: That there's the violence. This is going to continue and
Speaker 9: it'll get worse.
Speaker 6: More and more and more.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well that would require I guess more proactive policing.
Speaker 1: You know, we saw that in New York City, proactive
Speaker 1: policing regularly, regularly encountering folks on the street and asking
Speaker 1: them questions. It resulted in a precipitous drop in crime.
Speaker 1: What happened when they got rid of proactive policing while
Speaker 1: crime went through the roof. And I suspect there may
Speaker 1: be something in connection with that. But this has got
Speaker 1: multiple layers. Had you started out with the George Floyd
Speaker 1: defund the police riots, Black Lives Matter, you got to
Speaker 1: get rid of the police. They need to rethink the
Speaker 1: police department. That was all the wave and all the
Speaker 1: raids there for a long time. All the cities across
Speaker 1: this country who experienced that and who followed those those formats,
Speaker 1: those recipes for you know, transforming the police have all
Speaker 1: dealt with precipitous increases in crime. They're all learning their
Speaker 1: lessons and they're going back in the opposite direction. I
Speaker 1: think this is one of the frustrations Christopher has been
Speaker 1: expressing week after week with the administration, the mayor, and
Speaker 1: council members just not saying anything, ignoring the problem as
Speaker 1: if it doesn't exist, not providing reasonable, in appropriate suggestions
Speaker 1: by way of reform that would help any community in
Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati get the violence under control. And
Speaker 1: the silence is indeed deafening. Why don't they regularly go
Speaker 1: out and support the police? Christopher said it a bunch
Speaker 1: of times. Yes, in my neighborhood where I live in
Speaker 1: the city, one of many of the neighborhoods, most people
Speaker 1: want more police. They aren't caught up in this, and
Speaker 1: they don't agree that this is the police force are
Speaker 1: all evil, racist collective folks that need to be done
Speaker 1: away with. We don't need to reimagine police, We need
Speaker 1: to bring it back to the neighborhood to help us
Speaker 1: defend off the crime. So you know, somebody's going to
Speaker 1: call your racist if they want to call your racists.
Speaker 1: Because many people cower in the face of an accusation
Speaker 1: of racism. You know, whether or not you're a racist,
Speaker 1: if you got logical and reasonable principles and points you
Speaker 1: can make to defend yourself, your conclusions that led to
Speaker 1: this charge of racism and stick to your guns. That's
Speaker 1: I don't think it's working as much as it used
Speaker 1: to it. You know, it's kind of like the Boyo
Speaker 1: cried wolf. There's only so many times you can say it,
Speaker 1: and then people find like a they their eyes gloss over,
Speaker 1: They're like, okay, yeah whatever. It's like name calling. Who's next?
Speaker 1: Maureen is next? Marine? Welcome back to the Morning Show, Maureene.
Speaker 1: Always good to hear from you.
Speaker 7: Good morning, Brian. I wanted to turn in about what
Speaker 7: you had in your opening about the truth social post
Speaker 7: by President Trump Raredoni regarding Bondi, Bongino and Cash Betel. Yeah,
Speaker 7: and it's all I agree with you that it is very,
Speaker 7: very confusing. There are a couple theories out there, a
Speaker 7: couple of things hit over the weekend.
Speaker 1: Well me let me enlighten my listeners. I was cleaning
Speaker 1: to Trump's comment about they meaning the Democrats created the
Speaker 1: Epstein files, just like they created the fake Hillary Clinton
Speaker 1: slash Christopher Steele dossier that they used on me, and
Speaker 1: now my so called friends are playing right into their hands.
Speaker 1: In other words, if you're asking for these documents, these
Speaker 1: Epstein documents, to be released, you're playing into the Democrat hands,
Speaker 1: which doesn't make a witzworth of sense to me, not
Speaker 1: a bit, because Biden had all this information. If the
Speaker 1: Democrats created them, obviously they would have created them for
Speaker 1: the purposes of harming Trump or anybody else. They weren't
Speaker 1: used to bring about harm to Trump. How is it
Speaker 1: now that it's something that Democrats did? And we are
Speaker 1: playing into their hands by wanting answers to these questions,
Speaker 1: which suggested that there was a lot of information they
Speaker 1: were sitting on that we were all going to get
Speaker 1: to see.
Speaker 7: Yeah, a couple of theories out there. One is that
Speaker 7: Erosom's suspicion was that mac Gates was called back. He
Speaker 7: was scheduled to do a Turning Point USA event here
Speaker 7: in Tampa with Tucker Carl. He was called an emergency
Speaker 7: meeting with President Trump. There's some thought that he may
Speaker 7: be being brought in to replace Bondi and be the
Speaker 7: attorney general, which was Trump's first choice to begin with.
Speaker 7: And according to what I heard is that under Article two,
Speaker 7: Section two and Class three of the Constitution, you can
Speaker 7: be brought in during session in August when they're on recess.
Speaker 7: But the tru BONDI though, I know, yes, I know,
Speaker 7: I know, but she could resign on her own just
Speaker 7: because of all this. But that's like the least one
Speaker 7: that people suspect. The other one is that he's being
Speaker 7: brought in as a special prosecutor for the election fraud information.
Speaker 7: And coupled with that, John Solomon of Just the News
Speaker 7: he released a video that went firal over the weekend too,
Speaker 7: and he said that they're opening a large conspiracy case
Speaker 7: to delve deeper into cross Fire Hurricane, and it's going
Speaker 7: to be such a big event where all these things
Speaker 7: are wrapped into a single conspiracy, which will also include
Speaker 7: not only cross Fire Hurricane, but the dossiers oh gosh,
Speaker 7: the Russia collisions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, well, and Trump did say, let Pambini do
Speaker 1: her job. She's great. The twenty twenty election was rigged
Speaker 1: and stolen and they tried to do the same in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. That that's what she's looking into as
Speaker 1: age and much more fine. I don't think there's any
Speaker 1: question that they might be looking into that, but that
Speaker 1: doesn't preclude them answering direct questions on the Epstein files,
Speaker 1: which is still swirling with all these question marks because
Speaker 1: of all the prior statements and allegations and accusation that
Speaker 1: were made by people who are now saying there's nothing
Speaker 1: to see there.
Speaker 7: I mean, it's a well good according to what John
Speaker 7: Solomon is saying, that this is supposed to drop within
Speaker 7: the week to ten days, and then it will incorporate
Speaker 7: all of those things and eventually lead into the voter
Speaker 7: fraud and the Epstein files because they're all tied together
Speaker 7: because of the money that was involved with the Epstein thing.
Speaker 1: So Epstein's stuff will be included in a broader conspiracy
Speaker 1: related to the twenty twenty Live. Okay, then it's a
Speaker 1: terrible way of doing that. Why would you say there's
Speaker 1: nothing here? There is no list, he did commit suicide.
Speaker 1: We don't have anything to show you but a bunch
Speaker 1: of videos that contain child pornography, which we're not going
Speaker 1: to show you anyway. That's all there is. That doesn't
Speaker 1: lend itself to then using this information in some our
Speaker 1: broader conspiracy theory. Well wait, a second, you already said
Speaker 1: there's nothing there. Why are you now incorporating it into
Speaker 1: a broader investigation? That doesn't make any sense. Why didn't
Speaker 1: they just say, well, we are going to give you
Speaker 1: this information. Is not as quickly as we originally schedule
Speaker 1: to bring it because it connects with a broader investigation
Speaker 1: that's ongoing, and so we don't want to be premature
Speaker 1: and releasing this information because it all is it's a
Speaker 1: puzzle piece to a broader problem that we're facing here.
Speaker 1: So I'm puzzled by this. It just seems to me,
Speaker 1: and the idea that Trump will get all angry and
Speaker 1: upset with a reporter asking a question about this, come on.
Speaker 1: The foundation was laid for those types of questions to
Speaker 1: be asked. We've been told by these same people over
Speaker 1: and over again that there is a there there, that
Speaker 1: there was child molestation. That's a crime, it's worthy of prosecution.
Speaker 1: If you said it last year, how come you're not
Speaker 1: saying it now. Yeah, it just I don't know. From
Speaker 1: a strategic standpoint, it just doesn't seem like there's any
Speaker 1: strategy here. Seven fifteen and Christopher Smith uh Nah's first

Speaker 1: Happy Monday made extra special every Monday at this time
Speaker 1: because I hear from the former Vice mayor of the
Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati, friend of the show, personal friend of mine,
Speaker 1: which I'm happy to say, Christopher Smithman, with a Monday
Speaker 1: Morning Smither event. Welcome back to my friend. I hope
Speaker 1: you had a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 6: I did.
Speaker 5: Thank you so much, Brian and I. I just want
Speaker 5: to start off brother by addressing one of your callers,
Speaker 5: but I don't want to. I don't want to stay there.
Speaker 5: But you know, the notion that you are a racist
Speaker 5: because you're white and you're talking about what's happening in
Speaker 5: your city from a factual perspective is a way that
Speaker 5: I think the left places these this mindset of deflection,
Speaker 5: so they really don't want you to talk about it.
Speaker 5: Because it makes them so are uncomfortable, so therefore they
Speaker 5: start calling people racist. The reality of it is, we
Speaker 5: have the super majority of people in Cincinnati that are
Speaker 5: involved in gun violence are African Americans, period, and so
Speaker 5: if you look at a list at the end of
Speaker 5: the year of how many people are shy, the majority
Speaker 5: of those people are African Americans. We elected a mayor
Speaker 5: and a council to help assolve it, and they're obviously
Speaker 5: not getting the job done. What's frustrating for me is
Speaker 5: the election is in November, and I just have this
Speaker 5: sense that the Democrats in the city will do the
Speaker 5: same thing. They'll vote for the same people on council,
Speaker 5: They'll vote for the same mayor and get the same results.
Speaker 5: That is what baffles me. But to the caller, I'm
Speaker 5: not a racist. You're not a racist if he's not
Speaker 5: a racist for trying to talk about these issues and
Speaker 5: to try to identify solutions. One of those solutions is
Speaker 5: to move away, and city council has not done this,
Speaker 5: and the mayor has not done this is move away
Speaker 5: from the defund the police mentality or reimagine the police
Speaker 5: so our officers do not feel supported. What are ways
Speaker 5: the mayor could do. What can he do to make
Speaker 5: the police officers in Cincinnati, Brian Thomas feel supported. Go
Speaker 5: to roll calls, do ride alongs, do a press conference
Speaker 5: with your chief, Say I support the police. I support
Speaker 5: them doing proactive policing. I'm going to put them in
Speaker 5: visible positions between the time of nine and three or
Speaker 5: four o'clock in the morning. We're using our police visibility
Speaker 5: over time in our hot spots, starting with our core
Speaker 5: of downtown. And I want every officer to know that
Speaker 5: I support them. This mayor, this collective council will never
Speaker 5: say that, Brian Thomas, that is the problem.
Speaker 1: Well so far they haven't, So it's a reasonable conclusion
Speaker 1: for you to reach. And you know, I guess the
Speaker 1: other component is if they're not calling you racist, they're
Speaker 1: gonna say, yeah, a lot of the violences in the
Speaker 1: black community, a lot of the gun violence is directed
Speaker 1: a fellow black members of the black community. It's because
Speaker 1: of the systemic problem we have. It's a systemic breakdown.
Speaker 1: We've been underserved. It's a racist ideology that has led
Speaker 1: our neighborhoods to this sorry state. And I just have
Speaker 1: to kind of think about that and go, wait a second,
Speaker 1: you've been neglected. Your elected officials have let you down.
Speaker 1: Going to your point, Christopher, we'll quit voting for the
Speaker 1: same people over and over again as you have been
Speaker 1: doing for the last forty plus years. If you think
Speaker 1: you're underserved, try a different path. But by being underserved,
Speaker 1: if you just assume that as a fact, why would
Speaker 1: that cause members within that community to start shooting each other?
Speaker 1: What possible justification can being down on the socioeconomic scale
Speaker 1: have to do with you going around and firing a
Speaker 1: gun into a crowd full of people? Willy nilly? How
Speaker 1: is the connection there?
Speaker 5: And the other thing is, why would the mayor and
Speaker 5: the council tell you that downtown is safe? Come on
Speaker 5: down when every time I listen to your show in
Speaker 5: the morning, I hear gunshot OTR Main Street, wherever the banks,
Speaker 5: And then the mayor says, it's almost like it reminds
Speaker 5: me of this. This this don't believe what you're hearing,
Speaker 5: don't believe what you're seeing. The reality of it is,
Speaker 5: i am the former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati,
Speaker 5: and I'm uncomfortable going into my core downtown. The main
Speaker 5: reason is I've lost confidence in the mayor, and I've
Speaker 5: lost confidence collectively in the city council. So why would
Speaker 5: I tell my daughter, who I love, it's okay for
Speaker 5: you your friends to go downtown when they can go
Speaker 5: somewhere else and be safe where there aren't the shootings.
Speaker 5: You can go to Montgomery, you can go to Kinwood, wherever.
Speaker 5: You can go somewhere else where you're not gonna get shot.
Speaker 5: That's the problem. And until the mayor and the council,
Speaker 5: who are on summer break, take this gun violence series
Speaker 5: other than just holding a press conference and saying, listen,
Speaker 5: this is just your perception. Really, gun violence is down
Speaker 5: and we're okay, nothing's going to change.
Speaker 1: A man, let's bring Christopher back for another segment or
Speaker 1: two as the case, maybe seven twenty five. Right now
Speaker 1: if you have KSIT talk station. Of course, conversation like
Speaker 1: this invites the opportunity for someone to think, you know what,
Speaker 1: I need to reflect on life, the value of life,
Speaker 1: this sacredness of life. And there's a place you can
Speaker 1: do that, and a place that invites you to do that.
Speaker 1: That's Gate of Having Catholic Cemetery of Montgomery life honored
Speaker 1: and celebrated every phase of Gate of Heaven, whether it's birth,
Speaker 1: life milestones or passing into eternal life. Gate of Heaven
Speaker 1: recognizes and revers the sacredness of every phase of the
Speaker 1: human journey. I mean, some folks might get engaged in
Speaker 1: some prayer and some thoughts about that, and it's a
Speaker 1: perfect place to do. That is just absolutely gorgeous, beautifully landscape,
Speaker 1: got walking paths and places to sit and reflect and pray.
Speaker 1: So why not give it a try, get it out
Speaker 1: of your system, reflect and meditate a Gate of Heaven.
Speaker 1: Find more online at Gateoheaven dot org. That's gateof Heaven

Speaker 8: Fifty five KRC seven twenty nine.
Speaker 1: On Monday, Brian Thomas with Christopher Smitheman doing the psmither event.
Speaker 1: Christopher Smitheman, what else is on your mind today? My friend?
Speaker 5: Look, I just want to debunk this narrative that I
Speaker 5: keep hearing say said over and over and over again. Bye. Really,
Speaker 5: the Democratic Party are their representatives, and that is and
Speaker 5: this is important that ICE agents are targeting immigrants here
Speaker 5: in a very kind of random way. That is not
Speaker 5: what is happening. ICE agents are targeting people who have
Speaker 5: come into our country illegally, who are criminals, that last
Speaker 5: word criminals. The target on those who are potential rapists,
Speaker 5: or they have engaged in rape in their own countries, murder, robbery, mayhem,
Speaker 5: whatever you want to gang members, those have been the
Speaker 5: targets of ICE. But if they go into an apartment
Speaker 5: and there are ten people there, and let's just say
Speaker 5: three of them are women who are girlfriends of MS
Speaker 5: thirteen gang members, they're all here illegally, and they're all
Speaker 5: being deported. But there's notion and if you're hanging with
Speaker 5: gang members, if you're if your girlfriend, if you're the
Speaker 5: girlfriend of an MS thirteen gang member, and you're in
Speaker 5: our country illegally, I don't have any problem with you
Speaker 5: being deported for this notion that liberal Democrats keep promoting
Speaker 5: that ICE agents are here targeting, whether it's Cincinnati, Hamilton County,
Speaker 5: whether it's parts of Kentucky, or whether it's in Texas.
Speaker 5: People that are getting up every day going to work
Speaker 5: is just absolutely alive. And it just infuriates me how
Speaker 5: the Democrats keep pushing that narrative. And I just want
Speaker 5: to push back this morning saying listen, I got a daughter,
Speaker 5: I'm a girl dad, you're a girl dad. I don't
Speaker 5: want it to be my scene where my daughter is
Speaker 5: out taking a dog on a college campus and one
Speaker 5: of these MS thirteen gang members targets her, drags her
Speaker 5: into would rates her and murders her. We can be
Speaker 5: this is what we call pro active policing. What ICE
Speaker 5: is doing. These are people that came into the country illegally.
Speaker 5: You broke the law. You broke the law. However, you're
Speaker 5: a gang member, you're someone who murdered somebody, you rate somebody.
Speaker 5: I don't want you here. I don't understand why the
Speaker 5: Democrats are fighting so hard, Ryan Thomas, to keep people
Speaker 5: like this in our country.
Speaker 1: Well, and it's a losing battle for them. I mean
Speaker 1: I brought this up this morning on that that left
Speaker 1: wing you know, a Democrat polster that did the poll
Speaker 1: talking about how the Democrats, even their own are not
Speaker 1: happy with their own party. Dissatisfaction rate is through the roof,
Speaker 1: and they don't have any policies that resonate with the
Speaker 1: American people. In terms of immigration and enforcement of the
Speaker 1: immigration policy. Trump ran on and he promised to do it.
Speaker 1: His big thing from day one has been, you know,
Speaker 1: build a big border wall and stop the flow, uh flow,
Speaker 1: of ill immigration that resonated with the country. He won
Speaker 1: the popular vote, he won the electoral college, and he's
Speaker 1: fulfilling his promise. And still poll after poll after poll
Speaker 1: shows that most Americans want to deport all illegal immigrants,
Speaker 1: not just the criminal element among them. So the Democrats
Speaker 1: can stream and scream and resist and go after ICE agents.
Speaker 1: I think at all in yours to the Republican Party's benefit,
Speaker 1: because that's not what the American people want, because most
Speaker 1: people think, like you, Christopher, there but for the grace
Speaker 1: of God, go I and my daughter getting raped and murdered.
Speaker 5: It's all driving a car drunk DUI and you kill
Speaker 5: an American family. You're in the country illegally, you're driving drunk,
Speaker 5: and you kill our American family. I just don't understand
Speaker 5: where Democrats are coming from, why this is such a problem.
Speaker 5: And you now see on TV my icy someone shooting
Speaker 5: at ICE agents over the weekend as they are identifying miners.
Speaker 5: I'm going to get into the adults. Oh yeah, but
Speaker 5: miners who are working on the farms. As an American,
Speaker 5: we do not value working twelve and thirteen year olds
Speaker 5: and fourteen year olds in a field. It's illegal to
Speaker 5: do it, And so why would Democrats who say they
Speaker 5: love children, they want to protect kids. All these children
Speaker 5: who've been separated when they came into the country illegally.
Speaker 5: Now we're finding some of them, and we're finding them
Speaker 5: in environments on farms where they are being worked, which
Speaker 5: is absolutely illegal.
Speaker 1: Exploited and exploited.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's children that were found by the ICE
Speaker 1: agents are probably in a much better situation having been
Speaker 1: found by the ICE agents than they were as basically
Speaker 1: slave labor on the marijuana camp.
Speaker 5: We haven't heard Brian Thomas, one of the Democrats, say
Speaker 5: that was wrong. Not one when the guy is literally
Speaker 5: on the video shooting at the ICE agents. No one
Speaker 5: said there's a fifty thousand dollars reward to find out
Speaker 5: who that is. No one said we denounced that. I'm
Speaker 5: trying to figure out, Brian Thomas, like you are, what
Speaker 5: is going on with the Democrats and why are they
Speaker 5: so silent and hell bent on keeping people who are
Speaker 5: criminals in the United States of America. And I'm not
Speaker 5: even getting into the politics that they say. I agree
Speaker 5: with you, it's a very bad politics. I'm saying the
Speaker 5: practicality of you and I who are girl dads. These
Speaker 5: are people who are praying on our American women. Clearly
Speaker 5: they are, and they're killing them and raping them and
Speaker 5: robbing them. Why would we want them in the United
Speaker 5: States of America And why would the Democratic Party push
Speaker 5: that kind of an agenda. Now, part of this is
Speaker 5: if you look at MSNBC and you watch CNN, they're
Speaker 5: telling you the opposite. They're saying they're deporting everybody. You
Speaker 5: just show up to work and they grab you off
Speaker 5: the street. That's how they're presenting it on their on
Speaker 5: their media platforms. But that is absolutely not the truth.
Speaker 5: And there might be someone who's listening to this who says, wow,
Speaker 5: I didn't realize that ICE is targeting their first group
Speaker 5: of people. They're trying to put all their time and
Speaker 5: energy and getting out the criminals. That's it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. And the only I mean that only
Speaker 1: that the defenseless you know, mom, worker or whatever, who
Speaker 1: got caught up in the entrapment because of they were
Speaker 1: going after criminals. That's the only thing that could possibly
Speaker 1: resonate with the American people is well, that's not really fair.
Speaker 1: That poor woman's been here for twelve fifteen years and
Speaker 1: she didn't do anything right. But if you peel back
Speaker 1: the veneer of that, you see quite often it's a circumstance,
Speaker 1: like you're talking about where well she happened to be
Speaker 1: an MS third team gang member's girlfriend. Let's bring Christopher
Speaker 1: back because I think I might have the answer to
Speaker 1: the question of why they fight so hard to keep
Speaker 1: this all of the criminals as well as every other
Speaker 1: illegal immigrant in the country. Pausible bring Christopher back for
Speaker 1: another one. It's seven thirty six right now, fifty five
Speaker 1: KCD talk station. A strong recommendation for all residential electric projects.
Speaker 1: Get in touch with my friends. If Cullen Electric Andrew
Speaker 1: Cullen and the team there to treat your home with
Speaker 1: ultimate respect, customer service couldn't be better. The efficiency of
Speaker 1: the licensed electricians couldn't be better. It's a well oiled
Speaker 1: machine there. So whatever the project they're working on, a
Speaker 1: big one, like rewiring your whole home, getting rid of
Speaker 1: the old aluminum wiring, or nobin two biring, maybe wiring
Speaker 1: up your whole house generator, or just installing one outlet,
Speaker 1: anything in between, they can handle it for you to
Speaker 1: do efficient job. The price will be right and you'll
Speaker 1: get a ten yure wiring warranty on everything they do

Speaker 8: This is fifty five krc AN iHeartRadio Station.
Speaker 5: Seven.
Speaker 1: I think about kerr CE talk Station Brian time as
Speaker 1: here with Christopher Smitheman during the Smith event and as
Speaker 1: to the wise Christopher, I was thinking you of the
Speaker 1: Democrats fighting to protect and keep every single illegal immigrant,
Speaker 1: criminal or otherwise in the country. I think part of
Speaker 1: this has to do with the fact that if you
Speaker 1: look at the Blue States, you know your New York's,
Speaker 1: you're Illinois, You're California's.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: We all learned what happened after COVID. Everybody who could
Speaker 1: get out got out. Their population numbers left. There are
Speaker 1: numbers of people who make a lot of money left
Speaker 1: the state for places with lower taxes and a veteran
Speaker 1: regulatory environment. So they're hemorrhaging people who actually make money.
Speaker 1: They got to keep their economy going. And the other
Speaker 1: thing is they want to keep control of the UH.
Speaker 1: They want to gain control of the House of Representatives.
Speaker 1: That's a popularation driven thing, Christopher. And if you substitute
Speaker 1: the US citizenry with a bunch of illegal immigrants, you
Speaker 1: can maintain your numbers for the purpose of the census
Speaker 1: and the number of representatives you have in the House.
Speaker 1: And that's one of the things that they're desperately trying
Speaker 1: to do. And I think that's part of the how.
Speaker 1: I believe that the Texas governor and the Florida governor
Speaker 1: kind of played into their hands a little bit because
Speaker 1: they declared themselves New York, California, et cetera, a sanctuary
Speaker 1: states or cities, which was an invitation for illegal immigrants
Speaker 1: come here, and we won't harass you or arrest you
Speaker 1: or otherwise try to kick you out. We will not
Speaker 1: cooperate with federal authorities. That's an invitation to come in.
Speaker 1: And of course the governors of Texas and Florida played
Speaker 1: into that by busting the illegal immigrant population to those destinations,
Speaker 1: so they effectively boosted their population numbers pretty significantly with
Speaker 1: the illegal immigrants, which may very well allow them to
Speaker 1: keep the number of representatives they have in the House.
Speaker 1: Just a thought.
Speaker 5: Well, at first, I agree with you. First of all,
Speaker 5: I agree that if it cannspiracy and part of that conspiracy,
Speaker 5: what are the legs to the conspiracy? Is no ID,
Speaker 5: you don't have to have an idea to vote. And
Speaker 5: the way the Democrats tried to pimp it out is
Speaker 5: to suggest that African Americans were not able to get
Speaker 5: identification to vote. The target wasn't African Americans. The target
Speaker 5: were the illegal people in the country who they wanted
Speaker 5: to vote. But they had to offend African Americans by saying, hey, listen,
Speaker 5: so many African Americans can't get a state ID, so
Speaker 5: many African Americans can't get a driver's license, there's no
Speaker 5: way they can identify themselves when they show up and
Speaker 5: vote as Americans, which I am an American in this country.
Speaker 5: But the real conspiracy was to have that blanket conversation
Speaker 5: so those people who were in the country illegally did
Speaker 5: not have a requirement for identification.
Speaker 1: I agree with you, I think you're onto something. So
Speaker 1: multiple layers of of why they would fight to keep
Speaker 1: all the illegal immigrants in the country.
Speaker 5: No, No, it's absolutely true. And as we get to
Speaker 5: a close, you know, I try to have public conversations
Speaker 5: with you, Brian, my white brother, about racism, and it's
Speaker 5: very complicated. But what I will say to you is
Speaker 5: that there are people who try to weaponize racism. First
Speaker 5: of all, racism is real, just like sexism is real.
Speaker 6: It happens in this country, sure, but.
Speaker 5: There are people, there are people who use that as
Speaker 5: a deflection. Okay, So somebody like an Al Sharpton who
Speaker 5: says nothing about the African Americans who are killing each
Speaker 5: other in these major cities, whether it's Chicago, whether it's
Speaker 5: La whether it's New York, right where he lives, you
Speaker 5: hear nothing from his voice. He lives no political capital
Speaker 5: for that bloodshed. But once a white officer takes the
Speaker 5: life of an African American who's a juvenile with a
Speaker 5: gun in a major city all sharp and will fly
Speaker 5: anywhere to have that discussion, that's somebody who is, in
Speaker 5: my opinion, off course, and who is not helping solve
Speaker 5: these very serious problems that we're facing. And it doesn't
Speaker 5: make a person a racist for articulating that that is
Speaker 5: what is going on. You and I are not dumb
Speaker 5: as my white brother, me as your black brother, trying
Speaker 5: to solve these big issues that are happening. But let's
Speaker 5: not say. You know, I'll never get on your show
Speaker 5: and say, well, man, I've never experienced racism or my
Speaker 5: kids habits or my parents have it. But they're jerks
Speaker 5: all over the place. They're people that are nuts all
Speaker 5: over the place. But the reality of but the reality
Speaker 5: of it is, is that what you and I are
Speaker 5: talking about, this uncontrolled epidemic of a violence, violence that's
Speaker 5: happening in our urban core, specifically where you and I live.
Speaker 5: We have a Newter mayor and a Newter council. They
Speaker 5: don't have the solution. And until we elect people that
Speaker 5: absolutely care are willing to roll up their sleeves, willing
Speaker 5: to do what it takes. And it starts with empowering
Speaker 5: our police to do the great job that they've been
Speaker 5: trained to do and back them up. Every Monday morning.
Speaker 5: They're going to be errors out here. You pull up
Speaker 5: to a car their tenant windows, you don't know what
Speaker 5: the hell is going on in the car. You ask
Speaker 5: the citizen please roll down your window. I need to
Speaker 5: see what's happening in the front and the backseat, because
Speaker 5: somebody can have a gun pointed at the officer and
Speaker 5: they don't do it, they don't comply. What do you
Speaker 5: think is going to happen on that dark road? Do
Speaker 5: you think the officer is going to die? He's not
Speaker 5: going to go back to his wife, or she's not
Speaker 5: going to go back to her husband. We're living in
Speaker 5: this La Lau land with Democrats who continue and it's
Speaker 5: so dangerous, Brian Thomas. It's so dangerous because it's undermining
Speaker 5: our society. A society that refuses to support and respect
Speaker 5: law enforcement is a lawless society. And we have Democrats
Speaker 5: out here, whether it's Ice, whether it's peace officers, who
Speaker 5: continue to push that narrative. It is very very Unamerican,
Speaker 5: and it is a big problem in our country.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll go back there to the point I
Speaker 1: made earlier, Christopher. You know, even if we have a
Speaker 1: systemically racist society, which is what some of the you know,
Speaker 1: like the sharpons of LAURLD want to say, that's the problem,
Speaker 1: that's the just that's the reason there's so much gun
Speaker 1: violence in the black communities. I can't say how do
Speaker 1: you draw a line that connects those two? What injustice
Speaker 1: justifies you going out and like firing a glock with
Speaker 1: an extended magazine into a group full of your own
Speaker 1: peace people? How do you connect the dots on that
Speaker 1: you don't random indiscriminate violence, deadly random indiscriminate gunfire.
Speaker 8: It is.
Speaker 5: And let me also, I guarantee you that Al Sharpton
Speaker 5: and people like him all have bodyguards. Oh guarantee it.
Speaker 5: I guarantee that they are always under guard, whether it's
Speaker 5: the personal home, whether it's when they walk out and
Speaker 5: get in their vehicle and they go somewhere, they're surrounded
Speaker 5: by people with guns.
Speaker 4: They're not you and I out here every.
Speaker 5: Day just trying to go to a ball game or
Speaker 5: go down to the banks and have a beer. And
Speaker 5: we don't want people just spraying bullets into the crowds
Speaker 5: in an indiscriminate way. And the other thing is we're
Speaker 5: not even hearing about the assault, meaning we're focused on
Speaker 5: the shootings. We're focused on the murder. Yes, there's another
Speaker 5: level down. That's the couple that's just walking down the street,
Speaker 5: comes out of the restaurant and they're jumped yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's also happening, Brian Thomas.
Speaker 1: It is happening. It's happening a lot. And that's one
Speaker 1: statistic I think that everyone can uniformally agree has gone
Speaker 1: up a lot.
Speaker 6: Yes, which is.
Speaker 5: Free that it has. But you're not a racist. The
Speaker 5: caller who called in isn't a racist for talking about
Speaker 5: these issues and then asserting and talking about what they
Speaker 5: think the solutions are. Meaning one of them is broken homes.
Speaker 5: Obviously parents, dad being involved. So we've got to do
Speaker 5: a better job in that area. That's obviously one of
Speaker 5: the solutions. Police officers and supporting cops, that's obviously one
Speaker 5: of our solutions. But the reality of it is you
Speaker 5: and I talking about it and highlighting it doesn't make
Speaker 5: me and Uncle Tom, and it certainly doesn't make you
Speaker 5: a race.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that just confirming everything I personally believe too.
Speaker 1: I'm happy to get on and talk about it because
Speaker 1: I know I'm not a racist. God bless you, Christopher Smith,
Speaker 1: and look forward to next Monday at another event. Have
Speaker 1: a great week, my friend seven forty nine, come up
Speaker 1: at seven fifty to fifty five KRC Detalk station. Strong recommendation,

Speaker 1: use the USA's foam to go in with whatever low
Speaker 1: R value product you have in there from days gone by.
Speaker 1: And if your home was built before the mid seventies,
Speaker 1: nothing but empty air, and there fill it with the
Speaker 1: highest R value phone in the market. You'll get immediate
Speaker 1: improvement and comfort. You will notice your AC system, at
Speaker 1: least this time of year, is not running as hard.

Speaker 1: may be able to cover the entire cost of the
Speaker 1: monthly payment, which is only ninety nine dollars a month,
Speaker 1: interest free, free quote, free inspection. So get in touch
Speaker 1: with them.
Speaker 4: Do it now.
Speaker 1: The only regret you're gonna have is, gosh darned it,

Speaker 1: even this? Seven fifty four here if clad NC talk stations,
Speaker 1: very Happy Mondays here it being Monday Money Monday with
Speaker 1: Brian James will be on the next segment, talk about
Speaker 1: a variety of different topics, including an economists seeing a
Speaker 1: lower recession risk, a stronger job growth, forecasters nudget up growth,
Speaker 1: trimming inflation estimates as tariffs prove lower less costly than expected.
Speaker 1: In April, Yeah, we've got this pesky tariffs entering in
Speaker 1: the equation again with Donald Trump is seeing some additional
Speaker 1: tariffs and lord knows how it's going to impact us.
Speaker 1: I sort of feel like it hasn't really impacted us much.
Speaker 1: I know there's some business out there, some business understaying
Speaker 1: you talk, what are you talking about? It's killing me?
Speaker 1: But more broadly, the gloom and doom projections that people
Speaker 1: were screaming and whaling and gnashing teeth over just doesn't
Speaker 1: seem to have manifested itself. Maybe we give Brian a
Speaker 1: comment on that and what the tariffs might mean for
Speaker 1: us going forward anyway, Will we get an interest rate cut.
Speaker 1: That of course the dominant topic of conversation with Brian,
Speaker 1: because we could all use some interest rate relief, most
Speaker 1: notably those that are interested in buying a house. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we'll get to that, and then we'll hear from Tex Fisher,
Speaker 1: State Representative Fisher from here in the state of Ohio
Speaker 1: on protecting your ability to have access to weed. Yes, marijuana,
Speaker 1: and they're trying to change the law to make it
Speaker 1: a little more difficult to get it and limit the
Speaker 1: number of plants you can grow and put THHC limits
Speaker 1: and that kind of thing. Tex Fisher says, no, he
Speaker 1: is a Republican and he said, listen, the citizens of
Speaker 1: the state of Ohio voted for this in overwhelming numbers.
Speaker 1: Let it go, Let it sit. So text Fisher at
Speaker 1: eight forty to talk about that. Who can stick around
Speaker 1: me right back after the news.
Speaker 2: Dot com, I gotta get in reel to calm down.
Speaker 1: Now the latest news. We're on the verge of a
Speaker 1: real piece in the Middle East, and your latest ognions.
Speaker 6: I trust what President Trump is doing.

Speaker 10: show whether or not it's going to impact the Fed's
Speaker 10: decision to cut interest rates or not, as the case
Speaker 10: may be. But the background of all this is the uh,
Speaker 10: the Trump trade wars, the the tariffs he's been levying
Speaker 10: or then taking off, as the case may be. It
Speaker 10: seems to be like a constantly moving target, you know,
Speaker 10: announces tariffs one day, and then he says, well, I'm
Speaker 10: gonna pause him, give us time to negotiate or talk,
Speaker 10: and you kind of a you never really quite have
Speaker 10: a grip of which direction it's gonna go. But thus far,
Speaker 10: I think the general consensus, at least from what I've
Speaker 10: read no economist am I, is that thus far the
Speaker 10: tariffs really haven't impacted you and me on a day
Speaker 10: to day basis. The way everyone was so frightened that
Speaker 10: it would Oh my god, the price are going to
Speaker 10: go through the roof. Well that's not yet necessarily been
Speaker 10: the case, has it. Yeah, things that make Jerome Powell
Speaker 10: go hmmm.
Speaker 1: So we've seen this.
Speaker 10: We're now starting to see numbers coming out that were
Speaker 10: far enough past the tariff announcements in the actual presence
Speaker 10: of those tariffs. Remember, the announcement of the tariff and
Speaker 10: the actual tariff are two very different things, right, as
Speaker 10: we've learned. But June's CPI is forecasted to rise about
Speaker 10: a third of a percent month over month for both
Speaker 10: headline and core numbers. Remember those are the there's two
Speaker 10: different CPI figures that we all like to look at.
Speaker 10: This is the first real tangible impact we've seen from
Speaker 10: this new round of Trump era tariffs in getting core
Speaker 10: inflation near three percent annually, So it's kind of moving
Speaker 10: away from the target the Fed wants to be in
Speaker 10: the two percent range. That's what really makes Jerome Powell
Speaker 10: happy in the morning. But we're not there. And well,
Speaker 10: this is to your point. This is not terrible. This
Speaker 10: is not a massive spike as some had prognosticated over
Speaker 10: the past few months. But at the same time, up
Speaker 10: is not down, and we're higher than the federal reserve once.
Speaker 10: So at the moment, Jerome Powell has a bit of
Speaker 10: a dilemma in terms of which which battle does he fight?
Speaker 10: Is he going to fight inflation because this is also
Speaker 10: coming alongside a slightly weakening labor market.
Speaker 1: So things do seem to be cooling off. This is
Speaker 1: a tough one. I'm kind of glad that I don't
Speaker 1: have I don't have.
Speaker 10: His job right now, because he's really got two forces
Speaker 10: pulling in the opposite direction on him.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, are we entering like a nineteen seventies
Speaker 1: kind of situation with stagflation?
Speaker 5: No, I don't.
Speaker 10: I don't think we're there yet. You know, my crystal
Speaker 10: ball is as foggy as anybody else's. But I don't
Speaker 10: think this is this yet has all the same impacts
Speaker 10: that full stagflation did. And the reason that we one
Speaker 10: of the reasons I believe personally, is because there are
Speaker 10: so many catalysts, Brian of ways that we make money
Speaker 10: now compared to the seventies, And I'm just thinking of
Speaker 10: things like, you know, the seventies, we didn't have a
Speaker 10: whole lot of innovation compared to what we have now.
Speaker 1: It's good thinking of the last twenty years.
Speaker 10: We had the Internet come up, and we've had AI,
Speaker 10: we've had a real estate spike, we had COVID that drove,
Speaker 10: you know, the work from home technology and all this stuff.
Speaker 10: Everything is a catalyst that somebody makes money off of.
Speaker 10: So that stuff, I think currently knocking on wood furiously
Speaker 10: is offsetting the downsides of what we're going through.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. I never really looked at it that way.
Speaker 1: A lot of job opportunities that just didn't exist, and
Speaker 1: we've created a whole new economy since the nineteen seventies,
Speaker 1: which was I guess more rooted in a traditional I
Speaker 1: guess more manufacturing type economy, and thus the problems we
Speaker 1: faced in the seventies.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's right, and there was just a different environment
Speaker 10: in terms of how we recovered from things. So we
Speaker 10: had spikes in oil prices, and of course a lot
Speaker 10: of that too, was driven by President Nixon wanted to
Speaker 10: drive interest rates down because he had an election coming
Speaker 10: up and he wanted happy people putting their votes into
Speaker 10: their ballot boxes, and so he pushed really hard for
Speaker 10: low interest rates, and that spiked a lot of demand,
Speaker 10: which resulted in Paul Volker coming to the rescue with
Speaker 10: his Superman Cape in the late seventies early eighties, forcing
Speaker 10: us into a pretty significant recession that then settled back
Speaker 10: down into this two to three percent range that we
Speaker 10: over the past forty years have determined as kind of
Speaker 10: the right happy place to be, because over the last
Speaker 10: forty years it hasn't been that crazy economically speaking when
Speaker 10: you compare it to the nineteen seventies, So we've kind
Speaker 10: of concluded that, okay, that must be the right place
Speaker 10: to be balanced, but it takes some sacrifices to get there.
Speaker 1: All right. So we have this point three percent predicted
Speaker 1: figure for the consumer price it's supposed to come out
Speaker 1: today core rate that strips out food and energy also
Speaker 1: predicted to B point three, which makes it higher than
Speaker 1: the fetid hope, because that would push it past the
Speaker 1: two percent goal and closer to three percent if it
Speaker 1: will remain on this trajectory. If I got that right,
Speaker 1: that's correct, You're on the right path all right now.
Speaker 1: Two lower interest rates would be to add fuel to
Speaker 1: the fire of the inflationary numbers, at least that's what
Speaker 1: they always say.
Speaker 10: Correct, that's correct, exactly, right, and that's what Trump wants.
Speaker 10: Trump has been talking about rates aren't low enough. You
Speaker 10: said that all the way through, and I honestly, I
Speaker 10: think I'd wear a tinfoil hat some but especially when
Speaker 10: it comes to politicians of every flavor, because everybody, at
Speaker 10: the end of the day is just out for votes.
Speaker 10: That's all because they got to stay in their jobs. Anyway,
Speaker 10: I think it's a sexy thing to talk about interest rates.
Speaker 10: We've all become fixated with interest rates because we've we've
Speaker 10: fallen in love with the idea of refinancing our mortgages
Speaker 10: over and over again, and we feel entitled to these
Speaker 10: two to three percent mortgages. Therefore, if I'm a politician,
Speaker 10: it makes sense for me to just talk about lower rates.
Speaker 10: All you need is the SoundBite. I don't need to
Speaker 10: get into the possible downsides of having rates too low
Speaker 10: for too long. We saw that in the seventies. I'm
Speaker 10: going to talk about that. I'm just going to trigger
Speaker 10: people's memories that hey, I really liked when I could
Speaker 10: refinance my mortgage over and over again, So that can
Speaker 10: possibly win me votes. That's going to be the drum
Speaker 10: that I beat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and the other. The sort of the
Speaker 1: side cul de sac on that point is if interest
Speaker 1: rates were back down to three percent for mortgages, I
Speaker 1: think it would probably exacerbate the already problem shortage of
Speaker 1: housing we have. There'd be more people out there wanting
Speaker 1: to buy, which of course drive the limited inventory prices up.
Speaker 10: Yeah, the people who would be happiest are the ones
Speaker 10: who bought a house anyway, knowing full well that it's
Speaker 10: not it's not as good of an environment as it
Speaker 10: was over the past ten to fifteen years, but they
Speaker 10: were sort of gambling that rates are going to come down,
Speaker 10: I can refinance. Those people would be really, really happy.
Speaker 10: It's the people who are furiously trying to build up
Speaker 10: a down payment to buy their first home that are
Speaker 10: going to take it right in the face because it's
Speaker 10: just going to get slightly more more and more expensive
Speaker 10: as it already is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no end insight to that one now. And
Speaker 1: back to inflation. The idea that Trump just announced over
Speaker 1: the weekend, he's going to put a thirty percent terrifying
Speaker 1: goods from the European Union and Mexico, and that kicks
Speaker 1: in August first, obviously giving him a couple of week
Speaker 1: winded and negotiate, which I presume that's what he wants.
Speaker 1: That hasn't been factored into the situation, has it yet?
Speaker 6: No, not really.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I think we're used to this, right.
Speaker 10: So remember back in April, the market hit an absolute bottom,
Speaker 10: and it hit it hard in early April, and that
Speaker 10: was the initial panic over, oh my gosh, these tariffs
Speaker 10: are huge, one hundred and forty percent on stuff coming
Speaker 10: out of China and we're changing him every other day.
Speaker 1: Panic, panic, panic.
Speaker 10: Well then we realize, okay, wait a minute, maybe we're
Speaker 10: not going to actually tear off band aids like it
Speaker 10: felt like we were going to. We're gonna kind of,
Speaker 10: you know, put these thirty day delays and all that
Speaker 10: kind of stuff on it. So the market is kind
Speaker 10: of winking at all this. It's just kind of ignoring it,
Speaker 10: you know whatever, Let me know when you're done and
Speaker 10: you've decided, then the market will tell us what it's
Speaker 10: going to do. So, you know, futures as we're sitting
Speaker 10: here right now, are down a little bit for the morning,
Speaker 10: but not nearly as much as they would have been
Speaker 10: when these first tariff announcements came out months ago.
Speaker 1: When we were first getting used to our new chaotic reality. Well,
Speaker 1: and maybe that's because they didn't stick around for a
Speaker 1: long time. That was like, you know, Trump woud announce
Speaker 1: him and the market will react, and then he would say,
Speaker 1: now I'm going to put a hold on those and
Speaker 1: withdraw them and again for the purpose of negotiating. Sitting
Speaker 1: in the negotiation table, it's all I guess can be
Speaker 1: made of why they're on and they're off, and they're
Speaker 1: on and they're off again. But you can't factor that in.
Speaker 1: If you don't have any idea which direction the tariffs
Speaker 1: are going to go, how do you forecast the future?
Speaker 1: You just can't do it.
Speaker 10: You know, I picture, you know, being mugged in an alley.
Speaker 10: If I jabb my knife at you, you're probably going
Speaker 10: to be more willing to hand me over your wallet
Speaker 10: without me having to do any damage. That's really all
Speaker 10: we do, over and over and over again. It's just
Speaker 10: a negotiation. As ugly as it sounds, it truly is.
Speaker 1: Well, I know to the Wall Street journalist said the economists,
Speaker 1: economists are seeing a lower recession risk with stronger job growth.
Speaker 1: That's Wall Street journal survey of the economists that they
Speaker 1: talk to. So I mean it's like a mixed bag
Speaker 1: of news and all this. Brian, I guess that's why
Speaker 1: there's so much confusion in terms of which direction we're
Speaker 1: going to go in terms of rate interest rates.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and this is very much a popcorn making time
Speaker 10: for the rest of us who do not have to
Speaker 10: make these decisions on that benefit or harm the rest
Speaker 10: of the world. Again, I go back to Jerome Powell.
Speaker 10: I don't know how the man sleeps at night. He's
Speaker 10: he's in a world where you know, again, he's got
Speaker 10: those two forces pulling an opposite direction, and he's the
Speaker 10: one who has to decide which lever to pull and
Speaker 10: which button to push. So I do not envy that
Speaker 10: man right now.
Speaker 1: No, No, he's in quite a conunder. We'll talk more
Speaker 1: about this with Brian James from all Worth Financial that
Speaker 1: and I guess we also have some of the big,
Speaker 1: beautiful tax breaks, maybe a little bit smaller than people
Speaker 1: anticipate in the bvb Ryan James will continue after this.

Speaker 1: Eight nineteen. If you've got kirc detalk station, very happy
Speaker 1: Monday to you. Done money Monday thing with Brian James
Speaker 1: Smallworth Financial. Going back to the conundrum and the problem
Speaker 1: that Jerome Powell is in such a position you mentioned
Speaker 1: it in this article just addresses it. The one who
Speaker 1: provided me the Fed is too mandates. It can be
Speaker 1: at odds, and there are odds now keep inflation in
Speaker 1: check and supporting the labor market. So to keep inflation
Speaker 1: in check if it's running too hot, they raise rates
Speaker 1: to slow demand. Okay, when the labor market starts to
Speaker 1: drop off, they cut rates to boost borrowing and spending
Speaker 1: and thus in turn hiring. But you've got both going
Speaker 1: on at the same time. You have a cooling labor
Speaker 1: market as has been reflected, and you have a little
Speaker 1: bit warmer inflation number as you mentioned. It was point
Speaker 1: three or is reportedly going to be point three for
Speaker 1: the month, higher than the two percent annual trajectory. So
Speaker 1: it suggests, I mean, the answer seems to me to
Speaker 1: be just don't touch the rates at all at this
Speaker 1: point rather than lower them or increase them, which nobody
Speaker 1: really is talking much about. Why would you even do
Speaker 1: anything to him right now if you have no clear
Speaker 1: vision of the future on this, Brian James, Yeah.
Speaker 10: At the moment, we're not at a point. Again, I'm
Speaker 10: not Jerome Powell. I'm not responsible for this. So this
Speaker 10: is purely you know, me sitting off on the sidelines
Speaker 10: being an armchair fed chair. But so yeah, I don't
Speaker 10: think we're at a point where we have to go
Speaker 10: one direction or the other, you know, with the exception
Speaker 10: of the pressure from the White House is enormous, of course,
Speaker 10: because this has been, like I said, this has been
Speaker 10: a campaign plank for President Trump for both of his
Speaker 10: both of his terms, and when he was not in office,
Speaker 10: he was still talking about it, right, always being that
Speaker 10: rates need to go lower, lower, lower. We'll worry about
Speaker 10: the rest later. So well, at the moment, I think
Speaker 10: it's it's kind of it's relatively easy for fed chair
Speaker 10: pal to not do anything about it because of those
Speaker 10: things that could happen and the benefits would not outweigh
Speaker 10: the risks. Currently, we're kind of at a bit of
Speaker 10: a balance, and that's what we're seeing in the stock
Speaker 10: and bond market. It's fairly knock on wood quiet time
Speaker 10: right now, but later in the year, later in September.
Speaker 10: If these trends continue, in other words, if the labor
Speaker 10: market continues to weaken and we continue to have the
Speaker 10: other things happening on the inflationary side, then he's probably
Speaker 10: going to have to make a move in one direction
Speaker 10: or another and lay as cards on the table. Well,
Speaker 10: it's right now, we're kind of stableish, But if.
Speaker 1: That happens, in other words, inflation continues on its current
Speaker 1: upward trajectory and the labor market is on the downward trajectory,
Speaker 1: the likelihood that the rates are going to get lowered
Speaker 1: is slim and none, because that'll have a profound impact
Speaker 1: on inflation. At least that's what they say. Because and
Speaker 1: this is the other thing I wanted to test and
Speaker 1: find out what your perception is. The import taxes haven't
Speaker 1: yet crept into the consumer prices because apparently companies were
Speaker 1: front loading inventory because they anticipated these tariffs kicking in,
Speaker 1: so they've pre ordered a whole bunch of stuff in
Speaker 1: late two thousand and four. In twenty twenty five, but
Speaker 1: it's pointed out Eventually they're gonna have to start passing
Speaker 1: on higher prices to consumers because their inventories are gonna
Speaker 1: run low and they're gonna have to start buying more
Speaker 1: stuff in things that are gonna be subject to the tariff. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, if anybody, if this is an accurate assessment
Speaker 1: of the landscape, you know, prices are gonna go up.
Speaker 6: They're gonna have to.
Speaker 1: There's really no other choice.
Speaker 10: You're right, because because again we're as I said earlier,
Speaker 10: we've been calm over this reletive once we got over
Speaker 10: the initial shock that we're gonna start talking about tariffs
Speaker 10: very loudly. That was back in April, and then we
Speaker 10: realized it's not gonna It wasn't It's not as scary
Speaker 10: as it sounds, because we really haven't seen the impact yet.
Speaker 10: Now we're riding the wave of prices that were locked
Speaker 10: in as you just pointed out in Q four of
Speaker 10: last year and Q one of this year in anticipation.
Speaker 10: So things are still stable, but we're not truly in
Speaker 10: a full tariff oriented reality that's coming over the next
Speaker 10: several months. And if we if we really want to
Speaker 10: follow what the President says in lower rates than that.
Speaker 10: That is going to provide opportunities for businesses to make
Speaker 10: more money, and they're going to They're definitely.
Speaker 1: Going to push that because it's what they do, it's,
Speaker 1: you know, what they should do.
Speaker 10: But on the other hand, they are not the ones
Speaker 10: responsible for keeping inflation in check. That falls to That
Speaker 10: falls to the Fed chair and he's going to have
Speaker 10: to make some tough decisions in terms of guiding us
Speaker 10: through all that.
Speaker 1: Well, he's just got to wait and see what the
Speaker 1: terrorists do and if they even go into effect. Again,
Speaker 1: thirty percent announce kicking in August first for quite a
Speaker 1: number of our trading partners, and again the logical conclusion
Speaker 1: is that we'll raise prices ergo lowering rates when a
Speaker 1: time of rising prices is a recipe for rapid runaway inflation,
Speaker 1: which Donald Trump mean Donald Trump campaigned on lowering inflation.
Speaker 1: It's going to do the exact opposite of what he promised.
Speaker 1: And as we run into you know, the next election cycle,
Speaker 1: that's not going to be real. Good thing happened in
Speaker 1: Brian James. If you're hopefully hoping for the best for
Speaker 1: the Republicans anyway.
Speaker 10: And I'll hope for the best for all of us,
Speaker 10: which is, if you find a way to get along,
Speaker 10: then maybe we'd be we'd be in a better spot.
Speaker 10: But yeah, and I think the other challenging thing is
Speaker 10: fed chair Pal doesn't get to change interest rates today
Speaker 10: and then make and then reverse the change tomorrow.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 10: Trump apparently does, so that's he's gonna Pal's gonna have
Speaker 10: to wait until the dust truly truly settles on this,
Speaker 10: because his decisions are much more permanent and long lasting
Speaker 10: than a day and a half worth of tariffs.
Speaker 1: Well, and I suppose in the background there's always the
Speaker 1: notion that just threatening the thirty percent teriffs will at
Speaker 1: least bring folks to the negotiation table and maybe we'll
Speaker 1: end up with a better deal before anything kicks in
Speaker 1: and ultimately impacts inflation. One can only pray that we
Speaker 1: get that kind of resolution. Brian James, let's continue with
Speaker 1: you and some of the big beautiful tax breaks a
Speaker 1: little bit smaller than some anticipated. One more with Money

Speaker 1: to the fifty five KRC Morning Show. Bar Ohio State
Speaker 1: Representative TECHS Fisher.
Speaker 7: Tex.
Speaker 1: Fisher represents District fifty nine. Happens to be the youngest
Speaker 1: selected official in state of Ohio, at least from the
Speaker 1: House of Representatives.
Speaker 5: Tex.
Speaker 1: Good to have you on the fifty five cares in
Speaker 1: Morning show. My friend, welcome, oh thank you for having
Speaker 1: me twenty nine years old. Have I got that right? Yes, sir, Well,
Speaker 1: it's an amazing accomplishment and congratulations on reaching that lofty
Speaker 1: goal at such a young age. And you are fighting
Speaker 1: to protect what we voted for and overwhelming numbers here
Speaker 1: in the state of Ohio. That was an issue too.
Speaker 1: November twenty three, fifty seven percent of Ohioans voted yes
Speaker 1: to legalize recreational cannabis use in marijuana use in the
Speaker 1: state of Ohio, and immediately it was actually mostly driven
Speaker 1: by the Republicans side of the ledger, although you may
Speaker 1: know some Democrats who are trying to change the law,
Speaker 1: but this wasn't a constitutional amendment, so the legislative brands
Speaker 1: can make changes to what we passed by overwhelming majority.
Speaker 1: What are they trying to do? You're in opposition to
Speaker 1: some of these changes. What are the proposals and what
Speaker 1: types of changes are being thrown around in Columbus right now?
Speaker 3: Tex Yeah, I think so the bill has made admittedly
Speaker 3: a lot of progress, I think in the right direction.
Speaker 3: So we're talking about a Senate Bill fifty six. I
Speaker 3: was introduced at the beginning of the year and moved
Speaker 3: pretty quickly through the Senate, and then as I got
Speaker 3: to the House, a lot of changes have been made.
Speaker 3: So I still have not seen the most up to
Speaker 3: date version of the bill, but I do know that
Speaker 3: it has moved in a pretty significantly positive direction in
Speaker 3: terms of respecting the world of voters. And I think
Speaker 3: the goal of what myself and some of the other
Speaker 3: folks working on this is we really want this to
Speaker 3: be more of an implementation of issue too, because there
Speaker 3: are a lot of language in the battle initiative was
Speaker 3: kind of insufficient.
Speaker 4: It was a little bit vague.
Speaker 3: It didn't give I think the proper guardrails to the
Speaker 3: administrative folks at the Division of Cannabis Control to really
Speaker 3: implement the legal cannabis market in a way that makes
Speaker 3: sense in this pro business. So that's what I'm looking for.
Speaker 3: I think it's making a lot of progress in that direction,
Speaker 3: but ultimately we weren't entirely there. I think there are
Speaker 3: definitely some folks that want to see things more restricted,
Speaker 3: and I certainly you know, understand where they're coming from,
Speaker 3: but that's not what the people voted for. So I
Speaker 3: think our job is to try to find the right
Speaker 3: balance of making sure we're protecting the intent of what
Speaker 3: the voters passed an issue too, while also making it
Speaker 3: a little bit easier for those folks to do business,
Speaker 3: and also addressing the hemp issue in a smart and
Speaker 3: reasonable way, because I think that was another big sticking
Speaker 3: point for myself and some other folks on the Republican
Speaker 3: side of the legislature that we want to make sure
Speaker 3: that whatever we do on these is the right thing
Speaker 3: to do, and not just passing something so we can
Speaker 3: say we passed something and then end up just you know,
Speaker 3: and ending up with a constitutional amendment that we can't change,
Speaker 3: which is just going to waste a whole lot of
Speaker 3: everyone's time and money. And I think we can do
Speaker 3: this the right way and so respectable of the voters.
Speaker 1: Well, now, is there a division or like a distinction
Speaker 1: being drawn between hemp and marijuana? Is that one of
Speaker 1: the things that's being bandied about and argued over because
Speaker 1: you know, hemp, to me is is just an industrial product.
Speaker 1: You can't get high on it. And I remember one
Speaker 1: politician saying those self respecting dope head would even be
Speaker 1: caught smoking hemp. I mean, it's an exercise and futility
Speaker 1: to get high off of it. So but it has
Speaker 1: great industrial You can make any literally anything out of it,
Speaker 1: clothing and play plastics, and make wood products out of it.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of industrial uses for it. I
Speaker 1: mean that is even is there even a need to
Speaker 1: regulate it just because it looks like marijuana? I mean,
Speaker 1: what's the story on hamp relative to marijuana? Text?
Speaker 3: So the issue there is so familiar with like the
Speaker 3: Delta eight or the types of intoxicating THHC products which
Speaker 3: are hemp derived. Sometimes in some cases they're synthesized you know,
Speaker 3: there are some fairly intoxicating products that are very accessible
Speaker 3: to get right now in gas station's, convenience stores, okay
Speaker 3: and the like.
Speaker 1: So they're concentrating, they're concentrating the low level hamp. It's
Speaker 1: like less than three percent I suppose in hemp, and
Speaker 1: they're taking that and concentrating it into something that is
Speaker 1: well obviously much more capable of getting someone intoxicated.
Speaker 3: Correct, So that under the Farm Bill passed several years
Speaker 3: ago in DC, it actually legalized all these different hemp
Speaker 3: products with the standard you know, you can't have more
Speaker 3: total THHC than point zero three percent by dry weight.
Speaker 3: You know, there are a lot of technicalities technicalities involved
Speaker 3: in that. But the issue that we're seeing is there
Speaker 3: are intoxicating products that are readily readily available, but under
Speaker 3: federal law, the recreational adult use cannabis products and any
Speaker 3: of these intoxicating hemp drive products are two totally different products.
Speaker 3: So these are federally legal, and I think we all
Speaker 3: agree there are issues. We don't want kids being able
Speaker 3: to walk into a gas station and buy like a
Speaker 3: THHD evate, But I think some of the proposals to
Speaker 3: address that, we're also kind of an over correction and
Speaker 3: when it end up harming a lot of small businesses
Speaker 3: that do want to play by the roles and accept
Speaker 3: that there is a need for regulation and some quality
Speaker 3: controls and to make sure kids aren't getting these things.
Speaker 3: But finding the right balance between address in the safety
Speaker 3: issue and also not putting a whole lot of people.
Speaker 1: Out of business.
Speaker 3: That's that's another another area where it's easier said than done.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what text fecialist. Pause, if you
Speaker 1: don't mind, I'll hold you over and bring you back
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit more about what's being proposed
Speaker 1: and why you know in some cases you're against it
Speaker 1: or in favor of it more with representative at tex Fisher.
Speaker 1: We'll take a break care but back in just a
Speaker 1: few brief few minutes. Hang in.

Speaker 11: Does a wreck on Glenway at Muddy Creek Schock Kingram
Speaker 11: one hundred fifty five krc the talk station.
Speaker 1: Hey forty nine coming to an eight fifty fifty five
Speaker 1: KRCD talk station. Greg Thomas with represented a text fissure
Speaker 1: here from the State of Ohio Republican at a District
Speaker 1: fifty nine with some ideas about protecting our rights to
Speaker 1: access marijuana. Pursuing to the twenty twenty three issue, two
Speaker 1: fifty seven percent of US voted to legalize marijuana. One
Speaker 1: of the things that sounds like they're going back to
Speaker 1: our hemp discussion, the idea that yeah, hemp is hamp
Speaker 1: and you can't get high on it, but they, you know,
Speaker 1: they back behind the scenes, they can process this into
Speaker 1: something that is intoxicating, and it's being sold in you know,
Speaker 1: places outside of licensed marijuana dispensaries. You know, you got
Speaker 1: your state licensed you know shops, and then you got
Speaker 1: your grocery stores, your smoke shops and all that. Isn't
Speaker 1: there an age limit already in place? Text fis sure
Speaker 1: that prevents young people from buying it, assuming that the
Speaker 1: various shops that it's sold at are karting or otherwise
Speaker 1: following the law.
Speaker 4: So not necessarily.
Speaker 7: So.
Speaker 3: The issue that we're dealing with here and is this
Speaker 3: is just it's sort of a wild West right now. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And I think that's that's an area of cause, an
Speaker 3: area of concern for pretty much everybody across the aisle.
Speaker 3: The issue is you know, are we going to overregulate
Speaker 3: these products to the point where you put a lot
Speaker 3: of people out of business? Because of course, like any industry,
Speaker 3: there are bad actors in this space, but there are
Speaker 3: also a lot of good people that are following the law,
Speaker 3: that are invested a lot of money just trying to
Speaker 3: make a living. And I think whatever we need to
Speaker 3: do needs to try to strike the appropriate balance of
Speaker 3: safety and also being pro business and respecting the fact
Speaker 3: that if we were to ban these products at the
Speaker 3: state level in Ohio, put these people in Ohio out
Speaker 3: of business. People just go on the internet by the
Speaker 3: exact same stuff and we'd have no ability to control it,
Speaker 3: no ability to test it, to regulate it. So it's,
Speaker 3: you know, it's the reality of you know, we may
Speaker 3: not like something, or some folks may not like something,
Speaker 3: but if they can get it, why don't we just
Speaker 3: accept that we want to push them into a market.
Speaker 3: Kind of similar to the conversation about legalizing marijuana is
Speaker 3: if people were getting, buying, smoking, and jesting marijuana before
Speaker 3: it was legal, we all understand that, but now that
Speaker 3: we have a legal market, I think they have a
Speaker 3: lot of good people in that space that are making
Speaker 3: sure these products are as safe as they can be
Speaker 3: and have a lot of quality controls and safety controls,
Speaker 3: And I think that's the appropriate balance mean to try
Speaker 3: to find is the reality of people get these stuff,
Speaker 3: this stuff on the internet. But whatever we do, we
Speaker 3: should also encourage people to buy Ohio based products and
Speaker 3: support Ohio hemp farmers.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And if there's a reason to buy an Ohio
Speaker 1: based product, for example, it's been tests that it doesn't
Speaker 1: have any you know, funguses or things growing in it,
Speaker 1: and it is safe. I guess maybe part of this
Speaker 1: conversation about this Delta eight which is derived from this
Speaker 1: low level THC hemp, is is it the same thing
Speaker 1: as marijuana in terms of the dangers or harm it
Speaker 1: might present? Is that a separate discussion that's going on
Speaker 1: is it's sort of a horse of a different color
Speaker 1: as compared to marijuana and the intoxicating THHD marijuana.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. And I think the big the
Speaker 3: big issue we have is quality control. And I think
Speaker 3: that there is there's some folks in the marijuana industry,
Speaker 3: and I think their right to believe this is that
Speaker 3: there are some of these retailers and not necessarily the
Speaker 3: faults of the retailers. So some of these producers that
Speaker 3: are selling these products labeled as Delta eight and they're
Speaker 3: just not there's probably excess excess marijuana from another state
Speaker 3: that they process and pass off because they can sell
Speaker 3: it to a much larger market outside of dispensaries. So
Speaker 3: I think number one something that we need to do
Speaker 3: is make sure that whatever testing regime we include for
Speaker 3: these tent products is to be able to ensure that
Speaker 3: these are in fact have derived THHD products and not
Speaker 3: marijuana prepackaged or a different label. So that's one of
Speaker 3: the things that I've been pushing for. I don't think
Speaker 3: there's a whole lot of opposition of that. It's just
Speaker 3: a matter of, you know, what does the retail regime
Speaker 3: look like and how burdens them is this regular regime
Speaker 3: going to be and you know, we still want to
Speaker 3: make sure that we're allowing these people to stay in
Speaker 3: business with just you know, the common sense guardrails we
Speaker 3: all agree on. Kids should be able to buy it,
Speaker 3: you know, maybe you shouldn't be able to go into
Speaker 3: a gas station and buy a pre roll joint or
Speaker 3: something and things like that. Maybe that's the starting point
Speaker 3: and the common ground that we all have. But there's
Speaker 3: a lot more to it and secate tricky issue.
Speaker 1: So much and so much more as being learned each
Speaker 1: and every day about marijuana it's impact on society. Is
Speaker 1: it really less harmful than alcohol? Because every time we
Speaker 1: have a discussion like this, text Fisher, I just kept
Speaker 1: thinking of alcohol. Hell, you can go literally anywhere and
Speaker 1: not literally, but there's beer is for sale, wine is
Speaker 1: for sale all over the place. They do it in
Speaker 1: convenience stores, they do it in you know, liquor stores.
Speaker 1: It's like, well, if you can manage, that's why is
Speaker 1: this so extra complicated? It doesn't seem like it should be.
Speaker 1: I got a real quick for part coming to day,
Speaker 1: text Fisher. The tax revenue was specifically defined and broken
Speaker 1: up to four different categories. Where the money goes, right,
Speaker 1: Social Equity Fund, you know, to help people disproportionately impacted
Speaker 1: by marijuana laws, to host cities that have dispensaries, the
Speaker 1: state's Mental and Addiction Service Department, and three percent goes
Speaker 1: to the state's Cannabis Control Department. Is there an effort
Speaker 1: to change that where the tax dollars the generated dollars
Speaker 1: go or is that going to stay the way it
Speaker 1: is in the law.
Speaker 3: So the tax dollar, the tax dollar provisions, that was
Speaker 3: another point of contention. I think the original bill as
Speaker 3: introduced in the Senate would have removed any share for
Speaker 3: local governments to the local communities that host these dispensaries,
Speaker 3: to remove their stake in their tax revenue. So while
Speaker 3: the rest of the categories this did get resolved in
Speaker 3: the budget, we were thankfully able to retain that thirty
Speaker 3: six percent for the host communities in perpetuity in the
Speaker 3: operating budget, which was a big win for I think
Speaker 3: a lot of us in the House that really felt
Speaker 3: strongly that we shouldn't be taking these dollars away from
Speaker 3: these local communities, and a lot of time and a
Speaker 3: lot of senses, these folks agreed to have the dispensaries
Speaker 3: on the sole condition of, well, we're going to get
Speaker 3: revenue and that's going to be enough for us to
Speaker 3: put the squad car or you know, another hire another firefighter,
Speaker 3: real important stuff. But we were able to preserve that
Speaker 3: the rest of the money moving forward will be just
Speaker 3: directed in the state general revenue find but the local
Speaker 3: dollars that was a big point of contention, and that
Speaker 3: was another thing that I was fighting for and really
Speaker 3: grateful a lot of the other folks in the house
Speaker 3: we're able to get that done for us.
Speaker 1: Date reversenter tex Fisher. That makes perfect sense. Hey, the
Speaker 1: reason we have a dispensary in our neighborhood is because
Speaker 1: we were promised thirty six percent of the revenue. Soh yes,
Speaker 1: appreciate you moving to protect that one. The text has
Speaker 1: been having it's been great having on the show. And
Speaker 1: to the extent you make any further progress or have
Speaker 1: more developments on this, you have an welcome spot here
Speaker 1: on the fifty five Cars Morning Show, So keep up
Speaker 1: the great work. Tax Fisher. It's been good having you
